The Strange Stories of Yiddishland: What the Yiddish Press Reveals about the Jews An underground history of downwardly mobile Jews, Eddy Portnoy’s book, Bad Rabbi and Other Strange but True Stories from the Yiddish Press, Press, mines century-old Yiddish newspapers to expose the seamy underbelly of pre-WWII New York and Warsaw, the two major centers of Yiddish culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With true stories of Jewish drunks, murderers, wrestlers, psychics and beauty queens, all plucked from the pages of Yiddish dailies, Eddy Portnoy reveals unusual and unexpected aspects of Jewish urban life. One part Isaac Bashevis Singer, one part Jerry Springer, this irreverent, unvarnished, and frequently hilarious compendium of stories provides a window into an unknown Yiddish world that was.

Name: Amelia Buckley • Title: News Intern What have you learned about news writing? You can never ask too many questions, and unexpected sources sometimes yield the most useful information. Also, never go into an assignment with too many assumptions, because you never know where your reporting will lead you.

What have you learned about Santa Barbara as a community? There are so many people working to enact positive changes in our community that I never knew about. I’ve been lucky to speak with some of these people and organizations firsthand, and it’s inspiring to see the dedication and innovation impacting Santa Barbara for the better every day.

Think you’ll go into journalism when you graduate, or did we scare you off of the idea? I definitely still want to go into journalism when I graduate. Working at the Independent has taught me that it is vitally important to have a passionate group of people asking critical questions about happenings in our community, and I would love to be one of those people.

PUBLIC ACCESS

DISTANT SHORES: A privately negotiated settlement agreement between Hollister Ranch owners and two state agencies would open Cuarta Beach (pictured) to the general public, but only to those with the financial and athletic wherewithal to arrive via small boat or personal watercraft. That’s unfair and dangerous, according to a legal challenge submitted by the Gaviota Coast Trail Alliance, overseen by Judge Colleen Sterne (below), who faces a disqualification petition filed by the Hollister Ranch Owners Association.

Hollister Ranch Moves to Oust Judge in Public-Access Battle Petition ‘Misrepresents’ Position of State Agencies

by Keith Hamm n an ongoing legal battle over public access to a beach at Hollister Ranch, the Hollister Ranch Owners Association (HROA) has petitioned the California Supreme Court to disqualify Judge Colleen Sterne, who has presided over the litigation for six years. At issue is a privately crafted settlement agreement struck between the HROA and two state agencies — the Coastal Conservancy and the Coastal Commission — to expand guided-access opportunities for nonprofits while opening Cuarta Beach to the general public for daytime use. According to the settlement, the public would only be allowed to reach Cuarta Beach via small watercraft, such as paddleboard, kayak, or soft-bottom boat.

The roughly four-mile round trip from Gaviota State Park would be through nearshore waters prone to suddenly changing conditions.

Last May, despite objections from both sides, Sterne ordered HROA and the state

“new territory” by lawyers keen on the case. Among other issues, the Trail Alliance has argued that the settlement agreement is not fair because the general public was not allowed to participate in a negotiation that would require the state to abandon rights to an overland route to Cuarta Beach via a public-access offer established nearly 40 years ago when the Metropolitan YMCA of Los Angeles sought to build a recreation center on property it owned in Cuarta Canyon.

Led by attorney Barry Cappello in its move to oust Sterne, HROA’s petition states that her “ruling shows a bias in favor of the Trail Alliance position” and has “prejudged the [alliance] as a better representative of the public than the [Coastal Commission and Coastal Conservancy].” In a court appearance last month, Cappello addressed Sterne directly. “Your procedures have blown up this litigation,” he said.

If parties do not like a judge’s ruling, the proper procedure is an appeal — not a petition to disqualify the judge.

NEWS BRIEFS COUNTY This May, Rob Lewin, director of the Santa Barbara County Office of Emergency Management (OEM), will retire from the post he’s held nearly four years. Lewin led OEM during the Thomas Fire — briefly the biggest wildfire in state history — and the 1/9 Debris Flow, the deadliest natural disaster in county history. County spokesperson Gina DePinto said Lewin leaves the department stronger and more cohesive; she said no plans have been finalized as to who will fill in as interim director. Last year, Lewin applied for the appointment as the county’s new fire chief but did not get the nod.

The drama has ended surrounding Camp 4, which on Monday was once again joined to the existing Chumash reservation in the Santa Ynez Valley. The Bureau of Indian Affairs’ 2014 decision to grant the land transfer was affirmed by the current assistant secretary, Tara MacLean Sweeney, on 2/25. Nancy Crawford-Hall, whose family owned Camp 4 before selling it to Fess Parker — his estate sold it to the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians — had successfully charged that the deputy who signed off on the decision was not empowered to do so at the time, bringing the decision back before the BIA. In affirming the transfer, Sweeney also dismissed all appeals. The county agreement with the tribe is now back in force.

Greka has been filling an unlined pit with hazardous waste without a permit at its asphalt refinery on Sinton Road in Santa Maria, the EPA announced on 2/21. Federal Environmental Protection Agency inspectors discovered the surface impoundment on December 13, 2018, which was holding water produced during the making of asphalt, naphtha, and compounds known as “light ends” from crude that was trucked in. EPA has ordered Greka to make a plan within 45 days to sample for any off-site waste migration.

to file its cross complaint. If parties do not like a judge’s ruling, the proper procedure is an appeal—not a petition to disqualify the judge. The Coastal Commission and Coastal Conservancy do not support this petition, which misrepresents our position.”

In its cross-complaint, the Trail Alliance has challenged the settlement agreement on several fronts. Among them, the complaint alleges, not only did the settlement’s behind-closed-doors negotiations violate state public-process laws, but it also discriminated against people without with the financial resources—and physical abilities —to operate the personal watercraft necessary to access Cuarta Beach, according to the cross-compliant. “The settlement is not just a bad and dangerous deal for the public; it was authorized in violation of state law.”

LAW & DISORDER A sedan crashed into the concrete roundabout on Milpas Street near midnight on 2/24. The driver of a Kia, with four passengers in it, skidded almost the length of a football field before hitting the barrier. A city police officer exiting a nearby store witnessed the Kia being followed by a vehicle, whose driver alleged a hit-and-run had occurred.

After the accident, the officer immediately alerted first responders and requested the Fire Department’s “jaws of life.” Two female passengers crawled from the wreckage, police officials said, and three males were extricated. All were taken to Cottage Hospital with critical injuries. The Kia driver, Joseph David Hernandez, 23, is on probation for DUI and now faces charges of hit-and-run, drug possession, drunk driving, and driving on a suspended license. He will be booked on $100,000 bail into County Jail when released from the hospital. n

Records Released in Train-Death Case

edical and mental-health records for Connor O’Keefe, the Santa Barbara High School senior killed by a train in March 2017, must be turned over to Amtrak in a wrongful-death lawsuit against the passenger rail service, Judge Colleen Sterne ruled this week. O’Keefe’s parents sued Amtrak, Caltrans, and the County of Santa Barbara in March 2018, alleging all three failed to provide adequate signage, access restrictions, and warnings for people crossing the tracks to and from the beach near Fernald Point Lane in Montecito, where O’Keefe was killed. Amtrak in turn subpoenaed O’Keefe’s records, arguing they are “directly relevant to why he decided to walk on the railroad tracks at the time of the fatal incident, in the path of a clearly visible and audible train.”

That Saturday afternoon, according to the county coroner report, O’Keefe was with friends when he went back to the car alone to get his camera, walking northbound on one side of the tracks while talking on his phone. The northbound train was traveling approximately 50 miles per hour near Sheffield Drive and struck O’Keefe from behind.

The coroner report ruled the death an accident. In their lawsuit, attorneys for O’Keefe’s parents claimed that train engineer Gavin Todd was not properly trained to blow the

horn and slow down in an area described as “a concealed trap” without proper fencing. Amtrak, however, has argued that there is reason to believe O’Keefe’s death may have been self-inflicted. The coroner report detailed how the night before the incident, a depressed O’Keefe was planning to jump off a bridge and later that same night considered intentionally overdosing on pills.

In her ruling to release O’Keefe’s records, Sterne said “the information is directly relevant to the defenses in the case,” explaining that they could reveal whether O’Keefe suffered from any physical medical conditions that prevented him from seeing, hearing, or reacting to the train, and if his mental state may have contributed to him not moving off the tracks.

Judge Affirms Public Right to Know in Dirty Cop Cases

J

udge Thomas Anderle rejected a procedural challenge waged by the Santa Barbara County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association against a new state law that opens up the personnel files of law enforcement officers investigated for serious misconduct allegations. That new law, SB 1421, was passed in response to public alarm over police misconduct generated in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement and went into effect January 1.

The Sheriffs’ Association — the union representing deputies and custody officers—argued Anderle should impose an injunction, limiting the public release of such personnel information to investigations taking place after the New Year.

Attorneys for police unions throughout the state have filed similar motions in different jurisdictions, arguing the legislation could not be enforced retroactively, but only prospectively. Nowhere in the bill, they’ve noted, is it explicitly stated what time constraints, if any, should be placed on the public release of highly sensitive information. Until now, such information has been strictly off-limits even to criminal defense attorneys except under certain legal circumstances and in highly restricted venues, such as the private chambers of judges. Under SB 1421, the general public has access to this information as well as criminal defense attorneys. In the

courtroom were about a dozen individuals representing social justice groups. One cardboard sign read, “Deputy Sheriffs Just Follow the Law.” Judge Anderle rejected the union arguments, insisting that the legislative intent was clear even if the legislators never articulated it. After much parsing of the deeper implications of intent, Anderle articulated what to his mind was the heart of the matter. “There was and is a crisis of mistrust surrounding officer conduct that SB 1421 seeks to address,” he wrote in his ruling. “The intent is clear that the Legislature wanted broad access to reports of past as well as future instances involving the discharge of weapons, use of force, sexual assault, and dishonesty.” Different judges are issuing divergent rulings on the same matter throughout the state; it’s expected the matter will be resolved by the Califor—Nick Welsh nia Supreme Court.

PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: James Joyce III (standing) addresses the crowd at Coffee with a Black Guy, held last weekend at the Sandbox.

‘We Have to Pull the Scab off This Thing Called Race’ James Joyce III Creates Space for Interracial Dialogue

by Brandon Fastman wo and a half years ago, as the drumbeat of national news stories about police shooting and killing unarmed black men had reached a steady cadence, most recently with the additions of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, Santa Barbara resident James Joyce III decided to act on a desire to foster cross-racial dialogues in the community. His brainchild, Coffee with a Black Guy, signifies on Coffee with a Cop, a nonprofit organization that encourages conversation between police officers and members of the community in which they work.

“The cops don’t want to be demonized because of their uniforms,” Joyce said in a brief interview before the latest iteration of the event last Saturday at the Sandbox coworking space, suggesting that there’s a flip side to the coin. Joyce conjured Coffee with a Black Guy with his cousin, Jarrett Brown, who lives in Florida but visited Santa Barbara to attend. Brown said that after police shootings, he heard a lot of people asking why black people would be afraid of cops or suggesting that maybe if they just listened to the police, they wouldn’t be harmed.

“Nobody was stopping to say, ‘Hey, let me hear where you’re coming from,’ ” said Brown, who livestreamed the event, the largest one yet with more than 50 people attending and the imprimatur of the Lois and Walter Capps Project. The idea behind the event is for people to ask questions and share their experiences in a judgment-free zone.

When a white attendee asked what it’s like being a black man in Santa Barbara, the floodgates opened. Black men and women, some longtimers and some young professional transplants, spoke to the palpable isolation of living in an area with such a small African-American community. They spoke about being the only black person in their place of work or out having a drink.

White colleagues not taking them seriously.

Coworkers using the “n-word” in a business setting. Then there were the indignities of

T

everyday life. Strangers asking them if they have drugs to sell, if they are athletes, if they can touch their hair. A white man shared the experience of his black partner asking a store clerk a question and the clerk answering to him, not his partner. Joyce suggested that when encountering such acts of racial bias, white folks should speak up to “check” that behavior.

Perhaps the greatest tension in the room was navigating what one participant labeled the gap between intention and impact.

Well-intentioned people can still say hurtful things. It’s more helpful for everyone to own up to their internalized biases, she said, than to reflexively claim they aren’t racist.

Things came full circle when the last audience member to speak, a white woman, said that she doesn’t see color. As emcee, Joyce took on the tricky task of embracing friction without sparking a fire. He explained why he “wholeheartedly disagree[s]” with the concept of colorblindness — because he’s a black person in a society that isn’t colorblind — but he did so without making the questioner feel attacked.

Although the conversation was fairly unstructured, Joyce noted the context of Saturday’s event. He mentioned grievances by black students at UCSB and City College, the latter having escalated after a white employee used the unabbreviated n-word in a meeting. He also played a video clip of the writer Ta-Nehisi Coates explaining why it’s offensive for white people to use the actual word.

