In Memory of

Georgetta (Graham) Craviotto Georgetta was born on August 17, 1924 in Queen of Angel’s Hospital, Los Angeles,

California, the daughter of Howard Graham and Ursula (Maloney) Graham. She attended St. Ignatius Catholic High School in Highland Park, and in her junior year, after her father was tragically killed while painting L.A.’s downtown bus station, she relocated to Santa Barbara to live with her aunt and uncle, Irene (Graham) O’Gorman and Walter O’Gorman, manager of the Lei Lani Room at the Californian Hotel.

Graduating from Santa Barbara High School in 1943, she first worked at the Barbara Hotel before taking a job at Lyons Van & Storage. It was after the war, when walking home on her lunch breaks every day, that she passed Craviotto Brothers Ironworks, where a darkly handsome veteran G.I. always seemed to be polishing his car to attract her attention. It worked. She married Charlie Craviotto on July 31, 1949, and they had fifty-five years together, until his passing in 2004. They were blessed with two children, Darlene and Jim, two grandchildren, Josh Levien and Katie (Levien) Babineau, and a great-grandson, Stokely Olivier Levien.

Georgetta was kind-hearted and generous, with a loving touch for babies, animals, and anyone in need, a strong woman who never shied away from hard work. She loved her garden and singlehandedly landscaped her 3/4 of an acre - lugging wheelbarrows of rocks by herself, rocks so heavy that her father-in-law, a man who spent a lifetime lifting heavy iron, quit after lugging only several loads, remarking to his son, “You’ve got a strong woman there!”

Born a Leo and proud of it, Georgetta had the will of a lioness and the strength to back it up. She answered to many names - Georgetta, Mom, Getta, Molly Malone on March 17th, and “George” when Dad would say, “George, get me a beer!” She loved her family, enjoyed cooking, and baking the many dozens of her amazing Christmas cookies; reading “her novels” was a passion, celebrating St Paddy’s Day made her smile; she was famous for her wicked Mai-Tais, and See’s Candy was never far from her reach (nuts and chews, along with those incredible chocolate suckers).

In addition to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandson, she leaves behind a sister-in-law, Carmen Arguedas Craviotto; nieces Eileen Craviotto (Velasco), Cathleen Craviotto, and their families; nephews, Dan Craviotto (Carol), John Craviotto (Lori) and their families; Marcella Craviotto, and the rest of the Craviotto extended family here in Santa Barbara and afar. Also, a niece, Nancy Graham Walper, and two other nephews, Tony Graham, and Gary Graham (Shirley) and his family. Georgetta also leaves behind her son-in-law, Philip Levien, along with her granddaughter-in-law, Simone (Wyrick) Levien, and her grandson-in-law, Jason Babineau.

Our gratitude to Rosemarie Harris, Bill and Julie McGeever of Heritage House and all of its compassionate staff of caregivers, and to Assisted Hospice Care for their tenderness and understanding. A special thanks to Livia Ortega, mom’s personal caregiver whose loving support these past few years was a constant source of comfort to mom during a difficult stage in her life. And also thanks to Maricela Cardona for her dedication and always being there for mom.

We will miss Getta’s spirit, her passion, her wit, her tenacity, her glorious red hair and those smiling Irish eyes. Sometimes life is a wheelbarrow of rocks, but you’ve got to just keep moving it along. Thanks for teaching us, Mom. A Celebration Of Georgetta’s Life was held Sunday, May 13, 2018 at McDermott-Crockett Mortuary. Funeral Mass took place Monday, May 14, 2018 at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, please remember The Alzheimer’s Association to promote research for Lewy body dementia.

For our copy desk intern, Nicole Kludjian, the end of UCSB’s spring quarter concludes a two-and-a-half-year stint with SexInfo Online, where she’s been editor in chief. She landed the gig after taking John and Janice Baldwin’s Sociology of Human Sexuality. Explained Nicole, “Soc 152A is one of those classes everyone takes. It’s taught by an adorable older couple who talk about sex in the most accessible way.” To the most common question asked at SexInfo — “Am I pregnant?” — Nicole advises, “Get a pregnancy test, understand that pre-cum can contain active sperm, invest in birth control, and always be aware of STIs/STDs.”

Auditor-Controller: Betsy Schaffer

PAU L WELLM AN PHOTOS

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This is the only open seat genuinely up for grabs on the June ballot.

Neither of the two candidates vying for the spot is an incumbent.

Of the two, we’re confident Betsy Schaffer has the technical qualifications, experience, and temperament needed to run and lead this vitally important—if politically obscure and decidedly unsexy —office of county government. For starters, Schaffer is the only candidate in the race who is a certified public accountant, having worked as one the past 26 years. Given that the office is all about keeping track of how county funds are actually spent, this seems a minimal, if critical, qualification. For the past two years, Schaffer has functioned as second in command in the Auditor-Controller’s office. She’s worked her way up through the office, taken jobs with the City of Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara City College, and then come back. Schaffer is quiet and self-effacing, so we initially worried she might be too soft-spoken to handle so public a position, especially one where the buck so famously stops. We’ve since been persuaded she embodies the right mix of steel and mohair to become an effective leader and community collaborator.

BriAn OLMStEAD for Santa BarBara County Sheriff “As Sheriff, I will focus on issues in our County: • Preventing crime • Reducing response time • Disaster preparedness • Meeting the needs of the mentally ill and people in crisis.”

State Assembly 37th District: Monique Limón

Only nominally can this be called a race. With two years in the statehouse under her belt, incumbent Monique Limón is facing off against two little-known fellow Democrats from Ventura County. No Republican is running. One can understand why. In her first Assembly term, Limón has distinguished herself as an exceptionally hard worker who has already been fast-tracked for leadership positions. When it comes to both rhetoric and legislation, Limón adheres to the “measure twice, cut once” approach.

Not a flag waver by inclination, Limón typically waits for every last-minute change before committing herself to most bills. She’s been independent, breaking with the governor on notable occasion, and not averse to taking stands unpopular with the activist wing of the party. She refused to support a single-payer health-care plan—citing its unsupportable, huge price tag—disappointing those Democrats who saw single-payer politics as the strategic response to Trump’s effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act. While in Sacramento, Limón has been especially attentive to the needs of local elected officials. With the monumental rebuilding challenges in the aftermath of this year’s natural disasters, the district desperately needs someone with Limón’s clout, connections, and know-how in the State Capitol. Likewise, her firsthand familiarity with education policy and funding issues—she served two terms on the Santa Barbara school board—ground her in some of the key issues that matter most.

Attorney General: Xavier Becerra

Both candidates vying for this position are more than qualified; both have distinguished themselves throughout their careers. But during his one year on the job—appointed by Governor Jerry Brown to the fill the vacancy created when Kamala Harris was elected to the U.S. Senate — Xavier Becerra has impressed us greatly. Whether it’s on immigration rights, the environment, or access to health care, Becerra has used his office to wage legal warfare against the dangerously retrograde policies pushed by the White House. To date, Becerra has filed more than 30 lawsuits against the Trump administration, prevailing in more than a dozen. The child of Mexican immigrants, Becerra was the first in his family to graduate from college and certainly the first to be elected to public office. Prior to his appointment last year, Becerra had served in Congress since 1993. Should Becerra win, we’re confident he can continue to lead the resistance and to address more of the traditional duties of the post.

His opponent, Dave Jones, has been exemplary as state insurance commissioner, showing up in person many times in the South Coast’s extended hour of need. We regret Jones will no longer be insurance commissioner. But we urge a vote for Xavier Becerra for attorney general.

NEWS BRIEFS GOLETA Incumbent Paula Perotte has joined November’s election to be mayor of Goleta. So far, her only challenger is Councilmember Michael Bennett. “I’m for very carefully managed growth that is in keeping with Goleta’s unique character and our General Plan protections,” said Perotte, known for her work to preserve Bishop Ranch and refusal to approve General Plan amendments. She is endorsed by the Democratic Central Committee, and her supporters include supervisors Janet Wolf and Joan Hartmann and Goleta councilmembers Stuart Kasdin and Kyle Richards.

260 Guns Headed for Melting Pot S

anta Barbara’s fourth annual gun buyback (pictured), held May 12 at Earl Warren Showgrounds, drew a long line of cars waiting along Calle Real—earlymorning participants waiting to exchange firearms for $100 and $200 gift cards. As expected, the event fielded plenty of older firearms that have been collecting dust for years. Ron Ungerer turned over his father-in-law’s WWII rifle.“I don’t use guns and don’t have guns otherwise,” he said. Ungerer’s story resonated with the majority of the event’s participants, while the buyback also attracts gun enthusiasts such as Bill Hordle, who drove up from Oxnard. Hordle turned in two old bolt-action rifles and one semi-

automatic 22-caliber rifle. He came for the gift cards, he said. “I can’t get $100 for them [the guns] otherwise … and to make room

for newer guns.” There was also a dad who was sad to part with his three firearms; but he has a 17-year-old at home who he said is dangerous.

Santa Barbara Police Sergeant Riley Harwood reported 260 firearms collected this year and $23,000 worth of gift cards distributed. The guns collected are transported to Long Beach and melted down, he said. All told, the buyback events, which are co-sponsored by the Coalition Against Gun Violence, have removed 885 firearms from community circulation.

Because of budget cuts, police department officers trade in or sell their decommissioned weapons to manufacturers and wholesale dealers, which often sell to the public. When asked if the department is concerned about their guns ending up in the wrong hands, Harwood said, “No more so than any other firearm being legally transferred.”

f this week’s skirmish over dead ani-

Bankruptcy Judge Deborah Saltzman’s decision last week to ask La Casa de la Raza for an order to show cause puts its bankruptcy and attempt to sell its iconic building in peril. The nonprofit hoped to put its East Montecito Street building on the market for $5.5 million to extricate itself from a mire of debt.

Whether its board of directors can navigate the pending dismissal of the bankruptcy will be the focus of the next hearing on 7/17.

LAW & DISORDER Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested 18 people and seized more than 3,000 pounds of marijuana after multiple vehicles were stopped leaving the beach area near Arroyo Quemada Lane, just west of Refugio.

The cars were carrying 120 large bales of marijuana that had been unloaded from a panga boat beached nearby.

A 17-year-old Santa Barbara High School student was found dead near the Santa Barbara Harbor Tuesday, the victim of an apparent suicide. The student had reportedly filled his backpack with rocks, which made him too heavy for a couple of Good Samaritans to extricate him from the water. High school officials notified the student body of his death, offering grief counselors to those who ask.

District Attorney Joyce Dudley has filed four counts of first-degree murder against Joseph James DeAngelo, the alleged Golden State Killer. Two counts are for the murders of Cheri Domingo and Greg Sanchez on July 27, 1981, in Domingo’s Goleta home, where both were bludgeoned to death. The other two counts are for the murders of Dr. Debra Alexandria Manning and Dr. Robert Offerman on December 30, 1979; the couple was found shot in their Goleta home. Each count carries multiple allegations and the possibility of life without parole or the death penalty.

ELECTIONS New voters, newly turned 18-year-olds, and those who have moved to a new residence have until the end of the day on May 21 to register to vote. Voters dislocated by recent natural disasters can keep their old address if they plan to move back, though the county advises voters with a temporary address to update their registration to ensure they receive all voting materials, including ballots. More information is available at registertovote.ca.gov.

