he courtroom showdown between Southern California Edison and the hundreds of plaintiffs suing the company for damages sustained during 2017’s Thomas Fire and January 2018’s subsequent debris flow has been scheduled for April 6, 2020, in Los Angeles Superior Court. The utility company fought unsuccessfully to hold off scheduling the trial — which promises to be epic in scope, scale, and the stakes involved — until next November. Trial setting, said attorney Joseph Liebman — part of a legal team representing about 600 plaintiffs — may seem an esoteric and technical detail, but to attorneys looking to possible settlements, it functions as the opening bell. Liebman’s crew is just one of six teams of attorneys — with maybe as many as 200 combined — representing about 2,000 plaintiffs. Those numbers, however, do not include the public agencies like the City and County of Santa Barbara, which are pursuing legal actions of their own. All these multiple actions have been assigned to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel Buckley, whose job it is to sort

all this out. Liebman explained that Judge Buckley will not hear all of his 600 clients’ cases, but rather will deliberate over several “bellwether” cases that typify the legal issues involved. Although CalFire has issued determination finding SoCal Edison responsible for the fire, the utility company has objected and is still contesting this determination. Unlike PG&E to the north — which has filed for bankruptcy protections — Edison has made no intimations of following suit. Edison, like PG&E, has notified customers that they may be facing temporary power outages in the future should temperatures and wind speeds achieve critical mass digits to reduce the threat of wildfire caused when power lines find tree branches blown up against them. In the lawsuit brought by Liebman’s team, Montecito Water District has also been named as a defendant, the allegation being that water released from district pipes during the debris flow contributed in significant fashion to the damages suffered. The water district has vigorously denied those allega—Nick Welsh tions.

OUT OF SIGHT: The building would be located behind one of Sanctuary Center’s two existing apartment complexes, a two-story, eight-unit complex on the front of Anapamu — allowing the five-story building to be “hidden” away from street view.

Sanctuary Center Moves Forward

lose to 200 people filled the City Council chamber last Thursday and gave a standing ovation after the Planning Commission unanimously passed a motion to allow the Sanctuary Centers of Santa Barbara’s proposed five-story mixed-use building at 115 West Anapamu Street to exceed the city’s 45-foot height limit, giving it up to 60 feet of leeway. The emotionally charged meeting detailed the need for the approximately 34 residential apartments for adults with mental-illness and substanceabuse disorders as well as nonresidential space for support services and offices. Sanctuary Centers currently offers health care to low-income clients at a small clinic on the site of the proposed building, with one exam room for mental-health care and another for dental care. The new firstfloor setup would give three exam rooms each to both mental and dental care. Floors two and three of the building will contain smaller studio units, and floors four and five will contain larger units for the elderly or handicapped in need of 24-hour care, with an additional communal living area and communal kitchen. The building is being proposed under the Average Unit-size Density (AUD) Incentive Program and the city’s Density Bonus Program.

“Every time one of our clients graduated from the program and tried to rent in the community, they were told, ‘Sorry, we really don’t want you in our building,’” said Sanctuary Centers’ president, Barry Schoer, whose comments outlined the demonstrated need for the project, one of the four findings required to allow the height exemption. All five voting commissioners agreed that the four required findings — the others being that the project has an exemplary design, is “liveable,” and complements the neighboring properties’ setting and character—were present. Sheila Lodge was the only commissioner who said she wasn’t sure if the fifth floor was truly needed, but she voted in favor anyway because she felt the cause was just and could understand it needing more than 45 feet. With the height exemption granted, the next step is for the project’s architect, Christine Pierron, to submit a formal application to the Development Application Review Team before having an additional conceptual design review by the Architectural Board of Review. The project went through a conceptual design review on March 11 and was deemed a community benefit by the City Council on April 30. —Delaney Smith

EVICTIONS BEGIN AT PINI PROPERTIES housing specialist at Legal Aid, acknowledged that California had an occupancy standard of two people in a one-bedroom apartment. “But that is not the law,” she added. What is a law is one that protects families and another that states landlords cannot discriminate against children. “It’s a gray area that will be litigated,” she said, but children were a protected class. However, if another child is born, a family would be asked to move. Skip Symansky, the Housing Authority’s chief operating officer, said two people per bedroom is a standard, but that the living room is also viewed as a potential sleeping area. In general, the Housing Authority allows four people in a one-bedroom apartment and six in a two-bedroom. Rehousing tenants has been a heated issue in the receivership. During the trial, the city attorneys made impassioned pleas to protect tenants from vermin, villainous landlords, and evictions. They argued that receiverships usually ended in tenants being evicted. And 14

because of the squeaky-tight rental market, these tenants could become homeless. Homelessness is exactly what is terrifying these families. In Santa Barbara, where rental vacancies are as low as one percent and rents are sky high, many of Pini’s tenants would rather live in his crumbling apartments than face the alternative. Though his critics have repeatedly called Pini a slumlord, he also charges some of the cheapest rents in town. As a result, many of his tenants are reluctant to move. Many who live at the Mission Street apartment complex can count their tenancy in decades; some have raised their entire family there. They’ve become so comfortable with the landlord that Pini suggested they call the Independent about the evictions, which they did. And Pini, who despises the people who’ve taken control of his properties and occasionally yells out in court at what he believes is their dishonesty, said that “throwing the people out on the street n is evil.”

Of Canines and Cannabis

SCRATCH & SNIFF: It’s not exactly Godzilla

versus Mothra. But in Santa Barbara, it’s the next best thing. It’s cannabis, which, like water it seems, has become all about the fighting. Depending on who you ask, last week’s knockdown, drag-out debate in front of the County Planning Commission over a proposed new cannabis greenhouse in Carpinteria went either six or seven hours long. Either way, I was down for the count. In the anti-cannabis corner stood Maureen Foley Claffey — known to friends as MoFo—wearing a red blouse (the signature color of the movement), on which hung a wooden clothespin as a rhetorical flourish. Long ago, MoFo worked at the Independent as an editor and reporter. Today, she describes herself as a “farmer’s daughter,” the homegrown sprout of a family seed first planted in the Carpinteria Valley in the 1860s, and, more importantly, the mother of a 7-year-old girl. At the podium, MoFo is whirlwind. And she is pissed. She’s pissed about a lot of things. But at the top of the list is, of course, the smell. In the other corner stood Graham Farrar, a home-grown Goleta boy himself, who often recalls riding his bike past lemon orchards now turned into condos. Farrar looks a little like a grown-up version of Opie —the kid on The Andy Griffith Show. Except in this case, Opie happens to be an entrepreneurial savant with a cyborg’s analytic brain, who dropped out of high school and managed to get in on the

ground floor with such stratospheric homegrown start-ups as Sonos and Software.com. Some people have good timing. Other people are good timing. Today, Farrar’s big into cannabis. He’s about to open the first recreational dispensary in the City of Santa Barbara, and he’s already got one greenhouse raising commercial-grade bud in Carpinteria. Now, he’s pushing to open another — about 350,000 square feet’s worth — off Foothill Road. Claffey, who represents a group, also homegrown, called Concerned Carpinterians, as well as a broader coalition of anti-cannabis activists from all over the county who are running a take-no-prisoners campaign determined to appeal every land-use permit issued to every single cannabis cultivator. It was their bad luck that Farrar happened to be the first. The planning commissioners clearly trust Farrar. He’s not cute. He doesn’t cut corners.

He’s by the book. He’s excruciatingly straight up. And they said as much from the dais. More than any grower, Farrar has reached out to cannabis critics. He’s been relentless. Claffey would say too relentless. Farrar testified he contacted her three times after she filed her appeal to see if they could talk. Claffey testified it was three times within 12 hours. She felt stalked. “I was a little intimidated,” she told the Planning Commission. Yes, it’s like that. Spoiler alert: The Planning Commission vote was 4-1 in Farrar’s favor. On paper, that

seems like a slam dunk. In reality, it’s considerably tighter. To get there, the commissioners found themselves forced to get under the hood and tinker enough to get their knuckles bloody. Finally, they added new conditions to better protect residents from mephitic odors emanating in errant effluvial abundance from Carpinteria’s 24 cannabis greenhouse operations. New operations, the commissioners decreed, had to demonstrate that their odorneutralization systems worked —no smells experienced in residential neighborhoods— from day one. The current lingo—as mushy as wet toilet paper—outlined instead a remedial path that kicks in only after there have been three complaints. From where I sit, this change was the good news. The bad news? That such alterations were necessary in the first place. By now, everyone knows Carpinteria has an odor issue where cannabis is concerned. How bad, it seems, lies largely in the nose of the beholder. But here’s the deal: There are 24 large-scale cannabis greenhouses now operating in Carpinteria. Of those, only 14 have odor-control systems, 12 of which are licensed by a guy named Mark Byers. A onetime private banker, Byers is now providing odor-control services for a Canadian outfit that he claims is the biggest weed company in all of North America. He equips greenhouses with specially engineered PVC pipes that shoot either “a halo” or “a curtain” of essential-oil-infused vapors into the air, where

they combine with cannabis “malodors” to form a brand-new compound that the human nose reportedly does not detect. Byers says his system is 90 percent effective. MoFo was less than impressed. The dead skunks she used to smell all the time, she said, have now been replaced by emanations akin to human “flatulence.” That’s an improvement? Her pot-growing neighbor (not Farrar), however, suggested the fart-like aromas now crinkling MoFo’s nose might be better explained by the 10 cows penned up no less than 1,000 feet from her home. It was like that. The latest issue to emerge in the cannabis debate has to do with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which in certain conditions combine with sunlight and nitrogen oxide to form smog. The terpenes giving cannabis its stink are, in fact, VOCs. Critics of cannabis have seized upon this fact — and a study produced by a certified Big Brain from the University of North Carolina that suggests we are about to smogify ourselves into oblivion with cannabis. Maybe. Or maybe not. Farrar paid the Big Brain to fly from North Carolina to testify that in Santa Barbara, the ocean, the trees, and agricultural plants now produce 39,000 tons a year of naturally generated VOCs. Cannabis in Carp produces 5,000 of

those. In other words…. It may not be Godzilla versus Mothra, but it ain’t over. Not by a long shot. In fact, it’s only — Nick Welsh just starting.

