COVER STORY

Santa Barbara Independent’s Annual Celebration of Our Fantastic Neighbors

(Indy Indy Staff)

ON THE COVER AND AT LEFT: Illustration by Alex Drake

ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL No sports field would be big enough to hold all the heroes who helped Montecito and Santa Barbara through the hellfire of Thomas and the devastation of the debris flow, but we felt we had to recognize as many of those people as possible for this week’s Local Heroes issue. On Saturday, handfuls of representatives from the dozens of groups, organizations, and agencies that went above and beyond filed onto the Montecito Union School Field for the largest group photo the Indy has ever assembled. Photographer Paul Wellman climbed a fire truck ladder to get the shot. See it on page 20.

SEA OTTERS FREE AT LAST

After nine years of litigation, EDC received final word from the U.S. Supreme Court that threatened southern sea otters are once again protected under the Endangered Species Act and welcome to populate their native range from Point Conception to the Mexico border. This decision puts a final end to the commercial fishing industry’s attempt to reinstate the failed “no-otter zone” that was harming this keystone species.

This year, EDC and our partners expanded our ongoing Vessel Speed Reduction program that protects endangered whales while improving air quality onshore. This program financially incentivizes large cargo ships to voluntarily slow down as they travel through the Santa Barbara Channel, reducing the chance of a fatal collision with whales while also reducing emissions and ocean noise.

FIGHTING TRUMP’S OIL PLAN

ENDING OIL IN CARPINTERIA

EDC sponsored SB 834 and worked diligently for its passage, along with its companion bill, AB 1775, providing leadership with outreach and policy. These important laws now prohibit California from approving new infrastructure that is necessary to transport oil and gas from leases in federal waters, through state waters and on to shore to be processed.

This year we celebrated the end of oil in Carpinteria, as Venoco’s bankruptcy resulted in the transfer of its Paredon offshore lease to the California Coastal Sanctuary, thus permanently protecting the area from oil and gas development. EDC and our clients have opposed development of this lease since 2007. Similarly, offshore platforms Grace and Gail, formerly owned by Venoco, have been shut down.

RECOGNIZING EDC’S HEROES

CALIFORNIA COAST

EDC secured a court ruling ordering the federal government to stop issuing permits for fracking and acidizing off the California coast. The judge declared that the government must consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the impacts to endangered species, including the sea otter and snowy plover, and must allow the State of California to review these dangerous and polluting drilling techniques.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

CALIFORNIA COAST

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

EDC filed a lawsuit against Pacific Coast Energy Company for violating the Clean Water Act by repeatedly discharging polluted stormwater runoff from its 5,400-acre Orcutt Hill oil field operation where the company uses dangerous oil extraction techniques such as cyclic steam injection.

Polluted runoff from this facility threatens endangered species and public recreation as it flows into Orcutt Creek and San Antonio Creek and ultimately drains into the ocean.

CALIFORNIA COAST

This summer at our annual event, Green & Blue, EDC honored Jane Fonda and Gail Osherenko with Environmental Hero awards. Jane has been an outspoken activist fighting for our climate and against risky oil pipelines. Gail’s award-winning documentary, Broke: The Santa Barbara Oil Pipeline Spill of 2015, tells the story of how not just our community, but the whole nation, is at risk from the pipeline industry.

This powerful film highlights EDC’s work in the aftermath of the 2015 Plains All American Pipeline spill which poured more than 140,000 gallons of heavy crude oil onto the Gaviota Coast and into the Santa Barbara Channel.

For nine years, EDC has worked throughout every step of the process to help get the Gaviota Coast Plan approved, pushing for strong protections for environmentally sensitive habitat and wildlife, agriculture, archaeological resources, scenic views, and public trails. This plan now serves as the roadmap for future development and land use on this 76-mile iconic coastline – one of the largest remaining continuous stretches of undeveloped coast in California.

EDUCATION

STRONG TURNOUT: Students gathered Monday night at an SBCC board meeting to call for the resignation of Lyndsay Maas and speak out about racial tensions on campus.

VP Drops the N-Word SBCC Students and Faculty Call for Resignation

by Blanca Garcia tudents, staff, and faculty at Santa Barbara City College are calling for the immediate resignation of Vice President of Business Services Lyndsay Maas after they learned she used the unabbreviated n-word at a gender equity meeting on November 14. The college’s Board of Trustees held a special meeting Monday, where public speakers voiced their outrage. Many insisted this was not an isolated incident but rather a product of the campus climate toward black students and a continued pattern of racial insensitivity.

S

COUNTY A woman was fatally struck by a train in Montecito at approximately 7:10 a.m. on 11/16. Casilina Gallagher, 33, was walking northbound on the railroad tracks near Olive Mill Road when she was hit by a southbound Amtrak passenger train. The train had been rounding a bend when the engineer saw Gallagher on the tracks and activated the train’s horn and braking system. The train was unable to stop in time.

NEWS BRIEFS

Maas used the word in reference to African-American students being called the n-word on campus. Maas was stopped by a faculty member of color “to address the harm caused by the racial slur,” wrote staff who were present at the workgroup meeting in a letter to the board. “Maas tried to explain herself, but she did not take the opportunity to listen to the experience of others,” read the letter.

In a statement, Maas said, “Last week during a campus meeting discussing how to combat racism on campus, I inadvertently used a term that has since been taken out of context,

offending some people as a result. I deeply regret that offense, and remain committed to help battle on-campus racism at SBCC.” On the date of the incident, Admissions staffer Akil Hill, who did not witness the slur but had heard about it, was waiting for a campus-wide email to address the incident. That email never came. Instead, SBCC President Anthony Beebe sent an email the following morning to managers, supervisors, and president’s councilmembers only, detailing the event, explaining on behalf of Maas, and directing all 52 recipients to attend cultural-sensitivity training within the next six months. Hill equated Beebe’s failure to inform the campus to a cover-up and was disappointed Beebe did not reach out to black staff, faculty, and students to inform them of the event, much less apologize and gather input to move forward. “You can’t offend a group of people and not apologize to them,” said Hill. In her email to fellow members of the gender equity committee following the incident, Maas commits to attending cultural sensitivity training.

Hill expressed frustration at the way events played out but insisted he doesn’t dislike Beebe or Maas. He described Maas as being a “good person,” but the issue is beyond that, he said. “We can’t reduce it down to her being a good or bad person. She made a mistake, and there has to be consequences,” he said. “You can’t continue coming to work like nothing happened.”

At the special meeting Monday, audience members held up “Black Lives Matter” signs while students of color chronicled their experiences on campus. Students talked about not feeling safe or welcome on campus and shared experiences in which they were called

The Board of Supervisors has reduced the annual fees for veteran access at county parks to $10 irrespective of residence. The annual pass is accepted at Cachuma Lake Recreation Area and Jalama Beach County Park for day-use entry and can be purchased at both parks. Customers would need to present either a California driver’s license or identification card with veteran designation, a California State Parks Distinguished Veteran Pass, or a Veterans Identification Card to be eligible.

When the Whittier Fire started in July 2017, Circle V Ranch Camp was at the center of the firestorm, with county firefighters and deputy sheriffs undertaking a dramatic rescue of camp kids and counselors. The place was gutted by the 18,000acre blaze, and St. Vincent de Paul, a charitable organization that has owned the camp since 1945 and run it at Circle V since 1990, has been raising funds to rebuild the camp ever since. Most recently, a Hike4Kids in Altadena raised more than $60,000 toward the goal of reopening in 2019.

Sansum Clinic now supports Health Records on iPhone, which brings together hospitals, clinics, and the existing Apple Health app to offer a simple way to access medical data.

Before, medical records were held across multiple locations, requiring patients to log into each care provider’s website to piece together information. Now, medical information from participating institutions can be organized into one view. Through their iPhones, Sansum patients will receive health updates and notifications on any information from lab results to new immunizations. All medical data is then protected by the user’s passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID.

LAW & DISORDER Stating they have been “forced to challenge this through the courts,” the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has joined the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians in a suit that seeks to stop illegal card-game gambling. The suit filed in San Diego Superior Court names 11 defendants, including Larry Flynt and the Bicycle Casino, and alleges the cardrooms offer house-banked and percentage card games in violation of California law. A proposition passed in 2000 authorized the governor to negotiate only with federally recognized Indian tribes to allow card players to bet against the house instead of with each other. Rincon Band tribal leader Bo Mazzeti said they were not challenging the cardrooms’ right to operate but their compliance with the law, adding they’d pursued the issue for 13 years before filing suit. n

Santa Barbara environmental think tank has teamed up with a Menlo Park renewable energy nonprofit on an ambitious new effort to build a mini, self-sustaining electrical grid to power Montecito’s critical water and fire protection facilities. The Montecito Community Microgrid Initiative — as explained by the World Business Academy and the Clean Coalition in a joint presentation last week — would generate and store solar power on-site at the San Ysidro Road fire station and nearby Water District headquarters, thereby ensuring a constant flow of electricity even if their connection to the Southern California Edison grid is cut.

Clean Coalition’s Craig Lewis said he returned to his hometown of Santa Barbara to spearhead the project because he believes such a system would make Montecito more resilient to disasters and because last winter’s tragedy hit so close to home. The fire station’s backup diesel generator failed during the fire, he said. Lewis described the microgrid as a first step that could eventually be expanded to include the Upper

Village’s market, gas station, post office, and banks, which might be used as shelters during an emergency. Then, he said, the Lower Village could be included, and then expand to the entire South Coast, now tenuously connected to the Edison grid by a single transmission line snaking through the mountains.

Lewis acknowledged that even the initial undertaking will be complex and difficult, with a dizzying galaxy of stakeholders needing to reach consensus. But there’s already been progress, he said. Edison is on board, and early conversations with water and fire agency staff have gone well. The first phase of powering the two facilities would cost around $2.25 million, Lewis said. Of that, he predicted $1.5 million would be paid through energy savings, tax benefits, and other solar incentives. The remaining $750,000 is expected to come from philanthropic sources. Thus far, the World Business Academy has raised $46,000 toward that goal. To power the rest of the targeted Upper Village buildings would cost $7.5 million, Lewis said.

Task Force Update: Human Trafficking

Community Forum Talks Numbers, Stings, and Changing Language

by Blanca Garcia s many as 150 teens in Santa Barbara County have been identified as “commercially sexually exploited children” (CSEC) since the launch of the Human Trafficking Task Force in 2013, according to Lt. Brian Olmstead, a detective with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff ’s Office and a member of the task force. Last week, Olmstead sat on a public-forum panel with Lisa Conn, the project supervisor for Resiliency Interventions for Sexual Exploitation (RISE) Project, and Rita McGaw, who supervises the District Attorney’s Victim-Witness Program. The community meeting, held at the Faulkner Gallery and organized by Democratic Women of Santa Barbara, discussed human trafficking countywide and the ongoing efforts to combat it.

A

Is there a difference between pimp and trafficker?

No — but one is glorified.

—Victim-Witness Program Supervisor Rita McGaw, with the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office

The event began with a video of a teen who was rescued from human trafficking, which doesn’t happen often, according to the panelists. “Rescuing people out of this life is very uncommon,” said McGaw. However, the county’s task force is dedicated to reducing the demand for commercial sex and providing victims with counseling and other supportive services. But even these tasks have proved to be more difficult than anticipated, Olmstead noted. “The more we educate [the community], the more cases we identify, the more overwhelmed we get. We need more resources,” he said.

To reduce demand for commercial sex in the county, the Sheriff ’s Office has organized a number of sting operations, with deputies posing as sex workers and arresting sex purchasers at hotels. Sex buyers are everyday members of the community, according to Olmstead. “They range from 18 to 82 years of age. They’re students, professionals, white colar, blue colar — anyone.” Traffickers are harder to go after and only receive an average of three years in prison, he added.

Counseling victims also has its challenges, the audience was told. Most victims in Santa Barbara County are female, identified through juvenile hall, said Conn, who has been working in the county’s Behavioral Wellness department for 20 years. She only started identifying victims six years ago, when she was educated in sexual exploitation. However, just because the terminology is new, doesn’t mean the problem is new. “This has been going on for a very long time,” said Conn, who still thinks about some of the girls who presented characteristics of a child being trafficked before she had the background to identify them as victims of exploitation.

