I design and touch up the ads you see in the paper, and I get to create new art all the time. It’s absolutely awesome! I’m still pretty new, but I’m learning so much every day.

What’s something about the Independent our readers might not realize? I don’t think the average reader has an idea of just how few people make up the Indy. They may see a 100-page issue that was created in a week and assume we have a huge team, but it really is just a tight group of great people doing what they’re passionate about for the community they love.

NEWS BRIEFS PUBLIC SAFETY The United States Postal Service unveiled a commemorative “Honoring First Responders” Forever postage stamp at a ceremony last Friday along with a special recognition of the efforts of publicsafety heroes during the Thomas Fire and 1/9 Debris Flow. In attendance were regional fire chiefs, members of the Santa Barbara Bucket Brigade, and Montecito resident Oprah Winfrey, who thanked first responders for “listening for that cry, for a cough or a moan, or just a breath of hope” amid the debris.

Michael W. Dyer, who served as Santa Barbara County’s fire chief from 2009 through 2014, will step up as the county’s interim fire chief beginning November 5 after current chief Eric Peterson retires.

Dyer has often acted as a consultant for the county since his own retirement. Recruitment to fill Peterson’s shoes will be national, and the county expects to name his successor early next year.

The Cabrillo Ball Park (pictured) has reopened after an extensive $1.5 million renovation project. The park received upgrades to its popular softball field and now features exercise equipment, multiuse grass turf areas, improved drainage, and a highefficiency irrigation system fed by recycled water.

Access to the park was also improved, including a new walking path circling the field, redesigned spectator areas, and an entry plaza with a “bent” palm tree. The grand reopening was celebrated on 9/10 with a public ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara (HACSB) will provide new incentives to landlords willing to accept Section 8 residents. The incentives are being offered as the HACSB reopens Section 8 applications for the first time in four years.

Applicants have complained that not enough landlords accept Section 8 vouchers, which assist lowincome families, elderly people, and people with disabilities in finding affordable housing. HACSB will hold a luncheon on 9/26 at the Grace Village Apartments to discuss the new program.

T

he City of Santa Barbara’s Latino population has shrunk by a remarkable 24 percent in the last six years, according to new census data from the annual American Community Survey. The number of Latino residents dropped by 9,308 — from 38,780 in 2011 to 29,422 in 2017 — while the city’s white population increased by 9,870. “In other terms, over the course of those six years, it’s four Latinos, or essentially one whole family, moving out of the city every single day,” said Lucas Zucker with CAUSE, the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy. “It’s really, really shocking.”

The figures prove what neighborhood organizers have been saying all along, explained Zucker — that Latinos are increasingly being displaced from Santa Barbara to cities like Lompoc, Santa Maria, and Ventura. “Certainly this [data] reflects the feeling that neighborhoods like the Eastside and Westside are being gentrified,” he said, and it ascribes statistics to the anecdotes of Latino families being evicted from places like the Ivy and Voluntario apartment complexes. The census figures also reveal that

the number of commuters has increased by 7,672 since 2011. Median rents jumped from $1,413 to $1,751. Merchants that serve predominantly Latino clientele — such as the El Potrillo Western Wear shop on Milpas Street — are reporting sagging sales, and other business owners are considering uprooting.

Santa Barbara is a clear outlier in this trend of a declining Latino community.

All across the Central Coast and throughout most of California’s cities, Latinos are increasing in number. To slow the exodus, regional activists have repeatedly suggested, the city needs to adopt a package of basic tenant protections, including a just-cause eviction ordinance, and tweak its highdensity building program to include more affordable workforce housing. Both issues were raised in earnest more than two years ago, but city leaders have made little progress in addressing them. “People are getting really tired of the council not taking action,” Zucker said. “Santa Barbara is in real danger of losing its cultural heritage and what —Tyler Hayden makes it so special.”

Priest’s Firing Raises Questions

The overnight parking ban of oversized vehicles has been extended from 10 p.m.-6 a.m. to 9 p.m.-7 a.m. by the Board of Supervisors, who unanimously approved the recommendation at their Tuesday meeting. The extended hours will help officers enforce the parking ban, officials said. A vehicle is classified as oversized if it is more than 8 feet wide, 7 feet tall, or 24 feet in length. Current areas with oversized restrictions are Isla Vista, Vandenberg Village, Butterfly Beach, and Camino del Remedio.

Santa Barbara’s bus company took a stance against Proposition 6 on 9/6, concerned that its passage will eliminate money the Metropolitan Transit District (MTD) needs from the state. MTD relies on state funds for $1.3 million in capital and operating expenses and additional funding from programs to buy new buses and from the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program for facility improvements and maintenance. Prop. 6 seeks to repeal Senate Bill 1, which has provided billions in “gas tax” money throughout the state for road and transit repairs and improvements.

sidewalks “an unavoidable consequence of homelessness.”

The City Council had recently extended an ordinance against sitting and lying on sidewalks to the first two blocks of East Haley Street, where people congregate on the sidewalks near Mac’s Grog N Groc. In the meantime, the Santa Barbara City Council and county supervisors have declared that the region is experiencing a “shelter crisis,” a necessary step to qualify for a share of the $500 million Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP), intended to fund shelters, housing, and rental vouchers, as well as mental-health and addiction treatment. A census of people experiencing homelessness showed that Santa Barbara County is entitled to as much as $9.4 million of HEAP funds, as there are roughly two homeless people for every shelter bed available. In the City of Santa Barbara, 363 of the 790 homeless people tabulated are not sheltered.

anta Barbara city cops, according to Police Chief Lori Luhnow, will temporarily cease enforcing no-sleeping sections of public ordinances in response to a recent Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that found such laws constituted cruel and unusual punishment if there were not sufficient shelter beds available. Assistant City Attorney John Doimas said police issue very few public sleeping citations, but City Hall will check its shelter bed inventory to determine if there is a bed gap.

The Ninth Circuit ruling would also apply when shelters limit the number of consecutive nights guests can stay or require attendance at religious services or instruction.“As long as there is no option of sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize indigent homeless people for sleeping outdoors, on public property, on the false premise they had a choice in the matter,” wrote Justice Marsha Berzon.

DON’T BE FOOLED: “Anyone who says they know is just guessing,” said UCSB geologist Ed Keller.

1/9 Repeat? ‘Nobody Knows!’

W

ith a bombastic speaking style that belied the essential ambivalence of his message, UCSB geologist Ed Keller was clear about one thing Monday night: No one knows whether heavy winter rains will bring another debris flow crashing down on Montecito. “The truth is, folks, we don’t know,” declared Keller at a community forum hosted by the Urban Creeks Council at Montecito Union School. Debris flows capable of propelling boulders 30 miles per hour and elevating the mud line by as much as 20 feet are rare occurrences. Yes, there are still plenty of rocks, boulders, and fine soil perched atop the hills, he acknowledged, but, he asked, “Is it enough?” Anyone who says they know, he warned,“is just guessing.”

Although Keller is a dyed-in-the-wool academic, his question was anything but.

A group of prominent Montecitans is proposing to buttress the upper reaches of Montecito’s downslope creek channels with giant steel nets, as is done on Catalina Island and at Camarillo Springs. With El Niño storms predicted, they argue the steel netting makes sense as a temporary

emergency measure. They hope to have it installed by December. Keller said such netting “might” make sense, but Natasha Lohmus, a biologist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, described it as “gill nets for mammals.” Lohmus noted that the five creeks that empty into Montecito are all designated as habitat for the federally endangered steelhead trout.

Likewise, she argued, creek beds provide crucial cover for smaller animals, and riparian environments are crucial for birds.

County Flood Control czar Tom Fayram, also on the panel, said the steel nets would not interfere with any of the county’s debris basins, but otherwise reserved his outrage for issues of debris disposal. The federal government spent more than $100 million hauling rocks and sediments deposited during the debris flow of January 9 to Buellton and Fillmore, Fayram exclaimed, rather than dumping it in the ocean.

Fayram warned that the practice was neither economically nor environmentally sustainable and needed serious rethinking.

SBCC cont’d from p. 9

part in writing it—and sent to Beebe and the Board of Trustees on September 5. They condemned the administration’s lack of support and communication, and they voiced bewilderment it possessed little awareness of the many faculty- and student-initiated Title IX complaints that had been lodged with state authorities.

One of the complaints, the letter states, involved a male faculty member “engaging in sexual misconduct in plain view of students, staff, and faculty.” The economics professor, a close ally of McIntire’s, was observed by multiple people on multiple occasions viewing hardcore pornography on his office computer. When this was reported to former executive vice president Paul Jarrell, he responded SBCC didn’t have “any policy to prevent this,” but he was hopeful the school could find a legal way to stop the professor “other than us simply telling him not to,” perhaps with a “hostile work environment” complaint to the school’s human resources department. Human Resources, however, declined to take any action until a Title IX grievance was filed, the letter states. The professor was permitted to retire with full benefits soon after.

“The faculty involved in the abovedescribed events are suffering,” the letter reads. “They feel discriminated against, gaslighted, alienated, and disposable to the institution.” SBCC’s reputation as a school sensitive to gender-equity issues has been jeopardized, the letter goes on to say, and it will continue to suffer poor PR as long as the administration stays silent, which “in a time of declining enrollment when we are trying to court members of the community and high school students” is “particularly dangerous.” The science faculty demanded that the administration issue an apology, become more transparent, and take reports of harassment and sexual misconduct more seriously.

In his September 12 mea culpa, Beebe committed to greater openness from his administration. He vowed to hire a full-

time Title IX officer and make the number and status of all the college’s Title IX claims and investigations publicly available online.

(SBCC did not respond to a request from the Independent this week for information on pending and recently closed Title IX cases.)