Brown said tax collectors reaped a budget surplus of $9 billion, about $3 billion more than projected.

COUNTY It’s business as usual for short-term rentals (STRs) along the unincorporated coast in Santa Barbara County. Last week, the California Coastal Commission rejected the county’s new ordinance where it falls within the coastal zone. The new law aims to ban so-called vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods and agricultural parcels. In recent years, the commission has maintained that STRs can provide more affordable lodging options for coastal visitors.

Members of the Gaviota Coast Planning Advisory Committee (GavPAC) are getting the band back together, so to speak, to address a list of modifications that the California Coastal Commission has made to the group’s Gaviota Coast Plan, a long-range planning document approved by county supervisors in 2016 after seven years of stakeholder input. Essentially, commission staffers want closer oversight of farming and ranching

operations — particularly near creeks and endangered-species habitat — and would require permits for activities exempted in the plan.

County supervisors on Tuesday voted to withdraw the plan, address commission concerns at a 7/3 GavPAC workshop, and resubmit the document for commission review in August.

The start of 2018’s high season for wildfires means all burn permits are suspended and staffing grows at fire stations countywide. Fire chiefs established the 5/14 start date based on rain totals, fuel levels, and long-range weather forecasts; it has varied over the decade from as early as April to as late as June. Last year, a total of 112 wildland fires broke out in the county, with about half close to a road or highway and 86 percent held to less than 10 acres. Visit sbcfire.com for more on fire safety.

The rate of sexually transmitted diseases continued to climb in Santa Barbara County between 2016 and 2017, a new compilation from the state Department of Public Health revealed. The number of cases of nearly all tracked infections rose markedly — chlamydia (from 2,306 in 2016 to 2,458 in 2017), gonorrhea (323 to 377), primary and secondary syphilis (26 to 36), and total early syphilis (53 to 74) — reflecting statewide increases. However, the incidences of syphilis in women ages 15-44 decreased in the county, as did the number of infants born with congenital syphilis. In the state, both markers rose by 2-3 n percent.

THE LONG ROAD TO RECOVERY: Supervisors voted unanimously to remove hurdles for owners looking to rebuild homes in the wake of the 1/9 Debris Flow.

Fast-Track Permitting for Montecito

County Supervisors Streamline Rules for Debris-Flow Victims

by Melinda Burns he County Board of Supervisors this week cleared away the red tape for Montecito property owners seeking to rebuild what they lost in the catastrophic debris flow of January 9.

Voting 5-0 on Tuesday, the board said that no design review or zoning permits would be required of Montecitans who propose to build back essentially the same house, garage, or guest home that they owned before the disaster — a proposal known as “like-for-like.” They would need only building permits, which do not require notice to neighbors and cannot be appealed.

The “like-for like” exemptions for debrisflow victims will go into effect on June 14.

They will apply even if replacement homes have to be elevated because of mud on the property, or relocated elsewhere on a lot because a nearby creek has changed course.

The county requires a 50-foot creek setback for new homes.

“People have to move to a safe place,” said Board Chair Das Williams, who represents Montecito and authored some of the fasttrack exemptions. “Any process that takes a year and a half really endangers the ability of the community to get back to their lives.”

The new rules will allow debris-flow victims to increase the height of like-for-like structures by 10 percent without design review or zoning permits, not counting any increases in elevation because of mud deposits or revised floodwater elevations.

The height will be measured from the “lowest finished floor” to the peak of the roof, the board said. “We do not want to force people to remove the mud,” Williams said.

More than 200 homes and 100 garages, guesthouses, and other structures were destroyed or badly damaged and have not yet been repaired. Most property owners are waiting for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to release a recovery map in June before applying for permits. The map will delineate new floodwater elevations for the community based on topogra-

phy changed by the massive rivers of mud and boulders on January 9.

On Tuesday, the board brushed aside requests by the Montecito Association, a homeowners’ group, and the Montecito Planning Commission, an advisory group, to delay their vote until after the FEMA map is released next month.

These two groups and the County Planning Commission also had asked the board to require design review by the Montecito Board of Architectural Review for any proposed changes in the exterior design of rebuilt structures. Such checks and balances, they said, would allow neighbors to talk to each other and mutually address their concerns about privacy, views, noise, and even sunlight.

But the supervisors wanted less, not more, red tape for debris-flow victims. On Tuesday, they said design review would be required only if the exterior design of a proposed structure was “substantially different” from what had been lost in the disaster.

A number of Montecitans who lost their homes told the board that the uncertainty of rebuilding was hard to handle. “I definitely appreciate your willingness to be flexible and not delay the process any longer,” said John Keating, whose house exploded and lit up the sky before dawn when the debris flow ruptured a gas line.

“That light in the darkness gave our family a way to find a path out of our house,” Maggie Geyer of East Valley Road told Keating. Geyer urged the board not to “add another layer” of review on top of everything else. “Every day we have to wake up and find something positive,” she said. “Debris removal is very, very hard.”

Supervisor Janet Wolf recalled the difficulties her family faced after their home burned down in 1990’s Painted Cave Fire.

Wolf said she wanted to remove any “glitches along the way” for Montecito residents who wanted to rebuild. “It was important for us to get back to some sense of normalcy,”Wolf said. “You just don’t want roadblocks.” n

of Pascucci, who pays $1,000 a day to rent her restaurant space. Byrne said while she understands the free-market argument for why State Street rents are so astronomically high, she wondered, “Do we need to go derelict” before price and demand even out? Byrne also said she’s heard from renters forced to pay 20-30 percent above market rate to stay on State Street.

The next step for City Hall, explained assistant city manager Nina Johnson after the event, is to compile all the input it has received from similar stakeholder gettogethers and create a strategic action plan.

The City Council will need to weigh in on the language and format of that plan, Johnson explained.

According to this year’s UCSB Economic Forecast Project report, released last week, taxable retail sales increased everywhere in the county except in the cities of Santa Bar-

bara and Carpinteria, where they dropped 1.1 and 3.5 percent, respectively.

The latest Hayes Commercial Group quarterly report highlighted two major sales of large retail properties: the purchase of the Macy’s building by the owners of Paseo Nuevo mall for an estimated $12 million and the acquisition of the Saks Off 5th building by an unnamed local investor for $18.5 million.

Hayes predicted the Macy’s space will be turned into “entertainment-oriented retail and dining to complement the mall’s new image as ‘destination retail.’” A separate source stated housing will be developed in the Saks Off 5th building. Hayes also said in its report: “The Marshalls building at 900 State St and the Urban Outfitters building at 624 State St are prominent downtown retail properties with national tenants that n are trying to attract buyers.”

presented updates Monday on the soon-to-be-decommissioned Ellwood oil fields off Goleta’s coast. Venoco filed for bankruptcy just over a year ago, and the commission is chipping away at closing facilities the oil company once operated —the Ellwood Onshore Facility petroleum processing plant, two oil wells at Ellwood Beach Piers 421, and 30 oil wells at Platform Holly. One audience member fired off an audible expletive when Seth Blackmon, an agency lawyer, shared ExxonMobil’s upward estimate for abandoning the facilities: $348 million. As a former operator there, ExxonMobil agreed to close the 32 wells itself and fund much of that work, though the exact figure remains unknown. Another $22 million will come from a Venoco bond.

California’s most recent budget also puts as much as $58 million toward closing these wells.

Environmental groups held a rally opposing offshore drilling before the meeting, and though they were excited to see

less drilling on the Santa Barbara coast, they were frustrated at the cost of abandoning the facilities. Goleta City Councilmember Kyle Richards didn’t think Venoco’s $22 million contribution to the project was fair: “Unfortunately, that’s a drop in the oil barrel,” he said. The costs aren’t just a matter of closing the old wells — because Venoco stopped operating Platform Holly in 2015 after the Refugio Oil Spill, there’s outstanding maintenance to be done.

“Things that sit out in the ocean tend to rot,” said Jeff Planck, technical lead for the project. After improving beach roads for service equipment, the two wells at Piers 421 are slated to be filled with concrete by the end of 2018. Refurbishing Platform Holly’s rig will take longer; the commission hopes to start shutting down those wells in early 2019.

Since wells contain naturally pressurized oil, they’ll also have to be bled out before being cemented over. It’s not clear how long that will take. In the past, releasing the pressure of a single well has taken anywhere from 24 —Menaka Wilhelm hours to 10 months.

Sessions Tightens Immigration Policy “S

essions’s directive to separate children from their parents is an unnecessarily cruel addition,” commented Congressmember Salud Carbajal on the new “zero-tolerance” immigration policy recently announced by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The policy will separate parents from children rather than keeping them together in detention centers. Sessions also intends to prosecute 100 percent of individuals crossing the border illegally. Parents will be sent to federal court, while children will be sent to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement, where close to 1,500 migrant children went missing last year after federal officials placed them in homes. Previously, people caught would be returned to their native countries after pleading guilty. Now, individuals could face up to six months in prison.

Ric Oberlink, executive director of the anti-immigrant group Californians for Population Stabilization, believes the U.S. needs to continue stepping up enforcement to deter illegal immigration. While he does acknowledge that children should

be treated humanely, he added, “Having them with their parents during criminal proceedings may not be humane either.”

Congressmember Carbajal added that “indiscriminately prosecuting immigrants not only diverts limited federal resources from going after serious criminals like drug traffickers and cartels but also violates our nation’s treaty obligations on asylum seekers.”

While these policies are targeted at immigrants actively crossing the border, they contribute to the already hostile anti-immigrant rhetoric of the Trump administration and are likely to affect an already fearful immigrant community. Diane Martinez, director of Immigrant Hope, worries the community’s fear will keep them from seeking help, she said. “We don’t want them to be where we were a year ago, when people weren’t accessing the services out of fear.” Martinez encourages undocumented and mixed-status families to have emergency preparedness plans and visit an accredited center for immigration and legal services.

A Shrinking Number of Shrinks

n response to the worldwide and nationwide shortage of psychiatrists, Santa Barbara County’s Department of Behavioral Wellness is increasingly relying on temporary psychiatrists. Currently, 4.5 of the county’s psychiatrists are full-time civil service employees and 13 are temporary employees.

Three years ago, Behavioral Wellness had 7.5 permanent psychiatrists on its payroll.

The temp workers sign up for a minimum of three-month shifts. Six-month stints are preferable, said Ole Behrendsten, head of Outpatient Services for Behavioral Wellness, and a year is ideal.

The county pays up to $240 an hour for temporary psychiatric services; that works out to slightly more than the $400,000 a year full-time shrinks are paid (with wages, benefits, and insurance — none of which are available to temp psychiatrists). Three years ago, the county spent $2.7 million for

temporary psychiatrists; the year after that, $4.3 million; and this year, the number is closer to $5 million. Patient advocates have expressed concern that discontinuity of treatment caused problems for Behavioral Wellness clients. Behrendsten acknowledged discontinuity issues were “a real concern,” adding, “Patients don’t want to have to tell their stories over again.” He said the problem was less an issue now than it was two years ago because some temporary psychiatrists have been working for the county two to three years. Patient advocates objected that multiple psychiatrists sometimes lead to multiple diagnoses and abrupt changes in psychotropic drugs prescribed.

