Hey! We just hired you. Tell us about yourself. I’m Ricky! I’m originally from Lancaster and I moved here to start at UCSB a few years ago. I majored in English, and one day I’d love to be a professor.

Why’d you want to work here? What pulled you to the paper? When I was in college, I was an editor for an on-campus magazine, where I learned about graphic design and became interested in choosing a career that would allow me to work for a publication.

CITY

BIG CHANGES COMING: From left, Taylor Bleecker, Alan Bleecker, and Gordon Resig got the green light to convert their store Capitol Hardware into a four-story mixed-use housing complex after an intense, protracted showdown over neighborhood compatibility and due process.

Massive Housing Project Approved for Milpas Street Knock-Down, Drag-Out Showdown over Process

by Nick Welsh or five and a half grueling hours, the Santa Barbara City Council dissected the byzantine permit history of a sprawling four-story boxy, perpendicular, modern-looking mixed-use, high-density rental housing project that will forever alter the profile and course of development of Milpas Street. At times, the council proceedings felt more like a forensic autopsy; the only thing missing, it seemed, was a corpse. Ultimately, the council would vote 5-2 to give project developer Alan Bleecker and his architect Detty Peikert the green light that the city’s Architectural Board of Review (ABR) had voted last November to deny.

The showdown—simultaneously theatrical, entertaining, confusing, infuriating, and exhausting—highlighted the intractable tensions on the South Coast between the desperate need for additional rental housing and Santa Barbara’s historic insistence on lowimpact, smaller-scale development. Inflaming this tension further are new state housing laws —passed in response to California’s escalating housing emergency—that threaten to strip local governments of all discretionary authority over housing developments.

It will take a long time for the dust on Tuesday night’s vote to settle, if it ever does. Both sides argued that their due-process rights had been violated. Both sides accused the other of bad-faith and bait-and-switch tactics. Both sides, in their own ways, were right. Both walked away nursing wounds of outrage.

After Tuesday night, the city’s controversial, experimental, high-density AUD rental housing program—short for Average Unit-Size Density—just got even more controversial.

Lining up against it were not just the surviving remnants of the city’s original slow-growth

F

establishment—for whom “quality of life” was a mantra—but a new breed of neighborhood activists who are uncommonly tough, smart, confrontational, theatrical, and, when it comes to City Hall, totally distrustful.

Also highlighted were the political fault lines of race and class, brought more to the fore since the City Council has recently transitioned to district representation rather than at-large.

Councilmember Jason Dominguez, in whose district the proposed development lies, accused his colleagues of treating the Eastside as a “dumping ground” for big projects because his constituents were largely low-income and Latino. The council voted to kill other similarly oversized projects, he charged, in neighborhoods that were predominantly white and affluent. “This project is the poster child for neighborhood incompatibility,” he charged. “There’s no way this project ever gets built in San Roque, Samarkand, or the Mesa.”

Councilmember Eric Friedman, who represents San Roque, shot back that that two very large housing developments—The Marc and the Estancia—lie in his district.

Ultimately, a clear council majority agreed that Alan Bleecker — who has run Capitol Hardware at 711 Milpas Street for more than 30 years—played by all the rules in seeking the city permits needed to build rental housing he says his own employees can afford, but that members of the ABR changed the rules on him last November when it voted to kill his project. In June 2016, the ABR voted unanimously to give Bleecker what’s known as

project design approval, an arcane term of art meaning that the development is essentially approved. The proposal was to knock down Capitol Hardware and several of the buildings next door, replacing them with four stories of commercial and rental housing.

Initially, Bleecker proposed 73 housing units and nearly 6,000 square feet of commercial. But when city officials notified Bleecker his project was in a floodplain, he changed his plans, reducing the square footage devoted to commercial by about half and adding three additional rental units. Last November, he took his plans back to the ABR to get final approval for the changes. The ABR was instructed that city planners had already determined that Bleecker’s new plans “substantially conformed” to the old ones. The boardmembers were told the only issue they could consider when voting for final approval was “substantial conformance.” The board had other ideas. New members had joined the board since 2016, such as Dave Watkins, who savaged Bleecker’s proposal Tuesday night, describing the project as “an uninspiring island” that succeeded only in “being unique.”

NEWS BRIEFS CITY Santa Barbara’s city bus system celebrated 50 years as the Metropolitan Transit District on 3/27, but its antecedents date back to 1870. A pop-up MTD Museum at MTD headquarters looked back and forward 50 years, from its start with 12 buses on six routes to 112 today serving 42 routes. Along with MTD’s 2030 goal for a 100 percent zeroemission fleet, a special program at 11:30 a.m. discussed the future of “microtransit”— “microtransit” or a curbto-curb, on-demand system — smartcards for payment, service apps, and new facility upgrades.

STATE State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson has authored a bill to restrict gun ownership among people with certain alcohol offenses, such as multiple DUI convictions and vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. The UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program found that persons convicted of the offenses had a higher propensity for future gun violence. Jackson’s legislation adds alcoholrelated, nonviolent offenses to others that lead to gun restrictions — such as certain violent misdemeanors (assault with firearm, corporal injury on a spouse), felony conviction, and narcotic addiction — currently on the books. Her Senate Bill 55 passed the Senate Public Safety Committee on 3/26 and goes next to the Appropriations Committee.

LAW & DISORDER An early March effort to deter drivers from using their cell phones resulted in eight citations for either texting or talking on the phone in the Goleta area. Nine people were issued warnings.

“We base our stops on actually seeing people talking or texting without using a hands-free feature while driving,” said Sgt. John Maxwell. He added that April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month and that two more operations are planned. The state Office of Traffic Safety conducted a study in 2018 that found 0.35 percent of drivers in Santa Barbara County used a handheld device while driving and half a percent talked on the phone while driving. Either will net a $162 for a first offense and $285 for a second.

The overall crime rate was 11 percent lower in 2018 than in 2017 for areas patrolled by the Sheriff’s Office, reported the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, and the most serious crimes hit their lowest numbers in the past 10 years. Sheriff Bill Brown credits the decline to the hard work of the Sheriff’s Office team and to the collaborative efforts throughout the community. “We are incredibly fortunate to live in a community where law enforcement, prosecutors, public defenders, and the courts are all working collaboratively to improve public safety within our communities,” said Brown. The report included the unincorporated areas of Santa Barbara County and the cities policed by the Sheriff’s Office: Buellton, Carpinteria, Goleta, and Solvang.

anta Barbara Unified School District jumped the gun on Assembly Bill 746, which requires all California public schools to have their water tested for lead by July 1, 2019. In a proactive move, S.B. Unified had their water tested in June 2016 and replaced a kitchen pot filler at La Colina Jr. High that was dispensing water with 15 parts per billion (ppb) of lead, the legal limit in which action is required. However, other schools in the district had results of lead above 5 ppb, the federal regulation limit for bottled water, and no action has been taken. Most notable was Franklin Elementary School’s Room 19 drinking fountain, which had results of 13 ppb, only 2 ppb below actionable level.

Although, no legal action is required for results below 15 ppb, other schools in the area have taken action for results below 15 ppb. In Goleta Unified District, Hollister Elementary School had two drinking fountains between 5 and 15ppb. The district removed one fountain and installed an inline filter on the other. S.B.

Aside from the actionable result, seven other samples at five different schools showed results between 5 and 15 ppb. However, “based on the average service life of most faucets, some may have already been replaced during routine maintenance,” said Bianchi.

Lead exposure can lower a child’s IQ, affect brain and nervous system development, slow growth, and cause hearing and

speech problems. The Environmental Protection Agency set the 15-ppb threshold in the 1980s. Since then, they’ve set forth a public health goal of 0.2 ppb for lead in drinking water. The American Academy of Pediatrics also recommends state and local government “take steps to ensure that water fountains in schools do not exceed water lead concentration of 1 part per billion.” Children under the age of 6 are especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of lead.

There is across-the-board consensus that no levels of lead are safe for children.

City Homeless Numbers Down

Data Contradicts Growing Public Dissent he growing disconnect between measurable reality and public perception was highlighted by the results of this year’s biennial homeless count, which reveals the number of homeless people throughout the city of Santa Barbara, has actually dropped over the past two years despite the dramatic increase in public discourse on the issue.

According to the most recent “Point-In-Time Count,” as it is officially known, the number of homeless people countywide has remained pretty much the same — 1,803 this year as opposed to 1,860 two years ago. But in the City of Santa Barbara — always the largest homeless population center — the recorded numbers dropped by 100, from 987 to 887.

His muse was the artistic process itself, which he explored by telling the stories of various artists. Spencer broke onto the journalistic scene in the 1980s, first writing for the now-defunct The Weekly before being lured away by the News & Review, for which he reported news.

Spencer also wrote for the Independent, which emerged out of the fusion of those two papers. He would be the first writer to move from Santa Barbara’s world of weekly journalism to daily, writing about art and music for the Santa Barbara News-Press.

ocumentary filmmaker, writer, and former Santa Barbara Independent reporter Russ Spencer has been identified as the person struck and killed on Highway 101 early Saturday morning. How Spencer, who’d struggled with health issues and psychological demons over the years, came to be on the freeway by the Olive Mill overpass remains the subject of official inquiry, as is whether his death should be ruled a suicide or accidental death. Initially his death was reported as a hit-and-run; witnesses said that a car struck Spencer’s body, and the driver stopped, checked, and then drove on. That driver has since been identified, and it remains uncertain what, if any charges, will be filed.

As a filmmaker and writer, Spencer’s rare gift was his ability to convey a person’s

evin Buckley, fire chief of the Painted Cave Volunteer Fire Department, has been accused of using departmental funds to buy an $1,800 dining room table, a $1,200 artificial Christmas tree, a 62-inch flatscreen TV, and hundreds of dollars’ worth of gas for travel unrelated to departmental business. These charges were included in a lawsuit filed this week filed by an ad hoc committee of Painted Cave residents who claim they’ve been forced to sue to get basic answers from Buckley and the fire department’s board of directors as to how money is being spent and decisions are getting made.

Included in the ad hoc committee are many members of the department itself, including attorney Phil Seymour—a former hotshot for the Forest Service—who drafted the complaint. Because the fire department is recognized as a tax-exempt nonprofit by the state, Seymour is arguing that Buckley and the board must comply with all the open-government rules pertaining to public documents and open meetings.

The lawsuit sprang out of concerns by some volunteer firefighters about lack of follow-through by Buckley, who has functioned as chief since 1998. The department was started in 1965 and officially incorpo-

rated as a nonprofit in 2003. The lawsuit states it has received $675,000 in grants since 2005 and that Buckley has drawn compensation of $60,000 a year. Efforts to get access to financial records to determine where the money’s coming from and where it’s going, Seymour complained, have been met with “furious resistance.” Buckley, he contended, ran the department with “incompetence and secretive management style.”

At a community meeting held on February 9, 93 Painted Cave residents showed up.

Boardmembers reportedly asked for more time to conduct an internal inquiry of their own. Those efforts have been dismissed by committee members as either ineffectual or insincere, thus giving rise to the lawsuit.

In the meantime, the department retained the services of Rich Lauritsen, a fire captain with the Montecito Fire Department out on injury leave. Lauritsen reportedly sent out an email on February 11 effectively disbanding the department indefinitely. Typically, spring is the time when volunteers and cadets begin preparing for fire season.

Phone calls to Buckley and Boardmember Rich Roblar have not been returned.

Turning a Corner

Mixed-Use Building Finally Replaces Old Union Station

L

by Melinda Burns and Nick Welsh

ast Thursday, the long-delayed and much-disputed building across the street from the Montecito Inn held its grand opening. The site of the former 1950s-style Union 76 gas station at the corner of Coast Village and Olive Mill roads is now a swanky three-story mixed-use development. Five residences — called the Villas at Olive Mill — sit atop Folded Hills’s Montecito tasting room, Heather James Fine Art, and Village Properties Realtors.