District Director for State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, Joyce said he asked for her blessing before launching Coffee with a Black Guy. He did not want his project to overshadow his (and his boss’s) job of representing all her constituents. As attendees of the event left their seats to mingle over tacos and refreshments, there was some evidence that Joyce might achieve his goal of encouraging everyday conversations across racial divides, even when there is no special event n or free coffee.

This brings the city’s contribution to nearly $60,000.

Councilmember Kristen Sneddon, a self-described ardent camper, acknowledged that at 35 degrees, “It’s unbearable to get through the night.”

Mayor Cathy Murillo noted that PATH opens its emergency winter beds when the mercury hits 40 or below. She also suggested the time to debate the proper trigger points would be after this winter’s season ends. (The 35-degree limit was originally set—as opposed to the 40-degree limit advocated by homeless supporters—in order to win the political support needed to secure funding for such shelters.)

COASTAL RELIEF: Theo Kracke (right), owner of Paradise Retreats, has won the latest round in a court battle against Santa Barbara City Attorney Ariel Calonne (left).

Judge Rules Against Vacation Rental Ban

I

n a tentative decision last week, Ventura County Superior Court Judge Mark Borrell ruled that the City of Santa Barbara must allow short-term vacation rentals (STVRs) to operate near the beach. Borrell’s ruling upends a portion of the city’s 2015 enforcement crackdown against the burgeoning industry, spurred by complaints that STVRs violated zoning laws meant to protect family neighborhoods and further impacted an already strained long-term rental market. The lawsuit against the city was brought by Theo Kracke, owner of Paradise Retreats, a business that connects Santa Barbara visitors and vacationers to clients willing to rent their homes for stays of less than 30 days. “This is a tentative decision, so we are cautiously optimistic,” Kracke said in a statement. “Nevertheless, we are thrilled it appears the court embraced our arguments that the city acted improperly.”

Kracke — represented by Rogers, Sheffield & Campbell LLP — argued that the city’s effort to ramp up enforcement violated the California Coastal Act, which requires seaside communities statewide to provide affordable visitor lodging within a close-to-shore area called the Coastal Zone.

In Borrell’s ruling, the city failed to secure a coastal development permit from the California Coastal Commission, a requirement when an activity significantly “changes the intensity of use of land or water, even where no construction is involved,” according to the state agency. Citywide STVRs outside the Coastal Zone are unaffected by the court ruling. City Attorney Ariel Calonne has said he’ll appeal. Last year, the Coastal Commission denied Santa Barbara County’s attempt to ban STVRs in unincorporated neighborhoods within the Coastal Zone.

Mental-Health Team Finds Weapons

The subject also made remarks expressing admiration for Isla Vista mass murderer Elliot Rodger. At least seven law enforcement officers — from both the Santa Barbara County Sheriff ’s Office and Santa Barbara Police Department — were on hand. The subject, reportedly an accomplished professional poker player who lives with his parents, did not resist. According

to one of the enforcement agents involved, all the guns were legally registered; some appeared to have been custom-made. The handguns were large-caliber weapons, and at least some of the weapons had been illegally altered to make them effectively fully automatic. The weapon buried in the yard was a long rifle. The subject was taken to Cottage Hospital, where a 5150 determination was made, meaning the subject posed an imminent threat to himself or others and could be held up to 72 hours against his will. To date, there’s no evidence that a crime has taken place. Santa Barbara police executed a gun-violence restraining order, meaning the guns have been seized and will be held pending a judicial determination.

This is reportedly not the first contact law enforcement have had with the subject. More than a year ago, officers pulled him over during a traffic stop and discovered nine weapons in the car, as well as body armor. There being no evidence of a crime, he was let go.

The subject has not come to the attention of mental-health workers before, however, and there’s no evidence he’s received any therapy.

Even a Blind Dog Is Wrong Twice a Day

BIG TROUBLE: Call it implicit bias. Maybe it’s profiling. The fact is I can’t tell one billionaire bald guy from the next. It’s a bigger

problem than you might think.

Early Sunday morning, two weeks ago, I was shopping at Smart & Final on Gutierrez Street. I was stocking up on beans and beer and enjoying a little Sabbath solitude.

But there in the aisle where pink pastries are sold, I encountered none other than Thomas Barrack II — investment mogul, owner of Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, and most infamously, friend, advisor, and consigliore to Donald Trump and the chair of Trump’s inaugural committee. The guy had Barrack’s signature chrome dome; he had the same telltale squint lines, common to all visionaries who stare off into the future. And even on a cold, gray Sunday morning, the guy exuded all the gracious masculine ease that makes Barrack so irresistible.

Still, it seemed a little improbable that a guy whose company, Colony Capital, oversees in the neighborhood of $44 billion would be wandering the aisles of a low-end bulk food store. I checked again. He looked the same age as Barrack—71—and was fit and trim like Barrack. He wore black athletic warm-up pants and was sporting a ball cap bearing some horse-related logo. Barrack, as everyone knows, is nuts about polo. He plays all the time; he owns his own team.

An intimate moment was taking place in

front of me involving a man and his pastries.

I didn’t want to intrude. Had I known then what I’ve since learned, however, it might have made more sense. Barrack has hit hard times. In fact, he just put Michael Jackson’s famed Neverland Ranch — which, in light of resurgent allegations of the pop star’s pedophilia, they’ve attempt to rebrand as the “Sycamore Valley Ranch”—on the market for a scant $31 million; that’s $69 million less than the asking price just a few years ago. In recent months, Barrack has been dragged in front of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s inquisition chambers, where he was questioned about foreign agents seeking to curry favor with the Trump administration by making big donations. On that Sunday morning, Barrack had recently shocked the planet by trivializing the bloody bone-saw assassination of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, a great irritant to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. “Whatever happened in Saudi Arabia, the atrocities in America are

equal, or worse, to the atrocities in Saudi Arabia,” Barrack said, thus generating a wind

storm of outrage and backpedaling that could power Melbourne, Australia, for three weeks.

One day after, Barrack clarified that Khashoggi’s lethal communion with power tools was both “atrocious and inexcusable.”

Barrack’s initial remarks should not have surprised anyone. Barrack was the one, after all, who in 2016 introduced then candidate Donald Trump to then political consultant

Paul Manafort to briefly run Trump’s presidential campaign. That’s the same Manafort who got puppets of Vladimir Putin “elected” in Ukraine and the very same Manafort who so softened the Republican Party’s denunciation of Putin after he invaded Ukraine.

Manafort is now pleading for leniency from the judge who could put him behind bars for 22 years for multiple counts of tax fraud and lying to investigators. For more than 20 years, Manafort was part of something known as “The Torturers’ Lobby,” representing some of the bloodiest dictators in the world. He was proud of it. I would say it’s a little late to talk about mercy with the likes of Paul Manafort.

Just as I was getting ready to shout out, “Hey, Tom!” at Smart & Final, I panicked.

What if the guy in front of me was really Jeff Bezos, the famously shiny-pated executron of Amazon? I froze.

Amazon, not coincidentally, is about to lay down some heavy footprints in downtown Santa Barbara in the Saks Off 5th building, emerging as State Street’s savior only after its online sales machine has laid waste to Santa Barbara’s retail core and that of thousands of other American downtowns. No one knows if a fulfillment center will go on the ground floor. But the upper floors will be occupied by hundreds of highly paid Artificial Intelligence geeks figuring out new things Alexa, Amazon’s omniscient android help-mate, can do for us that we should be doing for ourselves.

Classes & Workshops Start Every Week

The good news? Downtown could soon be hopping with warm young bodies with lots of spending power. The bad news? With a sudden influx of young, eager-beaver Alexa acolytes making up to $150,000, get ready for Santa Barbara’s ambient rents to escalate.

As you know, Bezos — owner of the Washington Post—has just declared war on the National Enquirer —Trump’s personal newspaper and one of only a small handful of papers aside from the Santa Barbara News-Press to actually endorse Trump. The Enquirer outed an affair Bezos had been having with a television news star named Lauren Sanchez. Coincidentally—and more to the point—the Enquirer’s parent company, American Media, recently published a glossy, expensive-looking magazine extolling the visionary virtues of the new Saudi regime.

This coincidence prompted both the Saudi government and American Media to deny that the Saudi government had any role leaking news of the Bezos affair. That, of course, confirms that it did. The Post has spared little ink denouncing the Saudi government for the mutilation of its columnist.

Not wanting to embarrass myself by confusing Bezos for Barrack, I bit my tongue. Two homeless guys pushing a shopping cart in the checkout line next to me did not. They let me know they approved of my choice in beer.

The bottles, they said, were especially heavy.

Just 30 of them could fetch $7 in recycling money. And the beer, they said, was good too.

And as it turns out, they were right.

Helen Langsev Ambler 04/29/22-02/01/19

Helen Langsev Ambler was born and raised at the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers in Portland, Oregon and spent her childhood weekends on the Washougal River. Her love of rivers and ocean waters shaped and fed her spirit and she would return to them throughout her life. Helen passed away peacefully on February 1st, 2019, following a full life as an educator, designer, environmentalist, dancer, and nature lover. We like to think of her now, snorkeling in crystal blue Hawaiian waters, sitting by a rushing mountain stream, floating down the Truckee River, or paddling her inflatable boat around huge boulders at Sand Harbor in Lake Tahoe.

Helen was born April 29, 1922 in her parents’ home in Portland, OR. Her father, David Bruce Ambler, County Engineer of Multnomah County, constructed many bridges in and around Portland. From him she inherited her respect for nature and natural processes and often quoted him saying, “You don’t do it until you know how to clean it up!”

From her mother, Adelle May Barrett-Lyde, she inherited a love of dance, music, and adventure. Her mother also taught her the skills of sewing, tailoring, and cooking that Helen later put to use in her career.

Helen was the middle of three daughters. She talked of waking up early to do chores before school, feeding the cows and tending to the chickens; roller-skating long distances in Portland to school and activities; and how her social life was organized around Job’s daughters. The family went almost every weekend, summer or winter, to their cabin on the pristine Washougal River in Washington, where they swam, rowed, and fished for trout and trapped crawfish. Pulling bracken fern, splitting wood, and drawing water were some of the tasks required before being allowed to “go down to the river,” her described goal at that time in their lives.

When Helen was in Junior High School, her father’s second cousin, Sylvia Bryant, visited their home.

While sitting in their comfortable living room listening to tales of Sylvia’s around-the-world cruise, Sylvia made the casual comment, “None of you have ever visited me in Hawaii.” Helen stored the offhand invitation in the back of her mind. After high school, Helen bagged ice cream bars for 25 cents an hour to earn passage to Hawaii.

In June 1941, at the mailbox in front of her parents’ home, she 16

boarded the Greyhound bus to San Francisco and from there, the USS Mariposa to Honolulu. Helen’s love affair with Hawaii began while living with Sylvia in a cottage on a sprawling estate - with an enormous lawn, coconut palms, and a rushing stream nearby. Helen enjoyed learning about the history of the people who populated the islands and the local geography, weather, and wild life. She wrote, “It rained every night in these deep valleys, encouraging the reproduction of scorpions and the heavenly fragrance of Night Blooming Cereus.”

Helen was scheduled to begin at the University of Hawaii in January. On the morning of December 7th, 1941, standing outside their cottage, Helen recalls actually seeing the faces of the Japanese pilots as they flew past on their way to bomb Pearl Harbor. The attack on Pearl Harbor impacted Helen deeply; while there, she visited hospitals and wrote letters home from wounded soldiers. When visitors were ordered to leave, Helen sailed on Christmas Day, with the first convoy back to the mainland.

Helen spent the next couple of years at Northwest Business College and working in Portland, OR. In April of 1943 she joined the United States Coast Guard Women’s reserve, known as SPARS. After basic training at Hunter College, Bronx, New York, she went to Palm Beach, FL where she was in the first class to graduate from Yeoman School. She was stationed at the “Captain of the port of LA” in the Los Angeles Yacht Harbor in Wilmington, CA. It was there that she met her future husband Richard “Dick” Boatman. They married in the spring of 1944 and lived on the base until he was deployed. After the war, with the help of the GI Bill, they completed their educations at Oregon State University. Helen was one of very few married, pregnant women in classes. Daughter Christine was born in 1949 while Helen was in her last year at OSU. She graduated with a BS in Sociology and a minor in Art and Home Economics. Helen’s marriage to Dick ended in 1955.

While she was working toward her Master’s degree and starting her teaching career in Portland public schools, Helen met her second husband, Floyd Langsev.

They married in 1956 and moved to Menlo Park, CA. where their daughter Terilynn was born in 1957. Helen was a stay-at-home mom for many years. She was a Girl Scout leader for both daughters, volunteered to support the families of disabled children, taught marketable skills to women in prison, and was also active in the American Association of University Women (AAUW). Every summer, the family camped, swam, and fished along a river in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and visited family in Oregon.

It was around this time, on a trip to the Sea of Cortez, that Helen

FEBRUARY 28, 2019

was introduced to snorkeling, an activity she discovered a love for. She returned to it frequently throughout her life, even up to her 90th birthday.

