You’re wrapping up your internship. What’s your next move? I’m going on a reporting trip to Berlin for two weeks, where I’ll be covering the immigration of refugees and asylum seekers to the city. In the fall, I’ll be moving to Barcelona for the year to study communication and Spanish.

You knocked on doors and talked to neighbors after the police shooting off Turnpike.

What was that like? It was a reminder for me why reporting like that matters so much. It was exciting to be able to earn people’s trust for a couple of moments and, in the end, build a picture of what went down with the things I learned.

What was your favorite piece to write, and why? “Santa Barbara Close to 2020 Renewable Energy Goal.” The piece was challenging in that there were a lot of moving parts that I had to fit together. It required me to talk to lots of different people around the city and find answers that weren’t readily available. In the end, I think it highlighted an important issue for the city, one that isn’t going away soon.

CITY OF SANTA BARBARA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING SUGGESTED MODIFICATIONS TO THE UPDATED COASTAL LAND USE PLAN

Planning Commission Hearing Thursday, June 20, 2019, 1:00 p.m.

City Hall, Council Chambers, 735 Anacapa Street

In August 2018, Santa Barbara City Council adopted a comprehensively updated Coastal Land Use Plan (LUP), including an updated Land Use Map (PLN2018-00070). After adoption, the updated Coastal LUP was submitted to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for certification (LCP-4-SBC-18-0062-1). On May 9, 2019, the CCC certified the updated Coastal LUP with suggested modifications. The updated Coastal LUP will not be effective until: 1) The City Council agrees to the CCC’s suggested modifications to the updated Coastal LUP; and 2) The CCC determines at its next public meeting that the City’s action to accept the suggested modifications is legally adequate to satisfy the CCC’s certification order. Once the updated Coastal LUP becomes effective, all Coastal Development Permits approved after that day must be consistent with the updated Coastal LUP.

UNDER FIRE: The school board’s announcement at Tuesday’s school board meeting that MAD Director Dan Williams would be banned from campus followed a half hour of emotional testimony from parents like Tami and Mark Sherman (right) and district critics, several of whom called for firing Superintendent Cary Matsuoka (left).

by Jerry Roberts n a dramatic move, Santa Barbara’s school board on Tuesday ordered its lawyers to change the district’s settlement with embattled MAD Academy Director Dan Williams to force his “immediate removal from campus.”

The board’s action, announced as the five members emerged from closed session, followed a half hour of angry and impassioned testimony from parents and district critics, several of whom called for firing Superintendent Cary Matsuoka.

“A fish rots from the head,” said James Fenkner, a parent and plaintiff in legal action against the district in a separate matter. “It is your sole responsibility as a board to deal with

School Board Orders Academy Director off Campus amid Parents’ Emotional Outcry the rot at the top, and please deal with it now.

Otherwise, the stink will only get worse, and it will be forever on your hands.”

So vehement was the outcry that board attorney Craig Price took the unusual step of standing in defense of Matsuoka to rebut parent arguments and take responsibility for the district’s legal strategy, at one point snapping at audience members who yelled “Time” at him, after he’d exceeded the three-minute limit imposed on them.

“I’m sorry; I’m finishing,” he barked. “Don’t interrupt me!”

As the simmering controversy over Santa Barbara High’s Multimedia Arts & Design (MAD) Academy boiled over, the bid to remove Williams for the school year’s final

CITY Everett, the oldest known snow leopard at any accredited zoo, died at the Santa Barbara Zoo just three weeks before his 22nd birthday. The zoo’s obituary for him said he suffered from osteoarthritis, renal failure, and hypertension, ailments common to elderly big cats. Dr. Julie Barnes, the zoo vice president of Animal Care & Health, wrote that the zoo decided to put Everett down after noticing his health rapidly worsening. The zoo’s other snow leopard, 15-year-old Zoe, suffered from ailments similar to Everett’s and died unexpectedly in February.

housands of visitors made a pilgrimage to the Santa Barbara Mission for the 2019 I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival over the Memorial Day weekend to watch masterful artists at work against a backdrop of live music and food booths. The free, three-day event found artists racing against the clock and braving rain to finish 150 imaginative and colorful hand-drawn works. Chalking up its 33rd anniversary this year, the festival benefits the Children’s Creative Project, a nonprofit arts education organization that brings together kids and professional artists.

MAD as Hell

NEWS BRIEFS

week was a victory for parents who broke silence surrounding the affair to allege misconduct by the longtime director and by former operations director Pablo Sweeney, while charging the district violated legal requirements to report such complaints to law enforcement.

“I am sorry that you have allowed this incident to fester into the community scandal that we now confront,” said Mark Sherman, father of the former MAD student whose unheeded complaints to Williams about Sweeney a year ago triggered the affair.

“I am sorry that you chose a course of delay and obfuscation rather than one of justice and elucidation,” said Sherman. “That you chose to mimic Penn State, Michigan State, USC,

A three-story luxury resort planned for three acres of waterfront land at 433 East Cabrillo Boulevard is scheduled to break ground in 2020. A partnership between real estate developers Robert Green Company and Fespar Enterprises, the hotel will have 60 rooms, a restaurant and bar, a rooftop pool deck and bar, and meeting and outdoor event spaces.

Approved by the City Planning Commission years ago, the project came back up for review following changes to its design plans. Those changes were approved last year by the Planning Commission and Historic Landmarks Commission, whose final approval is now needed for the project to move forward.

For the first time, the city will be charging more to treat high-strength fecal waste, reflecting the additional impact of that type of waste on the city’s wastewater treatment plant. For residential customers, the rate bump will be 1.2 percent, which translates to 58 cents more per month. MarBorg, which currently deposits roughly five million gallons of wastewater a year at the city plant, calculates its rates will increase by a whopping 750 percent, or $300,000 per year — calculations disputed by the city. The new rates, which must be approved by the City Council, are scheduled to go into effect 7/1.

COUNTY The county broke ground 5/29 on the new ReSource Center, which promises to divert 60 percent more material from the Tajiguas landfill, bringing the county’s total diversion rate to 85 percent. A state-of-the-art Materials Recycling Facility will sort through the South Coast’s recyclables. Food scraps and green wastes will be anaerobically digested, creating a new species of compost and enough methane to power 2,000 homes in the process. All this will reduce the greenhouse-gas equivalent of 28,000 cars from the road. The new facility is slated to become operational in January 2021.

BUSINESS More than 360,000 people visited Channel Islands National Park in 2018. They spent an estimated $22.9 million making the trip, which supported 285 jobs and pumped $32.4 million into the regional economy. That’s according to a recent report published by the National Park Service and the U.S.

There have been some missteps; the outreach nurse promised by Cottage to perform co-response duties with city restorative cops has yet to be hired. While Cottage has begun recruiting, there’s a statewide shortage of nurses.

The city’s grant creates no new housing; instead, the plan is to bombard the most vulnerable with outreach and referrals to services that will lead to shelter and eventually housing. As of last week, outreach workers have recorded 100 interactions and made more than 38 referrals for such services as housing applications, food stamps, birthcertificate applications, Social Security applications, and transportation assistance. The program is also working with 14 “complex individuals” with high needs. —Nick Welsh

Morua Warns Against Drunk Driving

A

warning against drunk driving written by Raymond Morua, a former congressional aide to then Representative Lois Capps and who was sent to prison in 2014 for the hit-and-run killing of Santa Barbara resident Mallory Dies, is featured in a new book of testimonials from DUI offenders. Impact: Insights, Effects, and the Reality of Impaired Driving includes 40 firsthand accounts from inmates throughout the United States and was compiled by a support group of selfidentified “DUI murderers” serving time in a Soledad correctional facility.

Morua, 38, talks about the night he hit Dies. “I had a lot of alcohol to drink,” he writes. “I don’t even know if I was having a good time. I blacked out.” He says when he came to, he was handcuffed to a table. “Now, still to this day, I cannot look in the mirror or see my reflection without feeling shame for what I have done. … I took a daughter from her parents, a sister from her siblings, and a friend from her friends. I took advantage of my community’s trust and I failed.”

Before Morua’s 2014 arrest, he was convicted of DUI twice in 2006. He was also arrested for hit-and-run that year, as well as driving on a suspended license. He was placed on probation and ordered to attend a DUI diversion program. Morua is now serving his 20-years-to-life sentence at the California Men’s Penal Colony in San Luis Obispo. He’ll be eligible for parole in 2022.

o date, 12 of the top 50 homeless individuals targeted by Santa Barbara City Hall for focused assistance — by virtue of the high service volume they generate — have managed to find shelter with assistance from a $2.2 million, multi-agency homeless program funded by state homeless grants.

Of those, some moved in with families or friends; how long they will stay is not clear.

After being on the streets just over a month, outreach workers with what’s called S.B. Connect Home have contacted 14 of the 50 most vulnerable. The program, funded as part of a state initiative to address chronic homelessness, brings together for the first time Santa Barbara police, Cottage Hospital, and a crew of three outreach workers run by CityNet, an Orange County–based nonprofit.

MAKE WAY: The county is looking to create Montecito’s biggest debris basin by purchasing and clearing properties like 640 Randall Road (above).

Betting $4 Million on New Debris Basin

A

s part of a hedge against future debris flows, county supervisors authorized the $4 million purchase of a Randall Road residence to help create a new eightacre debris basin on the mountain side of Highway 192. The property in question— 640 Randall Road — is owned by Ronald Daniels, president of Johns Hopkins University, and his wife, Joanne Rosenblatt. It’s the first real money the supervisors have spent on an ambitious $25 million plan — involving eight property owners— to create the biggest debris basin in Montecito. Unlike the other properties, the couple’s home sustained relatively minor damage and was being remodeled at the time the debris flow struck. Work continued after the disaster.

Supervisors authorized the deal now so as to keep the purchase price low, before remodeling is finished.

Though the county needed the couple’s property to make a sufficiently large basin,

any final deal remains a long way off. The eight property owners all indicated a willingness to sell, but at what price? The county has applied for a Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) grant to pay for 75 percent of land acquisition and construction costs. But will FEMA provide funding at pre-disaster values or at their post-destruction prices? Flood Control czar Tom Fayram stated the $25 million price tag assumes post-disaster land values.

New debris basins, as a rule, are prohibitively expensive and environmentally problematic. Supporters of the debris basin proposal—a concept spearheaded by one of the destroyed property owners and joined in by the others—point out that 95 properties downstream from Randall were wiped out by last January’s debris flow. Some of that damage, they contend, could have prevented had there been a major debris basin.

Key Mental-Health Beds Saved

T

he Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors convened a special emergency meeting on Tuesday to prevent two residential mental-health treatment facilities from shutting down and going dark as a result of the bankruptcy filing announced by the operator, Anka Behavioral Health, on May 1. In the past year, Anka’s two facilities—one in the north and one in the south—provided residential treatment to 352 patients with serious mental illnesses, most of whom had previously been held on involuntary holds in the county’s Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF, or “Puff”).

Citing the emergency circumstances posed by Anka’s sudden bankruptcy announcement, the supervisors suspended the usual competitive bidding requirements and awarded the treatment contracts to two private, out-of-county mental-health providers. To maintain uninterrupted mentalhealth services, the supervisors authorized the expenditure of $400,000 to cover costs for the remainder of the fiscal year — which expires June 30 — and $4.3 million to cover costs for the next year.

Anka provides mental-health services in 11 counties throughout California. The com-

pany pulled the plug last month, claiming its liabilities exceeded assets by a factor of 10.

