Why’d you want to intern for the Indy during your summer break? To get more experience in journalism and see how a weekly paper is run! I’ve grown up reading through the Independent and seeing it everywhere, so it felt right to learn from the paper that, in a way, introduced me to print news.

What are you studying back at college, and do you know what you want to do when you graduate? I study Communications and am in the Professional Sales Program at the University of Washington, Seattle. Although I’m not sure exactly what I want to do when I graduate in 2020, I do know that I want to do something creative in a field where I’m not doing the exact same thing every day. I have really enjoyed interning at Indy and think that I might eventually want to work for a newspaper or a magazine, but time will tell.

You’re a ninth-generation Santa Barbaran. What’s something you’ve learned about your hometown by reporting on it? Even though I feel like I know this place like the back of my hand, interning has opened my eyes to all of the growth that’s happening in our city and how many impressive and influential people are connected to S.B. It feels tiny when you’re from here, but that doesn’t mean that there’s not a lot going on!

State Street Study Smacks City Hall

Following President Trump’s failed push to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, the 80-member Complete Count Steering Committee for Santa Barbara is working closely with Ventura County to allay fears and encourage all to complete the Census, which will determine the county’s federal funding for the next 10 years.

Community members can expect to see the committee at community events, schools, and places of worship beginning in September. The county has already accepted $350,000 and is expecting about $225,000 more from the state to aid in the complete count efforts.

businessfriendly reputation.

COURTS & CRIME Robert Charles Hawley, 84, was sentenced on 7/17 to 92 years to life in state prison after being found guilty on 3/25 of eight counts of child molestation and one count of sexual assault committed against three of his granddaughters for decades. An investigation into Hawley’s behavior was launched in 2016 when a local woman called 9-1-1 after witnessing Hawley inappropriately touching a young girl at Ralphs. The investigation eventually turned up multiple other victims, three of whom testified at his trial.

PEOPLE COU RTESY

COUNTY

The number of freshmen admitted to UC Santa Barbara dropped by about 2,000 students this year compared to last year, according to preliminary UC statistics released 7/22. More than a third of freshmen — most of whom are Asian American, Chicanx, or white — and nearly half the transfer students — mainly white, Asian American, or Chicanx — are the first in their family to head for university. African Americans represented 4 percent of both groups. The number of international students admitted to UCSB went up by about 7 percent.

Santa Barbara Described as Unfriendly to Business, Suffocated by Red Tape

By Tyler Hayden he City of Santa Barbara “does not have a business-friendly reputation,” its permitting process for new retailers is “expensive and high-risk,” and staff is “not enthusiastic to expedite development.” Those are three key findings from a newly released, no-holds-barred report on the State Street vacancy problem and the recommended steps City Hall ought to take to save its downtown.

The $84,000 report, commissioned by the City Council last January and published by the Manhattan Beach–based firm Kosmont & Associates this week, retreads some of the same ground that previous State Street studies and discussions have covered— downtown needs to cater more to locals, retail is now all about authenticity and the “shopping experience,” housing will bring life back to the area, and so on. But the report also makes new observations and suggestions that cut to the core of the issue, including its uncompromising critiques of the city’s planning department.

First, Kosmont stresses, the State Street dilemma is far from solved, despite recent comments from city leaders that a solution is right around the corner. The downtown retail vacancy rate is significantly higher than the rest of the city’s—9 percent compared to 3.2 percent — and in the last five years, countywide retail sales have increased while State Street retailers have seen a 15 percent dip.

The area has “lost its cache for high-end retail customers,” the report says, while property owners are keeping their asking lease rates too high “because of past rent expectations.”

Of the 1.5 million square feet of downtown retail space, approximately one-third “is not supportable in the long term” unless the city

offenses — but only seven people were actually taken into custody. “The person in crisis who would have otherwise ended up in jail now is given an opportunity to utilize the services the county already has,” Lee said.

The report on the co-response team’s success came up under the larger conversation at the July 17 Behavioral Wellness Commission meeting about California inmates deemed incompetent to stand trial (IST). There are currently 821 mentally ill inmates statewide who are classified IST but stuck in jail awaiting treatment.

In the county, five IST felony inmates are currently in jail. There have been 27 this year to date, and 58 last year, according to County Behavioral Wellness’s Suzanne Grimmesey.

Ultimately, more mental-health treatment beds are needed. Santa Barbara only has 16 acute-care beds and zero long-term beds. The county’s Community Corrections Partnership Workgroup was scheduled to meet this Wednesday after press time to discuss a proposal to fund a long-term, secure treatment facility to which people could be moved from the jail for treatment.

With a Community Services District in Montecito, They Could

by Melinda Burns ob Hazard , associate editor of the Montecito Journal and past president of Birnam Wood Golf Club, has finally speared a big fish in his campaign for a community services district in the affluent community: County Supervisor Das Williams.

At Hazard’s urging, Williams will convene and chair a meeting with Montecito’s water, sanitary, and fire districts to discuss the pros and cons of possible consolidation. Hazard favors merging only water and wastewater services, but both men believe that a community services district also could raise funds for Montecito’s library, trails network, ring nets, and debris basins.

“I look at this from a larger good-governance model,” Williams said, noting that unincorporated areas in the county such as Montecito have multiple special districts that serve many of the same customers. “It’s harder for people to know who to come to if they have a problem for government to solve.

There’s election battles that have been fought on these questions. It’s worth having a civil conversation about it.”

As Hazard sees it, a community services district could boost Williams’s campaign for reelection in November 2020, too. The embattled supervisor has recently lost ground in the Carpinteria Valley, where his neighbors are up in arms over his embrace of the cannabis industry.

Noting that Williams “may well face formidable election opposition” from Santa Barbara school board member Laura Capps, Hazard said in the June 27 Journal: “In return for his support of the Montecito and Summerland communities, Supervisor Williams could reasonably expect greater recognition for positive achievements.”

On Tuesday, Williams sent out formal invitations to the Montecito Water District, which serves residents of both Montecito and Summerland; the Montecito Sanitary District; and the Montecito Fire Protection District, inviting them to name a representative to a discussion about the possibility of forming a community services district. The meeting will be held later this summer.

‘Questionable Decisions’?

But the civility Williams hopes for in Montecito may prove elusive. Last November, on the heels of triple calamity—severe drought, devastating wildfire, and the deadly debris flow of January 9, 2018—a group of wealthy residents, including Hazard and other members of Birnam Wood, backed a slate of five candidates for the Montecito Water District and Sanitary District boards to the tune of $120,000, producing one of the most negative campaigns in Montecito history.

Taking aim at the Sanitary District, an award-winning agency commended by the state for its “dedicated, professional and capable staff,” the slate prevailed, winning three seats and the majority on the water board and two seats on the sanitary board, where it does not hold a majority. Williams endorsed three of the five candidates on the slate.

In the Journal, Hazard said “it would be unwise” for a new community service district to include the Montecito Fire Protection District and Montecito’s two elementary schools “because they do a great job on their own.” But the Sanitary District, Hazard declared, is “dysfunctional” and makes “questionable decisions.”

“The creation of a single Water Resources District is an idea worth exploring,” Hazard wrote. “The intent is simplicity of decisionmaking, economics of resources and faster responsiveness to community needs with local strategic input.”

the cost of land acquisition alone for a proposed debris basin on San Ysidro Creek at Randall Road has been estimated at up to $25 million.

Montecito has a median household income of $146,000. Will residents embrace new taxes for a smorgasbord of new services?

At a recent water board meeting, Director Ken Coates called a community services district “a poor man’s cityhood.” “Hazard’s premise in all this is helping Das get a win of some sort that will help him get reelected,” he said. “If the intent is that money would somehow magically fall out of the sky, it’s not going to happen.”

A bid for Montecito cityhood failed on the ballot in 1991. Today, some residents say a community services district may not be the answer, either. “For the 25 years I’ve been here, the Montecito Sanitary District has been operating just fine,” said J’Amy Brown, who has led both the Montecito Planning Commission and Montecito Association.

“They’re financially solid, they’re managerially solid, and it’s one thing we don’t have to worry about.

Woodward’s attorney peppered Cerf with more than 35 questions that Cerf ’s attorney objected were “unwarranted in number.” Likewise, he sought refuge from the “complexity or quantity” of queries, citing legal code designed to shield parties from “unwarranted annoyance, embarrassment, oppression or undue burden and expense.”

Judge Sterne rejected these arguments and ordered him to answer the questions. Woodward’s “requests for admissions,” Sterne concluded, concerned Cerf ’s “alleged head injury and medical treatment,” which was germane to the litigation.

TO THE RESCUE? Dario Pini has enlisted his lawyer in an attempt to stop mass evictions at his former properties.

Pini Comes to Tenants’ Defense

D

ario Pini’s tenants have turned to their former landlord for help, looking for affordable apartments after receiving notices to vacate from new landlord Bill Hoffman. The Santa Barbara Superior Court appointed Hoffman after the city sued Pini over his decrepit buildings, infested with rats and bedbugs, and suffering rot, mold, and clumsy electrical and plumbing repairs. But now, the city’s attempt to save the tenants’ health and well-being has run into the numbers of people Pini allowed to live in the apartments. Hoffman intends to evict 52 of the 99 sets of tenants under his care due to overcrowding. Many are nuclear families of parents and children.

Last Thursday morning, Pini’s attorney, Paul Burns, asked Judge Colleen Sterne for permission to hear his request to prohibit mass eviction at the next status update, which is set for August 2, and Judge Sterne agreed.

Burns told reporters that Pini was angry at the treatment of his tenants: “He made me” file the motion, Burns said.

According to the court papers, Hoffman should have told Pini — who learned of the

mass evictions from an article in this paper — that the mass evictions were coming. Burns agreed that extended family members in the units should not receive relocation benefits but that they shouldn’t be evicted either. He also asserts children cannot be counted when calculating overcrowding.

When asked recently about the trauma evictions would cause low-income tenants ejected into Santa Barbara’s razor-thin rental market, City Attorney Ariel Calonne replied that the city had asked for the Housing Authority to be the receiver for reasons that are now obvious. The city could not control the receiver’s every action, he said.

According to deputy city attorney John Doimas, the city code adheres to the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) to determine overcrowding. The IPMC gives 70 square feet for a bedroom and 50 square feet per person per bedroom. The Housing Authority will add two people in a living room, and the Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara, a group of volunteer attorneys to whom many tenants have turned, believes two in a bedroom plus one more is appropriate.

hat was first launched as a far-fetched environmental scheme 13 years ago — local governments buying and selling renewable energy to meet residents’ electrical needs — became a reality this week with the Santa Barbara City Council’s unanimous approval, matching a similar effort approved by the county supervisors last week. The cities of Goleta, Carpinteria, and Guadalupe are poised to do the same, all propelled by the climate crisis and assurances that “community choice” plans, as they are called, are economically viable.

