THANK YOU, SENATOR JACKSON, FOR PUTTING PEOPLE BEFORE DRUG COMPANY PROFITS. AARP thanks the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee for standing up for Californians and passing AB 824. This legislation would prohibit brand-name drug companies from paying generic manufacturers to delay the release of lower priced drugs.

AARP strongly supports this important first step towards ending the anticompetitive practices of big drug companies and lowering prescription drug prices for everyone.

Too many people are struggling to make ends meet while the big drug companies continue to rake in billions. AARP encourages the entire Senate to pass AB 824, and put a stop to drug company price gouging.

His review of Pico Iyer’s new travel book, Autumn Light: Season of Fire and Farewells, was quoted in the organization’s national newsletter alongside snippets of other reviews in the Boston Globe and the Tampa Bay Times. Tanguay called Iyer’s work an “elegiac meditation on time, family, loss, and being fully present in the moment.” Way to go, Brian!

IMMIGRATION

EVERYBODY IS AFRAID NOW

WITH THE [ICE] RAIDS,

SO THEY CLING ON TO THE

FALSE GUARANTEES FROM

NOTARIOS.

— S.B. immigration attorney Arnold Jaffe (pictured)

Notarios Scamming Immigrants at Record Numbers

NEWS BRIEFS

In Past Six Months, Complaints of Immigration-Related Unauthorized Practice of Law Have Doubled in State

by Delaney Smith rowing fear within the undocumented immigrant community has bred opportunity for fraudulent immigration services as more people seeking protection from deportation flock toward immigration consultants posing as lawyers. According to Arnold Jaffe, a Santa Barbara attorney who specializes in immigration law, more than half of his clients report that they had been “ripped off ” by immigration consultants misrepresenting themselves as attorneys.

The California Immigration Consultant Program began in the 1960s to provide monolingual immigrants with nonlegal services like filling out immigration forms and submitting them to the correct United States Citizenship and Immigration Services entities. The consultants are not authorized to give legal advice or choose which forms the applicant fills out. However, many of these consultants illegally call themselves notarios — a term that in many Hispanic countries translates to a highly trained legal professional. They trick immigrants into believing the consultants are full-fledged attorneys and accepting fraudulent services that put them at risk of deportation.

In the past six months, complaints about the unauthorized practice of law (UPL) relating to immigration has doubled in the state, according to Teresa Ruano with the California State Bar. In December 2018, for example, there were 59 reports of UPL. In April, the number jumped to 106—one of which was Santa Barbara consultant Ernesto Rodriguez, who was served a cease-and-desist letter on April 25 after illegally practicing immigration law under the name Honest Immigration of Santa Barbara. Ruano said it’s impossible to determine the exact reasons for the boost, but it may be due in part to the recent efforts

G

by the State Bar to make complaint forms more widely accessible online to victims of fraud and posting warnings to immigrants on its website and social media in both English and Spanish.

Jaffe said a common “scam” immigration consultants perform is promising the client they can get them a work permit through an asylum application. The consultants fail to tell the applicants that they don’t actually qualify for asylum. When they submit their application, they get denied and sent to immigration court, where they ultimately end up in removal proceedings—or deportation. “Everybody is afraid now with the [ICE] raids,” Jaffe said, “so they cling on to the false guarantees from notarios.”

The widespread abuse by consultants has led to Assembly Bill 1753, which, if passed, would terminate the California Immigration Consultant Program entirely and become law at the beginning of 2020. It’s backed by the State Attorney General and dozens of other organizations, including IMPORTA Santa Barbara, a nonprofit with accredited representatives who can represent clients in their petitions and applications to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Russell Trenholme, volunteer coordinator at IMPORTA Santa Barbara, said he sees clients multiple times a week who were victims of legal fraud. He said that although immigration consultants are the main group committing the fraud, licensed attorneys do it, too. Attorneys licensed with the State Bar can practice immigration law, he said, even if they have never had any training in it.

“The [immigration system] is a complex web of grandfathered exceptions and discretionary decisions,” Trenholme said. “Immigration law is even more complex than tax law.” He said the most common malpractice

by licensed attorneys is charging unreasonably high fees for routine work like translations, green card renewals, or DACA renewals.