After submitting the initial application in 2004, owners John Price and Tod Berlinger had their patience tested by 28 hearings and four lawsuits before getting the final green light in 2017. John Price is the founder and president of Price Management, which owns gas stations and car washes in the Santa Barbara area, and Berlinger is the company’s CFO. About 250 guests attended the opening bash, including almost every elected official in the city and county. Addressing the crowd from the balcony of one of the tiny units was former mayor Helene Schneider, who acknowledged the project’s long and winding road and lauded Price and his wife, Janna, for their vision, persistence, and grace in creating a “beautiful gateway into Santa Barbara and Montecito.”

No expense was spared in the five villas, which range in size from 2,200 to 3,300 square feet and are priced between $3 million and $5 million. Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman has already purchased one.

The owners of Folded Hills Winery — Kim and Andy Busch (of Anheuser-Busch) —created a tasting room designed to give guests “a little flavor of ranch living” and be enticed to “come visit the estate, taste wine, feed and pet baby pigs, goats, donkeys, and even take selfies with the Clydesdales,” said Kim. The Buschs had their first vintage in 2015, which was from purchased Ballard Canyon grapes.

Heather James Fine Art has the 2,000-square-foot corner spot, where it

will host a cross-section of impressionist, modern, post-war, contemporary, Latin American, and old master works. Highlights currently on display are pieces by Claude Monet, Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Robert Indiana, and Roy Lichtenstein.

Conspicuous by his absence at the opening was Texas billionaire and one time Santa Barbara resident Randall Van Wolfswinkel, who in 2009 was so enraged by Price’s proposed development that he spent more than $520,000 trying to get a brand-new Santa Barbara City Council elected. By the standards of council elections, Van Wolfswinkel and his money loomed over the political landscape, promoting the candidacies of conservative Republicans and old-school slow-growthers.

Part and parcel of the same uprising, Van Wolfswinkel spent lavishly on a ballot measure that would lower the maximum building height in Santa Barbara. Then-mayoral candidate Schneider managed to weather Van Wolfswinkel’s financial onslaught to win election over her most threatening rival, Dale Francisco, then the arch wizard of conservative politics in Santa Barbara.

As a person, Van Wolfswinkel flew far below the radar. He was allegedly upset by the pace and scale of development then taking place and looked askance at Price’s proposal to convert the Union 76 gas station into high-end housing. On Santa Barbara’s political chessboard, Price ranks as a knight or a bishop, one of those low-key characters, personally conservative, who seem to know everyone and donate both loyally and strategically to candidates of all ideological stripes.

Although Van Wolfswinkel ultimately failed in this power grab, it did have lasting consequences. Though Francisco lost in his mayoral bid, he retained his council seat. He would be joined on the dais by similarly minded conservatives Michael Self and Frank Hotchkiss. And although the building height measure went down to defeat, it too remains consequential. It marked the emergence of the Republican NIMBY, an anomalous but persistent element of Santa ■ Barbara politics.

Carbajal Comments on Mueller Report

C

ongressmember Salud Carbajal is reserving judgment on whether or not President Trump obstructed justice until after he has seen the entirety of the Mueller report.

“We need to wait until we have all the evidence,” said Carbajal. His vote was included in a unanimous bipartisan House of Representatives March 14 vote asking for the report to be made public. Most recently, a handful of Democratic leaders are asking for a complete copy of the report by April 2. The March 24 summarizing memo by Attorney General William Barr does not suffice, said Carbajal. “It raises more questions than it answers.”

One of the most pressing questions Carbajal has about the memo is about the inconsistencies. Carbajal quoted the memo, “the report sets out evidence on both sides of the question and leaves unresolved what the Special Counsel views as ‘difficult issues’ of law and fact concerning whether the President’s actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction.” Carbajal emphasized that the report set out evidence on both sides.

However, Barr goes on to write that he and

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein “have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel’s investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-ofjustice offense.”

Carbajal would like to revisit the question of whether crimes of obstruction were committed. “The report did not exonerate,” said Carbajal. Carbajal said that the only way to move forward now is to put forward the full report, be transparent, and examine the findings. Carbajal reminded the Independent that five Trump senior campaign members pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the Mueller probe. Twenty-eight others were charged, 26 of which are Russians, said Carbajal. “That’s really important stuff.”

The report is especially timely with the 2020 elections just around the corner. The report is a necessary step in learning from past mistakes, said Carbajal. “We have to understand the details to ensure [election interference] never happens again.”

Massive Housing Project cont’d from p. 9 any given meeting, given how cryptically the agendas were written. Their big beef was with the half block of Ortega Street that runs along the side of the project and dead-ends at Santa Barbara Junior High School. Under Bleecker’s plans, that public street will be reconfigured to function as a private parking lot for a private developer. That decision, they complained, was made by a city planner without any public hearing or public notice.

City traffic planners insist the new design will make the street safer, but neighborhood critics insist otherwise. Perpendicular parking will be allowed, meaning more cars can be parked into the available space and more cars backing out of their stalls at the same time as students from four nearby schools make their way to and from school.

The much-debated Ortega Street dead end happens to be an entryway to Santa Barbara Junior High School. City traffic planners say the project will have better, wider sidewalks, but neighborhood critics charged the new configuration “is an accident waiting to happen.” Making matters worse, they charged, Bleecker had allowed special modifications

he secured to create the parking and sidewalks on Ortega Street to expire last April.

City planners agreed to voluntarily extend those modifications on the grounds that they never notified Bleecker that they had expired.

Project critics termed this extension — unnoticed and never the subject of public hearing — another violation of their due process.

City Planner Renee Brook conceded Tuesday night that city planners typically do not notify project applicants when their modifications are about to expire. That’s something, she said, they are expected to track.

Project opponents claimed they were told they could not appeal the final approval, but they couldn’t say by whom. They then said nobody ever told them they could appeal.

For Councilmember Friedman — already inclined to support the development — that was the last straw. They had multiple opportunities to appeal the project and they never did. When they pleaded ignorance and inexperience, he chided them, “You look pretty savvy to me.” At the end of the day, said Mayor Murillo, Santa Barbara needs 76 new n rental units.

undreds of people from Santa Barbara, Goleta, and beyond signed a petition arguing that hoop structures, usually used for berry crops but now used for cannabis, should be allowed in the Santa Ynez Valley Community Plan’s Design Overlay along scenic highways. Farmers have lived in the Design Overlay for years, but suddenly people from out of town and hoop farmers are clamoring to undo its protections?

Cannabis farmers are not protected by the Right to Farm Ordinance, which limits nuisance complaints.

S.B. County is the only one in the state that allows unlimited acreage for cannabis. The county can lawfully limit where and how it is grown.

A primary goal of the Community Plan is to preserve the valley’s rural character, and the Design Overlay is one way to achieve that goal. Tourism is an important source of income for many businesses.

Residents and visitors come to enjoy our rural, not our industrial, character. It would be foolish to add synthetic, bright-white, 20-foot-high hoop structures along our scenic highways. ​—​​Susan​Belloni, Solvang

...

s an avocado grower in the Carpinteria Valley, I have increasing concern about cannabis operations. The cannabis industry has obtained extremely high toxicity standards for its plants, which are mainly grown in greenhouses. These standards, which are strongly claimed as necessary to protect their plants, may or may not be necessary. But the insistence on these inflated plant tolerances has one important side effect: It puts non-cannabis growers adjacent to their facilities in some peril.

For avocado, vegetable, or even flower growers, seasonal pests must be controlled. Spraying, using approved, safe, and effective materials, has been done for years, until now. The cannabis industry’s insistence that their purity standards are inviolate has had a chilling effect on local farm operations. Some spray operators have said they will not be able to apply the materials this year, citing farm proximity to a grow operation.

We cannot sell fruit that is scarred and damaged from pests like thrips and persea mites. The damage done in these cases is particularly acute for smaller farms. These are often family businesses with much or all of their acreage adjacent to a grow operation.

Combine this with the present and proposed cannabis acreage, and the true extent of the problem emerges.

For some non-cannabis farms, this danger is existential. If we cannot get a fair and equitable price for our crops, then we must look elsewhere to support ourselves. Selling existing farmland for more housing

projects or to a vastly expanding cannabis industry is an unpleasant but distinct possibility. This is a future that few Carpinterians would embrace.

One important tool to reverse this lies with the Board of Supervisors. They could and should order the Planning department to include the Coastal Zone, including of course the Carpinteria Valley, in its evaluation of a ban on cannabis production on AG-1 parcels of less than 20 acres.

The county has quickly become perhaps the biggest locus of the California cannabis industry. The Carpinteria Valley in turn has become the driving engine for this local surge of cannabis sprawl. We farmers may be on the wrong side of historical inevitability, but I think not quite yet. With some help, we may be able ​ to bring some balance to our agricultural future. ​

The Year 2019

W

hat kind of year will 2019 be? Thanks to the left’s control of the House of Representatives and the media, it will be a dark year, and Americans will be kept in a constant stage of agitation. There will be innumerable hearings, criminal investigations, and possible indictments.

The goal of the left is to weaken, disable, and impeach President Trump, and undo the 2016 presidential election results. The truth won’t matter. Defamation will. What is good for America won’t matter, either.

The Democratic Party and the mainstream media will do to American political life what they have done to the arts, universities, high schools, the Boy Scouts, race relations, religion, marriage, the moral fiber of American life, TV, and football. They will poison it.

And then, when you throw in socialism, open borders, and censorship of conservatives by social media, our country is in big trouble. Will 2019 be the year the left destroys the greatest country ever made? I pray not. ​—​​Don​Thorn, Carpinteria

Jon R. Ramsey

02/24/42-03/09/19

Jon Ramsey, age 77, passed away peacefully at home in Goleta, California, on March 9, 2019. Jon was born on February 24, 1942, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Frederick and Miriam Ramsey. He grew up in Gates Mills, Ohio, where he attended University School.

Jon was diagnosed with cancer in January of 2016. He faced this diagnosis and ensuing three plus years with the same style and grace that he exhibited every day of his life, and until his last breath was a thoughtful, kind, generous, optimistic, intellectually curious, and loving husband, father, and friend. Jon was a gentle man with a gentle soul, and a deep love for the written and spoken word, whose most cherished goal in life was to be a generous spirited person who always wanted to improve the lives of people in his “little corner of the world.”

Jon received his B.A. (English, history, and pre-med studies) from San Diego State College/University in 1965, his M.A. (English) from University of California, Riverside in 1966, and PhD from University of California, Riverside (Romantic, Victorian, and early-modern British literature) in 1972.

He began his teaching career as Teaching Assistant at UC Riverside (1965-1967) and then at UC Santa Barbara (1969-1976) first as Acting Assistant Professor English then Assistant Professor of English. He found teaching at UC Santa Barbara rewarding, and made many life-long friends during these years, but also often referred to the period as a “tumultuous time,” with student protests on campus and a massive oil spill threatening the beaches.

Jon accepted positions of Assistant Professor of English (19771981) and Associate Professor of English (1981-2004) at Skidmore 20

THE INDEPENDENT

College in Saratoga Springs, NY, where he taught introductions to English Literature, poetry, and fiction, as well as Romantic and American literature, depictions of childhood in literature, Franz Kafka, William Blake, the grotesque in literature, and Edgar Allan Poe. In 1980, he organized the national symposium “With Corroding Fires: William Blake as Poet, Printmaker and Painter” hosted by Skidmore College and Union College. He created and taught in Skidmore College’s London Program for Juniors (Spring 1997) and London Program for Freshmen (Fall 2002). In his final year at Skidmore, Jon taught the Honors Forum senior seminar: Research Writing and Epistemologies Across the Disciplines.

Jon became interested in Administration and was appointed Associate Dean of Students and Director of Student Academic Affairs at Skidmore College (19811994) and Coordinator of Winter Term (1981-85). As Dean of Studies and Associate Dean of Students at Skidmore College (1994-2004) he also served as Director of Academic Advising, Director of Internships, and Director of Skidmore London Programs. During his 27 years at Skidmore, Jon was instrumental in the creation and implementation of numerous guidelines, policies, and programs, including Classroom Protocols, the Office of International Programs, and the Honors Forum. The annual Honors Forum Lecture, launched in 1999, was renamed the Jon Ramsey Honors Forum Lecture upon his retirement.

