DISASTER RECOVERY

Elevating Montecito

T

he Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Monday released its muchanticipated recovery map, which updates the Montecito and Carpinteria Valley floodplains impacted by the 1/9 Debris Flow. In deciding whether and how to rebuild, residents who lost their homes in the natural disaster can consult the map to see how a 100-year flood —defined for mapping purposes as 15 inches of rain in 24 hours in the mountains, or eight inches in 24 hours along the coast—would likely affect their property. In any given year, there is a one percent chance of a 100-year flood. The map defines high hazard areas along and between creeks during such floods, and it shows the likely depth of floodwaters, ranging from half a foot to more than 10 feet deep, on top of the mud and debris that was left behind. Santa Barbara County will require the first floor of new homes near creeks to be built at least two feet above advisory flood-water elevations. Lynn Conrad-Armstrong (pictured), who slept through the January storm in her Glen Oaks Drive home built on caissons, has already decided to leave; she’s hoping her property can be transformed into a public park.

A community meeting to discuss the FEMA map will be held downtown at 6 p.m. tonight, June 14, in the fourth-floor hearing room of the County Administration Building, 105 East Anapamu Street. “The decision of whether or not to rebuild rests entirely with the private property owners of Montecito,” said Matt Pontes, county assistant executive officer.

La Cumbre Junior High Loses ‘La Jefa’

T

PAU L WE LL M A N FI LE P HOTO

Principal Jo Ann Caines, 70, Succumbs to Long and Mostly Hidden Illness

by Nick Welsh

hroughout her career, Jo Ann Caines had a lot of names attesting to her ferocity and formidability.“Mamma Bear” and “Tiger Mom” were just two. But at La Cumbre Junior High School — where Caines ruled the roost with undisputed authority— she was known simply as “La Jefa,” meaning The Boss. Last week, La Cumbre lost La Jefa as Caines succumbed to an unspecified illness, surrounded by members of her immediate family, at age 70. Although Caines had been on medical leave since April, news of her death last week came as both a shock and a surprise to those in the Santa Barbara Unified School District community.

When Caines took over as principal at La Cumbre in 2005, district officials were on the verge of pulling the plug on what was then a very troubled school. Enrollments were plummeting; test scores likewise. La Cumbre had become Santa Barbara’s poster child for a white-flight school. “It was basically out of control,” said school boardmember Kate Parker. “Students were walking around the school grounds; they were walking in the hallways. They were everywhere except where they needed to be.”

Caines was brought in as a mid-semester Hail Mary, the previous principal having suffered a nervous breakdown. She prowled the hallways, both greeting and confronting

Jo Ann Caines

students and shooing them into classrooms.

She instilled on the campus a semblance of discipline. Students who acted out quickly got invited to her office for lunch—not an offer to be lightly declined. While sitting at a round

table in her office, Caines would share a meal with students as well as her thoughts on what was happening in their lives.

Caines didn’t talk particularly softly; she was the big stick personified. “She wasn’t obviously warm and fuzzy,” recounted Parker.

“But when it was all said and done, she really cared about the kids. She wanted them to do well. It mattered.”

Under Caines’s leadership, enrollment at La Cumbre jumped from 404 to 535. Reading proficiency scores increased by 20 percent. And for all Caines’s determination, white flight has remained an issue, and La Cumbre has remained about 85 percent Hispanic. Caines set out to make the campus an epicenter of the Westside community, opening the doors at 7 a.m. and shutting off the lights 12-14 hours later. In addition to all the usual after-school programs, Caines and La Cumbre offered free dinner, late-night tutorial services, and free classes for parents, such as yoga and woodshop. Even on weekends, the Modoc Road campus pops with various dance, sports, and music events.

According to Parker, Caines was shrewd and canny about leveraging state education funds. Along the way, Caines used whatever tools were at her disposal to push performance. “She raises the bar. She holds it there. You will succeed,” said Michael Baker, director of the United Boys & Girls Clubs

NEWS BRIEFS WILDFIRE Property owners throughout Santa Barbara County are required to maintain a wildfire buffer — referred to as “defensible space” — of 100 feet around homes and outbuildings year-round. On 6/15, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department will begin inspecting properties and educating owners on compliance. Defensible space is the area around a structure free of flammable plants and objects, according to sbcfire.com. It creates a zone where firefighters can operate safely to protect a home during wildfire.

COMMUNITY Kick Ash Bash organizer One805 has distributed more than $1.3 million raised by the event. The largest beneficiaries were first responder agencies, which collectively got about $1.1 million. Of this, $700,000 was for three mobile command centers for Santa Barbara police, the Sheriff’s Office, and fire departments; $50,000 went to the At Ease Program, which provides counseling to first responders. Direct Relief received $100,000 for its 1/9 Victims Fund, the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara got $25,000 for children of first responders, and the S.B. Equine Assistance and Evacuation Team and Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue each received $25,000.

WATERFRONT The City Council approved a $194,000 contract with Goleta-based Cushman Contracting Corporation to install railings on Stearns Wharf. Wooden guardrails will be installed near the passenger-loading ramp on the east side of the wharf, while cable guardrails will be added to its seaward end. Existing guardrails near businesses and the entrance of the wharf will also be upgraded in the coming years. Over the last decade, there have been several incidents of people falling or driving off the wharf, said Karl Treiberg, the waterfront facilities manager. “We understand some people want to leave it the way it is … but with over one million pedestrians and 250,000 cars heading out on the wharf every year, we feel the project is the best way to protect the public.”

COUNTING CHICKENS? Concerned with allocating money that hasn’t shown up yet, Supervisor Janet Wolf, in her 12th and final budget hearing, voted against the county budget.

Wolf Votes No on County Budget

S

econd District Santa Barbara County Supervisor Janet Wolf voted against adopting the $1.1 billion 2018-19 fiscal budget at Monday’s hearing—her first vote against a budget in her 12-year tenure. It will also be her last; she retires this year. Wolf said her reservation stemmed from the inclusion of the county’s all-new cannabis-tax revenue as a onetime funding source for projects.

On June 5, voters passed the tax on cannabis operations. The ballot measure estimated a revenue stream between $5 million and $25 million annually. However, the board used a much more conservative income of $6.2 million, of which $1.7 million funds enforcement against illegal cannabis operations. This first year, about $4.6 million will be available as a onetime funding source to distribute among one-off investments or projects. However, wary of allocating money they do not yet have, supervisors erred on the side of caution and reduced

the net cannabis tax revenue expectation to $3.75 million. They distributed the money among maintenance, public libraries, and the utility-grade solar ordinance and placed $1.5 million back into the strategic reserve.

The majority of supervisors were on board, and the budget passed with a vote of 4-1.

“I’m incredibly disappointed,” Wolf said.

“We are moving forward with an allocation of money that we don’t even know that we have.” First District Supervisor Das Williams disagreed. “I think it’s a fiscally prudent budget,” he said. Fourth District Supervisor Peter Adam, known for voting against the majority, commended Wolf. “I think it’s really healthy when not everyone votes for a budget,” he said.“Coming up with something that not everybody can agree on — that means it’s better.” Before the meeting adjourned, Williams led the supervisors in a round of applause for Wolf’s 12th and final —Blanca Garcia budget hearing.

City Pot Competition Heats Up

S

anta Barbara took another step in its march toward a cannabis-infused future as two teams of would-be cannabis oil manufacturers made detailed presentations to City Hall in hopes of securing necessary permits.

The first group was led by Ryan Howe, who for the past three years has been trying to win approval for a medicinal marijuana dispensary on Milpas Street, which he claimed will open in two weeks. Helping Howe with a new facility slated for 400 West Gutierrez Street is a team of tech-talking experts. One claimed to have worked with movie director James Cameron on a cannabis delivery system, and others described the software they devised to track every molecule of cannabis from seed to smoke. Howe is proposing to operate cannabis home delivery and wholesale transportation from the site.While the home delivery market is already saturated with unlicensed businesses, there’s currently no one in Santa Barbara County providing wholesale trucking service. Given that Santa Barbara has more licensed cultivators than any county in the state, that’s a significant void.

Proposing a similar but bigger operation on Reddick Street is the same Coastal Dispensary consortium seeking permission for a retail outlet on Chapala Street.

Where Howe is proposing to use hydrogen-powered delivery vehicles, Coastal is proposing to use hybrids, and it too would manufacture oils and oil-based products. The two proposals will be further evaluated by City Hall’s five-person panel, leaving the final decision to City Administrator Paul Casey. A decision should be forthcoming by the end of the month, as well as which of the six retail proposals get chosen for three available slots.

Meanwhile, the Sheriff ’s Office announced Tuesday that a Carpinteria growing operation was targeted by four male armed robbers. Initially, it appeared the would-be robbers were held at gunpoint by a security guard.

‘Something I Had to Do’

CRIME

by Nick Welsh onday was a serious bad-hair day for veteran prosecutor Ron Zonen. First, his expert witness — Encino-based forensic psychiatrist David Glaser — was forced to admit to ethical lapses: He’d prescribed the morning-after pill for a client with whom he’d had a sexual relationship and was put on probation by the state psychiatric association. Then Glaser was forced to admit under cross-examination he’d been removed from a psychiatric panel that he continues to list on his professional résumé.

Glaser had been hired by Zonen, one of the county’s premier prosecutors, to conduct a psychiatric evaluation of Nicolas Holzer, who four years ago stabbed his father, mother, two sons, and the family dog to death, to determine whether Holzer was legally sane or insane at the time of the killing. It’s a tricky question. At issue in this trial is whether Holzer could morally distinguish between right and wrong when he murdered his family. If he couldn’t, Judge Brian Hill will have to find Holzer not guilty by reason of insanity. If he could, Holzer will be sentenced to prison the rest of his life.

At the time of the killing — and many times since — Holzer told investigators and psychiatrists that he had to kill his family to save them from the eternal damnation he believes awaits him. “I felt I had to do it,” Holzer told Glaser,“because I’m going to hell for eternity.” For much of the past 20 years, Holzer has believed he’s one of the most evil people on the planet. He claims to have killed people on every continent and holds himself personally responsible for — among many things — the spread of AIDS and the carnage inflicted by the atom bombs dropped on Japan. Since 1995, Holzer has also twice attempted suicide and has twice been locked up in psychiatric hospitals.

Based on a two-hour videotaped interview conducted 17 hours after the murder, Glaser concluded Holzer clearly understood the difference between right and wrong.

Holzer’s insistence that he had to kill his family to save it, Glaser stated, was an effort to avoid and deflect responsibility. But in court Monday, it appeared Glaser’s interview of Holzer violated medical ethics established by the American Psychiatric Association, which bars members from conducting psychiatric evaluations of people facing criminal charges who lack legal representation. At the time of the interview, Holzer had no attorney. His current attorney, Christine Voss, is a heavy hitter with the Public Defender’s office. Voss grilled Glaser: “Do you violate the ethical guidelines every time you do forensic evaluations, then?” Glaser replied,“Of course not.”

He testified that Holzer’s case history is not at all typical of other delusional cases he’s seen. He expressed serious doubt about Holzer’s claim — first made two years after being arrested — that God told him to kill his family. Glaser said he found the timing of that assertion “convenient” and “self-serving.” The fact that Holzer said he tried to kill his parents quickly so they did not suffer

A TOUGH DAY IN COURT: An expert witness called by veteran prosecutor Ron Zonen (pictured) struggled during cross-examination.

proved he could distinguish between right and wrong. The fact Holzer experienced no relief after the killing — as Holzer also stated — was further proof, Glaser argued, that he knew that his actions were morally wrong.