“I’ve had clients come to me and say they were instructed to lie [on immigration applications] by a notario,” said Marisol Alarcon, an immigration attorney in Carpinteria. She said many of the common immigration forms are much longer and more detailed than years ago, which creates a strong potential for perjury if the immigrant isn’t guided by a welltrained immigration attorney. She said sometimes it’s better for a client not to fill out an application if the answer to a question could be used against them in immigration court.

“I never make promises to them, because it’s out of my control,” Alarcon said. “My biggest advice to a client is to be wary of anyone who makes you a guarantee.”

Alarcon said a common way immigrants wind up in removal proceedings is when a consultant doesn’t thoroughly screen them and then has them lie either intentionally or unintentionally on immigration forms.

For example, many common immigration forms ask if the applicant has registered to vote. With some states recently allowing DMV records to merge with immigration databases, an applicant who might have unintentionally marked “yes” to register to vote on past DMV paperwork and then marked “no” on an immigration application could be found guilty of perjury and get deported over it.

To avoid being a victim of malpractice, the California State Bar recommends obtaining a written contract with a hired consultant, never signing blank forms, and making copies of every document shared with the consultant. Other tips can be found at tinyurl.com/ n sboc-tips.

CITY The roads near the East Beach volleyball courts and alongside the municipal golf course on Las Positas are newly narrowed to one lane in places.

The lane restriping effort is part of the city’s Vision Zero strategy to eliminate the multiple collisions, including fatal accidents, that have occurred in those spots. On Cabrillo Boulevard, cars now park at East Beach by backing in on the diagonal; parking nose-in is illegal. Further midtown at Las Positas, the southbound lanes just past Loreto Plaza to the traffic lights at San Onofre Road have been reduced to one lane to allow new left-turn lanes at McCaw Avenue and Stanley Drive.

COUNTY SoCal Edison and PG&E plan to shut off the power when fire weather criteria warrant it as part of their Public Safety Power Shutoff programs. In North County, the City of Lompoc is already warning its citizens of possible power shutoffs because its mountain-top transmission lines run through extreme-fire-threat zones. In the past year, utility reps said multiple alerts have gone out, but an actual shutoff happened only a handful of times.

Customers are encouraged to sign up with their respective utility to receive early notifications of potential power-offs.

On 7/25 on Goleta Pier, more than six groups came together to support the California Circular Economy and Plastic Pollution Reduction Act, aka Senate Bill 54 and Assembly Bill 1080. The measures aim to tamp down waste generation by threefourths in little more than 10 years by making all single-use packaging in the state recyclable or compostable. Proponents hope that the proposed legislation will lead to labeling requirements, incentives for in-state manufacturing to use instate recycled materials, and economic mechanisms to reduce single-use plastic distribution and promote alternatives.

IN CUSTODY: SBCC student Gabriel Natale-Hjorth (pictured above blindfolded in a police station and below in a hotel room) and Finnegan Lee Elder (at bottom) were arrested in the fatal stabbing of an Italian police officer.

Italian police have confirmed the authenticity of the above photo and are investigating why the suspect was blindfolded and who leaked the photo.

SBCC Student Accused in Rome Stabbing

O

ne of the two American teens implicated in the stabbing death of an Italian police officer as part of a drug deal gone wrong has been identified as Santa Barbara City College student Gabriel Natale-Hjorth. School officials acknowledged Natale-Hjorth 805.265.4330 was enrolled at City College last year but stated there are no records indicating his alleged accomplice, Finnegan Lee Elder, was also enrolled. Both have been implicated in the murder of 35-year-old police officer Mario Rega on July 26 in Rome. Images of Natale-Hjorth —shown blindfolded—have been saturating media coverage of the case. These images have raised questions about the extent to which his and Elder’s confessions may have been the product of duress under interrogation.

According to initial reports, Natale-Hjorth and Elder—who both attended Tamalpais High School in Marin County—were ripped off while trying to buy cocaine in Rome.

Instead of the actual drug, the two youths were given crushed-up aspirin. In response, the

two stole a backpack from the person who had pointed them toward the putative drug dealer, causing Officer Mario Rega to chase after the two Americans.

For his efforts, Rega was stabbed 11 times. Rega had been married less than two months prior to his murder.

