Name: Nancy Rodriguez Title: Digital Assistant How’d you get interested in digital media?

I started out as a chemistry major, but after I took my first film and media studies course, I knew I had to switch. I like how digital media gives you a plethora of different options to creatively showcase an idea, and I especially like how far that idea can travel thanks to new, democratized technologies.

Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years? I would love to be in graduate school focusing on Latin American film studies or cultural theory.

What’s your favorite section of the Independent to read? I like the News of the Week section because it is important to know what is going on in the Santa Barbara community.

Kavanaugh Protest Draws a Crowd

ENVIRONMENT

A

round 200 people gathered at De la Guerra Plaza on the morning of August 26 to take part in the national day of action (pictured) against Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court. The event — organized by Women’s March Santa Barbara, Planned Parenthood California Central Coast Action Fund, S.B. Women’s Political Committee, and Immigration Advocacy Collaborative, among others—focused on human rights, especially reproductive rights, that could be put in jeopardy if Kavanaugh is confirmed.

With agreeable justices, President Trump has said he would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision establishing a woman’s fundamental right to have an abortion. “We cannot allow our daughters and granddaughters to grow up with fewer rights than we have today,” said Jenna Tosh, CEO of Planned Parenthood California Central Coast.

Assemblymember Monique Limón, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, and Congressmember Salud Carbajal rallied with the protesters. “The State of California will not stand down,” said Limón. “When threatened to close clinics, we increased Planned Parenthood funding,” she said, “and we will continue to fight back.” Jackson detailed stories of loved ones who’d traveled to Tijuana, Mexico, to access abortions prior to Roe v. Wade. “I have friends who were left infertile from illegal abortions,” said Jackson.“We will not go back!”

Retiring Fire Chief Pushes to Improve Dispatch

by Blanca Garcia

n what Santa Barbara County Fire Chief Eric Peterson described as “likely the most significant improvement in public safety in our county in decades,” the Board of Supervisors moved on Tuesday to explore separating dispatch operations for fire/ EMS and law enforcement. Currently, fire/ EMS (emergency medical services) and the Sheriff’s Office function under one dispatch center. However, contended Peterson, who is set to retire in October, that long-established system is hindering fire/EMS from making much-needed improvements.

Under the current system, for example, fire departments countywide only respond to calls within their jurisdictions. A civilian could be having a heart attack with a fire truck around the corner, but if that truck is not part of that jurisdiction, it won’t get the call.“I don’t even think our constituents know that they aren’t getting nearest-resource dispatching right now,” said Supervisor Steve Lavagnino at Tuesday’s meeting. In another less-thanideal situation, a 9-1-1 caller may not receive emergency medical dispatcher (EMD) instructions to guide them in administering pre-arrival care, such as CPR, because not all jurisdictions have EMD-trained staff.

The system’s shortcomings are not reflective of the county’s dispatch team, which was praised highly by all sides. The problem, crit-

The ongoing focus on public access to Hollister Ranch beaches has prompted Assemblymember Monique Limón to introduce AB 2534, a bill that, if signed, would establish funds specifically for facilitating coastal access. The account would be controlled by the California State Lands Commission, which has the authority to appraise land and acquire easements. “After seeing the outpour of thousands of public comments calling for greater access, it was clear that Californians wanted the state to step in,” Limón said in a statement. A second account would aim to “increase the ability of underserved and at-risk populations to participate in outdoor environmental education programs throughout the state.”

Free-fishing day in California takes place 9/1. A sport-fishing license will not be required, according to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, which hosts two such days annually, typically around Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends.

All fishing regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements, fishing hours, and stream closures, remain in effect.

Congressmember Salud Carbajal toured Carpinteria State Beach with the League of Conservation Voters, businesses leaders, and state parks rangers on 8/27. The park is partially funded and maintained by the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), set to expire 9/30, unless reauthorized by Congress.

The LWCF uses royalties from offshore oil and gas leasing to protect and maintain natural areas and waterways and to provide outdoor recreation opportunities.

RETAIL Orchard Supply Hardware’s (OSH) doors in Goleta will be closing as soon as a liquidation sale clears the shelves of inventory, Jackie Hartzell, company public relations director confirmed, citing faltering sales. Employees were notified of the decision on 8/21 at the chain’s 99 stores — mostly in California, Oregon, and Florida — and Hartzell said the company would relocate OSH employees to nearby Lowe’s stores, if possible. Employee numbers were not available for the Goleta store, she said, but OSH employs 3,900 people in California and 4,300 nationwide.

COUNTY

Santa Barbara County Fire Chief Eric Peterson (foreground), with Sheriff Bill Brown second from the left

ics said, is that all dispatch functions operate from under one roof, when calls for law enforcement and fire/EMS require very dif different areas of expertise, Peterson said.

An EMS representative said the allunder-one-roof system makes dispatch unnecessarily complex and can sometimes hinder the highest-quality response. According to County Emergency Medical Director

Dr. Angelo Salvucci, Santa Barbara County provides EMD instruction for just slightly more than half of 9-1-1 calls; Peterson is striving to deliver EMD 100 percent of the time, a feat not possible under the current system, he said.

In addition, Peterson is adamant about delivering closest-resource dispatching countywide. “Every fire chief in the county

In an effort to improve emergency communications with the community, Santa Barbara County is asking residents to complete a brief online survey.

Links to the survey will be available at countyofsb .org, readysbc.org, and the county’s social media accounts until 9/16. The county intends to share the results of the survey once it’s completed.

Via split vote 8/28, supervisors directed staff to change county rules banning short-term vacation rentals (STVRs) in residential neighborhoods near the beach. The rework comes in response to a California Coastal Commission vote against county regulations that sought to heavily restrict seaside STVRs, an ordinance that runs counter to

Water District Boils Over

C

ounty election officials have ruled that candidates running as challengers for the board of a small and ungainly named Santa Ynez water district need not own property in order to seek the post.

District managers for the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District Improvement District Number One—known colloquially as ID 1 — had sought to block two of the three challengers seeking to run against a slate of three incumbents.

Under state law, certain special-service water districts are authorized to impose property ownership requirements on water boardmembers; when ID 1 incorporated in 1959, it wrote such requirements into its charter. That language was cited by the water district’s attorney, Gary Kvistad, to block county election officials from including the names of challengers Brian Schultz and Anita Finifrock in the November ballot.

Schultz and Finifrock are part of an insurgent movement trying to take over the board majority. They claim the district’s director, Chris Dahlstrom, is paid too much—nearly $300,000 with benefits — that customer service has suffered, that district legal costs are extravagant, and that rates have gone through the roof. The challengers have been

dismissed, in turn, as greenhorn newcomers who are regurgitating complaints that were inaccurate when they first surfaced 10 years ago in a scathing grand jury report.

To fight the property requirement, the challengers hired attorney Phil Seymour, who argued that ID 1 had morphed into a general district since its founding. Whatever statutory authority the district once had to justify the property requirement, he argued, had long since passed. Such exclusionary requirements, he argued, violated the state constitution and would effectively disenfranchise large numbers of residents who do not own property.

County elections czar Joe Holland issued a decree this Monday that if the water district wanted to challenge the candidacy of the challengers, it had to do so after the election, not before. Holland said the issue “involved substantial questions of fact and law” that needed to be judicially resolved “after the election.” It remains uncertain whether Dahlstrom and Kvistad will challenge Holland’s decision. Neither returned calls for comment. As a practical matter, Holland needs to get the November ballot to the printers in the next week.

LAW & DISORDER Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 10 on Tuesday, doing away with California’s cash-bail system and replacing it with a risk-based approach. Arrestees will undergo a pretrial assessment to determine whether they are a risk to public safety and how likely they are to show up to court. Most low- and medium-risk individuals will be released. “Today, California reforms its bail system so that rich and poor alike are treated fairly,” said Governor Brown.

ELECTIONS In August 1916, women got the right to vote through the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

In celebration of the anniversary, the California State Archives launched a digital collection that documents the women’s suffrage movement in California. The archive includes campaign materials, petitions, and other documents that reflect the achievements and continued struggle of women as they fight for greater inclusion and equality. Go to sos.ca.gov to view the archive.

a state law in favor of communities that provide relatively affordable lodging options along the coast. Among other ideas that may garner the Coastal Commission’s approval, Supervisor Janet Wolf made a motion to grandfather in more than 140 existing STVRs in beach neighborhoods and require their owners to operate with revocable business licenses.

Decomposed human remains discovered along the shore off Isla Vista late last month have yet to be identified, according to the Sheriff’s Office. DNA samples have been sent to the California Department of Justice, said Lt. Kevin Huddle. “If the DNA exists in the database, we may get a hit.”

A backpack abandoned in Anisq’Oyo’ Park contained what appeared to be a pipe bomb, prompting authorities to evacuate parts of central Isla Vista on 8/22. According to the Sheriff’s Office, a parks employee discovered the backpack and delivered it to Isla Vista Foot Patrol headquarters, where authorities identified the suspicious device within before calling the county Bomb Squad. The headquarters were evacuated, as were surrounding businesses and residences. The suspicious device was determined to be a column of D batteries wrapped in silver duct tape with a cord coming out of the bottom.

Entrepreneur and engineer Karl Lopker (pictured), the cofounder of Deckers and QAD, died at age 66 on 8/25. His wife, Pamela Meyer Lopker, made the announcement, writing, “Karl bravely fought a 13-year battle with stage 4 prostate cancer. He has no regrets for his life well lived.” The couple created QAD in 1979 while searching for software to run Deckers, a shoe company Lopker had started with Doug Otto in 1975. n

call about a distraught female near Bradbury Dam prompted a large law enforcement response on August 23.

The 9-1-1 call was made just after 3:45 p.m. by a family member, who reported that Rebecca Lizarraga, 50, of Ojai was suicidal and possibly armed. The county’s sheriff’s deputies, Special Enforcement Team, and hostage negotiators, as well as the Air Support Unit and Park Rangers, responded. The helicopter crew confirmed Lizarraga had a firearm and had fired several shots into the air. Park rangers and deputies secured the Lake Cachuma area and diverted vehicle and boat traffic away from the incident. “Sheriff’s deputies are attempting to resolve the situation peacefully and get the distraught female the help she needs,” said Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kelly Hoover during the incident.

Hostage team members communicated with Lizarraga, but she continued to threaten to harm herself and fire her gun.

Ultimately, the Special Enforcement Team was able to use less-lethal impact weapons to take her into custody by 6 p.m. Lizarraga was treated at a local hospital and evaluated.

She may be charged with illegal and reckless discharge of a firearm.

Lizarraga is a private attorney who represented Aramazd Andressian, who last year was arrested for — and pleaded guilty to — kidnapping and killing his 5-year-old son. The boy’s body was found at Lake Cachuma. At the time, Andressian, a 35-year-old man from South Pasadena, and his wife were divorcing and in a bitter custody battle. The search for the couple’s 5-year-old garnered state and national attention. Lake Cachuma was searched multiple times before the child’s body was found.

Lizarraga represented Andressian in the divorce and custody battle and functioned as Andressian’s spokesperson during the search for his child.

