If you could interview any living artists, who would it be, and why? Janelle Monáe. She’s daringly honest and open in all her art forms, which I think is extremely intimidating but inspiring. Dirty Computer is so good, too. I’d love to pick her brain.

What’s been your favorite assignment?

Why? Interviewing Eva Marie Saint was really cool. I was a bit nervous since she’s such an accomplished actor, but she was so kind and had a bunch of charming anecdotes.

Celebrating the Folks Creating Melodies in Our Community

(Indy Staff)

What draws you to writing about the arts?

All art is just different forms of storytelling to me. Since I was a kid, I’ve been obsessed with consuming stories, whether by reading books, watching films, or just listening to a stranger talk about themselves. I could dissect these stories all day long.

ENVIRONMENT

NEWS BRIEFS CITY A stop-work notice has been planted on the front door at 1019 Chapala Street, the location of the proposed retail cannabis dispensary that garnered the highest number of points in the City of Santa Barbara’s competitive application process, for work reportedly done before permits were obtained. The dispensary’s principal partners — Julian Michalowski and Malante Hayworth — denied having done any construction at the site, saying some work had been performed by the previous tenant. Michalowski said the matter has been resolved and he expects construction to begin this week.

GOLETA At the end of a three-hour meeting 12/4, the Goleta City Council voted unanimously to ban rental e-scooters immediately, on pain of a $100 impound fee per scooter. They also agreed, however, to work toward a pilot program for the region with other jurisdictions. The scooter companies Bird and Lime were excoriated roundly by the council for dumping their products on the city without first seeking a business permit.

Greenhouse Emissions Higher than Projected County Misses Its Target by a Whopping 29 Points

by Nick Welsh ome very bewildered and exasperated county supervisors spent Tuesday morning trying to wrap their arms around one stubborn, incongruous fact: Greenhouse gas emissions released in unincorporated Santa Barbara County were 14 percent higher in 2016 than they were in 2007. Based on the county’s Energy and Climate Action Plan — also known as ECAP — those emissions should have dropped by 15 percent. In other words, the county is 29 percentage points away from where its planning policies say it should be.

Fifth District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino — who represents the Santa Maria area — was most incredulous. How could a place so famous for its environmental consciousness and regulatory zeal have fallen so far below its goal, he wondered, especially when the state as a whole is hitting its emission reduction marks? “It’s just counter common sense,” he exclaimed. First District Supervisor Das Williams had an idea. “One possible explanation is that we’re poseurs,” he said, “that we talk about it but don’t follow through.”

Williams said anyone observing traffic would see that 97 percent of all motorists drive alone. “It’s off the charts,” he said.

The single largest generator of greenhouse gases in Santa Barbara County is traffic — 56 percent. From 2007 to 2016, that tonnage jumped by 12 percent. “It’s VMT,” Williams stated, bureaucratic lingo for vehicle miles traveled. Even with cleaner fuels and more efficient cars, the increased number of miles

S

driven translates into more emissions. The most dramatic percentage gains took place in the construction and agriculture industries — which jumped by 36 and 32 percentage points, respectively. The only sectors in which emissions actually dropped were in solid waste and water treatment.

These numbers were released just as the world has found itself bombarded with a steady stream of new scientific and government reports indicating that the pace of global warming is moving faster than previously believed and that the damage inflicted will be even more dire than the pessimists initially projected. This helped fuel the sense of urgency a majority of supervisors expressed about the need for action. Williams called climate change, “The moral issue of our age.” Third District Supervisor Joan Hartmann added, “History will judge us on what we do here today.”

The supervisors voted to double down on even higher emission-reduction goals, vowing to reduce them to 50 percent of what they were in 1990 by the year 2030. Most of the supervisors argued it was important for the county government, with its sprawling operations and 4,000 employees, to put into practice what the supervisors had been preaching. Building efficiencies had to be increased, and electric vehicles purchased to replace older county cars.

Roughly 1,000 of the county’s workforce commutes more than 60 miles a day roundtrip; flex-time options and telecommuting needed to be explored, the supervisors said, as well as better incentives to get workers

to carpool, ride the bus, or use their bikes.

Currently, employees who avail themselves of “green commuting” options are eligible for two additional vacation days. The supervisors suggested such incentives needed to be sweetened.

Fourth District Supervisor Peter Adam cast the sole dissenting vote, explaining that to pay for such programs, the supervisors would have “to tax the crap out of everything,” which he predicted would “decimate” the economy. “This is why Paris is on fire every weekend,” he said, alluding to the riots now engulfing Paris by protesters angry at the gas-tax increase proposed by the French government.

On the same day, the county supervisors adopted a new planning framework to address the consequences of sea-level rise. At the urging of many environmentalist organizations, the supervisors voted to increase the expected risk profile for which it was planning from a 30-inch rise in sea level by the year 2100 — adopted by the board just five weeks ago — to a 60.2-inch increase.

(The City of Santa Barbara, by contrast, is planning for a 78-inch rise in sea level by that time. The city and county both used the same consultant to parse their numbers, but the city started later and the “best available” technology has changed.)

That vote, by the way, was unanimous.

Even Adam, who typically argues human efforts to combat climate change cause more harm than good, voted for it. “I’m going to support it because it does not affect me or my constituents,” he said. n

EDUCATION Tuesday’s school board meeting had a full audience for the swearing in of Kate Ford and Rose Muñoz. The two newest boardmembers were elected this November after a hotly contested election that involved eight candidates running for two open seats. The board also reorganized leadership roles for the year 2019. The new Board President is Wendy Sims-Moten, the new vice president is Laura Capps, and the new board clerk is former board president Jacqueline Reid.

School boardmembers moved unanimously to change the San Marcos High School Title I program from a targeted intervention program to a schoolwide program. Title I funds are designated for students from low-income families to help ensure they meet achievement standards. The transition allows for funds to be used on programs that affect all students and not just economically disadvantaged students. In order to make the transition, a school must have at least 40 percent of students from low-income families. At San Marcos, 47.8 percent of students are classified as socioeconomically disadvantaged.

ENVIRONMENT Capping a banner year for condor nesting is the successful fledge and flight of Santa Barbara County’s first baby condor in more than three decades. Endangered since the 1980s from the uninhibited use of pesticides, the California condor population has since come back in small increments. The new bird — condor number 933 — is the scion of condor 654, a 6-year-old female, and AC-4, a 38-year-old male. Biologists stressed the importance of AC-4, which has fathered 30 chicks altogether.

San Ysidro Ranch Rises from Mud

L

ess than a year after losing half of the property to the 1/9 Debris Flow, San Ysidro Ranch is slowly opening its doors to business again. A series of holiday brunches and a reservation-only dinner service will start at the historic resort in midJanuary at the Stonehouse and Plow & Angel restaurants. Overnight accommodations should be mostly open by March 2019, with the final three cottages ready to go in August.

“For people in Montecito, this means a lot,” said facilities director David Soberano during a walk around the property on Tuesday. “It took three months just to dig out from the mud.” Of the property’s 41 cottages, 21 were damaged, including three that were totally destroyed. The historic adobe had mud four feet up the walls, but experts from

Chicago were called in to save it. Luckily, a large boulder stopped just short of the front door and will be the site of a remembrance plaque.

Monday night was the property’s first large event: owner Ty Warner’s annual Christmas party for 150 people. “It went off without a hitch,” said Soberano. Everyone was a bit nervous about the affair, but Warner, said Soberano, has never wavered in his dedication to the rebuilding of San Ysidro Ranch and continued to pay some employees even while it was closed. “From day one, we were committed to this place, to make it even better than it was before,” said Soberano. “That’s —Matt Kettmann the truth.”

ew school boardmember Kate Ford hit the ground running at her first school board meeting this Tuesday as she questioned Superintendent Cary Matsuoka about the proposed process for hiring a new principal for San Marcos High School.

Ford was not alone. School boardmembers Laura Capps and Jacqueline Reid, along with three San Marcos parents, also voiced concern about the process and the level of involvement school staff, parents, and students will have.

Much of the pushback stemmed from an error in the proposed hiring timeline that reads, “Superintendent interviews candidates; selects finalist(s).” Matsuoka clarified that he will not be conducting the interviews alone and that a number of cabinet-level members will be involved. Still, many were not happy. In what parents and boardmembers identified as an opportunity to restore trust after recent controversies at the school, Matsuoka failed to deliver. It’s an “unfortunate error,” said Capps about the misprinted

detail. “Parents need to have a voice,” said San Marcos parent Delene Bliss. “It shouldn’t be an uphill battle.”

Former San Marcos principal Ed Behrens was demoted from his position in March to a teaching position at Santa Barbara Junior High. Behrens’s demotion followed a January incident involving a private chat-room video of a male San Marcos student holding a musket and bayonet and threatening the lives of female and gay male students. Both Behrens’s demotion and the video threats generated intense parental outcry over the response to the incident.

The board unanimously approved a $12,500 contract with consulting firm Leadership Associates for recruitment and hiring, but it did not approve the process description. Matsuoka said he would be sending out a revised description and an updated timeline before the commencement of winter break. “I heard your request for detail and specificity and will bring it back,” he said.

NEWS BRIEFS CONT’D FROM P. 9 California in 1982 that were captured in the effort to bring the great birds back from the brink.

LAW & DISORDER Judge Colleen Sterne is allowing a lawsuit to proceed against the Santa Barbara Police Department by former dispatcher Bridget Bryden, who claimed she was fired in 2016 after complaining to higher-ups that the qualification standards for new dispatchers had been dangerously dropped in order to fill chronically vacant positions. She claimed the new hires posed safety problems because they were not sufficiently adept at multitasking. Attorneys for City Hall insisted Bryden quit after it was brought to her attention she was the subject of an internal affairs investigation.

Sterne opined, “The timing of this investigation is certainly suspect.” Her ruling clears the case to go to trial, likely sometime in March.

Attorneys for a nonprofit group organized by local Republican leader Greg Gandrud have filed a lawsuit against the Santa Barbara Unified School District, alleging that a contract with a group that provides “anti-bias” training violates the Constitution and anti-discrimination laws.

The plaintiffs, known as “Fair Education Santa Barbara Inc.,” brought the action in U.S. District Court in Los Anbeles against the district and Just Communities Central Coast. “Under the guise of promoting so-called ‘unconscious bias’ and ‘inclusivity’ instruction, [Just Communities’] actual curriculum and practices are overtly and intentionally anti-Caucasian, anti-male, and anti-Christian,” a copy of the complaint says.

Craig Price, an attorney for the school board, said he has not yet seen the suit and could not comment. Jerrod Schwartz, executive director of Just Communities, was not immediately available for comment. n

n the fall 2017 semester, almost 60 percent of incoming Santa Barbara City College students were placed in remedial math or English courses. Come fall 2019, however, that number will decrease drastically thanks to Assembly Bill 705, which largely prohibits community colleges from requiring students to enroll in remedial classes.

