The annual cycles of rain, renewal, fire, and flood is something none of us ever get used to. But we practice. The news team proudly won first place in breaking news for “The Forever Season” on the Whittier Fire from the California News Publishers Association. The Thomas Fire earned us a second for our web presence, and news editor Tyler Hayden was awarded a first for his “Housing in Santa Barbara.” But the writers bow to our artists, Ben Ciccati and Caitlin Fitch, who earned a first for their special insert covers, and photographer Paul Wellman, who won both first and second for artistry. Our unsung heroes are Jackson Friedman and Athena Tan, our copy editors. They make our words look even better than they sound.

Nature’s Finest

A recent outing to the newly minted Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve (pictured) witnessed pristine coastal wilderness beneath long views and a burst of wind-driven rain while cowboys gathered cattle ahead of anticipated herd-thinning as regional drought persists. The fate of the property’s centuryold ranching operation surfaced most recently in December, when the Dangermonds donated $165 million to The Nature Conservancy to purchase the 24,000-acre spread surrounding Point Conception, historically home to the Cojo and Jalama ranches. But according to preserve director Michael Bell on Monday afternoon, it would be a mistake to jump to the conclusion that legitimate free-

range beef production cannot exist within the bigger picture of preservation and restoration. “You have to lead with respect to how well their stewardship has been,” he said.

The Nature Conservancy is three months into an 18-month effort to piece together the complex puzzle of preserving the property’s flora and fauna while making it a world-class epicenter of research and environmental education.

Plus, added Bell, the property’s tiny pockets of civilization — mainly the ranch headquarters and a handful of small homes and outbuildings — are showing wear and tear from 30 years of deferred maintenance. The conservancy is also in

the late stages of hiring a full-time preserve manager. Bell’s foreseeable future will include ongoing sit-downs with neighbors, including Vandenberg Air Force Base, Santa Barbara County, and UCSB’s Department of Geography, where the Dangermonds have long funded research in the field of geographic information systems (GIS). In 1969, the Dangermonds founded Esri (Environmental Systems Research Institute), a pioneer and international supplier of GIS software. “We are now establishing a new UCSB chair in environmental conservation that will use the new preserve as a living laboratory for landscape monitoring, analysis, and management techniques,” Jack Dangermond said via email. —Keith Hamm

COUNTY

Supervisors Mull Bad-to-Worse Budgetary Options

PAU L WE LLM A N FI L E P HOTO

P

ublic Defender Tracy Macuga didn’t exactly

walk on water while telling Santa Barbara County supervisors on Monday how many County Jail inmates spend years behind bars at great taxpayer expense before ever going to trial. But when she was through, she all but got a standing ovation.

“You really blew my mind,” Supervisor Das Williams told her. “This is one of the best presentations I have ever seen,” Supervisor Steve Lavagnino chimed in. “You are a force,” exclaimed Supervisor Peter Adam, the board’s most outspoken conservative.

For all the praise, Macuga’s message was both sobering and depressing. Millions of dollars are spent keeping inmates locked up before their day in court. “Justice delayed is not justice delivered,” she said, teeing off on “excessive continuance” and the “culture of delay” permeating almost every step of the criminal justice process. She talked of five clients her office represents who have been waiting in jail between three and five years. Combined, she said, these defendants have cost the county $740,000—incarceration cost per prisoner is $42,000 annually—not including the added expenses of trial preparation, transportation to and from court, or medical attention. With more than half the inmates in County Jail awaiting trial, she said, millions of

Tracy Macuga

dollars that could be better spent providing mental-health services or addiction counseling are squandered warehousing defendants who more often than not need both.

There’s more, she continued. Prosecutors and defense attorneys routinely postpone cases. Important information and evidence are not shared by all parties in a timely fashion. Judges are slow getting cases on the court calendar and slower still in starting trials on time. “This is not a case for finger-pointing,” Macuga said. “We all have had a hand in it.”

If the heads of various departments created a quick task force, they could make meaning-

ful improvement, she added. One problem is that Santa Barbara Superior Court is funded by the state and not the county. Still, Macuga highlighted significant results achieved when her department worked collaboratively with county mental-health officials and prosecutors to reduce the crushing demand on the very limited bed space at the county’s acutepsychiatric-care facility by prisoners deemed “incompetent to stand trial.” The number of inmates taking up psychiatric beds has dropped by 50 percent and the length of time by 20 percent.

Supervisor Janet Wolf suggested it was no accident that such progress was made, given that the three departments involved — the Public Defender, Behavioral Wellness, and the District Attorney—were all run by women.

“No offense, but you know if you want to get something done, you want women sitting around the table together,” she said. Supervisor Lavagnino noted that 11 of the county’s 22 departments were run by women, including CEO Mona Miyasato.

The supervisors are meeting three times this week to hash out a proposed budget that would have been a lot better had this winter’s disasters not inflicted a $10 million crunch to the county’s bottom line. As it is, supervisors are reviewing an early draft calling for $5.2 million in cuts and the elimination of 11

The 2,800 acres of forest, activists say, are home to rare animal and plant species, including the endangered California condor. And according to Bryant Baker, conservation director for ForestWatch, the projects will ostensibly be done for fire prevention purposes, but that is not a guaranteed outcome. “That’s just kind of a way to dress these projects up so they can do a logging and subsequent timber sale,” he said. To learn more and submit public comment by 4/19, visit lpfw.org.

Anderle upheld its revised environmental impact report. The project proposes new carpool lanes in each direction between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. In March, the S.B. County Association of Governments and Caltrans received $226 million for the effort from the California Transportation Commission.

GOLETA As Goleta Library swings toward separation from the Santa Barbara Public Library System on 7/1, an SOS has gone out to volunteers from Director Allison Gray to help change labels and barcodes on the 75,000-item collection. The tasks range from pulling books from shelves onto carts — and keeping them in order — to scanning the new codes into the library system. A training session takes place 4/21, 3:30-4:30 p.m.

COMMUNITY Another $300,000 of Thomas Fire and 1/9 Debris Flow donations are earmarked for long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts of low-income families, United Way of Santa Barbara announced.

The funds will be distributed by six nonprofit agencies, including the Family Service Agency, Future Leaders of America, and Salvation Army.

United Way is also offering cash grants to eligible residents impacted by the recent disasters, focusing on those who lost family members, those with property losses, and those who lost work. The application window closes on 5/11. Visit united waysb.org for more information.

Goleta councilmembers Stuart Kasdin and Kyle Richards hadn’t seriously considered running for elected office before they attended an informative Goodland Coalition meeting on the subject.

To bump up the number of potential candidates in the city’s November election, the coalition is holding another free forum at 6:45 p.m. on 4/19 at Goleta Library. “Running for office is one of those bucket-list adventures,” Kasdin said.

Rural New Cuyama, in northern Santa Barbara County, has no veterinary clinic, and its bus prohibits animals. To bridge the gap, County Animal Services and CARE4Paws are bringing their mobile spay-neuter and dog-licensing clinic to New Cuyama Valley Family Resource Center on 4/22, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. The spay and neuter operations are free to county pet owners. There will also be low-cost rabies, DHPP, and bordetella vaccinations, and $10 microchipping. Call 968-2273 for an appointment.

TRANSPORTATION Results are in for the first two weeks of Santa Barbara’s new morning train. Jennifer Bergener, who directs the Pacific Surfliner agency, LOSSAN, said the first week saw an average of 189.6 riders, and the second week had 186.4. The highest number of people rode the maiden voyage on 4/2 — 248 passengers. The next highest was 242 riders on 4/11. The lowest was Friday the 13th, with 96 riders. The times were trending toward on time to Santa Barbara and early to Goleta by the end of the second week.

A report of a suspicious package near San Marcos High School drew Sheriff’s deputies and CHP officers to the campus Tuesday morning. According to the Sheriff’s Office, a passerby called 9-1-1 at 9:40 a.m. to report an abandoned suitcase near Turnpike Road and Hollister Avenue, by the school’s fence line. The Sheriff’s Bomb Squad used a robot (pictured) to move toward and open the suitcase, which contained a sleeping bag. No explosives or weapons were found.

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued two men whose 25-foot boat capsized last weekend off Santa Cruz Island. The men activated their personal locating beacons shortly after entering the water and then called for help once they swam to shore. As the Coast Guard searched for them from above, one of the men fired a flare to alert the aircrew to their position. The men were hoisted up and treated at Cottage Hospital for symptoms of hypothermia.

“These men took the proper steps in preparing for an emergency at sea,” said Lt. Robert Lapolt. n

Tajiguas Landfill

Throwing Cash at the Dump

T

he cost to finance and construct new sort-

ing and composting facilities at Tajiguas Landfill to extend the dump’s diminishing lifespan has jumped $91 million — to $540 million—since the city signed on to the county-led project in December 2016, the council heard Tuesday. A redesign, lawsuit, and increasingly volatile recyclables market created the delays and unforeseen price increases, city environmental and financial managers said, pushing the project’s timeline another two years out and inflating tipping fees to an expected $142 per ton. Translated into monthly trash bills, that would mean a $9 jump for the average resident and a $90 spike for the average business when the new facilities went online.

Phil McKenna, former president of the Gaviota Coast Conservancy, which legally challenged the project on California Environmental Quality Act grounds, urged the council to use the delay to explore other options.“The heart of this is that the costs are going up and the revenues are going down,” he said, emphasizing how China’s recent waste-import ban has upended the global recycling market.“The trade war with China

has directly affected the City of Santa Barbara,” he said. Given the project’s constantly growing price tag, McKenna went on, “You desperately need to look at alternatives.”

Sigrid Wright, executive director of the Community Environmental Council, echoed McKenna, as did attorney Marc Chytilo. “Conditions have changed, and they’re all just getting worse,” Chytilo said.

The city has considerable leverage over the direction of the project, he explained—40 percent of the waste that will flow through the Tajiguas Resource Recovery Project (TRRP) will come from Santa Barbara—so it should take the lead in finding a cheaper, more environmentally friendly way to increase the landfill’s capacity.

The council ultimately decided not to consider other options but to receive a status update on the project in six months.

Councilmember Jason Dominguez made a motion to study alternatives while the TRRP remained in limbo, but he received no support from his colleagues. “It sounds like the majority of us want to stay the course on this,” said Mayor Cathy Murillo.

Casmalia in Pruitt’s Sights

T

he old toxic dump site located near Casmalia has been added to the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of Superfund cleanup sites worthy of expedited focus and attention. This addition brings the list of such sites — released by embattled EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt—to 22. It remains unclear exactly what such designations mean, and Pruitt’s environmental critics dismiss the list—first released last December — as a publicity stunt designed to burnish the eco-cred of an administrator regarded as uncommonly hostile to his agency’s core mission. There are currently around 1,300 Superfund sites throughout the United States; the criteria by which Casmalia — or any of the oth-

ers—made the list remains the subject of speculation, skepticism, and debate.

The 252-acre site, called Casmalia Resources and located in northwestern Santa Barbara County, accepted everything but radioactive waste until it was shut down in 1989. It was placed on the Superfund list after it was determined that toxic contaminants were migrating off-site and into the groundwater basin. Geologic experts had assured county, state, and federal regulators the site was geologically impermeable.

Those assurances, it turned out, were not accurate. During its years of operation, Casmalia Resources, run by Ken Hunter, collected 5.6 billion pounds of toxic waste.

he rap on Sheriff Bill Brown—now seek-

ing a third term in office — has long been that he spends too much time in Sacramento. As head of the California State Sheriffs’ Association, Brown turned that to his advantage this week, announcing he’d been endorsed by California Governor Jerry Brown and U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, political heavyweights in the Democratic Party who normally don’t involve themselves in such local matters. Brown is facing last-minute challenges by two lieutenants — Brian Olmstead and Eddie Hsueh—both long on experience but short on name recognition and campaign cash.

Brown is hoping to win outright in June and avoid a November runoff, hence the deployment of such big-ticket endorsements.

Although Sheriff Brown is a Republican, he’s positioned himself as a moderate and pragmatist able to work across the aisle. The local Democratic Party has endorsed Lt. Hsueh, a 31-year veteran who’s championed de-escalation training for law enforcement personnel to minimize violence when dealing with people with mental illness. Olmstead has been backed by Republicans disaf-

fected with Brown and by the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association. Both announced their candidacies just a few months prior to the June election. Neither is attacking Brown on his stand on immigration issues — he opposed California’s sanctuary state law—or his handling of emergency evacuations during the Thomas Fire and 1/9 Debris Flow. Instead, they’re raising issues of morale and community engagement.

Brown was first elected in the wake of a scandal involving big-dollar benefactors seeking to help the Sheriff’s Office. He ran pledging to get a new jail built in North County, something that eluded at least two of his predecessors. (One, former sheriff Jim Thomas, has endorsed Olmstead.) Today, Brown stands about a year away from bringing this promise to fruition. But the path has been rife with controversy and littered with bruised feelings. Of the five county supervisors, only one—Steve Lavagnino—has endorsed Brown’s reelection bid. Two—Joan Hartmann and Peter Adam—have endorsed Olmstead. The other two—Das Williams and Janet Wolf —will not be endorsing anyone.

Goleta Election Counts Three Candidates for Three Seats

easoned campaign man-

ager James Kyriaco announced his run for Goleta City Council this week. The election isn’t until November, but Kyriaco’s decision means two candidates are so far running for two open council seats. Incumbent Roger Aceves has announced his candidacy for a fourth term.

The fifth council seat — currently held by appointed mayor Paula Perrotte—goes to the new mayor’s spot, a two-year elected post James Kyriaco whose sole candidate so far is Michael Bennett, a sitting councilmember who filed papers for the mayor’s race in February. Without an opponent, he would simply be appointed, as would Aceves and Kyriaco; a similar situation culminated the 2014 election.