Highly Regulated Pot Is Much Safer

y name is Graham Farrar,

Getting

Freeze All Activity Until Issues Are Resolved

CANNABIS

and I am a cannabis farmer in Carpinteria Valley. Being part of this community is a privilege that I and my team take seriously every day. I grew up in Goleta, and I was an early founding member in Sonos. I’m also a local dad of two young kids. I want to take a moment to set the record straight on a couple of important issues because doing cannabis right is a big deal to us. Cannabis is the most highly regulated agricultural crop in our county. Period. As growers, we have to secure both local and state licenses and permits and comply with an endless list of regulatory agencies, including the California Department of Water Resources; California Department of Fish and Wildlife; California DepartBY G R A H A M F A R R A R ment of Pesticide Regulation; Bureau of Cannabis Control; California Department of Tax and Fee Administration; and Santa Barbara County Public Health, Fire, Sheriff, Agricultural Commissioner, Community Services Sustainability Division, Public Works, Environmental Health, and Planning and Development. I can tell you firsthand that securing the signoffs needed from these agencies will take us years. Only those who are truly committed to doing cannabis right long-term will make it through the compliance gauntlet. And we support that. Odor is our top priority. Those of us who are here to stay and committed to being good neighbors have already installed the best-available odor-control technology. I can tell you that these vapor phase systems work and do not pose health risks. The county has conducted over 30 enforcement actions this year (which were funded by cannabis tax revenue), including on several farms that did not have effective odorcontrol systems. The county is continuing to shut down operators who aren’t following the rules, but the county can’t actually require operators to have odor-control technology until they have gone through the permitting process. So it’s in everyone’s best interest to speed this process up. Regulated cannabis is much safer than what you were getting a couple of years ago. Before voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition 64 to legalize cannabis (67 percent in Santa Barbara County), there was no oversight. Before Prop. 64, medical consumers had no idea about the strength or content of the product they were consuming. Thanks to the new regulations, you don’t have to worry about that anymore. Pesticides are not allowed, and cannabis must be tested for 66 different pesticides down to the parts per billion level. This is significant. Every other product you consume (lettuce, strawberries) has residual pesticides. No other agriculture goes through this level of testing. Cannabis growing in greenhouses is as environmentally friendly as it gets. We recapture and reuse our water, and we don’t use pesticides — instead, we use beneficial insects. This is unprecedented for any other agricultural product. Additionally, the Santa Barbara County permit process requires a 15 percent reduction in energy use for all cannabis farms. Cannabis, done right, is fundamental to preserving the agricultural character of Carpinteria and making sure ag lands are not converted to development. Absent cannabis growers’ utilization of preexisting greenhouse infrastructure, these coastal properties would be very attractive to developers. It’s also important to recognize that we are not proposing any new construction or new development, another reason why we are a low-impact crop change for the area. We have a unique opportunity to fulfill the will of you, the voters, by providing access to safe, locally and responsibly grown, legal cannabis. We are dedicated to doing this the right way, by stimulating our local economy, being respectful of our community, and also n by keeping Carpinteria in sustainable farming, as it has been for generations.

s a result of incompetent, “cart-before-thehorse” (Supervisor Peter Adam’s remark) tactics and due to the majority of supervisors’ at best naïve, at worst unethical regulation of cannabis cultivation, our communities are besieged by a proliferation of commercial cannabis developers. Officials’ misguided support of the cannabis industry has allowed an unbridled horse to run wild. As a long-term resident and advocate of Tepusquet Community, I have helped found the Santa Barbara Coalition for Responsible Cannabis and have been instrumentally involved in BY R E N E E O ’ N E I L L supporting other supportive groups. I encouraged the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors to adopt staff ’s prudent and protective recommendations. Many people, including myself, warned the supervisors years ago that if they didn’t acknowledge countywide concerns and staff ’s wisdom, they would be facing lawsuits, as, apparently, they are. Santa Barbara is the only county in the state that failed to adopt caps for the number of licenses issued to county/parcel/licensee/etc. (Staff and Tepusquet had strongly advocated for these restrictions, prior to adoption of the 2017 Environmental Impact Report.) The supervisors disregarded advice and opened Pandora’s box; they allowed anyone who applied for temporary cannabis permits and claimed they were growing medical marijuana prior to January 2016 (legal nonconforming — but unverified) to grow unlimited amounts of cannabis before they obtained county permit(s). Due to finding issues with banking (it could not be FDIC) and cannabis taxes, the Board of Supervisors did not keep its promise to use the majority of cannabis tax money to provide for adequate staff or enforcement (One person in Planning & Development oversees the influx of hundreds of applications; six detectives enforce numerous illegal cannabis operations). After the January 29 meeting, the supervisors listened as many communities expressed outrage, yet they still have not changed the number of staff/enforcement positions to improve issues. Fact: The state issued 10,760 licenses between 1/2018 and 5/16/2019. The unincorporated regions of Santa Barbara County were issued 3,316 of those — more than any other county — making up 30 percent of the total state licenses issued when we have one percent of the state’s population and two percent of the state’s land. The Board of Supervisors must consider putting an immediate ban/ freeze on cannabis activity until issues with residents, schools, existing agriculture, etc. are resolved. Cannabis Ordinance appears to be written by and for the cannabis lobby. The supervisors must recognize that cannabis is a mere blip on the “revenue radar.” Saturated markets will only decrease revenue. The Board of Supervisors must also distinguish that Santa Barbara County’s multibillion-dollar wine, avocado, and tourist industries have long-standing reputations and promote compatible, sustainable, and responsible revenue within our county. These traditional industries serve local, national, and world populations! These are the facts that need to be weighed and considered caren fully.

Dems’ Early Council Endorsements Advance Long-Term Strategy

his just in: Article II, Sec. 6 (a) of the California Constitution reads as follows: All judicial, school, county, and city offices … shall be nonpartisan. All righty then. That quaint 1911 constitutional dictate, allegedly still operative, came to mind as the Democratic Party of Santa Barbara County announced its influential endorsements for four, purportedly nonpartisan, City Council seats — six weeks before the official filing period for the November 5 ballot opens. As chosen by several dozen members of the county committee last week at Pea Soup Andersen’s, the Dem candidates:

In a recent speech at the Democratic state convention, where he lost a bid for state party chair, Daraka cited the transformation of Santa Barbara’s political landscape as a key accomplishment: “I’m running for chair,” he said, “because I have been behind the scenes in Santa Barbara, building a party that puts principle before deals. That puts progressive values before anything else. “We flipped Santa Barbara from a purple county to a blue county,” he added. “The thing that makes me the proudest about the work that we’ve done locally is … the fact that I’m not chair anymore and they’re still kicking ass.” Indeed.

DISTRICT 1 (EASTSIDE): The committee selected Alejandra Gutierrez, Franklin Service Center director, an effort to oust incumbent Jason Dominguez, arch-foe of Mayor Cathy Murillo; kudos to Jason for showing up at the endorsement meeting to make his case. DISTRICT 2 (MESA): Dem deciders picked longtime Planning Commissioner Michael Jordan over activist Teri Jory and newcomer Tavis Boise. DISTRICT 3 (WESTSIDE): Although unopposed, incumbent and Cathy loyalist Oscar Gutierrez got an early endorsement. DISTRICT 6 (DOWNTOWN): When Gregg Hart was elected supervisor, councilmembers appointed attorney Meagan Harmon to the vacant seat; with at least one eye on the election, she delivered for the Dems on her first big vote, favoring pro-union Project Labor Agreement legislation, and last week won the endorsement.

APPARATCHIK AGENDAS: The current makeup of local government backs Daraka’s take: Democrat-backed politicians hold majorities or super-majorities on the Board of Supervisors and city councils and school boards in Santa Barbara and Goleta. To be sure, Santa Barbara is not exceptional in this regard. Amid epochal demographic shifts — and the Republican Party’s decline into cult status — Democrats established oneparty rule in Sacramento; around the state, ambitious Dems use local offices as stepping stones, aided by a landmark 1990 federal court ruling that struck down a state ban on partisan endorsements in nonpartisan races, and by establishment of district elections, which magnify party impact in low-turnout campaigns. In a generation, the Democratic organization, in alliance with labor unions, has become the sine qua non for candidates seeking office in Santa Barbara. No other group — not the GOP, not business, not cultural conservatives — comes close in political influence. As a policy matter, Democratic power is seen in victories which manifest its platform, like the union-friendly Project Labor Agreement (PLA) legislation, a “just-cause eviction” ordinance, and approval of controversial housing projects like the huge Milpas Street development. “We’re getting our asses run over by Daraka and company,” said termed-out councilmember Randy Rowse, complaining of heightened partisanship. “There is a set of driving instructions from the Democratic Party that says, ‘You shall support PLA,’ ‘You shall support just cause eviction,’ and on and on,” he said. “And I’m going, ‘Wait a minute, why are the people I sit with answering some out— Jerry Roberts side call?’”

So far unopposed, she’s nonetheless hired go-to Dem strategist Mollie Culver, closing a cozy political circle: Molly ran Gregg’s campaign before she went on the county payroll as his aide; she also will manage Jordan’s campaign. Those who forget history party chair Gail Teton-Landis, who has made the party’s endorsement process more transparent, said that picking candidates early provides a jump start over potential foes. Early endorsement is one tactic in a decade-long strategy by which Democrats have come to dominate “nonpartisan” government. The strategy’s prime mover has been former longtime local chair Daraka LarimoreHall. In 2011, with several Republicans in office, he famously announced a campaign to “take back City Hall.”

John Yoshio Suzuki 06/25/28-05/20/19

John Yoshio Suzuki passed away peacefully on May 20, 2019. Born on June 25, 1928 in Santa Barbara to Hanshichi and Mine Honda Suzuki, who preceded him in death. He was also preceded by his older brother and fishing partner, Tadao Suzuki, DDS. Growing up in Santa Barbara, John attended Franklin Elementary, SBJHS, SBHS and SBCC. During World War II, John and his family were evacuated to the

Gila River War Relocation Center. After the war, they returned to Santa Barbara, John attended SBHS and enjoyed playing varsity football and baseball. In 1950, he was drafted and served as Sergeant Tank Commander in the Korean War. After an honorable discharge, John attended SBCC, majoring in business. After graduation, John joined his father and worked in the family landscape gardening business. John was a natural athlete playing many sports but bowling was his passion. In fact, one night he asked a pretty girl named Fumi if she’d like to go bowling, which resulted in a 65-year union. John bowled semi-professionally for several years and in 1962, carried a 219 bowling average which was the highest in Santa Barbara and 2nd highest in California, by throwing a four-step spinner ball. That year, he bowled two perfect “300” games but his biggest thrill was winning the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon Tournament and a three-foot trophy. In 1978 John also won the Santa Barbara Masters Tournament and received the Athletic Roundtable award. John held a strong sense of duty and service towards this community and his fellow Veterans. For this he was honored as a Distinguished Veteran in 2016 by Pierre Claeyssens Veterans’ Foundation and Channel City Club and the 2019 Distinguished Alumni by SBHS Alumni Association. He actively supported many community events and served in a number of organizations including the Japanese American Citizens League (President), Landscape Gardeners Association (President), American Legion (Commander), Coordinating Council (Vice Chair), Korean War Veteran’s Association (President) and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1649 (Service Officer). John is survived by his wife of 65 years, Fumi Inouye Suzuki, his sister, Kiyo Suzuki Yukawa; four daughters – Patti Boucher (Tom), Cindy Suzuki (George Hernandez), Susan Suzuki (Richard Walter) and Kim Penman (David); and six grandchildren – Lauren, Will, Alex, Kaitlyn, Noah and Nathan. We would like to thank the staff and doctors of Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for taking such good care of our father. Donations in John’s memory can be made to Bethany Congregational Church or Santa Barbara Korean War Veteran’s Association. To honor John, a Celebration of Life will take place on Thursday, June 20th from 12:00-3:00 at the Veteran’s Memorial Building. Funeral arrangements made by McDermott Crockett Mortuary.