The bill, signed by Governor Jerry Brown in October 2017, is intended to “maximize the probability that the student will enter and complete transfer-level coursework in English and mathematics within a one-year timeframe.” It was introduced after evidence showed community colleges were placing too many students in remedial courses, hindering their likelihood of completion or transferring to a four-year college. According to the SBCC Student Success Scorecard, only 42.5 percent of first-time students in 2015-2016 completed a transfer-level course in math in their first two years at the college.

“Students coming in at below-transferlevel courses [for math] have close to a zero percent chance of transferring and receiving a bachelor’s,” said James Campbell, associate professor of mathematics and assessment coordinator at SBCC. “It’s shockingly low.”

Campbell is on the school’s transition committee and is working to restructure SBCC’s math department to comply with AB 705.

Currently, incoming students are evaluated with state and local assessments and placement tests. However, these practices often force students to retake course material they successfully completed in high school, or the students are placed in classes at too low a level for their abilities. As a result, these students spend a prolonged time at the college, decreasing their likelihood of obtaining an associate’s degree or transferring to a four-year college. According to the SBCC scorecard, only 44 percent of the 2011-2012 freshmen who were enrolled in remedial courses completed a degree certificate or

transfer-related outcome within six years.

Under AB 705, colleges will not be allowed to use placement exams to evaluate incoming students. Instead, colleges will look at a combination of students’ high school grades, grade point average, and coursework in determining where they will be placed. This new assessment method will place the majority of students directly into transfer-level courses.

In the math department, most incoming students will be enrolled into college-level algebra. Students who otherwise would have been placed into remedial courses will take a special section of the course paired with a corequisite support class. “[The support course] is designed to fill in the gap,” said Campbell, who described AB 705 as “an extremely radical change.”

In the English Department, students with varying abilities will be placed in the same section of English 110, a freshman transfer-level course. “It will change the way it’s being taught,” said English Department Chair Barbara Bell. “We have to rethink the pedagogy.”

“This will help close the achievement gap,” said SBCC Boardmember Craig Nielsen. Students of color and low-income students are disproportionately placed into remedial courses. Between fall 2012 and fall 2017, 46 percent of students placed in remedial courses at SBCC were Latinos, followed by 37 percent white students.

While the college will no longer be able to require students to enroll in remedial courses, SBCC will continue to offer optional developmental levels of English and math for students wary of jumping into transfer-level courses. “Our academic counselors will continue to work closely with students to guide their informed choices,” said SBCC spokesperson Luz Reyes-Martin.

“It’s about social justice,” said Campbell.

“A lot of students will have access to levels of education they didn’t have before.” n

DECEMBER 13, 2018

by Nick Welsh anet Wolf and Gregg Hart didn’t quite get to attend their own funerals this week, but it was close enough, given the abundance of eulogizing directed at the two South Coast political figures on Tuesday.

The lion’s share of the purple smoke, naturally enough, was directed at Wolf, frequently noted for the passion and ferocity with which she represented the Goleta Valley on the Board of Supervisors. She officially stepped down this week after 12 years of service. If the encomium for Hart — the political center of gravity on the Santa Barbara City Council on which he’s sat the past five years — was less voluminous, that’s because he’s not going away, but instead taking over the seat Wolf is vacating.

On paper, Wolf and Hart seem cut from similar cloth; both are solidly progressive Democrats and all that suggests. In flesh and blood, however, the two are studies in contrast. Wolf is outspokenly independent, ready and willing to clash with her own side of the proverbial aisle as she was to throw down with Sheriff Bill Brown, with whom she most famously feuded over the treatment afforded inmates in the Santa Barbara County Jail, not to mention the size of the new North County jail. On both those issues, it should be noted, Wolf prevailed.

By contrast, Hart—a policy wonk blessed with an incandescent congeniality—has played the role of consummate party loyalist to perfection. In that vein, Hart appointed Mollie Culver, chief campaign strategist for the local Democratic Party and until recently political consigliere to the area cannabis industry, as his chief of staff. Wolf, again by contrast, never warmed up to the cannabis industry, always posing the most challenging planning and procedural questions over the past year.

Wolf had not one but two send-offs, during which time she was praised by State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson as “a sister from another mother” and described by District Attorney Joyce Dudley as “Thelma” to Dudley’s own “Louise.” Santa Barbara Mayor Cathy Murillo expressed sadness, stating, “I’ve been in denial. This is real, I guess.”

Murillo and many speakers noted Wolf ’s commitment to programs designed to give

INDEPENDENT.COM

youthful offenders a second chance. Many detailed the key role Wolf played in securing the funding needed to get the county’s permanent Emergency Operations Center built. During her tenure, Wolf shepherded a growth-management plan designed to guide development in the Goleta Valley for 20 years.

Supervisor Das Williams called Wolf “the conscience of the board,” noting “the dumbest thing” he ever did was to run against her for supervisor in 2005. He lost. Supervisor Joan Hartmann described her as “our alpha she wolf,” fiercely protective of her second district constituents. Supervisor Steve Lavagnino created a highlight video clip of board meetings in which Wolf expressed her deep “disappointment” in him. Lavagnino joked he and Wolf only disagreed with each other on two issues: “land-use planning and everything other than land-use planning.”

The tenderest farewell came from Peter Adam, by far the most conservative member of the board and with whom Wolf developed a deep, if seemingly improbable, connection. “She is so intense. She’s frightening,” he said. But the same person who “scared the crap out of me,” Adam said, reached out in the most collegial way imaginable. “We developed a friendship I didn’t know was possible,” he said. “It will never be the same up here for me,” he said directly to Wolf.

“You’re not going to be here.”

By contrast, the send-off for Hart at the Santa Barbara City Council—where he’d served five years—was less emotional and more barbed. Mayor Murillo and councilmembers Kristen Sneddon and Oscar Gutierrez expressed gratitude for the time they spent working with Hart, praising his skill and dedication. Only Councilmember Randy Rowse attempted anything resembling a roast. “That bicycle you’ve had parked in your office the past five years— the one with the two flat tires—has that ever been ridden anywhere?” Of all the councilmembers, Hart is by far the most politically experienced, having served eight years on the council prior. His departure will create yet another vacancy—the second one in the past year—which will be filled by appointn ment.

S.B. Priests Named in New Abuse Reports

CRIME

12 Men Accused of Child Molestation Served in Area Parishes

by Tyler Hayden ew disclosures by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Catholic Church’s western Jesuit province have identified more than 200 clergymen accused of child molestation, 12 of whom held lengthy postings in the Santa Barbara area dating back to the 1950s.

The names were made public for the first time this week as part of what church officials described as atonement for the revelations of clergy sex abuse that have roiled the Catholic Church the last two decades, including the longtime protection of predator priests by some of the institution’s top leaders.

The names were added to a list that was initially published by the Archdiocese in 2004 and hadn’t been updated since 2008.

“We owe it to the victim-survivors to be fully transparent in listing the names of those who perpetrate this abuse,” said L.A. Archbishop José H. Gomez in a prepared statement. “It is inconceivable that someone entrusted with the pastoral care of a child could be capable of something so harmful,” said Rev. Scott Santarosa, the head of the western Jesuit province. “Yet, tragically, this is a part of our Jesuit history, a legacy we cannot ignore.”

Victim advocates, however, called the release a self-serving strategy to shield the church from further scrutiny and potential criminal prosecution after a Pennsylvania grand jury issued a searing report in August that described how bishops in the state covered up child sexual abuse by more than 300 priests over 70 years. It was the most expansive investigation yet by a U.S. government agency of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.

“This is a preemptive action by the church to prevent what happened in Pennsylvania from happening in other parts of the country,” declared Santa Barbara attorney Tim Hale, who represented 13 plaintiffs in a landmark case against Santa Barbaran Franciscan friars in 2006 and won a major settlement against the Boy Scouts of America in 2015 “That’s how it works with them. Until you put their feet to the fire, they keep secrets as long as they can.”

Hale said he was shocked to learn of the especially lengthy terms some of the newly named priests held in Santa Barbara parishes and the many years it took for the accusations against them to be aired. He pointed specifically to Fr. Ozias Bailey Cook, who was assigned to Santa Barbara High School from 1957 to 1978 and retired from a position in Solvang in 1984, according to the

N

Archdiocese. “I shouldn’t be surprised,” Hale said, “but I was.” He also noted the tenure of Fr. Vincent McCabe in San Roque from 1974 to 1988. “There are definitely kids who fell victims to these priests,” he said. “These guys don’t take vacations. They don’t stop predating.”

Hale said he hates to think about how many victims suffered needlessly with the belief they were the only one targeted, or that the abuse was somehow their fault. “All because the church sat on this,” he said. Hale also said he hopes California Attorney General Xavier Becerra takes the lead from the numerous state attorneys general who, after the Pennsylvania report was published, have opened investigations into clerical sexual misconduct by subpoenaing diocese records. “There are a huge number of unidentified perpetrators out there,” he said. “We want them all to be investigated.”

Below are the names of the 12 accused clergymen identified by the Archdiocese and the western Jesuit province as having held positions in Santa Barbara County. Most of them are now deceased. No further details of their alleged crimes, including victim information, were provided. The years and locations of the men’s Santa Barbara tenures are included here; full accountings of their postings are published on independent .com.

Survivors, Officials Discuss Coping with Disasters and Surviving the Next One

by Tyler Hayden with KCRW’s Kathryn Barnes, Jonathan Bastian, and Larry Perel

A

year ago today, December 13, the Thomas Fire had swallowed large swaths of Ventura County and crept to within striking distance of Montecito.

Within just a week, it would leap into Santa Barbara’s front country and set the stage for the late-night debris flow that took 23 lives. In the immediate aftermath, KCRW and the Santa Barbara Independent interviewed residents and responders about what they’d experienced and what they thought might come next.

This week, as we commemorate those anniversaries, we’re checking back with some of those people, from a former Montecito homeowner who moved away to a Ventura resident vowing to rebuild. You’ll hear about the importance and challenges of emergency messaging and a bold new initiative to keep communities safer. The interviews were conducted

by KCRW staff and edited for print by the Independent for brevity and clarity.

MARI MITCHEL, Former Montecito Homeowner

Barbara Humane Society. His name’s Walter. He was brought here from Florida after the hurricane. So we’re soul mates. He’s the most loving, sweet dog. But this part makes me sad: He had a family in Florida. You can tell.

He was loved. And if that family can hear this, I hope they know that he’s in really good hands, and he’s very loved.

—Mari Mitchel

I retired as Santa Barbara City fire chief in March, and now I’m part of the Partnership for Resilient Communities. We’re a nonprofit that formed in the wake of the January debris flow. We’ve worked with some of the best scientists around here — Tom Dunne from UCSB; we brought in Matthias Jakob from Colorado — and it’s their opinion that we’re still at high risk for debris flows. People can disagree with that, but that’s the assumption we’re working towards, and it’s why we’re raising funds [to install 15 steel “ring nets”] in the canyons above Montecito.

We looked at what the rest of the world does [to mitigate the impacts of debris flows], and we eliminated a ton of other options before we settled on debris-net technology.