From 1981-2004 Jon served on the advisory boards of Beaver College/Arcadia College Programs Abroad and Butler University Programs Abroad and was a member and frequent contributor to the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA). He also served on the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES) Academic Council (1997-2000) and as U.S. Advisor to the Advanced Studies in England (Bath) (2001-2004).

Upon retirement from Skidmore College, Jon and his wife Kitty moved to Santa Barbara, California. Retirement never took hold and from 2005-2006 he served as Director of Policy, Publications, and Analysis in the Graduate Division of UC Santa Barbara.

In the fall of 2006, he returned to teaching as Lecturer in the Writing Program at UC Santa Barbara where he taught, until his retirement in 2014, courses in first-year and sophomore-level composition, advanced composition, business writing, and writing for the humanities. He also organized and led numerous faculty panels on a variety of pedagogical topics.

During Jon’s career, he published numerous articles and book chapters (William Wordsworth, Ernest Dowson, student plagiarism) and co-edited two books on literature, writing and administrative issues, authored many academic papers, and participated in panels, exhibitions, and presentations on behalf of Skidmore College, UC Santa Barbara, and IES. Upon retirement, Jon wrote the

undergraduate textbook Business Writing Scenarios: Writing from the Inside, published by Bedford/ St. Martin’s (2016).

Jon is survived by his loving partner in life and wife of 30 years Kitty, his beloved daughters Kathy and Alison, sons-in-law Andrew and Jason, granddaughter Martha, brother and sister-in-law Ted and Jean Ramsey, and extended family who, though separated by geographical distance, remained dear to his heart. Jon was predeceased by his parents Frederick and Miriam Ramsey, his sister Judy, and his former wife, and mother of his daughters, Martha Neal-Brown.

The family wishes to thank the many doctors, nurses, aides, staff members, and volunteers of The Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, Sansum Clinic, Cottage Hospital, Assisted Hospice Care, and Hospice of Santa Barbara for their professional and compassionate assistance in caring for our beloved Jon. We extend heartfelt thanks, as well, to our many friends and neighbors who provided much needed comfort and support.

Burial will be private at the convenience of family. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 6, in the Lounge Room of the Encina Royale Clubhouse, 250 Moreton Bay Lane, Goleta, CA. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Jon’s name to one of the following organizations dear to Jon’s heart: ASAP Cat Shelter, 5473 Overpass Rd., Goleta, CA 93111; KCET public television (kcet.org); Assisted Hospice Care, 302 N.

Linda Taylor

I knew Linda for over 40 years.

Wow! I met her on Mountain Drive. Even then she was a super eclectic and an eccentric fun human - and those crazy wonderful traits of hers increased over the years. One thing I loved about her is how she spoke her mind. We attended many seminars together.

We all might be sweltering, and yet not willing to interrupt a speaker.

Not Linda - she would just get up and open a window, or (loudly) insist someone do it before we all passed out. Being subtle was not Linda. Linda became "Luria Raye” her angel name. Luria Raye was working with essential oils long before many people knew what they were. She made blends and was generous about sharing them and loved to anoint nearly anyone she came in contact with. The biggest impact she had on me was inviting me to an 11:11 gathering in 1992, which subsequently changed the trajectory of my life. She had

broader boundaries than many of us, and had boundless courage about doing things, no matter what her physical age. She was a queen of hugging. She was ahead of her time in so many ways, that I feel it sometimes made it difficult for her to be in this realm of existence. We know she is flying with the angels now, and we are ever so curious as to what magic she is up to now!

An afternoon Memorial will be held Sunday, March 31,1:00 PM at Ayni Gallery, 216 State St. All friends and loved ones of Linda’s are most welcomed to join in remembering her and celebrating the freedom of her passage.

Donald Arthur Rose 08/25/51-02/08/19

As the sun rose on the morning of February 8, 2019, Donald Arthur Rose (Don) peacefully passed away surrounded by his beautiful orchids at the Serenity House and was reunited with his beautiful wife, Linda and precious daughter, Lindsay.

Don was born on August 25, 1951 and grew up on Rancho Buena Vista near Tucker’s Grove. He moved with his parents, Arthur and Ethel; his older brother, Richard; younger sister Christine and his baby brother, Timothy from Santa Monica when he was 5 years old. The Rose family spent many happy days on their ranch, enjoying picnics and hiking at Tucker’s Grove. Don also enjoyed many long summer days surfing with his friends at College Point, Sands, and Jalama. After Don’s parents retired, Don, Richard and Tim purchased the house from their parents and lived there together until Richard and Tim got married. Don loved the Rancho Buena Vista where he spent the rest of his life gardening and tending to his exotic collection of orchids.

He attended Cathedral Oaks School, as well as Goleta Valley JH, La Colina JH, and San Marcos High School. He graduated from UCSB with a BS degree in Physics.

Don had a long professional career as a freelance technical writer. Don worked at many local technology companies and institutions, including Delco, Digital Sound, Sputtered Film, Vetronix, and most recently FLIR. Don met his future wife, Linda Marie Hollenhorst, while at Delco.

Don and Linda married in Santa Barbara on July 7, 1990. They were blessed when their daughter, Lindsay Anne Rose, entered their lives on February 17, 1994. Lindsay had a beautiful childhood growing up in Goleta and excelled academically and athletically. The Rose family spent many happy days on the softball field with Lindsay as an outstanding player, Don coaching, and Linda cheering them on with friends in the stands.

Don’s two-plus decades of coaching softball started simply as a father coach to his daughter Lindsay with Goleta Valley Girls Softball Association (GVGSA). He later became the head coach of the JV Girls softball at Dos Pueblos High School and coached there until 2018. Don also helped coach the Central Coast Express, a travel club team comprised of girls from Goleta to Paso Robles. Coach Don’s commitment, humor and strength were truly an inspiration to many of the hundreds of young ladies and their families that had the privilege to have him as their coach.

Don was a member of the Jazz Combo Workshop directed by Kim Collins off and on for nearly 20 years. In that time, he worked on mastering improvisation on the trumpet, playing many beautiful lines in harmony with his combo mates. He will be greatly missed by his friends in the class especially Court, Erik, Bill, Gretchen, Jim, Dan, Tom and Manny, who all joined him in recent years in his combo that performed in many jazz concerts.

Don enjoyed F1 racing which he literally followed to Austin, Indy, Montreal, Spa, Long Beach, and Japan. He was proud of his Ferrari hat and stock he had in the company.

In the last 10 years of his life, Don faced the most traumatic and sorrowful situations that life can present: the loss of a beloved child followed by the loss of a loving spouse and partner and then diagnosis of his own terminal illness.

Throughout it all, Don displayed remarkable courage and good grace. He was never bitter, resentful or self-pitying. Following the loss of their daughter, Don and Linda’s marriage grew even stronger.

When Linda became ill, Don was a devoted and selfless caretaker.

Don’s special courage in the face of the most wrenching challenges that life can present was a true inspiration to all who knew him.

The Rose family would like to extend their appreciation to the many loyal friends who have offered their support during his courageous battle with cancer and a very special thank you to all of the nurses at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, and Ridley Tree Cancer Center and Serenity House who provided such compassionate care during his final days.

He is survived by his younger brother Timothy Rose; sisters-inlaw: Beata Rose, Kathy Rose, Kathy Howell and brother-in-law Brad Howell.

Don is predeceased by his wife, Linda; his daughter, Lindsay; his parents Arthur and Ethel; his brother, Richard; his sister, Christine and mother-in-law, Ceil.

Don’s family and friends will gather at Tucker’s Grove area 2 on Saturday, April 13th at 1:00pm to share our love and memories of Don. Food and refreshments will be provided; please email your questions to Gaby at rosesinsb@ gmail.com.

In his memory, please donate to Ridley Tree Cancer Center, Serenity House of Santa Barbara, Goleta Valley Library, or Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy.

obituaries Mark Lea Vedder 07/04/47-03/10/19

Mark Lea Vedder, mostly known as Moki, was born on July 4, 1947 to JoAnne Dixon and Dwight Vedder. He attended Aliso School in Kindergarten and then went to Canalino School, both in Carpinteria. After eighth grade, he went to Midland High School in Los Olivos, CA graduating in 1965. His College years began then and were spent at the University of Arizona at Tucson where he often ended up on the Dean’s List. His college years were interrupted by his being drafted and going to Vietnam in the Army for two years.

His working career was in insurance, banking and carpentry. He worked for Household Finance in the early 70’s and then Santa Barbara Savings in the later 70’s. His carpentry career served him well as he lived in Arizona, Colorado, Alabama and California.

Moki had many interests including woodworking, photography and reading avidly but best of all he was a great storyteller. His sarcastic wit and spin on any subject always made it a bit more interesting. His poetry and heart-shaped toilet seats were yet more of his talents.

As a young boy, he and cohort, Jack Griffith used to ride around the ranch on a home-made go-cart.

Perhaps this was the beginning of his love for motorcycles and all things fast. He used to go up and down the hallway making the reving sound of a speeding car.

His sports career began with tennis lessons from Hilbert Lee at the Montecito Country Club. He was a good tennis player playing in the Ojai Open Tournament one spring. Many years of fun were had at the Hollister Ranch hunting and hiking with Doyle and David. He also liked going to the Duck Club with Papa and Wicki and many other friends over the years. He was an excellent dancer and his dancing career began with Cotillion classes at the Music Academy.

His favorite dancing partner was Yvonne, even though she was a bit taller than he.

Moki had a way about him.

When he wasn’t being sarcastic, he could be so sensitive and deeply wise, always hoping to give a little levity or humor to the moment. He had a smile and a look that would say, “Come on...it will be okay.” And so it would.

He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Order E Clampus Vitus which is dedicated to the preservation of the heritage of the American West. He often went “clamping” with other “Clampers” and really enjoyed it.

After living in Alabama, Cambria and Santa Ynez, Moki settled down in Carpinteria where he has

Moki is the father of two wonderful children, Emily Vedder and Mark Vedder, Jr. She and son, Caden would often join him at his favorite restaurant, The Nugget.

He held court there everyday and Caden loved to sit at the bar with his Grandpa. Mark would also visit his Dad at the Nugget as it was always interesting to see who Moki was conversing with that day.

Moki died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, March 10th. He was predeceased by his father Dwight Vedder, mother JoAnne Mauracher, step-father Ali Mauracher, sister Cathie Vedder, brother Viktor Mauracher and sister Heidi Mauracher. He is survived by his long-term girlfriend Freba Morris, daughter Emily Vedder and her son Caden, his son Mark Vedder, Jr, sister Mimi Mauracher, his niece Erika Hollister Cotter and husband Brendan and their three children, Jameson, Ilaria and Julienne with another on the way.

There will be a private family burial. Please make donations to your favorite charity. There will be a memorial service from 1:30 - 4:30 at Lions Club Park, 6197 Casitas Pass Road in Carpinteria on Sunday, March 31st.

Bryson Smith Randolph 04/29/37-12/18/18

Bryson Smith Randolph, age 81, died Dec. 18th, 2018 in his home in Memphis. Born to Bryson Randolph and Janette Smith Randolph on April 29th, 1937 in Westport, CT, and raised in upstate NY. Bryson graduated from high school in 1955 and was accepted at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.

Upon graduating from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy with an engineering degree in 1959, Bryson moved to Los Angeles and married his first wife, the former Gwen Hefner. He started a family and became a general contractor building apartments in the area.

He soon discovered Santa Barbara and moved his family there and began a successful career in the real estate investment business.

An active real estate investor for more than 40 years, he enjoyed mentoring his younger colleagues and had a reputation for high integrity and practical wisdom.

While in Santa Barbara, Bryson enjoyed the Valley Club and Knowlwood Tennis Club where he served a term as board president.

He was also a supporter of the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara and the Foundation for Santa Barbara City College.