The City of Santa Barbara, as is often the case, has chosen a separate path from the other local governments. Councilmembers cited increased local control, speed of implementation — by 2021 — and the option to invest in new micro-grid infrastructure that could enhance the “resiliency” of Southern California Edison’s outdated infrastructure.

All governmental entities involved are aspiring to the goal of 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030. (Major utility companies are required by law to generate 80 percent of their power via renewables by that same year.) In this context, community choice has been hailed by supporters as “a magic bullet,”

because it can reportedly satisfy 25 percent of the electricity needed by city residents.

Under community choice plans, local governments can directly purchase electricity from renewable generators that major utility companies — like Edison and PG&E — are required to carry on their power lines. They can then sell that electricity to residents. City planner Matt Fore estimated this green electricity will cost the average residential customer about $6 more per bill.

Fore estimated it would cost $4 million for the program to get off the ground and take about five years for it to become financially stable. He warned councilmembers they will have to deal with ratepayer ire over any billing glitches and intermittent power outages. Councilmember Randy Rowse, skeptically cautious in his support, stressed that reliability of service will be essential.

Several councilmembers recognized the Community Environmental Council and the League of Women Voters for relentlessly pushing community choice, which appeared dead on arrival several times in recent years because of negative economic reviews. “This is really an important vote today,” said Mayor Cathy Murillo.

Realtors Win Big in Showdown over Inspection Reports

T

by Nick Welsh

he Realtors showed up in Santa Barbara’s City Council chambers this Tuesday armed with double the petition signatures needed to qualify a ballot measure for this fall’s election that would eliminate the controversial Zoning Inspection Report (ZIR), which even its supporters admit is seriously flawed.

On the other side sat City Attorney Ariel Calonne — nursing an ailing Achilles tendon — who insisted the Realtors’ measure could not withstand legal challenge. The city’s General Plan, he stated, specifically requires ZIRs whenever residential properties are sold. He described the initiative as a legal “nullity.” But with Mayor Cathy Murillo the only council member actually supporting the ZIRs, it was not much of a standoff. Four years ago the Grand Jury issued a scathing report against ZIRs, and Realtors have long been outraged over them. Councilmembers Randy Rowse and Meghan Harmon, it turned out, had recently burnt up their cell phones trying to craft a compromise the Realtors could live with. They succeeded. The deal sailed through on a 5-2 vote, with Murillo and Sneddon opposing.

The Realtors have agreed to keep their initiative off the November ballot—which will save the city $200,000 in election costs.

In exchange, the council agreed to suspend the ZIR program immediately, meaning no more on-site inspections. (As a practical matter, those inspections had already ceased in the wake of a lawsuit filed by the Association of Realtors and backed by the Pacific Legal Foundation. Though that lawsuit ultimately failed, it inspired significant changes; inspections took place strictly on a “drive-by” basis.) Under the new deal, the only information provided to prospective buyers will be what’s in the street file and can already be read by anyone with access to the city’s online property registry.

In any given year, 500 to 700 properties are sold within city limits that had required Zoning Inspection Reports. About 2 to 4 percent of the reports might red-flag zoning problems, such as more kitchens or bathrooms than the zoning allows, not enough

off-street parking, hedges higher than code calls for, or encroachments into setbacks that must be remedied. The ZIRs were started in 1974 as a crowbar to exact compliance with zoning laws, protect would-be buyers, and maintain the integrity of neighborhood character. But the reports are only as good as the inspectors involved and as solid as the files with which they worked. Problems missed during successive inspections have been “suddenly” discovered, Realtors complain, leaving prospective buyers and sellers responsible for fixing expensive discrepancies they never knew existed. Deals have fallen out of escrow, and much aggravation needlessly inflicted.

City Attorney Calonne acknowledged such frailties as “human error.” Thomas Schultheis, spokesperson for the Realtors, said the immediate suspension of the program would “eliminate the human element.”

Five years ago, the Realtors, led by Bob Hart, began the charge to repeal the ZIRs and almost succeeded. (Hart would initiate the recent lawsuit as well, and it was he who sparked the signature drive.) The Grand Jury found that the reports were unreliable and inconsistent. The council responded by promising a host of administrative reforms.

“We never got it done,” stated Councilmember Randy Rowse, whose change of heart on the reports helped sway many of his fellow councilmembers. “It’s a worthless tool,” he said in an interview before the meeting. “For all the pain and misery it’s caused, it wasn’t consistent.”

In the meantime, the council voted to initiate amendments to the city’s general plan and zoning rules that will allow the ZIRs to exist in name only, thus satisfying the letter of the law but altering its spirit.

Councilmember Kristen Sneddon — no fan of the ZIRs herself — objected to the lack of public process and expressed concern she’d been apprised of the details of the deal only an hour before Tuesday’s council meeting started. The proposal will now be referred to the Planning Commission, but only for their recommendation, not their approval. The Planning Commission, Sneddon was told, was the avenue for pubn lic input.

Taking the Piss Out of the Dog

ORDER IN THE COURT: Johnny Stumps

was not in the courtroom. Neither, could I tell, were either of his parents as I parked myself up close and personal in one of the padded seats offered in Judge Colleen Sterne’s chambers. But I wasn’t there for Stumps.

Instead, I was on hand for what I hoped would be yet another epic showdown over Hollister Ranch and whether the last eight and a half miles of privately held and publically inaccessible coastline in all of California could somehow be opened up to the public. A small busload of predator attorneys showed up to argue the fine points of the fine points, none of which I could track.

The Stumps case was just a warm-up act.

A couple of brown-shoed attorneys from out of town showed up when his name was called and kicked dirt on each other’s ankles in front of Judge Sterne. The weight of all their words appeared to pin Sterne to her bench. The acoustics of Sterne’s courtroom are notoriously unaccommodating. Still, I managed to hear enough.

Johnny Stumps’s real name is John C. Strumpfler and on December 27, 2016, he moved from Ventura County to Santa Barbara, still known for good reason as the home of the nearly dead or newly wed.

Stumps, as near as I could tell, was not about to get married. Apparently, that left the other option, and on March 24, 2017, Strumpfler

died of a heroin overdose. His body was found in his room at one of the four soberliving houses run by Stalwart Clean & Sober Inc. here in town. From what I could glean

on Facebook, Stumps was beefy enough to look like he could be trouble, but endowed with a smile goofy enough to be sweet. If he were alive, he’d be 25. The Strumpfler family, it turns out, is suing Stalwart for not taking better care of their Johnny C. They are also suing an entity called Community Solutions Inc. (CSI), a Connecticut-based conglomerate to which the county sheriff pays $2 million a year for coordinating reentry services for people with a past. CSI contracts, in some fashion, with Stalwart. Stumps was on parole at the time of his death.

Attorneys for CSI and Stalwart argued the case should be thrown out before it even started. Johnny C. didn’t just break the rules by taking drugs on premises, they argued; he broke the law. He had what the attorney for CSI liked to call “unclean hands.” He cited something called the Drug Dealer Liability Act, which limits the claims that can be brought by people who violate laws governing “illicit substances.” He talked a lot of about legislative intent. If elected officials meant to open the doors for OD’d addicts to sue, they would have said so.

Naturally, attorneys for Johnny C.’s family argued the picture was more complex. Johnny Stumps was a longtime addict with a well-

Local Business. Local Impact.

documented history of being “treatment resistant.” By the metrics deployed by CSI and Stalwart, he was a high-risk offender who’d tested dirty for drugs five times in the nine months prior to his death. Admittedly, that was before CSI got him and assigned him to Stalwart. But once ensconced, Stumps missed group therapy more than a few times.

And CSI couldn’t say with any certainty if he was making his 12-Step meetings or not.

Given the intensity of Johnny C.’s problems, perhaps CSI should never have referred him to Stalwart. And once Stumps messed up, maybe CSI should have notified his parole officer and transferred him someplace else.

His parents charged Stumps’s body wasn’t discovered for 19 hours, even though his car was still in the lot.

This case raises genuinely tough questions about the limits of personal responsibility at a time when more than 323,000 Americans have died of opioid-related overdoses since 2010. Much of this slaughter has been

self-inflicted and legally executed thanks to a few impossibly successful pharmaceutical companies and their allies within the Drug Enforcement Administration and Congress.

Most addicts, however, don’t just die. The Journal of American Medical Association recently published a report indicating that every year, we lose more than one million “disability adjusted life years” to opioid addiction. The Washington Post recently released

2.00

a series on opioid prescriptions, detailing how 76 billion pills were prescribed in the United States between 2006 and 2012. In Santa Barbara County, that number was 99 million. That translates to around 30 pills per man, woman, and child per year. Little wonder that we had 120 opioid-related deaths here between 2012 and 2016. The numbers since would have been even higher but for the 404 overdose reversals accomplished courtesy of Naloxone.

Halfway houses and rehab homes have since become a thriving cottage industry said to be worth $42 billion; some are lifesavers, others are death traps. Since 1998, 25 bills have been introduced in Sacramento to regulate what’s clearly a Wild West industry.

Only three made it to the governor’s desk.

Not one, strikingly, has been signed.

At times, Judge Sterne speaks with such ornate precision she seems to be channeling the spirit of Oliver Wendell Holmes. But this week, Sterne was almost poetic, wistful even, responding to this lack of legislative intent. “To me, this is an area where there are gaps,” Sterne replied. “There are certain areas,” she added with a pause, “of silence.”

The case, Sterne decreed, will go forward.

Those gaps and silences will be filled when the trial starts on August 26.

Johnny C. Stumps may not have been in court this week. He will be then.

The Das & Laura Show

New Polling Suggests Dem-on-Dem Race for 1st District Supe Is Wide-Open

T

he crucial number in an intriguing private poll, now circulating in Democratic circles, that maps the political landscape for a challenge by Laura Capps to the reelection of Supervisor Das Williams: 44.

Das Williams That’s the percent of 403 likely voters surveyed in the 1st District who described themselves as “undecided” in a likely match-up between the incumbent and S.B. school board member Capps in the March 2020 election.

Capps has not yet declared her candidacy, but she has told friends and associates in recent weeks that she expects to announce in August.

The poll was commissioned by a handful of supporters that has been urging Capps to run and conducted early this month by Strategies 360 Research, a Seattle-based political shop. A polltaker that worked on the survey shared their research on condition of anonymity in order to discuss proprietary information.