Everything else is either too impractical, too expensive, or too invasive. We’re using a company out of Oceano. They’ve installed these nets all over California.

We’re not proposing that they be up there forever. Our hope is in five years the vegetation grows back and the landCOU RTE SY KC RW

like thinking about it, ‘butI don’t the more I do and I’m honest about it, the better I’m able to move forward.’

PAT MCELROY, Former City Fire Chief

PAU L WELLM AN

On January 9, the walls of our bedroom cracked open when a garage across the street broke loose from its foundation and crashed into our house. A wall of debris higher than our roofline swallowed us. It’s impossible to block from my memory. I don’t like thinking about it, but the more I do and I’m honest about it, the better I’m able to move forward.

My husband and I are doing well now. We bought a place in Hope Ranch, up on a hill where there are no boulders.

The day of the disaster, my husband said so clearly and almost viciously, “We will never return to this house. We will never live here again.” We knew we couldn’t. It was just too traumatic.

It’s scary entering this time of year again. Last week, we heard the rain falling on our house. Even my husband, who doesn’t talk much about what happened, said, “I don’t like the sound of that.” And who doesn’t love rain? I mean, I love rain, and we need it. But it scares us still.

I’ve sought emotional support. I’m so grateful for Cottage Hospital for their programs. For a good while, I was part of the survivors’ group. I was both humbled and touched to be part of it because I met people who will be forever in my heart. They’re incredible people, strong. I’ve also sought out a PTSD specialist. I did that early on, and then I stopped because I thought everything was fine. And then you get a trigger. They come out of the blue.

I’m grateful to have my husband with me, and our son, who’s very supportive. We’re getting there, but we still have a ways to go. We also just adopted a doggie from the Santa

scape stabilizes. As part of our permit, we are required to provide the money upfront to remove the nets and the debris behind them. We are in the permitting process now, so it’s something you’re going to be seeing and reading more about, especially as we enter into this fire/flood cycle.

We deliberately called ourselves the Partnership for Resilient Communities because we knew that what we learned we wanted to pass on to other people. We’ve reached out and shared information with places in Northern California, Ventura, and Los Angeles so they don’t have to go through what we went through.

THOMAS TIGHE, Montecito Resident; Direct Relief International President and CEO

We’ve moved six or seven times, so we’re not the most attractive renters, with dogs and cats and kids, but the house is still inundated with mud. We’re in an impressively complicated navigational situation with the insurance company and the county. It’s going slower than I think anyone would have liked, but you can understand it, considering the magnitude of the event. I’m just terribly thankful. For whatever

Tom Fayram

Thomas Tighe discomfort and fear and inconvenience happened [to my family], it could have been so much worse, and it has been for a lot of people.

I’ve met personally with a lot of people who were part of the victims fund to disperse money. I felt the privilege of being able to tell people that there are people pulling for you. No one really knows what to do, what to say. I’m better at the work part, but the interpersonal, social fabric that holds people together is something that you’re aware of. Being part of a community that was hit — it was a real learning experience.

It was my personal view [following the debris flow] — and with a lot of respect and admiration for the people who do this in Santa Barbara — that the [emergency notification] system was broken. The messages were confusing. It needed to get fixed. I think improvements have been made, but what happens when cell towers go out, communications don’t get through? It’s still a problem.

NICK BONGE, Ventura Property Owner

PAU L WE LL M A N

We are going to rebuild. We have plans, and we’re just trying to get through the approval process. The good news is the county came in and cleared all this and did a spectacular job.

The permitting process for a rebuild in the [City of Ventura] is something completely different. They’ve done a terrible job in providing a framework for fire victims to rebuild. As it is, we’re at least a year and a half out from completing the project. That puts a hardship on a lot of homeowners.

We’ve been staying in a condo. It was not an easy task to find it. Our advantage is we’ve lived in the community for 35 years, so we have friends and friends of friends. Not

everybody is that lucky. Our insurance company, for the most part, has been pretty good. We haven’t gotten a final settlement yet, but we’re confident they’re gonna do the right thing.

The thought never entered my mind to not rebuild. It never came up in conversation with my family. What we’ve considered is how to rebuild so that should another Thomas Fire hit this home it would withstand it. There are very few places like this in Ventura, or anywhere else in the world. So yeah, of course, we want to stay here.

KEVIN TAYLOR, Montecito Fire Division Chief

Earlier this year, we promised all of our communities that we would take a very hard look at the debris-flow risk map that we published after the 1/9 event. What’s changed is where scientists believe debris will actually travel. The corridors that were impacted on 1/9, and along their shoulders, have been identified as at risk. Those are the areas that will be evacuated. We no longer use the terms “voluntary” or “mandatory.” The terminology that we now utilize for [debris-flow evacuations] is “weather advisory,” “evacuation warning,” and “evacuation order.”

We hope residents get emergency alerts from news media and other reliable sources. But at the end of the day, our goal is to have 100 percent of our community members enrolled in the county’s Aware and Prepare notification system. The information is available at ReadySBC.org. It’s a very simple process to opt in.

No emergency alerting system is foolproof. The federal WEA [Wireless Emergency Alerts] system is supposed to be the answer for that, but just recently, during the presidential test, I was sitting in a room with a bunch of people and some phones didn’t alert. The county resurrected its Radio Ready several months ago, so when all else fails, you will be able to get emergency notifications that way as well.

The chance of a disaster like what we had last January is always there. Each passing year it gets less likely, but the potential is there. To that end, the question is, what have we been doing about it? We’ve spent over $100 million opening up creek channels and debris basins in Montecito. All of them are ready to take on the winter. If there are events that cause debris to either get caught in the debris basins (which is

where we want it to be caught) or downstream in the channels, then we’ll take action like we did after January 9.

Now as for the debris on private property, that’s a personal decision. In one respect, if material were left there, [the property] would naturally get higher. And if you built on top of that, you would be to some extent more resilient, because you’re at a higher elevation. But that’s not always possible.

Certainly, if a home is completely lost, we want it rebuilt at a higher elevation. That’s probably the best mitigation factor, along with maybe stronger materials. But homes that weren’t completely destroyed and are going to be restored where they’re at, they really aren’t any safer from future flood or debris flows.

JENNIFER NYHUIS, Vista del Mar Hospital CEO

December 4 was a pretty horrific night. Our patients were extremely resilient. I had five adolescents in my car with me when we evacuated to the fairgrounds. [The staff and I] were able to set up shop there and work all night to get everyone transferred out to appropriate [psychiatric] care. It was a pretty phenomenal event when you look back at it.

The next day, we came out here and realized that we lost all of our utility infrastructure — our electrical equipment

burned, our generator, our pump house for the water supply. At that time, we had 87 patient beds. We lost 32 of them.

I got several calls during that time of people, families not being able to find services. Now that we’re open again, we’re seeing patients who did not receive the help they needed in that gap. There are some pretty devastating results of that, especially in terms of the adolescent population. We provide the only adolescent beds in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties.

Patients typically come to us during one of the worst days in their lives. It’s a population that is vulnerable and discriminated against and, unfortunately, has not been a priority. It’s evident by the lack of resources. The devastation of losing those beds, the devastation of not having enough beds even before the Thomas Fire — there needs to be more attention paid to making sure we’re a better safety net to those in our community who are suffering. We’re hoping to have all of our beds open early in the New Year.

CSB Chancellor Henry Yang announced Tuesday that billionaire Charlie Munger has purchased and gifted the historic 1,800-acre Las Varas Ranch to the university.

Las Varas — a working cattle ranch and avocado-growing operation — is located on the Gaviota Coast between Naples Point and El Capitan State Beach. Bisected by Highway 101, the holding stretches inland from the coastal bluff at Edwards Point to the boundary of Los Padres National Forest.

Praising Munger’s “tremendous generosity” in a campus-wide letter this afternoon, Yang said, “We are immensely fortunate to have been entrusted with this ‘coastal jewel,’ which includes two miles of coastline.

With more than 500 acres of pastureland, an 18-acre lake, and fruit orchards, the land offers rich agricultural resources and excep-

tional educational opportunities. For a long time, UC Santa Barbara will maintain the property in its current state as a working ranch.” Yang added, “In the years ahead, I will consult with our campus community and local community on the future vision of [the property].”

The now-deceased Tim Doheny—grandson of oil tycoon Edward Laurence Doheny Sr.—purchased the ranch in the late 1960s from the Edwards family. In early 2016, the Dohenys listed the ranch for $108 million.

The price dropped to $90 million about a year later, according to listing agent and broker Kerry Mormann, who said he’s been under a strict confidentiality agreement regarding deal details. Mormann did say that all contingencies had been dropped this morning, and the transfer to the university was in line with

Donald M. Schlagel 12/14/25-11/20/18

92 years young Don passed away peacefully at Serenity House in Santa Barbara after a short illness. With a chaplain giving him his last rites and his daughter by his side he took his final breath. He left us in body but not in spirit. His smile and kind soul will be with us always. There are not enough words to express the kind, playful, thoughtful, creative man Don was.

A SB local, Don was born at St Francis Hospital in 1925, two years after his parents packed up their 5 kids & moved to Santa Barbara from their homestead in Montana. He attended Dolores School thru 9th grade and graduated Santa Barbara High School in 1944. Go Dons! He was drafted on his 18th birthday while still attending high school and was given 6 months to finish school before going to Camp Roberts and then overseas to fight in combat in the US Army 6th infantry division in WWII. He served 2 years with honorable discharge.

When he returned home he worked with his oldest brother Clarence as an apprentice cement finisher.

He then worked at SB Stone until he went off on his own with his nephew Glen Schlagel and eventually his sons Mike, Jerry and finally Mark joined the team. He did projects like the State St sidewalk, Cabrillo bike path, 1000 steps and many patios & fountains throughout Santa Barbara along with his sons.

Don married Roberta “Bobbie” in 1950. They stayed married “til death do us part” 60 years later. They raised their family in SB enjoying many beach outings, waterskiing and camping trips at Carp beach, Rancho Oso and Naciemento Lake. They both enjoyed dancing (swing, ball room and square dancing) and traveled to jazz festivals often. Their love of travel really took flight after their kids were raised and they traveled the U.S., Mexico and Canada in their motor home. They also traveled to many countries abroad & in South America.

After retiring in 81 they moved to Bass Lake and enjoyed many years with family & friends visiting in winter for the holidays and in the summer for waterskiing & swimming off the dock. Don moved back to Santa Barbara 9 years ago after his wife passed and lived next to his daughter in the house he built in the 50s.

He is survived by his sons Mike (Lisa, grandkids Alexandra & Preston), Randy and Jerry (Monica, granddaughters Michele & Emily), his daughter Teresa, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He is preceded in death by his wife Roberta and son Mark, his parents Michael & Teresa and all 5 siblings Clarence, 18

THE INDEPENDENT

Pearl, Irma, Ralph & Vivian (& their spouses). He also had many friends some old, some new, the Gudgeon’s for 65+ years, the Esau’s, Dave & Gloria, Linda who he danced and traveled with, Charlene & Ruth and others from the Comrades.

