For this week’s cover story, Senior Editor Tyler Hayden made the two-day drive to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah to watch a Santa Barbara racing team compete for a land speed record. To get a sense of what it’s like behind the wheel, the team let him squeeze into their high-octane car’s tiny cockpit.

“I don’t know how these guys do it,” Hayden said. “They’re basically strapped in a rocket but stay completely calm. I was freaked and I wasn’t even moving.”

COUNTY firm on the project.

Police Chief Lori Luhnow (pictured) was encouraged by the progress. “This is huge,” she said. Right now, Luhnow explained, a number of department services — including its emergency dispatch center, animal control staff, Police Activities League (PAL), and property storage facility — are spread throughout the city. Detectives occupy an annex space behind the station. She’d like

In an attempt to ease housing pressures, Santa Barbara County has streamlined its permit process for secondary residential dwellings — called accessory dwelling units, or ADUs. ADUs located within an existing building or within a portion of an existing or a new building will be granted exemptions or will require what’s called a “zoning clearance.” Previously, those proposing ADUs were required to obtain land-use and building permits.

The county is providing a one-year grace period for anyone with a land-use permit to obtain a building permit. Otherwise, permits issued before 8/14/19 will become invalid.

to get them all back under one roof. Ideally, Luhnow went on, the new building would have at least 70,000 square feet of work space and feature a public meeting room.

Additional parking for her troops and the public is critical, she said. Luhnow was happy to hear Cearnal Collective is working with a public-safety consultant who’s helped construct more than 400 police stations across the country.

Justice for All? In 2016, 74 Percent of S.B. County Inmates Were Unsentenced

U

by Blanca Garcia

nless Senate Bill 10 is vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown, starting on October 1 of next year, California will no longer have a cash bail system. On Tuesday, SB 10, authored by San Fernando Valley Senator Robert Hertzberg, passed the senate. The bill initially garnered strong support from Human Rights Watch (HRW), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and public defenders.

However, following amendments made to the bill on August 20, Human Rights Watch, along with many others, switched their position to strongly oppose the California Bail Reform Act. Opposition to the bill has not dissuaded State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson and Santa Barbara District Attorney Joyce Dudley, both strong supporters of bail reform.

Before voting on SB 10, Jackson spoke in support of the bill, calling for “justice for all — not for the rich … but for all.” The bail industry hurts working women more than anyone else, added Jackson. “Women take on extraordinary debt to cover the 10 percent nonrefundable fee.” In addition to women, it is the justice system that suffers, Jackson said.

EDUCATION The candidate filing period to run for one of the two open seats on the Santa Barbara Unified School Board closed on 8/10, drawing eight candidates: Ismael Paredes Ulloa, Rose Muñoz, Jim Gribble, Ricardo Sisto Cota, Mark Alvarado, Kate Ford, Bonnie Raisin, and Joe Rivera. Sitting boardmember Kate Parker’s term expires in December 2018; she will not be running for reelection. The second available seat currently belongs to Ulloa, who was appointed in 2016 after Monique Limón was elected to the State Assembly.

T

he search is on for the right site to build a new Santa Barbara police station, with four locations at the top of the short list: the Cota Street commuter lot, the Carrillo Street commuter lot, the Louise Lowry Davis Center on De la Vina Street, and the existing station property on Figueroa Street. A subcommittee of councilmembers is actively vetting each site, and a final decision is expected by the end of the year.

Efforts to construct a new police headquarters have dragged on for decades. Multiple councils agreed the building—outdated, overcrowded, and a seismic-safety mess — was public enemy #1 in terms of public-service infrastructure. But the money was never there. That changed with the passage of Measure C, the sales tax increase approved by city voters last November, which earmarked $80 million for a new station. Last Tuesday, the council approved $260,000 in architectural and environmental review contracts, with Cearnal Collective chosen as the lead design

NEWS BRIEFS

Supervisor Peter Adam has sponsored his own immigration resolution after abstaining from voting on supervisors Das Williams and Steve Lavagnino’s 8/14 resolution opposing the separation of families at the U.S.-Mexico border and affirming Santa Barbara County’s solidarity with community members affected by national immigration policy.

Adam’s resolution takes a different tone, proclaiming support for “immigrants and refugees who seek opportunity or asylum in the United States according to established legal process.” The resolution will be presented at next Tuesday’s meeting.

In December 2015, Adam Brothers Family Farms, co-owned by Adam, was forced to lay off roughly 300 fieldworkers following Homeland Security investigations of the farm property. Adam did not respond to calls for comment.

ENVIRONMENT Santa Barbara County Jail

“The criminal justice system as we know it today has been an abject failure.”

SB 10 would do away with cash bail and instead introduce a “pretrial risk assessment” to determine whether the person being detained is low, medium, or high risk. Most misdemeanor detainees will be released without the risk assessment. Most who are ranked low and medium risk will be released on their own recognizance, meaning no bail money is paid to the court and no bond is posted.

However, the bill hands over ultimate say to the court judge, granting the bench full discretion on whether the individual is a threat to public safety and will likely make his or her court appearances.

Originally in opposition to the bill due to her concern for public safety, Dudley was won over by amendments. “Defaulting to cash doesn’t make sense to me at all,” said Dudley about the current system. Dudley said she’s not too worried about the power granted to judges in the bill or whether they will impose their biases on whom they assign to preventive detention. “Every judge gets on the bench with bias,” said Dudley. “The best ones are those who are aware of it and keep it in the front of their mind when making decisions.”

If judges decided to hold an individual until the end of his or her trial, Dudley would back their decision. There must be reasonable

Santa Barbara’s World Business Academy has petitioned the Supreme Court to safeguard Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. Attorney Kirk Boyd said that because of the plant’s proximity to earthquake faults, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) should test welds embrittled by radiation. PG&E spokesperson Blair Jones stated that Nuclear Regulatory Commission documents gave Diablo’s welds a clean bill of health to 2033. Unit 1 is slated to close in 2024. Diablo also conducts pressure tests and in-container robotic ultrasound views of the welds. A public meeting takes place in San Luis Obispo to discuss Diablo’s 2017 safety results on 8/28, 6-8 pm., at the Embassy Suites hotel (333 Madonna Rd., S.L.O.).

he Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics (SBNC) wrapped up a week of celebrations for National Health Center Week with a Children’s Health Fair at Bohnett Park on August 18. “We had 34 families sign in,” said Dr. Charles Fenzi with the Eastside Neighborhood Clinic. Families were offered a number of services for the kids and fun activities for the whole family. The clinics delivered vaccines, including Tdap and HPV, for kids ages 10-17. Kids ages 12 and younger received dental screenings and fluoride varnish applications. Parents got goody bags with toothbrushes, toothpaste, and packets of information about the clinics’ services.

Assemblymember Monique Limón, Mayor Cathy Murillo, and District 3 Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez were among the attendees. Gutierrez was excited about the clinics’ outreach efforts. “I used to go to the neighborhood clinics,” he said. “They’re

a really important asset to the community.”

Now, he’s looking forward to collaborating with SBNC. “I gave out all my business cards,” said Gutierrez. “There are a lot of dedicated people already, and I’m hoping to help them.”

Santa Barbara primo boxer Francisco “Chia” Santana also attended the event. Born and raised in Santa Barbara, he grew up going to the neighborhood clinics, said Santana, who led the kids in a short boxing workshop and encouraged them to always try their best and never give up. Learning to stay healthy and engage in preventive care was a big topic at Saturday’s fair. “There are 5,000 people on the Westside that are living 200 percent below the poverty line and do not have primary care,” said Fenzi. “They’re probably not all sick, but there is no preventative care,” he said.

“We want to make sure you’re not waiting until you have a heart attack.”

As county supervisor, Miyoshi worked closely with the South Coast environmental majority, an affiliation that cost him dearly among North County conservatives. Of all the supervisors, Miyoshi was quickest to recognize what a public hazard the Casmalia dump represented and worked hardest to get it closed. At that time, federal, state, and county regulators insisted the facility was safe and that residents’ complaints about industrial-waste fumes wafting off-site were either exaggerated or made up. Miyoshi would be beaten by Republican Party stalwart Mike Stoker — now West Coast regional director of the Environmental Protection Agency — in 1990. Two years later, Miyoshi would run for the Santa Maria City Council, where he served eight more years (he had previously served on the council 19781982). Based on his life experience, Miyoshi had always been quietly but intensely skeptical when it came to pronouncements made by those in positions of authority. After stepping down from the council, Miyoshi grew more outspoken and especially vocal about what he termed official corruption and racism in the —Nick Welsh Santa Maria Valley.

oru Miyoshi, the former Santa Barbara County supervisor who led the charge to shut down the Casmalia toxic waste dump, died this week at age 90. Miyoshi served as supervisor 1982-1990, representing Santa Maria and the 5th District, as well as 12 years on the Santa Maria City Council. Politically, Miyoshi was both a moderate and a maverick; stylisti- Toru Miyoshi cally, he was soft-spoken but outspoken.

Born in Guadalupe, Miyoshi and his two brothers grew up in Santa Maria, where his father owned and ran a general store. In 1942, the United States government began rounding up all Japanese and Japanese-American families living on the West Coast and placing them in internment camps. Miyoshi was 13 when his family was forcibly relocated to the Gila River camp and 17 when he got out.

In that time, his mother suffered a stroke.

His father lost the family store, as well, and worked afterward as a farm laborer, never, as Miyoshi would later say, “bitching about it.” After his release, Miyoshi served in the Korean War for the United States military. In 1955, he graduated from USC.

L.A. Firefighter Takes Own Life

M

ore than two dozen trained volunteers with Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue, including four dog teams and helicopter support, descended on Hot Springs Canyon last Friday as law-enforcement officials announced that a Chrysler SUV parked for several days near the popular Montecito trail belonged to Captain Wayne Stuart Habell, a Los Angeles County firefighter who had been reported missing.

The search mission resumed first thing Saturday morning, and around 6 that evening, a three-person ground team called in the bad news. Off-trail along the west side of the canyon, they had discovered Habell’s body and a firearm under an oak tree. According to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff ’s Office, Habell died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The 43-year-old, who was stationed in Newhall, leaves behind his wife, Jennifer Habell, and their 8-year-old daughter and two sons, ages 11 and 13. In an online statement, Dave Gillotte, president of the Los Angeles County firefighters’ union, said, “We cannot afford to remain silent any longer —don’t let depression live in the shadows.

Each day our members battle post-traumatic stress injuries and cumulative stress injuries.

We need to bring these issues into the light to ensure people get the help they need.”

On Wednesday, L.A. County firefighters retrieved Habell’s body from the Santa Barbara County Coroner’s Bureau, forming a southbound procession along Highway 101.

Several calls to agencies in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties to determine if Habell had worked in Montecito during last winter’s natural disasters were inconclusive.

“A lot of our guys were up there fighting the Thomas Fire,” said Habell’s friend and fellow fire captain Adam Clint. “But I don’t know the connection he had [with Montecito].

It’s a mystery; it’s what we’re all wondering.”

Clint has set up a GoFundMe page, titled “In Memory of Fire Captain Habell,” “to cover funeral costs and any other expenses that may come up,” according to the page.

Former I.V. Landlord to Plead Guilty

COU RTESY

F

ormer Isla Vista landlord James Gelb has reportedly agreed to plead guilty to disturbing the peace charges for a homophobic tirade he unleashed on an openly gay elected official, Ethan Bertrand of Isla Vista Community Services District, last November on State Street in downtown Santa Barbara. If Gelb, who was one of Isla Vista’s biggest landlords, performs 50 hours of community services and undergoes 12 hours of anger management counseling by December 3, prosecutors will allow him to plead guilty to an infraction as opposed to the misdemeanor charges initially filed.