On Crime, Justin Fareed Channels Trump

R

epublican Justin Fareed — on the homestretch of his third race against Congressmember Salud Carbajal — has launched a new public messaging campaign that attempts to paint his opponent as soft on crime and highlights offenses committed by undocumented Central Coast residents.

Fareed’s latest TV ad states local “women have been raped and murders have been committed by people here unlawfully,” and in a series of tweets, he accuses Carbajal of failing to close legislative loopholes that let “violent, unlawful criminals rape, murder & attack the citizens of the Central Coast.”

Fareed seizes specifically on the recent arrest of a Santa Maria Uber driver “here unlawfully” who is accused of sexually assaulting multiple women in San Luis Obispo. “These crimes are happening right here & are happening more & more often,” he declares.

“When Salud refuses to stand up for Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents he puts our families at risk.”

Fareed campaign spokesperson Austin Stukins insisted Fareed’s statements “are explicitly about crime and public safety. This is not an immigration issue.” Stukins said Carbajal’s legislative positions — including his vote against Kate’s Law, which would enhance penalties for deported criminals who reenter the United States — have made it harder for “law enforcement to catch bad guys and send them back home.” He invoked the murders of Marilyn Pharis and Iowa resident Mollie Tibbetts at the hands of undocumented immigrants.

Carbajal’s camp has been quick to condemn Fareed’s messaging. “Fareed is tak-

ing a page right out of Trump’s playbook by choosing fearmongering and targeting immigrant communities over focusing on important issues for working families, like affordable health care and creating jobs here on the Central Coast,” said Carbajal spokesperson Tess Whittlesey. Carbajal “vehemently agrees violent criminals who are here unlawfully absolutely need to be prosecuted and deported,” she said, adding that the Kate’s Law bill would fail to accomplish that and instead also criminalize asylum seekers.

Whittlesey said Carbajal offered an amendment exempting asylum seekers and human trafficking victims, but Republicans rejected it.

This Tuesday, House Speaker Paul Ryan personally lobbied on Fareed’s behalf. In an email to donors, Ryan said Fareed is in “a tough, but winnable election campaign,” and he described the former UCLA running back as “part of the next generation of Republican leaders” whose “knowledge and expertise” are needed in Congress. Fareed has so far raised $755,253, with $245,933 in cash on hand. Carbajal has raised $2,212,576, with $1,564,266 in cash at his disposal.

n response to the growing threat of fires and crime associated with encampments (pictured) of people who are homeless along the Santa Ynez River, the Lompoc Police Department has spearheaded a campaign to relocate as many of the outdoor squatters as possible. “We’re talking thirdworld conditions,” said Police Chief Pat Walsh.“It’s not just a crime issue; it’s a public health issue.” In the past year, 28 fires reportedly broke out in the dry brush along the city’s riverbank. In the past week, there have been three. Walsh stressed that not one arrest has been made and that his department was deploying the carrot rather than the stick.

Enjoined in the effort is Home for Good —a homeless services omnibus group—the Good Samaritan homeless shelter, and Santa Barbara County’s departments of Behavioral Wellness, Public Health, and Probation.

“There’s not any one type of homeless down here along the river bed,” Walsh said.

“We try to meet people where they are in their lives.” Walsh said 100 people had been living along the riverbanks eight months ago; now, he estimated, it’s about half. Still, he said, the number of petty thefts remains unacceptably high. “If you live within half a

mile [of an encampment], anything left in your backyard will be gone,” he said. Rapes have grown more frequent, he added, and some of the squatters have used fire as a way to get back at those with whom they’re feuding.

Last November, a man squatting in a makeshift camp was shot to death by the jealous ex-boyfriend of his new girlfriend.

Later that same day, Lompoc police officers shot and killed the shooter, Geronimo Vicente Santos, when he pulled a gun on them. This week, the District Attorney ruled the homicide of Santos—shot eight times and grazed by two additional shots—was justified.

4-1: Supervisor Janet Wolf (right) cast the sole vote against exploring the separation of fire/EMS and lawenforcement dispatch services.

Dispatch System cont’d from p. 9 agrees there should be ‘borderless’ response,” he said. To facilitate this, fire department leaders have expressed their desire to consolidate under what’s called a joint powers agreement (JPA). The JPA would also allow for real-time electronic communication, something not currently in place among the seven dispatch centers in Santa Barbara County.

The topic of effective communication has become increasingly pertinent as the county has recently experienced several large-scale emergencies and disasters. “Emergencies demand a unified and well-informed response,” said Peterson, calling for consolidation under a JPA. Not everyone was on board. Supervisor Janet Wolf voted against analyzing the option of separate dispatch centers. Sheriff Bill Brown also spoke against it, saying the current dispatch system works “brilliantly.”

Brown and Wolf see value in the multidisciplinary system, which Brown said has “proved to be effective.” Under the same roof, “it’s easier to dispatch, to coordinate response,” he said.

Sheriff’s Deputy Neil Gowing was also against the split. “To separate call takers would be a critical mistake,” he said. Gowing added that a number of medical calls sometimes require deputies to respond first.

He believes separating the two departments could lengthen response time.

Dr. Salvucci assured that this has not been the case in Ventura County, where he has also been EMS director and where fire/EMS run separately from law enforcement dispatch.

“We provide a faster response to save more lives,” said Salvucci. In the Ventura system, as would be the case in Santa Barbara County, all 9-1-1 calls are picked up by law enforcement dispatch. They then determine whether the call should be redirected to fire/EMS. Still, “they will stay online until it is clear to them law enforcement is not needed,” said Salvucci.“[Our system] works well and has a long history. Everyone believes it works well.”

In exploring the option to separate the facilities, the Board of Supervisors will also consider which of the two — Sheriff’s Office or fire/EMS — would have to relocate to Santa Maria’s new dispatch center, a state-of-the-art n facility.

Music Fest Moves for Fire Risk

T

he Live Oak Music Festival, where tiedyed oldsters have celebrated “peace, love, and dirt” every Father’s Day weekend for nearly the past 30 years, is moving out of its digs in Santa Barbara County in large measure because of increased fire risk. The festival’s current location at the Live Oak Campground, just off Highway 154, is designated an official base camp for firefighters. In the event of a fire, the music festival would get bumped, and its organizer — public radio station KCBX, out of San Luis Obispo — would not be eligible to get insurance compensation caused by loss of revenue. “We’d be bankrupt,” explained Marisa Waddell, the station’s program director. With fire season becoming a yearlong event, Waddell said the probability of getting bumped had become untenable.“We’ve already had a couple of close calls,” she said.

“One time we came within two days.”

The music festival — a three-day celebration of folk and roots music from around the world — is the single biggest fundraiser for KCBX outside of its regular pledge drives.

On any given day, about 3,000 people attended the festival, about half of whom camped there. Most hailed from San Luis Obispo County. Waddell said the festival will be moving to El Chorro Park along Highway 1 between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. The name of the festival will remain unchanged, however. Waddell noted that the campsite — formerly known as San Marcos Campground — changed its name to Live Oak only after the festival located there.

“That’s ours,” Waddell said. “We’re keeping it.” She added costs have gone up at Live Oak as well. The County of Santa Barbara, she noted, tripled the per-ticket fees it charged the festival this past year alone. The new location will also be considerably cooler than the Live Oak site, she said, by about 15 degrees during the day and five degrees at night.

Still, the decision to move was anything but easy. “It’s very bittersweet,” she said. “We love this place. A lot of us feel we grew up with the festival here. It’s very beautiful.”

No Dogs Need Apply

BURNED AGAIN: I wasn’t in the room at the time, so I don’t really know what happened.

Had I been there, I still wouldn’t know. It’s doubtful you would either.

I’m referring to the festering shit show now threatening to go radioactive between the firefighters and the enviros about how best to get ready for the inevitable next big ones.

Given that fire season is now longer than

football, basketball, and baseball seasons combined, this discord qualifies as a luxury

we can all ill afford.

Giving rise to the latest installment of strife and dysfunction have been efforts to craft a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for the outer limits of Goleta and the San Marcos Pass. Such plans are required for various funding purposes. Required of such plans is “community collaboration.” In other words, people who’d rather cross the street than have to feign lack of eye contact actually have to sit around the table. In the San Marcos effort, this exercise in collective rictus lasted more than a year.

On one side was the every-stump-ofchaparral-is-sacred crowd. Emotionally, these people regard firebreaks as the work of Satan, analogous to graffiti scrawled across the courthouse. Intellectually, they argue firebreaks and controlled burns tend to be ecologically destructive, extremely expensive, and highly ineffective when it comes to actually protecting vulnerable structures. Resources would be much better spent, they insist, retro-

fitting homes in high-fire-risk zones to make them more fire-resistant and fireproof.

On the flip side are the firefighters, coming off the most physically harrowing, emotionally draining combat they’ve ever experienced: the Thomas Fire coupled with the Debris Flow from Hell. If people insist on occupying indefensible landscapes, the outer limits of rustic wonder, then firefighters need safe spaces carved and gouged into the hillsides where firefighters are likely to be dispatched.

Eric Peterson, Santa Barbara County’s soonto-be-retiring but hardly ever shy fire chief, put it delicately when he demanded nothing less than “big-ass” fuel breaks. Naturally, I couldn’t agree more with both sides.

According to the firefighters, the ecowarriors showed up late, left early, and never stated their concerns when time existed to actually address them. In other words, bad faith in the extreme. Then at the 11th hour and 59th minute, they stormed out, taking their ball and going home.

On the flip side, the eco warriors contend they got baited and switched. They showed up with the misapprehension that the new plan would focus as much on structure-ignition vulnerability issues—“home hardening” for short — as it did on fuel management. Instead, they claim, they got a couple of pages of boilerplate advisory lingo cut and pasted into the document. Conspicuously lacking for their agenda was any funding. It was all, at least in their eyes, happy talk but zero action.

Caught in the middle, of course, was the squadron of pointy-headed intellectuals and scientists whose participation, it was hoped, would help shed light. They got their own noses seriously out of joint when an email written by some hot-headed firefighter besmirching their scientific integrity got leaked.

On any given Sunday, these are tough crowds from which to coax collaboration. Now throw into the mix the collective post-traumatic stress disorder we can safely assume is any firefighters’ neurons at the bargaining table. Add to that a warp-10, up-against-thewall sense of urgency any eco warrior in the time of Trump must feel. Maybe both sides should be microdosed with psilocybin or some other trendy psychoactive compound now being used to reboot the soul for people facing death, destruction, and despair.

It can be done. State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, for example, authored one bill that opens the door to more controlled burns. It also gives fire departments authority to weigh in on planning issues for development in high-fire-risk zones. But Jackson also introduced a bill that creates a new funding stream to enable homeowners to finance the fireprevention retrofits the enviros want.

Based on California’s most recent climate assessment —released this week—the innate variability of our temperature and precipitation patterns is about to get a whole lot more variable. Our dry periods are going to get more prolonged and violent. Our wet periods will be shorter and more violent. It will be the Pineapple Express versus the Blast Furnace.