Don was very creative and enjoyed woodworking, painting, jewelry making, art, reading & dancing amongst many other hobbies. He had a good sense of humor and loved telling a good joke. He was playful and was a joy to be around. He was a kind soul with a mischievous side.

Last summer he went to a Dodger game with his daughter & when he got back to the bus after a 12 inning evening game someone shouted, “I want what he’s taking!” LOL. (He was the oldest one on the bus and the only one who stayed to the finish). He was a trooper til the end. He also shared a love for art & they had plans to go to the Getty Museum on his bday in December. He will be greatly missed.

A funeral will be held on December 21 at Our Lady Of Sorrows church at 10:00 a.m. and a Celebration Of Life to follow at the Elks from 11:30-4:00.

In lieu of flowers please make donations to hospice or a veteran organization of your choice in Dons name.

May Dons spirit, sense of humor & sweet smile live in our memories always.

his 64th birthday, Don Canestro was diving with his friend Dan Richards, in Cambria, California. When he surfaced near their kayak, he said he did not feel well, and then passed out. His friend got him to shore, performed CPR, and arranged for a helicopter to take Don to the hospital. But Don, who had survived so much before, died from cardiac complications.

It is ironic that Don, a former Dive Safety Officer, died while scuba diving. For so many years, he was the person others relied on to keep them safe because of his extensive knowledge, expertise, and prowess underwater. Perhaps it is fitting that Don’s last day was spent in the ocean. He was a dedicated waterman: He did regular ocean swims; he surfed; he could free-dive to 100 feet; he scuba dived and played underwater hockey.

Jerry William Beaver died peacefully at Cottage Hospital on December 1st, of complications from a serious fall three years ago.

Jerry was born on July 30, 1932, in Springfield, Illinois. He was the youngest of four children of Charles Beaver and Lucille Lamming Beaver.

He went west to Arizona State University and then the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he studied architecture. He served in the U.S. Army as an officer in the Corps of Engineers, during the Korean War. He married Helene Giljum, who had come to the United States as a refugee after World War II. Jerry and Helene moved to Santa Barbara in 1960.

Jerry had a sixty-year career in commercial real estate, starting as an appraiser and then as a broker and developer. He was proud to have built many award-winning projects in Santa Barbara.

He was an avid tennis player, and was a founder of the Santa Barbara Tennis Patrons Association.

Along with Helene and his sister, Addalein Hawk of Springfield, Jerry is survived by his three sons: David (Renee Courington), Philip (Kim Soyong McDonald), and John (Candace Kyburz), and grandchildren: Elaine, Elizabeth, Lauren, Rachel, Anna, and Alexander.

At Jerry's request, private services will be held with his family.

Jerry always tried to do the right thing, and stand up for the things he believed in. If you wish to honor his life with a donation, please consider the Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation or the Santa Barbara Tennis Patrons Association.

what legends are made of. Lynn was a poet, a musician, a rebel, a loving son and brother but most of all he was your best friend and would love and protect you forever. Maya Angelou said, "We've learned that people will forget what you did or what you said but they would never, ever forget how you made them feel." That was Lynn Strait!

Lynn triumphed over a devastating handicap and survived a troubled childhood. We admired him because he revealed himself, unedited and uncensored in his music. We hear his anguish, his rage, his frustration in his deep love for his music and lyrics---his art. He understood himself and grasped the turmoil of his emotions and made them real, pulled from somewhere inside of him. He expressed them into something exciting and was vulnerable while doing it. That is talent!!! He was fortunate enough to realize his dreams...

"When he shall die, they will cut him into tiny stars and he will make the face of heaven so bright that all the world will be in love with the night." -William Shakespeare Goodnight, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest... -Hamlet We miss you every day!

It is really hard to believe it has been 20 years since Lynn and Dobbs' tragic death. He still exists in some realm—somewhere. Of this we are completely certain. We are all fragile and life is precious. Strong souls such as his don't fade and die. Years pass and yet they do not leave us. Lynn, whom we loved and lost, is no longer where he was—he is wherever we are. To live fully and take what was offered—danger, pain and all of the reminders of mortality is what he did... He lived a life of daring dreams.

I don't understand why there has to be so much pain but that's the way the world is.

Dorothy Littlejohn was a person afflicted with Parkinson's disease.

She however never let that stop her for as long as she could until it was out of her control at the end she was a brilliant mind trapped in an incapable body. She had a bike that was built for her so that she would never have to be stuck in one place she could move and ride freely and riding was her passion. But at the end she couldn't even use her bike.

She was a trickster and one of the most excellent photographers I have ever seen. The photos she took captured the beauty of nature and humanity and she always looked on the brightside of things. Dorothy Littlejohn wass an amazing grandma and the world will be a different place without her. Rest In Peace Grammy. Our love for you will live on forever.

egarding the statistic in “Kiss the Beach Goodbye” on November 21: “The sea level would rise by 2.5 feet between now and 2060 and by 6.6 feet by the year 2100,” did you know that 2.5 feet is equivalent to 750 millimeters? (They measure in mm but scare you in feet.) We are 41 years to 2060. Thus, they are predicting a rise averaging 18.5 mm per year.

The latest NASA satellite observations (climate .nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level) recorded 35-38 mm of sea level rise from about 1993 to 2018. From October 2015 to June 2018, it was 2.7 mm—less than 1 mm per year.

If sea level will rise 18.5mm per year for the next 40 years, it better start rising faster right now.

know this goes against the current narrative, but the facts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/ sltrends) are that Santa Barbara’s relative sea-level trend is 1.07 mm/year (with a 95 percent confidence interval of +/- 1.11 mm/year) based on monthly mean sea-level data from 1973 to 2017. This is equivalent to a change of about 4 inches in 100 years.

he most authoritative recent study on sea level rise in California, April 2017’s “Rising Seas in California,” projects a one percent chance of a 6-foot sea-level rise in 2100 under the highest greenhousegas-emission scenario. The median sea-level rise is 2.5 feet. All sea-level projections are subject to considerable uncertainty, but focusing solely on the worst-case scenario is unlikely to lead to the best public policy.

congressionally mandated report by 13 federal agencies, the first of its kind under the Trump administration, recently found that climate change is already being felt and projects widespread and growing devastation as increasing temperatures, rising sea levels, worsening wildfires, more intense storms, and other cascading effects harm our infrastructure, society, and ecosystems.

The area burned across the western U.S. from 1984 to 1915 was twice what it would have been if climate change had not occurred, the National Climate Assessment states. By century’s end, thousands of additional deaths are projected annually from worsening heat waves and air pollution, as well as declining crop yields and the loss of key coral reef and sea ice ecosystems. Some $1 trillion in coastal real estate is threatened.

The report also warns of the economic consequences of inaction. If emissions continue to climb, economic losses will be in the hundreds of billions annually in some sectors by the end of the century — more than the current gross domestic product of many U.S. states. — Harold Hill, S.B.

f greenhouse emissions continue at their current rate, most of Santa Barbara’s beaches will be underwater, and 39 hotels and motels, 716 housing units, and 170 commercial properties will be gone. Our harbor and wastewater treatment plant will become permanently inoperable. A bipartisan bill to significantly reduce U.S. greenhouse emissions and avoid some of these impacts was introduced in Congress. The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act will create a national revenue-neutral carbon tax that would reduce emissions by 33 percent within 10 years and by 90 percent within 30 years. Let’s unite in support of this national climate solution.

¶ We apologize to attorney Addison Steele and his client Kahlil Byers as the quote attributed to Steele in last week’s news brief was a space-holder before deadline that was mistakenly left in type.

Steele never spoke with Indy reporters and did not say what we reported he said. Also in last week’s news section, in the story “Army Corps Says Yes to Ring Nets,” it is not the Community Environmental Council that supports the project but members of its board speaking as individuals. ¶ The 14th Annual Christmas Concert with Shawn Thies & Friends takes place Wednesday, December 19, not December 18, as we listed in last week’s ’Tis the Season holiday guide.

In agreement with the wise Greek, each year we celebrate all things melodic in our annual Music Issue.

This year’s edition includes profiles on those keeping music education alive in our schools; a band that has spent two decades delighting James Joyce patrons with its lively tunes; reviews of headphones and earbuds; and a look at the Community Arts Music Association of Santa Barbara, which has been bringing important classical concerts to town for 100 years.

lthough State Street shopfronts come and go, one band’s musical residence along the changing corridor has stood the test of time. For 20 years, Ulysses Jasz has livened up the James Joyce pub on Saturday nights with its festive DixielandNew Orleans jazz sound. On Saturday, December 8, the indefatigable merrymakers celebrated two decades of music with their 2,000th show at the swinging State Street spot.

How did Ulysses Jasz become such a beloved area treasure? “Gradually, by reputation, I suppose,” said band leader Alex Marshall, who founded the band in 1998.

“It started off as a jazz jam for just whoever wanted to come by. It was on a Monday night, and it grew and grew and grew, and eventually came into being a regular band.

It just kept on going from there.”

Years in, the band is maybe more popu- BY RICHIE lar now than ever. “I think the pub is pretty well packed out every week we play. In the last few years, the interest in our music has increased somewhat — maybe because it’s happy music for troubled times.” Ulysses’s music swings and shouts with joie de vivre.

There’s also something quite singular about the buoyant band’s musical geography, led by a Scotsman, who with his musicians fills the Irish pub with sounds evoking New Orleans’s French Quarter. Ulysses take listeners on a journey back in musical time, playing numbers written from the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s: “Joyful songs worth playing,” Marshall said, “from the golden age of American songwriting. It’s the only pub in town that presents early jazz on a regular

Marshall’s first jazz band found its home at Edinburgh’s Royal Mile Café, where his tastes landed clearly on the traditional side. “An ingredient which I think is essential in jazz is the ability to swing. Swing’s a thing that makes people shake their shoulders or their ass or tap their feet. … Nobody’s tapping their foot to the avant-garde variety.

I believe jazz went off the rails when it changed to bebop and avant-garde jazz; it became a minority interest instead of a Ulysses Jasz at the James Joyce majority interest, more esoteric.”

A late-1970s visit to Santa Barbara inspired Marshall to head out west. Now, Ulysses has an ever-changing lineup of talented players hailing from across Southern California.

Set lists are fresh by necessity; each night is its own odyssey.

DEMARIA The band never rehearses, instead playing to the tune of each week’s new rotation of musicians and moods. “Every basis maybe one of the few in Southern week, the band is different.

His enumerated In the U.K., “jazz is very often found in public houses,” handwritten set lists reflect the band’s rather improvisatory Marshall said, and James Joyce owner Tommy Byrne, who imaginations, each a document of the moment; no show is comes from Ireland, heard a familiarity in the band’s sound. ever the same.

he Santa Barbara Bowl may be most visible when it’s packed,

but its influence might be strongest when it is empty. In recent years, the Bowl’s grantmaking and community partnership side has grown into a robust and multifaceted organization that has an impact throughout Santa Barbara County. The Bowl’s Education Outreach program, or EdOut for short, offers critical funding to area groups seeking to bring performing arts opportunities to young people.