Anka first signed a contract with the County of Santa Barbara in 2015, providing a 10-bed facility in Santa Barbara and a 12-bed facility in North County. Initially, Anka estimated it would suspend services at the end of June, but by May 8, the company alerted county mental-health administrators they’d have to shut down a month sooner than that.

Behavioral Wellness spokesperson Suzanne Grimmesey said the company worked closely with county and state mental-health agencies to ensure there was no interruption in the provision of services.

Some Anka employees will continue to work with successor providers, Telecare in the north and Crestwood in the south.

The supervisors were not scheduled to meet this week. Had they not called the emergency meeting, however, services would have temporarily halted. These are the only residential treatment beds offered by the County’s Department of Behavioral Wellness—MediCal payments are accepted — and their loss, however temporary, would have been cause for significant concern.

the Catholic Church, rather than demonstrate a more enlightened course fitting of a smaller, community body.”

Founded in 1996, MAD is one of the more successful of many specialty-learning programs, known as academies, in Santa Barbara’s three public high schools. Its academic success rests on substantial financial support from parents and wealthy donors through a nonprofit foundation.

Its website calls the academy a “four year ‘school within a school’” where students take “an integrated curriculum” comprising precollege requirements, advanced placement studies, and classes in “graphic design, film, photography, social media, and web design.”

Amid crosscurrents of education policy, legal conflicts, and community politics, the MAD affair boils down to three basic questions: • Did Williams party with students at times and places involving underage drinking and/or drug use, as suggested by a social media video released by parent Justin Tuttle?

• Did Sweeney send illicit electronic communications, or act otherwise inappropriately, to a male student or students, as alleged by Mark Sherman, his wife, Tami, and their son?

• Did Williams and district administrators circumvent legal requirements to report information to law enforcement, as required

by California’s Penal Code?

Under pressure, officials on Sunday turned over to the Santa Barbara Police Department (SBPD) a confidential private investigator’s report its attorneys commissioned to look into the allegations.

“The contents of the document will be reviewed by our Investigations Division,” said SBPD Public Information Officer Anthony Wagner. Anyone with information about the case should contact the department at (805) 882-8900.

The controversy surfaced in April, when Williams suddenly was placed on paid administrative leave, pending an unspecified “investigation.” About 10 days later, a terse email announced an “amicable agreement,” allowing him to finish the school year but announcing his June 30 retirement.

Sweeney, who worked at school but was employed by the nonprofit California Academy Foundation, was escorted off campus in January and resigned in March.

Events unfolded after Sherman’s son in January presented a package of information about allegations by him and others to an assistant principal at SBHS; now at UC Berkeley, the student made similar com-

plaints to Williams a year earlier, but was rebuffed, he said.

Efforts to reach Williams and Sweeney were unsuccessful.

On Tuesday, some parents pleaded for Williams’s removal.

“I implore you,” said one mother, who asked her name be omitted to avoid problems for her son at MAD. “Dan was still at school today, and I find that very disturbing.

I asked my son today—‘how does that feel?’

He doesn’t like it. The kids are confused.”

I am sorry … that you chose to mimic Penn State, Michigan State, USC, the Catholic Church, rather than demonstrate a more enlightened course fitting of a smaller, community body.

—Parent Mark Sherman

The woman said she went to Williams’s office last week to ask about year-end logistics.

“I really didn’t even want to go in there,” she said, “and there was a boy in there that was wrangling him around from his back, wrestling in the office.”

As a practical matter, it was unclear how the board’s directive, unanimously approved after a motion by Laura Capps and a second by Kate Ford, would be carried out.

An effort by district lawyers to revisit the part of the agreement allowing him at school potentially could unravel the entire settlement — including Williams’s assent to retirement.

A California Teachers Association attorney has represented Williams; perhaps the single most powerful special interest in Sacramento, the CTA is responsible for winning passage of a body of law providing teachers strong protections against discipline and dismissal.

This may explain why board lawyers agreed to allow him to return to work, in exchange for his retirement and in lieu of a protracted and expensive legal fight.

Nonetheless, parents hailed the school board’s move.

“This is a great first step toward protecting and prioritizing students,” said Tami Sherman.

ad things happen to good people sometimes, and when they’re elderly and manipulated by con artists, it’s called elder abuse. The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office has a special unit that investigates and prosecutes elder abuse.

For the Taylor couple, 90-year-old Merle and 87-year-old Marilyn Taylor, the DA was able to convict the people who preyed upon them, and in court last week, the Taylors got the last word in a settlement that should help repay the nearly $1 million in debts their grifters cost them.

The financial ball started rolling downhill for the Taylors in 2014 when they received a cold call from Shauna Giliberti, offering to help them prepare a living will. That phone call led to meetings and a friendship. Eventually Giliberti persuaded the Taylors to buy what was known as a “Farmer’s Bond” issued in China in 1925.

Giliberti had told the Taylors about a secret deal: She knew a New York attorney who would soon be cashing in the Chinese bonds at a Zurich bank. Merle Taylor became convinced the ¥250,000 (yuan) bond would result in $5 million or more. (Antiquarians and Securities and Exchange Commission investigators later confirmed that the bond was only worth $1,500 as a collector’s item.)

To buy the bond, Merle Taylor took out a third mortgage on a home he owned on the Mesa in Santa Barbara. Giliberti’s boyfriend, Dennis Gleason, facilitated the mortgage.

Taylor agreed to go in 50/50 with Giliberti and Gleason, though they never put up any money. By this time, Giliberti and Gleason were living with the Taylors in Lompoc. Witnesses described Giliberti as a personable forty-something with long blonde hair and Gleason as very persistent and sometimes threatening.

The third mortgage was the first of several loans with a series of brokers and lenders that ended with a short-term loan of $950,000

Groundwater Fouled

by Orcutt Oil Wells

V

ideo of a presentation by the U.S. Geological Survey to California water boards has surfaced that reveals the groundwater around the Orcutt oil field is contaminated, according to the Environmental Defense Center in Santa Barbara. The advocacy group released the information on Tuesday, stating that “federal scientists found evidence of oilfield fluids in groundwater underlying the nearby Orcutt oil field,” which the report said straddled both the Santa Maria and the San Antonio groundwater basins. USGS hydrologist Robert Anders emphasized the Orcutt information was preliminary, based on positive results in four of 16 wells tested, and that further information would be in a report to come later in the year.

Nearby wells had been used for steam injection and acidizing by Pacific Coast Energy Corporation for more than a decade, according to the EDC, but the county denied its application to expand in 2016.

“We weren’t even aware of groundwater contamination back then,” said Alicia Roessler, an attorney with EDC who is now working on behalf of Los Padres Sierra Club and Santa Barbara County Action Network to stop another oil company, ERG, from expanding its Cat Canyon operation by

Pacific Coast Energy Company’s Orcutt Hill oil field

developing 233 additional steam-injection wells. Those wells sit above the south end of the Santa Maria groundwater basin, just north of the San Antonio basin.

In the meantime, the EDC has also been finalizing two years of work combing through ERG documents received in a Freedom of Information Act request. Five oil spills were documented and eight more had escaped secondary containment, including one wholesale spraying of nearby oak trees and hillsides; two wildfires on its property, in 2016 and 2017, that burned over 35 acres and required several air tanker drops to extinguish; and the death of an oil worker.

The Environmental Defense Center alleges that 47 of ERG’s existing wells have injected “toxic wastewater” into the “freshwater aquifer” over the past nine years. (The video is posted online at independent.com.)

Elder Abuse

CONT’D FROM P.13

to convince the Taylors that they had been defrauded by the people they trusted.

As for the Taylors, they were unable to refinance the final $950,000 loan and had never been able to meet its payments. Over their objections, that loan had consolidated their existing low-interest debts on the house with the newer loans, which totaled about $800,000, with about $150,000 paid in fees and commissions. The Mesa house was placed on a pending foreclosure. By then the Taylors had retained Santa Barbara attorneys Lacy Taylor and John Thyne III, who were able to delay the foreclosure but unable to prevent it. West Coast Private Investments foreclosed on the house.

In all, at least five people were prosecuted on criminal charges associated with swindling the Taylors. Most received probation, but Gleason never appeared in court and apparently skipped town, as did Houston when he was out on bail. Both have warrants out for their arrest. Giliberti is serving one year in jail for breaking her prior probation terms on an earlier conviction in Ventura for elder abuse.

At a civil trial held in May 2019, the jury decided against Houston and his girlfriend, real estate broker Linda Lukas, as well as Rush My File and FMC Lending that facilitated the earlier loans and also profited from the fraud. Andrew Dioli, CEO of the two corporations, admitted to falsifying docu-

ments in which he stated that he had conducted a search to find other loan options, as well as falsifying loan disclosure statements, including one stating that Rush My File was acting as an agent for the Taylors.

The civil trial itself lasted two and a half weeks. After a day and a half of deliberation, the jury delivered their verdict against the defendants on a Friday. The following Tuesday, the jurors gathered again, this time to consider punitive damages. The Taylors were asking for $1.5 million.

Judge Colleen Sterne, however, announced from the bench that three of the six defendants — Andrew Dioli, FMC Lending, and Rushmyfile Inc., early investors in the Mesa house —had agreed to a settlement. Judge Sterne told the jurors their work was not in vain because their presence during trial had an “extraordinarily crystallizing effect” on the defendants’ minds over the weekend, allowing the settlement. The amount was not disclosed, but the Taylors’ attorney Thyne told the Independent it was “sufficient.”

After the initial May 17 jury verdict, the Taylors admitted they were “very happy.”

When asked what they would do with their newly awarded funds, they quickly said, “Get out of debt.” The couple advised others to ask before signing or pursuing new investments. But Thyne added, “Always get n a second opinion.”

The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara announces

EFFECTIVE JUNE 5, 2019 APPLICATIONS FOR PROJECT BASED SECTION 8 (PBV) WILL BE ACCEPTED Applications will be accepted online only at

www.hacsbwaitlist.org beginning Wednesday, June 5, 2019 at 8:00am.

This waitlist will remain open until further notice.

Eligible households under this program are offered a Section 8 voucher that is attached to a specific unit. Participants pay a portion of their income toward rent directly to the landlord and the remainder is paid by the Housing Authority.

Thespian Thanks

T

o all who attended West Side Story at Dos Pueblos or Catch Me If You Can at San Marcos or Matilda at Santa Barbara High School, thank you!

Our students and staff have been thrilled with the community’s response. Our public schools offer the chance to see tomorrow’s Broadway, TV/film, dance, and recording stars at very reasonable prices.

But ticket sales alone don’t begin to cover the costs of our high school productions. During the ’60s and ’70s, Annette Slavin sponsored Santa Barbara Youth Theater, allowing students the chance to work with professionals who brought top-quality production values. We need other Annette Slavins who will leave a lasting legacy for Santa Barbara’s current and future audiences. Donating to public schools ensures that thousands (not just hundreds) of young lives will be touched yearly.

We’d love to be able to focus all our attention on teaching and directing, but the constant need for fundraising (about $50,000 per year per high school) takes a great deal of our time.

In a town with such resources, generosity, and love for the arts, we’re hopeful that you or someone you know would be generous enough to bless our programs with an endowment or donation of any size. Donations can be made to the Santa Barbara Education Foundation (earmarked for individual or entire school performing-arts departments). On behalf of our students and ourselves, we thank our thousands of audience members who support our public high school theater productions!

Traffic Blockage!

T

he Chick-fil-A fast-food restaurant’s drive-thru is blamed for cars backing up and blocking traffic, but the city says there isn’t much they can do.