Just a few months ago, Williams looked like a mortal lock for reelection to the seat representing the eastern county—including Montecito, Carpinteria, unincorporated areas and much of the city of S.B. That nearly half of voters are undecided, according to the poll, suggests that recent hostilities over the county’s expansive new pot ordinance, fueled by revelations about Das’s cozy relationships with growers, have made him more vulnerable.

Some top line results:

•Capps led, 32-to-24 percent, when voters were asked who they would support if the election were held today.

•Williams is better known, with 62 percent of those surveyed expressing an opinion, compared to 47 percent for her; but the ratio of those who view him favorably rather than unfavorably—38-to-24 percent—is narrower than hers—34-to-13 percent.

•Voters by a ratio of 46-to-33 percent say they are “dissatisfied” rather than “satisfied” about the county’s handling of legalized marijuana cultivation.

WHAT IT MEANS: Seven months before the election, an eternity in political time, the private survey results portend a very competitive race in which the quality of the fundamentals of the respective campaigns —how they compete on message, fundraising, and on-the-ground organization will be pivotal.

Some data points within the undecided group that could be crucial:

Health & Wellness Programs Sansum Clinic’s unified, patientfirst approach to healthcare is built around you. We provide health education programs at low or no-cost to the community. Learn more at www.SansumClinic.org.

Age. Overall, more than two-thirds of registered voters in the district are 50 years and older, compared to one-third 49 and younger (68-to-32 percent); Capps currently leads among the older voters, 35-to25 percent, with the poll showing that 60 percent of undecideds 50 years or over.

Change. Undecideds said they would prefer a new supervisor to Das’s re-election by a larger margin—46-to-13 percent —than did the universe of voters, who preferred a new representative by 36-to-30 percent ratio.

Party. Among undecideds, the survey found that 49 percent are Democrats, 23 percent Republicans and 28 percent No Party Preference independents or third party voters; these proportions correspond with overall district registration in the secretary of state’s most recent report: 49 percent Democrats, 19 percent Republicans, 27 percent NPP and 5 percent third party.

A contest between two steadfast liberal Democrats, matching Das’s progressive record on City Council, in the Legislature and as a supe against Laura’s work on education, poverty and environmental issues, along with her connection to S.B.’s political family dynasty, many Dems are anxious about a campaign likely to test and strain loyalties.

“I’m gonna do one of the few smart things in my life,” said one high-ranking Democrat, “and stay out of this one.”

FOR THE RECORD: Capps would not confirm she is a candidate but said she is “pleased by broad community encouragement that goes beyond the cannabis issue.” Williams said he won’t “go into a tizzy because of unsubstantiated polling numbers. I like Laura and it would be sad if she tried to run against me.”

Dr. Thomas Francis Dixon 12/27/1946 – 5/19/2019

Tom Dixon passed peacefully at home in the loving presence of his wife Sue, son Shannon and daughters Sienna and Amy after years of struggling with Alzheimer’s Disease.

The second oldest of eight siblings born into a career Air Force family, Tom felt comfortable in many environments and embraced many cultures. He was born in Pasadena, and growing up he lived in Long Beach; Edgemont, CA; Arlington, VA; Tripoli, Libya; Mount Holly, NJ; and Scott Air Force Base in southern Illinois, where he graduated from Mascoutah High School in 1964. He graduated from the University of Illinois, ChampaignUrbana in 1968 with a major in physical anthropology. Tom then served for 2 years in the Peace Corps in what is now Eritrea.

Tom had developed a sense of adventure and a commitment to helping people which led him to choose a career in medicine. In 1972, he attended the University of California, Santa Barbara in order to complete the pre-med classes he needed, which is where he met Sue Giles. After completing their studies, they married and immediately set off for Guadalajara, Mexico, where Tom began his medical studies.

They enjoyed seeing the amazing archaeological sites and experiencing the Mexican culture. After two years, he transferred to the University of Southern California medical school in Los Angeles, where he received his MD in 1978. He went on to complete a Family Practice residency in San Pedro, CA. After residency, Tom accepted the position of Medical Director of the Isla Vista Medical Clinic. He was also hired as a staff physician at the UCSB Student Health Center, which eventually became his primary employer until he retired in 2013.

His many patients and colleagues remember him for his skill and his kind and gentle manner.

Tom shared his love of nature and backpacking with Sue. Their most memorable backpacking trips included climbing Mt. Whitney (which was partially snow-covered at the time), and hiking the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim (and back again!). Tom and Sue also shared a passion for live music, and regularly enjoyed attending Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Grateful Dead concerts, and other music festivals.

Tom always took his responsibilities as a citizen both locally and globally very seriously.

He served on the board of Let Isla Vista Eat, and on the predecessor of the Isla Vista Redevelopment Agency, as well as participating in countless community and political meetings for the betterment of the quality of life in Isla Vista.

Tom and Sue loved to travel.

They adopted children from Peru and China. With their children, they did road trips all over the US and even a trip to China. Tom and Sue traveled to Ireland, Scotland, England, Paris, Italy, Mexico, Guatemala, Alaska, Canada, Southeast Asia, Tahiti, Tibet, and Nepal in addition to countless trips 18

in American southwest. Telluride, Colorado was a special favorite.

He was a humble, egalatarian man who quietly walked the earth with a dry sense of humor, kindness, and a powerful intellectual curiosity. He sought nothing more than to be of service to others and to live in harmony with the earth.

Tom’s life will be celebrated on August 10 at 2:00 pm at the Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 820 N Fairview, Goleta.

Linda Lee Atchison 3/11/1937 – 6/13/2019

On June 13, 2019, after a brief illness, God called home a beautiful soul. Linda Lee Atchison was lovingly surrounded by her family as she peacefully embarked on her journey from this world to the next, where we she is now healthy, full of joy, and most likely redecorating her new, heavenly mansion!

Linda was born in Kearney, Nebraska on March 11, 1937 to Rollin G. Downing, and Bernice E. Downing (Bailey), both of Kearney, Nebraska. In Kearney, Linda lived a somewhat idyllic childhood, growing up with her younger brother, George, and her older sister, Susie.

The stories of her childhood are endless, filled with adventure, and a little bit of mischief! In 1952 the family moved to Santa Barbara, California.

Linda attended her final year of Jr. High school at Santa Barbara Jr. High, and went on to attend Santa Barbara High School where she graduated as a National Honor Student.

Linda married her high school sweetheart, Charles V. Eckert III in 1955. Together they had two children.

Linda was a devoted homemaker and mother. She had a unique gift for decorating, and “home” was always a beautiful place, immaculately kept and decorated in keeping with Linda’s one-of-a-kind flair.

In 1971 Linda married the “love of her life”, Dr. Joseph Leslie Atchison, lovingly known by all who knew him as “Dr. Joe”, or “Doc”.

Together the two travelled the world with family and friends. They enjoyed a vibrant social life. The couple hosted beautiful dinner parties with Linda always impressing their friends with her love and skill for preparing scrumptious dinners.

Linda also actively served on the Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital Women’s Auxiliary. She was a 50-year member, past president and historian of the PEO Sisterhood, Chapter IJ, a past member of Children’s Home Society, and a sustaining member of Hospice.

Linda loved adventure and excitement! As a little girl she would saddle up her horse and take off riding for hours at a time. Later in life she pursued her pilot’s license, and even gave car racing a try! She was artistic and enjoyed painting, sewing, calligraphy and paper quilling.

Her love for gardening was evident in her artistic creation of special outdoor garden areas at her homes.

JULY 25, 2019

Linda always had fresh flowers set out, usually cut from her own gardens.

Linda spent her last years enjoying the company of her family and close friends. She also loved spending time with her very special friend and companion, Derrick Lloyd of Goleta.

Linda was preceded in passing by her father, Rollin G. Downing, her mother, Bernice (Bea) E. Dietel, her husband, Joseph Leslie Atchison, and her brother, Rollin (George) Downing. Linda is survived by her children, Charles V. Eckert IV (Susan Eckert) of Goleta, and daughter Heidi Peet (Bob Peet) of Lompoc.

Linda was so proud to be “Grammie” to six grandchildren, Antonia Shaw, Charles V. Eckert V (Vinnie), and Joseph Eckert of Santa Babara, and Amy Shaw, Jessica Paniagua and Benjamin Peet of Lompoc, and “Gi-Gi” to ten great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Patsy Downing, and her sister, Susie Tatum.

A celebration of Linda’s life for close friends and family will be held on August 3, 2019 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at The Beachside restaurant in Goleta. Remembrances may be made in any form desired by friends.

Jamee Craig Aubrey

Our beloved son and brother, Martin B. Perrell, known as “Capa,” passed away of natural causes on July 4, 2019 in Oak Park. He was 62. Capa was a gentle giant with a strong voice who shared what he had to offer during his entire life.

He was an amazing cook and big brother who saved his little sister’s life and protected her from bullies.

He wrote rock songs for himself in his head. Capa endured schizophrenia from about the age of 19 and preferred to live under the sky rather than indoors. He was kind, funny, gave excellent advice, and an absolute original. Being very athletic, Capa was a star varsity football player with a mean tackle for the Santa Barbara Dons. He was also on their wrestling team. Capa could teach himself how to fix or make just about anything until debilitating mental illness took his mind hostage. For example, he was responsible for tile work in the family home we built. We love you dearly Capa and miss you. Capa is survived by his mother, Antoinette Perrell, his sisters Dominique and Francesca, and his nieces Jaimie Parsons, Deirdre Babcock, and Michaela Babcock.

MAGIC: Errol Williams was many things, but Santa Barbara knew him well from the way he could make everyone at The Palace feel they were the most important person in the room.

Errol E. Williams 1951-2019

A Local Legend One love! One heart!

Let’s get together and feel all right.

E

BY M I C H E L L E C O O K rrol E. Williams lived by these words for the

67 years he spent on this Earth. On the gray and foggy Santa Barbara morning of June 8, he left our world to explore new horizons.

Since we know he brought joy, love, and laughter everywhere he walked in this world, we are certain that he’s doing the same at his next stop.

Born on December 1, 1951, in Kingston, Jamaica, Errol likely entered this life with a smile on his face and extra love in his heart. He spent his early years in Kingston and began a “career in the food industry” at a young age as a milk delivery boy. He never forgot the before-dawn work and often told stories of delivering milk in the dark. He must have liked it as he kept his focus on the food industry after he moved to the United States.

Errol first landed in Virginia and then tried Minneapolis. Luckily for us, he finally settled in sunny Santa Barbara, where he combined his restaurant and amazing people skills to create a standard for local establishments that was hard to duplicate. He shared his talents with the most elite restaurants in town, including Michael’s Waterside, El Encanto, and The Biltmore.