Natale-Hjorth and Elder have reportedly confessed to their involvement in the crime, but each has reportedly sought to place more responsibility on the other. Authorities contend Elder did the actual stabbing.

Initial media accounts indicated that Elder also attended City College. School officials issued a statement decrying the killing as “tragic and devastating.” Under Italian law, the two could be held up to a year without charges being filed. According to initial media reports, Natale-Hjorth played lacrosse for his high school lacrosse team. According to interviews conducted by other news outlets, he was reportedly rough around the edges, involved in drugs, and when high, given to serious anger outbursts.

NEWS BRIEFS CONT’D FROM P. 9 COURTS & CRIME Eric Romero, a 32-year-old Carpinteria man, was taken off life support and died on 7/23 after sustaining serious injuries in a 7/20 assault on the 4900 block of 9th Street in Carpinteria. Suspect Scott Robert Fleming, 29, was arrested on 7/22 on charges of battery causing serious bodily injury and assault with great bodily injury. Because Romero died of his injuries, detectives plan to take the case to the DA’s Office to suggest charging Fleming with voluntary manslaughter. The Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with knowledge of the incident to call the nonemergency dispatch line at 683-2724.

to begin work on this important and historic project,” Yang said. “We have learned much over the last 10-plus years on the unique importance of Mauna Kea to all, and we remain committed to being good stewards on the mountain and inclusive of the Hawaiian community. Hawaii is a special place that has long pioneered and honored the art and science of astronomy and navigation. We are deeply committed to integrating science and culture on Mauna Kea and in Hawaii, and to enriching educational opportunities and the local economy.” The UC system has pledged $300 million toward the project.

On Sunday, University of Hawai’i President David Lassner visited the protest camp.

He met with elders, called kupuna, telling them, “I came here because I wanted to see you. I wanted to feel your spirit. I wanted to witness for myself firsthand what is happening here.” Protestors also received visits from actor Dwayne Johnson and reggae recording artist Damian Marley. —Tyler Hayden

Hawaiians and builders of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) since the start of construction atop the state’s tallest volcano, Mauna Kea, was announced two weeks ago. Activists protesting the desecration of what they view as sacred land have blocked trucks from accessing the site, prompting dozens of arrests and a renewed spotlight on the $1.4 billion project more than a decade in the making.

Stuck somewhere in the middle of the stalemate is UCSB Chancellor Henry Yang, chair of TMT’s Board of Governors. While he’s kept a characteristically low profile during the weeks of protests, even as UCSB students circulated an open letter demanding his resignation from the board, his office did offer a prepared statement as Hawai’i Governor David Ige fired the starting gun.

SHORT-TERM FIX: The county’s Psychiatric Health Facility only has 16 beds, which are set aside for people experiencing intense but short-term mental-health crises.

Mental Health Rehab Center Moves Forward

A

t a meeting held on July 24 at the Probation Department, the Community Corrections Partnership approved spending up to $3 million to build a new facility where individuals with severe mental illnesses can be taken for ongoing mental-health treatment under locked-down supervision. The partnership also approved spending $1.1 million a year on operating costs.

Known as the Mental Health Rehabilitation Center, or MHRC, the new facility would accommodate eight patients at a time but could be expanded to handle as many as 15. The new facility, currently slated for the county-owned space on San Antonio Road formerly occupied by a methadone treatment center, could be built in as soon as two years, said Barney Melekian with the County Executive Office.

The demand for extended forensic treatment for such populations is intense and has been for decades. The county’s Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) only has 16 beds, which are set aside for people experiencing

intense but short-term mental-health crises.

At last week’s meeting, mental-health advocates praised the decision as a crucial step forward. Lynne Gibbs, a longtime advocate with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), spoke of her own daughter’s struggles with treatment and incarceration over the years. “I can’t imagine what it would be like for her staying in jail, waiting for a PHF bed,” she said. “This is a wonderful start.”

Funding would come from state funds set aside for counties to accommodate inmates released from state prisons to be supervised by local governments. But the MHRC can only succeed, warned Public Defender Tracy Macuga, at the expense of other programs. “Someone’s going to have to give up something,” she said. “Something will be cut out of all of our budgets.” Vince Wasilewski, Chief Custody Officer for the County Jail, said the county needed to more actively engage the “the CEOs of the private sector” to make the issue of mental health —Nick Welsh their own.