City! You must think!

Try parking in the traffic lane in Los Angeles or San Francisco! You will get a ticket!

If the city put up “No Parking” signs in the restaurant’s block and ticketed any cars waiting in the street, after a few days of this, there would be no more traffic backup.

Chick-fil-A has no legal right to have the city street serve as part of its waiting line.

Families, seniors and disabled individuals receive waitlist priority.

Jeez, Geez?

A

headline worthy of a high school newspaper appeared in the Independent’s May 16 issue on the aging of the California population: “Is S.B. Going to the Geezers?” It is not wise or politically correct to insult a growing demographic by telling them they are odd and unreasonable and usually male. In fact, a look around Santa Barbara finds it filled with delightful, generous, fun-loving people over 65, and, I would bet, that most are women.

For the Record

¶ In last week’s news piece on the new Indio Muerto Street hotel proposal, we ran the rendering of the hotel slated for Cabrillo and Calle Cesar Chavez.

And in the ambulance contract article, we note that the County Fire Chief is Mark Hartwig, not Mark Hartwick. ¶ We printed the old name for Lisa Amador’s dating service in last week’s “Workin’ It” cover story; it is now called Amador Matchmaking. ¶ Though our story last on the latest Economic Forecast presented his words accurately, Peter Rupert says that he misspoke about Direct Relief ’s growth, which is due to the high cost of the medical items that are donated to the nonprofit. He wanted to make it clear that he did not mean to say it competed with other nonprofits for funds. ¶ The review of James Benning’s show Quilts, Cigarettes & Dirt in last week’s issue should have directed those wishing to see the two longer films, Twenty Cigarettes and READERS, to the MCASB website, mcasantabarbara.org/events/upcoming-events, for specific screening times.

¶ And last week’s news item on sewage line spills within the City of Santa Barbara mistakenly stated there were “more than seven” spills in the past year, when in fact there were only seven. The total quantity spilled was 855 gallons. By contrast, there were 41 spills in 2009, totaling 7,000 gallons, this giving rise to the legal action initiated by S.B. Channelkeeper a few years ago. Likewise, the article reported the settlement agreement to that litigation required the city to repair or replace a mile of pipe a year. In fact, the settlement requires City Hall to repair or replace 3.5 miles a year. These repairs are part of the reasons wastewater treatment rates have gone up since, but only a part.

Rosemary R. Laughlin 05/19/22-04/24/19

Rosemary R. Laughlin passed away on Wednesday, April 24th 2019 in Carson City Nevada, surrounded by her devoted family, after a full life of almost 97 years. She was preceded in death by her husband, Herbert L. Laughlin – married 54 years, her brothers Edward, Howard and John Reichmuth, and daughters Sarah Ann Laughlin and Katherine Laughlin Isaacson. She is survived by her children, son Herbert L. Laughlin Jr., daughters Margaret C. Laughlin and Nancy Laughlin, grandchildren John, Thomas and Holly Isaacson, and great grandchildren Anton, Ibbie, Katherine and Candice Isaacson.

Born on May 19, 1922 in Long Beach, California to Admiral Ferdinand Louis Reichmuth and Clara Stevenson Reichmuth, she spent her childhood years until 1938 in Palo Alto California where she attended Castilleja girl’s school.

During her teenage years she lived in Washington DC where her father was stationed and promoted to Commandant of the Potomac Naval Command.

She graduated high school from Sidwell Friends School, returned to California to study at Mills College, then back to Washington DC where she met her husband, Lt. Commander Herbert L. Laughlin, of Albany NY. After eloping to Florida, they were married in DC with full military regalia in 1943. As newlyweds, they lived for a period in Westmoreland, New Hampshire, where their first three children were born. In 1948 they moved to Palo Alto and lived in the same house where she grew up to raise their young family, and where Herbert opened his music stores, “House of Sound” in Redwood City, and “Sea of Records” in San Francisco, and Santa Barbara.

In 1958 the family moved to Montecito where they spent the next 20 years.

While raising children, Rosemary was actively involved in the Girl Scouts and Sierra Club, studied ballet and baroque music on recorder, and later became a kindergarten aide at Montecito Union School. She helped to raise a menagerie of animals, including rabbits, peacocks, dogs, a horse, and an occasional lost teenager friend of her children.

As she had spent every summer since 1933 at a remote family cabin on Fallen Leaf Lake, Rosemary brought her own family to the same cabin every year.

Over decades, the traditions, stories and way of life became a treasured legacy, where her skills as handywoman, boat handler, swimming and rowing enthusiast, wilderness hiker and wood stove cooking expert were passed on to the next generations.

Rosemary, nicknamed “Posie” by relatives, was a proud fourth generation Californian, whose great grandmother crossed the plains in a covered wagon in 16

1850. She also bragged about her strong German stock from her father’s side, as she lavished on beer and Limburger cheese on special occasion. Her pioneering heritage and interests contrasted distinctly with those of husband Herb to form a unique and colorful marriage. Herb delved into classical music, antique and art collections, practiced flamenco guitar, and dressed daily in a suit, hat and bowtie. Posie, however, preferred hanging out in her jeans, playing her recorder, building wooden puzzles, or playing badminton outside with the kids. She was a lover of nature, music and dance, an avid model railroad builder, a Star Trek enthusiast, and proficient seamstress, making outfits, suits, and even sleeping bags for her family.

In 1978 Herb and Rosemary sold the house in Montecito to move to Carson City Nevada, where she spent her last 40 years. After Herb died in 1997, she rediscovered herself through poetry writing, earning an Editor’s Choice Award from the International Library of Poetry. She volunteered in a first grade classroom at the local elementary school, and became an active member of St. Peters Episcopal Church. As a widow she found loving companionship through her two adopted cats, and missed them dearly when they could not outlive her. Rosemary never stopped learning; offering her skills and services freely to the community, whether it be crocheted hats, playing recorder at church services, or sharing her famous oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. She will be greatly missed; she left her “heart print” on all who were open enough to receive her gifts.

Rosemary’s memorial service was held on May 18th at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Carson City Nevada.

Correspondence to the Laughlin family can be sent via email to Peggy Laughlin, peggylaugh@aol.com.

for their care and understanding at The Ridley Tree Cancer Center of Santa Barbara, Mariposa at Ellwood Shores, and Serenity House of Santa Barbara.

A 'Celebration of Life' is scheduled for Sunday, June 9, 2019, 12 Noon to 3:00 pm, Stow Grove Park, 600 North La Patera Lane, Goleta, Area #3.

Robert ‘Bob’ Sollen 09/29/21-05/10/19

Robert ‘Bob’ Sollen, passed away peacefully at The Californian on De La Vina Street, on Friday, May 10, 2019.

He was born on September 29, 1921, in Menominee, Michigan to Henning and Agnes Sollen.

After attending local public schools, he entered the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1941. His University education was soon interrupted for four years while he served in the U. S. Coast Guard during World War 11.

Returning to the University of Wisconsin after the war, Bob was a reporter and columnist for the Daily Cardinal, the student newspaper in 1947-48. He graduated in 1948 with a major in political science and a minor in journalism.

From 1948 to 1951 Bob covered federal agency offices and the federal district court in Milwaukee for the Milwaukee Journal (now the Journal Sentinel). He married Jeanne Riha in 1950 and they traveled in East Asia on an independent writing tour from November 1951 to August 1952.

For the next decade, Sollen worked for several California community newspapers and in May of 1963, he was employed by the Santa Barbara NewsPress. In 1968, he was assigned to report on offshore oil industry activities. In 1969, he covered the oil well blowouts off Santa Barbara, sometimes described as the dawn of the environmental movement.

Sollen was a full-time environmental reporter until his retirement in 1985.

Upon his retirement, he was invited to prepare and conduct an environmental journalism course in the UCSB Environmental Studies Program. He conducted the course biennially from 1986 to 1990 and continued writing independently on political, environmental and social

issues.

Bob and Jeanne divorced in 1969. May, 1970, he married Tomika Shibutani who passed away October 17, 2016.

For more than 30 years, Bob and Tom travelled widely throughout the United States and abroad, visiting many regions of Asia, Europe and Mexico.

For their work and interest in natural resource conservation, Bob and Tomika were honored by environmental groups including the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Center, and Community Environmental Council.

Bob also served on the County Planning Commission from January 1989 to June 1991. He was a volunteer member of several boards of environmental groups and served on several county advisory committees. Sollens book, An Ocean of Oil: A Century of Political Struggle Over Petroleum Off the California Coast, was published by Denali Press in 1998.

There were no children from either of his marriages. A sister, Esther, died in 1955. Nephews and nieces on Tomikas side, were a joy to both of them and reached out to them faithfully! He and Tomika spent their last years under the watchful loving care of Abundant Care in Santa Barbara for which we are most thankful. We are also deeply grateful for the expert care and compassion of Dr. Sim, The Californian, and visiting nurses. Shortly after Tomikas death, Bob returned to his childhood faith and began attending Summerland Presbyterian Church.

Donations, in Bob's memory, can be made either to Summerland Presbyterian Church P.O. Box 475 Summerland, CA 93067 and/or Community Environmental Council, 26 E. Anapamu, 2nd floor.

A memorial will soon follow. Please contact Diana Lippert for information (805) 448-8282

In Memoriam

Julian Nott 1944-2019

Balloonist, Scientist, Engineer, Adventurer barren Nazca Plains could have been viewed by men in balloons centuries ago. He designed and built a balloon made of natural materials available to Peruvians 1,500 years ago, and then piloted it in an open gondola up 350 feet — just to prove it could have been done.

To prove the potential for hybrid energy — using both solar and conventional heat sources — he designed and piloted the world’s first solar balloon across the English Channel.

His fearless determination to venture into terra incognito was never reckless derring-do. Julian was quick to point out that “everything in life is a risk. Even driving a car can carry an element of risk.” But, as Julian amply demonstrated,

meteor that moves so fast in Earth’s atmosphere that it heats up and glows as it moves through our space?

That was Julian Nott, the effervescent balloon pilot and scientist, inventor, adventurer, lecturer, and writer, who was grounded in March … but only after a tragic earthbound accident.

Julian was in the process of changing the course of balloon history with the development of an entirely new system in which conventional ballast is replaced with cryogenic helium. Julian was flying the experimental balloon he designed to test high-altitude technology. Several hours after landing INTREPID INVENTOR: Julian safely from a trial run in San Diego Nott designed, built, and tested County, Julian returned into the balfar-reaching balloon designs. loon’s capsule to extract equipment.

The capsule became loose and rolled 400 feet down the mountainside. He sustained a serious head injury and passed away peacefully two days later, with his beloved partner, Anne Luther, by his side.

During his long and extraordinary career, this British maverick had broken 79 World Ballooning Records, and 96 British Records. He is the first balloonist ever to receive the Gold Medal of the Royal Aero Club, presented for outstanding achievement in aviation (previously awarded to only 34 luminaries, including the Wright brothers and Neil Armstrong). Julian was awarded the prestigious Montgolfier diploma and was the only balloonist ever elected to the elite Society of Experimental Test Pilots.

His personality was as buoyant as his equipment.

His upbeat demeanor filled every gathering and conversation with lightness and energy. Julian did not suffer fools lightly, and he had that distinct British talent of articulation, with humor and a Monty Python–esque voice of exasperation. He loved a Robert Browning good rousing discourse on politics, and puns and parodies would elicit his jubilant, “Oh HO!” coupled with a conspiratorial laugh.