In 1967 Helen returned to college for her Master’s Degree at San Jose State University. Subsequently she taught seven years at the College of Notre Dame in Belmont, then on to the Foothill-De Anza Jr. College District where she taught Interior Design and Textiles and wrote the course on “History of Interiors,” while working parttime as a licensed ASID Interior Designer at the Franciscan Forge.

Helen was keenly aware of the challenges that women faced as homemakers and mothers when trying to get an education. Seeing an opportunity to help, she developed and taught college level, forcredit cooking and design classes on public-access television for Ohlone Junior College. She mailed workbooks to students and insisted that there be a sign language interpreter on set for deaf students.

Intelligent, irreverent, outspoken, and a force to be reckoned with, Helen was a woman of depth and character and had a quick mind and keen wit. A true pioneer, she challenged the roles prescribed for women in her generation and helped to pave the way for expanding women’s rights and opportunities. She worked very hard and believed strongly that education was the path to women’s equality.

When Helen’s marriage to Floyd ended after 23 years, Helen moved to Truckee, CA and joined the Interior Design professionals at the Ethan Allen Gallery in Reno, NV. On her daily commute from Truckee to Reno, she loved watching the Truckee River as it flowed through the seasons. After a couple of years being a “mountain woman,” she moved to Reno and lived on the Truckee River until retiring from Ethan Allen in 1989.

Helen spent the next couple of years traveling extensively in Europe, Paris being one of her favorite destinations. She attended many Elderhostel programs and deeply appreciated the educational aspect that they offered to travelers.

In 1993 Helen moved to Salem, OR and built a custom home with all the features she would include for a preferred client. Here she joined PEO and the Daughters of the Nile.

In 1999 she “retired from house and yard work” and spent a winter golfing and snorkeling in Kona, Hawaii, before moving to Santa Barbara to live at Valle Verde (VV), where she nurtured many friendships and continued her involvement in AAUW and the PEO Sisterhood. She enjoyed attending Unity Church, line dancing, and choreographing dances for VV residents. She was an avid reader and bridge player, an armchair expert on Georgia O’Keeffe, and a frequent participant in the VV biannual flower show.

Helen felt that her greatest contribution was teaching and said

that her greatest joy was raising her daughters. She was motivated to work for change because she was touched deeply by the impact of social, political, and environmental injustices. She loved children and found simple, heart-felt joy when singing with others. Her nononsense, clever take on things was often shared with humor that had us laughing out loud. Helen will be missed.

Helen had a debilitating stroke in 2013. She was able to enjoy fulfilling activities in the intervening years and was lovingly cared for by her daughter and a close-knit team of dedicated and skilled caregivers, to whom we are eternally grateful.

Helen is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Christine and Geoff Gross; their son Nick (the apple of Helen’s eye), and his wife Jenn; Nick and Jenn’s children Riley, 17, Lauren, 7, and Harper, 5; and Helen’s daughter Terilynn Langsev. Also, by her sister Ann Boehlke and her nieces and nephews: Adelle Kelly, Lee Merwin, Kathy Gonzalez, David Merwin, and Robert Merwin.

For those wishing to remember Helen, contributions can be made to Oceana, an ocean conservation and advocacy organization.

In Memoriam

Joby Nuñez 1948-2019

Nuñez was born, his sister Lori tried to say “Joseph Baby,” and it came out “Joby.” He’s been Joby ever since. It is appropriate that his name resulted from a bridging of words because he will always be known for building bridges, in the form of human relationships.

In a region where there are spirited athletic rivalries among three high schools — Santa Barbara, San Marcos, and Dos Pueblos — Joby was a coach at all three.

When his funeral mass and celebration of life were held on February 9, hundreds of friends from Goleta to Carpinteria — and former UCSB football teammates from afar — spilled out the doors of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church and filled the grounds of the Carriage Museum.

“He’s one of a kind,” said Mel Carrozza, who came out from New York. “I’ve never seen so many people. Everybody has a conduit to Joby.”

His last years in education were as an administrator at both San Marcos and Dos Pueblos, and he continued to be a mentor to students. When his friend Hesselmeyer took over as football coach at San Marcos in 2009, Nuñez came out of retirement to lend a hand.

He also got involved in the Ye Ole Gang, Santa Barbara High’s Hall of Fame organization, and other foundations. “He was always doing something for other people,” Moropoulos said.

Eat right and exercise regularly.

Laura Lynn (Rodenburg) Allbritton, age 66, was the embodiment of this mantra. She was the epitome of good health and did everything right but it all went horribly wrong when she was diagnosed with Glioblastoma (GBM) brain cancer 19 months ago. She fought valiantly and even participated in several experimental trials to help advance GBM research to find a cure but alas, it was not to be. Laura was born on November 24, 1952, in Council Bluffs, IA, to Wayne and Betty Rodenburg and grew up on a farm near Underwood, Iowa. She graduated from Underwood High School in 1971 and was a member of the National Honor Society.

Laura pursued her undergraduate degree at the University of Iowa where she continued her education, earning her Juris Doctor diploma from the College of Law in 1977. Her legal career began in Des Moines, IA, as a law clerk for IA Supreme Court Chief Justice Ward Reynoldson. She remained in Des Moines for another year, practicing family law at a local firm. Though she didn’t know a soul in Dallas, TX, she answered an advertisement for a position with the firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld and began in the fall of 1979. Laura enjoyed the work and excitement of living in Big D and became active in Toastmasters.

Ten years after moving to TX she was awarded the honor of, “Dallas Attorney of the Year”! Through her practice of law she met her future husband, Edwin Allbritton.

They were married April 25, 1992, and that’s when her life adventures really began! From the markets of Marrakesh, to the Serengeti plains, to the green beauty of New Zealand and to the glamour of Paris, she and Ed enjoyed traveling the world. She eventually retired from her law practice and went to

FEBRUARY 28, 2019

work in her husband’s company, Allbritton Capital Management.

After they both retired they bought a home in Santa Barbara, CA, and Laura became active in the Los Fiesteros Dance Club. Even though they both enjoyed Santa Barbara, Ed yearned for a home in the TX Hill Country so they built a home in Pipe Creek. Laura loved nothing more than donning an evening gown to dance the night away while Ed preferred donning hunting gear. They were the quintessential “Green Acres” couple, combining both lifestyles and living life to the fullest. Then suddenly, tragedy struck. Ed was killed by a distracted driver while riding his bicycle near Bandera, TX, on Mother’s Day, 2015. After that, Laura’s life pretty much “went to the dogs”. To assuage her grief, she began actively rescuing dogs.

She sponsored several rescue organizations and personally provided many animals with medical care while they recovered at her ranch until they were placed in fur-ever homes around the country. To this date, she is credited with rescuing over 165 dogs and one cat! Now we can only hope and pray that “all dogs go to Heaven” as Laura will be very disappointed if there is no canine contingent to greet her at the Pearly Gates!

Laura is survived by her stepdaughters, Leigh Allbritton of Dallas, TX, and Hillary (Mark) Kokes; and granddaughters, Hadley and Avery Kokes all of Palos Verdes Estates, CA; sister-in-law Marcia Fasy of Morro Bay, CA; sister Lynda (Jim) Cote; nephew Chris Cote; niece Alison (Kevin) Mock; great-nieces Sloane and Clare Mock, all of San Diego, CA. She is preceded in death by her beloved parents and husband.

Visitation will begin at 1PM with services beginning at 2PM at Ebensberger-Fisher Funeral Home in Boerne, TX, on Monday, February 25, 2019. A reception will follow at Laura’s favorite Boerne restaurant, Valeria, from 4-6PM. Interment will be at 1PM on Wednesday, February 27, 2019, at the DallasFort Worth National Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please send memorials to the Univ. of TX MD Anderson Cancer Center at P.O. Box 4486, Houston, TX 772104486 or online at www.mdanderson.org/gifts. Specify the memorial for Laura Rodenburg Allbritton and designate GBM Research, OR sponsor, support or adopt a rescue dog and keep their tails wagging!

JoAnne Elaine (Castro) Dommeyer 08/03/53-02/08/19

JoAnne Elaine (Castro) Dommeyer of Santa Ynez Valley received her Golden Wings when she passed away on February 8, 2019, at the St. John’s Pleasant Valley Hospital. She is now set free to dance in Heaven, and has been reunited with her beloved husband.

JoAnne was born on August 3, 1953, to Eleanor and Fred Castro.

She was raised with her six brothers in a lively and love filled household in Carpinteria, CA. Growing up by the beach, JoAnne had a special and deep connection with the ocean. In her time at Carpinteria High School, JoAnne was a song leader, participated in drama, and became involved with the Chicano Student Rights Movement; she was the president of M.E.C.H.A. and a proud member of the Jr. Brown Berets. She graduated from Carpinteria High School in 1971, and shortly after married her high school sweetheart, Donald J. Dommeyer.

JoAnne was a loving and devoted wife. She and Don moved to North Carolina, where Don was stationed in the army. They returned to live in Summerland, and eventually moved to the Santa Ynez Valley, to raise their family on a little slice of heaven in Los Olivos.

JoAnne found great joy in being of service to others. She poured love into delicious home-cooked meals that she often made for family and friends. If there were ever a friend in need, JoAnne and Don would open their home, offering a bite to eat, love, care, and a place to stay. JoAnne often said that she wanted her home to be like a lighthouse, shining light to those in need.

One of JoAnne’s favorite pastimes was playing slow-pitch softball. She spent many years on a softball field developing deep connections with her teammates.

The slow-pitch softball community was more like a village of people that helped raise and shape her family. Some of her closest and dearest friends were her teammates. JoAnne was an outstanding pitcher and known for remaining calm under pressure, she had a grace about her and kept her cool

in the toughest situations. She shared a love for the sport that was passed down to her five children; she took her skills and applied it to coach her children's sports teams.

She was loved by all the children whose lives she touched. She coached T-ball, middle school and high school softball, AYSO soccer, volleyball, cheerleading, and was involved with Girl Scouts.

JoAnne loved the Lord with all her heart; she developed an unwavering faith that fueled her soul during her most difficult times. For many years she was a member of the Santa Ynez Foursquare Church serving as a Deacon. She played the bongos on the worship team, hosted Bible studies, and prayer nights. JoAnne showed her creative side through her paintings, cards, and poetry writing. She filled journals with her insights, songs, and wisdom. She was the go-to sign maker for many community events.

Her can-do attitude, punny humor, gentle softness, and empathetic understanding made her a lovely, beaming light within the community and beyond. As a mother and grandmother, she was patient and remained calm, caring, loving, and kind beyond words.

She prided herself in leading by example and had a way about her that encouraged others to learn, grow, and become the best version of themselves.

In 2008, she was diagnosed with a rare form of Parkinson's disease, called Multiple Systems Atrophy.

For years JoAnne remained cared for in her home; although her body fell into severe decline, her mind, heart, and faith stayed strong.

JoAnne was eventually admitted to Sub Acute care, where she lived out the rest of her days. During that time, she enjoyed holiday trips to Carpinteria, the occasional trip to the beach, and found joy in hearing stories about the lives of her family and friends. JoAnne continued to show an unparalleled strength and positivity, that shone through her existence like rays of sunshine; full of faith that the Lord was always with her and using her in his plan.

JoAnne is survived by her five children Denicia, Erika, Bobby, Caydi and Christiana Dommeyer; her three grandchildren Anthony, Mikey and Sydney Gills; her six brothers Louie, Eddie and Bobby Calderon, Danny, Freddy and Abel Castro.

Friends and family that would like to gather for a Celebration of Life, please join the family on Saturday, March 23 from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Santa Ynez Valley Presbyterian Church, 1825 Alamo Pintado Rd, Solvang.

Laurie Lynn Richardson

Laurie Lynn Richardson was born in Walnut Creek, CA, the oldest of six children. She often helped with her younger siblings, a skill-set that served her well in her decades-long career as a teacher.

Alfred loved to travel and took his family on many trips to national parks and other destinations in the United States and Canada. In later years, he preferred cruising and visited several countries in Europe and Central and South America.

Alfred was predeceased by Maisie, his wife of 61 years. He is survived by his daughters Jennifer Johnson (Stephen) and Elaine; his grandchildren, Matthew (Anna) and Rebecca Head (Jason); and three great grandsons, Jeremy, David, and James.

A graveside service was held on February 12 at Santa Barbara Cemetery.

Joanne Frye Nay 12/02/35-01/13/19

Joanne Frye Nay passed away early in her eighty-fourth year from complications of dementia.

She was the oldest of four children of Albert and Ruby Frye, born in Los Angeles and educated initially in La Habra and then at Stanford. Following a junior year in Berlin, she graduated in 1958, the first female student to obtain a degree in industrial engineering at Stanford. The following year she married Paul Nay. Over the subsequent years she maintained a growing family, and was employed as an industrial engineer at Ampex and then at Josten’s in Porterville, California where she had increasing responsibilities and ultimately become chief engineer. Both she and her husband, a psychology professor at Porterville College, retired in 1997 and then moved to Santa Barbara, joining the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara in 2000, where Joanne served on the church board for several years. She also found a new talent through Santa Barbara City College, turning out a number of fused-glass works.