Most of Conn’s clients, young people up to 24 years old, are from within Santa Barbara County. Older adults tend to be from out of the county, said Olmstead. Those victims are brought into Santa Barbara as they travel between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Regardless of where they are from, many have a hard time identifying as victims, said Conn.

“Even children that we know are victims do not self-identify,” she said. A big reason for that is because of the shame associated with it. One way to combat that is by rebranding trafficking and stopping the glorification of pimps, said McGaw. “Is there a difference between pimp and trafficker? No — but one is glorified,” said McGaw. “Language is simple, n and that is something we can all do.”

Utility Giant Sued Over Woolsey Fire

a circuit outage near Chatsworth occurred two minutes before the fire was reported on November 7. By the following Monday, when the California Public Utilities Commission announced it was investigating Edison for the fire, stock prices for its parent company, Edison International, had fallen by more than 12 percent, according to the investor lawsuit. Filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, the investor suit alleges the share price ultimately fell 32 percent, according to multiple media accounts.

Joseph Liebman, a Santa Barbara attorney pursuing the fire litigation for victims, along with Robertson & Associates of Westlake Village and Foley Bezek Behle & Curtis of Santa Barbara, said the implications of Dodd’s Senate Bill 901 await an interpretation by the courts, as often is the case with new laws. Talking about the red flag warning that was in effect when the Woolsey Fire began and Edison’s previous announcement that it would power down the grid if fire-weather conditions demanded it, Liebman commented, “The utilities sell a product that is inherently dangerous. They have to step up to the plate and stop this. They’re the only ones who can.”

outhern California Edison has come under legal scrutiny following the Woolsey Fire, from both victims and investors. The attorneys who sued Edison over the Thomas Fire filed suit recently on behalf of victims of the Woolsey Fire, which has claimed three lives and destroyed more than 1,500 structures. At about the same time, stock prices fell dramatically for SoCal Edison’s parent company, Edison International, prompting an investor class action.

Edison admitted in October that it ignited one of the fires blamed for starting the 281,000-acre Thomas conflagration in December 2017. In the interval, the governor signed a bill written by State Senator Bill Dodd (D-Napa) that allows utilities to raise bonds to pay “costs and expenses,” including wildfire victim payouts, and to charge ratepayers for those bond costs, but only if the California Public Utility Commission finds the utility acted reasonably to design, operate, and maintain its equipment to avoid a fire. The bill, which applies after January 1, 2019, specifically includes fires that started in 2017.

In the Woolsey Fire, SoCal Edison disclosed to the CPUC on November 8 that

anta Barbara County Search and Rescue sent a team of 11 volunteers to Butte County for five days last week to search for human remains in what’s left of the town of Paradise in the wake of the Camp Fire.

“It’s pretty devastating,” said Nelson Trichler, the team’s incident commander. “The entire town is wiped out. Ninety percent of the buildings, everything, just burned to the ground, in ashes.”

With search dogs, the team — among approximately 500 search-and-rescue personnel from across the state—was deployed throughout residential neighborhoods and mobile home parks to identifiable bedroom and bathroom areas, where people may have tried to shelter in place. As dogs picked up scents, team members carefully 12

sifted through the ashes for bones; if remains were discovered, an anthropologist and one of several “roving coroner units” were called in, Trichler explained.

“I have been involved in many disasters throughout my life and thought the [January 9] debris flow in Montecito was the worst thing that I would ever see,” Trichler said.

“But the magnitude and scope of this disaster is something you could never imagine. This [was] really hard, but we are fortunate that we have the training, knowledge, and experience from other disasters. We have responded to in order to help bring closure to the families.” As of Tuesday morning, Cal Fire had reported 79 fatalities and more than 12,600 homes destroyed. Nearly 700 people were listed as missing.

City in Trenches on State Street Fixes healthy cross-section of downtown interests — including architects, business owners, construction managers, and private consultants — have joined forces with the city’s planning staff to streamline and improve Santa Barbara’s famously onerous permitting process.

State Rejects Montecito Conflict Allegation

T

he state Fair Political Practices Commission has rejected an anonymous complaint filed on October 18 against Montecito Sanitary District boardmember Robert Williams, the board said last week. The complaint alleged that Williams had violated state conflict-of-interest laws by voting to spend district money on an ad that the district placed in the Santa Barbara News-Press during the recent electoral campaign for two seats on the board, including his. The complaint was filed on the same day that a Sacramento law firm representing a slate of five candidates for board seats on the Montecito Water and Sanitary districts threatened to sue the Sanitary District, alleging that by running the ad, it was using public funds “to engage in political speech.”

At a special meeting on November 14, the Sanitary District board voted to send a letter to the slate’s law firm, asking the five newly elected candidates, “How are the community’s rate payers benefitted by forcing the Sanitary District to use its limited resources to defend itself from these unfounded claims?

The District did nothing wrong,” the letter stated. “It has free speech rights and duties to inform its ratepayers about issues of public

concern related to its mission and compliance with permitting requirements.”

The candidates for the slate were backed by more than $120,000 in campaign funds and won the November 6 election handily.

At the Sanitary District, Woody Barrett, the owner of Alltex Exploration Inc., a Houstonbased oil company, and Dana Newquist, the owner of Mission Villa, an Alzheimer’s facility on Mission Street, unseated incumbents Judith Ishkanian, a 12-year veteran of the board, and Williams, a retired executive who oversaw the design, construction, and installation of recycled water infrastructure for the Irvine Co. in Newport Beach.

To fill a vacancy on the board, Ishkanian, Williams, and boardmembers Thomas Kern and Jeff Kerns in November unanimously chose Thomas Bollay, a prominent Montecito architect who is on the land-use committee of the Montecito Association. He will serve the remaining two years of the term of Warner Owens, who resigned last month because he was moving out of the district. Bollay was endorsed for the post by Heal the Ocean, a nonprofit conservationist group that has lobbied for more widespread use of recycled water on the South Coast. —Melinda Burns

angry poodle barbecue

MORE OF SAME: It was another State Street monologue no one really wanted to

witness. A tall young man—bearded, well dressed, and soiled — bent intently over a green trash can in front of a downtown bank and shouted into the abyss. I couldn’t make out the words, but the exchange apparently did not go well. After about 20 seconds, he jerked his head up, wheeled around, and marched angrily up the street, hollering at the top of his lungs. No one asked any questions. We already knew the answer: Get out of the way.

It’s an old story, one that Santa Barbara has been wringing its hands over for the past 35 years. Last week, the City Council heard what I’d say is by far the most promising, creative, and innovative proposal devised yet to address the issue. For the first time ever, Cottage Hospital, the Housing Authority, city cops, and the PATH homeless shelter are all sitting around the table, talking about working together. That’s never happened before. Instigating this newfound unity of purpose is $550 million in one-time-only grants the state legislature just made available for communities to deal with homelessness. Of that, Santa Barbara County will get about $9 million. The specific proposal discussed by the council would take about $6.5 million of that.

On the Richter scale of good news, this qualifies as a major earthquake.

Take The Dog Out Naturally, there’s a bad-news component involved, too. In this case, that’s how City Hall rolled it out. In fact, it’s hard to imagine it being done any worse.

A big part of the plan calls for the temporary installation of no fewer than 40 “tiny homes” — commonly known as “sheds with beds” — at the commuter parking lot by Castillo and Carrillo streets. This is where many of the 50 most chronic and expensive repeat customers who show up at Cottage Hospital’s emergency rooms and the Santa Barbara County Jail will live, we are told, but on a strictly transitional, supervised, temporary, and managed basis. These are the so-called Million-Dollar Murrays and Frequent Flyers who have been giving cops and social service providers fits. By placing them indoors in a supervised setting — with two security guards 24/7 and offices for a city cop—the theory goes, they can be more cheaply and efficiently bombarded with the array of mental-health, detox, health-care, and social services needed to turn their lives around. This is known in the lingo as the “Housing First” model. In terms of results, it reportedly beats the alternative — waiting for people who’ve declined such services for more than 20 years to show up on their own and ask for help On paper, the plan makes massive sense.

But for the neighbors living near the commuter lot, news of this proposal arrived like

a lightning bolt. Not surprisingly, their hair is still smoldering. They first heard about the plan just two Saturday afternoons ago, when

city flyers mysteriously appeared on the front doors of residents living within 300

feet of the proposed site. And that was just two days before the council first heard about the grant application. And it was given absolutely no time for deliberation. Any delay meant walking away from millions in onetime emergency homeless funds.

Were the neighbors upset?

Who wouldn’t be?

The whiplash-inducing suddenness of it all has sparked a cottage industry of conspiracy theories, including that city planners deliberately and maliciously hid the plan from the public until the last possible second to prevent any NIMBY opposition from rising up. I suspected as much myself.

I’ve since been persuaded otherwise.

Although City Hall knew about the state grant since last spring, the exact terms of the grant application weren’t released until October 16. This gave the co-conspirators from the city, Cottage Hospital, and the Housing Authority less than a month to put together the details of a proposal. And only at the very end of October was it understood, I am told, that city parking lots were zoned to allow the installation of the tiny houses. If the timing was horrific, it was inadvertently so. It’s possible I’ve drunk too much Kool-

Aid here, but I know from personal experience that conspiracies are exceptionally hard to execute.

After-the-fact public outreach has been scheduled for next Wednesday evening at the Louise Lowry Davis Center at 5:30. It should be lively. I would suggest that if Brad Fieldhouse —representing the Orange County nonprofit City Net, which is slated to receive $1 million from the grant to do hyper-persistent street outreach work —shows up, he refrain from calling such frequent attention to his size. During his presentation to the council, he mentioned he had big hands, that he was large, that people might be intimidated by his height and heft, and that in case you wondered, he was 67.

Some of us are wondering why an Orange County outfit had to be brought in to do street outreach. We were told the expression “service resistant” does not exist in City Net’s dictionary and that his crew is very persistent in connecting street people with services they might not think they need. Size apparently has its advantages.

The trash-can screamer has come and gone, replaced, at least for the moment, by an older man just bumped out of his elder-care facility. He tried the shelter but found the bed bugs not to his liking. He’s much quieter. No one will feel the need to get out of the way.

But he’ll still be on the streets.

I am your neighbor. I never complain when your gardener blows debris into my yard the day after my gardener made it look like a page from a magazine. But you are older than me and you have medical problems and you are doing the best you can.

I am your neighbor. I am the one who tells you you’re welcome to park in my driveway when all the visitor parking is filled with the vehicles of folks playing tennis or going to the dog park. And it’s hard for you to walk the distance from the next visitor parking area.

I am your neighbor. I don’t complain when your tennis balls fly over the fence into my yard and you shriek and carry on because the sounds I hear are sounds of joy.

I am your neighbor. I live alone. Not by choice, but because my beloved husband is stranded in a country where five are killed a day in his neighborhood while I jump through the endless hoops created by the current administration to prevent innocent persons like my husband from emigrating. My husband, 71 years old, who lived in this country for 14 years with a legal permanent resident card. A card that expired while I was doing voluntary medical service in a developing country and the folks in the U.S. State Department sent our re-application form to an address in the forest where mail is not delivered instead of to the PO Box I clearly wrote on their form. It has been three years. Hoping that somebody will recognize their error and welcome my husband back to this country like they did the first time 23 years ago. Praying that he will live long enough to return to our home.

Volunteer

I

was excited to finally take on a volunteer role with a large nonprofit that does a lot of good in our Santa Barbara community. I starched my

crisp white shirt. I pulled out my black skirt and black heels.

At the lovely Montecito home hosting the event, we were told about the wines we’d be serving and about supporting the catering team, an amazing group of warm professionals who took us under their wing. Armed with trays of wine and sparkling water, we offered the poshly dressed crowd their beverages and then swept the crowd for refills or any other needs.