Holzer’s psychiatric history provides ample evidence from which both sides can make a case. Glaser echoed arguments made by Zonen questioning the depth of Holzer’s psychosis; both made much of the fact Holzer went 10 years — 1999-2009 — without psychiatric intervention, medication, or serious incident. Glaser likewise highlighted a court-ordered psychological evaluation conducted in 2007 when Holzer and his wife, Juanita, were going through a bitterly contested divorce and custody battle over their two kids. Based on that evaluation, Judge Thomas Anderle awarded Holzer sole custody.

Voss peppered Glaser with instances in which Holzer described accidental car deaths as evidence of his essential evil. These accidents took place on dark, unlit roads, Voss pointed out, adding they had only happened in Holzer’s tortured imagination. Holzer also blamed himself for shooting and killing someone trying to shoot a friend. The story was one of self-defense, Voss stressed, but noted it never actually happened. “His concept of right and wrong is a little offkilter, isn’t it?” Voss asked.

When Glaser accused Holzer of trying to “dispose” of the murder weapon, Voss pounced. She said Holzer had in fact put the two knives neatly on the countertop, rinsed his hands, and called 9-1-1. Would someone seeking to avoid responsibility do that? she asked. Judge Hill interjected to wonder the same thing.

Voss argued that Holzer struggled with two terrible choices: to kill his family or to have them go to hell with him. There was no right from wrong to distinguish in his psychotic and delusional state, only really bad from much worse. Judge Hill interjected again, asking Glaser directly whether that scenario was possible. Glaser suggested “the most efficacious” course open to Holzer was to commit suicide. But when pressed, the expert witness fumbled. “That’s a tough question,” he answered.“Anything’s possible. n I’m not sure.”

eavy winds, low humidity, and hot air combined last weekend to trigger the first Red Flag Warning of the year.

Fire officials countywide have prepped for weather like this, which was forecast for southern Santa Barbara County’s coastal and mountain areas, with increased staff and equipment since the beginning of high fire season on May 14. One fire was reported during the heightened fire period; in Santa Ynez, a homeowner was weed whipping on a five-acre parcel and sparked a 1.3-acre grass fire that was soon put out by County Fire and Los Padres forest personnel. At about the same time that the National Weather Service and local fire chiefs were making their Red Flag decision, Cal Fire released information on what started 12 of the roughly 170 fires that consumed Northern California last fall.

What’s called the October Fire Siege of 2017 burned 245,000 acres from Humboldt to Sonoma counties and across Mendocino and Napa to Butte County and killed at least 12 people. The cause of eight of those fires were branches, treetops, or trees falling into

power lines, investigators concluded; four were caused by power equipment contacting the ground. The giant Tubbs Fire was not on this list. Altogether, the collision of trees and PG&E power equipment during extreme winds and dry weather are so far blamed for a dozen of the Northern California firestorms. The potential for lawsuits has sent PG&E to Sacramento to lobby for relief, arguing that the magnitude of the losses the company faces means the state could lose a power provider.

An official cause has not yet been determined in the Thomas Fire, which began in December 2017, but attorneys for some fire victims have filed suit against Southern California Edison. The power company monitors Red Flag conditions, including in Santa Barbara, and had turned off the power in Idyllwild when extreme winds were forecast after Thomas started, spokesperson Steve Conroy acknowledged. He said he expected Edison to be working with local emergency officials to “align preparedness efforts” going into the summer.

of Santa Barbara County. When Baker first took over a few years ago, one of his first visits was to Caines. “She was very direct.

She was very blunt,” he recounted. “She told me she wouldn’t send any of her kids to [the Westside] club. I couldn’t believe it. I begged her.” Caines said the club was not safe; there was too much gang influence, she said, and not enough supervision. Two months later, Caines agreed to a visit. Impressed by the changes, she agreed to green-light the club for La Cumbre families. For Baker, that was a life changer for the Westside hub.

Caines worried about what happened to La Cumbre students when they moved on to San Marcos High School. Or as Parker put it, “She thought big; she thought vertically.”

Translated, Caines figured La Cumbre students would do better in high school if they transitioned in cohorts or posses. “People do better in groups,” Parker said, especially students from underperforming schools like La Cumbre. Caines worked it out with San Marcos administrators. She also made space available at La Cumbre for evening tutorials so that “her” San Marcos students could get the help they might need to keep abreast with San Marcos peers. By any metric, the program was a significant success.

Caines may seem an unlikely champion of the educational underdog. She herself had been a child of significant wealth and privilege. Her father, Frederic Slavin, owned one of Santa Barbara’s premier department stores. Her mother’s family helped found the Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation. Caines grew up in a house designed by Richard Neutra, one of Southern California’s defining architects of the 1950s. As a young girl, she had a rebellious streak and chip on her shoulder. She got into more than her fair

share of trouble, famously ditching French class by climbing out the windows when she herself attended La Cumbre Junior High.

Caines, it would turn out, had a great ear for languages, learning at one point to speak five. She regularly spent summers in Mexico. She was also a hell of a shot with a rifle, winning state honors on the Santa Barbara High School shooting team. She attended UCLA and then taught English as a second language in the Virgin Islands.

There she met the man she would marry and have two children with. While the children remained central to Caines’s life, the marriage did not last. In 1987, Caines got her first job with the district, teaching English as a second language. In 1995, she would become principal of the then-struggling Adams Elementary. By the time Caines left, she had helped turn it around.

For fun, Caines liked to go to Vegas. But mostly she liked to bet on her students.

“She’d say, ‘If these kids don’t succeed, it’s not their fault; it’s ours,” recounted Jon Clark, president of the James S. Bower Foundation. “She would not hold back about racism and about people she didn’t think should work for the district, he added.

“That perspective didn’t always make the district comfortable.”

Caines leaves behind shoes sufficiently huge that the district won’t think of filling them for another year. In the meantime, the school will be run by a team that includes assistant principal Mike Alvarez along with former La Cumbre math teacher Janet Hollister, who now runs a district-wide program on math instruction.

A memorial celebration of Caines’s life will be held on Saturday, June 16, at the La n Cumbre campus, starting at 1 p.m.

Homeless Champion Dies

K

en Williams, who for years functioned as both homeless advocate and social worker, died this past weekend after a long struggle with blood cancer. Williams, also a prolific writer of political thrillers with decidedly progressive themes, believed his exposure to Agent Orange while serving in Vietnam as a U.S. Marine contributed to his illness.

Williams worked as a social worker for nearly 35 years in Santa Barbara County, dealing with people on the streets and getting as many as possible signed up for federal assistance. With his signature gray ponytail and gentle swagger, Williams was anything but a faceless county bureaucrat. He developed a style that was one part renegade and two parts activist, regarding the plight of his clients as a civil rights struggle based on income inequality. Because he had wealthy friends with political connections, Williams had the latitude to define his work as more a

mission than a job.When people on the street began dying in alarming numbers back in 2009, for example, Williams used his media connections to create a bully pulpit, asking loud questions and demanding action.

Williams retired six years ago at age 62, stepping down with no advance warning, explanation, or preparation for a successor.

While his Lone Ranger style chafed some of those digging in the same trenches, his departure from the public sphere left a hole —Nick Welsh that was never filled.

Democratic incumbent Salud Carbajal winning by a vast majority there, Caldwell said Fareed needs to “attack Salud” and provide voters with “PASSIONATE reasons to vote for him.”

In a subsequent email exchange, Caldwell added that Fareed needs to portray Carbajal as “a certified swamp creature”of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, “in view of their nearly identical voting records.” Caldwell encouraged Fareed to press Carbajal on divisive issues like controlled burns and a guest-worker program.

In his group letter, Caldwell also urged Fareed to support the repeal of the gas tax, on the ballot in November. “I am still of the opinion that Justin wants to dodge some of the hot button items in order to appeal to decline to state voters and independents. I believe that won’t cut it,” he said. “Justin needs an EXTREME makeover at UCSB/IV.” Fareed issued a statement in response, pledging to share “the hard truth” about Carbajal being what he termed “a clone of Nancy Pelosi” and what he also called his “atrocious partisan voting record.”

Extreme Makeover for Fareed?

he same week Republican congressional candidate Justin Fareed made it onto the GOP’s official Young Guns list, Santa Barbara’s reigning conservative commentator and advocate Andy Caldwell took Fareed to task for not waging the kind of campaign needed to resonate with young voters in Isla Vista.“We need to host an intervention,” stated the plainspoken Caldwell in a mass mailing to those in his political orbit. For Fareed to have any chance, Caldwell noted, he had to perform much better with UCSB students and Isla Vista residents. “He has always done horribly on the campus!” Caldwell stated. “I don’t know why but it’s a huge problem.”

With Republicans casting 47 percent of the ballots in this June’s congressional primary — 37 percent for Fareed and 10 percent for Michael Erin Woody — the race appears to be much closer than it actually is, Caldwell noted. That’s because Isla Vista voters tend to vote overwhelmingly Democratic. Turnout in I.V. was only 5 percent in June, according to Caldwell’s newsletter; it will be far more, Caldwell expected, come November. With

LOOK BOTH WAYS: It’s official; they’re

coming. In fact, they’re already here.

Last Friday, 100 lime-green electric scooters mysteriously showed up on State Street sidewalks to be picked up and ridden by anyone with a few bucks and the capacity to download apps. As usual, the city mothers and fathers were up in arms and began impounding the alien intruders almost immediately. In the first three days, no fewer than 150 were seized and locked up. Proper permits had not been obtained. In Santa Barbara, the only semi-spontaneous act still tolerated is that of dying.

A few months ago, electric scooters as a mass phenomenon didn’t exist. Now, it seems, they’re everywhere, choking sidewalks—to hear some talk of it—in cities all over California. They are at once exceptionally utilitarian and irresistibly exhilarating.

In other words, they are here to stay.

In Santa Barbara, the scooters are the handiwork of LimeBike, a bike-share company that’s headquartered in San Mateo.

LimeBike began to set up their Santa Barbara operation a few weeks ago. But the real trouble began when Limbic Launch Wizard Cameron Swanson held a launch party at State Street’s Impact Hub, passing out 100 scooters.

Swanson had been meeting with city officials, including Urban Non-Car Czar Rob Dayton, who had both asked and told Swanson not to launch last week. An emergency permit was in the offing, Dayton said. Wait.

Night of the Living Dogs LimeBike is infamous for its culture of strategic impatience, hence the nickname “Slime Bike.” Swanson is new to the company and newer still to Santa Barbara. He either failed to comprehend the meaning of “wait” or simply chose to blow off Dayton.

On Friday, when those 100 scooters hit the streets, 34 were impounded. On Saturday, LimeBike doubled down, putting even more scooters out. City Hall impounded 80. On Sunday, it was the same dance, but only 34 scooters seized. Although no one was shot, Eliot Ness would have been proud.

In an interview early Monday morning, Swanson expressed surprise and disappointment over the vehemence of the city’s reaction. LimeBike, he said, would stop putting scooters out — at least for the time being.

But the company was asking customers, he said, to email city elected officials to voice their support for the new micro-mobility option. I suggested Swanson and his company appeared to have “stepped on their own dicks” in dealing with City Hall. It was early in the morning. Though he insisted otherwise, he sounded like he had just gotten up. It took him a while to answer. “No,” he replied, he did not think any male organs had been trod upon during the launch.