However, his bon vivant personality completely belied his diligence and dedication could reduce your margin of error; brilliant, mind-boggling, thinking-outside-the-box genius. he would engage only in carefully calculated maneuvers.

And yet he could speak to us laymen — a sold-out crowd of Channel City Club members, or the enthralled junior high students at local schools — and not only make us see what could be achieved but also inspire us to think that we could go out and do it ourselves.

The All-American Boy

After graduating Epsom College in Surrey, but before earning his master’s in physical chemistry from Oxford, Julian decided to spend part of his gap year touring America

by Greyhound with a friend. Cut from the upper class in Britain, Julian naturally held a less-than-sterling opinion of “the colonies” and took for granted that America was a tad uncouth and bourgeois.

Once here, however, he had a dramatic conversion.

Julian was fascinated with what he heard and observed. And with his keen eye for observation, he definitely keyed into American culture and noted it offered not so much a perfectly classless society but one with class mobility.

Through pluck and perseverance, one could move to another place of power, prestige, fame, and fortune. To Julian, America represented endless possibilities: an open society with far less bureaucracy or red tape than Britain. It suited everything in his own personality: independence, energy, enterprise, and achievement.

Brenda Lee’s hit at that time, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” struck a chord with Julian as the theme of his visit. The Golden Gate Bridge itself was a symbol of man dreaming and reaching out to “close the gap” and using applied technology to achieve this. (Julian actually trademarked his phrase “Math lets dreams take flight.”)

After that trip, Julian was always interested in returning to America and was subsequently thrilled to be proffered the U.S.A.’s O-1A visa, assigned to individuals with an extraordinary ability in the sciences who are internationally recognized. Julian worked with NASA and JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratories); he had been a consultant on the design of the new U.S. Navy Advanced Blimps since 1986. His balloon Innovation — which he designed, built, and piloted solo to a world-record altitude of 55,134 feet in 1980 — was placed on permanent exhibition at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in D.C. In 2012, Julian became an American citizen and beamed for an entire week. Then he held a citizenship party at which he extolled the country’s virtues, where he pleasantly chided his friends, “Sometimes I think America is wasted on Americans!”

Did I mention his voice? Julian’s sonorous baritone was a thing of beauty, and he happily shared it at parties and at church. It conveyed his unabashed joy and gratitude for the world. People would stop him in public places, commenting on how happy he must be, as he was singing out loud without realizing it.

Perhaps Julian’s favorite all-time quote by Charles Lindbergh could adequately sum up his legacy: “Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: What more could you ask of life?”

obituaries Patrick J. McCarthy 08/03/22-05/20/19

Patrick J. McCarthy, Professor Emeritus of English at UC Santa Barbara and a witty, learned, much beloved member of the English faculty, died at age 96, on May 20, 2019.

Patrick retired in 1991 after 25 years at UCSB. Born, to Irish immigrant parents, Patrick was always a New Yorker, attending Jesuit Regis High School in Manhattan, where he starred in basketball, then Fordham University, from which he graduated as valedictorian in 1943. He served as a lieutenant in the U.S Army in the latter years of World War II. During the occupation of Japan, Patrick was assigned to teach English literature to US troops in the Army Education Program. There he found his life’s work. Following the time in Japan and Army service, he returned to New York and enrolled in the graduate program at Columbia University, concentrating on Victorian literature. There he met Helen Lasek, also a Victorianist, whom he would marry in Tucson, Arizona, in 1951. He taught at the University of Arizona, though his early career was beset by health difficulties. He completed his doctoral dissertation in 1960 with Emery Neff at Columbia, and published Matthew Arnold and the Three Classes, a biographical and social history study of Arnold, in 1964. He and Helen enjoyed a year’s sojourn in Rome in 1962-63.

Patrick and Helen moved to Santa Barbara from Tucson in 1966 when he joined the English department of UCSB. He served briefly as chair in 1970-71, but was again beset by health problems. The McCarthys enjoyed frequent European travel and research stays in London over the next twenty years. He published dozens of articles on Romantic and Victorian literature and mentored a generation of graduate students in that period. After his retirement in 1991 Patrick served as a volunteer at Catholic Charities, then became president of its Advisory Board in 1997.

In retirement Patrick founded and moderated Dickns-L, an online email discussion list which served amateur and professional readers of Charles Dickens around the world. His erudition and knowledge of Dickens delighted the thousands of Dickensians who subscribed to the list-serve.

Helen retired from Santa Barbara City College in 1993, and the two of them continued their travels abroad over the next twenty years, enjoying friendships in England as well as in

New York and Tucson. Though his health was always uncertain, Patrick maintained a vigorous schedule of exercise and meeting with friends and colleagues. His 67-year marriage to Helen concluded with her death in February, 2018.

He continued to live at their Rincon Vista home until illness brought him to Mission Terrace last year. His delight in poetry continued until the last week of his life as friends visited and read to him.

Riley Charles Fatch 06/11/92-05/13/19

Riley Charles Fatch, born June 11, 1992 left this world on May 13, 2019. Riley grew up in Santa Barbara, attending Foothill and Monte Vista Elementary, La Colina Jr. High and San Marcos High School.

Those who knew Riley will remember his sharp wit, big heart and charismatic nature. He was a handsome, hilarious, generous and loving person.

Riley grew up in town playing soccer, football and baseball before briefly attending Chico State University. He spent summers boating in the northwest with family and friends.

Despite many sincere attempts at recovery, and despite the love and support of family, friends and professionals, Riley was unable to win his 8 year battle with addiction. He chose to seek eternal peace and to be free from the painful struggle his life had become.

Riley will be missed terribly by those left behind, including his parents, Bob and Kim Fatch and his two older brothers, Casey and Connor Fatch as well as many other family members and friends. There will be a celebration of his life on June 22nd.

Revictimized

Santa Barbara Permaculture Presents

Reverse Climate Change with Marine Permaculture Strategies for Ocean Regeneration

California Relaxes Murder Sentencing Rules s a victim advocate, and as a sur-

als to freedom. Their convictions will be drastically reduced, with total disregard of victims’ physical safety and emotional well-being. Now, if your loved one was murdered say one, five, ten years ago, would you approve of this law? I doubt it.

This is why SB 1437 was never on the ballot, as it should have been, for California voters to decide if they wanted the change.

Sneaky move.

Here’s a possible scenario: Three years ago, some gang-bangers became upset with a teenager who was tagging over their graffiti “art.” They saw this as a direct challenge. As a group, they rolled up to him as he walked to school, piled out of their cars, and swarmed him. Each one of them punched and kicked him, and one of them stabbed him in the chest, killing him. All were prosecuted and convicted for murder based on the “natural and probable consequences” doctrine. Each of them agreed to and engaged in the ambush and beatdown of the victim. Under these gangland circumstances, murder was a natural and probable consequence of their assault. Each was sentenced to 15 years to life for second-degree murder; the person holding the knife at the exact moment of the killing was never determined.

Flash forward to January 1, 2019.

Because SB 1437 takes retroactive effect, each of our fictitious gangsters can file a petition for resentencing under the new law. Each one of them could even be released from prison by this June at the latest, if they have not been released already.

vivor myself, I am horrified and feel insulted by the changes in the law that California passed in what I call the revictimization of victims, past and present, and a total disregard for victims’ right to justice and to protection.

It is crucial to understand what victims of crime go through, at the time of the incident and as they heal. Yes, victims become survivors, eventually, but it takes months, years, and, in some cases, a lifetime. Anyone who has been victimized by criminals, directly or indirectly, will tell you this.

I hear it frequently as a victim advocate for a local government agency.

California’s government seems to think that legislators can overlook victims’ rights.

Allow me to explain.

Prior to January 1, 2019, murder was defined as an unlawful killing with “expressed malice,” where there was a specific intent to kill, or with “implied malice,” where someone who was aware of that risk, yet with conscious disregard for human life, committed that act anyway.

One did not have to be the actual killer to be guilty of murder. Our laws have long recognized that accomplices were as guilty as the actual perpetrator. For example, the getaway driver is equally guilty of robbery if he/she knew the robbery was going to happen. This is true even if that person stayed in the car the entire time. If that robbery resulted in a murder due to “natural and probable consequences,” that getaway driver would be liable for murder under the “felony-murder rule,” as are the actual killers.

THE CHANGE IN THIS LAW For over 100 years, prosNOT ONLY HOLDS FAR FEWER ecutors, defense attorneys, judges, and juries all relied on CRIMINALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR the definition of those crimes THEIR ACTIONS BUT ALSO WILL and to whom they applied. Our reviewing courts, the Courts of RELEASE MANY CRIMINALS Appeal and California Supreme TO FREEDOM. Court, upheld countless accomplice convictions for those crimes, prior to January 1, 2019.

Think about those who are killed After Governor Brown signed Senate because of a gunshot, a stabbing, an Bill 1437 last year, the rules and laws of assault, a strangulation (as in domestic felony-murder and accomplice murder in violence cases), or a rape, and about those California changed. The worst part is that who suffered the death of a loved one due this law applies retroactively. Any prior to any crime. I can only imagine the fear, murder conviction that was not proven by the impotence of knowing that the assassin the new rules will be vacated (tossed out, like enjoyed minor consequences and could it never happened). be roaming the streets, putting them and This new law is not based on any deci- everyone else in the community at risk. sion by a state or federal court.

DID YOU KNOW

Fleas are highly-adapted parasites that live on blood. They belong to the order of insects called Siphonaptera, which means “wingless siphon.” It was the humble flea that spread the Black Death in Medieval Europe and the bubonic plague pandemics. The flea has claimed more lives than all of the wars that have ever been fought.

he 2019 Independent Dance and Theater Awards took place at Ensemble

Theatre Company’s New Vic on Monday, May 20. It was the first time that the event, also known as the Indys, has taken place in that wonderful venue and that the Santa Barbara Independent has combined its annual Dance and Theater Awards into a single ceremony. From high school musical singers to composers, designers, and directors, and from dramatic actors to choreographers and dancers, this was a night for recognizing the wide range of great things happening throughout the year on area stages. A woman, Tadja Enos, won for playing Hamlet, and a man, Alex Jaeger, won for dressing the male cast members of The Legend of Georgia McBride in drag. Classics such as Pride and Prejudice, The Magic Flute, and Death of a Salesman were honored; so were recent original works such as Heisenberg and “A” Train.

Most importantly, more than two dozen people gave gracious, charming, wonderful acceptance speeches full of gratitude and joy. From Christian Duarte, the recipient of the first statuette, to Anne Torsiglieri, who picked up the last yellow prize, the tone was consistently jubilant, even on those rare occasions when it got serious. William Blondell was particularly funny accepting on behalf of his father, John, for his direction of The Magic Flute. Somehow he managed to work the text of President Trump’s recent remarks in praise of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán into his description of his dad, who was directing in Kazakhstan the night of the awards. That will teach him to miss the Indys!

At intervals, three high school performers sang songs from their recent musicals, and when Emerging Artist winner Dallin McComb performed a rousing dance at the midway point of the evening, the actors in the house joined his fellow dancers in shouting their approval. Thanks to Jonathan Fox, who gave a very funny speech on behalf of two ETC winners who could not attend, for hosting this Santa Barbara institution in what was its most inclusive incarnation yet.

COURTESY KIRKWOOD COLLECTION

The Kirkwood Collection started with a family conversation around the dinner table in 2010. Kirkwood, at the time a marketing executive at 20th Century Fox, caught the hospitality bug from producers who’d done well investing in real estate and from Los Angeles developer Rick Caruso, who had an office nearby. Kirkwood admired how Caruso was trying to bring a high-end residential feel to the commercial setting of the new Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito.