Gelb initially pleaded not guilty.

In May, Gelb sold his 37 Isla Vista properties to an entity called Isla Vista Owner, an LLC comprising “multiple partners,” according to representatives of Encore Property Management, who added that the partnership paid $82.5 million for Gelb’s properties plus three others. The new owners have also donated an undisclosed amount to the Pacific Pride Festival, which is hosting its LGBTQ rally at Chase Palm Park on August 25.

Caught on video, the Gelb–Bertrand interaction showed Gelb repeatedly calling Bertrand “a fag” and “a goddamn fag,” before taunting him with more offensive outbursts.

Bertrand, then coming from an electionnight party, encountered Gelb on State Street and initiated contact. He applauded Gelb for putting the latter’s extensive real estate portfolio on the market, adding Gelb had done a poor job managing his properties. Gelb then launched into his Tourette-like screed, from which Bertrand repeatedly sought to walk

away. No blows were exchanged, but Gelb appeared to lunge at Bertrand at one point.

Gelb’s behavior, prosecutors said, could have incited violence. At the time, Gelb said he felt unfairly maligned throughout Isla Vista because he was a major landlord and because he frequently went out with women one-third his age. He denied being homophobic, contending Bertrand had called him a fag first. Gelb noted his brother had died of AIDS after a 22-year struggle. The maximum penalty Gelb faced was 90 days of community service. Bertrand expressed relief that it appeared a deal might be finalized, stating, “When a community constantly has its toes stepped on, it’s important to demand some accountability.” As for the sentence, he stated, “I’m gratified Mr. Gelb will be giving back to the community in some way or another.”

Valley Fever Spikes Countywide

S

anta Barbara County had 104 cases of Valley fever in 2017, a 67 percent increase from the 62 cases in 2016. Santa Barbara isn’t alone. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced earlier this month that 2017 had the highest number of new cases on record in California since Valley fever became individually reportable in 1955. This is the second consecutive year new Valley fever cases have broken records. The CDPH reported 7,466 new cases in 2017 — 2,748 of which were from Kern County. The highest number of cases statewide for both record-breaking years have been in the Central Valley and Central Coast regions, including Kern, Kings, San Luis Obispo, Fresno, Tulare, Madera, and Monterey counties. “People living and working in the Central Valley

and Central Coast regions should take steps to avoid breathing in dusty air,” said CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith. “If individuals develop flu-like symptoms lasting two weeks or more, they should ask their health care provider about Valley fever.”

Valley fever is a fungal infection caused by breathing in spores of a fungus that grows in certain types of soil. The fungal spores can be stirred into the air by digging, construction, or wind. It is unclear why there has been a spike in reported cases in California since 2014. Possible contributing factors may be heavy rainfall after years of drought and increased awareness and testing. To reduce the risk, stay indoors when the air is dusty, and wet down soil before digging to reduce dust.

Alleged Golden State Killer Charged

T

“

he Golden State Killer prosecution begins today,” said Ventura County District Attorney Greg Totten at a press conference held in Orange County on Tuesday, joining fellow prosecutors from Santa Barbara, Contra Costa, Sacramento, Tulare, and Orange counties to file a joint felony complaint against Joseph James DeAngelo. The complaint, filed in Sacramento, includes 13 counts of murder, with 18 special circumstances, including rape and burglary, and 13 counts of kidnapping, among other charges. The alleged crimes took place between 1975 and 1986, and four of the 13 counts of murder occurred in Santa Barbara County. Two counts are for the murders of Cheri Domingo and Greg Sanchez on July 27, 1981, in Domingo’s Goleta home. The two other counts are for the murders of Dr. Debra Alexandria Manning and Dr. Robert Offerman; that attack took place on December 30, 1979, in the couple’s Goleta home.

While this is a statewide case, the team of district attorneys — dubbed Team Justice by Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert — decided that a single prosecution in a single jurisdiction serves the best interest of the case and its victims.

The combined cases will be heard in Sacramento to ensure a single, comprehensive, speedy trial for all victims, said Santa Barbara County District Attorney Joyce Dudley.

The journey for justice has taken four decades, Schubert said. “We were looking for a needle in a haystack, and we found it.”

Of the 13 murder charges, 10 carry special circumstances that make the case eligible for the death penalty. “All of the DAs use a very solemn process in the decision making of whether or not to seek the death penalty in any case,” said Totten. “For us to predict what that would be now would be inappropriate and immature.” DeAngelo’s arraignment is scheduled for 8/23 in Sacramento.

suspicion to approach someone, probable cause to arrest them, and a present state of admissible evidence for the DA’s Office to pursue charges, said Dudley. “That’s a pretty high standard.” Yet, according to the California Department of Justice, one in three felony cases in the state do not result in conviction.

The bill, originally intended to decrease the number of people detained pretrial, was introduced in late 2016. Since then, the First District Court of Appeal has declared California’s current bail system to be unconstitutional for its failure to consider an individual’s ability to pay. The current system is not based on flight risk or risk to public safety. Instead, critics point out, it unfairly punishes the poor and contributes to overcrowded jails as those that cannot afford bail are forced to be incarcerated even though they have not been convicted of a crime.

Currently, 64 percent of inmates in Santa Barbara County Jail are unsentenced and awaiting trial.

Among other groups opposing the bill, including the ACLU and the NAACP, the HRW contends that “the new [version of] SB 10 is simply not bail reform; it replaces one harmful system with another. In fact, it will make many of the problems we revealed in our report even worse,” according to its opposition letter. “[It would set] up a system that allows judges nearly unlimited discretion to order people accused of crimes, but not convicted and presumptively innocent, to be held in jail with no recourse until their case is resolved.”

While she allows that the bill is not perfect, Jackson is convinced SB 10 is a significant step in the right direction. “If we address [bias], it creates a system that acknowledges n and overcomes it,” she said.

Free Parenting Classes Back

F

ree parenting classes are being offered again at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) after a five-year hiatus. The courses, for parents and little ones ages three months to five years, have been available for the community for free for more than three decades, except the last five years, said Andy Harper, senior director of SBCC’s School of Extended Learning. “We’re really thrilled to offer amazing programs to the community again.” With more than 25 courses being offered for the fall semester, parents have a variety of subjects to choose from, including Toddler Times, Growing Times, Creativity and Preschoolers, Music Times, and Nature Walk. While the courses were still offered during the past five years, they were available at a fee that many new parents could not afford. “Enrollment really dropped,” said Harper. “People really missed the free classes.” Most classes run for eight weeks and are held on weekday mornings, with a few Saturday-morning seminars that parents can attend without children. Students can build a community of parents and can ask questions

about “why things are working well or not working well,” said Harper.

Kate Barker, a parent who took the course with her child a number of years ago and who will be teaching several of the parenting courses this fall, highly recommends the classes. “It’s an amazing opportunity for caregivers and parents to meet and build friendships that go beyond the class,” she said, adding that the coursework can be a great precursor to preschool and kindergarten. “For a lot of kids, it’s their first experience in a semistructured environment,” said Barker. “They learn to act in a space that is not their home or park.” The classes help parents with the school transition, too. “Parents see the child’s socialization, and they get the education they need to ask preschool teachers questions,” said Barker. “They’ll know what to expect.”

Courses begin August 27. Parents must register with SBCC, also free, prior to enrolling in the parenting courses. Applications and registration can be completed in person at the Wake Campus or Schott Campus.

HANDS-ON LEARNING: The popularity of the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy has prompted its leaders to expand its footprint and academic scope.

Big Plans for Engineering Academy?

S

anta Barbara Unified School District and the nonprofit Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy Foundation are honing an agreement to construct a state-of-the-art CTE (Career Technical Education) pavilion to expand the footprint and academic scope of Dos Pueblos High School’s standout academy. The estimated $18 million endeavor will include a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) teaching and learning museum and training institute for visiting educators from around the country.

The academy’s husband-and-wife leaders, Amir Abo-Shaeer and Emily Shaeer, have already secured more than $4.2 million in state CTEFP (Career Technical Education Facilities Program) grants. The district has committed $5 million in facilities bond money. The foundation is tasked with raising the balance. “This is Santa Barbara at its finest,” said Superintendent Cary Matsuoka.

“The public-private partnerships I’ve seen in this community—there’s nothing like it.”

The proposed 14,000-square-foot facility—a substantial update from the original plan to spend $5 million to replace 8,000 square feet of old portables — would also serve as a maker faire, where students would display their work and serve as docents. The

academy also intends to use the facility during evenings, weekends, and outside the school year for K-12 summer camps, computer classes, and lectures, for example, with hosting costs and liability taken on by the foundation.

The district’s five-member board of education could vote on a finalized agreement in September, and the foundation would be required to pay $500,000 to the district for design services within 60 days of an architectural contract. Groundbreaking could happen as early as February 2020.

Fleas, Baby Baby, Fleas, Baby Fleas

SORE DOGS: I think it was Mao Zedong who never said,“You can’t make an omelet without breaking toes.” If so, prepare for some

serious crunching.

I say this in light of the born-again fervor to save State Street from itself that’s now seized City Hall. It was wall-to-wall sardines at last week’s City Council meeting that turned out to be a genuinely constructive vent fest, punctuated, I must say, by some singularly odd and wonderful moments. There’s been considerable after-the-fact eyeball rolling that the council’s immediate reaction was to pass a resolution to hire a consultant. That the council also voted to create a special ad hoc subcommittee task force has induced even more. To be fair, this is what city councils do.

To be fairer still, the proposal to hire a consultant was on the top of just about every list of nonnegotiable demands submitted.

For starters, there was Dick Berti’s Oscarworthy soliloquy comparing downtown Santa Barbara to a beautiful woman who can’t get any dates because she’s too highmaintenance and costs too much. When that got laughs, Berti took it up a notch, comparing Santa Barbara to the psychotic, rabbit-killing, adultery-inducing femme fatale played by Glenn Close in the movie Fatal Attraction.

Berti — known affectionately by friends as “The Bird”—has been syndicating downtown commercial real estate partnerships since before Methuselah and probably owns,

manages, or controls in some fashion 59.62 percent of all leasable square footage. By any measure, he’s been screamingly successful.

But among friends and investors, tenants and critics, Berti is famous for a gloomy, glowering pessimism that in even limited exposures can require quarantine. To see him go comedic was a revelation and refreshing. Sadly, it didn’t last.“I don’t want to live here anymore,” Berti then lamented. “If I could, I’d move,” adding, “I’m just going to die. It’s too hard.” I was confused. I didn’t know whether to give Berti a hug or clap. So I clapped. So too did everyone else. This response, I think, encouraged Dick to go back for an encore, this time accompanied by his buddy Jim Knell of SIMA Corporation, who probably owns, manages or otherwise controls the other 40.38 percent of all leasable space. When Knell smiles, his tenants reflexively call their lawyers. Knell was smiling as he told the council that City Hall needs to make downtown look nice and feel safe, but otherwise they should get the hell out of his way.

Berti then offered to spend $100,000 of his own money to move the people congregating in front of the New Faulding Hotel

— some call it the “New Fall Down” — to an empty plot of land located somewhere by the county jail. Knell intimated in some fashion that he might be good for $100,000, as well. Since then, I have been told, Berti has modified that proposal—at a University Club confab between a gaggle of owners, Mayor

Cathy Murillo, and Councilmember Randy Rowse —to shut down the New Faulding as

a single-room-hotel flophouse and relocate those occupants to points elsewhere.