Jane Elyse Duncan 06/28/53-07/23/18

Jane died in July of last year of acute respiratory failure. She was briefly hospitalized in Merced where she had been living, and then Fresno where she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of lung cancer. Jane was the third of four children born to Rosemary Hobson Duncan of Ventura and George Perry Duncan of Santa Paula. Both her parents were proud descendants of California pioneers that had crossed the Plains in wagon trains and settled in the southern part of Santa Barbara County before it became Ventura County. Jane was glad to tell you that her great-great-grandfather William Dewey Hobson was known as “The Father of Ventura County.” Just two years after her birth, Jane’s family moved to Europe, where Perry worked as a civilian accountant for the United States Air Force, beginning a long career of government work and civil service in various locations. Jane’s earliest education was in England where the Duncans lived for four years, and then Germany, where they lived for two years. Rosemary believed in experiential education and gamely packed all four kids, along with a helpful grandmother and a nanny, into a Volkswagen microbus and drove them throughout Italy one summer. When the Duncans returned to California they lived briefly in Ojai before moving to Santa Barbara in 1964. They lived on Todos Santos Lane in Mission Canyon, and Jane and her younger brother Ronald attended Jefferson Elementary School. Jane and Ron spent much of their youth together and enjoyed a close bond. Both began horseback riding and swimming while in Ojai and Jane became a skilled rider and swimmer. Jane regularly competed in local competitions at Earl Warren Showgrounds and took part in Santa Barbara Youth Theater productions with brother Ron. After their parents divorced, both younger siblings accompanied their father when he relocated to Washington, D.C. for civil service work. Perry remarried and Jane and Ron benefited from INDEPENDENT.COM

the support and guidance of their step-mother Roberta Grimes Duncan. Jane first attended school in suburban Maryland and then The Hawthorne School in the District. She became a lifeguard and proudly enjoyed summer employment at local pools. Upon graduation Jane returned to Santa Barbara and she worked and lived in Chinatown, before attending Pitzer College in Claremont. Soon after she entered college Jane’s behavior began to change. Up until then she had been a well-adjusted confident vivacious young woman who had a firm grasp on reality. She dropped out of school and returned to Washington, D.C. where she was diagnosed with schizophrenia, an illness that would color the rest of her life. Jane underwent treatment in the East and then California when she returned to Santa Barbara and Ventura. Her life was characterized by long periods of semi independent living interrupted by brief periods of hospitalization. In Santa Barbara she was fortunate to enjoy the structure and support of both Phoenix House and Hillside House. Despite her illness she had a good sense of humor and a warm heart and particularly enjoyed cooking and gardening. Jane was preceded in death by her mother, father, step-mother, and brother Cameron (Ronald). She is survived by brothers Robert Bruce Duncan and John Lansing Duncan, half-brother Ian Douglas Duncan and half-sister Malone Duncan Yoh, niece Mary Mackenzie Duncan, and nephew Owen Hopper Duncan. The family wishes to express their deep gratitude to all those who assisted Jane to live in our community.

Hello my dear friend/s, It’s a great day today! I am out of the terrible pain I have been in for so long, I’m not nauseous or throwing up, all my fractured bones aren’t bothering me. What’s the miracle? Well, I wanted to tell you myself, and this letter was the only way I could do it. I have taken the ultimate last step and I have ended my life. Please try not to be shocked or upset. I have had an inhumanly difficult time for so long now, well before my last diagnosis in 2016. That’s a long time to be out of my mind with pain and other physical torture. I lived down in Newport Beach for six months trying an alternative treatment, I went to a clinic in Austria for 6 weeks last fall, I’ve tried meds, chemo, multiple radiation regimens, CBD compounds, and almost all the supplements you can think of till around October. Then I decided I didn’t want to do anything more. It was now just a matter of managing pain and nausea. And relaxing! It has been glorious in that way. I wanted to meet my first grandbaby, Orion, born to Paria and Lao in February 2019. That was my goal, and I hung in as long as I could. I have had no depression. Life was and is the most astonishing miracle. I am infinitely grateful that I had this time to get ready to die. It has truly been one of the most remarkable experiences of my life. To have the time to contemplate non-existence, to really think about nothingness, lack of self, has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. To have the time to talk to my children, to find out how they see it, what they think about the beyond, how they are feeling. To clean out, put things in order, and organize my departure. It has been the greatest gift. I traveled a lot for a while, until I couldn’t any more. I got to say goodbye to old and precious friends, and to go on a few final and glorious adventures; Paris with Lige, Africa with Paria and Lao, one more trip to Yosemite with Lev, and the sequoias with Lige. I love this world! Its inequities sadden me, but my great good fortune has shown me a world of infinite beauty and true magic. The kindness and goodness of people have shamed me. I have thought a lot about this and I have no regrets whatsoever, save one – that I never figured out how to be of service. I think that should be a priority for everyone, how to give back for this glorious experience called life. It only makes our own lives richer. Thank you for your gifts to me; friendship, true love, sharing and caring together. It’s difficult to say goodbye! I can’t say “bye for now” as I usually do. I just wish you all the happiness in the world. It’s all up to us to find it. I love you deeply. Thank you for your gifts. Spread them widely. So much love to you.

A Terrible Loss

he Cacique Street gang murder indicates that adults, whether high on machismo or drugs, are still playing this turf war, barrio BS, and it is at the expense of the rest of us. Seriously, grow the f**k up. The rest of the community doesn’t care whether you are a Southsider, Eastsider, or Westsider, from Loontown or Mars. I have lived within a couple of blocks of where this gang murder occurred for more than two decades. The neighborhood, for the most part, is cemetery quiet after 10 p.m. It has always been peaceful. There are good, hardworking people who live in this area. Having covered the Ventura County Superior Court for eight years as a reporter, I know that most of these gang members aren’t as tough as they want us to believe. I have seen them on the stand during countless jury trials. They will turn on each other, and some start crying while testifying to save their own keisters. It is terrible when a human being loses his life. Many of these people, especially youngsters, should be helped through community resources. Many of us, however, also need to get more involved in some way in helping many of these kids. But the adult “gangsters” need to grow up and stop the ese BS game, because the rest of us aren’t interested. Sooner or later, the community will tire and demand that a local, state, and federal task force start investigations to get these violent people off the streets and put into cages to protect the rest of — Raul Hernandez, S.B. us.

Revenge by Speedo? When the Miramar Hotel managers booted Montecito Union 6th-grade graduates from the beach (see independent.com/miramarbeachaccess), the Indy’s Facebook readers commented an unprecedented 327 times. Here’s a brief sample: Tina Ansbro The hotel is completely out of place and out of character with Santa Barbara. Men in suits trying to stake claim to the beach? Unbelievable! • Caroline Harrah Miramar’s actions were incredibly unfortunate given the amount of goodwill they’ve attempted to garner over the past

year-plus. Not only is their prepared statement inadequate to account for their actions, it also attempts to mislead the public. This was not an issue about where food and beverage might be served. Rather, it was an effort to stake claim on an area of beach access that is legally and irrefutably the public’s. • David Nimmons The Miramar’s response that the public is allowed to go to all seven of the restaurants isn’t true. The public cannot go to the ice cream shop. It’s in the family pool area, which requires a hotel key, and is only for hotel guests Isis Wills We are S.B. residents who have had positive experiences with children in tow at the Miramar. Glad to hear this story has a nice ending and hoping the narrative doesn’t get too out of hand. JC Gordon Many of us fondly remember Jacque. He NEVER cleared us off the beach directly in front of the hotel. Learning to surf at the point, we youngsters pestered him and he pestered us as well. It was a mutual thing. At the end of the day, we lived and respected him, and he was always fair with us. The hotel is beautiful, but vibe inside and out is not working yet. • AJ Rosenberger All I remember from that guy was him always being rude, mean, out of line at times. Amanda Leigh While the world deals with famine, war, etc., S.B. be like “elitism on the beach”! Thank god for the Coastal Commission! Good grief, people. It’s a bit funny. Patti Daly I know where I’m planting my beach chair this weekend! • Anita Marie Gallegos-Jeffrey We should all plan on camping out over the 4th of July like the old days and dig pits. • Vickie Cannon-Chatterton I’m thinking of gathering my largest friends for a day at the beach. The men will wear Speedos, and the women will wear the tiniest of bikinis. We will give the 1 percent the view they are looking for.

wenty years ago, the Santa Barbara Independent launched its inaugural Blue & Green issue as a guide to adventure and fun in the great outdoors. Over the decades, it’s evolved from a one-stop shop for the best hiking, mountain biking, and climbing locations into an annual collection of stories about backpacking trips, sailing excursions, island explorations, kayak expeditions, and poison oak sagas. This year’s spread includes a little bit of everything, from John Zant’s memoir of walking the county’s entire coastline in 1988 and an author who found solace through backpacking to the joy of watching leopard sharks near Isla Vista and hiking into the hills above Carpinteria. (Plus this great photograph, and the one on the cover, by Chuck Graham of pronghorn antelope amid the Carrizo Bloom superbloom.) As usual, there’s a full guide to outdoor-focused companies that are standing by to make your next trip happen. Please enjoy, and then go outside.

Conquering the

ounty CoaSt SantaRemembering BarBara C a Dozen Days of Hiking from the

Santa Maria River to Rincon in 1988

n August 8, 1988, I stood where the Santa Maria River meets the Pacific Ocean at the northwest corner of Santa Barbara County. I was about to start walking south and east along the coast for 110 miles — the entire length of the county shoreline. It would take me 12 days, and after each day’s hike, I would write 1,200 words or so about what I saw, heard, and felt. My accounts, along with pictures from different photographers who accompanied me, appeared daily in the Santa Barbara News-Press starting on August 10. For logistical reasons involving the transmission of my stories and the processing of photos taken in the North County, the first five days of the walk required two days before appearing in the paper. Then I took a day off, and each remaining report was published the next morning. Here’s how it went down.

DAY 1

Guadalupe Dunes to Point Sal (6 miles): Under overcast skies, a cold wind blew onshore. The surf was turbulent. The beach was deserted except for a couple of fishermen and two brave surfers. After a mile, the strand was interrupted by Mussel

by John Zant

Rock, a large formation jutting out to the sea. My path necessarily took me along rocky ledges, dropping down to a few pocket beaches, before I reached the primitive state beach at Point Sal. The scenery was Big Sur–like in its rugged beauty. Wildlife abounded along the cliffs and on the offshore Lion Rock. A sea otter, unmistakable as it floated on its back, appeared at the southernmost limit of its range. I typed my story to the rhythm of the waves and slept on the beach. Photographer/courier Karl Mondon drove a winding seven-mile road from Santa Maria to meet me in the morning. The road has since washed out and is only a hiking trail, sometimes closed, making Point Sal even more inaccessible.

DAY 2

Point Sal to Ocean Beach County Park (15 miles): My editors had secured permission for me to proceed into Vandenberg Air Force Base. I was told that an escort would meet me at the gate. I took this to mean an entry point near the shore. The base commander apparently had meant the main gate several miles inland. So when I made a beeline to the beach between Point Sal and Lions Head (a prominent outcropping on the north coast of the

BEACHY DAZE: John Zant trudges the county coastline near the Guadalupe Dunes, where he started his 1988 walk. base)—sans escort—I was officially a trespasser, and airmen were deployed to find me. I encountered them at Minuteman Beach. They were working with shovels around the wheels of a jeep. It had been stuck in the sand, sinking deeper when the wheels spun. “Are you the missing civilian?” the leader of the search party asked. Then he added: “You do not see this.” Upon the

Conquering the

arrival of my escort, Mike McElligott of the VAFB Environmental Task Force, I was free to go. What struck me about the miles of beach and dunes that lay ahead — next to hidden missile silos — was their pristine condition. Not a scrap of litter. “Take away the missiles,” McElligott said, “and condos go up right here.” He steered me around the breeding area of the rare snowy plover.