To state the obvious, it doesn’t help anyone’s cause to arouse the irascibly righteous wrath of City Attorney Ariel Calonne. Calonne compared LimeBike to Uber, Lyft, and every nefarious vacation-rental opera-

tor combined. He let it be known City Hall

would not tolerate any ill treatment. Calonne added if homeless people were to be chased off city sidewalks, it wouldn’t do for City Hall to allow electrified scooters to congregate there like heaps of elephant seals. There is such a thing, Calonne stressed, as equity.

Started last year, LimeBike is part of the new, exploding bike-share industry. Their target customers are supposed to be millennial worker bees who don’t wish to be encumbered by ownership responsibilities, even of bicycles. Companies like LimeBike had been offering pedal bikes and electric bikes to rent when a few months

ago, they discovered that the demand for scooter shares —inadvisably referred to as “Scoo-Share”—was easily three times more than that of bike shares.

Unlike the State Street shuttle — cumbersome, plodding, and picturesque in an old-school Disneyland sort of way — bike shares and scooter shares require no public subsidy to provide what transportation planners refer to as micro-mobility options.

Private investment capitalists are in a collective state of heat over the bike-share market, all but forcing millions into the pockets of bike-share moguls daily. The drive to expand market share is in full gold rush frenzy. In this context, “please,” “thank you,” and permit applications qualify as quaintly unaffordable delays.

But there are real issues. First, it’s against

the law to ride on sidewalks and for

good reason. It’s stupid and unsafe. Second, there’s the issue of helmets. State law requires anyone riding a motorized vehicle — especially one that zips around at 15 miles an hour — to wear a bike helmet. It’s not incumbent on bike-share companies, however, to provide the helmets.

That responsibility belongs to the rider.

One bike-share company is trying to get the laws changed in Sacramento to allow sidewalk riding — dumb — and to allow adults to ride without helmets — well, maybe. Helmet laws, while well intended, are all but unenforceable.

It’s worth noting that UCSB will be home to 300 bike-share bikes as of July 30. By September that number will double to 600. By the following year, it will be 1,200. Today, the Goleta Valley. Tomorrow, the world.

More immediately, next Tuesday, the City Council is poised to pass an emergency ordinance that will allow up to 300 of these new scooters on city streets effective immediately and up to two companies to operate.

For the record, this is absolutely the fastest City Hall has moved over anything in the history of ever.

I’d like to think this is in atonement for having run the food trucks out of town.

More likely, it’s a recognition of new realities. Scooters work. They’re fun. And they’re here. (But, of course, so too were the food trucks.)

Margaret Skeen 11/02/27-05/21/18

Jennifer Elaine Deppmeier (Wright)

Margaret Skeen passed peacefully in her home on May 21 at the age of 90. Born November 2, 1927 in Burbank, CA she moved to Santa Barbara at an early age.

Margaret attended local schools and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1945. She married Earl Smith Rodgers in 1948 and had three children prior to Earl’s death in 1955. Margaret’s greatest joy was her children and she raised them in Toro Canyon always loving and guiding them along their paths to adulthood.

In 1962, Margaret married Robert Clyde Skeen. They lived together at the family home in Toro Canyon. Robert preceded Margaret in death in 1980.

Margaret is survived by her three devoted children, Douglas Skeen and his wife Rosalyn, Phillip Skeen and his wife Lillian, and Alice Berg and her husband Steve, her brothers Bert DeYoung, Gerry DeYoung. and sisters Midge Moore and Pauline Pike.

Margaret is also survived by grandchildren Raytchell Cosentino, Michael McCann, Hank Rayner and Leah Newell.

After a retail career at Robinson’s and I Magnin, Margaret was a volunteer for Adventures in Caring, Hospice, Marian Medical Center in Santa Maria and Cottage Hospital in Solvang. The last 16 years of her life Margaret lived with her daughter and son in law, Alice and Steve in Solvang, CA. Our family sincerely thanks the caregivers from 1Heart and the nurses and doctors at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital MICU, and the nurses and staff of Santa Barbara Visiting Nurses and Hospice for their excellent and loving care.

A celebration of life will be held on June 23rd at 4:00pm for family and friends at the Doll Pond, 583 North Refugio Road, Santa Ynez.

Margaret would be honored to have donations to Santa Barbara Visiting Nurses and Hospice, 509 East Montecito Street, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93103 foundation@vnhcsb.org or the charity of your choice.

After a courageous and inspiring fight, Jennifer Elaine Deppmeier (Wright) of Santa Ynez, CA passed away on Friday, May 25th, 2018 surrounded by family at St. John’s Medical Center at the age of 42. Despite the challenges arising from being diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2010, she lived life to the fullest, pursuing what she enjoyed at every opportunity.

Jennifer was born on June 1, 1975 in Canoga Park, California to Paul and Cheryl Wright.

When Jennifer was young, the Wrights moved to Novato, CA. She attended schools in Novato including San Jose Jr High and Novato High School. During that time, she cultivated her love of travel by becoming an exchange student to both Denmark and Spain. She was active in the International Order of Rainbow for Girls and represented the State of California in Australia. Jennifer went on to study at U.C. Santa Barbara, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Evolution. She met her husband Tom in Santa Barbara and they married in 1999. Tom remembers the first time Jen walked into the room, when he saw her bright smile and realized that his world had been forever changed. Tom and Jen had two sons Augie and Luke, and Jennifer dedicated herself to being a fun, creative mother to them. During their young years, between supporting the boys at school, baseball and football games, Jennifer earned her teaching credential from CSU Channel Islands and began teaching. In 2012, she found her dream job and became the garden teacher at Ballard School, allowing her to pursue her two passions, gardening and teaching.

The Butterfly Garden at Ballard School was the result of Jennifer’s vision, hard work and dedication and will be named in her honor early next school year.

A glint in her eyes, a gleaming smile, a continual bustle in her kitchen and laughter were constants for those lucky enough

to be in Jennifer’s orbit. Friendships blossomed and family bonds deepened in the world of food and humor that she created.

She loved to host dinners that included days of planning and cooking, using organic fruit, vegetables and herbs from her garden. These dinners often turned into several day parties where she encouraged her intrepid friends to camp over in her yard.

She made her life a well-tended garden full of friends and laughter. Jen enjoyed adventuring far and wide, from Australia to Italy, and New York to Montana, but her favorite was traveling in the family motor home and finding stunning scenery and lakes full of trout, all while spending quality time with her boys.

Jennifer is survived by her husband Thomas and two sons Augustine and Luke and her dog Charlie of Santa Ynez, CA, her parents Paul and Cheryl Wright of Carpinteria, CA, her two sisters, Lani (Jack) Garfield of Palm Springs, CA and Laurie (Mark) Matthews of Carpinteria, CA as well as her supportive Deppmeier in-laws, nieces and nephews, cousins and many loving and lifelong friends.

The family would like to thank the Physicians and Nurses at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, St. John’s Medical Center in Santa Monica, and the Angeles Clinic in Santa Monica for the tremendous care and treatment provided to Jennifer over the years.

A celebration of Jennifer’s life is scheduled for Friday, June 22nd at 5:00PM at the Deppmeier residence. All are welcome to attend to reminisce, dance and celebrate Jennifer's life.

Richard E. Jorgensen 07/13/25-05/20/18

Richard E. Jorgensen, educator and author, a self-described kid from the Midwest who through a run of serendipity came to see himself as a citizen of the world, died at home in Santa Barbara of complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 92.

Dick (as he was known to everyone) embodied American Exceptionalism. From his early

years in Kenosha, WI, impacted

by Pearl Harbor and the onset of WWII, Dick looked outside of his own life and demonstrated a lifelong interest in everyone around him as well as those in other cultures. He had a curiosity about the larger world and America’s place in it.

Dick was a second-generation American, the son of immigrants from Denmark. He was born July 13, 1925, in Kenosha, WI. His sister, Jane, preceded Dick in death.

After serving at Great Lakes Naval Station during WWII, Dick attended Carleton College in Northfield, MN, with the help of the GI Bill, graduating in 1950. In 1954 he earned a master’s in history at the University of Michigan, and some years later (1972), a Ph.D. in history from Georgetown University. His thesis, The Honorable Bridge: An Historical Study of Japan’s Cultural Reputation in America, was completed in 1973.

In 1954, while at the University of Michigan, he was selected by The Committee for a Free Asia, now The Asia Foundation, to become a teacher ambassador in Japan. He fell madly in love with the people and the culture.

He was posted to Hiroshima University ten years after it was bombed by the United States. He found the Japanese to be a people who respected their traditions and yet had a voracious desire for modernization. He believed he was able to break through to his students by inviting them to his apartment to listen to jazz.

This was a halcyon time for Dick, who after his two-year teaching assignment took his first trip around the world, when he booked passage on a small steamer back to the United States through the Port of New York City.

After meeting his wife, Barbara Cook (a Carleton alumnus), in San Francisco on an elevator at the Asia Foundation building, the two lived in Berkeley, where they had two daughters (Susan and Anne). He claimed to have “never known up from down” since that famous elevator ride. He departed the Asia Foundation for Berkeley High School where he taught US History, followed by an assignment at UC Berkeley where he was a Trainer of History Teachers.

The couple moved to Washington, D.C., in 1966, where he worked for the Office of Education until 1980. During those years he was the national director of the Teacher Corps/Peace Corps program and director of

dissemination for programs in foreign languages and international studies in America. He and Barbara moved to Northfield, MN, in 1980 so he could take the job of director of alumni relations at his beloved Carleton College. The couple moved back to D.C. in 1985 to their home in Cleveland Park. Barbara died in 2004. Dick remained in their large home, entertaining and lodging all comers until finally consenting to sell his home in 2014. At that point he joined his daughter Susan and her family in Santa Barbara, where he continued his active involvement in the Congregational Church.

In fulfillment of a long-time desire, Dick traveled back to Hiroshima in October 2017 and met with several of his former students, who are themselves in their eighties. His experience on this trip was yet further affirmation of the hospitality of his Japanese associates.

Dick is the author of two books: O Tomodachi: (Friend) (2015) and Yuko, Friendship Between Nations (2017). His third memoir is almost complete: American Sensei (Teacher). He was also very passionate about his fourth book, But Not for Lunch, which is a compilation of vignettes about his first thirtyplus years of amusing happenstances after retiring.

Dick is remembered very fondly by his four grandchildren; Sam and Isabel (Susan and David Dickinson, of Santa Barbara); and, Catherine (Xan) Vongsathorn and Amy (Anne and Peter Farkas of Fairfield, CT), to whom he was a consistent and caring presence. The recent birth of his first great-grandson, Owen Vongsathorn, was an occasion of great joy and delight for Dick.

Dick felt that his life’s successes were made possible by a curious and accepting society that led by example and enfolded others without prejudice. He remained positive about the quality of the American people and deeply grateful for all of the opportunities he was afforded.

There will be a Celebration of Life in Santa Barbara on Saturday, July 14. Service information may be found through WelchRyce-Haider Funeral Chapel: http://www.wrhsb.com.

In lieu of flowers, gifts can be made to Friends of Los Banos del Mar Pool, P.O. Box 91622, Santa Barbara, CA 93190 or Fairfield Public Library, ATTN: Helene Murtha, 1080 Old Post Rd, Fairfield, CT 06824.

Separation Anxiety

W

hen and where do people separate mothers from their babies, toddlers, and children?