A few obvious reactions: First, $100,000 may be a grand gesture, but it’s not enough to move anybody anywhere. Second, the jail happens to be located in a jurisdiction controlled by the county supervisors —not City Hall— and they, I’m just guessing, might have adverse feelings about such a relocation. Last—and most important—there is a desperate need for the 81 low-rent bedrooms the New Faulding provides. Over the last 30 or so years, downtown has lost hundreds of low-rent hotel rooms: The Virginian, the Californian, and the Carrillo come to mind.

I am told Berti is an investor with Jason Jaeger in the hotel right across Haley Street from the Faulding. Jaeger has been pitching a fit about the unwashed and the unscrubbed.

I get it. Who wants loud and unruly street drunks interfering with prospective customers at your new wine bar? But at last week’s meeting, Jaeger unveiled a proposal of his own that has me still gasping. Jaeger asked City Hall to give property owners special easements to the sidewalk and public spaces adjoining their holdings so they could hire private security to enforce the law. Just

what we need: rent-a-cop easements giving private dicks, no doubt underpaid and underqualified, the legal authority to police our public spaces. If I weren’t convinced this

idea was DOA, I’d be inclined to call the ACLU, Amnesty International, and the International Criminal Court.

Let me suggest a constructive alternative.

If Berti and Knell have $100,000 bills burning holes in their respective pockets, perhaps they could be induced to underwrite a mental-health outreach effort known in the lingo as “co-response teams.” That’s where you pair up a street cop with a mental-health outreach worker and have them hit the streets.

It’s the new, hot, sexy thing, and if it’s half as effective as its champions claim, it would be money well spent. Police Chief Lori Luhnow’s right-hand man, Anthony Wagner, has been champing at the bit trying to get one of these started. An irrepressible cowlick of a man, Wagner is given to wearing brightly colored striped socks and big, brown wingtips; he also bursts with big ideas and doesn’t seem to care whose feathers he ruffles. Wagner tried to put the squeeze on Cottage Hospital a while back at a meeting attended by Luhnow herself and former city fire chief Pat McElroy. Cottage, which doesn’t cotton to being squeezed, pointedly wondered just where the co-response teams would send all the mentally ill people they found. Given Santa Barbara’s criminal lack of mental-health infrastructure, that is, of course, the $64 million question.

Maybe that $200,000 would go a long way toward finding an answer. Even better, it might give Dick Berti something to smile about.

Democracy: The author at an underground press conference in 1969

Then and Now

The 1968 Democratic Convention in Context

F

BY ABE PECK ifty years ago this month, I was embedded in Chicago’s Lincoln Park.

The 1968 Democratic Convention was convening 10 or so miles away, but I — a 23-year-old underground newspaper editor and futile permit negotiator — was more interested in birthing a peace, love, and chemistry counterculture than watching delegates dither over a war I thought unconscionable.

Each night, my fellow communards and I were swept away by a tidal wave of cursing cops. Over the week, I chronicled the exodus, checking out casualties at local hospitals. The exclamation point came when the police shot out my paper’s windows while we worked on the next issue.

Recently, I thought my demonstration days were declining. But “business” is suddenly good. The Women’s March. SepaAbe Peck will join rated families. Black Lives Matter. Parents Dick Flacks on and Friends of Gays and Lesbians. The KCSB (91.9 FM) to play and discuss Trump Years are a giant game of Chutes & the music surrounding the 1968 Ladders, with decades of gains threatening Democratic Convention Thursday, to slip away.

August 23, 6 p.m.

Perhaps Convention Week can resonate as I try to get back to the future.

In the 18 months before the convention, I went from being a graduate student to a social worker to an army reservist to a longish-haired demonstrator on the steps of the Pentagon to talking about a groovy, outrageous Festival of Life that would take place in one of the city’s largest parks.

I was a “member” of the Youth International Party — the Yippies — one of a spectrum of protesting groups. Our anarchistic street theater challenged an inall-senses straight culture through guerilla-theater acts such as throwing money off the balcony of the New York Stock Exchange. Yippie called out to hip-strip longhairs who ignored even New Left politics. “Abandon the Creeping Meatball!”

Run Pigasus, an actual pig, for president! “Chicago” was to express the Politics of Ecstasy — a new society constructed on the ashes of the old. Those in power don’t cede it voluntarily — if we couldn’t topple them, we could make them laughable.

It may sound fragile, drug-addled, outrageous in 2018. But at our best, we engaged the power of the imagination. As the brilliant folk-protest singer cum Yippie Phil Ochs said back then, “A demonstration should turn you on, not off.”

Even as Donald Trump manipulates the power of spectacle, here’s to pussy hats and Trump-baby balloons.

Skepticism and Filter Bubbles

President Lyndon Johnson knew the Vietnam War wouldn’t be won — a yearslong cover-up later unmasked by the Pentagon Papers. Candidate Richard Nixon catered to racist congressmembers while masquerading as a healer.

President Trump thrives on social-media chaos — we need to probe beyond the distracting dog whistles.

During Convention Week, television networks and print reporters — whose own colleagues had been beaten — aired street carnage and cries of “the whole

Your Natural Curiosity

The author just before the 1968 Democratic Convention world is watching.” Surely the country would turn against official violence, whether in Chicago or Vietnam.

But Mayor Richard Daley’s mail ran as much as five to one in favor of authority, and the local press soon ran his White(wash) Paper. Segregationist George Wallace scored nearly 14 percent of the presidential vote. And Nixon—dirty tricks and all—successfully exploited a pledge noted by historian Rick Perlstein in his terrific book, Nixonland: “Make America quiet again.” The Silent Majority came to dislike the war— war but they disliked protesters more.

Daily papers could dig deep but also color within mass-culture lines. Underground papers had not yet descended into rhetorical korrectness, at their best espousing an honest subjectivity around actual reporting. They debated tactics and transparency concerning Chicago—were the Yippies a fresh take on protest, or were they luring people on false pretenses to ensure a crowd too large to hassle, or, failing that, to vivify the violence in Vietnam through official overreaction?

Now we are awash in media. Yet that can include far-right tales of pedophile pizza parlors or high school parents supposedly creating hoaxes about their own children’s deaths. And even if we avoid those UFOs, we all often search for agreement. We shouldn’t turn our brains to one-hand other-hand mush. But you can’t change opposing minds without knowing what’s in them.

We Have Come a Long Way, Baby

“Convention Week” was largely a straight-white-male event. Chicago’s black areas were reeling from Martin Luther King Jr.’s murder and the risings after his death. Women’s Liberation was just a-bornin’. Gayness was in the closet.

Post-convention, many causes came to the fore, from gender rights to environmentalism. Even the Democratic (Party) process became, well, more democratic, less boss driven, more diverse. In Chicago, a reform movement (and a surge by inner-city voters) eventually elected a black mayor. It also fostered the coming of age of a certain large-eared president.

But a caution from across the decades. A year after the convention, I watched Students for a Democratic Society, the largest ’60’s radical student organization, founder over holier-than-thou-ism. Here’s hoping today’s progressive movements can stick to principle without foundering on purity. Indivisible—a counter–Tea Party movement for grassroots advocacy—nails it: no circular firing squads.

At the same time, successful protest needs to include and unify a cornucopia of voices, not just those with the most privilege or loudest bullhorn. As Charlene Carruthers, the black, queer, feminist author of the forthcoming book Unapologetic, puts it: “A set of incomplete stories leads to a set of incomplete solutions.”

Abe Peck recently curated a series on The Media and the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention at the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University, where he is a professor emeritus in service. He is the author of Uncovering the Sixties: The Life and Times of the Underground Press and a former editor of the Chicago Seed and at Rolling Stone.

Cash Needs Claiming

T

hanks to Jerry Roberts for his recent column [“Poverty the Shame of Santa Barbara,” independent.com/poverty] showcasing the shocking reality that Santa Barbara County has the thirdhighest rate of poverty in California, according to a study conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC). While the statistics are alarming, the PPIC also found that government programs helped keep millions more out of poverty.

Specifically, the study cites the Earned Income Tax Credit, a cash-back program that allows eligible workers to claim up to $6,000 per year. For decades it has been one of the most proven ways to help low-income workers afford life’s basic needs — housing, transportation, health care, and food. Yet millions of Californians fail to claim the money they’ve earned, leaving billions on the table. In 2017, just over 3,000 Santa Barbara County families claimed it; this year, encouragingly, that number has jumped to nearly 12,000 households, totaling $2.8 million back in the pockets of our hardworking neighbors — especially those with children.

Santa Barbara can be a community where everyone who works can afford their basic needs. The tools do exist to end poverty. As a start, every government and social service agency should be promoting the California Earned Income Tax Credit so that every eligible family claims the money they’ve earned. For more information, including an eligibility calculator, please —Laura Capps, S.B. check out caleitc4me.org.

Not the Enemy

I

have lived most of 38 years in Santa Barbara. As a student, parent, community member, teacher, and public servant, I was keenly aware of the importance of local newspapers, all of them, in telling the area’s stories and reflecting all of our opinions. And I guess the framers of the Constitution saw the importance of newspapers too, even though they each were skewered at one time or another. And despite being skewered myself a few times, and sometimes disagreeing strongly with what I read in the press, I believe attacking the press is wrong. Wrong-headed, stupid, shortsighted, small-minded, irresponsible, imprudent, and just plain wrong. So, I read with interest the various points of view in those papers across the spectrum that chose to join with the Boston Globe to explain who they are and, more importantly, that they are not the enemy; not the enemy of any honest member of their community and this country. I found no such discussion in the News-Press. I quote our president: “So sad.”

—Rob Almy, S.B. But not surprising.

For the Record

¶ Regarding last week’s news story “Cannabis and Abel,” the 30 acres of farmland being investigated are Abel Maldonado’s alone, not his family’s. In a news brief that same week, we reported that recycled paper generated in Santa Barbara County is now yielding $6 million annually, a $2 million drop from years past; however, $6 million refers to the yield of the entire commingled recyclables program, with the $2 million drop largely attributed to the decreased value of paper.

obituaries Betty Jo Stephens 03/01/32-08/18/18

Betty Jo Stephens, age 86, beloved mother, grandmother, philanthropist, and humanitarian passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 18th, 2018 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.

A sweet southern girl, Betty was born on March 1st, 1932 in Gadsden, Alabama during the height of the Great Depression to Andrew Jackson Jordan and Clonda Mae Beard.

As a young girl, Betty loved listening to her father play his fiddle and she took great pride growing up in the house he built for her brothers and sister in the deep South. She loved playing down by the Coosa River, home-cooked meals, and listening to the radio together as a family. She always felt that she took after her strongwilled and bold grandmother, Bellezora Fraser, a woman who worked hard her whole life and had run a boardinghouse in Gadsden all on her own. All three of her brothers served in the Pacific during World War II and she spent many difficult months filled with worry and prayed every day that they would come home safe, which thankfully they did. She always dreamed of moving to California, where the glamorous movie stars she idolized lived and a place that offered more opportunities for her family.

Her dream came true when she moved to Los Angeles in the 1950’s with most her immediate family in tow. There she raised her two young children, Bruce and Joi while working full-time in the café she owned. After marrying businessman and scientist John A. Stephens, the family settled in Santa Barbara in 1969, where Betty would go on to spend the rest of her life building a thriving business and contributing to the community through her support of many incredible charities, political committee’s, and social causes.

Betty was one of small handful of female CEO’s when she ran Excel Mineral Company after taking over for her husband during his long battle with Alzheimer’s.

Betty cracked the glass ceiling in the male-dominated mineral and mining business, and she expanded the Jonny Cat Litter

Betty also championed tirelessly for the advancement of women’s causes and rights. From 1978 to 1980 she served as Chair for the California Commission on the Status of Women, which advocated for equal pay and the Equal Rights Amendment among many other issues. She brought down the gavel at the very first meeting of the Democratic Women of Santa Barbara, and remained a supporter of them and the Democratic Party for the rest of her life.