“We were making the same bet, but with a lot fewer zeros,” he explained.

The $10,000 of family money Kirkwood pooled together nine years ago has since grown into $22 million in assets. The boutique luxury niche isn’t for everyone, he admitted, but that’s also the point. “If you build something for everybody, you build it for nobody,” he said. “My marketing mentor at Fox always used to tell me that.” The Hideaway is for the discerning traveler who wants a little more character, comfort, and flair out of their stay, he said. “It’s a home away from home.”

Natural light is the Hideaway Santa Barbara’s defining feature, with big windows and skylights letting in the Central Coast sun. There are views of the Santa Ynez Mountains, and the breakfast room, lit by tripleheight windows, doubles as a co-working space during the day. The guest rooms each have a wine cooler minifridge and are furnished with a modern, coastal aesthetic. The grand opening is June 15 and nightly rates start at $350.

here’s a new type of hotel out there, one that combines all the good parts of pampered travel (think Apple TVs and fireplaces), with the homey touches of a traditional bed and breakfast (like an actual breakfast). They’re called boutique luxury hotels, and one is about to open a few blocks from West Beach on Montecito Street.

Housed in a converted 1908 California craftsman, the nine-room Hideaway Santa Barbara is the fifth property operated by the Culver City–based Kirkwood Collection, which recently took over and spruced up the Blue Sands Inn on East Beach. Their other locations are in Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, and San Luis Obispo, and operator Alex Kirkwood has his eye on two more Santa Barbara buildouts with dreams of expanding into Solvang and Ojai. “This is where we want to be,” he said.

urassic Park, eat your heart out. Nine grunting, growling animatronic dinosaurs have descended on the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History for its Prehistoric Forest exhibit, which just opened in the museum’s back yard. A Tyrannosaurus rex lurks among the ferns while an ankylosaurus mother tends to her young in the underbrush. An armored stegosaurus swings its spiny tail nearby.

“It’s a really exciting time for dinosaur paleontology,” said resident paleontologist Jonathan Hoffman. “Scientists are publishing newly discovered species at the rate of almost one per week.” Other neat new findings on how dinos actually looked and sounded millions of years ago have been incorporated into the exhibit.

Researchers, for instance, used CT scans of a fossilized parasaurolophus skull crest to model its air passage and figure out what kinds of sounds the species would have emitted. And by studying how the small bones on a triceratops connected to its soft tissue, they figured out that its face was mostly covered in keratin, like a bird’s beak. The exhibit runs through Labor Day. Meanwhile, back across the creek, the museum

is also now hosting its first full-length run of Butterflies Alive! following the complete renovation of the butterfly pavilion. On display are local species as well as more exotic varieties, including swallowtails, longwings, and White Peacocks. Inside the Santa Barbara Gallery is the emergence chamber, where guests can watch butterflies crawl from their chrysalides and dry their wings before they flutter into the pavilion.

s there anything better to brag about than being a world record holder? To count yourself as one is to say that you have done something so impressive, so ambitious or, let’s be honest, so weird that no one else in history has achieved it. The fastest mile ever run. The most T-shirts ever worn at one time. The most watermelons smashed with your skull.

This weekend, Santa Barbarans big and small will have a chance to join the ranks of true immortality. All you will have to do is walk backward for six and a half blocks on State Street, from Canon Perdido to a half block past Micheltorena. It’s not a race and no real skills are required other than showing up and not turning around (though a slight twist of the neck is permissible) while moving in reverse for one kilometer. The current record stands at 1,107 people.

“I’m not sure I know how this all got started,” laughed Cameron Benson recently when asked about his motivation for organizing the event. Like so many of us, Benson, who is the Creeks Division Manager for the City of Santa Barbara, was fascinated in his youth by the old encyclopedia-sized Guinness Book of World Records. And so, while waiting in a doctor’s office a little over a year ago, he stumbled upon a modern-day version of the book (now simply titled Guiness World Records) and dared to ask himself, “I wonder if there are any records in here that are actually beatable?” After flipping a few pages, he saw the current record-holding back-walk in India from 2014. As a longtime veteran of the State Street Mile, Benson knew immediately that getting over 1,100 participants downtown was possible. What he didn’t know, however, was just how difficult it would be to secure the blessings of the Guinness brain trust.

Fast-forward a year through a tedious amount of planning and strategizing, and all the various permits are now in place. The gatekeepers at Guinness have signed off, and Benson has worked with the State Street Mile organizers to piggyback on the 20th anniversary of their race held on the same day. Participants will walk through a gate, spin around backward, and begin a butt-first walk that no one will forget anytime soon. “I think Santa Barbara can do this,” said Benson with a touch of mischief. “We are going to need to get the numbers, but after that, it’s all about having fun and making some history.”

Serving the Santa Barbara Community since 1980.

READY, SET...: The author does his best not to scratch his new ride.

“I combine eastern wisdom with western practicality to help you create a meaningful and fulfilling life.”

My Maserati Does 190

S

omeone once told me that it’s best to be the second fastest driver on the road — you can quench your need for speed while the cop’s radar settles on the faster bloke blowing by you. Such nuggets of wisdom, however, were quickly gnawed up and spit out by the 2019 Maserati Ghibli S GranLusso, whose gas pedal I delicately squashed for seven glorious days in early April.

When you find yourself behind the wheel of the fastest car on the road, there’s an inherent obligation to embrace the opportunity, not squander your pole position. I’d never encourage dangerous driving, but eclipsing 100 before reaching the end of the empty freeway on-ramp is a g-force sensation that’s both thrilling to all ages and rather innocuous. While the Maserati’s speedometer topped out at 190 mph, such

potential isn’t just for going fast — it crowns you master of the road, able to pass anything with a brief roar of the engine or silently slip away onto a sudden side street with grace.

I’ve driven pickups my whole life, but I’m no stranger to fast or fancy cars. I passed my driving test in my dad’s 1987 Ford Mustang, then got to whip from San Jose and Santa Cruz in that convertible during high school. I wrote about driving the first line of the retro-design Thunderbirds, turning many heads in Montecito back in 2002, and I once jammed East Camino Cielo in a Lotus.

My Masi experience, though, was another level.

Unlike American muscle cars, which can feel fast at a grumbling 25 mph, this modern Euro sports car felt normal at 90, and pulsing to 110 didn’t feel much

different. Its power is wrapped in subtlety — a creamy white in color, it was far from a flashy spectacle. Comfort is key (though the back seats are pretty tight), and the tech is top of the line. Indeed, the best protection against speeding was using the cruise control and driver’s assist systems. The former adjusts to the traffic flow, and the latter can take complete control when on the freeway, though the dashboard beeps with anger if you take your hands off the wheel for five seconds.

Though the base model is $84,000, my model was $96,000, due in part to the $5,000 Bowers & Wilkins stereo system.

by Matt While scrolling the digital radio, I Kettmann stumbled upon the new Billie Eilish album — soon I was convinced that she dropped the album that week just for me and my Maserati. As her bass-heavy, sonically twisted sounds vibrated my inner core, the countryside flew by as I crested the Cuesta Grade at 100 mph on my way to appointments in Monterey.

Then there was the way people perceived me as a Maserati man. Nods of approval came from young Chicanos outside of Salinas and old white men in Montecito, homeless guys at Carrillo Street bus stops and teenage Sikh tourists on Cannery Row. There was special attention from valets at the Bacara and Miramar; unexpected deference from parking lot attendants, pedestrians, and drivers; and a sense of acceptance while cruising past the Pebble Beach mansions of 17-Mile Drive.

My wife wondered if I’d be sad to see it go when it was pickup day. “Nah, it’s just a car,” I replied. But then my Maserati did roll away, and a touch of remorse set in. I finally did what I’d avoided all week, throwing that Joe Walsh song “Life’s Been Good” on my radio. “My Maserati does 185,” we sang together. “I lost my license and now I don’t drive….”

Dog People Happier Than Cat People

ou may not like it. Heck, you may not even contribute to it.

But in today’s America, you simply can’t escape it: Most of our citizens shake out into two diametrically opposed camps and seem to be constantly squaring off — often neighbor against neighbor, even—squabbling through the same old debate with clenched fists, raised voices and closed minds, dismissing one another’s points of view as so much flapjaw hogwash.

I’m referring, of course, to our nation’s flawed but abiding two-pet system — and I ain’t talking donkeys and elephants.

For perhaps centuries, animal lovers have fought like cats and dogs over which is the better pet: the domesticated hound or the common housecat. Now, at long last (it’s been, like, millennia in dog years), a study finally settles one aspect of the quarrel: Dog owners are just happier than cat owners.

A survey by the respected General Social Survey revealed that 36 percent of people who own only dogs described themselves as “very happy”—while just 18 percent of folks who have only cats could say the same.

Now, I’ve never had a cat, and I’m not a huge fan of those I’ve met. But one has to wonder if the survey reveals causation or merely correlation. In other words: Are feline fans the sort of folks who secretly feel they deserve to be snubbed by aloof, spooky-eyed assassins — or do the cats make them unhappy?

My cat-owning friends say their sleek email: starshine@roshell.com little executioners bring them the carcasses of lizards, mice, birds, and even (stop it!) baby bunnies in various states of mutilation—or alive, maimed and terrified—and present them as “gifts.” Look, those people don’t have a real shot at happiness. Any animal that lacks the EQ to pick up on the cue, “Oh, god — NO! OH, MY GOD! GET IT OUT OF HERE! JESUS!” should be immediately reclassified as a non-pet and lured quickly out the back door with rare meat or live bait or whatever it takes.

I asked a clinical psychologist for some insight. “Dogs are more likely to make and hold eye contact than cats,” said Marilyn Freimuth from Fielding Graduate University here in town, “and eye contact increases oxytocin. This is the hormone related to feeling good, getting high, mother’s breastfeeding.” In other words, you’d be happy, too, if you were hopped up on puppy gaze.

Local therapist Kjell Rudestam had another theory: “There’s evidence that relationships contribute to our overall well-being,” he said, “and dogs have many ways of feeding that need, e.g., their dependence on us, the way they help us initiate relationships (a great way to meet people is to take your dog for a walk!), the way they seem to sense and relate to our emotional needs.” Plus, he points out, the greater variety of dog breeds and temperaments allows owners to find a match that suits their own personalities and lifestyles.

I’ve learned that cats are much easier pets than dogs: They’re quieter and cleaner. They eat less and live longer. And whereas dogs are shamelessly needy love-grubbers, cats can be cool loners. But … I wonder if being needed by a fiercely loyal pack animal gives us dog folks an undeniable sense of purpose that ultimately feeds our bliss.

With that said, it might very well be cats’ ease-of-ownership that makes them appealing pets for folks who are already struggling through life in the “not very happy” category. Also, previous studies have shown that cat owners tend to be more introverted or reserved than dog owners — so perhaps they’re simply less inclined to effuse to strangers that they’re “very happy!” on a pet survey.

It turns out there are more pet cats (94 million) in the United States than dogs (90 million), which may explain why we’re such a grumpy nation. But do you know what animal more Americans call a pet than either of these two furry would-be favorites?

Uncuddly, non-companiony, not-even-carcass-gifty freshwater fish (140 million!).

Survey says: “Very sad.”

As I sipped, the hotel’s sales and marketing director, Mia Thomas, explained that “djinn” is the ancient word for genie. “It speaks to the mischievous nature of the venue and the drinks,” said Thomas, who is excited about the hotel’s expansive events calendar, such as the monthly HOWL @ Djinn full-moon party.

