You may remember Molly Forster’s name from 2015, when she first interned for our newspaper. The San Clemente–raised UCSB communications major returned this year as part of her minor in professional writing/ editing and single-handedly reported and wrote this week’s massive “Workin’ It” special section on jobs. She’s worked in restaurants since she was 13, but the weirdest gig was at a tapas bar in Newport Beach that turned into a salsa club after midnight. “I was pretty sure their whole operation was illegal, so I lied to them about my age, my Spanish-speaking abilities, and my experience with salsa dancing,” she said. “Needless to say, I didn’t last very long there.”

Endorsements, June 2018 T 24th Congressional District:

Salud Carbajal

In one of those contests — for the 2nd Supervisorial District — candidate Susan Epstein mysteriously dropped out at the last minute, effectively precluding anyone else from challenging the only other candidate, Gregg Hart. Three other county races are uncontested: for district attorney, superintendent of schools, and treasurer-tax collector.

For those who like horse races, there’s the race to elect the councilmember to represent the City of Santa Barbara’s District 3, on the city’s Westside. Four first-time-ever candidates are

PAU L WELLM AN F I LE PHOTOS

his year’s June midterm elections are a case of feast and famine. Statewide, we have no fewer than 32 candidates running for U.S. Senate — one is inveighing against “the social sickness of transgenderism” and another against microwave poisoning — and 27 are running for governor. Yet here in Santa Barbara County, we have two supervisorial district races with uncontested candidates. The last time Santa Barbara saw two uncontested supervisorial races was precisely never.

This one’s a certified no-brainer. Even if Salud Carbajal merely showed up for the TV cameras and waved his rhetorical flag in support of Obamacare, immigrant rights, and the region’s sacrosanct ban on new offshore oil development, that would have been reason enough to send this first-term Democrat back to Washington, D.C. On such matters, Carbajal’s values are in lockstep with those of his district, which encompasses Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties with a small part of Ventura. But there’s more here than giving voice to California’s ongoing revolt against all things Trump.

As of January 9, the deck chairs of our regional Titanic have been fundamentally rearranged. How we dig out and rebuild in the wake of the Thomas Fire and its subsequent debris flow are profound questions we will be asking ourselves for years to come. Federal assistance will play a critical role, as will new federal flood maps. That Carbajal spent 12 years as a county supervisor makes him the ideal member of Congress to both access and direct federal assistance. For Carbajal, county government is not a flow chart he needs to learn and master. He already knows it. He’s lived it.

He’s breathed it. He knows the key players in every department by name. He knows their second and third in command. Such knowledge at this time in Santa Barbara’s history is priceless.

Carbajal is facing two Republican opponents. According to federal election rules, that automatically means there will be a November runoff. In all likelihood, Carbajal will face Republican Justin Fareed, now waging his third bid for office. Fareed is no longer bombarding the airwaves with clips of his athletic prowess, running the football or riding a horse — as he has in campaigns past — but he is doing nothing to explain what qualifies him for office. It’s a mystery. We urge you to vote for Salud Carbajal.

U.S. Senate:

Dianne Feinstein By any reckoning Dianne Feinstein qualifies as the political equivalent of an 8,000-pound gorilla.

Given the relationship between California and the administration of Donald Trump — war without the bullets — California desperately needs an 8,000pound gorilla in Washington, D.C. True, her rhetoric is as measured and careful as her votes. But Feinstein has been in the Senate since 1992, whereupon she beat out Santa Barbara’s then-resident carpetbaggerin-chief Michael Huffington for the seat in 1994. The issue then — as it is now — was immigration. She was on the right side then; she still is today. On gun control, Feinstein has the distinction of writing the only automatic-weapons ban this nation has ever passed. Absurdly, it has since been allowed to expire. Who knows how many mass shooting murder victims would still be alive if that were not the case. In her 26 years in D.C., Feinstein has achieved very senior leadership positions on several key committees — appropriations and judiciary, to name just two. More than that, there are the personal relationships she has cultivated in that time. Her reach, influence, and impact cannot be overstated.Yes, we’ve disagreed with some of her votes, some — like her support of the war waged on Iraq — very strongly. Feinstein’s chief Democratic rival, Kevin de León, has amassed an impressive record in the State Legislature on such critical issues as immigrant rights, the minimum wage, and climate change. But to walk away from Feinstein now, at this historical moment, would constitute an act of political self-mutilation.

running there, where voter turnout has been historically low.A candidate who can muster 450 votes might well win. Given that this councilmember will tip the council’s precarious balance of power, that constitutes a significant impact for only a few votes.

The Santa Barbara Independent does not always endorse in every race. In some cases, we don’t feel strongly enough to suggest a vote; in others, we are not confident we know enough about the candidate or issue. This year we will be publishing our endorsements over a two-week period.

California Governor:

Gavin Newsom Let’s start by lamenting the obvious. After eight years of relative sanity and success, California won’t have Jerry Brown in the statehouse anymore. Brown managed to exert a degree of control, restraint, and discipline on the Legislature that none of his immediate predecessors had ever approximated. He got day-to-day things done while pursuing expansive, big-picture solutions to such global existential threats as climate change. We didn’t agree with him on everything. But when it comes to vision and pragmatism, Brown will be sorely missed. In this context, none of the contenders running to fill his shoes comes close. That being said, we’re throwing our lot behind Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, acknowledging up-front his lessthan-seemly personal history. Newsom may be slick and ambitious, but on big-deal historical issues, he’s moved the needle. It was Newsom, as mayor of San Francisco, who first recognized and allowed gay marriage. That took courage and vision. Newsom also was part of the vanguard pushing a package of gun control bills as a state initiative two years ago. On cannabis legalization, Newsom was there, again fighting for it long before it, too, became sanitized and inevitable.

City of Santa Barbara District 3:

Oscar Gutierrez

The four candidates running to represent District 3 on the Santa Barbara City Council embody all that’s good about district elections and all that’s not so good, too. Let’s start with the most obvious: diversity. Of the four candidates running, three are Latinos. The fourth is a 22-year-old woman. That’s good. But all are exceptionally green. None of the candidates has run for any kind of office. Only one has ever served on a governmental board or commission. That’s not so good. All, however, are hyper-focused on serving the neighborhood.

That’s good. But all have a lot to learn.

We’ve been impressed and troubled in different ways by each of the four. On balance, the candidate we think can and will represent District 3 best is Oscar Gutierrez. Gutierrez has lived on the Westside his entire life. At age 34, that gives him an edge. The son of Mexican immigrants, Gutierrez attended Harding, La Cumbre Junior High, San Marcos High School, City College, and UCSB. While attending City College, Gutierrez began covering local news as a videographer, and after graduation he put his community news chops to work at Santa Barbara’s public access television station, where he helped produce countless public affairs shows. Gutierrez developed a keen understanding of how the city operates and who makes up the human infrastructure.

Physically large, soft-spoken, and quietly shrewd, Gutierrez exudes an easygoing decency combined with an innate common sense that we’re confident will serve him and the council CONT’D ON PAGE 11 

Gutierrez has been endorsed and strongly backed by the Democratic Central Committee and Mayor Cathy Murillo, who donated $5,000 to his campaign. Gutierrez will have to tread carefully not to fall into the personality dysfunction that now plagues a council already too cliquish for its own good.

cont’d from p. 9 since moving here, not once. That gives us pause. Ken Rivas has a prodigious record of in-the-weeds community involvement, though much of it has been on the Eastside.

Given that, we’re struck by his lack of endorsements. Elizabeth Hunter, 22, has demonstrated an impressive intelligence and poise at community forums, but the difficulty reporters experienced making contact — coupled with her already-busy school schedule — makes us doubt she has the time the job requires. We hope all three will maintain their involvement in district issues.

Measure T, Cannabis Tax:

YES There’s simply no good reason not to vote yes on this. Even people who oppose the legalization of cannabis should vote for this. We don’t know exactly how much the taxation of cannabis sale, cultivation, manufacture, testing, and distribution authorized by Measure T will generate, but it will be considerable. Official estimates range in size from $6.7 million to $29.6 million. However much it is, the new regulatory regime — one of the most stringent and all-encompassing imposed on any industry — will require growers to track and trace every plant grown from seeds to smoke. For users, this means they will now know — for the first time — the quantified potency of the pot as well as the extent to which pesticides have infused the product they’re consuming. Given the growing popularity of cannabis oils — in which pesticide residues concentrate — this is a significant public-health improvement.

For the past 90 years, the U.S. government and all 50 states have waged an intractably stupid and destructive war against marijuana. The toll in needless human suffering has been incalculable, as has the strain pot laws have imposed on the nation’s criminal justice system. While we think pot tends to make people more boring than they otherwise would be, the same could be said for any number of mood-altering substances currently allowed, not the least of which is alcohol. California voters were right to legalize recreational weed a year ago; the Santa Barbara County supervisors were right to pass an ordinance customized to the specific needs of county growers, retailers, and communities affected by the burgeoning, not-so-new industry. Central to all this is the ability to tax. The revenues generated are key to enforcing commonsense guidelines designed to protect communities, like Carpinteria, from the pungent intrusions caused by large-scale grow operations. Measure T may not be the panacea some of its supporters claim, but it constitutes one small step toward sanity.

Measure R, Isla Vista Community Services District Tax:

YES

Two years ago, Isla Vista voters approved the creation of a new community services district to provide that community — reputedly the most densely populated this side of the Mississippi River — a desperately needed glimmer of a hope of a dream of self-government. If passed, Measure R would create a steady, reliable revenue stream without which that dream will soon be dead. The latest estimates suggest Measure R — which imposes a surcharge on utility fees — will generate slightly more than $700,000 year. By governmental standards, that barely qualifies as chump change. But for Isla Vista, it’s a solid start.

Those funds will be used to augment public-safety services especially needed during periods of weekend rowdiness. In addition, it will underwrite landlord-tenant mediation services. And it creates a reliable funding base for the new service district, created to give Isla Vista — long the bastard stepchild of UCSB — some institutional expression of self-determination. Measure R advocates say the new utility user fees will cost the average Isla Vista resident $2-$4 a month. That’s about what it costs, they say, to buy a single yerba maté. According to the opponents, it will be much more, about the price of two yerba matés. Even at the price of three yerba matés, it will be well worth it.

The history of Isla Vista demonstrates there’s little benign about benign neglect. n

SHERIFF BILL BROWN. A STEADY, PROVEN LEADER SUPPORTED ACROSS PARTY LINES. BOTH DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS ENDORSE HIM Sheriff Bill Brown has served for more than 11 years with strength, compassion and distinction.

He rigorously advocates for legislation to enhance public safety, support law enforcement and help the vulnerable, the devastated and the victims in our community.

Being a sheriff today requires a chief executive who knows the job inside out. Who knows how to prepare, how to enforce, and how to collaborate.

HE HAS A STRONG TRACK RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS Sheriff Bill Brown skillfully spearheaded the North County jail project, obtaining $80 million in state funding. Since taking office he has improved transparency, crime fighting and prevention, gang and narcotic enforcement, offender re-entry, and he returned the D.A.R.E. program to our schools. All of this was achieved while leading the Sheriff’s Office through the toughest financial challenges in its history.

WHEN TRAGEDY STRIKES HE PULLS OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER The devastating Thomas Fire and tragic Montecito mudslides called on the resources of every branch of our public services. Sheriff Brown’s office issued evacuation orders and worked around the clock to alert and help the community. In the aftermath, Sheriff Brown and his team organized air and vehicle rescues, conducted recovery operations, arranged for counselors, and provided the community with ongoing updates. His team of over 700 worked tirelessly to ensure that no effort was overlooked in this process.

UC Santa Barbara Joins Three-Day Strike

At 4 a.m. on Monday, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union workers (pictured left) gathered with students at the University of California, Santa Barbara’s Storke Tower to begin a three-day strike against the university. They are one of the 10 UC campuses participating in the strike.

AFSCME Local 3299 is the UC’s largest employee union, representing 25,000 employees. The workers voted to authorize a strike with 97 percent support after new research revealed growing income disparities among unionized low-wage workers and people of color. The research uncovered wage differences as large as 23 percent between black women and white men. The union has been attempting to address the inequalities through a year of negotiations with the UC. However, last week, the UC announced new contract terms that would delay the retirement age, permit the UC to raise health-care premiums, continue outsourcing jobs, and leave employee wages below the cost of living. “The UC has made it clear they would much rather continue to ignore [the growing inequality],” the AFSCME wrote in a statement.

At noon, students and workers marched through campus, chanting, “If we don’t get it, shut it down.” “Without us [the university] doesn’t function,” said Fermin Martinez, one of the two irrigation workers at UCSB. Given the campus size, the university should employ closer to 10 irrigation workers. Since the strike, Martinez reports seeing superintendents picking up trash and receiving calls about the toilets. “Just give us what we deserve; that’s all we’re asking,” he said.