Being in office is something that’s been on his mind since the Refugio Oil Spill, Kyriaco said. “I was running at Ellwood,” he explained, “and I saw a sign for the wetlands, right by some homes, and when I got to the beach, I found another sign: ‘Closed’ because of the oil spill. I remember thinking, ‘We need to do something about this.’” He also sees a need for design standards to accompany the city’s general plan and an overarching vision of Goleta:“We have an amazing university next to us; we’re the gateway to Gaviota, with all our hotels, visitors, and entrepreneurs,” Roger Aceves Michael Bennett he said.

REMEMBERING NOT TO FORGET: Sometimes you inter-

entitled. Wilson got smeared because in July 2003 — shortly after the United States invaded Iraq — he had the temerity to publish an op-ed in the New York Times accusing Bush and Cheney of fabricating intelligence reports to exaggerate the threat Hussein posed to the U.S. This was done to justify the American invasion of Iraq.

What made Wilson’s New York Times op-ed so unforgivable is that the year before, in February 2002, he had been dispatched by the CIA itself at the instigation of the vice president’s office to investigate the factual basis of those very reports: that Hussein was poised to purchase weapons-grade uranium from the African nation of Niger. Wilson knew Niger; he’d been stationed there; he was still very connected.

After an eight-day fact-finding trip, Wilson concluded those claims were utterly without merit and reported as much up the chain of command. None of that, however, stopped President Bush from raising that very threat during his State of the Union address in January 2003.

When Wilson accused Bush and Cheney of twisting the intelligence to wage war “under false pretenses,” Cheney and his aides — including Scooter Libby — hatched and executed a plan to discredit him. It would be leaked to reporters that Wilson had been assigned this mission not by Cheney or his office but by Wilson’s own wife, Valerie Plame, then a CIA officer charged with tracking the spread of nuclear fuels. It would also be leaked, along the way, that Plame was a covert operative for the CIA. It is a very big deal to expose a live spook. Lives could be lost. Assets compromised. National security imperiled. All that. Some call it treason. At the least, it constituted a serious crime. It still is. Libby — Cheney’s right-hand man — was never charged with leaking this information. Instead, he was accused, convicted, and sentenced for lying to federal investigators and covering up the extent to which the vice president himself was involved.

Trump’s decision to pardon Libby has been dissected ad nauseam. In some ways, it seems almost random. Trump readily confessed to not knowing Libby and knowing next to nothing about his case. He did know, however, that it was James Comey — then an assistant attorney general — who assigned the special prosecutor who subsequently nailed

view people to learn things you don’t already know. Other times, it’s to remind yourself of things you somehow forgot to remember. When I showed up at a strip-mall sushi bar in Goleta this Tuesday to interview Ambassador Joe Wilson, the famous bad-boy retired diplomat, it was definitely the latter I had in mind.

Today he looks more the aging rock star — round wirerim glasses, graying beard, black T-shirt, vest — than a Dirty Harry diplomat. Wilson first came into the news in 1990, just as the first President Bush, George Herbert Walker, was getting ready to launch the first Gulf War. He was working the Baghdad bureau when Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein personally threatened to hang him — and all embassy staff — if he helped shelter any foreigners then in Iraq. Wilson staged a press conference in response, famously wearing a noose around his neck. “If the choice is to allow American citizens to be taken hostage or to be executed,” he declared, “I will bring my own fucking rope.” Nathan Hale, eat your heart out. Ultimately, Wilson would help thousands of foreigners to get out of Iraq alive and sheltered hundreds more.

Wilson is in Santa Barbara to see about a lecturing gig in the global studies program at UCSB, where he graduated in 1972. He’d teach the way the world really works, he laughed, as opposed to how it’s supposed to. With more than three decades of sand-in-the-shoe foreign service, he might know a thing or two. He’s hardly shy about thinking he has something to say.

This past week, Wilson’s been much in the news over Donald Trump’s curious decision last Friday to pardon I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, chief of staff for former vice president Dick Cheney. Back in 2007, Libby was convicted by a jury on four counts of lying to federal investigators and obstruction of justice in connection with a premeditated campaign to smear Wilson. For this, Libby was sentenced to 30 months behind bars. The second President Bush, George W., would eventually commute this sentence but pointedly refused to pardon Libby. Commuting got him out of jail, but pardoning gets his record cleaned.

Most of Wilson’s remarks on Trump’s pardon have been accompanied by multiple on-the-record F-bombs. He’s

ALL ROADS LEAD TO I.V.: Former ambassador, lifelong diplomat, and UCSB grad Joe Wilson got seriously sideways with George W. Bush and Dick Cheney in 2003 when he accused them in the pages of the New York Times of distorting intelligence reports to scare the country into war with Saddam Hussein. Given that Wilson had prepared those intelligence reports, he might know. Cheney responded by attacking Wilson’s credibility. That included leaking information that Wilson’s wife was a covert operative for the CIA.

COURTESY

You Lie Like a Dog

LIAR OR LEAKER? I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby was Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff when he was sentenced to 30 months behind bars for lying to federal prosecutors, charged with instigating leaks that Joe Wilson’s wife was a CIA operative. Last week, President Donald Trump pardoned Libby — whom he didn’t know — for his transgressions. Wilson, now poised to return to UCSB as guest lecturer, was F-bomb furious. Libby’s lies helped grease the skids to America’s declaration of a war justified on false premises and a violation of international law.

Libby to the wall. That’s the same Comey whom Trump would subsequently fire as FBI chief and the very same one who’s now making the national talk-show circuit thrashing Trump as a third-rate mob boss with hands notably smaller than his own. The pardon, just as obviously, was made to assure Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen — whose offices were raided two weeks ago by federal investigators and all files seized — that he would be cared for should any criminal charges be filed.

Cohen’s crime — so far as we now know — appears to have been lying to banks to secure the funds needed to pay porn star Stormy Daniels $130,000 in hush money right before the election. Yes, that is a crime. The lie Scooter Libby told, however, was global in its consequences.

Bush and Cheney, it is now established, lied about the reasons the United States declared war on Iraq. They knew at the time they were spreading lies about Hussein’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons. When Wilson exposed that lie, they set out to discredit him. And then they lied about that too. The Libby trial clearly established that Cheney told Libby that Wilson’s wife was a spook. Cheney had told lots of other people in his office. But Libby told federal investigators he first learned about it from reporter Tim Russert. Russert would testify this was not so, that at the time in question, he had not yet heard. It was a lie about a lie. The lie itself was a big deal. The underlying deceit we’re still paying for.

Dabbing bright-green wasabi on big chunks of raw fish, Wilson said he didn’t really care about the subliminal theatrics associated with the pardon. “I am not opposed to war per se,” Wilson said. “I am opposed to stupid wars. I am opposed to illegal wars. This was a preemptive war, which was and still is a violation of international law. This was a war waged on false pretenses, using manufactured intelligence. How many hundreds of thousands of people died because of it?”

The answer, according to Brown University, which tracks such things, is a lot. So far nearly 7,000 U.S. troops have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars waged after the 9/11 attack in 2001. Another 7,000 contractors for the United States have been killed. About 370,000 people have died from violence directly attributed to the wars. Another 370,000 would die of indirect causes. Ten million have become refugees. To date, the United States has spent $5.6 trillion. Those are just numbers; they don’t tell the real cost. We’ll be paying that for the rest of our lives.

I already knew that. I didn’t really need to talk to Joe Wilson to remember. I just needed to hear someone else say it.

Patricia Dale Duffy 08/27/31-03/24/18

A behind-the-scenes stage manager, Patricia Dale Duffy worked in opera production, drove Hackney show horses, managed a stable, learned to fly airplanes, and traveled the world.

Born in Salinas, California, Patricia Duffy was forever grateful to her parents, Dale Winter Duffy and Henry Duffy, who adopted her when she was fourteen months old.

In Pat’s early years, the family made their home at beautiful Sky Farm in Los Gatos, California.

Her talented theatrical parents owned Dufwin Theaters, a chain of 5 theaters on the West Coast, so Pat had vivid memories of growing up backstage wherever her parents performed, often together. Her mother also had a career on Broadway and in film. They lived for a time in Los Angeles, and Pat attended Berkeley Hall School in Beverly Hills. When not on the road with her stage parents, “Patsy Dale” was cared for by her beloved maternal grandmother, Estelle Winter, a major influence in Pat’s life.

Pat (also known as Dale) spoke often of meeting many of her parent’s close friends, early Hollywood luminaries like Buster Keaton and Charlotte Greenwood. For a time, Pat worked for and traveled with the stage and screen actress Billie Burke (famous for her role at age 53, as Glenda the Good Witch in the original Wizard of Oz.) Years later, when her mother married Herschel McGraw, the family, including Pat and her brother David, moved into the Grayholm estate in Montecito. She graduated from Santa Barbara High School and went on to two years of college on the Riviera Campus of what became UCSB. In her late teens, Pat was awarded a scholarship by Friedelind Wagner (granddaughter of Richard Wagner), to attend summer Master Classes at the Bayreuth Music Festival in Germany, where she learned opera production and management. Upon her return, she continued to work at UCLA opera workshops.

Although she had tried acting, Pat discovered early on that her real talents were working backstage. At the Music Academy of the West, she worked on a number of productions, the last in 1963. She was Assistant Stage Manager and an understudy for Edwin Booth at the 46th Street Theater, Broadway in 1958 (and coincidentally, decades later, was involved in the revival productions of Cyrano de Bergerac and Much Ado about Nothing in 16

THE INDEPENDENT

1985 at the same theater.)

Her career continued behind the scenes with the Los Angeles Opera Company in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s under the direction of Maestro Wilfred Pelletier. Pat also worked for the Santa Fe Opera company, and with the San Francisco Opera under the leadership of the distinguished directors: Kurt H. Adler, and later, Lotfi Mansouri.

Returning to Santa Barbara, Pat became the Business Manager and frequent travel companion for over 22 years of the wealthy Santa Barbara oil heiress Cynthia Wood (who died in 1993 of a brain tumor at the age of 55.) Miss Wood was a generous opera and arts patron, which made for a great working partnership. Pat was a savvy business woman and, starting in 1967, she assisted in the establishment and day-to-day management of the renowned Cynthia Wood Stable located at beautiful Stalloreggi on East Valley Road in Montecito. Here some of the country’s top American Saddlebred show horses were bred and shown on the West Coast as well as in Louisville, Kentucky by their trainers, Miss Wood and frequently Pat herself. A well-known personality in the Saddlebred world, Pat (Dale) successfully showed 3-gaited & 5-gaited horses under saddle, and drove Hackney show horses. Eventually, Pat owned a small American Saddlebred stable in Kentucky for a few years.

When Miss Wood took her financial backing to Broadway, Pat assisted in the successful production of at least 3 plays during the 1970s and 1980s, including “Much Ado About Nothing” for which English actor Derek Jacobi won a Tony award in 1985 for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Pat remained friends with Sir Derek and his partner, Richard Clifford, for many years, and she was active with the American Friends of The Royal Shakespeare Company. She made numerous trips to London and New York to visit friends and see the latest theater productions. There was not a single theater or opera performance of the hundreds Pat attended in her life time, for which she did not save her ticket, the playbill and any critical reviews.

Always ready for an adventure, Pat took private air flying lessons in the late 1970s. She also travelled widely to the Bayreuth Festival in Germany, special performances at La Scala and Stratford, throughout continental Europe and Scandinavia as well as to Iran and China. Over the years, Pat’s finely-tuned driving skills enabled her to accompany many friends on extensive road trips both in North America and abroad.

Her volunteer work included serving on the Board of the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara and involvement in the Pacific Saddlebred Association.

Her mother and grandmother, both active Christian Scientists, raised Pat as a Christian Scientist, and she remained one throughout

Michael Paul Casey 04/23/55-03/16/18

Terry P. Roof died on Friday morning, April 13, 2018 after a long, 17-year on and off battle with breast cancer. Having lived in Santa Barbara since 1989, she was a schoolteacher and taught in a variety of settings and types of institutions, and was known for introducing new and creative ways of teaching. Her first job here was with the Santa Barbara Council on Alcohol and Drug Addiction where she designed a puppet show for first-graders in the county schools addressing issues of addiction. Then she taught in a court-ordered school in Santa Barbara helping students to complete their equivalency of a high school degree. Next, she was invited by the SB Police Department to join officers in visiting street corners and other locations where gang conflicts often occurred, and later assisted that department in preparing a report on “Gangs in Santa Barbara” She insisted that more had to be done to understand why Santa Barbara had such conflicts and that we should quit blaming our proximity to Los Angeles as the problem.

For many years, she taught writing composition at Santa Barbara City College.

Terry grew up in the small town of Cowpens, South Carolina, and attended nearby Limestone College.

She subsequently earned a BA and MA in Education at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst where her husband, Wade Clark Roof, was a professor prior to their relocation to Santa Barbara and his joining the Religious Studies faculty at UCSB. She loved to host faculty and student gatherings in her home; graduate students and Capps Center interns especially remember many such occasions including the southern dishes she prepared.

Terry was beloved by many of her students from across the country, from Amherst to Santa Barbara, whom she mentored and saw great potential. She reveled in the fact that one of her former students from Amherst included her third-grade school assessment of him in his application for admission to the US Naval Academy and was admitted.

Aside from being a devoted wife, she was the mother of two daughters, Jennifer Guilford (deceased) and Katherine Brandts, and a loving grandmother of six grandchildren, Lindsay Brandts, Maddy Brandts, Matt Brandts, Lauren Guilford, Rachel Guildford, and Emma Guilford.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages memorial gifts to the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center affiliated

Michael always said “We’re here for a good time, not a long time” and he lived life by that motto.

He wore many hats throughout the years; a finish carpenter, contractor, ski patrolman, avocado rancher, backpacker, surfer, pilot, stained glass artist, Australian Outback clothing importer, teepee dweller, sports coach, engineering mentor, world traveler, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and restaurant owner (BeBop Burgers), to name just a few.

Michael was always the life of the party and a terrific host. He loved people and getting together with family and friends, never hesitating to go out of his way to make sure that everybody was happy and taken care. His“Dad jokes” and sayings were common and heard often. He was a connoisseur of wine and food, loved good music and good times.

The many people he has touched throughout the years will miss him dearly. He was a pure hearted man with a lot of love, energy and ambition.