We’ve seen this on slave auction blocks, where Africans were seen as property to be bought and sold; on Native American reservations, when children were kidnapped and taken to boarding schools; inside the gates of German concentration camps, where people were seen as “vermin” requiring extermination.

The separation of mothers from their children is a prelude to literal and cultural genocide. For Border Patrol to be enlisted to carry it out tells us that those promulgating this policy see Latina mothers, Latino fathers, and their children through a racist lens: unwanted, expendable, and not susceptible to the maternal-child norms for “white” people.

Imagine looking back on this chapter of American racism from the distance of 30 years. The bitter taste will remain in our mouths, just as the heartbreak and rightful rage will continue to be carried by those directly suffering this travesty. We must stand together and say “NO!” Here’s how: Use ActBlue’s page to “support kids at the border” through six advocacy groups. Call your elected officials to demand an end to the practice of separating families (Congress: [202] 224-3121). Sign the End Family Separation petition sponsored by Women’s March National, which is to be delivered to Ivanka Trump.

Healthier California

L

ast month, more than 100 Central Coast activists traveled overnight by bus to Sacramento to stand in solidarity with immigrant rights groups and to advocate for health-care legislation that would bring our state closer to the goal of providing universal coverage for all Californians.

We applaud these efforts and proudly support Senate Bill 974, by State Senator Ricardo Lara, which makes the progressive promise to expand full-scope Medi-Cal, the state’s insurance program, to lowincome adults regardless of immigration status.

Two years ago, SB 75 created the Health4All Kids program.As a result, more than 200,000 children have been given access to health care through Medi-Cal. However, their parents are still excluded. More than half of the nearly three million Californians who do not have health insurance are unable to get coverage through Medi-Cal because of their undocumented status.

SB 974 alone could reduce the number of uninsured adults by almost one-third, leading to better health

outcomes for entire families. The people who would benefit from this policy shift are a vital part of our economy and community: They are our family, our neighbors, our friends, and our coworkers.

We believe health care is a human right and that health has no borders. Now more than ever, we need to remove barriers to health access and build strong, healthy communities. We know that health systems work best when everyone has access to comprehensive and preventive care.

We encourage you to stand up and join us in support of this critical piece of health-equity policy.

—Catherine Swysen, president, Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee; Christina Pizarro, president, Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County; Susan Deacon, board chair, Planned Parenthood Central Coast Action Fund

Not a Gem

T

he Coalition of Youth Advocates (COYA) is a teen alliance that increases awareness of the health risks of tobacco and encourages prevention policy change in Santa Barbara County. We believe that electronic smoking devices are negatively infiltrating popular youth culture.

A product like the Juul, with a sleek design that resembles a USB flash drive, makes it easy for youth to discretely vape nicotine-laced juice. Such products are a social-justice issue because of the way manufacturers, like Juul’s Pax Labs, capitalize on the vulnerability of youth through strategic marketing and the use of youthappealing flavors, such as fruit flavors. The tobacco industry is attempting to re-normalize smoking among youth and gradually introduce them to regular smoking and/or dual use. This is an alarming trend.

Unfortunately, it is a common misconception that these products are safe. The use of salt-based nicotine makes them highly addictive and dangerous. Ten puffs on a Juul are equivalent to one traditional cigarette’s worth of nicotine. Many youth do not realize that this habit is as addictive as it is.

COYA members urge our peers, parents, teachers, and politicians to educate themselves and take all possible steps to protect our youth from these products.

—Sage Dutter, president, COYA

For the Record

¶ One of the cannabis dispensaries, Coastal Dispensary, described in last week’s Angry Poodle Barbecue clarified that its Colorado partner holds only a 10 percent stake in the company; 85 percent of the ownership is in Santa Barbara.

Ann Marie (Whalen) Croyle of Santa Barbara passed away unexpectedly on April 27, 2018. She was surrounded by her children and grandchildren, who had gathered to celebrate her upcoming 90th birthday. Her birthday party subsequently turned into an Irish wake, where Ann’s long and meaningful life was celebrated by family and friends. Wife of the late Robert C. Croyle, she and her husband relocated to Santa Barbara in 2003 from Watertown, N.Y. Bob passed away in 2009.

Born in Watertown on April 30, 1928, to Patrick and Margaret (Gilligan) Whalen, Ann was one of nine children. She graduated from Watertown High School and then worked as a secretary for Empsall’s Department Store. After marrying in 1948, the couple settled in West Carthage, N.Y., where they began their family, eventually moving to Watertown in 1961. After their six children were grown, Ann worked for the county and state courts in Watertown. Ann enjoyed summers at the family cottage on Lake Ontario and her last 15 years in the warmer climate of California.

Ann was funny, smart, sharp, compassionate, and committed to social-justice issues. She was an avid reader, accomplished bridge player, and dedicated crosswordpuzzle solver. Her 15 minutes of fame came when, she, her sister Rose, and next-door neighbor Jean were photographed as children on a stone wall in a local park; taken by Willabel Cole Mitchell, the photograph was later featured on posters and notecards (Entre Nous or Girlfriends). Her laugh was a trademark and her family dearly loved to hear it. One of the last things she shared with them was her oft-repeated mantra: “Take care of your family: your family is everything.”

Ann Croyle is survived by her children: Robert J. of Burlington, MA.; Steven J. (Mary Lou) of Newfield, N.Y.; Martin W. (Abigail) of Wenham, MA.; Jeffrey A. (Pamela) of Essex, CT.; Linda M. (Lori) of Goleta; and Lisa A. of Wake Forest, N.C. She is also survived by eight grandchildren, a great-granddaughter, countless friends, faithful bridge partners, and a multi-generational extended family, who all miss her terribly. She was a parishioner of St. Raphael's Church.

Candid Reno Chackel 06/03/26-06/05/18

Candid Reno Chackel passed through the gate to heaven after living his entire life in Santa Barbara.

Reno passed away peacefully on June 5th, two days after his 92nd birthday, in the comfortable home his family created for him after they lost everything in the Montecito debris flow.

Reno, or CR, as his friends often called him, was born June 3, 1926 to Candido A. Chackel and Luisa Favaro Chackel. Reno served in the Air Force after his graduation from Santa Barbara High School. Reno graduated from Santa Barbara College of the University of California with a Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1951 he married Carol Ann Korbus at All Saints Episcopal Church. From this union Robert, David and Barbara Chackel were born.

While in college Reno was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. Reno worked at Harris and Frank and Silverwood’s during college and the early years of his first marriage. He later became a real estate broker and worked over 50 years in the industry.

Reno married Joan Giovanola in 1969 at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church. They were blessed with two children, Julie and Paul.

The family led an active life. Reno learned to snow ski in his late forties and could not be stopped as he sped down the mountains. Reno liked to fish and organized groups of friends to fish in the waters of Alaska and Mammoth Mountain. In his early years he earned his pilots license and loved to fly his plane. Golfing became his game of choice. He never lost his sense of humor and enjoyed having his friends and family near him until his time of passing.

Reno is survived by his first wife Carol Thompson and sons Robert and David (Connie) and daughter Barbara Chackel, his wife Joan and daughter Julie Stevens (Chris) and son Paul (Meredith). He has nine grandchildren; Jennifer, Katie, Danny and Kelly Chackel, Hayley Trimble, Allie and Chase Stevens, Taylor and Madelyn Chackel, and three great-grandchildren, Harper and Evie Heffington and Carson Livermore.

The family wishes to thank Reno’s dedicated caregiver, and guardian angel on January 9th, Violetta Orlanda, physician Dr. Michael Bernstein, and Hospice of Santa Barbara.

A celebration of Reno’s life will be held at the end of summer. In lieu of flowers, donations in Reno’s name may be made to the charity of your choice.

Kristin T. Galloway 10/30/39-05/23/18

Kristin Thornburg Galloway of Santa Barbara, California, passed away peacefully at home on May 23, 2018, following a courageous battle against cancer. She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Don Galloway; daughter Lisa Paine and son-in-law Will Paine of Danville, California; son Ryan Galloway and daughter-in-law Stefanie Galloway of Grand Junction, Colorado; five grandsons, Alexander, Thomas, Adrian, Michael and Julian. Kris leaves behind many dear friends and two beloved cats: Zoe and Calypso.

Kris was born on October 30, 1939 in High Point, North Carolina, to Aaron Carson Thornburg and Frieda Kiracofe Thornburg.

After enjoying a happy, farm-based childhood, she earned a degree in English from the University of NC at Greensboro where she worked on the campus newspaper.

Her next step was considered a bold step for a young woman at that time: moving to Manhattan with savings for only a two-week job search. There, Kris worked as a proofreader and an executive secretary, while actively volunteering to aid the impoverished.

Armed with teaching credentials from High Point University, Kris educated children in the Charlotte, NC, elementary school system for eight years. She met and married Don Galloway, with whom she shared an enduring love and exciting travel adventures while raising their children. Trusting Don’s entrepreneurial instincts, Kris aided his establishment of a successful, residential construction corporation. Somehow they found time to visit foreign lands, where Kris was inspired to take her skills of writing, photographing and painting to new levels.

Together, the couple explored the cultures of Asia, Africa, North and South America, Europe and Australia. With Don’s guidance, Kris learned to ski, copilot their plane, and sail their boat. She especially enjoyed memories of skiing in the Swiss Alps on their honeymoon and going on an African Safari in Kenya and Tanzania. She had a special place in her heart for Europe, particularly England and France.

With Don and their children, she sailed and yachted throughout the Caribbean, South Pacific, Mediterranean and Pacific Northwest.

In 1987, the couple moved their family to Breckenridge, Colorado, to foster their love of skiing black diamonds and to raise their children in a small town amid a winter wonderland. Kris pursued new interests in hiking, cycling and horseback-riding in the Rocky Mountains. Always immersed in artistic and spiritual matters, Kris studied Jungian psychology, conducted dream-work sessions with friends, and became active in a diverse network of artists, writers, and church members.

With magical efficiency, she volunteered her time and talent for community causes, serving on numerous boards.

After 24 happy years in Breckenridge, Kris and Don relocated to California to trade long winters for coastal living. Kris loved her 20

plastic water bottle. While you’re at it, buy products in glass containers.

Filter Your Fleece

We thought fleece jackets were so fabulous when they came booming onto the market — what a great way to use old plastic bottles! Ooooh, and they’re soft and warm. Wait a minute, what? It turns out that such garments — and blankets — are sources of microfiber pollution, shed from synthetic garments such as nylon, polyester, or acrylic. The fibers shed in the washing machine and go down the drain, and wastewater treatment systems can’t always catch them. They end up in the stomachs of sea animals and work their way up the food chain into humans.

(Holy cow!) We’d say consider dry cleaning, but this will melt your jacket! So it’s back to washing. Solution? Throw these items into a fiber filter bag before washing. The bag (available from specialty stores) collects the microfibers (like lint!), so you can scoop this lint out of the bag and discard with care.

Check the Cosmetics

“Experience a microburst for glowing skin!” “Scrubbing beads will transform you!” etc. Microbeads, which share the same bad genes with microfibers, may scrub your skin smooth or, used in toothpaste, make your teeth white, but they are plastic — and even more lethal to ocean life — because they resemble plankton.

Microbeads have been banned in the U.S. (the Microbead-Free Waters Act passed in 2015), but cosmetics containing them are still being phased out, and you will still find such cosmetics for sale. Starting July 1, 2018, the microbead law bans rinse-off cosmetics in interstate commerce and also stops the manufacture of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals containing microbeads. So, don’t buy microbead products! Try a loofah sponge instead … (a natural one, of course)!