Beebe also suggested the creation of a President’s Action Committee on Gender Equity, and he said $20,000 in funding would be given to the Academic Senate to develop best practices in balancing “academic integrity, free speech, academic freedom, and civility.”

With respect to the last six months, Beebe acknowledged the frustration and anger that roiled the campus. “Although attempting to give thoughtful consideration before making every decision, I recognize that some actions could be perceived as insensitive, uncaring, or simply wrong,” he said. “I will admit there were instances over the last several months where we could have moved faster as an institution. … I apologize for this. Period. No excuse.” Beebe said he hopes the college will move forward together “with some positive and significant actions.”

For her part, Napoleon was unmoved by the apology, calling it “a disingenuous attempt from Dr. Beebe to be the leader and superintendent-president that we need and have needed for some time.” She found it striking that as soon as Beebe received the science department letter, he forwarded it to SBCC’s Board of Trustees and complained, “None of this makes any sense … ” “What doesn’t make sense,” Napoleon rebutted, “is that he would offer that sentiment after countless emails, meetings, and pleas from so many faculty members to address the resentment that was festering on campus.”

Napoleon is considering resigning her tenured teaching position, because at the end of the day, she said, McIntire “was allowed to harass me, and anyone associated with me, for months.” That’s unacceptable, she said, and “it’s just too bad his bad behavior got rewarded with such a payout.” n

dle.” In Santa Barbara, the “missing middle” includes people making 80-120 percent the Area Median Income (AMI). For a couple, that translates to anywhere from $64,000 to $76,000 a year. Under the new state law, missing-middle rents could not be more than 30 percent the tenants’ income.

In the two years since, our liberal, progressive, Democratic councilmembers have kicked this can down the road so many times their toes are bruised and bloody.

First, they created an ad hoc committee that chewed the idea to death — at 11 public hearings. City Hall hired an economic consultant to determine if such requirements “penciled out” economically or whether they’d kill new rental developments with unsustainable costs. The consultant found developers could make an acceptable profit even if 10 percent of their new units were rented at missingmiddle rates. It got the Good Housekeeping Seal of approval.

In February, the council—made up ostensibly of fire-breathing affordable-housing advocates—voted to delay further consideration until some indeterminate future date. The Planning Commission, they decided, should weigh in first. Now it’s late September. As of right now, there’s no date set for the Planning Commission to opine.

Before that can happen, I am informed, various and sundry public meetings and workshops must be held. For the record, such hearings are neither required nor customary.

AIN’T TOO PROUD TO BEG: It was a mind-

boggling moment. It couldn’t be happening.

Yet it was. Deborah Schwartz, a Santa Barbara city planning commissioner for the last eight and a half years, was begging—begging—developer Greg Reitz not to include so many amenities for his proposed downtown rental housing development. If Reitz could find it in his heart not to make his new units quite so nice, Schwartz pleaded from the dais, maybe he wouldn’t feel compelled to demand such high rents from his new tenants. Maybe that way, Schwartz reasoned, the new units wouldn’t be quite so unaffordable for most working Santa Barbarans.

It’s come to this?

Begging and pleading from the dais as public policy?

The short answer is yes.

The longer answer is worse. The only reason Schwartz and the other commissioners find themselves in this embarrassing predicament is because the City Council has repeatedly delayed adopting new rules that would allow City Hall—if not Schwartz herself—to require Reitz to charge less-than-premium rents to a handful of tenants in the middleincome category. Two years ago, the State Legislature passed, and the governor signed, a new law giving cities and counties just this power. It authorized local governments to require that 10-15 percent of new rental units be at rates affordable to “the missing mid-

If one were suspicious, one might wonder what’s really going on.

Let’s go back to Greg Reitz and his development for a moment. The reality is even worse than it looks. Reitz is proposing to build 52 new rental units under the experimental and controversial Average Unit-Size Density (AUD) housing program invented by City Hall in 2013 to spark the development of what we were promised would be “affordable by design” housing. To date, we’ve gotten far more rental units than anyone imagined: 89 units have been built, another 383 approved, and 263 more proposed.

The bad news is that very little appears to be remotely affordable. That’s because the AUD program was designed for couples making up to $127,000 a year — not those struggling in the missing middle.

The first AUD to be built — by Reitz, it turns out — has tons of amenities, such as herb gardens and numerous fire pits, to engender the creation of accidental communities. It also has rents as high as $3,500 for two-bedroom apartments. Had inclusionary requirements existed then, the city could have required Reitz to set aside nine apartments for rents affordable to tenants in the missing middle. For a two-bedroom apartment, that would have been $1,770.

Had such inclusionary requirements been imposed since the program’s inception, we could have as many as 96 missing-middle rentals either on the ground or on the drawing boards.

By adopting a requirement now, the council can tweak the AUD program to benefit a

broader spectrum of the community. After all, the so-called missing middle accounts for 28 percent of the city’s population. These are people who make too much to qualify for any subsidies but are priced out of the market.

Yes, developers will squawk. Reitz has stated such a requirement would kill his project. If I were in his shoes, I’d say the same. But I’m not. Neither is the council.

The council needs to push.

The AUD program needs to be seen for what it is: strategic bribery. With it, City Hall “bribes” developers to create “affordable” rental units by allowing them to build at unheard-of densities and by waiving all but the most minimal of parking requirements. Those are both major concessions.

This being Santa Barbara, there will be — and has been — painful neighborhood backlash about the increased densities. Same with the lack of parking. To get the buy-in necessary for the AUD to survive politically, the council has to “bribe” the community into putting up with these very real inconveniences. The only bribe that matters is truly affordable housing. Right now, it’s all quid with very little quo.

I’m not sure what the council’s waiting for.

Some councilmembers, I am told, believe by adding a few units of higher-end housing, rents will somehow come down. Such magical thinking might make sense on another planet, but here on Earth — where Deborah Schwartz finds herself begging from the Planning Commission dais — it doesn’t cut the mustard.

DiFi’s #MeToo Moment

F

our days before sending the FBI a confidential and anonymous #MeToo letter that has roiled the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein said in an interview that his confirmation was not a done deal.

“We’re not finished,” the California Democrat told the Independent in a 30-minute sit-down at the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara on September 9, following a talk to Democratic women.

“Staff will be going through all of the transcripts, picking up things, underlining things; messages will be coming in; information will be given to the committee,” she added, in advance of a “markup” at this week’s meeting of the Judiciary Committee, on which she is the ranking Democrat. “Always is.”

Whether or not Feinstein, in mentioning new information and “messages coming in,” was referencing, consciously or unconsciously, the startling, then-secret letter from Bay Area professor Christine Blasey Ford that charges Kavanaugh with a high school sexual assault, the sudden furor over the allegations demonstrates that she was correct in assessing that Donald Trump’s Supreme Court appointment is not a fait accompli.

“From the outset, I have believed these allegations were extremely serious and bear heavily on Judge Kavanaugh,” Feinstein said in a statement this Sunday, September 16, shortly after Ford herself made her charge public.

The statement also made clear why she kept Ford’s letter confidential for weeks, answering attacks across the political spectrum: her feminist belief that the choice to tell the story was Ford’s—not her own.

THE MYSTERIOUS LETTER: As majority Sen-

ate Republicans rushed to push through Trump’s nomination in time for the court session that begins October 1, Ford sent a letter to Feinstein on July 31, alleging that as a prep-school student, a drunken Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed at a party, molested her, and muffled her screams. She asked that the letter be kept confidential.

Despite the lurid details in her description, Ford said she wanted to keep the story private, fearing that she would be battered in a political brawl and he would be confirmed anyway.

Feinstein reportedly told no one about the letter, except for a few aides, until September 12, when The Intercept news site reported the existence of the letter and said Feinstein refused to share it with Democratic colleagues.

That day Feinstein sent it to the FBI, and she was promptly assailed on all sides: Republicans accused her of a cheap last-minute smear, and Democrats protested her secrecy, while Beltway pundits ripped her, and reelection foe State Senator Kevin de León condemned her “lack of leadership.”

On Sunday, September 16, Ford went public for the first time in an interview with the Washington Post: “I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” she said of Kavanaugh, who “categorically and unequivocally” denies the incident. “He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.”

THE YEAR OF THE WOMAN: It’s worth noting

that Feinstein was first elected in 1992, the “Year of the Woman” election following Anita Hill’s sexual harassment allegations during the historic Clarence Thomas Senate hearings.

In her Sunday statement, she explained the ethics of her decision not to surface Ford’s story herself: “It has always been Mrs. Ford’s decision whether to come forward publicly,” she said. “For any woman, sharing an experience involving sexual assault — particularly when it involves a politically connected man with influence, authority and power — is extraordinarily difficult.”

FEINSTEIN SPEAKS: In the Independent interview

before the Ford story broke, the senator discussed Kavanaugh and other political issues, as she: … pushed back against de León’s argument that she is too moderate to represent California in the Trump era, along with criticism that she apologized, instead of standing up for, anti-Kavanaugh protesters during the Judiciary Committee hearing: “You don’t do that in the Senate—you don’t turn it into a roughhouse.” … refused to answer whether Trump should be impeached, in contrast to de León, who has stated that impeachment should be pursued, even with Democrats in the congressional minority. It’s for a future day; I’ll leave it at that,” she said, arguing that the Constitution is strong enough to withstand Trump: “Absolutely.” … criticized Kavanaugh for evading questions probing his views on executive power and whether or not a president is exempt from criminal prosecution: “He wasn’t going to step away from the president in any of his answers.”