After a few minutes, I started to realize the guests perceived me as “the help” and not a volunteer. It was the way they didn’t look at me when I spoke to them. The way they waited for me to hand them a drink rather than grab it themselves. This was a crowd that was used to being served and waited on.

It made me see another side of life, what it feels like to not quite be on the same footing as others. Only because of the contributions of this privileged and wealthy community could this nonprofit help the most impoverished members of our community. What an irony that the same people giving up thousands of dollars to help “the least of these” couldn’t treat with respect and dignity those who served them.

There were a few who were down to earth, looked me in the eye, and behaved courteously as I served them. However, they were the exception, I’m sad to say. As your fellow Santa Barbaran, I urge you to remember: gifts of money will certainly help feed the hungry, but humility will feed their souls.

Cynthia Kay Bush

Elizabeth Ann McNeil

On Sunday, November 11, 2018, the 100th anniversary of the Armistice, Cynthia Kay Bush, a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother found everlasting peace at the age of 75 after a long illness.

Cynthia was born to Sgt. Jess Willard Jameson & Lauretta Mae Jameson on January 27, 1943 in Junction City, Kansas. She graduated from Santa Barbara High School with the class of 1961.

While working at the counter of El Camino Pharmacy on Coast Village Road, she met Lloyd Bush.

Their first date was a Limeliters concert under the stars at the Santa Barbara Bowl. While dining at Joe’s in July of 1963, Lloyd borrowed money from Harry Davis so he and Cindy could elope to Las Vegas, the only thing they didn’t do surrounded by their large community of friends.

Their years together in their house on Montecito Creek were happy ones, with many parties and perhaps one too many cocktails.

Their New Years Eve bouillabaisse was legendary, and nothing short of miraculous given it was prepared in a kitchen that was smaller than a ship’s galley. Sunny days were spent at the Miramar, playing tennis and relaxing on the beach. Her favorite vacation was her yearly birthday trip to San Francisco, but she enjoyed their journeys to farther away places like France, Italy and China. She also could not imagine a life without Diet Coke or See’s candy.

Her husband as well as her mother preceded Cindy in death.

These losses took a great toll on her. Her diagnosis with multiple sclerosis, a disease that felled her uncle, Emmett, was another blow as she entered the 21st century. But to all who knew her at her prime, there was simply no one who loved being a daughter, wife and mother more than she; and there was definitely no one better at it. Graceful to a fault, generous with no limits, she was, truly, and unmistakably, a lady.

In accordance with Dad’s stern warning to us in 1998, there is to be no “graveside nonsense” (of course, he used a more colorful word than “nonsense”). A celebration of life will happen in the spring. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to the National MS Society or the American Brain Foundation.

Elizabeth Ann McNeil passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early morning hours of November 12, 2018. She was 53 years old. Liz was born in Milwaukee, WI on November 14, 1964, to James E. McNeil and Jean (Burdick) McNeil.

Her family moved to Santa Barbara in 1966, when her father worked for Delco. Liz attended Hope School, La Colina Jr. High and San Marcos High, graduating in 1982.

After graduation, she worked in the corporate offices of Motel 6 in Santa Barbara and Dallas, TX, for many years. She then worked for NorTel Networks in Dallas as an Executive Assistant in Global Sales Operations, until her injury in 2001.

Liz was an avid horse woman and lover of animals. Endurance trail rides, camping, snow skiing and water skiing were favorite activities, along with driving fast (preferably with the convertible top down)! Liz was a fun loving soul, who valued her friendships and her family. She believed that what was most important in life was being happy. Any party was definitely more fun if Liz was there!

She is survived by her Father, Mother and five siblings Mary Carralejo (Kevin), Diane Weir (Bob), Jim McNeil (Suzan), Steve McNeil (Rebecca) and Donald McNeil. Liz is further survived by her stepson Troy Wennerstrom (Jenna), two grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. The family will always be grateful to all who loved, cared for, and assisted Liz in her last years.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made in her memory to Jodi House Brain Injury Support Center (www. jodihouse.org), or your favorite charity. A memorial service will be held at McDermott Crockett Mortuary, 2020 Chapala Street, Santa Barbara, on Saturday, November 24 at 10:00 a.m. Burial to follow at Calvary Cemetery in Santa Barbara.

Linda May Maurice 05/03/58-11/10/18

Linda May Maurice entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Saturday, November 10th, 2018, surrounded by family. She was born in Larkspur, California, on May 3, 1958, to Rene and Shirley Maurice. She had four siblings; Laura, Donald, Roger, and Jeanie. She spent her early years in Marin County, then moved to the Santa Barbara area in her mid 20’s. She married Fred Rohrs and gave birth to two beloved sons, Sanfred Marvin and Daniel Henry Rohrs.

Linda loved many things--her

NOVEMBER 21, 2018

family, friends, music, dancing... and most specially, she loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She was a prayer warrior and prayed for her family by name every day.

You could always count on Linda to pray for you, and with you. She was “not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to bring salvation for everyone who believes” --Romans 1:16.

Linda attended many churches on her Christian walk, but it was at Calvary Chapel, Santa Barbara, that her spiritual journey began.

She learned to know and love the power of the Bible through influential pastors Chuck Smith, Ricky Ryan, and Greg Laurie, and through Bible Study Fellowship International.

To know Linda was to love her. She was a unique soul. She didn’t just attend something--she enjoyed, she loved, she rejoiced, and then would proclaim it was “The best time ever!” When you were around Linda, you quickly learned that she would not take part in any negativity. In fact, her positive, contagious energy became a beacon of inspiration. Linda had a keen understanding of the heart. Generosity was her nature.

Up until her last breath, she gave to others. She lived and breathed gratitude in its truest sense.

Linda is survived by her mother, her sons, her sisters and brothers, five nieces and nephews, and a record number of friends. Upon meeting someone new, they would inevitably enter her heart forever.

Although Linda loved to celebrate, her wishes for a memorial were to have only a small family gathering.

As she ended her battle with metastatic breast cancer, she knew and appreciated the love and prayers from the friends she had made in this lifetime. She will be missed immensely.

Nancy Ruth Michelson 10/02/24-10/03/18

On Wednesday, October 3rd, 2018, Nancy Ruth Michelson passed away at age 94. Nancy was born on October 2nd, 1924 in Red Bank, NJ. A lifelong Quaker pacifist, a civil rights activist and Planned Parenthood volunteer, Nancy was committed to making the world a better place. She enjoyed teaching elementary school art, and taught Origami at the Museum of Natural History in New York City. She loved people, and when someone caught the gaze of her smiling blue eyes, their day would be infused with joy.

She will be missed by her daughters Sally and Amy, son-inlaw Joe, and grandsons Sam and Jake.Donations may be sent to Serenity House at vnhcsb.org or Planned Parenthood at plannedparenthood.org

Carolyn Ann Roche 08/05/53-11/09/18

Carolyn Ann Roche, 65, of Santa Barbara, CA passed away on Friday, November 9, 2018 after a heroic two and a half year battle with Cancer. Carolyn was truly a “Princess Warrior” who battled to the end and never gave up. Her mantra was “I can beat this, I am going to be OK”.

Carolyn was born in Waterloo, Iowa on August 5, 1953, a daughter of Kenneth F. May and Helene May. Carolyn is survived by her mother Helene May, her husband of 42 years Theodore K. Roche IV as well as her son Shaun Michael Roche, her daughter Kellie Ann Roche Clenet, son-in-law Damien Clenet and granddaughter Coco May Clenet, all of Santa Barbara, CA. Additional family members that preceded her in death include her father, Kenneth F May, her sister Michelle May and her brother Kevin J. May. Other survivors include her grandson (to be) Cash Clenet, nephews Simon Blanco and Tyler May and niece Joanna Means.

Carolyn is also survived by many grand nieces and nephews, cousins and friends too numerous to mention.

Carolyn was a longtime resident of Santa Barbara. Her Mom & Dad were eager to leave the cold winters of her birthplace in Iowa, and when Carolyn was a very young girl the family moved to California.

They originally settled in Corona, CA and then in 1969 the family moved to Santa Barbara. Carolyn graduated from San Marcos High School in 1971. After high school she first worked at a Doctor’s office where she found her passion for nursing, and the seed was planted which grew into the dream and eventual reality of her becoming a Registered Nurse.

Carolyn was fun loving, a true sun goddess with a beautiful smile who loved the beach and as a young woman enjoyed traveling to Mexico and Hawaii. In 1973 she began a life-long relationship with her soon to be husband, Ted Roche.

They were married in 1977, which began a life-long love story. Carolyn was a fantastic person; a caring wife, a devoted mother to her children, a supportive daughter to her widowed Mother, a life partner and a fiercely loyal friend to many. She was unselfish, always giving and thinking of her children and husband first. Their life together took them to live in many places including Scotland, New Zealand, Alaska and Louisiana, but always coming home to Santa Barbara.

While living in Alaska, Carolyn obtained her Nursing Degree from the University of Alaska Anchorage.

She worked as a Registered

Nurse for almost 20 years working at Providence Hospital in Alaska, Goleta Valley and Cottage Hospitals here in Santa Barbara. She also worked for 12 years at Associated Hand Surgeons here in town.

Ultimately, the most important thing in Carolyn’s heart was her devotion to her family. She was most proud of her son Shaun, daughter Kellie, nephews Simon and Tyler and niece Joanna. They always came first. Carolyn was also a role model and “Hanai” mother to many, many others. She had a big heart and accepted all. Her keen advice and non-judgmental guidance helped numerous friends and family members along the way. Her house was always open to friends and family, and was the location for countless parties and numerous celebrations. When you heard that there was a “party at the Roche’s” you knew it was going to be a good time.

Carolyn will truly be missed by many. While there will forever be a hole in our hearts, and regret for the memories that we were unable to make, we are thankful for the time we spent together and will cherish the many memories we did create.

There will be a Celebration of Carolyn’s Life, open to all, commencing at 2 PM on Sunday, November 18, 2018 located at the Santa Barbara Club, 1105 Chapala Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

Bring your smiles and your love to celebrate a life well lived.

In lieu of flowers we ask that memorial contributions be sent to either of the following charitable organizations: Stand Up for Cancer, St Jude’s or Heal the Ocean.

Jeffrey Allen Rubinstein

At an age when most men would have two decades of retirement under their belts and only dusty memories of their professional glory days, Jim was still working on what he loved, helping humankind explore the far reaches of our cosmos and better measure the condition of our living planet Earth, even as he was losing his own battle with time and gravity itself.

The Santa Barbara Independent’s

ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF OUR FANTASTIC NEIGHBORS

I

n 1986, the first-ever issue of the Santa Barbara Independent was dedicated to showcasing the amazingly selfless people who call Santa Barbara home.

We christened those honorees as our “Local Heroes,” and a Thanksgiving week tradition was born.

Today, 32 years and more than 1,600 issues later, this Local Heroes edition remains our proudest and most meaningful annual achievement. It’s our best effort to remind everyone that, despite the steady drumbeat of bad news, we are surrounded by neighbors who care and who put those cares into concrete action every day.

This year, in the wake of the Thomas Fire and the devastating 1/9 Debris Flow, we were presented with more stories of heroism than we’ve ever seen. So we honored as many of those first and second responders as we could on page 20, knowing that we’d never be able to capture each and every lifesaving and community-recovering tale.

But we also adhered to our usual format of honoring the hard work of people who were not part of those disasters. The Local Heroes class of 2018 features homeless advocates, dancers, lawn bowlers, librarians, grocery store employees, and many more of our neighbors who regularly put the lives and well-being of others in front of their own needs.

We’re proud to shine a light on all of these good works, and we hope that it inspires others to do the same.

T

his is a picture of community. These women and men — and many others not

pictured — took action during and after last winter’s historic Thomas Fire and deadly 1/9 Debris Flow. Among countless acts of heroism and kindness, they saved people, searched for the missing, dug out buried homes, and cared therapeutically for traumatized survivors. Many were professionally trained, ready to do their jobs. Others organized spontaneously in the wake of catastrophic disaster. All were eager to help, rebuild, and maintain the long view that when the mountain comes down, human nature can rise up.