Francisco Garcia, a union member and custodian with UCSB for 22 years, was also at the rally. He cleans an average of 30,000 square feet a night, he explained.

“You’d think it’d be enough,” he said, “but the university doesn’t pay us enough.”

Many of Garcia’s coworkers work two or three jobs or are forced to move out of the city in search of cheaper housing. But the strike is bigger than low wages, he said.

“We want to concentrate on more than a percentage or raise. It’s about dignity.”

14-Year-Old Faces Felony Charges

by Keith Hamm t least one San Marcos High School boy connected to an online video describing how to kill female fellow students with a rifle and bayonet is facing multiple felonies, according to parents closely connected to the incident. The 90-second mock instructional video—which features a young male wielding a colonial-era musket as a weapon against “thots,” an acronym for “that ho over there”—was accompanied by a chat-room list of “thots that need to be eradicated,” naming at least 16 female students at San Marcos, Dos Pueblos, and Santa Barbara high schools and a 12-year-old at La Colina Junior High. Due to privacy laws protecting minors, details remain elusive; parents attempting to follow the case could not say with certainty whether the boy in the video or one of his chat-room friends is the one now facing felony charges. “I can’t comment on an alleged juvenile case,” said Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley.

Soon after the chat-room video and hit list came to light on January 19, San Marcos parent Ericka Dixon helped establish Santa Barbara Parents for High School Safety, which now has close to 100 members, representing elementary, junior high, and high school grade levels. Early on, the parent group composed a timeline of the video incident and the responses of school and district administrators.

In an unrelated incident on February 23 at Carpinteria Middle School, an unarmed 13-year-old boy made criminal threats, saying he was going to shoot up the school; he was arrested that same day and booked into Santa Maria Juvenile Hall. After attempts to reach Sheriff Bill Brown and two Public Information Officers for an explanation of why seemingly similar threats were handled differently, public information officer Kelly Hoover sent an email stating, “The Sheriff ’s Office conducted a comprehensive investigation and forwarded the case to the DA’s Office.

The evening of 5/4, the 805 UndocuFund, Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), and Mixteco/Indígena Community Organizing Project (MICOP) held their UndocuFund Dance fundraiser downtown. The groups set out to raise $8,000 to help the 1,400 families who lost property, wages, or employment because of the Thomas Fire and Montecito mudslide. Around 200 people attended the event, which also received donations from Radio Bronco and Mayo’s Carniceria & Tacos.

HEALTH County health officials have concluded that the Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flow were not tied to the number of valley fever cases reported during that time. County officials stated valley fever cases have been increasing markedly since January 2016, but that’s been true, they said, throughout the state. The peak, they said, took place in October and November 2017; the Thomas Fire broke out in December. Of the 56 valley fever cases reported during the fire and flood events, none were firefighters and only one was a first responder. Of the 56 cases, 47 involved North County residents and only four lived in southern Santa Barbara County. Valley fever typically mimics flu symptoms and is caused when individuals breathe in the dust of soil laden with certain bacterial n spores.

Greenlighting Granny Flats Owner Occupancy Required; Banned in Extreme-Fire-Risk Zones

by Nick Welsh n as dramatic a nail-biter as Santa Barbara City Hall has seen in many years, the City Council voted to approve a new ordinance that will allow homeowners to build detached second units, popularly known as “granny flats,” in backyards everywhere throughout the city except in areas deemed extreme-fire-hazard zones. The ordinance needed a five-vote supermajority to pass, and with only five councilmembers on hand to vote — Councilmember Kristen Sneddon was forced to recuse herself due to a conflict of interest — there was no margin for error.

In the end, the ordinance was defined by multiple compromises. Had the council not approved an ordinance of its own, Santa Barbara would have been bound instead by a state law passed last year designed to promote the development of new hous-

Cars trying to evacuate from Mission Canyon were backed up for seven-tenths of a mile. “There will be more fires in the future,” she warned. Many residents from the Eucalyptus Hill neighborhood reminded councilmembers that their streets are so narrow that trash trucks and mail carriers have a hard time navigating them. What happens when there’s a fire and residents rush out just as fire trucks are rushing in? they asked.

City Fire Marshal Joe Poire made it clear the department did not want to adjudicate messy land-use matters and lacked the resources to make subjective evaluations. First responders, he assured council-

ing by preventing local governments from restricting permitting for what are technically known as accessory dwelling units, or ADUs for short. What the council passed on Tuesday was far less restrictive than what city planners had first proposed. Those initial proposals had been beaten back over time by pro-housing advocates and architects—many of whom showed up wearing “Keep It Simple” stickers — who had waged a relentless campaign on behalf of the farreaching new ordinance.

Architect Alex Pujo channeled his inner Winston Churchill while quoting former Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver’s adage, “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.” When it came to the issue of housing — which he framed as a basic human right—Pujo thundered, “There are no innocent bystanders.” In his left hand, he held aloft a single sheath of paper, representing the sole ADU application submitted to City Hall in the 23 years prior to the enactment of the new state law.

In his right hand, he flapped in the air more than 300 pages, representing the number of applications that have been submitted since January 2017. When councilmembers looked back on their vote, Pujo declared, “They may not say it was their best work, but indeed it was their finest hour.”

Even more theatrical, however, were opponents, including former mayor and current planning commissioner Sheila Lodge, who held up a fist-sized wad of molten glass. “Glass melts at 2,552 degrees,”

members in previous meetings, could get where they needed to go. One Eucalyptus Hill resident charged that with Sneddon’s recusal, the neighborhood had been denied representation on an issue that affected it the most. District elections, she noted with bitter irony, were supposed to do just the opposite.

Of the 345 ADU applications submitted thus far, 113 lie within high-fire-risk zones.

Councilmember Sneddon had hoped to argue in favor of stricter restrictions in such zones; she lives in one and represents a district largely located in one. Sneddon, however, was not allowed to participate after City Attorney Ariel Calonne advised that she — as a homeowner in the highfire-risk zone—had a conflict of interest.

Sneddon said she would check with the Fair Political Practices Commission on Calonne’s unprecedented action. ADUs were allowed in high-fire-risk zones but banned in extreme-risk zones.

Under the ordinance, there’s no requirement that ADUs provide additional parking. New residents, coupled with their cars, critics argued, meant more on-street parking. The other major concern was over land speculators who might be inclined to buy up properties, convert them into duplexes, and then seek to make fast buck by flipping them. The council voted to impose a covenant restriction requiring that at least one of the units be owner occupied; this restriction would convey with the sale of the property.

Rebuilding at Ground Zero After Losing Everything, Montecito Property Owner Eager to Come Home, Despite Risks

M

ary Beth Myers wanted to spend the night of January 8 at her old cottage on the banks of Montecito Creek, just below the bridge at East Valley Road and Parra Grande Lane—but she couldn’t get a fire going in the chimney.

“I loved being there in the rains, feeding the fire and listening to the boulders roll down the creek,” Myers said. “I tried all day to get the fire started with alcohol, dried wood, crumpled paper—but I couldn’t. It was cold, dark, and wet, so I left the cat a couple of bowls of food, and I thought, ‘No way will I stay.’ It was some kind of divine intervention.

“There’s not a trace where my house was … nothing, nothing, nothing.”

Before dawn on January 9, a catastrophic debris flow of mud and boulders swept through Myers’s neighborhood in the 1200 block of East Valley Road, formerly part of a historic pocket of Montecito known as Old Spanish Town. Eleven people died there, or nearly half of all those who perished in the disaster. Of the 11, nine had lived next door to Myers. Five were immigrants from Mexico and Thailand.

“They were all hardworking, very busy people,” Myers said. “This was not the Montecito people think of. It was like a village in itself. I miss my neighbors.”

But even as she mourns them, Myers is eager to return to the once-picturesque sycamore and oak woodland along the creek. She is asking the county to approve her plans for a two-story, corrugated steel house on nine concrete caissons sunk deep into the ground where her cottage once stood. The cottage, parts of which dated back to the 1890s, was uninsured.

“My friends say, ‘You can’t possibly think about rebuilding there,’” Myers said. “But what I loved is it was literally nature. I had

this whole creek. The view was magical—an untouched acre of California, a borrowed landscape.”

“Is it buildable? Yes, in theory,” Myers said. On Zillow, the online real estate marketplace, her property was valued before January 9 at $1.8 million. “Feels like countryside living,” the advertisement read.

“I’m just pushing to build so that if it’s a buildable lot, then I’ll get my money out,” Myers said. “If I can build, I probably will build. Would I feel safe living there? Hard to say. If the weather’s bad enough, I’m just going to leave.”

FIRST IN LINE Myers is one of the first in line with her rebuilding plans, out of more than 200 property owners whose homes were destroyed on January 9 or remain badly damaged. Her property has been under county review since 2014, when she bought the 3,400-squarefoot parcel by the creek and set out to prove that the lot was legal.

Now Myers’s plans are raising the key questions that all parties will face, if the community is to withstand the next flood or debris flow: How, when, and where is it safe to rebuild? Should some land be preserved as a memorial park to remember the dead or, for safety’s sake, as watershed open space? (There's a Facebook page for a future “Montecito Memorial Healing & Meditation Park,” but the group has not made any formal proposals.)

In June last year, the Montecito Planning Commission approved Myers’s request for a waiver from county rules that require new homes to be set back at least 50 feet from the bank of a creek. The lot was so small that strict application of the 50-foot rule would have “effectively precluded” any development there, the commission found. Myers CONT’D ON PAGE 17 

Meanwhile, one parent, whose daughter was targeted and ridiculed on the chat-room list, set out “to make sure my daughter and the other girls were able to feel safe again,” she said, wishing to remain anonymous. “I wanted the school and the district to be more proactive, but they weren’t. I wanted these boys out of there for good.” Pressing school and law-enforcement officials for details on the punishments and whereabouts of the chat-room boys, she made little headway. Only after hiring a private investigator, she said, did she learn that some of the boys who had been removed from campus had resumed private online chats about school shootings and were playing a video game recreating the Columbine High School massacre. Late last month, she decided that her daughter would not attend San Marcos High School next year.

Another mother has already transferred her daughter — also named on the hit list — away from San Marcos. She said the chat-room incident traumatized her daughter. She’s come home after school in tears. Her hair started falling out. She lost a lot of sleep. And in each of her classes, she’d plan where she could run or hide if San Marcos suddenly became the site of yet another national tragedy.

Dixon suggested that authorities might consider more focused monitoring of the juvenile offenders. “It’s not our place [as a parent group] to advocate for them to be placed in custody,” she said. “But we’re certainly suggesting that intervention would be beneficial. Who’s helping manage their situations? They need support.”

“We’re concerned about student and community safety,” she added. “Are the named victims safe? Because of privacy concerns, we don’t know.” Based on student observations and parent talk, it’s believed that three of the chat-room boys who participated at a lesser level have returned to school; two have moved away; and two, including the one now in court, have been expelled.

Outgoing San Marcos Principal Ed Behrens did not respond to calls and emails for comment. District Superintendent Cary Matsuoka said he could not comment on the boys’ disciplinary outcomes. “I’ve been on campus a lot during the past couple of months,” he added. “Things have calmed down. We’re not seeing a mass exodus of kids. In fact, enrollment at San Marcos is up for next year.”

Partnering with the parent group, the district’s newly formed Task Force on School Climate and Safety will hold a community forum at 7 p.m. on May 16 at La Colina Junior High. n

#MeToo Hits SBCC Guest Lecturer Fires Back Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

I

tion from Wallace and a public apology from Napoleon by 6 p.m. the next day or he would take personal legal action against them. His demands were echoed by Professor McIntire, who said while Napoleon had tried to cancel the colloquium, “She succeeded only in fingering herself as a calumniator of the very worst stamp.” Shermer concluded his message with a “final warning” to Napoleon that he would file a restraining order against her if she continued “her defamaDr. Raeanne Napoleon tory actions going forward by following me around this small community where I live and work and play with my young son.”

The 6 p.m. deadline came and went without Napoleon apologizing or The Channels capitulating. On March 26, in the middle of SBCC’s spring break, Napoleon and The Channels received cease-and-desist letters from Shermer’s Los Angeles attorney. They got a second round of letters on April 4. Napoleon retained her own lawyer after her teachers’ union declined to represent her, and a number of colleagues rallied to her side, creating a GoFundMe page to cover her legal fees. It raised more than $8,000 in a matter of days. Wallace and The Channels consulted with SBCC attorney Joe Sholder, who assured them the article wasn’t libelous. But even if it was, Sholder said, the paper and Wallace were on their own — The Channels’ content is the legal liability of the student education board, not the college.

A week later, Shermer announced he was dropping his lawsuit. “Although we have an excellent case that I was defamed, it is not worth the time and cost pursuing legal recourse for what is (hopefully) an inconsequential incident,” he wrote in another campuswide email. Napoleon’s attorney, Melissa Fassett, said Shermer never had a case. For him to prove defamation, he’d have to show that Napoleon’s statements about him were known to be untrue or were made with intentional malice.