But, he spent his last 26 years at The Palace Grill where he became The Palace and The Palace became him.

There, through his vision, leadership, and love for others, Errol created an iconic place to celebrate a special day or just a place to go and feel loved. He left behind a long-term staff that considered him a mentor, a friend, and, more importantly, family: “We celebrate his life and love in everything we do … how we treat each other, how we laugh, love, and have fun. … His spirit lives on in the Palace,” the restaurant wrote in a farewell for Errol.

Errol is remembered for many things at the Palace beyond his leadership. It would not be unusual to find him demonstrating his “yoga moves” before hours by standing on his head between two chairs or gliding through the restaurant using his wellhoned tai chi moves. He often referred to the staffers as “my boy” or “child” in a loving manner that was always heartwarming. At times, especially when he

was very busy, his Jamaican accent was so strong that they had a hard time understanding him! But, some of the best memories everyone mentioned were Errol’s Halloween costumes. From one year to the next, he would be the “Rasta Fairy,” the “Gingerbread Man,” or the “Jester Clown.” Then there was the time he wore the pink tutu. Errol was always such a good sport.

When he wasn’t making you feel like the most important person in the room, Errol also loved good food (the spicier the better); fine wine (he never met one he didn’t like); doing yoga, tai chi, or Pilates; spending time with his adorable dog Rollo (and before him, Santo); walks on the beach with his wife; and just savoring quiet moments in his charming and serene home.

As it was in the beginning, (one love) So shall it be in the end, (one heart).

Errol leaves behind his loving wife of 33 years, Debra Jones Johnson. When she met him, she said she knew that she would have to share him with the world, and her ability to do this helped to lead to a long and happy partnership between them. It was one that all their friends admired and respected.

Errol also leaves behind two happily married sons, four grandchildren, two sisters, two brothers, numerous nieces and nephews, a proud and loving mother, and too many friends to count.

Errol knew no strangers. He touched so many lives in Santa Barbara that he is considered a local legend. He had a way of making people feel special — of making them laugh and even sing! Errol’s life epitomized the words of the Louis Armstrong song “What a Wonderful World,” which all Palace diners will recognize. The restaurant’s staff says that whenever they hear this song, their thoughts will inevitably turn to Errol. They’ll think of him and smile.

Godspeed our friend. The world will not be the same without you, but your spirit lives on in all of us.

Arlene D’Amuro Blades 08/23/1943 – 7/10/2019

Arlene D’Amuro Blades, loving mother, passed away peacefully at her home, in the late afternoon on July 10, 2019, at the age of 70. Born Arlene Celeste D’Amuro in Niagra Falls, NY on August 23, 1948, she and her family would then move to Sacramento, CA in 1960. As a young woman during the counter-culture revolution of the 1960s, she witnessed one of the most critical periods in American history. She experienced first hand, and took part in, the profound changes taking place that would affect music, attitudes towards the government, the empowerment of women, and the civil rights movement. She moved to Santa Barbara in 1968, and after a short marriage, raised her only son, passing all her knowledge and life experience to him.

SUMMER 2019 Roberto Benavidez: Piñatas of Earthly Delights

here are still a few of us left who worked on the Apollo Project. If that’s you, hoist a glass of whatever it is you drink at our age. And think back….

With slide-rule accuracy and paper blueprints, with computers less powerful than a 10-year-old wristwatch, and only a precious few years after the Van Allen Radiation Belts were discovered, we went to the moon.

Six times out of the seven attempts.

Twelve human beings.

Walked.

On the moon.

Played golf.

Drove a Goleta-built moon buggy.

Twenty-one humans launched.

Twenty-one humans returned safely.

Most of us who are left from working on the Apollo Project were young whippersnappers at the time, working for adult leaders. My first job after high school was creating Van Allen Radiation Belts in a bottle in a laboratory in Huntington Beach. I was later fortunate to be a test technician on the Command Module at North American Aviation at 22124 Lakewood Boulevard in Downey, working in a cavernous clean room. My first job after graduating from UCSB as a young physicist in 1969 was researching the moon rocks at Rockwell Science Center in Thousand Oaks.

Excuse me for flights of nostalgia in my seventies.

WE DID IT. WE’RE PROUD. I hope we do it again. — Wayne B. Norris, S.B.

I

just returned from one of my frequent trips to El Paso, Texas, visiting friends and family.

Seeing how the recent caravans of refugees and the mass detention facilities in the area have created a huge political vacuum there, I see how the issue of immigration enforcement has ignited locally, an issue that impacts our community.

I think it’s really stupid and a waste of money having ICE agents and Border Patrol Officers arresting and tracking down undocumented people.

I’m all for arresting criminals who pose a threat to society. But there is such a blatant hypocrisy within federal law that ignores all of the legitimate businesses that attract and hire undocumented people. Americans need to educate themselves and understand that there is a global demand for

undocumented labor that impacts our schools, social services, and legal system.

Governments make big money off the backs of undocumented people. Why is there such a push to count all people in the upcoming 2020 Census?

Because that means more money for all services.

Yet the United States uses enforcement tactics to falsely demonstrate that it’s handling the issue of undocumented people living in the United States.

There is no such thing as an illegal person so much as there is no competent and just immigra— Mark Moses Alvarado, S.B. tion system.

Senior Sublet Law

Y

our San Vicente Mobile Home Park eviction story unfairly depicted park management as heartlessly throwing poor seniors out of their homes [independent.com/evictionssanvicente].

Waivers to stay were not denied “simply because it’s within St. Vincent’s right” but because the California Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) does not allow subletting except for a limited time and only for medical reasons.

Subletting was permitted by the former park managers, Parker/Rice, when they did not allow it in the park they owned, Rancho Santa Barbara.

It was unfortunate that Parker/Rice bent the MRL and allowed subletting, which is contrary to the rule that senior housing be only owner occupied.

Sensational Sell-Out

W

ith honest journalism under fire, sadly, the Independent has sold out to sensationalism and savagery. The headline “Throat Slasher One Step Closer to Release” in the past week’s paper regarding a local young man’s recent hearing tramples on the suffering and gravity of mental illness and all those involved in a tragic event.

The doctors involved and the judge decided that Mr. Maphis has been healing and earned the right to continue rehabilitating, and yet the headline and article are slanted to fearmongering, judgment, and hype.

The Constitution protects both the press and the people. With freedom comes responsibility.

While Mr. Maphis has demonstrated this to the court through his struggle to overcome his burden of severe mental illness, he deserves better from his local paper.

s r u e t n o c a R Frontmen Interviewed

Jack White and Brendan Benson Talk No Set Lists, Songwriting, and Mutual Respect

A

by

Charles Donelan

t the core of the classic rock myth, there’s a kind of Platonic ideal of what a band should be, and it usually involves a partnership between two gifted songwriters.

Think Lennon and McCartney, or Jagger and Richards, or Jack White and Brendan Benson, the team behind the Raconteurs, who will play the Santa Barbara Bowl on Saturday, July 27. Unlike the Beatles and the Stones, however, White and Benson did not start out together. White’s first band, the White Stripes, propelled him to mega-stardom before he and Benson ever met, and Benson’s solo career, while full of outstanding material, never approached the White Stripes’ level of recognition.

All that changed in 2006, when the pair of woodshedding friends from Michigan found they had generated enough material together to release the first Raconteurs album, Broken Boy Soldiers. A hit single, “Steady, As She Goes,” helped launch the project, and a powerful rhythm section, Patrick Keeler and Jack Lawrence, borrowed from Cincinnati garage rockers the Greenhornes, cemented the sense that this was a real band and not a studio one-off. Touring followed, as did a second, even better album, 2008’s Consolers of the Lonely. The band played the Santa Barbara Bowl that fall, on September 25, and it was one of the most memorable nights of the season.

Then, for a decade and a year, nothing. Well, not exactly nothing, as both artists continued to pursue their solo careers, and Jack White was in town last summer supporting his album Boarding House Reach, but as far as anyone could tell, the Raconteurs were on a deep hiatus.

Or so it seemed. In fact, White and Benson were both living in Nashville, keeping in touch, and even writing together, a song or two at a time. The stunning result, Help Us Stranger, outdid either of the previous Raconteurs releases, debuting at number one on Rolling Stone magazine’s new Top 200 albums 22

chart for the week of June 21, beating out Lil Nas X’s EP 7 the old-fashioned way, by actual physical sales rather than today’s more common measure of times streamed. At a time when the market domination of hip-hop over rock and streaming over CDs and vinyl seemed permanent, Help Us Stranger disrupted both paradigms, chalking up 95 percent of its first week’s numbers through sales of the tangible product. Those numbers were helped by the way that CDs and albums were bundled with tickets for the band’s summer tour, but this did little to detract from a truly phenomenal result.

The music fulfills a lot of the promise not only of the Raconteurs as a group, but of Benson and White as individuals. For Benson, the meticulous attention he has always paid to the craft of writing power pop has bloomed into something wilder and more electrifying through the influence of White’s wayward, bluesy idiosyncrasies. And for White, whose elaborate notions of what was not appropriate for the White Stripes led the band to eschew even certain colors for years, the Raconteurs feels like a long-term hall pass to go new places and try things he might otherwise never have allowed himself. On songs such as “Sunday Driver” and “Now That You’re Gone,” the band sounds like a 21st-century answer to the Nuggets-era garage rock that enthralled both these men when they were growing up wild and hungry for the sound of electric guitars in suburban Michigan.

I spoke with Brendan Benson and Jack White last week by phone from one of their tour stop hotels in the Midwest.

What follows is a lightly edited and condensed version of that conversation.

What has changed since the band was last together?

Jack White: Our lives are pretty different now. We both have kids, and that changes things. Also, we have done a lot of recording projects since then, for ourselves and for other artists, and if you are doing it right, the projects that you work on, they change you. Every session is a learning opportunity, and there have been a lot of sessions.

You did Help Us Stranger with a small team of people and

INDEPENDENT.COM

released it entirely through your own label, Third Man. How does that approach affect the music?

JW: Yes, it was very DIY, the definition of DIY the whole project. Tracks that Brendan recorded in his studio, he brought to my studio for finishing, and the whole band was part of the mixing, which is not something we’ve done before. Even the pressing of the vinyl was done at a pressing plant that Third Man owns outside Detroit. The entire process was do-it-yourself. In an era when music is independent, you end up taking on all these things, and with them comes a lot of responsibility, but that way, the person who pushes you hardest has to be yourself.

You have to keep on yourself so that it becomes something you are proud of.