Under one scenario, the region’s average maximum temperature could go from its historic 68.6 degrees — from 1961 to 1990 — to 75 by the end of the century. Likewise, the number of days we exceed temperature thresholds for “normal” could jump from 4.3 to 33. To paraphrase Bette Davis, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

This week, organizers of the Live Oak Music Festival announced they were moving their annual music extravaganza an hour north; their campgrounds on San Marcos Road will be needed, they explained, as a base camp for firefighters. In Lompoc, authorities are clearing camps of homeless people from the banks of the Santa Ynez River in part because there have been 28 fires there the past year, just three the past week. In September, a group of politically connected, privately funded, bigshoed bigwigs — Santa Barbara Independent investor and former publisher Joe Lee Cole among them—will go public with plans to place a series of giant steel hairnets over

the steep creek channels that funnel water, mud, and boulders the size of barns down the slopes behind Montecito. Their hope is to get some “net curtains” installed before this winter’s anticipated El Niño rains can strike and trigger yet another avalanche of death and destruction.

Does this plan make any sense? Under what circumstances? Maybe we should talk.

Like I said, I wasn’t in the room when the argument exploded. But if we don’t get over it, it’s only a matter of time—but not much —before we no longer have a room in which — Nick Welsh to bicker.

To Cut or Not to Cut CONT’D

Fire Protection and Environmental Protection Can Be Balanced

W

BY PHILIP SEYMOUR

hile I take exception to some points in Melinda Burns’s recent article on “fuel breaks” (independent .com/fuelbreaks), she deserves credit for trying to unravel a complicated subject in which simplistic thinking and uninformed opinion are not particularly helpful. As a former chief counsel for the Environmental Defense Center, a longtime mountain resident, and before that, a U.S. Forest Service firefighter for 10 years, I believe that fire protection and environmental protection can be balanced in a way that works for everyone who loves our mountains and foothills, including those of us who actually live here.

No responsible person today denies that intelligent wildfire protection involves both vegetation management and “hardening” of homes to improve their survivability. Even groups like the Chaparral Institute and Los Padres ForestWatch acknowledge this on their websites, although not always in other public statements. Of course it is fair to ask how much vegetation needs to be removed, and what can be done to minimize habitat impacts from fuel-reduction projects.

The Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) that the San Marcos Pass mountain and foothill communities have been working on for two and a half years addresses these issues, and also structure hardening, in great detail. The CWPP is a joint effort of County Fire and Forest Service vegetation management experts, experienced firefighters, mountain and foothill citizen representatives, environmental representatives, and a highly recognized consulting firm that has previously prepared CWPPs for Goleta, Montecito, and the Santa Monica Mountains.

Our CWPP does not propose any major new fuel breaks. What the CWPP recommends is maintaining, and in a few cases expanding, existing narrow bands of fuel reduction around our major communities, i.e., the San Marcos foothill tracts, Trout Club, and Painted Cave. The CWPP also identifies a few potential locations for tactical breaks that could help hold fires along area roadways. Lastly, the CWPP recommends clearing narrow strips along roadways to improve escape routes and access for firefighters. Having driven down a road surrounded by flames during my hotshot days, I can tell you it is not something I want my wife to experience when evacuating our pet rabbits from Painted Cave.

Regarding habitat protection, the CWPP contains 14 pages of recommendations for minimizing impacts and preserving habitat values in fuel treatment zones. Defensible space does not mean, as some opponents imagine, ground stripped of all vegetation.

Well-designed defensible space preserves more valuable chaparral species such as manzanita and oaks and leaves islands of mixed vegetation to serve as browse and cover for wildlife species. Some recommen-

dations in our CWPP will greatly improve fuel management practices, which have not always been environmentally sensitive in the past.

The CWPP also contains extensive information and recommendations on structure hardening. This is not exactly new information, nor is it rocket science. The hard part is financing structure improvements. Those of us who can afford things like re-siding our homes or new double-pane windows have mostly done it. This is not an option for the 70-year-old widow who lives down the street from me in Painted Cave. For her and other residents, saying they should harden their homes instead of clear brush amounts to “Let them eat cake.” Hardening homes is also not quite the panacea that groups like ForestWatch seem to imagine. Several homes that burned in the recent Holiday and Thomas fires were great examples of hardened homes but burned anyway. Multiply that by hundreds around the state.

The problem is that it only takes one small ember getting in to start a house burning.

If you are not home to batten the hatches when a fire starts, or an unlatched door swings open after a hasty evacuation, or if your contractor screwed up when installing new siding, you can lose your home.

There is only one thing that is truly effective in saving homes. That is having firefighters present to halt direct flames and ember fires before they do major damage. That is actually what the whole concept of defensible space is about. Firefighters need safe distances from intense heat and smoke to work safely and effectively.

In the wildland setting, that means reducing surrounding natural fuels. Firefighters have died in multiple cases where they were more than 100 feet — the minimum defensible space for homes required by California law — from standing brush. Gambling with firefighters’ lives is not something our CWPP is going to do.

In the end, our County Board of Supervisors is going to approve a CWPP that protects public safety, even if it does not protect every square foot of chaparral. I think the board will find this an easy decision, however, because our CWPP actually does protect the mountain environment we love as much as realistically possible, while still adequately protecting homes and firefighter lives. This is something environmentalists should be supporting, not opposing.

Why Methods of the Past Won’t Work

A

BY BRYANT BAK ER AND J E F F K U Y P E R

s fire season continues around

the state, a recurring conversation about what needs to be done differently to protect our communities is taking place in Santa Barbara. With so much at stake, whatever actions we take as a community must be based on an accurate understanding of wildfire in our region — which can be quite different than elsewhere in the state. With science as our guide, we can ensure that our limited resources are spent wisely, that homes and lives are saved, that firefighters aren’t placed at undue risk, and that we’re focusing on ways to truly make a difference in our ongoing relationship with wildfire.

Chaparral is the shrubland ecosystem that manages to survive the harsh, dry mountains along the Central and South Coasts through several unique adaptations. It provides habitat for our local birds, mammals, pollinators, and other wildlife. It holds the steep slopes above our towns in place.

And it provides an enchanting landscape to explore and appreciate.

Chaparral wildfires are naturally large and intense fires that burn most of the vegetation in an area, leaving the landscape bare. During the dry summer and autumn months, our region’s naturally dense shrubland vegetation will burn if it has an ignition, and these have been increasing in step with our area’s population.

Before humans settled the region, wildfires could only ignite from lightning, meaning a single area naturally burned once every 30-150 years. Now, dozens of fires burn across the region each year, 98 percent of them a result of human activity. Several scientific papers have concluded that unnatural amounts of fuel have not accumulated in the chaparral despite such a claim being continually repeated. Science has also shown that chaparral areas that burn more often than every 30 years and areas that are repeatedly cleared for “fuel reduction” can become replaced by invasive grasses and weeds — referred to as “flashy fuels” — which dry out quicker and spread wildfire faster.

In 2014, a Berkeley fire ecologist was the lead author of a widely acclaimed scientific paper titled “Learning to Coexist with Wildfire.” Its central thesis? Those of us living on the edge of such fire-prone landscapes are the ones who need to adapt, not the landscapes around us. And we can do this in a few important ways, according to researchers: INDEPENDENT.COM

(1) We first must retrofit our existing

homes with fire-safe materials such as noncombustible roofs, ember screens, and double-paned windows.

(2) We also need to establish and maintain

smart defensible space within 60-100 feet from the home.

(3) We need to improve early warning

and evacuation notification systems to ensure people in vulnerable areas can escape from an oncoming wildfire quickly and safely.

(4) We then must turn to developing new

policies to prevent home construction in dangerous, flammable areas within what’s known as the wildland-urban interface.

On this last point, more than 60 new homes have been built in the area burned by the destructive Painted Cave Fire in 1990 — most of them within an area designated

by Cal Fire as a “Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.” This places a heavy toll on our firefighters, who are tasked with defending an ever-growing number of homes in inherently unsafe areas.

These steps — making our homes fire safe, maintaining defensible space, and reexamining land-use policies — will take an investment of time and money. But our investment will pay off dividends in the long run, and ultimately, it will help us adapt to living in a region that experiences frequent wildfires. It will also relieve the pressure of fighting fires in dangerous wildland areas and focus more of our resources on preventing human-caused ignitions in the first place.

ForestWatch and other science-based groups were involved in drafting the San Marcos Pass and Eastern Goleta Valley Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). While ForestWatch are no longer involved, as the process moves forward, we hope that the final CWPP will ultimately strike a better balance that will make our communities — and the firefighters who defend them — safer.

As we and all of the scientific advisors to the CWPP team have repeatedly stated: Vegetation clearance is just one piece of the puzzle to protect communities from wildfire. We must devote an equal amount (or more) of time and resources to making homes more fire resistant, improving evacuation systems, and avoiding development of fire-prone areas. Without shifting more of our collective time, money, and effort from vegetation management projects that may only result in a false sense of security to these science-based approaches, our communities will continue to be at significant risk.

The Disrupter Charter School Crusader Fights Unions in Bid for California Schools Supe Marshall Tuck

S

ix months ago, Marshall Tuck was booed off the stage at the California Democratic Party convention.

“I go onstage, and I didn’t get a word out,” recalled Tuck, a nominal Democrat running against the party’s endorsed candidate for state superintendent of public instruction. “I start with ‘I …’ and just, ‘Boooo!’ I was booed the entire time—the timer ends, and at the end, they’re like, ‘Get off the stage, buddy.’ ” Last week, Tuck laughed about the experience during an interview in his windowless Culver City campaign headquarters, recounting what happened when he got home.

“I told my wife and son I got booed,” he said, “and for like a week, every time I’d start to say something, my kid would just immediately say,‘Boooo!’”

Not the union label. Tuck’s rough treatment by Dem activists reflects the dynamic of the campaign for the open superintendent’s post, a competitive, bigdollar race that represents a kind of proxy war in the long-running debate over education reform.

He faces Bay Area Assemblymember Tony Thurmond, who enjoys the backing both of the ruling Democratic Party and the California Teachers Association, Sacramento’s most powerful special-interest organization, which views Tuck’s proposals with alarm.

Garrulous, intense, and boyish looking, the 45-year-old Tuck worked on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley before moving into education administration. Allied with then mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, he became CEO of the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, a controversial public-private enterprise that ran more than a dozen struggling schools. Prior to that, he was president of the Green Dot Public Schools charter management organization, which created 10 new charter high schools in poor neighborhoods.

Now he seeks to become the first superintendent in 30 years who is not a professional pol (including Santa Barbara’s Jack O’Connell, who served 2003-2011). Not since former teacher Bill Honig’s turbulent stint in the 1980s have voters elected a nonpolitician as the state’s highest-ranking K-12 official, an allegedly nonpartisan post with limited powers but considerable bullypulpit potential.

“Honig was the last educator,” Tuck said. “When his term ended, that’s where it turned really from educator to politicians.”

Behind the boos. There’s no mystery why Tuck got mugged at the convention.