DAY 3

Ocean Beach to Jalama Beach County Park (20 miles): After spending the night in Lompoc, I was rested for the biggest day of the trek. My escort joined me again. No photography was allowed once we left the public area around the mouth of the Santa Ynez River. There were sensitive military installations, including a complex built for West Coast Space Shuttle launches. The program was scrubbed after the Challenger disaster. McElligott was more interested in the rich biodiversity of the region. The ecologist pointed out species like the threespined stickleback, a small fish that existed only in three coastal creeks. Sea mammals flourished offshore. We walked along the railroad tracks above sheer cliffs that plunged to the ocean. At Point Pedernales (aka Honda Point) were some rusted remains of the 1923 naval disaster where seven destroyers ran aground and 23 sailors perished. South of Point Arguello, we could walk along the shore, bisected by eight coastal canyons. The sand was coarse and tiring to walk on. The prospect of a Jalama burger pushed me through the last mile beyond the boundary of VAFB. It was the most delicious burger I ever tasted.

DAY 4

COUR TESY PHOT OS

Jalama Beach to Point Conception (6 miles): The county park was teeming with visitors. Many waited in a long line of vehicles outside the entrance. Not all would secure a camping spot. But after I walked a mile south toward Point Conception, the beach was deserted. I had permission to enter Cojo-Jalama Ranch, the private property surrounding the point. Trespassers were dealt with harshly. I had a rare opportunity to check out the lighthouse, which sits below a bluff and cannot be seen from the passing Amtrak trains. I spent the moonless, starlit night in an abandoned outbuilding. At 2 a.m., I went to the bluff top to look out to the sea surging all OTHER OUTINGS: The author’s list of adventures includes topping Mt. Whitney in 1988 and winter backpacking with llamas in 1987.

PAUL WELLMAN FILE PHOTO

ounty CoaStt Santa BarBara C cont’d. from p. 23 around me at this nexus of west- and south-facing shores. It was an ethereal experience I did not have the words to describe. The Chumash Native Americans who populated the coast for thousands of years were said to have journeyed to this special place at the end of their lives. (I was overjoyed by the news that Cojo-Jalama has been purchased and donated to The Nature Conservancy for preservation. See “The Last Perfect Place” in the April 25 edition of the Independent.)

DAY 5

Point Conception to Gaviota (14 miles): The sea had gone from wild to glassy on the south side of the point. I was met by Mike Drury, Hollister Ranch security officer, as I walked along the shore. It was his mandate to keep outsiders from encroaching on the private land, which essentially made this long, sandy stretch inaccessible, inasmuch as there were natural barriers to beach walkers at both ends. The worst invaders, Drury said, were poachers who sought wild deer and boar. A way to provide public access to the beaches is a current topic of controversy. The strand was clean and unspoiled 31 years ago. There was one family, who owned property on the ranch, enjoying a day on the beach all by themselves. At the end of the day’s walk, I realized what a privilege it was to have seen 50 miles of shoreline off limits to most people. I later met Jim Blakely, a naturalist and explorer who had done the same walk by himself. How did he manage it? “I had a hard hat and a clipboard,” he told me. “With those, you can go anywhere.”

DAY 6

Gaviota to El Capitán State Park (14 miles): From now on, there would be fewer moments of solitude on my journey. Three popular state parks were along this stretch. The middle one, Refugio, was postcard-perfect. It was along here that I started to pick up tar on the soles of my shoes (I wore old running shoes in anticipation of this). I heard this telling comment from Roy Loomis, who lived on a ranch up Arroyo Hondo Canyon: “I remember I used to sit around here and not get tar on my pants. That was before all these ‘natural’ oil seeps. Even a dumb cowboy like me can figure out what’s happening. You pressurize an oil well, and it’s going to increase the seeps. Pressure a hose, and it’s going to squirt harder.”

DAY 7

El Capitán to Coal Oil Point (9 miles): From the state park, population 800, I headed off to some relatively untrammeled shores. Two miles of them were bordered by Las Varas Ranch, which last December was donated to UCSB. East of Dos Pueblos Canyon, I splashed along between cliffs and an incoming tide. It was a more challenging hike than I expected. Trash littered the beach near the future site of the Bacara resort. “Maybe they’ll clean this place up,” a longtime visitor told me.

DAY 8

Coal Oil Point to More Mesa (6 miles): Below the precariously perched Isla Vista cliff dwellings were rusted automobile skeletons and bicycle frames. Goleta Beach was a gathering place for area residents. On the beach below More Mesa, naked sunbathers and Hope Ranch equestrian riders existed in harmony.

DAY 9

More Mesa to Leadbetter Beach (6 miles): Fishermen in body boats came ashore with catches of calico bass. A pod

of dolphins swam parallel to the shore off Hendry’s Beach. A couple sweeping Leadbetter Beach with metal detectors claimed to have collected $1,900 in loose change over a twoyear period.

DAY 10

Leadbetter Beach to Butterfly Beach (5 miles): For two and a half miles, the City of Santa Barbara stretches out to the sea between the bluffs of Shoreline Park and the Santa Barbara Cemetery. A couple of rubberneckers at the harbor told me they had met there 50 years ago when “hot dogs were a dime at the Lighthouse” and Max Fleischmann’s yacht and only one other boat were anchored there. British tourists expecting California sunshine and blue skies were disappointed by marine layer: “Now, it’s like England.”

DAY 11

Butterfly Beach to Carpinteria City Beach (6 miles): Around the corner from the Biltmore and the Coral Casino, a bulldozer was grading land around Hammond’s Meadow. Twenty condos would be developed there, but at least three acres of the meadow would be preserved. A Miramar Beach resident described the beachfront homes as “early ramshackle style.” I wrote, “Like lobsters, they shed their old skins … and become more expensive.” The Miramar Hotel, with its long boardwalk and offshore raft, was still intact and inviting. On the beach below Summerland, famous polo player Memo Gracida rode his pony in the surf.

DAY 12

Carpinteria Beach to Rincon Beach (3 miles): The NewsPress invited readers to meet me at the end of Linden Avenue and walk with me to the end of my journey. Several hundred showed up. We left the beach to traverse the Carpinteria Bluffs, another development battleground. Landscape artist Arturo Tello was putting a scene on canvas. Beyond the oil pier where harbor seals hang out, we went back down to the shore. There was a seal wall below the railroad tracks. The tide was coming in. I made a dash across the sand when a wave receded. The next wave nailed some of the people trailing me. Moses I am not. In the middle of Rincon Creek, I took my last step from the fabulous coastline of our county. Two months later, I was living a sports writer’s dream, covering Game 1 of the World Series. That’s when Kirk Gibson hit the West Coast version of the “Shot Heard ’Round the World” that spurred the Dodgers to a victory in five games over the Oakland A’s — a feat the Dodgers have been unable to repeat in the three decades since then. As great a story as it was to tell, though, it did not come close to the richness of my odyssey n along the coast.

ecember 2017’s Thomas Fire, followed by the destructive debris flow the following month, left many sections of hiking trails in the coastal Santa Ynez Mountains impassable.

COVER STORY recovering. The longer sections of switchbacks had parts that were completely washed out. There was a lot of loose, chunky scree and unstable ground along the final 2.7mile stretch to the Santa Ynez crest, the steepest part of the entire trail. However, after recently speaking with Mark Wilkinson, executive director of Santa Barbara County Trails Council, there is plenty to be hopeful for regarding access to the higher elevations of the scenic Franklin, which tops out at 3,720 feet. “Fundraising since the fire has gone well,” he said. This isn’t the first time the trail is being revived. It was swallowed up 40 years ago by a changing landscape of private properties and agri-

cultural growth in the Carpinteria Valley. It became an afterthought, eventually choked off by overgrown chaparral. However, over the last decade, community nonprofits such as S.B. County Trails Council, Friends of Franklin Trail, Montecito Trails Foundation, Los Padres Forest Association, and the S.B. Sierra Club Group have collaborated with the Los Padres National Forest to restore the historic Franklin Trail and reconnect it with the rugged backcountry. “Before the fire, we just needed a few retaining walls to complete it,” said Wilkinson. “Now we need a lot.”

p p A ’s e it a W in t s Du s e r u t a e F l a n r e t x Memoir E g in k c a p k c a B e r Los PabydRichie DeMaria

here does one go when they’re at a crossroads between jobs, relationships, and life paths? Into the woods, of course. In External, former Santa Barbara resident Dustin E. Waite takes readers on his journey on and off the Appalachian Trail. It’s an enjoyably readable, often funny expression of Waite’s navigation through life’s uncertainties; a story of how he finds answers in wildernesses across the world and in the hearts and minds of the people who he meets along the way. For S.B. readers, the book holds a special attraction, with several passages detailing Waite’s trips onto trails in the Los Padres National Forest. Born and raised in Iowa, Waite moved out to Santa Barbara to work as a geological consultant. He soon discovered that he loved the outdoors. “It was an awe-inspiring thing,” he recalled of seeing the Santa Ynez Mountains for the first time. “I was so impressed with everything, and it kind of sparked the interest, really lighting that fire in me to learn more about the backcountry and hiking.” There’s more than a little bit of Santa Barbara in Waite’s book. Through the pages, we follow him up familiar front-country routes like La Cumbre Peak and toward more remote backcountry mountains like Madulce Peak. Waite invites readers along on his friends’ annual Death March, a multi-day jaunt through arid stretches of Los Padres wilderness; and equally, to urban haunts like Handlebar, his favorite coffee spot, which

gets a shoutout in text. Whether or not one is familiar with our area’s wild lands or backpacking generally, the book holds plenty of appeal to the average reader with its very relatable and humbly astute observations on life’s many trials and tribulations. In many ways, the book is just as much about relationships, in all their joys and confusions, as it is about the wilderness. “We develop relationships at every switchback of our lives,” he writes in External. Many can find much to relate to in Waite’s words on romantic misadventures, company layoffs, and all-entailing existential quandaries. We read how not great tragedy, but the accumulation of life’s more routine disappointments and sadnesses prompt Waite to explore life’s bigger questions in the solace of the woods: “I probably didn’t necessarily intend for it to be a big six-month reflection, but pretty shortly after beginning, you realize that’s what this thing is. It’s a time to just think, with 15-20 miles each day in between to reflect and think about life.” On the Appalachian Trail, Waite runs into bears, bugs, and an even more dangerous personal health crisis, but his biggest takeaway is the people he meets. “When anyone asks me what’s your favorite part of the Appalachian Trail, I say it’s the people,” he said. “I know everybody wants to talk about bears or the best views, but if you don’t walk away saying the people you met, then we had different hikes. I met some of coolest, most influential people I’ve ever met on the trail, from every life scenario. I met people who had just lost a parent, just got over cancer, just went through a divorce. Not to sound too cliché, but you have to have a little caution because you realize you don’t know somebody’s back story.” It’s also very much a book about embracing the now — a book about seizing the life you have, while you have it. For hikers considering embarking on the long journey out East, Waite says to just go for it. “You don’t know what tomorrow holds,” Waite said. “There’s never a good time to go live in the woods for six months, so you might as well do it now.” External is for sale at Chaucer’s Books and The Book Den.