BETTER THAN BUD LIGHT: The author reports that her first homebrew, a golden stout, was enjoyed by fellow UCSB students.

My First Homebrew

@ BYOB! B

y the time I got certified cicerone and beer writer

Brian Yaeger to try my first homebrew, the golden stout that I wrote about in the April 4 issue of this paper (independent.com/sb-loves-beer), my friends and I had already guzzled nearly all five gallons ourselves. For the most part, I had gotten positive feedback on the beer, which I crafted at the BYOB! homebrew shop (3445 State St.; 324-4690; byobsb.com) with help from the owners. My friends aren’t exactly beer buffs, but they’re not naive either. A resounding comment from one enthused fan was, “If I ordered it, I would drink it.”

While such compliments were all I needed, I wanted an expert opinion on my last few brews, so I took them to Yaeger, who’s teaching UCSB’s first-ever beer-tasting class. I’m also a student in his class, and what I’ve learned about homebrewing is that there are more things that can go wrong than things that can go right.

Thankfully, I’m pleased to report that Yaeger found only one major flaw in my brew: that it was over-primed, meaning too much priming sugar and yeast were in the bottles. This caused the beers to gush out when opened, causing the leftover beer in the bottle to be a bit overcarbonated. That said, I’ve had many say that it was an excellent first-time homebrew, and that it achieved a very pleasant balance that others claimed they couldn’t achieve until their eighth batch.

While it was certainly not the greatest golden stout ever concocted, my beer was also far from the worst, and it was very enjoyable to drink. There was definitely a halo effect surrounding my experience with the beer — I was quite proud of having made something to share — but I’d like to think that my friends would drink it over Bud Light any day.

waste. From ingredients to supplies to finished products, the entire supply chain of packaged food companies is very reliant on single-use plastics,” she explained.

Partnering with the Israeli company TIPA, Sun & Swell Foods dug their hands into compostable packaging. Nine months later, they launched their new packaging, becoming only one of two packaged-food companies to offer this environmentally conscious solution. They’re hoping to be fully transitioned by 2020.

Here are the flavors that you’ll soon find in those compostable bags:

PROUDLY SERVING SANTA BARBARA FOR OVER 40 YEARS

FOOD & DRINK

husband-and-wife founders Kate and Bryan Flynn, Sun & Swell Foods is quickly making a name for itself in the healthy-eating market. Though the couple has always been healthconscious, she struggled for nearly 20 years in her relationship with food. So when Kate finally kicked quick-fix diet fads in favor of whole foods, she never looked back.

“It was life-changing for me — I physically felt better than ever; I had more energy and a clear mind,” she explained. “And, most importantly, I mentally found food freedom. Eating was simple and enjoyable. Instead of viewing food as a necessary evil, I viewed it as a beautiful source of nourishment.”

Seeing where the packaged-food industry was headed, Kate knew she could find a way to profit off her passion. With skills in marketing, sales, and accounting—from which the couple had already built successful careers — they realized that creating a company was right up their alley.

A few months later, the Flynns packed up their San Francisco lives to settle in Santa Barbara, where they launched Sun & Swell Foods in September 2017. They’ve since transitioned from a small two-person company to overseeing more than 400 wholesale accounts, several employees, and a production facility.

Clean Cookie Bites: These vegan, gluten-free,

organic, bite-sized snacks are free of added sugars and preservatives, earning them the “clean” in their title. The cookies come in four flavors: Oatmeal Cacao Chip, Double Cacao, Espresso, and Lavender. Each cookie has a base of dates, cashews, and oats that’s spiced up with different combinations of cinnamon, cacao, espresso, lemon, and lavender to give each bite its custom flavor.

“In 2018, we started making the Clean Cookies because we felt the cookie category was lacking healthy options and we wanted to offer a healthy dessert,” Kate said.

Simple Snack Bites: “The Snack Bites were something I was making at home for myself,” said Kate, whose date and cashew bites satisfy when hunger strikes. From pre-workout energy to a grab-andgo breakfast, these 100-percent-organic snack bites will not only satisfy the taste buds but also keep you going throughout the day. The snack bites come in four flavors: Cinnamon, Cacao, Lemon Coconut, and Turmeric.

Nuts & Seeds: The roasted nut and seed mix is Sun & Swell’s answer to the savory demand. “We launched the Nut and Seed mix because we found it hard to find trail mixes on the market that didn’t have canola oil or added sugar in them,” said Kate.

The sugarless and oil-free mix of pumpkin seeds, pistachios, cashews, and sea salt provides a mix of textures and roasted flavors in each bite.

popular Mesa Burger restaurant has opened a second location at 7010 Marketplace Drive in Goleta, where Kahuna Grill called home for 17 years until it closed last February. Owners Chris Chiarappa, award-winning Chef Cat Cora, and general manager Pixie Saavedra opened the flagship Mesa Burger location at 315 Meigs Road in December 2016. Saavedra tells me that both restaurants have the same exact menu but may have a couple of different beers on tap.

Mesa Burger offers gourmet, handcrafted burgers, farm-fresh salads, locally brewed beers, Santa Barbara County wine, and ice cream in scoops, hand-spun shakes, and ice cream cookie sandwiches. Their produce is sustainably grown, ingredients are conscientiously sourced, and sauces are made fresh daily. The beef burgers are a fresh, USDA-Choice custom blend, served on a brioche bun. Mesa Burger also has a selection of turkey, chicken, fish, and vegan/vegetarian burgers.

Saavedra says that one of the most popular items on the menu is the Montecito Burger (glazed mushrooms/onion ring/arugula/grilled onions/ goat cheese/truffle aioli), second only to Mesa, their classic burger, which most people modify.

Other burgers include Downtown (grilled onions/ fried jalapeños/blue cheese/sriracha yogurt sauce), Mission (pico de gallo/butter lettuce/pickled jalapeño/tortilla strips/Pepper Jack cheese/ black bean aioli), Leadbetter (sliced red onions/ grilled pineapple salsa/crushed avocado/lettuce/ ginger teriyaki), Shoreline (veggie patty/pickled red onions/spinach/salsa verde/red pepper hummus), Hope Ranch (grilled chicken breast/bacon/ lettuce/tomato/Swiss cheese/pesto aioli), Funk Zone (fried egg/bacon/roasted tomato/cheddar cheese/barbeque sauce), Goodland (sliced bratwurst/crispy onion strings/bacon/cheddar cheese/ smoked barbeque sauce), and Harbor (daily catch fish/coleslaw/tomato-olive spread/Mesa Burger sauce). Prices range from $10 to $14 and include fries. Visit mesaburger.com.

entist of wine Bryan Babcock to be one of the Santa Barbara producers eager to bring back cabernet franc after a virus wiped out most of this region’s vines in the 1990s. The new stock led to Bright Fortune, this ripe and delicious red there isn’t enough of.

Cab franc is actually one of cabernet sauvignon’s genetic parents, but its sophisticated sibling probably thinks of dad as a country bumpkin. A bit more rustic, it’s a people’s wine, if not quite a pauper’s at $35, with a hearty, pleasing mouthfeel, layers of dark blackberry and damson plum jam fruit, and a rooted earth and spice core that keeps you coming back to the glass.

Plus, you get a Haruki Murakami quote on the bottle as a bonus.

THE MANY FACES OF BRAIN INJURY IN THE SANTA BARBARA COMMUNITY Jodi House is the only nonprofit organization in Santa Barbara County that is solely dedicated to supporting brain injury survivors in their continued recovery and ongoing rehabilitation.

A BRAIN INJURY CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. AN ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURY IS AN INJURY TO THE BRAIN THAT HAPPENS AFTER BIRTH.

The causes of acquired brain injury are diverse and may include:

During the chaotic and confusing days, weeks, or months in the ER, hospital, or inpatient rehabilitation, it is extremely difficult to comprehend what life with a brain injury will be like. Yet, once the medical professionals have finished their lifesaving work, survivors

Car accidents

and their families are usually left to cope on their own with the life-changing and, often, lifelong emotional, behavioral, and social effects of the injury.

The severity of a brain injury may range from mild to severe and can cause a wide range of changes including: - Cognitive Effects - Physical Effects - Emotional Effects - Behavioral Effects

Assaults and Falls

Tumors and Strokes

That’s where Jodi House steps in. Jodi House helps brain injury survivors reclaim their lives, and helps families and caregivers find solutions, resources, and support.

JODI HOUSE PROGRAMS Jodi House empowers brain injury survivors to not merely survive, but thrive. No one is ever turned away from Jodi House because of the inability to pay.

Day Program Our Day Program consists of classes that aim to improve cognitive, physical, and social functioning after brain injury. From Restorative Yoga and Mindfulness Meditation, to Memory Strategies, Communication Skills, Art Therapy, and Percussion, our classes empower members in their continued recovery.

Case Management Case management provides members the opportunity to receive additional support with their individual recovery goals. Goals may include securing housing, finding employment, connecting with medical providers, and applying for benefits.

Mental Health Counseling Introduced in early 2019, members now have access to mental health services at Jodi House to address the complex social and emotional challenges they may face after experiencing a brain injury.

Caregiver Support Services Jodi House provides critical support to caregivers by offering a stimulating and enriching program for their loved ones to attend each day. Counseling is also available to caregivers.

THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS Jodi House completes the continuum of care for brain injury survivors by providing ongoing support following their discharge from the hospital or in-patient rehabilitation. Referrals to Jodi House are continuously made by many local medical providers and social service agencies, including Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital.

Member Story: Meet Jeff Jeff experienced a severe brain injury after a near-fatal car accident. Once medical rehabilitation services ended, his family could find very few resources for continued support in their home state of Illinois.

After learning about Jodi House online, Jeff’s family took a trip to California to see the program firsthand. Finding no other programs quite like it, they made the lifechanging decision to uproot themselves and move across the country in January 2018 so that Jeff could attend Jodi House. With the help of daily classes focused on cognition, mobility, and emotional wellness, Jeff has made great strides in his recovery at Jodi House.

His speech and communication have improved; he has greater control over his emotions and impulses; and he is now able to walk longer distances. In addition, Jodi House has provided Jeff’s family with the respite that enables them to continue their daily activities and feel supported as full-time caregivers.

Message from the Executive Director Thank you for taking the opportunity to learn more about Jodi House’s mission to empower brain injury survivors to thrive.

Since our humble beginnings in 1982, Jodi House has grown to become the primary source of support for brain injury survivors and their families in the Tri-Counties.

structured, evidence-based program. As one of only seven sites statewide to receive funding from the California Department of Rehabilitation, we are recognized as a leading model of support in the field of brain injury.

We continue to grow and flourish with the private charitable support of the Santa Barbara community – the very community in which we were founded nearly 40 years ago. Thank you for your continued partnership that makes our work possible.

ing it led me to seek an opportunity to hear Hannigan perform in person. When I did manage to catch up with her at the Tonhalle, Zürich, in April of 2017, she blew me away with her conducting and singing of Berg and her conducting of Stravinsky, Debussy, and Ligeti.

All that and more will be on display over the four nights of the Ojai Music Festival.

Thursday evening’s concert features a complete performance of Stravinsky’s opera The Rake’s Progress. Hannigan will conduct and the young soprano Aphrodite Patoulidou will sing the role of Ann Truelove, which happens to be the first major operatic role that Hannigan performed when she was 23.

That evening, Hannigan returns to the Libbey Bowl stage for a two-part concert featuring major works by Arnold Schoenberg, among others. In the first half, Hannigan will join the JACK Quartet for Schoenberg’s String Quartet No. 2. In the second, she will conduct a program that includes Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht.. Even for those already familiar with these two modernist milestones, this program represents a chance to hear them in the idiom of a musician with a singular gift for musical storytelling.

Saturday’s midday program, always an

exquisite pleasure in the tranquil natural surroundings of the Libbey Bowl, offers a tribute to Oliver Knussen (Ojai music director in 2005) paired with a work by his student, Mark-Anthony Turnage, and a rare symphonic tone poem by Sergei Rachmaninoff called The Isle of the Dead. The Saturday evening program promises to be one of the festival’s most memorable, as Hannigan will perform alongside members of Equilibrium, the 20-singer set of emerging musicians that she has mentored over the last two years.

She will open the concert with a piece by John Zorn for soprano and piano, and then proceed to direct folk songs gathered by the members of Equilibrium from around the world and organized under the rubric “Rites of Passage.” The finale of Saturday evening’s concert is the Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil of French composer Gérard Grisey.

These four meditations on life at the threshold of death were the last things written by Grisey, a composer in the “spectralist” vein of Kaija Saariaho, whose work was so central to the Ojai Music Festival under music director Peter Sellars in 2016.

Asked about her approach to the daunting task of directing such a prestigious and complex festival, Hannigan wrote that “planning the Ojai programming … has been joyful, difficult, exhilarating, scary, and most of all, a deep journey into music that I love and want to share with others.” She went on to emphasize her delight in anticipating the kind of listeners who have remained loyal to this international institution, adding that, “having been to Ojai during festival time, I’ve sensed the vibe of the audience and their open and curious ears and hearts and I look forward to our collective energies coming together for four days of really great music!”

PACIFIC PRIDE FEST

POSTER CONTEST

On June 28, 1969, Christopher Street in New York City’s Greenwich Village erupted in violence when police raided the gay bar Stonewall Inn. The event was a turning point in history, as it led to the first Gay Pride marches one year later. For this year’s Pacific Pride Festival, which takes place Saturday, August 24, at Chase Palm Park, the theme is “Stand with Stonewall,” and Santa Barbara’s Pacific Pride Foundation is asking for design submissions for a poster contest. “We have such a creative and inspiring local art scene, and we wanted to provide an opportunity to showcase art as action,” said PPF Executive Director Colette Schabram in a prepared statement.

For your work to be considered, you must submit an 8.5-inches-wide by 8-inches-high original art piece/design by Saturday, June 1. Only digital files will be accepted in the following formats: PDF, AI, PSD, or INDD. Three finalists will be posted on the nonprofit’s Instagram, from which the community will vote the contest winner. Email submissions to jackie@pacificpridefoundation.org. For more information, see pacificpridefoundation.org.

“Isla Negra #02 - It Is Born” by Mary Heebner

MARY HEEBNER

PAINTS PABLO NERUDA POEMS “I need the sea because it teaches me,” reads the first line of Pablo Neruda’s poem, “The Sea.” It’s a sentiment many Santa Babarans can relate too, as does area painter Mary Heebner. In fact, she was so moved by the Nobel Prize–winning Chilean’s works that she created a fine-art book pairing her vibrant paintings with selected poems.

Inspired by a visit to the Neruda museum in Isla Negra, Chile, Heebner put brush to canvas to create her Isla Negra series of paintings.

“Returning to my studio … I summoned up memories of the wooden figureheads, some with dolefully glass eyes, that stared out to sea from NeruMary Heebner da’s window,” Heebner explains on her website. “I saturated sheets of handmade Torinoko paper with puddles of indigo pigment.

Latent shapes emerged from these little seas of color. … I wanted to couple these paintings with poems that Neruda had written about the sea.” She pored through volumes of Neruda’s poetry to find the ones that best harmonized with her paintings. Then Heebner created 50 original, limited-edition books using handmade linen paper, letterpress-printed poems, and prints of the paintings.

Now folks can take a peek at Heebner’s objet d’art in an exhibit currently on display at City Hall Gallery. Titled On the Blue Shore of Silence: Poems of the Sea by Pablo Neruda, the show comprises a copy of the book, 12 framed folios, an original painting from the Isla Negra series, and illustrated didac didactic panels.

e are living in a golden age for classical music, and no one exemplifies this extraordinary moment more emphatically than Barbara Hannigan, the music director of the 2019 Ojai Music Festival, which runs June 6-9 at the Libbey Bowl.

A brilliant and daring soprano, she began her career as a singer, adding conducting to her repertoire in 2011. Since then she has detonated previous expectations for sopranos by performing in opera, orchestral, and chamber music settings while developing a singular career as a new kind of multitasking musician—the singing conductor. As music director of the Ojai Festival, Hannigan will spread what she has learned from her broad and innovative practice over four days and nights with the help of a spectacular cast of fellow musicians, including the JACK Quartet and a Dutch orchestra called Ludwig.

Hannigan first came to many listeners’ attention in 2018, after her 2017 album, Crazy Girl Crazy, won the Grammy for Best Classical Solo Vocal recording. Working with Ludwig and the composer/arranger Bill Elliott, Hannigan brought music by Alban Berg and Luciano Berio together with the songs of Ira and George Gershwin to create something that was both decidedly new and totally Hannigan. Those interested in hearing her sing the Gershwin songs live should book their tickets for Sunday afternoon’s festival finale now.

My Barbara Hannigan experience began a little earlier with a piece written for her by Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen called “let me tell you.” It’s based on a book by Paul Griffiths that is, in its turn, based on the words spoken by Ophelia in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. This incredibly beautiful work won the prestigious Grawemeyer Award for musical composition in 2016, and hear-

DAN TEDESCO SINGS ‘AMERICAN DARKNESS’

JUNE

22 SAT

by Richie DeMaria

SURF ROCK CITY: As June can sometimes be gloomy here, a few area acts will freshen up the week with very danceable sounds inspired by the tides. At the Mercury Lounge (5871 Hollister Ave., Goleta), surf rockers Kelp and BlackBall Bandits will make the first Thursday of the month a good one out in Goleta on Thursday, June 6, starting at 9 p.m. Expect a smile-widening night of fun, energized music inspired by all things surf, sea, and even science fiction.

At SOhO, the irrepressible Clean Spill (see their Independent Side Notes session at independent.com/clean-spill) returns to the S.B. stage with more deliciously good rock sculpted by surf and skate cultures on Saturday, June 8. A musical favorite on the competitive surf circuit, the band has been in the recent process of adding some new grit and distortion to its sound, widening its sonic beaches. Hear them with San Francisco surf rockers Beauty Queen beginning at 9 p.m.

ZIMMERMAN’S THE MAN: Make your weekend a jazzy one on Saturday, June 8, when Dan and the ZimmerMen ease you into the evening, beginning at 5 p.m., at SOhO. Famed for his guitar prowess, the man known as Dan Zimmerman is framed by his excellent and skilled trio, who together form the ZimmerMen. Enjoy the early show as a way to segue into the night. n

DARKNESS AND LIGHT: When Dan Tedesco plays at SOhO Restaurant & Music C lub’s Si nge rSongwriter Night on Tuesday, June 11, he’ll be singing songs from his new album, American Darkness.. Released in May of this year, the album was mostly written during the lat-ter half of 2016, a tumultuous period of time that hardly anyone remembers fondly. Fittingly, Tedesco’s album is replete with alternative rock numbers, a melting pot of somber, wistful, and hopeful, evoking artists such as Tom Petty and R.E.M. American Darkness is largely a letter to future generations, both entrusting and cautionary. Songs like “Before You Were Born” were directly inspired by “the birth of my daughter, and the perspective switch that happens when you become a parent,” Tedesco said. “It’s addressed to the youth, the kids, in our country. A huge theme on not just this song but the whole record is youth. The promise of youth. The future they represent and our responsibility to them.” Raising her, he said, “provides me with a regular reminder of the positivity in the world, and of the possibilities that are always around us if we’re willing to look at them.”

While American Darkness delves into certain American destitutions and sadness, Tedesco finds a lot of light there still. “It is certainly not something to be overwhelmed by, or to allow it to overshadow the really incredible things about America,” he said of America’s shadow sides. “I think it’s crucial to maintain a healthy, informed perspective. An awareness of what’s going on.”

Living in Iowa, he’s seen firsthand the winds of change blow away older ways of living and working. “It’s definitely given me a front seat in watching the post-industrial America sort itself out,” Tedesco said of residing in Des Moines. “Over the years, I’ve played in a lot of towns that were once heavily supported by the manufacturing industry, and as those jobs have gone away and that landscape has changed, those cities have slowly been redefining themselves. I’ve lived in Des Moines for five years, and in that short time it’s been incredible to see the development of this city, which, again, is similar to many other towns throughout the Midwest. That persistence to carve a new identity is a deeply American quality.”

a&e | FILM & TV Biggest Little Farm

MOVIE GUIDE

Edited by Michelle Drown

See metrotheatres.com/santabarbara for this week’s showtimes.

SPECIAL SCREENING Toy Story (81 mins., G) Reintroduce yourself to Buzz Lightyear, Sheriff Woody, and the rest of Andy’s toys in Pixar’s 1995 film, the first in the soon-to-be four-part Toy Story franchise. (Toy Story 4 hits theaters later in June.) The screening is part of SBIFF’s Applebox series. Admission is free.

Riviera (Sat., Jun. 1, 10 a.m.)

NOW SHOWING Aladdin (128 mins., PG) Will Smith plays Genie (voiced fabulously by Robin Williams in the 1992 animated film) in this updated, liveaction version of the folktale One Thousand and One Nights. The story remains the same: Aladdin (Mena Massoud) falls in love with Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott), finds a magic lamp, and frees Genie; mayhem ensues.

All Is True (101 mins., PG-13) Kenneth Branagh directs this historical-fiction film about Shakespeare’s (Branagh) return to Stratford, with his wife, Anne (Judi Dench), in tow, after the Globe Theatre goes up in flames during a performance of Henry VIII in 1613.

Festival was The Biggest Little Farm, a fascinating documentary on the humble beginnings, struggles, and ultimate success story of Apricot Lane Farms in Moorpark. Urban refugee filmmaker John Chester rolled camera(s), extensively and obsessively, on the project he undertook with his wife, Molly, tracing the radical transformation of a neglected plot of land in Ventura County into a wildly diversified farm — now a model of sustainability worthy of visitor tours. Sidestepping the “dry doc” syndrome, the film depicts their so-far seven-year adventure and arc of selfeducation with seductive visuals and an engaging dramatic moxie. On the sonic front, Jeff Beal’s Disney-fied orchestral music seems all wrong for such a literally organic tale, which cries out for something acoustic and rootsy. That quibble aside, The Biggest Little Farm charms and inspires with an epic DIY story from deep inside the 805. (JW) Riviera

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (132 mins., PG-13)

The second film in the Godzilla franchise, King of the Monsters sees the ancient super-species — Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and the three-headed King Ghidorah — vying to be the supreme monster, as humankind gets trampled in the wake.

Ma (99 mins., R) Octavia Spencer stars as the titular Ma, a recluse who begins offering her home as a place for local teens to party. What begins as a dream for the young revelers turns into a nightmare of horrific proportions. Luke Evans, Juliette Lewis, and Missi Pyle also star.