Brendan Benson: And then our record went to number one, which says a lot about the value of this approach, and about the strength of Third Man as an independent label, and about the Raconteurs as a rock band at a time when rock is not what’s dominating the charts.

JW: It’s pretty cool. You know, what we did was definitely risky — the way we put this out, it was all on us — but then the record debuts at number one, and wow.

BB: Yeah, that’s like a big “Congratulations!”

If somehow this opportunity to do the Raconteurs had come up earlier in your careers, when you were first starting out, do you think it would have worked?

Could you imagine the Raconteurs as your first band?

JW: Very much so, and that’s a great question. I think it would have worked. With all my projects, whether it’s the White Stripes, my solo stuff, or the Raconteurs, what’s been a constant is that I know which songs belong to which group. Like if I’m writing something, I can tell you if it’s a White Stripes number or if it belongs with the Raconteurs. But coming back to your question, if it was my first band, I think it would have worked out exactly the same, because it’s just the four people in a room together making music without any thought of outside influence.

BB: For me, I always

COVER STORY dreamed about this band. It was what I wanted from the beginning, to be in a great band, so if I could have done this at the start of my career instead of going solo, I would have jumped at the chance.

Do you still get people calling you a“supergroup”?

How do you feel about that?

BB: We haven’t been hearing that lately. The first year, we heard that a lot.

JW: I don’t think anyone likes hearing any kind of a label.

I can’t even think of a label that any musician would like. I know it’s a necessary evil at times. To me, the worst one is “side project.” [Laughter.] It seems like you’re saying that no one really cared about it, or you didn’t work that hard. I don’t think the connotations of “side project” are very positive.

In some of the lyrics, and especially on the title track, “Help Me Stranger,” which opens with this verse, “If you call me, I’ll come running / And you can call me anytime / And these 16 strings we’re strumming / They will back up every line,” it seems like you might be writing about your collaboration. How close do you have to be to write and play together?

JW: Your personality is definitely in the room. The words that you put down have to come through your brain. The same is true for the other person. So what you are trying to do is fire each other up, and hopefully come up with something even better. That’s the goal. Some people may try to be one up, and then it becomes like you are trying to outdo each other. That’s the competitive side of it. And I have no problem with that. We really don’t do that, I don’t think….

BB: Speak for yourself. [Laughter.]

JW: Like with Lennon and McCartney, that’s how it was, and that’s what created a lot of those hits: them trying to outdo each other.

BB: But it doesn’t always work. I’ve been writing in Nashville with the country community — you know, trying to make a dent in that thing — and sometimes it doesn’t happen when you set out to collaborate. I’m spoiled from working with Jack.

He was the first person I ever collaborated with, and in the beginning, it wasn’t even called that. It was just two guys hanging out and playing music. It’s like it was before we even knew what collaborating was. And I haven’t found another writing partner like Jack since, so I don’t know; it’s hard. I think it takes mutual respect and admiration.

And generosity. You guys give each other a lot to do.

JW: Yes, that’s right. Or you could say that we make room for each other.

Which songs give you the best opportunities to improvise when you tour? Are there certain tunes that are good for taking solos?

JW: Yes, there are certain songs like “Blue Veins” and “Broken Boy Soldiers” that work that way. I think it’s because we’ve been playing them for the longest time, but it also has to do with them not having too rigid a structure. There are some songs that when you record them, they have these harmonies that you then have to re-create live, like some of the songs on the new record.

BB: Like “Help Me Stranger” and “Somedays.”

JW: Yes, and we can do both; like on the end of “Help Me was part of a whole group of things that I did to open up and Stranger,” we can jam, but for those harmonies, we’ve got to be become more free as a live performer. I was also responding coordinated. You can do it, but you have to be watching each to what I was seeing that I didn’t like with other bands whose shows were, like we were saying before, too tied into their other and paying attention if you are going to nail it. This has to do with another thing about the way video projections and pyrotechnics so that the Raconteurs record, which is really that they became very predictable. It was fast. What that means is that what’s on not like it was in 1977, when you would the records can almost be seen as a draft. see The Who in one place and it would The songs change as we tour with them. It be a certain way, and then maybe I saw would be interesting sometime to tour first them three weeks later in Pittsburgh, and with the new material and then go into the it was an entirely different show with, studio with it. “Blue Veins,” for example, like, a 22-minute drum solo. I love that would probably sound a lot different on kind of concertgoing experience, and I the record if we had done it that think that’s one of the things that makes way. You know, a lot of bands a tour interesting, to have that approach. don’t do it anymore.

Like recently, I noticed that we did a show that was great but that left out a lot of the bigger songs, like “Steady, It’s part of the excitement of going to a live show — As She Goes.” And so I emailed everybody a list of the songs that we had left out of the last show, and I said, “Look, we could not knowing what to expect. That brings up another question I wanted to ask, which is about set lists. Jack, do an entire set tonight of just the stuff we left out.”

I know you don’t like them. Brendan, are you okay So we’re having fun. with that?

BB: Yeah, we’re having fun.

BB: It’s funny you should ask, because yes, that does actually cause me some anxiety. You see, I could never do that in The Raconteurs will play the my solo career, because I’m always hiring bands and it just Santa Barbara Bowl with the wouldn’t work. So I’m not used to it. It’s cool, though. I also Melvins on Saturday, July 27, at have trouble sometimes remembering songs, so that makes 7 p.m.

For tickets and info, it even more intense when something gets called out and you think, “What?” visit sbbowl.com or call 962-7411.

Jack, maybe you want to weigh in on this since it’s your strategy. When did you stop making set lists, and why?

JW: It was back when I was with White Stripes, and at first, I just wanted to see if I could do it — play a good set without making a list first. Then it became part of a larger thing where I was trying to improve by moving around more and sort of thinking less when I was onstage. It

GIVING VOICE to the VOICELESS

PAUL WELLMAN

A

Santa Barbara–Toronto tech company called Cognixion has developed a remarkable new app that unlocks the voices of people silenced by brain injury or disease. Speakprose Pro+ utilizes the latest iPhone and iPad eye-tracking technology to allow users with limited mobility to navigate the screen with their eyes and select letters or words by blinking or holding their gaze. It also leverages facial recognition software to pick up on smiles and other muscle movements.

Launched just weeks ago, the app already has tens of thousands of users and is growing more popular with each passing day. Traditional eye-tracking technology and the hardware that goes with it can run more than $10,000, and more than $56 billion is spent in the United States every year on assistive technologies, mostly through medical insurance reimbursements. Speakprose Pro+ costs $39.00 a month. And while there are other ACC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) apps on the market, Speakprose Pro+, according to lots of online feedback and reviews, is the best and most affordable.

The idea came to Cognixion founder and Santa Barbara resident Andreas Forsland in 2012. His mother was clinging to life in an intensive care unit and was unable to move or talk. “I was inspired to create a simple, natural way for loved ones to communicate and send moral support,” he said, “no matter the situation.” A free version of the app also allows users without mobility issues to simply tap

words and phrases with their fingers that are then spoken through the device. “We always had a plan to make speech accessible from multiple different ways,” Forsland said.

Millions of people across the planet struggle with some kind of communication disability, Forsland explained. Many rely on others for even simple tasks.

This app lets them live more independently and not only maintain social connections but also hold down certain jobs. “We just want the world to know it’s available now,” he said. It’s also got artificial intelligence built in so that with each use, it gets better at predicting what the user intends to say.

Now, Cognixion is in the R&D phase of a new direct brain-software technology that will one day let users control a computer with just their brainwaves.

A headband with electrodes attached to the scalp will pick up electrical activity and translate it into mouse clicks. “It’s on the horizon,” said Forsland. “We’re making good progress. We’re on a mission to unlock as many voices as we can.”

Camp Whittier Rebuilding After Fire C

BOYS & GIRLS CLUB

amp Whittier, an overnight camp nestled in the mountains of the Los Padres National Forest, is beginning to rebuild after suffering severe damage in the 2017 Whittier Fire. When the fire broke out near the property, nearly 60 campers, ages 6-17, and 25 adults were trapped for hours. Fortunately, rescue came, and the group escaped, though it was by the skin of their teeth.

The camp itself, however, was not so lucky. Four cabins, two staff homes, and three maintenance sheds were all completely destroyed. The ropes course was DOWN BUT NOT OUT: Kids will soon return to the beloved camp in the forest. also damaged, as were most of the camp’s hiking trails and solar panels.

BLAST OFF: The streamliner built by Hunter Self (left) and Arley Langlo can put out more than 4,500 horsepower. The average family sedan generates around 175 hp.

Racers Chase

423 MPH Record T

ucked, just barely, into a garage off Winchester Canyon Road is a 37-foot missile of an automobile that will soon compete in one of the world’s premier land speed-racing events. The streamliner, as it’s called, is built to break speeds of 400+ miles per hour and will be piloted by Arley Langlo, a retired plumber and longtime drag racer who’s been piecing together the #77 car for the better part of a decade.

He’s been dreaming about it since the ’80s. Every inch of it (except for the body panels) was fabricated in-house. Langlo even dug 12 feet into the hillside behind his home to extend his workspace. Just don’t ask him about the project’s price tag. “Oh, I never kept track of that stuff,” he said, raising his hands. “We’re drag racing.”

Langlo and his Santa Barbara area team — Brian Hawkins, Dale Erwin, Jim Wilson, and lead mechanic Hunter Self, owner and operator of the J&S East Valley Garage in Montecito — will tow #77 by trailer in mid-August to Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats for Speed Week 2019.

They’ll go head to head for the record in their class against a streamliner driven by George Poteet, a much-respected Memphis-based millionaire with multiple cars and engines at his disposal. The J&S team have just the one shot. But they’re as ready as they’ll ever be. “Every bolt of this thing has been gone over two or three times,” said Self.

“Maybe five or six times.”

While some racers rely on a device called “traction control” to keep their cars glued to the ground, Langlo and Self subscribe to a purer form of racing. “This is our traction control,” said Langlo, flexing his foot. And with no computers or digital gizmos, their streamliner’s narrow red-and-black cockpit is a Spartan war space compared to their competitors’. “Only the bare necessities,” said Self. Before they roar down Bonneville’s five-mile track, the team will showcase their streamliner at the free Groovin’ in the Grove car show put on by the Santa Barbara Elks Lodge this Saturday, July 27. It’ll take place 9 a.m.4 p.m. at 150 North Kellogg Avenue. Go to groovininthegrove.org for more details.