“Dr. Napoleon had simply voiced concerns about reports accusing Dr. Shermer of misconduct, which had been covered by the press,” Fassett said. “It should be remembered that the First Amendment right to free speech is protected, even if one disagrees with what is said.” Patricia Stark, faculty advisor to The Channels, called the episode a hard-learned lesson for 18- and 19-yearold journalism students. “They stuck to their convictions throughout the ordeal,” she said. “I’m immensely proud of them.”

The author of the Buzzfeed article — Mark Oppenheimer, a regular contributor to the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times — remains fully confident in the accuracy of his reporting. Before it was published, Oppenheimer said, the piece was closely fact-checked, then read and approved by the company attorney. “As you know, we had several women on the record talking about Shermer’s behavior,” GAGE SK I DMOR E

by Tyler Hayden n the midst of the national #MeToo movement, Santa Barbara City College is grappling with its own crisis of conduct and disclosure after a tenured chemistry professor publicly aired sexual assault allegations against an acclaimed science writer ahead of his scheduled guest lecture on campus. The disclosure triggered legal threats against staff and students and prompted continuing debate around free-speech protections and the rights of the accused.

On the morning of March 19, Professor Raeanne Napoleon sent a campus-wide email that described the evening’s Faculty Colloquium speaker — Dr. Michael Shermer, a monthly columnist for Scientific American and adjunct professor at Chapman University — as “someone who has been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault (rape) by multiple women.” She linked to a 2014 Buzzfeed article that names and quotes three women who claim to have been victimized by Shermer. “I think it’s important that we understand who tonight’s speaker is,” Napoleon wrote, “so that you can choose whether or not you will support this event.”

The email prompted an immediate flurry of response from faculty and staff. “People with a known history of predatory behavior should absolutely not be invited to speak on college campuses,” wrote student advisor Chelsea Lancaster. “What happened to the principal [sic] of presumption of innocence?” asked Professor Peter Naylor. “[D]on’t contribute to the deluge of misinformation and hate-speech that is destroying our public discourse.” SBCC’s student newspaper, The Channels, published an article that afternoon describing the email exchanges and a decision by event organizers to allow Shermer’s talk on metaphysics and the afterlife to proceed.

The following day, March 20, Shermer issued his own all-campus email through colloquium organizer Professor Mark McIntire. In 10 blistering paragraphs of rebuttal, Shermer called the allegations against him “disgusting, repulsive” lies, and he accused Napoleon of libel and defamation for perpetuating them. “Dr. Napoleon doesn’t know me and doesn’t know anything about me,” he wrote. “And yet she feels no compunction whatsoever to publicly hurl such calumnies against me in an act of wonton irre- Dr. Michael Shermer sponsibility.” (Shermer’s full response to the Buzzfeed feature is included in a version of this article at independent.com. He states one of the three reported encounters was consensual and the other two were misconstrued.)

Shermer said it was only last fall that “a moral crusader of Dr. Napoleon’s ilk” notified Chapman University of the Buzzfeed article, and that the college “dismissed” the accusations against him as “unwarranted.” So, too, have his other employers, he said. Shermer admonished the student writer of The Channels article, Daniel Wallace, for not contacting him so he could personally refute the charges. “Any journalist worthy of the name would have called or emailed to ask for a response before publishing a hit piece like this,” he said.

Shermer claimed he could prove damages in lost book sales the night of his lecture. He promised Napoleon and Wallace: “You will pay for it.” Shermer demanded a retrac-

he said. “Given women’s understandable reluctance to be named in stories like this, it’s unusual to have multiple onthe-record sources, and yet we did.” Oppenheimer said Shermer sent him a long email after the story was published that described the pain it had caused him. They spoke on the phone as well. “He insisted that the women lied, and I insisted that I stood by my story,” said Oppenheimer. “I still do.”

In an email exchange with the Santa Barbara Independent, Shermer said the entire SBCC issue hinged on a statement made in Napoleon’s email and repeated in Wallace’s article that claimed “police did not bring formal charges against him.” Shermer said law enforcement never investigated the purported incidents. “What police? Where?

When?” he asked. “Never in my life have I been investigated by the police — or any law enforcement agency — for anything anytime anywhere.”

Shermer said because Napoleon and Wallace refused repeated requests to retract the statement, his only recourse was through the courts. “The reason I had to draw a line in the sand about this falsehood,” he said, “is because over the many years I have seen these claims grow in falsehoods; e.g., ‘alleged rapist’ became ‘known rapist’ became ‘convicted rapist.’ Convicted!”

Though the ordeal left Napoleon badly shaken, with lingering concerns that she was not adequately supported

by SBCC administration, she doesn’t regret sending that March 19 email. “In my mind, in 2018, you call this stuff out,” she said. “I don’t think what I did was that brave or out of the ordinary.” If nothing else, she went on, “I just want people to know how this guy operates.” Napoleon recently filed a workplace harassment complaint against McIntire after he continued to criticize her on his public Facebook page and in conversations with students. A student group calling itself STAND formed in response to what it views as the college’s failure to protect Napoleon and The Channels and its enabling silence around the Shermer allegations.

Multiple faculty members have voiced similar concerns in departmental and Board of Trustee meetings.

When asked about the Shermer affair and Napoleon’s pending complaint against McIntire, SBCC spokesperson Luz Reyes-Martin said the campus is committed to maintaining a climate free of harassment and has a process in place for investigating any grievances. But “[d]ue to confidentiality standards and ongoing investigations,” she said, “SBCC cannot comment on the specifics of any individual report. However, we can assert that we take these reports very seriously and are diligently following our processes and evaluating all options available to address them.” The college is also now reevaluating the rules around its all-campus email system. n

CURMUDGEON RAMPAGE: When John Perlin is wielding a shovel, you don’t want to get

anywhere between him and the hole. Perlin, now in the foothills of his early seventies, is not your run-of-the-mill big-brain autodidact.

Back in the early 1980s, Perlin synthesized and distilled 5,000 years of human history into one single tome, A Forest Journey, which examined the rise and fall of human civilizations based on their exploitation of timber and forests. It got Perlin on Harvard’s top 100 books.

He’s also published two of the most definitive histories of solar energy ever written. Not bad for a cranky, bite-the-hand-that-feeds-you curmudgeon who knows firsthand what it’s like to live under a camper shell in someone else’s Isla Vista backyard.

Before long, Perlin found himself sharing the stage at international symposia with ExxonMobil execs, schooling them on the last days of fossil fuels with his customary John the Baptist bluntness. Along the way, Perlin —now recovering from a mountain bike accident that crushed an ankle—palled around town with the late Walter Kohn, UCSB’s Nobel Prize–winning physicist; together, the two of them could out-filibuster the entire U.S. Senate. Upon their advance, bus drivers, barbers, and other captive audiences fled for their lives.

And with good cause.

In stark contrast to his previous work, Perlin’s latest effort — the life and times of Eunice Foote — is almost a historical miniature,

Black Dog Blues

requiring only three years of John’s doggedly obsessive—or as he puts it, “crazy John Perlin” —research. Foote is easily one of the great, untold stories of both American science and feminism, and until the last few years,

she barely rated a footnote in most scholarly journals. No explanation is needed; she was a woman.

If Perlin has anything to say on the subject, Foote will soon get her rightful due as the first scientist to define the link between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming.

More remarkably, she did so more than 160 years ago— back in 1856— at a time when women were barred from almost all institutes of scientific learning. Next Thursday afternoon, Perlin will share the stage at UCSB’s McCune Conference Room with a gathering of accomplished science types—including Al Gore’s daughter Sarah Maiani —to discuss Foote’s life. Having received an inspired telephonic preview this week, I wish them luck.

Perlin’s enthusiasm is intoxicating.

Perlin’s research illustrates how history is way too interesting to be left to historians.

Foote, it turns out, was not just an accomplished scientist but an important player in the early women’s movement. Foote grew up in upstate New York, then the last stop on the Underground Railroad taking runaway slaves to Canada and freedom. This was the epicenter for insurrectionists of all stripes: abolitionists, feminists, mystics, and teetotalers. It’s where “bloomers” were

popularized as practical clothes for women in defiance of corsets and other fashion accessories designed to hobble and enshackle their wearers. In 1848, Foote would sign the Magna Carta of the women’s movement, the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments. She was one of just five signatories who got the declaration published. By whom? By famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who just happened to run a printing press down the road. Foote lived next door to pioneering feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton; Foote’s husband, Elisha Foote, it turned out, learned his law from Cady Stanton’s father. Foote’s son-in-law would later introduce the constitutional amendment banning slavery. It was that kind of space.

Before that, Foote attended Troy Female Seminary, whose students were invited to attend a nearby science college started by a character named Amos Eaton. He was a convicted con man who’d been sentenced to life in prison, but was released after four years so he could pursue his life calling as an evangelist of scientific education. Apparently he hadn’t been told women couldn’t be scientists, so Foote was able to learn the nuts and bolts of chemistry and experimental techniques at his school.

Back then, scientists were keenly interested in atmospheric conditions that may have sparked the earth’s transformation from what scientists call “the age of fish” into “the age of plants” and the massive die-off of species that attended this shift. Foote was not the

first to ponder the role played by changing temperatures. She was the first, however, to isolate the component gases that make up the atmosphere, thus discovering which one got the hottest in sunlight. It was, she found, carbon dioxide. The punch line, of course, is that she proved that the more CO2 that’s pumped into the atmosphere, the hotter it gets.

Foote’s work was presented to a national gathering of American scientists in New York City in 1856. She, being a woman, was not allowed to read it herself. A male surrogate had to read it in her place. Three weeks later, her work won a short but enthusiastic review in the pages of Scientific American. It also got posted in the pages of the American Journal of Science, edited by John Tyndall. Three years later, Tyndall would publish an article of his own about atmospheric heating and carbon dioxide. Tyndall would boast his work was utterly original and unprecedented. But passages of Tyndall’s article, Perlin charged, were lifted verbatim from Foote’s paper. “It was a crime of science,” Perlin contended.

“Tyndall claimed no one had done this work before. He was a great omitter. In fact, it turns out, he was a serial omitter.”

What relevance this has today, when climate change and women’s rights remain excruciatingly front and center, I’ll leave it to you to determine. Certain echoes, however, are impossible to ignore. Having John Perlin on the phone sure helps remind us.

Grand Old Nazi State Republicans Fear Avowed Anti-Semite Might Carry Party Label in Senate Race

T

here was at least one thing that delegates to last weekend’s California Republican Party convention agreed upon: Endorsing a neo-Nazi as their guy to defeat Senator Dianne Feinstein is a bad idea.

So it was that GOP officials would not allow Republican candidate Patrick Little, an anti-Semitic white nationalist who placed second behind DiFi in a recent statewide poll, to register for the San Diego confab, evicting him from Patrick Little the premises as he stomped and dragged an Israeli flag behind him.

Helen Roos Walker

Something tells us that you are, you lovely woman, you daughter of selflessness.

You will be missed, thought of, remembered, and honored in our thoughts and in our hearts for the rest of our lives. For all the people and lives you've touched, thank you for your remarkable and special quality that you brought. The world is not as sweet a place without you here in it.

09/15/43-03/15/18

Sweet Helen was born in Chicago and grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania. Raised by beloved parents and two sisters, Helen spent cherished summers of her youth at beautiful Lake George in upstate New York. She came out west to attend college and graduated from USC. She became a devoted wife to two husbands and had one son each from these two marriages.

Helen loved the arts, theater, music and film and was inspired by all that is beautiful and creative.

Ever kind, compassionate, loving and gentle Helen was a true blessing to those who knew her and to the many lives that she touched. Her cheer and happiness was elevating and edifying to be near to. She had a great sense of humor and a large, booming laugh that made times a true joy for those around her.

Helen was a very talented crochet artist and cook. She was truly outstanding and had a special touch in creating a dinner or holiday party in her homes in both Los Angeles and Santa Ynez. She loved spending time with animals and the cats and dogs and horses throughout her life were always attracted to her and wanted to be close to her special loving energy.

Helen's sense of caring and generosity extended to many areas including environmental issues, animal welfare, the injured, the war-injured, the underprivileged and anyone she knew who ever took a hard blow in life. Her caring, thoughtfulness, and kind actions for others built up over a lifetime is truly extraordinary.

Helen both endured and overcame disappointing or unfortunate events in her life with remarkable fortitude and grace.

To know this and to see this in her life was to love her and also be encouraged inside oneself.

To say that Helen was a sweet person, a loving person, and a truly good person cannot be overstated enough.

We are shocked, crushed, and saddened by your departure. We hope you are doing freely and peacefully in your spirit's home.