Michael was born on April 23, 1955 in Pasadena to Paul H. Casey and Shirley Gaffers Casey. He became a caring, loving and giving husband, father, uncle and friend to many. He is survived by his wife Nancy (married in 1990), son Taylor, daughter Analicia, father Paul, brother Tim (Louise), sister Maureen (Marlin), brother-in-law Rudy Michael (Corine) and sisters-in-law Silvia and Yolanda (Art) as well as many nephews and nieces, and a great number of friends.

Michael passed away on March 16 after a two-year struggle with pancreatic cancer. He left this world with his family by his bedside in the beautiful house that he built in the Santa Barbara foothills while his son sang and played to him one of his favorite songs -“Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd. We all wish you were here Mike!

Should friends desire; a donation may be sent in his memory to Dos Pueblos High School Engineering Academy.

The family plans to honor Michael with a Celebration of Life in Santa Barbara during Memorial Day weekend.

Thomas Endorses Olmstead

T

he relationship between our public safety agencies is paramount, and we need to consider who is best suited to be the leader of our Sheriff ’s department.

Sheriff Bill Brown has a long and distinguished 40-year public safety career. He is a fine man with a good family. However, Brown has lost the support of his own rank and file, at least two of the county supervisors who will regulate the Sheriff ’s Office budget, our county’s firefighters, and many more.

As a former, 12-year elected sheriff and three-year appointed County Fire chief, I learned that there comes a time when change is good and necessary. I believe for the Sheriff ’s Office, that time is now.

Lt. Brian Olmstead is the best choice to lead the department going forward. A highly experienced law enforcement professional, Olmstead is smart and well educated and will surround himself with the best available men and women to accomplish the variety of challenges they face every day.

Olmstead has received the support of the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, County Firefighters’ IAFF Local 2046, and Santa Maria Police Officers’ Association.

These are the men and women who are the first line of contact and support during the challenges we all face on a daily basis. They know whom they trust to lead them into the future, and they ask for your support now. They and I ask that you vote for Lt. Brian Olmstead for sheriff on June 5.

—Jim Thomas, S.B. County sheriff, 1990-2002.

Beyond ABCs to A-G

T

wo decades ago, a big fuss was made over graduation rates, especially as Latino/a and black youth had lower graduation rates, which created an achievement gap. A tremendous effort was made to close the graduation gap (Santa Barbara Unified School District proudly graduates 89.7 percent of all students), but a widening gap exists in accessing the college preparatory courses known as the A-G. The A-G courses are an integral part of a student’s high school coursework and a requirement for applicants to the University of California or Cal State Uni-

versity systems. SBUSD students are not required to complete A-G requirements. The latest district data shows that while 59.3 percent of all students completed the A-G requirements, only 40.3 percent of socially disadvantaged students and 3.8 percent of English learners completed these courses. In comparison, 74 percent of white students completed A-Gs by the time they graduated.

Why aren’t all students taking these courses? Some are barred, while others are told they are not ready.

This systemic exclusion prevents low-income youth from accessing courses necessary for a college application. If students are to succeed in high school and later in life, an optimal opportunity would include taking these courses.

To close this gap, other districts have aligned their graduation requirements with the A-Gs so that all youth have an opportunity to succeed. Los Angeles did it in 2006, and Oxnard Union High School District will consider adopting a resolution on April 25.

If education is an indicator of success (income, wealth, and health) in life, why aren’t we measuring A-G rates as a meaningful indicator of success? High school graduations get you a diploma, but the A-Gs will get you college opportunities.

We propose that SBUSD align the A-G requirements with the high school graduation requirements so that all youth have an opportunity to succeed and realize their full potential.

Izabella Gutierrez Calvillo 01/29/99-03/18/18

Bella passed peacefully to the other side on March 18, 2018. She is survived by her mother Perla Calvillo, her father Humberto Gutierrez, siblings Xavier and Ramona Gutierrez-Calvillo, grandmother Ramona Calvillo and also by her many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Bella was a senior at Olive Grove School.

All seven of Bella’s major organs were placed successfully – she was a true miracle donor! Bella saved the lives of four people – one person received her heart, another has her lungs. A third person received one kidney and her liver, and the fourth person has her remaining kidney and pancreas.

Bella is dearly missed, loved and treasured for her beautiful, sensitive and creative soul. She was instantly charming with her sweet and mischievous smile. Bella loved walking the beach and taking photos, listening and singing along to music, being funny and silly, writing poems and drawing. She loved spending time with her sister, with whom she was inseparable and looked up to dearly. Bella also adored animals, especially her three loving bunnies. There is a deeply felt sadness with her passing from this world at such a young age. Yet with only a brief touch of her spirit, she could brighten you forever.

The funeral mass will be on Saturday, April 21st from 10-11am at St. Raphael Church, 5444 Hollister Avenue in Goleta. Following the mass, there will be a celebration of her life at Goleta Beach Park, Area “A” (food will be available there).

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Bella's family to support their medical and memorial expenses. This can be done at gofundme.com/ isabella-gutierrez-calvillo.

She was 91-years-old and was preceded in death by her first husband Michael McMullen, and last great love and husband, Grover Stewart.

Doni, as she was known to friends, was born in St. Paul, Minnesota to Louis W. Hurd and Rose E Seidel May 8, 1926. Upon graduation from Hillsboro High School she was awarded a scholarship to The Pasadena Playhouse College of Theatre Arts. Leading an adventurous life, after earning her Bachelors Degree in Theatre, she toured throughout the Pacific with the USO entertaining troops during the Korean War. Flying in a variety of military aircraft and landing on various ships and pacific islands, she provided entertainment on the front lines.

She often remarked, “We sang and danced while they fired shells over our heads.”

Continuing her work in entertainment, she was a member of the Hormel Girls, a group of 50 traveling female entertainers that sang and danced to advertise for Hormel Products. She later became known as “Doni Hurd the Weather Bird” while working for KATU in Portland, Oregon. After a time working with the superintendent of the Hemet School System she moved on to PR Director for the Heart Associations of San Diego and San Francisco. After relocating to Santa Barbara to be nearer her children she accepted a position with Sansum Research Center. Upon her retirement she was an active volunteer in her community working with the Santa Barbara CALM Auxillary and Authors Luncheon.

Doni is survived by her two children Maureen (Mark) Groves and William (Gail) McMullen, her three grandchildren: Court (Crissy) Groves, and Ryan and Jared McMullen, her sister, Patricia Abts, and multiple nieces, nephews, and friends.

A private scattering of her ashes at sea will take place per her last wishes. A memorial will be held for family and friends in May. She will be so very missed.

Santa Barbara and the surrounding communities lost a beautiful, kindhearted veterinarian on February 9, 2018. Dr. Amanda, as she was known to many, was a gentle, caring and compassionate person who loved her many furry patients as well as their owners. Dr. Amanda was an excellent spay/neuter veterinarian and she was always involved

APRIL 19, 2018

INDEPENDENT.COM

in helping to control animal population. This passion began when she established a cat rescue in college and continued throughout vet school where she was president of The Feline Club, which had a focus on spay/neuter for feral cats. She was a surgeon for several years at ASAP in Santa Barbara as well as Mercy Crusade Spay and Neuter Clinic in Oxnard. In addition to her surgical jobs, she established a mobile clinic to care for cats in the comfort of their homes. She was an excellent diagnostician and many patients greatly improved as well as having longer lives under her care. Dr. Amanda also helped many animals over The Rainbow Bridge by doing in home euthanasias. She helped ease the pain of the animals as well as being a comfort to their owners. She always received praise and thanks for her calm demeanor and compassion from the pets’ owners. Dr. Amanda had recently added another “hat” to her many veterinary talents. She attended the Chi Institute and became certified in acupuncture and herbal medicine. Many times, she was called to a home for a euthanasia and saw where perhaps acupuncture could be an option. Often, she was able to give the owners more time with their beloved pets.

Dr. Amanda was born on March 12, 1971 in Raleigh, NC and she moved with her family to Texas at the age of four. After graduation from high school in Arlington, TX, she attended the University of Texas Arlington and graduated with a degree with High Honors in Biology. She was selected to participate in a graduate program, which was affiliated with UTA, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC. She completed her Master’s Degree in Physiology at UBC. At the encouragement of a friend, Dr. Amanda enrolled in the Nursing program at UTA where she received her BSN and worked in ICU and surgery.

Dr. Amanda’s lifelong passion was animals, particularly cats.

When she had the opportunity to attend veterinary school, she was off to the University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine for two years before transferring to NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine where she graduated in 2008. She was honored to be the first student recipient of The White Coat of Excellence Award, which was normally reserved for professors. For her clients, they would not be surprised to know that award was for superior care of the pets as well as professional, compassionate interactions with the pets’ owners.

Dr. Amanda started her veterinary career in San Antonio, Texas but her heart was in Santa Barbara.

Within a year, she relocated to “paradise” as she liked to call Santa Barbara. She settled in quickly and her practice became busy as her clients started referring their friends to an awesome new vet in town.

Manda, as her family and close friends called her, will be missed

by so many people including her loving family, friends, clients and colleagues. She is survived by her parents (Dr. Joe and Judy Lumsden, Arlington, TX), brother and his wife (Joey and Jamie Lumsden, Houston, TX), nieces (Presley and Amelia Lumsden), nephew (Hunt Lumsden), several aunts and uncles (including BJ Stapen, Santa Barbara) and her best friend and veterinary classmate (Kelly Ross, DVM, Nashville, TN). Being an avid supporter of rescued animals, she left behind her eight rescued cats including two blind kitties and a rescued bunny. Thanks to the kindness of many friends and neighbors, they all have been placed in loving homes.

Donations in memory of Dr. Amanda may be made to: Mercy Crusade Spay and Neuter Clinic 2252 Craig Drive Oxnard, CA 93036 www.dogcatfix.com or Animal Shelter Assistance Program (ASAP) The Lester Fund 5473 Overpass Road Santa Barbara, CA 93111 www.asapcats.org A celebration of Dr. Amanda’s beautiful and accomplished life will be held on Sunday, April 29 from 2-5 PM at 1735 Overlook Lane.

Ko Tsukada 1934-2018

Ko Tsukada, a resident of Santa Barbara, was born in Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan on May 2, 1934. He went to be with the Lord at the end of March 2018.

He obtained a degree at Santa Barbara City College and then went on to earn a BA at UCSB followed by master's degrees in Political Science and Education Administration. He worked for many years at the International Transducer Company of Goleta and also taught Japanese language classes at SBCC. He was an active and beloved member of Bethany Congregational Church. In his later years, Ko remained fit, keeping busy with his many hobbies. He loved to ride his bicycle around town, continuing to ride several miles a day until the last week of his life. He was involved in the Milpas Community Association and the local Sierra club, hiking on Friday evenings and even hiking many parts of the Sierras. In addition to biking and hiking, Ko made pottery and he will be remembered for playing hymns on his harmonica at church. He was also proud to have been a translator at the 1984 LA Olympics. Ko stayed single all of his life. He is survived by his brothers, Shu and Jun, both of Japan, as well as nieces and nephews. Ko will be dearly missed by his friends at the Sierra Club and Bethany Congregational Church as well as friends and family in Japan.

There will be a memorial service to celebrate Ko's life at Bethany Congregational Church, 556 N. Hope Ave, Santa Barbara on Saturday April 21, 2018 at 1:00pm. (According to his wishes, memorial donations can be made to Bethany Congregational Church)

State of Play Key Questions Shaping California’s June 5 Primary Election

I

n the June 5 primary, Santa Barbara voters face big decisions, from taxes on weed and the fate of Sheriff Bill Brown to Salud vs. Justin Fareed, The Sequel, plus the next occupant of the … wait for it … Auditor-Controller’s office.

Around California, meanwhile, there are a host of other campaigns and contests whose outcomes will reverberate throughout the state and across the nation. It starts with the paramount political question of 2018: Can Democrats snatch early defeat from the jaws of victory in their momentous bid to win the House of Representatives in November?

In the general election, Democrats must flip at least 24 House seats now in the GOP column in order to fracture Republican hegemony in Washington. Essential to their calculus is California, where Dems need to capture at least seven Republican seats—most in Orange County and the Central Valley, where Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump in 2016 — to find a viable path to national victory in the fall.

However, anti-Trump enthusiasm on the left has clogged the ballot in several contests with a surfeit of Democrats, setting up a scenario under California’s open primary system in which Democratic contenders may splinter the liberal vote, paving the way for a one-two Republican finish in June and hence an all-GOP runoff in November.

Case in point: In Orange County, embattled Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, aka “Putin’s favorite congressman,” had been seen as a strong favorite to lose his seat to a Democrat—until widely known GOP former assemblymember Scott Baugh recently jumped into the race. With six — six, count ’em, six — Democrats running, each of whom has raised more than $100,000, it’s easy to see Rohrabacher and Baugh finishing 1-2, freezing the Dems out of the general election runoff.

With less than 50 days until the election, here are a few other big questions framing the primary: CAN IMMIGRATION OUTRAGE SAVE THE REPS? To date, there is consider-

ably more partisan enthusiasm among Democrats about the midterms, fueled by resistance and loathing toward Trump. In

recent weeks, however, GOP leaders have found an issue that may galvanize their voters: A series of conservative local governments, most prominently the Orange County Board of Supervisors, have joined Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions in his lawsuit challenging California’s “sanctuary state” law, which limits the cooperation law enforcement here extends to federal immigration authorities. Republican campaign operatives hope the anti-Sacramento Democrat action will give their voters a rallying cry and a reason to turn out in the primary.

CAN NETFLIX SAVE ANTONIO? The

trick for Antonio Villaraigosa in the race to succeed Governor Jerry Brown is to place second on June 5, amid widespread expectations that Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, who’s way ahead in fundraising and has been campaigning for three years, will finish first. However, the former L.A. mayor in recent polls has slipped into third place, behind Republican John Cox, who is consolidating GOP votes. Then last week, Villaraigosa received a huge boost from Netflix chair Reed Hastings, who donated $7 million to an independent expenditure group backing him. Hastings likes Villaraigosa because of the latter’s record of support for charter schools; if the money helps put him in the runoff, education will be a central issue, because Newsom enjoys the full-bore support of the anti-charter California Teachers Association.