Whether that’s a chance to attend a Bowl show on a subsidized ticket, to participate in a workshop run by any one of a dozen organizations such as Girls Rock S.B. and Boxtales Theatre Company, or to obtain a musical instrument and lessons on how to play it through the Bowl’s Instrument Fund, the Bowl Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the lives of young people through the performing arts.

Speaking with Kai Tepper, the energetic program manager at EdOut, I learned about the Bowl’s most recent collaboration with the Santa Barbara Education Office, which was to create an annual award The Long Musical for the county’s Performing Arts Teacher of the Year. In a reflec- Reach of the S.B. Bowl tion of the program’s mission to support all types of performance

BY CHARLES DONELAN and yet prioritize music instruction, three of the last four teachers named have been music teachers.

Tepper emphasized the importance of collaboration to every phase of the EdOut project, saying, “Anything we do, it wouldn’t happen without partnerships.”

Established in 2016, the Performing Arts Teacher of the Year award has thus far gone to four of the most dynamic and deserving educators in the region. Sarah Barthel, who teaches AP Calculus as well as drama and chorus at Lompoc High School, was the first winner, and her impact there has been enormous. The 2017 awardee, Brett Larsen of Adams Elementary School in Santa Barbara, has established a program there that begins as early as kindergarten with vocal music and Orff instruction, and continues through to 4th grade, when all students at Adams have the opportunity to learn to play the violin. Larsen is also the coleader of Bravo!, the citywide orchestral music training organization.

The award’s two most recent recipients operate in the North County.

Garson Olivieri has transformed Cabrillo High School in Lompoc into the home of a successful marching band program. His teaching motto is in keeping with the philosophy of the entire EdOut effort, which is that “the sound has the answer, and it will tell you if you listen.” When Olivieri’s tenure as Performing Arts Teacher of the Year for 2018 ends, another young music teacher from Santa Maria, Aniela Hoffman of Arellanes Junior High, will be there to accept the baton for 2019. Hoffman, who teaches Jazz Band and Honor Band at the school, has made a specialty of encouraging talented alumni to return for jam sessions, rehearsals, and performances. It’s this kind of community building that attracts the attention of the Bowl’s committee.

None of this would be possible without properly functioning musical instruments, and through the Bowl’s Instrument Fund, which is CONT’D ON P. 29

bus pulled up to a curb in Downey on November 17 and out filed San Marcos High School’s marching band and color guard, starchily clad in red-white-andblue uniforms. It was their last competition of the season, and they tasted sweet success—the group qualified for the state championships by placing among the top 12 team in their division. Naturally, a celebration was in order. Students traded their instruments for floaties and threw a well-deserved pool bash.

The leader of these impressive teens is San Marcos music director Michael Kiyoi. In addition to marching band and color guard, he also teaches jazz band, wind ensemble, indoor percussion ensemble, winter guard, and the pit orchestra. It’s a dizzying juggle, but Kiyoi clearly loves his job.

A Santa Barbara native, Kiyoi attended San Marcos. Deciding to pursue a career as a high school music teacher upon graduation, he went to UCLA, where he earned a bachelor of arts in music. Armed with his degree, Kiyoi looked for work in Los Angeles, but there were no positions available, so he returned to his hometown. Kiyoi first trained young musicians at Montecito Union Elementary School and Peabody Charter School before finally settling in at his former high school, where he has helmed the instrumental department for the last nine years.

San Marcos Teacher Kiyoi conducts weekly three-hour rehearsals for Talks Job, Students, each ensemble, during which his devoted students and Hopes for Future practice songs in their entirety as well as work on the finer points of a score. “Every day is unique,” Kiyoi said. “I try to instill in my students that we

BY PRISCILLA LEUNG can improve something, even if it’s small.” Admiring students often knock on Kiyoi’s door during office hours for advice on music and life.

Deep, familial bonds are cultivated among the students, which isn’t surprising considering the amount of time they spend together, Kiyoi noted. For example, summer camp rehearsals span from 9 a.m to 9 p.m., but these teens know how to buckle down. In fact, many say that summer camp is their favorite experience, fueling their motivation, work ethic, and fraternity. More often than not, an older student will mentor a younger student, with that student becoming a mentor themselves later on.

Communication, dedication, and understanding is Kiyoi’s mantra. With hard work, intermediate bands with rough starts have turned tremendous corners. The 2012 marching band was one such group. Despite starting as the underdogs and the smallest band in the competition, they won the Southern California School Band & Orchestra Association (SCSBOA) championship.

Choosing songs is tricky, said Kiyoi. It’s a careful balancing act, but he masters it with aplomb—weighing students’ skill levels while selecting enjoyable yet challenging music. “I take it one year at a time,” Kiyoi said pragmatically. It’s a method that has worked well; the San Marcos music program grows stronger each year — and their trophy collection keeps expanding. Envisioning the future, Kiyoi hopes to take ensembles to more out-of-state competitions. Ideas are still cooking in his head, but a possible jazz festival is in the works, with more to come.

Santa Barbara is renowned for its thriving art community, and Kiyoi champions music and performing arts in the Santa Barbara Unified School District. “Not every student is meant to be a scientist or engineer,” he stressed. He’s seen the joy and cohesion that music brings firsthand with his students. Indeed, it’s an uphill battle to keep music and performing arts alive in education, but all those in the San Marcos High School music program would feverishly agree it’s a cause worth fighting for. n

eadphones come in a plethora of shapes, sizes, and quality levels — there are so

many options, in fact, that it can be overwhelming to know what to purchase. In the sea of competition, companies often differentiate their products by focusing on a particular niche. The following two audio specialists have done just that. For purest, 1More has created a set of earbuds that brings music-studio sound quality to the listener, while Treblab has made comfort a priority with its Bluetooth-enabled headphones.

Read on to learn more about these two products.

TREBLAB Z2 WIRELESS HD HEADPHONES

“We started with sports earbuds because we saw the opportunity,” said Alexander Malamud, Treblab CEO, explaining the 2015 origins of his company. “Many big brands overcharge for a quality product because they’re working through a retail shop; we’re working direct to a consumer [so] we’re able to [offer] … the same quality at a substantially lower cost.” Malamud turned his idea into reality in the course of a year. “I did research, and I have a business degree; I already had the idea of how to operate businesses, how to get first sales, and stuff like that,” Malamud said. “I went to China a few times. I found a way to manufacture high-quality products while saving on costs.”

Dealing exclusively in wireless gear, Treblab has multiple earphones and speakers in its catalog but only one headphone—the Z2 wireless HD. One of the Z2’s outstanding features is the comfort of the earmuffs. “We use a special leather-like material …[that’s] made to be super soft.” Indeed, the cushiony, supple feeling allowed for hours of wearing without discomfort. They also extinguish background din, thanks to the noise-canceling feature.

As for what is to come for Treblab? “In the future, we are going to expand to more sportsrelated products, like fitness trackers, possibly,” Malamud revealed. “We’re thinking about developing special earphones for swimming.” Stay tuned.

1MORE QUAD DRIVER IN-EAR HEADPHONES

“I think that the sound that some of the major companies are going for is what they think the consumers like,” said Ari Morguelan, 1More’s director of marketing and PR. “Our approach was to re-create music the way the artist intended, the way artist meant for it to sound.” And so they have: 1More’s Quad Driver earbuds are the best I’ve come across yet. The explanation for their unique ability lies in its name — the apparatus has four speakers that convey the music to the listener. “Most headphones have one driver or one speaker on each side … the quad, you have four,” said Morguelan. “What that does is split up the sound frequencies so each one the drivers or speakers can focus on a particular segment, to do it better, rather than trying to have one speaker do the entire sound frequency by itself.”

The Quad Driver’s superior sound also comes via “a melding of technology between dynamic drivers and balanced armatures” and the design of the acoustic chambers. Add to that input from Grammy-nominated sound engineer Luca Bignardi, who “tunes all of our headphones,” and the result is an incredibly nuanced experience for the listener. The subtleties of the recordings aren’t drowned out, ensuring that the entire musical vision of each song’s creator is heard.

As far as packaging and accessories are concerned, 1More takes a page out of Apple’s notebook — CEO Gary Hsieh was the lead engineer on the iPod touch and the Amazon Kindle. “If you’ve ever bought an Apple product, you know it’s all about the unboxing experience and open opening it up and all that. So [the engineers] took some of that DNA and brought it [to our products],” said Morguelan. “We actually design, manufacture and build [our product] all ourselves, which is one of the ways we’re able to do such better prices.”

Pros: Delivers high-level sound quality; slick design; stellar comfort.

Cons: Tethers listener to phone, etc.

Cost: $199.00 regularly; $99.00 sale; see usa.1more.com

CAMA Cont’d from p. 24

Stokowski. In 1956, Herbert von Karajan led the Berlin Philharmonic, followed by George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra in 1960 and 1966, and the New York Philharmonic with Leonard Bernstein in 1960.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic has kept up the close Joshua Bell relationship established from the beginning through mutual benefactor W.A. Clark Jr., appearing virtually every year since 1920 and bringing a half dozen or more of the world’s most distinguished conductors with it — André Previn, Zubin Mehta, Michael Tilson Thomas, Simon Rattle, Esa-Pekka Salonen, and of course Gustavo Dudamel, who will return with the L.A. Phil on March 6, 2020, to play an anniversary concert that will occur 100 years from the day of the orchestra’s initial Santa Barbara appearance.

In this century, CAMA’s legacy has grown thanks to strong leadership and adventurous programming. The hiring of Mark Trueblood as executive director in 1998 signaled a new level of commitment to professionalism in the day-to-day management of the organization, and Herb Kendall, who served on the board from 1995-2016 and was president from 19992002, established an Endowment Campaign that had raised more than $5 million by 2005.

Around the same time, in 2001, art historian Bob Light made a substantial gift through his philanthropy the Hesperia Foundation that went directly to the Masterseries at the Lobero, CAMA’s recital program.

No one has had more of an impact on the programming at CAMA than Stephen Cloud, who became a boardmember in 1996 and who has been involved in live music professionally for five decades, both as a manager for such prominent jazz artists as Charles Lloyd and Keith Jarrett, and as a concert booker and promoter. Cloud’s comprehensive knowledge of the business side of classical music complements his excellent and wide-ranging taste.

It’s largely thanks to Cloud that we have enjoyed consistent access to players and orchestras of the first rank for the last 30 years. It’s safe to say that without his passion and acumen, CAMA would not have earned the sterling reputation it has today with the world’s top musicians. (Booking great orchestras into a city that’s not New York, Vienna, London, or Berlin Yuja Wang comes with significant challenges. The expense of traveling internationally with 100 or more people and their priceless instruments has increased dramatically, and schedules must be established further and further in advance all the time.)