Betty counted incredibly influential people as friends such as President Jimmy Carter, Governor Jerry Brown, Speaker Tip O’Neill, Texas Governor Ann Richards, Senator George McGovern and well-known attorney and women’s advocate Sarah Weddington.

These names are just a fraction of the countless community leaders and activists she befriended throughout her life. She was also a founding member of the Santa Barbara Firefighters Alliance and hosted several of its annual Fire Ball’s at her beautiful home.

She was exceptionally supportive of Planned Parenthood and Domestic Violence Solutions, and cared deeply for women’s reproductive rights and women who sought support with their children.

Betty was a passionate supporter of the Arts, and spent years bringing dozens of incredible shows to town with her involvement in the Santa Barbara Civic Light Opera. For almost twenty years, Santa Barbara was gifted with elaborate and award-winning theater productions that rivaled Broadway. She enthusiastically supported the renovation of the Granada Theatre and loved being a part of a team to restore it to its former glory. Only those lucky enough to have attended one of her many incredible fundraisers and parties would know just how fabulous they could be. The parties held at her Hope Ranch home were legendary. One of her favorites was “A Night in Casablanca”, when she reproduced famous scenes from one of her favorite films on her sprawling hilltop estate overlooking the ocean. Betty took great pride in creating a marvelous home and was generous in opening it up for so many different organizations, charities, and individuals she admired. She lovingly designed it to be the home she dreamed of as a little girl, and always considered it a “piece of heaven”. Between the beautiful flowers, vases brimming with succulents, and sweeping

views, it really was a paradise that she cherished.

Betty loved music in all shapes and forms, but it was jazz that always ran strongest through her veins. She loved going out to hear local jazz bands, and was generous with her support of the SBCC Jazz Program. She loved to sing along and you could often hear the sweet sounds of her favorite musicians such as Diana Krall and Peggy Lee playing through her home.

Of the many strong relationships she had in her life, one of the most precious to her was with her son Bruce, whom she tragically lost at the age of 45 in 1999.

They traveled the world together and maintained a close bond throughout each other’s lives.

The love they had for each other could move mountains. After his death, she became involved with the American Heart Association and advocated for their efforts to reduce heart attacks and deaths due to cardiovascular disease.

Betty was loved and adored by her family and friends, and we will always miss and remember her for her incredible sense of humor and love of life. She had a sharp sense of wit, and could always find the best language to describe something that would leave us in stiches. We always knew her and referred to her as our Mama. We were so fortunate to have traveled around the globe with her. Mama was able to visit almost every continent and some of her most precious possessions were beautiful works of art that she proudly brought back to display and marvel at in her home. She would spend hours in museums, picking apart and analyzing every painting and sculpture while appreciating the hard work that went into each piece. She especially loved going to Maui and watching the sunset and whales pass from the lanai.

Even in Maui, she was a regular with the local jazz scene and was always in the front row applauding her favorite band at the Cool Cat Cafe.

There is a huge hole in our hearts without our family matriarch, but we take comfort knowing that she is now able to join her son, mama and daddy whom she loved so much and never stopped missing. She will be dearly missed by those who loved and learned so much from her during her lifetime.

Betty is survived by her daughter Joi Stephens and her husband Frank Kaminski, her grandchildren John Stephens and his husband Christopher Stephens-Gusman, Ryan Chacon and his fiancé Heather Ambrose,

Alexandra Djordjevic-Stephens, Ernie Harries, and her greatgranddaughter Ila Harries.

She is preceded in death by her parents, son Bruce Walley, brothers Jack Jordan, James Jordan, John Jordan, and her sister Peggy Romero.

A viewing will be held on Friday, August 24th from 5:00pm to 8:00pm at Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapel at 15 E. Sola St, Santa Barbara. A public memorial will be held at Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapel on Saturday, August 25th at 11:00am.

To keep in the spirit of her contributive nature, the family asks for donations to be made to the any of the following organizations in her name: American Heart Association, Planned Parenthood, and Domestic Violence Solutions.

For this year’s Speed Week, a Santa Barbara race team made the two-day journey to Bonneville with their long-bodied Blown Fuel Lakester in tow. The goal was to reclaim their class record by breaking 306 mph. They wanted it bad, and confidences were high. But the trip didn’t go as planned. The title eluded them.

The team, however, comprising decorated racing veterans and younger ace mechanics, wasn’t bothered. They shrugged off the results, reminded each other, “Hey, no crybabies,” and vowed to return next year. That is the beauty of The Blown Fuel engine is the baby of Hunter Self, who Bonneville. They may not have returned home with a record, but they saw other milestones smashed and got a chance to operates J&S East Valley Garage in Montecito, a go-to pit stop rub fenders with some of the quickest cars on earth.

Self’s The Lakester, a specific class of vehicle with a streamlined respect for the awesome, piston-powered force at his fingertips body and four exposed wheels, was built purely for land- is obvious, and he has a whole lot of fun with it.

Our first afternoon on the flats, as the temperature danced around the century mark and fresh ice was packed into coolers stuffed with Gatorade and Keystone beer, Self drove us in a golf cart around the staging area with a wide-open grin. He pointed to the famous #911 Roadster out of Chico and a fan favorite, the Big Red Camaro. We passed the shaded work areas of numerous U.S. teams — the Death Traps from Idaho, the Hot Rod Hoodlums from Texas, the Hudson Boys from Seattle, and so on. We met a mechanic nicknamed “Boom Boom” because he has a tendency to blow out engines.

International crews from Mexico, Ukraine, Great Britain, France, Sweden, and New Zealand flew their flags, too, and worked on cars of every size, shape, and color under the relentless sun. There was even a V16-powered diesel freightliner crouched like a hulking linebacker in a four-point stance. That monster, of course, was American.

The human melting pot was just as eclectic. There were the standard motorheads with thick beards and ripped sleeves but also refined lads in tasseled loafers and crisp polos.

runs. Kids wearing neon-green hearing protection stood at elbows and learned the ropes. Local “salt rats” wandered here and there with permanent squints and leathered skin.

When an engine is fired up for testing — i.e., has “heat put into it”— a reverent crowd gathers around, iPhones out, to witness the thing come to life. They watch, but mostly listen, because it’s the acoustics that are the most impressive, as the beast sucks in desert air, swallows a belly full of fuel, and combusts the concoction to make its cylindrical limbs run like crazy. Onboard computers track timing and watch for drivetrain slippage. Serious discussions are had and the necessary tweaks made with arrays of tools laid out like surgical kits.

“This is one of the few motorsports that encourages innovation,” said Self, referring to other racing events with narrow rules and high costs of entry, such as the quarter-mile drag competitions that are the territory of the wealthy and connected. “This is a car hobbyist’s dream,” Donny Cummins agreed. Cummins is a professional dragster who took a break from the circuit to attend Bonneville and reconnect with the spirit of the sport. “These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things,” he said.

As for the why— why why spend umpteen hours and hard-earned money to pursue maybe the most difficult, esoteric kind of racing there is, and do it with a bunch of adrenaline junkies in the middle of nowhere — Al Eshenbaugh answered that question head-on. “I don’t play golf, and I’m too old to screw, so what the hell else am I supposed to do?”

To participate in Speed Week is also to commemorate a legacy of barrier-busting daredevils, starting with Indy 500 top gun Teddy Tetzlaff, who set the first Bonneville record 104 years ago by driving 141 mph in a car called the Blitzen Benz, and continuing with a hot-dogging Brit named Sir Malcolm Campbell, who became the first person to pilot an automobile over 300 mph in 1935.

Only the worthy, whether slightly crazed or completely obsessed, or some combination thereof, have burned their names in the record books over the decades. It’s an honor hard to explain but easy to respect. Ten people have lost their lives in the pursuit.

READY TO ROLL: The Mixed Nuts Racing team out of Indiana lines up its 1930 Ford roadster. Said owner Kevin McKeehan: “You just kind of hang on and push the throttle.”

EYE OF THE BONNEVILLE BEHOLDER

The 30,000 acres of salt flats where this all takes place are remnants of a lake that dried up during the Pleistocene era and are now overseen by the Bureau of Land Management. The expanse is so vast and so smooth that you can see the curvature of the earth dip away in the distance. In the morning, the sun rests crimson and swollen right upon the whitewashed countryside. At the starting line, drivers point their cars toward Floating Mountain, an optical illusion created by the sloping effect that separates nearby mountain bases from their summits.

The flats on their own are a dead-calm purgatory that mutes the heart and dumbs the senses until the racers arrive, electrify the air, and deliver one and all to hot-rod heaven. Spectators and competitors camp directly on the salt in tents or trailers, or they room in the nearby town of Wendover, which is split in half by a state line — Utah, with Mormon influences to the east, and Nevada, full of sin, to the west. Crusty boot prints litter carpeted hallways like snow.

Raising his voice above the percussive snarls of warming engines, and just as a patch of nitro vapor slapped our nostrils, Self gestured over the wild scene: “Like Yosemite is beautiful, so is this. It’s just a different kind of beauty.”

Conditions were perfect the morning of DRM’s run. The salt was nice and dry, great for traction, with only a slight breeze blowing. Cars filed into rows for their turns on the designated long course, a five-mile stretch with a timing tower at the halfway mark and a contingent of emergency responders on standby. The crowd of spectators and press photographers grew near the announcer’s stand as the competitors leaped off the starting line one after the other like unchained cheetahs. They disappeared so quickly in the distance it did little good to watch. Instead, many turned their ears down-course to listen for good or bad signs from the engines. Successive pops, or “shooting ducks,” meant misfiring and trouble.

Dannenfelzer towed the Lakester to the line in his truck and then edged around behind it.

The car is so high-geared it needs a push to get going. Self and Hawkins snapped the canopy into place, and with a final safety check of Fogliadini’s helmet and harness, Dannenfelzer gunned the truck’s gas and Fogliadini cranked the Lakester’s throttle. Seconds later, the Lakester pulled away and shot across the salt. But it never reached full power. A couple of miles in, Fogliadini heard a pop (“one shot duck”) and immediately killed fuel to the engine as a safety precaution. He coasted to a stop near the pits, where we found him staring down at the car, his hands on his hips.

I was expecting disappointment, anger. Maybe a few choice expletives and a kick of the tires. There was none of that. Instead, with the Lakester towed back to home base, Self rubbed GOLETAtogether and said matter of factly,“Well, let’s find out why.” Piece by piece, he began his hands 5757 Hollister Ave disassembling the motor, inspecting each component with a scientific concentration.

Before long, the problem was revealed. The team had asked a little too much from their motor. The outside edge of one of its cylinders had started to melt away under the pressure of the high-concentrate nitro fuel and an aggressive tune-up. Everyone took turns feeling the pocked metal surface and nodding their heads. It wasn’t a major break, but it couldn’t be fixed in the field. “That’s racing,” said Langlo. “Sometimes you’re one and done.”

Langlo vaulted into the 200 MPH Club his first crack at Bonneville in 1966, when he was 24 years old. “I didn’t know what to expect,” he said. “It hooked me.” Back then, a safety suit was a pair of coveralls dipped in flame retardant. Langlo has been going fast for nearly five decades now and doesn’t expect to quit anytime soon. “When it stops being fun, I’ll hang it up,” he said.“But it’s still fun.” Especially satisfying, he said, is that moment at the end of a good, “stout” run, standing alone outside your car, miles from anything or anyone, hearing only the “tink-tink” of the cooling engine and the proud voice in your head.