IS THERE A FUTURE FOR INDEPENDENTS? Although No Party Preference

independents by far are the fastest growing portion of the California electorate, no candidate outside the two major parties has ever come close to winning a statewide race. Now that could change, as former insurance commissioner Steve Poizner, who served in the aughts, is campaigning for his old job — running as an independent. A Silicon Valley zillionaire, Poizner made a fortune on GPS technology; after losing a bitter primary race for governor to Meg Whitman in 2010, he would win national attention by finishing in the top two in a campaign that features two Democratic wannabes.

here’s no doubt about it: The planet is in a perilous state. And with so many environmental crises on so many fronts, hope can feel dangerously futile. Luckily, good news does exist. Differences are being made. This year alone, right here on the Central Coast, plans for a controversial oil train were defeated, the Carpinteria Bluffs

were permanently protected, Diablo Canyon—California’s last nuclear power plant—was ordered to shut down, a new commuter rail service chugged into reality, and the Carrizo Plain was preserved as a national monument. In our 2018 Earth Day issue, we celebrate more of these silver linings with without forgetting the challenges we still face.

UCSB’s Peter Alagona on Teaching First-Year Students, Researching Wildlife in Cities, and Bringing Grizzlies Back

Tell me about that big class you teach each year. I teach the big Introduction to Environmental Studies class, with about 450 kids in it. We do some really creative things, even though it’s a large class. A lot of people complain about teaching those big service courses—they want to get to know their students and work directly with them, and I understand that. But on the other hand, I have an opportunity to change 450 people’s lives every year. I take that responsibility pretty seriously.

PAUL WELLMAN

or decades, the environmental movement focused on despair: the next extinct animal, the latest ecodisaster, the uphill plight to save a threatened landscape against big money and bought-off politicians.

That mentality can’t help but persist in this era of climate change, ocean acidification, and the last white rhino, but there is a new wave of environmental leaders working to bring hope and forward motion back to the equation.

Peter Alagona is one such voice. A professor of history, geography, and environmental studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Alagona is often the first teacher that an incoming first-year student meets, thanks to his fall-quarter class Introduction to Environmental Studies, which gives him the power to inspire like few others. But he’s also

BY MATT KETTMANN spearheading an effort to assess whether grizzly bears should be brought back to California, researching a book on how wildlife is thriving in American cities, and working to highlight environmental efforts that are cause for applause rather than tears, including the UC Natural Reserve System, which he helps manage.

“I feel like we’re so focused on these downward stories about how things are getting worse,” said Alagona last week, from his home on the Mesa. “Without being too Pollyanna about it, I think we have to make room for stories that empower people to make a difference. With the kids that I teach, you can’t just turn them off with doom and gloom — you’re gonna lose them.”

it’s expanding from a UCSB group to a statewide effort. We’re looking at the issue from all perspectives: ecology, genetics, politics, education, history, geography.

The goal is to answer the questions you would need to answer if you were going to have an intelligent and civil discussion about this and to set the stage for having that discussion.

I know it sounds crazy, but the further you look into it, the less crazy it sounds.

Because? One reason is that in Europe — which is about half the land area of the contiguous 48 states and has a third larger human population and no wilderness areas—they’ve got about 10 times as many brown bears as we do. (“Grizzly” is just the American name for [a type of] brown bear.) What that tells me is that this is about the choices we make. California had more grizzlies than any state other than Alaska. If we wanted to bring them back, we could do it.

PROFESSOR WITH HOPE: Peter Alagona is often the first professor a UCSB environmental studies student will see, and he takes that responsibility seriously. He’s also serious about studying whether grizzlies can ever come back to California and why wildlife is thriving in cities today.

Is environmental studies still a popular track at UCSB? The environmental studies program has really grown tremendously, even since I’ve been here. In the last decade, it’s gone from 300 to close to 1,100 enrolled majors. It’s just exploded. It doesn’t show any signs of stopping either.

Why do you think that is? Part of it is that UCSB has become a place you go for this, so we get students from around the state and country. And more kids are getting exposed to these issues earlier. There’s still not nearly enough, but there is more education about environmental issues in primary and secondary school.

Are the demographics changing? Our program is really starting to diversify. If you go back 15-20 years ago, it was lily white. It was a bunch of upper-, upper-middle-class white kids. Now it’s not that way at all. Over the past year, I’ve worked with close to a dozen undergrad research assistants, and all of them, except for maybe two, have been from traditionally under-represented groups. Almost all of them have been women.

The last time we talked was more than four years ago, and it was about your book After the Grizzly, which was about endangered species. You’ve since created a group called the California Grizzly Study Group. You guys are actually analyzing the reality of bringing the grizzlies back! The book talked about grizzlies in California, but I didn’t talk about reintroduction. I thought it was kind of frivolous. Then a year later, the Center for Biological Diversity submitted a petition to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to list grizzlies in California and the Southwest as endangered and start a reintroduction and recovery program. It was rejected on legalistic grounds, and it wasn’t a very good petition.

But the reason was because the last significant research done on grizzlies in California was published in 1955, over 60 years ago. I put a call out to a bunch of students and colleagues on campus, thinking that it might be fun to take a fresh look at the issue. We’ve been working on it the past two years, and now

‘Why are our cities filling up with wildlife at the same time that globally we are losing a lot of it? It’s a complicated story that took 100 or so years to unfold.’

What is your next book? I’m working on a book about wildlife in American cities. If you go back 100 years in North American cities, there was very little wildlife. There were no deer running around; there were very few middle-sized predators like foxes and coyotes and even skunks. Now there are black bears and turkeys and large wading birds like herons and raptors that are everywhere — even marine mammals, which were almost totally obliterated almost 100 years ago.

So in American cities, people are living closer to medium- and large-bodied charismatic animals. This is happening at the same time as, globally, we are seeing a dramatic decline of biological diversity. Why are our cities filling up with wildlife at the same time that globally we are losing a lot of it? It’s a complicated story that took 100 or so years to unfold.

What are some of the reasons? Most big cities are in places that used to be very biologically diverse, so these are places where animals naturally come back. In the 19th century, cities filled up with domestic and feral animals, horses and cows and feral dogs, but they were cleared out by the early part of the 20th century. There was a short period when we got used to no free-roaming animals.

And then suburbanization destroyed habitat for many species but created habitat for others. Suburbs subsidize these animals with all kinds of food and water and shelter and resources, and there’s no hunting there. And then there are other factors, like the Endangered Species Act and habitat conservation plans and the new parks movement.

This flips everything on its head. For some species that can avoid the hazards and take advantage of the opportunities, cities are now serving like sanctuaries.

A lot of creatures that can’t handle it get wiped out, but for those that can, cities have become kind of a boon. It’s something that the ecological theory of a quarter century ago would not have predicted. n

ven though intense winter rains and the Pineapple Express wreaked unholy havoc on the South Coast earlier this year, Santa Barbara still remains firmly in the clutches of one of Desal plant the worst droughts ever recorded. The good news is that the City of Santa Barbara now has a functioning desalination plant to help us squeak by should meteorological conditions not change.

The bad news, of course, is that the facility requires ungodly quantities of elec- OF COURSE, IS THAT THE FACILITY REQUIRES tricity to work. That makes UNGODLY QUANTITIES OF ELECTRICITY TO WORK. it a major producer of greenhouse gases. Those into bitter irony have noted that the desalination plant’s emissions will exacerbate the very climatic conditions that made the plant necessary in the first place. Others are pushing behind the scenes for after-the-fact mitigations to offset the impacts of such emissions.

In the meantime, the Montecito Water District and the City of Santa Barbara have restarted negotiations to operate the facility in a regional fashion. This approach might seem too obvious for words, but given the highly fraught history of prior negotiations, it’s anything but. Right now, the desal plant is run as an emergency backup supply only. Montecito is looking for a new source of water to meet daily, ongoing needs.

But does it make sense to use emergency water produced by Santa Barbara so Montecitans can keep their fabled landscaping green and lush? Such thorny questions aside, the facility could provide the key infrastructure footprint needed to develop the next new major water supply: treated sewage water. Where water is concerned, the future is flush with opportunity.

SAVING TREES TRAILS

ore than 200 volunteers from half a dozen corporations geared up with garden gloves, N95 masks, shovels, and wheelbarrows to join the Santa Barbara Bucket Brigade’s ongoing mission to dig out Montecito homes, trees, and trails inundated by the 1/9 Debris Flow. The event, held on April 12, was hosted by Oregon-based Conservation Alliance for its Backyard Collective environmental-action day — now in its 11th year — for volunteers from Deckers, Toad&Co, College Outside, Patagonia, REI, and All Good. “We’re not just helping the environment,” said Deckers CEO Dave Powers, giving a pep talk as volunteers headed to cleanup sites in a destroyed neighborhood off East Valley Road, “but also helping families rebuild their community. We’re dedicated to giving back. It’s our obligation.”

While a small team focused on digging through a family’s mud-filled home for buried keepsakes, most of the volunteers were dispatched to the oak woodland along San Ysidro Creek between East Valley Road and San Leandro Lane, a public open space established in 1997 as part of the Ennisbrook subdivision. Crews cleared debris from trails and removed mud from around the trunks of trees to prevent fungal disease. Much of the woodland is also littered with household items and trash lumber from upstream homes that were torn apart by the January flood.

Bucket Brigade cofounder Abe Powell explained to first-time volunteers that the magnitude of the destruction could be overwhelming but reminded them of how much their contribution — one shovelful at a time — means to both the helped and the helper. “This is as much a spiritual — KEITH HAMM mission as it is a physical endeavor,” he said.

PLUGGING IN TO

RENEWABLE ENERGY L

PAUL WELLMAN

Bici Centro

E ARTH DAY

COURTESY

ess than a week after Donald Trump first indicated his intent to withdraw from the historic Paris Climate Accord, the Santa Barbara City Council adopted the goal of meeting all of City Hall’s energy needs with renewable energy by the year 2030. The council chambers were packed. Most striking was the generational breadth of those advocating the policy.

Not long after, the City of Goleta followed suit. History has yet to determine whether these were yet more feel-good resolutions or ones with teeth. Sigrid Wright of the Community Environmental Council insists they give advocates a big sledgehammer when pushing for solar, wind, and battery storage alternatives to electricity produced via natural gas. In fact, last year, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) denied three major regional energy proposals that relied on natural gas, in Oxnard and Moorpark and at Ellwood. Santa Barbara’s old energy infrastructure is located at the tail end of Southern California Edison’s grid system.

To upgrade system reliability, serious changes have to be made. But the two city council resolutions—coupled with the PUC rulings Diablo Canyon Power Plant — give environmental advocates a major leg up arguing for renewables. Earlier this year, the PUC approved plans to shut down the nuclear Diablo Canyon Power Plant, which, it turns out, could not compete economically with all the cleaner renewables now available. With the plant’s licenses set to expire in the next few years, Diablo Canyon’s owner — PG&E — opted to pull the plug rather than endure the protracted —NW agonies of relicensing. That’s huge.

BIKE SHARING, MORE LANES HIT S.B.

T

PAUL WELLMAN

he most obvious manifestation of Santa Barbara’s new Bicycle Master Plan—many years in cogitation — is the mile-long stretch of protected bike lane that now runs along Cota Street from Milpas to Chapala streets. Plastic bollards give riders a three-foot buffer, at a total loss of 36 on-street parking spaces. Some restaurant owners did complain they might lose lunch customers, but the backlash has not been intense. Another move forward happens this June courtesy of UCSB, when 600 new bikes will show up on campus and the streets of Isla Vista. The university contracted with a bike share company, CycleHop from Santa Monica, which charges fees as low as 50 cents a ride. The bike share concept could also help commuters using Amtrak’s early-bird train service from points south to Santa Barbara and Goleta get to their work and move around town easily. Less immediate but perhaps more dramatic, the City of Santa Barbara has all but secured funds to build a Class I protected bike lane from the base of Modoc Road (by the Vie Obern trail) to Las Positas Road to the beach and finally all the way up to Cliff Drive. When built, Cota Street bike lane this will be the first Class I pathway Santa Barbara has built since the 1970s. Also, the city has found funding to install “bike boulevards” on the Eastside along Alisos Street, creating a safer route to Milpas Street, and on the Westside. In addition, bike advocates are teaching bicycle safety techniques to kids in about 20 elementary schools as part of the schools’ physical education curriculum. “A lot of people don’t believe behavior change is possible,” said Ed France of the Bicycle Coalition. “But we’re now teaching kids by the thousands how to ride safely.” A lot of those kids, France added, have never before — NW ridden bikes. Now they have.

LAYNE CHAMBERLIN

chisel-like hooves trample down the grasses, forming a shady layer of protection for the soil surface. And leaving the herd in the pastures for shorter times means more grass is eaten less, leaving longer leaves of grass to be crushed down.

In the test plots fenced to keep cows out, the native purple needle grasses declined while the grazed plots flourished.“More native perennials with their deep roots come back,” Chamberlin emphasized in the grazed areas, pointing out the cuts to the grass made by cattle teeth. “More diversity and more summer grasses are all to the good for the soil. For the ranch and the cows, it extends the grass season.” This year’s 10-inch rains, however, have cut it by two months.

In Santa Barbara County, according to the CEC’s rough calculations, as much as 270,000 acres are both flat enough to bring in truckloads of compost and far enough from streams or wetlands to avoid compromising them. “If we set a goal to apply compost to 15 percent of that — or about 40,000 acres,” said Wright,“that would result in carbon sequestration at a level that basically offsets the greenhouse gas emissions from the ag sector countywide.”