That said, this centennial CAMA season continues in January with renowned violinist Itzhak Perlman and recital pianist Rohan De Silva at the Granada on Tuesday, January 15.

On Tuesday, February 5, the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra comes to town under the energetic baton of baroque specialist Nicholas McGegan, and, later that same month, on February 27, the Russian National Orchestra arrives for the aforementioned all-Rachmaninoff concert. March 2019 is packed with events — Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra (March 9) and pianist Garrick Ohlsson (March 30), both at the Lobero, and the Philharmonia Orchestra led by CAMA favorite Esa-Pekka Salonen at the Granada on Wednesday, March 20.

After 100 years, CAMA still feels like it is only getting started. Here’s to another century of great music. n

EdOut Cont’d from p. 25

a collaboration with both the Nick Rail and Jensen Music stores in Santa Barbara, guitars, horns, violins, drums, and others are not only made available to deserving kids throughout the area, but they are maintained as well. For Tepper, the system that has come into being as a result of the Instrument Fund is one of the most impressive aspects of EdOut. “At first there were instruments available, but there was no repair fund. The teachers are often called upon to teach instruments that they don’t necessarily play, and fixing them was beyond what they could do. Now, thanks to the Santa Barbara Education Fund, Nick Rail, and the people at Jensen, there’s a procedure you can follow to get whatever it is that you have maintained. It’s a robust ecosystem, and there’s great communication. As a result, there are fewer instruments sitting around in someone’s closet because they need to be repaired.” n

This year, Santa Barbara Revels celebrates the strength and spirit of Irish emigrants coming to America in the early 1900’s to build new lives in a new land. At sea over the holidays, these strangers bond by spinning stories, singing songs, and sharing seasonal traditions; life lessons are learned, friendships are formed, and romance blossoms. The Christmas Revels is a favorite Santa Barbara seasonal tradition for the past 11 years!

o her infant child wasn’t torn to shreds by wild dogs, and she wasn’t completely alone for 18 years. But she did watch a ferocious sea monster kill her teenage son while he was fishing in a canoe, and was mostly solo for the decade that followed, save for some passing ships. That’s the more true but still tragic life of the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island, who stayed on the remote Channel Island when the other natives left in 1835 and remained until 1853, when she came willingly to Santa Barbara NEW LIGHT: “Portrait of The Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island” by with Captain George Nidever. artist Holli Harmon is on display in Chumash Hall at the Santa Barbara Christened Juana Maria once baptized on Museum of Natural History. the mainland, the woman’s life story was ficwho could communicate in some degree.

San Nic’s Lone Woman Not So Lonely After All

ompetitively speaking, Santa Barbara prodigy Lakey Peterson, 24, is the second-best female surfer on the planet. Late last month, the World Surf League wrapped its 2018 Women’s Championship Tour in Maui, where Peterson was in striking distance of securing her maiden world title at the 10th and final event of the yearlong contest circuit. Trailing points-leader Stephanie Gilmore, Peterson’s title campaign came to an end with a poor result during an early round of competition. As Australia’s Gilmore, 30, secured her record seventh world title, Peterson’s runner-up finish is her best result since qualifying for the elite tour six years ago.

Via Instagram, Peterson graciously congratulated Gilmore “on an incredible year. It’s been so much fun

Beauty by the Sea UNDERWATER HARVEST: Diver Sutara Nitenson conducts a kelp survey in the Santa Barbara Channel.

“E

very single day, Mother Nature throws on the beach everything we need for food, beauty, and medicine,” says Antoinette Marquez, the founder of Ama Sea Beauty. “[The ocean] is our amniotic fluid, and we are meant to be in it.” Ama Sea Beauty offers a line of mineral-rich skin care, including a cleanser, algae oil, serum, toner, and salt scrubs made from wild local kelp based on the practice of thalassotherapy, which involves a system of ocean-based healing for coastal dwellers. It incorporates things like seaweed baths, ocean swimming, eating kelp, and breathing ocean air as part of a natural health and beauty routine.

Marquez recently hired a new business partner, Mark Sherman, who helps expand her market and scale up. For now, she prepares each batch by hand out of a working space she shares with Pacific Pickle Works in downtown Santa Barbara.

“Not a single piece of machinery touched this to have it made,” she said of her products. Marquez said that Ama is the first American seaweed skincare line made from —Antoinette Marquez, Ama Sea Beauty American seaweed and not from imported extracts. She personally hand-harvests all her own wild kelp, in what she calls a sustainable manner. “It’s just like picking roses,” she said. “We’re just going to pick a few of the finest pieces and then leave the rest in the ocean.”

Ocean health is important to Marquez, and she has goals that dive deeper than Ama Sea Beauty. “We are an ocean conservation company that decided to develop a beauty product, rather than a beauty company that dabbles in ocean conservation,” explained Marquez. Her vision is of growing kelp sustainably and commercially in a sea farm, but she realized a viable path to getting there was with a product.

Marquez says sustainable kelp farming is key to healthier food and beauty products, but she also believes that kelp farming is essential for replenishing the ocean. “El Niño was a fire in our ocean, and it decimated our kelp bed,” she said, likening it to California’s recent wildfires and forest damage. “And just like there’s soil erosion, we also have sand shift and non-native species. As it is on the land, so it is in the ocean.”

She and her husband, Daniel Marquez, took over the only available kelp sea farm lease in the Santa Barbara Channel, which was originally established as a kelp research plot. They are now entangled in a lengthy permitting process with the Coastal Commission and other state regulators who find themselves in mostly uncharted waters when it comes to kelp-farming permits. As the first of its kind on the California coast, it has garnered national coverage and a slew of interest from across the country. “Everyone is really curious about it,” Marquez said.

O Come, All Ye Frenzied

I

wanted to write a column this week. I swear I did. I yearned to slowly, inconspicuously crawl away from the taxing tumult of the Most Wonderful Time of the Year™ and dive into a wistful disquisition on Oregon’s potential legalization of psychedelic mushrooms — or whether “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” is really the date-rapey jingle we’ve long suspected.

But my head was having none of it, occupied as it is with visions of sugar plums. And shipping deadlines. And parade parking. Each time I sat down to my keyboard, cracked the ole knuckles, and tried to channel witty & erudite, but what came lurching out instead was spacey & lunatic. In gushy, paroxysmal spurts and sloppy, involuntary dribbles of language. Like this: DON’T FORGET THE ADVENT CALENDAR! (Wait … WTF is an “Advent”? Look that up in case kids ask.) “Giddyup, jingle horse, pick up your feet!” Need eggnog. Write check for newspaper delivery dude even though I’ve never laid eyes on the guy. Ooh! I know! I’ll bring a zombie garden gnome to the white elephant party! Wait … WTF is a “white elephant”? “Good King Wenceslas looked down something something something!” Pick up carton of eggnog. I don’t care what anyone says, I’m going 100 percent gift bags this year and calling it a “sustainability” thing. “Run, run, Rudolph, ’cause I’m feelin’ like a merry-go-round!” Remember to grab eggnog. Wait … WTF is “eggnog”?

I know. I know, dear reader. It’s bedlam in there, and if I could hose it out, I tell you I would. There are far more important things to be fretting about today. But you email: starshine@roshell.com and I have a special sort of relationship: I confess my derangements to you, and you occasionally stop me in line at the post office to say, “Hey, Nutjob! It’s cool. I, too, am completely mental!” And somehow that makes it all okay. So rather than grapple with the elves who’ve hijacked my head, I’m going to just let it all hang out this week. I hope that, if this particular strain of year-end mental maelstrom feels familiar to you, you’ll be comforted to know you’re not alone.

An authentic transcript of my holiday-muddled mindscape:

by Starshine

18K Gold and Diamond Bracelet

ROSHELL

• Aack! Need new guest sheets for pullout bed. No way I’m putting on those old blue ones … Hold on. I may have already bought sheets?

Are they in this closet? O HOLY NIGHT! Okay, family meeting!

This closet is pandemonium and nobody gets lunch until it’s cleared out. I mean it. The holidays are about togetherness, and we’re doing this together if it kills us. Hours of us … together. Hunting for nonhideous sheets. In this hellhole of a closet. Buried under the physical embodiment of our overconsumption and laziness. I love you guys.

• Do they make pot-infused cider? Possible gift for Grandma. Google tonight.

• Remember to buy thank-you notes. Do people send thank-you notes for Christmas gifts? If I make my kids write thank-you notes, can I get a pass for letting them eat peppermint bark for dinner? Stop it — you know very well you finished the peppermint bark during your online-shopping binge. Oh, god, do a bunch of squats, you savage; 30 for the bark and another 30 for not supporting local businesses. Yes, right here, right now while you’re all watching Die Hard. JUST DO THE SQUATS, CANDY ASS! • Is Die Hard really a Christmas movie? A corpse in a Santa hat and Run-DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis” do not a feel-good family sofanight make. Is it more damaging to your kids to watch a two-hour high-rise killing spree — or follow the meet-cute porn-star storyline in Love Actually? Dear Santa, if I have to watch Elf again, I’ll lose my frankincense.

• 1st New Year’s Resolution: Consider moving to Oregon and manufacturing magic-mushroom cider. “The neighbors might think … Say, what’s in this drink? I wish I knew how to break the spell …”

Wine Club Watch

Zotovich jumped for a job as head of winemaking with Winc, a club that makes more than 100 different wines from around the world that play to each customer’s preferences.

“This experience was an amazing opportunity, and I was tired of making wine in only one area of the world,” said Zotovich. “I get to go to France, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, and we make wine from Sonoma all the way down to here.

It’s fulfilled my career at a whole different level.”

Winc was founded as Club W in 2012 by entrepreneurs Xander Oxman and Geoff McFarlane and sommelier Brian Smith.

It employs Netflix-like algorithms to connect consumers with wines that fit their tastes, whether that’s sweet or bone-dry, delicate or powerful.

“There’s wine for everybody,” said Zotovich, who oversees the production of about 200,000 annual cases of nearly 130 different wines.

About 40,000 cases of that is Winc’s rosé, the awesomely named Summerwater, and the other batches are 500 to 5,000 cases each. Bottles cost $13-$42, but most are under $20. There’s an array of membership types available. And because Zotovich and his team are constantly visiting vineyards and monitoring winemaking, which is in part down by partner wineries, they ensure quality results.

“The goal is never to get you a bad wine,” said Zotovich. “It sounds flowery and hippie, but our goal is to get people into wine.”

See winc.com.

BOTTLE SHOP CLUBS: A fantastic way to taste wines from around the world would be to join one of the clubs operated by the various bottle shops in town. Programs vary widely, but many allow instore pickups, where you can engage further with the proprietors to really go deep on the selections, and maybe even influence the future choices.

Details on the websites of Savoy (savoywinessb .com), Wine + Beer (wineplusbeer.com), Renegade (renegadewines.com), and Les Marchands (lesmarchandswine.com).