Behrendsten said the shortage of psychiatrists is a worldwide phenomenon reflecting the relatively low pay psychiatrists receive compared to other medical professionals.

Opinions DOGWEED: In the great scheme of things,

News Dogs, Old Tricks

it didn’t rate so much as an asterisk. As with many historic moments, it passed unnoted, though — like the individual involved — it was in plain sight. The county supervisors unanimously approved John Sherman De Friel’s nomination to the county’s Agricultural Advisory Commission, known to people who attend its meetings as AAC, or “Ack!”—the sound you’d make if someone punched you in the throat.

De Friel may not be a household name, but he is the first cannabis cultivator ever to be appointed to a county board or commission because of his cannabis cultivation prowess. The process of mainstreaming legalized recreational pot clearly still has a long way to go, but De Friel’s appointment Tuesday signifies the extent to which the industry has fully arrived.

In person—bearded, brown-haired, and bespectacled—De Friel looks like someone who could be pouring expensive bean juice at The French Press. But that’s only until he opens his mouth. He’s a certified Big Brain with a graduate degree in bioengineering— almost but not quite a PhD—who genetically designs his own strains. He runs a greenerthan-green operation near Buellton, where the pinot grapes like to grow. As a business operator, De Friel is half-cyborg, half-man, having figured out the life span of every plant down to the last drop of evapotranspirated

water. He transforms his crop into oil-based

resins, which are sold to 130 shops from Eureka to San Diego. As a political animal, De Friel was the one who recognized early on that cannabis growers couldn’t afford to just let legalization happen. As such, he’s led the charge to organize and lobby the county supes on behalf of the new breed of cannabis cats. At public hearings, he’s the one dressed in a yellow Carhartt and farmer-man ball cap, quoting county code in a hyper-caffeinated rat-tat-tat, the way Bible thumpers quote scripture. In other words, he gives off big heat.

Making De Friel’s appointment more interesting still is who nominated him: 4th District Supervisor Peter Adam. Adam is gleefully and outspokenly conservative, a libertarianleaning Trump supporter who runs a vast family farming empire of his own. On the dais, Adam often seems to be laughing at jokes no one else can hear. But on matters relating to the county’s recreational legalization ordinance, Adam has always been the one board vote De Friel knew he could never hope to get. Adam doesn’t really approve of pot. Even less does he approve of the hyper taxation and regulation of cannabis every step of the way from seed to smoke. But of John Sherman De Friel, Peter Adam approves a lot. “He is the pinnacle of 3,000 years of agricultural evolution,” Adam said of De Friel. “Wow!”

I said. Adam laughed. He then explained he describes himself in the exact same terms.

De Friel is the tip of a very big, cannabiscozy iceberg. It’s no accident that political consultant Mollie Culver —who helped get Salud Carbajal elected to Congress, Cathy Murillo elected mayor, and Gregg Hart all but elected county supervisor—is providing political advice to much of the new industry. Carpinteria growers are represented by California Strategies, a formidable statewide lobbying firm started by former Republican governor Pete Wilson’s former chief of staff Bob White. Big juice. Lieutenant Brian Olmstead —a Republican now running for sheriff —has jumped into the county’s legalization effort with such open arms and expertise that he’s now a featured speaker at cannabis trade shows. At the Santa Barbara Police Department, spokesperson Anthony Wagner —who Chief Lori Luhnow’s hired in lieu of an assistant chief—is a former land-use consultant from San Diego who specialized in getting major cannabis operations approved.

With all this juice, one might think the industry should be fat and happy. It’s anything but. “The green rush is over,” De Friel explained. “The bubble has burst. People are losing their hats.” Sky-high taxes and a regulatory straitjacket are putting a serious cramp in its style. All kinds of operators are declining to make the transition from gray market to legalization. It’s way too complex and way too expensive. Among the promises of legalization is the elimination of the black market.

It ain’t happening. In fact, just the opposite.

This past weekend, I called a guy I know who does home delivery. He’s one of more than 25 within city limits. I’ve known him 10 years, and I needed help for someone with serious bone-on-bone arthritic pain. He brought along a jar of stinky salve wrapped in a brown paper bag stapled shut. I gave him $60. He’s not getting rich. The transaction took place in his car that could never be confused for a Tesla. He’s a good guy trying to make ends meet in Santa Barbara. He’s actively involved in the cultural life of the town. He walks his dog. He says hi to his neighbors. Under the new rules, he is the new black market. Once enough taxes are collected from people like De Friel, the sheriff will have the funds to chase him down and put him out of business. Under the new regime, there will be much more enforcement, not less. That’s legalization?

I get it. If growers like De Friel operate under the new rules, is it fair they must compete against those who don’t? On top of that, California produces eight times more

pot than Californians are currently ingesting. Prices are plummeting. Two years ago,

a pound of really good pot went for $2,800.

Today, you’d be lucky to get $1,100. Still, the panga boats laden with bales of bad Mexican weed keep on coming. Is pot really the fiscal salvation we all want to believe?

Richard M. Ribar, of Santa Barbara, died Tuesday, May 1, 2018 at the age of 76.

He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, later moving to Phoenix where he graduated from high school in 1960. One year later, he took his first firefighting job with the Rural Metropolitan Fire Dept. in Arizona. He then moved to California and joined the Angeles National Forest “Hotshot Crew” for one season.

In 1964, he was drafted by the U.S. Army and served two years at Camp Roberts and in Korea as Engine Captain and Fire Inspector. On July 16, 1966, he joined the City of Santa Barbara Fire Department as a rookie firefighter. He was promoted to Captain in August 1980. He has worked at all eight fire stations in the City and has served under five Fire Chiefs.

He is survived by his wife Janine Bartley, his daughter

Wendy D. Ralph (Don), Richard R. Ribar, his step-children Scott Rodriguez (Traci), Cristina Mancuso (Tony) and Ann Johnson (Jeff), 20 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his identical twin brother Raymond, who is also a retired fire captain. He was preceded in death by his parents and his son Michael J. Ribar.

Janice Pegram 1948-2018

Santa Barbara lost another unique citizen in April, when Janice Pegram died. JP was a woman with a huge heart and a steady constant desire to help wherever and whenever she could. She lived fully and with grace and strength as she negotiated the difficult challenges of her Type 1 diabetes, a condition she learned she had in her early thirties. She passed away on April 18 at home, peacefully in her bed, of complications of diabetes, a book and her reading glasses by her side…a reflection of the voracious reader she was all her life.

Known as JP to her many Santa Barbara friends, she was also known as Jan or AJ (for Aunt Janice) to her family and her adored nieces and nephews. JP was born on January 20, 1948 in Huntington Park, California to parents, Roy and Joyce Pegram.

Her childhood was shared with an older brother Larry and a younger sister Nancy. The family moved to Whittier when she was around 2 years old, and all her early schooling was there.

She was a Brownie and a Girl Scout, as well as a cheerleader and a leader in student government at Sierra High School. Her beauty and fun personality were acknowledged by her peers when she was elected Homecoming Princess!

When she was admitted to UCSB in 1966, JP launched a whole new adventure as did all of

her friends during those formative and event-filled years. The sharing of so many life changing and life altering experiences of college in the 60s and early 70s formed friend groups that persevered throughout her life. The music, cultural shifts, the intensity of life and fun overshadowed by the omnipresence of the Vietnam War fostered a cultural bond of adventure and exploration that never really left. JP loved to travel, and she enjoyed many great trips to Mexico, Central America, Europe and Asia. Up to a few months ago JP was still looking forward to a safari trip to Africa planned to celebrate her 70th birthday.

JP stayed in Santa Barbara after graduation and worked many years at her alma mater, UCSB. She started with the Alumni Association, ending her tenure there as Assistant Director. She then moved over the Office of Development to support the UCSB Foundation Board of Trustees. Her philanthropic and caring instincts led her to Direct Relief International next, where she worked as an officer of the Development team, and finally ended her work career at the Santa Barbara Public Library for a short stint, before embarking on being well and truly retired.

She could now read to her heart’s content, or travel or just hang out at home with her sweet and indulged Springer spaniel rescue dog, Bolt. Her family remembers that her favorite song at 4 years old was “How Much is that Doggie in the Window?”--a portent of her great love of animals and her string of beloved Springer spaniels.

JP is survived by her Sister Nancy (Danny) La Farga, and her brother Larry (Shelly) Pegram.

Her memory also lives on through her beloved nieces and nephews, Darcie (Tom) McNeil, Michael Pegram, Elizabeth (Kristen McCandeless) Pegram, Jessica La Farga, and Paul La Farga as well as her great nieces, Maya, and Vivian.

A celebration of her life will be held at the Ellwood Ranch in Goleta on Saturday May 26, 2018 at 2 pm. Please bring an appetizer to share. Beverages will be provided. Take 101 freeway north and exit Winchester Canyon towards the mountains. Take a right onto Cathedral Oaks, a left on Ellwood Ridge Road and follow the signs to the end.

Ban Conversion Therapy CONT’D

Cruel and Unusual Punishment Should Always Be Outlawed

BY NEIL COFFMAN-GREY n early April I attended a conference

in Los Angeles put on by the statewide LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) rights group Equality California with my husband, Keith, and other Gold Coast activists.

they’re howling. Christian bookstores will be shut down! Catholic schoolteachers will be arrested!

Honestly, after three decades of civil rights activism in the Central Coast, I’ve heard this nonsense before.

Witness this distraction in the onset of AIDS, the mid-’90s recall effort against members of the Ventura County Board of Education who tried to ban LGBT people

Using electroshock and other methods to induce shame and self-hatred into people in distress, this quackery called ‘conversion therapy’ is nothing short of cruel and unusual punishment.

committee on consumer protection, several dozen members of the religious right flooded the room and testified against the bill, with only one person lobbying for AB 2943.

One speaker even tried to beckon Assemblymember Low to heterosexuality — publicly, seriously — which is what socalled “conversion therapy” proposes to do: through counseling and various other practices, to “change” gay and lesbian people into heterosexuals.

Using electroshock and other methods to induce shame and self-hatred into people in distress, this quackery is nothing short of cruel and unusual punishment and has already been made illegal to perpetrate against youth in California and other states.

Currently, two bills aim to ban this malignant “ex-gay” therapy against adults. Assembly Bill 1779 would end the practice for vulnerable adults, such as those in the care of another. But it is AB 2943 that has drawn the wrath of social conservatives.

Any licensed mental-health providers — counselors, psychiatrists, LCSWs (licensed clinical social workers)—who engage in this damaging practice or advertise their services will have their license to perform therapy reviewed, and possibly revoked, by their licensing entity.

In other words, should AB 2943 pass, a counselor who advertised that she can “make you straight” would be disciplined and possibly lose her license for engaging in consumer fraud.

You cannot change a person’s sexual orientation. I am gay and was born this way. I have the capacity to fall in love, as I have for the past 23 years, with a man, not a woman.

To engage in so shaming a person, filling them with hatred or “shocking” them with electric current while showing them pictures of semi-clad cuties (so that they associate their normal impulses with pain), is really just torture for homosexuals. It is intolerable, and it should have been made illegal years ago.