A transcript of the Independent interview is posted online.

he new ordinance recently passed by the Santa Barbara City Council prohibiting smoking in public areas is a fantastic idea. If only it were of any use. The gloves need to come off. Perhaps the City Council could hire staff to patrol the streets? I would 1,000 percent stand behind my tax dollars paying for this type of enforcement. I know others feel the same.

I confronted a smoker, peacefully, of course, to ask them to have some respect. A guy came up to me and said, “I was wondering what that horrible smell was. It was really bothering me.” “Good,” I said. “Go over there and tell him how much you don’t appreciate it!”

Each and every one of us has the ability to tell smokers that their disgusting, toxic habit isn’t welcome. The next time you see someone smoking away with no regard for anyone else around them, let them know that they are putting everyone else at risk. Take a stand.

was delighted to read about the recent Common Table dinner event on State Street. How was it publicized? I would certainly have attended had I known.

—Susan Shields, S.B.

Metropolitan Theatre Corporation might have a few shortfalls to answer for, which is disappointing, as I had enjoyed working there while in college.

Patronizing my first theater in Los Angeles required I choose my seats. No lines. No surprises.

No showing up to find a sold-out sign. No sitting within three feet of a 50-foot screen. I found myself able to order my popcorn and beverage from my cell phone, no line, no fee. The auditorium had black leather recliners and an auditorium attendant to find your assigned seat, tablet in hand in case you wanted any additional refreshments delivered.

At first I thought this was an anomaly; I must just have found the best theater. Reality spilled over, though, and I soon came to realize all theaters are like this now.

It hurt so much to go back to Santa Barbara and find the same experience I had when I was in college, 10 years ago. No reserved seats. No mobile food ordering. No luxury recliners.

It didn’t bother me until I saw Metropolitan Theatre Corporation’s recent press release. The company is building an ultra-high-end luxury movie theater in Orange County. I had always given MTC the benefit of the doubt: It’s a small family company; that must be why Santa Barbara theaters are in the state they are. This press release indirectly says, “We have the money and the resources to offer Santa Barbara a premium moviegoing experience, but we have a monopoly so why spend the money.”

The gist of my rant is to make sure you know what your $12 ticket should afford you. If you’ve never been to Cinemark or AMC, next time you’re in Ventura, Lompoc, or Santa Maria, just check it out.

I’ve heard that AMC wants to build 14 screens and an IMAX near my alma mater. Maybe some competition will show Santa Barbara what moviegoing is supposed to be like in 2018.

t’s heartbreaking to share, but someone shot and killed our beautiful 2-year-old black-and-white cat, Ollie, around 4 p.m. on August 31. He was shot with an air pellet gun in the north Mesa neighborhood of Bel Air Knolls, most likely between Bel Air and Crestline. The proof was in the X-rays that our shocked veterinarian showed us.

We have alerted shelters and authorities, and we want to warn other neighbors with cats. We thought we lived where it’s safe but apparently not.

There is no excuse. It is terribly wrong to harm animals and any living being. Who could have committed such a heartless, tragic act?

any unique and special places that enriched the character and atmosphere of Santa Barbara are no longer here. A priceless natural beauty, the hillside below McKinley school, was once covered with eucalyptus trees full of butterflies, birds, and squirrels, with a winding path to the top with breathtaking views of the ocean along the way.

Below the hill had been a playground, unmanicured, like the original Shoreline Park. The children loved it. They played baseball, flew kites, and just ran around and had fun.

All gave way to development. A few years later, while driving by, I reflected on how it used to be. My companion asked, why are you so sad? Those are beautiful condominiums!

Santa Barbara has to have the political will to preserve what is valuable environmentally, architecturally, and historically. Thank goodness for Sue and Jim Higman and the Douglas family, who created a preserve at the Wilcox property the people will forever be able to enjoy!

Volunteers provide companionship, caregiver relief, and a loving presence for people at home, in facilities, or in Serenity House.

here is a small, quiet place near the Mission where oak trees grow, birds fly by, a small creek flows. It has been there forever! We call it Rocky Nook Park.

Whenever I can, I walk there in the morning. The occasional owl hoots as if greeting the dawn. This is a gem, a place where one can be with nature, sit on a bench, wander the trails. Children arrive, adding sounds of laughter, and spend a few hours exploring, learning what trees, grasses, birds, lizards are all about.

It is a place of healing, something all of us need — the moments of silence, a leaf slowly falling to the ground, autumn acorns dropping to the earth.

Soon to be 87 years old, I feel the history in such a place. The rocks and boulders — if only we had the ears to hear their stories! But I feel the long, full story in my bones.

Rocky Nook Park has been nominated a County Historic Landmark. It will be voted on by the Landmarks Commission in the coming months.

Who can deny the need to save, protect, and honor such a place?

Franklin A. Biber 1927-2018

Frank was born September 24, 1927 on his brother Bill's sixth birthday. Bill was hoping for a bike, not a baby brother. His parents, Francis and Louise, raised the boys in Brookfield, Illinois.

Frank joined the Coast Guard and served for two years as a weatherman stationed at Argentia, Newfoundland, cruising the North Sea. Upon discharge, he married the former Maxine Klemp. He returned to school, getting a degree in accounting and pursuing that career his entire working life. Frank enjoyed woodworking throughout his life and could repair and build most anything. He finally pulled the plug on his hobby at the age of 88. Frank was also a great baker and was well known for his chocolate mayonnaise cake and famous cupcakes. He was always trying out new things gleaned from his Czechoslovakian mother's recipe file, not always successful! He and Maxine had four children: Brian (deceased) and wife Judy; Craig and wife Linda; Candace and husband Chuck Menzel; and Cheryl and husband Tom Hansen. He also leaves ten grandchildren, Jennifer, Craig, Jr., Melissa, Molly, Shelly, Cristie, Scott, Shannon, Andrew, Ryan and sixteen great grandchildren.

Also, his four step children, Jeff Gordon, Jan Ellsworth, Judy Bergerson and Joni Milchak.

While employed at Infrared Industries in Chicago, the company moved operations to Carpinteria in 1962. Frank and his family transferred with the company to Santa Barbara. He was later employed by Motel 6, Cottage Hospital and ended his career at the Santa Barbara YMCA as CFO, retiring after fifteen years in 1993. Frank was a member of the Elks and Kiwanis.

Maxine and Frank travelled the world extensively prior to her passing in 2001, after 54 years of marriage. Frank then married the former Pat Gordon in 2003.

Together they enjoyed traveling with the Elks Caravaneer's in their RV and later touring the world mainly on river cruises throughout Europe and on large cruise ships. During the past

years, Frank and Pat spent many weeks in Alaska where his stepdaughter, Jan, lives. He enjoyed salmon fishing and cruising Big Lake on the pontoon boat and relaxing at the cabin. They drove to Alaska several times in their RV and in the infamous red Cadillac.

Frank passed away peacefully at Serenity House on September 6, 2018. A memorial wild be held at a later date.

Ida Mae Perreault 08/13/26-08/31/18

Ida Mae Perreault went to Heaven on August 31, 2018 at the age of 92 years. She was born in Santa Barbara and enjoyed living here all of her life. In 1944, she married a marine, Clifford J Perreault Sr., and together they raised four children on the Mesa.

Ida Mae loved her family, friends, and church and was loved by all in return. After raising her children, she worked for 27 years making salads and many new, young friends at La Cumbre Jr. High and San Marcos High School. She was also a member of the Altar Society at Holy Cross Church for many years. In recent years, she enjoyed baking. She never missed an opportunity to bake for friends and family. She will always be remembered for her beautiful, delicious cakes.

Ida was preceded in death by her parents, Isabel and William De la Torre, her husband, Cliff, and her son-in-law, Terry Higgins. She is survived by her four children: Michelle Smith (Richard), Francine Higgins, Clifford Perreault Jr, and Joseph Perreault, by her ten grandchildren: Jeremiah Higgins, Jennifer Higgins, Jamie Higgins, Sarah (Smith) Mantsch, Ryan Perreault, Jonathan Smith, Patrick Perreault, Hannah (Smith) Street, Matthew Perreault, and Tessa Perreault, and by her three great-grandchildren: Ella Higgins, Jacob Mantsch, and Olivia Mantsch.

There will be a Celebration of Life Mass, with reception following, on Saturday, September 22, at 11:30 am at Holy Cross Church, 1740 Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara.

COVER STORY

Anahi Mendoza is executive director of the Santa Barbara County Immigrant Legal Defense Center, which was recently formed to help the 43,000 undocumented immigrants residing in the county.

NO PLACE LIKE HOME

A

nahi Mendoza left her Santa Barbara County home seven years ago to begin her college career at Harvard University. As an 18-year-old undocumented young woman who had lived in this country since she was 4, Mendoza had always had her eyes set on going to college. Finally, her dream was becoming a reality. Since then, her journey has taken her beyond Massachusetts to Sacramento, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. But today, Mendoza has come home.

She returned to apply to law school but found herself accepting a job as the executive director of a brand-new organization in Santa Barbara County, the Immigrant Legal Defense Center (ILDC), formed to help the 43,000 undocumented immigrants residing in the county, especially those facing threat of deportation.

The center, the first of its kind in Santa Barbara County, will focus on helping people who have been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and are being held in federal

detention centers. It will provide all county residents eligble for bond with an attorney to represent them at their bond hearings and will then help them find legal counsel to defend them in their upcoming court hearings. Judging by the long list of applications already piling up on Mendoza’s desk, the ILDC is answering a serious need in the county.

Coming Home Today, Mendoza is the one-woman band behind the organization. As the sole paid employee, she is managing everything from attorney trainings to fundraising. Just last week, the ILDC successfully represented its first client, Felipe Lopez (whose name has been changed), who was able to be freed on bond.