Her interests ranged widely throughout her life, encompassing multicultural activities especially involving women, not only in her professional field as a member of the Society of Women Engineers but in more distant areas, through travels and Earthwatch expeditions. While in Porterville she served for five years on the Tulare County Commission on the Status of Women. A tragedy late in her life was the death of Kevin, the oldest of her three sons.

She is survived by her husband Paul Nay, her sons Steve and John Nay, and her grandsons Ian and Andrew Nay. There will be a Celebration of Life for her at the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara at 3:00 PM Sunday, March 3. Contributions in her name to the Alzheimers Association or other groups fighting dementia would be welcome and appropriate.

Macduff Everton replied: “After Bishop Pike died, the new bishop wasn’t as supportive. He didn’t appoint my father to another church. Many of his supporters, angry at the vestry at Trinity, quit in protest to join All Saints-by-the-Sea. My father found work as a paralegal, approaching everything with equanimity and intelligence. He filled in for other priests when they needed help or vacations and was invited to give sermons on issues of the day. He never stopped fighting the good fight. My parents moved first to San Jose, then Bend, Oregon, and Boise, Idaho, where my father died in 2007, succumbing to melanoma, which the doctors attributed to his wartime service in naval intelligence while working in the South Pacific without sunscreen.

“My sister wrote me after reading the article. She says better than I can what sort of people my parents were.”

hat a heartwarming article about my American parents. The day I met them, I knew they stood for racial justice.

They opened their home to a stranger they met working at an assisted living facility, a refugee from the civil war in Ethiopia. They welcomed me and my daughter with open arms, open hearts, and they taught me, too, so many times, how to become a strong, financially stable American citizen, and how to succeed as an immigrant. They not only became my parents but became grandparents to my daughter. They took her to the library, picked up the best books to read, helped her with her homework and piano, and on weekends, not only were they my childcare, but they took her hiking and to farms and children’s museums.

I spent time learning the language and culture and overcoming the challenges of being new to a country I proudly call my home. I am an American, I pay taxes, I am a law-abiding citizen. I have worked 47 years as a nurse. I face challenges daily at both work and outside, but I am able to speak up, stand for what I believe, and I owe it to my American parents, Clyde and Frances Everton.

Every time things get out of control, especially nowadays, I go back to their mature advice. I am not sure I could have survived without it. These past two years have been so painful when people judge you because of the color of your skin rather than your humanity. I was very fortunate to meet a family that stood for equality of both social and racial justice. I miss them dearly. I am forever grateful.

egarding “Pini Forks Over $1.6 Million,” I am a parent of a City College student, whom I sent to live in an apartment on Oceano Ave. owned by Dario Pini.

I assumed the apartment was in great shape.

When she got there, it was horrible. My daughter cleaned, and I drove nine hours to help steam-clean the stained carpet, bleach the black mold from the shower, change the curtains (they had ticks), flea-bomb her room, and get rid of the flying bugs. The rental property managers unclogged the shower drain but otherwise could do nothing. I’m so upset they had no care to help us resolve the issues.

Two weeks later, I moved my daughter to another apartment, paying almost $2,000 and losing the rent already paid for the month.

On the Pledge

A

lex Diaz’s superb letter on the impropriety of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at SBCC board meetings led me to recall my first day of 4th grade in 1954. The teacher led us in the daily pledge, a custom I had welcomed, but then struck a most dissonant note, intoning “under God”—two words that Congress had added that year.

School had been a secular refuge from my parents’ overzealous religious indoctrination. Even now, when I attend a government meeting and hear “God” in the pledge or invocation, I cringe. How can this ostentatious show of piety not be deemed unconstitutional government endorsement of religion?

The answer lies in the shamefully disingenuous “logic” of religious zealots who’ve sat on our highest court (see the Town of Greece decision, 2014). They, like local pledge proponent Celeste Barber, posit that anyone who objects to hearing “under God” in the pledge or invocation can either quietly sit or excuse themselves until that pious preliminary has ended. This ignores

letters cont’d inconvenient facts. Try publicly disdaining “God” in a Bible Belt town where everyone knows everyone else’s business. Pious attendees will take note and proceed to ensure the infidel is forever marginalized, if not outright ostracized. The same discriminatory dynamic exists even here in supposedly pagan California.

Plain and simple, true believers want “God” in government to promote their faith, the better to lord it over nonbelievers. Myself, I’m praying (not to a deity) that the day comes when enough SBCC board meeting attendees absent themselves during the pledge that the board feels compelled to do the right thing: Either recite the pledge in its pre-1954 version or omit — Roberta Helms, S.B. it altogether.

s a onetime student and longtime financial contributor to the SBCC Foundation, I was at the meeting and spoke in favor of the Pledge and against hateful and inaccurate words used by Board President Robert Miller to describe the Pledge as “racist,” “nativist,” and “white nationalist.” I, too, was disgusted by the last speaker using a derogatory slur. SBCC needs healing, not hate. It also needs dramatically new leadership on the Board. All publicly funded educational institutions should foster an inclusive, safe environment where freedom of speech and diversity of thought are respected by all. Until SBCC returns to its roots as a place where the trustees and faculty refocus their energy into promoting character and critical thinking skills among all students, my wife and I are not writing another check.

very time discussion of the Pledge of Allegiance appears on Facebook, I feel duty bound to post this: “To believe that patriotism will not flourish if patriotic ceremonies are voluntary and spontaneous instead of a compulsory routine is to make an unflattering estimate of the appeal of our institutions to free minds. We can have intellectual individualism and the rich cultural diversities that we owe to exceptional minds only at the price of occasional eccentricity and abnormal attitudes. When they are so harmless to others or to the State as those we deal with here, the price is not too great. But freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order.

“If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.” — Justice Robert Jackson in West Virginia Board of Education v.

Of Clouds and CO2

I

n attempting to refute the science behind Santa Barbara’s sea rise planning, the letter “Sea Rise or No?” in the February 14 issue repeats two common climatedenier misconceptions. First, that warming waters and the resulting increased evaporation reduce planetary heating by increasing cloud cover, thus shielding more of the sun’s rays. The truth is the opposite: More clouds and more water vapor trap more heat, not less; warmer waters also absorb less CO2 than colder water.

Warmer waters create a self-perpetuating feedback loop: More atmospheric heat-trapping leads to even warmer waters.

The second misconception is that carbon dioxide is only 0.04 percent of the atmosphere. Levels of CO2 throughout human history were at about 0.03 percent until about 200 years ago, when they started to rise, thanks mostly to the burning of fossil fuels. This is a 33 percent increase caused by man, not nature. Plants and natural systems cannot adapt to this large, sudden increase. The writer sarcastically admonishes the Independent to “go back to school.” I would instead recommend the book Beyond Debate: Answers to 50 Misconceptions on Climate Change by Dr. Shahir Masri.

Partisan Worlds Apart, S.B. Activists$ Play Big Roles in State Party Politics

S

anta Barbara conservative gadfly Greg Gandrud won election as treasurer of the California Republican Party over the weekend at a rowdy convention featuring bitter debate and demonstrations over how closely to embrace Donald Trump.

“The party delegation reflects a range of views on the president,” Gandrud told us, in the understatement of the week.

When the dust settled in the Sacramento Convention Center, 1,500 Republican delegates chose their first-ever woman chair in a victory for elected officials and the party’s business wing: Jessica Patterson, a millennial Latina mother of two from Simi Valley, allied with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, defeated Travis Allen and Steve Frank, two raw-meat, MAGA, Build-the-Wall Trumpistas.

With their president hugely unpopular in California, Republicans have fallen to third place as a voter bloc, do not hold a statewide office, occupy fewer than onethird of seats in the Legislature, and just suffered a historic, midterm congressional wipeout. So, Patterson called for the party to turn down the volume on national issues in favor of attacking Dems on matters closer to home, like housing and state taxes.

Pundits cast her victory as a Republican move, however belated, to expand their base beyond right-wing old white guys and align themselves more closely with California’s emergent populations, tossing Grandrud’s election into the mix. As Politico put it: “In a nod to state Republicans calling for more diversity in their ranks, delegates on Sunday also elected Peter Kuo, an East Bay businessman who is an immigrant from Taiwan, to be its vice chairman, and Greg Gandrud, who is openly gay, as its treasurer.”

In an email interview, Gandrud shrugged off identity politics: “California is a diverse state and we welcome people of all backgrounds,” he said. “Being gay in the Republican Party is a non-issue.”

Instead he underscored the state focus articulated by the new GOP chair: “The real issues here in California include the high cost of housing, storing more water, and maintaining and increasing roadway capacity. The majority of Californians agree that Republicans have great solutions on all of those issues.”

Inextricable Priorities After Housing, How Do You Get to Work?

G

MOVING THE MASSES: Successful housing solutions would address urban sprawl, traffic, and mass transit.

BY STUART KASDIN overnor Gavin Newsom has set the goal

for encouraging the construction of 3.5 million new housing units in California by 2025. However, a critical element will determine the initiative’s potential for success: transportation. Successfully addressing housing critically depends on the accompanying advances we make in transportation.

In Southern California, historically, new housing was added via sprawl — single-family housing replaced open space, with new houses added at points farther and farther away. It was relatively easy and inexpensive to create new housing. But as the nearby open space disappeared, creating new housing has become more difficult, and the rate of housing creation has fallen.

Southern California’s transportation system was built to accommodate single-family housing. In contrast, cities like New York are built around the subway and light rail, enabling dense housing within the city and allowing large numbers of people to live away from the city and to commute.

In Los Angeles and Orange counties, the traffic design was not originally built to accommodate areas of dense housing such as apartment buildings and other multifamily housing. There are limits to how many lanes the county can add to roads. Moreover, as L.A. County continued to grow out, certain major arterial roads (like the 405, the 110, and 10) received more and more traffic from the expanded city. As a result, traffic congestion has become nightmarish: L.A. drivers, on average, spent over 102 hours in traffic at peak times in 2017, the most time in rush-hour jams of any city in the world.

One way for the Los Angeles region to start to solve its horrendous traffic and housing problems is through high-speed-rail projects to nearby cities. According to Trulia, the median housing prices in Lancaster are $290,000 for a median home and $286,000 in San Bernardino. High-speed-rail projects, like a maglev (“magnetic levitation”) train, could allow people to commute from these cities to downtown L.A., where housing costs are much higher. Further developing the public mass transit options can get more cars off the road, reducing greenhouse gases and congestion on the roads.

Santa Barbara County has a different problem affecting housing but one that is also tied to transportation. One of the characteristics for the California Central Coast is that an ocean and a mountain range constrain housing options; they must run up and down along the coast. The traditional hub-andspoke model of a city core and surrounding suburbs isn’t available.

For coastal cities, the sprawl development model

implies building in the agricultural greenbelt around cities—extending additional housing into the agricultural foothills and up the sides of the mountain ranges.

It is both highly unpopular (communities often define themselves by their agricultural heritage, for example, Goleta as the Good Land) and seems to represent a risky strategy, given the mudslides and fires in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. Moreover, water is a scarce resource, so it is hard to justify adding housing to areas where there are not adequate existing water supplies to provide for the existing housing.

Commuting to nearby cities with more abundant housing might seem to be one alternative. According to Trulia, median housing costs for Santa Maria and Lompoc are $388,000 and $350,000, respectively.

In contrast, the cost of a home in Santa Barbara is $1,105,000 and $779,500 in Goleta. However, commuting is a challenge. No commuter trains or light rail run along the coast. People who work in Santa Barbara and want to live in Santa Maria or Lompoc, with their cheaper housing, have no choice but to take the 101.

If there were an easier commute between the northern and southern cities, building on a commuter light-rail line, more people would opt for commuting between the different cities. For example, by Glendale, on the 134, L.A. County has put a train in the center median between the north and southbound lanes. Is something like that possible for the 101? Is an elevated train above the Southern Pacific line possible? Are there other routes available?

New Cuyama lies on the other side of the Sierra Madre Mountains from Santa Barbara. Median house costs in New Cuyama are $156,500, or almost $1 million less than the costs of a home in Santa Barbara. If the state built a tunnel, like those the Boring Company has started to create in different cities, that offered access between New Cuyama and Santa Barbara, workers would reduce their ridiculous housing costs, and businesses could find available workers more easily. In addition, Santa Barbara would gain an additional access point in cases of emergency, whereas now the 101 is the only point of egress or entry.

The High-Speed Rail project, recently proposed for reduction (Gov. Newsom) or termination (President Trump) would connect Anaheim and Los Angeles to San Francisco via the Central Valley in 2 hours and 40 minutes. The problem with the proposed train is that its purpose is so limited. It would replace the use of airlines for long-distance trips, but it would contribute nothing to alleviating our pressing traffic and congestion concerns, nor expand housing availability.