We thank them all for large and small acts of response, rescue, and recovery.

Most were able to gather at Montecito Union School for this photograph.

Charlene Fletcher

Garden Court Guru

W

hen Garden Court holds a musical afternoon, resi-

dents are challenged to name that tune, that hot band, or that famous singer from when they were younger. “No one can just sit back and not participate,” Charlene Fletcher said, as she leaned back and crossed her arms to demonstrate. “All the groups we bring [in] have to have an interactive program that’s 80 percent participation.”

Fletcher’s quicksilver energy has been flowing at the low-income senior residence since she arrived 13 years ago to help her grandmother-in-law for a couple of weeks. She never left. Now the resident services director, Fletcher has made the sunny main room at Garden Court echo with birdsong and the voices of young and talented visitors who liven up the day. Students from high school and college are welcomed for their community service hours, and more than once she’s seen them gain a new grandparent over the weeks.

Fletcher is also the one-stop problem-solver for any resident whose Medicare or Medi-Cal or other paperwork has become troublesome. And if she doesn’t know the answer, she knows someone who will. She’s earned their trust with her warm and levelheaded demeanor, as well as her ability to hold a confidence quietly.

Fletcher enjoys nothing more than relishing a success, as when men discovered the tea party. They weren’t very interested until she mentioned the Western theme, Fletcher recalled. They arrived after digging their Stetsons out of the closet and bolo ties from their drawers and sat down to linen-covered tables laid with porcelain tea sets. “I love my job,” said Fletcher. “I’ve never had a more rewarding job in my life.”

Bud Viard Lawn Bowling Ambassador

M

ore than a quarter century ago, when Bud

Viard was looking for a sport that he could play competitively with his wife, Stephanie Viard, he found the Santa Barbara Lawn Bowls Club. “Lawn bowling is the greatest game,” said Viard of the activity, which is similar to bocce but with a more oblong ball.

“Men, women, young, old — everybody goes out there on an equal footing and has a great time.”

In the 26 years that he’s been a member, Bud Viard, a Hollywood native who moved to Santa Barbara in 1973 after serving in the Coast Guard, has held every volunteer role, including president, and currently sits on the board of directors. Though the club’s membership has dropped from more than 200 to about 125 now, Viard explained that the sport’s popularity is currently growing among all age groups. “We have members as young as 9 and we’ve had members as old as 100, and they’re out there playing against each other,” said Viard, who worked as a bookkeeper for the Peppertree Inn, Chart House, and Nick Rail Music before he retired. “But lawn bowling was the love.”

About six years ago, when he learned that the Special Olympics bocce ball team was practicing on the normal lawn at Mackenzie Park, Viard helped bring the team to the lawn bowling club. The club built three special bocce sets to use, and it now hosts a regional tournament every year as well as the annual training sessions, which have greatly improved the team. For the past five years, Viard has been the coach, and he was named the Santa Barbara Special Olympics Coach of the Year in 2018. “They just love it,” said Viard of the Special Olympics athletes.

Al Sladek

A

Trail Leader

l Sladek shows up. Every Friday at

6 p.m., he steps to the edge of the fountain in front of Santa Barbara Mission to make an announcement. The gathering crowd may be small or large, the weather hot or cold, or somewhere in between. Doesn’t matter if it’s raining or if darkness has already arrived, as it does this time of year. It’s time to hike, and Sladek is calling out this week’s trail, as he has done steadily for the past 44 years, ever since starting this Friday-night offshoot of the Sierra Club’s popular Wednesday-night hikes.

By 6:15 p.m., Sladek — an avid jogger who routinely puts in 25 miles weekly — has encouraged hikers to carpool to the trailhead and hike at their own pace, paired up or in small groups of friends or strangers.

“The important thing,” he said, “is that everybody has somebody to hike with.” And if somebody needs a flashlight, he may have an extra. Sorry, no dogs and no smoking. Westward on the front county, Arroyo Burro Trail may host the night’s hike. Sometimes it’s Romero Canyon. Often, it’s a popular route in between; he has a handful of favorites. “We head up about an hour and a half and turn around,” said the 76-year-old, who ventured from home at 15, served in Vietnam, got an engineering degree from UC Berkeley, and eventually landed at Delco in Goleta.

Coming down the mountain, everybody’s encouraged to regroup for pizza downtown and, once a month, back to the Valle Verde seniorliving community — where Sladek has lived for the past five years — for a potluck and slideshow. “I just enjoy hiking and meeting hiking people,” he said. “It’s just a fun thing to do.”

Christina Songer

Better Lives Through Baseball

V

olunteering is in Christina Songer’s blood. “I grew up in

a really small Texas town with my mom and stepdad, and they instilled a sense of community in us,” she said. “If there was anybody that needed help, we helped them.”

Upon arriving in Santa Barbara in 1995, Songer began volunteering at Cottage Hospital and Domestic Violence Solutions, where she now sits on the board and brings gingerbread house kits to affected families every Thanksgiving. “It provides the family some fun time for the holidays,” she said.

But once she met Bill Pintard, head coach of the S.B. Foresters baseball team, Songer’s charitable works kicked into overdrive. She’s now president of the championship team’s board— board where she was integral in their move from UCSB to Pershing Park— and is deeply involved in the team’s Hugs for Cubs program, which brightens Park the lives of kids with cancer by taking them to sporting events, enlisting them as bat boys/girls, visiting them in the hospital, and much more.

Hugs for Cubs was founded by Bill and his son, Eric Pintard, 23 years ago when Eric was sick with cancer and wanted to help others in his shoes. Though the younger Pintard passed away in 2004, the organization steadily grew. “We’re trying to expand it every year,” said Songer, who admitted the work can be very emotional, especially when kids don’t survive. But even then, said Songer, “We still talk to the parents.

They’re like family.”

It affects the players, too. “Once you’re a Forester, you’re always a Forester,” said Songer. “It’s more than just playing baseball. There’s more to life than just that.

We help them realize that with Hugs for Cubs. A lot of them go back home and they’re changed. They want to bring this sort of thing back to their schools and communities.”

Mary Solis Cancer Center Angel

G

od may or may not actually exist, but angels clearly

do. Mary Solis, a social worker for Ridley-Tree Cancer Center, proves this point. When Solis, now about to retire, started as patient care coordinator for the Cancer Center in 1984, the department consisted of only one desk, one phone, and Solis. Santa Barbara had no pediatric oncology program back then and no support groups. “Zero,” Solis recalled. Now the center offers no fewer than 10 that help patients cope with the challenges ahead or the storm they just weathered. “We go to where the need is,” Solis explained.

Some of the distress patients experience comes from sudden loss of control; a lot boils down to dollars and cents. Even for people with health insurance, the cost of copays for some chemotherapies can be crippling. Every year, Solis and crew tap various nonprofits for hundreds of thousands of dollars to ease patients’ financial burden; every year, they get $2 million in free drugs from the manufacturers themselves. In addition, they make sure staff is trained in how best to intervene with people fighting for their very lives.

Solis grew up in Los Angeles, her father a bricklayer and her mother a homemaker.

With a younger brother who died when she was 7, Solis knew she wanted to pursue a healing path. With a push from a community college guidance counselor, Solis found herself at UCSB and then UC Berkeley for graduate school. During a brief stint out of grad school with Catholic Charities, Solis applied for the grant that resulted in the creation of the Transition House homeless shelter. Little wonder she won a lifetime achievement award from the National Association of Social Workers in 2004. At the Cancer Center, doctors know to call Solis when cases get especially rough. “We call her when the pain is the worst,” said oncologist Fred Kass. “We all have her number on speed dial.”

Melinda Burns Journalist for Life

R

eporter Melinda Burns is seriously addicted to her work. Good thing for Santa Barbara she hasn’t stumbled onto the right 12-Step program. “It’s the best job in the world,” Burns said almost sheepishly, reflecting on the 41 years she’s spent asking questions and writing down answers.

Burns could have easily ascended the journalistic food chain and retired as an editor years ago. Instead, she’s still swinging the pick and shovel, pursuing laborintensive stories that require more time than the 24/7 news cycle affords. “I like to say I specialize in being a generalist,” Burns said. Maybe so, but wherever she digs, deep holes tend to follow. Soft-spoken and deceptively stubborn, Burns will not be hurried.

Her work is detailed and thorough. Her writing is clear and unapologetically sober.

She elevates the journalistic IQ of the South Coast by at least 50 points.

More astonishing, Burns offers her reporting free of charge to all news outlets save for Santa Barbara’s daily newspaper, where she famously once worked. Burns started out as a freelance Latin-American correspondent in the 1970s. By the early 80s, she was covering poker parlors, casinos, and landfills for the Los Angeles Times. She started working for the Santa Barbara News-Press in 1985, right when the New York Times bought the paper, and quickly became an expert in offshore oil production, land-use planning, and anything relating to water and drought. She still is.

When Wendy McCaw bought the News-Press in 2000, Burns would later lead the charge for a newsroom union. She was fired soon after. With her Times pension and Social Security payments, Burns could do lots of other things now. Thankfully, she doesn’t want to. “My heart is in local news,” she said. “I like talking to people. It’s just so interesting.”

This is my community. Here, I am free to discover, learn and do what I love, in the company of good friends. There’s a whole-person approach to wellness—mind, body and spirit. In this beautiful neighborhood, set amid tall pines and just a few miles from the beach, I feel fulfilled, whole.

Shawndel Malcolm Housing Lompoc’s Homeless People

S

hawndel Malcolm’s father fell on tough times upon leaving the U.S. Air

Force and spent a decade homeless on the streets of Lompoc. Malcolm, who graduated from Cabrillo High in 1992, helped his father as much as he could, ensuring that he did have a home for the last 12 years of his life. Today, Malcolm is finding shelter for even more of Lompoc’s sprawling homeless population through Planting a Seed, the organization he started five years ago and incorporated as a nonprofit in 2015.

“We spend a lot of time out in the field just communicating with them, finding out their history, and just giving them that love, showing them that there are people out there who care,” said Malcolm. “Everyone out there wants to be housed, but they’ve been beat up by the system so many times that they don’t trust it anymore.”

On the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, Planting a Seed volunteers are reaching out across the city and in the Santa Ynez River bed, although Malcolm usually hits the streets right after work each day. They also host an annual event called Lompoc Community Connect, in which people who are homeless get free haircuts, meals, clothes, and more services. That event symbolizes how Planting a Seed is the connective tissue between homeless people and the many entities trying to help, including hospitals, detox centers, shelters, veterans’ affairs, and more.

They also furnish the new homes once someone is placed. “The most depressing thing someone faces when being housed is having a roof and then no furniture,” said Malcolm, who has furnished 32 units this year. “They’ll just walk away from their housing.” They stay in touch with each person for at least 18 months, building a stable support network.

Malcolm and his father didn’t speak much about Planting a Seed while he was alive. But when his dad passed away in April 2016, the son did find that he had collected newspaper articles about the work. Said Malcolm, “I have to believe that he was proud.”

Yolanda Medina-Garcia Starr King Star

P

arents frequently ask Yolanda Medina-Garcia whether their preschool

kids are crazy. Almost as often, she’s asked whether the parents themselves might have gone around the bend. For the past 21 years, Medina-Garcia has been calibrating such parental anxieties — comical only in hindsight — while running the show at the Starr King Parent-Child Workshop, now celebrating its 70th year answering these increasingly pressing questions.

In person, Medina-Garcia is both nurturing and authoritative; she’s warm, calm, and in charge.

The child of a preschool teacher herself, Medina-Garcia is all about helping parents understand what they can reasonably expect from their kids and how to help realize those expectations. It’s a tricky balance. Parents need to allow their kids the freedom to learn on their own terms through undirected play. But clear boundaries must also be set. “Parents are so fearful,” Medina-Garcia said.

“Some parents confuse being friends with their kids for being the guide their kids need through childhood. Kids are real. They need you to be direct.”

Starr King offers a stunningly idyllic space for parents and children to absorb these life lessons.