Langlo, tall and soft-spoken with giant, scuffed-up hands, is now building his own rig, a streamliner, in his Goleta garage. He recently dug 12 feet by hand into a hillside to extend the GOLETA workspace. Self is doing all the body welding. Like the rest of the DRM Racing outfit, Langlo 5757 Hollister Ave is a purist, preferring piston engines over jet power; they have propelled cigar-shaped cars to the absolute top land speed record of 763 mph. He still uses a pocket watch.

While the #44 Lakester is packed with horsepower, its off-white paneling chipped here and there from years of hurtling down the tracks, it is an aerodynamic nightmare, a fact the crew is proud of. They like to quote Enzo Ferrari: “Aerodynamics are for people who can’t build engines.”

THE RIGHT STUFF: The DRM Racing team heads to the line, with Arley Langlo (far left) and Brian Hawkins (center).

With that, the Lakester’s Speed Week was over. Still, its operators stayed high in spirit.

They cracked open beers and water bottles and settled into folding chairs to watch the other competitors. Stretched cobalt-blue and canary-yellow streamliners — the event’s speediest class of car, some with six wheels and two engines, all encased in shiny exoskeletons—buzzed above a watery mirage. Even from half a mile away, with nothing to obstruct your view, the cars came and went from sight in a breath.

Later in the day, a hush fell over the DRM Racing team as radio announcers signaled the start of Danny Thompson’s first run. Thompson, based in Orange County, was piloting a streamliner named Challenger 2 originally built by his father, Mickey, a giant among giants in the hot-rod realm. The two had SPEED WEEK IN PERIL been on the outs for many years, with Bonneville organizers fear for the future of the event Mickey forbidding his son from racing as the venue itself faces an uncertain fate.

Entomologist Mike Raupp said that the main difference between regular ants and fire ants is their aggressiveness. They look the same. “They live in a mound,” Raupp said. “It’s a large mound that you will be able to see on the ground. If you bump into that nest, they will swarm out immediately and aggressively attack you, and no other ants will do that. There are no other stinging ants in North America. So if you get stung by an ant, you can pretty much assume it’s a fire ant.”

My Life

Where There Be Dragons My Journey at Santa Barbara Middle School

ALL IN THE FAMILY: The middle schoolers gather ’round on their end-of-the-year trip.

Carpe diem.

At SBMS, we take pride in seizing the day. On every trip, the faculty ensures that every day is filled with activity. When we arrive at the campsite, we get straight to work setting up our tents. Each day, we go on a different bike ride, between 15 and 50 miles. We all help and support each other in climbing the toughest hills and finishing the ride.

J

une 15, 2018, marked the end of one of the most influential experiences I have had in my 15 years on Earth, and the conclusion of three of the most meaningful years of my life. That was the day I graduated Santa Barbara Middle School. In many ways, SBMS shaped who I am today, as a student and a friend.

The SBMS community has countless sayings that help guide students through their time there. I feel the only way to fully honor their teachings is to use the sayings as the foundation for this article.

QUINN FERGUSSON

p. 35

Beginnings are important.

At the beginning of every year at SBMS, the teachers and faculty choose a theme that we reflect on throughout the year. This year, the theme was “Where There Be Dragons: Curiosity, Courage, and Change.”

It proved frighteningly prophetic for our year of “dragons,” as fires and mudslides bore down on our comTEAM TEEN: Quinn Fergusson with SBMS English teacher Teresa Jamison munity, and we had to fight physically and emotionally.

You see, outdoor expeditions are a unique sweltering days, freezing nights, endless hills, and mosquitoes aspect of SBMS. Every year, the whole school takes breaks the size of hummingbirds.

Every night, we gather around, huddling in close to climb. Sometimes these mountains were gravel-streaked against the cold. The campfire begins with a question, such hills I had to power my way up. Other times, they were menas, “What will you remember from this year?” or “What skill tal mountains I could not push through using only brute would you like to develop?” and “What would you like to see strength.

Thoughts like, “I’m too weak” heart. And it’s one small but important way we seize the day. and “I’m too slow” began fluttering through my head. And I

found that, as I told myself these things, they would become true. So the real challenge, I discovered, wasn’t beating the hill itself. It was beating the thoughts and doubts that came along with it. I learned to replace them with positive ones.

When I heard “I’m too weak,” I replied with, “Pace yourself.”

When I heard “I’m too slow,” I replied with, “Take your time.”

I did things slowly and methodically, and eventually began enjoying myself.

These trips helped us not only hone and develop skills and gain physical strength but also gain mental and emotional strength, teaching us to never give up, no matter how hard things get. And most important, we created unforgettable memories with friends along the way.

Go with gratitude.

Before I came to middle school, I was terrified of the bike trips. I had barely ridden my bike and had never gone camping. I thought I would be quite literally left in the dust. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The community took me in and made sure I wasn’t left behind.

SBMS has changed me in more ways than one. Before, I was just an introverted little 6th grader. I only had a couple of real friends and tried my best to stay out of the spotlight.

Looking back on it, I was kind of a loner.

Now, I am more extroverted. I have learned to unapologetically be myself. I used to shuffle down the hallways, looking for at least one person to talk to. Now, I skip and dance to music in the halls, holding my head up high. That transformation was possible because of SBMS. This past year has probably been the most difficult year of my life, given the dragons faced by our community. Through all the pain and hardship, there has been one constant for me, in addition to my own family: my Santa Barbara Middle School family. I have been able to lean on this community like the great pillar it is. Whenever I was feeling down, I would talk to my friends and my teachers. When I felt lost, this school and its community were there to guide me home. We faced the dragons with courage and found gifts in the change.

We have a saying at SBMS that has been especially relevant this past year, one that shows unparalleled gratitude and respect. From me to SBMS: “Wow. Thank you. I love you.”

CAMPING SUCKS; There, I Said It

I

’m sitting 5,400 feet high in the Sierra Nevada mountains at the edge of a glassy lake that’s rimmed with fluffy pines pointing emphatically at the sky. I’m keenly aware that I’m supposed to feel blissish and perspectivey. But my legs brandish 13 bug bites of various dimensions and shades, there is dirt in my nostrils, and I’m dreading another torturous night on a foam pad punctuated by the random swish-swish of my son flopping around in his nylon sleeping bag.

I loathe camping, and I’m sorry about that. I really am. I’m comfy admitting that I hate other things I’m supposed to like: Green drinks.

Michael Moore. Black Mirror. When you say you detest camping, though, people look at you like you’re broken, like you’re missing a crucial piece (the way your tent always is).

But I’m tired of being ashamed of my repugnance for roughing it. For the soggy whole-world-wetness of mornings in a tent. For the swarm of spastic mosquitoes around a fluorescent light in a camp shower at night. For the inevitable stench of raw sewage seeping from a septic tank when you were promised lungs full of alpine oxygen.

The things my friends love about camping are the things I abhor: Being dirty. Peeing outside. Meeting other campers. They tout things like “birdsong,” a word no one says in real life. They extol s’mores, a savorless blend of three products you’d never consider eating on their own, only palatable here in comparison to the sheer email: starshine@roshell.com discomfort you’re experiencing on every other level.

I do like one thing I’ve heard campers say: It reminds them that we don’t need much to be happy. … Except that apparently I do.

Waking up to the sound of … well, indeterminate critters today, I had a distinct flash of that thing you’re supposed to feel at camp: gratitude.

I thought I’d finally become a camper after all. But when I mined the sensation, I realized the appreciation I was feeling was actually a deep, almost indecent gratitude for whoever invented pillow-top mattresses.

And paved roads that keep Pig-Pen-style dust clouds from billowing around us each time someone shuffles past. And civilization, where we’re allowed to have food in our homes without fear that a grizzly will follow the scent of our Trader Joe’s Salted Peanut Butter–Filled Pretzels — and decide to snack on our vital organs instead.

“I think it says a lot that as soon as primitive humans were able, they built shelters and sleeping platforms, and that’s been the norm ever since,” says my friend Nona, whom you won’t find backpacking anywhere. Ever. “I think it’s more than a trend.”

Sure, seeing a forest first thing in the morning is glorious. It beats opening your eyes to yesterday’s laundry pile at home or the news alerts on the phone screen at your bedside table. But when the verdant vista is followed by a long, dusty trek to a public bathroom with no hot water where over-grinny, nature-giddy strangers insist on saying obnoxious things like “Good morning” before you’ve even had the crap coffee that awaits you, said glory fades like an echo of “NO TOILET PAPER ARE YOU FRICKING KIDDING ME???” shouted from the inside of a cement latrine.

When I feel embarrassed by my aversion to rain flaps and camp stoves, I remember that there are all kinds of people on this only partially paved planet. I know folks who don’t love music the way I do — who don’t come alive inside at the sound of zydeco or classic rock or swing or ska or soul or new-wave pop. Who aren’t moved to tears and goosebumps by the first few bars of a tune they’ve never heard before.

Who don’t feel like the very purpose of song is to sum up, and serve up, the spectacular spectrum of human experience — and to remind them to stop, and listen, and feel.

I bet that’s what a truly happy camper feels like. Or would if her air mattress hadn’t collapsed last night and left her numb down her entire left side.

California Comfort Food L space that was previously The Nugget and Arlington Tavern, filling a prominent location near the charming corner of Victoria and Chapala and across from the Public Market.

“Our concept is local, rustic, California comfort food,” explains owner Andrew Crawley, describing an idea that most Santa Barbarans naturally support.“We do the best we can to keep as much as we can local.”

Opened in June, Locavore’s elevated yet unpretentious menu showcases the region’s wealth of agricultural, viticultural, and brewing talents in a comfortable setting, whether you pull a stool up to one of their window tables or slide alongside the remodeled bar. The redesigned space features customized light fixtures, white

walls, and succulent-dotted tables, creating a bright, fresh aesthetic.

Crawley moved to Santa Barbara in February from Los Angeles, where he earned a culinary degree from the Art Institute of California. He spent much of his 30-year career as a chef and caterer (working in such kitchens as Mad Bull’s Tavern, Foxtail, and the Hyatt West Hollywood), but also worked in the design and building of restaurants. That experience led him to pay particular attention to the heart of the restaurant; as he explained, “The kitchen is virtually brand-new.”

From that kitchen comes a menu that’s both familiar — shishito peppers, roasted cauliflower, burger, goat-cheese-stuffed squash blossoms — and slightly exotic, with oxtail mac and cheese as an appetizer and wild boar tenderloin and roasted rabbit leg entrées. There’s a shorter menu for lunch — pork-belly sandwich, chopped salad, veggie polenta, and croque monsieur, among

other highlights — and weekend brunch offerings as well, including contemporary classics such as egg in the hole, shakshouka, and chicken and waffles. Happy hour includes a taco of the week and a slider trio.

“All of our stuff is made in-house,” said Crawley, who is also serving at quite reasonable prices compared to many other restaurants in town.

“All of the seafood comes out of the Santa Barbara coast.”

With that in mind, I eagerly ordered the Hope Ranch mussels, cooked with Topa Topa’s Chief Peak IPA, pancetta, and chimichurri, and served with Our Daily Bread toast points to soak up all of that gorgeous broth. We also enjoyed the cast-iron, free-range fried chicken, served with an ethereal thyme buttermilk biscuit slathered in honey butter. The spicy maple-glaze dipping sauce was the perfect costar for the tender chicken, magnifying its juicy flavors without overwhelming it. The house-pickled vegetables provide just the right hit of acidity to cut the richness of the dish and keep you coming back for more.

“I’ve been blessed with a great kitchen staff,” said Crawley, who’s particularly proud of his sous chef, Gabriel Garcia, as well as the in-house pastry chef, Steven Koflanovich. The latter is responsible for drool-worthy desserts and those incredible biscuits and cornbread that jazz up the comfort-food fare.