RAJ PARR WINE CLUB: The celebrated sommelier-turned

vintner also runs a wine club whose 200 members receive two shipments a year of either six ($500) or 12 ($1,000) bottles. The wines are made from vineyards that Parr selects, and members also can buy more affordable “daily drinker glug-glug” wines, like pais (or mission grape), from Amador County, Candyfloss rosé from the Sta. Rita Hills, and pinot noir–gamay n from Oregon. See rajparrwineclub.com.

MOSTO CRUDO MOVING TO STATE: Mosto Crudo restaurant, which opened at 7 W. Haley Street in October 2017, is moving to a much bigger space at 532 State Street, the former home of Sunny Korean Restaurant, Le Petit Bistrot, Verde, and Zia Café. Renovations are underway, and they hope to complete the move in February.

LA MAISON ROUGE AT C’EST CHEESE: C’est Cheese at 825 Santa Barbara Street is selling housewares in a holiday pop-up called La Maison Rouge. “We’ve brought in a really great selection of entertaining, kitchen, and gift ideas such as unique cocktail and wine glasses, beautiful serving trays, cocktail infusion kits, copper tea kettles, and more,” reports owner Michael Graham. They’re open 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, and noon-5 p.m. Sunday.

RUMOR MILL: This just in from the Rumor Mill: “A new cocktail bar and coffee shop is in the works at The Mill, 406-414 E. Haley Street. It will be a coffee shop by day and cocktail bar by night, brought to you by the owner of Cajé and the recently shuttered Big Eye Raw Bar.” As always, this rumor might be completely false or a brilliant forecast of future events. Your call.

FOOD & DRINK

breakfast or lunch downtown, you have a new option: Café Ana at 1201 Anacapa Street, the former home of Coffee Cat. The all-day restaurant, located across the street from the historic Santa Barbara County Courthouse in the city’s Arts District neighborhood, draws from global café culture to offer specialty coffee, a curated wine and beer program, and California cuisine.

Café Ana gets its name from being located at the intersection of Anacapa and Anapamu streets.

In the early evenings, Café Ana currently offers light bites at the wine bar. Co-owner Katherine Guzman-Sanders tells me that Café Ana plans to add full-service dinner around New Year’s. In the spring, Café Ana will expand outdoors and offer patio dining.

“Chef Ryan Whyte-Buck has a ton of experience in a lot of different cuisines,” says GuzmanSanders. “He’s trained in French cuisine and most recently was doing some Middle Eastern stuff.

He has also done Mediterranean, traveled a lot in Asia, and he has infused a lot of that in our menu.”

Hours are 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday and will expand when they launch dinner at the end of the year. Call 888-0262 or visit cafeanasb.com.

DINING OUT

“Unlike the spices in most ordinary mulled wine recipes, the botanicals in Jardesca have been married with the wine blend for several months before bottling, providing an ideally balanced expression of the season,” said Morrison, whose product is available at Carpinteria Wine Co., Montecito Village Grocery, and Wine + Beer.

Heritage’s co-owner Emma Moore tried out this recipe at a recent wreath-making class. “Everyone loved it,” she said. “I love that you don’t have to add any extra sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. It’s just the wine, sliced oranges, and spices.”

The Holiday Cocktail Class is on Wed., Dec. 19, 5-6 p.m., at Heritage Goods & Supply (5100 Carpinteria Ave., Carpinteria; 566-7777). See jardesca.com for more info and heritagegoods andsupply.com for $40 tickets, which include two — Matt Kettmann bar tools to take home.

FOOD & DRINK •

Jardesca’s white and newer red “aperitivas” function as diversely as a good vermouth —decent straight over ice, but better with a splash of soda or sparkling wine and a twist, and great as a cocktail component. With Christmas tree and fireplace season upon us, Jardesca rep Charlie Morrison is coming to teach a holiday cocktail class at Heritage Goods & Supply in Carpinteria next week.

One featured drink will be the Sonoma Mulled Wine, in which one bottle of Jardesca Red, four sliced oranges, two cinnamon sticks, and one tablespoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg are heated in a Crock-Pot or pan for at least 20 minutes. Served in a mug with orange zest and cinnamon stick as a garnish, the concoction will last up to four days.

STREAMING for the

SEASON

L I F E PAGE 49

WHAT TO LISTEN TO DURING THE HOLIDAYS

’T

is the season of, among other things, year-end best lists. Best books of the year, best recordings of the year, best tweets … no, please, not that.

Enjoy those listicles all you like, but face it: Before we get to 2019, all of us are going to have to survive the holidays, and that means listening to music. Lots of seasonally appropriate music. “Little Drummer Boy,” anyone? I didn’t think so. That’s why this year, instead of compiling a list of my favorite new releases timed to come out between Christmas and New Year’s, I decided instead to spread what I hope is a modicum of cheer by recommending some holiday music.

Since we are all streaming these days, and pretty much everything is available that way, there’s just no excuse for replaying Burl Ives.

What follows are a handful of recommendations of things that will get you through the season without either offending the guests — you’ll not find any novelties here, such as “Christmas in Jail” or “Back Door Santa.”

What you will find is the kind of music that will keep you and your family and friends cozy and warm, and without having to argue about the appropriateness of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” in the #MeToo era.

Recomposed by Peter Gregson: Bach – The Cello Suites (Deutsche Grammophon) British cellist/composer Gregson had the audacity to take the Bach cello suites apart and then put them back together in these extraordinary, fascinating, listenable, and yes, even largely faithful versions for the venerable Deutsche Grammophon label. The result is striking — familiar and novel, featuring sections with as many as six cellos and others with various subtle synthesized (gasp!) supporting harmonic elements. It’s not switched on, nor was it meant to be. It is perfectly suited to the long evenings of winter solstice, so long as there are no cellists about to cry foul.

Avi Avital: Vivaldi (Deutsche Grammophon) The Four Seasons are, by definition, always “in season,” right? Yet wait until you hear the version offered on this album by virtuoso mandolinist Avi Avital. The shape of the mandolin’s plucked note, radically different from that of the violin, gives a

fresh piquancy to this sometimes overly familiar work, and Avital’s evident feeling for the structure as a whole allows it to hang together beautifully. Listening to this over the course of a leisurely holiday morning will renew your enthusiasm for music we all think we know and perhaps extend your interest into other aspects of the fabulous and considerable output of Vivaldi, who was much more than a man for four seasons.

Eric Clapton: Happy Xmas (Surf Dog) This new record of holiday songs from Eric Clapton is his first ven venture into Xmas territory, and it’s excellent. He tackles mostly familiar Christmas songs without dredging up any of the really objectionable ones, and he gives them a bluesy makeover that’s at once comforting and invigorating. Some people have registered their dismay at the five-minute EDM version of “Jingle Bells” that Clapton includes as a tribute to Avicii, the young deejay who took his own life earlier this year, but I expect that a lot more people will really like it, especially after their second or third eggnog. Congratulations to Clapton for making a perfect soundtrack for any holiday party.

The Art Ensemble of Chicago and Associated Ensembles Limited Edition Box Set (ECM) You can’t stream this 21-CD set on Spo Spotify, but it would make a great gift to find under the tree for any adventurous music lover who still reveres the fine art of exquisite compilation packaging. The set includes all the albums the group recorded for ECM, plus releases

by Lester Bowie’s Brass Fantasy, Roscoe Mitchell’s Note Factory, and many other lineups. It covers the years 1978-2015 and comes with a magnificent 300page booklet. For those who know and love the Art Ensemble’s work, it’s both a trip down memory lane and a comprehensive road map of the many other streets, avenues, and alleyways these massively influential musicians traveled on their journey.

—Charles Donelan

THE ALCHEMY OF FIRE Although it’s been a year since the Thomas Fire blazed through Santa Barbara, Ojai, and Ventura, the recovery is ongoing. To help allay the myriad costs of rebuilding and repairing, singer/songwriter Ted Lennon has spearheaded a compilation album of Ojai musicians, with the proceeds going to Greater Goods Ojai Relief Fund (greatergoodsojai .org/relief).

The idea for the album, called The Alchemy of Fire, came to Lennon, an Ojai native, not long after the devastating fire swept through town. “I had to evacuate and felt like I didn’t pitch in to help with the fighting of the fires,” said Lennon. “In retrospect … I found myself feeling helpless … thinking ‘What can I do?’ My response: to curate a music compilation and donate 100 percent of proceeds.”

Lennon put a call out to his friends and received a plethora of responses. “There were over 40 songs submitted, of which 20 were selected,” said Lennon.

The record contains tracks from musicians including Lissie, Orpheo McCord, Dan Malloy, Todd Hannigan, and Jack Johnson. “The artists I chose were either based in Ojai or have ties to this small-knit community and were interested in helping with the recovery process,” explained Lennon.

While the songs are a mix of genres, their subject matter speaks to the idea of hope, rebirth, loss, and love. “The songs weren’t necessarily written for the fire compilation, but I did handpick them based on content,” said Lennon. “I tried to get songs that were previously unreleased (when possible) and that resonate with the themes of hard times and the resilience it takes to navigate through catastrophic events.”

The Alchemy of Fire opens with “As Within,” a delicate, reflective instrumental from percussionist McCord, an original member of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Aaron Embry’s spare, thoughtful “Life Ahead” and Lissie’s beguiling “Blue” follow in succession. The three songs make for a strong beginning to an excellent record that is full of aural gems. Other standouts include Mia Dyson’s “Being Scared,” Peirson Ross’s “Bicycle Song,” and Sea at Last’s “Grass Is High.”

a&e | DANCE PREVIEW

You are invited to our Isabella Fuentes as Clara

THE NUTCRACKER TAKES THE STAGE

F

ew are strangers to Tchaikovsky’s holiday classic The Nutcracker, the tale of a young girl’s Christmastime adventure to a world of Sugar Plum Fairies, armies of mice, and faraway lands. To State Street Ballet director Rodney Gustafson, The Nutcracker is “a critical way we introduce dance to mainstream America and the primary motivator to get young men involved with dance.” To audiences, the ballet is a beloved family outing and tradition. To dancers, the show boasts some of the most coveted roles to land.

This year’s State Street Ballet production, however, functions as more than just a significant holiday event, but also as a symbol of the dance company’s resilience and attention to community. Last year, the performance was canceled due to the Thomas Fire, which Gustafson remembers STATE STREET BALLET BRINGS as “heartbreaking” for his dancers, many of whom “lost their once-ina-lifetime opportunity.”

Isabella Fuentes, who was cast to dance the lead role of Clara, recalls

by Janavi Kumar the disaster, making sure to note the support the cast and crew gave to each other: “Hard times bring people closer. Even with the Thomas Fire raging, we continued our rehearsals. Coming to class with a mask on became part of our routine.” These rehearsals begin in September, five days a week, three to six hours each. Fuentes, whose family had to evacuate twice, was eating breakfast hours before the final curtain call, wondering if her community was still standing when she was told the performance had been canceled. Luckily, however, she gets another chance at her dream to play Clara in this year’s production.