The play area includes a specially engineered creek gurgling with recycled water, a sand box that won’t quit, and a gloriously bulbous grass knoll to climb and slide down. But it’s the warp and weave of its social infrastructure that really sets Starr King apart. Parents aren’t merely encouraged to get involved; it’s part of the deal. There are the famous Monday-night meetings, two-hour tutorials on child development theory translated into very real-world practice. There are the mandatory work shifts where parents apply what they’ve learned. And, of course, there are the campouts and annual fundraising rummage sales for which Starr King has become famous. Starr King doesn’t offer opportunities for what social scientists like to call “accidental community.” At Starr King, it’s totally intentional. And it’s worked. Friendships struck at Starr King frequently last a lifetime. At a time when extended families are shrinking and single-parent households are expanding, this is a magical gift.

PAL Officers Adrian Gutierrez and Bryan Kerr Teen Center’s Best Friends

T

he city’s Teen Center, run in conjunction with the Police Activities League (PAL), is a

way station for kids headed home after a long day at school. It features snacks, a pool table, musical instruments, and tutoring, but what everyone enjoys the most is when officers Adrian Gutierrez or Bryan Kerr drop in. Far from being intimidating, uniformwearing, gun-on-hip cops, the two are warm and genuine and are always willing to sit down for a listen.

“Once an officer shuns them, they never come back,” Gutierrez said, a substantial man, clearly attuned to the feelings of those around him. He’s the big guy near the door at public events, where he’s sometimes found his friendly hello to lead to long conversations with a young person at the end of their tether. That empathy is what attracted Kerr to policing; he was the “civilian” program leader at the Teen Center when the two met.

Kerr has always liked working with kids, but until he saw Gutierrez in action, hanging out with the kids and being himself, he hadn’t considered becoming a police officer. “He’s an example of a good leader,” Gutierrez said of Kerr, whom the kids tease for his love of old movies and scary stories, but whom they also feel to be a trustworthy father figure.

“He’s really competitive, too,” everyone insisted, cracking up as they recounted dodgeball games or log-rolling competitions during camping trips with Kerr hollering that they “better do better than that!”

Gutierrez has made the Teen Center part of his week for 14 years, but Kerr is rotating out to new duties with the police department. Because they’ll miss him so much, the staff and kids made a life-size photo cutout of Kerr. It sometimes looms out of nowhere unexpectedly, so he’s still getting the last word.

Tere Jurado Activist Extraordinaire

T

ere Jurado is a household name in the Latino community— community

not only because she worked as a radio personality for Radio Bronco and La Preciosa for 18 years, but because she has unofficially become everyone’s go-to person when they find themselves in tough situations. “I still receive calls often,” said Jurado.

Jurado, originally from Mexico City, came to Santa Barbara in 1989 and has lived here since. Almost immediately she jumped into activism, cofounding Mujeres Unidas, a group of 10 Latina activists, in 1992 and working as a training coordinator for De Mano a Mano, a Latino helpline under the Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center. Since then, she’s started Latinos Unidos y Activos and has been a boardmember of PUEBLO, CAUSE, CLUE, and Casa de la Raza, and is a well-known and trusted organizer in activist circles.

Jurado currently sits on the Santa Barbara Mariachi Festival board.

Of her myriad community activism, her greatest joy was the 17 years she spent working as a Family Advocate at Franklin Elementary School. There she connected families with necessary resources — after-school programs, food-assistance programs, parenting classes, and more. Her reputation for getting things done drew people well beyond the school to reach out to her when they needed support for anything from leaving abusive relationships to getting enough food on the table. Jurado used her reach as a radio host to share information about programs and resources with the broader community.

For 11 years, in addition to her activism, Jurado has worked four jobs seven days a week. “When you’re an immigrant, you have to work harder for things,” she said. Jurado has dedicated countless hours to activism to make life easier for the Santa Barbara community. “I’m just contributing my grain of sand so our community can have a better life,” said Jurado.

Luis Prado Supermarket Courtesy Clerk

L

uis Prado has worked as a courtesy clerk at the Ralph’s on Carrillo Street for more than 15 years. Armed with a sly sense of humor and an easy smile, Prado collects carts, loads groceries into cars, and tends to duties inside and outside the store, such as filling in where needed and always finding time to say hello. Luis, who moved with his family to Santa Barbara from Guadalajara, Mexico, in the ’90s, said his favorite part of his job is that “even though I am disabled, I love that I can be physical and keep moving. The people are so nice, and sometimes I cry because they tell me I am doing a good job,” he added.

Prado is admired by his coworkers and store manager, who said that customers constantly praise Prado for his good mood and honorable work ethic. When asked what he thought about all these people admiring and appreciating his hard work, Prado said, “I’m grateful.” Despite his physical limitations, Prado has a bright outlook on life and his job, which makes the hardworking cart wizard an inspiration as he makes life easier for 4,200 daily customers without most of them even knowing.

Lynn Houston Queen of the Skies

G

rowing up, Lynn Houston had it good. Her loving, supportive

parents told her she could do anything. A wanderer at heart, she left home early to carve her own destiny free of parental expectations and requirements, eventually touching down in Hollywood as a set photographer. Then an African safari shoot from a small plane inspired her to pursue life on the wing. Horizons opened. She trained. She became an airline pilot. She moved to Santa Barbara. She felt fortunate and grateful. So she decided to give back.

In 2011, Houston launched A Different Point of View, an aviation-based nonprofit to help at-risk teenagers to literally see the world— world and their place in it — from a new perspective. Since then, the program has helped 500 young women and men, ages 14-19, from Lompoc to the South Coast to Oxnard. Many of them had struggled in school and become entangled in the juvenile justice system. “We tell them, ‘Your life matters, and the decisions you make matter,’ ” says Houston, who recently passed the torch as the nonprofit’s CEO to return to her roots in singing and songwriting. “It’s a leadership program that expands into all realms of their lives.”

As they go through the program, there’s meditation, healthy food, study, and liftoff. The teens learn new skills. They meet inspirational leaders in firefighting and law enforcement. They discover lots of doors to careers they never knew existed. And, of course, they learn to fly. Along the way, they’re told that they’re loved and that they can do anything. “The important thing to me is when they make a point of telling me that they’ve done something they were afraid of,” Houston says. “The heroes here are all 500 teens.”

Nancy Gifford Inspirational Artist and Collector

N

ancy Gifford grew up on a farm, but you’d never mistake

her for a farm girl. Throughout a successful career as a model, she pursued her interest in contemporary art with unstoppable passion, making work of her own, studying and collecting the work of others, and connecting with people over art. It’s a skill that she and her husband, Michael Gifford, brought to Santa Barbara from England, where they lived in the 1990s, by way of Miami, where Nancy helped jump-start the city’s legendary arts district in Wynwood.

When the couple arrived in Santa Barbara a decade ago, they moved into a striking modern house on Sycamore Canyon Road in Montecito that was perfectly suited to displaying art.

What happened next turned heads and opened hearts among the artists and poets of Santa Barbara, as Gifford proceeded to assemble and show an unprecedented collection of work by living contemporary artists from the area. At the same time, Gifford used the home’s industrial-size studio space to dig deep into her own imaginative resources to create “Lament,” a monumental wall sculpture made of books that is an homage to the era of print. The piece was first shown at the MCA Santa Barbara and then at UCSB’s new library as part of their opening celebration. A short film based on the work, Imaginary Novels, has gone to 20 festivals and collected more than a dozen awards.

The group shows Gifford curated for Lotusland, Flock and Swarm, were breakthrough events that kicked off a new era of commitment to contemporary art at the gardens. Thanks to her tireless efforts on behalf of MCA Santa Barbara and the Arts Fund, the city has been a much richer and more beautiful place.

Rosalina Macisco Taking Dance into Schools

N

othing communicates the joy of childhood more directly than dance, and no one in Santa Barbara County is responsible for getting more young people up and moving to music than Rosalina Macisco. The indefatigable founding director of the Santa Barbara Dance Institute organizes and implements in- and after-school programs on more than a dozen campuses throughout the region. Since 2005, she has been advocating for dance as a core element in the weekly curriculum at Solvang Elementary, César Chávez Charter School, Adelante Charter School, and many more.

Raised in Scarsdale, New York, and educated at Fordham University, Macisco danced on Broadway for 15 years before entering the Teaching Artist training program of the National Dance Institute. She credits NDI and its founder, Jacques d’Amboise, with planting the seed that has since flourished here. Her organization reaches hundreds of students every year, and its programs begin as early as the 2nd grade. The young members of her Super Wonderful and Talented (SWAT) teams learn a style of dance that integrates hip-hop moves with elements of street jazz and pedestrian movement, all set to the throbbing beats of contemporary hits.

The formula has proved highly successful, and each year, more children and their families gather at the Marjorie Luke Theatre for SBDI’s annual Event-of-the-Year performances. These shows, which often feature more than 300 students, are written, choreographed, directed, and produced by Macisco and her team. Each production has an original theme and story line, and all are written to reflect the experiences of the students who perform in them. According to Macisco, dance “can help students become better citizens,” and no one who has ever seen the smiling faces in one of SBDI’s shows could possibly doubt that claim.

Claude Dorais Lighting Up the World

A

t 69 years old, Claude Dorais isn’t slowing down. In fact,

he’s speeding up. Between long recumbent-bike rides around the county, the recently retired attorney hustles among three volunteer jobs. His Habitat for Humanity gig has him digging trenches, hauling rock, and pouring concrete for a Carpinteria housing project. At the Red Cross, he helps oversee logistics and a fundraising effort to buy a new emergency response vehicle. And for Unite to Light, as the nonprofit’s cofounder and a current boardmember, Dorais is an ambassador for the solar lamps and charger packs it distributes all over the world to people without access to electricity.

During his tenure as Unite to Light’s first president, Dorais helped distribute more than 50,000 lights, and since then the organization has given out 50,000 more across more than 70 countries, including Somaliland, Haiti, and South Africa. The lamps are used by children to read and study, disaster survivors when electricity is down, and doctors and midwives in rural clinics or at remote homes. The small and nimble organization partners with the Rotary Club and Direct Relief to reach their recipients, and Dorais — along with Unite to Light’s other founder, UCSB materials researcher John Bowers — is constantly working to improve their hardware.

Dorais likes to help his Santa Barbara neighbors, too. He picks oranges for a 90-year-old woman on his street and recently helped an elderly man up the block survive a life-threatening incident. He’s not sure the title “hero” fits him, though. “I’m just an average person,” he said. “It’s just fun to make the world a better place.”

Ken Ralph Clean Starts

K

en Ralph and his wife went looking for like-minded

liberal folks when they moved from Seattle to Santa Barbara 20 years ago. Though nonreligious, they found their cohorts at the Unitarian Society, and in 2016, Ralph met Isla Vista street minister Reverend Doug Miller, who founded Showers of Blessing, a small organization that had converted a large trailer into a mobile bathing facility for homeless people. Ralph helped Miller get permission to bring the trailer into Santa Barbara, and when Miller was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Ralph took over as manager.

Miller has since passed away— a plaque affixed to the trailer commemorates his work— and Ralph has expanded Showers of Blessings to seven sites throughout the city. This year alone, they will provide more than 7,000 10-minute showers to hundreds of homeless people, offering them free soap, shampoo, socks, and underwear as well. The idea is to help restore in them a sense of dignity, Ralph said, “and make them realize it’s worth it to take care of themselves.” Clients can volunteer to clean and hand out supplies and even join a stipend program. “It gives them an anchor, makes them feel part of a team,” Ralph said. “Telling them you need their help builds their self-respect.”

In the coming weeks, a second trailer donated by St. Andrews Church will join their fleet, which operates under the Interfaith Initiative of Santa Barbara and is kept on the road on a shoestring budget. Ralph has dreams of one day growing large enough to reach North County and coordinating with other homeless service providers, because a nice, hot shower may be that small but critical first step to getting a person back on their feet, he said. “You step out of the shower, and you feel a little better about yourself.”