Remembrance of a Life Well Lived A kind, generous, intellectual man, Jacques (born Quebec, Canada) adored and valued his enormous family and many friends.

He loved humor and laughter and leaves behind a legacy of jokes for all who knew him. He was not only a man of science (B.S-Mechanical Eng., M.S Chemical Eng., and Ph.D in Physics and Mining) but also a noteworthy entrepreneur.

He launched and built a successful company, Dynasen Inc. in 1972-present. Jacques was a boater, scuba diver, ocean enthusiast and protector (he helped to establish the S.B. Mariculture Foundation in 1975). His greatest passion was time with family and friends on his boat(s), the Getaway (I-IV), crossing to the Channel Islands (Santa Cruz), and enjoying the pristine surroundings. This was usually followed by a fun meal at the Yacht Club, Pepes, or Petrini’s, recounting island tales with family and friends. Jacques will be greatly missed by his immediate family; son Michel (Patty), grandchildren Christopher and Kelly, daughter Paula (Martin Lilly), granddaughter Jordyn, daughter Anne, and son Pierre, grandsons Nate, Tanner, and Samuel. We were honored to call him dad and grandpa. He will also be missed by many friends and loved ones who were part of his extended family.

Jacques had many blessing in his 87 years, and he would tell you that two of his greatest blessings were the two loves in his life, Denyse R Charest (who preceded him in death in 2004) and Kay Utterback who was dads ‘brightest light’ until

Gary (79) passed away at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital due to complications of an aortic dissection. Patricia Villarreal-Seyle, his loving wife of 33 years, was as always by his side.

His lifelong love of the outdoors included surfing, kayaking, hiking and biking, which took him on many Century rides and a threeweek biking tour through Europe in 1984.

Gary leaves his three children: Cary (Ellen) Seyle, grandchildren Chris and Alex; Shelley (Pete) Overgaag, grandsons Sam and Jake; Jeff (Sonya) Seyle, granddaughters Ava and Abby. He also leaves his two loving stepsons, although to Gary there was no step: Michael (Janice) Villarreal, granddaughters Veronica, Cami and Alyssa; Jeff (Becky) Villarreal, grandsons Jacob and Isaac. Patricia's extended family will miss him dearly as well as Mark Shulman who was the brother he never had. Along with Mark, many other longtime friends will miss his long conversations and friendship. Gary always had a good story to tell and was a friend and gentleman to all.

just returned from a trip to Thailand, where we placed my mother’s ashes in a Buddhist temple in Nonthaburi, next to her parents and grandmother. My mom, Sunanta “Sunny” Quinn, passed away on December 27, 2017, after a long, tough battle with cancer.

Sunny was born in Bangkok, Thailand, on September 16, 1954.

As a young girl, Sunny was a total tomboy. She grew up playing soccer and learned Muay Thai kickboxing moves from her uncles. Her father was a civil engineer for the Thai government, and her mother was the neighborhood midwife. She was the eldest of six kids, growing up in a family that was amazingly closeknit. Family dinners were a loud affair, lasting hours. They were full of laughter, with spontaneous outbursts of singing and dancing.

She met her first husband, an American in the U.S. Air Force, in THE SUNNY STORY: The famed bartender at Mel’s and Pascucci, Sunny Quinn Thailand, where they married and loved Santa Barbara. And Santa Barbara loved her right back. where I was born in 1974. My father brought my mother and me to the U.S. in 1976 — we landed in Minnesota and started our the bar stools were full.

Sunny loved Santa Barbara; it was her home for life began to take the shape that many knew her for almost 40 years. And Santa Barbara loved her right in Santa Barbara.

In the early 1980s, she became a cocktail waitress back. She has often been referred to as the unofficial at Ripperetti’s and then learned how to bartend at mayor of Santa Barbara.

Margaret Armstrong Staton 05/14/46-04/05/18

Margaret Armstrong Staton, left us to be with the angels she loved on Thursday, April 5, 2018.

She passed away peacefully at her home in Montecito, California, surrounded by her loving staff and great friend, Linda Drevenstedt of Ventura, California. She was born on May 14, 1946, in Baltimore, Maryland. Her family later lived in Yonkers, New York, and then settled in Atlanta, GA. when she was two years old. Atlanta was home until she relocated to Montecito in 1996. Margaret became paraplegic as a child, though she was never Dis-Abled.

She lived a full and wonderful life, always supporting the arts, many charities and the disability community.

Margaret graduated from Georgia State University in 1968 with a degree in Classics and in 1974 with a master's degree in Education. Margaret was not only a strong advocate for the rights of people with disabilities, but also an educator and mentor. She created scholarships for graduate students with disabilities at Georgia State University where her contributions helped establish the Margaret A. Staton Office of Disability Services.

Her endowment has already assisted over 2,000 students.

The Ethel Louise Armstrong (ELA) Foundation propelled Margaret's vision to "change the face of disability on the planet."

ELA, created in 1995, awarded grants to organizations that supported arts and education for people with disabilities and scholarships for women with a physical disability who were pursuing a graduate degree. ELA also funded a technical assistance program to provide needed education in the requirements for the Americans with Disabilities Act and Audio Description for theaters.

Margaret, a true Steel Magnolia, enjoyed graciously entertaining friends and created a lovely home full of art and flowers. She loved football, especially watching her 26

1968. She is survived by her son, Mickey (Leslie) Cornish, five grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren and five great-great grandchildren.

Although she was reluctant to admit getting close to 100, one of her cherished moments was a celebration of that milestone birthday at Garden Court where she resided for some of the happiest years of her life. She was especially proud of making local news with a front page article and picture of the event.

Along with the blessed experience of the supportive staff at Garden Court, she was wonderfully cared for during the last 13 months at Buena Vista Care Center. A special thank you to her Becchio family, particularly Cecilia, and Gary Pesek, for their incredible devotion of time, energy and love to Auntie Norma. Also, to her dear friend for so many years, Andrea Bifano and her family.

There will be a Celebration of Life and Thanks (along with ice cream!) at Garden Court, 1116 De La Vina St. Santa Barbara, CA 93101 on Friday, May 18th at 1:30 p.m.

If you feel led to make a donation in her honor it would be gratefully appreciated for the Garden Court Employee Fund at the address listed above.

Simply Remembered is acknowledged for their respectful care of her final arrangements.

Gayla’s love for Santa Barbara was fierce as was her Christian faith. Her love for Jesus Christ and for her church Calvary Chapel was just as fierce. She would like to be remembered as a fun loving, dancing, Christ loving, lipstick wearing woman.

My mother was a true SB girl through and through. Hendry’s Beach was where you could find us back in the day. Growing up, she put me on the back of her bike and we would ride around town singing show tunes and laughing.

I am so thankful the she was that mom that let me run around naked at the beach.... chasing seagulls and living life to the fullest. She loved her music and dancing, she owned a little business called “Dance with Pizazz”. And did she have pizazz!!!

Her remains with be returned to our beloved home Santa Barbara this summer so we can celebrate her life as she lived it.

You are missed every day.

RIP Mom (Gayla). Email me @ rnbecca2@yahoo.com so we can discuss this summer and her life celebration! Peace and love.

Norma Cornish, a native of Santa Barbara, passed on peacefully just before dawn on April 26, 2018, seven weeks shy of her 103rd birthday. She was born Norma Margaret Becchio along with her twin brother, Norman, on June 13, 1915 to Romano “Reno” and Catherine (Walsh) Becchio.

She also had two additional siblings, Francis and Edgar.

She attended Notre Dame All Girls High School which eventually became Catholic High and is now known as Bishop Diego High. She also attended UCSB when it was still located on the Riviera. She married Clayton J. Cornish on September 1, 1940.

They had two sons.

Clayton J. “Duke” Cornish, Jr. predeceased her in a tragic accident on December 19,

Gayle Joanne Molitor passed away peacefully October 31st with her daughter and son in law by her side. “Gayla” as she liked to be called had recently moved to CT to be with her daughter, Rebekah Sousa and her son in law Cesar Sousa. Most importantly she moved to CT to be with her one grandchild Olivia. Gayla moved to Santa Barbara when she was a teenager with her family Lloyd and Isabel Mooney and her brother Gary Mooney. She left behind her daughter, granddaughter and her brother and his family Rose, Brandon, Bailee and Mckenzee Mooney who live in Northern

The world has lost a special soul with the passing of Karen Leigh Olsen. Karen had an unrelenting spirit. She was determined, and when she put her mind to something, there was no stopping her. When Karen was told 10 years ago that she only had 6 months to live due to breast cancer, she defied the odds. She did her research and stayed alive for a decade using alternative treatments, amazing everyone around her. Karen was a talented artist who loved community, gardening, and most of all, her son. She was truly a beautiful soul, and her smile would light up a room like nothing you've ever seen. We miss you dearly, Karen, but we know your wild spirit is out there soaring. A very heartfelt thanks to Tracy, Nurse Deb and Sarah House for helping Karen's family during the toughest of times. You are angels on earth.

hank you to Mayor Cathy Murillo and the Santa Barbara City Council for dedicating May 12 to a critical public-health crisis most people know nothing about. Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia — also known as ME/CFS/FM —prevents sufferers from going to work or attending school. Because many are housebound or bedbound, those in our community with ME/CFS/FM are too often hidden and forgotten.

It is estimated that up to 2.5 million ME/CFS patients and 5 million fibromyalgia patients live in the U.S. They often suffer from multiple debilitating symptoms that impact every aspect of their lives. Too much is still unknown about these illnesses, and millions of patients suffer in pain and receive little help.

Sadly, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) fund minimal research, and it is left to the private sector to try to find answers. I work with the Open Medicine Foundation (OMF) to fund research internationally.

The progress we are making is coming from individuals who see the importance of helping people return to their pre-illness lives.

I am honored that our city is formally recognizing International ME/CFS/FM Awareness Day and encouraging residents to educate themselves, to show compassion, and to support funding and research.

We invite you to join the fight for those who are too ill to advocate for themselves. They need each of us to stand up and be heard. More than 100 Visibility Actions will happen around the world on May 12 for #MillionsMissing, with the nearest at Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade at noon. Join the action. Get involved.

Caveat Emptor, Voters

I

n 2015, voters were asked to merge our nonpartisan local elections with presidential and congressional elections. As recommended by the Independent, among many others, voters said “No.” But now the

mayor and City Council want the question back on this year’s ballot. Apparently, they weren’t happy with the outcome.

The argument for such a move is that turnout is higher for national elections. That is a valid point— but if people aren’t interested in the local issues debated during local campaigns now, why would they have any interest during a national election?

On the contrary, local candidates and issues would be buried and likely disappear in the context of a national election. Lacking knowledge or interest in local issues, most of the voters gained will simply vote for the candidate appearing on the same mailer as their national and state choices.

In other words, they will vote for the candidate endorsed by their party. And that is why they keep reviving this stale idea. Parties would gain even more control than they already have over our supposedly nonpartisan local elections.

Please, Mayor and Council, work instead to engage more voters in the local issues that most directly affect their lives. Don’t just shut those discussions down and turn the decision-making over to party central committees.

There may be fewer of us engaged in those local discussions than in a media-driven national election, but at least our vote is based on those discussions—not on who is running for president. — Gerry DeWitt, S.B.

Some Call It Taking the Time to Prepare a Good Defense

commentary on the ongoing discussion about the causes of an alleged “culture of delay” in Santa Barbara’s criminal justice system is certainly interesting and on point to a degree. However, both Judge de Bellefeuille’s editorial and Public Defender Tracy Macuga’s observations in the Independent article “Attacking the Court’s ‘Culture of Delay’ ” may be read by some as an allegation that delay is inherently harmful to the cause of the accused, especially the indigent accused. The further implication of this is that the “system” has created a process purposefully harmful to these folks.

In evaluating this thought, it is important to consider the manner by which such clients obtain counsel. In 99 percent of the cases, the first meeting is at the arraignment. No discussion has taken place between the lawyer and client; no “discovery” has occurred; no actual charges have been seen. In the most serious cases (felony matters, for example) it is an ethical and practical imperative that time be obtained for the new lawyer to read the reports, read the complaints filed, talk to the client, investigate the allegations, and talk to family and others.

On any given arraignment calendar, there will be dozens of new clients seeking the appointment of an attorney. Just gathering reports, hastily reviewing them, talking to the accused, and evaluating bail or other appropriate motions needed in the case takes time. Trying to speed this up is counter to the interests of justice for both the accused and the people of the state.

So perhaps the cause for delay is “culturally driven,” but that culture is arguably the end product of historical experience and accumulated knowledge. Our Constitution protects this right as “due process.”

In my decades of practice, I observed numerous efforts to expedite the pace of criminal law. Almost universally, these efforts meant that the accused should sacrifice something. The bail reform of a couple of decades back, which made it affordable for poor people to post bail early, was eviscerated. Bail schedules set by judges raised the amounts to be posted. Both of these acts kept people in custody before arraignment, cynics would say, to pressure them to plead early.