Langlo and Self, normally not the type to talk about pre-race nerves, admitted to feeling a few butterflies over Bonneville. The streamliner has been such a long time coming, and expectations among Santa Barbara racers are now so high, that the pressure is most definitely on. But these steely-eyed missile men are ready for whatever the salt throws at them. “The record is 423 [miles per hour],” said Langlo matter-offactly. “So we just gotta go faster than that.”

CAJÉ by Day, LAB SOCIAL by Night

East Haley Street Coffee Shop Turns to Cocktail Bar Each Evening

W

BY REBECCA HORRIGAN hen I went to UCSB, Cajé was my sacred coffee

DAY AND NIGHTLIFE: Cajé & Lab Social owners Sean Sepulveda (center) and Ryan Patronyk (right) and general manager Troy Yamasaki serve morning drinks like the Bela Rose (below left) and evening cocktails like the Cajé Thai Iced Tea (below right).

and Oat Bakery bread. Their avocado toast features crushed avocado, roasted garlic, lemon, radish, and almonds layered atop Oat Bakery bread. Their friends at Corazon Cocina have contributed a sal de mar ceviche to the thoughtful menu as well.

“What all of our companies share is that we care a lot about what we put out,” Yamasaki said.

The space was originally built in the 1920s and features exposed ceiling beams, tile patterns, rustic wood tabletops, and plenty of greenery, from the vines hanging over the top of the bar to the intricate succulent arrangements on each table. The space combines the excitement of a hip city haunt with the breezy peacefulness we’ve come to expect in Santa Barbara.

Said Patronyk, “We try to make an environment where people have memories generated that stick with them.”

LAB SOCIAL TURNS ON

When it hits 5:30 p.m. at Cajé, the blinds go down, the music goes up, baristas become bartenders, and guests are treated to drinks a tad stronger than espresso.

Every night of the week, this new coffee shop on Haley transforms into a Prohibition-era themed speakeasy called Lab Social. Sean Sepulveda, the award-winning mixologist who spearheaded the drink programs at Santo Mezcal and Cadiz, is managing the speakeasy side for Cajé owner Ryan Patronyk, who is also a childhood friend.

“I just like to give people what they like,” Sepulveda explained when asked about favorites on the drink menu. With a combination of clever cocktails, beers on tap, and excellent wine, there is truly something everyone will like, if not love, on their

menu. Traditional drinks are elevated with whimsical twists, as evidenced in The S.B. Margy, which includes cimarron blanco, lime juice, agave nectar, and a lavender-salt cloud of “air,” which sits atop this dreamy drink.

Another of their most popular offerings is the Churchill Sour. If the combination of Old Crow bourbon lemon juice, Earl Grey gomme, black-walnut bitters, lemon, mint, and orange-essence mist doesn’t already have you feeling special, the “rose” garnish, handcrafted from a lemon peel, is sure to bring a smile.

Drawing inspiration from a rabbit that he and his wife acquired, Sepulveda created one of my favorite drinks, Lucky’s Revenge. This cocktail refreshes the palate with Ford’s gin, carrot juice, lemon juice, house chamomile syrup, celery, bitters, and cinnamon. Said Sepulveda, “It’s very much like a rabbit running through a garden.”

The small-plates menu, created by the foodie folks at Sama Sama, matches the innovative spirit of the cocktails. Highlights include the cheeseboard served with thick slices of Oat Bakery bread, honeycomb, and calabrian chiles, as well as the chorizo madeleines, a perfect sweet-and-salty bar snack, elevated with crème fraîche and chives.

As the name Lab Social implies, Sepulveda hopes to bring in bartenders from other spots around town once a month to create a drink that they’ll put on their menu. “The idea is to crosspromote within the cocktail community,” Sepulveda explained.

With live music Monday-Wednesday and happy hour every night of the week until 7:30 p.m., it will be hard to keep this speakeasy on the down low.

FOOD & DRINK

shop. A far cry from Starbucks, the Isla Vista shop, which opened in 2004, felt intentional, complete with latte art, freshly roasted coffee beans, and personalized service. Now, 15 years later, they’ve grown up with a new location on East Haley Street, and I’m happy to hear that their commitment to quality is only expanding.

“It’s fun to take something we’ve done for so long to a new level,” said owner Ryan Patronyk. For this new iteration, he’s partnered with longtime Cajé Isla Vista barista Troy Yamasaki and award-winning bartender Sean Sepulveda to bring their coffeeshop-by-day, speakeasy-by-night concept to the blossoming Haley Corridor.

Patryonk noticed a lack of coffee between Milpas and Haley as well as the dearth of speakeasies throughout Santa Barbara. They got lucky in winning the liquor license lottery, so were able to turn their dream into a reality.

“To be in coffee for so long, you have to take the trade further if you can,” Patronyk said. The team’s selection of innovative drinks speaks to their progressive mind-set.

Highlights include the Bela Rose, a dreamy iced matcha latte with strawberry elderflower syrup, pomegranate ice cubes, strawberry and beet powder, and a delicate garnish of rose petals.

Another standout is the Burnout, a breve short latte with bourbon pecan syrup, activated charcoal, ginger salt, candied ginger, and blackberry. Under the gentle hand and watchful eye of Patryonyk and Yamasaki, these drinks achieve a perfect balance of flavors and leave you plotting your next visit.

With house-made syrups and milks from almond to coconut and macadamia and beans roasted at their I.V. location, every sip sings of their meticulous attention to detail.

This thoughtfulness also applies to their eco-friendly “exchange program.” In order to prevent single-cup waste, customers who’d like to enjoy their drink to-go yet don’t have a cup can pay a deposit for a reusable one, which is repaid when the cup is returned.

“It’s cool to create a business where you’re setting an example for other businesses,” Patronyk said.

In the spirit of this tight-knit town, the team enlisted well-loved restaurant Sama Sama Kitchen to create their menu, which includes a tortilla española made with egg, potato, roasted onion, romesco sauce, lemon garlic aioli,

Cajé and Lab Social are located at 416 East Haley Street.

THE INSPIRATION: “I’ll either come up with a clever name I want to base a drink off of or come up with a garnish I want to use,” explained Ricord of her creative process. “Or I’ll think, ‘Hmm, I love that snack. I wonder if I can make it into a drink.’ ” Right now, she’s brainstorming how she can make a cocktail with a potato-chip garnish since Outpost makes the snack in-house.

Growing up with an artist mother who encouraged her ingenuity, Ricord finds it crucial that the drinks she serves are

BY TAYLOR SALMONS “visually stunning.”

She points to the “5 O’clock Shadow” as an example, which is decorated artfully with a lime peel in a zigzag shape.

She truly respects the craft of the distillers. “The liquor is their art, so to speak,” explained Ricord, who prefers to celebrate spirits rather than hide them behind juices and syrups. “We’re all here to drink anyway. We might as well enjoy the liquor we’re drinking!”

The Goodland Hotel’s new lead bartender, in charge of drinks at both The Outpost and The Good Bar, is Gabrielle Ricord. Her hospitality career started humbly as a hostess at Eureka Burger, where she was dazzled by the fast-paced, creative experience of bartending while filling in for an absent barback. She became a bartender and learned a great deal about spirits, beers, and basic cocktails, but then graduated from college and was pressured to get a “real job.” She became an administrative assistant in Summerland, remembering, “It was just terrible, horrible.”

So she applied for a bartending gig at Finch & Fork in the Canary Hotel and thrived under the mentorship of mixologist George Piperis. After only a year under his guidance, Ricord was asked by Piperis to enter a Southern California–wide competition that he was unable to attend. She was scared, but she went for it, walking away with second place — and a whole lot of confidence.

When the Canary’s sister property in Goleta, The Goodland Hotel, found itself without a lead bartender, Ricord got a call from former lead Mary Valdez.

“She was like, ‘You’re the first person I thought of,’” said Ricord. “Here I am now, happy as can be.”

The Outpost’s “Cross Your T’s” is a play on an Old Fashioned with chamomileinfused Old Forester Bourbon, Amaretto, and angostura and plum bitters. Though the drink is inspired by wintertime Hot Toddies, Ricord adds the taste of spring using floral and fruit flavors. “I thought chamomile would be perfect because it’s so bright and sweet,” she said. “And the dash of plum bitters works because they’re super in season this time of year in Santa Barbara.”

5650 Calle Real, Goleta; 964-6241; Over at Good Bar, Ricord recthegoodland.com ommends the “What’s the Dill?,” which contains Yellow Chartreuse, Suze, dill-infused Dolin Blanc, and The Botanist gin. It’s Ricord’s take on a White Negroni, “but it’s more bitter, more forward,” she clarified. The cocktail’s dillinfused vermouth offers unique bitter undertones that differ from the expected pickle taste. “It’s not vinegary at all,” she promised. “People are afraid, but once they try it, they experience something completely different from what they thought,

The Goodland Hotel cont’d and I actually kinda like that.” The finishing touch is a sweet strawberry garnish that balances out the directness of the dill.

NEXT UP: There’s always something to look forward to at The

Goodland, since the menu changes every three months. Ricord is excited to roll out alcoholic popsicles, hard kombucha, seltzers, and a wider selection of beer for the summertime, and she’s still brainstorming even more options. “That’s the cool thing about the craft cocktail world,” Ricord explained. “It’s an exponential expansion. I’m learning new things every single day.”

Good Bar will also be adding another event to its roster along with Vino & Vinyasa Mondays (wine and yoga), Yappy Hour Tuesdays (bring your dog), Trivia Wednesdays, live music on Thursdays, lawn game tournaments on Fridays and Saturdays, and DJ Darla Bea on Sundays. “We really wanna encourage people from the community to come in,” she said. “These events aren’t just for hotel people; they’re for everybody. It’s fun to be able to build relationships with people that live just down the street.”

SANTA BARBARA READS BOOK ANNOUNCED For nearly two decades each fall, our city’s public library offers up a tome for folks to read and then explore via myr-iad events as part of its month-long Santa Barbara Reads program. This year’s selection is the best-selling Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Benjamin Alire Sáenz’s coming-of-age story about friendship, identity, sexuality, and family. “Santa Barbara Reads is about bringing the community together to celebrate reading,” said Jessica Cadiente, Santa Barbara Public Library Director. “Choosing Ari and Dante gives us the opportunity to engage the community in conversations about issues that are important to them,” added Lauren Trujillo, the S.B. Public Library Foundation Board’s Director. The fun kicks off October 15. To stay abreast of events, programs and classes, see santabarbaraca.gov.

THE HEART CROSSWAYS Young Patrick Brogan’s transgressions, major and minor, are written down by his mother in a large blue ledger, and then dealt with by his father when the Old Man, as Patrick refers to him, returns from his job on an oil rig in the North Sea. The Old Man is short-tempered, aggrieved by the loss of the family business, and usually smells of whiskey and Old Spice.