In short, California has a transportation crisis as much as it has a housing crisis, and the two cannot be separated. We need policies that consider them concurrently. n

AREA RAPPER ON THE COME UP GETS CAUGHT UP

S

ad Boy Loko is a name many young Latinos

recognize here in Santa Barbara; the rapper’s raw, explosive rhymes and roughly produced music was the soundtrack to summer-night cruising and lazy weekends. A Dons alum, Sad Boy was particularly well-known to Santa Barbara High students, me included. We listened as his music grew alongside us, and in 2012, when I graduated from Santa Barbara High School, he released his first album, I’m Still Here, which he made in a garage. By 2015, Sad Boy had signed to what the following year would become 4Hunnid Records, the label owned by the platinum-selling rapper YG. Since then, his popularity has grown beyond Santa Barbara to global audiences. For those of us who had followed his music, it was a source of pride that one of our own was making it in the rap game.

With his music career on the rise, Sad Boy and I met on August 2, 2018, at La Tapatía — just around the corner from our alma mater — to talk about his life, music, and ambitions.

Less than 24 hours later, on August 3, Sad Boy (known legally as Mario Hernandez-Pacheco) was arrested at Fiesta’s Mercado del Norte in Mackenzie Park while on a family outing with his children and partner.

Pacheco has been charged with attempted murder, robbery, and felony assault by means of force likely to create great bodily injury. His charges include three gang enhancements, which allege that the crime was committed to benefit a gang.

Each gang-enhancement charge can add an additional 10 years to a sentence. On August 15, 2018, in front of Supe-

rior Court Judge Clifford Anderson, Pacheco pleaded not guilty to all charges. He is currently in county jail, awaiting his preliminary hearing scheduled for March 6. He’s currently being held without bail and has been in custody for more than six months.

Sad Boy’s life in Santa Barbara has been marked by recurrent hardship, his struggles reflective of the experiences of many of his Santa Barbara fans. But when I talked with him last August, things were looking up. His second album with 4Hunnid, My Evil Ways, had just been released a few months earlier in May. His first headlining performance was scheduled for August 19 in Santa Ana, and he was excited about his future as an artist. Sad Boy also spoke with great love about his family, especially his children, and talked about how determined he was to provide for them. He shared with me how his mentality and priorities had changed over the years, particularly since being signed to 4Hunnid. “I used to hang out with gangsters and wanted to be a gangster. But now I’m hanging out with millionaires, and I want to be a millionaire,” he said.

FROM THE GUTTER Sad Boy was born in Santa Barbara 29 years ago. He grew up in a big family — he has five siblings — and much of his music recounts his upbringing. In his song “Que Viva la

BY BLANCA GARCIA Raza,” he chronicles the struggles of Mexican immigrants trying to get by in the United States, mentioning his parents’ Mexican origins and his father’s deportation when Sad Boy was young. “Familias separadas, madres abandonada / Y hijos sin un padre por gobierno que nos manda,” Sad Boy sings. (Translation: “Families are separated, mothers are abandoned / And kids are left without a father all because of the government that’s in charge.”)

The word “gutter” appears often in his raps; he says he came from the gutter and calls his work “gutter music.”

When I asked him what that meant, he said, “Gutter is the streets, the bottom of the barrel, government cheese, Kellogg’s — the realest shit.”

After Sad Boy’s father was deported, his mother continued to work two jobs to support the family but couldn’t make ends meet. The family’s situation deepened when their landlord had his property foreclosed. The family was driven into what Sad Boy called “motel living.” “I slept in every motel you can think of — Motel 6, Country Inn,” he said, listing a few. The family struggled to pay for the rooms, especially when prices surged during Fiesta and other holidays. Sad Boy tried to keep his circumstances hidden from his friends.

Since most motels don’t have kitchens or microwaves, the

family often had cold sandwiches and hot-water ramen for dinner. “When you live like that,” he said, “you learn to work with what you have. That’s what I mean when I say, ‘gutter.’”

As Sad Boy and his family moved from place to place, music was one of the few constants in his life. He and his friends spent hours coming up with rhymes. To record their songs, they would borrow recording equipment from a young man in the neighborhood.

When the man came around to retrieve his equipment, Sad Boy would pretend he had lent it to another kid so he and his friends could keep recording for a couple more days.

It was these early recordings that became some of Sad Boy’s biggest hits. For example, the hypnotic, piano-threaded “Gang Signs” was written before he had a label; however, after he was signed, 4Hunnid produced a video, and the song went viral. It now has more than 34 million views on YouTube.

Most of the material from his first album with 4Hunnid, The First Ese, in fact, was written when he was a teenager recording in garages. With his label promoting his work, his popularity skyrocketed.

At La Tapatía, over enchiladas and Jarritos, Sad Boy talked about wanting to transition his writing into more “positive stuff.” “Back then, my mentality was different,” he explained, referencing the The First Ese. “What I said [then], I wouldn’t feed the youth now. … All that stuff is old.”

As a teenager, Sad Boy’s tumultuous life led him into trouble with the law. He served time at Los Prietos Boys Camp, a juvenile detention center, but continued writing music and poems. He told me, with much pride, that other boys at the camp would ask him to write poems for their girlfriends in exchange for doing his chores. “If you had a man at Los Prietos while I was in there, like 99 percent of the stuff he wrote you was all me,” he laughed.

While Sad Boy was serving time as a teenager, his first child was born. He was granted three days to see his new baby. “It was hard. I didn’t want to go back,” he said of having to return to the detention center. After Sad Boy became a father, his unlawful behavior largely came to a halt. That’s when he really got into music, he said. He started performing at

local venues like Tony Rays (now Wine Therapy) and releasing homemade music videos.

To further himself in his musical aspirations, Sad Boy enrolled in piano, songwriting, and Pro Tools courses at Santa Barbara City College. “I learned structure about melodies, bridges, hooks, notes,” he said. As passionate as he was about his classes, he felt discouraged by one of his instructors. Sad Boy was a couple of minutes late to one of his courses and was subsequently asked to leave. If he wasn’t going to take the class seriously, the instructor said, then he should get out of his class. “[He didn’t know] what I did and that I was taking piano classes, [that] I was probably the one taking it the most serious,” said Sad Boy, who eventually dropped out of SBCC.

For my city, the place I call home Right next to the beach where pretty girls roam I was born and raised up in the gutter, the trenches Up in the hood where there’s tagged up fences.

Sad Boy was again living in a motel with his family in 2015 when he unexpectedly got a FaceTime call from YG, a successful young rapper out of Compton who in 2016 founded his record label 4Hunnid Records. Sad Boy had just turned 25 when YG invited him to his studio in Los Angeles. On the drive down, his car started sputtering just before exiting the freeway; he pulled into the studio’s parking lot as it gave out.

In the studio, YG ran Sad Boy through what amounted to an audition.

YG played the beat to a song he was working on — it was later released as “Don’t Come to L.A.” on 2016’s Still Brazy—and Sad Boy began rapping as YG and his team listened. The session went well, and a week later, Sad Boy signed with what would become 4Hunnid.

For the first time, Sad Boy was paid real money for his music. When YG and his team found out that his family was living in a Santa Barbara motel, they asked why he hadn’t come to them for help. “I worked for it.

I worked for mine,” said Sad Boy. With his first check, he put a deposit down on an apartment and bought his mom a car. At the time, she was commuting to her two jobs by bus. “I took care of everything. My mom, family … I took care of all that stuff. All my debts. I can supply for my family. That’s a man’s dream,” said Sad Boy. Sad Boy can be heard on YG’s “Don’t Come to L.A.” and “Blacks and Browns,” and the two were featured on Slim 400’s single “Bruisin’. ” YG asked Sad Boy to join him on his 2016 Fuck Donald Trump Tour. Life on the road was an eye-opener for Sad Boy. On tour, everyone was given a $100-per-day food-expense account, which seemed excessive to Sad Boy, whose gutter days were not far behind him. “How could I spend $100 on myself in one day to eat? I can bring that back and feed my kids. … That’s my job as a man, as a father.”

During lunch, Sad Boy told me stories about how his music had helped bridge gaps between him and his former rivals. “When a man starts respecting your work and craft, [there’s] nothing to do but respect back,” said Sad Boy. Initially, it was love from older homies and even some of his rivals who liked his music that Sad Boy points to as motivation to continue with and pursue music.

Sad Boy looking over notes at Universal Music Publishing Group’s studio in L.A. and hyping up the crowd Sad Boy credits music for changing the trajectory of his life from a troublemaking teen to an ambitious musician and a providing and loving father. “I gotta give programs respect,” said Sad Boy about programs such as the Boys & Girls Club’s Notes for Notes and the S.B. Teen Center, both of which offer free recording equipment to teenagers. “I know why they do it—to save the youth. That’s what saved me. They’re trying to get kids off the street. It’s what kept me out of trouble to this day!” Sad Boy told me that he wanted to focus on being a good example for kids. “I don’t want to lead [the kids] to the wrong circle,” he said. He grew up rapping about what he was seeing in his Eastside neighborhood, which was largely gang activity. “I don’t rap about jewelry and fancy cars,” said Sad Boy. “That’s nothing I’ve seen in my life.”

As Sad Boy’s outlook on life has evolved, so has his lyrical content. He’s more heavily addressing the struggles of growing up poor and brown in America. “Even [Latino] rappers out now are not really focused on our struggle,” he said. “In the timeline of hip-hop for Latinos, it’s something we’ve skipped, so we gotta do it.” His collaboration with YG on “Blacks and Browns” directly addresses the difficulties faced by minorities. “I’m not just entertaining the hood; [I’m] entertaining the world now,” he said. However, if he had it his way, Sad Boy would be working on love songs. “If it was for me, I’d be dropping love albums.”

When we spoke on that summer day, Sad Boy also said he’s focused on making it big in the music industry. That ambition is reflected in lyrics for “I Want It All,” which talks about his career aspirations and his

rise from poverty. “I want it all / I’m a ball like monopoly / And own properties / Can’t nobody stop a G,” raps Sad Boy. He wants to make enough money to buy a house for his kids. “That’s my goal,” he said. “Or else, I look at my career and say, ‘For what? Just for fun?’

Yeah, there’s passion, but I have priorities and mouths to feed.”

UNCERTAIN FUTURE Pacheco was arrested August 3, 2018.

According to court documents, the alleged incident took place the evening of July 23, 2018, at the Cacique Street footbridge on the Eastside. Prosecuting Attorney Kimberly Siegel claims that Pacheco, two teen assailants, and a fourth unidentified adult suspect “repeatedly stabbed, stomped, punched and kicked” a 19-year-old victim and stole his backpack. According to Siegel, the victim allegedly believed that he, the two juveniles, and Pacheco were going to the Cacique bridge to smoke marijuana.

When they arrived at the footbridge, the fourth unidentified adult suspect took the backpack from the victim. Allegedly, when the victim warned the suspects that he was going to call the police, he was attacked. The

photographs documenting the severity of the alleged victim’s injuries. While a significant amount of Pacheco’s music falls into the category of gangster rap, he has never been arrested for or convicted of a gang-related charge.

As for the gang-association claims, Siegel pointed to documented incidents in 2011, 2012, and 2016 when police officers interacted with Pacheco. Pearlman clarified for the court that the three incidents were field interrogation cards, which are notes officers keep on informal questioning or contact they have with citizens who may be able to help in an investigation. Siegel also pointed to a 2010 incident in which Pacheco was the victim of a stabbing. Pearlman challenged the incident, saying, “The fact that he was a victim and was stabbed do not show that he’s a danger to others.”

Pacheco was denied bail on October 10, 2018. Judge James Herman cited the “severe injury” inflicted on the alleged victim and Pacheco’s alleged gang affiliation as the reasons why. “I also take issue with the idea that the fact that he was a victim of gang violence is somehow exonerating or shouldn’t be looked at,” Herman said.

“Field interrogation cards are something that does collect intelligence and information on gang activity. So irrespective of the fact that he does not have a prior criminal conviction except for a DUI [in 2010], it’s pretty clear that for the purposes of this bail hearing that he has a long history as a member of the Eastside Gang with the violent tendencies that the gang imposes on the community.”

Just seven months after his arrests, the preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 6, at 8:30 a.m. in Courtroom 1. On that day, evidence will be presented from both sides for the first time. The Santa Barbara Independent will continue covering the case as n it unfolds.

contents of the backpack were not revealed.

According to Siegel, the victim has “no known gang ties or affiliation.”

Pacheco is currently being held without bail at the Santa Barbara County Jail.

Pacheco’s attorney, Adam Pearlman, submitted a motion to have him released on his own recognizance with conditions set forth by the courts or to have his bail reduced.

Bail was originally set at $1.1 million, the standard bail amount for attempted murder in Santa Barbara County. Pearlman made the case that Pacheco is not a flight risk. He presented the courts with a number of options, including house arrest on an electronic monitor and no contact with known gang members. Pacheco’s production company offered to put him up in Los Angeles to keep him out of Santa Barbara if the courts were concerned about him being in the county, with a condition that he only return to Santa Barbara for court appearances.

According to court documents submitted by Pearlman, “The proof against the defendant is not substantial because there is an identity issue.” His motion goes on to state that the police never had the victim identify a known picture of Pacheco.