In 2014, he lost a challenge for superintendent to former legislator Tom Torlakson, who’s now termed out, but remained a prominent advocate for charter alternatives to troubled public schools. Tuck is backed

Stuart Hamilton Fredericks 02/12/41-06/20/18

The local community lost a special member in June when Santa Barbara native son Stu Fredericks left us for the next set of waves.

Stuart Hamilton Fredericks, was born at St. Francis Hospital in 1941. He attended Garfield grammar school, La Cumbre Junior High School, and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1959. In high school, he belonged to the Knights car club showcasing his prized wheels and there he began his career as a local surfer. Ken Kesson and Renny Yater had introduced him to a new way of life. Stu used his drawing skills to design the iconic logo for the Santa Barbara Sportsman Club, alias “The Ranch”. He attended Santa Barbara City College for three years. His math teacher, Geno Brady, was sympathetic when they both saw waves at Leadbetter Point.

Stu moved to San Francisco to finish his education at San Francisco State, receiving a double major in Physical Science and Geography. Alas, he found much more surf than expected, and he and Andy Neumann logged hours outside of their schooling at Ocean Beach, Taraval Street and Fleischhaker Peak. Stu helped form the Pedro Point Surf Club in order to compete in contests between Santa Barbara, Malibu, Santa Cruz and Wind N Sea. At this time, Stu was taking orders for Yater Surfboards from the front seat of his car.

While at San Francisco State, he met Linda Pardo. He introduced her to Santa Barbara, and proposed, ever so romantically behind Foster Freeze on De La Vina Street. They married in 1966.

During that summer Stu lifeguarded for small Carpinteria State Beach where they won the coveted State Championship Relay Race. He was the team board paddler. After his stint as a guard, Linda insisted he take a full-time job. He took her advice, and some 33 years later retired from the County of Santa Barbara’s Building and Surveying department. During those years he became a proud father to their daughter Brooke and later their son, Matthew.

These were busy years filled with learning and giving. He enjoyed raising ferns, cymbidiums and laelias. He collected 20

unique rocks, antique bottles and cans and books. He honored the Chumash history, Rincon “Queen of the Coast”, and the topography of the backcountry of Santa Barbara. He loved antiquing and searching for rare bottles and California art. An ardent fly fisherman, he accepted the fact that he could not tie flies! He began to draw in earnest and built a portfolio of original western scenes and also spent time illustrating Santa Barbara historical buildings.

Stu also took up mountain biking in the 80’s. He rode the Indian and Lions Canyons, the Sespe and the Tepusquet. These rides often included Mark Mittermiller and fishing. He also used his Ritchie mountain bike to get all around the town he loved.

He included his family on many of these hiking and biking trips. Stu’s preferred region was the Eastern Sierras. For many years he hiked throughout the range.

Decades ago, Stu began to realize symptoms of his declining health. With the loss of his incredible balance, he was forced to end surfing and pen and ink illustration. He then turned to painting and later photography as an outlet for his creativity. He could be seen many days at the Santa Barbara Harbor with his great companion of 14 years, a Jack Russell Terrier named Charlotte. In this way, he could remain close to the ocean and chat daily with the fisherman.

When driving was no longer an option, Stu walked every day to breakfast. He shared his mornings with friends, Sal the cook and waitress Elena. Then he would proceed to walk to the SB Public library, find his favorite chair, and study a stack of books about California history and art. All the while being watched over by the library staff, the community’s unsung heroes. He would smile while referring to this place as “my office”. Stu enjoyed his lively conversations with friend Steve Rafetto. Bike racing was also a favorite topic, especially the Tour de France, with his son-inlaw Ken Doyle.

A man of few toys other than the necessary sporting equipment, he was never worried and took time with everyone. He understood that life is not about possessions but the encounters you make along the way and the adventures that you have. He knew he was fortunate to live in Santa Barbara and did not require more.

Due to excellent care from his local doctors as well as the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA he was able to extend his life to the fullest despite his very challenging disease known as Huntington’s.

His son Matt and partner Jes-

A celebration of his life is planned for Friday September 21 at Leadbetter Beach Park at 2:30.

Laurie Marie (Babica) Spann 01/29/60-08/13/18

Laurie Marie (Babica) Spann, 58, died Monday, August 13, 2018 in her Carpinteria home alongside her family from a long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer.

She leaves her husband, James, sons Nicholas Michael, Jeffrey James (Tessie) and Christopher Camron, grandson Hunter James, mother Sophie “Sue” Torres Raggio (Larry), brother Donald Jr. (Marie), close friend Clarice Rincon, and numerous in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends.

She was preceded in death by her father, Donald Sr., in 2003; step father Marine Veteran Mike Torres, in 1998; Grandmother Harriet Babica, in 2001; Grandmother Eva Arellano, in 2003; and Aunt Mertyl West, in 2017.

Laurie was born in Berwyn, Illinois on January 29, 1960. In 1971, Laurie’s family moved to Riverside, Illinois across the street from her future high school sweetheart and husband.

James and Laurie were married on November 17, 1979 and soon after Nicholas and Jeffrey were born. In 1983, James moved the family to Carpinteria, California where he pursued his general contracting business. It was then that they both took lessons and became certified scuba divers, an experience that affected Laurie for the remainder of her life. The diving took her and the family to places like Tahiti, Hawaii, Cancun, Cozumel and other worldly locations where Laurie also enjoyed deep sea fishing, white water rafting, hiking, camping and other outdoor adventures.

Laurie loved to hike and found the ocean and beaches as areas of refuge where she could find peace and calm.

It was also at this time that Laurie became heavily involved in the Carpinteria Community first as a real estate agent and then as a volunteer to local events including the then fledgling and

INDEPENDENT.COM

now infamous, Carpinteria Avocado Festival. In the early years, that was Laurie on her skates dressed up as an avocado! Laurie really enjoyed the coastal life in a small community, it certainly was a welcome change of pace from the Chicago Metropolitan Area.

In 1998 Christopher was born creating a second term of motherhood that Laurie thoroughly enjoyed. Being older, wiser and “tanner”, she excelled at being a “mature” mom and devoted her life to all three of her boys spending countless hours at their sports venues, on the beach, camping, fishing, diving, hiking and just hanging out. The fact that her older boys mentored her youngest son was, for Laurie, a personal joy that brought her happiness and delight.

In 2015 Laurie became a grandmother to Hunter (Jeffrey and Tessie) who brought so much joy and love into her life.

A memorial service is set for Saturday, September 22, 2018 at 10:00 am at Welch-Ryce-Haider, 15 East Sola St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101. From there, there will be a grave site service at the Carpinteria Cemetery, 1501 Cravens Lane, Carpinteria, CA 93013.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made in Laurie’s name to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance (www.give.ocrfa.org). www.give.ocrfa.org www.give.ocrfa.org).

Audrey Ann Hamilton 06/03/32-06/10/18

Audrey Ann (McIntyre) Hamilton, age 86, passed away at home Sunday, June 10, 2018 in Santa Barbara. She exited this life peacefully of natural causes while gardening under the blue sky and swaying green trees in her serene creekside backyard, surrounded by birds singing. This exit was emblematic of how she often lived her life - spontaneous, joyful, open and free.

Born in Davenport, Iowa on June 3, 1932 to Kent and Jane McIntyre, Audrey and her older sister Jeanne spent early years in many cities following their father’s work. As a child and teen she was athletic, and was proficient in basketball, tennis, bowling, and dance. She earned her bachelor of arts from the University of Michigan in physical education, and Master’s degree in dance at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1962. A devoted student of the modern dance pioneer, Mary Wigman, Audrey found great meaning in creative dance

and taught modern dance at UCLA from 1956 - 1964. Her assistance in dance therapy research was highly praised by the lead researcher. The professor wrote that her sensitivity and understanding of the children was critical to the success of their study.

She married and divorced twice, first to Lee Robinson (1962-63) and then to Brett Hamilton (1964-66). Afterward, she devoted herself to being the best mother possible for her young daughter.

A resident of Santa Barbara since 1968, Audrey taught social dance at UCSB and the YMCA for many years. She was one of the stalwart forces in Santa Barbara keeping the foxtrot, waltz, and mambo alive during the disco years. She was also a legal secretary, an avid commodities day trader and would-be architect, always fascinated by home design. She loved to cook and try new recipes through Adult Education, which was also where she took some music classes. She had a strong sense of design and loved to sew prom dresses, gardening shirts, wedding dresses, and even little outfits for her granddaughter’s pet rat!

Whimsy and spontaneous fun defined her. Want to explore the Bacara before it opens and ogle movie stars? Crash a New Year’s Party at the Red Lion? Visit Buckingham Palace and try to get the Sentry of the Grenadier Guards to crack a smile? She had no problem adventuring into officially forbidden territory, as long as there was potential fun. She had no understanding of society’s sophistry, pretenses or formalism, and experienced life with the innocent heart of a child. This is the great gift she brought this world - a living example of deep joy in the little things of life, spontaneous compassion for people and animals that revealed a fundamental purity of soul.

Our beloved Audrey is survived by her sister Jeanne and brother-in-law Jack, cousin Mary, daughter Kim and sonin-law Joseph of Santa Barbara; granddaughter Nari and grandson-in-law Wing; nephews Eli and Jack and their families.

Her ashes will rest next to her parents and grandparents in Acacia Park Cemetery in Franklin, Michigan. A private memorial service will be held September 8; contact kstar137@ gmail.com for details.

obituaries Jaan Karsh 1949-2018

After being surrounded by her beloved family members and friends during her final weeks in this world, Jaan Karsh passed away on the morning of August 20, 2018.

Jaan was the first child of a large loving family consisting of her mother, Ronnie, her father, Norman, sisters and brothers Andy Karsh, Scott Karsh, Lori Karsh Williams, Jim Johnston and Kim Johnston Martin, and aunts, uncles, and cousins, including Aunt Margot Nuthmann, who tirelessly and lovingly helped Jaan throughout her final months.

Jaan was born in Hammond, Indiana, where Jaan’s family owned and operated a bakery.

Jaan had fond memories of the scintillating scents and irresistibly tempting taste of the baked goods. Jaan relished the warmth of the bakery and of her family, friends, and community.

When Jaan was a young child, her family moved to Fresno, where they operated another bakery. Her family recalls that Jaan was absolutely gorgeous and adorable. Everyone thought she would have been a great model for children’s clothing.

Jaan returned to Hammond as a teenager, to live with her grandmother and attend high school. Jaan was always a good student and had a keen interest in all aspects of high school life, particularly the boys! She was charming, vivacious and engaging and never had any difficulty finding a date for a school dance. Most importantly, she had a knack, even from an early age, for engaging with people, recognizing the best in each person, and letting her friends and family know that they were special to her.

Jaan had a close-knit extended family. She used to love spending time with them, especially on vacations. Perhaps it was those vacations that sparked Jaan’s lifelong love of travel.