But the religious right has been rabid in its response. It will ban the Bible altogether,

from speaking in public schools. See it in the “gays in the military” protest at the Seabee Base in Port Hueneme, in the marriage equality movement (“they’ll be teaching children that gay marriage is normal!”)—the radical right has always engaged in lies when we’ve fought for our lives.

Every. Single. Time.

This is called bigotry.

AB 2943 has “literally” nothing to do with the Bible or any Christian books touting the benefits of living a lie or hating yourself for your intrinsic characteristics. For being born L, G, B, or T. It sets the practice of secular, licensed “exgay” therapy aside for discipline as consumer fraud.

The ban against this cruel and unusual punishment for youth has already been upheld in courts, and, indeed, across the nation other states, including Hawai‘i, are banning the practice. With LGBT youth especially vulnerable, such abuse, inducing such self-shame in our children, could lead some to drug abuse, high-risk behaviors, even suicide.

But I suppose these facts, the toll on my community, are unimportant to social conservatives — whether we’re damaged for life, whether we kill ourselves. Because, you see, our lives have never mattered to these people.

They’ve always viewed us as disposable— to die from God’s judgement (AIDS), to be quarantined, to be kept away from children and anything approaching a decent, happy life.

The lie that gays and lesbians are in a “chosen lifestyle,” a disease or addiction we can be talked and tortured out of, is the basis for the heinous practice of “conversion therapy.”

It’s just one of the many lies endlessly perpetrated against us by those whose job it is to hate us.

Let us end this barbarity once and for all and pass AB 2943 into law.

egarding the article on the turmoil that has roiled City College this spring in the wake of the Michael Shermer speech, “#MeToo Hits SBCC,” I would like to correct a factual error: In Shermer and Indy reporter Tyler Hayden’s email exchange, Shermer said the entire SBCC issue hinged on a statement made in chemistry professor Raeanne Napoleon’s email and repeated in Channels reporter Daniel Wallace’s article that claimed “police did not bring formal charges against him.” Because Napoleon and Wallace refused repeated requests to retract the statement, Shermer wrote, his only recourse was through the courts.

This statement is inaccurate. From his first contact with The Channels, Shermer demanded the entire article be removed from the news site. He also threatened the student reporter with a defamation lawsuit.

His two cease-and-desist letters repeated the demand and the threat.

A “takedown” demand is not the same as a request to retract or correct a specific statement, fact, or quotation. This is an important distinction, from both a legal and a newspaper staff ’s point of view.

Had Shermer actually asked The Channels to publish a correction to the statement in question, it’s possible the students would have taken different steps. The Channels, like most news publications, is committed to correcting factual errors and has specific protocols for doing so.

So when I’m quoted in the article about how proud I am of my students, I’m referring to their refusal to remove an article from their news site that clearly was —Patricia Stark, student news not libelous. media adviser, The Channels, SBCC

Oil Swell

A

recent letter suggested that Santa Barbara County citizens forego millions of dollars in much-needed new revenues, more than a billion dollars in economic activity, and hundreds of well-paying new jobs simply because they are associated with oil production. This is misguided and irresponsible.

The county has been home to oil production for decades, and the wells in question are in an existing oil field to be redeveloped under stringent regulations of the county, state, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Aera Energy’s project in Cat Canyon is one of the most socially and environmentally responsible projects I have ever seen in our county.

Before a permit is issued, an extensive environmental impact report will be prepared. Citizens will have ample opportunity to review and comment, and the project must be approved by the county before a single barrel of oil can be extracted.

Responsible oil production provides jobs, as well as revenues that benefit schools, public safety, and other essential services, while protecting the environment. It deserves our community’s support.

¶ Of the four attorneys named “Jeffrey Young” registered with the California State Bar, two live in Santa Barbara, though neither Jeffrey S. nor Jeffrey D. is the Jeffrey Young who owns the bus in last week’s “City Cops Chase Away Canna-bus” news article. Also from that edition, we clarify that valley fever is caused by fungal, not bacterial, spores. ¶ “Elephant Iron,” a piece in last week’s real estate section, misspelled the name of a proprietor: Peter Grim (one m, not two). Grim added that after he made the lion cage — actually the zoo’s second — he went on vacation but spent his time at Isla Mujeres reading the Los Angeles Times daily to see if the lion had escaped.

That’s because he’d also built the giraffe cage, and one of them did escape.

Less than a hundred yards from this noisy scene of destruction and recovery, an unusual new house nestles among old oaks on a one-acre lot overlooking the stream bed.

The structure’s nickname reflects both its tree-like design and the degree to which it represents a deliberate departure from the building philosophy behind the traditional ranch house it replaced.

Planted within an asymmetrical footprint dictated by the protected drip lines of the property’s many centuries-old oaks, this sturdy yet delicate residential structure is not a boulder-proof bunker, but rather a serious attempt to go with the flow of Montecito’s active alluvial plain. Lifted off the ground in many places and secured by concrete piles sunk in holes drilled through the site’s sandstone, the copper-tiled branch house perches on the site’s natural grade and within its ancient oaks like a tree house crossed with a spaceship.

The story of how this particular house and the mostly native desert garden that surrounds it came to be won’t answer all the challenging questions raised by the recent catastrophes in Montecito, nor will it necessarily provide a practical solution for the displaced residents who face the difficult decision of whether or not to rebuild and where. Everyone involved with

the project understands that the house could just as easily have been destroyed like some of its neighbors if the recent debris flow had taken a slightly different direction.

Yet through retracing the steps of the design process that led to this particular result and by reflecting on the evolution of thinking about architecture and landscape that it represents, it’s possible to imagine a way of building on these rocky slopes that’s more sustainable and less insensitive to how nature works there. Through regulation, innovation, and experience, little victories over unexamined habits and unnatural practices have been achieved. Taken together, these advances point toward a building strategy that works with, rather than against, the powerful natural forces that define our region.

OAK GROVES, ROUND BOULDERS, AND RANCH HOUSES Famous for its grand estates, Montecito is actually mostly covered in ranch houses. These single-story, single-family complexes typically feature long, low-pitched rooflines, L- or U-shaped layouts, and a decided functional split between the ornamental façade of the front yard with its manicured lawn and a backyard organized for outdoor living, often with a patio and pool.

When longtime San Marino residents Cathie and David Partridge approached Los Angeles–based architect Peter Tolkin with the news that they had purchased a property in Montecito, they had already decided that the 1960s ranch house on the lot would have to go. The only question was how far, and the answer turned out to be perhaps a bit further than anyone expected.

“It was a typical ranch setup,” Tolkin told me as we toured the property, “with the house right up against the street and a relatively untouched oak grove behind. I had always been fascinated with the fact that this area had once been an oak forest, and I knew that what had happened initially was that people had come in and mowed the forest down, graded the land, and laid slab foundations for everything from giant mansions to modest ranch houses, which was what they were planning to tear down here.”

The couple knew they wanted a modern house —“a house of today,” as Cathie Partridge refers to it — and their first request was for a tree house. “I wanted a wooden house, but I knew that because of the fires that was not practical,” said Cathie. Tolkin suggested a sheathing of copper tiles as a fire-resistant alternative, noting that “there’s a tradition of using copper as flashing and for roofs that’s very old and quite common in Europe.” Plus, the copper tiles, properly designed and maintained, would take on a natural patina that complemented the silver and green palette of the trees.

The next obstacle was to accommodate the trees, which were protected by codes. “We’ve been working around drip

Free Speech on Campus

The 2018 Wade Clark Roof Human Rights Lecture Delivered by

Chancellor Howard Gillman (UC Irvine) Hardly a week goes by without another controversy over free speech on college campuses. On one side, there are increased demands to censor hateful, disrespectful, and bullying expression and to ensure an inclusive and nondiscriminatory learning environment.

On the other side are traditional free speech advocates who charge that recent demands for censorship coddle students and threaten free inquiry. Chancellor Gillman will discuss why campuses must provide supportive learning environments for an increasingly diverse student body but can never restrict the expression of ideas. After discussing the central arguments for prohibiting the censorship of ideas on campus, Gillman will review what colleges can and can’t do when dealing with free speech controversies, including controversies around large-scale demonstrations that create risks of violence.

lines for as long as I’ve been building houses in the area,” said Rich Coffin, the contractor on the project. “Of course, at first it was sort of casual compared to today, with the very specific new codes we have about protected trees. For every project we do now, we have to hire an arborist.”

Once those lines were drawn and the shape of the space available for the footprint of the house had been established, Los Angeles landscape architect and author Wade Graham was engaged to begin planning ASYMMETRY: Eccentric angles and irregular the site.According to Coffin, shutter-less windows flank the main entrance. the process was slow at first.

“We didn’t know Wade yet, and he resisted our standard procedure at first,” Coffin recalled. “As builders, you basically want plans on paper as early as possible so that you can start figuring out how much things will cost. Wade was more intuitive, and he didn’t commit his ideas to paper until he developed a feel for the site. It turned out that this was the key to the whole thing.”

Graham grew up in Montecito and has written about the history of the landscape there in his 2011 book American Eden: From Monticello to Central Park to Our Backyards: What Our Gardens Tell Us About Who We Are. With a PhD in American history from UCLA and a track record of finding inventive solutions for unorthodox projects, he embraced the opportunity to work for a client who wasn’t interested in building yet another ranch house. For his part, he was at first taken aback by the asymmetry of Tolkin’s design.“What I saw in the house plan was a high degree of irregularity,” said Graham. “The building is, as houses go, chaotically asymmetrical.”

He also had a yen to deconstruct the landscape vocabulary of the ranch house, and in particular to push back against the tradition of what he refers to as “slab on grade” architecture. “Slab-on-grade construction is a criminally stupid way to build anywhere,” Graham told me,“but especially in an area that’s as unstable as this.”

Armed with an environmental historian’s grasp of the region’s geological history and an experienced plant man’s knowledge of the area’s flora, Graham moved forward fully aware of the risks. “There is a fundamental violence in this landscape,” he told me. “It burns, it quakes, it slides, and if you are a lawn, it will kill you with drought.” The first house that really took this violence as its subject was the Barton Myers house in Toro Canyon, which was built both against the threat of fire and about the fact that it’s sited within a fire-prone region.

Tolkin, who designed the branch house, echoed Graham’s conclusion in a different register, asserting that when the original subdivision where the house is located was built,“they mowed the oaks down and built American tract houses …. There were no grading codes. You could grade, and you didn’t have to compact it, because there were no rules.” For this project, said Tolkin, “we looked at how to work with the natural grade.”

For Graham, the recent mudslides were “a sobriety checkpoint on building in Montecito.” According to Graham, in the 1920s and ’30s, “people came here and assumed that it was Shangri-la, and they built accordingly.

Moorish castles popped up on an active alluvial fan.” Both men pointed out the preponderance of large round boulders found everywhere along the creeks of Montecito, with Tolkin asking the rhetorical question,“Hey, they

COVER STORY had to get here somehow, right?” He quickly added that this house isn’t boulder proof but rather both lucky and thoughtful.