Instead, police showed the victim a Speedy Mart security video that allegedly shows Pacheco walk in — and later out of — the store with the two alleged juvenile assailants and the victim. (Speedy Mart is next to La Tapatía, where Sad Boy and I met in August.) Pearlman continues, writing that “the surveillance videos at Speedy Mart are notoriously bad quality” and that “it is the only thing tying Mr. Pacheco to this case.”

Siegel opposed Pacheco’s release out of concern for public safety, citing his alleged gang ties and the severity of the injuries the alleged victim sustained. According to the courts, the alleged victim suffered a skull fracture. Siegel submitted to the court 11

New York in the chill of the winter, the proverbial “off-season,” makes it an out-of-season apple well worth the partaking.

JOSEF WOODARD

s much as we Santa Barbarans tend to be a smugly self-admiring lot and — on most days — convinced that we reside on a particularly Godkissed little acreage, we also love getting love from reliable outside sources. There was the New York Times recently, mighty arbiter of American taste, deeming Santa Barbara as the third-best destination spot — mostly as a new foodie magnet this time — on a list of 52. (We got beat by Puerto Rico and Hampi, India.)

Of course, New Yorkers and other Easterners (such as the bone-chilled Chicagoans who settled here starting in the late 19th/early 20th century) love Santa Barbara partly because of its temperate climate, a delectable escape route for the serious winter-afflicted. They like us.

And vice versa.

Consider this reverse logic: New York in the chill of the winter, the proverbial “off-season,” makes it an out-of-season apple well worth the partaking. Hotel prices drop, the cultural season is fully REFRIGERATED: Recent N.Y.C. vistor Peggy Grossman stops by “Snowman,” in gear, but tourist hordes are managean installation in the sculpture garden at the Museum of Modern Art. ably minimal. With the proper layers of coats-gloves-hat-scarf garmenting, the subfreezing weather is doable, even weirdly roman- a-half stretch on elevated and formerly dormant railroad tracks, rescued from development. Now, it tic, for winter-deprived Santa Barbarans.

My wife and I were there for the business of affords visitors and locals a meandering hang zone N.Y.C.’s Winter Jazz Festival last month, a crazy, and sight lines on a New York civic landscape of dense thicket of showcases at various venues. Much both the vintage structures and wild new buildings, of our music time was spent at the Village’s Le Pois- like the soon-to-open puffy-skinned performance son Rouge for a two-night mini-fest of artists on the space/tilted romper room The Shed and a dazzling 50-year-old ECM label, including Norwegian sweet- new apartment complex by the late and heralded heart Mathias Eick and a riveting piano duo set from architect Zaha Hadid, blessed with visionary “JetVijay Iyer and Craig Taborn (check out their forth- sons chic” flair.

Both benches were built by Mosely from slabs milled from a redwood tree felled at Lotusland several years ago.

earful smiles and big hugs made their way around a crowd of about a hundred friends and family gathered on the afternoon of February 24 for the dedication of memorial benches for David Cantin and son Jack Cantin, both lost to last year’s 1/9 Debris Flow. The event was held at Montecito’s Manning Park Youth Center, more commonly called the Scout House, where the elder Cantin served as Troop 33 scoutmaster and Jack, 17, was an Eagle Scout. Many of the scouts in attendance had just returned that afternoon from a backpacking trip to Bear Trap campground, in the Sespe Wilderness, “a spot I visited with Dave and Jack a few years ago,” Scoutmaster Telford Work told the crowd. “The memories are rich.”

Echoing the inscriptions, both father and son were praised for their SHOW OF SUPPORT: Family, friends, and dedication to helping Boy Scout Troop 33 attended the Cantin meothers. “They were shinmorial bench dedication at Manning Park. ing examples of what it means to be a community member,” remembered Abe Powell, executive director of the nonprofit Santa Barbara Bucket Brigade.

“It’s an honor to try to bring some good feelings to the families of the victims,” Mosely said.

Widow Kim Cantin organized Sunday’s event, attending with daughter Lauren, whose dramatic rescue on the morning of the January 9, 2018, disaster drew national attention. “Thank you for showing up today,” Kim Cantin told the crowd. “You’re helping Lauren and me to heal.”

FESS PARKER WINERY CELEBRATES 30 YEARS Plus, What to Expect During World of Pinot Noir 2019

A

fter a successful career playing pioneers Davy

Crockett and Daniel Boone on television, Fess Parker embarked on a new frontier in the late 1980s by starting a winery in the Santa Ynez Valley. He’d purchased a ranch along Foxen Canyon Road in 1987 after the Hope Ranch home he’d been remodeling suddenly slid off of the cliffs toward the sea.

After considering the options, Parker, who loved the outdoors as much as his characters did, figured the next best step was to start growing grapevines and making wine. A few neighbors were already doing so, and it seemed like a venture that could one day involve the whole family.

“I remember standing in a field, with him pointing in one direction and Eli pointing in the other, saying, ‘Let’s build it here,’ ” recalled Ashley Parker Snider last week, of her dad and brother’s initial arguments. “We were scrambling not only to build a winery but to purchase fruit. It was a little bit of the blind leading the blind. It was stressful. But it brought everybody together. You could see the potential, and it was gratifying when people started rolling in.”

It’s been more than three decades since the Parkers took the leap into wine, which made them the 11th member of the Santa Barbara County Vintners Association.

“It was never looked at as a hobby,” Eli Parker told me during a visit to their property a couple of years ago. “It was always a business.” And as the family celebrates the winery’s 30th anniversary in 2019, the winery’s success is eclipsing that celebrity buzz: Many of their customers know the name of Fess Parker, who died in 2010, more for fine wine than Hollywood.

“For the first 40 years of my life, people always told me, ‘I grew up with your dad,’ ” said Parker Snider, who is vice president of sales and marketing. But those comments are dwindling as wine-loving baby boomers get replaced by millennials. “There are a lot of younger people coming in who don’t know Fess Parker the actor, but they do know the pinots and the chardonnays — they know they’re from the Sta. Rita Hills and they’re all about it. It’s really shifted.”

Explained the organization’s president and her husband, Tim Snider, “It’s become an interesting, unique, and genuine backstory to the family behind the wines.”

The shift also indicates how much the family has evolved over the decades. Today, in addition to the Fess Parker label — which produces mainly pinot noir and chardonnays as well as syrah, viognier, and riesling — there is the Epiphany brand (for Rhône grapes and blends), Fesstivity (sparkling wines), and the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn in Los Olivos, which is also home to The Bear and Star restaurant, which sources produce and meat from the nearby Parker ranch. They are also planning a new waterfront hotel in Santa Barbara.

FEBRUARY 28, 2019

FAMILY PRIDE: Almost a decade after patriarch Fess Parker passed away, the extended Parker family is making his eponymous winery more successful than ever. Today, the third generation is actively involved in running the business.

Winemaker Blair Fox — now in his 15th year at Fess Parker Winery — makes about 65,000 cases of wine each year across all of the brands. But only four wines rise above the 5,000-case threshold. That means the many other bottlings, including a number of single-vineyard or clone-specific pinot noir and chardonnays, are boutique affairs of fewer than 1,000 cases, with some barely scratching 100.

Compared to the 2,000-plus wines I review from all across the Central Coast each year, these small bottlings compete with the best of the region, regularly getting scored 92+ points, and their appellation blends are among the most reliably delicious wines you can find for the price.

Many of the region’s renowned winemakers cut their teeth in the same cellar, as alumni include Joey Tensley, Dave Potter, Larry Schaffer, and Mikael Sigouin. “We call it the university of Fess Parker,” Blair Fox likes to say.

Of all those, what was Fess’s favorite? “He loved riesling with breakfast, especially with eggs Benedict or his pancakes, and then he loved syrah,” said Parker Snider. But he also loved to quip, “I like syrah. Mrs. Parker really likes pinot noir, so I drink a lot of pinot noir.” When it came time to say goodbye for good, Fess did get what he wanted. “Here’s a little-known fact,” said Parker Snider. “My brother put a bottle of our syrah in with him when we laid him in the ground.”

If he’s looking down from above with a glass of syrah in hand, Fess Parker must be enjoying how his family continues to manage the winery with hands-on care, now including four of his adult grandkids. “The thing he would be most proud of is that we have the third generation working in the business,” said Parker Snider. “He’d also be super, super pleased about The Bear and Star and the way we’ve integrated the ranch with that restaurant. He’d be eating well and seeing a lot of grandkids, so he’d be happy.”

They will be celebrating this weekend at World of Pinot Noir (see sidebar for details) and again at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort (formerly known as the Fess Parker DoubleTree) on Friday, March 22, 6-9 p.m. Email SBAFP_SpecialEvents@hilton.com for the $125 tickets.

is celebrating 20 years in downtown Santa Barbara on March 4, according to a press release from its marketing and office manager, Natalie Hernandez.

Owner and founder Tony Arroyo has had a passion for food since he was a young boy. Inspired by the culinary magic his mom performed in the kitchen and the delicious, authentic recipes she taught and passed down to him, Tony always had the dream of one day opening a restaurant.

Los Arroyos opened its first location in a small, 590-square-foot space in downtown Santa Barbara on West Figueroa Street. Two years later, it expanded next door into to its current location at 14 West Figueroa Street.

Tony Arroyo thanks the Santa Barbara community for opening their arms to Los Arroyos 20 years ago and contributing to the continued success and growth of the company. Since 1999, Los Arroyos has opened in Montecito (2004), Camarillo (2009), Indiana (2016), Goleta (2017), and, most recently, in Solvang (2018).

“Los Arroyos stands for family, and I am grateful to all the employees who have become family and the community that has made Los Arroyos a part of theirs,” said Arroyo.

The downtown location will be offering special menu prices all weekend as well as live music and giveaways at the West Figueroa Street restaurant on March 4.

CHAPLIN’S CLOSES, SUSHI COMING? Word on the street

is that Chaplin’s Martini Bar, which opened last September at 1295 Coast Village Road in Montecito (replacing Frankland’s Crab & Co. in the Montecito Inn which opened last April), has also closed its doors. Reader Annie says that plastic covers the inside of the windows and that the interior has been stripped back to bare flooring. “Staff says that the owners are turning it into a sushi spot,” says reader Kevin. “They also own SushiBar in L.A. so hopefully it’s amazing.”

Thanks for many years of business! We’ll miss you.”

Word on the street is that Mesa Burger is opening its second location in this space, though I have not yet confirmed it.

OCEAN-FRIENDLY RESTAURANTS: The Surfrider

Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping our oceans healthy, is working to expand its Ocean Friendly Restaurants program in Santa Barbara to help reduce food service industry waste to keep our coasts cleaner. “We started the program last summer and already have 15 participating restaurants,” said representative Sandra Fogg. “We would love to see more restaurants striving for sustainability and waste reduction, and awareness of restaurants that are making that effort would be a great way to set an example.”

Mandatory practices include: no expanded polystyrene use (aka Styrofoam); proper recycling practices; reusable tableware is used for onsite dining and to-go utensils are provided only upon request; no plastic bags are offered for to-go orders; and straws are provided only upon request. Additional best practices are listed online at santabarbara.surfrider.org.

Get Hooked launched in September 2018 with funding from the USDA Local Food Promotion Program. Moving forward, they hope to expand their drop locations farther south into areas such as Westlake and Santa Monica. They also want to get seafood into Santa Barbara restaurants and school cafeterias and to add pick-up locations in corporate spaces. For now, Voss and Selkoe are keeping the business focused on consumers. “We are really motivated by the educational component, and we want to work directly with the people eating the seafood,” said Selkoe.

ith an abundance of musically talented students and a disproportionate percentage of them trained as singers, Westmont College enjoys an unusual advantage when it comes to producing operas featuring undergraduates. Thus, with years of experience conducting the college’s chorus and orchestra in a wide variety of contexts, Adams Professor of Music and Worship Michael Shasberger was ready when his colleague Professor John Blondell from the theater department approached him about collaborating on Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance in 2014.

That show, the pair’s first opera collaboration, went on to win three national awards, including two from Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts — Distinguished Production of a Musical and Distinguished Director of a Musical. Coming from an extensive background in directing Shakespeare and other canonical playwrights both here and internationally, Blondell found that the challenges presented by such subsequent offerings as Dido and Aeneas and Die Fledermaus meshed productively with the freewheeling, visually arresting style of presentation he has developed in the theater.

This weekend, the Westmont team brings its most ambitious operatic production yet to the New Vic, which has proved to be an excellent fit for these fast-paced and unamplified performances. The opera this time is The Magic Flute, Mozart’s extravagant dis-

play of immortal musicianship and fairy-tale flights of imagination.

Inspired in part by Swedish director Ingmar Bergman’s 1975 film version, Blondell told me that his aim was to “clear away the confusion of the libretto” in order to “allow the music to speak.” Although it was actually filmed in a studio at the Swedish Film Institute in front of cameras, Bergman’s film includes establishing shots intended to evoke baroque venues such as Stockholm’s Drottningholm Palace Theater and the Theater auf der Wieden in Vienna. For Blondell, the notion that audience members should remember that they are in a theater is key to the production’s design, which, while taking full advantage of the New Vic’s state-of-theart technical capacities, remains simple and abstract rather than overtly representational.