On the beverage front, Crawley pledged that “the taps will always be from Paso to Camarillo,” and the current lineup stars neighborhood favorites from Topa Topa, Third Window, and M.Special. He estimated that the wine list is about 85 percent regional, including nearby highlights like Santa Barbara Winery’s petit verdot, but it also contains some farther-flung offerings, like the crisp rosé from Côtes de Provence.

Already, Locavore is straddling the line between upscale and pub-friendly fare, which seems to be the goal. “Basically,” said Crawley, “I’m just trying to fill the niche between white tablecloth and grab and go.”

peloursin in the nursery of French botanist Francois Durif in the 1860s — petite sirah combines dark fruit flavors with a very savory side of pepper, hot asphalt, and charred meat. Those savory aspects are elevated above the jammy ones when the grapes are grown in climates considered cool for each variety.

For the versatile syrah,“cool” means very close to the coast, typically in pinot noir territory. For more heat-requiring petite sirah, “cool” means almost anywhere other than the rather scorching environs of places like eastern Paso Robles and deep Napa, which is where the grape has historically thrived.

So Santa Barbara County, most of which is comparatively quite cool, isn’t home to much petite sirah. I can only recall some acres at Thompson, Refugio Ranch, and Rodney’s, as well as an experimental A-frame planting at Crown Point.

But thanks to this custom bottling for the Canary Hotel in downtown Santa Barbara, I now know that there’s at least a little more to be found at Carhartt Vineyard. That’s where Chase Carhartt, son of founders Brooke and Mike Carhartt, made the hotel this wine from the 2013 vintage. Their mesa-top vineyard is just east of Ballard Canyon in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley.

N AN

BY MATT KETTM Expectedly deep flavors of elderberry and black currant show up when sipped, but the swarthy aromas of cracked pepper, beach tar, and raw beef are what hold the attention. Wine geeks like me who believe cool-climate syrah to be one of the world’s most interesting and delicious styles have another horse to track.

The wine is the result of a partnership that was hatched years ago between the Canary’s general manager, Ryan Parker; Chase Carhartt; and the winery’s GM, Joe Ramos. After falling in love with the winery’s tiny tasting room in Los Olivos, Parker explained, “We began brainstorming ideas of how we could grow our partnership for bespoke Santa Barbara experiences that are crafted and premium.”

They started sending their respective customers each way, the hotel suggesting their guests visit the tasting room, and the Carhartt newsletter including pairing suggestions from the hotel’s Finch & Fork kitchen.

“That evolved to a winemaker dinner that started on our rooftop and ended in our private dining room,” said Parker, explaining that Carhartt and Ramos lead a biannual wine country training session and tasting with Chef Peter Cham.

The first wine labeled for the hotel was a syrah, featuring, yes, a canary on the label, and this petite sirah showcases a finch. Two more wines will likely be released this fall, although none of these are for sale directly. (Carhartt does sell their estate petite sirah at their tasting room.) Instead, the wines are put into special package deals, shared with VIPs, and occasionally poured during the daily social hour.

“The Carhartt partnership is personal to me, so I’ll try and create a personal connection with a guest by giving them a bottle,” said Parker, “All around, this has been one of my most fulfilling Santa Barbara partnerships that I’m very much proud of.” n

letting me know that the windows are papered over at Frankland’s Crab & Co. in the Montecito Inn at 1295 Coast Village Road, which opened in April. The reasons I was given by readers ranged from “remodel” to “rest in peace.” I reached out to owner/chef Phillip Frankland Lee, who updated me on his plans.

After opening Frankland’s, Lee also opened The Monarch at the inn earlier this month. He said that the food at The Monarch has been a big hit but that the most popular aspect of Frankland’s was the bar.

So he will be reopening the space in September as Chaplin’s Martini Bar. The names comes from Charlie Chaplin, the comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film and, along the way, built the Montecito Inn. The kitchen at the former Frankland’s will now support a growing fan base for The Monarch, which will soon be adding breakfast and lunch.

“We put our heads together as a team, and we came up with a concept that we feel very strongly about and will be a great addition to Coast Village Road,” said Lee. “It’s going to be called Chaplin’s Martini Bar. “If Montecito had a national drink, it would be the martini,” he continued.“We have done quite a bit of research with our team and discovered that Charlie Chaplin used to really enjoy martinis back in the 1920s.” The full bar will serve both modern and old-fashioned drinks, but the menu, said Lee, “will be a selection of the hottest and newest drinks from the 1920s. Things like Bee’s Knees and El Presidente, things that, when Charlie and his friends would go out, [they would order] back then.”

Lee tasked bar manager Rui Silva with researching how each drink was prepared and served. “It definitely harkens back to an era,” said Lee. “To accompany the bar, we will have a pretty awesome cheese and charcuterie selection, and we also are going to offer oysters in a half shell.”

The hours for Chaplin’s Martini Bar will be 4 p.m.-midnight.

PAESANO’S HEADS TO GREENER PASTURES: Reader Ever-

ett let me know that Paesano’s Pizzeria, a familyowned restaurant on Santa Barbara’s Westside since 1995, has closed. Word on the street is that the busi-

MOLLIE’S MOVES FROM MONTECITO: In June, Mollie’s

restaurant opened at 1218 State Street, the former home of Tupelo Junction Café and Marcello Ristorante. Reader Steve H. tells me that the famed flagship location, Trattoria Mollie at 1250 Coast Village Road, a favorite of Oprah Winfrey, has closed. A representative of the restaurant confirmed the news.

This is a walk-up window that has been added to the commercial kitchen of Solvang chef and caterer Louise Smith. Initial hours are Tuesday-Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Call or text orders to 403-9649.

Meanwhile, it’s hopped with a combo of modern American Simcoe hops as well as Australian Galaxy hops, making the whole thing brighter. Unlike Czech or German offerings that are grassy, this one is more pineapple-y and lemongrass driven. Best of all, it’s awfully pound-worthy, befitting these hot days.

ome to Island Brewing Company, Rincon

Brewery, and brewLAB, Carpinteria boasts more breweries per capita than most cities on Earth. By my calculations, that’s one brewhouse for every 4,500 residents, which is three times more than Santa Barbara and five times more than San Diego County, the widely promoted Beer Mecca of SoCal and beyond.

But rather than scratch and claw at each other to vie for the seaside city’s limited share of mouth, the three breweries got together to collaboratively brew a beer for the annual Surf ’n’ Suds beer festival, which happened at Carpinteria State Beach earlier this month. The beer is called Tres Cervezerias Pilsner. Despite the Spanish name, it’s not in the style of a Mexican lager— which is a booming craft category right lager now— but rather an American take on a tradinow tional Czech style.

Whereas classic Continental pilsners are made with only Pilsner malt and somewhat spicy Saaz hops from the Old World, this beer’s

t first glance, it looks like a typo. For the next two weekends at Center Stage Theater, the reliably creative Lit Moon Theatre Company will premiere its production of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll House.

Most of us know that classic drama — an unflinching look at a troubled marriage that shocked audiences in the 1880s and strongly reverberates with today’s sexual politics — as A Doll’s House. But Rolf Fjelde, who wrote the translation chosen by director John Blondell, removed the possessive. And that casts the play in a startlingly new light.

The traditional title suggests CAPTIVE AUDIENCE: Paige Tautz contemplates life as discontented wife and mother Nora Helmer in Henrik Ibsen’s Nora—the wife who ultimately A Doll House. leaves her husband and children, becoming a feminist icon in the process—is the doll in question. Not domestic relationships: Who has the power, way. That can make it dull. We’ve tried to so, argues Blondell. “All the characters are and under what circumstances?” work against that …. Our approach is very dolls,” he said. “All are influenced by the It is, indeed, a play about gender, money, serious and respectful to Ibsen’s intentions, normative forces and repressive climate of and control, issues that have been front and but it’s not humorless.

KARL DENSON

EXPANDS HIS FUNK-SOUL UNIVERSE Bursting onto the SOhO stage with cosmos-dilating, roomshaking energy on Thursday, August 23, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe will rock your little world in the most happily funked-up way. “I tend to break rules,” said the inventive leader of the funk-soul-rock-jazz fusion troupe. The band is one of the most exciting live acts in its genre, with a highly energized style that breaks down past musical boundaries into new, soulful frontiers.

When I recently spoke over the phone to the singer/ saxophonist sensation, he’d just completed a European tour with the Rolling Stones as their tenor saxophonist.“The Rolling Stones is my vacation, a nice break — I get treated really well to go somewhere fun,” Denson said. (For sightseeing, he recommends Edinburgh — “It’s really beautiful; castles everywhere; it’s over the top.”)

Now he’s ready to get back to work. “My own thing is my real job,” he relayed, and life’s “going great,” with the Tiny Universe wrapping up masters for its new album. The as-yetuntitled new work “is modeled like an early ’70s funk record.

It’s gonna be a nice shift of better songwriting, and my singing has gotten better over the years,” he said. The big bang of the Tiny Universe sound, Denson added, is a great song. “We’re just trying to learn how to write a great song—that’s what I’m aiming [for].”

Constantly creating, Denson continues to be inspired by acts new and old. “Music always gets me, man,”he said. “I love where hip-hop is going these days … a lot of Kendrick; a lot of J. Cole; a lot of Killer Mike, Childish Gambino, and Chance the Rapper. I’m listening to a lot of Afrobeat, too.”For songwriting, he’s “paying attention to the Grateful Dead thing. Their songs are so oddball, and I see the point of it, in terms of how people relate to it as a community.”

Denson’s community, like his songwriting, continues to expand, too.“It’s a strange little journey we’re on,”he said.

Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe plays Thursday, August 23, 9 p.m., at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.).

ROCKING WITH PRIDE

by Richie DeMaria

OVER THE RAINBOW: This Saturday, August 25, the Pacific Pride Foundation will host the Pacific Pride Festival at Chase Palm Park (323 E. Cabrillo Blvd.), noon-7 p.m. This free, family-friendly festival will celebrate all those within the LGBTQ community locally and abroad with a full lineup of exciting entertainment.

Ada Vox, a top-10 American Idol finalist in 2018, is one of the headliners at the festival, with a performance sure to showcase the personality and voice that brought her international fame. She’s a vocalist so emotive, with a spirit so magnetic, that she brought S.B.-raised Idol judge Katy Perry to her knees in reverence. She will continue on to an afterparty at Matrix S.B. (409 State St.) at 9 p.m.

Also among the festival’s other top-billed acts? Dev — the LGBTQ-ally performer famed for “Bass Down Low,” “Booty Bounce,” and her collaborative work on Far East Movement’s “Like a G6.” Festivalgoers can also witness RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants, Mayhem Miller and the Emmy-nominated Raven, and it’s a great chance to see some great area acts, including the Rainbow Girls, returning for a homecoming show, and the ever-funky Soul Machine, Borgia Bloom, and the Queen of Pride 2018, among others.

“I was raised and grew up loving regardless of gender or sexual orientation, and I think as I became a performer, the LGBTQ/Pride shows have always been a place of comfort, without judgment regardless of what single was on the radio or not,” Dev said. She looks forward to “celebrating love and freedom, and performing and dancing with everyone! It’s going to be awesome.”

To aspiring LGBTQ musicians and creators in general, she said, “Your unique qualities are what make you you, and no one can ever duplicate that. Work hard, then keep working hard. Never give up!” Dev is deep in the process of making new music of her own, citing the new Nicki Minaj, Tierra Whack, The Internet, and Khalid as just some of her influences.

The Pride Festival marks a significant show for the Rainbow Girls, who have dreamed of a Pacific Pride Festival appearance for years.