Lopez’s case is a familiar one. In June, he was arrested on misdemeanor charges and taken to county jail. After a struggle, his family was able to post his bail. Just as he was about to be allowed to leave, ICE

agents arrested him on federal charges of being in this country illegally and transported him to the Adelanto Detention Facility near Victorville. This scenario is not new. It’s not even particularly tied to President Donald Trump’s current campaign against undocumented people. ICE has been in operation in the United States since 2003.

Around that same time, Lopez came to the United States without proper documentation and made Santa Barbara his home. He lives with his wife, his three school-aged daughters, and his ill mother and works in construction. His family depends on him financially and emotionally. The three months he has been at the detention center have been devastating for them.

When the Adelanto Immigration Court, with ILDC’s assistance, granted Lopez a $5,000 bond, his family, once again with the help of their community, was able to raise the money, but that is just the beginning of his legal battle. Now, Mendoza and her team of volunteers must find Lopez the legal help he needs as his case winds its way through the immigration courts, which typically takes a year or two. But in the meantime, Lopez can return home.

Mendoza herself knows all too well the hardship of having a family member detained. “Everyone in my family has a similar status, so it’s not too strange,” she said about her own status. Like Lopez’s youngest daughter, who canceled her elementary school graduation party, Mendoza too was not in a celebratory spirit when her favorite uncle was picked up by ICE just days before her First Communion when she was 9 years old. Her family home was just around the corner from where

Fleeing Home Mendoza has worked within the U.S. immigration system in many parts of the country since she left college, learning its processes, its rules, and its flaws. In New York, she had a fellowship with the Immigrant Justice Corps, which represents people applying for citizenship, and she earned an immigration law accreditation through the U.S. Department of Justice. Eventually her fellowship allowed her to work with asylum seekers in Texas.

The South Texas Family Residential Center houses up to 2,400 women and children.

There, she worked through CARA Pro Bono Project to help women prepare for their credible-fear interviews, during which immigration agents determine whether a person has a credible reason to fear returning to their country of origin. Mendoza talked with more than 20 women a day, often listening to stories about beheadings, family murders, and domestic violence. One story stuck with Mendoza.

A Salvadoran woman seeking asylum with her three young children did not pass her credible-fear interview. Mendoza requested the decision be reviewed by a judge, but she feared that her client did not have a strong enough claim.

While waiting for the hearing, the woman and her children were transferred to a long-term detention center in Pennsylvania that holds 90 families. Mendoza visited the center to work on the appeal and described the conditions there as “very bad.” The woman’s children had become visibly depressed. The 4-year-old was scared of the guards because she thought that since they carried guns, they must be gangsters. And when her 5-year-old brother saw Mendoza, he said accusingly, “You forgot about us. You don’t care.”

Eventually the family was sent back to Texas, where Mendoza pressed her client to speak more fully:“I knew

In El Salvador, the woman operated a small store from her home where gang members frequently came to take free snacks. On their last visit, three gang members demanded the women take them to her bedroom. They took turns raping her.

Mendoza requested another interview for her client, but it was denied.

“That’s the issue with expedited proceedings,” said Mendoza.“You don’t give people a moment to explain or process.” The woman and her children were deported. There was nothing more Mendoza could do legally. The 5-yearold boy did all he could, too. “I told them I’m not leaving,” he shared with Mendoza. “I kicked them.”

Mendoza and her team were able to get the family into a Salvadoran safe house via the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, but after a couple of months, the woman gave up on getting back to the U.S. She was safe, but she and her children were in the middle of nowhere. Her children needed schooling and freedom. “She couldn’t live like that anymore,” said Mendoza.

PLAN YOUR

Holiday Party WITH US!

Fighting for the Home Front Mendoza now works to get people out of detention centers to be with their loved ones as they fight within the legal system to stay in the country that has become their home.

The ILDC was born out of an immigrant-serving coalition organized

by The Fund for Santa Barbara. It recognized an increase in the number of immigrants being placed in removal proceedings since the toughening stance of the Trump administration. The coalition is made up of six organizations: Immigrant Hope of Santa Barbara, Importa, the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), the Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County, Mixteco/Indígena Community Organizing Project, and Future Leaders of America. Though these groups already offer the immigrant community a variety of services, none perform the work of the ILDC. The ILDC serves Santa Barbara County residents being held in four of the closest federal facilities: Adelanto, Theo Lacy, or James A. Musick detention centers or the Victorville Federal Correctional Complex. Though the ILDC does not yet have the funding to provide further legal services, the services it does provide are critical. Aside from avoiding the notoriously poor conditions of detention centers, detainees out on bond can also build stronger cases and increases their likelihood of avoiding deportation.

Immigrants facing removal offenses that want to be represented by an attorney must pay out of pocket—an almost impossible task for those

Mendoza organized an interpreter training for volunteers who are fluent in English and Spanish or Mixteco to act as court translators during bond hearings.

detainees who are their family’s primary wage earner. Unlike criminal hearings, defendants in immigration proceedings do not have the right to an attorney if they cannot afford one.

In Adelanto alone, more than 73,000 detainees have gone through the facility since its opening in 2011. Of those, only 13-14 percent have received representation before a judge, according to Mendoza. Prior to the ILDC, Santa Barbara County offered no such service to its immigrant residents.

The center currently has 40 volunteer attorneys and law students, 25 of whom have already gone through a training process, and it is looking for more interpreters, social workers, and mental-health specialists. Soon, the center will begin placing in the county jail and detention centers posters informing inmates and detainees about their rights and listing the ILDC’s contact information. Critics of such services have complained about the center providing inmates and detainees with this legal help. But Mendoza reminds them,“We’re not in the business of defending criminals,” she said.

“We’re in the business of ensuring due process.”

Mendoza grew up in Isla Vista when it was more of a neighborhood, before UCSB students came to dominate the area. After her parents moved, the family’s apartment was turned into student housing. But before then, Mendoza attended Isla Vista Elementary, and she praises her teachers there for their support. “I remember my 1st-grade teacher, Ms. George, telling me, ‘You’re really smart,’ ” Mendoza’s 1st-grade school picture from said Mendoza.“I held onto Isla Vista Elementary that.”

Her 5th-grade teacher, Ms. Zimmerman, also had a big impact. The two share a birthday, June 5, and once Mendoza and Ms. Zimmerman

in 2007 on a leather factory that made belts and backpacks for the U.S. military. Agents arrested 362 workers, most of whom were deported to Guatemala.

During her years at Harvard, she was able to intern with Senator Dianne Feinstein, and in 2013, she worked with Alliance for Citizenship on a comprehensive immigration bill. It passed the Senate, but the Republican-controlled House rejected the bill.

After President Barack Obama signed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, commonly known as DACA, into law via an executive order on June 15, 2012, Mendoza was able to be honored as a Champion for Change Award recipient at a White House ceremony in 2014. “It was so ironic,” said Mendoza. Prior to DACA, COURTESY

celebrated it together with a few other teachers. “We watched Harry Potter and went to Chili’s,” she remembered. But when Ms. Zimmerman picked her up at home,“she must’ve seen how terrible it was,” said Mendoza, because her teacher suggested the family apply for Habitat for Humanity, a program that helps low-income families build homes.

Mendoza attended an information session with her mother but quickly learned recipients of the program had to be U.S. citizens or legal residents. Mendoza and her mother left the meeting early. “We were ashamed,” said Mendoza about their status.

Mendoza graduated to Goleta Valley Junior High School and continued excelling in school. The Isla Vista Youth Project and Isla Vista Teen Center became places of mentorship for her and her older sister. They offered homework help and held girls’ nights where “we would paint our nails, but talk about important things,” said Mendoza.“That’s where I learned about college.”

Before Mendoza started high school, her family moved to Santa Maria, but she and her sister refused to attend Santa Maria High School.

They had heard rumors about gangs and fighting, and Mendoza’s older sister, a senior, wanted to graduate from Dos Pueblos. Her parents agreed to let them continue there, though they had to commute every morning on the Clean Air Express, about an hour and 15 minutes each way.

After her sister graduated from Dos Pueblos High School, Mendoza decided to transfer to Santa Maria High School and was happily surprised. “It wasn’t what everyone talked about,” said Mendoza. “I really enjoyed the fact that the students were all Latinos.” She had often been the only Latina in her advanced courses at Dos Pueblos.

Though Mendoza’s sister had been accepted to both her dream schools, Cal Poly and UC Berkeley, she would have had to pay full tuition because of her undocumented status, so she attended Allan Hancock College instead.

Fearful that she wouldn’t be able to afford college herself, Mendoza put everything into doing well at school.

“I needed to get good grades so I could get scholarships,” she remembered thinking. Mendoza graduated as valedictorian in 2011 and was accepted to all the schools where she applied. Her dream school was UC Berkeley because of its activist campus, and she received early acceptance, with a chance to apply for the Chancellor’s Scholarship that provides students with a full ride. But she learned that even if she got it on merit, she would not be able to accept because of her undocumented status. “This was before the DREAM Act,” she said.

Luckily, Mendoza was accepted to Harvard. She had read an article about an undocumented student who had been accepted to Harvard with all expenses covered because it was a private university. At Harvard, Mendoza was able to focus on the immigration system and on those who experience it. She concentrated in social studies, an interdisciplinary major that involved government, sociology, and economics, and wrote her senior thesis on the New Bedford, Massachusetts, raid

Her DACA status had protected her from deportation and allowed her to accept internships where she was able to work closely with ICE. However, over the last year, Mendoza has been in limbo along with 690,000 other beneficiaries since the Trump administration rescinded the program. Now everyone must wait as the DACA case works its way up to the Supreme Court.

“We’ve been undocumented so long,” Mendoza said.