These sets, while extremely beautiful, are not images of other things; they’re sets.

With an orchestra of 17 musicians and a cast of 24 actors and singers, the task of directing a work as complex and difficult as The Magic Flute would seem overwhelming, especially when so many of the performers are relatively new to the school and the program, but Blondell turns this seeming obstacle on its head. “I love working with students who are this age [approximately 18-22] on

this kind of material,” he said, adding that “less trained and mature voices bring a freshness of youth to the music that is captivating. Their innocence has a kind of innate charm.” Not one to neglect the opportunities afforded by any teachable moment, Blondell attributed the progress he felt that the cast had made in recent weeks to an increased intellectual appreciation of the work’s roots in the social movements of the Enlightenment. “The Enlightenment context has really started to hit home in the last four rehearsals,” he said. “We’ve been talking a lot about how Sarastro is trying to create a Utopia, and what we know from other examples of this Enlightenment tendency about what that impulse can bring about.” — Charles Donelan

THE PHONE BOOTH’S SONIC EPITAPH The Phone Booth’s release party for its new album, Roman, will be more than a celebration of an album — it’ll be the celebration of a life. The Santa Barbara band’s show on Sunday, March 3, at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club will honor the memory of Steven Roman Gonzales, the album’s namesake who passed away from cancer in 2016 at the age of 30.

Michael Easbey (vocals, guitar) helms the band, along with Josh Blumenthal (bass), Ben Pecorari (drums), and Tony Pennington (guitar). Genrewise, the band takes inspiration from lo-fi indierock greats like Guided by Voices, Sparklehorse, and The Mountain Goats. Joining the band will be S.B.’s The Peer Council, who play emo revival à la early Death Cab for Cutie, and the post-hardcore band Gunpowder Empires.

Roman’s is a one-of-a-kind, intensely personal sound, intimately built around Gonzales’s voice, transmitted through phone messages. Easbey considered Gonzales a close friend and frequent collaborator, and his “forever lo-fi” spirit leaves a sonic imprint on the album. His voice remains in messages sprinkled throughout; his legacy is retold in Easbey’s lyrics. “I saved every interesting voicemail he ever left me since about 2003 and used them … to work into the story of the album,” Easbey said.

The two met at Monte Vista Elementary, and the album begins thematically around their days in Dos Pueblos High School theater. Easbey knew Gonzales as an exceptionally inspiring individual. “He was insanely passionate. When meeting people, he would infamously ask, ‘What are you passionate about?’” Easbey said. “That was his opener for conversations: How are you creative in this world, what kind of art do you contribute, where do you really derive joy?”

The recording process, of course, was emotional. “It was an incredibly therapeutic and cathartic experience — the most satisfying cry I had about Steve’s death was after we got the mixes back. It just unloaded so much for me,” Easbey said.

As memorials go, Roman is a heartfelt one, with a proportionally heavy sound. The guitars crunch and sizzle with sorrowful heft. Built for headphones, it’s an intricately crafted rock of love.

The Phone Booth plays with the Peer Council and Gunpowder Empires on Sunday, March 3, 9 p.m., at SOhO Restaurant and Music Club (1221 State St.). See sohosb.com. —Richie DeMaria

MILLIONS AND MILLIONS: SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) will be rich with the sound of homegrown rock ’n’ roll riffs when Young Million headline an album-release show on Friday, March 8. Comprising siblings Kyran Million (guitar, vocals) and Michael Million (guitar), along with Erich Riedl (drums) and Nate Modisette (bass), the four-piece plays a pumped-up classic alt-rock sound. The show will commemorate the release of the band’s debut full-length album, Chasing Threads.

“It feels amazing,” Michael Million said of the album release. “It’s such a big milestone for us to finally put our sound into the world, and with a full-length album nonetheless.” Recorded at Santa Barbara Sound Design, the record had some heavy hitters at the sound board. Mixed by Ryan Williams (Rage Against the Machine, Stone Temple Pilots) and mastered by Jon Davis (Led Zeppelin, The Killers, Foals), the record packs a big rock sound spiked with raw energy. “Jon is a legend. Great guy, and his reputation speaks for itself. … Ryan gave us an amazing mix that really helped add to the live feel of the record, which is what we were going for,” Michael Million said.

“We’re a rock band, and what you see is what you get,” Million added.

“With the exception of vocals, the entire album was recorded live, so we want people to feel that when they hear it.”

Openers for the band include Glossies (formerly known as Dot Plaza), the über-talented area musician Erich Tomkinson taking his turn at timelessly jangly, melodic indie rock. Kyle Nicolaides, from S.B., and Ventura’s Noble Grizwald round out the evening.

FEELING FINE WITH BRYCE VINE: On Sunday, March 3, you can catch Bryce Vine at Velvet Jones (423 State St.) at 7 p.m., with openers Travis Thompson (from Seattle) and Kid Quill (from Shelbyville, IN). Velvet Jones has quickly re-established itself as being one of the best places in town to catch the R&B and hip-hop artists of absolutely right now, and Bryce Vine is no exception.

His hit “Drew Barrymore” has made many a listener swoon in its alluring YouTube soul glow. His good looks don’t seem to hurt his talents, either.

FOSSEK’S FAMED FLAMENCO: Many, but not enough, know the soothing sounds of Chris Fossek’s Mediterranean-style guitar playing. If you haven’t yet heard his lovely work, you’re in luck, as he plays an early show at SOhO on Thursday, March 7, at 6 p.m. With a musical vocabulary that stretches across Mediterranean cultures, his guitar speaks in beautiful Spanish flamenco, Macedonian folk, and other stringed-instrument tongues. He’ll be joined by sax player Peter Slocombe from L.A. and Nashville percussionist Nate Keezer, so it’ll be extra special.

PHILLIPS AND VELASCO: One a venerated veteran of the S.B. stage, the other a relatively rising newcomer, each uniquely talented unto themselves: The billing of Glen Phillips and Omar Velasco will be a perfect way to spend your Tuesday, March 5, starting at 7:30 p.m at SOhO. Phillips, a local legend, is famed for both his solo works and his days with Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Velasco, meanwhile, has excited many with his own indie rock compositions and with his band Amo Amo. NEW MUSIC ALERT: Chaye Tione, one of our area’s most gifted hip-hop artists, is coming into the New Year with a musical fitness resolution in the form of “Jiu Jitsu,” an ode to his favorite martial art. Late last year, he released Binary Insight, a rather brilliant work that this listener was too slow on the draw to hear in the year of its release.

The young Katy Caballero, meanwhile, just released her song “Unlovable,” a poignant piano ballad lifted by her sweet voice. Last year, the precocious Caballero earned praise for her song “Not Not a Love Song,” released as she finished up 8th grade. Available on the usual streaming platforms. n

What really exemplified Burr’s mastery, however, was his casual stream-of-consciousness approach that makes him appear to be in the moment and not overrehearsed. Burr would often throw out a comment on a controversial topic as a premise, drawing clear discomfort from portions of the crowd. He’d then make subtle jokes, eventually arriving at one big killer that always won back the audience.

Trick’s Isla Vista appearance was one in a pop-up series called Jeffrey’s Jazz Coffeehouse (faceboook.com/JJCIslaVista), conceived by Jeffrey C. Stewart, a professor of black studies at UCSB. Stewart set the scene for the evening and then turned the stage over to Trick, who is known internationally as a virtuoso interpreter of the stride piano genre. Trick had no trouble holding the audience of UCSB students and others spellbound. Playing compositions from James P. Johnson such as “Carolina Balmoral,” “A-Flat Dream,” and “Carolina Shout,” Trick gave an intimate concert and taught a class containing history and music theory.

The concert began with a Mass for Four Voices by Thomas Tallis (1505-1585), which was bookended with two shorter pieces, both of them written in the same musical idiom and bearing specific relations to certain aspects of that work. Andrew Smith, who wrote Kyrie: Cunctipotens Genitor Deus, was born in 1970, and Gabriel Jackson, composer of Ite Missa Est, was born in 1962.

The opening set served as an extended introduction to the overall strength and memo-

rable individuality of these men’s voices.

If you’ve never heard this music sung by a quartet before, it is, at least when New York Polyphony does it, a revelation.

The group opened the second half with a remarkable work by another relatively young composer, Gregory Brown. His Missa Charles Darwin was composed for the group and was first suggested to the composer by bass Craig Phillips, who drafted the libretto from the writings of the great naturalist Charles Darwin. It was unsettling to hear, in the Kyrie—where the words “lord have mercy” would ordinarily be sung — the line “let the strongest live and the weakest die,” but the overall effect of the piece was in most ways the opposite of something done for shock value. Darwin’s ideas do benefit from “the application of an accepted musical form that is uniquely suited to enhance the expressive potential of language,” as composer Brown writes in the program notes. The group delivered this complex mixture of ideas and music with total conviction, and they followed it with four exquisite songs, including a special treat chosen specifically for the Santa Barbara audience, “The Dying Californian.”

MOVIE GUIDE

Metro 4 (2D & 3D) (Opens Thu., Mar. 7)

paranoid landscape of East Berlin with his Oscar-winning 2006 film The Lives of Others, stirred controversy with his new film about another slice of German life, Never Look Away, loosely based on the life, times, and fascinating and mercurial work of Gerhard Richter.

Richter, 87, a recluse considered one of our most important living artists, was none too pleased. Opening with a “degenerate art” show in Dresden, circa 1937, and moving through Communist bloc life, studies with Joseph Beuys and his “blur-painting” breakthrough, the three-hour film feels tame and glossy compared to the challenges of Richter’s art over the decades. Still, it conveys a compelling, polished tale, a portrait of an artist who filtered troubled times into a suitably complex, blurry, layered aesthetic voice. Richter deserves better.

The Hitchcock

O Bohemian Rhapsody (134 mins., PG-13)

Telling the tale of a beloved rockand-roll enigma, especially one so notoriously private, is a daunting task, but Bohemian Rhapsody tackles Freddie Mercury’s legendary story with flourish and fervor. Admittedly, the film adopts a convenient plot line ripe with meet-cutes and oversimplifications of Mercury’s complex relationship with his family and background. It struggles the most in addressing the often-discussed queerness of Mercury’s life, at times teetering toward bi-erasure and a lessthan-delicate portrayal of AIDS. Rami Malek shines as the shy yet vivacious Queen frontman and is spellbindingly convincing during both Mercury’s loneliest hours and explosive moments on some of the world’s biggest stages.

The rest of the casting deserves a grand tip of the hat as well. Bohemian Rhapsody, for all its narrative flaws, is an earnest tribute to the iconic rock band,

O Capernaum

(126 mins., NR)

Those who are extra-sensitive to tales of woe concerning children cast adrift will be pained watching the Lebanese film Capernaum (Chaos), about a tough but fragile 12-year-old (Zain al Rafeea, grim and determined until the final shot) and an Ethiopian toddler immigrant (Boluwatife Treasure Bankole — best toddler performance of the year).

But anyone with an interest in bold, emotionally powered cinema and the pressing issues of poverty and refugee struggles through tender eyes shouldn’t miss Nadine Labaki’s important film, a nominee for the Foreign Film Oscar and Jury Prize winner at Cannes. Naturalism meets assured-narrative machinery and courtroom drama in the poignant, youth-driven tradition of Bicycle Thief and the fellow foreign-film Oscar nom Shoplifters. (JW) Riviera Cold Pursuit (118 mins., R) Nels Coxman’s (Liam Neeson) quiet life in a mountain resort town is thrown into chaos when his young son is mysteriously killed. As Coxman seeks vengeance, he is pulled into a world of drug lords, setting off a turf war. Laura Dern and Emmy Rossum also star.

The Favourite (120 mins., R) Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz star in this historical dark comedy/drama set during the reign of England’s Queen Anne in the early 18th century. A tangled love triangle emerges between Anne (Colman), Abigail Hill (Stone), and Sarah Churchill (Weisz) that leads to treachery and betrayal.

Fighting with My Family (108 mins., PG-13)

Dwayne Johnson executive produced this biopic dramedy based on the life of British WWE professional wrestler Saraya-Jade “Paige” Bevis (Florence Pugh), who won the Divas Championship in 2014. Nick Frost, Vince Vaughn, and Lena Headey also star.

Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

O Green Book

(130 mins., PG-13)

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, a k a Tony Lip. His son Nick 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) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

Greta (98 mins., R) When Frances McCullen (Chloë Grace Moretz) finds a purse in New York City subway, she promptly returns it to its owner, Greta (Isabelle Huppert), a lonely piano teacher. Having just lost her mother, Frances grows close to Greta, but soon discovers the woman isn’t who she seems.