And if significantly more carbon were offset, there’s the California voluntary carbon exchange market—the smaller cousin of its cap-and-trade auction—not to mention offsetting the much-publicized methane from farting cows. The Marin project convinced the State of California in 2015 to include credits from carbon farmers in the voluntary carbon exchange program. About 900 pounds of extra carbon were stored per acre at Marin compared to control acres, in testing done by Whendee Silver, a geochemist at UC Berkeley. In comparison, driving from the Santa Barbara Independent in downtown Santa Barbara to visit the Chamberlin Ranch produced about 40 pounds of tailpipe carbon dioxide.

To compost large swaths of acreage, truckfuls are brought in, pumped through a tube, and layered about a quarter-inch thick, which is enough to kick-start the EARLY FALL: Compost is blown through a tube to cover a test acre. growth of more grass, as well as the photosynthesis that draws in carbon. For the new 60-acre project, a good part of the $200,000 grant goes to buy compost, said Wright. The rest will go into organizing workshops.

The contributions by university researchers, conservation agency staffers, and the ranch have been in-kind matches required by the grant. (The Healthy Soils Initiative also includes 21 projects, ranging from studying weeds and no-till farming in vineyards, reclaiming industrial sites for farm use with cover crops, and investigating wood chip and nitrogen interaction in San Mateo County.)

Digging with his fingers under the greenery last week and showing some remaining grains of compost and a mat of dead grasses from the year before, Chamberlin explained, “As you sequester more, one part of sequestered carbon holds nine parts of water. It greatly increases the water-holding capacity of the soils between rains. During storms, the water infiltration rate is quicker.” It’s an explanation Chamberlin provides fluently, having made it many times to curious neighbors and at demonstration workshops hosted at the ranch.

There’s a real science to creating compost. It’s not mulch, which is bigger and usually placed on top of soil to suppress weeds, retain moisture, or just look nicer than bare dirt. Compost, by contrast, is plant matter with nitrogen that has biodegraded with oxygen and high heat — so high the weed seeds and pathogens have been killed—and is rich in microbes that interact with plants in a complex cycle that benefits both plant and microbe.

In that first year of new growth, Wright brought several elected officials to the ranch to see what creating healthy soil was all about. “It was a beautiful day, and we took our shoes off and walked through the acre,” she recalled. “You could really tell the difference. The composted zones were cooler, softer, clearly holding more moisture. Once we were out of those zones, it was clearly harder, painful to walk on with bare feet!” If carbon ranching becomes Santa Barbara’s n future, the grass could well be greener on this side of the fence.

Reclaiming Her Heritage

T

You were 14 years old when the Turkish army invaded Northern Cyprus. What do you remember from that time? My family had the direct experience of war, of being under bombardment in our own home, and then we were forced to move to another city. After that, my family was not really together; we didn’t have a chance to grieve together.

A fascinating aspect of your book is how you learned about the workings of the illicit trade in antiquities and complex international law. How did you manage this? I am an entrepreneur by trade, so I knew something about finding the best people and then listening to them very carefully.

Because I had the full support of the Church of Cyprus, I had access to the best legal experts. The archbishop at the time placed great faith and trust in me.

Why is it so important to the people of Cyprus that looted artifacts be returned? The return of historical antiquities is a

vital link to our ancestors, our identity, who we are as a people. When it comes to religious art — the icons, mosaics, and frescoes — the importance is also spiritual in that these are used to deepen our religious experience when we worship.

In your book, you write, “There is a story of hopelessness visibly written on the face of every refugee.” After 44 years, do you have any hope for resolution of the situation in Cyprus? I am an optimist by nature, but I am not naive. I have had the experience of looking through wire at the city where I was born and went to school and being told that I wasn’t allowed to go home. I am not allowed to show my children the house I was raised in or the places where I played as a child. This is almost indescribable.

What is the idea behind Walk of Truth, the organization you founded? Walk of Truth is a platform for me to share the lessons I have learned over the past 40 years. I didn’t choose this work; it chose me. There is a voice inside me that drives me to protect the world’s cultural heritage, to be an activist committed to this effort. Walk of Truth is an important part of that.

Rising from

Ash and Mud

On the morning of Saturday, April 21, as a kickoff event to Earth Day the following day, hundreds of Santa Barbarans will gather on the field beside SBCC’s Garvin Theatre to create an image of a dove rising from ash and mud, which will then be photographed from above by Daniel Dancer of Art for the Sky (artforthesky.com). Teens with AHA! are behind the massive effort meant to bring people together after fire and flood tore Montecito apart. Here are two of their voices:

W

hen the Thomas Fire ignited Southern California, burning through Santa Barbara County, we could never have expected for Montecito to wash away in mud — for our neighbors, friends, and family to have their lives and livelihoods threatened. The near-biblical destruction we’ve weathered these last five months has been a shock to our systems.

This is why I think it’s so important — now more than ever — that we come together as a community.

There is strength in numbers; together, united by a cause, strengthened by solidarity, and victorious by virtue of our compassion, I believe we can heal our community.

However, it takes a community to heal a community. It takes communication, action, and effort to get “It” done. It takes time. It takes care. It takes love, and a lot of it. So, in this long period of healing, while unsure of what tomorrow will bring, in Rising Together we stand together, each and every one.

Born in Famagusta, Cyprus, Hadjitofi and her family became refugees after the Turkish army invaded in 1974.

DO AS I DO: Author Denise Baboolal leads an outdoor workout class.

Spring into Fitness T

he New Year has come and gone, and although we stepped into 2018 a few short months ago, many people have already done away with their fitness resolutions and resumed their old, unhealthy habits. The gym visits have tapered off, the fad diets have faded, and the excitement of achieving that weight-loss goal has dimmed.

But it doesn’t have to be that way! Our lives change rapidly — just like the seasons — and spring is a time when everything comes back to life more beautiful and vibrant than before. So why not allow the change of the season to reinvigorate your goals and get you back on track to living your healthiest and best life?

Here are four tips to help you spring into action: (1) Get outdoors. The grass is green, the flowers are in bloom, and the weather is gorgeous. Santa Barbara offers the perfect landscape to exercise outside. You can go for a hike, run on the beach, bike, standup paddleboard, or join an outdoor workout class.

TWO OF MANY: AHA! teens Alexa Sisney (left) and Isa Salvidar

S

anta Barbara is my home. It’s my community.

Though we’ve been struck with disaster, it doesn’t mean we have to fall apart. With AHA!’s Rising Together project, we are given not only an opportunity to create art — something incredibly healing to the mind — but also the opportunity to build stronger relationships with others in our community.

With this event, we intend to build our community up and inspire unity, resilience, and growth. By taking part, you will witness the power of the people and the impact the simple task of gathering as a united group can have. A single person can only do so much, but an entire community can do great things.

I’m rising together with my fellow students because we care about our future and the future of our neighbors. We invite you to do the same!

— Isa Saldivar

(2) Try something new. We all have that one activity that we’ve always wanted to try. Well, now’s the time. Sign up for that hiking club, enjoy a night on the town salsa dancing, or get out those old roller skates and invite friends to cruise down Cabrillo.

(3) Enjoy seasonal fruits and vegetables. If you are looking to clean up your diet and are bored with the same old foods, try a few new recipes using fruits and vegetables of the season. Some of these healthy delights include Swiss chard, rhubarb, and strawberries. For bonus points, plant your own garden. Studies show that gardening can burn between 200400 calories per hour.

(4) Get friends and family involved. Having someone to motivate you can make all the difference in achieving your fitness goal. In fact, research has found that people are more likely to lose weight if their exercise buddy is also losing weight.

So step outside, try something new, revamp your diet, and have a great time with a friend or family member while you’re at it. What matters most is that you’re staying active, preserving your health, and having fun.

A Requiem for Trolls Gone By

F

or a decade, they plagued me. Called me bitch, boob, bigot. Speculated about my weight and marriage. Pronounced my children morons. They spewed countless frothy phrases at me from the online comment section at the end of my columns.

Now they’re gone.

In February, the Santa Barbara Independent joined the growing crowd of news sites shutting down their online comments. Reuters, CNN, Bloomberg, NPR, NBC News, the Chicago Sun-Times— the websites of media companies are slamming their windows on the fastflying fingers of the fractious fruitcakes who spend their days anonymously picking fights with writers, public figures … and, well, mostly with other fractious fruitcakes.

Last week I moderated a panel on online comments for the local chapter of American Women in Communication. Reps from the Independent, Noozhawk, KEYT, and Edhat said they had great hopes for online comments when they launched.

“They were supposed to be awash in this great democratic process where the best voices would rise to the top,” said Matt Kettmann, senior editor at the Indy. They thought it would give rise to citizen journalism and terrific news tips. In 10 years, he recalls only one valuable tip from a comment.

Comments sections have grown increasingly vicious over the years, said Tom Bolton, executive editor at Noozhawk, which shut down its comments in January.

“You’d watch somebody new kind of wanby Starshine der in,” he said, chuckling, “and you’d think, Boy, they’re gonna get stomped! Don’t go in there!’” email: starshine@roshell.com Edhat publisher Lauren Bray said their list of comment policies is getting longer and longer because people keep finding more “creative” ways to break the rules. Bolton said policing these forums is like playing Whac-AMole: “We banned people, and they’d pop up again with another name or IP address.”

Monitoring every comment for racist, sexist, threatening, or otherwise offensive or illegal language squanders the limited resources of news organizations. “That means somebody not writing a story if they have to sit there all day and babysit,” said Jim Lemon, KEYT’s news director.

Neither Noozhawk nor the Indy has seen an impact on web traffic— or an uptick in letters to the editor—since shutting down comments.

But I’ve personally seen an uptick in the number of super-creepy NRA supporters who found my cell phone number and texted me (okay, one, but he’s armed). For that reason and others, I have to admit something surprising: I’m gonna miss my damned trolls.

Folks often ask if I read the comments on my columns, and I always wanted to say no. That seems like what a healthy person would say. But the truth is I always did read them. Because they made my work better.

I knew the snapping piranhas would always be there, their jaws clamped onto the bottom of my story, tearing into some point I hadn’t made clear enough or compelling enough. If there was even a tiny hole in my argument, they’d pry it open and start eating the thing from the inside out. In response, my arguments became tighter. I wasn’t satisfied — indeed I wasn’t done — until those cackling turd flingers were unable to find purchase in my paragraphs.

Online comments weren’t all bad, of course; they came in levels. First you’d get the kneejerk reactions of folks who like to squawk. Then came a few loyalists, if you’re lucky, defending your honor (much obliged, fair loyalists!). Finally, and only occasionally, you might get somewhere really interesting: to a broader dialogue, having kicked off a worthwhile conversation between mostly intelligent strangers.

Who’s going to bully me into making my arguments airtight now?

Who’s going to use my musings as a springboard for digital debates that rage on and on until someone posts an irrelevant YouTube clip?

William, the rifle-toting texter?? Pfffyeahright.

Lately, I reflexively scroll to the bottom of my columns when they’re published online, to see what the trolls are howling about now. There’s no one there.

Farewell, fruitcakes. I’m better for having resented you.

FOUR RUNNERS BREAK FOUR-MINUTE MILE yle Merber and three other runners delivered the goods Friday night at SBCC’s La Playa Stadium, breaking the four-minute barrier in the Hoka One One Elite Mile. With hundreds of spectators urging them down the homestretch of Nick Carter Track, Merber (3:57.74), Eric Avila (3:57.91), Daniel Estrada (3:57.92), and Graham Crawford (3:59.92) surged under 4:00, the first milers to accomplish that feat on the track in Santa Barbara County.

Merber, a 27-year-old competitor from Long Island, N.Y., is on a roll when it comes to setting milestones. Last September, he recorded the first sub-4:00 outdoor mile in the state of Alaska, clocking 3:59.36 in Anchorage. In both his breakthroughs, Merber was energized by vocal crowds. “It’s great to get people inspired to come out to a meet,” he said.

Four others finished less than a second from the magic number Friday, including Olympic medalist Leo Manzano (4:00.59) and UCSB grad Shyan Vaziri (4:00.90).

For Estrada, a native of Mexico City, it was his first time under 4:00. According to DyeStat.com, he is No. 1,501 on the list of milers with that distinction, beginning with Roger Bannister in 1954.

It may seem to have become common, but running a fast mile — which requires a fine balance of speed and stamina — is never easy. Just ask Aeron Arlin Genet, the Santa Barbara runner who attempted to crack the 50-54 women’s age record of 5:15.55 in the masters mile. “I was pretty nervous and went out faster than I’m used to,” she said. “It was difficult to keep up the pace.” She finished in 5:30.56.

Ce’aira Brown won the elite women’s mile in 4:36.94.

Although falling short of the 4:30 barrier, the Philadelphia native said, “We’ve dealt with so many snowstorms, it was a blessing to run in this great weather.” UCSB’s Jenna Hinkle, fifth in 4:38.81, set a school record as well as the fastest mile by a college woman this season.

He then outshot winners from Utah, Arizona, and Nevada in the regionals. Talarico is the third Hoop Shoot participant sponsored by the Santa Barbara Elks Lodge to earn the trip to the national finals since 1985. Another contestant this year, 9-year-old Gabriel Cordero, repeated as California/ Hawai‘i champion and placed third in the region.

fastest running of a marathon was 2 hours, 22 minutes, 28 seconds, recorded by Moninda Marube of Kenya in the erstwhile Santa Barbara International Marathon in 2011. Tyler Andrews shattered that by hitting the 26.2-mile mark in 2:18:42 on Friday morning, although it was on the La Playa track, not on undulating roads.

Andrews still had some running to do. The Hokasponsored runner from Concord, MA, went on to finish 50 kilometers (31.07 miles) in 2:46:06, a new world record for that distance on the track.

Paced by Rajpaul Pannu and Chris Frias for the first 21 miles, Andrews knocked off 125 laps at a rate of 5:21 per mile. In order to lessen the strain from making nothing but left turns throughout the run, Andrews ran the first 20 laps clockwise, then reversed direction.

He bettered the record of 2:48:06, set by Britain’s Jeffrey Norman in Timperley, England, in 1980.

From its start in 1970, the Community Environmental Council’s Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival has been a place for seeking and creating solutions. This year, as we bring our community together for the first large festival since the Thomas Fire and Montecito debris flow, we welcome you to join us in connecting the dots between climate change, a 300% increase in natural disasters since 1980, and solutions for building a climate-resilient future.