Jaan went to work at Disneyworld before it even opened, helping them to develop their tourism. While in Florida, she graduated from college. From that time forward, Jaan’s professional life centered on the travel industry. After graduating from college, she moved to Santa Barbara, where she held various travel-related jobs, including at the Fess Parker Hotel. The

The biggest joy of Jaan’s life, and the thing for which she most wants to be remembered, was being Heather Karsh’s mom. To say that Jaan loved and adored her “Heather from Heaven,” who Jaan described as being born in Jaan’s heart, with all of her heart and soul would be an enormous understatement. Jaan desperately wanted to have a child, and it was not until later in her life that she adopted Heather. From the moment they met, they formed a love so deep that no challenge, trauma, or tragedy could alter it. Jaan loved everything about Heather, but particularly loved Heather’s thoughtfulness and compassion for others.

Jaan relished food and was well known for eating slowly and savoring every bite. It was during her childhood that Jaan first developed her lifelong love for ice cream and popcorn. A recurring theme in her life was munching on popcorn with friends and family, particularly in the evening. Heather happily continues that theme.

Like Jaan, Heather developed a love for animals. In Jaan’s case it was dogs, especially her treasured Kirby Boy and Artie Joe. For Heather, it is dogs and horses. Jaan did whatever she could to make sure that Heather could spend time riding and taking care of horses. Jaan was especially proud of Heather for volunteering at Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center, which uses horses to inspire, strengthen, and motivate people of all ages and capabilities.

Jaan was not extravagant, but did occasionally pamper herself. She enjoyed an occasional spa treatment and traveling.

More often, she enjoyed simple pleasures, such as walking on the beach, picking up shells and rocks, exploring the underwater world of SCUBA, giving and receiving massages, taking and teaching stretching and yoga classes, being in or near water, or simply relaxing in a hammock.

Jaan asked that we include the following in her obituary: “As she transitions from this world to the next life, she leaves this world having loved and been loved, having accomplished, and, most importantly, having been mom to her amazing daughter, Heather. Heather was her life’s greatest challenge, but more so, and much more importantly, her life’s greatest love and reward.

She was a highly independent, determined, stubborn, impatient, and serious-minded woman, but one with a deep compassionate soul, who laughed wholeheartedly and loved without limits.”

There will be a celebration of Jaan’s life at 6 pm on Thursday September 20 at Congregation

Donna Binkley Coffman 1928-2018

Donna Binkley Coffman and David S. Coffman, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed quietly at her home in Nipomo, California on June 14 with her husband and three sons present.

Donna was born in 1928 to Orville and Augusta Binkley in Ogle County, Illinois.

She was raised by her aunt and uncle, Homer and Ethel Rodeffer, from the age of 5, when they moved to California.

She earned her BA degree at La Verne University, where she met her husband of 65 years, David S. Coffman. They moved to Isla Vista in 1956 where they raised their three sons while Donna pursued a career in Early Childhood Education. Donna taught at the Devereaux Foundation, San Marcos High, and Santa Barbara City College. She retired from the Family Service Agency in 1993.

Donna was survived by her husband David, who passed on July 18th.

David was born in 1928 to John and Roxanna Coffman in Laton, CA He earned his BA degree at La Verne University. David and Donna were married in 1952 by his father, a minister in the Brethren Church. David spent his career as an educator at the Devereaux Foundation in Goleta, and shared his love of the outdoors with friends and family.

Upon relocating to Nipomo, California, she and David were active in the Nipomo Presbyterian Church. They carried their faith through their entire lives, always willing to offer comfort and share in the joys of life.

They are survived by their three sons, Dennis (Dorothy), Roger (Lisa), and Jeffrey (Lisa), along with six grandchildren and one great grandchild.

A joint memorial service will be held Saturday, Sept. 8, 2018, 11:00am at Nipomo Presbyterian Church, 1235 N Thompson Ave, Arroyo Grande, CA.

Meryl was born at Southside Hospital in Bayshore, Long Island, New York in 1962 and passed away peacefully, surrounded by her children and husband in Santa Barbara, California on the morning of August 11, 2018. Meryl was predeceased by her sister Stephanie and her two parents, Connie and Joseph. She is survived by her husband of 26 years, Marc, children, Jacob and Sophia, and her brothers, Mark (Irene), Mitchell (Victoria) and David (Elizabeth) and many nieces and nephews.

After growing up in Babylon, Long Island, Meryl struck out west and came to California at the age of eighteen. She worked in finance, banking and real estate development while simultaneously earning her degree in Business and Economics from Cal State Northridge.

After college, Meryl worked as a project manager for a development company and handled many projects, including Colorado Place in Santa Monica, Hotel Nikko in Beverly Hills, and Parc Telegraph in San Francisco. While sending a package at Fedex in 1990, Meryl met the love of her life, Marc. They were married two years later.

Meryl, Marc and family moved to Santa Barbara in 1996. Upon arrival Meryl immediately became involved in her new community.

She served as president of the Cold Spring School Board as well as president of the school Foundation.

She worked tirelessly as a parent volunteer in various capacities at both Crane and Cate Schools. She was involved in the Congregation B’nai Brith program to make and serve dinners for Transition House.

Meryl was an active member of the Knowlwood Tennis Club and played on the club team. She also worked with her husband, Marc, managing the design, renovation and construction of various residential properties in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and Monterey counties.

The devotion and love Meryl demonstrated to her family and friends is a testament to her legacy that love conquers all. Meryl always took time to listen and understand those around her, then give them the support they needed.

Whoever was a guest in her home felt that they were in a friendly place, a safe haven away from the bustling world beyond. To be in her presence was to enjoy a special place where you were always cared for and the center of attention.

[JR1] Through superhuman effort, she balanced her roles as daughter, wife, and mother with grace. While

INDEPENDENT.COM

she will be missed dearly by her family and friends, her memory will persist as a vibrant and vital force in all of us. She will continue to speak to us as we live on to fulfill her greatest wishes of love, health, hope, happiness and togetherness.

Meryl’s care was often difficult and complicated. We would like to thank Drs. Kass, Klempner, Kearney, the Visiting Nurses, and caretakers for their thoughtful and attentive care. The family also wants to thank Rabbis Naomi Levy and Steven Cohen, and Cantor Mark Childs for their spiritual guidance. Innumerable friends gave Meryl and her family great comfort and strength during the difficult period of her illness. We are forever grateful for this.

“If you do anything to honor my memory, it’s doing anything to help someone: listening to someone, making someone feel better, helping someone feel valued and loved for who they are.” - Meryl Anne Winnikoff In lieu of flowers, donations in Meryl’s name may be made to Direct Relief International, RidleyTree Cancer Center, or Transition House.

Stepchildren Jon Ross and Annette Waugh step grandchildren Taylor and Dillon Waugh and Maizie and Troy Ross. He also leaves two brothers and two sisters.

Ron practiced dentistry in Santa Barbara for 35 years taking an active part in the community in Goleta for many years. After retiring Ron and wife, Rebecca (Becky) Ross moved to Nipomo to enjoy many Years of travel in their motorhome, meeting lots of new friends.

No Hoops in Riverbeds

O

ur county could soon have thousands of plasticcovered hoop structures for growing cannabis (and other crops) in our riverbeds. Is that legal? Not right now, but it will be if the county approves a new ordinance.

But wait, could fertilizing crops grown in a riverbed affect water quality? Yup. If there is a heavy storm, could the plastic on the hoop houses rip off and go downstream? Yup. Won’t acres of 200-foot-long, 20-foot-tall plastic structures in the river affect habitat? Yup. Could it increase crime and illegal trespassing? Yup. Why would the county allow it? Hard to say what any individual decision maker is thinking, but pot farmers and others are lobbying to be allowed to grow in the riverbed.

Putting fertilizer where it will enter drinking water is nuts. Adding plastic and crime makes it more nuts.

Sometimes helping farmers is counter to the public’s needs. This is one such time.

10 Years of Beatitude

I

t’s been a journey of 10 years for the Catholic Church of the Beatitudes. Our small group, open to all, has chosen a path of compassion, peace, and justice to grow into the fullness of our spirituality. Service is our joy — finding places for homeless women where they can safely park overnight, donating food and clothing to local charities, supporting a physical therapist who works with disabled children in Vietnam. We go to Vandenberg to stand vigil for nuclear disarmament. We support the Poetic Justice Project, in which formerly incarcerated men and women write and perform their dramas.

Perhaps this is what the church of the future will look like — small groups who tithe time and talent to serve God’s people and live deeply with the divine.

We celebrate our anniversary on Saturday, September 8, 4:30 p.m., at First Congregational Church. All friends and supporters are invited to this joyous special Eucharist and the reception that follows.

Soldados Founded Our Town

T

he Pequeña show opening Old Spanish Days is just that—a show, not a mirror of the past. The men (soldados) traveled hundreds of miles to start new lives here under their country’s flag and brought their technology and way of life to the northern frontier.

These men and their families founded Santa Barbara.

DAVID FITZSIMMONS/ARIZONA DAILY STAR

Letters

They contributed financially from their meager pay to help the other side of the continent fight the Revolutionary War, the side whose descendants now enjoy Santa Barbara.

The director of Pequeña has the right to include or exclude participation. But elimination of its founding fathers for bigoted reasons is shameful. The Old Spanish Days board should leave out politics and give honor to its own founding fathers.

I am proud to have participated in Fiesta for the last four years. Pequeña should just be a joyous celebration.

Restoration Genius

T

he In Memoriam for Bob Lovejoy [independent .com/lovejoy] caught me by utter surprise. As retired CEO of the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation, I rate Bob as our number-one tenant during my 35-year tenure. He was great to work with, a true hero of the Presidio neighborhood.

In March 2007, the Trust purchased Jimmy’s Oriental Gardens, just before the Great Recession. The new tenant failed to pay his rent, was given notice, locked himself in the restaurant, and did severe interior damage.

Enter Bob Lovejoy. Leasing the restaurant area, Bob was faced with taking over a place that was in truly bad shape yet did an outstanding job rehabilitating it into Three Pickles.

When the Great Recession deepened, the Trust decided to rent the bar space to Bob, putting very restrictive controls over it. Bob, undaunted, re-created the bar as it was in the 1950s. He extended the bar to its original length, repaired the bar canopy, restored and reupholstered the booths and bar stools, purchased light fixtures like the originals, purchased artwork that had hung in the bar, and much more.

All told, he helped save the Trust financially, did a brilliant job restoring the bar, and was one of the finest people I have had the pleasure of knowing. I hope the current board of the Trust honors Bob posthumously with the George and Vivian Obern Preserva— Jarrell Jackman, S.B. tion Award.

obituaries Francis G. “Frankie” Sinowitz 03/08/45-08/08/18

Long-time Santa Barbara resident Frankie Sinowitz died peacefully on August 8 and left a wide range of friends and acquaintances with fond memories of his endearing uniqueness and impish charm. Many Santa Barbarans who attended Susan’s School as children recall Frankie as the unofficial greeter who monitored their daily arrivals and departures from his family home on Cota Street next door, Frankie was a lifetime observer of the parade of life which passed before him wherever he happened to be. He loved to travel and never failed to receive his preferred hotel room with a view of the parking lot. His parents, Hatsuyo and Frank preceded him in death and he has been under the care of CAPS of Santa Barbara for the past 25 years. Sincere thanks to Dr. Michael Bordofsky, the current and former staff of Alpha Resource Center and Hillside House, and the many, many friends who loved this special man.