“It may be that these extraordinary, biblical kind of events only happen every thousand years,” he said, “but then that’s exactly what we just had. In any case, very fortunately the house was spared from the path of the debris flow by its location, so the design was not really tested by this event. I can’t claim that it would necessarily BACK AT THE BRANCH: Branch house architect Peter Tolkin have done any better than these other houses given the intensity of what happened.

as “unquestionably one of the top-five projects” that his firm has ever worked on, pointed out a fascinating coincidence with regard to this landscaping detail salvaged from the site’s rock pile. “In all the years I’ve been drilling those types of piers,” he explained, “I’ve only seen one other architect save them and use them in the yard, and that’s Barton Myers, who did the same thing with the dropouts from the caissons we dug for his house in Toro Canyon.”

BUILDING FOR ART IN THE SHADOW OF LOSS There’s probably no better-known example of working with the destructive power of nature in mind than the house and studio complex that Barton Myers designed and built for himself high up in Toro Canyon. With its commanding view of the Channel Islands, open loft plan, “garage” doors, and series of recirculating rooftop

Perhaps the most subtle and fascinating aspect of the branch house as a design for living has to do with the new way it approaches the desire to live with contemporary art. Cathie and David Partridge, both highly cultured people with a particular passion for music, had been buying and displaying major works by contemporary artists for decades when they decided to take on this project. Sadly, David did not live to see it realized, as he died of pancreatic cancer in 2014, leaving Cathie to fulfill what began as a highly collaborative vision.

Part of the rationale for the building of the branch house was to create a space that would suit not only the work they have collected but also Cathie’s paintings, colorful and nature-inspired abstractions, several of which hang in the house. Tolkin’s background as a fineart photographer came into play as he helped discover a new way of thinking about how to live with art.

“Because of the art, I designed the house as a series of separate volumes,” Tolkin said.“My idea was that each of these volumes would be composed as a kind of picture of the landscape. Each bedroom has two views: one out and one up.” The impact of these large, floor-to-ceiling

The original move-in date was set for late November 2017, but first the Thomas Fire and then the mudslides pushed it back to the point that, while the rooms are furnished today, there’s still plenty of empty space to be reckoned with going forward.

securities and especially for childhood, that place of refuge, real or imagined.” The branch house, as much planted as it was constructed, is a branch rather than a ranch, and represents both a memorial to the great life force of David Partridge and an expression of hope that in the wake of so much destruction, new life can grow and flourish along the creeks and in the oak groves of Montecito.

At one point in our discussion, Tolkin said that this story “should be about how to build now, how to think more with the natural forces than against them.

There may be sites where you just shouldn’t build at all, but there’s also the idea of working with nature.”

How to Make Your Own

Graduation Lei

For the stringing method, use a long thread and a needle to pierce whatever flowers or material you use through their center or side. To start, tie a knot around the end piece, leaving a length of thread to tie the two ends of the lei together when it has reached the desired size. The longer the needle, the easier it is to string flowers with a tubular shape, such as plumeria. Bougainvillea, stephanotis, ginger, carnation, and gardenia also work well. Cécile Brünner rosebuds, agapanthus blossoms, Carolina jessamine, and kangaroo paw are all great options in bloom now.

P

resenting a lei to a graduating student is a tradition that has spread from Hawai‘i to the West Coast and beyond. In Hawai‘i, lei are made with fragrant flowers, ti or spicy maile leaves, shells, seeds and nuts, feathers, dollar bills, or candy. And they might be piled around a student’s neck up to his or her chin, depending on how many relatives attend their commencement. The graduation lei on the mainland are typically made of purple Dendrobium orchids shipped here in plastic boxes.

Making your own lei is easy and inexpensive and reduces your carbon footprint. Plus, adorning your loved one with flowers or foliage that represent your neighborhood or home garden can be much more meaningful than giving a prepackaged gift.

Of the many ways to make a lei, the easiest two are the stringing or piercing method (kui) and the knotting method (kipu’u).

LEI TWO WAYS: Demonstration of the stringing method (kui) using bougainvillea and Cécile Brünner rosebuds; below: example of the knotting method (kipu’u) with variegated ivy and regal geranium leaves

For the knotting method, use short pieces of hemp or cotton twine to tie the stems of leaves or flowers to a length of twine longer than your lei will be. Tie the knots on what will be the back side of the lei, and be sure to tie them tightly so that if the material shrinks as it dries it does not drop out. Tie in the next stem or bunch of material, hiding your last knot and tying in any loose stems protruding from it. Cut off the excess string.

A lei made primarily of leaves is usually worn openended around the neck “maile style,” with each side hanging down below the waist. Good leaf materials include geranium, ivy, eucalyptus, pineapple guava, dusty miller, Grecian laurel, California bay, many kinds of sage, and sprigs of rosemary or lavender. A few flowers or small succulent rosettes make nice color accents.

Whatever material you choose, test it by leaving a few samples out on a table for a day or two to see how it holds up. Soak leaves in water for 10 minutes to remove dust and plump them up, and then dry them in a salad spinner or on a towel. Mature leaves have less tendency to wilt. If you make lei the day before your event, spray each one lightly with water, place in a plastic bag, inflate the bag, and close with a twist tie. Keep them in the refrigerator. Don’t moisten lei if you make them the morning of the event.

While fragrant maile leaves are traditional in the islands, here scented geranium, lemon gum eucalyptus, bay, or sprigs of rosemary or lavender are fragrant reminders to your graduate that home is California.

SilverStick’s Complete Leather Dugout

s cannabis strains grew exponentially in strength over the past two decades, smart smokers realized that you really only need a hit or two to achieve the desired results. (And if you keep it that way, you can keep your tolerance from skyrocketing as well.)

Cue the rise of the one-hitter pipe, also known as a “bat” or a “chillum,” depending on your lexicon. They first became popular in sneaky cigarette-looking devices before handblown glass forms took over. But now you can also find them in acrylic, quartz, wood, and metal, many of which come in a“dugout,” which is the name for a small kit to hold the pipe, herb, and other tools.

The SilverStick ups both the one-hitter design — relying on aircraft-grade alloy for a sleek and shiny look — and functionality, with small cotton filters to insert inside. The $89 Complete Leather Dugout kit (above right) puts one of those standard-sized pipes into a palm-sized brown satchel (with its own filter

pocket), complete with a lighter, a bud holder, a smellreducing pipe cap, and a poker for easy cleaning. Or opt for the SilverStick Slim ($25 by itself), which offers two to three draws but remains rather thin. The company makes a wide range of dugouts as well, and the filters are cheap, just $7.50 for 100.

Barbra Mousouris

Healing with

Hypnotherapy “ H

ypnotherapy is not like the cheesy stage hypnotists who make you bark like a dog,” said certified hypnotherapist Barbra Mousouris of Sixth Scents Healing, dispelling any myth that her clients lose all control or self-will during their sessions. “It’s more the feeling you get when you just wake up, which is a deep relaxation.”

Mousouris accesses clients’ subconscious minds and works to alter old thought patterns by using verbal repetition and mental images to promote desired habit changes, address unwanted fears, or alleviate symptoms of illnesses and disease. She encourages clients to use selected perspectives that address issues like phobias, weight loss, anxiety, pain management, and relationship problems.

Mousouris says her work combating phobias has been particularly successful and long-lasting. “One of my young ladies was getting married and wanted to go on a honeymoon but was freaked out about flying,” said Mousouris. She saw the client for four sessions and worked to undo negative associations and replace them with more realistic ideas.

The client later called her from Mexico, elated over a stress-free flight.

“You can go to psychotherapy for years and spend a ton of money,” she said, touching on the current difficulty many face in finding affordable mental-health care. “Then people will say that they had much more of a breakthrough after one or two sessions of hypnotherapy.”

Healing touch and aromatherapy are two other energy therapies that Mousouris weaves into her practice. In sessions, she says she monitors a client’s pulse to assess the energetic field and support the body’s natural ability to heal. She says these gentle practices also work well with standard medical care.

Indeed, following Milton H. Erickson’s groundbreaking work, hypnosis is now generally supported in hospitals to combat pre-surgery anxiety, by midwives to reduce pain during childbirth, and by psychotherapists to address disorders.

“People are complex,” said Mousouris, recognizing the limitations of all medical treatments, and especially hypnosis, where levels of client suggestibility and resistance vary greatly.

Sixth Scents Healing is now offering a free session to anyone who has lost a home or loved one in the mudslides.“It’s so rewarding to help people,” Mousouris said.

RESTAURANT CONCESSION AT

THE CABRILLO PAVILION

One Space. Period.

or months on end, I’ve been watching in shock as seemingly impossible things keep happening: The most innovative nation on the globe elected an actual imbecile. Hooded Klansmen marched proudly in our streets. Regulations aimed at slowing our environmental doom were casually reversed.

Now researchers are making a scientific case for using two spaces between sentences in typed communication, instead of one. Two profligate, puffy spaces. Instead of just the sensible single space.

And this, my friends, is where my head explodes. This is where I say, By god, you animals, no more. No more will I stand idly by and watch barbarous, maniac-manned bulldozers ram at the pillars of our human progress. Feh, ye foes of formatting! We have come too far from the clomping Smith Corona Sterling and the humming, ham-fisted IBM Selectric dumping unsightly utilitarian gaps in the midst of our otherwise pretty paragraphs, to ever — nay, ever! — go back.

And here, I know, is where readers will line up on either side of this factious debate. The argument over whether to insert one or two spaces after a period has raged for ages between traditionalists and modernists—or as I see it, between those who are wrong and those who know better.

To settle the score, researchers from Skidmore College conducted a study: They used eye-tracking equipment to watch 60 test subjects read text in both formats. The results

by Starshine showed that two spaces made it easier for some subjects to read the material—which surely thrilled academics, who have long cleaved to the old-fashioned double-space email: starshine@roshell.com rule still suggested by APA format. It’s what we were all taught in school, after all. But anyone who’s had written work published commercially in the last oh, 20 years wouldn’t type two spaces after a period any sooner than they would dab Wite-Out on their computer screen. It strains past unnecessary to border on asinine.

The two-space rule was created to allow more air between whole sentences than between individual words back when each character on a typewriter took up an equal amount of space; an m was allowed as much width as an i on the page, for example. But fonts created for computers are “smarter.” For example, a font’s “space” character is designed to look appropriate in context with the rest of its alphabet and can even be set to stretch a little bit wider when it falls after a period.

“This stuff is carefully constructed,” says my husband, a font designer who is even more deranged about this stuff than I am. “So then to just say, ‘Oh, let’s put two spaces here,’ ” … (at this point his voice trails off in fonty frustration, and he must calm himself) … “well, it disregards the crafting that goes into it.”

Actually, the Skidmore study disregarded that crafting, too. The paragraphs it gave subjects to read were in Courier New, a font specifically designed to mimic old typewriters—meaning letters and spaces are all equal width. Not only that, but it turns out the only subjects who found it easier to read the study’s double-spaced sentences were those who admitted that they still personally typed with two spaces between sentences. So who cares what they think anyway?

In fact, I’m choosing to take an entirely different and optimistic set of analyses from this study than the ones they foisted on us. Only a third of its participants identified as two-space typers, which I see as evidence that society is advancing:

(1) The majority of us are sophisticated thinkers who can keep ideas separate in our heads without requiring glaring visual signposts to buffer them.