Patrick is terrified of his father’s rages, the anger that rolls across his face like a tidal wave, but is at the same time desperate for his father’s love.

This tension between father and son occupies the center of James Claffey’s debut novel, The Heart Crossways. Claffey, who teaches English at Santa Barbara High School, spent nearly five years writing the novel, the bulk of the work accomplished during his summer vacations. Born and raised in Ireland, Claffey skillfully places the reader inside the Brogan household in working-class Dublin, where Mam fries potatoes and sausage, makes biscuits, and pours tea, always with a cigarette dangling from the corner of her mouth, and the Old Man watches television and nurses a glass of whiskey. But sooner rather than later, something sets the Old Man off, arguments ensue, doors slam, and Patrick retreats to his room and the refuge of his books. The local Catholic school doesn’t afford Patrick any relief from domestic turmoil — he’s not popular, top of his class, or athletic — and more than once the priests target him for verbal abuse or a slap.

Fear of his father and the church and the prying eyes and wagging tongues of the neighbors hold Patrick in check for the most part, but he’s not above making mischief with his friends, stealing magazines from the local store or torching an abandoned car.

Patrick’s constricted world is laced with dark humor, and Claffey mixes it with the terror and the small joys, the confusion of faith and family, and the ache carved in a boy’s heart when his father doesn’t return his love.

NEW ZEALAND BAND

he Beths, from New Zealand, will play a not-to-be-missed show for indie rock fans on Thursday at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club. Since the release of last year’s Future Me Hates Me, the catchy creators have rapidly risen as one of the world’s more exciting new rock bands. They’ll be joined

by L.A. rockers Girl Friday and surf

by Richie DeMaria rockers Ariel View of Ontario, CA. I emailed vocalist/guitarist Liz Stokes about their tour, life since their debut, and harmonies.

TO ROCK SOHO

How was the first leg of your North American tour, and what are you looking forward to about your second North American leg? The first leg has been great, our expectations have been exceeded for kindness and hospitality, and Girl Friday are just such a good band and are a fantastic influence on the tour environment.

Lots of these shows have been first times to a place … the list is long. That’s lovely, but I am looking forward to revisiting places we’ve been a few times in the last year. Returning to L.A., where some of our best friends in the world live. And many more places for the first time too. And playing more shows with Girl Friday!

What are your thoughts on playing Santa Barbara? Have you ever been? Never, but looking forward! It sounds like it might be one of the more … Europeanstyle … cities in the U.S.A.? It will be interesting to see, and the coast —Auckland is a coastal city, so we’ll feel that after being in the Midwest for so long.

In what ways has life changed for the better since the release of your debut album?

Touring is a crazy, unique experience and having done it for 18 months, I’m so glad I’ve had this opportunity. You meet so many people from such diverse backgrounds. You live music like you never would at home. The group you’re with becomes very close; you take care of each other — like a family. And for the common thread through it all to be our music, it’s very special. It’s a dream come true in so many ways, but it’s been hugely challenging too — the hardest, and most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.

You all are great harmonizers. Who are some of your harmonic inspirations? How and when do the harmonies come along in the creative process? Most of the harmonies usually come to me when I’m writing and become baked into the song. We work on it in practices and it sometimes develops from that starting point, with all of us adding or streamlining parts. We are constantly tweaking them, and hard as we try, we’re never totally satisfied after a gig. Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins and Bright Eyes are big for me, but also pop-rock harmonies, the singalongs and overlapping parts of Fall Out Boy, as well as the whole call-and-response thing of ’60s groups. Although I think this has mostly filtered down to me through later groups. If there’s more than one voice in a major key, you’re never too far from the Beach Boys.

Touring can be a bit monotonous. How do you keep it fun? Playing shows is pretty fun. It’s the most fun thing we do. But silly games between us, van language, in-jokes, all of that goes on. Ben writes a blog which we are all involved with, I think that might be the shining achievement of the last few tours, it’s called breakfastandtravelupdates.com and it’s a pretty great record of our lives and breakfasts on tour.

The Beths and openers Girl Friday and Ariel View play Thursday, 4•1•1 July 25, 9 p.m., at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.).

A Case of the Birthdays Age-related memory loss vs. Dementia

By Kathryn Cherkas, MIPH Program Manager, Friendship Center Montecito Everyone experiences memory loss throughout their lives, from forgetting the name of a new acquaintance to misplacing an item.

As we age, however, forgetfulness has the potential to become more worrying. Our aging bodies experience changes in a number of ways, and cognitive functioning is no exception. That being said, not all “senior moments” necessarily indicate dementia. Sometimes the reason for forgetfulness, aches and pains, sleepiness, or mood changes is simply “a case of the birthdays.” * This is the term I use for natural age-related mental and physical changes. Many people caring for their aging loved ones are hypersensitive to these changes. It is, of course, a good idea to pay attention to such things when tracking potential health conditions. But it is also important to remember what comes with each candle added to the birthday cake — more acquaintances, friends, and family members… more sights, smells, words, and feelings.

You can think of your brain as a purse or knapsack that is continually being filled with more “stuff” as we age, in the form of memories.

As we all know, the fuller the bag, the harder it is to find what we are looking for at a given moment. While this can make for a sometimes worrying scenario of forgetfulness, we should celebrate how lucky our loved one is to have a brain and body full of so many life experiences!

So the next time you find yourself worried about changes in your aging loved one, or they become concerned about themselves, get together and reflect. How many tackles did he take while high school quarterback? How many birthday parties did she throw for all her children and grandkids over the years? How many pounds did he carry on his back marching during military service? How many countries did she visit throughout her adventuresome life?

Being worn by life and carrying on is an honor to celebrate and cherish. We all should be so fortunate as to have “a case of the birthdays.”

*Consult with your healthcare team on any changes, physical or mental, observed in your aging loved one.

Mission Friendship Center offers engaging activities that promote socialization, well-being, and a sense of community for aging adults. We provide respite, support, and education for their caregivers, enabling them to achieve balance in their lives.

What Generation Gap? Friendship Center’s GOLD (Growing Old) Project takes small groups of our seniors into elementary school classrooms for shared dialogue about their lives. In our work with elders, we’ve seen that age-ism can cause them feelings of isolation and reduced self-worth. Intergenerational activities, like the GOLD Project, hold the possibility of not only dispelling myths and stereotypes about aging among the young, but also increasing self-esteem and raising satisfaction for elders.

THIS Y SATURDA

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

NOW SHOWING 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 selfeducation with seductive visuals and an engaging dramatic moxie. On the sonic front, Jeff Beal’s Disney-fied orchestral music seems all wrong for such a literally organic tale, which cries out for something acoustic and rootsy. That quibble aside, The Biggest Little Farm charms and inspires with an epic DIY story from deep inside the 805. (JW)

Yesterday

Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood Pepper), who is trapped in a crawlspace basement. They battle rising waters and alligators as they try to escape the raging storm.

Fiesta 5 The Lion King (118 mins., PG) Jungle Book director Jon Favreau helms this photorealistic computer-animated remake of Disney’s 1994 animated original, which tells the story of lion cub Simba as he fights to remain heir of the Pride Lands. Includes the voice talents of Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and James Earl Jones.

Pavarotti (114 mins., PG-13) Director Ron Howard turns documentarian in this film about legendary operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti.

Fiesta 5

ORocketman

(121 mins., R)

Dexter Fletcher’s Elton John biopic is an engaging representation of the legendary artist’s rise to fame and struggle with drug abuse. The film has some issues with a scattered narrative and shaky dialogue, but remains striking nonetheless. Through a powerful performance from lead Taron Egerton and a flamboyant visual aesthetic, the film captures unique nuances of Elton’s career such as his outrageous costumes and wild sense of humor. However, some tropes of the

music biopic stick out with elements like an overly dramatic first artistic breakthrough scene and a stereotypical record agent. Despite this, Rocketman is a must see for any music fan as the musical and aesthetic nostalgia of the film is very much worthwhile. (MPG) Metro 4 Spider-Man: Far from Home (129 mins., PG-13)

Still mourning the death of his mentor Tony Stark/Iron Man, Peter Parker/ Spider-Man (Tom Holland) resumes life as a high school student and goes on a trip to Europe with his classmates. While there, former SHIELD director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) teams him up with Quentin Beck/Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) for a special mission to fight the evil Elementals.

Camino Real/Metro 4 Stuber (93 mins., R) Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley, The Big Sick) and Dave Bautista (Blade Runner 2049, Guardians of the Galaxy) team up for this action comedy about an Uber driver, Stu (Nanjiani), who finds himself thrust into a series of dangerous situations after picking up Vic (Batista), a detective who is chasing a violent terrorist.

Fairview Toy Story 4 (100 mins., G) Sheriff Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie (Joan Cusack), Rex (Wallace Shawn), and the rest of the toy gang get a new addition to their group when Bonnie makes new toy Forky (Tony Hale). But Forky suffers from an existential crisis, and Woody must help him understand what it really means to be a toy.

Fairview/Fiesta 5 Yesterday (112 mins., PG-13) Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 127 Hours) directs this musical/fantasy/comedy about struggling singer/songwriter Jack Malik (Himesh Patel), who, after a freak bus accident and a global blackout, finds that no one remembers the Beatles’ music. Malik then passes off the Fab Four’s songs as his own and becomes a star.

the rounds on Twitter shows Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo standing alongside (and above) UCSB men’s basketball coach Joe Pasternack after a workout at the Thunderdome. Antetokounmpo, the 2019 NBA Most Valuable Player, was in Santa Barbara to do some specialized training at the P3 facility.

A native of Athens known as the “Greek Freak,” the 611 Antetokounmpo bypassed college to play for the Bucks in 2013, rendering moot the fantasies of Gaucho fans: “Does he have any eligibility left?”

Pasternack has secured Matt Freeman, a 610 graduate transfer from Oklahoma, to play his final year of collegiate eligibility for the Gauchos in 2019-20. As a fourth-year junior, Freeman made 36.2 percent of this three-point shot attempts for the Sooners.

Freeman will be the fourth graduate transfer to play for UCSB since Pasternack became head coach in 2017. The others were Leland King III (Nevada) and Marcus Jackson (Rice) in 2017-18, and Ar’mond Davis (Alabama), the Gauchos’ leading scorer last season.

or the Blondes, it was a win-win situation. They raised money for a great cause, and they had fun playing flag football, even if one of them broke her arm.

For the Brunettes, it was win-win-win.