A Celebration of Frankie’s Life will be held Friday, August 31 at 11:30 am at the Alpha Resource Center, 4501 Cathedral Oaks Road.

Christina Murphy Allison 1939-2018

Christina Murphy Allison died at Maravilla on August 22, 2018. Born in Brooklyn in 1939 and raised in Vancouver, B.C., she was a gifted soprano who trained in New York, claimed two Rockefeller grants, and sang with distinction with European opera companies for many years, including one memorable performance with Joan Sutherland. She came to Southern California in the mid-1970’s and, in 1980, married David N. Allison, whose mother’s family, the Knapps, had long been prominent in Santa Barbara. Soon the newlyweds moved to Montecito, from whence they traveled widely, especially for Christina’s performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the English-Speaking Union in New York. After her husband’s death in 2000, Christina continued to be active, especially with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Irish Historical

INDEPENDENT.COM

Society, where she served as a Board member, as well as writing, performing, and regularly sending letters to the editor of the Montecito Journal about matters that came to her attention. Her last months were not easy, but, at Maravilla, hours before she suddenly died, she was singing quietly, to the delight and enchantment of those who were caring for her.

She was much loved by all who knew her. There are no known immediate survivors. Private arrangements are pending.

Memorial contributions may be made to the American Irish Historical Society of Santa Barbara, 1114 State Street Suite 250, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 or the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, 1330 State St., Santa Barbara 93101.

Frank Gambetta 07/07/33-08/21/18

Frank Gambetta, 85, passed away Tuesday, August 21, 2018 unexpectedly at his home. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Jackie, son Mark (Kim), daughter Sharon (Mike) Brown, grandchildren Megan, Evan, Grace Gambetta, Paige and Abby Brown, brother Vern (Melissa).

Frank was born in Santa Barbara on July 7, 1933. He graduated from Santa Barbara Catholic High School in 1951.

He married his high school sweetheart on September 17, 1955 and three weeks later was drafted and served in the army for two years. He worked as the Director of Special Services for the County of Santa Barbara for 25 years. He then went on to be the managing vice president of the Santa Barbara office of Alexander & Alexander Inc. Spending time at Lake Nacimiento with his family and friends was a passion Frank passed on to his children and grandchildren. A life-long enthusiast for fast cars and boats, Frank was renowned for having the cleanest cars and boats around! He was an avid golfer who enjoyed his golfing buddies as much as the golf.

After Frank’s retirement, he and Jackie enjoyed many travels around the world.

In honor of Frank’s wishes there will be a private service for immediate family only.

Arrangements entrusted to McDermott Crockett Mortuary.

But from such toil comes edible beauty, whether that’s carefully crafted scones, artfully displayed ribbons of raw fish, or diligently spit-grilled scraps of pork served in steamy tortillas with pine pineapples on top.

T celebrate how that culinary alchemy enhances our lives, To the Santa Barbara Independen Independent launched the annual Foodie Awards in 2010. Since then, we’ve honored more than 100 restaurants, chefs, waiters, and purveyors. Gratefully, with even more exciting restaurants opening this year, Santa Barbara’s epicurean well shows no signs of drying up.

Congratulations ongratulations to this year’s winners.

ehind those mysterious kitchen doors, the real restaurestau rant world is a far cry from the glamorous scenes that dominate today’s shiny magazine spreads and pensive docuseries. Cooking on a busy line is hot, hustled, and even hair-raising at times, while making sure the dining room doesn’t explode into chaos requires more planning, poise, and patience than most can muster. Then there’s management and ownership, whose constant woes range from finding the next busboy in a strangled labor market to taking out yet another loan to repair that busted range.

‘THE IZZY’ LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

JEANNINE’S

REAL RANCHTO-TABLE AWARD Alison Hardey

After Montecito’s terrible trials by fire, mud, rock, and muck this winter, it ached for a place that could offer the calm of normal. Salvation came in the form of coffee, communion, and the certainty that only a 30-year-old business could bring, as Jeannine’s, the restaurant and bakery on Coast Village Road, became Montecito’s comfort clubhouse.

“We felt the call to give back when our town was most desperate for that community support,” said Alison Hardey, the chief operating officer of Jeannine’s.“We tried to provide small acts of kindness and generosity of spirit, one hot cup of coffee or scone or cookie at a time. We staged our kitchen outside on our patio and brought our food in from the other restaurants where we were not shut down. And even though we did not have water, we somehow knew, no matter what, our door had to be open. We had to be a beacon of hope.”

Of course, all of Jeannine’s locations are Izzy-worthy, as they’ve been delicious for decades, and there will soon be scone sightings in Goleta, too. (The award is named after La Super-Rica’s Isidoro Gonzalez, who received our first lifetime achievement Foodie in 2010.)

“Jeannine’s is about keeping the food fresh and simple and making people feel at home,” said Hardey. “We actually do not know what the mystery is, but we think our scones say something wholesome, something handmade, and we always try to make them each and every day, rain or shine. They, like Jeannine’s, are ‘count-on-able.’ ” 1253 Coast Village Rd. and multiple locations; jeannines.com

John Cox

THE BEAR AND STAR IN LOS OLIVOS

“The term ‘farm-to-table’ is the most exploited and deceptive marketing campaign of our generation” is the blunt claim of Chef John Cox from The Bear and Star.“It threatens not just consumers, but our entire food chain.”

Cox is the first to admit that The Bear and Star is a long way from being 100 percent sustainable in its sourcing, but the Los Olivos restaurant pushes that message deeper than anyone else, with much of the meat and produce coming straight from the home ranch of the Fess Parker family, which co-owns the restaurant inside of its Wine Country Inn. “By inviting guests to experience the ranch and farm and dine at the restaurant, we hope to raise the bar for what ‘farm-to-table’ really means,” said Cox. That translates to some of Santa Barbara County’s best meals right now, often with 20-plus ingredients from the 714-acre ranch that’s just seven miles away. There are 150 head of wagyu cattle (yep, American wagyu), 100 head of lamb, 100-plus chickens, 120 quail, 30 ducks, and a family of Mangalitsa pigs. And that’s just the animals — there are also a farm, orchard, two large greenhouses with aquaponics, an inland seaweed cultivation tank, a mushroom cave, and bee hives. On top of that, Cox is also bringing in stellar guest chefs (Josiah Citrin! Nancy Silverton!) regularly.

“Most of our recipes circle back to culinary tradition—a perfect deviled egg, a dry-aged wagyu steak roasted in a cast-iron pan, a few slices of heirloom tomato with house-made vinegar and sea salt,” said Cox. “Our goal isn’t to reinvent the wheel. If anything, it’s to better understand the wheel and make it the very best we can.”

Santa Barbara finally joined the contemporary food world: One of our tastiest restaurants operates out of a shipping container inside of a beer hall. That’s the Nook, located amid the Lama Dog Tap Room inside the Funk Zone’s Waterline complex. It’s the latest spot from Chef Norbert Schulz, who’s been cooking in town for 35 years.

“Before we opened the Nook, I spent eight months working through recipes, tasting, trial and error, and combining flavors that I thought would be unique and fun for our diners,” said Schulz. “I feel our menu offers items for every palate — vegan, vegetarian, etcetera. I am extremely happy and confident with all that we are able to offer.” So is everyone who dines there.

Schulz and his team — which includes longtime business partner Brigitte Guehr and daughter Alessia Guehr as manager— manager cook up everything from a duck foie gras burger (complemented with shallot and fig port wine marmalade, melted Manchego cheese, pear, and endive) to a Waterline seafood burger, whose salmon and shrimp patty is topped with avocado, grilled tomato relish, tarragon mayonnaise, and watercress. You’ll taste decades of fine-dining expertise distilled into these happily humble meals.

DYNAMIC DUO OF DINING AWARD

ELAINE AND ALBERTO MORELLO @ OLIO E LIMONE RISTORANTE Olio e Limone Ristorante opened in 1999; then came Olio Pizzeria in 2010 and Olio Crudo Bar in 2014. It’s as if the two-time Foodie Award winners Elaine and Alberto Morello have built their own public market on Victoria Street, all by themselves.

After working in Los Angeles and Orange County restaurants, the couple came to Santa Barbara, which Elaine knew well from her UCSB days.“We definitely planned to be in this for the long haul,” she said, crediting a focus on quality, consistency, and authenticity of their Italian cuisine as well as hospitable service for their staying power.“We know there’s always room for improvement and strive every day to make it the best we can. It’s still a daily labor of love.”

All three spots offer all sorts of brilliance, from what they make — thin-crust pizza, fresh pasta, creative carpaccio, and even their own olive oil from Alberto’s home region of Sicily — to what they source, including artisanal Italian craft beers and obscure ingredients for barrel-aged cocktails.

“Guests realize, and appreciate, that we have optimal ingredients,” Elaine explained.“Italian cuisine has been farm-to-table for centuries.” But it rarely offers this much variety with such wonderful service.

Yoichi and Mogi Kawabata

YOICHI’S

When Japanese restaurants open in the United States, the menu usually gets an American twist, like cream cheese in sushi rolls and spicy peppers on sashimi. The opposite is true at Yoichi’s, the humble house of kaiseki food on East Victoria Street where authentic Japanese cuisine is served in seven contemplative courses each night.

“Everyone wanted to know what real Japanese food is, so that’s why I did this,” explained Yoichi Kawabata, as his wife, Mogi Kawabata, translated from his whisper-soft Japanese. “I knew that if we introduced this traditional kaiseki food, people would like it. I have confidence in what I am doing.”

Yoichi learned how to make the clean, healthy, and seasonally dependent kaiseki cuisines in the temples of his native Yokohama and then cooked in Tokyo and San Francisco before coming to Santa Barbara. A typical evening will feature vegetables, meats, and, of course, raw fish prepared in myriad styles. “I want people to enjoy the different styles of cooking techniques from Japan,” he explained.

They’ve been embraced by Santa Barbara foodies, as well as many who now come from Los Angeles and the Bay Area to experience the meticulous meal.“If you let people try what Japanese people are eating,” said Mogi of the unique ingredients that find their way into the food, “they like it here too.”

11-Month CD Special STEPHANIE MUTZ,

SEA STEPHANIE FISH Bright orange, foamy in texture, tastes like seawater, technically a gonad — getting Americans to fall in love with sea urchin, or uni, should be an uphill battle, but Stephanie Mutz is converting the UNI masses with glee. The NewFOR ALL port Beach–raised, UCSBAWARD educated biology teacher shifted to urchin diving when she lost her teaching gig during the economic doldrums of 2008. She quickly became the poster child/megaphone for the Santa Barbara Channel’s world-class uni.