(2) In an era when conservation is critical, our disinclination to squander spaces willy-nilly speaks well of our survival odds.

(3) Even on a crowded planet, our unwillingness to create buffers where there need be none portends, ultimately, to peaceful coexistence.

Despite depressing news of late, we are not a world that insists on separating and dividing.

We are not stuck in the past. We are one people, and a people hellbent … on one.

KING OF THE MOUNTAIN: After his powerful move at the top of Gibraltar Road (above), Egan Bernal straightened up in triumph (inset) at the finish of Monday’s Stage 2 of the Amgen Tour of California. Santa Barbara’s Jack Bianchi (below) presented the Most Courageous Rider jersey to Rubén Companioni, a Cuban who led a breakaway effort early in the 97-mile stage.

EGAN BERNAL CONQUERS GIBRALTAR ROAD Young Colombian Riding for Team Sky Wins Stage 2 of the Amgen Tour T

he cyclists careened through Coast Village Road in a tight, fast pack. If you fiddled with your phone, you might have missed them.

Forty-five minutes later, after Egan Bernal crossed the finish line at the summit of Gibraltar Road to win Stage 2 of the Amgen Tour of California (ATOC), he had time to try on four different jerseys while the majority of the 117 riders were still laboring up the mountain on a sunny Monday afternoon.

Bernal, a 21-year-old Colombian riding for Britain’s Team Sky, sprung to the lead on the steepest part of the road with two kilometers remaining. The few riders who managed to stay in contention were powerless to answer his move. Runner-up Rafaä Majka was closest at the end, 21 seconds behind — a gaping margin in a sport where races are won by the thickness of tires.

With his victory in the “Queen Stage” of the 13th ATOC, Bernal claimed the yellow jersey of the overall leader, as well as the KOM (King of the Mountain), Sprint, and Best Young Rider jerseys.

As it did in the 2016 tour, Gibraltar Road made some very accomplished cyclists choose not to suffer. As announcer Dave Towle said, to try to win the relentless 3,100-foot climb at the end of a 97-mile race required a rider “to find a very ugly place in the corner of the pain cave.”

Team Sky’s Tao Geoghegan Hart set a punishing pace up the road and then gave way to Bernal, who has the sleek body (59, 130 pounds) and the firepower of a champion climber.

“They put out more than 600 watts on a climb,” said Jack Bianchi, a longtime Santa Barbara cycling master and cancer survivor who helped hand out awards on the podium.

Peter Sagan, the heralded Slovakian sprinter, eased up at the start of the climb and finished in the defeated peloton, 18½ minutes behind the leader. He didn’t have much to say after the race, as he consumed mouthfuls of gummy bears.

If Bernal is crowned overall champion after Saturday’s final stage in Sacramento, he can look back fondly at Santa Barbara, the setting for a splendid event just months after it

was besieged by natural disasters. There was a stark reminder on a ridge across from the finish line — a slope that was scorched by the Thomas Fire, which, like Monday’s race, had started in the Ventura area.

FRONT-PAIGE STORY: Paige Hauschild made a huge

impact as a first-year water polo player at USC. The 511 driver out of San Marcos High scored three goals in the NCAA women’s semifinals, a 10-6 victory over UCLA, and her defensive prowess was a highlight of the championship match, as the Trojans edged Stanford, 5-4. Hauschild is one of three finalists for the Cutino Award, given to the nation’s best collegiate player. “Paige is a future Olympian, probably three-, four-time Olympian; as long as she wants to play water polo she will be an Olympian,” USC coach Jovan Vavic said. “She’s just a tough, tough kid.”

SPEED CITY: In prep track and field, two marks of high

speed are going sub-11 seconds in the boys’ 100 meters and sub-14 in the girls’ 100 hurdles. Bishop Diego’s Isaiah Veal (10.87) and Carpinteria’s Wyatt Stevenson (10.96) qualified for this weekend’s finals of the CIF Division 4 100, and Allie Jones of San Marcos flew to a 13.79 clocking in the Division 2 hurdles. She also sailed 186 in the long jump.

A TEAR OR TWO: Tom Hanks famously said, “There’s no crying in baseball,” but like a cloud of dust on a slide into home plate, there were moments of sadness last weekend at the Santa Barbara Foresters Hot Stove Banquet. Manager Bill Pintard paid tribute to two of the baseball team’s most generous supporters, John McManigal and Mark Montgomery, who died in the Montecito debris flow on January 9. Augie Garrido, the winningest coach in college baseball, was slated to be a guest speaker, but he died from a stroke in March.

The newest members of the Foresters Hall of Fame, Bill Oakley and Jim Buckley, waxed nostalgic: Oakley about the 1958 Foresters, who fielded an outstanding lineup of local players in Laguna Park, a ballpark that the city tore down in 1970, and Buckley about serving the club in various capacities for more than two decades with Pintard, “the coach I never had.” The 2018 Foresters will open their season on June 8 at Pershing Park. n

everage options are endless these days, but liquor industry veterans Marshall Dawson and Roger Morrison recognized a need for an American apéritif that was refreshing, approachable, and low in calories. Their answer is Jardesca California Aperitiva, a blend of three wines and 10 botanicals.

Jardesca rep Charlie Morrison — who is coming to Laplace Wine Bar to discuss aperitifs and give a cocktail-making lesson on May 19—gave us the lowdown on a drink he said is “perfect for brunch, patios, and poolside” and a recipe that he says is as “easy as 3-2-1.”

Roger and Marshall were intrigued by apéritifs, which are very popular in Europe but, until recently, largely overlooked in the U.S. Apéritifs are intended to be refreshing, typically served over ice with a citrus twist, but some can be aggressively bitter.

They liked the idea of taking a traditional European apéritif and adding a quintessentially California twist that would appeal to an American consumer, not unlike what Starbucks did with espresso and coffee shops. Jardesca is inspired by their desire to capture the taste of the gardens and the vineyards of California in a bottle.

Who’s the audience? We have a broad range of consumers,

but the biggest users tend to be epicureans seeking new experiences to share with friends, especially millennials.

Women are particularly delighted to find a drink that is not too strong but livelier than a glass of wine and naturally low in calories.

Bartenders must love it, but how about everyday consumers?

Mixologists love the bright and balanced profile that makes beautifully refreshing, low-ABV wine cocktails and refreshes traditional cocktail choices. Our biggest challenge is reaching consumers with the Jardesca experience, which is why we conduct so many tastings. As Jardesca is a new concept for most consumers, it is not as easy as simply introducing a new vodka or rosé. The good news is, once they taste it, an incredibly high proportion of consumers buy a bottle on the spot.

any who’ve dabbled in marijuana can recall an experience with old-school edibles, most often in the form of homemade brownies, and the story often devolves into anxiety, paranoia, and other unpleasantries. But unlike those unmeasured and over-ingested ways of yesteryear, today’s edible cannabis offerings are formulated down to the milligram — you can take as little as a onemilligram gummy to help you sleep without the slightest buzz, or enough, if you’re feeling nostalgic, to fire up those freak-outs of old.

Chef Luke Reyes must frequently explain this new recreational world to the people who come to his La Hoja private dinners, which feature gourmet dishes “lightly infused” with cannabis.“It’s been a little more challenging than I thought it would be to get people to try whatever Luke Reyes the edible is,” said the Massachusetts-raised, Los Angeles–based chef, who brings his skills to Epicurean S.B. Invites Santa Barbara for two dinners on Chef Luke Reyes to Open June 16, hosted by the Epicurean S.B. food club. “But we’re getting Minds and Wow Palates there, slowly but surely.”

BY MATT KETTMANN It was his own recent experiences with edibles that made Reyes consider creating a new business model. “In the past few years, I wasn’t a big smoker, but I was using edibles,” he said. “They were very highly dosed, and you couldn’t get anything food-wise that was less than 40 or 50 milligrams. For the average person, it was a lot.”

La Hoja’s events — of which there have been about 15, with many more booked into this summer — are different. “We want it to be pretty mild,” Reyes explained. “When we’re doing a meal, we try to keep the entire multiple-course experience under 25-30 milligrams.” For those with higher tolerances, there are options for more cannabis along the way, such as having additional infused oysters or chew pops.“It’s like a choose-your-ownadventure kind of thing,” said Reyes.

He does not typically use the flavor of cannabis — which comes from the terpenes — in his dishes but has played around with it to add freshness to, for instance, cucumber-coconut popsicles. He may play with terpenes for his Santa Barbara dinners, whose menus are still being crafted, but are certain to look like what you’d expect from a top-shelf restaurant.

After working in kitchens with celebrated chefs like Ming Tsai, in such L.A. kitchens as The Gorbals, The Tasting Kitchen, and The Corner Door, and winning Food Network’s Chopped, Reyes will finally be opening his own restaurant this summer called 9th Street Ramen. That won’t have anything to do with cannabis — other than that a bowl of ramen doesn’t hurt the munchies — but he is also investigating a marijuana-focused restaurant in West Hollywood, which was the first municipality in California to issue permits for on-site consumption of infused food.

In the meantime, he’s looking forward to spreading La Hoja into Santa Barbara. “We’ll do something that’s fun and whimsical and play with that cannabis idea, but it will be very much of a high-end, luxury-ingredient menu,” he said. “Maybe I’ll throw some truffles in there.”

There are two seatings for the Cannabis Infused Dinner Experience on Saturday, June 16, at 5 and 7:30 p.m. Each is $176, and cannabis-free options are available. See epicureansb.com for tickets and lahoja.com to learn more.

AN EMPIRE FALLS: Sad news from reader Rondi:“We

went to Empress Palace [at 2251 Las Positas Rd.] Wednesday for lunch and there was a ‘closed’ sign on the front door. Upon further inspection, there was an eviction notice posted from the S.B. Superior Court. What a shock! They have been around for years. Will miss their walnut shrimp dish.” I tried calling to confirm, but their phone number is disconnected. Their website, empresspalace1.com, says Empress Palace is open for business as usual.

DOWNTOWN PEET’S TO CLOSE: This just in from reader

Maureen: “The Peetniks in town, myself included, are going to be really bummed when Peet’s Coffee downtown [at 1131 State St.] closes May 18, which an employee told me yesterday was going to happen. The employee didn’t know the reason for the closure but is hoping to transfer to uptown Peet’s, which is apparently going to stay open.” I called and confirmed the news. The location at 3905 State Street will be open for business as usual.

Peet’s downtown opened in November 2008. [Nick Welsh reported on Independent.com that the closure is due to a rent increase.]

FIRE AT MATTEI’S TAVERN: Last week I reported that

the restaurant at historical Mattei’s Tavern at 2350 Railway Avenue in Los Olivos was planning to close June 5. This week I am sad to report that there was a kitchen fire at Mattei’s Tavern on May 11. At 8:07 p.m., Santa Barbara County firefighters arrived with a full structure fire response and found a fire burning in a wall behind the barbecue pit in the kitchen area. Firefighters extinguished the fire, keeping it contained to that area so it didn’t extend farther into the restaurant. An investigator was on the scene to determine the cause of the fire.

John Dickson’s reporting can be found every day online at SantaBarbara.com. Send tips to info@SantaBarbara.com.