And if they did not plead early, sentences would often be increased. It became a specific and judicially authorized consideration to authorize harsher punishment for defendants who opted to stand on their presumption of innocence and to litigate the charges against them. Defendants, in patent violation of their right against self-incrimination, the presumption of innocence, and the attorneyclient privilege, have been compelled to give the prosecution their defenses and the identity of their witnesses. For the accused people who insisted on filing motions to suppress

evidence, dismiss counts, or challenge the legality of the process itself, additional charges would be filed by prosecutors and tolerated by judges.

In the name of expediting the process, the size of juries is being reduced (which narrows the scope of the “peers” hearing the evidence), and the unanimous verdict requirement for conviction has been undercut in some jurisdictions. Almost always, the instinct is to press public defender attorneys to work extraordinary hours when the courts are crowded. Seldom are they granted the time to prepare in the normal business day.

Concurrently, the State Legislature increased the penalties for crimes, which made the risk of litigation more dangerous for accused people. Lawmakers — both those in the Legislature and voters, via the initiative process — also took away procedures that traditionally exposed prosecution shortcomings.

For example, true preliminary hearings were eliminated; traditionally, the hearing evaluated the credibility of witnesses.

To this day, ideas that would speed the process somewhat — but might make it more difficult for the prosecutor to convict — go unconsidered, for example, limits on retrials when juries hang or restrictions on the addition of charges after the case has been filed. Resources made available to prosecutors (such as special places for their witnesses to await court and special counselors to advise them) have not been given to the defense, which delays the presentation of that side of a case. And so forth.

So while there is cause for concern regarding the criminal justice system, as always, the solution to the perceived problems of our criminal courts should not be to compromise or adulterate our constitutional rights, as is so often the proposal. The adversary system has been proved to be the best machine for reaching a just result. Removing confrontation and due-process protections in the name of expediency is not the answer.

COVER STORY

BRAD PAISLEY’S MONTECITO MISSION Country Music Superstar Hosts 2nd Responders Benefit for Thomas Fire and Flood Recovery

S

by pring is a wonderful season in Santa Barbara.

Jacaranda trees erupt in purple flowers; the air is fresh and crisp; the sun rides higher in the sky each day. Tourists and residents alike stroll State Street, shopping, dining, and enjoying the lovely weather, beautiful views, and friendly aura of the American Riviera.

This April and early May have been no different.

It’s shocking, then, to remember that a mere five months ago, our coastal Eden was threatened by California’s largest wildfire in history; that the streets were deserted, shops and restaurants closed due to the unbearable amount of toxic ash blanketing the city; and that the winter holidays were virtually canceled as residents evacuated and then returned and then evacuated again.

Then, just as thousands of first responders heroically extinguished the Thomas Fire in the front country, Mother Nature unleashed a rare rain microburst that dropped a half inch of water in five minutes onto the charred landscape, causing a debris flow that brought the denuded mountainside racing down to the sea, indiscriminately taking with it homes and lives.

While there is a sense of normalcy again and even joie de vivre, full recovery — physical, psychological, financial, and emotional — will take years. Fortunately, there’s been an astonishing outpouring of support for those affected by the fire and debris flow that has come in myriad forms, from bucket brigades to fundraising concerts.

14 Academy of Country Music Awards, and become a member of the Grand Ole Opry, among other impressive achievements.

Paisley and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, first became acquainted with Santa Barbara when they spent their honeymoon here after marrying in 2003. “We would frequently take a weekend and get away from L.A., and Santa Barbara became our destination on the weekends,” Paisley told me over the phone last week. “At some point, I finally just said, ‘We need a place there.’ Montecito and Santa Barbara and that whole area, it’s just so magical.”

As for The ` nd Responders benefit, Paisley said that it “is to help some of the [people who] are falling through the cracks,” such as those in the food service industry. So, in addition to raising funds via the concert, Paisley will be patronizing various eateries in town and inviting people to join him.

“I have quite a few fans who are coming in from various places [for the show],” explained Paisley “So I’m going to have sort of a scavenger hunt throughout the weekend, where I say, ‘Hey, who wants to go to Scoop and get gelato on Coast Village Road? I’ll meet you there in 30 minutes.’ ” He may also do the same for dinner before the show, “just kind of showing off our town a little bit and helping the businesses,” he said. “I was there last week, and it’s starting to look like they’re building as opposed to just cleaning up …. But it’s starting to move into that phase of, ‘Well, what do you do now?’ And that’s kind of what this concert’s for.” >>>

The following is an edited version of our conversation.

I think there is a perception that because it’s so beautiful, Santa Barbarans don’t have problems. But we have suffered our fair share of tragedy. What sets us apart, perhaps, is the immediate and incredible community support.

It’s been inspiring. I’ve made lots of friends [here] over the years, and just [watched] the way [people have pitched in]. [For example,] I would call a friend of mine and see what he’s doing today, and he would say, “Oh, we’re heading up to [so and so’s place] to work on his house and help clean out.” The heartbreak, though, has been something; everybody knew somebody, even if just vicariously, [who was affected].

When the fire started, we packed up — we were going to spend Christmas in Tennessee anyway — and left a little early because of the air. But I never thought [the Thomas Fire] was on its way, because it started in Ventura, which is 35 miles away. I was trying to tell somebody in Nashville that [Ventura] is the equivalent of a town like Murfreesboro, which is probably about 30 miles away. If a fire breaks out in Murfreesboro and you need to worry [about it reaching you] in Nashville, that’s strange. That’s something new to me to get used to out in California.

Then it took off, and it was a matter of just checking hourly with people as the fire started to advance on the mountains. A couple of my friends took some photos from my yard — you could see flames. It was just so weird thinking, “Is this all going up?” And then we were out of the woods.

…. During the fire, no one was shopping. And then there was the mudslide …. And we’re also helping [Visit Santa Barbara’s] Santa Barbara Shine Campaign.

I’ve heard people say, “Montecito, they have tons of money; they’ll be fine.” And that makes me bristle. I’ve heard that too. That’s just

somebody trying to make it okay in their mind, but it doesn’t help …. The thing is, there are a lot of people who were not able to go to work during that entire time, when fire was raging. And then there was the mudslide, where people lost lives.

thought? Who would’ve thought Coast Village was in the line of fire?

My hometown has about 1,200 people. But Franklin is this town 20 miles south of Nashville; it reminds me of Santa Barbara a little bit … I try to explain to people who don’t realize what happened [in Montecito] … saying, “Listen, it’s like downtown Franklin, down by the restaurants and the shops and everything, just mud rolls through.” And they can’t fathom that …. And the interstate, and the loss of life — I mean, it’s just such a strange, strange thing. I just felt like I needed to do something. I think all of us who have any ties there, whether that’s Jack Johnson or Katy Perry …. Ellen and I were texting throughout and saying, “Can you believe this?” When we decided to do this concert, she said, “I want to be a part of this.”

Which organizations are going to be the beneficiaries of this concert? One is called Res-

taurants Care …. It helps restaurants workers who have been so hurt — none of them worked from December to January, really. … And the Montecito YMCA, and the Unity Shoppe, which is near and dear to my heart.

They do wonderful work. They’re the best

model for that kind of charity that’s ever been conceived. … And then the Santa Barbara Farmers Market. They were hugely impacted

same thing; it really is. When you’re talking about somebody’s home being completely destroyed, it doesn’t matter what that home cost; it was their home …. I feel like we can’t ignore what happened and just be completely upbeat about it. … Though this concert is meant to shine some positive light on this.

It’s time to sort of celebrate the way this community rallied. …

Until the rain came. And who would’ve

Brad Paisley at his 2006 show at the S.B. Bowl

There have been very generous people, like the video company that provides video on my tours — they donated a screen for the concert. … Basically, anybody who could give away anything for the concert did. Amtrak is going to bring people up from Los Angeles; they’ve got this initiative called [Hug] the Coast.

I’ve sort of hidden in Santa Barbara as long as I’ve been there. And when this fire came through, I felt like I couldn’t do that anymore.

I felt like, I can’t just reap the benefits of living [in Santa Barbara] and not do whatever I can to help …. What got me choked up was the day that tickets went on sale [for the concert] at the Bowl. There was a line that stretched all the way down the block. It was really neat to see it because any questions in my mind about, “Does the community want this? Is it too soon?” [were gone]. It was touching to feel, “Oh, this is great; people seem to be fired up.”

DID YOU KNOW...

Having some ants in your home landscape can be beneficial. But when populations get out of hand, ants become more than nuisances; they may contaminate food and spread disease. Common ants, such as Argentine ants, odorous house ants and pavement ants, can be especially troublesome. Usually 1/10 to 1/8 inch long, in colors from light brown to brownblack, they generally live in outdoor colonies, but they may forage — and potentially nest — indoors. Though hard to tell apart, even for pest professionals, these common ants have distinct nesting habits and preferences.

VICENTA’S COMING TO CAMINO REAL: This just in

from reader Cris: “A couple day ago I was listening to KjEE, and I swear I heard John Palminteri announce that the now-closed Pascucci in Goleta is going to be turned into a new restaurant by the owners of Los Agaves.” Soon thereafter reader David sent me a photo of the exterior. Because I live in the area, I walked over and saw a huge new sign that reads Vicenta’s atop the building at 6920 Marketplace Drive, the former home of Pascucci Goleta, Holdren’s Grill, Holdren’s Steaks & Seafood, Zaffiro, Pascucci Goleta (the first time), and Chevy’s Fresh Mex Restaurant.

FALA BAR COMING SOMEWHERE: Reader Anita says

she spotted a message on Instagram that said Fala Bar vegan restaurant at 7751½ Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood will be opening a second location in Santa Barbara. The exact address has yet to be revealed.

“Founded in 2014, Fala Bar takes an innovative approach to healthy cuisine, offering inspired, finecasual vegan food, made fresh daily from organic or local produce,” says falabar.com. “At Fala Bar, we are disrupting the stereotypes associated with vegan food by making plant-based food that both vegans and carnivores enjoy. While we the founders of Fala Bar are not vegan, we believe that everyone can benefit from a diet that includes meat-free meals.”

STARBUCKS SET TO OPEN: A new Starbucks opens

May 14 inside Albertsons Market at 7127 Hollister Avenue, next to Costco. I’m told that you might get a free drink before opening day if you happen to stop by while workers are training.

MATTEI’S TAVERN UPDATE: Last fall we reported that

Mattei’s Tavern Restaurant, built in 1886 as a stagecoach stop by Felix Mattei, had been purchased

by Brian and Shamra Strange, with Chef Maili Halme leasing the restaurant, which opened in December. Last week, Halme posted the following on Instagram: “My 50th birthday is in June.

These past six months at the restaurant have been the ultimate birthday celebration …. My last day at the restaurant will be June 3, and we will open early at noon for our traditional Fried Chicken Sunday Dinner. We will also be open at 11 a.m. on Mother’s Day. Please be sure to use any gift certificates you may have purchased or received before June 3. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to fulfill my dream, and I look forward to returning to other pursuits. The future of the restaurant is in the hands of the Strange family, and they have asked the community to stay tuned for their upcoming plans.”

ITALIAN AND GREEK DELI RETURN? This just in from

reader Primetime: “Verizon has now closed at 636 State Street. For years it was the famous Italian and Greek Deli with the oil-soaked delicious torpedo subs. The deli closed in 2007.” Perhaps this space has food in its future?

BREWHOUSE UPDATE: Reader “Goleta Welcome

Matt” tells me that The Brewhouse at 229 West Montecito Street is having specials all month long to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

restaurant is now open at 1305 State Street, the former longtime home of Downey’s. I stopped by a few times during the lunch hour and at 8 p.m. last Saturday, and each time there was nobody around, with no hours posted on the door, so your guess is as good as mine as to what is the best day and time to check them out.

Fortunately, Tony took a photo of the menu, which includes: Starters: Pimiento Cheese ($6), Lemon Chicken Soup ($7), Bruschetta ($8); Salads: Roost ($16), Pacific Ahi ($16); Hand Held: Roast Chicken Sandwich ($15), Porchetta ($16), Wagyu Sirloin ($16); Entrees: Mary’s Half Chicken ($21), Porchetta ($21), Wagyo Sirloin ($24), Stuffed Pasilla Chiles ($21); and a variety of side dishes.

FOOD & DRINK •

a once-a-year treat that seemingly screams late autumn or early winter owing to its chocolate and vanilla sweetness that’s draped in fresh oranges, zest and all. It’s reminiscent of those chocolate oranges you whack and unwrap at Christmastime.

Third Window, from Kris Parker (Fess’s grandson), is a relatively small operation that brews just 1,000 barrels a year. Many of their beers, Parker proclaims,“are heavily influenced by ideas of foraging.” It’s why you’ll see native herbs used in the descriptions of their beers (whether said herbs are used or not). The oranges in this beer are no different.