“We have wanted to do it since the beginning, and supporting the community is really what 44

we’re all looking to the most,” said drummer Savannah Hughes.

In its multiyear career, the Isla Vista– grown act has traveled the world, sharing its empowered, thoughtful folk rock. Today, it continues to be one of the area’s brightest musical beacons, even though the lineup has dispersed largely northward to Petaluma.

“Our mission remains the same — just bringing original music to people, to bring joy and happiness and really inspire people,” Hughes said. The new set, she says, will mix up their livelier numbers with some of the group’s more pensive recent works, and in all, will be a chance for festivalgoers to “let loose and have a good time.”

Dev

When not with the Rainbow Girls, Hughes spends much of her time with Girls Rock S.B., teaching aspiring young musicians how to play music and write lyrics.

In her day-to-day, she lives out the spirit the Rainbow Girls have become known for, whether onstage or in the classroom, Hughes encourages “holding a space for young women to play music — music has been male dominated for a long time, and it’s important for young women to voice their opinion, to be creative, and know that their voice matters, too.”

She hopes the band inspires all in the Pride Festival audience to proudly live out their truest self. “Be proud of who you are, and just express yourself; do not feel scared, even if you feel different,” she said. “People want originality nowadays, and it is something really special when people can see that n in you. Go up and rock, and be you.”

his delightful show of five artists sharing a common interest is the product of curator Susan Bush’s observation that when it comes to eco-consciousness among contemporary artists, there’s something special about bears. Adonna Khare, Beth Van Hoesen, Susan McDonnell, Pamela Kendall Schiffer, and Nicole Strasburg may all have started out expressing their fascination with these extraordinary animals independently, but encountering the work together, the viewer is left with no choice but to accept that “Black Bear” by Beth Van Hoesen there’s now a distinct bear area in art.

They may not be as free as they once were to roam vast areas of pristine woodland, but the bears of the world nevertheless continue to exist as a potent reminder of what nature can be and do. In the show’s most overtly silly image, the drawing “Grizzly Rider” by Khare, a bear takes a circus-style standing pose on the back of another animal, at once mocking the way in which these creatures have at times been enslaved by humans and indicating some other plane of pleasure on which only bears and their friends count. It’s a fitting emblem for the uneasy place these animals occupy in our collective imagination. n

BRANDI CARLILE A

n adoring audience stood in ovation for Brandi Carlile Saturday night at the Arlington before she had sung a single note. The enthusiastic welcome set the tone for a show marked by a strong rapport between concertgoers and performers. The latter included Carlile’s mainstays, twin brothers Phil and Tim Hanseroth, and her cadre of strings, piano, and drum backers.

The show focused on tracks from this year’s By the Way, I Forgive You, widely acclaimed as a great Americana album. Perhaps part of what makes it exemplary in that category right now is, as Carlile explained, the artist’s “debilitating empathy” since becoming a parent. Her heartfelt sense that such empathy is particularly painful yet necessary in At The Arlington this moment came through in each song she prefaced, Theatre, Sat., from “Fulton County Jane Doe,” about a woman Aug. 18. whose corpse was never identified, to her reflections on growing into parental love as a woman partnered with another woman in “The Mother.” But the standout performance was the Joni Mitchell– inspired “Party of One,” for which Carlile took to the piano.

The Arlington’s sound system came through for Carlile, highlighting the gut-punching vocals for which she’s known—her balance between tough and tender, punctuated with melodramatic breaks into the upper reaches of her range. And drawing on the venue’s unique attributes, she and the Hanseroth brothers serenaded the audience from the box area during the encore.

Opening strings-only quartet Darlingside, comparable to Fleet Foxes with the stage presence of a college a cappella group, charmed the crowd with its warm vocal harmonies and wry commentary. The four returned to the stage with Carlile’s band for “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man,” what Carlile called “our best waif-y white-person” tribute to Aretha Franklin. The show was pensive yet lively, sincere without ever taking itself too seriously.

BON IVER B

on Iver arrived peak heat wave on Monday, August 13, as Santa Barbarans sweated their way up the steps of the Santa Barbara Bowl, clutching cold drinks, hoping for a musical reprieve. Thankfully, they got more than just that — it was a multifaceted journey that seesawed between moments of electronic madness and simplified acoustic crooning.

Exploring and intertwining these fringes has become a recent hallmark of Justin Vernon, Bon Iver’s lead singer. But pulling this act off in a massive, open-air venue such as the Bowl provides obvious challenges: Would cacophonous tracks like “10 d E A T h At the S.B. Bowl, Mon., Aug. 13. b R E a s T” just sound messy? Would the quiet songs like “Holocene” lose their nostalgic intimacy? Amazingly, the answer was no in both cases. Chalk it up, perhaps, to a new sound system Bon Iver was using called L-ISA Hyperreal Sound, which is described as a way to achieve a wider sonic panorama. And that it did.

I have often walked out of Bowl performances with that shrugging sense of feeling half detached from the music, as if it was just always over there. But Bon Iver’s show elevated my notion of what Bowl shows can be. And by the time the night settled in, and Vernon finished his encore with “re: Stacks,” the crowd walked away feeling generously cooled off and gratefully filled up with Bon Iver’s capacious array of styles.

The central motif in this charming, feminist-spiced indie film goes by the name Double Whammies and is imbued with more than just two meanings. Besides the reference to female breasts and the notion of multiple negative impacts, it is also the literal name of a Hooters-like establishment, shamelessly showcasing scantily clad young beauties while staying on the PG-rated side of stripper-club excess. Behind the scenes at Double Whammies, manager Lisa Conroy (Regina Hall, a magnetic anchor in the film) finds herself wrestling with her wavering moral grounding, solidarity with the “girls” she works with, and a crass, unfeeling owner (surprise, surprise). Director/writer Andrew Bujalski—who is a kingpin in the film subgenre “mumblecore”— eases deep into the sports-bar milieu and brings a blast of fresh, creative cinematic invention on the theme of

O BlacKkKlansman

(135 mins., R)

Observe moviegoers trying to order their tickets for BlacKkKlansman (“Um, two for the Lee movie”), and you’ll get a sense of how well Spike Lee’s new film touches the raw nerves of current American race politics. A collaboration with Jordan Peele (Get Out), starring John David Washington and Adam Driver, BlacKkKlansman is based on the true story of the first African-American police officer in Colorado Springs, who manages to infiltrate the KKK and stop a terror campaign. Released one year after the 2017 Charlottesville riots, it’s hard to imagine a more timely film or a more disquieting portrayal of the violence of racist language and images.

Washington’s deadpan-until-explosive performance is brilliant, and his presence ties the film to Lee’s Malcolm X, which stars his father, Denzel.

Topher Grace captures the disturbing boyishness of David Duke as naturally as if he were reviving Eric from That ’70s Show rather than portraying the KKK’s Grand Wizard. Supporting and cameo roles by Laura Harrier, Michael Buscemi, Harry Belafonte, and Alec Baldwin cement the stellar cast.

BlacKkKlansman offers a welcome reboot of Lee’s aesthetic, and a powerful call to reflect and take action, through pivotal, inevitable, irrevocable depictions of hate. (KCM) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

Rams 2018 Day Trips

a&e | FILM & TV CONT’D FROM P. 47 O Christopher Robin

(104 mins., PG)

A.A. Milne’s immortal Winnie-thePooh stories end with a farewell party for Christopher Robin — a metaphor for growing up — but director Marc Forster’s cinematic offering reimagines Christopher (Ewan McGregor) as an adult who prioritizes work over everything else in his life, including his daughter, Madelyn (Bronte Carmichael). Pooh appears to Christopher after he cancels a family trip to his childhood cottage because he has an emergency meeting at work. Pooh’s friends are missing, and he needs Christopher to save the day, just like he did when he was younger. Christopher agrees to help only because he wants Pooh to stop pestering him, and the adventure begins. Christopher Robin is a nostalgic and surprisingly poignant film that reminds adults to cherish childhood memories and the time they spend with loved ones. (NR) Fairview/Fiesta 5

➤ O Crazy Rich Asians (121 mins., PG-13)

Welcome to Crazy Rich Asia, a supranation of superrich people who transcend ethnicity yet fall back on it to maintain the exclusivity of their borders. The official language here is capital, and the official currency is tradition. Enter Rachel Chu (Fresh Off the Boat’s Constance Wu), a hapless Asian American who’s nailed immigrant success. She isn’t going to pass muster in this milieu, the homeland — as embodied by Singapore’s most elite settings — of her taipan-heir boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding). Or is she?

Crazy Rich Asians gives brash visuality to the shameless excesses of Kevin Kwan’s eponymous best seller. Much more than a rom com, it’s a spectacle of carefree wealth. It also takes on the formidable project of being the cinematic representation for which Asian Americans have been waiting. To this end, there’s a key plot point: In the shadow of Crazy Rich Asia is Crazy Poor Asia, and these disjointed but mutually dependent lifeworlds extend into and complicate Asian America.

But Crazy Rich Asians’ happy ending (no real spoiler here) conceals the seam between the two. It’s the quintessential fairy tale of global capitalism. (AT) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

O Incredibles 2

(118 mins., PG)

Finally, 14 years after Pixar unleashed The Incredibles, the paragon animation studio has released the long-awaited sequel, Incredibles 2. The high expectations for the follow-up to such an iconic film — especially after more than a decade — can be both its bane and its attraction. Fortunately, Incredibles 2 doesn’t disappoint. It is a fantastic film whose breadth of story and concepts match perfectly with its characters and imagination. Taking up where the orig-

inal story left off, Incredibles 2 answers the original film’s dangling questions, continues plot themes, and interweaves the Parr family’s (aka the Incredibles) challenges and humanity seamlessly into the story. This iteration dives deeper into the larger implications and politics of reintroducing “Supers” into society and is exactly the sequel that this series deserves. Incredibles 2 is a must-see Pixar classic — but definitely watch the original first. (NS) Fiesta 5 Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (114 mins., PG-13)

Taking place five years after the original film, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again brings us back to the island of Kalokairi for round two of the ABBA-inspired musical. Directed by Ol Parker (Now Is Good), the film gathers most of the original cast for its continuation story, plus Lily James (Baby Driver) as young Donna and Cher in a small role. The sequel tells its story through a combination of present-day characters and their past, younger counterparts, showing young Donna’s journey on Kalokairi before the birth of her daughter, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) and, in the present, Sophie’s attempt to rebuild her mother’s hotel on the island. At times characters and events filter in and out of the story for the novelty of relating to the music.

While this adds some aha! moments, it often feels jolting and distracts a little bit from the story. Still, while Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again maintains the silly, happy style of the original movie, it’s probably most enjoyable for diehard Mamma Mia! and ABBA fans. (NS) Paseo Nuevo

The Meg (113 mins., PG-13) Off the coast of China, a 75-footlong prehistoric megalodon attacks a research submersible, leaving the crew stranded in the ocean depths. Diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is called in to rescue the crew and stop the giant shark.

(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, operaloving seeker of justice — who happens to be a woman.

O Three Identical Strangers (96 mins., PG-13)

On his first day of college, Robert Safran was mistaken for Eddie Galland. That same night, Robert drove all the way to Eddie’s house to discover that they were, in fact, twins. They connected immediately, and when a newspaper ran their story, a third stranger, David Kellman, came “out of the woodwork” as the third triplet. And they were delighted and inseparable — at first. The documentary portrays the adult lives of the three men who discover by chance that they are identical triplets who were separated at birth. In the 1980s, the brothers’ heartwarming reunion became an instant and well-chronicled media sensation, which turned disturbing when they realized they were part of a group of identical siblings separated by an adoption agency as part of a psychological study that remains unpublished to this day.