They raised money, had fun, and raised the trophy. For the third consecutive year, they outscored the Blondes, 24-7.

It was the sixth annual Blondes vs.

Brunettes game, a series that has generated close to half a million dollars for the California Central Coast Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.

It was played on a glorious Saturday afternoon at the Garden Street Academy, a change of venue because the Bishop Diego High field was being reseeded.

That made it win-win-win-win for Brunettes co-captain Leanne Ledbetter, a fouryear player for the team and a longtime teacher at Garden Street (formerly San Roque School).

Ledbetter had taken upon herself to line the academy’s soccer pitch, turning it into an 80-yard football field. Then she went out and spearheaded the Brunettes’ offense, alternating at quarterback and center with Feli Rueff.

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): After analyzing unusual animal behav-

(June 21-July 22): Your emotional intelligence is so

ior, magnetic fluctuations, outbreaks of mayhem on Twitter, and the position of the moon, a psychic has foretold that a moderate earthquake will rumble through the St. Louis, Missouri, area in the coming weeks. I don’t agree with her prophecy. But I have a prediction of my own. Using data about how cosmic forces are conspiring to amuse and titillate your rapture chakra, I predict a major lovequake for many Aries between now and August 20. I suggest you start preparing immediately. How? Brainstorm about adventures and breakthroughs that will boost exciting togetherness. Get yourself in the frame of mind to seek out collaborative catharses that evoke both sensory delights and spiritual insights.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): “Tell me what you pay attention to and

I will tell you who you are,” wrote Taurus philosopher José Ortega y Gasset. You could use that idea to achieve a finer grade of peace and grace in the coming weeks.

The navel-gazing phase of your yearly cycle has begun, which means you’ll be in closest alignment with cosmic rhythms if you get to know yourself much better. One of the best ways to do that is to analyze what you pay most attention to. Another excellent way is to expand and refine and tenderize your feelings for what you pay most attention to.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano

wrote that in Havana, people refer to their friends as mi sangre, my blood, or mi tierra, my country. In Caracas, he reported, a friend might be called mi llave, my key, or mi pana, my bread. Since you are in the allianceboosting phase of your cycle, Gemini, I trust that you will find good reasons to think of your comrades as your blood, your country, your key, or your bread. It’s a favorable time for you to get closer, more personal, and more intimate. The affectionate depths are calling to you.

WEEK OF JULY 25

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I predict that between now and the strong right now that I bet you could alleviate the pain end of the year, a Libran genetic engineer will create a of a loved one even as you soothe a long-running ache new species of animal called a dat. A cross between a of your own. You’re so spiritually alluring, I suspect cat and a dog, it will have the grace, independence, and you could arouse the sacred yearning of a guru, saint, vigilance of a Persian cat and the geniality, loyalty, and or bodhisattva. You’re so interesting, someone might ebullient strength of a golden retriever. Its stalking skills write a poem or story about you. You’re so overflowing will synthesize the cat’s and dog’s different styles of with a lust for life that you might lift people out of their hunting.

You’re so smart you will achieve greater harmony between the cat and dog could come up with at least a partial aspects of your own nature, thereby acquiring some of the hybrid talents solution to a riddle whose solution HOMEWORK: What’s the most of the dat. has evaded you for a long time. amazing feat you ever pulled off?

What will you do for your next amazing feat? Truthrooster@gmail.com.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio poet Mar-

North America and Europe called me on the phone. At least that’s how she identified herself. “I have a message for your Leo readers,” she told me. “Why Leo?” I asked. “Because I’m a Leo myself,” she replied, “and I know what my tribe needs to know right now.” I said, “OK. Give it to me.” “Tell Leos to always keep in mind the difference between healthy pride and debilitating hubris,” she said. “Tell them to be dazzlingly and daringly competent without becoming bossy and egomaniacal. They should disappear their arrogance but nourish their mandate to express leadership and serve as a role model. Be shiny and bright but not glaring and blinding. Be irresistible but not envy-inducing.”

ianne Moore (1887-1972) won the Pulitzer Prize and several other prestigious awards.

She was a rare poet who became a celebrity. That’s one of the reasons why the Ford car company asked her to dream up interesting names for a new model they were manufacturing. Alas, Ford decided the 43 possibilities she presented were too poetic, and rejected all of them.

But some of Moore’s names are apt descriptors for the roles you could and should play in the phase you’re beginning, so I’m offering them for your use. Here they are: (1) Anticipator. (2) The Impeccable. (3) Tonnere Alifère (French term for “winged thunder”). (4) Tir á l’arc (French term for “bull’s eye”). (5) Regina-Rex (Latin terms for “queen” and “king”).

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Congrats, Virgo! You are beginning

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s conceivable that in one of your

past lives you were a pioneer who made the rough 2,170-mile migration via wagon train from Missouri to Oregon in the 1830s. Or maybe you were a sailor who accompanied the Viking Leif Eriksson in his travels to the New World five hundred years before Columbus.

Is it possible you were part of the team assembled by Italian diplomat Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, who journeyed from Rome to Mongolia in the thirteenth century? Here’s why I’m entertaining these thoughts, Sagittarius: I suspect that a similar itch to ramble and

the denouement of your yearly cycle. Anything you do to resolve lingering conflicts and finish up old business will yield fertile rewards. Fate will conspire benevolently in your behalf as you bid final goodbyes to the influences you’ll be smart not to drag along with you into the new cycle that will begin in a few weeks. To inspire your holy work, I give you this poem by Virgo poet Charles Wright: “Knot by knot I untie myself from the past / And let it rise away from me like a balloon. / What a small thing it becomes. / What a bright tweak at the vanishing point, blue on blue.”

explore and seek adventure may rise up in you during the coming weeks. I won’t be surprised if you consider making a foray to the edge of your known world.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When the dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago, the crocodiles didn’t. They were around for 135 million years before that era, and are still here now. Why? “They are extremely tough and robust,” says croc expert James Perran Ross. Their immune systems “are just incredible.” Maybe best of all, they “learn quickly and adapt to changes in their situation.”

In accordance with the astrological omens, I’m naming the crocodile as your creature teacher for the coming weeks. I suspect you will be able to call on a comparable version of their will to thrive. (Read more about crocs: tinyurl.com/ToughAndRobust.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “My only hope is that one day I can love myself as much as I love you.” Poet Mariah Gordon-Dyke wrote that to a lover, and now I’m offering it to you as you begin your Season of Self-Love. You’ve passed through other Seasons of Self-Love in the past, but none of them has ever had such rich potential to deepen and ripen your self-love. I bet you’ll discover new secrets about how to love yourself with the same intensity you have loved your most treasured allies.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “Poems can bring comfort,” writes

Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield. “They let us know … that we are not alone — but they also unseat us and make us more susceptible, larger, elastic. They foment revolutions of awareness and allow the complex, uncertain, actual world to enter.” According to my understanding of upcoming astrological omens, Pisces, life itself will soon be like the poems Hirshfield describes: unruly yet comforting; a source of solace but also a catalyst for transformation; bringing you healing and support but also asking you to rise up and reinvent yourself.

Sounds like fun!

The building on Lot 9 was originally approved (16-164-PCR-OSP) to encompasses 44,924-square feet in area and the Revised Project Clearance increases the building area to 49,821-square feet by enlarging the mezzanine area. The size of the building footprint is not changing.

The property’s zoning is SP-CBP (CBP Specific Plan), with a subzoning of Business Park. The General Plan Land Use designation is I-BP (Business Park). Lot 9 (3.12 acres) will consist of a 49,821-square foot, twostory building. The light industrial/office building will have a lot coverage of 26.48%. The building will be 34 feet tall, with a mechanical equipment screening area extending an additional 1 foot, for a total building height of 35 feet. The building will have a floor area totaling 49,821-square feet, as follows: 6,456 square feet manufacturing; 22,726 square feet research and development, 6,782 square feet warehouse, and 13,857 square feet office. 149 parking spaces (35 compact spaces, 5 ADA spaces and 109 standard parking spaces) will be provided for the project. A trash enclosure will be located along the southern property line screened by landscaping. Customer pick-up and shipping/receiving access will be located in the loading area along the southwestern portion of the site, while employee/visitor access will be located along the north elevation.

Access to adjacent Lots 5, 6, and 7 will be available along the drive aisles adjacent to the northern elevation of the building, as well as the southern property line. Landscape islands will occur within the north, south and east parking lots, with a landscaped employee/lunch area adjacent to the west elevation of the building.

A decomposed granite pedestrian path will be located adjacent to the north elevation of the building and provide pedestrian access through to Lots 5, 6, and 7, Navigator Way, and Coromar Drive. Drainage will be handled by a system of bioswales and storm drains and will be directed to an off-site detention basin (approx.

0.42 acres) located in the southern portion of Lot 19.

The project statistics are as follows: 26.48% building coverage; 26.93% landscape coverage; 149 parking spaces for employees/visitors are provided; grading volumes, 8,200 cubic yards of cut and 1,850 cubic yards of fill (to be provided from CBP stockpiles).

As part of this Revised Project Clearance grading and site improvements are authorized for Lot 9, as well as for Lots 7, 6, and 5. Vertical building construction, landscaping, and hardscaping for Lots 7, 6, and 5 will occur under separate Revised Project Clearances.

Overall Sign Plan (OSP) Per the CBP OSP, 2 wall signs are allowed on the building. The applicant is requesting 1 wall sign measuring 64 square feet on the northwestern corner of the building and 1 wall sign measuring 64 square feet on the northeastern corner of the building. Other signs, such as a freestanding monument sign, directional signs, and other associated signage meet the criteria listed under the current CBP OSP .

The project was filed by Troy White of TW Land Planning and Development, agent, on behalf of Steve Leonard of RAF Pacifica Group, LLC, property owner.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FINDINGS: The project falls within the scope of the CBP Specific Plan approved earlier as part of the CBP Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The CBP Final EIR adequately describes the project for the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). No new effects would occur and no new mitigations would be required as the project falls within the scope of the project covered by the CBP Final EIR. The project is also found to be consistent with the Environmental Thresholds Checklist in the CBP Specific Plan; therefore, no further environmental review under CEQA is required. (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15168).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: The project plans and submittal may be reviewed at the City of Goleta, Planning and Environmental Review Department, located at 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117.

City Hall is open from Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Friday from 8:00 a.m. to noon.

APPEALS PROCEDURE: The action of the Director may be appealed to the City of Goleta Planning Commission within ten (10) calendar days following final action. If you challenge the City’s final action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised in written or oral testimony and/or evidence provided to Planning and Environmental Review prior to final decision-maker action (Government Code § 65009(b)(2)).