Nelson Curtis Pinkham

George Thomas Glass

Nelson Pinkham, 82 years old of Carpinteria passed away on March 7, 2019. He was born in Santa Barbara and he spent most of his life in beautiful Carpinteria, where his family owned a flower ranch. It was Nelson's idea to plant avocados and make his ranch an Avocado ranch, Nelson worked and loved that ranch with a passion. His other passions, were a variety of flowers, animals and his hobby of collecting antiques.

Nelson was known for his infectious smile, his kind and compassionate spirit, his unique personality, his sense of humor!

He was a man who appreciated the simple things in life, whether it was a chocolate ice cream, or a car ride to the beach or to sunny downtown Santa Barbara. He loved going to Sizzlers in Ventura and appreciated singing his favorite song "the Yellow submarine" all the way down the coast!

He will never be forgotten. He left an imprint in each person who met him, in all of those that knew him and the caregivers who spent the last three years of his life with him. He became a part of their family and they became a part of his. We want to thank the team that took such good care of him Armando Cervantes and Africa Espino, who were there from day one and until his last breath. Marisela Torres , Ana Montalvo, Mayra Cervantes, the extraordinary caregivers who gave him some of the best days of his life. We also want to thank Everardo Vallejo, who took care of his animals.

He will be missed by his favorite sister in law Audrey Pinkham. His 3 loyal dogs, Osa, Sheila and Nicky miss him dearly, everyday...

We want to thank Sarah House for making a home away from home for Nelson, he was grateful to always have a safe place to go to when he needed more help. To team Assisted, Marianne Wohler, Holly Joseph, thank you for so much help during the evacuations, thank you for so much patience and for always being available when he needed something, you are the best!, and finally Irving thank you for so many massages that left a smile on his face.

Nelson, we love you, you will be remembered always, in a perfect green avocado,in the generosity towards animals, in the many roses that bloom in Santa Barbara, and each and every time we hear that

George Glass, loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, passed away peacefully March 20, 2019, at home in the arms of his loving wife of 76 years, Ruby, and surrounded by family.

George was born August 14, 1924 in Sumner, Texas to Lewis and Myrtle (Knight) Glass. He was the youngest of 4 children. His family moved to Paris, Texas, where George met 16 year old Ruby Lee Harvey while attending Paris High School. The two were married in 1942 after graduating. As soon as he was of age, George enlisted in the Marines and was sent to San Diego for basic training. George and Ruby were then sent to Santa Barbara, where he was deployed to the South Pacific during World War II. He left the service as a Sergeant and has always held his experience in the Marines dear to his heart.

After the war, George returned to Santa Barbara and began working at Jordano’s as a meat cutter.

They started the Handy Food Market in 1953, a small, family-run grocery store on Milpas St. George ran the meat department and Ruby worked the register. The store soon became popular with the families on the east side and the Rivera and was the place to not only shop, but also the hub to visit and chat with one another.

They had 3 boys, George (Tom) Jr., Ron, and Rick who all helped at the store as they grew up. They were members of the First Methodist Church and very active in the boys’ school and sports activities.

In his spare time, George enjoyed many hobbies. Whether they were square dancing with the Fairs & Squares, or dancing swing, ballroom, or cha-cha, George and Ruby always felt at home on the dance floor. They even won first place in a “Dancing with the Stars” competition on a Princess Cruise at the age of 88 against much younger competition. He was also a banjo player, whittler, golfer, water skier, scuba diver, and motorcycle rider. He and Ruby traveled across the USA and Canada on their bike after retiring. They have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles cruising and seen almost every corner of the world but they have always looked forward to getting back to Santa Barbara.

George was an active member of the Elks Club and he and Ruby

were members of the Hits & Misses Golf Club. They helped with many of the golf tournaments at Santa Barbara Community Golf Course, and he was the course marshal for many years. He was also an excellent carpenter and woodworker, and with the help of his sons, built their family cabin in the Los Padres Forest.

He is survived by his wife Ruby and sons Tom (Pam), Ron (Barbie), and Rick (Debi), 6 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

There will be a viewing on Saturday March 30th between 10am and 1pm at Welch-Ryce-Haider Mortuary. Services will be Monday, April 1st at Santa Barbara Cemetery Chapel at 10 am.

The family wishes to thank Robert, Jill and Victor of Assisted Hospice of Santa Barbara and the wonderful homecare nurses who made bringing Dad home possible.

We will never forget the care and love you showed our family.

Charles R. Farmer 04/12/51-01/13/19

Friends and family of Charles R. Farmer, “Charley”, sadly announce his passing at Serenity House Santa Barbara on January 13, 2019. Although he was born in Potsdam, NY, April 12, 1951, he finally settled and lived a full and happy life in California; most of that time in Santa Barbara. A US Air Force veteran, his education and passion led him to a career in software engineering. Living and working in Santa Barbara he met and married Christy Kelso and began his lifelong relationship with her two sons, Eric Foote and Matt Laband. Charley was instrumental in helping to raise two fine young boys into adulthood. He remained family to Matt, Eric and Christy despite the break up of the marriage. All three were by his side with support and love as he battled cancer over his last years.

Charley gained many friends through his sporting endeavors, including golf, softball, and skiing.

He will be remembered for his generous heart, technical intelligence, his wit, and his uncanny ability and determination to live life on his own terms. He’ll be deeply missed in Palo Alto, Lake Tahoe, Kauai, and here in Santa Barbara.

Those who knew him appreciated his fun-loving nature which added laughter and fond memories to the golf round, the bridge table, and numerous social gatherings over multiple decades. He was unique and those who knew him well were familiar with his frequent answer to their question of why…”because I’m Charley Farmer.” We salute his life well lived and keep him close to our hearts.

n time, ERG may directly refute the carbon

So the question isn’t, “Will we need to produce oil and gas for the foreseeable future?” It is, “Where should we produce oil and gas?” The answer is obvious. Based on a variety of environmental, economic, social, and global metrics, we should produce it right here in California where we do it cleaner, safer, and smarter. In other words, here is where we do it ethically. Plus, our local oil and gas industry boasts the highest-paying jobs in Santa Barbara County’s ecosystem and provides local governments with millions in discretionary tax dollars.

And not only does Santa Barbara County’s oil and gas industry generate millions of dollars in revenues and royalties for our federal, state, and local governments in general; it provides critical financial resources for our public schools in particular, as well as for law enforcement and public safety.

In Santa Barbara County, for example, local property taxes are what are used to fund our countywide fire protection and prevention services. Without a strong, secure, and sustainable property tax base, families would lack the level of fire protection and pre-

emissions assertions made by a research fellow and assistant professor at UCSB. Not surprisingly the authors focus entirely on the dogma of environmental catechism. While I, too, am interested in matters of facts and data and have spent years debating dollars and cents on behalf of taxpayers throughout the county, I believe that common sense always prevails: In this case, shipping oil via tanker from across the globe is inherently more impactful to our environment than locally extracted sources.

Moreover, I submit more urgency should be focused instead on more pressing matters. For example, is it not long past time we have a serious conversation about the fact that in Santa Barbara County, a place where most people think we enjoy unparalleled prosperity, we actually hold the dubious distinction of having the third-highest rate of poverty in California?

Don’t misunderstand. It is not my intent to suggest that in the process of reviewing energy projects in Santa Barbara County, environmental considerations are irrelevant.

Still, in their anti-oil commentary, the authors admit there are alternative jurisdictions to Santa Barbara County How many environmentally woke for oil and gas production, and whether readers of the Santa Barbara those jurisdictions are in the Middle East or in Latin America, the carbon Independent know that oil and gas intensity is a problem.

OF GRIT

AND GRACE

Bethany Hamilton’s Unstoppable Journey from Shark Attack Victim to Inspirational Icon

H

by Ethan Stewart

er fame showed up fast and for all the wrong reasons. Bethany Hamilton was meant to arrive to the mainstream as a champion, as the premier female surfing talent of her generation — blessed with world-class athletic ability, whiplash-inducing beauty, and a spirit so definite and defined that it could light up a room.

Instead, at the age of 13, the Hawaiian native was attacked by a 15-foot tiger shark in the early-morning hours while surfing with some friends at her home break, Tunnels Beach, on the island of Kauai. She lost her left arm and more than 60 percent of her body’s blood while slipping into hypovolemic shock on the way to the hospital.

Lucky to be alive when she emerged from the hospital some three weeks later, Hamilton was a media sensation: the blond-haired teenage surfer girl who had escaped death.

But while everyone fawned over her and fretted about how the traumatic experience might derail the young teenager, Hamilton was planning a plot twist no one saw coming: One month after the attack, she was back on her board.

In the 15 years since, Hamilton has lived a life that is, if nothing else, one of pure inspiration. Not only was she back to surfing a week after leaving the hospital, but she also got right back to living after being released 70

from the hospital. Her losses on that fateful October 2003 morning have done little to limit her. Quite the contrary, actually.

With her Christian faith as compass, Hamilton has been able to draw full and powerful lines through a life that is anything but ordinary. She is a mother of two, a wife, a public role model for young women all over the world, a relentless advocate for amputees, the head of a nonprofit foundation, and, of course, one of the best wave riders you will ever see, no matter their sex or able appendages.

Her evolution from pity-worthy headline to an undeniable source of courage, inspiration, and awe is the stuff of fairy tales. She’s made the rounds on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today Show, 20/20, and Good Morning America, and ESPN honored her with the 2004 Best Comeback Athlete ESPY Award. She won money on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? and appeared on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and The Amazing Race. Hamilton’s story is the subject of a book, a documentary, a Hollywood film starring Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid, scores of magazine features, and, most recently, the 2018 film Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable.

Filmed by director Aaron Lieber over the course of four years, Unstoppable is a highgloss, feature-length, ultra-personal look at Hamilton’s relationship with the ocean and

CARVING OUT A LIVING: In the 15 years since a tiger shark attack took her left arm at the age of 13, Bethany Hamilton has lived a life that is one of pure inspiration, becoming a wife, mother, role model, advocate for amputees, head of a nonprofit foundation, and world-class surfer.

Her story is the subject of a new documentary, Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable, which premieres in S.B. at The Arlington Theatre on April 14.

I’VE NOT JUST CONTINUED TO SURF; I’VE DONE SO AT A LEVEL THAT IS COMPARABLE TO THE TOP WOMEN SURFERS IN THE WORLD! how it’s evolved in the years since she had to relearn everything as a one-armed teen.

From tow-ins at 50-foot Jaws and draining Indonesian barrels to fin-free aerial antics in Bali and countless unfiltered family moments in-between, Unstoppable is a portrait of equal parts grit and grace.

In anticipation of the April 14 Santa Barbara premiere of Unstoppable — an actionpacked day at The Arlington Theatre with Hamilton herself onstage — the Santa Barbara Independent caught up with the 29-yearold to talk to her about the film and what it’s like to ditch the “victim” label to realize a life beyond your wildest dreams.

What does the film’s title, Unstoppable, mean to you? I may not have always thought of myself as being “unstoppable.” But I was basically put in a position when I lost my arm where I could’ve stopped my life passion or kept going — and you know what I chose. Since then, it has been a part of my life every day, the choice to let something hold me back or not. I don’t always put the word “unstoppable” to it in my mind, but it’s what my life drive has been from a third-person point of view.

Are you tired of the shark attack stuff yet? It seems to always be how people introduce you or describe you. How do you move beyond such a defining life trauma and start telling a story that is rooted in the blossoming of a new day?

Nicely said! Yes, I’ve grown weary of the shark attack label; but it is part of my story. While I’ve learned to embrace it, part of me working on Unstoppable is to help tell that new story.

I’ve not just continued to surf; I’ve done so at a level that is comparable to the top women surfers in the world!

Clearly your faith is a big part of your strength and your identity. How do you see the intersection of your faith and your surfing? Is God in the ocean? I can remember being around 8 years old, on the beaches of Hawai‘i, confidently believing in God and the grace and love God has for me, with all my sights and talent being driven toward becoming a professional surfer. My confidence in these two things shaped the foundation of who I am today. Even when I was attacked by the shark and lost my arm, I have been able to stay stable in my mind and beliefs.

Today, I’m a wife and mom of two beautiful, healthy boys, and this truth is still the same. The strength, identity, and foundation of my life is in the faith and grace that God has given me. If I were a tree, faith would be my roots. This is how I know that whatever huge life “waves” or gnarly challenges come my way, the Lord is with me and will sustains me through it all. I like to say that because of Him, I am “Unstoppable.”

It’s obvious to even a casual surf fan that your talent with a surfboard is truly world class. Do you ever play the what-could-havebeen game? Or have your hardships made you a better surfer in ways that otherwise might not have been attainable? It’s hard to not think about what level I would be at if I had not lost my arm. I think I would have been world champ without a doubt.

Unstoppable addresses this a bit. While I’ve always been determined and committed to surfing, I think the unique challenges I faced because of losing my arm made me use my brain in a different way, which inspired innovation. I love the life I live and am grateful to God for my family, my surfing, and being able to share my story to encourage others.

Is there pressure with being such an inspiring person? I’d imagine it can occasionally be difficult to navigate the difference between Bethany Hamilton the story and Bethany Hamilton the person. I don’t think about trying to live up to a label. That would be exhausting.

I just live my life in pursuit of what I love

A name synonymous with quality and service.

1 • 1 • 4 to do. Knowing the world, especially young girls, are watching does keep me accountable to being a solid role model, and that’s the type of person I really want to be. Especially with two young boys now, I want to show them a solid foundation. Actions speak louder than words.

The Santa Barbara premiere of Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable is on Sunday, April 14, 2 p.m. at The Arlington Theatre (1317 State St.). Kathy Ireland will host a Q&A with Hamilton following the film.

There is also a VIP after-party on the Arlington patio, complete with music, drinks, and paella by Loquita. All proceeds from the day will go to the Santa Barbara– based nonprofit Wonderfully Made (wonderfullymade.org).

For more info on the film, see bethanyhamilton.com/unstoppable.

To purchase tickets ($30; $25 for kids up to 12 years old; $150 for VIP), contact the Arlington Box Office or go to axs.com.

If you had to boil down all your life wisdom and hard-earned lessons into a punchy sentence or two, what would you share? Oh man, this is too hard, but I’ll give it a shot.

How about, “Forgive and be forgiven. Make the most of what you’ve got and make it fun!”

Staycation

O

n March 5, friends and family came together at Comforts of Home Senior Care in Goleta to celebrate the 102nd birthdays of June Francis and Helen Schrumpf. While the day was gray and rainy, spirits were up in the packed living room of the home. Both Francis and Schrumpf were vibrant and welcoming, chalking up their longevity to “good genes,” they said.

Schrumpf was born on January 30, 1917, in Kansas.

Later on, she met her late husband in high school in Orland, California. Later, after their two daughters were grown up, the couple moved to Ventura to be closer to the girls and their families. Schrumpf ’s daughter Diana Jauchen describes her mother as giving and loving toward both people and animals.

For most of her life, Schrumpf has enjoyed playing the piano, just as her mother before her did. Today, Schrumpf is a member of the Santa Barbara Music Club and, up until about two years ago, could be found playing the organ for weekly services in her retirement home’s church.

Francis was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa, and eventually moved to Burbank to attend school. Afterward, Francis spent 23 years working at Lockheed Aircraft,

but she admits she wasn’t one of those famous female riveters of the time. After her brother and his family relocated to Santa Barbara, she made the move to join them.

Both chalked up their longevity to ‘good genes.’

The year Francis and Schrumpf were born was a monumental one for the United States. It was the year the U.S. declared war on Germany and entered World War I. It was also the year Ella Fitzgerald and John F. Kennedy were born. Since then, Francis and Schrumpf have lived through some profound moments in our society, including two World Wars, women’s suffrage, and 25 presidential elections.

Champion Spellers Invited to State Comp

A

t the Santa Barbara County Spelling Bee last month, four students earned invitations to the statewide competition coming up in May. At the elementary school level, Vieja Valley School 6th grader Aidan Garard (top center) took first place by correctly spelling “cuckoo.” Second place went to Kellogg School 6th grader Keaton Cross (top right) for “coalesce.” Isla Vista School 6th grader Daniel Nickolov (top left) finished in third; his word was “alliance.” As the top-two finishers, Garard and Cross have been invited to the state comp in Stockton on May 13 at the San Joaquin County Office of Education.

In the junior high division, La Colina Junior High School 8th grader Tyler Norman (bottom center) spelled “bailiff ” for the win. Laguna Blanca School 8th grader Emily Donelan (bottom right) took second with “aquiline.” Goleta Valley Junior High 8th grader Shio Chiba (bottom left) rounded out the podium in third; her correctly spelled word was “paradisiacal.” Norman and Donelan advance to the state event in San Rafael on May 6 at Miller Creek Middle School.

pring break, four-day weekends, and summer vacation can be a jigsaw puzzle of moving pieces when kids are in the picture — a Guadalupe dunes scramble to create memories and time away from the norm.

For a long weekend last month, my family’s goal was to visit the snow. We also invited our youngest daughter’s cousin from Ventura, and our other daughter’s 15-year-old friend, who rode the train solo up from Los Angeles under Amtrak’s unaccompanied minors policy.

Since we hadn’t planned our trip well in advance, we quickly discovered that most of the rooms around snowy Big Bear were booked.

So we switched our destination to Sequoia National Park (visitsequoia .com) — 230 miles from Santa Barbara — figuring we could play in the snow and, better yet, see the world’s largest trees, including General Sherman, the giant redwood that measures 275 feet tall, with a base diameter of 36 feet. We booked a room overlooking the Kaweah River.

As the weekend approached, my more practical better half checked the weather. Bad news: The road to the forest of the giants was closed because of snow. Feeling discouraged but not defeated — with our youngest already packed, two days before departure — we changed plans again, aiming for Frazier Park and Mount Pinos, about a two hour drive from home.

The mountains were stunning, with new snow billowy and brightwhite, and the sledding was DIY — just turn off the road and hike a nearby slope. After a few hours of snow play (and a lot of teen self selfies), we checked in to the Holiday Inn (ihg.com) in nearby Lebec, right off the I-5. The rooms were clean, fairly priced, and pet-friendly and include free breakfast. Back in Frazier Park, we had a dinner of tomato soup, specialty burgers, grilled cheese, and in-house root beer at Black Coffee Draft House (blackcoffeedrafthouse.com). Highly recommended and a nice warm way to end the day.

It was snowing in Lebec the next morning as we set out west on Highway 166, a long and empty route surrounded by citrus orchards.

Through a brief hailstorm we took the road into Carrizo Plain National Monument (blm.gov/visit/carrizo-plain-national-monument) until it turned into a dirt washboard and did some drive-by birdwatching before resuming our westward mission.

We emerged from snow and cold rain through the wide-open Cuyama Valley, heading toward the Pacific Ocean at GuadalupeNipomo Dunes (dunescenter.org), dunescenter.org), about a two-hour drive from our dunescenter.org morning snow. We parked at the California State Park entrance at the end of Oso Flaco Lake Road and walked in, crossing the reedlined lake on a long wooden footbridge and greeted by the ocean with bright-blue skies, moving clouds, and 30-knot winds. It’s a wild coast — just 70 miles from downtown Santa Barbara — and well worth the trip.

From snow to sand, we had overcome a few obstacles and made a sweet adventure with many inspiring surprises — all in our own backyard.

Remembering

Friday Hampton A Letter from an Urgent Care Doctor

F

riday Hampton, who cofounded the Peace of Wisdom Ministries in Santa Barbara, died late last year from complications associated with multiple sclerosis, a disease of the nervous system that he battled for 20 years. As his MS symptoms worsened, he checked in to urgent care more frequently at Sansum Clinic, where one of his longtime doctors, Tom Anderson, had become a friend to him and his wife, Gwendolyn Hampton. Anderson liked to call Gwendolyn Dr. G, and the day after Friday’s memorial service, he wrote her this letter.

by Dr. Tom Anderson

Dear Dr. G,

I was so very touched by the memorial service for Friday.

I was able to learn a lot about the man whom I only knew from times I would see him in urgent care. Everyone had such kind, wonderful memories about him, and I was very glad that they all remembered you and what an amazing and loyal wife and friend you were to him for the many years that MS was continuously devastating his body — how courageous you were in providing care and comfort for him during the times he was in such agonizing neuropathic pain.

I wanted to say a few words about Friday and you [at the memorial] but felt that the people who shared their memories [had] collectively painted a very clear and poignant picture of this wonderful man. Had I not felt that my standing up to speak might have seemed a little intrusive, I would have shared these words: Calm, kind, gentle, slow to anger and quick to forgive, intelligent, bold, a true difference-maker in this troubled world, and an inspiration, role model, and mentor to those who had the privilege and joy of knowing him — these are some of the ways in which Friday was described by family and friends, old and new.

I loved to see Friday smile. He had such a genuine and warm way of letting you know that he liked you, even when he didn’t know you well. My nurses especially remember him this way. He was not judgmental, and though he grew up in the Deep South, where he was witness to untold atrocities and prejudice, his was a spirit of love and acceptance, not of bitterness and resentment.

About two years ago, Friday’s wife, Gwendolyn, brought Friday to urgent care to see me. I had known about his MS since about 2000 and that he had to be watched very carefully because his legs were no longer reliable. He had had several falls with various injuries.

What I didn’t appreciate, however, was that the worst part of his MS was the neuropathic pain he would experience multiple times each day, a burning, agonizing pain involving his right side, causing him to shake violently and grip tightly to anything nearby. He was in the throes of one of these “fits” on that particular day, unable to even speak because the pain was so severe.

Over the past 42-plus years of medical practice, includ-

ing emergency medicine, I have seen people in pain many, many times. But I have to say that his level of pain was different, a pain so intense that the first thing I could think of was getting some morphine or Dilaudid IV immediately, something to relieve his suffering.

Dr. G was very calm and reassuring to Friday and me during this very scary visit, explaining to me that she helped him through these painful bouts many times each day, and that they always go away before any pain medication could be given. I observed this horrific yet transient pain, and before we could get the pain meds for him, Friday slowly started coming out of this “fit,” much to my relief. I observed him for another 60 minutes or so, and he eventually returned to his baseline. Friday had seen many specialists both at Sansum DR. G: The compassionate care Friday Hampton (right) received from his wife, Gwendolyn and in Los Angeles, and all of Hampton (left), earned her the nickname Dr. G from one of Friday’s longtime doctors. the different medications and combinations of medications couldn’t control these horrible pain attacks. remember, a single word: Jesus.

What I remember so vividly about that day was how In every interaction I had with Friday, I saw Jesus. I gracious and matter-of-fact both Friday and Dr. G were saw Jesus in his gentleness and courage. I saw Jesus in his during and following the ordeal. There were no pleas for decision to be a part of the early days of the civil rights addicting narcotics. No anger or bitterness for the neu- movement in the Deep South — Friday could have withrologists involved in his care. Just a thanksgiving when his drawn, even hid, but he chose to place himself in potential pain cycle finally broke, courtesy, smiles, love. What I had harm’s way to help bring about change, to speak words that witnessed for only 15 or 20 minutes — a feeling of help- needed to be spoken, and to stand tall and firm against lessness in not being able to immediately relieve Friday’s bigotry and hatred. And I saw Jesus in his pain and sufpain — was occurring multiple times daily, interrupting fering, how he handled this with such dignity and without his and Dr. G’s sleep frequently (the bed literally would complaint, calmly, and reassured by the presence of his shake until the pain remitted) and changing the quality amazing wife, Gwendolyn, who has all of the same qualiof life that both Friday and Gwendolyn had enjoyed for ties of character as her husband. so many years.

Yes, Dr. G, all of us who know and love you see Jesus I was so blown away by the courage displayed by this in you, as well, in how you choose to live your life, in your amazing couple, their trust and faith in God, which clearly love for the poor and downtrodden, in your commitment helped sustain them through so much pain and adversity to making a difference in this community and beyond, for so long. And I was in such awe of Dr. G for her standing and in your kindness, generosity, and truly amazing grace. alongside this wonderful man, caring and comforting him May God bless and surround you with his loving arms, as he bravely dealt with such a devastating disease as MS.

psychedelic superbloom of wildflowers has carpeted Southern California hillsides, thanks to years of drought and fire giving way to steady record-setting rain. Native seeds that sat dormant in the soil for years have burst to life in a vivid display that’s attracted groups of Instagram-happy visitors to places like Walker Canyon in Lake Elsinore all the way up to the Carrizo Plain in San Luis Obispo County.

With the crowds, though, have come traffic jams, park closures, and firm reminders about the right way to appreciate nature. Luckily, we here in Santa Barbara don’t have the same congestion issues, and we don’t have to go far to enjoy the show. Let’s keep it that way, rangers ask — stay on trails, keep dogs leashed, don’t block the road, don’t pick the flowers, and don’t collect seeds. And if you haven’t had a chance to catch a glimpse, don’t panic. The flowers should continue blooming for the next several weeks.

Grass Mountain, which sits close to Figueroa Mountain in the Santa Ynez Valley, is now painted thick with poppies and lupine. Near the base, shiny but-

OUT OF THE ASHES: Certain wildflowers, called “fire-followers,” only bloom after a big fire.

Large-flowered phacelia

tercups, milkmaids, and fiddlenecks are in bloom. A little ways up are shooting stars, popcorn flowers, and Johnny jump-ups.

All over are fields of ceanothus that look like sprinklings of snow. That’s according to the observations of Helen Tarbet, a Los Padres National Forest ranger who this time of year publishes her biweekly Figueroa Wildflower Update newsletter.

Email Tarbet at htarbet@fs.fed.us to get on her list.

Chocolate lilies and goldfields can be found at Vista Point, while Sunset Valley — normally slow to blossom — is already awash in tufted yellow California poppies. Happy Canyon is just getting started with large orange poppies, blue dicks, and coreopsis. “The aromatic lupine scent is not filling the air yet,” Tarbet said, “but I have a feeling that it will soon.” The region’s last big bloom happened in 2017, and this year is shaping up to be even more spectacular.

Now is also the perfect opportunity to look for more uncommon species and “fire-followers,” said Dr. Heather Schneider, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s rare plant biologist. There are approximately 2,000 kinds of native plants in Santa Barbara County; about 200 are considered rare. “Many of California’s annual plants can exist as seeds in the soil for decades, waiting for the right conditions to germinate,” said Schneider. “The combination of recent burns and wet conditions gives us the chance to see things that we haven’t seen for a long time.”

These more ephemeral blooms include the late-flowered mariposa lily, Catalina mariposa lily, pale yellow tidytips, Humboldt lily, and Santa Ynez false lupine. Schneider said she recently spied a collection of Humboldt lilies in the creek area of the Jesusita Trail as well as a number of late-flowered lilies — an exceptionally beautiful and charismatic flower native only to Santa Barbara and Ventura counties — along the Tunnel Trail. “All front country trails have the potential to have really nice blooms this year,” said Schneider.

Fire-followers, like the fire poppy, large-flowered phacelia, and golden eardrops, appear in burn scars after the heat either cracks open their seed casings or creates the necessary soil chemistry for germination. “We only get to see these for a few

Late-flowered mariposa lily

CATCH ‘EM WHILE YOU CAN: These three species are especially rare and a treat to find.

Pale yellow tidytips years, then they get crowded out and exist as seeds until the next fire,” said Schneider. Short-lobed phacelias are already coming up really well in the Thomas and Whittier scars, she said.

Sometime this spring, the Botanic Garden will host a rare plant treasure hunt. Check the website — sbbg.org — in the next few weeks for details. On March 31, the Garden is hosting a day trip to the west end of Santa Cruz Island to look for checker blooms, Santa Cruz Island liveforevers, and San Miguel locoweed. In the meantime, Schneider recommended downloading the iNaturalist app on your smartphone to record and share observations with researchers all over the country. But with the color also comes favorable conditions for invasive species. “It’s a mixed bag,” Schneider remarked.

Nonnative mustards and prolific European grasses can wreak havoc, and it’s a good opportunity to revisit conversations about management.

Maybe the most excited for the superbloom are the pollinators. The Central Coast has been absolutely “inundated” with painted lady butterflies, said Schneider, and just the other day the air was thick with swallowtail butterflies above Humboldt lilies on the Romero Canyon Trail.

McCONNELL’S FINE ICE CREAMS

Irvin Ungar Arthur Szyk: Soldier in Art Arthur Szyk often said “Art is not my aim, it is my means.” Yet, his contemporaries praised him as the greatest illuminator-artist since the 16th century. He saw himself as a fighting artist, enlisting his pen and paintbrush as his weapons against hatred, racism, and oppression before, during, and after World War II. As the leading anti-Nazi artist in America during the War, Szyk also created the important and widely circulated art for the rescue of European Jewry. His Passover Haggadah has been acclaimed as “worthy of being considered as one of the most beautiful books ever produced by the hand of man.” In this talk, Irvin Ungar will expose the viewer to the breadth and depth of the power, purpose, and persuasion of the great artist and the great man, Arthur Szyk.

EDIBLE UCSB: Once operational, this student farm will provide healthy food access for thousands of UCSB students who frequent the Associated Students Food Bank.

TOP DOG: After starting off as a one-man operation serving from a food cart on Milpas Street, Dave’s Dogs Grill owner Dave Reynoso now sells a slew of unique creations at his brick-and-mortar location on Turnpike Road across from San Marcos High.

David Reynoso Serves Creative Hot Dogs on Turnpike Road

BY TAYLOR SALMONS

estled in the corner of a shop-

ping center on Turnpike Road in Goleta, Dave’s Dogs Grill wafts out the scent of mouthwatering hot dogs as San Marcos High School students file in after a long day of classes. Hot dog visionary David Reynoso claims regulars like these keep him inspired to create new menu items nearly each week. “I can make someone happy by feeding them something so traditional,” says Reynoso, beaming during a break in his 14-hour day.

Reynoso’s become accustomed to running the business side of Dave’s Dogs as a one-man operation. It was less than four years ago that the Santa Barbaran noticed a lack of hot dog options in the community and set out to sell specialty dogs out of a cart on Milpas Street. “I wanted to change the game on the hot dog concept,” Reynoso explained. With just an umbrella, a small sign, and one hot dog on the menu, he was nervous. “The first night I sold less than 10 dogs,” he recalls.

Soon enough, though, word spread about Dave’s decadent dog creations, topped with bacon, grilled onions, tomatoes, mayo, mustard, ketchup, and cream sauce, and people started coming from all over to taste Dave’s twists on a barbeque classic. In no time, the parking-lot salesman was moving upward of 50 hot

dogs a night, and by 2017, the cart simply couldn’t handle the volume of lunchhour orders.

So Reynoso moved Dave’s Dogs to a brick-and-mortar location on Turnpike Road across from San Marcos High, and his regulars followed him. The larger location allowed the menu to expand to more than 20 richly unique dogs with various toppings, including barbeque sauce, chili, mozzarella cheese, and spicy mayo. Reynoso also added a veggie dog option and sides like wings, fries, corn, and tater tots.

One day, the entrepreneur hopes to return to the parking lot off of Milpas to open an additional location.

DAVE’S

Santa Barbara Style:

The release of this dog caused “things to really take off,” Reynoso recalled. With bacon, grilled onions, tomatoes, mayo, ketchup, cream sauce, avocado, cilantro, and mustard, this even more colorful version of Reynoso’s original Dave’s Style Dog became Instagram-worthy from the start. “I noticed people taking pictures … and it spread like wildfire.” $5.50 Pizza Dog: Covered in pizza sauce and

sprinkled in parmesan cheese, the Pizza Dog is one of the most popular menu items, according to Reynoso. “It’s just so different than anything else we have,” he explained. Lightly toasted mozzarella

This garden is coming to life. We’re excited to come back and see what happens this summer and see it continue to grow.”

Edible Campus Cont’d from p. 85

Trees take about five years to produce large harvests, so it will still be some time before the campus sees substantial yields. The project is managed by the Associated Students Department of Public Worms, who have welcomed volunteers from Associated Students, the UCSB student body, Isla Vista, Circle K, and the Greek system.

More than 60 people showed up to plant seeds and work the garden beds on March 17. Once the farm is fully established and combined with two other campus farms—potted orange trees at Storke Plaza and a tower garden near the Rec Cen — the AS Food Bank should receive double the amount of fruits and vegetables per year that it usually gets—that’s an additional 25,000 pounds.

Computer science students have also joined the operation. They’ve helped the farm install new meters and weather stations, as well as manage their irrigation system. “What we’re more

excited about is the opportunity that the computer science students can come out and spend time on a farm, work with the client, and have the opportunity to see how their technology and software is supporting folks in the farm space,” said Maynard. “So it’s a beautiful interdisciplinary teaching as well.”

Pretty soon, students and community members will be able to visit the farm, which is on West Campus next to the Orfalea Family Children’s Center, and learn about where their food comes from. They can even pick up a shovel and start helping. Altogether, while this farm will be feeding UCSB students, it offers endless opportunities for the public to reconnect with the land and make empowered decisions about their diets.

GILLIES ON AMERICAN IDOL

L I F E COURTESY UCSB ARTS & LECTURES

PAGE 91

SANTA BARBARA SINGER GETS GOLDEN TICKET

The first three episodes of Idol have each been viewed by at least seven million people. What are your thoughts on having that sort of exposure? It’s crazy. I’ve heard those numbers and have never been able to wrap my head around the amount of people who are going to see me. I’m so unbelievably grateful and thankful that I get to have this opportunity.

Can you tell me anything about the audition?

What is the waiting like? Did you interact with the other musicians? I did definitely get to hang out with some other people. As much as I am a singer or songwriter, I’m very much a musician and a guitar player. There were definitely some jam sessions that happened.

I immediately became friends with this guy who I had actually seen on Instagram making guitar videos. We did blues in E for like 20 minutes. When you’re a musician, you can do that for hours.

The contestants were all really nice.

There wasn’t a single person I met who wasn’t really uplifting. This generation is realizing when you give love you get it back, especially in a time when music is so crazy and it’s hard to be an artist. It was really great to see.

Was there one judge that you were particularly excited or nervous to sing in front of? I have individual compartmentalized respect for each one. Lionel Richie has made so much unbelievable, timeless music and worked with so many artists; Katy Perry is a legend; and Luke Bryan is like the biggest name in country music. It was hard to wrap my head around this whole experience, but Katy Perry was really big and someone I’ve met before.

Has going on American Idol always been a goal for you? It was something I was not quite seeing in my future. People always said I should try out, but I try to be really hyperaware of where I am with my music. The word “perspective” keeps popping up in a lot of interviews that I’ve been doing. It shapes the music you will make and how your message is being put out. I always thought I’m not really ready for that exposure. If I did Idol, I’d not want to be a flash in the pan. I’d want to be an artist, someone that will stick with you and stay in your library and you can watch grow over time. I feel like that moment is now. I’m really honing in on my songwriting and my craft, and I’m ready to be an artist for people.

Other than Idol Idol, what have you been up to? I’m working on a new single. I’m back in the studio, producing in Ojai with Jesse Siebenberg, who I worked with on my last song, “Miss Me Too.” He played pedal steel on most of the A Star Is Born soundtrack and was actually in the band in the movie. He’s great to work with.

Who are your musical heroes and role models for your career? Well, I started with the early stuff: ’60s and ’70s with Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Neil Young, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash. I love that music to death, and I think it’s timeless. It was true to people’s souls, so I think it will last forever.

What I’m really going for is the blend with that and popular music, and that’s where I look up to John Mayer. He is a huge influence for me because he did that. He said in an interview he wants his music to be pop with the expressiveness and freedom of jazz. I add to that and say I want pop with that as well as with the grit of the blues and the genuine lyricism of folk music that makes you cry and laugh and drive your car really fast with the — Daniel Carroll windows down.

KEHINDE WILEY INSTALLATION

T

he Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s Grand Stairwell has become a canvas, serving as an installation space during the renovation since August 2018. Currently adorning the wall is a piece by Kehinde Wiley, who is known for painting President Obama’s portrait, called “Equestrian Portrait of Prince Tommaso of Savoy-Carignan.”

It’s from the artist’s Rumors of War series, which was “inspired

by the history of equestrian portraiture,” according to Wiley’s website, and at nine feet tall, the piece plays to the artist’s “interest in the aestheticization of power and masculinity.”

Wiley’s “Prince Tommaso of Savoy-Carignan” is part of the museum’s Park Project, which aims to show installations by cutting-edge contemporary artists.

ineteen-year-old singer/songwriter Jackson Gillies is no stranger to big stages. He won Teen Star in 2016. He’s performed with Katy Perry at the One805 Kick Ash Bash Thomas Fire and Montecito mudslide fundraiser. He even has a TED Talk about his rarely talked-about autoinflammatory disease, hidradenitis-suppurativa, which has been viewed by 78,000 people. Last week, that stage became much bigger, however, when Gillies auditioned for ABC’s American Idol reboot in front of judges Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Katy Perry. I caught up with Gillies over the phone ahead of his televised audition.

U.K .’S UKE ORCHESTRA

Don’t let them fool you. It ain’t as easy as it looks. But it’s definitely as fun.

The ukulele is often billed as a good beginner’s instrument, easy to pick up and pluck, less intimidating than a guitar, and a lot more transportable than a piano. And while that may be accurate — learn a few chords and you can eke out some simple songs — to get really good requires serious time and discipline.

George Hinchliffe’s Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain merges both truisms into a rambunctiously fun show of crowd-pleasers and musical mastery. They return to Santa Barbara this week with their signature singing and banter as they play through a repertoire that hits all sides of a radio dial, from Tchaikovsky to Nirvana to Otis Redding. Also listen to riffs on electronic dance music (EDM) and tunes from spaghetti westerns.

Founded in 1985, the Ukulele Orchestra’s current lineup has been performing together for more than 20 years, delivering standing-room-only concerts around the world. They’ve played at Sydney Opera House, Carnegie Hall, and the Queen’s 90th birthday, all without drums, backup tracks, or any electronic trickery. Their latest studio album, By Request: Songs from the Set-List Set-List, features tunes most requested by fans.

UCSB’s Arts & Lectures presents George Hinchliffe’s Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain on Thursday, April 4, 8 p.m. at UCSB’s Campbell Hall. Call 893-3535 or see artsandlectures.ucsb.edu .

WEYES BLOOD RISING: Weyes Blood has a unique way of peering into the future and the past, both musically and stylistically. On Wednesday, April 3, the L.A. resident, a k a Natalie Mering, will return to Santa Barbara with a concert at Velvet Jones (423 State St.) in her first performance here since Weyes Blood’s Titanic last playing with Father Rising John Misty. The tones of her new album, Titanic Rising, find root in ’60s and ’70s folk rock and ’80s new age; her lyrics portray our present-day post-apocalyptic future.

“Mostly it’s about a lack of dominion over nature, the Titanic being the most symbolic tragedy for man’s hubris,” she said in a phone interview. “But instead of dealing with one singular tragic event, we’re dealing with this mass kind of rising of climate change. The whole parable is symbolic. What’s happening now is what’s happening then, just on a bigger, grander scale.”

On the cover of Titanic Rising, Mering floats in a submerged bedroom. In a way, she has maybe always been a bit nautical by nature.

Growing up, “I had recurring dreams that I was on a sinking ship, saving people, even before the movie,” she said. If aboard the fated Titanic in a past life, “I’d be saving people, saving babies. I tend to panic and fear on a low-grade level every day, but when something really disastrous happens, I kick into super high gear; a kind of transcendent, save-everybody mind-set.”

Musically, and emotionally, she’s taking more risks. “It’s a bigger palette with bigger colors and bolder moves. I’m caring less what people [think],” she said. In recording the new album, “I tried to do everything I’ve always dreamt of doing.” Things like symphonic strings and “reel-to-reel tape, so it’s a couple generations removed from the original sound, to just kind of obscure things.”

Like her dexterously dreamy sound, her music’s taken on strange resemblances and re-assemblies of yesterday’s yearnings in other ways. As a child, her family took her to The Arlington Theatre, where she remembers “the little villas, wondering, ‘Who lives up there?’ As an adult, I thought that was a dream.” Years later, she “opened up for Father John Misty and stepped out onstage. It was magic — holy shit, that wasn’t a dream, it was real, I was here, and that was a real place.”

Creatively, she’s now making a more individual statement. “I’m trying to appeal to my idols, people I looked up to, and trying to be a part of that lineage. It’s time to let go and be inspired by Kate Bush and Enya and fierce powerful women that don’t seem to be answering to men.”

“I kind of could see where there was masculine influence, either in the studio, or in my life in the past, that have kind of prevented me to have the confidence to have exactly what I wanted to do,” she added.

“I come from a family with two older brothers I’ve really looked up to, and I always wanted to belong to a pocket of musicians that can nod and agree something was good, to feel that kind of community.

Deferring to men’s opinions as a young woman had been a weird safety net.”

Now she’s steering her own ship and forging ahead into our uncertain climate future, beautiful songs in tow. The show is at 8 p.m.

PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA

A

favorite of Santa Barbara audiences during his 17 years as the music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, maestro Esa-Pekka Salonen made a triumphant return to the Granada last Wednesday at the head of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra.

The program, which featured works by Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Bruckner, proved an ideal platform to showcase the Philharmonia’s lush sound, crisp articulation, and, particularly in the Bruckner, its massive power.

Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4, is the composer’s best-known Presented by work, and, along with CAMA. At the Granada Theatre, Stravinsky’s Rite of Wed., Mar. 20.

Spring, is among the most widely lauded avant-garde compositions of the 20th century. Inspired by a poem that defied bourgeois sexual mores, the work describes an eerie and unsettling arc as it drifts from D Minor to D Major. Under Salonen, the Philharmonia’s strings turned the forbidding nocturnal strangeness of the piece into a mesmerizing, oceanic experience of the range and colors of their instruments.

For Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7 in E Major, the focus pivoted from the strings to the brass, in particular the tubas. A section of special “Wagner” tubas plays a key role in the stun-

ning crescendos that erupt throughout this sensational symphony. The Philharmonia musicians are without peer when it comes to deploying the full range of techniques and instruments available to them, up to and including having the principal tuba player switch seats for different passages. The sheer volume that makes Bruckner’s Seventh such an unforgettable live experience was enhanced by the supreme precision and control with which these players handled every detail. The Philharmonia Orchestra received a raucous standing ovation for what was unquestionably one of the most intense performances of the season.

he dark farce may be the trickiest type of play to pull off. Hitting the right note of amusingly absurdist anarchy while eliciting laughs from the darkest corner of human existence is a huge challenge—one the Rubicon Theatre Company’s new production of Fuddy Meers only occasionally meets.

Now 20 years old, the play was the first success of David LindAt the Rubicon say-Abaire, who would Theatre, Wed., go on to write the natuMar. 20. Shows ralistic dramas Rabbit through Mar. 31.

Hole and Good People.

The plot centers on a woman (Precious Chong) with a strange form of amnesia: She awakens every morning with her memory wiped clean. When a man who calls himself her brother whisks her away to visit their mother, it sets into motion a complex plot involving escaped

convicts, including one who can only truly speak through a foul-mothed hand puppet.

It’s a deliberately cartoonish piece that contains more violence than a typical Road Runner short, including onstage stabbings and brawls, and a detailed description of a gruesome assault featuring hot bacon grease.

The point seems to be that people who can’t communicate — and almost every character is hampered in that ability for one reason or another— lash out at each other, physically another or otherwise. An accurate observation, but is it funny? In this production, only sporadically. Perhaps the play hasn’t dated well; perhaps this is a mismatch between director and material. Jenny Sullivan is one of the best, but her pacing seems awfully slow for a farce.

Jim Prodger’s set design, however, perfectly captures the work’s darkly whimsical tone.

FALLING STAR: A decade after Michael Jackson’s death, Dan Reed’s Leaving Neverland upends the singer’s legacy anew. Obtaining new traction because of the #MeToo movement, two accusers — James Safechuck and Wade Robson — both of whom are now fully grown adult males, tell their stories.

LEAVING NEVERLAND

I

n 1984, when Ronald Reagan awarded Michael Jackson the Presidential Public Safety Commendation for allowing “Beat It” to be used in an anti-drunk-driving campaign, the president famously remarked, “Your success is an American dream come true.” At the time, this would have appeared to no one as an exaggeration. Everyone knows the inspirational story: The eighth child in a working-class family from Gary, Indiana, Jackson transcended physical and emotional abuse from his manager/father to become the child prodigy at the center of the Jackson Five. This early, earned success laid the groundwork for Jackson’s rise to become the King of Pop. Michael Jackson is by far the most prominent AfricanAmerican “crossover artist” in history. Thriller remains the best-selling album of all time, and Jackson’s cultural significance transcends race and genre in ways that few other artists have ever achieved. The star is profoundly entangled in the history of American popular music and culture since the 1960s. If you want to explain how Elvis, James Brown, and Diana Ross are connected to NSYNC, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga, you can’t do it without Michael Jackson.

The power of this remarkable narrative is why the allegations of child molestation and abuse perpetrated by Jackson, which began to emerge in the early 1990s, have always been met with popular disbelief, not to mention fierce resistance from Jackson and his estate. Jackson survived two separate rounds of highly publicized allegations. The first ended out of court in 1994 in a massive $23,000,000 settlement. The second went to trial in Santa Barbara County Superior Court in Santa Maria, but ended in an acquittal in 2005, much to the delight of Jackson “Believers” who saw the star himself as the persecuted victim for his eccentricity.

When Jackson died from a propofol overdose in June 2009, despite persistent suspicions about abuse, his premature death was treated as a national tragedy. Jackson’s fans and musical colleagues mourned him in an elaborate memorial at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where vocal expressions of the presumption “innocent until proven guilty” ensconced the departed superstar as he lay in his gold-plated casket.

Now, a decade later, Dan Reed’s HBO documentary Leaving Neverland upends Jackson’s legacy anew. The two-part, four-hour documentary, which has already stirred considerable controversy, delivers a devastating and probably fatal blow to Jackson’s reputation. Obtaining new traction because of the #MeToo movement, in Leaving Neverland, two accus-

ers, both of whom are now fully grown adult males, tell their stories in graphic detail. One is a new figure in the public Jackson story, James Safechuck. The other, Wade Robson, testified publicly at the trial and is famous in his own right as the former lead choreographer of NSYNC.

DOCUMENTARY STIRS CONTROVERSY,

DELIVERS BLOW TO

MICHAEL JACKSON’S

REPUTATION

by Kevin C. Moore

Although both men appear throughout the documentary along with their families, Safechuck’s experience is foregrounded in the documentary’s first half. As a child, Safechuck took part in a popular Pepsi commercial, and Jackson brought the boy onstage during the “Bad” tour, where Safechuck dazzled audiences with his moonwalk.

According to Safechuck and his mother, Jackson then pursued Safechuck, frequently visiting their family home in suburban Los Angeles. He took the boy and his family on vacation, and he even claimed to purchase the Neverland Ranch for Safechuck. Although Safechuck previously denied that Jackson had abused him, he began to face this dark past in the years following Jackson’s death. Forty minutes into the documentary, the graphic details of the physical relationship emerge, including a disturbing sequence in which Safechuck recounts all the specific places at Neverland where Jackson abused him. In another scene, Safechuck tries to put on one of the gold rings Jackson purchased for him as a child and

trembles visibly when it doesn’t fit onto his adult finger.

Although Leaving Neverland surely warrants a content warning for survivors of abuse, its power also emerges from a complex depiction of how the experience of childhood sexual abuse often plays out. Both Safechuck and Robson, as well as their respective mothers, Stephanie and Joy, who have large roles in the documentary, describe what it felt like to be under Jackson’s spell. Both men express their own attraction to Jackson’s attention and affection, even as they simultaneously felt uneasy with the various acts Jackson forced then to perform. Like so many #MeToo exposés, Leaving Neverland makes its most compelling case by illustrating a calculated pattern. The film also shows how much of the shame of sexual abuse comes from the victim’s perception that they have participated in a predator’s plan.

The second half of the documentary, which moves the narrative ahead in time to Jackson’s trial and death, foregrounds Robson’s experience. This is the installment of Leaving Neverland that may leave the audience with unanswered questions regarding the documentary’s ultimate agenda. Some viewers may be familiar with Robson’s career as a noted choreographer and director, as well as his previous testimony alongside Macaulay Culkin absolving Jackson from wrongdoing in the mid-2000s trial. But one suspects that most people who watch Leaving Neverland will encounter him here as a newly identified victim speaking out for the first time. This is a perception the film appears to capitalize upon. There are occasional moments when the film appears to go out of its way to defend Robson for what apparently was perjury, when he claimed during the trial that no abuse took place.

Did Robson and Culkin, both of whom already occupied positions of considerable success and influence when they first had an opportunity to speak out, throw their fellow survivors under the bus? Perhaps. Yet this possibility, too, is part of what makes Leaving Neverland so powerful: its frank depiction of denial when power enters the picture. Like Safechuck, Robson appears to display legitimate psychological turmoil when forced to face his memories of Jackson. Yet the documentary also suggests that Robson’s reticence has at least something to do with his simultaneous shame at having benefited professionally from his association with his abuser: an all-too-familiar paradox in the context of #MeToo. Throughout Leaving Neverland, as Safechuck and Robson and their families tell their unsettling stories, there are frequent, spiraling aerial shots of the Southern California landscapes on which the years of abuse unfolded. Jackson’s lavish homes in Encino, Westwood, and Santa Ynez contrast sharply with the mediocrity of Safechuck’s suburban street and Robson’s humble apartment dwellings in L.A. (Robson, his mother, and his sister moved to the U.S. from Australia for his career, and they struggled financially for some time). At times, the viewer may wonder if the production found itself short on B-roll footage. Yet the images of Southern California accumulate to serve as a reminder that the home of the entertainment industry is itself a Neverland, where dreams of fame and power too often come at a bitter price. Powerful men abusing their positions have faced a legitimate reckoning in the #MeToo movement, and the Jackson story certainly fits this narrative. Yet the Jackson case also poses more complex questions insofar as it intersects with the star’s racial identity, as well as with the content of his art, which moved millions.

We can probably never listen to the lyrics of “Human Nature” again without cringing. Yet if we wonder how a song that once seemed so emancipated from sexual prurience now feels like a disturbing confession, the bigger question may be an introspective one for consumers of American popular culture. Leaving Neverland prompts the viewer to do this sort of double-take, especially given that it focuses on the struggles of two straight, successful white men putting the most successful black entertainer of all time on public trial, and not in a court of law. This is not to doubt their claims, which are brave. But it would be a grave mistake not to put those claims in context. What Leaving Neverland ultimately teaches us is that the same person, over the course of a lifetime, can be a success, a victim, and a perpetrator, which seems to be the case with Jackson. Abuse and its aftermath will always lurk in American dreamscapes, especially where vast power imbaln ances continue to flourish unchecked.

In Icelandic director Benedikt Erlingsson’s fascinating, layered, and agreeably quirky film, the “woman” in question (Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir) is an environmentally conscience-stricken and driven choir director. Her “wars” of note involve her extreme personal response to threats of industrialization and ecological disaster, and efforts to adopt a war-afflicted Ukrainian girl. An empathetic eco-activist, she sabotages power grids and distributes a manifesto warning “we are the last generation that can stop the assault against our Earth.” What might be only a tense and/or sobering premise finds its load lightened by dry Icelandic humor and inventive, Kaurismaki-ish narrative twists. For example, musicians producing the beguiling folksy Icelandic score — a tuba/drums/accordion trio and traditionally dressed female folk singers — regularly show up in the scenes like a Greek chorus coloring a climatechange-era fable of looming doom and anti-heroism.

FORMER GAUCHO ASCENDS TO BASEBALL’S TOP RANKS

CINDERELLA STORY: Pictured here pitching for the Cleveland Indians in last week’s spring training game against the Dodgers, former UCSB pitcher Shane Bieber wasn’t even guaranteed a spot on UCSB’s team when he arrived as a freshman. By his junior year, however, he had developed into one of the best pitchers in college baseball and led the Gauchos to the first College World Series berth in school history.

JOHN DVORAK

Shane Bieber Takes the Mound for the Indians Next Week

W

hen former UCSB Gaucho Shane Bieber takes the mound for the Cleveland Indians next week, he’ll do so as one of the most promising young pitchers in Major League Baseball.

It’s a remarkable success story considering that when he arrived at UCSB as a freshman less than six years ago, the lanky right-hander

by JOHN wasn’t even guaranteed a spot on the team.

“I came in really underweight and really [having] a tough shot at making the team, so I had to learn a lot really quickly,” Bieber recalled after a recent Spring Training appearance against the Dodgers in Arizona.

As a junior at Laguna Hills High School, Bieber was only reaching the mid-80s on the radar gun and didn’t attract much interest from Division 1 programs. But the UCSB coaching staff saw potential.

“He threw so many strikes and the command was so good that we wanted to get him into the program,” said Gauchos head coach Andrew Checketts.

Without any scholarship money remaining at the time, Checketts could only offer him a place as a recruited walk-on.

Needless to say, it worked out pretty nicely.

By his sophomore year, Bieber had upped his velocity and secured a scholarship and a starting role. By his junior year, Bieber had developed into one of the best pitchers in college baseball and led the Gauchos to the first College World Series berth in school history. During his sophomore and junior years at UCSB, Bieber held a 2.54 ERA over 247 1/3 innings pitched.

The results caught the attention of Cleveland, which selected Bieber in the fourth round of the 2016 draft. A rapid ascension through the minor leagues followed, culminating with his MLB debut last season on his 23rd birthday.

At the end of the season he finished his rookie campaign with 118 strikeouts in 114 innings and an 11-5 record. His walk rate was 13th among pitchers with at least 110 innings pitched.

“His command is special,” Checketts said. “He was the guy that you can blindfold and spin around three times and he’d still throw strikes.”

The performance earned Bieber a spot in a rotation that

many consider the best in baseball, featuring Cy Young winner Corey Kluber, all-stars Carlos Carrasco and Trevor Bauer, and Mike Clevinger.

Bieber says he’s been working on his changeup during spring training to use with his fastball, curve, and slider.

“It’s something that I’m excited to be DVORAK able to use more this year,” Bieber said. “It’s playing a little better than it has in the past, so just being able to use it in different situations will be big.”

If spring training is any indication, the expanded pitch mix is working. In 24 innings, Bieber has 29 strikeouts with an ERA of 2.25 and WHIP of 0.75. Bieber’s next start will be his season debut on Wednesday, April 3, against the White Sox. “I’m still figuring some stuff out but getting better as the spring goes on and games go on. Happy with where I’m at right now mov moving forward,” he said.

Bieber has kept Santa Barbara close since getting drafted. He spent this winter training in Summerland with former teammates JJ Muno, Kyle Nelson, and Alex Garcia. “(We) had a really good setup,” Bieber said. “Obviously it’s a tough place to leave. It’s an amazing place during the offseason.”

Now that he’s back to work, he follows the Gauchos through social media. Their recent 12-game win streak and top-10 RPI

JOHN ZANT’S GAME OF THE WEEK

4/2: College Baseball: USC at UCSB With a 17-3 record and a rising status in the national polls, UCSB enters Big West Conference play this weekend, traveling to face perennial power Cal State Fullerton. The next chance to catch the Gauchos at home will be Tuesday afternoon, when they go for a season sweep of Pac-12 rival USC. They defeated the Trojans 2-1 at Dedeaux Field earlier in the season behind the strong pitching of junior lefthander Jack Dashwood, who has since joined UCSB’s weekend rotation. As a team, the Gauchos have a .280 batting average and 3.22 earned-run average. Junior catcher Eric Yang is hitting .417, while outfielders Armani Smith (6 HR) and Tommy Jew (5 HR) are both piling up the extra-base hits.

brought a smile to his face.

“A couple years ago when I first got drafted, you’re still in touch with a lot of guys, but as the younger crop comes in, I’m not as well in touch … so I just follow them on social media and pull for them behind the scenes,” Bieber said.

Besides Bieber, there was a slew of Santa Barbara–connected athletes competing in spring training.

Zack Zehner, who played a year at Santa Barbara City College before transferring to Cal Poly, has batted .385 in Spring Training with the Yankees and is on the verge of his Major-League debut.

Nelson, Bieber’s aforementioned offseason roommate, is also in the Indians organization and had a strong summer last year in the minors. The pitcher projects to start the year at the Single-A level.

Andrew Vasquez, who completed a local trifecta by playing for the Gauchos, the Westmont Warriors, and the Santa Barbara Foresters, made his major-league debut last summer with the Minnesota Twins as a reliever. The 25-year-old southpaw threw five scoreless innings this spring but was optioned to Triple-A, where he’ll wait for a midseason call-up.

Other Gauchos who could make MLB appearances this season are al pitchers: Trevor Bettencourt (Philadelphia Phillies), Dillon Tate (Baltimore Orioles), and Greg Mahle (Los Angeles Angels).

James McCann, a Dos Pueblos High graduate, signed a free agent deal in the offseason to become the new primary catcher for the Chicago White Sox after serving in the same role for the Detroit Tigers for the past four seasons. McCann has had a strong spring so far, batting .289 and displaying his typical strong defense.

Another local prep product, pitcher Kevin Gowdy (Santa Barbara High), is the No. 24-ranked prospect in the Philadelphia Phillies’ MLB Pipeline.

Outfielder Zack Zehner, who played a year at Santa Barbara City College before transferring to Cal Poly, has batted .385 in spring training with the Yankees and is on the verge of his major-league debut.

Former Foresters expected to have significant roles with major-league teams are Jeff McNeil (INF) with the New York Mets, Ryan O’Hearn (1B) with the Kansas City Royals, and Jordy Mercer (SS) with the Detroit Tigers. n

world’s most famous puppet. He has recorded songs, starred in films and TV shows, and written an autobiography. His image has appeared on postage stamps, and he has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Kermit’s beginnings were humble, however. When his creator Jim Henson first assembled him, he consisted of Henson’s mom’s green coat and two halves of a white ping-pong ball. I mention this, Aries, because the current astrological omens suggest that you, too, could make a puppet that will one day have great influence. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. Here’s the whole truth: Now isn’t a favorable time to start work on a magnificent puppet. But it is a perfect moment to launch the rough beginnings of a project that’s well-suited for your unique talents.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Taurus businessman Chuck Feeney made

a huge fortune as the entrepreneur who co-developed duty-free shopping. But at age 87, he lives frugally, having given away $8 billion to philanthropic causes. He doesn’t even own a house or car. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to follow his lead in the coming weeks.

Be unreasonably generous and exorbitantly helpful. APRIL FOOL! I exaggerated a bit. While it’s true that now is an extra-favorable time to bestow blessings on everyone, you shouldn’t go overboard. Make sure your giving is artful, not careless or compulsive.

Now isn’t really a better time than any other to learn the Inuktitut language. But it is an important time to talk to yourself using phrases like those I mentioned. You need to be extra kind and super positive toward yourself.

LEGALS ADMINISTER OF ESTATE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: VINCENT ESPOSITO Case No.: 19PR00024 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of VINCENT ESPOSITO A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: ANTON ESPOSITO, EVAN ESPOSITO and TONY ESPOSITO in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that: TONY ESPOSITO be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

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

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 04/04/2019 AT 9:00 a.m.

Dept: 5, Room: Colleen K. Sterne 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. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special notice form is available from the court clerk; By: Rosa Reyes, Deputy; Darrel E. Parker, Executive Officer Attorney for Petitioner: S.