COVER STORY

S k r a h S mises They’re Slow, by Lisa Conti

A Mom Pro ever Bite Gentle, and N

NOW OPEN

SAFE SHARKS: Leopard sharks are pretty much harmless to humans.

“

huffle,” I remind everyone, and the

kids’ sloshing footsteps transition without dispute to quiet slides. Eight tiny sandstorms swirl. Feetdragging is a precaution we take to startle off stingrays. Earlier, one had fluttered away from me like a kite trailing a streamer. But we’re not here at Devereux Beach in Isla Vista looking for frying-pan-shaped fish. We’re here to see the leopard sharks. Before setting out, I knelt on the sand and with my most serious mom-voice briefed my two kids and their cousin about the adventure. I promised that the sharks are slow and gentle and never bite, but we mustn’t touch or disturb them. And don’t wade into their territory—let them come to us. We know that our best bet at locating them is to wait until mid-tide. After some time on the beach, walking and watching, we spot a few dorsal fins. We enter the ocean cautiously. We all look down, silent, hands shielding our faces from the glare, eyes scanning. I lead them past their ankles, past their knees, until the children stand nearly waist deep. But as we approach a group of sharks, we overstep, and one flicks its tail, dramatically darting towards the horizon. We freeze and watch. True to my word, the rest of the herd goes about their business, methodically gliding and circling through the shallows. Soon, they are swimming around our legs as if we’re just another clump of seagrass planted in the sand. I notice that the shark passing near the 9-year-old cousin is quite large, nearly four feet. The shallows are relatively warm for these cartilaginous fish (in the mid-60s), and today, despite the smell of churned-up seaweed, the water is clear. We have fleeting, yet pristine views of dorsal fins cutting through the surface. And as the sharks swim into view, their spots for which they are named emerge as artful, dark markings. I first heard about the sharks in April of 2018 from a friend who had taken her children tide-pooling. “They were just knee deep, and so many,” she marveled. “I think

they’re breeding.” After a gestation period of 12 months, leopard sharks give birth to footlong, teeth-bearing, live young. Between April and July, a female can birth more than 30 pups. Because we see only large sharks, it’s likely we’re seeing females who return to the warm shallows daily to incubate their eggs. I visit week after week through the summer and never fail to see a group. The sharks navigate through murky water using more than just their vision. By detecting chemicals and electrical fields, they can smell out food concealed under sand and find their way through the open ocean. I find myself wondering what the sharks think of the neoprene eau de cologne that frequents this surf zone. On several occasions, I notice surfers walk through, each party seemingly unaware of the other. Yet when there’s a lot of activity, the sharks retreat. We watch the sharks steadily undulate through the water. They feed with their mouths at ground level, searching the sand and rock bottom for shellfish, worms, and other hiding creatures. Using their mouth to suction their prey, they bite their catch, then swallow it whole. Later, when the tide moves farther out, we walk on the dry seafloor and squat along the edge of the tide pools and search for crabs, octopus, and other could-be leopard-shark snacks. Finally, after we’re all shivering and hunger gets the better of us, we make our way back up the stairs to the blufftop, drive to Super Cucas, encircle a platter of super nachos, and share stories of walking with the sharks. n INDEPENDENT.COM

Camp Chef Sherpa Table & Organizer: For many of us, the most daunting part of camping is packing up the supplies that allow us to approach relative comfort while living outdoors. What if you had one contraption that carried most everything you need, so you could leave it packed and be ready to go camping at all times? Meet Camp Chef ’s Sherpa Table & Organizer, a can canvas box of sorts with four separate compart compartments and an aluminum top that stands on collapsible legs. Granted, it’s not as cool as the handmade, antique wooden campground pantries that many of my friends have, but it’s lightweight with handles, full of available space, and sturdy enough to cook on (although not sure that’s officially advised). One of the bags even sports a waterproof lining, so there’s your new kitchen sink. $90-$146 (depending upon retailer). See campchef.com. —Matt Kettmann

Athlete Camera Pack: This pack made by Atlas has become an extension of my body. No longer do I worry about hiking to my truck in the dark following a late afternoon shoot in a remote locale. Instead, I simply access the backpack compartment of the camera pack and pull out my sleeping bag, food, and warm clothes, maximizing time spent in the field to take advantage of what nature is willing to offer. This versatility is made possible by the Atlas’s patented “Origami Camera Core,” which allows photographers to reconfigure and shift space between the camera and noncamera sections by adjusting the compression straps on either side and pushing or pulling the Origami pocket. This makes a heavier load feel lighter and photography in the field that much more enjoyable. See atlaspacks.com. —Chuck Graham

Guide Gear Truck-Bed Tent Somewhere between glamping and sleeping on the ground is the truck-bed tent. My wife and I bought ours—a Guide Gear brand—for a recent trip to Big Sur. There were things we really liked about it and things we weren’t too happy about. First, the positives. Price: At $99.99, it was by far one of the most affordable truck tents we could find. Simplicity: With just a few poles and a rainfly, it was fairly easy to put together. Weatherproofing: We got hit with a hell of a storm but stayed dry inside. But now, the negatives. Durability: Three of the bed straps snapped when we tried to set up in the wind. Airflow: We woke up literally gasping for breath. So, overall, not a bad purchase for the price, just as long as you avoid windy weather and be sure to maintain some ventilation at night. —Tyler Hayden

No Michelin Stars for S.B.

But Region Garners Initial Attention from Global Restaurant Review Guide

BY MATT KETTMANN here was substantial buzz in the Santa are judging a potential three star, two star, one

Barbara restaurant community back in early March when it was announced that the region would be, for the first time, analyzed by the Michelin Guide. The globally respected culinary review book series, which was founded by the French tire company in 1900, is best known for awarding stars to the world’s top restaurants. Its first American guide was issued in 2005 and focused on New York City. San Francisco and the Napa Valley has been analyzed since 2007, and Los Angeles was under the microscope briefly from 2008 to 2010. But this year, thanks to the support of Visit California, which reportedly gave $600,000 in support, the Michelin Man made a triumphant return to the Golden State, with anonymous critics again hitting restaurants in L.A. as well as brand-new territories in Sacramento, San Diego, and parts of the Central Coast. When the stars were doled out at a beachside bash last Monday in Huntington Beach, 69 restaurants — including ones in Sacramento, Carmel, and San Diego, though San Francisco/Napa and Los Angeles led the pack — were awarded one star, 14 garnered two stars, and seven reached the top of the Michelin pyramid by snagging the coveted three-star ranking. Santa Barbara, meanwhile, got skunked in the stars department. It was not a complete loss: Sama Sama Kitchen and Mesa Verde were honored with the “Bib Gourmand” selection, which recognize great meals for under $40, and 11 establishments were listed as “Plates,” where, according to Michelin, “inspectors have discovered quality food.” They are Barbareño, Bella Vista at the Biltmore, Belmond El Encanto, Blackbird at the Hotel Californian, the Lark, La Super-Rica Taqueria, Los Agaves, the Stonehouse at San Ysidro Ranch, Smithy’s Kitchen + Bar (now closed), Yoichi’s, and, in Solvang, First & Oak. (Could that be a gambler’s guide to where they may be looking in 2020?) When asked about Santa Barbara specifically, a Michelin Guide spokesperson explained, “Inspectors were impressed with the immediate potential in the area. … It’s important to emphasize that there is no set number of stars we look for each year. Whether our inspectors

star, Bib Gourmand, or $25 and under, the criteria is always the same: It is all about the food on the plate. Just being included in the selection is an honor — the Guide does not include every restaurant in a market, only those that are notable. And only about 14 percent of the restaurants in the selection will receive star distinctions. Michelin inspectors will continue to closely follow Santa Barbara restaurants over the next year.” The reaction from Santa Barbara’s restaurant community has been somewhat muted, although Barbareño co-owner Jesse Gaddy put an honest and gracious spin on it. “Of course I hoped Barbareño would get a star, but it’s not a total surprise we didn’t,” said Gaddy. “I don’t think it’s unfair that no one in Santa Barbara got a star. I think we are growing a lot as a restaurant town, but there’s no doubt we can be better. Speaking for Barbareño, I know there are tons of things we can do to improve to the point where I’d feel we really 100 percent deserved a star.” For many observers, the stumbling block for Santa Barbara, which is one of the original homes for the now widespread farm-to-table cuisine movement, might be the service. Michelin Guides place a high bar on professionalism in the dining room, and given that much of Santa Barbara’s waitstaff are of a transient nature — often college students just working a temporary job — that could prove a lingering disadvantage. The region’s travel boosters welcome the added attention, even without any stars this first time around. “It’s an incredible honor that Michelin found a wide range of our local restaurants worthy of attention, from taquerias to finedining restaurants, as well as the region’s wine scene,” said Kathy Janega-Dykes, the president and CEO of Visit Santa Barbara. “This reflects just how far our culinary scene has come in a short time and is a tribute to the creativity and hard work of local chefs and their teams. We are confident this will enhance the reputation of Santa Barbara as a culinary destination and attract visitors from far and wide to experience all our region has to offer.”

decade ago, they tried SoCo, for “South of Cota.” Then came the Lagoon District, for the dried up lagoon that gave Laguna Street it’s name. And now, this warehouse-laden neighborhood to the east of downtown is coalescing under the name “Haley Corridor” when more than a dozen business owners throw a moving party at their tasting rooms, breweries, and retailers this Saturday, June 15, 5-9 p.m. To me, “Haley Corridor” rings with enough existing identity and meaning that it might stick, as Haley Street is the dominant cultural hub in those parts, which also include stretches of Salsipuedes and Quarantina streets. But naming the area is the last thing on organizer Ryan Carr’s mind, as he’s just trying to stir up attention Thin sliced for the now-bustling area, once known more for prostitutes and petty crime than pours of pinot noir and pressed juices. “We aren’t trying to define an area and call it Haley Corridor,” said Carr, who moved his winery and tasting room from the Funk Zone to Salsipuedes Street in 2007. “We just wanted to highlight the fact that it’s not just a one-way street that gets you from State to Milpas or the freeway. It’s become a really nice retail thoroughfare.” For $35, participants get a wristband and a map to 15 establishments, each of Santa Cruz which are serving drinks and/or food. Carr Winery, for instance, is serving a flight of three wines, or a glass of one of them. Telegraph Brewing next door is doing the same with beer. There’s an empanada sampling at Buena Onda, and pairings at both Uncorked and Au Juice, which will be pouring their juice alongside bites. Twenty-Four Blackbirds is offering tours of its indoor cacao and vanilla farm, plus tastes of its newest chocolates. Keefrider Custom Furniture will do a demo and auction off a coffee table. The Mill at Haley and Laguna is also involved: wine at Potek, beer at Third Window, and non-alc bevvies at Millworks, where you can browse their wares. Additional participants include Pure Order Brewing, Rose Café, Catherine Gee, and the new Cajé coffee shop. “I just wanted to bring a little more attention to Haley,” said Carr. Tickets, which you’ll pick up either at Potek or BY MATT KET Carr depending on your last name, are on sale at TMANN By the bag nightout.com. BEEF TRI TIP