There! You have all these useful ways to participate in World Oceans Day — every n day!

Robin Williams, Chris Cornell, Anthony Bourdain, and Kate Spade commit suicide, it gets the nation thinking about why people take their own lives — and what can be done to prevent it. In 2016 alone, nearly 45,000 Americans died by suicide. The 2017 data is not out yet, but according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the overall rise in suicide from 1999 to 2016 is 25 percent. The increase in suicide crosses all sexes, ages, races, and ethnic groups.

Understanding suicide is generally guided by questions about cause: “What made them do it?” The overwhelming sense of shock and betrayal overrides any other feelings because of a desperate wish to “undo” what happened. There is much more to understand about suicide. The term “death by suicide,” used by family therapists and other mental-health professionals, captures the complexity, pain, and helplessness more than “committed suicide” — a term that suggests a sense of power and control.

To be sure, power and control are not a formula for suicide. The opposite is true: There is a real sense of no power and no control — only pain.

Would you believe the multigenerational family provides a context that can help us predict future candidates for suicide? If there is a suicide in even one generation, then there is a high probability that there will be a suicide in the present or future generations.

Suicide runs in families just like drug abuse and alcoholism; we can’t talk family without talking biology.

When we face hard problems, most of us experience the stress of not knowing what to do. Stress activates a physical response in our bodies that releases cortisol (a hormone). Cortisol is produced during the fight, flight, or freeze response. Excess cortisol has negative consequences on both physical and mental health because it prohibits relaxation and rest. Being totally wired or chronically stressed for long periods escalates the use of maladaptive responses to life problems. Stressors like infidelity, divorce, separation, caregiving, infant/toddler care, codependence, abuse, domestic violence, a traumatic loss, or any other overwhelming family experience can sometimes be enough to send any one of us “over the edge.”

LGBT teens and young adults have one of the high-

est rates of suicide attempts compared to the general population. When Adam brings home Steve, they might be cut off from nieces and nephews because their siblings don’t want their kids “exposed to that.”

This cutoff and homoprejudice within the family hurts and condemns. Carrying the condemnation to another level are the deadly wishes such as the “wish you were never born,” the “wish you would drop dead,” and the “wish you would just be normal.”

Not being able to find a place and a space among family who say they love you is especially difficult for teenagers who are developmentally struggling with identity in general and sexual identity in particular.

To be clear, our relationships with family and friends do not cause suicide. Indeed, the relationships in our lives can play a role in preventing suicide.

Everyone experiences problems that seem too hard to solve. So how do some tap into resilience when others seek permanent escape from their lives? The emotional life of the family is regulated through expectations around care, competence, and compassion.

These expectations exist in relationships and rarely do they change outside of therapeutic intervention.

Through therapy, families can tap into resilience — a strength that grounds families in the reality of this world and also feeds hope for vibrant, robust, and productive members in the present and future.

Suicide attempts present a complex public health problem with considerable variation in prevention and treatment. The American Association of Suicidology reports that for every suicide there are 25 attempts. This means 1,125,000 attempts resulted in the 45,000 suicides reported in the U.S. in 2016.

To disrupt a pattern of suicide in families means having the tough conversation about how Uncle Joe really died and answering the not-so-easy question about “Why would he do that to himself?” None of us can change our biology, but we can address our embarrassment, helplessness, and pain by creating an emotional life in our families that is about trusting and loving each other enough to be vulnerable about how we feel and what’s on our minds.

There are always signs prior to death by suicide, such as those listed below from suicideprevention lifeline.org. Should you notice any of these signs, please seek help by calling the Suicide Prevention Hotline: (800) 273-TALK (8255).

GO BLUE & GREEN IN 2018 OUR ANNUAL ADVENTURE GUIDE TO THE GREAT OUTDOORS

MICHAEL KUREDJIAN

For more than 20 years, we’ve proudly published our annual Blue & Green issue, a guide to the great outdoors.

While our stories surround adventures that we’ve already undertaken — this year, that includes crossing the channel, volunteering in the backcountry, and learning about birds on Santa Rosa Island — we hope the following pages inspire you to take your own journey into the forest or sea. Because to save these places for future generations, our first duty is to know them.

hat an exciting sense of color!” exclaims

a passerby, inhaling both the powerful ocean air and the expressive work of a member of SCAPE’s monthly en plein air “paintout,” this time on the bluffs above Devereux Beach in Isla Vista. Indeed, pursuing the moody colors of light and shadow is central to the outdoor painting tradition, which was started in the mid-19th century by student artists painting the forest of Fontainebleau in rural France. However, for the artists of SCAPE — which stands for Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment — it’s not only nature as the subject but also nature as the cause.

“I paint the trees and mountains,” said Filiberto Lomeli, his back mostly to the ocean as he daubs his full brush to form the majestic trees above the beach. He is the cochair of these paintouts, which happen on the second Saturday of each month, and has been coloring canvases with the organization for all 16 years of its existence, hoping to bring attention to our fleeting pristine areas.“The ocean will remain the same,” he explained, “but the trees and the vegetation will be gone because that’s what gets developed.”

SCAPE’s primary mission is to run exhibitions that raise money to protect open spaces while increasing public awareness of environmental and conservation issues. Its more than 200 members collaborate on three plein air shows each year, which are curated

by independent jurors and benefit environmental organizations.

For their show at the Maritime Museum on July 25, for instance, Heal the Ocean will receive 40 percent of all proceeds; that leaves 50 percent for the artist and 10 percent to fund SCAPE’s endeavors. Each show typically focuses on an area of interest to the beneficiary, and the themes and locations of each paintout routinely change.

Though there’s a sense of healthy competition with each paintout, the events also foster camaraderie and education. SCAPE’s president, Carrie Givens, hopes all skill levels feel comfortable joining the paintouts without pressure to submit to the exhibition.

“Maybe you will get better and feel confident about entering the show,” she said encouragingly.

SCAPE also hosts workshops led by renowned artists for those who really want to up their game. “We are a very friendly group,” said the aptly named Cezanne Totton, who helps organize the workshops. “You get to explore the art world and meet so many wonderful people.”

No matter what, spending the day contemplating the drifting sun over California’s celebrated, naturally brilliant tapestry is never wasted time.

See s-c-a-p-e.org for a schedule. The next paintout is on Saturday, July 14, 9 a.m.-noon, at Devereux Slough.

hile most favorite hiking spots along the

South Coast — from the Gaviota Wind Caves to Rattlesnake Canyon — fared well through winter, miles of trails in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties got hit hard by the Thomas Fire and 1/9 Debris Flow. Above Montecito, for example, Los Padres National Forest officials just recently lifted closures across the Thomas Fire burn scar, yet much of the extensive trail system within that boundary remains in pretty bad shape, even dangerous in some sections. Keep that in mind while setting out.

Having heard the good news about reopened access to federal land, my 7-year-old daughter and I ducked under the caution tape at the Hot Springs trailhead and walked right past U.S. Forest Service “Trail Closed” signage. I figured the feds hadn’t yet dispatched a ranger to remove signs. Turns out, many of the feeder trails leading to Forest Service land are easements owned by the county or — as with Cold Spring Canyon — the city and remain closed. Word around the campfire is that parks departments are waiting on Federal Emergency Management Agency recovery funds for trail assessment and repair.

The closure signs and trail damage seem to be discouraging many hikers; we saw only a handful during our Memorial Day weekend outing in Hot Springs Canyon, which is bursting with new growth, including plenty of poison oak. “It’s so peaceful,” my daughter said as she slipped off her sneakers to soak her sweaty feet in the creek. “But it’s also torturous because your legs get so tired.”

The next day, she got to chase frogs and dragonflies along San Ysidro Creek — but only after we ignored the closed trailhead and climbed over boulders and broken fencing placed across the trail by a nearby homeowner on West Park Lane across a historic access easement. I later learned that the upper reaches of San Ysidro Canyon are best accessed by starting at the Wiman trailhead and then hanging a left on Old Pueblo. I also hear that Romero Canyon is open; same with Carpinteria’s Franklin Trail, which is awesomely kid-friendly.

For updates on the area and ongoing efforts to reestablish trail sections that have been washed out or covered by rockfall, check in with the Montecito Trails Foundation at montecitotrailsfoundation.org.

In and around Ojai, the recent opening of the Thomas Fire acreage returns access to the Pratt, Foothill, and Gridley trails and Fuel Break Road. Many of the now-open National Forest trails are accessible via trails maintained by the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy (OVLC) nonprofit (OVLC.org), which manages 27 miles of trails across roughly 2,300 acres of open space, including the 1,600-acre Ventura River Preserve, most of which was burned by the Thomas Fire.

Just weeks after the wildfire came through, OVLC leaders and volunteers started trail recovery efforts, according to OVLC Stewardship Director Brendan Taylor, and the group is now working with the Bureau of Reclamation to replace the Rice Canyon canal bridge, which was destroyed by the Thomas Fire. The Chaparral Crest Trail is permanently closed, Taylor added, mostly to protect sensitive wildlife habitat and a nearby spring. “But we’re looking to create a new trail to make up for that loss,” he said. v

f you love the Santa Barbara backcountry, consider

joining the Los Padres Forest Association (LPFA) on an upcoming working vacation trail project.

Throughout the year, the volunteer organization cuts trails, cleans trash, and otherwise assists in the maintenance of our vast Los Padres Forest.

I joined an April trip along the Sisquoc River with the LPFA, and the trip gave this adventurer ample reasons to return. Here are four reasons to make your next local backpack a working vacation.

Choose Your Own Adventure: Join for two nights, or five — as long as you pitch in, it’s up to you. I joined the crew for the better part of four days bookended by solo time along the Sierra Madre Mountains. Meeting up along the staggeringly steep Jackson Trail, we shared a sense of freedom and fellowship: Any bit of work helped. Some stayed for an entire week or more, while other veteran voyagers volunteered in the midst of longer Sisquoc sojourns. Either way, there’s an immediate camaraderie in working alongside these former strangers, sharing already a common love of that mystic wilderness. Among us were Condor Trail thru-hikers and Los Padres rangers, ballet dancers and electricians, all of us paid in the dreamy river breeze and rolling hills of green.

Meet Local Legends: New volunteers work alongside longtimers who’ve dedicated their lives to preserving our area’s wild lands. There’s Bryan Conant, the cartographer célèbre whose works have aided thousands, a friendly leader whose smiles and quips lightened our workloads.

who carry with them mental anthologies of California backcountry history. Then there’s Richard Scholl, the dry-humored master chef who can fire up a pork loin and pineapple upside-down cake better than many a front-country cook and serve it with a side of campfire stories. His morning “Coffee’s ready!” bellow is so loud it seems to hasten on the dawn.

Trails Need Help: New trails cost the Forest Service thousands of dollars per mile to construct. In the ever-privatizing public lands, existing trails fall to the shortening seasons of limited budgets and personnel. Our intrepid team hacked at hills and knocked down dead trees with pickaxes and McLeod rakes. We piled rocks, heaved logs, and stroked saws to and fro, shearing shrubs and rerouting creek crossings under sprawling sycamores and willows. We were reestablishing a former wagon trail lost to decades of overgrowth. The work reopened the way for wilderness wayfarers that, for years, had to wander aimlessly along the river. It’s hard work but rewarding.