Using archival footage, dramatic reenactments, and investigative interviews and research, the documentary poses the “nature versus nurture” question and explores the enduring consequences of institutional overreach through the adult lives of the reunited triplets. Like Diane Arbus’s unsettling photographs of identical siblings, this film refracts the inherent uncanniness of the triplets and their story and complicates our notion of the conditions that make us who we are.

SPORTS

THE WISE WARRIOR OF

CARPINTERIA FOOTBALL ick Candaele sits at his desk at Carpinteria High School,

next to a window overlooking the locker room, where a sign proclaims:“WARRIOR SPIRIT NEVER DIES.” That message resonates with Candaele, who is entering his 50th year as a high school or college coach. He is perpetually animated by his interactions with young athletes striving to achieve on the fields of friendly strife.

“I can’t do anything else,” he said. “I can’t build anything, can’t make anything, can’t draw anything”—except maybe some diagrams of football plays.

Candaele was marinated in sports from his earliest days. He started out playing hockey in Vancouver, Canada, taking after his father, Bob. His mother was an exceptional athlete. Under the name Helen Callaghan, she played for the Fort Wayne Daisies in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, immortalized in the movie A League of Their Own. The Candaele family emigrated from Canada when Rick was 10. “My dad had a bar in Phoenix called the Dugout,” he said. But heat and scorpions prompted them to move to Santa Barbara, where his father and uncle bought the Spigot, a bar and music venue on De la Vina Street.“My first job was cleaning out the Spigot every Sunday morning,” Candaele said. He went to Hope School, where “I caught my first football pass from Dr. Will Hayes.”

Eventually his father sold the bar and went to work as an electrician, settling the family in Lompoc. Rick and his four younger brothers thrived in the small town. “It became our year-round playground,” he said. He was a sophomore at Lompoc High when he put on a football uniform and pads for the first time.

“I put the girdle on backwards,” he said. There was a flap meant to cover the lumbar bones that he brought to the front.

“Why would you waste the protection and put that damn thing in the back?”

Such memories informed Candaele’s later perspective as a coach. “It’s important to have a sense of humor,” he said.

JOHN ZANT’S GAME OF THE WEEK

8/26: International Women’s Water Polo: U.S.A. vs. Australia Three-time Olympic medalist Kami Craig, a graduate of Santa Barbara High, retired from the national team in December, but a planned celebration in her hometown was canceled because of the Thomas Fire. Her time will come Sunday, when the U.S. women, ranked No. 1 in the world, play a friendly match against the Aussies. Craig won golds at the last two Olympics, and one of her 2016 teammates, Kiley Neushul, will represent Santa Barbara and Goleta on the American team, along with her sister, Jamie Neushul, and Paige Hauschild. Australia has won a gold and two bronze medals since women’s water polo was added to the Olympic program in 2000. 2pm. S.B. High School, 700 E. Anapamu St. $10-$20. Visit usawaterpolo.org.

He played multiple sports at Lompoc and the College of Idaho, and there was never a question that he would pursue a career as a coach.

His brothers went in different directions. Twins Kelly and Kerry Candaele entered journalism, politics, and academics. Casey, the youngest, took after their mother and had a nineyear career in Major League Baseball. He currently is a manager in the Toronto Blue Jays organization.

Then there was Rocky, an avid surfer. “He was 49 years old, surfing at Surf Beach. When he came out of the water, boom, he died of a heart attack,” Rick said. “A lot of people say if you’re going to go, that’s a good way to go, but I think if you would have asked him, he’d say, ‘Not yet.’”

“Not yet,” is Candaele’s answer to the question of retirement. His son, Coley, who followed him into the profession, wonders if it will ever happen.

“I’ve given up on the idea that he should travel, see the world, and relax,” said Coley, who’s coaching cross-country and football special teams at Vista Murrieta High in Riverside County this fall. “Coaching is WARRIOR SPIRIT: Carpinteria’s Rick Candaele is still excited in his 50th season as a coach. all he’s wanted to do.

WEEK OF AUGUST 23

LIBRA

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The two pieces of advice I have for you me for all of your learning needs. Due to my tendency (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In all the time we’ve worked on those qualities now, because the coming weeks will be may initially seem contradictory, but they are in fact complementary. Together they’ll help guide you through the next three weeks. The first comes from herbalist and wise woman Susun Weed. She suggests that when you face a dilemma, you should ask yourself how you can make it your ally and how you can learn the lesson it has for you. Your second burst of wisdom is from writer Yasmin Mogahed: “Study the hurtful patterns of your life. Then don’t repeat them.”

TAURUS

to emphasize the best in you and focus on healing your wounds, I may neglect some aspects of your training.

With that as caveat, I’ll offer a few meditations about future possibilities: (1) What new subjects or skills do you want to master in the next three years? (2) What’s the single most important thing you can do to augment your intelligence? (3) Are there dogmas you believe in so fixedly and rely on so heavily that they obstruct the arrival of fresh ideas? If so, are you willing to at least temporarily set them aside?

(Apr. 20-May 20): Speak the following declaration aloud LEO and see how it feels: “I want strong soft kisses and tender (July 23-Aug. 22): “All the world’s a stage,” wrote Shake-

speare, “And all the men and women merely players.” In other words, we’re all performers. Whenever we emerge from solitude and encounter other people, we choose to express certain aspects of our inner experience even as we hide others. Our personalities are facades that display a colorful mix of authenticity and fantasy. Many wise people over the centuries have deprecated this central aspect of human behavior as superficial and dishonest. But author Neil Gaiman thinks otherwise: “We are all wearing masks,” he says. “That is what makes us interesting.” Invoking his view — and in accordance GEMINI with current astrological omens — I urge you to cel(May 21-June 20): As you map out your master plan for ebrate your masks and disguises in the coming weeks. the next 14 months, I invite you to include the following Enjoy the show you present. Dare to entertain your considerations: an intention to purge pretend feelings audiences. and artificial motivations; a promise to change your relationship with old secrets so that they no longer impinge VIRGO on your room to maneuver; a pledge to explore evoca- (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I think you’ve done enough rehearsals. tive mysteries that will enhance your courage; a vow to At this point, the apparent quest for a little extra readibe kinder toward aspects of yourself that you haven’t ness is beginning to lapse into procrastination. So I’ll loved well enough; and a search for an additional source suggest that you set a date for opening night. I’ll nudge you to have a cordial talk with yourself about the value of stability that will inspire you to seek more freedom. of emphasizing soulfulness over perfectionism. What?

CANCER You say you’re waiting until your heart stops fluttering (June 21-July 22): If you have been communing with my and your bones stop chattering?

I deserve them, too.” If that puts you in a brave mood, Taurus, add a further affirmation: “I want ingenious affectionate amazements and deep dark appreciation and brisk mirthful lessons and crazy sweet cuddle wrestles. I deserve them, too.” What do you think? Do these formulas work for you? Do they put you in the proper frame of mind to cocreate transformative intimacy? I hope so. You’re entering a phase when you have maximum power to enchant and to be enchanted.

diminishing your suffering, we may have not focused enough on the fine art of resolving unfinished business. So let’s do that now, just in time for the arrival of your Season of Completion. Are you ready to start drawing the old cycle to a close so you’ll be fresh when the new cycle begins? Are you in the mood to conclude this chapter of your life story and earn the relaxing hiatus you will need before launching the next chapter? Even if you don’t feel ready, even if you’re not in the mood, I suggest you do the work anyway. Any business you leave unfinished now will only return to haunt you later. So don’t leave any business unfinished!

SCORPIO

a time when they will be both most necessary and most available to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You do not yet have access to maps of the places where you need to go next. That fact may tempt you to turn around and head back to familiar territory. But I hope you’ll press forward even without the maps. Out there in the frontier, adventures await you that will prepare you well for the rest of your long life. And being without maps, at least in the early going, may actually enhance your learning opportunities. Here’s another thing you should know: your intuitive navigational sense will keep improving the farther you get from recognizable landmarks.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you ready to mix more business AQUARIUS with pleasure and more pleasure with business than (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Healing isn’t impossible. You may not be you have ever mixed? I predict that in the coming weeks, your social opportunities will serve your professional ambitions and your professional ambitions will serve your social opportunities. You will have more than your usual amount of power to forge new alliances and expand your web of connections. Here’s my advice: Be extra charming, but not grossly opportunistic. Sell yourself, but with grace and integrity, not with obsequiousness. Express yourself like a gorgeous force of nature, and encourage others to express themselves like gorgeous forces of nature.

SAGITTARIUS

stuck with your pain forever. The crookedness in your soul and the twist in your heart may not always define who you are. There may come a time when you’ll no longer be plagued by obsessive thoughts that keep returning you to the tormenting memories. But if you hope to find the kind of liberation I’m describing here, I advise you to start with these two guidelines: (1) The healing may not happen the way you think it should or imagine it will. (2) The best way to sprout the seeds that will ultimately bloom with the cures is to tell the complete truth.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Nineteenth-century British painter J.M.W. (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “When I picture a perfect reader,” Turner was one of the greats. Renowned for his luminous wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, “I picture a monster of courage and curiosity, also something supple, cunning, cautious, a born adventurer and discoverer.” I suspect he was using the term “monster” with a roguish affection. I am certainly doing that as I direct these same words toward you, dear Sagittarian reader. Of course, I am always appreciative of your courage, curiosity, cunning, suppleness, and adventurousness. But I’m especially excited about

landscapes, he specialized in depicting the power of nature and the atmospheric drama of light and color. Modern poet Mary Ruefle tells us that although he “painted his own sea monsters,” he engaged assistants “to do small animals.”

She writes that “he could do a great sky, but not rabbits.” I’m hoping that unlike Turner, you Piscean folks will go both ways in the coming weeks. Give as much of your creative potency and loving intelligence to the modest details as to the sweeping vistas.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING City Council September 4, 2018 at 6:00 p.m.

Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Goleta City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider initiating an Ordinance Text Amendment for the new Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance. The date, time, and location of the public hearing are set forth below. The agenda for the hearing will also be posted on the City website.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: On January 1, 2018, new state regulations, Senate Bill (SB) 229 and Assembly Bill (AB) 494, came into effect regarding accessory dwelling units (ADUs), also commonly referred to as residential second units or granny flats. The new regulations are intended to help address California’s housing shortage by making it easier for property owners to develop ADUs, which are believed to help provide affordable housing options for family members, students, the elderly, in-home health care providers, the disabled, and other vulnerable populations. The state law also attempts to address local zoning barriers that may also hinder the development of ADUs (e.g., density, parking, service connections, etc.). On June 19, 2018, the City Council adopted a local ADU Ordinance to regulate the construction of ADUs within the City.

At that hearing the Council also instructed staff to research the issue of new construction of ADUs within the front yard areas of existing homes and return to discuss the topic at a public hearing.

PROJECT LOCATION: The regulations would apply citywide.

DATE AND TIME: Tuesday, September 4, 2018, at 6:00 P.M. PLACE:

City of Goleta, Council Chambers 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, California 93117

PUBLIC COMMENT: All interested persons are encouraged to attend the public hearing and to present written and/or oral comments. Written comments may be sent to the City Clerk email: dlopez@cityofgoleta.org; or mail: Attn: City Council and City Clerk at 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117. In order to be disseminated to the City Council for consideration during the Council meeting, written information must be submitted to the City Clerk no later than Monday at noon prior to the City Council meeting. Material received after this time may not be reviewed by the City Council prior to the meeting.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Additional information is on file at the Planning and Environmental Review Department, Goleta City Hall, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117. Contact J. Ritterbeck at (805) 961-7548 or jritterbeck@cityofgoleta.org for more information regarding the project. More information is also posted on CityofGoleta.org.