JUSTIN WEST OPENING LOCALE: Justin West, owner of Soul Cal Smokehouse and previously of Julienne and Wildwood Kitchen, sent out a press release last week announcing that he is opening a new concept in the Santa Barbara Public Market called Locale. “For some time now, I have been looking for a kitchen which would allow me to bring all of my different cooking to the community of Santa Barbara,” he wrote, referring to cooking classes, pop-up dinners, provisions, food beyond

barbecue, and hosting other chefs. “We will be doing business out of the other backcorner kitchen here at the Public Market, the former home of Pasta Veloce by Ca’ Dario,” he continued. “The menu is designed to feature a Julienne vibe, in this casual market setting. It will be counter service, but we will course things out for you. We will not have an ABC License, but you can eat in The Garden or at Wine + Beer or at one of the tables in front of our kitchen, where you can watch the action go down in our open kitchen.” See soulcalsmokehouse .com and localesantabarbara .com. .com MONARCH MOVES: The Monarch at the Montecito Inn announced changes recently. They added a relaxed section where guests first walk into the res restaurant called “The Lounge at The Mon Monarch.” Hotel guests and locals alike can enjoy the comfortable couches, plush oversized chairs, and cozy atmosphere for a glass of wine and Margarita’s sourdough baked bread, salad of Salanova lettuce over lunch, or handmade pasta for a latenight bite. It’s open seven days a week, 11:30 a.m.10 p.m., and offers a variety of small bites as well as a few larger plate selections, costing $6 to $22. For dinner, The Monarch remains open daily, 5-10 p.m., and now allows patrons to select from multiple courses and curate a tasting menu to their own liking. Prices are $55 for four courses ($85 with wine pairing); $85 for six ($130); $110 for eight ($170); and $165 for 12 ($255). Each dish can still be ordered à la carte. NEW TACOS: Readers Primetime and Jason tell me that a new restaurant is coming to 1213 State Street, the recently former home of Jersey Mike’s. A sign on the wall says “Taqueria Santa Barbara.” GOLETA JEANNINE’S: A couple of weeks ago, I stopped by the future home of Jeannine’s Bakery, coming to Hollister Village Plaza at 7060 Hollister Avenue in Goleta, a space previously occupied by Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. I was told they hope to open in July.

WINE FILM FEST: Ever since landing on the scene

more than five years ago to produce his interactive film project Vintage 2014, Wil Fernandez has worked to converge the worlds of wine and film. This year, he hosts the fourth annual Wine Film Festival, featuring 20 short films and feature film trailers from, among elsewhere, Slovenia, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand, Paso Robles, and Sonoma, each personally introduced by a director or producer.

8:30AM - 5:00PM SUNDAYS

Among the films are Screwed, a modern “silent” film about a date, with a twist, from the Netherlands; Tin City, shot over five years from that warehouse district of Paso Robles; Tiny Vineyards, about hobby viticulturists in Sonoma; and (R)evolution Champenoise: The Vineyard Rules, about everyone’s favorite bubbly region. “You never know who you’ll meet at one of these screenings,” said Fernandez, noting that past guests have included sommeliers Fred Dame and Brian McClintic and the cast of the Australian mockumentary Plonk. “You’ll see the best of a truly international genre of films that you likely will never discover otherwise, and you’ll sip the wines featured on the big screen in front of you for a full sensory experience.” The fest, which costs $35, is on Friday, June 28, 7:30-9:30 p.m., at Presqu’ile Winery (5391 Presquile Drive, Santa Maria). For $20 more, there is also a dinner option this year, with sandwiches from Bob’s Well Bread, starting at 6:30 p.m. See n winefilmfestival.com.

SOLVANG JAZZ FESTIVAL

In 2017, you put out Playing the ’60s, new variations theme of the ’60s tunes — even a medley of the Flintstones theme and “I Got Rhythm.” Was there a spark behind that concept? It is not the first time a jazz artist takes popular songs and jazzify them. Herbie Hancock comes to mind with his New Standard album, which very much influenced me. During the 1960s, the world changed, and the music with it. I have always thought it was a fascinating decade, and I grew up with music from the ’60s, including Hendrix, the Beatles, and Paul Simon. I honestly also thought that Mads Men was a cute name and we could have the sort of Mad Men ’60s look with the suits and skinny ties.

nce upon a time in the late 2000s, Solvang boasted an official Solvang Jazz Festival, founded by drummer Nesbert “Stix” Hooper and featuring artists such as Freddie Hubbard, Kamasi Washington, Take 6, and James Moody. Although the festival failed to become an ongoing tradition beyond a three-year run, enjoying high-caliber jazz in this enchanted tourist haven was delicious. Jazz still makes its way into Santa Ynez Valley each year thanks to the summer jazz concert series Jazz & Beyond, now in its eighth season, which takes place at the inviting, al fresco Solvang Festival Theater. The series launches Sunday, June 16, with acclaimed jazz violinist Mads Tolling and his band Mads Men. Fittingly for the Danish-flavored burg, Tolling was born in Copenhagen, but he has been based in the Bay Area for years. A young prodigy, Tolling moved to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music, during which time he met violinist Jean-Luc Ponty (for whom Tolling made a 2012 tribute album). Ponty introduced Tolling to Stanley Clarke, and after graduation, he joined the renowned bassist’s band. Tolling was also a member of the genre-melding, Grammywinning Turtle Island String Quartet for years. I recently spoke over the phone with Tolling about his solo work and the future of the jazz violinist.

COURTESY

VIOLINIST MADS TOLLING KICKS OFF SERIES

LISA SEE AT SBWC Turtle Island String Quartet was a unique, genre-crossing project, moving easily across classical, jazz, and other musical zones. Was that a rewarding chapter in your musical life? Yes, it was huge for me. I was a member and partner in that group for almost nine years, and it greatly shaped my musical ideas and also taught me a lot about what it takes to run a band — from the inside. We won two Grammys and did about four months of touring a year. I got to arrange and compose for the group, and I learned a lot about writing for string quartet. Since violins, violas, and cellos sound similar, writing for string quartet is not easy, and you have to have good content to make it work. You are currently in the upper ranks of jazz violinists, which remains a small scene compared to other instruments. Have you seen awareness and practice of jazz violin evolving upward in the last decade or so? I would like to think that we are in an upward trajectory. Some of the biggest names in jazz violin have passed, like my countryman Svend Asmussen, [Stéphane] Grappelli, and Didier Lockwood. Ponty and Jerry Goodman are less active than in the past.

We do have a strong group of current jazz violinists, including Regina Carter, Christian Howes, Jason Anick, and Zach Brock. You have performed in Solvang before. Do you have a special attachment to playing there, as a Danish hamlet in America? Yeah, I think this is our third time in Solvang. I love it there. Sometimes when creating a village away from the motherland, the village becomes more Danish than Denmark itself. In some ways it is a traditional version of what Denmark was 100 years ago. I found the same with Elk Horn in Iowa, which has a Danish Museum and a windmill. It is very sweet how the food traditions live on, and I must say the Danish pastry in Solvang is to die for. — Josef Woodard

Mads Tolling plays Sunday, June 16, 3 p.m. (gates open at 2:30 p.m.), at the Solvang Festival Theater, 420 2nd Street, Solvang. The Solvang jazz series continues on with Charged Particles (July 21), Julie Kelly with the Marshall Otwell Trio and Dave Becker (Aug. 18), and the Holy Crow Jazz Band (Sept. 8).

SBIFF AWARDED $60,000 IN GRANTS The Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) may be best known for its 11-day cinematic extravaganza that takes place each winter, but the nonprofit’s work is actually a year-round endeavor. Recently, the organization received tens of thousands of dollars in grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and California Arts Council (CAC). The monies will be used for its 2019 festival edition and educational programs, such as Film Camp, which offers underserved youth a fully paid sixday overnight stay at Camp Whittier, where they are taught the fundamentals of filmmaking and work on an original short film, among other activities. Funds

will also go to support SBIFF’s year-round program Mike’s Field Trip, which makes films available to 4th, 5th, and 6th graders in Santa Barbara county schools. “Thanks to the NEA and CAC, SBIFF can continue to serve as a platform for emerging voices,” said SBIFF Executive Director Roger Durling in a prepared statement, “as well as help nurture and inspire, through its various educational programs, the next generation of storytellers.” The 35th edition of SBIFF is slated to take place January 15-25, 2020. —Michelle Drown

Santa Barbara has long been a stomping ground for writers — Ross Macdonald, T.C. Boyle, Sue Grafton, Margaret Millar, and Pico Iyer, to name a few, have found literary fame while living in our seaside hamlet. The city is also host to the annual Santa Barbara Writers Conference (SBWC), which allows aspiring and seasoned scribes to comingle. Founded in 1972 by Barnaby Conrad, the sixday conference includes workshops, panels, speakers, and manuscript consultation. This year’s event kicks off June 16 by honoring author Lisa See with the Ross Macdonald Literary Award, which is bestowed on “a California writer whose work raises the standard of literary excellence,” according to the SBWC. The author of 11 books, See is no stranger to the conference; she began attending while working as a West Coast correspondent for Publishers Weekly between 1983 and 1996. “One of the great things about this particular conference,” See said in a recent interview with the Independent, “is that people come to learn to write and to share their writing, but [there are also] agents and editors and people like me back then who were actually in the business.” See became a published author with the release of her 1995 memoir, On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred-Year Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family. Since then, she has penned three mysteries and seven novels, including her latest, The Island of Sea Women, released this year. One key to writing a book, See said, is enthusiasm for your topic. “You have to be really passionate about what you’re doing. I think sometimes, people think, ‘If I write this, I’m going to make a bazillion dollars.’ … That can happen, but it’s really the wrong way in. You should really be writing what you’re absolutely passionate about and not worry about who’s going to read it or who’s going to buy it. … And the reason is this: It’s not an easy job. It comes with a lot of ups and downs.” See also advised not “waiting for the muse to arrive before you write,” she said. “When I’m writing, I write 1,000 words a day. … That’s not much [but] at the end of a week, I have a chapter. It’s about actually sitting down and doing the work.” The S.B. Writers Conference takes placeSunday-Friday, June 16-21, at the Hyatt S.B. (1111 E. Cabrillo Blvd.).