When she’s not being interviewed by magazines and television producers from around the globe, Mutz spends two to four days a week on Abre Ojos, the fishing vessel she shares with business partner Harry Liquornik. Instead of selling her catch to a larger processing company, Mutz sells directly to restaurants, including such Los Angeles hotspots as Providence, Maude, Vespertine, n/naka, and Guerrilla Tacos, as well as to Loquita, Convivo, Bluewater Grill, and elsewhere in Santa Barbara.

“My direct-to-consumer marketing gives me a lot more purpose and makes this more community oriented,” said Mutz.“That’s really important to me. I probably wouldn’t do it if I wasn’t selling direct and knowing that the product is not being wasted and that everything is being appreciated.”

FOODIES

When Convivo opened in the renovated Santa Barbara Inn near East Beach in the summer of 2016, the restaurant touted a menu of “Nomad Italian” food. Curious eaters quickly learned that meant a wide-ranging yet always delicious exploration of the entire Mediterranean Sea, as interpreted through the masterful mind of Chef Peter McNee. The concept “allows us to let the menu wander,” said McNee. “Italy has always been a melting pot, so we’re not confusing Italian food — we’re just exploring other cuisines within Italian cooking. We just want to have food that people enjoy, food Peter McNee that’s going to be in someone’s mind when they’re planning where to eat.”

He’s especially proud of his chicken, which is rubbed with harissa, roasted on a spit for 90 minutes, and then served with golden raisins, olives, almonds, and roasted cauliflower. “It’s the best chicken in town,” McNee claimed. But he also loves the “Agricole” part of his menu, which showcases vegetables, from charcoal avocado to beets and burrata to carrots agrodolce.

Raised in Minnesota, McNee worked primarily in the Bay Area, with a year stint in Italy, before he and his

Cooking

FIRED UP: Documentarian-turned-innovator Peck Euwer has spent the last five years developing the Rolls-Royce of outdoor gas grills, the Ferno Grill, which he designed and assembles in Goleta and is now selling direct to consumers.

PLATINUM YEARS: Samarkand senior living community recently recognized the anniversaries of several couples who have been married for 70 or more years.

Get Ready for Grill Envy

Celebrating

P

70+ Years of Marriage E

very June, “Wedding Month,” the Samarkand senior living community celebrates its residents’ anniversaries, typically recognizing 30, 40, and even 50 years of love and loyalty. This year, Samarkand recognized five couples who’ve been married for 70 or more years.

Bob and Betty Houk, Barbara and Tom Brashears, and Dolf and Margaret May have all been together 70 years. Mark and Jean Mathews are celebrating 72 years this month, and Al and Arlene Noreen, 73 years.

We asked the couples their secrets, what they did to get through the rough patches, and how their partners or relationships have changed over the decades. Here’s what three of the couples said.

challenges together, especially in the early years.

Getting Through Hard Times: Willingness to listen to one another. Support from parents and close friends.

Good health and good luck.

Changes: We’ve grown together and become more sensitive and open.

The Noreens

Our Secret: We did not try to change each other into what the other perceived as a perfect partner.

We built on the gifts or strengths of the other. Al is very appreciative of classical music. Arlene enjoys cooking, dance, painting, and gardening. We developed common interests and appreciation in these areas, which we could share. Al was the principal earner for the family, but provision was always made for The Brashears —The Noreens Arlene to have a separate Our Secret: Mutual beliefs bank account. This financial and shared value systems. independence was valuable Our willingness to talk and compromise. Loving each other and having faith in to marriage tranquility.

Changes: Al was a vigorous, disciplined participant God. Getting Through Hard Times: Lots of discussions and in many groups, often becoming a leader. Arlene, in early life, was shy and desirous of not competing in compromising.

Changes: Since retirement, Tom has had more time society. After a long marriage, Arlene is now more to invest in family relationships. Barbara is still the outgoing, more readily mixing in social gatherings.

Al has changed in that he is touching and endearing. same beautiful lady.

He is constantly looking to make sure Arlene is safe at crossroads and grade separations. We still rely on The Mays Our Secret: Similar family cultures. Similar interests and intimacy to keep our lives glowing with love. values. Flexibility in choosing separate interests. Facing —Tyler Hayden

‘We still rely on intimacy to keep our lives glowing with love.’

eck Euwer, a documentary filmmaker, shark attack survivor, and darn good cook, just spent the last five years developing the Rolls-Royce of outdoor gas grills. Sleek, tough, and full of innovation, Ferno Grills picks up where larger manufacturers long ago left off. “There’s been zero progress made in grill design over the last 50 years,” Euwer explained. “We wanted to change that.”

The Ferno’s niftiest component is a fire wheel that raises and lowers its burners for better heat and flame control. The simple but remarkably effective feature lets users slow cook meals and stops flare-ups from charring the whole spread. “It really changes everything,” said Euwer as he grilled us a lunch of chicken thighs, pasilla chiles, Peruvian beans, and corn on the cob.

Euwer’s team obsessed over every detail—a swing-out gas-tank holder, which makes loading in and hooking up a fresh tank exponentially easier; cast-iron grates that retain heat far better than the stainless steel used by competitors; and sturdy Mapletex counter space, which doubles as removable cutting boards. The two-sided grates feature a flat surface that can turn the grill into a pizza oven, and there’s a drop-in smoker box, rounding out the grill’s variety of cooking methods. Euwer especially stressed the slow-cook option, which fast and high-burning grills typically don’t allow. He’s used it to make pork shoulders, ribs, and an overnight brisket.

At $4,200, the grills aren’t cheap, Euwer admitted. “Even for people who can afford it, it’s a change of habit,” he said of those who’re used to spending a few hundred bucks on a new unit. “We’re really targeting cooks whose tools mean something to them, whether it’s their range, knives, pots, or pans,” he said. And whereas consumers often buy a new grill every few years, Ferno Grills are built to last. “It’s the grill you’ll will, we like to say.”

It’s been quite the journey to get Ferno where it is today, headquartered in an Old Town Goleta warehouse and — after countless prototypes, solved problems, and safety checks — now selling direct to consumers with lots of positive reviews already coming in. It wasn’t the most traditional career path, Euwer acknowledged, going from filmmaker to grill guru, but he’s got no regrets, and he’s thankful for the support. “My wife is a saint for letting me do this,” he said. “That’s for sure.”

OUTPOST AT THE GOODLAND’S NEW CHEF: They say

that all good things are worth waiting for, and in the case of Outpost’s search for a new executive chef, good things were already there.

Outpost at The Goodland (5650 Calle Real, Goleta) just appointed former executive sous chef Damien Giliberti as their executive chef.

“Working and living in Santa Barbara has allowed me to experience firsthand how food brings people together,” said Giliberti. “It feels good to be a part of a community like ours, and to connect with our guests through food.”

A native of northern New Jersey, where his family owned and lived next to their pizzeria, Giliberti draws inspiration from his ItalianAmerican upbringing. Giliberti worked in kitchens in North Carolina and Miami before coming to Finch & Fork in Santa Barbara, where he worked for four years. Two years ago, he joined Outpost, where he learned to blend contemporary and rustic American cuisine with Latin and Asian influences.

Giliberti’s debut menu includes caramelized sweet potato (with turmeric yogurt, crispy chickpeas, and garam masala), tuna crudo (with yuzu dressing, diced Fuji apples, avocado purée, radish, and chili oil), lamb burger (with date chutney, harissa yogurt, pickled red onion, and watercress), pan-seared Skuna Bay salmon (with romanesco purée, roasted heirloom carrots, sautéed sugar snap peas, and chipotle hollandaise), and grilled strip loin (with crispy red potatoes, charred Mexican green onions, and chimichurri).

Lomeli received a phone call that La Bodeguita, his Mexican carnicería of 25 years, had caught fire. The butcher shop, on the 500 block of East Haley Street in downtown Santa Barbara, suffered severe smoke and fire damage. While the building itself was spared, all of the equipment, machinery, and perishable goods needed to run the business were lost.

While the building is covered by insurance, the contents were not, and losses are estimated at nearly $50,000. To get the shop back up and running, the Lomeli family is asking for help in raising this amount to buy new equipment (refrigerators, meat grinders, slicers, and scales) as well as produce.

“My father is a hardworking man who built his business from the ground up and is extremely passionate towards what he does,” said Adam Lomeli. “He is a selfless, thoughtful, caring, and compassionate man who always puts others before him.”

Lomeli works closely with such Santa Barbara favorites as Lito’s, Mayo’s, Rose Café, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, and many others, providing cuts of meat, food, and other supplies. His many charitable causes include donations to church groups, soccer teams, and schools.

“My father has always been a giver,” said Adam.

“We hope that in our time of need, some of the generosity he has shown the community will come back to our family.”

cofounder Greg Koch— Koch he’s like if Steve Jobs and George Carlin had a baby who opened the brewery that put San Diego on the beer map. Fewer may be familiar with the other cofounder, Steve Wagner. He’s always been more like Wilson, the neighbor from the 1990s sitcom Home Improvement, who was ever-sagacious and avuncular though faceless. ment But when Koch stepped back from his frontman role in 2015, Wagner started elbow-rubbing, which is how he found himself at The Garden inside Santa Barbara Public Market for a tap takeover last Thursday, August 23.

Among the 17 beers, seven were IPAs, but five were aged in barrels, including three that once housed wine. That brings us to the most Central Coast of Stone offerings, available at The Garden for a limited time: the Stone Mission Warehouse Sour – Sauvignon Blanc.

Though Stone usually avoids wild, funky bacteria in their brewing, they opened a warehouse down Mission Road from their Escondido-based brewery for barrel-aged experimentation. The Mission Warehouse Sour line debuted earlier this year with this sauvignon blanc from the Central Coast, which is blended with two variants of Stone’s Cali-Belgique, an IPA fermented with a Belgian yeast strain: One was aged in red wine barrels and the other in larger foudres.

The end result is lightly funky and musty, with a punch bowl’s worth of juice flavors from grapes to strawberries to kumquats, all while blanketed with a dank, hoppy finish. Since bottles of these beers are only being sold out of Stone’s retail outlets, this is likely the only chance to get a taste here in Santa Barbara.

YOU’VE GOT MAIL THE UNEXPECTED CORRESPONDENCE OF MARK RAYMOND COLLINS

L I F E

M

ark Raymond Collins, whose prolific output covers nearly every foot of available space on the walls at The Arts Fund through Friday, September 7, can’t quite accept the standard descriptive term “works” when it comes to describing the thousands of colorful and witty pieces of mail he has sent to friends over the past decade.

“I’ve never thought of what I do as work,” he said with a laugh as he answered questions about his practice at a recent artist’s talk. The idea for the show, the full title of which is postMARKed: Selections from a Vast Amount of Mail, came from Hugh Margerum, the artist and curator to whom the bulk of Collins’s extraordinary oeuvre has been addressed.

After carefully saving the hundreds of unique handmade cards and letters from Collins that have arrived in his mailbox daily for years, Margerum felt it was time to let the public know what was happening through the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) right here in Montecito and Santa Barbara. Almost every day, either at breakfast time or in the early evening, Collins sits at his kitchen table and makes something new. Whether it’s a fanciful abstract drawing on a piece of tracing paper—his current favorite medium—or a small collage on a 5″ x 7″ piece of light foam board, each creation bears the evidence of a questing mind equally at home with nuances of typography, different shades of ink, and scatological jokes, many of them referencing current events.