Fairview/Paseo Nuevo How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (104 mins., PG) The third installation of this delightful animated franchise sees Toothless, Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), and their ragtag crew of dragon riders continue to save captured dragons and bring them to Berk. When the dragon population becomes untenable, Hiccup and his faithful black fury go in search of the Hidden World, a safe haven for dragons.

But enemies and warlords try to thwart their efforts. Cate Blanchett, America Ferrera, and Craig Ferguson also lend their vocal talents.

Isn’t It Romantic (88 mins., PG-13) Rebel Wilson stars in this comedy/ fantasy/satire about Natalie (Wilson), a woman who has never believed in the Hollywood rom-com fantasy. After being knocked unconscious, however, Natalie finds herself in her own clichéfilled romantic comedy and must eschew hackneyed situations to finally fall in love and be brought back to reality. Liam Hemsworth and Adam DeVine also star.

Bradley Cooper marks his directing debut with an ode to the 1937 romantic melodrama A Star Is Born, famously remade in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason and again in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. Cooper plays famous countryrock musician Jackson Maine, whose drunken search for more alcohol leads him to a drag bar where he stumbles into Ally (Lady Gaga), an unknown singer who Jackson then mentors. Soon, Ally and Jackson enter into a romantic relationship that is often overshadowed

by Jackson’s alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. As Ally takes on her selfdoubt and fear of performing in front of Jackson’s sold-out crowds, she makes sacrifices in her own burgeoning career for love and authenticity. Cooper and Lady Gaga depict the rawness and erosion of their relationship with aplomb.

I’m speaking for everyone on the team. We have the confidence to put it together and be dangerous this season.” Smith had seven hits against Hartford, including a home run to dead center in his first at-bat of the series.

from the sidewalk on Canon Perdido Street. The baseball diamond, bathed in soft winter sunlight, was a beautiful and welcome sight.

“I had a stroke right there behind the backstop,” Warrecker said. He had been watching a practice session last October when he collapsed. Immediate medical attention saved him, but he is still recovering.

“This is my first day out since then,” he said. “It’s the first day of spring for me.”

He showed up last Friday afternoon to watch the Santa Barbara Dons take on the Dos Pueblos Chargers in their Channel League baseball opener.

Warrecker, 80, has been devoted to the Dons most of his life. He was their head coach for 43 years, retiring after the 2015 season. His son Donny Warrecker took over the next three years. Now there is a new head coach, Steve Schuck, but Fred’s grandson, junior pitcher/first baseman Bryce Warrecker, keeps the family name in the program.

The field was in good shape for the early-season game, a point of pride for the elder Warrecker. He pointed to the tile-roofed dugouts, built during his tenure. The home dugout has ivy-covered walls. “No graffiti,” he said.

More often than not, Santa Barbara and Dos Pueblos have battled for the league title. The Chargers have had the upper hand lately, winning six championships in the last seven years, but often by just a game or two over the Dons.

Dos Pueblos stuck the first blow of the 2019 season, winning Friday’s game, 4-3. Senior right-hander Nico Martinez shut out the Dons for six innings—including the second when he struck out the side after loading the bases—and reliever Mason Boelter survived a Santa Barbara rally in the seventh.

Santa Barbara starter Derek True, who’s signed with Cal

Poly, sailed through the first three innings, but DP scored three runs in the fourth, capped by Conner Gleissner’s tworun single.

“In my four years playing Santa Barbara, there’s always close games,” Martinez said. “It’s a dogfight, a battle to the end.”

Both teams felt they have some kinks to work out. Cold, wet weather has limited their practices. Bryce Warrecker was still playing basketball for the Dons — they went into the Division 3 state regionals this week after a heartbreaking 57-55 defeat to Palm Springs in the Southern Section semifinals — and he went 0-for-3 as a designated hitter in the baseball game.

“I’m not worried,” said Schuck, a former prep coach in Arizona who’s spent the last five summers helping coach the Santa Barbara Foresters. “Dos Pueblos is a good ball club. They got key hits, and we didn’t. We’ll play again.”

The Dons and Chargers will meet at DP’s Scott O’Leary Field on March 12 and will return to Santa Barbara on March 15.

In the latter game, a strong defensive effort stymied the Titans in the first half. Max Heidegger (19 points), Amadou Sow (16), JaQuori McLaughlin (16), and Devearl Ramsey (13) all shot 50 percent or better. “Sharing the ball is a mantra for us,” Head Coach Joe Pasternack said. Thursday’s game will mark the last home appearance for seniors Jarriesse Blackmon, Ami Lakoju, and leading scorer Ar’mond Davis, a graduate student. Davis had a doubledouble (24 points, 11 rebounds) in UCSB’s 82-71 victory at Long Beach State last month. 7pm. The Thunderdome, UCSB. $8-$29. Call 893-UCSB (8272) or visit ucsbgauchos.com.

It’sTime

WALK & ROLL

Each year our kids lose another school program, teacher, or opportunity and those losses directly impact their futures. I am tired of hearing about it and want to do something....

I can’t just write a check to fix the problem, so on March 7th Thursday at the morning bell of Washington Elementary School, I am going to start running, and I am going to keep running until I can’t run anymore. It’s that simple. My goal is to be there 24 hours later to hear the morning bell again with the kids of Washington Elementary on Friday, March 8th. Who knows, maybe they will bring me water, coffee, and some food to keep me going!?

FOR BRAIN INJURY Join us for Jodi House's 5th Annual 5K and 1-miler event!

Participants can choose to walk or roll a 1-mile route through Chase Palm Park, or a 5K route from Chase Palm Park to the Bird Refuge and back.

The course: the first 50 miles will be to touch every public school in the county, all 26 of them. I plan to place a bumper sticker on each Principal’s office door that says, “Run2Fund Cares”, then I - and anyone who wants to join me! - will run around the Mesa 4.8-mile loops until the next morning on Friday covering 100+/- miles in total. I would run around the track, but the school currently has no track, nor do we have a gym; we have a field, but even it needs a ton of work.

SATURDAY, APRIL 6 8:30AM-11:00AM C H A S E PA L M Z A PA R K P L A

The overall goal is to raise enough money to build a fund so that we can assist in building/ maintaining sporting facilities. Who knows, we might just make a difference!? Please make your donations on a per hour basis. For example: if you are willing to donate $10 per hour and you think I can run for 10 hours, please donate $100. If you are like me and only prefer to pay for results, just email me your hourly pledge amount. I will make sure to reach out for the proper donation shortly after I wake up from a well-deserved nap.

Corner of Cabrillo Blvd. & Garden St.

Registration opens at 8:00am Group warm-up at 8:30am Walk & Roll at 9:00am

Thank you for believing in me and thank you for believing in our kids!

are on the job for 14 hours a day, six days a week. That’s why a new concept in vacations has emerged there.

People take sabbaticals by checking into Prison Inside Me, a facility designed like a jail. For a while, they do without cell phones and Internet and important appointments. Freed of normal stresses and stripped of obsessive concerns, they turn inward and recharge their spiritual batteries. I’d love to see you treat yourself to a getaway like this—minus the incarceration theme, of course. You’d benefit from a quiet, spacious, lowpressure escape.

when he learned that some bees can buzz around at lofty altitudes where the oxygen is sparse. He and a colleague even found two of them at 29,525 feet—higher than Mt. Everest. How could the bees fly in such thin air? They “didn’t beat their wings faster,” according to a report in National Geographic, but rather “swung their wings through a wider arc.” I propose that we regard these high-flying marvels as your soul animals for the coming weeks. Metaphorically speaking, you will have the power and ingenuity and adaptability to go higher than you’ve been in a long time.

is published in periodicals in four countries: the U.S., Canada, Italy, and France. In all of these places, women have had a hard time acquiring political power. Neither the U.S. nor Italy has ever had a female head of government. France has had one, Édith Cresson, who served less than a year as Prime Minister. Canada has had one, Kim Campbell, who was in office for 132 days. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the coming months will be a more favorable time than usual to boost feminine authority and enhance women’s ability to shape our shared reality. And you Tauruses of all genders will be in prime position to foster that outcome. Homework: Meditate on specific ways you could contribute, even if just through your personal interactions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A 19-year-old guy named Anson Lem-

mer started a job as a pizza delivery man in Glenwood, Colorado. On his second night, he arrived with a hot pizza at a house where an emergency was in progress. A man was lying on the ground in distress. Having been trained in CPR, Lemmer leaped to his rescue and saved his life. I expect that you, too, will perform a heroic act sometime soon, Gemini—maybe not as monumental as Lemmer’s, but nonetheless impressive. And I bet it will have an enduring impact, sending out reverberations that redound to your benefit for quite some time.

Grey, as well as Prime Minister of England from 1830 to 1834. His time in office produced pivotal changes, including the abolition of slavery, reform of child labor laws, and more democracy in the nation’s electoral process. But most people today know nothing of those triumphs. Rather he is immortalized for the Earl Grey tea that he made popular. I suspect that in the coming weeks, one of your fine efforts may also get less attention than a more modest success. But don’t worry about it. Instead, be content with congratulating yourself for your excellent work. I think that’s the key to you ultimately getting proper appreciation for your bigger accomplishment.

If so, you might appreciate flexitarianism, HOMEWORK:Write a short essay (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): At a young age, which is a less-perfectionist approach budding Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath on “How I Created Something Out of that focuses on eating vegetables but came to a tough realization: “I can RealAstrology.com Nothing.”

Maine and Eastern Canada. They are known as the Wabanaki confederacy: the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Micmac, Maliseet, and Abenaki. Although they had to adjust to and compromise with colonialism,

they were never defeated by it. I propose we make them your heroic symbols for the coming weeks. May their resilient determination to remain connected to their roots and origins motivate you to draw ever-fresh power from your own roots and origins.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn javelin thrower Julius Yego

won a silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics. How did he get so skilled? Not in the typical way. He gained preliminary proficiency while competing for his high school team, but after graduation, he was too poor to keep developing his mastery. So he turned to YouTube, where he studied videos by great javelin throwers to benefit from their training strategies and techniques.

Now that you’re in an intense learning phase of your cycle, Capricorn, I suggest that you, too, be ready to draw on sources that may be unexpected or unusual or alternative.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The first edition of Action Comics,

which launched the story of the fictional character Superman, cost 10 cents in 1938. Nowadays it’s worth $3 million. I’ll make a bold prediction that you, too, will be worth considerably more on December 31, 2019 than you are right now. The increase won’t be as dramatic as that of the Superman comic, but still: I expect a significant boost. And what you do in the next four weeks could have a lot to do with making my prediction come true.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Until the 16th century in much of

Europe and the 18th century in Britain, the New Year was celebrated in March. That made sense given the fact that the weather was growing noticeably warmer and it was time to plant the crops again. In my astrological opinion, the month of March is still the best time of year for you Pisceans to observe your personal New Year. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to start fresh in any area of your life. If you formulate a set of New Year’s resolutions, you’re more likely to remain committed to them than if you had made them on January 1.

BERNHARDT aka RUTH BERNHARDT Case No.: 19PR00051 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of RUTH P. BERNHARDT aka RUTH BERNHARDT A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: PETER BERNHARDT in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that: PETER BERNHARDT be appoint‑ ed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

THE PETITION requests author‑ ity to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the per‑ sonal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or con‑ sented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the peti‑ tion and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 03/21/2019 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, P.O Box 21107 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 Anacapa Division.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City has an adopted Cannabis Land Use Ordinance (Ord. No. 18-03) that allows for and regulates a range of cannabis business types and activities throughout the City. The Cannabis Land Use Ordinance currently requires all cannabis business to obtain a zoning permit of some type.

With direction received during a Cannabis Land Use Ordinance Workshop held by the City Council on January 23, 2019, the Planning Commission will consider recommending to City Council several amendments to the Cannabis Land Use Ordinance with associated amendments to the City’s General Plan, including: • Eliminating zoning permit requirements for cannabis businesses in the Cannabis Land Use Ordinance and relying on the Cannabis Business License Ordinance to ensure implementation of standards and requirements.

• Adopting standards for cannabis uses in close proximity to sensitive receptors.

• Adopting a greater separation requirement between storefront cannabis retailers.

• Adding language to the General Plan and the Cannabis Land Use Ordinance clarifying the regulatory framework for accessory uses.

• Amending the General Plan and Cannabis Land Use Ordinance to allow storefront cannabis retailers in the General Industrial (I-G) land use designation but only in locations where a cannabis dispensary was located prior to June 16, 2009 (the date of the City’s former ban on cannabis businesses).

• Amending the General Plan and Cannabis Land Use Ordinance to allow cannabis distribution licensing in the Industrial Business Park (I-BP) land use designation where each licensed distributor shall not exceed 30,000 square feet of floor area.

• Amending the General Plan and Cannabis Land Use Ordinance to allow cannabis microbusinesses in the I-G and Service Industrial (I-S) land use designations without storefront cannabis retail (except for existing storefront cannabis retailers).

Environmental Review: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA,) City staff drafted an Addendum to the City’s General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan 2006 Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR), 2009 Supplemental EIR, and subsequent addenda to analyze impacts of the amendments to the General Plan and the Cannabis Land Use Ordinance.