“Personally, I know what it’s like to not have DACA.” She was accepted to and attended Harvard prior to DACA.“It takes a lot of resilience, but nothing’s impossible. … We need to come together to support our kids and make them believe in themselves.” Often, the most important work is done right at home, in Santa Barbara.

Mendoza acknowledges the monumental role her community had in her resilience. “The biggest difference was made by my parents, teachers, mentors,” she said. “[My parents] were really nervous for me sometimes,” said Mendoza about working in detention centers and alongside ICE.“I think it’s funny and ironic,” she said, “but they are proud. They are really proud.” n

VOYAGERS: In 1889, members of the Santa Barbara Natural History Society chartered Ezekiel Elliott’s sloop Brisk for a 10-day cruise to Anacapa Island. The party included photographer Isaac Newton Cook (long beard), naturalist Lorenzo Yates (third from right), and artist Henry Chapman Ford (center, sitting in a chair).

ANACAPA ISLAND in Pictures Marla Daily Discusses Her New Photographic History of the Smallest Channel Island

SQUAD GOALS: Cameron Benson (center, with striped board shorts) stands among supporters.

O

ften seen as just a speck on the horizon, as if the Channel Islands archipelago suddenly ran out of gas, Anacapa Island looms much larger in history than its spiny frame suggests. The Santa Cruz Island Foundation’s Marla Daily dove into the isle’s colorful past to produce the latest photographic history book for Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America series. She answered a few of our questions recently.

PADDLE for CAMERON

E

BIG BOYS: Black sea bass are the largest species of fish that live among the Anacapa Island kelp forests. These gentle giants can grow up to seven feet long and weigh 800 lbs.

How is so much history packed into this tiny island? I was amazed to learn of the variety of economic opportunities people pursued historically at Anacapa. There were three mini gold rushes by hopeful miners (1850s, 1870, 1890s), sealers camped on Anacapa’s islets, Chinese established abalone picking camps in available pocket coves, crawfishermen set and tended their lobster traps from camps, and transient pleasure seekers and campers set their sights on Anacapa Island as a destination. In addition, a series of more permanent squatters built houses and used Anacapa Island to raise sheep. All on an island with no fresh water! Who would have thought?

You know almost everything about the Channel Islands already, but did you discover anything new about Anacapa?

I learned that 57 people have died there since 1870: most from drownings, a few from natural causes, several from cliff falls, one from suicide, and one from accidentally driving a bulldozer off the mesa of East Anacapa Island. In addition, the island has seen its share of shipwrecks, at least 27 of them, beginning with the Winfield Scott in 1853.

Which Anacapa anecdote is most memorable to you? I like the comment about “Old Swede” Charley Johnson, a fisherman who lived in a shack at West Anacapa from 1934 to 1938: “He never failed to take a bath on his birthday (October 12), Columbus Day, Christmas, and certain other occasions,” said Meryl Carr

Allen. And after his last trip to town in 1938, a fellow fisherman dropped him off on Anacapa Island. Said Allen, “Charley climbed the path to his island home, went in, closed the door, lay down on his bed, and died — just like he said he wanted to do.”

Which are your favorite photos, and why? The cover photo, taken from an 1889 expedition out of Santa Barbara, because of the noted participants: artist Henry Chapman Ford, naturalist Lorenzo Yates, and early photographer Isaac Newton Cook. Together these local luminaries explored and documented what they found on Anacapa Island; The interior of Yates Cave on the bottom of page 34: It is amazing to me that such a large group of pleasure seekers, both men and women, joined an outing to explore Anacapa in 1890. It speaks to the value of 19th-century outdoor entertainment; The top of page 55: Access to the mesa on East Anacapa Island was no easy feat for those who installed the 1912 light and later built the lighthouse and Coast Guard buildings; And the lower part of page 123: This photo of black sea bass speaks for itself — absolutely amazing! It garners such a visceral respect for these gentle giants of the deep whose nursery is at Anacapa Island.

ver wanted to make a scene at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club?

Well, this Sunday afternoon is your chance.

That’s when prone and stand-up paddlers will be finishing their day-long trek across the Santa Barbara Channel, landing on the shore where the breakwater starts and where food, drink, and music will await. Selfies will be taken with salty, exhausted loved ones. Tall tales will be told. And oh yeah, people’s lives will be changed forever.

This is The Friendship Paddle. It started in 2003, with friends looking for a way to support Doug McFadden as he fought an inoperable brain tumor. They found it in the shared experience of braving the channel on paddleboards. Mutual fears gave way to unified hope and celebration, and funds were raised for McFadden and his family as he far outlived his doctors’ predictions. The process is repeated each year with a new recipient.

This time it’s all about Cameron Benson. Many of you know Benson personally, but all of us benefit from his decades of environmental work. A former executive director for the Environmental Defense Center, he has been the city’s top creeks manager since 2007. He met his wife, Lisa, when they were both working at Piati in Montecito, and they now have two teenage kids, Josh and Ella.

Benson’s rollercoaster health issues started with a December 2016 diagnosis of a rare and aggressive form of neuroendocrine cancer.

Chemotherapy sledgehammered it out of his body by May 2017, but in October, the signs of cancer had returned. With chemo no longer a viable option, Benson was allowed to partake in a drug trial at UCLA, and his cancer is thankfully back in remission. Needless to say, the journey hasn’t been easy or cheap. All money raised by the paddle goes directly to Benson and his family, no strings attached.

On Saturday, September 22, some 30 boats will ferry 200 people to Santa Rosa Island, where we’ll be rocked to sleep on boat decks under the stars. In the morning, we’ll paddle into a circle for a starting ceremony, with Benson leading the way. Another circle will reconvene at the halfway point, one more chance for silence and cheers before returning to the beaches of 93101.

The continued advancement of medical technology is staggering and gives new promise every day, but sometimes it’s the love, support, and hope from family and friends that you need the most. For a full history of the The Friendship Paddle, and to make a donation, visit friendshippaddle.org.

SHRIMP ON BARBIE: Skewers of flavor are now being served at Goleta Beach.

The Beachside’s Shrimp Fest Is Back

eeping chefs in one place is a tricky

business, and it’s even harder when the employer is a trendy hotelier like Kimpton, which offers steady career advancement opportunities paired with frequent chances to move to bigger, buzzier cities. And while The Goodland hotel and its Outpost restaurant may be the hippest spot in Goleta, Santa Barbara’s suburban sister doesn’t exactly offer the kind of flashy nightlife and bright media lights of places such as Seattle, Denver, and Amsterdam, where three Outpost alum now find themselves.

But Damien Giliberti, who was named the restaurant’s executive chef earlier this year, seems poised to stay, as he’s rather enthused about his first chance to run a kitchen. Raised in New Jersey, where his family owned and lived adjacent to their pizzeria, Giliberti got his culinary degree from Johnson & Wales in Miami and entered the Kimpton fold there eight years ago.

He came to Santa Barbara six years ago, working first

A recent visit to Outpost with two of my friends showcased why, as each of the dishes that Giliberti presented fit the al fresco space and late summer season well. Among the popular fried brussels sprouts, pork belly bao buns (an original Outpost classic), mussels in red curry sauce (which is a complete meal in itself), and pork chop with diced apples, Giliberti put his special stamp on the tuna crudo (whose underlying heat is offset by a cooling avocado purée) and the pan-seared Skuna Bay salmon, which sits atop a vibrantly colored

lassic seaside soul is soaked into the walls of the Beachside Bar-Café, which has been staring down the tides on the shore of Goleta Beach since the spring of 1985.

Like countless casual eateries that cling to the California coast from San Diego to Santa Cruz, the Beachside serves familiar food at fair prices in an unpretentious atmosphere where floral prints and flip-flops reign. You needn’t go fancy or fusion or trend hunting when surrounded by sand, sea breezes, and shoreline scenes, it seems.

The Beachside’s owner Dave Hardy started riding this wave 33 years ago, and for the past 30 autumns, the former Gaucho football player, who once owned Jasper’s on Calle Real, has offered his patrons one of the best dining deals anywhere: Shrimp Fest. The meal deal started up again last week and will run through the end of fall.

“In the early days, it was by coupon only as a contest for the staff,” explained Beachside office manager Peggy Hardy, who is also Dave’s wife. “They would put their name on the back of the coupon cards and pass them out to friends, families, and local businesses. The coupons would be collected, and the staff member who had the most coupons redeemed won a prize and bragging rights for the year.” In recent years, Shrimp Fest was simplified into a daily special for lunch and dinner, no coupon required, though many still call the restaurant to inquire whether they need a special ticket to claim their crustaceans.

Today’s version, which costs $12.95, features two grilled skewers of five shrimp each designed by Chef Carlos Ramirez, who’s been with the restaurant for 21 years. “What makes the shrimp so tasty is the lemon butter and the smokiness of the grill,” said Ramirez, whose succulent shellfish — which would measure about two inches if unfurled — are interspersed with sweet red onion and colorful bell peppers. They come alongside a rice pilaf (with vermicelli, green onions, and buttery, Rice-A-Roni-like flavors), as well as another side, such as coleslaw, fruit salad, a side salad, or fries.

Altogether, it’s just the right amount of food, leaving the stomach stretched but not uncomfortable. Those seeking a bit more indulgence could start with an appetizer—such as the smoky, grilled artichoke with tarragon mayo—or a seafood bar option, like ceviche with mango coleslaw or oysters Rockefeller.

And for cocktail lovers, the Beachside just started a Build Your Own Mule program, in which ginger beer is mixed with a variety of boozes, flavorings, and garnishes of your choice. Not a bad pairing if you don’t go for the M.Special or Island beer on tap.