The pieces also all bear postMARKed shows through at least one canceled stamp.

Friday, September 7, at The Although, as is evident from Arts Fund (205-C Santa Barbara St.). Call the glorious range of the mate965-7321 or see artsfundsb.org. rials on view, Collins never does exactly the same thing twice, everything that he makes must nevertheless submit to a single, unalterable constraint: It has to go through the mail. Without exception, his pieces are only truly complete when they show up in someone’s mailbox courtesy of the good people at USPS. Although Margerum’s Collins collection dominates the show by its size, there’s room in this private postal network for other artists.

Along with Margerum, Michael Kienzle and the late Keith Puccinelli

were also moved by receiving something from Collins to respond with mail art of their own, and as a result, all three are also represented here, as creators as well as recipients.

All of the objects are for sale for the same low price of $20, and they have been selling at a brisk pace. As a result of the sheer quantity of different things on view, it’s hard to make firm generalizations about the project as a whole, other than that it is clearly a lot of fun, not only for those involved, but for anyone who visits The Arts Fund or picks up the show’s beautifully crafted catalog, which is available online at blurb.com/b/8843890-postmarked. Some of it is elegant, some of it is sophomoric, and some of it somehow manages to be both. The sensibility hovers around that of the great underground comix artists who used shock tactics to express real emotion, but it never alights in any one place long enough to weigh anchor, choosing instead to float freely in a warm bath of friendship.

Perhaps the most relevant context is that provided by the mail itself and the simple act of retrieving one’s daily postal load, whether alone or in company. As anyone familiar with Puccinelli’s art will know and relish, there’s a world of pleasure in easy reach of those willing to choose radical honesty through humorous self-deprecation.

There’s also plenty of room for wordplay Established in 1965, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) exists, as its title suggests, to and parody. Wooden Scrabble tiles spell out “WOODIE” on a card sent to Kienzle, while support public humanities programs in the areas of research, education, and preservation. Earlier this Margerum once received a glittering handmonth, the NEH announced it has awarded $43.1 million to 218 projects throughout the county, and UCSB was one of the recipients. The university received a $326,593 matching grant for “renovation of a made tourist postcard exclaiming “Vulva, university property to house the museum’s collections as well as a research and study center,” which falls Las Vegas!” Try texting that with an emoji.

UCSB GETS NEH GRANT

While the Santa Barbara library is a delightful, quiet place in which to find books on just about any subject, it is also a community cultural hub offering programs that range from lectures to discussion groups to children’s events. This coming week, for example, the downtown library (40 E. Anapamu St.) has wildly different, equally enticing events on its calendar: an evening of music, book club nights, and a film screening.

On Tuesday, September 4, 7 p.m., the band Wild Animals will take over the main level. The Madrid, Spain–based trio of Jamie Green (guitar, vocals), Paula Sánchez-Lafuents (drums, vocals), and Fon Álvarez (bass) has been described as playing “loud, fast, powerful riffs with thoughtful arrangements and contrasts in tempo to ultimately breathe new life into the quintessential rock sounds.” Joining Wild Animals will be Santa Barbara’s Goldy, with its indie surf rock, and pop-rock group David à la Mode.

For the printed-word inclined, join one of the library’s book clubs. The Crime Book Club meets on Wednesday, September 5, to talk about the current month’s featured book, Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear. Or if the past is more to your liking, the History Book Club meets Thursday, August 30, 10:30 a.m., to discuss Evicted by Matthew Desmond.

The library offers six clubs in all: Theater, Social Justice, BYO Book, Fiction, History, and Crime. For meeting times and book selections, see tinyurl.com/ SBPLBookClubs.

If a good movie is what you seek, pop over to the Faulkner Gallery on Friday, August 31, 1-3 p.m., for the delightfully funny film Book Club, starring Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Mary Steenburgen, and Candice Bergen.

To find out more about the myriad programs offered by the Santa Barbara Public Library, see sbplibrary.org.

O Support the Girls

(91 mins., R)

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

COUPLES

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 “women’s work” of a certain type. True to the title, the balm of sisterly support in a retrofitted man’s world serves as the story’s moving undercurrent and maxim. (JW) Riviera

Searching Ya Veremos (85 mins., PG-13) Young Santi’s (Emiliano Aramayo) parents, who are separated, must find a way to get along when it’s discovered that their son must undergo surgery to restore his failing eyesight. Mauricio Ochmann and Fernanda Castillo also star.

A.X.L. (100 mins., PG) An experimental, top-secret, robotic dog built for the military ends up escaping to the desert, where a young man named Miles (Alex Neustaedter) finds him and befriends him. A.X.L and Miles become besties and must fight to stay out of the scientists’ clutches.

Fiesta 5

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-untilexplosive 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) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

MARRIAGE

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) 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.

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 original 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

than 2,350 times in 90 countries. His free rides have carried him more than 100,000 miles. He has kept detailed records, so he’s able to say with confidence that Iraq is the best place to catch a lift. Average wait time there is seven minutes. Jordan and Romania are good, too, with 9- and 12-minute waits, respectively. In telling you about his success, I don’t mean to suggest that now is a favorable time to hitchhike. But I do want you to know that the coming weeks will be prime time to solicit favors, garner gifts, and make yourself available for metaphorical equivalents of free rides. You’re extra magnetic and attractive. How could anyone resist providing you with the blessings you need and deserve?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One of the big stories of 2018 concerns

your effort to escape from a star-crossed trick of fate — to fix a long-running tweak that has subtly undermined your lust for life. How successful will you be in this heroic quest? That will hinge in part on your faith in the new power you’ve been developing. Another factor that will determine the outcome is your ability to identify and gain access to a resource that is virtually magical even though it appears nondescript. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because I suspect that a key plot twist in this story will soon unfold.

I’m worried you may be a bit over- ending may initially make you feel melancholy, but I whelmed, that you might not exercise sufficient dis- bet it will ultimately prove beneficent — and maybe crimination.

Is it tolerable? Is it interesting? object. (3) Say this 10 times:“The end makes the beginning possible.”

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): While a young man, the future Roman

leader Julius Caesar was kidnapped by Sicilian pirates.

They proposed a ransom of 620 kilograms of silver.

Caesar was incensed at the small size of the ransom — he believed he was worth more — and demanded that his captors raise the sum to 1,550 kilograms. I’d love to see you unleash that kind of bravado in the coming weeks, Leo — preferably without getting yourself kidnapped. In my opinion, it’s crucial that you know how valuable you are, and make sure everyone else knows as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran

loved the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. “Without Bach, God would be a complete second-rate figure,” he testified, adding, “Bach’s music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded as a complete failure.” I invite you to emulate Cioran’s passionate clarity, Virgo. From an astrological perspective, now is an excellent time to identify people and things that consistently invigorate your excitement about your destiny. Maybe you have just one shining exemplar, like Cioran, or maybe you have more. Home in on the phenomena that in your mind embody the glory of creation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If a man treats a life artistically, his

brain is his heart,” wrote Oscar Wilde. I’ll translate that into a more complete version: “If a person of any gender treats life artistically, their brain is their heart.” This truth will be especially applicable for you in the coming weeks. You’ll be wise to treat your life artistically. You’ll thrive by using your heart as your brain. So I advise you to wield your intelligence with love. Understand that your most incisive insights will come when you’re feeling empathy and seeking intimacy. As you crystallize clear visions about the future, make sure they are generously suffused with ideas about how you and your people can enhance your joie de vivre.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “My tastes are simple,” testified Sagittarian politician Winston Churchill. “I am easily satisfied with the best.” I propose that we make that your motto for now. While it may not be a sound idea to demand only the finest of everything all the time, I think it will be wise for you to do so during the next three weeks. You will have a mandate to resist trifles and insist on excellence. Luckily, this should motivate you to raise your own standards and expect the very best from yourself.

articulated a principle he felt was essential to telling a good story: If you say early in your tale that there’s a rifle hanging on the wall, that rifle must eventually be used.“If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there,” declared Chekhov. We might wish that real life unfolded with such clear dramatic purpose. To have our future so well foreshadowed would make it easier to plan our actions. But that’s not often the case. Many elements pop up in our personal stories that ultimately serve no purpose. Except now, that is, for you Capricorns. I suspect that in the next six weeks, plot twists will be telegraphed in advance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Would it be fun to roast marshmal-

lows on long sticks over scorching volcanic vents? I suppose. Would it be safe? No! Aside from the possibility that you could get burned, the sulfuric acid in the vapors would make the cooked marshmallows taste terrible, and might cause them to explode. So I advise you to refrain from adventures like that. On the other hand, I will love it if you cultivate a playful spirit as you contemplate serious decisions. I’m in favor of you keeping a blithe attitude as you navigate your way through tricky maneuvers. I hope you’ll be jaunty in the midst of rumbling commotions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): People will be thinking about you

more than usual, and with greater intensity. Allies and acquaintances will be revising their opinions and understandings about you, mostly in favorable ways, although not always. Loved ones and not-so-loved ones will also be reworking their images of you, coming to altered conclusions about what you mean to them and what your purpose is. Given these developments, I suggest that you be proactive about expressing your best intentions and displaying your finest attributes.

LEGALS ADMINISTER OF ESTATE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: TERI S. OELSCHLAGER NO: 18PR00324 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of TERI S. OELSCHLAGER A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: COURTNEY DESOTO in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that (name): COURTNEY DESOTO be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 09/27/2018 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division.

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

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

Bids must be prepared on the approved bid forms in conformance with the “Bidding Instructions” and the General Provisions and submitted in a sealed envelope plainly marked on the outside, “SEALED BID FOR CROSSWALK AT SOUTH KELLOGG AVENUE. DO NOT OPEN WITH REGULAR MAIL.” The bid must be accompanied by cash or cashier’s check, certified cashier’s check, or bidder’s bond executed by an admitted surety, made payable to CITY. The bid security shall be an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the total maximum amount bid with their proposals as required by California law.

A contract may only be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder that holds a valid Class “A” Contractor’s license or specialty licensing in accordance with the provisions of the California Business and Professions Code.

Failure to provide proof of the contractor’s current registration pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code may result in rejection of the bid as non-responsive. Failure to comply with enforcement provisions pursuant to Section 1771.4 of the Labor Code may result in a determination that the bidder is not responsible.

The Contractor Company, including the Responsible Managing Officer (RMO) for the Contractor Company, shall demonstrate a minimum of three (3) years’ experience successfully performing projects of substantially similar type, magnitude, and character of the work bid. The CITY reserves the right to reject all bids, reject any bid that is not responsive to the invitation, or to waive any minor irregularity and to take all bids under advisement for a period of up to ninety (90) days.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22300, the successful bidder may substitute certain securities for funds withheld by CITY to ensure performance under the Contract or, in the alternative, request the CITY to make payment of retention to an escrow agent.

Any protest may be considered and acted on by the City Council at the time noticed for award of the contract.