The Community Environmental Council has hosted the Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival for more than four decades. We formed to help the community respond to the environmental disaster of the 1969 oil spill, and today are engaged in responding to the broader challenge of climate change.

Visit our booth in Public Square to connect with our efforts to create a climate-resilient future through clean transportation, solar energy, resilient food systems, and reduction of single-use plastic.

APRIL 19, 2018 | THE SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT | EARTH DAY 2018 7

THE COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL’S 2018 ENVIRONMENTAL HEROES work toward a climate-resilient future at local and global levels.

When: Saturday, April 21, 2:00 p.m. Where: Main Stage FLORENCIA RAMIREZ author Eat Less Water

Oxnard author and activist FLORENCIA RAMIREZ uncovers the connection between the food we put on our plate, worldwide water supply, and the perilous state of our climate.

SEALEGACY Ocean Conservation Collective

The ceremony will be co-hosted by Congressman SALUD CARBAJAL and legendary singer-songwriter KENNY LOGGINS. Following the ceremony, Kenny Loggins will sing a couple of songs, including “Conviction of the Heart,” coined the “unofficial anthem of the environmental movement” by Al Gore. Kenny’s daughter HANA will join him on-stage.

The renowned international photographers and videographers of SEALEGACY trace the path between healthy, abundant oceans, and a climateresilient planet.

CONNECT THE DOTS As extreme weather events become standard, we must better connect the dots between climate change and its consequences, and must adapt and strengthen our communities to be more climate resilient.

Climate resilience refers to the ability of our social and ecological systems to withstand and adapt to the more variable and extreme weather associated with climate change.

In keeping with Santa Barbara’s history of turning disaster into an opportunity for meaningful change – such as the eras following the 1925 earthquake and the 1969 oil spill – the Community Environmental Council believes that the recent disasters present an opportunity to build momentum around climate resilience.

SHARE YOUR QUESTIONS FOR THE CLIMATE TOWN HALL Go to the COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL booth in PUBLIC SQUARE or to the CONNECT THE DOTS ART PROJECT to leave your questions for the upcoming public meeting: DROUGHT, FIRE, & FLOOD: CLIMATE CHANGE & OUR NEW NORMAL. Thursday, April 25, 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Granada Theatre. Free.

CONNECT THE CLIMATE DOTS: COMMUNITY ART & WRITING PROJECT

ART

Where: Along Anacapa St The Community Environmental Council invites you to take part in an interactive project to visually connect the dots between climate change, a 300% increase in extreme weather events since 1980, and the solutions we can act on today to create a climate-resilient future.

In parallel, you can connect the dots between your own personal climate story and the responsibility of elected officials to create climate-smart policies. Poetry, connect the-dot drawing, life-size yarn art, and letters to officials all roll into this activism experience. Sponsored by the COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL, THE POETRY BOOTH, and SOUTH COAST WRITING PROJECT’S YOUNG WRITERS CAMP. .

hef John Cox, who opened The Bear and Star

in Los Olivos last year after running Big Sur’s famed Post Ranch Inn, recently added another feather to his toque: competing against celebrity chef Bobby Flay on this season’s premiere episode of the Food Network’s popular television series Beat Bobby Flay. While no one will divulge the outcome, Cox was able to tell us a little about his experience.

Did you ever dream of being a chef who competes on TV? I think every chef in my generation watched

the original Iron Chef series and thought about how cool it would be to cook in a kitchen stadium.

I wouldn’t say cooking on television was ever a dream or priority, but it’s fun.

Were you nervous or well prepared? You really can’t ever be well prepared for this type of show. There are definitely variables you can’t plan for. Being

recorded from every angle can definitely be intimidating, so it takes some getting used to.

allgauchoreunion.com

How was Bobby Flay as a competitor: cutthroat or a nice dude? Chef Flay is a gracious host and wonderful

chef to work with. I really enjoyed spending the day with him in his kitchen.

NEW LOCAL STUDENTS

Do you have any plans to go back on the screen for another food fight? We will see. There have been

a few opportunities come up, but right now my focus is on The Bear and Star and all of the amazing events we have coming up over the next few — Matt Kettmann months.

The Bear and Star is hosting viewing parties for John Cox’s Beat Bobby Flay episode on Saturday-Sunday, April 21-22, 3:30-4:30 p.m. Half-price beer, handcrafted cocktails, and Cox’s competing dish will be served. See facebook.com/thebearandstar.

CHOPPA CHANGES: David Chen is a busy guy. He

opened PokeMe in Hollister Village Plaza last year, then Choppa Ice Cream in the same area last week, and he has two more restaurants in the pipeline: Choppa Poke at 716 State Street, offering Thai-style ice cream and poke in the former home of MAC Cosmetics, and 212 Hotpot, a Chinese restaurant opening soon at 6533 Trigo Road, Isla Vista, in the former home of Kol’s Café and Crushcakes. Due to a name dispute, Chen will also be changing the name of his PokeMe restaurant in Goleta to Choppa Poke, matching the title of his future downtown venue.

FOOD & DRINK

R

know that Finney’s Crafthouse & Kitchen has opened in the newly renovated Hotel Californian at 35 State Street, in the space once occupied by Rocky Galenti’s Bar & Restaurant. This is the second location for Finney’s, whose flagship location is in Westlake Village.

But they might want to consider making this new location their flagship, as it was absolutely packed when I stopped by last week.

“Finney’s is a locally owned and operated restaurant and bar that brings upscale cooking to casual dining,” says owner Greg Finefrock.

“Our local, seasonal ingredients are the soul of our culinary-inspired American fare. Keeping it fresh, flavorful, and, at times, unexpected are the goals we plan on continuing to hit with our firstclass friendly service, menu, and bar.”

Finney’s offers 30 beers on draft, a full bar featuring handcrafted cocktails, fine California wines, and seven HDTVs for sports viewing. “We are also kid friendly, family friendly, and dogs are always welcome on our patio,” said Finefrock.

“The combination of chef-inspired food and our craft bar makes Finney’s Crafthouse & Kitchen a comfortable and inviting gastropub that attracts guests of all types — especially a local crowd who can feel right at home, whether ordering a classic favorite or trying a new culinary delight!”

Finney’s Crafthouse & Kitchen is open for lunch and dinner (Sun.-Wed., 11am-10pm; Thu., ’til 11pm; and Fri.-Sat., ’til midnight) with Monday-Friday happy-hour specials, including $5 beers, 3-6 p.m. See finneyscrafthouse.com.

C’EST CHEESE UPDATE: This just in from reader

Jonathan: “I was in C’est Cheese today [at 825 Santa Barbara St.]. They are doing grab-’n ’-go sandwiches as of a couple of weeks ago. Some other changes afoot too.”

STARBUCKS UPDATE: The Restaurant Guy lives near

Costco in Goleta, but sometimes I end up at the Albertsons at 7127 Hollister Avenue when I don’t need to buy groceries by the pallet. While stopping in for a box of Grape-Nuts Flakes, I noticed that construction has started near the inside front of the building, which will be the future home of Starbucks.

CODY’S BAR RETURNS: Reader Kay Lee sent me

this update from Goleta: “In the ongoing odd saga of Cody’s Café, liquor license/no liquor license, open for dinner/closed for dinner/open for dinner again, today I received an email from Cody’s stating that they again have a full bar. As I recall, they sold their license so not sure how they gained a new one.”

DINING OUT

Guide

“The first day, we had about 10 women brewing,” said Matthews, who’s also Wright’s daughter. “Two weeks later, we had a zesting party, and the same day we added the hibiscus-steeped tea.” This painted the pilsner a golden, bloodorange color and gave it the sweet and citrus dimensions.

The brew was released on April 5 and is still being offered on tap and in limited quantities of cans at the brewery. So stop by to taste the delicious outcome of some awesome women coming together to support each other.

before the current craft-brew trend took hold, with only a passion to make good beer. “When the kids left for college, I was looking for a hobby,” said owner Paul Wright. “So my wife got me a home-brew kit.” About a decade later, Wright quit his day job to start Island, one of the first craft breweries in Santa Barbara County.

Their newest release, the Hibiscus Sunrise, was produced with the Pink Boots Society, an organization dedicated to supporting women in the beer industry. “People use it as a platform to further promote and teach women about the art of brewing,” said Laurie Matthews of the Pink Boots, which recently started inviting members to take part in partnership brews. “This year we found it very relevant to encourage women to come together and promote each other in our business, so we decided to collaborate with the Pink Boots Society and create a special brew.” The result is a golden pilsner with hints of sweet hibiscus and a citrus aftertaste from the Gold Nugget mandarins.

PETER HARPER’S CYCLES OF SONG AND SOUL

—Richie DeMaria

Peter Harper plays with Jason Mandell from The Coals Thursday, April 26, at 6 p.m. at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.). See sohosb.com.

S.B. SYMPHONY TACKLES MAHLER’S 6TH clearly aware that things were changing,” said Radford, “and you can hear it in the music, which seems to be saying, ‘Hold on, it’s getting dark.’ ” Summarizing the ambitious nature of this piece, with its extraordinary demands on musical resources (e.g., the scherzo requires four harps), Radford quoted a famous dictum of Mahler’s, who said that “a symphony must be like the world. It must contain everything.”

But don’t let the hype, or the sobriquet “Tragic,” which the composer disavowed, scare you away from what is certain to be an electrifying musical experience. Mahler’s command of compositional technique was at its zenith in this phase of his career, and the piece is full of the most exquisite textures and effects imaginable.

The S.B. Symphony performs Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 in A Minor Saturday, April 21, 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 22, 3 p.m., at The Granada Theatre (1214 State St.). See granadasb.org or call 899-2222.

—Charles Donelan MORITZ NÄHR

This weekend, the Santa Barbara Symphony will play a well-known, major piece that it has never played before — Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 in A Minor — and it is no small undertaking. With a full roster of 102 musicians onstage and a length of approximately 80 minutes, the socalled tragic symphony will be presented alone and without intermission.

The symphony’s principal bassoonist, Andy Radford, said that a lot of the musicians will be playing the piece for the first time as well. “What’s interesting to me,” said Radford, noting another aspect of Mahler’s extravagant design, “is how there are 12 or 14 musicians who don’t play a note until the fourth movement.” Radford positively bubbled over with enthusiasm for the work’s depth and complexity. Written in the period immediately before Mahler’s life was shadowed by mortal illness, the work is famous for its nerve-wracking intensity. For Radford, the work emanates a sense that Mahler knew hard times were on their way, not only in his own life but for all of Europe, as his beloved Vienna would Gustav Mahler soon be plunged into two devastating world wars. “He was

by carrying a ukulele everywhere, finding unusual tunings while idling at red lights. “There’s no ‘correct’; it’s just about feel and sound,” he said. His mother, Ellen Harper, a recording artist herself, was one of his firmest coaches and advisors.

Onstage and on record, Peter Harper is all about breaking the barrier between the musician and the audience: stepping down from the pedestal, knocking down the fourth wall with an extended hand. In person, his radiance is infectious. “I try to connect with people in a very human way,” he said. He sees himself as one player among many, answering to music’s call.

“There’s no distinction between myself and another talent. It doesn’t matter what they do for a living; they’ve got a skill set I don’t have, and that skill set is valuable to humanity.”

So much has grown from his grandparents’ shop, the Harper family tree now a wide-ranging, wide-loving cultural canopy: Ellen has a new album; brother Joel published a children’s book, Frankie Finds the Blues; and brother Ben recently joined Jack Johnson for a Montecito benefit concert. “It’s not about a competition; it’s more about spreading the amount of love in the world,” Harper said. “Everybody’s putting their love into one space for the world to grab at it, and the more the family puts into the bowl, the more there is to give to the world.”

On his newest album, Break the Cycle, the peaceful poet advocates that we “recognize the shared humanity in one another” to break seemingly endless “cycles of violence.” “One of the things I’m trying to get across to people is that even a small amount of patience and a small ability to listen can go such an incredibly long way,” Harper said. “It takes a lot to love somebody. If you could simply tolerate, in this day and age, that’s enormous.”

His tone, warm and deep, blankets you; his message inspires you.

It’s one he’s carried all his life. Harper, who is also a sculptor and a teacher at CSU Channel Islands, has been a lifelong listener of the world, but it wasn’t until his thirties that he began to write and share his songs. Growing up in and around the musical wonderland of his grandparents’ Folk Music Center in Claremont, California, he helped repair instruments for the family business, with ears pricked to the comers and goers and the sound of their music.

For the Folk Music Center was Peter Harper more than a store: Theirs was a home for many all over Claremont. “Every possible ican Jew, but this guy who grew up as a holiday, you’d show up to the table, and there Hitler youth, he didn’t care. We’d be right in would just be strangers in the music store, the middle of a mold, and every week he’d people who didn’t have anywhere to go. My stop and say: ‘You need to know this.

CELEBRATE 420 BY GOING TO HALE

No matter which origin story you believe, April 20 is widely revered around the world as marijuana’s holiday. This year’s observance is extra special, since it’s the first time since 1937 that smoking weed just for fun is legal in California.

While there probably won’t be clouds of smoke like you’d have at a private celebration, there will be loads of beloved songs and scenes that pair perfectly with a cannabis buzz at the Lobero Theatre that evening.

Santa Barbara’s resident record exec/raconteur Hale Milgrim is hosting one of his Quips and Clips Go to Hale affairs, this one deemed Stoners & Songwriters. As usual, he and his buddy Richard Salzberg scoured their deep collections of rare video recordings to find about 30 clips from such artists as David Bowie, Cat Stevens, Bob Marley, and Airplane, amounting to nearly three hours of audiovisual entertainment.

“If we wanted to put together the show we really wanted, we’d have people sitting there for eight hours,” said Salzberg, to which Milgrim added, “And that would be part one! Dave Asbell [the Lobero’s executive director] would have to be serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner to everybody.”