Said Dave Hardy, “It is a way of showing appreciation to the locals and saying thanks for supporting us year-round.”

nyone who’s been to Puebla in the fall must long for the flavors of the famous dish Chiles en Nogada. After having what some call Mexico’s national dish for lunch at Los Agaves, I’m already wondering if it’s too soon to go back for seconds. Created in honor of Agustín de Iturbide, who signed the Treaty of Córdoba in 1821 to formally liberate the country from Spain and was riding through Puebla on his way back to the capital, it is traditionally served during the month of Mexico’s independence (declared on September 16, 1810). Like Puebla’s equally famous mole, the intricate dish was conceived by nuns, some say the Augustinians, others the Discalced (Barefoot) Carmelites. Chiles en Nogada is a complex and delicious work of kitchen mastery.

Presented in a cool blanket of crema—Mexican cream and goat cheese with the delicately sweet flavor of amaretto and a pleasingly nutty bite — a perfectly roasted, warm chile poblano is filled with a savory helping of pork, beef, piñon, peaches, and about 36 other ingredients. The amazingly complicated execution of texture and flavor rivals the pride and patriotism in the dish and its colors of the Mexican flag.

The version at the Agaves restaurants was developed by executive chef Ricardo Garcia, said chief operating officer Mike Casas, who mused that the sweet and mild spiciness reflected the bittersweet nature of the culture. (Iturbide, a military commander who was a national hero, to some, became emperor but got the boot after about a year, Casas reflected.)

Los Agaves and Santo Mezcal, which opened last year at 119 State Street, will be serving up Chiles en Nogada as long as the pomegranates stay sweet. And, in case you’re wondering, Cinco de Mayo, which Yanquis believe is Mexican independence day, actually marks the victory of Mexico’s army over superior French forces in the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

We did not, however, opt for A Big Hunk of Love, in which peanut butter, banana liqueur, bourbon, honey, and bacon somehow unite in liquid form. It sounded too daunting. Instead, Giliberti brought out a cheesecake with white chocolate glaze and savory caramel ice cream, which we studiously devoured.

Giliberti is proudly working Caramelized Sweet Potato to cultivate that “California social dining experience” of sharing the food, talking about the ingredients, and really connecting around a table. “Yes, the food is the star,” said Giliberti, “but it’s really about enjoying the people you’re with, that camaraderie.” Any chef who keeps that on the menu is bound for a great future, whether in Goleta or Gotham.

and we are very lucky to have access to vibrant and unique grapes like our sauvignon blanc. It really can blur the lines and help introduce a whole new audience into beer, [people] who might not consider themselves a beer drinker just yet.

Tell me about the beer you brewed for this project.

Savoir Faire is our beer. If you’re in the know, you know. It’s a unique beer fermented in clay amphora with the base wort for the project, and whole-bunch Martinborough sauvignon blanc.

No yeast was added — it is a completely wild fermentation from native N.Z. yeast and bacteria from the grapes. Toward the end of the ferment, the grapes and wort were pressed in a small basket press and transferred to old sauvignon blanc barrels and aged for 18 months. The result is refreshing, tart, tropical, with gooseberry and cut-grass flavours.

takes a lot of good beer to make great wine, and as such, we have a great relationship with many wineries. We are always up for swapping a little beer

MIKE LOVE’S

BEACH BOYS

Few groups in the history of music can match The Beach Boys, not only in worldwide popularity but in creative impact. The early singles that first brought them to national attention blended widely differing instrumental influences and then drenched the result in gorgeous, complex vocal group harmonies. When I spoke recently with Mike Love, one of the founding Beach Boys and the leader of the group that will play the Granada on Friday, September 21, he remembered where it started: a bunch of California kids singing in a car “coming home from youth night at the church.”

While it’s the teenage, surfing-era Beach Boys that stuck in the popular imagination, critical consensus regards the baroque psychedelic pop of Pet Sounds as the group’s finest and most influential achievement. The band’s exploitation of the recording studio on that record launched thousands of ambitious efforts to use multitracking, unconventional instrumentation, and subtly haunting arrangements to propel popular music beyond previous generic boundaries. Despite the burden of being portrayed ad nauseam as the guy who resisted Brian Wilson’s increasingly arcane musical dreams, Mike Love is still proud of his role in that experimental phase.

While no Wilsons will be onstage at the Granada show, there’s no question that Love and fellow longtime band member Bruce Johnston are doing the most authentic live representation of the full range of The Beach Boys’ music that has been presented in this century. Their command of the band’s early hits is impeccable — years of playing “Surfin’ Safari” and “California Girls” have etched the pop and fizz of these deliciously carbonated confections in their collective muscle memory. Don’t underestimate their interest in and ability to re-create the later material, songs such as “Darlin’” and “Wild Honey,” which drummer John Cowsill sings.

Love describes his tireless touring as a reflection of being “obsessed with re-creating The Beach Boys’ music as well as possible live.” On 150 nights or more a year, The Beach Boys of today come out united in harmony — not as an abstract metaphor for collective agreement but instead as the real sonic thing, human voices locked into beautiful chords, resonating in real spaces and resounding in real time.

—Charles Donelan

The Beach Boys play Friday, September 21, 7:30 p.m., at The Granada Theatre (1214 State St.). Call 899-2222 or see granada sb.org. Read the full version of this story at independent.com/ beach-boys.

STORM READING W

COURTESY

hen the Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation first reached out to Rod Lathim about organizing its annual benefit at the Lobero, he wasn’t sure how to meet the challenge. The foundation wanted him to invite a speaker who would encourage people confronting major threats to their health by espousing the transformational power of the arts.

Thinking back over his years of experience in Santa Barbara as a theater director and philanthropist, Lathim realized that this night presented the perfect opportunity to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Storm Reading, a play written by and starring Neil Marcus, a man living with dystonia musculorum deformans, a rare neurological disorder that causes severe and constant muscle spasms and involuntary PLAY IT AGAIN: Neil Marcus, Kathryn Voice, and Matt Ingersoll (lying movements. down), pictured above in 1988, reprise their roles for the show’s 30th The play, which Lathim anniversary. directed, debuted on the Lobero stage in March 1988 and went on to win numerous accolades and tour interna- own, and the three figures onstage were the tionally.

AN ’80S FLASHBACK AT THE BOWL

T

he final installment of this season’s flashback series hits the Santa Barbara Bowl on Sunday, September 23, when Boy George and Culture Club will be joined by The B-52s and Tom Bailey of Thompson Twins for a night of classic 1980s pop. It’s hard to imagine a more promising triple bill for reviving the dancing, party-out-of-bounds spirits of the original MTV generation. What Culture Club can’t do, the B-52s can, and when you throw in Tom Bailey, who has not only his classic Thompson Twins hits but also a strong new album to work from, it is entirely safe to expect pandemonium. The tour represents a lot of hard work on the part of an energized and ambitious George, whose company planned the whole thing and pieced together the dream team Speaking with Bailey by phone recently was a pleasure, as he’s one of the most clear-headed, intelligent, wise musicians to walk out of the dark night of the 1980s alive. After taking several decades off from playing Thompson Twins music to explore other interests such as dub reggae in New Zealand and soundtracking a film about space exploration, one of his many passions, Bailey recently returned to the stage and to his multiplatinum repertoire, making new fans and pleasing lots of loyal old ones in the process. Inspired by the

by Charles Donelan satisfaction of playing “Lies” and “Hold Me Now” with musicians who were not yet alive when he wrote them, Bailey went back to the studio and created Science Fiction, an entire new album that sounds remarkably like the music he was making 30 years ago.

Of the decision to begin writing pop songs again, Bailey said, “One thing leads to another, and after I was seduced into playing the hits live again, I felt that I didn’t want it to be just a nostalgia thing.” As a result, listeners have a great new record that fulfills two purposes: Bailey and his band have more great songs to play that aren’t all old, and the singer has a way to express some of the ideas and interests that have occupied him in the meantime. The title track, “Science Fiction,” makes a great example, as it is less about reading Robert Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke or watching a Star Wars movie than it is about the fact that, as Bailey put it, “science fiction isn’t about the future really; it’s actually a way of talking about what’s happening now.”

Listening again to all this wonderful music reminded me not only (vaguely!) of a misspent youth but also of how remarkably eclectic and diverse the music that got labeled “new wave” really was. A great Thompson Twins song such as “Lies” has synths that echo Roxy Music, sure, but there’s also a dead-solid bass line that would be perfectly at home on a Rick James 12. As for The B-52s, is there a more perfect dance-floor filler than “Love Shack”? And it’s not just the goofy lyrics or Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson’s soulful harmonizing; there’s a whole world of funky guitar riffing percolating beneath it all before the exhilarating wind-up. “Bang bang on the door” for sure, sugar.

here are guitarists, and then are folks like Laurence “LJ” Juber. When the acoustical composer and reimaginer plays at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club on Tuesday, September 25, he will bring with him a vast sensibility and knowledge of the instrument like few who play can or do.

Formerly a member of Wings with Paul and Linda McCartney, the guitarist, soundtrack composer, educator, and dramatist continues to enjoy enduring relevance and reverence in musical circles. Juber’s prowess resides largely in his ability to make even multi-century-old compositions seem new again. “My approach to music is it’s not about being in one particular genre; it’s about making music and bringing my sensibility to different kinds of musical styles — whether it’s the Beatles or Hendrix or some great Ameri-

GRAMMY-WINNING COMPOSER BLENDS PAST AND PRESENT WITH TOUCHSTONES can songbook,” said the two-time Grammy Award winner. “When I say to the audience that I’m going to take you back to the ’50s, it could be the 1550s.”

His newest album, Touchstones, out on September 28, features contemporary reinterpretations of some of the world’s oldest known stringed instrument compositions.