Fuentes began as “a late bloomer” at 9 years old, but through natural ability and hard work quickly came to take ballet very seriously and now aims to become professional. “Dance has helped me become who I am today,” she said. “I have always been quiet and a bit of a loner, but with dance I feel like I can be myself and just move freely. It’s another way for me to express myself without having to use words.” Fuentes aims to become an instructor herself one day, as she “[adores] helping people and wants to spread the idea and concepts of dance to whomever, even if they are not a dancer.”

Her enthusiasm for expression and education is mirrored in State Street Ballet’s mission. Gustafson cited its dedication to “bring high levels of the art form to all socio-economic levels and serve as an incubator for new and progressive work in dance.” Indeed, the company’s commitment as pioneers of dance education around the world is exemplified throughout its unconventional national and international tour of the Tchaikovsky classic, which will hold its next date back home in Santa Barbara.

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

NOW SHOWING O Bohemian Rhapsody (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 meetcutes 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. Rami-

Ralph Breaks the Internet 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. 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. (JK) Camino Real/Metro 4 Creed II (130 mins., PG-13) Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone reprise their roles as Adonis Creed and Rocky Balboa, respectively, in this sequel to the 2015 film. This time Creed must face Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu), the son of Ivan Drago—the man who killed his father, Apollo Creed.

At Eternity’s Gate (110 mins., PG-13) Julian Schnabel directs this biopic about the life of Vincent van Gogh starring Willem Dafoe. Rupert Friend, Mads Mikkelsen, and Oscar Isaac also star.

Vallelonga wrote the script, holding off until after Don Shirley had died, as requested. It’s a restraint that Green Book plays with so well that the usually blasé Santa Barbara film audience couldn’t help but erupt with applause at film’s end. (JY) Paseo Nuevo

➤ O The Grinch

(90 mins., PG)

The Grinch features a vivid, modern adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s 1957 tale, punched up with delightful rap and sugary tunes. Benedict Cumberbatch plays this woefully uninspired Grinch, a slouch who refuses to even budge an inch. Luckily, Cindy Lou Who (Cameron Seely) offsets his funk with her gang of friends, who share her bent for adventure and spunk. This Whoville Christmas is three times larger—all too wholesome for a creature whose heart is “two sizes” smaller. You certainly can’t trade this new Grinch for its 1966 animated predecessor, but it’s a cinematic sight to behold. Small children will certainly delight in this charming holiday film, and adults will appreciate its visual trills. (PL) Fiesta 5

Green Book is an uncommonly welltold tale of bodyguard Tony Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) and classically trained pianist Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), thrown together on a concert tour through the Deep South in 1962.

Dr. Donald Shirley was a child prodigy, Russian-trained, and imbued with a dignity that suffered under the shortening of his name to “Don” by his record label. The film’s greatest transformation comes from Mortensen, who put on 25 pounds before the film began and added another 20 while playing Tony Vallelonga, aka Tony Lip. His son Nick

to skimp on the musical evidence, allowing the prima donna to demonstrate her mastery in full arias (which sometimes reflect on her real life) and to tell her story in her own words— through writings and letters or in archival interviews with Edward R. Murrow, David Frost, and others. Callas endures attacks after a voice meltdown at the Rome Opera (with Bellini in the house), scraps with the Met, and wavering romancing with “Aristo” Onassis. She also loves the camera, and vice versa, as seen in ample footage of her beaming elegance in public. Maria by Callas succeeds in making us fall in love again (or for the first time) with Callas, and with opera. (JW) Riviera

Alfonso Cuarón has painted a masterpiece.

Shot in luminous black-and-white and with echoes of lyrical Fellini films and neorealism, Cuarón has given the world a rare glimpse into Mexican life, with special compassion for the beloved indigenous protagonist, Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), and women’s issues.

Another penalty added to the Akron partisans’ grief, which turned to joy when 66 goalkeeper Ben Lundt made a diving save, but in the remaining 15 minutes, the Zips were unable to muster an equalizing goal. The Sumners made their way out of the stadium with hopes of returning in 2020.

They had a patchwork lineup after losing six starters because of sickness and injury.

“It’s nice to win,” Luckhurst said. “But if we look each other in the eye and know we did all we can do, it’s a victory, even though the scoreboard says differently.”

Luckhurst grew up in England, playing soccer, rugby, and basketball. He came to the United States as an exchange student and stayed because of his ability to kick a football, which he did for the Cal Bears and for the Atlanta Falcons.

“That was crazy fun, Cal Berkeley and then the NFL, but I’m having the best time of my life today,” Luckhurst said. “I never coached high school kids before. One thing I know, if you play with heart, intensity, and attitude, that’s all we want.”

Luckhurst has three sons at Bishop— Jack, a senior; Adam, a junior; and Michael, a freshman—but only Adam was able to play over the weekend. Jack has shown flashes of brilliance — he was a football punter averaging better than 53 yards a kick his junior year, and he scored eight goals in the first three soccer games this season—but has endured two hip surgeries along the way.

“I wanted my three boys to have an opportunity to play any sport they want,” Luckhurst said. “I think it’s getting so specialized. My youngest will play baseball, soccer, football, and golf. If they want to go on and play in college, n it’s brilliant, but it’s not essential.”

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES

WEEK OF DECEMBER 13

LIBRA

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In 1930, some British mystery writers

formed a club to provide each other with artistic support and conviviality. They swore an oath to write their stories so that solving crimes happened solely through the wits of their fictional detectives, and not through “Divine Revelation, Feminine Intuition, Mumbo Jumbo, Jiggery-Pokery, or Act of God.” I understand that principle but don’t endorse it for your use in the coming weeks. On the contrary. I hope you’ll be on the alert and receptive to Divine Revelations, Feminine Intuition, Mumbo Jumbo, Jiggery-Pokery, and Acts of God.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): When you’re prescribed antibiotic pills

to fight off infection, you should finish the entire round.

If you stop taking the meds partway through because you’re feeling better, you might enable a stronger version of the original infector to get a foothold in your system. This lesson provides an apt metaphor for a process you’re now undergoing. As you seek to purge a certain unhelpful presence in your life, you must follow through to the end. Don’t get lax halfway through.

Keep on cleansing yourself and shedding the unwanted influence beyond the time you’re sure you’re free of it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Danish scientist and poet Piet Hein wrote this melancholy meditation: “Losing one glove is painful, but nothing compared to the pain of losing one, throwing away the other, and finding the first one again.” Let his words serve as a helpful warning to you, Gemini. If you lose one of your gloves, don’t immediately get rid of the second. Rather, be patient and await the eventual reappearance of the first. The same principle applies to other things that might temporarily go missing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian author Elizabeth Gilbert is

a soulful observer whose prose entertains and illuminates me. She’s well aware of her own limitations, how-

ever. For example, she writes, “Every few years, I think, (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Among the pieces of jewelry worn ‘Maybe now I’m finally smart enough or sophisticated by superstar Elvis Presley were a Christian cross and a enough to understand Ulysses. So I Star of David. “I don’t want to miss pick it up and try it again. And by out on heaven due to a technicalHOMEWORK: Do a homemade page 10, as always, I’m like, ‘What ity,” he testified. In that spirit, and ritual in which you vow to attract the hell?’ ” Gilbert is referring to more blessings into your life.

Now is a favorable time to acknowledge to offer you in the future. Show your appreciation for and accept that there are certain good influences and those who have helped make you who you are. And interesting things that you will simply never be able to be as open-minded and welcoming and multicultural benefit from. And that’s okay! as you can genuinely be. Your motto is “Embrace the

(July 23-Aug. 22): More than three centuries ago, Dutch

immigrants in New York ate a dessert known as the olykoek, or oily cake: sugar-sweetened dough deepfried in pig fat. It was the forerunner of the modern doughnut. One problem with the otherwise delectable snack was that the center wasn’t always fully cooked.

In 1847, a man named Hanson Gregory finally found a solution. Using a pepper shaker, he punched a hole in the middle of the dough, thus launching the shape that has endured until today. I bring this to your attention because I suspect you’re at a comparable turning point. If all goes according to cosmic plan, you will discover a key innovation that makes a pretty good thing even better.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I can’t believe I’m going to quote pop

star Selena Gomez. But according to my analysis of the current astrological omens, her simple, homespun advice could be especially helpful to you in the coming weeks. “Never look back,” she says. “If Cinderella had looked back and picked up the shoe, she would have never found her prince.” Just to be clear, Virgo, I’m not saying you’ll experience an adventure that has a plot akin to the Cinderella fairy tale. But I do expect you will benefit from a “loss” as long as you’re focused on what’s ahead of you rather than what’s behind you.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the fairy tale “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” the heroine rejects both the options that are too puny and too excessive. She wisely decides that just enough is exactly right. I think she’s a good role model for you. After your time of feeling somewhat deprived, it would be understandable if you were tempted to crave too much and ask for too much and grab too much. It would be understandable, yes, but mistaken. For now, just enough is exactly right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1140, two dynasties were at war in

power over your addiction? If you live in Michigan or Illinois, you can formally blacklist yourself from all casinos. Anytime your resolve wanes and you wander into a casino, you can be arrested and fined for trespassing. I invite you to consider a comparable approach as you work to free yourself from a bad habit or debilitating obsession. Enlist some help in enforcing your desire to refrain. Create an obstruction that will interfere with your ability to act on negative impulses.

Weinsberg, in what’s now southern Germany. Conrad III, leader of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, laid siege to the castle at Weinsberg, headquarters of the rival Welf dynasty. Things went badly for the Welfs, and just before Conrad launched a final attack, they surrendered. With a last-minute touch of mercy, Conrad agreed to allow the women of the castle to flee in safety along with whatever possessions they could carry. The women had an ingenious response. They lifted their husbands onto their backs and hauled them away to freedom. Conrad tolerated the trick, saying he would stand by his promise. I foresee a metaphorically comparable opportunity arising for you, Aquarius. It won’t be a life-or-death situation like that of the Welfs, but it will resemble it in that your original thinking can lead you and yours to greater freedom.

don’t at least try to do something remarkable?” Author John Green asked that question. I confess that I’m not entirely comfortable with it. It’s a bit pushy. I find I’m more likely to do remarkable things if I’m not trying too hard to do remarkable things. Nevertheless, I offer it as one of your key themes for 2019. I suspect you will be so naturally inclined to do remarkable things that you won’t feel pressure to do so. Here’s my only advice: Up the ante on your desire to be fully yourself; dream up new ways to give your most important gifts; explore all the possibilities of how you can express your soul’s code with vigor and rigor.

Information reported on a 15-year-old boy who had the notion that he could make himself into a superhero. First, he arranged to get bitten by many spiders in the hope of acquiring the powers of Spider-Man. That didn’t work. Next, he injected mercury into his skin, theorizing it might give him talents comparable to the Marvel Comics mutant character named Mercury. As you strategize to build your power and clout in 2019, Pisces, I trust you won’t resort to questionable methods like those. You won’t need to! Your intuition should steadily guide you, providing precise information on how to proceed. And it all starts now.

ROMAN A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: LOLLY R. SANGSTER and CHRISTINA C. R. LEE in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that: LOLLY R.