There’s a love-hate relationship folks have with this flavor combo, here presented by oranges that patrons hauled in from their backyards and chocolate from Third Window’s neighbor Twenty-Four Blackbirds. Yet even my wife, who avoids the pairing, confesses this imperial stout (8.2 percent ABV) is a delectable indulgence, even in the spring. The Madagascar vanilla

Melissa Pierson in her warehouse

O

Free Furniture for Montecito

nce they got past the immediate shock of the January debris flow that swallowed their homes and possessions, dozens of Montecito residents sought to reclaim a sense of normalcy in their everyday lives. Housing was the biggest obstacle. Many started paying rent on top of their mortgage. Those that moved into empty spaces had nothing to bring with them.

To make these tough times just a little more manageable, Melissa Pierson opened her heart — and her Goleta warehouse — to the displaced. As the owner and operator of Coastal Hideaways, a Montecito real estate and interior design firm, Pierson began lending out her company’s furniture and household items. It wasn’t long before she started just giving them away. “I realized I couldn’t go back to people and say, ‘Hey, I need my furniture now,’ ” she explained. “They need it a lot more than I do.”

So far, Pierson has completely filled eight homes — with beds, couches, lamps, microwaves, etc. — and helped a dozen more families.

She calculates she’s given away approximately $150,000 worth of furniture. “I’ve never done anything like this before,” she said. “This is a once -in-a-lifetime opportunity to help.” She’s running low on mattresses and is taking donations.

Pierson called it an unfortunate assumption that all Montecitans are wealthy homeowners. Many are renters, she said, and “some lost everything.” Pierson recently furnished the home of the Benitez family, who lost four members in the disaster. She’s also assisting Ventura residents displaced by the Thomas Fire. Pierson herself was evacuated twice during the fire, her company’s bookkeeper was forced to flee Ojai for Camarillo, and her office assistant was trapped in her East Valley Road home with her husband and 5-year-old when the mud came roaring down the mountains.

Many displaced Montecito residents, however, are still looking for places to rent in town, Pierson went on. “There’s a huge waiting list of victims who need homes,” she said. “People are desperate.” So Pierson is now helping connect victims with potential places to rent and is asking the community to make offers where it can. “We really need homes, empty condos,” she explained. “Even if it’s only for a few months.”

The charity work has become a full-time job, and Pierson is contemplating one day, when the dust settles, starting a nonprofit. “It’s crossed my mind,” she said.

This shows you are taking it seriously.” Lastly, when it comes to those dreaded curveball questions that some employers throw out there “to get a sense of an applicant’s intellect and ability to handle situations that may not be in their day-to-day job description,” DO “stay calm and focus on not going off the topic of the question ✸ being asked.”

“Our goal at Eureka is to help people figure out who they are,” said Sumyyah Bilal, Eureka’s director.

Eureka has six different self-assessments that help people figure out who they are before matching them to possible careers.

“It’s really a long-term business model,” explained CMC Rescue CEO Rich Phillips. “You’ve created a market for the shares of a private company. It’s still private, but you’ve given it sustainability, and you’ve also invested in and changed the culture of the company.

Now everybody’s an owner, and that’s quite the shift.”

When wage-earning employees become owners, “the hallway conversations change,” said CMC CFO Beth Henry. “We started hearing things like, ‘Is that in our budget?’”

Switching to the ESOP model is what allowed CMC, the Goleta-based safety equipment supplier, to stay local rather than sell to a bigger company. Forming the ESOP was their way of saying, “We’re going to stay here, this is going to be our home, and we’re going to be contributing members of this community,” said Phillips, “and that was a gutsy call because it’s expensive to do business here.”

AMGEN TOUR TACKLES GIBRALTAR ROAD hey’ll be heading for the big hill on Monday, May 14, when the Amgen Tour of California (ATOC) brings a flock of top professional cyclists to Santa Barbara for the ninth time. Stage 2, a 96-mile race that starts in Ventura, will end with a torturous seven-mile, 3,100-foot climb up Gibraltar Road.

Five more stages will follow before the 13th annual ATOC, comprising some 650 miles, winds up in Sacramento on May 19. But Monday’s stage could prove to be the most consequential in determining the overall winner. Such was the case in 2016, when Gibraltar Road, then the finish of Stage 3, shattered the usually tight pack of riders. Julian Alaphilippe of France was la crème that rose to the top, and the stage victory vaulted him into the overall lead, which he never relinquished.

Such classy sprinters as world champion Peter Sagan, who had won the 2015 ATOC, trailed the leaders up the mountain by more than 20 minutes.

Several gutsy riders, including California’s Peter Stetina, took turns leading the way up the steep road, but Alaphilippe put them away with a late surge, beating Stetina by 15 seconds.

It broke a streak of seven American victories in ATOC stages that have finished in Santa Barbara County, including four time trials in Solvang. Last year’s fourth stage started here and ended in Santa Clarita with America’s Evan Huffman scoring a surprising victory. The overall champion was New Zealand’s George Bennett.

The charismatic Sagan will return to the starting line Sunday. He takes a record 16 ATOC stage wins into the opening circuit race on the streets of Long Beach. The Slovakian rides for Bora-Hansgrohe, one of the top teams on the World Tour. Other stars include Britain’s Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data), who has sprinted to 10 stage wins in California, and Germany’s Marcel Kittel (Katusha-Alpecin).

Sagan’s teammate Rafal Majka, who holds two King of the Mountain titles in the Tour de France, could be one to power up Gibraltar Road, as well as the veteran Stetina and Neilson Powless, a young American who made a strong bid here two years ago.

Whoever claims the overall lead in Santa Barbara will just be trying to finish in the pack of Tuesday’s stage, which starts in King City and is expected to come down to a mass sprint on the Laguna Seca raceway. The next opportunity to make a move in the general classification (overall standings) will be Wednesday’s 21.6-mile time trial in Morgan Hill.

The race to Gibraltar Road presented a new challenge to the tour organizers. Because of damages to Highway 192 caused by the Thomas Fire and subsequent flooding, an alternate route zigzagging through Carpinteria, Summer-

SHARING THE EXCITEMENT: Students at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School get up close and personal with professional cyclist Alison Tetrick. She used the upcoming Amgen Tour of California to teach them about the benefits of riding bicycles, as well as stressing that they be safe and smart.

PREPPING FOR THE BIG DAY: Our Lady of Mount Car-

mel School is a short distance from the racecourse in Montecito, and its 200 students will be ready to greet the riders with clanging cowbells after being visited last month by professional cyclist Alison Tetrick.

Tetrick appeared as an ambassador in the Amgen Breakaway School Program. “Riding bikes is a powerful way to promote fitness and health and to interact with the community,” said the 33-year-old cyclist. She has ridden in seven ATOC women’s races—this year’s tour has three stages for women, in Northern California — and she is serious about being “a strong female role model.”

As such, she stressed three themes that apply to cycling and life in general—“Be safe … be active … be smart” —and she led the students through a short but vigorous routine of running in place, jumping jacks, touching toes and dancing.

Buttressing her program were national health statistics that show 17 percent of children in the U.S. are obese, and the numbers of children riding bikes has declined 20 percent since 2010.

Tetrick grew up on a ranch in Los Alamos.

“It’s cool to come back to this area,” she said.

Her cycling career did not start until after she graduated from Abilene Christian University.

“My grandfather, Paul Tetrick, got me into the sport,” she said. “He took up bike riding after 50 and won 17 national titles. He’s 87 now and still riding.”

It is an activity for all ages. But on Monday, COAST VILLAGE ROUTE: The course for Monday’s race from Ventura to Gibraltar Road was rerouted to avoid washed-out areas of Highway 192. Here it goes through the 136 men rapidly cranking their custom Coast Village Road and up Hermosillo Drive to Hot Springs Road, where it will rejoin two-wheelers toward the sky will be a breed 192 at Sycamore Canyon Road. n apart.

The effervescent Kevin Jenkins, choreographer of last year’s French-themed pop confection C’est la vie, is back with Flirting, a perfect subject for his lyrical form of satire.

Leila Drake will come kicking (not screaming) out of retirement to reprise her part in Nancy Colahan’s 2011 duet K&L/In Tandem, which this time out will be known as J&L/ In Tandem to indicate that her partner will be “J” — James Folsom — rather than “K” —Kyle Castillo—as it was in the premiere.

It’s all exciting, but for those who got a glimpse of the work in rehearsal, the night’s most buzzed-about number has to be Kassandra Taylor Newberry’s Fold. Set at an underground poker game, Fold features rolling office chairs and a special poker table on wheels. The dancers flip, flop, fly, and of course fold at a furious pace to a breathtaking score by Hollywood soundtrack titan Hans Zimmer.

State Street Ballet presents Modern Masters at the New Vic (33 W. Victoria St.) Friday-Saturday, May 11-12, 7:30 p.m. For tickets and information, call 965-5400 or visit newvictheater.com.

THE INCOURAGE CHORUS Just when it seems like the world has gone completely to the bad, along comes a new form of community activism to reignite one’s faith. The spring session of the inCourage Community Chorus has been gathering on Monday evenings at Yoga Soup since February, and now this non-audition, nondenominational, all-ages group led by song carriers Ben Gould and Britta Gudmunson is ready to invite the world in to hear what they have been creating together.

On Saturday, May 12, the group will present The Other Side: Songs of Transformation at Yoga Soup (28 Parker Wy.) at 7 p.m. in a benefit concert for nonprofit People Assisting the Homeless S.B. The

inCourage Community Chorus belongs to a larger international movement called the Ubuntu Choirs Network, in which trained leaders facilitate choral experiences designed to reach people who don’t know how to sing or who have been told they can’t sing.

In this group, all are welcome, and the philosophy is that “music is medicine” and is “part of every human’s birthright.” One of the songs that inCourage will perform on Saturday was written by area rock star Glen Phillips, who also leads an Ubuntustyle choir of his own. For Gudmunson, the goal is to achieve a human connection among the members and “to make music that is both expression and activism.”

overlapping audiences: serious dance fans, fellow professional dancers, and creative types who geek out over the fantastic inventiveness of the movement.

This year, all three Electra of those groups will get served, sometimes at once. Those familiar with the history of State Street Ballet will thrill to William Soleau’s pas de deux Isle, which he originally choreographed for himself and his wife in 1984 and which then became an early signature work in the SSB repertoire. This time around it will be danced by the recent Romeo and Juliet’s fabulous Juliet, Deise Mendonça, alongside Francois Llorente, who was an electrifying Mercutio in that same production.

The Modern Masters format mixes in solos and duets among larger pieces, and this year is no exception. SSB’s Cecily Nancy Colahan Stewart choreographed one of the night’s bigger ensembles for Reverie (2018), a contemplative work that aims to access the realm of dreams. It’s scored to Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and an original work, “Wolofong” by pianist Stephen Kelly, and will feature an ensemble cast of nine.

lenty of Santa Barbara organizations learned what it’s like to get knocked down in mid-stride this winter as the Thomas Fire and subsequent mudslides forced the cancellation of dozens of major performances, so there’s no saying any one suffered more than the others. Yet still, the loss of a Nutcracker season means something different for a ballet company than can be fairly compared to virtually any other event. A stage and backstage packed with precious sugarplums and snowflakes, plus an audience filled to the brim with festive family and friends—this is the heart and soul of any company with a youth program and a school. The good news is that, despite this challenging winter, at State Street Ballet (SSB) the spring has finally come, and that means not only the splendid Romeo and Juliet we saw at the Lobero in March but also the company’s freshest major venture, Modern Masters, which has now become an annual occurrence at Ensemble Theatre Company’s sleek New Vic theater.

Designed to showcase shorter works both new and old by contemporary choreographers, the program lets the company’s talented dancers loose to perform in multiple styles and take aesthetic leaps that sometimes land outside the boundaries of what we have come to expect from them. As a result, the two nights of Modern Masters, scheduled this year for Friday-Saturday, May 11-12, are among the hottest tickets of the dance season and attract three distinct but

VOICES OF

SURVIVAL As led by Artistic Director Janet Adderley, the Santa Barbara Youth Ensemble Theatre (SBYET) has developed a reputation for giving young performers the benefit of professional production values and high artistic expectations. Long known as the city’s primary incubator for those children talented enough to turn pro before they graduate, SBYET this season can claim another title as a place where seemingly unbearable trauma can be treated and from which survivors like Lauren Cantin can rise again to let their voices be heard.

Cantin, who lost most of her family in the Montecito mudslides and was herself buried alive until firefighters rescued her on live television, next came to the public’s attention at the Kick Ash Bash as the girl who sang “God Bless America.” Despite the savage difficulties she faced in the weeks after January 9, 2018, Cantin persevered with her training at the Adderley School on lower State Street, and, thanks to her own fortitude and the faith of both her mother and her teacher Janet Adderley, she has made the decision to be part of the show she committed to back before any of this happened, the classic musical of love and loss, Les Misérables.