The opening piece, for example, is Juber’s rendition of the first folio of lute music ever published, dating back to 1507. From there, the album follows finger-style playing in its progression from the baroque, classical, and romantic periods into modern American playing. “It pushes me into a deeper understanding of music,” Juber said of his selections. “Music is music, whatever era it’s from.”

Juber’s resulting performance experience, with its mix of past and present, is “somewhat transcendent” of time and category, brought down to the one-man band’s often improvisatory rendition in that moment. “My goal with all of this is not to have this kind of reverential kind of historical-artifact approach

to it. I make it groove. I’m digging in,” he said. “I give as much groove to a string tune as I would a Chuck Berry tune.” Whatever the era, he tries to bring with it “an entertainer’s sensibility.”

Juber has written hundreds of original tunes himself and has also performed guitar on soundtracks for movies such as Dirty Dancing, Good Will Hunting, and Pocahontas, as well as video games like Diablo III. It would be difficult to dissociate the former McCartney collaborator from the music of the Beatles, in which Juber continues to find gold (Acoustic Guitar magazine named LJ Plays the Beatles one of the best acoustic albums of all time).

’63, which was a turning point for them,” he recalled. “The timing of it, for me, was especially cool, just getting a guitar and never putting it down. Fifty-five years later, I’m still picking up Beatles tunes.”

Besides reviving musical classics, Juber’s also revitalizing comedy classics. This year, with his wife and coproducer, Hope Juber, he’s wrapping up work on a Brady Bunch musical for Broadway. Variety spices Juber’s musical life, and it’s what helps keep him thriving. “All the aspects of what I do, whether studio work, composing, arranging, performing — all work together to get filtered through the guitar, just to give me my own voice and my own kind of niche in the world.”

Laurence Juber plays Tuesday, September 25, at 8 p.m. at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.). Call 962-7776 or see sohosb.com.

TO ROCK YOUR BONES

STICKS AND TONES

COURTESY

A MAN AND HIS CHAPMAN: Throughout town this week, good shows ring with the sound of many talented players working in concert—indie rockers, singer/songwriters, and more. We begin this column, however, focusing on one individual who has championed a unique instrument few people play. Bright Brown, aka Alex Nahas—who performs at the Mercury Lounge (5871 Hollister Ave., Goleta) on Wednesday, September 26, at 8 p.m.—concocts cinematic maneuvers and moody art rock on the polyphonic electric neck that looks like a guitar with no body known as the Chapman Stick.

The Brooklyn-based singer, composer, musician, producer, and engineer stands out with his self-invention. Nahas makes a sound that’s truly individual and varies album to album: sometimes sprawling, but more recently austere. Growing up on the prog of Pink Floyd and King Crimson, he was drawn to the instrument through bassist/Chapmanist Tony Levin (of Peter Gabriel and King Crimson fame). The stick proved initially elusive. “It felt like a huge hump to crawl over to even make a sound out of it,” he said. Abandoning jazz-fusion technicality, he took to it like a folksinger, striking it simply, coaxing the tone. “It’s a very intuitive instrument — the stick texturally has this sound that can be so manipulated by the intensity of how you tap it.”

Nahas gets poetic with his singular stick, with a creative palette that widens from the familiar to the outré. The songs on 2017’s What If It Exists are quite sparse and raw, evoking perhaps the Velvet Underground’s minimalist artistry with something like Rainer Ptacek’s spiritual reckoning. Indeed, the devil and the divine are in the details for Nahas, who’s focusing on the more discreet, personal sides of life, lyrically and sonically. “I’m into small lately,” said Nahas of his leaner sound. “I can sort of put the songs in my pocket and take them with me, and take them out wherever I am.”

Often performing solo these days, without his usual drummer/collaborator Nick Smeraski, Nahas has taken to finding new sounds very close to home: finding percussion in the kitchen sink, or on his person. “I really enjoy using the body as a percussion instrument—stomping, clapping, tapping the body; there’s so much there.”

A cinephile, Nahas would ask Italian art-house great Michelangelo Antonioni to visualize his work, were he able. “Antonioni takes a real subjective view of objective situations. You’ll hear a conversation going on, but he’ll pull way back, and the camera will be very far away.” Check out Nahas at the Mercury and hear his own auteurist view of things, realized through sound. Exploring his Chapman Stick, he said, “I don’t think I’ll ever say I’m done.

The possibilities are going to outlive me.”

IN HINDS SIGHT: Also at SOhO, Spain’s garage-rock quartet Hinds will rock your face off with music so cool they define the word themselves. Few can forget the joyous and wild energy they bring to a room, as they did when they last played in Santa Barbara. They continue to take the world by storm with their delightfully sunny sound, shattering glass ceilings along the way.

For fans of rock, I can’t recommend them enough. They play on Saturday, n September 22, at 9 p.m.

sponsors

AMO AMO OMNIA VINCIT: Meanwhile, at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.), Amo Amo KCSB presents Amo Amo on Friday, September 21, at 9 p.m. Led by Santa Barbara’s Omar Velasco, the stylishly psychedelic crew channels a perfect kind of euphoric groove, melty and hazy as a burning summer afternoon. None other than My Morning Jacket’s Jim James said of the band: “For a musical group to come along like this is very rare — a swirling double helix of truth and love … when they play I feel it very deep in my DNA, and it registers — we are all the same.”

How’s that for an endorsement? They are joined by Oakland’s Waterstrider.

LEON BRIDGES

T

here’s a mad world of new soul and R&B out there, but when Leon Bridges hit the scene, it balked a bit at his purity, taking a collective swallow to recalibrate. His second album delivered strongly, and his concert last week at the Bowl was solid too—although it did not quite show the mind-blowing caliber of his debut tour at the Arlington, when he grabbed us all by surprise.

The evening started with the almost At the S.B. Bowl, Wed., Sept. 12. unclassifiable Houston outfit Khruangbin, whose soulful instrumental display was kicked to super-dope levels with a medley of hip-hop classics, from “It Was a Good Day” to “Jam on It.” After the break, Bridges dove into what I thought were his hits — complete with my 6-year-old daughter spinning amid our seats—although my family are such fans that maybe our barometer is skewed. Then came a mellow section, with stand-up bass and saxophone highlights.

Once Bridges got back into it, the rest of the known tunes rolled out, including one that hadn’t made either album. He hit “Smooth Sailing” on the cue that my 8-year-old son predicted, and then led into “River.” At that point, my son hopped into my lap to share the moment, and all was good.

JASON MRAZ

T

he colorful, tie-dyed “Good Vibes” tapestry providing the backdrop to Jason Mraz’s show at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Saturday, September 15, was more than a set design or a tour name — it extended to every aspect of his enchanting, healing, uplifting set.

Setting the tone for the night, Brett Dennen brought his peacewielding folk-pop tunes, melding the packed crowd of all ages into one happy mass of good vibes. Conjuring the likes of Van Morrison and Tom Petty, Dennen earnestly played a selection of hits, from the propulsive “Comeback Kid (That’s My Dog)” to the guitar-soloinfused “Wild Child” to the anthemic “Here’s Looking at You, Kid.” Mraz took the stage with a full band decked At S.B. Bowl, Sat., Sept. 15. out in brightly colored jumpsuits, looking like a troop of Teletubbies who could also shred on the guitar, slap the bass, or break out into a scatting solo. Wasting no time getting to the hits, Mraz delighted fans with favorites like “I’m Yours,” “Curbside Prophet,” and “The Remedy” early on, coaching the crowd in singalongs and encouraging spontaneous dancing.

However, his performance was far from a mere replaying of the singles.

Mraz incorporated plenty of “had to be there” moments, including a spiritual group breathing session in which the crowd inhaled and exhaled in unison, with Mraz gently directing, “Breathe in and out; it’s all we’re here to do.”

His heartfelt single “93 Million Miles” was bookended with a trance-y sitar solo as the dark night blanketed the crowd and stage lights climbed through the trees. The group paid tribute to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, with lovely, stripped-down versions of “Say a Little Prayer” and “Respect.”

Mraz’s songs off his newest album, Know, played beautifully, including “Have It All” and “Unlonely,” bolstered by an “I Want You Back” bass line.

Ending the night, the band crowded around the piano for an infectious rendition of The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations,” sealing the deal on the tour’s promise — as if the smiling faces, tapping toes, and full hearts left any room for debate.

Bell’s parents weren’t thrilled when she informed them that she, too, intended to become an actor, but after seeing her commitment to the craft, they offered their full support, a gift for which she is eternally grateful.

After studying acting at New York University, Bell went on to appear in a number of films.

But it was when she met the renowned conservationist Sangdeaun “Lek” Chailert and was exposed to the plight of Asian elephants that she knew she had a story to tell from behind the camera.

PLIGHT OF ASIAN PACHYDERMS

Bell’s documentary, Love and Bananas: An Elephant Story, was five years in the making: half a decade of waiting for the right elephant, the right time, and the right circumstances.

The logistics involved in filming the rescue and more-than-500-mile transport of a partially blind, sick, 70-year-old Asian elephant were daunting, but Bell, inspired by the courage, determination, and will of Chailert, returned from Thailand and Cambodia with more than 75 hours of extraordinary footage.

Love and Bananas has been screened in theaters nationwide, and in South Korea, Australia, and parts of Europe.

ies in Southeast Asia. Bell spoke recently with the Santa Barbara Independent. What follows is an edited version of the conversation.

Talk about Lek Chailert. She’s a remarkable woman.

She risks her life almost every day to protect elephants. Nothing is more important to Lek than treating these animals with respect and dignity — except maybe educating people about why it’s so vital to protect elephants from exploitation by trekking camps, circuses, and logging operations. Under Lek’s care, formerly captive elephants become elephants again.