AMERICAN SONS

F

RIDING HIGH: Johnny Irion comes to the Lobero on Tuesday in support of his newest album, Driving Friend.

L I F E PAGE 49

COURTESY

olk and countryrock songwriters all straddle that loosely defined musical landscape of Americana. Collectively, with guitars in hand, the great lineage of tradition keepers and buckers alike have served as some of the nation’s longest documenters of the American story through their song.

When the Lobero Theatre hosts Santa Barbara–based Johnny Irion and the Jay Farrar Duo (of Son Volt fame) on Tuesday, May 22, it’ll be a beautifully modern signpost to forward-looking frontiers along folkand country-rock roads.

The pairing is a natural one. As cofounder of Uncle Tupelo, Farrar is one of the main limbs on the alternative-country family tree. Since the 1990s, he’s been a historian of the American weird, refiguring music by old greats such as the Carter Family in new ways. Recently, with Son Volt, he delved deep into AND the blues of artists like Skip James and Mississippi Fred McDowell with crunchy electric guitar and a rusty, rootsy tone.

Farrar and Uncle Tupelo affiliates Wilco have had a musical friendship with Irion for years. In that time, Irion has worked both solo and with others. He first nestled in local ears with his Wassaic Way collaboration with wife Sarah Lee Guthrie; he continued to amass appreciation with solo shows and group efforts such as the rocking U.S. Elevator (whose members will back Irion at the Lobero).

Irion’s newest album, Driving Friend, cruises into digital and physical stores just before the show, and it’s a lovely listen.

The Neil Young comparisons continue, of

course, with other songs recalling Beatles ballads and the more psychedelic tunes of The Byrds and Gram Parsons.Yet there’s an easygoing sweetness here that’s all Johnny, a swooning, laid-back tone that sparkles with wistful warmth.

Coproduced by Tim Bluhm, the album, which was recorded on an original 24-track Studer tape machine and features members of Dawes and Wilco, is a lush listen with a distinctive hue. Irion said that unlike his past records, which are generally wellliked, “this one you either love it, or you don’t get it. The people who love it really love it, and the people who don’t really don’t,” he said. “That’s cool, too.”

As with U.S. Elevator, Santa Barbarans will find some lyrical Easter eggs in Driving Friend, as the theme transports listeners to some familiar locales—e.g., “that scary Marcos Pass,” which gets a mention in the road-trip love song “Palm Springs.” Irion spends part of the year out east, in Massachusetts, but there’s a great spirit of California in his music. As a descendent of the

Steinbeck clan and partner to the Guthrie tree, the legacy rolls and writes on.

For Driving Friend Irion has teamed up with the Blackwing Foundation, a music education program from Blackwing pencils, which is releasing his album on the stylish stylo’s new record label. As histories intersect, Irion now finds himself “addicted” to the pencil modeled in the spirit of his great-uncle John Steinbeck, who was a huge fan of the brand.

Irion, of course, is happy to have a little fun with that American mythos, as in his new video, “Cabin Fever.” First seen holed up in a wintry Massachusetts cabin, he soon helps unleash a party in a nearby pub, the Dream-Away Lodge, as fancifully masked partygoers dance around.

There’s a dawning quality to the new album, a sense of light peeking up the horizon, with Irion steering cheerily ahead. At the Lobero, with him in the opening driver’s seat and Jay Farrar following up, it’ll be a sweet ride for sure.

OPUS OFFERS ARTISTS GRANTS

Art can often be an agent of healing — either creating it or viewing it. The folks at Opus Archives and Research Center believe this to be true, and so the nonprofit is offering its New Mythos Artists grants, titled Out of the Mud and Ashes, as a restorative response to the Thomas Fire and mudslide. “We are in search of new ways to understand the patterns underlying the profound transformation we are experiencing among ourselves and our surroundings,” reads the grant description, adding that the resulting art “promises to evoke and inspire a new mythos to embrace our community.”

The grants range from $300 to $3,000, with a total of $10,000 being given away. Santa Barbara and Ventura county residents are eligible to apply in myriad categories, including dance, drama, poetry, painting, music, and photography.

Those selected will present their final projects to a live audience at the Lobero Theatre in October.

The deadline for submissions is June 15. For applications and guidelines, see opusarchives.org/new-mythos-grant.

“Untitled” by John Saladino

COLETTE COSENTINO

ATELIER + GALLERY

A new atelier and gallery is coming to town. On Friday, May 18, the Colette Cosentino Atelier + Gallery opens to the public with its inaugural exhibition featuring works by famed interior designer John Saladino. The atelier is the brainchild of Santa Barbara–based artist Colette Cosentino, a historical decorative painter and muralist who has been creating works in the area for more than 25 years. Specializing in bucolic landscapes, rural life, and florals with a vintage flare, Cosentino has painted everything from ceiling murals and decorative floors to kiln-fired tiles and set props. The space will serve primarily as her art studio, with exhibitions taking place three or four times each year. Cosentino envisions it as an unconventional space in which people can learn about her work and process while also experiencing the work of important painters. With so many talented artists in the area, she hopes to bridge the architecture and design community with contractors and homeowners — offering a space where the public can envision new possibilities for interior décor.

Having worked with Saladino on projects for more than two decades, Cosentino was delighted to have him be the inaugural exhibiting artist. Saladino’s exhibition is titled Patrimony and will feature eight of his rarely seen paintings, available for purchase.

Icons of interior design, Saladino’s work draws inspiration from color-field painting and minimalism, with the artist interested in exploring the relationship between harmony, color, and proportion. With the gallery focusing primarily on painting, viewers will also have the chance to consistently check out Cosentino’s work and discover the projects on which she’s focused. Eventually she hopes to consider how the space could become a place for teaching — bringing back the true tradition of the atelier. In the meantime, she’s dedicated to celebrating Santa Barbara’s unique perspective where painting meets architecture and design.

An opening reception will take place on Friday, May 18, 6-9 p.m., at 11 West Anapamu Street.

DANNSAIR

RELEASES NEW ALBUM

by Richie DeMaria

The Producing Unit presents

MAY 18th & 19th

A Staged Reading adapted by Peter Frisch Center Stage Theater, 8:00pm Box Office 805-963-0408 Tickets $15 (plus $3 CST fee) www.centerstagetheater.org

CELTIC CALM: Relaxation fans, take note: Dannsair celebrates the release of its new album, Celtic Meditations, at Dargan’s Irish Pub (18 E. Ortega St.) on Thursday, May 17, at 5:30 p.m. The Celtic-fusion band hosts this special occasion at its home base for the last 20 years, beginning with free appetizers and a band meet and greet from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., with a concert to follow.

While the irrepressible ambassadors to Emerald Isle culture will surely kick up a jolly craic with rousing renditions of traditional and contemporary tunes at this gig, it’s going to be a slightly quieter affair than usual. On its new album, the eight-piece act showcases a slower, more thoughtful side, summoning up the ancient Celtic tradition of breath-prayer meditation. Celtic Meditations includes pieces drawn from peaceful Celtic tunes throughout Europe—Galicia, Breton—and the diaspora into America, too.

Russell Doherty, the founder and bandleader, was inspired to make an album of meditative music after a brush with basal cell carcinoma.“I had to calm down, and in between operations, I got very much into meditating,” Doherty said. Unwinding daily to a Mozart for Meditation CD, he found peace in breathing exercises and felt inspired to navigate the calmer reaches of his band’s catalog.

The resulting rich tapestry of an album features nearly 20 pieces inspired by various geographies, mainly seasides and waterways of the world: the cliffs of County Clare, the castled Hebrides islands, the oaken California coast.“Clearly, we know part of the culture is the fun music for the pub; but also, there’s lots of stories in the literature about the sea, and the splendor and the beauty of Ireland proper, and that’s what this celebrates,” said producer and longtime Dannsair collaborator Dom Camardella.

Camardella is the longtime owner and magic maker of Santa Barbara Sound Design — a man who has for 40 years brought to life the sounds of acts such as Depeche Mode, Kenny Loggins, and Yes. Celtic Meditations sees him revisit his new-age and smooth-jazz days with the Higher Octave Collection. “Without Dom, none of my CDs would have been possible,” Doherty said. “You come in here, and he totally does not bring his ego to your project. He embraces whatever you want to do, and then he tries to find ways to support what you’re doing.”

Raise a glass to all things relaxing at Dargan’s on Thursday and support the life and legacies of these amazingly prolific and uncommonly warmhearted gents.

FIRE & FUNK: On the opposite end of the musical spectrum, this week offers up a chance to hear some of the freshest grooves from points near and far.

First, the Con Brio show at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) will be the place to be Friday, May 18, at 9 p.m., with opener Echo. Rarely does Santa Barbara welcome soul funk so searing, a San Franciscan outfit akin to Sly & the Family Stone and James Brown but with mind-bendy brass breakdowns not unlike Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew; the roof of the sucker may be torn off, so to speak.

TIME FOR TUAREG: In a very special event, Mercury Lounge (5871 Hollister Ave., Goleta) and KCSB cohost Mdou Moctar Monday, May 21, at 9 p.m.

Originally from a small village in the Azawagh desert of Niger, Moctar plays music that is a hypnotically spiritual and intensely felt style of guitardriven desert blues. For those who missed the recent Imarhan show at the Merc, you must make it out to this one.

t KjEE’s annual Summer Round-Up, rock lovers immersed themselves in a night of drum-and-guitar-boosted sets by Dante Elephante, Law, Awolnation, Cold War Kids, and Dirty Heads. Santa Barbara indie legend Dante Elephante opened with a dreamily composed set highlighted by woozy guitar strums. Next up was Law, whose lead singer, Jakob Nowell, showcased his lilting falsettos. The At the S.B. Bowl, punk-rock elements of its set got Fri., May 11. the audience on their feet, with some joining in the music by playing air guitar.

Alt-rock band Awolnation had an energetic stage presence that included electrifying guitar solos. Lead singer Aaron Bruno repeatedly asked the crowd, “Are you comfortable with who you are?,” encouraging attendees to ditch insecurities and freely express their feelings for the live music. During the harmonious per-

formance of the band’s hit “Sail,” which gained prominence in the electronic-dance genre, most concertgoers raised their phones to capture the moment.

Cold War Kids were hypnotic as they trotted out their hits “Hang Me Up to Dry” and “First.” The instrumental arrangements from the band’s latest album, L.A. Divine, embraced soul-induced rhythms, exemplified by the jam “Love Is Mystical.” Lead vocalist Nathan Willett exclaimed his gratitude for playing at the Bowl, saying, “We can’t wait to perform here and actually play a full set at this beautiful venue.”

Strobe lights and the roar of the audience accompanied the energetic spirit of reggae performers Dirty Heads, who offered a smorgasbord of eclectic sounds, from rap-leaning lyricism to rock delights that kept the crowd headbanging until the last minutes of the show.

’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,” said Brad Paisley in a recent interview with the Santa Barbara Independent. The country music superstar and Montecito resident made good on his word this past weekend, immersing himself in the community of which he is clearly proud to be a part. Paisley performed a benefit concert at the Ellen DeGeneres and Brad Paisley Santa Barbara Bowl on Saturday, May 12, patronized a slew of area restaurants and shops (and invited who joined her for a hilarious attempt at writing a his fans to meet up with him at song on the spot about Montecito and Santa Barbara, At the S.B.