Talking with me about what informed that decision on Cantin’s part to continue with the show, Adderley recalled the first time she spoke to her after seeing the rescue on television. “I asked her how the responders knew where she was, and Lauren said to me ‘I screamed so they could find me,’” said Adderley.

“And then I said to her, ‘Lauren, you used your voice.

Your voice is what saved your life.’ ” Since that day, many others have found something life-affirming in the middle schooler’s voice. For one, Katy Perry has asked Lauren, along with the rest of the cast of Les Mis, to join her onstage at the Santa Barbara Bowl for the chorus of her hit “Fireworks” when she performs a benefit there on Saturday, May 19. Despite the excitement, it’s likely the kids will sleep well that night, as they will already have performed two shows that day at the Lobero, one at 1 p.m. and the other at 5 p.m.

Sunday’s performances are at 2 and 6 p.m. For tickets and information, visit lobero.org or call 963-0761.

AUDRA McDONALD V star, vocal phenom, movie actress, and Broadway legend: Audra McDonald does it all. Her latest venture is the May 11 release of Sing Happy, a live recording of McDonald’s May 1 performance with the New York Philharmonic at the orchestra’s spring gala. The six-time Tony Award winner comes to The Granada Theatre on May 15 for a concert featuring classic show tunes and music from the silver screen, along with original pieces written specifically for her soprano styling. I recently spoke over the phone with McDonald about her upcoming performance, auditioning for roles, and the changing landscape regarding diversity awareness.

You’ve done so much in your career — what else would you like to do? I’d really like to do more Shakespeare. I feel like there’s more to learn for me as far as Shakespeare is concerned, and I’ve only wet my whistle twice, and I would love to get another opportunity to play a role. [I’d like to play] Lady Macbeth. I find her fascinating, cold, and passionate.

CHANTEUSE TO SING SHOW TUNES AND MUSIC FROM THE SILVER SCREEN

by Maggie Yates

Congratulations on your new album coming out! Tell me about Sing Happy.

We did a concert with the New York Philharmonic — it’s music I’ve always wanted to sing, and of course it’s the most incredible orchestra on the planet. We were offered the opportunity to film it, and I’ve always wanted to do something that is live, in recording, so it was very exciting to memorialize a concert in that way. It’s a dream come true to get the opportunity to do a concert with the New York Philharmonic — and to have someone record it for posterity.

What can we look forward to at your Granada performance?

There will be some of the repertoire from the new album. I’m excited about the new material. For years I’ve been championing the works of young musical theater composers because I believe in nurturing the art form that is musical theater, but I’ve lately been going back to some of the classics. There’re so many great old tunes out there … some great Rodgers and Hammerstein, Jule Styne, and Sondheim, always Sondheim.

In the past when you had to audition — I imagine you don’t have to anymore — what was your audition song? I do have to audition from time to time … that never really goes away. I sang “Meadowlark” [from The Baker’s Wife] to audition for getting an agent years ago. I [also] sang “One Night Only” from Dreamgirls.

How do you balance career and family?

A good friend of mine once said: “You don’t slice the whole roast beef at once. You do one thin slice at a time.” … Me and my husband, with four kids between us and our jobs and whatnot, it’s like, “Okay, how do we work out today.” We don’t go past the next four or five hours. It’s air traffic control around here. One moment at a time.

There’s a lot of talk about getting better and more roles for people of color in the performing arts and women over the age of 30.

Do you have any ideas for how we can progress in this area in a positive way? I think awareness is a huge part of it. We’re in a period right now where a lack of diversity — which used to be the norm — has become more and more glaring with each passing year. The awareness of that and the calling out of the lack of diversity is important.

To quote Ragtime, “We can never go back to before.” It does feel like if we were to go into a Broadway season with no people of color or great roles for women over the age of 30, I think people would be up in arms about it, whereas years ago, no one would have blinked an eye.

I think there has been progress through the simple fact that there is awareness and people who will call it out in a way that didn’t happen before.

A GREAT PLACE TO WORK FOR ALL

I

f only more American workplaces exhibited the attributes that make what Michael C. Bush and his research team—the people behind the Fortune 100 Best Companies list — label a great place to work for all. These attributes include maximizing human potential and trust.

Bush devotes considerable focus to these two because he believes that hightrust, high-perfor-mance workplace cultures not only are better for people but also lead to increased profitability.

In 2015, the Gallup organization published a survey finding that 70 percent of American workers feel disengaged at work. Echoing Gallup, Bush writes, “Many workplace cultures today are weak. Grim, even.” But Bush and his team believe the tide is turning, in the United States and around the world, as companies realize that their most important resource is the passion and commitment of their employees. High-trust,

high-performance cultures are, however, much more than perks like dry-cleaning service, daycare centers, or on-site yoga classes; they are places where leaders actually listen to their employees and believe they are worthy of being paid attention to, regardless of what job title they hold.

If you have worked for any length of time in almost any industry, you might conclude that all the great work workplaces Bush refers to must be in Silicon Val Valley and that the ideas he espouses are unlikely to take root where bosses are capricious; com companies are hotbeds of dysfunction, favoritism and inequality; and the work itself rarely taps the best people have to offer.

Given the huge chunks of time most people devote to their jobs, who wouldn’t want to be part of a workplace that treats employees with respect, values their ideas, and shares the rewards when the business or organization succeeds? If only such workplaces were the norm rather than the exception.

THE DEEPEST WELL:

HEALING THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF CHILDHOOD ADVERSITY

W

h e n Na d i n e Burke Harris opened a health clinic in Bayview Hunters Point, a poor, predominately African-American section of San Francisco, the faint outlines of a pattern emerged — a link between toxic stress in childhood and serious illnesses in adulthood.

After discovering a research study on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), Burke Harris realized she was on to something important. The repeated release of stress hormones in childhood—the fight-or-flight response — caused by physical or psychological abuse, parental addiction, domestic violence, and neglect alters biological systems and can lead to diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and other chronic health conditions.

Effects of Childhood Adversity is the story of how Burke Harris meticulously connected the dots between what she saw in her daily practice and a little-known research study. This convergence changed her professional life.

“The realization,” writes Burke Harris, “that this was bigger than my patients, bigger than Bayview, made my heart pound.

Adversity’s detrimental impact on health had all the hallmarks of a public-health crisis hid-

den in plain sight.”

Burke Harris is a determined physician and a compassionate woman on a mission to inspire action. She imagines a future in which screening for ACEs is as common as a TB test and as routine as prenatal care. The Deepest Well is a clarion call to know and understand the legacy of childhood that we carry in our bodies.

Endowed with an abundance of intelligence, grace, and warmth, Hadjitofi has devoted more than 30 years of her life to tracking down and repatriating thousands of icons, mosaics, and frescoes looted from churches after Turkey invaded Northern Cyprus in 1974. “Deep down,” Hadjitofi explained, “I am a human rights activist. The loss of one’s cultural heritage is devastating.

I realized that I could become a victim or a fighter for justice.” In a world in which cultural cleansing is an all-too-common occurrence, we are fortunate that Tasoula Hadjitofi refused to become a victim.

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM

L

ast Thursday night, LCD Soundsystem filled the S.B. Bowl with effervescent sounds of ’80s alt-rock and synth riffs coupled with swelling guitar solos that sent shock waves of amazement through the crowd. The groovy opening set by DJ Poolside provided a seamless transition into LCD Soundsystem’s percussion-based show, which the band peppered with mid-tempo funk hits primarily from its 2017 album, American Dream, and 2010’s This Is Happening.

Frontman James Murphy cradled his microphone like a lifeline during the band’s riveting performance of “Get Innocuous!”

Clad in disheveled attire that made him look like he was late for a job At the S.B. Bowl, interview, Murphy made Thu., May 3. clear his unsentimental attitude as he directed the audience toward the digital clock counting down the minutes the group had left to perform. “See, we’re going to perform until that clock hits zero,” he said. “We’re going to take a little break in the middle—you know, for bathroom purposes — and come back and perform three more songs for you.”

Formed in Brooklyn, New York, LCD Soundsystem fills the stage with its eightmember group that includes Murphy, Pat M a h o n e y, N a n c y Whang, Tyler Pope, Al Doyle, Gavin Rayna Russom, Matt Thornley, and Korey Richey. The band was keen on showcasing its music rather than engaging in nonsensical stage banter; it was here to execute a lively performance and instrumentally pinpoint why its songs have garnered legendary status. The buildup in various tunes, such as the electric deep cut “Tonite” and anthemic “Daft Punk Is Playing at My House,” roared with the boot stomping and hand clapping of twentysomethings.

Saving the best for last, LCD Soundsystem packed a punch with its final song trifecta, enticing people to stand up from their sitting positions. The light show accompanying the thundering “Dance Yrself Clean” illuminated the night in dazzling reds, supplementing the spastic energy building by the three-minute mark of the band’s greatest hit.

YARDBIRDS ’68

T

he Yardbirds rank among the top ’60s British bands, having first boasted guitar god Eric Clapton, followed by Jeff Beck and finally Jimmy Page as its virtuoso axmen. By 1968, Page was front and center in moving the group in a more experimental, heavy, and psychedelic direction — along with its founding members, vocalist Keith Relf, dynamo drummer Jim McCarty, and ace bassist Chris Dreja. This double album has Page’s remixed recording of the band live at the Anderson Theater in New York, plus studio sketches. Shapes of things to come can be heard in The Yardies’ embryonic versions of “Dazed and Confused” and “White Summer,” which Page would revisit to huge success with Led Zeppelin. Fifty years on, Yardbirds ’68 is still epic.

THE BABY DANCE: MIXED

O

ne understands a playwright’s temptation to revisit, and revise, an early hit. But this impulse comes with a big risk: What if the original material isn’t salvageable? That’s the case with The Baby Dance, Jane Anderson’s 1990 drama, which is currently being staged by Ventura’s Rubicon Theatre in what it calls a “Mixed” version. It concerns a well-off but infertile Los Angeles couple that arranges to adopt the soon-to-be-born baby of an economically struggling husband and wife in rural Louisiana. Not surprisingly, they find there is a gaping cultural gulf between them, and their mutual suspicions and misunderstandings soon put the arrangement in jeopardy.

Anderson has done fine, subtle work, including the teleplay for HBO’s Olive Kitteridge. But her play At the Rubicon here is marred by shock-value violent outbursts, plot Theatre, Sat., twists that come across as dramatic contrivances, and May 5. Shows through May 20. one-dimensional characters who can be summed up in a single word. Wanda, the birth mother, is resigned; Regina, the adoptive mom, is desperate; and both of their husbands feel emasculated. Jenny Sullivan’s production boasts some fine performances —Krystle Rose Simmons and Gabriel Lawrence are outstanding as the working-class couple—but the actors are playing types, not individuals.

For this revision, Anderson has added race to the mix, making the working-class couple and the upper-class woman African American. That choice seems retrograde—by this point, shouldn’t stories about people of color be told by writers of color?—and also oddly irrelevant. The Baby Dance isn’t really about race or class: It’s about gender, and its portrayal of both men and women is disappointingly reductive.

(108 mins., R)

Marvel’s experiment in adult-portion superhero moviemaking is an almost pure success. Brash, sexual, vulgar, and extremely violent, the film, which stars Ryan Reynolds as a manufactured mutant with a very bad attitude and a very sharp wit, gets past its own gory excesses with self-referential jokes and fanboy-friendly pop-culture references.

It does pander to audiences that liked Kick-Ass, but the film’s pace is the star, brilliantly mixing origin story with revenge tale. It’s decidedly not for kids, though. (DJP)

(97 mins., NR)

This illuminating and warm hearted doc about longstanding Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg opens with a lovely swatch of Italian opera and then the noxious sound of

PRESENTED BY Tully conservative mouthpiece Sean Hannity’s voice saying, “This witch, this evil-doer, this monster … She has no respect for the traditions of our constitution …

That woman’s a zombie.” By contrast, Gloria Steinem states simply, “She’s the closest thing to a superhero that I know.”

Directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen blend archival and modern footage to capture the diminutive, deceptively calm powerhouse—aka her rapper handle, “Notorious RBG”—in midstream, still going strong and adhering to her critical left position at age 85. The Brooklynite met her husband, Marty Ginsburg (d.

2010), in college in the ’50s. He was one of her biggest supporters, from her early years fighting against a gender-biased legal world to the equal-rights-geared cases she brought to the Supreme Court in the ’70s to her appointment to that body by Bill Clinton in 1993. As the court has leaned evermore to the right, Ginsburg has become a fiercer dissenting voice on the bench and, in terms of pop culture — including Kate McKinnon’s imitation of her on Saturday Night Live — she has “become a rock star, and she loves it,” according to one of the film’s many interviewees.