Photograph (110 mins., PG-13) Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sanya Malhotra star in this young-adult romance/ drama about a Mumbai street photographer (Siddiqui) who tries to convince one of his subjects, Miloni (Malhotra), to pose as his fiancée so his grandmother will stop pressuring him to marry.

Brightburn

Brightburn (90 mins., R) David Yarovesky directs this horror film about a couple, Tori (Elizabeth Banks) and Kyle (David Denman), who find a baby boy and raise him as their own. As the boy, Brandon, hits his tween years, he begins to change from a sweet kid to a vicious predator.

Rocketman (121 mins., R) Taron Egerton stars as Elton John in this biopic/musical about the singer/songwriter’s early years at the Royal Academy of Music and eventual partnership with lyricist Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell).

Avengers: Endgame (180 mins., PG-13) Avengers: Infinity War ended with Thanos (Josh Brolin) having killed half of all life across the universe, including several Avengers. In Endgame, the surviving Avengers regroup for a final attempt to defeat Thanos.

➤ O Booksmart

(102 mins., R)

This film gives the sense that the kids very much are all right. Driven and ambitious, Molly and Amy spent their high school days hitting the books, following the rules, and being best friends.

Their hard work pays off: Molly is Yalebound and Amy got into Columbia.

The day before graduation, Molly finds that classmates she originally dismissed as losers, hookers, and stoners also got into top schools. For the rest of the day, Molly and Amy are determined to change their high school narratives and chase down party after party to prove that they too are both smart and fun.

By breaking high school stereotypes and cultural assumptions, traditionally underrepresented voices and identities are not only less marginalized but embraced. It is this background that makes it possible to empower young women like Molly and Amy to take risks and explore the nuances of coming of age. (EC)

their money. The story arc felt rather formulaic, as the two leads initially dislike each other only to find friendship in their common goal of grifted wealth.

Although the talented actresses have undeniable chemistry, the filmic effort falls flat in sloppy moments of mid-level humor that often come at the crude expense of Wilson. Despite this, the film is still a fun and entertaining experience that positively contributes to the trend of strong-female-driven cinema. (MPG) John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum (131 mins., R) Keanu Reeves reprises his role as John Wick, a notorious hitman, for this third installment of the franchise. In this film, Wick has a $14-million contract on his head and so becomes the target for assassins from around the globe. Halle Berry and Laurence Fishburne also Long Shot (125 mins., R) This rom-com stars Seth Rogen as a free-spirited journalist who unexpectedly hits it off with his former babysitter and first crush (Charlize Theron), now one of the most influential women in the world. When she decides to make a run for the presidency, she hires him on a whim to be her speechwriter—much to her advisers’ dismay.

O Non-Fiction

(108 mins., R)

Affairs of the heart and loins and the rapidly changing state of publishing in the digital age become the dominant touchpoints of this shamelessly talky

but wickedly fun number from writer/ director Olivier Assayas. Alain (Guillaume Canet) is a publisher, an ostensibly suave bourgeois figure and spouse of Selena (Juliette Binoche), who is playing cat and mouse with a bohemian “auto-fiction” writer, Léonard (Vincent Macaigne). Much is read between the script’s furious flow of lines, which can sometimes nudge the film to the verge of melodrama. But it keeps retreating in a blur of ideas, as well as bitchy intellectual conversation and speculation on, for example, existential matters, the volatile book market, and who’s zooming who. Beneath the surface buzz of chatter and bedroom antics, it’s clear that the filmmakers are having ironic-insider fun with the piece, as when Alain mentions excitedly that he has asked Juliette Binoche to read a book on tape, a connection made by his wife, played by …

Binoche. (JW) Riviera

(June 21-July 22): I’ve got a message for you from Can-

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A Libran blogger named OceanAl-

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Is there a creature on earth that’s more annoying than the mosquito? I’ve never heard anyone gaze upon one of the pesky monsters sucking blood out of her arm and say, “Aw, what a cute little bug.” And yet every year there is a town in Russia that holds a jokey three-day celebration in honor of the mosquito. The people who live in Berezniki even stage a “most delicious” competition, in which people allow themselves to be pricked by mosquitoes for 20 minutes, with an award going to whoever accumulates the most bites.

I highly approve of the spirit of this approach for your own use in the coming weeks, Capricorn. If you have fun with the things that bother you, I bet they won’t bother you as much.

good sense for you to travel down winding paths replete with interesting twists and provocative turns.

The zigzags you’ll be inspired to pursue won’t be inconvenient or inefficient, but rather will be instrumental in obtaining the healing you need. To honor and celebrate this oddly lucky phase, I’ll quote parts of “Flying Crooked,” a poem by Robert Graves. “The butterfly will never master the art of flying straight, yet has a just sense of how not to fly: He lurches here and here by guess and God and hope and hopelessness. Even the acrobatic swift has not his flyingcrooked gift.”

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Has a part of you become too timid,

docile, or prosaic? Is there an aspect of your beautiful soul that is partially muzzled, submissive, or housebroken? If so, now is a favorable time to seek an antidote. But listen closely: the cure isn’t to become chaotic, turbulent, and out of control. It would be counterproductive to resort to berserk mayhem.

Here’s a better way: be primal, lush, and exciting.

Be wildly playful and unpredictably humorous and alluringly intriguing. Try experiments that rouse your rowdy sweetness, your unkempt elegance, your brazen joy, and your sensual intelligence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I prefer live theater over movies.

The glossy flawlessness of films, accomplished by machines that assemble and polish, is less emotionally rich than the direct impact of live performers’ unmediated voices and bodies and emotions. Their evocative imperfections move me in ways that glossy flawlessness can’t. Even if you’re not like me, Gemini, I invite you to experiment with my approach for a while — not just in the entertainment you choose, but in all areas of your life. As much as possible, get your experience raw and unfiltered.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s the Forever Season, Aquarius. You

have a poetic license to act as if your body will live for a hundred years and your soul will live for all eternity. You are authorized to believe that in the coming decades, you will grow steadily wiser, kinder, happier, and wilder.

During the Forever Season, you may have dreams like flying over a waterfall at sunset, or finding the lost magic you were promised before you were born, or discovering the key to a healing you feared would always elude you.

As you careen through this unpredictable grace period, your understanding of reality may expand dramatically.

I bet you’ll get practical epiphanies about how to express yourself with greater effectiveness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): A musical historian from Cambridge

University decided it would be amusing to perform forgotten songs that were written in the Rhineland a thousand years ago. His research wasn’t easy, because musical notation was different back then. But he ultimately reconstructed the tunes in ways that he felt were 80 percent faithful to the originals. He and other musicians subsequently performed and recorded them. I propose a somewhat comparable assignment for you in the coming weeks, Pisces. You will benefit, I believe, from trying to recover the truth about events that occurred a long time ago and/or by trying to revivify old beauty that has new relevance.

HEARING DATE AND TIME:

Monday, June 10, 2019 at 6:00PM

HEARING LOCATION:

City of Goleta City Hall Council Chambers 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, CA 93117

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FINDINGS: A Notice of Exemption has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et. seq.), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations, §§ 15000, et. seq.), and the City’s Environmental Review Guidelines. The City of Goleta is acting as the Lead Agency for this project. Pursuant to Sections 15061(b)(3) and Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines, the proposed General Plan conformity determination does not constitute a “project” for the purposes of CEQA because the determination will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the environment.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY: In addition to the CEQA Exemption, the Planning Commission will review and take action on a General Plan Conformity Determination in accordance with Government Code Section 65402 associated with the City’s purchase of a portion of one parcel. The 2.04-acre portion of the parcel being purchased by the City currently includes an approximately 40,000-square foot office building. Once purchased, the City intends to continue to use the existing building for administrative city hall functions.

PROJECT LOCATION: The Project site is located at 130 Cremona Drive, Goleta Ca, 93117, County of Santa Barbara on the approximately 2.04 acres of the eastern portion of APN 073-330-014 in the Inland Zoning area of the City.

CORTESE LIST: The site is not listed on any hazardous waste facilities or disposal sites as enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the California Government Code (the “Cortese list”) DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: The hearing documents and all documents referenced therein may be obtained at the City of Goleta, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117. The Planning Commission staff report will be posted at least 72 hours prior to the hearing on the City’s web site at www.cityofgoleta.org.

PUBLIC COMMENT: All interested persons are encouraged to attend the meeting and to present written and/or oral comments. Written submittals concerning this project may be emailed to Joe Pearson II, Associate Planner, e-mail: Jpearson@cityofgoleta.org; or mail: Attn: Planning Commission at 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, California 93117. In order to be disseminated to the Planning Commission for consideration during the meeting, written information must be submitted no later than Monday by noon prior to the Planning Commission meeting.

Materials received after this time may not be reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to the meeting.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Additional information is on file at the Planning and Environmental Review Department, Goleta City Hall, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117. Contact Joe Pearson II, Associate Planner at 805-961-7573 or Jpearson@cityofgoleta.org.

Note: If you challenge the City’s final action on this project in court, you may be limited to only those issues you or someone else raised in written or oral testimony and/or evidence provided to Planning and Environmental Review on or before the date of the hearing (Government Code Section 65009(b)[2]).

The City Council of the City of Goleta passed and adopted Ordinance No. 19-09 at a regular meeting held on the 21st day of May 2019, by the following vote: AYES: MAYOR PEROTTE, MAYOR PRO COUNCILMEMBERS ACEVES, KASDIN AND KYRIACO NOES:

The original Project, as approved in 2011-2018, was also reduced, and now includes: 1) the extension of South Street (S. Kellogg Avenue) westward to connect as Fowler Road to the existing Technology Drive (School Bus Lane) to S. Kellogg Avenue, known as the Fowler Road Extension (the originally planned Fowler Road crossing over Old San Jose Creek and roundabout at S. Fairview Avenue will not be constructed); 2) the extension of Ekwill Street from the existing S. Kellogg Avenue to S. Fairview Avenue (Ekwill Street Extension, including a roundabout at the intersection of proposed Ekwill Street and existing Pine Avenue); 3) the installation of roundabouts and other roadway improvements in the vicinity of the Hollister Avenue and State Route 217 interchange (Hollister Avenue Improvements). The originally planned Kellogg Avenue improvements (new northbound right turn lane for S. Kellogg Avenue onto Hollister Avenue) have been removed from this project and added to another capital improvement project for Hollister Avenue, outside the Coastal Zone.

The Project also includes construction of a portion of the Old San Jose Creek trail along Ekwill Street, as outlined in the Biological Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (BMMP). The BMMP involves three sites that would provide 4.78 acres of riparian habitat restoration area. Two small sites are located near the Ekwill Street and Fowler Road project areas, and 3.98 acres would be restored near the Northwestern Tributary of Devereaux Creek on Ellwood Mesa. The Addendum analyzes the environmental impacts of the BMMP. The Planning Commission hearing will be held as follows: HEARING LOCATION:

Goleta City Hall, Council Chambers 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117

HEARING DATE/TIME

Monday, June 10, 2019 at 6:00 pm

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FINDINGS: The Addendum has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15164, et seq.). The Addendum identifies and discusses potential impacts associated with the reduced project size and the Biological Mitigation and Monitoring Plan and concludes the project would not exceed those impacts identified in the original project Final EIR and therefore would have no new significant environmental effects beyond those identified in the original Final EIR. CORTESE LIST: Further, the site is not listed on any hazardous waste facilities or disposal sites as enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the California Government Code (the “Cortese list”).

RICHARDS,

Any interested person may obtain a copy of the proposed ordinance at the City Clerk’s Office, City Hall, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, California 93117 or by calling City Hall at (805) 961-7505.