[Editor’s Note: For the first time since the Independent has been covering the Ojai Music Festival, we have the benefit of two sets of ears, as I am joined in filing this report by my worthy colleague Josef Woodard. Woodard is a dedicated Ojai regular with contents of 38 consecutive festivals stored in his copious biological hard drive. I’ll be writing about the concerts I witnessed in person, and Woodard will be adding details for those and others from his perspective. —CD]

or her fascinating if uneven turn as music director of Ojai’s 73rd annual fest, brilliant sopranoconductor Barbara Hannigan opened and closed the program with Stravinsky’s more accessible side. Her brave new semi-staged Rake’s Progress shook the stage on Thursday’s opener, and the ever-comfy neoclassical Pulcinella shared a Sunday finale program with the friendly stuff of Haydn’s “La Passione” symphony, and Gershwin, à la the “Girl Crazy” suite (from Hannigan’s Grammy-nabbing 2017 CD). Hannigan, making complexity look easy, handily juggled her roles as maestra and chanteuse. Between the Stravinsky bookends came highs and, if not lows, uncomfortable middling moments. Some music felt plainly out of place in this, one of America’s most daring and contemporary-oriented festivals, well-known around internationally. Ill-fitting mainstream items included Rachmaninoff, a bland “world music sampler plate” of songs, and Schoenberg’s mealy mouthed Mahler facsimile “Verklärte Nacht” (sounding meek compared to the program’s spikier, more “Schoenberg-ian” String Quartet No. 2). On the other hand, and from

he festival began in earnest on Thursday evening with Igor Stravinsky’s opera The Rake’s Progress, which was retitled as The Rake Project according to The Rake’s Project the legend on the large square box in the middle of the stage that comprised the abstract set’s chief element. Festival artistic director Barbara Hannigan emerged before the cast did to anoint the cube with stage fog from a spray can the size of a fire extinguisher. Then, the sides of the cube flapped down, revealing Welsh tenor Elgan llyr Thomas as Tom Rakewell, the protagonist of Stravinsky and W. H. Auden’s looney Faustian riff on William Hogarth’s series of narrative paintings. Soprano Aphrodite Patoulidou gave a magnificent performance as Anne Truelove, a role that launched Hannigan’s operatic career. I was back at the Libbey Bowl on Saturday for an evening program that combined the sublime and the not-so-successful. Hannigan gave two of the most extraordinary vocal performances ever seen anywhere, and took a breather in between while her vocal proteges in the Equilibrium mentorship program tested the patience of not a few veteran attendees with a medley of folk songs that were judged by some in the audience to be “not very Ojai.”

the “other” end of the spectrum, the festival highlight was the late Saturday night performance of Gérard Grisey’s Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil. Grisey’s “Spectralist” ideas filtered through some of this festival’s finest, and yes, most esoteric moments, as heard in “Lonely Child” by Claude Vivier (whose ritualistic opera Kopernikus was a memorable pinnacle of 2016’s fest), with Hannigan conducting the resident LUDWIG orchestra, and stellar soprano Aphrodite Patoulidou embodying the mystical texts. Early bird 8 a.m. concerts continued this post-spectral thread, with JACK taking on the hypnotic microtonal, textural and time-warping scores of Clara Iannotta, Tyshawn Sorey and Catherine Lamb. What made the album Crazy Girl Crazy fascinating was Hannigan’s provocative, effective blend of Gershwin, Berg and Berio. But on Sunday evening, arranger Bill Elliott’s “Girl Crazy Suite” capped the fest with just the right American Songbook show biz buzz. Hannigan’s got rhythm, virtuosity, fierce intelligence, a will to entertain, and other bracing virtues. She also has Grisey down. —Josef Woodard

The first shattering Hannigan appearance of that night was in John Zorn’s “Jumalattaret,” a song cycle based on the Finnish epic Kalevala. From giant, breath-defying held notes to huffing, whooping, and whispering, Hannigan took this story of the creation of the world through praise of multiple goddesses to places only a musical goddess could go. Later on, after the folk songs had done their presumably palate-cleansing work, she returned with the festival highlight, a wild piece by the spectralist composer Gérard Grisey called Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil. One of the great pleasures and values of the Ojai Festival is how it points the way toward a new canon of great musical works, and in recent years this implied map of the canonical future has been leading us in the direction of Grisey and his fellow spectralists. Using a remarkable array of unusual techniques including a “false interlude” of brushed percussion at the opening of the fourth chant, the piece was a dynamic sonic exploration of the threshold between life and death, and possibly also the end of the world. Drawing on texts that included the epic Gilgamesh and an inventory of the contents of an Egyptian tomb, these songs provided a new way of imagining what music can be. —Charles Donelan

➤ Halston (105 mins., NR) Frédéric Tcheng’s documentary chronicles the designer’s life, who began his career in the late 1950s — he first made a name for himself for designing Jackie Kennedy’s pillbox hat, which she wore to JFK’s inauguration — and became an international sensation in the 1970s thanks to his deconstructed clothing designs. Using sumptuous materials such as silk and chiffon, Halston’s creations were often made out of one contiguous piece of material, had no zippers or buttons, and were cut on the bias, thus achieving a simple, elegantly flowing dress. Halston is

Echo in the Canyon

NOW SHOWING Aladdin (128 mins., PG) Will Smith plays Genie (voiced fabulously by Robin Williams in the 1992 animated film) in this updated, live-action 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. Fairview/Fiesta 5

O Biggest Little Farm

(91 mins., PG)

Perhaps the biggest triumph at this year’s Santa Barbara International Film 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 self-education 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

O Booksmart

(102 mins., R)

This film gives the sense that the kids very much are alright. 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 Yale-bound 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, they are 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) Fiesta 5 Dark Phoenix (113 mins., PG-13) This 12th installment in the X-Men franchise picks up where 2016’s Apocalypse left off, focusing particularly on telekinetic Jean Grey (Sophie Turner). Grey goes rogue after she absorbs an unidentified cosmic force while on a mission into space. As her powers grow, Grey’s alter ego, the Dark Phoenix, is unleashed and causes worldwide destruction. James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and Nicholas Hoult also star. Camino Real/Metro 4

Echo in the Canyon (82 mins., PG-13) This documentary explores the L.A.’s Laurel Canyon 1967-69 music scene, which produced such iconic groups as the Byrds, the Beach Boys, and Buffalo Springfield. The Hitchcock

O Godzilla: King of the Monsters (132 mins., PG-13) The world is doomed. Giant monsters from the mists and myths have clambered into view and are fighting tooth, nail, and typhoon-blasting wing to claim the planet in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The computer-generated creatures (Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, King Ghidorah) appear alongside a group of human actors equally well recognized for their larger-thanlife roles — from Eleven in Stranger Things (Millie Bobby Brown) to Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) to the dweeb-in-chief of Silicon Valley (Thomas Middleditch). It’s a cast no latex-suit-wearing actor (as in the original gojira films of the 1950s) could possibly hope to defeat. While the monsters thunder their atomic breath at each other, it’s up to the humans to carry the plot, boldly giving their lines to move the story along, almost incidentally giving sense to the next barrage of long, loud, and violent “crypto-zoological” mayhem. In fact, it all becomes such a roaring good time that you can only wish that noisecancelling headsets were at hand. (JY) Camino Real/Metro 4

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 star.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): We may not have to travel to other

planets to find alien life. Instead of launching expensive missions to other planets, we could look for exotic creatures here on earth. Astrobiologist Mary Beth Wilhelm is doing just that. Her search has taken her to Chile’s Atacama Desert, whose terrain has resemblances to Mars. She’s looking for organisms like those that might have once thrived on the Red Planet. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to use this idea as a metaphor for your own life. Consider the possibility that you’ve been looking far and wide for an answer or resource that is actually close at hand.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Philosopher Martin Buber believed that

some stories have the power to heal. That’s why he said we should actively seek out stories that have the power to heal. Buber’s disabled grandfather once told Buber a story about an adored teacher who loved to dance. As the grandfather told the story, he got so excited that he rose from his chair to imitate the teacher, and suddenly began to hop and dance around in the way his teacher did. From that time on, the grandfather was cured of his disability. What I wish for you in the coming weeks is that you will find stories like that.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In the 1960s, Gemini musician Brian

Wilson began writing and recording bestselling songs with his band the Beach Boys. A seminal moment in his development happened while he was listening to his car radio in August 1963. A tune he had never heard before came on: “Be My Baby” by the Ronettes. Wilson was so excited he pulled over onto the shoulder of the road and stopped driving so he could devote his full attention to what he considered a shockingly beautiful work of art. “I started analyzing all the guitars, pianos, bass, drums, and percussion,” he told the New York Times. “Once I got all those learned, I knew how to produce records.” I suspect a pivotal moment like this could unfold for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. Be alert!

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran philosopher Michel Foucault

CAPRICORN

and complicated, so many-splendored and mysterious, articulated a unique definition of “criticism.” He said so fertile and generous. I’m amazed you can hold all that it doesn’t dish out judgments or hand down the poignant marvels you contain. Isn’t it sometimes a sentences. Rather, it invigorates things by encouraging struggle for you to avoid spilling over? Like a river at them, by identifying dormant potentials and hidden high tide during heavy rains? And yet every so often beauty. Paraphrasing and quoting Foucault, I’ll tell you that this alternate type of there come moments when you go criticism ignites useful fires and blank; when your dense, luxuriant HOMEWORK: Tell how you sings to the grass as it grows.

I hope you’ll practice this I suspect that the present time kind of “criticism” in the coming might be such a time. If so, here’s weeks, Libra — a criticism that a fragment of a poem by Cecilia Woloch to temporarily use as your motto: “I have doesn’t squelch enthusiasm and punish mistakes, but nothing to offer you now save my own wild emptiness.” instead champions the life spirit and helps it ripen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): America’s premier eventologist is Leo-

born Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith. When she was going through a hard time in 1991, she resolved to buoy her spirits by creating cheerful, splashy new holidays. Since then she has filled the calendar with over 1,900 new occasions to celebrate. What a perfect way to express her radiant Leo energy! National Splurge Day on June 18 is one of Adrienne’s favorites: a time for revelers to be extra kind and generous to themselves. That’s a happy coincidence, because my analysis of the astrological omens suggests that this is a perfect activity for you to emphasize during the coming weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished.” Virgo poet Mary Oliver made that statement. It was perfectly reasonable for her, given her occupation, although a similar declaration might sound outlandish coming from a non-poet. Nonetheless, I’ll counsel you to inhabit that frame of mind at least part-time for the next two weeks. I think you’ll benefit in numerous ways from ingesting more than your minimum daily dose of beauty, wonder, enchantment, and astonishment.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Help may be hovering nearby but in an unrecognizable guise. Rumpled but rich opportunities will appear at the peripheries, though you may not immediately recognize their value. A mess that you might prefer to avoid looking at could be harboring a very healthy kind of trouble. My advice to you, therefore, is to drop your expectations. Be receptive to possibilities that have not been on your radar. Be willing to learn lessons you have neglected or disdained in the past.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As much as I love logic and champion

rational thinking, I’m granting you a temporary exemption from their supremacy. To understand what’s transpiring in the coming weeks, and to respond with intelligence, you will have to transcend logic and reason. They will simply not be sufficient guides as you wrestle and dance with the Great Riddle that will be visiting. You will need to unleash the full power of your intuition. You must harness the wisdom of your body and the information it reveals to you via physical sensations. You will benefit from remembering at least some of your nightly dreams and inviting them to play on your consciousness throughout the day.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For the sake of your emotional and

spiritual health, you may need to temporarily withdraw or retreat from one or more of your alliances. But I recommend that you don’t do anything drastic or dramatic. Refrain from harsh words and sudden breaks. For now, seal yourself away from influences that are stirring up confusion so you can concentrate on reconnecting with your own deepest truths. Once you’ve done that for a while, you’ll be primed to find helpful clues about where to go next in managing your alliances.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’ve got a list of dos and don’ts for you. Do play and have fun more than usual. But don’t indulge in naïve assumptions and infantile emotions that interfere with your ability to see the world as it really is. Do take aggressive action to heal any sense of abandonment you’re still carrying from the old days. But don’t poison yourself with feelings of blame toward the people who abandoned you. Do unleash wild flights of fantasy and marvelous speculations about seemingly impossible futures that maybe aren’t so impossible. But don’t get so fixated on wild fantasies and marvelous speculations that you neglect to embrace the subtle joys that are actually available to you right now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20):“At times, so many memories trample my heart that it becomes impossible to know just what I’m feeling and why,” writes Piscean poet Mark Nepo. While that experience is familiar to everyone, it’s especially common for you Pisceans. That’s the bad news. But here’s the good news: in the coming weeks, your heart is unlikely to be trampled by your memories. Hence, you will have an excellent chance to know exactly what you’re feeling and why. The weight of the past will at least partially dissolve and you’ll be freer than usual to understand what’s true for you right now, without having to sort through confusing signals about who you used to be.