How did you decide on the title of the film? It actually came to me immediately. Lek’s approach to working with elephants is essentially an excess of love and lots of bananas. The title is a metaphor for what elephants need, but we also wanted a title that might appeal to children and schools. Like Lek, I think our best hope to save elephants is through education. When people know better, they tend to do better.

Love and Bananas is your directorial debut. At any point did you worry that you had taken on more than you bargained for? Yes! I had my first panic attack when I came home with 75 hours of raw footage. I literally lay on the tile floor in my parents’ kitchen. My father said, “It’s okay, step-by-step.” And with the help of some incredible collaborators, we figured out how to tell the story in the most effective way and a bit differently from other wildlife documentaries.

You grew up in Los Angeles, but I understand you have a Santa Barbara connection. That’s right.

When I was a little girl, my family had a beach house near Miramar Beach, and that’s where I spent many summers. I love Santa Barbara, and I’m so looking forward to screening Love and Bananas there.

Ashley Bell and Lek Chailert will present a screening of Love and Bananas on Friday, September 21, 7 p.m., at The Marjorie Luke Theatre (721 E. Cota St.). See loveandbananas .ticketspice.com/tickets.

MOVIE GUIDE PREMIERES

Assassination Nation (110 mins., R) In this satirical teen thriller, Odessa Young stars as high school senior Lily Colson, who bands together with her pals to survive when their town falls victim to a sinister data hack that exposes all of the citizens’ deadly secrets. Maude Apatow, Suki Waterhouse, and Bella Thorne also star.

Camino Real/Metro 4

Fahrenheit 11/9 (120 mins., R) Filmmaker Michael Moore’s latest documentary takes on the 2016 U.S. presidential election and the subsequent presidency of Donald Trump — how we got here and how to get out. It is described by Briarcliff Entertainment, the film’s distributor, as “a provocative and comedic look at the times in with we live.”

The Hitchcock Hell Fest (89 mins., R) It’s Halloween, and a killer is rampant at a horror-themed park. The problem is he’s wearing a costume, so folks aren’t sure if the murders are real or part of the park experience.

Camino Real/Fiesta 5 (Opens Thu., Sept. 27)

The House with a Clock in Its Walls (105 mins., PG) Based on the 1973 book of the same name, this film tells the story of orphaned 10-year-old Lewis Barnavelt (Owen Vaccaro), who goes to live with his eccentric uncle (Jack Black), whose house has a ticking heart. When Lewis finds out his uncle is a warlock and his neighbor, Florence (Cate Blanchett) is a good witch, the boy must join in the fight to beat the forces of evil trying to bring about Doomsday.

Life Itself (117 mins., R) Director Dan Fogelman’s romantic dramedy tells the story of several generations of people living in New York and Spain and how their lives are intertwined. Oscar Isaac, Olivia Wilde, and Mandy Patinkin star.

Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

Little Women (110 mins., PG-13) Lea Thompson and Lucas Grabeel star in this modern adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic, 1868 novel of the same name, which chronicles the trials and tribulations of four sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March.

Paseo Nuevo (Opens Thu., Sept. 27)

Lizzie (105 mins., R) Chloë Sevigny and Kristen Stewart star in this historical adaptation of the true story of Lizzie Borden, who was accused of killing her father and stepmother with an ax in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892.

Metro 4 Love, Gilda (88 mins., NR) This documentary, which premiered last spring at the Tribeca Film Festival, reveals the wacky, whimsical world of beloved comedian Gilda Radner using audiotapes, interviews with her friends, diary entries, and home movies.

Riviera

ensue. Rob Riggle, Yvonne Orji, and Mary Lynn Rajskub also star.

Camino Real/Metro 4 (Opens Thu., Sept. 27)

Smallfoot (96 mins., PG) Warner Animation Group presents this animated musical comedy/adventure about a Yeti (Channing Tatum) who’s convinced he’s glimpsed the elusive creature known as Smallfoot (aka humans) and sets out to find it. James Corden, Zendaya, Common, LeBron James, and Danny DeVito also star.

Fairview/Fiesta 5 (Opens Thu., Sept. 27)

NOW SHOWING O BlacKkKlansman

(135 mins., R)

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

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

Topher Grace captures the disturbing boyishness of David Duke as naturally as if he were reviving Eric from That ’70s Show rather than portraying the

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 their exclusivity. 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 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 novel. 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 opposing 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

Hell Fest fairy tale of global capitalism. (AT) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “The flower doesn’t dream of the bee. It

blossoms and the bee comes.” So says poet and philosopher Mark Nepo in The Book of Awakening. Now I’m transmitting his observation to you. I hope it will motivate you to expend less energy fantasizing about what you want and devote more energy to becoming the beautiful, useful, irresistible presence that will attract what you want. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to make plans to produce very specific blossoms.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Budi Waseso, the former head of the Indonesian government’s anti-narcotics division, had a radical plan to prevent escapes by people convicted of drug-related crimes. He sought to build detention centers that would be surrounded by moats filled with crocodiles and piranhas. But his replacement, Heru Winarko, has a different approach. He wants addicts and dealers to receive counseling in comfortable rehabilitation centers. I hope that in the coming weeks, as you deal with weaknesses, flaws, and sins — both your own and others’ — you’ll opt for an approach more like Winarko’s than Waseso’s.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In one sense, a patron saint is a Catho-

lic saint who is a heavenly advocate for a person, group, activity, thing, or place. St. Jude is the patron saint of lost causes, for instance. St. Francis of Assisi is the guardian of animal welfare, and St. Kentigern is the protector against verbal abusers. “Patron saint” may also be invoked poetically to refer to a person who serves as a special guide or influence. For example, in one of his short stories, Nathaniel Hawthorne refers to a veteran nurse as “the patron saint of young physicians.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I invite you to fantasize about persons, groups, activities, things, or places for whom you might be the patron saint. To spur your imagination, here are some appropriate possibilities. You could be the patron saint of the breeze at dawn, of freshly picked figs, of singing humorous love songs in the sunlight, of unpredictable

romantic adventures, of life-changing epiphanies while hiking in nature, of soul-stirring music.

LEO

CANCER

(July 23-Aug. 22): “People think of education as some-

thing they can finish,” said writer and scientist Isaac Asimov, who wrote or edited more than 500 books. His point was that we’re wise to be excited about learning new lessons as long as we’re on this earth. To cultivate maximum vitality, we should always be engaged in the processes of absorbing new knowledge, mastering new skills, and deepening our understanding. Does that sound appealing to you, Leo? I hope so, especially in the coming weeks, when you will have an enhanced ability to see the big picture of your future needs for education.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo businessman Warren Buffett is

among the top five wealthiest people on the planet. In an average year, his company Berkshire Hathaway adds $36 billion to its already swollen coffers. But in 2017, thanks to the revision of the U.S. tax code by President Trump and his buddies, Buffett earned $65 billion — an increase of 83 percent over his usual haul. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re entering a yearlong phase when your financial chances could have a mild resemblance to Buffett’s 2017. I’m not predicting your earnings will increase by 83 percent. But 15 percent isn’t unreasonable. So start planning how you’ll do it!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As you dive down into your soul’s

depths in quest for renewal, remember this testimony from poet Scherezade Siobhan: “I want to dig out what is ancient in me, the mistaken-for-monster … and let it teach me how to be unafraid again.” Are you brave and brazen enough to do that yourself? It’s an excellent time to douse your fear by drawing wild power from the primal sources of your life. To earn the right to soar through the heights in November and December, delve as deep as you can in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to author Elizabeth Gil-

bert, here’s “the central question upon which all creative living hinges: Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?” When I read that thought, my first response was, why are the treasures hidden? Shouldn’t they be completely obvious? My second response was, why do you need courage to bring forth the treasures? Shouldn’t that be the easiest and most enjoyable task imaginable?

Everything you just read is a perfect riddle for you to contemplate during the next 14 months, Sagittarius.

her readers a list of “cool things to call me besides cute.” They include dazzling, alluring, sublime, magnificent, and exquisite. Is it okay if I apply those same adjectives to you, Capricorn? I’d like to add a few more, as well: resplendent, delightful, intriguing, magnetic, and incandescent. I hope that in response you don’t flinch with humility or protest that you’re not worthy of such glorification. According to my astrological analysis, now is one of those times when you deserve extra appreciation for your idiosyncratic appeal and intelligence. Tell your allies and loved ones that I said so. Inform them, too, that giving you this treatment could help mobilize one of your half-asleep potentials.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many educated Americans and

Europeans think of reincarnation as a loony delusion, even though it’s a cornerstone of spiritual belief for more than 1.5 billion earthlings. I myself regard it as a hypothesis worthy of intelligent consideration, although I’d need hundreds of pages to explain my version of it. However you imagine it, Aquarius, you now have extra access to knowledge, skills, and proclivities you possessed in what we might refer to as your “past lives” — especially in those past lives in which you were an explorer, maverick, outlaw, or pioneer. I bet you’ll feel freer and more experimental than usual during the next four weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “When the winds of change blow,”

says a Chinese proverb, “some people build walls while others build windmills.” Since the light breezes of change may soon evolve into brisk gusts of change in your vicinity, I wanted to bring this thought to your attention. Will you be more inclined to respond by constructing walls or windmills? I don’t think it would be foolish for you to favor the walls, but in the long run I suspect that windmills would serve you better.

LEGALS ADMINISTER OF ESTATE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: VIRGINIA HEALY SMITH NO: 18PR00416 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of VIRGINIA HEALY SMITH, aka VIRGINIA H. SMITH, and aka VIRGINIA SMITH A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: PAULA M. SMITH in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that (name): PAULA M. SMITH 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. A Request for Special notice form is available from the court clerk.