Rick Feldman

O

A Sight for Sore Eyes

ne out of every four children requires some form of eye

care, but half of their families can’t afford it. Enter Rick Feldman, owner of the Eyeglass Factory. Twenty-six years ago, soon after he moved to Santa Barbara from New England and opened the Eyeglass Factory’s Milpas Street location, Feldman hosted his first Kids Day, where children received a free eye exam and pair of glasses. More than 200 families showed up to food and entertainment, and the kids were handed high-quality sets that Feldman made sure were hip enough to withstand the scrutiny of the schoolyard. He’s hosted a Kids Day before Christmas every year since, except in 2017, when the Thomas Fire forced him to cancel.

But the disappointment turned into light-bulb moment. Feldman’s company, with stores also in Ventura and Camarillo, now offers kids who can’t afford them free glasses year-round. They just have to be under 18 and explain to an employee: “I am a student and need help.” Vision problems can be a major impediment to a child’s success in school. “There’s nothing more important than the health and well-being of our children,” he explained. “But how can you be expected to learn if you can’t read the chalkboard?”

Last September, Feldman extended the giveaway to the Carpinteria Unified School District. With kids and grandkids of his own, he’s cognizant of the young’s rough-and-tumble lifestyle, so he always offers to replace a lost or broken pair, also for free. It’s a source of pride for him and his employees, who are regularly thanked by appreciative parents. “We’re thrilled to be in the position to do this,” said Feldman.

“We’re very fortunate to give back to the community we love.”

Jace Turner Star Librarian

J

ace Turner has had a long relationship with the

Santa Barbara Library system. Born and raised here, the avid reader was a regular visitor to the central branch growing up; in his early twenties, he applied to be a page, helping shelve books and the like.

Enchanted by the people and the place, Turner decided that he wanted to make a career as a librarian. So he went back to university and got a degree in library science; he was hired as a full-time librarian at the Central Library in 2005 and has never looked back.

The job of librarian goes much deeper than knowing how to shelve books or find them in the catalog— catalog they must understand the community and subsequently how to offer them what they need. “That is an important distinction,” he explained. “The library is this place that is open to everyone, and we want to make sure that we are providing not only the resources, but also helping people make the connection in the community. We know how to create the space, we know how to publicize it, we know how to market it, and so those are skills that you use and that you learn.”

After 20 years with the library, Turner still enjoys an effervescent enthusiasm for his work. In fact, “the passion becomes more acute,” he said, of his career. “We have a space for almost every activity and that’s responding to community needs. What does the community want? Let’s modify this space so it provides the resource they need. That’s the exciting thing about being a librarian — our jobs are always evolving.”

SHELTER IS A BASIC HUMAN NEED Shelter is a determinant for survival in most disasters: essential for safety, security, and protection from extreme weather. It contributes to maintaining good health and resistance to disease.

It provides privacy, restores human dignity, and sustains family and community life, enabling affected populations to begin the process of recovery.

There are more people displaced in our world today than ever before and the number grows larger every day. Many of them struggle to meet their basic needs for food, water and shelter.

A CORNERSTONE PARTNERSHIP ShelterBox is Rotary International’s only project partner in disaster response.

This partnership can be a powerhouse during emergency response efforts.

Rotary provides deep, local knowledge and community connections that enable ShelterBox to move faster and more safely to identify the most vulnerable and in-need families.

Rotarians across the world support ShelterBox in many ways – from raising funds to assisting on the ground. ShelterBox has received support from several clubs across Santa Barbara County, enabling the delivery of life-saving aid in times of crisis.

LOCAL TO GLOBAL SANTA BARBARA - A GLOBAL COMMUNITY

“AN EVENING TO EXPERIENCE SHELTERBOX” In September, hundreds of local people attended the ShelterBox event hosted by John McGovern at his estate in Santa Barbara.

From local business leaders and philanthropists, volunteers from Yardi and San Marcos High School AAPLE Academy students, to dozens of local Rotarians, the community rallied around the lifesaving work of ShelterBox. The evening featured interactive demonstrations with ShelterBox tents and equipment from ShelterBox Response Team members who have deployed around the world, highlighting how the aid makes a difference in the lives of people who have lost everything in a disaster.

Donations received at the event were matched by the Zegar Family Foundation. David Jackson of the Zegar family told the audience how his own family’s experience of being displaced during the Thomas Fire and debris flow caused them to feel closer to the ShelterBox mission.

“We felt the uncertainty of not knowing where we’d find shelter, but our suffering was brief.

We want to give those who are not so lucky a chance at survival.”- David Jackson (Zegar Family Foundation) Pictured above, Chuck & Merryl Zegar with son David, grandson, Hunter Jackson, and Kerri Murray, President of ShelterBox USA.

Recycling

COURTESY

From Plastic Bag to Composite Lumber anta Barbara has stopped accepting thinfilm plastics everywhere except at one spot: Ablitt’s Fine Cleaners & Launderers. With every freshly cleaned item covered in a plastic bag, Ablitt’s has been baling up the stuff since 2010, along with plastic film, bubble wrap, and other soft plastics. Owner Sasha Ablitt said it’s been a beneficial relationship with Trex of Virginia: Trex needs the polyethylene to produce its artificial wood decking, and Ablitt’s is making Santa Barbara a little greener.

From Ablitt’s at 14 West Gutierrez Street, the bales go to Colton, California, for collection, and end up at the Trex manufacturing plant in Nevada. There, the composite lumber decking is made with 97 percent recycled material. The plastics must be clean and dry, both Ablitt and Trex emphasized. Cross-contamination with food particles, other organic matter, or rigid plastics can spoil a batch. But “grocery bags, dry cleaning bags, newspaper bags, stretch film, shrink wrap” can all be recycled by Trex, said buyer Nick Candela. “And we’re always looking for more.”

emale monarch butterfly B6679 made history last summer when she became the first known migrant from the Pacific Northwest to reproduce alongside the winter breeding population of monarchs in Southern California.

The finding was recently reported by entomologist Dr. David James in the Journal of the Lepidopterists’ Society. “Typically fall migrating butterflies do not reproduce when they reach their winter roosts in California,” he said.

In August 2017, Akimi King, a Fish and Wildlife biologist stationed at the agency’s Klamath Falls office up in Oregon, found monarch butterfly eggs in her home garden. Since the monarch survival rate in the wild is less than 2 percent, King collected and raised the larvae indoors until, a month later, two butterflies emerged, a male and a female.

King affixed small coded tags provided by James on the lower wing U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologist Akimi King with one of the monarchs she raised, tagged, and released of each and set them free.

After Accident, Foodbank Donations Needed

T

he Foodbank of Santa Barbara County is asking for donations after a traffic accident derailed its holiday season operations. The October 15 incident destroyed one of the nonprofit’s refrigerated food trucks and all of its contents, which threw the planned distribution of 3,000 turkeys in time for Thanksgiving feasts into uncertainty.

The losses totaled $145,000. “Losing a truck as useful as ‘Old Reliable’ at this time poses a real impediment to meeting the needs of those facing hunger in our community,” said Foodbank Director of Operations Paul Wilkins. To donate, visit foodbanksbc.org. foodbanksbc.org — Indy Staff

Del Playa’s Jesus Burgers: WHERE RELIGION MEETS MEAT

Y

YUNNAN YUM: To produce her first cookbook, author Georgia Freedman and her husband, photographer Josh Wand, scoured China ’s Yunnan province over the course of many years, learning traditional techniques, discovering exotic ingredients, and telling intimate stories of how food is central to life there.

order a hamburger. What about a side of blessings instead?

That’s the meal deal with Jesus Burgers, which is simultaneously an address, a weekly event, and a group of people dedicated to serving hungry Isla Vistans. Run by the youth group of Mission Isla Vista, the house on the 6700 block of Del Playa Drive serves up steaming-hot burgers every Friday night for free. That’s made the place a hotspot in Isla Vista, where plenty of weekend revelers are ready for a burger after Friday-night beers. What most hungry attendees don’t know is the rich history and tight-knit community behind the Del Playa Mission Isla Vista Hands Out phenomenon.

Jesus Burgers dates back to 2001, when the youth group from Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara came to the streets of

BY BAILEY EMANUELS Isla Vista to pray for the youth. No one wanted prayer, so the undeterred group returned—this time with hot dogs. Eventually, the group switched to burgers, reorganized under the Mission Isla Vista name, and set up permanent shop at the Del Playa residence, which has now been theirs for 17 years.

A typical Friday night for the church group starts at 8 p.m. The 14 residents of the house and another 50 members of the youth group gather to worship and play music, much of which they write themselves. At 10 p.m., they start grilling burgers. Students from Westmont College in Montecito often take on the duty of the traditional ketchup and mustard patterns. For as long as anyone in the group can remember, the buns have always been decorated with a cross of mustard and a heart of ketchup — a subtle gesture, but one that’s had a major impact on thousands of burgers served.

It’s easy to assume that many nonreligious, inebriated college kids would take advantage of the group’s goodwill.

Yet many, both sober and drunk, end up staying longer, hanging out by the fire pit, playing music, or even going inside to strike up conversation. This is how their community has grown: with openness and kindness to everyone.

Of course, there are sometimes very intoxicated people who stumble in, and the Jesus Burgers house is always ready with a plethora of burgers and designated “puke buckets.” Altogether, the Del Playa house serves as a safe haven for all, giving out hugs, allowing anyone to use their restroom, and offering rides home.

Across the street is where the sides of blessings are served. Easily identified with a “Free Blessing” sign, the pop-up tent serves as the place where the group spreads their word of God. The people of Isla Vista are familiar with the tent, with even those who do not believe in Jesus often coming in with open arms.

“This is what Jesus would have done in a sense,” said Junior Joseph, a three-year resident of the house, “sharing bread with others.” n See jesusburgers.org.

An adventurous eater used to spice—thanks in part to growing up in jalapeño-laden California — Freedman didn’t run into many dishes that she didn’t like. “I try to avoid dog,” she said, explaining that it was a rare offering and she only ate it once. “And I am not such a fan of bee larva. But deep-fried honeybees with deep-fried mint leaves are delicious—they’re crunchy, and they taste like honey.”

Though the book is focused on plate and place, it is really Freedman’s treatment of the many people she meets that push Cooking South of the Clouds into a much more readable category than simply a recipe collection. “I wanted to make sure that everyone I was working with was really happy to share recipes in the context of a book — that’s important to me,” she said.

They have learned from guidebooks or friends—like if we all knew about Cincinnati chili or that you come to California to find avocados.”

And the locals are very proud of their regional cuisines. “That’s one of the first things that a taxi driver asks, “Do you like the food here? Does it suit you?’” explained Freedman. “Everybody was really thrilled to be sharing their foods and to find that foreigners were also interested.”

Today, as much of China homogenizes due to globalization, many communities are even trained to show off their traditional foods, dances, and customs. That allows them to make money closer to home, rather than at faraway factories, and promotes cultural preservation, which is one of the Communist Party’s founding tenets. Said Freedman of this display of ethnic pride, “It is not a subversive act so long as it’s part of celebrating China.”

Despite that openness, there were innate challenges to the project, both in the ways that people cooked — like on close-burning charcoal grills that aren’t what we find in the U.S. —and even more so in the ingredients, many of which simply do not exist here. There were actually “hundreds of recipes” that she couldn’t use. For instance, said Freedman, “There are a

Kaitlyn Mayse stars in the titular role of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella.

TAKES THE STAGE

THEATER LEAGUE PRESENTS THE BROADWAY VERSION OF THIS CLASSIC TALE

T

he Cinderella story has its roots in 7 bce Greece, but the most wellknown European rendition is Charles Perrault’s Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper, which was published in 1697 in a volume of stories known familiarly as Les Contes de ma mère l’Oye (Stories of Mother Goose). Since then, the universal story has been refashioned for myriad formats, including film, television, and the stage. Cinderella, her adorable animal friends, and the tune “Bibbidi-BobbidiBoo” remain iconic today.

In 2013, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella made its Broadway debut. With a rewritten book courtesy of Douglas Carter Beane, the production had a successful run through January 2015, spawning a national tour in 2014. The popular musical has been staged across the country ever since and will be alighting in Santa Barbara November 27-28. Presented by the Theater League, the organization that brings Broadway favorites to the Granada, the show’s previews (which you can see at youtu.be/5G81B9Ge3Pk) attest to this rendition’s vapor, lighting, and magical wonder.