The incident, which is the subject of this action, occurred on August 7, 2017 at approximately 2:38p.m., in the City of Thousand Oaks, within the County of Ventura, State of California. 15. On August 7, 2017, at approximately 2:38p.m., Decedent FILOSO drove and operated his motorcycle, a 2006 Harley Davidson Heritage, northbound on Highway US 101 (Ventura Freeway), approximately 865 feet south of Rancho Conejo Boulevard, in the City of Thousand Oaks, County of Ventura, State of California. 16. Highway US 101 is a northbound‑southbound highway with direction of travel separated by a center median. The section of Highway US 101 where the instant collision occurred has four lanes for each direction of traffic. 17. On August 7, 2017, at approximately 2:38p.m., Decedent FILOSO lawfully drove his motorcycle northbound on the number one lane of northbound Highway US 101, approximately 865 feet south of Rancho Conejo Boulevard. 18. At said time, weather conditions were clear, and the roadway was dry. 19. At the same time, Defendant PHAM drove her 2016 Honda in the number one lane on northbound Highway US 101, approximately 865 feet south of Rancho Conejo Boulevard. Defendant PHAM’S vehicle was situated two vehicles ahead of Decedent FILOSO’S vehicle, separated by a gray pick‑up truck. 20. At said time, Decedent FILOSO was driving his motorcycle and was sufficiently, safely, and reasonably spaced behind the gray pick‑up truck. Upon information and belief, Defendant PHAM failed to keep a reasonably safe distance between her vehicle and the vehicle immediately ahead of hers for traffic conditions. 21. Immediately thereafter, traffic came to a complete stop, and Defendant PHAM slammed on her brakes to prevent a collision with the car ahead of her, forcing the gray pick‑up truck to take immediate action to avoid a collision and maneuvered and veered into the lane to the right (number 2 lane). During this sequence, Decedent FILOSO was unable to perceive Defendant PHAM’S stopping vehicle due to the profile of the gray pick‑up truck and the movement of said vehicle and subsequently came into contact and struck the rear left portion of Defendant PHAM’S vehicle. 22. Defendant PHAM failed to safely space her vehicle and to safely and

reasonably stop her vehicle and was forced to unreasonably and unsafely slam on her brakes given traffic conditions. Defendant PHAM’S operational actions in this sequence created a chain reaction whereby the gray pick‑up truck barely avoided collision with her car but trapped Decedent FILOSO into the subject collision with Defendant PHAM’S vehicle. Decedent FILOSO did not have sufficient time to safely apply his brakes or to fully avoid PHAM’S vehicle to the left or right of her vehicle immediately before the subject collision. 23. At the time, Defendant PHAM was driving at unsafe speeds given traffic conditions, i.e. slowing or stopped traffic, was driving too close to the vehicle ahead of her vehicle and was inattentive to other vehicles in front of them. 24. Decedent FILOSO sustained severe and fatal injuries as a result of the collision. Specifically, Decedent FILOSO was separated from his motorcycle upon impact and he sustained blunt force head trauma. Decedent FILOSO was lawfully wearing a helmet at the time of the collision. On August 17, 2017, Decedent FILOSO ultimately died from the injuries sustained in this collision. 25. On August 7, 2017, at approximately 2:38p.m., Defendant PHAM drove and operated her vehicle in a negligent manner, which caused the collision between her vehicle and that of Decedent FILOSO’S motorcycle as Defendant PHAM drove at an unsafe speed northbound in the number one lane of Highway US 101. Defendant PHAM failed to operate her vehicle in a reasonable, prudent, and safe manner, which caused the collision with Decedent FILOSO’S motorcycle. 26. On August 7, 2017 at approximately 2:38p.m., Defendant PHAM drove and operated her vehicle in a negligent, careless, and reckless manner, driving her vehicle inattentively and at an unsafe speed, failing to stop in a reasonably safe manner, and operating her vehicle unreasonably considering all factors such as weather, traffic, visibility, and other related matters as PHAM traveled northbound on Highway US 101. 27. As a driver of a motor vehicle, Defendant PHAM owed a duty to her fellow motorists and to the public at large to exercise reasonable care in the operation of her motor vehicle, to keep a look out for other vehicles, and to reasonably control the speed and movement of her vehicle. 28. Defendant PHAM failed to use reasonable care by operating her vehicle negligently, by failing to reasonably control the movement of her vehicle, by failing to drive at a speed that is safe for slowing traffic conditions, by failing to be attentive to the traffic conditions and other vehicles on the road around her, and by failing to properly maintain her vehicle in a safe manner for the road. As such, Defendant PHAM failed and was unable to prevent her vehicle from causing the collision with Decedent FILOSO’S motorcycle. 29. As a direct and proximate result of the negligence of Defendant PHAM, Decedent FILOSO sustained severe injuries, and died from those injuries. FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION WRONGFUL DEATH (As Against All Defendants PHAM and DOES 1‑50) 30. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate by reference every allegation contained in paragraphs 1 through 29 as through fully set forth herein. 31. Plaintiffs ANTHONY and DOMENIC are the heirs of Decedent FILOSO and are entitled to maintain an action for damages against Defendants for the wrongful death of Decedent FILOSO, including but not limited to damages as set forth in C.C.P. Section 377.61. 32. As a result of the injuries to and death of Decedent FILOSO, Plaintiffs are entitled to damages, including, but not limited to: loss of Decedent’s respective love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, affection, society, moral support, and loss of Decedent’s respective training and guidance. Additionally, Plaintiffs are entitled to recover damages, including, but not limited to: any special damages, such as financial support that the Decedent would have contributed to the family during either the life expectancy that Decedent had before his 1 death or the life expectancy of the Plaintiffs, whichever is shorter; loss of gifts or benefits that Plaintiffs would have expected to receive from the Decedent; funeral and burial expenses; and the reasonable value of household services

LEGALS

that Decedent would have provided. 33. As a direct and proximate result of the wrongful death of Decedent FILOSO, Plaintiffs ANTHONY and DOMENIC sustained pecuniary loss resulting in the loss of society comfort, attention, services, and support from Decedent FILOSO. 34. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant PRAM’S negligence and the death of Decedent FILOSO, Plaintiffs incurred funeral and burial expenses, as well as suffering extreme and severe emotional distress, pain, anguish, and other economic and non‑economic damages in amounts to be proven at trial. SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION NEGLIGENCE (As Against All Defendants PHAM and DOES 1‑50) 35. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate by reference every allegation contained paragraphs 1 through 34 as though fully set forth herein. 36. Defendants PHAM, and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, owed Decedent FILOSO a legal duty to use reasonable care and caution when driving on public roadways, including but not limited to keeping a lookout for other vehicles, controlling the speed and movement of their vehicles, following other vehicles at a distance that is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of other vehicles on the roadway, the traffic on the roadway, and the condition of the roadway. 37. Defendants PHAM, and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, breached that duty of care by failing to operate their vehicles in a safe and reasonable manner. Defendants PHAM and DOES 1 through 50, knew, or should have known, that driving at an unsafe speed for slowing and stopped traffic would result in serious injury or death Decedent FILOSO and others on the roadway. 38. Defendants PHAM and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, failed to take reasonable and necessary precautions while operating their vehicles before and at the time of the collision on northbound Highway US 101 on August 7, 2017 at approximately 2:38 p.m. 39. On August 7, 2017, at approximately 2:38p.m., Defendants PHAM and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, negligently drove and operated their vehicles so as to proximately cause the injuries to and wrongful death of Decedent FILOSO and statutory damages alleged by Plaintiffs ANTHONY and DOMENIC herein. 40. In contrast, at said time and place, Decedent FILOSO was acting with due caution, attention and care, and did not contribute to or cause the collision and/or injuries as described hereinafter. 41. Plaintiffs allege that Defendant PHAM is responsible for all injuries and eventual death of Decedent FILOSO sustained as a result of the accident. 42. Defendant PHAM failed to use reasonable care by operating her vehicle negligently, by failing to reasonably control the movement of her vehicle, by failing to drive at a speed that is safe for slowing traffic conditions, by failing to be attentive to the traffic conditions and other vehicles on the road around her, and by failing to properly maintain her vehicles in a safe manner or the road. As such, Defendant PHAM failed and was unable to prevent her vehicle from causing the collision with Decedent FILOSO’S motorcycle. 43. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant PHAM’S negligence, Decedent FILOSO was seriously injured after the motor vehicle collision caused by Defendant PHAM and DOES 1 through 50. Decedent FILOSO thereafter died as a result of these injuries. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs ANTHONY FILOSO and DOMENIC FILOSO, individually, and as Successors‑In‑Interest on behalf of Decedent KENNETH FILOSO, pray for judgment against Defendant LILIAN AI LY PHAM and DOES I through I 00 as follows: I.

Date of Notice: June 13, 2019 NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION AND PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING Cox Communications Headquarters Upgrade and New Critical Facility Project 22 South Fairview Avenue; 071-021-001 and -044 18-093-DPRV/MND NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Goleta has completed a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Cox Communications Headquarters

Upgrade project (described below) and circulated the MND for public review and comments from May 4, 2019, ending May 24, 2019. A public hearing to consider adoption of the MND and the merits of the Project has been scheduled as indicated below. The public hearing before the Planning Commission will occur on:

HEARING DATE AND TIME:

Monday, June 24, 2019 at 6:00 PM

HEARING LOCATION:

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

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FINDINGS: A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., CEQA), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations, §§ 15000, et seq., CEQA Guidelines), and the City’s Environmental Review Guidelines. The City of Goleta is acting as the Lead Agency.

The Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15064(f)(2), since revisions in the project plans, agreed to by the applicant, would mitigate the effects of the Development Plan Revision to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur and there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record that the project, as revised, may have a significant effect on the environment. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Cox Communications has requested approval of a Development Plan Revision (18-093-DPRV) with modifications that would add a new critical facility building, remove two existing buildings and make various site improvements encompassing the following

1. Demolition of Buildings A (3,360 square feet) and B (4,124 square feet). The uses within these buildings (office and warehouse use) would be relocated to the existing two-story Building C Headquarters (27,310 square feet). 2. Construction of an elevator on the south elevation of Building C Headquarters along with interior tenant improvements. The improvements to Building C Headquarters are to accommodate relocated uses from Buildings A & B and make the building accessible. 3. Construction of a new single-story 6,519 square foot Critical Telecommunications Facility (Critical Facility). The new building would be located in the southeastern portion of the site as shown on the site plan. 4. Installation of two new 750kw backup diesel generators in the existing utility yard located to the north of Building C Headquarters The two new generators will replace two of the three existing backup generators after the new Critical Facility is operational. One of the existing backup generators will remain. 5. The project includes construction of a new exterior loading area at Building C Headquarters, a new parking lot design, landscape changes, extension of existing site masonry screen walls, and relocation of the existing vehicular and pedestrian security access gates and fencing currently located 135 feet east of South Fairview to a new position 70 feet from the roadway edge. A new card access island for the gate will also be located just inside the driveway entrance. In addition to the above listed construction improvements, the following modifications are requested:
