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

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.” During the November vote, Watkins argued the proposal “did not reflect the character or the human scale of the immediate community” and objected to last-minute design changes that would make the project’s air conditioners visible from the street. While some councilmembers may have agreed with Watkins’s critique, they argued the time to make it had come and gone. If developers cannot rely on permits they have been given, asked councilmembers Rowse and Megan Harmon, who in their right mind would invest the millions of

‘

This project is the posterchild for neighborhood incompatibility.

’

— Councilmember Jason Dominguez dollars needed to build rental housing? In this case, Bleecker had spent $800,000 on detailed construction plans after having secured the project design approval. Naturally, the story is not quite so simple. Neighborhood critics of the project — and opponents of the AUD program—argued that the ABR process was clear as mud and that the public would have had no way of knowing what actions the ABR might be taking at

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.

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. —Nick Welsh

Turning a Corner

Mixed-Use Building Finally Replaces Old Union Station

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

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.” —Blanca Garcia

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. COU RTESY

Pot in the Valleys

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. —SusanBelloni, 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

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. —DonThorn, 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

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.

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

These two had a lot of fun traveling to Mexico and Hawaii with lots of camping trips to Lake San Antonio as well. 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.

George Thomas Glass

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.

I can honestly say that they never wanted to go but they ended up having long days of memorable experiences laughing, meeting new friends, and learning new things. For this year’s guide, we’ve compiled a list of more than 200 camps, including old favorites such as the Boy & Girls Club, Parks & Rec, and the YMCA, and new camps such as Make A Pizza! Camp, Seaglass Summer Camp, and Summer Ice Hockey School, in categories from arts and outdoor to special needs, spiritual, and sports with daily, half-day, and full-day fun.

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

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!”

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.

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. — Charles Donelan

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. —Tom Jacobs

a&e | FILM & TV REVIEW

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

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. (JW) Riviera Wonder Park (85 mins., R) In this computer-animated film, a girl named Cameron “June” Bailey must find the imagination she lost after her mother died. She does so when she comes across an amusement park in the woods facing destruction by Chimpanzombies. Fiesta 5

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

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. 3pm. Caesar Uyesaka Stadium, UCSB. $5-$8.

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.

And I wasn’t lying when at least in a metaphorical sense. APRIL FOOL! I stretched

the truth a bit. There’s no way you will produce more than a hundred good new ideas and productions and gifts. At the most, you’ll generate a mere 50.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The weather is warm year-round and the crime rate is low on Pitcairn, a remote South Pacific island that is a 30-hour boat ride away from the nearest airport. The population has been dwindling in recent years, however, which is why the government offers foreigners free land if they choose to relocate. You might want to consider taking advantage of this opportunity. APRIL FOOL! I was exaggerating. It’s true that you could get major health benefits by taking a sabbatical from civilization. But there’s no need to be so drastic about it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You don’t have to run faster than the bear

that’s chasing you. You just have to run faster than the slowest person the bear is chasing. Okay? So don’t worry! APRIL FOOL! What I just said wasn’t your real horoscope. I hope you know me well enough to understand that I would NEVER advise you to save your own ass by betraying or sacrificing someone else. It’s also important to note that the bear I mentioned is entirely metaphorical in nature. So please ignore what I said earlier. However, I do want you to know that there are effective ways to elude the symbolic bear that are also honorable. To discover them, meditate on calming down the beastly bear-like qualities in yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Now is a favorable time to disguise yourself

as a bland nerd with no vivid qualities, or a shy wallflower with no strong opinions, or a polite wimp who prefers to avoid adventure. Please don’t even consider doing anything that’s too interesting or controversial. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, I hope you’ll do the opposite of what I suggested. I think it’s time to express your deep authentic self with aggressive clarity. Be brave and candid and enterprising.

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.