Time Away from Time: No phones, no worries. Miles from the nearest road, we were secure from the outside world. Down there, you can taste timelessness.

It blows past the old Montgomery homesteads and through the sycamore leaves, in frog serenades and floodplain debris. LPFA work rewards not only present but also future generations and future hikers, reclaiming routes the past has swallowed. It’s a small way of doing something bigger than yourself — the sort of trip that will give not just you but many others memories for years.

FINS OF FUN AND FEAR: Seeing dolphin fins while crossing the Santa Barbara Channel is a bonus, although other types of fins can give you quite a scare.

I

was having a tough time judging the angle the freighter was taking in the Santa Barbara Channel’s northbound shipping lane. Paddling in my kayak, I was sitting low on the water, kind of in no man’s land. I blamed it on the four, tail-fluking humpback whales spouting 50 yards off my bow, a fine distraction indeed. Do I sprint ahead hoping to see the freighter’s massive bow way over my left shoulder, or do I play it safe and back paddle northeast, out of harm’s way?

There’s always much to consider before attempting a channel crossing in the Santa Barbara Channel, destination the Channel Islands National Park. Float plan, check. Flares, radio, glow sticks, check. Compass, paddling leash, and spare paddle, check, check, and check.

I’ll study those weather reports and hope they’re somewhat accurate. I can never decide what’s more of a deterrent: dense fog or howling northwest winds?

I’ve paddled across in both, and it challenges any glimmer of positive energy working from my shoulders, down through my forearms, and eventually into my forward stroke.

I’m always on the lookout for marine mammals and big fish, too. It’s always inspiring and uplifting to be swarmed by several hundred common dolphins just off my bow. When I see them, I want them to stay with me until I’m within two miles of my destination. When I see fragile little seabirds like Cassin’s and rhinoceros auklets, hardy avian species that brave one of the most dangerous channels in the world,

I force myself to quickly stop feeling any sort of selfdoubt, especially once I’m beyond the oil platforms.

Of course, it doesn’t help things any when, on one particular solo crossing, a three-foot-tall dorsal fin rose out of choppy seas on the swell in front of me just beyond the oil platforms. Cruising west to east 50 yards off my bow, it dove below never to be seen again.

Needless to say, though, my head was on a swivel all the way to Scorpion Anchorage near the southeast end of Santa Cruz Island. I couldn’t help but have visions of terror, that faraway look a great white possesses as it eyeballs its prey. Sitting low in the water, I could easily see it catapult me out of my kayak or troll after me off my stern. I remember not stopping the rest of the way that day, no eating or drinking the final 10 miles.

My paddling pace maintained at a high clip, but so did a sore neck from looking over each shoulder.

Once I’m past the oil derricks, the Pacific Ocean seems to get a bit bigger, the north and southbound shipping lanes transform into some sort of paddling gauntlet, and beyond that it’s eight miles of nonstop paddling to the largest and most diversified isle off the California coast. Once inside the one-mile National Park boundary that extends around each isle in the park, I typically relax, soak in the moment, and realize it’s not that bad of a commute. (

Rodents can be unearthed by the disruption that construction, demolition and excavation have on their burrows. In anticipation of the Children’s Memorial Hospital demolition next month in Chicago, some Lincoln Park residents are asking for help from Treehouse Humane Society’s Cats at Work program, which uses feral cat colonies to kill or ward off rats, but if need be, the city will put rodenticide into burrows to eradicate the pests.

CARA PEDEN

BY “CONDOR” JOHN HANKINS

motto to “Explore, enjoy, and protect the planet” is expressed in Santa Barbara and Ventura through the Los Padres Chapter, which annually sponsors dozens of free outings to all corners of our region while also advocating to protect these same wildlands. Founded in the 1950s, the Los Padres Chapter helped to established the Los Padres National Forest via the Wilderness Act of 1964 as well as the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary in 1980, among many other victories.

Alisos Trail But hitting the trails remains a primary function of the chapter, and for all different reasons. Once, when I noticed that a certain hiking leader had stopped his singles-focused hikes, I asked why. “I met my wife on one of my single outings,” he replied. A lame excuse, I thought, but it shows how strong relationships can come from walks in our woods. Typical summer outings include hikes to the Gaviota Hot Springs, Bates Beach, and the Backbone Trail as well as rock hopping at The Playground above Goleta, a Santa Ynez River swim, and even the Riviera Urban Hike. See lospadres.sierraclub.org.

For those who want to go more “wild” but be prepared while doing so, the annual Wilderness Basics Course (Feb.-Mar.) assists all levels with tips and techniques, featuring numerous experts, gear to use, and tasty food. “You need to go and get lost in the wild to bring out the creative child in you,” advised graduate Shailaja Rao. See facebook.com/lospadresWBC. The club also sponsors three-day, three-island trips to Channel Islands National Park. This year’s trips are planned for July 15-17, August 19-21, September 23-25, and October 21-23. For details, email jhholtzhin@aol.com.

Ramallo-Whalen is sensitive to the sand’s limited space.

“We’re hyperaware of the fact this is a public beach,” she said. If someone wants to lay down their own towel where a cabana is perched, they’ll move the cabana, she promised. “We know this isn’t our beach.”

So far business is good.

“People are loving it, which warms my little heart,” said Ramallo-Whalen. “I think it’s going to be very popular with European tourists, but who I’m really hoping takes advantage of the cabanas are families.” She’s lending sand toys to customers for free.

few years ago on a hot summer’s day, Teresa Ramallo-Whalen and her 8-month-old son sat baking in their sweaty home. Mom whisked them to Leadbetter Beach, but it was a mess of a trip. Weighed down with a bunch of kid accoutrements but also forgetting a few key items, she struggled to set up a sun shade as her son wailed on the sand. Zero fun was had. So RamalloWhalen bagged the idea and drove them to a grocery store to cool off.

There’s got to be an easier way for young families to take spontaneous, less-encumbered trips to the beach, Ramallo-Whalen thought to herself.

And there is. She remembered back to her time studying abroad in Spain, where cabanas are super-common. In fact, the U.S. is one of the few places in the world they’re not.

On May 12, Ramallo-Whalen opened The Cabanas for business on Santa Barbara’s West Beach. She’s permitted for five, which are set up Wednesday through Sunday when the sun is out from noon to 7 p.m. They

As for the “protect” part of the club’s motto, the Los Padres Chapter has garnered national recognition thanks to volunteers, notably Jim Hines of Ventura and Katie Davis of Santa Barbara, who travel to Sacramento and Washington, D.C., to spread the message of renewable resources and ending fossil-fuel addiction.

The strength of our 6,000 members is also leveraged through partnerships with organizations such as the Naples Coalition and, when legal action is needed, the Environmental Defense Center.

And for the first time in its half century of existence, the Los Padres Chapter is hiring an executive director. Jon Ullman is a 19-year veteran of the club, and his work starts in July. “With an ever-increasing workload of issues affecting the environment, we are really excited we have been able to fund a full-time chapter director,” said Hines.“This is a big step, but the time is right.”

COURTESY S.B. ZOO

oing to the zoo is a rite of passage for many Santa Barbara families, but loud noises and large crowds can pose problems for children on the autism spectrum.

The Santa Barbara Zoo, with its new accreditation as a Certified Autism Center, is trying to change that.

The zoo’s menagerie will be the first Certified Autism Center on the West Coast, according to Julia McHugh, the zoo’s director of public relations. Staff has been trained through a program put on by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Santa Barbara Zoo Autism Certification Team (from left): David Velazquez, Aaron Marshall, J.J. McLeod, Dean Noble, and Nancy McToldridge Standards on how to work with kids who have different sensory needs.

The Potentials and Pitfalls of

N

Psychedelics

eurologists and psychologists have long believed that we humans are only using a fraction of our brain’s potential. With more than 50 years’ experience as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Richard L. Miller is one of the more well-versed professionals who share this opinion. He distinguishes himself from the mainstream, however, with a fairly major — and controversial — “other shoe” to this view: He believes psychedelics are a critical tool to unlocking the brain’s potential.

“Absolutely, yes, psychedelic medicine is a tool,” Miller explained. “They unlock parts of the mind that, heretofore, we are unable to access. It is a tool for wisdom and a tool for looking deep inside yourself and searching out fear.”

At 79 years young, Miller is an interesting case study in the landscape of psyRichard Miller chedelic scholars. He is not some recovering hippie who managed to parlay a youthful commitment to Leary’s “Turn on, tune in, drop out” into a career along the fringes of the mainstream.

Instead, his résumé is as straight as an arrow and as solid as steel. He has been on the faculty at both Stanford University and the University of Michigan, was a consultant for the U.S. Department of Justice and an advisor to the President’s Commission on Mental Health, and is the founder and director of Cokenders Alcohol and Drug Program. It is the latter venture that perhaps has earned Miller the most esteem, as it was remarkably successful in helping people break their cycles of addiction.

“I haven’t always been a public advocate [for psychedelics],” said the doctor. “I was quiet for a long time because I felt it was too politically risky. But ever since I first tried LSD some five decades ago, I have known it was a tool for unlocking parts of our consciousness that currently aren’t available to us.” Miller said it was a little over 10 years ago, as he was approaching Social Security age, that he decided “those of us who have been experimenting all these years and leading good and productive lives, it is time for us to be honest about psychedelics.”

Scientists and spiritual explorers have used mind-expanding substances as a tool for a long time, he went on. “We know [Carl] Sagan used it, we know Steve Jobs used it, and we know that it played a key role in [Francis] Crick and [James] Watson’s discovery of DNA, to name just a few.” But the potential of psychedelics does not stop at creative insight, according to Miller. It can be a tool for real and measurable healing of both body and mind.

“We all think of healing as an automatic process,” he said. “We get a cut on our hand, and, in time, it scabs over and heals. It’s magic, and it happens all by itself, or so we think. But it was you who healed your hand, and if it was you, that means there is an opportunity for volitional control. I believe that psychedelic medicines offer tools to access that control. Enough science is there, and many of us already know from personal experience that the potential is there. It is time to take the next step.”

Oh, Say, Can You

T

C-Word?

he word couldn’t have gotten more buzz if Trump’s stubby thumbs had tweeted it from his golden toilet.

The once-verboten, inarguably vulgar C-word has been on everyone’s whispered lips after funny gal/political commentator Samantha Bee hurled it at Ivanka Trump. The First Daughter earned the ire for tweeting a tender and utterly tone-deaf photo of herself snuggling her son during a week when migrant children were being torn from their parents at U.S. borders per her dad’s new “zero tolerance” immigrant policy.

Predictable reactions followed: 45 feigned offense, though we’ve all heard him refer with equal crudeness to the same body part and saw him welcome Ted Nugent to the White House after that courtly gentleman used the same epithet on Hillary Clinton. Bee apologized. A couple of companies pulled their ads from Bee’s aptly named Full Frontal show. And even liberal women who applauded her message mumbled to one another that the jab was uncouth.

But as the entire incident erupted at the intersection of my three favorite things—debating over language, insulting a Trump, and alluding to vaginas — I rather enjoyed it.

Bee called Ivanka a “feckless [C-word],” and I’m a sucker for the delicious pairing of an erudite word with a back-alley one. (Although, to be fair, I see the Princess-in-Chief as more of a witless email: starshine@roshell.com twat, but what’s done is done.)

I know a lot of gals who consider the C-word on par with the N-word because it’s used to demean, dismiss, and define women by their anatomy. I get it, but if you regularly call despicable men by their genital equivalents (um, guilty), then I think you’re unentitled to play that particular how-dare-you card.