The first half of the show will be songwriters explaining how they wrote songs before playing them. “Everyone who comes is going to see numerous artists that they love telling stories about their songs,” said Milgrim. “And in some cases, you’ll have no clue that’s what the song was written about originally.”

The second half will feature “artists that have gone in the direction of the Grateful Dead or Pink Floyd, with more psychedelic and extended songs that allowed us to be in a different state of mind,” said Milgrim.

“Whether you get high or not, this is going to be a great evening,” said Milgrim, who plans to be on his natural high while running the event but has fond memories of how cannabis tuned him into the music.

“Pot let me hear sounds in different ways than I ever would have imagined. But that was most of my life ago. Nowadays, I’m just thrilled that people can smoke pot if they would like and not be busted and put in jail.”

MUSIC ACADEMY ANNOUNCES NEW SEASON

NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA RAFAEL PULIDO

T

he Music Academy of the West recently announced its 71st season, which will include the launch of a major new fouryear partnership with the London Symphony Orchestra. Additional highlights of the season include a community concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl featuring the Academy Festival Orchestra with the Los Angeles Master Chorale performing the Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection,” by Gustav Mahler under the baton of the L.A. Philharmonic’s music director, Gustavo Dudamel. Four thousand tickets for this finale concert on Saturday, August 11, will be made available at just $10 each, and young people between the ages of 7 and 17 will be admitted free with an adult (tickets required).

Of the collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra, Music Academy President and CEO Scott Reed said that this move “takes our fellows’ experience global and increases our impact on an international scale.” Reed also pointed out that the choice of Mahler’s “Resurrection” symphony is a deliberate response to the devastating events of 2017-18, calling the community concert the academy’s “gift to the people of Santa Barbara who have suffered, yet triumphed

over, heartbreaking tragedies this year.” It’s a great honor to have Dudamel involved, and the Los Angeles Master Chorale is one of the world’s premier choral groups.

In addition to these major developments, the Music Academy continues to grow in other ways. The Classical Evolution/Revolution Conference, which took place at the beginning of last season, is back, with a stellar lineup of critics, producers, and performers ready to talk about the latest trends in classical music. The opera this year is Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, and it will be conducted by James Conlon, the music director of the Los Angeles Opera, who will be making his Music Academy debut. Over the next three summers, Michael Tilson Thomas and other key personnel associated with the London Symphony will be performing and teaching at the academy. The full orchestra will be in residence for the 2019 and 2021 seasons.

The Academy’s Composer-in-Residence program continues with six participants, including the Pulitzer Prize–winning Caroline Shaw. All of this and much, much more will take place not only on the academy’s Miraflores campus in Montecito but also at other Santa Barbara venues, including the Lobero, the Granada, and the Santa Barbara Bowl.

THE ICON HUNTER

F

or more than 40 years, Tasoula Hadjitofi relentlessly and resolutely pursued an elusive ideal: justice for the people of Cyprus.

A native of Famagusta, Hadjitofi was a teenager when the Turkish army invaded Northern Cyprus in 1974, ostensibly to protect the island’s Turkish minority from a coup instigated

by Greece. Displaced from their home, Hadjitofi and her family became refugees of war.

Cyprus has some of the deepest roots and richest history in the Christian world, and its churches and monasteries are filled with religious icons, frescoes, and other works of art. Once Turkey solidified control of Northern Cyprus, the ancient churches and monasteries were desecrated and looted, and many significant artifacts were smuggled out and found their way into the hands of art traffickers.

Equal parts memoir and detective story, The Icon Hunter details how Hadjitofi became involved in the recovery and repatriation

BOOK of Cyprus’s stolen artifacts. Although never trained as a lawyer or investigator, and with limited knowledge of the shadowy, cutthroat world occupied by art traffickers, Hadjitofi nevertheless became the spearhead that united and animated the Church of Cyprus and the government of Cyprus as they tracked down stolen antiqui antiquities. “My sense of injustice,” writes Hadjitofi, “drives me to reclaim what was looted from Cyprus, and I will follow this vocation wherever it may lead me.” Which is precisely what she did.

Tasoula Hadjitofi is a proud, intelligent, resourceful, and brave woman who refuses to allow injustice to stand; she is a warrior in the battle to protect the world’s cultural heritage from those who would destroy it or seek to profit from it. “The cultural history of the world,” she writes, “belongs to each of us, which is why we must all contribute to protect it.”

Transformational Leadership in the 21st Century PURSUING THE GREATER GOOD IN CHALLENGING TIMES

P

eacefully plaintive and softly somber, Spencer VH’s new ambient EP, Acceptance, makes a welcome companion for all times meditative, mending, or even mournful. In three instrumental, entirely electronic songs, the Funzone founder/former manager unearths his more reflective facet, a serious side that may surprise those who recall his mirthful moods at his nowdefunct all-ages East Beach Batting Cages music venue. But just as well, Funzone (rest in peace) encouraged many an ambient, drone, or experimental set; on Acceptance, VH stands in line with the best of them.

The opening, title track is a truly beautiful modern classical piece that slowly and gracefully unfolds with gentle piano and crackling static. The second tune, “Spiral,” stabs and jolts with dark, buzzing synths, landing lastly in the indeterminate drift of “Igyl,” which

closes things out in a spacey bittersweetness lightened by dreamy chimes. The work on a whole is perfectly sculpted for the glooms and grays of spring and early summer, and in its textures one will hear wisdom and woes.

VH says the songs reflect “a difficult period” in his life and that the electronic explorations have allowed him to flex multiple creative muscles. He was largely inspired by the community he helped to foster here.

“We’re all complicated peo people out here trying to be creative, and Funzone was a place where I saw a lot of people in our community come together and embrace each other’s art, even if it wasn’t what they knew they enjoyed before,” he said.

There is much to embrace in this small but powerful release. Find it on Bandcamp, digitally or on cassette.

music, especially those regarding tempos and dynamics. It made a perfect opening, setting the stage for Schiff ’s crystalline realization of Beethoven’s rarely heard Sonata No. 24 in F-sharp Minor, Op. 78.

Despite the uniform excellence of all five pieces, for this listener the highlights came immediately before and after the intermission, when Schiff played a total of 15 Capriccios and Intermezzos by Johannes Brahms.

These short pieces, the product of Brahms’s later years, ordinarily occupy short slots on longer programs or serve as encores. Played together, and in sequence, the compositions of 8 Klavierstücke, Op. 76 and 7 Fantasien, Op. 116 resonate more deeply and inform

one another in myriad intricate ways that were made for the kind of rigorous yet soulful treatment that only a player of Schiff ’s experience and authority can bring to them as a group. The three Intermezzos, two in E major and one in E minor, that came as numbers four through six in the 7 Fantasien, ran particularly deep and mystical.

Following that, a thoroughly satisfying encounter with Bach’s English Suite No. 6 in D Minor, BWV 811 left no doubt that Schiff can play anything in the repertoire, no matter how distant, on his Bösendorfer 280VC concert grand and make it convincing, even transcendent.

CRIMES OF THE HEART BEN CROP

D

oes “three sisters” sound like a familiar point of departure for a play? Although Beth Henley’s Crimes of the Heart may not be Chekhov, it is a Pulitzer Prize winner (in 1981) and a classic in its way from a period, the 1980s, when the American stage was discovering the quirky yet loveable idiom of white women from the South.

The Magraths of Hazlehurst, Mississippi, have been thrown into crisis when youngest sister Babe Botrelle (Shay Munroe) shoots her husband. In the play’s most famous Presented by The Theatre Group at SBCC. line, Babe explains At Jurkowitz Theatre, her motivation by Fri., Apr. 13. Shows saying, “I didn’t like through Apr. 28. his looks.” It’s meant to imply that she’s somehow both too innocent to understand the need to produce a less culpable reason — say, self-defense — and too wild in her desires to censor herself. After all, the deeper conflict between Babe and her husband stems from her infidelity, a “crime of the heart” that has been captured on film by a private detective and that involves a 15-year-old African American named Willie Jay.

Older sisters Lenny Magrath (Elaine Pazaski) and Meg Magrath (Charlotte Bailey) both come to Babe’s rescue, sort of. It seems that their personal dysfunctions and unresolved issues make it difficult for them to focus. Leesa Beck is their foil/nemesis, the nosy, self-righteous relative Chick Boyle, and George Coe is Barnette Lloyd, Babe’s infatuated attorney. For a play that revolves around a shooting, blessedly little happens in Crimes of the Heart. Its cast-photo set piece finds the three women reunited around a belated birthday cake, but, in the long perspective of the 37 years since it premiered, those candles burned out long ago. The vague concept that theoretically anchors its relevance is the aftermath of Hurricane Camille, but today it just feels as if someone left the cake out in the rain. —CD

THE INVISIBLE HAND

concerting at first, proves to be the script’s most flexible instrument, capable of a kaleidoscopic range of emotional effects. What’s more, it’s from Bashir’s perspective as the disillusioned, radicalized son of immigrants who left Pakistan for the London suburbs that the play offers its most trenchant critiques of Westernization and capitalism.

The visceral tension of a thriller seldom comes bearing such rich veins of knowledge and speculation. It’s entirely possible that decades from now — or sooner — professors will use The Invisible Hand to teach the basics of hedge-fund-era financial strategy. Through his portrayal of the collaboration between Bashir and Nick, Akhtar provides not only this primer on puts, calls, and shorts, but also serious and poignant ways of thinking about their real-world consequences, which can be tragic. Take the time to see The Invisible Hand.

It might change the way you see the world.

W

ith The Invisible Hand, playwright Ayad Akhtar revives the political thriller, a genre that has been mostly absent from the stage, even in an era when it thrives in the movies and on television. The play solves the thriller’s perennial problem of the implausibly inhumane antagonist with a trio of “villains” who each turn out not only to have individual personalities but also to change and make surprising decisions for unexpected reasons.

John Tufts anchors the action with a spot-on, no-nonsense performance in the role of Nick Bright, the kidnapping victim. Sarang Sharma brings a smoldering intensity to Dar, the lowest ranking of the three captors. As Imam Saleem, the leader, Mujahid Abdul-Rashid conveys real menace through his physicality yet retains a specificity in his portrayal of the character’s complex personality.

It’s Jameal Ali as Bashir, however, who lights the fire that brings things to a crisis.

ALT-J WITH BØRNS

O

n Monday, fans turned out in droves to hear English alt-rock, folkelectronica trio alt-J (pictured) perform a stellar set as part of its Relaxer tour. The unseasonably cold night got off to a fantastic start with opener Børns, who wooed the crowd with his blend of psychedelictinged electropop paired with dynamic vocals and catchy lyrics. Opening with “God Save Our Young Blood,” from his 2018 sophomore record Blue Madonna, Børns squeezed 13 songs into his limited stage time. Unfortunately, the first half of the set suffered from At the S.B. Bowl, Mon., Apr. 16. poor sound mixing, with bass and drums overwhelming the singer’s oft-delicate voice and drowning out any musical nuances. When the mix was righted, however, Børns’s aurally dynamic creations were on full display, making clear why he is an artist to keep an eye on.

Alt-J then took the stage and proceeded to enrapture the audience with tight instrumentation, electric harmonies, and a fantastic light show.

I’ve never seen the band disappoint live, and so it was again at the Bowl.

The set list pulled from all three albums and included favorites “Matilda,” “Something Good,” and “Tessellate” from An Awesome Wave and “Left Hand Free” and “Hunger of the Pine” from This Is All Yours. Newer tunes from Relaxer also translated well to the live format, particularly “In Cold Blood” and “Pleader.” In addition to the group’s excellent musicianship, its phenomenal light show, which pulsed, rose, and fell to the rhythm and mood of each song, made for an epic evening.

wo things became clear on the whirlwind tour through multiple languages, countries, and centuries that was Joyce DiDonato’s recital program at the Granada on Sunday, April 15: This woman loves to sing, and she loves singers. The evening’s eclecticism remained firmly grounded throughout in the deep connection that DiDonato feels for students of voice. From the opening strains of Pablo Luna’s lovelorn celebration of Spanish identity, “De Presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures. At The Granada España vengo,” to the rambunctious embelTheatre, Sun., Apr. 15. lishments of Arie Antiche’s musical education standards as arranged by pianist Craig Terry, everything on the program seemed designed to appeal to an audience familiar with the arduous, at times heartbreaking journey of a classically trained vocalist.

DiDonato’s smooth and dreamy approach to Maurice Ravel’s Shéhérazade served as a reminder not only of the delicacy and sophistication of the French tradition but also of its complex relationship to the Arab world. Fans of the Metropolitan Opera got a taste of what’s on at present when DiDonato sang “Seule, je partirai, mon père,” an aria from her current starring role there in Jules Massenet’s Cendrillon.

The evening’s undisputed high point came when DiDonato performed a song from George Friedrich Handel’s Rinaldo. She introduced the piece, “Lascia ch’io pianga,” by saying that Handel is her favorite composer, and then ensured that, at least for the next five minutes or so, he became the favorite composer of everyone in the audience as well. A pair of well-chosen encores—Irving Berlin’s jaunty “I Love a Piano” and Harold Arlen’s immortal “Over the Rainbow”—sent us all home floating on musical clouds of joy.

McCONNELL’S FINE ICE CREAMS

L

ike fish, which are unable to see the water around them, it can be difficult to look back at one’s life with perspective. With this in mind, Sky Bergman’s documentary Lives Well Lived captures the history of modern America collected from the life experiences of more than 40 people ages 70 and upward. The film, which played at last year’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival, is set to open for theatrical release in Santa Barbara on April 20.

Born in Philadelphia and raised in south Florida, director/producer Bergman, who currently teaches photography and video at Cal Poly, is a prime example of life’s vicissitudes discussed in the film. Originally majoring in business while attending the University of South Florida in Tampa, she realized she loved photography and teaching while taking a photography class in her last semester. After graduation, Bergman procured a scholarship to study photography for a year and enrolled at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to pursue her dream of becoming a photographer and teacher. As explanation for the abrupt shift in her career aspirations, Bergman said: “Instead of saying, ‘Why?’ I like to say, ‘Why not?’”