Carter Beane’s modern script promises characters with depth, including Cinderella, the prince, and even the evil stepsisters. “They have twisted the story,” said Kaitlyn Mayse, who plays Ella in the Theater League’s production. The thriving young actress now lives her dream at 25 years old. She moved to New York after graduating Indiana University to pursue her passion for acting and has advanced by leaps and bounds professionally. Amid her country tour and hectic rehearsal schedule, Mayse managed to squeeze in a lighthearted interview with the Santa Barbara Independent. The following is an edited interview with Mayse about the Broadway production and her role as Ella.

When did you start developing an interest in performing and how did it evolve?

I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Dancing was the first gateway into [performing], which I started when I was 4. My aunt worked at a high school in St. Louis, and they needed one more munchkin in The Wizard of Oz production. They had me come in and fill out the cast, and I immediately caught the bug.

As I progressed, I had to start making choices; I stopped playing softball and soccer so I could go to acting classes after school. I started voice lessons when I was in 7th grade. I ended up going to Indiana University and got my BFA in musical theater [as well as] a dance certificate. From there, I moved to New York City.

What was your auditioning process? Since you were previously Cinderella’s understudy, was it a natural progression to her role? No, actually, that’s usually not the case.

An ensemble member who knows other tracks as an understudy [is] actually more valuable because you can do several different things instead of just the one. So, when I had expressed interest in doing the role, they said, “Well, we’ll see. You can audition.” It wasn’t just a “Here you go.” They still had auditions in New York for the role when I was out on tour. Luckily, I had a scheduled performance as Ella in New Jersey. … So our company producers, directors, and choreographers came out to see me. That show was my audition, which I think was the most stressful audition of my life. But I guess it went better than I thought. [Laughs.]

COURTESY

CINDERELLA

How does this production of Cinderella differ from other versions before it? This production that we’re touring currently is the new Broadway production that went up in 2013. So there’s a new book by Douglas Carter Beane and new orchestration. All the songs are Rodgers and Hammerstein’s songs. All of the songs that were in the 1957 Julie Andrews television broadcast are in the show, but we’ve added more.

Because that broadcast is about an hour long and this is a full-length musical.

So they had to go back into the archives and dig out what they call trunk songs — which are songs that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote at one point. So some of the songs in the show were cut from shows like South Pacific.

I think what differs most is the [new] book. They have twisted the story. There are new characters. There are new, fleshedout relationships. The prince is not just a prince. Cinderella is not just a meek girl.

Even the stepmother, the sisters — everyone has more to give in this show. There are some twists and turns and new plot, but I don’t want to give anything away.

— Priscilla Leung

What was your concept of Cinderella before you had this role? How has it changed? We all grow up with this idea of Cinderella as a woman who needs to be saved. And that it’s sort of an outdated story. But the thing that shines through in all of the fairy tales,

regardless of the version, [is her] kindness.

And her kindness is what gets her far in life. That’s something that really sticks out to me and something that I really reinvested into the role once I took it on.

We are lucky that Douglas Carter did rewrite a new book for the show. In this version, [Cinderella] has more of a story to tell. She has more drive and ambition and is her own person. She’s not a door-mat. Just because she’s kind does not mean she lets people walk over her or that she doesn’t have her own dreams and aspirations. It’s a fine line. It’s hard to play sometimes, and I’ve had to look at [it] again and again.

Lit Moon brings Tennessee Williams’s classic to Center Stage.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE

Here’s a tip for aspiring thespians: See all the Glass Menageries you can. Somewhat overshadowed by the notoriety of A Streetcar Named Desire during playwright Tennessee Williams’s lifetime, the Menagerie has come into its own in this century as both his most frequently produced script and perhaps the greatest American play of all time. There’s something so breathtakingly perfect about the formal structure, the exquisite balance between the two acts, that gives it the potential for overwhelming emotional impact.

That said, it helps if you happen to catch a great production, and, inevitably, not all of them are. Which brings us to the excellent Lit Moon Theatre Company version, a revival of which plays at Center Stage Theater November 29-December 2. Don’t go expecting a traditional approach. Director John Blondell has taken Williams at his word when it comes to the label he put on the show, which is a “memory play.” Tom, the male lead, is usually played by an actor in his late twenties or early thirties — the age that the character is in these memories. The Lit Moon version features company member Stan Hoffman in the role, and he’s in his seventies.

While the initial effect may be disconcerting, the decision gathers emotional steam as the evening progresses. According to Blondell, it’s an attempt to “capture the way that memory works” by filtering the play’s events through “the perceptions of different characters at different points in time.”

The result does remarkable justice to a true monument of the American canon. See it and bring your theater friends; you may not all agree, but the conversation afterward will go on long into the night.

LOS TIGRES DEL NORTE PLAY AT CHUMASH CASINO O

ne of my most salient memories of growing up involves being outdoors with my family as my father grilled carne asada with potatoes while Los Tigres del Norte’s song “Jefe de Jefes” (“Boss of Bosses”) blared through portable speakers. Through music and my family, I have come to realize that there are few things more Californian than the experience of being a working-class immigrant from Latin America. In fact, the immigration experience is written into the very name of the band Los Tigres del Norte.

On a temporary visa, bandleader Jorge Hernández and his brothers were on their way to San Jose, California, when they first entered the United States in 1968. To help support their families, they had been vagabonding between their hometown of Rosa Morada in Sinaloa, Mexico, to the port city Los Mochis, and as far away as Mexicali to play norteño music for small change inside clubs and restaurants. In a stroke of luck, Jorge, the eldest of the brothers, who was 22 years old at the time, was contracted to play with the then-unnamed band for the Hispanic inmates of Soledad, a prison about 60 miles south of San Jose. At the border crossing, an immigration agent, impressed with the group’s youth and ambition, called the group of musicians “little tigers.” The moniker stuck, and Los Tigres del Norte, or Tigers of the North, has since become one of the most influential bands in Latin America as well as the Spanish-speaking community of the U.S. Los Tigres are made up of brothers Jorge, Hernán, Eduardo, and Luis Hernández, and their cousin Oscar Lara. Characterized by the accordion and the six-string bass, their music is a mixture of norteño, corrido, cumbia, bolero, rock, and modern polka music. In the tradition of norteño music, the ensemble performs socially conscious songs that intimately portray the lives of the working class. “All of our songs are about real stories that occur in our communities,” said Jorge, who is the band’s lead vocalist and accordion player. Often referred to as the “voice of the pueblo,” Los Tigres del Norte address in several songs the enduring hardships that Latin

BAND PERFORMS SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS SONGS PORTRAYING LIVES OF WORKING CLASS

menudo referida como la “voz del pueblo”, Los Tigres del Norte abordan en varias canciones las dificultades que enfrentan los inmigrantes latinoamericanos cuando entran a los Estados Unidos, en particular, la ambivalencia que se deriva de tener que navegar una identidad dual como Mexicano y americano. “¿De qué me sirve el dinero?”, pregunta la letra de una canción sobre un inmigrante indocumentado, “si estoy como prisionero dentro de esta gran nación?”

En una carrera que ha durado más de cuatro décadas, Los Tigres del Norte ha lanzado más de 50 álbumes y grabado más de 500 canciones. Han ganado un amplio reconocimiento e innumerables premios, incluidos siete Grammys y ocho Latin Grammys. En medio de un ambiente político cada vez más hostil para los inmigrantes, especialmente los de México y América Central, el trabajo de Los Tigres del Norte no podría ser más oportuno. “Hay canciones que grabamos hace 30 años que hablan sobre temas [de la comunidad latina] que aún persisten hasta hoy”, dijo Jorge.“Me hace darme cuenta del poco progreso que hemos logrado”.

Después de décadas de narración y activismo, Los Tigres siguen siendo la conciencia, así como los documentalistas, de la turbulenta historia del país en lo que respecta a la inmigración de América Latina. Ahora con 65 años, Jorge Hernández ve la promesa en los jóvenes que podrían promulgar cambios para la comunidad que habla español. “Tenemos una gran esperanza de que los jóvenes, especialmente aquellos que pueden hablar inglés y español con fluidez, asuman roles de liderazgo dentro de la política y la sociedad latinoamericana”, el dijo.

Por su parte, “Los Jefes de Jefes” de la música norteña continuarán contando las historias de los oprimidos y sin voz para “traer alegría a la comunidad y continuar avanzando”. En febrero 2019, Los Tigres del Norte lanzarán un album nuevo.“Es un álbum muy hermoso que toca temas muy mexicanos”, dijo Jorge. “Estoy seguro de que tocaremos muchos corazones”. Mis papas, inmigrantes mexicanos que cruzan de Tecate, México a San Diego, California cada fin de semana, no se perderán el concierto de Los Tigres Del Norte cuando toquen este 29 y 30 de Noviembre en El Casino Chumash.

NOW SHOWING O The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (133 mins., R)

Part of the charm of the almost mythic Coen brothers’ cinematic “brand” involves tending a signature style, even while exploring new ideas each time out. Enter The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the brothers’ first anthology film, their best since Inside Llewyn Davis, and a Netflix-ed film in sync with the new Era of the TV Serial. The Wild West is the operative turf here, from different angles: the sharp-dressed Buster Scruggs (Tim Blake Nelson), quick on the rhetoric and the draw; a wagontrain love-and-death vignette; a strongand-silent gold rush narrative (with grizzly Tom Waits); and an all-talk sequence encounter in a stagecoach. It adds up to that good ol’ yet new-fangled Coen bros. magic, evoking Disney gone awry, and just plain wry. (JW) Riviera (Ends Fri., Nov. 22)

O Beautiful Boy

(120 mins., R)

As the American drug epidemic reaches unprecedented heights, director Felix van Groeningen’s Beautiful Boy, which draws from the memoirs of real fatherson pair David and Nic Sheff, feels impassioned and timely. Largely angled from a parent’s viewpoint, it follows journalist David Sheff (Steve Carell) as he watches his teenage son, Nic (Timothée Chalamet), slip into methamphetamine addiction. David desperately harnesses all of his investigative journalist skills and all of his fatherly intuition to protect his son. However, after cyclical rehabilitations and stomach-churning relapses, it becomes dreadfully obvious that Nic may be beyond his father’s reach. Throughout somewhat obscure episodic flashbacks, Chalamet is beautifully devastating as he toes the line between a young man in the throes of crystal meth dependency and a thoughtful kid yearning to live and love like he once did. His performance keeps the movie stitched together when its thread runs thin. The film raises questions it infuriatingly dances around (exactly how did Nic get addicted, for example?), but there is a power that lies in the film’s refusal to resolve the whys and hows and what-nows of a prevalent but stigmatized disease: There simply are no clear answers. Underlined by an aptly genre-bending soundtrack and the poignant recitation of a Charles

“INTIMATE, UNABASHEDLY REVERENTIAL” – RO L L I N G S TO N E . C O M

Camino Real (2D)/Metro 4 (2D)

(134 mins., PG-13)

Telling the tale of a beloved rock-androll enigma, especially one so notoriously private, is a daunting task, but Bohemian Rhapsody tackles Freddie Mercury’s legendary story with flourish and fervor. Admittedly, the film adopts a convenient plot line ripe with meet-cutes and oversimplifications of Mercury’s complex relationship with his family and background. It struggles the most in addressing the often-discussed queerness of Mercury’s life, at times teetering toward bi-erasure and a lessthan-delicate portrayal of AIDS. While these issues may sound alarms with diehard Queen fans and the LGBTQ community, they fortunately do little to detract from the film’s grand instances of homage, which boast meticulous visuals and uncanny performances.

Rami Malek shines as the shy yet vivacious Queen frontman and is spellbindingly convincing during both Mercury’s loneliest hours and explosive moments on some of the world’s biggest stages.