BABYLON BERLIN

Netflix’s Original Series Explores 1929 Germany’s Weimar Republic

B

ack in the day, long before TV attained its current lofty status, filmgoers sometimes caught a prophetic taste of television worthy of a big-screen experience. Some three decades ago, for instance, a faithful throng filed into the old Victoria Street Theater to catch five three-hour segments of director Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s brilliant television series Berlin Alexanderplatz, a fittingly sprawling adaptation of Alfred Döblin’s 1929 novel about Berlin during the fragile but culturally fertile Weimar Republic.

Now, courtesy of Netflix, we are able to see the nearly as long, equally as fascinating Babylon Berlin, Tom Tykwer’s (Run Lola Run) bold adaptation of Volker Kutscher’s novels set in 1929’s Berlin, at home. The New York Times cited Tykwer’s masterful series as one of the most “binge-worthy” of the season, an apt appraisal.

A seductive, gritty, film-noir-basted wonder, this is a powerful triumph for Tykwer’s triumphant achievement with the blessing of television — at $40 million, it’s reportedly the most expensive German television production ever. (Tykwer’s frequent composer collaborator, Reinhold Heil, lived and worked in Santa Barbara for several years, FYI).

At the heart of Babylon Berlin’s complex, sometimes dizzying, multicharacter narrative are two protagonists whose own backstories are knottily complicated.

Inspector Gereon Rath (Volker Bruch), a dogged detective who gets implicated in volatile criminal actions on many scales, is a World War I veteran suffering from PTSD and guilt and finding some refuge in morphine.

Charlotte Ritter (the coolly captivating Liv Lisa Fries, who is deserving of wider recognition on screens small or large) is from the poor area of Wedding and plays your not-so-basic, feminism-fueled aspiring homicide detective, and sometime prostitute to pay the bills, enduring abuse but teeming with can-do fortitude.

Meanwhile, there is violence in the streets, as with the May Day communist party protest that results in oppressive attacks by police and murderous fighting

BINGE-WORTHY BERLIN: Netflix’s new series keeps us tuned in via its magnetic and empathetic focus on the tales of woe and triumph involving two intrepid Berliners seeking truth and justice during the Weimar Republic.

over a presumed gold-filled train car. A dirty cop, Bruno Wolter (Peter Kurth), is in a dastardly alliance and thinks little of killing a fellow officer for his cause.

The era’s fragile socioeconomic-military balance — teetering in multiple directions in the flashpoint year of 1929 — between communists, the slowly building shadow army known as the Black Reichswehr, and general unrest in Germany between the wars is somehow conveyed on Tykwer’s epic canvas. We palpably sense the festering tension in a city that will soon enough morph into Hitler’s evil masterplan for Germany.

While historical accuracy is an important and driving factor in the rambling story, there are also touches of latter-day, postmodernist remodeling, with trace elements of the mash-up aesthetics of Moulin Rouge or Cabaret. Suave rock idol Bryan Ferry, known for his obsession with ’20s-era music, even shows up as a nightclub singer, a man out of time but perfectly in sync with Tykwer’s vision of the piece.

Babylon Berlin is, on the macro scale, a portrait of a city, nation, and world on the precipice of something supremely horrific. But the series keeps us tuned in and binging via its magnetic and empathetic focus on the tales of woe and triumph involving two intrepid Berliners seeking truth and justice. Rath and Ritter are ready to take on sinister forces and innately unprepared for the sea change to come. But that story needs no introduction.

This illuminating and warmhearted doc about longstanding Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg opens with a lovely swatch of Italian opera and then the noxious sound of conservative mouthpiece Sean Hannity’s voice saying, “This witch, this evildoer, 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.

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.

Solo: A Star Wars Story

O Isle of Dogs

(101 mins., PG-13)

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

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

Rex (Edward Norton) hangs desperately onto obedience in an upside-down world. The dogs muse, fight, love, and mourn. They perfectly personify the capriciousness and loyalty of a human’s best friend and humans themselves, all the while bounding through a world beautifully crafted by Anderson and his puppeteers. The cast also includes Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Tilda Swinton, and Yoko Ono. (TH) The Hitchcock Let the Sunshine In (94 mins., NR) Juliet Binoche plays Isabelle, a Parisian artist who is divorced and hoping to find true love. The film is based on Roland Barthes’s 1977 book A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments.

O A Quiet Place

(90 mins., PG-13)

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

humans using hypersensitive hearing. The Abbott family — husband Lee (Krasinski), wife Evelyn (Emily Blunt), deaf daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds), and sons Marcus (Noah Jupe) and Beau (Cade Woodward) — must live silently in order to hide from these mysterious monsters. The script, setting, and production are original and fantastically constructed. Krasinski and Blunt are married to each other in real life, and Simmonds is also deaf in real life, all 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/Metro 4

The Rider (104 mins., R) Billed as an adventure/comedy/drama, director (and Ojai resident) Chloé 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

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.

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF MAY 17 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): According to my assessment of the astrological omens, your duty right now is to be a brave observer, fair-minded intermediary, and honest storyteller. Your people need you to help them do the right thing. They require your influence in order to make good decisions. So if you encounter lazy communication, dispel it with your clear and concise speech. If you find that foggy thinking has started to infect important discussions, inject your clear and concise insights.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): A chemist named Marcellus Gilmore Edson got a patent on peanut butter in 1894.

A businessperson named George Bayle started selling peanut butter as a snack in 1894. In 1901, a genius named Julia David Chandler published the first recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. In 1922, another pioneer came up with a new process for producing peanut butter that made it taste better and last longer. In 1928, two trailblazers invented loaves of sliced bread, setting the stage for the ascension of the peanutbutter-and-jelly sandwich to its full glory. According to my analysis, Taurus, you’re partway through your own process of generating a very practical marvel. I suspect you’re now at a phase equivalent to Julia David Chandler’s original recipe. Onward! Keep going!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One of the most popular brands of candy in North America is Milk Duds. They’re irregularly shaped globs of chocolate caramel. When they were first invented, in 1926, the manufacturer’s plan was to make them perfect little spheres. But with the rather primitive technology available at that time, this proved impossible. The finished products were blobs, not globes. They tasted good, though. Workers jokingly suggested that the new confection’s name include “dud,” a word meaning “failure” or “flop.” Having sold well now for more than 90 years, Milk Duds have proved that success doesn’t necessarily require perfection. Who knows? Maybe their dud-ness has been an essential part of their charm. I suspect there’s

a metaphorical version of Milk Duds in your future, Gemini.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In my vision of your life in the coming weeks, you’re hunting for the intimate power that you lost a while back. After many twists and trials, you find it almost by accident in a seemingly unimportant location, a place you have paid little attention to for a long time. When you recognize it, and realize you can reclaim it, your demeanor transforms. Your eyes brighten; your skin glows; your body language galvanizes. A vivid hope arises in your imagination: how to make that once-lost, now-rediscovered power come alive again and be of use to you in the present time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The etymological dictionary says that the English slang word “cool” meant “calmly audacious” as far back as 1825. The term “groovy” was first used by jazz musicians in the 1930s to signify “performing well without grandstanding.” “Hip,” which was originally “hep,” was also popularized by the jazz community. It meant “informed, aware, up-to-date.”

I’m bringing these words to your attention because I regard them as your words of power in the coming weeks. You can and should be as hip, cool, and groovy as you have been in a long time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I hope you will seek out influences that give you grinning power over your worries.

I hope you’ll be daring enough to risk a breakthrough in service to your most demanding dream. I hope you will make an effort to understand yourself as your best teacher might understand you. I hope you will find out how to summon more faith in yourself — a faith not rooted in lazy wishes but in a rigorous self-assessment.

Now here’s my prediction: You will fulfill at least one of my hopes, and probably more.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Polish pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski once performed for England’s Queen

Victoria. Since the queen possessed that bygone era’s equivalent of a backstage pass, she was able to converse with him after the show. “You’re a genius,” she told him, having been impressed with his artistry.

“Perhaps, Your Majesty,” Paderewski said. “But before that I was a drudge.” He meant that he had labored long and hard before reaching the mastery the queen attributed to him. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Libras are currently in an extended “drudge” phase of your own. That’s a good thing! Take maximum advantage of this opportunity to slowly and surely improve your skills.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The ancient Greek poet Simonides was among the first of his profession to charge a fee for his services. He made money by composing verses on demand. On one occasion, he was asked to write a stirring tribute to the victor of a mule race. He declined, declaring that his sensibilities were too fine to create art for such a vulgar activity. In response, his potential patron dramatically boosted the proposed price. Soon thereafter, Simonides produced a rousing ode that included the phrase “wind-swift steeds.” I offer the poet as a role model for you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Be more flexible than usual about what you’ll do to get the reward you’d like.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Here’s the operative metaphor for you these days: You’re like a painter who has had a vision of an interesting work of art you could create — but who lacks some of the paint colors you would require to actualize this art. You may also need new types of brushes you haven’t used before. So here’s how I suggest you proceed: Be aggressive in tracking down the missing ingredients or tools that will enable you to accomplish your as-yet-imaginary masterpiece.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Useful revelations and provocative epiphanies are headed your way. But they probably won’t arrive sheathed in sweetness and light, accompanied by tinkling swells of celestial music. It’s more

likely they’ll come barging in with a clatter, bringing bristly marvels and rough hope. In a related matter: At least one breakthrough is in your imminent future.

But this blessing is more likely to resemble a wrestle in the mud than a dance on a mountaintop. None of this should be a problem, however! I suggest you enjoy the rugged but interesting fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One of the saddest aspects of our lives as humans is the disparity between love and romance. Real love is hard work. It’s unselfish, unwavering, and rooted in generous empathy. Romance, on the other hand, tends to be capricious and inconstant, often dependent on the fluctuations of mood and chemistry. Is there anything you could do about this crazy-making problem, Aquarius? Like could you maybe arrange for your romantic experiences to be more thoroughly suffused with the primal power of unconditional love? I think this is a realistic request, especially in the coming weeks. You will have exceptional potential to bring more compassion and spiritual affection into your practice of intimacy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to dream up new rituals. The traditional observances and ceremonies bequeathed to you by your family and culture may satisfy your need for comfort and nostalgia, but not your need for renewal and reinvention. Imagine celebrating homemade rites of passage designed not for who you once were but for the new person you’ve become. You may be delighted to discover how much power they provide you to shape your life’s long-term cycles. Ready to conjure up a new ritual right now? Take a piece of paper and write down two fears that inhibit your drive to create a totally interesting kind of success for yourself. Then burn that paper and those fears in the kitchen sink while chanting, “I am a swashbuckling incinerator of fears!”

LEGALS ADMINISTER OF ESTATE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: Toyoko Rogers Case No.: 18PR00213 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of Toyoko Rogers.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: David A. Chavez in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that: David A. Chavez be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 06/14/2018 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division.

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

You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

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

Code of Regulations, §§ 150000, et seq.), and the City’s Environmental Review Guidelines. The City of Goleta is acting as the Lead Agency for this project. The Draft EIR identifies and discusses potential impacts, mitigation measures, monitoring requirements, and residual impacts for the identified subject areas.