Lives Well Lived is Bergman’s first film, which she did not expect to be feature length. When her grandmother Evelyn Ricciuti was 99, she visited Bergman in California, and the budding filmographer filmed the nonagenarian doing routine things such as working out and cooking for posterity. Those clips became the seed of Lives Well Lived. “I didn’t know it was going to be a film yet,” said Bergman in a recent interview with the Independent. She just wanted to record her grandmother’s day-to-day life because, she said, “I thought, no one will believe me that my grandmother is still working out.”

Bergman then became interested in finding other people like her grandmother — people who were “living life to the limits.” “I reached out to friends and alumni and asked them to nominate people like my grandmother to be interviewed,” she said. The hardest part, Bergman explained, was narrowing down the nominations to the ones that would fit into the film.

Now, with the collection of so many stories, Bergman’s small project became something much larger.

Lives Well Lived chronicles stories covering, but not limited to, immigration, surviving the Holocaust

Each shot is beautifully constructed and enhances the storytelling. The philosophies that the film’s elderly participants have developed and tested through their life experiences cohere across vignettes.

These pieces of wisdom range from defining success to reflections on the pursuit of happiness, with every interviewee possessing a lucid quality that Bergman described as a sense of “curiosity developed over time.”

She credits her grandmother — and this film — for teaching her that “a life well lived is a life where you think you’ve made a difference and helped other people … [so] live in the moment and be kind.”

Bergman hopes her film will prompt people to build stronger connections with those who came before them. “I think my life is much richer because I spent so much time with my grandparents,” she said.

“I think that’s inspired me to become who I am today.”

Lives Well Lived shows the strength in connecting with one’s elders and looking back on the hardships, triumphs, and luck in life. “Everyone has a great story to tell if you’re willing to listen,” said Bergman.

Whereas Battle of the Sexes — eyeing the publicized contest of Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in 1973 — was also fueled by gender issues and ultimate feminist triumph, the crisply named Borg vs. McEnroe has as its subplot the underlying psychology of athletic prowess, lust for the gold ring, neuroses, and the recipe for success there-between. Björn Borg (Sverrir Gudnason) was the icy, taciturn Swedish phenom who heeded his demanding coach’s edict —“Be like a pressure cooker and block everything out”— while McEnroe (Shia

Danish director Janus Metz wisely and artfully crosscuts between the tense buildup before the match between these young and volatile Turks of tennis and elliptical scenes from their childhoods and presumed breeding for greatness. He also lavishes extended coverage of the historic 1980 Wimbledon match, without slipping into sports-film doggerel or button pushing.

O Black Panther

(134 mins., PG-13)

Black Panther is the latest movie in a lengthening line of both serious and kid-friendly studio films that feature lead characters with different genders, sexualities, and skin colors. But Black Panther settles too easily into tired and predictable superhero tropes. It never jumps out of third gear, and its cultural significance is hardly matched by its entertainment value. (TH) Metro 4

Blockers (102 mins., R) Pitch Perfect screenwriter Kay Cannon makes her directorial debut with this comedy about three parents — played by John Cena, Leslie Mann, and Ike Barinholtz — who, when they discover their daughters’ plan to lose their virginity on prom night, fly into action to stop their spawn from doing the deed.

Camino Real/Metro 4

Chappaquidick (101 mins., PG-13) This historical drama documents the 1969 inquest into the death of political strategist Mary Jo Kopechne, who drowned after U.S. Senator Teddy Kennedy drove his car, in which Kopechne was a passenger, off the Chappaquidick

bridge. Jason Clarke, Kate Mara, and Ed Helms star.

Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

➤ Finding Your Feet

(111 mins., PG-13)

Director Richard Loncraine’s newest rom-com, Finding Your Feet, features a cast of seasoned actors within a familiar story. The film begins with Sandra (Imelda Staunton) discovering that her husband of 40 years (John Sessions) is having an affair with her best friend (Josie Lawrence). Sandra leaves her philandering spouse and, in her newly single state, shows up on her sister Bif’s (Celia Imrie) doorstep. With the help of Bif and a couple of Bif’s friends (Joanna Lumley, Timothy Spall), Sandra learns to enjoy her life once again. The movie is predictable but boasts a strong cast.

Even though it may be fairly obvious what will happen from one scene to the next, the connection between the characters still creates a strong narrative.

Finding Your Feet makes for a summery, feel-good flick. (NS) Paseo Nuevo

O Isle of Dogs

(101 mins., PG-13)

Writer/director Wes Anderson is at his meticulously whimsical best with the stop-motion feature Isle of Dogs. The story is easy and uncluttered: A young boy searches for his lost dog. The canine characters — marginalized and exiled by a fearmongering autocrat (sound familiar?) — are complicated and sweet.

Chief (voiced by Bryan Cranston) is a stray who bites but wants to be good.

Rex (Edward Norton) hangs desperately onto obedience in an upside-down world. The dogs muse, fight, love, and mourn. They perfectly personify the capriciousness and loyalty of a human’s best friend and humans themselves, all the while bounding through a world beautifully crafted by Anderson and his puppeteers. The cast also includes Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, and Yoko Ono. (TH) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

O A Quiet Place

(90 mins., PG-13)

Audiences dare not make a sound. John Krasinski shows mastery of the horror genre, despite A Quiet Place being the first horror film he’s directed. In the film, a species of blind creature hunts humans using hypersensitive hearing.

The Abbott family — husband Lee (Krasinski), wife Evelyn (Emily Blunt), deaf daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds), and sons Marcus (Noah Jupe) and Beau (Cade Woodward) — must live silently in order to hide from these mysterious monsters. The script, setting, and production are original and fantastically constructed. Krasinski and Blunt are married to each other in real life, and Simmonds is also deaf in real life, all

(107 mins., PG-13)

Loosely based on the 1980s video game that has enormous animals destroying entire cities, Rampage immerses audiences in a whirlwind of adventure about a group of mutant animals terrorizing urban centers. The story line focuses on an albino gorilla named George, whom primatologist Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson) has saved from poachers.

Okoye and his primate friend communicate via sign language and the occasional fist bump. When George accidentally ingests a gene-altering pathogen that enhances his size and aggression, Okoye and genetic scientist Dr. Kate Caldwell (Moonlight’s Naomie Harris) team up to save George — and the cities he is terrorizing — from the brink of destruction. Although Rampage lacks poignancy, it is a guilty-pleasure film, an entertainment entrée that soothes our temporary hunger for action. (JR) Arlington/Camino Real/Metro 4

O Ready Player One (140 mins., PG-13)

Steven Spielberg’s pop-culture-packed Ready Player One is the newest addition to his collection of classic flicks. Paying homage to ’80s video games and based on Ernest Cline’s novel of the same name, the film follows gamer Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) through a virtual universe called the OASIS that has infatuated the world. But there’s a catch. The late James Halliday (Mark Rylance), creator of the OASIS, promised the complete control of his company and game to whoever finds an Easter egg that he hid within the seemingly infinite virtual cosmos. With trillions of dollars at stake, the search is on. Through his digital avatar and with the help of his OASIS comrades, Watts must find the clues and keys to the Easter egg before the moneyminded conglomerate I.O.I. does.

Although the plot development is a little rushed at times, the story is suspenseful, engaging, and visually stunning. In Ready Player One, Spielberg does what he does best —makes an engrossing, memorable adventure. (NS)

Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero (85 mins., PG)

This animated biopic tells the story of real-life WWI canine hero Sergeant Stubby, who served 18 months in the 102nd Infantry Regiment and was on the Western Front for 17 battles. Logan Lerman, Helena Bonham Carter, and Gérard Depardieu lend their voice talents.

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF APRIL 19 CANCER

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In the early history of the automobile, electric engines were more popular and common than gasoline-powered engines. They were less noisy, dirty, smelly, and difficult to operate. It’s too bad that thereafter the technology for gasoline cars developed at a faster rate than the technology for electric cars.

By the end of the first decade of the 20th century, the petroleum suckers were in ascendance. They have remained so ever since, playing a significant role in our world’s ongoing environmental degradation. Moral of the story: Sometimes the original idea or the early model or the first try is better. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should consider applying this hypothesis to your current state of affairs.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): The Chesapeake Bay is a fertile estuary that teems with life. It’s 200 miles long and holds 18 trillion gallons of water. More than 150 streams and rivers course into its drainage basin. And yet it’s relatively shallow. If you’re six feet tall, you could wade through over a thousand square miles of its mix of fresh and salt water without getting your hat wet. I see this place as an apt metaphor for your life in the coming weeks: an expanse of flowing fecundity that is vast but not so deep that you’ll get overwhelmed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll soon arrive at a pressurepacked turning point. You’ll stand poised at a pivotal twist of fate where you must trust your intuition to reveal the differences between smart risks and careless gambles. Are you willing to let your half-naked emotions show? Will you have the courage to be brazenly loyal to your deepest values? I won’t wish you luck, because how the story evolves will be fueled solely by your determination, not by accident or happenstance.

You will know you’re in a good position to solve the Big Riddles if they feel both scary and fun.

(June 21-July 22): Strong softness is one of your specialties. So are empathetic rigor, creative responsiveness, and daring acts of nurturing. Now is a perfect time to summon and express all of these qualities with extra flair. If you do, your influence will exceed its normal quotas. Your ability to heal and inspire your favorite people will be at a peak. So I hereby invite you to explore the frontiers of aggressive receptivity. Wield your courage and power with a fierce vulnerability.

Be tenderly sensitive as an antidote to any headstrong lovelessness you encounter.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1973, Pink Floyd released the album The Dark Side of the Moon. Since then, it has been on various Billboard charts for over 1,700 weeks and has sold more than 45 million copies. Judging from the astrological aspects coming to bear on you, Leo, I suspect you could create or produce a beautiful thing with a similar staying power in the next five months. What vitalizing influence would you like to have in your life for at least the next 30 years?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I beg you to take a break sometime soon. Give yourself permission to indulge in a vacation or recess or sabbatical. Wander away on a leave of absence. Explore the mysteries of a siesta blended with a fiesta. If you don’t grant yourself this favor, I may be forced to bark, “Chill out, dammit!” at you until you do. Please don’t misunderstand my intention here. The rest of us appreciate the way you’ve been attending to the complicated details that are too exacting for us. But we can also see that if you don’t ease up, there will soon be diminishing returns. It’s time to return to your studies of relaxing freedom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Singer/songwriter Roy Orbison achieved great success in the 1960s, charting 22 songs on the Billboard Top 40. But his career declined after that. Years later, in 1986, filmmaker David Lynch asked him for the right to use his tune “In Dreams” for the

CAPRICORN movie Blue Velvet. Orbison denied the request, but Lynch incorporated the tune anyway. Surprise! Blue Velvet was nominated for an Academy Award and played a big role in reviving Orbison’s fame. Later the singer came to appreciate not only the career boost but also Lynch’s unusual aesthetic, testifying that the film gave his song an “otherworldly quality that added a whole new dimension.” Now let’s meditate on how this story might serve as a parable for your life. Was there an opportunity that you once turned down but will benefit from anyway? Or is there a current opportunity that maybe you shouldn’t turn down, even if it seems odd?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve been to the Land of No Return and back more than anyone. But soon you’ll be visiting a remote enclave in this realm that you’re not very familiar with. I call it the Mother Lode of Sexy Truth. It’s where tender explorers go when they must transform outworn aspects of their approach to partnership and togetherness. On the eve of your quest, shall we conduct an inventory of your capacity to outgrow your habitual assumptions about relationships? No, let’s not. That sounds too stiff and formal.

Instead, I’ll simply ask you to strip away any falseness that interferes with vivacious and catalytic intimacy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1824, two British explorers climbed a mountain in southwestern Australia. They were hoping to get a sweeping view of Port Phillip Bay, on which the present-day city of Melbourne is located. But when they reached the top, their view was largely obstructed by trees. Out of perverse spite, they decided to call the peak Mount Disappointment, a name it retains to this day. I suspect you may soon have your own personal version of an adventure that falls short of your expectations. I hope — and also predict — that your experience won’t demoralize you but rather will mobilize you to attempt a new experiment that ultimately surpasses your original expectations.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn rock musician Lemmy Kilmister bragged that he swigged a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey every day from 1975 to 2013. While I admire his dedication to inducing altered states of consciousness, I can’t recommend such a strategy for you. But I will love it if you undertake a more disciplined crusade to escape numbing routines and irrelevant habits in the next four weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will have a special knack for this practical art.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Germany was one of the big losers of World War I, which ended in 1918. By accepting the terms of the Versailles Treaty, it agreed to pay reparations equivalent to 96,000 tons of gold. Not until 2010, decades after the war, did Germany finally settle its bill and fulfill its obligation. I’m sure your own big, longrunning debt is nowhere near as big or as long running as that one, Aquarius. But you will nonetheless have reason to be ecstatic when you finally discharge it. And according to my reading of the astrological omens, that could and should happen sometime soon.

(P.S. The “debt” could be emotional or spiritual rather than financial.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “I would rather have a drop of luck than a barrel of brains,” said the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes. Fortunately, that’s not a choice you will have to face in the coming weeks, Pisces.

According to my reading of the cosmic signs, your brain will be working with even greater efficiency and ingenuity than it usually does. Meanwhile, a strongerthan-expected flow of luck will be swirling around in your vicinity. One of your main tasks will be to harness your enhanced intelligence to take shrewd advantage of the good fortune.

Homework: It’s easy to see fanaticism, rigidity, and intolerance in other people, but harder to acknowledge them in yourself. Do you dare?

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: ANTHONY NYMAN ROMASANTA NO: 18PR00136 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of ANTHONY NYMAN ROMASANTA A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: MARK ANDREW ROMASANTA, in the Superior Court of California, county of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that (name): MARK ANDREW ROMASANTA be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 05/03/2018 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

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

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT, AND ANY INFORMATION WE OBTAIN WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. SALE INFORMATION LINE: 800‑280‑2891 or www.auction.com Dated: 03/23/2018 PEAK FORECLOSURE SERVICES, INC., AS TRUSTEE