My friends say it shatters the sisterhood for a woman to call another woman a C-U-Next-Tuesday. But I would feel very comfortable flicking the word at, say, Betsy DeVos, Kellyanne Conway, or Sarah Huckabee. I’d also rather listen to a Ted Nugent album than see any of those names (shiver) share a paragraph with the word “sisterhood” ever, ever again.

There’s a grumbling in the air that we, as a society, should be ashamed of ourselves for becoming crasser by the week. Surely there’s a sort of expletive inflation taking place if a blazered mother-of-two can spew such an indelicate invective in front of the FCC and everyone. I suppose it’s a good sign that we can still be outraged about public name-calling; perhaps it means we haven’t yet hit the tawdry, blue bottom.

Ultimately, though, I just don’t ascribe the same weight to words as some people do. Maybe it’s because they’re my trade, like a barber’s clippers and shears; to me, words are just spiritless tools, utterly neutral until we animate them with the niceness or badness of our intention.

And that, to me, is where all this dirty-word prattle disappoints.

Bee’s offending taunt was spat in anger. But far more offensive is the amount of attention our culture will devote to a quartet of innocuous letters — the same ones that kick off nutcake, for god’s sake — while the sticks and stones of our nation’s abhorrent policies are actively ripping children from the arms of their mothers and putting them in cages. Who cares about our vocabulary when the United Nations is imploring us — a first-world nation whose own Lady Liberty “glows world-wide welcome” — to stop violating the basic human rights of asylum seekers?

I wonder: If we keep lowering the bar on language and get all of our ugliest words out into the open, could we recalibrate our outrage meters? If we finally became numb to the cacophony of vulgarities being flung with such ease nowadays, would it allow our ears to pick up on, and our dialogues to center on, more important issues?

more Django Reinhardt, Gypsy Ale is perhaps Telegraph’s flagship sour beer featuring Brettanomyces from its Obscura series of wild ales that are generally aged in wine barrels (despite the fact that winemakers cringe at the thought of “Brett” floating anywhere near their product). Although these vinous, sour beers are popular with beer geeks and wine lovers alike, surprisingly few breweries here produce them. Notable exceptions include Oxnard’s Casa Agria, Carpinteria’s brewLAB, Firestone Walker’s Barrelworks, and Paso Robles’ BarrelHouse.

The Obscura beers feature an array of intriguing ingredients — beyond the holy tetrad of malted barley, hops, yeast, and water — such as apricots, cherries, chai, or spearmint leaves, all of which were paraded in front of steady streams of sour-beer lovers during Telegraph’s

Harvested whole and immediately preserved with IQF (individual quick freeze) technology, the currants were shipped to Barrelworks in Buellton last summer. Then master blender Jim Crooks tossed them in with 150 barrels of Agrestic Ale, which is the wild-fermented, longer-aged version of Double Barrel Ale, added his own Brettanomyces yeast, and threw the batch into oak foeders for four more months. The final blend needed a bit more Agrestic to mellow out the currant intensity.

ocavore Kitchen, offering rustic, elegant California cuisine, has opened at 21 West Victoria Street, the former home of The Nugget, Arlington Tavern, Hobnob Tavern, Epiphany Restaurant & Bar, and Blue Shark Bistro. I’m told they had a huge turnout on opening day and that diners have received the food very well.

“I’m excited to be here and excited to be part of the community,” says owner Andrew Crawley, who has been a chef and consultant for more than 30 years. “So far the response has been great.

People love the atmosphere here. The burger is fantastic. It is absolutely amazing. The flat-iron steak is also phenomenal. Great fried chicken— the food’s good!”

Crawley keeps the menu and beverage selections as locally sourced as possible, and fullservice catering is planned. Locavore is open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 10 a.m.10 p.m. on Sunday.

breakfast and lunch all day. We are focusing on the three basics: quality, customer service, and consistency.” Sunshine Café is open daily, 7:30 a.m.2:30 p.m. The restaurant offers dinner for groups of 20 or more on a reservation basis and will start offering catering in a few weeks.

212° HOT POT OPENS IN ISLA VISTA: David Chen is a

busy guy. He opened PokeMee in Hollister Village Plaza last year and Choppa Ice Cream earlier this year, and he is planning to open Choppa Poke at 716 State Street. He’s now officially opened 212° Hotpot, a Taiwanese restaurant, at 6533 Trigo Road in the former home of Kol’s Café and Crushcakes. There are 11 preset hot pots, with spice levels ranging from none to flaming, and a choice of rice or vermicelli. Prices range from $13.99 to $17.99, and ingredients include beef, lamb, pork, curry, quail egg, veggies, cheese, Korean kimchi with dumpling, Taiwanese spicy, Japanese miso, and spicy Thai. 212° Hot Pot is open daily, 11:30 a.m.10 p.m.

The Taiwanese restaurant chain specializes in spicy hot-pot noodle soups and has locations in Hong Kong, Los Angeles, San Diego, and at UC Davis. It’s the second hot pot restaurant to open here in recent weeks, after 212° Hot Pot in Isla Vista.

Uniboil’s signature soup base is made with Szechuan peppercorns, but it also offers a tomatobased soup, Thai-style tom yum soup, and a mild chicken broth. There are preset hot pot combinations, or you can customize your own from a long list of ingredients, which includes Kurobuta pork, Angus beef, crab legs, and more. Prices range from $12.99 to $15.99, and add-ons cost $0.50-$3.95.

female market. But there’s nothing gender-based about the treats themselves, which are delicious and easy to share if you want to keep dosage even lower.

The Bright Blooms are fruit-and-herb gelées in various flavors with 5 mg of sativa-derived THC, just enough to relax, put a slight shine on everything, and go about your day as needed.

The Bliss Blossoms, meanwhile, are presented in a dense, dark milk-chocolate square with just a hint of dankiness and pack a little more punch at 10 mg of indica-derived THC. They’re great after dinner with a movie cued up.

As with all edibles, learn your dosage first, and wait at least an hour to see how it feels.

Remember the mantra: “You can always eat more, but you can never eat less.”

80TH ANNUAL

SANTA BARBARA SUMMER SPORTS FESTIVAL

UCSB ARTS & LECTURES’ 60TH ANNIVERSARY requiring ethical reflection. Fortunately the next speaker, Harvard professor Stephen Pinker (Thu., Oct. 18) holds a hopeful view of society’s historical progress toward justice that’s simultaneously uplifting and based on hard data. And at the other end of the calendar, on Saturday, April 27, 2019, the audience at the Granada will hear from Yo-Yo Ma in his role as a thinker and speaker in a talk on Culture, Understanding, and Survival. No one brings it all together like Yo-Yo Ma. The night before he speaks, the Silkroad Ensemble will play a concert called Heroes Take Their Stands that features works co-commissioned by Arts & Lectures.

There’s so much more that you will have to pick up the brochure to appreciate it all. The Dance Series alone includes seven events stretching from October until May. For those who grooved to the Old Crow Medicine Show’s amazing 50th anniversary tribute to Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde at the Granada in May 2017, check out the tribute to a half century of The Band that the Hot Club of Cowtown has on tap for Tuesday, April 2. The new Hear & Now series takes the incredible synergy that’s happening across the world of contemporary classical music and puts it all in one package, with the Kronos and Danish String quartets, Sō Percussion, and the triumphant return of violinist Jennifer Koh to St. Anthony’s Chapel for part two of her Shared Madness project. At 60, UCSB Arts & Lectures stands stronger than ever.

Second-place winner, “Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed”

In early 2018, the Santa Barbara Zoo and Wildling Museum invited the community to snap a picture of their favorite zoo critter and submit it to Wild Things, a photo contest conceived by the two nonprofit organizations. Of the 246 entries, more

First-place winner, “Tree Frog” by Bob Houchens than 40 images were selected for the exhibit, which currently hangs in the zoo’s Volentine Gallery, with first place going to Bob Houchens’s “Tree Frog,” second place to Kristen Hehnke’s “Bright-Eyed and Bushy Tailed,” and third place to Hunter Anglemayer’s “The Rainbow Plumage.” The Wild Things exhibit runs through August 7.

UPCOMING SEASON INCLUDES OLD FAVORITES AND NEW FACES

HUNCHBACK AT PCPA

While Quasimodo is the central protagonist in Victor Hugo’s novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, the Gothic cathedral in the title, which had fallen into disrepair by the 1831 publication of the book, was the impetus for the French author’s story. Even so, it’s the ostracized bell ringer — not the depiction of decaying architecture — who has captured the hearts of readers for nearly two centuries. Hugo’s tale of Quasimodo’s unrequited love for Esmeralda has been adapted to myriad media, including film, television, dance, and musical theater. It is the latter format that PCPA will be offering up as the first show of its 2018 summer season.

The conservatory has a flair for musical performances, and its Hunchback of Notre Dame promises to be another feather in their successful production cap.

While PCPA staged a dramatic telling of Hunchback during its 1997-98 season, this will be its inaugural musical offering. “A few years ago, when The Hunchback became available, PCPA had the honor of being one of the first regional theaters to be granted rights to produce it,” said Brad Carroll, PCPA resident artist/ artistic associate. “As big musicals are one of the key features of our season every year, this great piece, based on a literary classic, seemed a perfect fit. …

This particular version, based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney film, premiered at the La Jolla Playhouse in 2014.”

The production stars PCPA’s Nick Tubbs as the deaf, half-blind hunchback Quasimodo; Amani Dorn as the gypsy Esmeralda, the object of Quasimodo’s affection; Erik Stein as the villainous archdeacon of Notre Dame, whose attraction to Esmeralda spurs a series of dire events; George Walker as Clopin, King of Truands (i.e., Paris’s criminals); and Jeff Salsbury as Phoebus, the captain of the King’s archers and the man with whom Esmeralda is besotted.

—Michelle Drown

The Hunchback of Notre Dame runs June 14July 8 at Solvang Festival Theater (420 2nd St., Solvang). Call 922-8313 or see pcpa.org.

REVIEWS

DAVID BAZEMORE

nsemble Theatre Company’s Cookin’ at the Cookery is a concert-style biography of blues legend Alberta Hunter, in which an 82-year-old Hunter (LaVon Fisher-Wilson) tells the story of her rise to fame and her latein-life reemergence as a performing artist at famed New York club the Cookery. The show is a fairly simple theatrical vehicle designed to show off Hunter’s Presented by Ensemble charismatic perTheatre Company.

The two stars, Fisher-Wilson and Dayna Jarae Dantzler, play Hunter at different points in her life (Fisher-Wilson plays the older version of Hunter; Dantzler plays the younger version of Hunter, from age 10 to 50).

These women (both with Broadway credits) Dayna Jarae Dantzler (left) and LaVon Fisher-Wilson bring a high-caliber vocal performance to the New Vic that deserved the standing ovation it received. and efficiently, and it’s nice to see a performance that Both sing the house down while playing a number of reaches into the house and grabs ahold of the audience. different roles beyond Hunter; the duet between Hunter Cookin’ at the Cookery (written and directed by Marion (Wilson) and Louis Armstrong (Dantzler) alone is J.

ALBUM

LIAM GALLAGHER AS YOU WERE

L

iam Gallagher’s first solo album reeks of Oasis nostalgia, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. With him always having been the distinctive voice and soul of that band (while brother Noel was the chief lyricist and heart), it makes sense that Liam would employ a legion of musicians and co-lyricists for his big debut — including Michael Tighe (formerly of Jeff Buckley’s band and cowriter of “So Real” from Buckley’s classic

Grace album), and Andrew Wyatt (from Miike Snow).