Among the doc’s highlights: Ginsburg’s friendship with conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, a segment on her damnation of Trump (and subsequent apology), and the general sense of getting inside the story of a remarkable, opera-loving seeker of justice — who happens to be a woman. (JW) Riviera

a&e | FILM & TV CONT’D FROM P. 67

Avengers: Infinity War Zhao’s film follows a young rodeo cowboy who, after suffering a massive head injury, must reevaluate his life and what it means to him to be a man in Midwest America.

The Hitchcock

she is miraculously imbued with the belief that she is the most beautiful, capable woman on the planet. Michelle Williams, Busy Philipps, and Emily Ratajkowski also star.

Camino Real/Fiesta 5

NOW SHOWING

O Isle of Dogs

Avengers: Infinity War (149 mins., PG-13)

In this sequel to Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, StarLord, Captain America, Black Widow, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, SpiderMan, and many more from the Marvel Universe come together to take down Thanos (Josh Brolin), a despot from Titan who comes to Earth looking for the infinity stones, which will give him power over all worlds.

Arlington (2D)/Camino Real (2D)/ Metro 4 (2D & 3D)

Bad Samaritan (110 mins., R) Two burglars rob the home of a wealthy man, only to discover a woman bound and gagged inside. When they turn to the cops, the psychopathic owner, played by David Tennant, unleashes his fury on them in this thriller by director Dean Devlin. Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

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

(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) Paseo Nuevo

Lives Well Lived (72 mins., NR) Sky Bergman’s documentary captures the life stories of more than 40 people aged 70 and up.

Paseo Nuevo Overboard (112 mins., PG-13) This remake of a 1987 comedy concerns a working-class mother of three (Anna Faris) who’s cleaning the yacht of a Mexican playboy (Eugenio Derbez).

When he falls off the boat after firing her, he awakes with no memory, so she convinces him that they are married and leads him into a life of manual labor. How long can she keep the ruse alive?

Fairview/Fiesta 5

O A Quiet Place

I Feel Pretty I Feel Pretty (110 mins., PG-13) Amy Schumer is back on the big screen in this comedy about an insecure woman, Renee (Schumer), who falls and hits her head. When she awakens,

(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 of which gives a strong sense of believability to the hauntingly realistic performances. A Quiet Place has reinvigorated modern thriller storytelling, hopefully putting to rest lazy jump-scare tactics and ushering in the return of creativity and suspense in horror. (NS) Camino Real/Fiesta 5 Rampage (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 genealtering 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 guiltypleasure film, an entertainment entrée that soothes our temporary hunger for action. (JR) Metro 4

O ➤ Tully

(96 mins., R)

Tully’s movie poster shows Charlize Theron as Marlo, a frazzled mother of two — with a third child on the way — covered in stickers. The unglamorous image accurately depicts screenwriter Diablo Cody and director Jason Reitman’s exploration of the complexities of motherhood. The movie does well creating three-dimensional characters; Theron as Marlo delivers an Oscar-worthy turn, illuminating the obstacles of postpartum depression and the emotional distress of everyday life. Even when Marlo gets help in the form of a night nanny, Tully (Mackenzie Davis), she is reluctant to relinquish any childrearing duties. Meanwhile, her husband checks out of the equation by playing video games. Tully is a sincere narrative detailing what women already know: Despite their needing help with the overwhelming load that is motherhood, that help can be difficult to find and accept. (JR) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF MAY 10 CAPRICORN

ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The Torah is a primary sacred text of the Jewish religion. It consists of exactly 304,805 letters. When specially trained scribes make handwritten copies for ritual purposes, they must not make a single error in their transcription. The work may take as long as 18 months. Your attention to detail in the coming weeks doesn’t have to be quite so painstaking, Aries, but I hope you’ll make a strenuous effort to be as diligent as you can possibly be.

(June 21-July 22): “Paradise is scattered over the whole earth,” wrote the scientific poet Novalis, “and that is why it has become so unrecognizable.” Lucky for you, Cancerian, quite a few fragments of paradise are gathering in your vicinity. It’ll be like a big, happy reunion of tiny miracles all coalescing to create a substantial dose of sublimity. Will you be ready to deal with this much radiance? Will you be receptive to so much relaxing freedom? I hope and pray you won’t make a cowardly retreat into the trendy cynicism that so many people mistake for intelligence. (Because in that case, paradise might remain invisible.) Here’s my judicious advice: Be insistent on pleasure! Be voracious for joy! Be focused on the quest for beautiful truths!

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Vincent van Gogh’s painting “The Starry Night” hangs on a wall in New York’s Museum of Modern Art. He created it in 1889 while living in a French asylum. Around that same time, 129 years ago, a sheepherder in Wyoming created a sourdough starter that is still fresh today. A cook named Lucille Clarke Dumbrill regularly pulls this frothy mass of yeast out of her refrigerator and uses it to make pancakes. In the coming weeks, Libra, I’d love to see you be equally resourceful in drawing on an old resource. The past will have offerings that could benefit your future.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a favorable time to discuss in elegant detail the semi-secret things that are rarely or never talked about. It’s also a perfect moment to bring deep feelings and brave tenderness into situations that have been suffering from half-truths and pretense. Be aggressively sensitive, my dear Capricorn.

Take a bold stand on behalf of compassionate candor.

And as you go about these holy tasks, be entertaining as well as profound. The cosmos has authorized you to be a winsome agent of change.

SCORPIO

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his 1931 painting “The Persistence of Memory,” Salvador Dalí shows three clocks that seem to be partially liquefied, as if in the process of melting. His biographer Meredith EtheringtonSmith speculated that he was inspired to create this surrealistic scene when he saw a slab of warm Camembert cheese melting on a dinner table. I foresee the possibility of a comparable development in your life, Aquarius. Be alert for creative inspiration that strikes you in the midst of seemingly mundane circumstances.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Born under the sign of Taurus, Edmund Wilson was a renowned 20th-century author and critic who wrote more than 30 books. He also served as editor for Vanity Fair and The New Republic and influenced the work of at least seven major American novelists. When he was growing up, he spent most of his free time reading books: 16 hours a day during summer vacations. His parents, worried about his obsessive passion, bought him a baseball uniform, hoping to encourage him to diversify his interests. His response was to wear the uniform while reading books 16 hours a day. I trust you will be equally dedicated to your own holy cause or noble pursuit in the coming weeks, Taurus. You have cosmic clearance to be singleminded about doing what you love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s possible you could pass for normal in the next three weeks; you might be able to fool a lot of people into thinking you’re an average, ordinary contributor to the dull routine. But it will be far healthier for your relationship with yourself if you don’t do such a thing. It will also be a gift to your less daring associates, who in my opinion would benefit from having to engage with your creative agitation and fertile chaos. So my advice is to reveal yourself as an imperfect work in progress who’s experimenting with novel approaches to the game of life. Recognize your rough and raw features as potential building blocks for future achievements.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): These days, your friends and allies and loved ones want even more from you than they usually do. They crave more of your attention, more of your approval, more of your feedback. And that’s not all. Your friends and allies and loved ones also hope you will give more love to yourself. They will be excited and they will feel blessed if you express an even bigger, brighter version of your big, bright soul. They will draw inspiration from your efforts to push harder and stronger to fulfill your purpose here on Planet Earth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One of the advantages you get from reading my horoscopes is that I offer confidential information about the gods’ caprices and leanings.

For example, I can tell you that Saturn — also known as Father Time — is now willing to allot you a more luxurious relationship with time than usual, on one condition: that you don’t squander the gift on trivial pursuits. So I encourage you to be discerning and disciplined about nourishing your soul’s craving for interesting freedom. If you demonstrate to Saturn how constructively you can use his blessing, he’ll be inclined to provide more dispensations in the future.

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Love everyone twice as much and twice as purely as you ever have before. Your mental health requires it! Your future dreams demand it! And please especially intensify your love for people you allegedly already love but sometimes don’t treat as well as you could because you take them for granted.

Keep this Bible verse in mind, as well: “Don’t neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.”

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): After meditating on your astrological aspects for an hour, I dozed off. As I napped, I had a dream in which an androgynous angel came to me and said, “Please inform your Sagittarius readers that they should be callipygian in the next two weeks.”

Taken aback, my dreaming self said to the angel,“You mean ‘callipygian’ as in ‘having beautiful buttocks’?”

“Yes, sir,” the angel replied. “Bootylicious. Bumtastic.

Rumpalicious.” I was puzzled. “You mean like in a metaphorical way?” I asked. “You mean Sagittarians should somehow cultivate the symbolic equivalent of having beautiful buttocks?”“Yes,” the angel said.“Sagittarians should be elegantly well-grounded. Flaunt their exquisite foundation. Get to the bottom of things with flair. Be sexy badasses as they focus on the basics.”

“OK!” I said.

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “My whole life is messed up with people falling in love with me,” said Piscean poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. She spoke the truth. She inspired a lot of adoration, and it stirred up more chaos than she was capable of managing. Luckily, you will have fewer problems with the attention coming your way, Pisces. I bet you’ll be skilled at gathering the benefits, and you’ll be unflummoxed by the pitfalls. But you’ll still have to work hard at these tasks. Here’s some help. Tip #1: Stay in close touch with how you really feel about the people who express their interest in you. Tip #2: Don’t accept gifts with strings attached. Tip #3: Just because you’re honored or flattered that someone finds you attractive doesn’t mean you should unquestioningly blend your energies with them.

LEGALS ADMINISTER OF ESTATE FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME STATEMENT NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: Jeroen Peter Koornwinder Case No.: 18PR00188 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of Jeroen Peter Koornwinder.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: Diane Koornwinder in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara.

THE PETITION for probate requests that: Diane Koornwinder be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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: 05/31/2018 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.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Planning Commission May 21, 2018; 6:00 p.m.

Cannabis Land Use Ordinance NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Goleta Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider a Resolution recommending to the City Council adoption of a Cannabis Land Use Ordinance (Case No: 18-035-ORD). The date, time, and location of the public hearing are set forth below.

HEARING DATE AND TIME: PLACE:

Monday, May 21, 2018, at 6:00 P.M. City of Goleta, Council Chambers 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, California 93117

PROJECT LOCATION: The regulations would apply citywide, including areas of the City within the Coastal Zone.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: With the passing of Proposition 64 by California voters in 2016, recreational adult-use cannabis became legal beginning in 2018.

In response to Proposition 64, the state adopted Senate Bill 94 in 2017, which outlines a state regulatory system for the various commercial activities associated with the legalization. As part of the state regulatory scheme, local jurisdictions may prohibit or allow various cannabis uses outlined in state law and, if they allow them, identify appropriate locations for and restrictions on those uses. Currently, the City has a ban on cannabis businesses; allows for indoor and outdoor personal cannabis cultivation; and allows for cannabis deliveries to be made in Goleta, but delivery businesses cannot be in Goleta. The City is considering a cannabis land use ordinance that would allow for, and regulate, various cannabis business types and activities throughout the City. The cannabis land use ordinance includes sections addressing: • Definitions and Use Classifications – These sections include definitions for words used in the ordinance and the definitions of the various uses allowed under the Draft Ordinance.

• Personal Cultivation – State law requires the City to allow cultivation for personal use.

• Allowed Cannabis Uses – Each proposed allowable cannabis use is included and where each use is allowed, the permit path is indicated. City staff developed these allowances based on the land use designations in the City’s General Plan Land Use Element.

• Accessory Uses – The Accessory Uses section allows for multiple cannabis uses at one location as long as the primary use is allowed in that land use designation and that the other cannabis uses are clearly subordinate to that primary use.

• Specific Use Standards – This section identifies specific standards that apply to all cannabis uses and to each use type.

• Permit Procedures – This section provides the permit path for each cannabis use. For all but storefront retail, a Land Use Permit/Coastal Development Permit is proposed.

• Inspection, Revocation, and Enforcement – These sections include the right to inspection for City staff and other agencies and includes references to existing zoning regulations related to permit revocation and enforcement.

The Draft Ordinance also repeals previous City regulations that prohibited cannabis businesses from locating within the City and regulated personal cannabis cultivation.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) City staff drafted an Addendum to the City’s General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan 2006 Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR), 2009 Supplemental EIR, and subsequent addenda. The Addendum did not identify any new impacts not identified in the previous CEQA documents.

DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: The staff report may be obtained at the City of Goleta, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117. The documents will be posted on the City’s web site at www.cityofgoleta.org at least 72 hours ahead of the meeting.

PUBLIC COMMENT: All interested persons are encouraged to attend the public hearing and to present written and/or oral comments. All letters should be addressed to Andy Newkirk, Senior Planner, Planning and Environmental Review Department, City of Goleta, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117. Letters must be received by the Planning and Environmental Review Department on or before the date of the hearing, or public comment can be submitted at the hearing.