The rest of the casting deserves a grand tip of the hat as well, with Ben Hardy, Joseph Mazzello, and Gwilym Lee playing textbook versions of Queen’s Roger Taylor, John Deacon, and Brian May as the band navigates through humble bar-scene beginnings, a meteoric rise to superstardom, and finally, their exalted Live Aid performance. Bohemian Rhapsody, for all its narrative flaws, is an earnest tribute to the iconic rock band, and remains a spectacle of sight and sound for music, Mercury, and movie fans alike.

(130 mins., R)

Director Steve McQueen’s latest project is flush with sharp-tongued dialogue and gunslinging, and even includes a scene with business-casual men lounging on a yacht. On the surface, it is a recipe for a quintessential heist movie that just happens to take place during a Chicago alderman election. However, Widows quickly deviates from the typical caper as McQueen infuses an acute sociopolitical savviness through a story about four widows who join forces to pull off the ultimate heist after their criminal husbands die in a sting gone wrong. Widows boasts a sensational ensemble cast spearheaded by Viola Davis and rounded out by Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki, and Cynthia Erivo, who inject their characters with maternal sensitivities and a desperate power as they find themselves entangled in a crime web spun by decades of class and race warfare. The group’s grit is well-matched by the self-righteous evil brought by their husband’s enemies, most excitingly the villainous nature of political psycho Jatemme Manning (Daniel Kaluuya), who views everyone, from his own henchman to cripples in wheelchairs, as viable victims of his displeasure. The film is unorthodox in its cynicism and cultural criticism, but it remains perfectly watchable, functioning as both a violent, engaging crime thriller and a new political brand of artistic noir.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL BREAKDOWN T Shifting Leagues Make for Unclear Outlook on Upcoming Hoops Season PAUL WELLMAN FILE PHOTO

he 2018-19 high school basketball season is underway in Santa Barbara, and fierce competition is a certainty as league realignment has set the stage for fresh matchups and renewed rivalries.

As was the case in the fall sports, North County teams Santa Ynez, Lompoc, and Cabrillo will join the Channel League to compete with Santa Barbara, San Marcos, and Dos Pueblos.

Bishop Diego and Providence are in the Tri-Valley League with St. Bonaventure, Foothill Tech, and Santa Clara. Carpinteria is in the Citrus Coast League with Fillmore, Hueneme, Malibu, Nordhoff, and Santa Paula. Cate and Laguna Blanca will compete in the Frontier League with Thacher, Villanova Prep, and Grace Brethren.

For the most part, the pecking order in these leagues has yet to be determined. For instance, how will Cabrillo, the seven-time defending champion of the now-extinct Los Padres League, match up against Channel League competition?

DOS PUEBLOS: The Chargers graduate 10 out of

11 players from last year’s varsity team. The lone returner is senior guard Jaron Rillie. Last season has to be considered a step back for Dos Pueblos, as the team went from unbeaten Channel League champions in the 2016-17 season to 1-7 in league play.

At 62, Rillie is a highly efficient combo guard. He has the ability to score from all over the court. He has great vision and creates scoring opportunities for his teammates. Another key contributor will be Baylor Huyck, a 65 forward who lacks varsity experience but has rare athleticism for his size and can score inside as well as from the perimeter.

“Channel League will be tough again this year.

Santa Barbara is definitely the team to beat,” said Dos Pueblos coach Joe Zamora. “They are deep, have size, athleticism, and scorers. San Marcos will be a tough matchup for everyone as they have so much size across the board. Add in some athleticism, and they are a contender as well.

SAN MARCOS: The Royals are the defending “It will be different traveling north,” Zamora Channel League and CIF-SS Division 2A chamadded, “but I know all three of the coaches up there, and they will have their teams ready to go pions and will now test their mettle in Division HOT HAND: Dos Pueblos senior Jaron Rillie (4) hit six three-point baskets and scored 22 points in the come league.”

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In his autobiography On the Move,

(June 21-July 22): Would you agree with me that there

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): According to researchers who study

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ve always got more help available than you imagine, and that’s especially true these days.

Both people you know and people you don’t know may come to your assistance and offer extra support — especially if you meet two conditions: (1) You sincerely believe you deserve their assistance and support; (2) You clearly ask for their assistance and support. Now here’s more good news about the help that’s available.

Whether or not you believe in spiritual beings, they, too, are primed to offer blessings and resources. If you don’t believe in their existence, I invite you to pretend you do and see what happens. If you do believe in them, formulate clear requests for what you’d like them to offer you.

neurologist Oliver Sacks praised his friend Jerry’s curiosity and knowledge. “Jerry has one of the most spacious, thoughtful minds I have ever encountered, with a vast base of knowledge of every sort,” wrote Sacks, “but it is a base under continual questioning and scrutiny.” So willing was Jerry to question and reevaluate his own assumptions that Sacks said he had “seen his friend suddenly stop in mid-sentence and say, ‘I no longer believe what I was about to say.’ ” That’s the gold standard to which I hope you will aspire in the coming weeks, Aries. As bright and articulate as you’ll be, you will have an even higher calling to expand your mind through continual questioning.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): In recent years, a few pioneers have

gotten microchips implanted under their skin. These technological marvels enable them to open doors and turn on lights with merely a wave of their hands, or receive up-to-the-minute readings on what’s transpiring inside their bodies. Now an additional frontier has arisen: people using do-it-yourself kits to experiment on their own DNA. For example, some have tweaked their genes so their bodies create more muscle than is natural. I would love for you to change yourself around in the coming weeks, Taurus, but not in these particular ways. I’d rather see you do subtle psychological and spiritual work. The astrological omens suggest it’s a favorable time for focused self-transformation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are you smart enough to take advantage of the fact that your best relationships would benefit from bursts of innovative energy in the coming weeks? Are you brave enough to banish the ghost that still haunts your romantic life? Do you have the moxie to explore frontiers with collaborators who play fair and know how to have fun? Will you summon the curiosity and initiative to learn new strategies about how to enhance your approach to intimacy? I’ll answer those questions on your behalf: yes, yes, yes, and yes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In one of his poems, Arthur Rimbaud

extolled the exquisite evenings when the mist soaked his face as he strolled, and he sipped that heavenly dew ’til he was drunk. Was he speaking literally or metaphorically? Probably both, if I know Rimbaud.

Anyway, Aquarius, I’d love for you to engage in similar exploits. What are some natural adventures that might intoxicate you? What simple pleasures may alter your consciousness, nudging you free of its habits? Meditate with sweet abandon on how to free yourself through the power of play and the imagination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): It’s illegal to hunt animals in Kenya.

But members of the Dorobo tribe circumvent the law to provide food for their families. As three or more Dorobo men wander out on the savanna, they wait for hungry lions to kill a wildebeest or other creature. Then they stride toward the feasting beasts in a calm show of force until the predators run away in confusion. The brave scavengers swoop in and swiftly remove a portion of the wildebeest, then coolly walk away, leaving plenty for the lions when they return to their meal. I bring this scene to your attention, Pisces, because I suspect that in the coming weeks you will have similar levels of courage and poise as you go after what you want.

LEGALS NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Planning Commission December 10, 2018; 6:00 p.m.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO CERTIFY PROPOSED FINAL EIR; ADOPT STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS; AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING CITY COUNCIL Tuesday, December 4, 2018 at 6:00 pm

Development Impact Fee Ordinance NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Goleta Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider a Resolution recommending to the City Council adoption of a Development Impact Fee Ordinance (Case No: 18-127-ORD). The date, time, and location of the public hearing are set forth below.

HEARING DATE AND TIME: PLACE:

Monday, December 10, 2018, at 6:00 P.M. City of Goleta, Council Chambers 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, California 93117

PROJECT LOCATION: The Development Impact Fee Ordinance would apply citywide.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code sections 66000 et. seq), a new Development Impact Fee (“DIF”) Ordinance (“Ordinance”) will re-establish all existing DIFs, establish new DIFs, and repeal a DIF that the City has not collected since incorporation. All of the fees included in the Ordinance are consistent with the goals and objectives of the City’s General Plan and are designed to mitigate the impacts on public facilities caused by new development throughout the City. The Ordinance provides for the purpose of DIFs, establishes and defines the types of DIFs, provides for automatic annual adjustment of DIFs, provides for Council to approve waivers and reductions of DIFs, describes the triggers for payment, refund, and credit of DIFs, provides for a DIF protest procedure, and related items. The Ordinance would add section 35-180.6 to the Inland Zoning Ordinance and section 35-325.5 to the Coastal Zoning Ordinance.

The following types of DIFs are re-established or established by the Ordinance: 1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities (new; previously existed in Transportation Facilities Fee) 2. Fire Facilities (existing) 3. Library Facilities (existing) 4. Parks and Recreation Facilities (existing) 5. Police Facilities (existing) 6. Public Administration Facilities (existing) 7. Storm Drain Facilities (new) 8. Transportation Facilities (existing) The following DIF regulations in the Goleta Municipal Code and ordinances will be repealed in the Ordinance: 1. Goleta Municipal Code Chapter 16.12 Flood Control Fees for Development of Land Not a Subdivision.

2. Goleta Municipal Code Chapter 16.15 Development Mitigation Fees for Parks in Connection with Residential Development Projects Which Do Not Involve the Subdivision of Land.

3. Goleta Municipal Code Chapter 16.18 Development Impact Fees for Parks in Connection with Commercial and Industrial Development.

4. Goleta Municipal Code Chapter 16.19 Library Facility Development Impact Fees.

5. Goleta Municipal Code Chapter 16.20 Public Administration Facility Development Impact Fees.

6. Goleta Municipal Code Chapter 16.21 Police Facility Development Impact Fees.

7. Ordinance No. 14-10 An Ordinance Adopting Development Impact Fees for Fire Facilities In Accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code §§ 6600066025).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The adoption of a new development impact fee ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code, §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”). The adoption of the proposed ordinance is not a “project” pursuant to the regulations promulgated under CEQA (14 Cal. Code of Regulations, §§ 15000, et seq., “CEQA Guidelines”). The adoption of an ordinance does not have the “potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment;” this ordinance creates a government funding mechanism which does not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

(CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(b)(4).) Even if the ordinance were a “project,” it is statutorily exempt because the Ordinance is a method of “obtaining of funds for capital projects, necessary to maintain service within existing service areas.” (CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(b) (4).)

DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: The staff report may be obtained at the City of Goleta, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117. The documents will be posted on the City’s web site at www.cityofgoleta.org at least 72 hours ahead of the meeting.

PUBLIC COMMENT: All interested persons are encouraged to attend the public hearing and to present written and/or oral comments. Written comments may be sent to Wendy Winkler, Management Assistant at wwinkler@cityofgoleta.org; or mail Attn: Planning Commission and Wendy Winkler, Management Assistant Department of Planning and Environmental Review, City of Goleta, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117.

In order to be disseminated to the Planning Commission for consideration during the meeting, written information must be submitted no later than Monday at noon prior to the Planning Commission meeting. Material received after this time may not be reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to the meeting.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Additional information is on file at the Public Works Department, Goleta City Hall, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117. Contact Maureen Gaasch at (805) 961-7560 or mgaasch@cityofgoleta.org for more information regarding the project.

The project will be built to Silver LEED standards and include Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) monitoring equipment. Additionally, the project will include a public parking lot with seven spaces (twelve feet from Hollister Avenue), employee parking for nine spaces at the rear of the site, site access, landscaping, a perimeter block wall along the northern property line and a wrought iron fence along the eastern property line. The building will include a reception area, training and operational areas, a community room/training room with a 30-person capacity for Fire and City staff to conduct public meetings. Site development also includes a bifurcated above-ground fuel tank (250-gallon gasoline and 1,000-gallon diesel), an emergency generator, outside hose drying racks, a soldier pile wall at the mid-slope northern property line, landscaping and site frontage improvements including sidewalk, curb, gutter and bike lane. Preliminary earthwork quantities are estimated to be 1100 cubic yards (CY) of cut, 2300 CY of fill and 1200 CY of import.

The request is also to certify the proposed Final EIR, adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (“MMRP”), and adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations (“SOC”), pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations Title 14 Chapter 3 § 15090 (the CEQA Guidelines).