“For What It’s Worth,” Liam’s mea culpa moment, is the best tune, but “Wall of Glass,” the Peter Gunn-ish “Greedy Soul,” and “Paper Crown” all deliver.

Meanwhile, “Chinatown” has a Jimmy Cliff vibe. While not groundbreaking, this is the best post-Oasis release yet from a Gallagher brother. Liam brings his A game.

BOOK

MURDER GONE MISSING

I

didn’t read the first installment in Lida Sideris’s Southern California Mystery Series, Murder and Other Unnatural Disasters,, and that may have influenced my experience of her second effort, Murder Gone Missing. I enjoy a well-told mystery, and, being a native Californian, I was intrigued by its Southland setting.

An entertainment attorney by training but private investigator by inclination and perhaps by genetic predisposition (her father was a renowned PI), sassy female protagonist Corrie Locke is drawn into a case when her best friend, Michael, becomes the prime suspect in the murder of his boss. The riddle begins when Corrie and Michael return to the scene of the crime and find the body missing. With this essential element in place, we follow Corrie as she sniffs out clues and tracks down

leads with the help of her sidekick, Veera. Other characters enter the story, some with motives of their own, but the problem for me was that too many of these other characters felt one-dimensional. Corrie’s deceased father, a presence in the story if not an actual character, struck me as more interesting than Michael or Michael’s friend, James.

Ultimately, I found Murder Gone Missing disappointing because the writing is often clumsy, stalling the story’s momentum rather than propelling it forward; and with the exception of Corrie, the dialogue fails to reveal and individualize the characters. It’s never a good sign when I catch myself editing while I’m reading. Had the execution of this mystery been equal to its conception, Murder Gone Missing might have worked.

NOW PLAYING Ocean’s 8 (aka Deadpool). This time, the Merc with a Mouth must protect a young mutant named Russell (New Zealand actor Julian Dennison) from timetraveling soldier Cable (Josh Brolin). To do that, Deadpool forms his own team, X-Force.

Camino Real/Fiesta 5 First Reformed (113 mins., R) In this drama/thriller, Ethan Hawke stars as Toller, a protestant pastor who reevaluates his life and beliefs after his son is killed while in the military.

Amanda Seyfried also stars.

The Hitchcock

➤ Hereditary

(127 mins., R)

The world in miniature fills the home studio of artist Annie (Toni Collette), the horror genre’s latest mom to take on otherworldly forces for the sake of her children. Annie creates unsettling, dollhouse-like dioramas, her recent fixation being reenactments of her mother’s illness and death. These works establish a suffocating domesticity that gives this spectral drama much of its eerie mood. Also disquieting is Milly Shapiro, the actor who plays Annie’s daughter, Charlie, and whose face startles with the gravity of one who is 10 years old and 40 at the same time. But mood is the key to Hereditary, because plot and character motivation fall flat after the first half hour. The four leads —Alex Wolff and Gabriel Byrne costar —seem to have played their parts with the other actors absent; the individually strong performances never capture the intimacy of a family, even a distant one.

Hereditary’s conclusion comes as a relief after two hours, with a laughably literal explication of the family’s haunting.

It’s not that the movie is bad. It’s that it starts out aspiring to be good and ends aspiring to be bad enough to be good, but it fails at both. (AT)

➤ O Ocean’s 8

(110 mins., PG-13)

The ladies are doing it for themselves in this offshoot of Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy. Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett star as Debbie Ocean (Danny Ocean’s sister) and Lou, respectively, two criminal masterminds who put together a crack team of thieves to pull off a heist at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Met Gala. The film gets off to a bit of a slow start as Debbie and Lou assemble their crew, but once the plan is put into action, the plot clips along nicely. All the actors in the talented ensemble, which also includes Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter, do an expectedly fine job in their roles, all of them infusing appeal and humor into their characters. James Corden gives a delightful turn as an insurance investigator, and Hathaway is absolutely delightful as a shallow movie star.

Cameos abound as guests arrive to the party, and clever plot twists keep the audience engaged until the end. Overall, Ocean’s 8 does a nice job of staying true to the previous films’ formula while introducing a whole new cast of characters who are just as cunning and charming as Soderbergh’s originals.

(MD) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

O RBG

(97 mins., NR)

In this illuminating and warmhearted doc about longstanding Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 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. 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.

O Solo: A Star Wars Story Disney’s blockbuster reboot of the Star Wars universe reaches a peak level of fun and adventure in its newest release, Solo: A Star Wars Story. The film boasts some big names, being directed by Ron Howard and featuring Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) as Qi’ra and Donald Glover (Atlanta) as Lando Calrissian.

Alden Ehrenreich (Beautiful Creatures) as Han Solo does a great job of depicting the character without trying too hard to emulate Harrison Ford’s version. The film suffers a bit from some predictable plot points and not-so-subtle references; however, that is to be expected from a story following a character as iconic as Han Solo. Overall, the mesmerizing action scenes and cheesiness may not be exactly what die-hard Star Wars fans originally wanted, but they make Solo an exceptional beginning to a new look at a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF JUNE 14 ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): My Aries acquaintance Tatiana decided to eliminate sugar from her diet. She drew up a plan to avoid it completely for 30 days, hoping to permanently break its hold over her. I was surprised to learn that she began the project by making a Dessert Altar in her bedroom, where she placed a chocolate cake and five kinds of candy. She testified that it compelled her willpower to work even harder and become even stronger than if she had excluded all sweet treats from her sight. Do you think this strenuous trick might work for you as you battle your own personal equivalent of a sugar addiction? If not, devise an equally potent strategy. You’re on the verge of forever escaping a temptation that’s no good for you.

Or you’re close to vanquishing an influence that has undermined you. Or both.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): You have caressed and finessed The Problem. You have tickled and teased and tinkered with it. Now I suggest you let it alone for a while.

Give it breathing room. Allow it to evolve under the influence of the tweaks you have instigated. Although you may need to return and do further work in a few weeks, my guess is that The Problem’s knots are now destined to metamorphose into seeds. The awkwardness you massaged with your love and care will eventually yield a useful magic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Whether you love what you love / or live in divided ceaseless / revolt against it / what you love is your fate.” Gemini poet Frank Bidart wrote that in his poem “Guilty of Dust,” and now I offer it to you. Why? Because it’s an excellent time to be honest with yourself as you identify whom and what you love. It’s also a favorable phase to assess whether you are in any sense at odds with whom and what you love; and if you find you are, to figure out how to be in more harmonic alignment with whom and what you love. Finally, dear Gemini, now is a key moment to vividly register the fact that the story of your life in the coming years will pivot around your relationship with whom and what you love.

CANCER

LIBRA

(June 21-July 22): Congratulations on the work you’ve done to cleanse the psychic toxins from your soul, Cancerian. I love how brave you’ve been as you’ve jettisoned outworn shticks, inadequate theories, and irrelevant worries. It makes my heart sing to have seen you summon the self-respect necessary to stick up for your dreams in the face of so many confusing signals. I do feel a tinge of sadness that your heroism hasn’t been better appreciated by those around you. Is there anything you can do to compensate? Like maybe intensify the appreciation you give yourself?

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Would you have turned out wiser and wealthier if you had dropped out of school in 3rd grade? Would it have been better to apprentice yourself to a family of wolves or coyotes rather than trusting your educational fate to institutions whose job it was to acclimate you to society’s madness? I’m happy to let you know that you’re entering a phase when you’ll find it easier than usual to unlearn any old conditioning that might be suppressing your ability to fulfill your rich potentials. I urge you to seek out opportunities to unleash your skills and enhance your intelligence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I hope you’re reaching the final stages of your yearlong project to make yourself as solid and steady as possible. I trust you have been building a stable foundation that will serve you well for at least the next five years. I pray you have been creating a rich sense of community and establishing vital new traditions and surrounding yourself with environments that bring out the best in you. If there’s any more work to be done in these sacred tasks, intensify your efforts in the coming weeks. If you’re behind schedule, please make up for lost time.

SCORPIO

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Necessity is the mother of invention,” says an old proverb. In other words, when your need for some correction or improvement becomes overwhelming, you may be driven to get creative.

Engineer Allen Dale put a different spin on the issue.

He said that “if necessity is the mother of invention, then laziness is the father.” Sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein agreed, asserting that “progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.” I’m not sure if necessity or laziness will be your motivation, Virgo, but I suspect that the coming weeks could be a golden age of invention for you. What practical innovations might you launch? What useful improvements can you finagle? (P.S. Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead attributed the primary drive for innovative ideas and gizmos to “pleasurable intellectual curiosity.”)

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Each of us harbors rough, vulnerable, controversial, or unhoned facets of our identity.

And every one of us periodically reaches turning points when it becomes problematic to keep those qualities buried or immature. We need to make them more visible and develop their potential. I suspect you have arrived at such a turning point. So on behalf of the cosmos, I hereby invite you to enjoy a period of ripening and self-revelation. And I do mean “enjoy.”

Find a way to have fun.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The temptation to overdramatize is strong. Going through with a splashy but messy conclusion may have a perverse appeal. But why not wrap things up with an elegant whisper instead of a garish bang? Rather than impressing everyone with how amazingly complicated your crazy life is, why not quietly lay the foundations for a low-key resolution that will set the stage for a productive sequel? Taking the latter route will be much easier on your karma, and in my opinion will make for just as interesting a story.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For the next two-plus weeks, an unusual rule will be in effect: The more you lose, the more you gain. That means you will have an aptitude for eliminating hassles, banishing stress, and shedding

defense mechanisms. You’ll be able to purge emotional congestion that has been preventing clarity. You’ll have good intuitions about how to separate yourself from influences that have made you weak or angry.

I’m excited for you, Capricorn! A load of old, moldy karma could dissolve and disperse in what seems like a twinkling. If all goes well, you’ll be traveling much lighter by July 1.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suggest you avoid starting a flirtatious correspondence with a convict who’ll be in jail for another 28 years. OK? And don’t snack on fugu, the Japanese delicacy that can poison you if the cook isn’t careful about preparing it. Please? And don’t participate in a séance where the medium summons the spirits of psychotic ancestors or diabolical celebrities with whom you imagine it might be interesting to converse. Got that? I understand you might be in the mood for high adventure and out-of-the-ordinary escapades. And that will be fine and healthy as long as you also exert a modicum of caution and discernment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I suggest that you pat yourself on the back with both hands as you sing your own praises and admire your own willful beauty in three mirrors simultaneously. You have won stirring victories over not just your own personal version of the devil but also over your own inertia and sadness. From what I can determine, you have corralled what remains of the forces of darkness into a comfy holding cell, sealing off those forces from your future. They won’t bother you for a very long time, maybe never again. Right now you would benefit from a sabbatical — a vacation from all this high-powered character building.

May I suggest you pay a restorative visit to the Land of Sweet Nonsense?

Homework: Many of us try to motivate ourselves through abusive self-criticism. Do you? If so, maybe it’s time to change. Testify at Freewillastrology.com..

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

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 06/28/2018 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.

If adopted, the Ordinance will be effective 31 days from the date of adoption.

Any interested person may obtain a copy of the proposed ordinance at the City Clerk’s Office, City Hall, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, California 93117 or by calling City Hall at (805) 961-7505.