S

he didn’t say much, but Assistant City Administrator Nina Johnson was the star of last Thursday’s special City Council meeting on the State Street vacancy dilemma. After giving a brief presentation recapping the issues, Johnson was named nearly a dozen times by landlords, business owners, brokers, architects, and other downtown interests as by far the best candidate to assume the economic development position City Hall is now in the process of creating. The new position was strongly recommended by an outside consulting agency as a critical first step to digging State Street out of its retail ditch. The recommendation echoed a nearly identical piece of advice from a retail study commissioned by the council in 2017.

welve individuals have taken out papers to run for the four seats up for grabs in this November’s Santa Barbara City Council elections. Five have run for office before, and three are incumbents. With August 9 as the deadline for filing, that number could easily grow.

District 2, which encompasses the Mesa and City College, has drawn the most attention with six potential candidates looking to fill the seat of termed-out Councilmember Randy Rowse. Of the six, 10-year Planning Commissioner Michael Jordan has the most experience; only one —attorney Luis Esparza—has run before. Joining the fray are first-timers Tavis Boise, a young, environmentally minded candidate whose parents started Island Seed & Feed; Teri Jory, a black belt fitness instructor and motivational speaker who is president of Our Mesa Neighborhood Inc.; real estate agent Brian Campbell; and harbor boat merchant Matt Kilrain, who goes by the colorful sobriquet “Boat Rat Matt.” Jordan has won the endorsement of the Democratic Party, Campbell is a registered Republican in a nominally nonpartisan race, and Jory has a shot at getting support from prominent

women activists who don’t always see eyeto-eye with the Democratic Party.

In District 1, which encompasses the city’s Eastside, incumbent Jason Dominguez is seeking reelection to a second term. Running for the first time is Alejandra Gutierrez, who runs the Franklin Service Center and has been endorsed by the Democratic Party.

Cruzito Herrera Cruz, who has run for council numerous times before, is jumping into the fray once again. Cruz was among the plaintiffs who successfully sued City Hall to switch from at-large to district elections, but not before having a falling out with his fellow litigants. Also running is UCSB student Ajay Patel, who coordinates intramural sports on campus.

Two of the council seats appear poised to have uncontested races. Incumbent Oscar Gutierrez of District 3—the Westside—has been endorsed by the Democratic Party and is thus far facing no opposition. The same is true for Meagan Harmon, who represents downtown’s District 6 and was appointed just months ago to fill the vacancy created when longtime Councilmember Gregg Hart was elected to the Board of Supervisors.

Latinos Veering Off College Path

students attend, compared to the state’s 70.4 percent.

However, despite the launch of the Promise program in fall 2016, City College attendance rates for Latinx students have remained steady at about 60 percent for the last five years. White students, on the other hand, have seen a 5 percent increase in enrollment to 40 percent of the total last year.

Gaona-Macedo and Future Leaders of America parents believe other factors are contributing to the disparities in four-year college attendance. One of the factors they believe is at play is that Latinx students are not completing their A-G subject requirements, courses that are necessary to apply for college, at the same rate as their white counterparts.

Parents have been lobbying the school district to align graduation requirements with A-G courses to ensure everyone is on the college-attending path when they graduate from high school.

In order to have parity in college attendance rates among all students, some will need additional support, said GaonaMacedo, and that can be controversial for people who think giving additional support is taking away from other students. The solution really starts at the school, said GaonaMacedo. “Students tend to reach goals adults —Blanca Garcia set for them.”

nly about 12 percent of Latinx high school seniors in Santa Barbara Unified went on to a four-year college or university straight out of high school last year. Comparatively, their white counterparts attended four-year institutions at a 41 percent rate in 2017-18. Future Leaders of America (FLA) Executive Director Eder Gaona-Macedo said he’s not surprised by the disparity and that it’s not unique to Santa Barbara: “It’s a systemic issue.”

While the achievement gap is an insidious issue affecting all counties across the state, Santa Barbara Unified’s four-year college attendance rate for Latinx students is almost half the state’s 20 percent. Among socioeconomically disadvantaged students, only 10 percent made it to a four-year institution straight out of high school last year.

Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education Shawn Carey said that she and her team are looking closely at this data “with an eye toward improving equity in student outcomes.” Carey pointed out that the district’s overall college-going rate that includes two-year institutions are above state averages, adding that the Santa Barbara City College Promise program has had a positive impact.

In the district, 70.6 percent of Latinx students attend some form of college, compared to the state’s 57.6 percent; and 80.9 percent of white

Two Premium Savings Rates – Just For You. IN THE PIPELINE: City water czar Joshua Haggmark said City Hall is exploring ways to help city homeowners defray the sudden expense for major and often totally unexpected infrastructure work.

Reducing Sewage-Line Sticker Shock

A

t any time, hundreds of homeowners within Santa Barbara city limits are experiencing serious sticker shock over mandatory repairs they’re told they must make on the sewage laterals that connect their residential sewage lines to the city’s serpentine system of sewer mains. “Depending on what’s involved, the price can range from $2,500 to $15,000,” stated city water czar Joshua Haggmark. “It’s a big shock.”

At this Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Haggmark outlined some ideas to take the sting off. For example, he said City Hall has contracted with a specialist in such work; residents who choose to use this vendor, he said, would have the advantage of knowing the work would be done right and at City Hall–negotiated rates. Those rates could be cited by city residents who opt to negotiate with vendors of their own choice. Estimates for such work, he noted, vary drastically.

Haggmark said City Hall is exploring grants and low-interest and revolving loans

to help defray the abrupt expense for sudden, major, and often totally unexpected infrastructure work. Likewise, he said the city hired a private consultant who suggested better communication strategies. Some critics have complained of interactions with city staff about such repairs being abrupt and unyielding.

In 2010, city planners estimated private property owners would be dealing with 75 faulty laterals a year. In 2012, City Hall began a program to have sewer mains inspected via closed-circuit TV, an industrial-grade colonoscopy that’s revealed there are now 850 faulty laterals, 500 of which are serious enough to require repairs. In response to a lawsuit over excessive sewage spills, City Hall now spends about $2 million a year on such repairs. Given that there are more miles of privately owned laterals—300—than there are city-owned sewer mains — 256 — Haggmark said it’s not unreasonable to expect private repairs to cost a similar amount. —Nick Welsh

NEWS of the WEEK CONT’D HOUSING

NEW LEASE ON LIFE: Chuck Flacks, the director of programs at PATH of Santa Barbara, believes the new website will help cut through the stigma homeless people face when looking for housing.

Zillow for Homeless People?

PATH of S.B.’s LeaseUp Connects Landlords and Housing Caseworkers

W

by Delaney Smith

ith a rental-housing vacancy rate of less than one-half percent, finding the ideal living situation in Santa Barbara is no small feat. But for a homeless person, finding any permanent housing at all can be impossible. People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) of Santa Barbara is launching a platform called LeaseUp that may be the missing piece necessary to connect the county’s homeless population with the landlords willing to rent to them.

“Some homeless people feel like they aren’t worthy because of the stigma,” said Chuck Flacks, the director of programs at PATH of Santa Barbara. “They feel like a landlord wouldn’t take them because of their homeless status.” Flacks thinks the new website will help cut through the stigma, as the program offers landlords financial incentives and guarantees that LeaseUp tenants will always pay their rent on time.

When a landlord lists rentals on the site, caseworkers with a verified account go through a LeaseUp staff member to connect with the landlord and ultimately get their homeless or low-income client onto a lease. At the end of 2018, a version of LeaseUp was launched in Los Angeles that has now housed 365 homeless people, according to PATH’s regional director Tessa Madden Storms.

“My wife and I have been renting properties for 30 years now, so we are not new to this,” said Larry Severance, a private landlord who attended the LeaseUp launch event at the Goleta Hilton Garden Inn on July 25.

“I’m really interested in this because it’s different. This makes property owners like my wife and I a part of the solution.”

LeaseUp offers information on apartment specifics much like the national real-estate website Zillow. Caseworkers can search the app in real time and filter the results through categories like subsidy type, such as Section 8, to find a match for their client.

Although Section 8 housing is rare in Santa Barbara, LeaseUp program coordinator Lauren Hofmann said the website might lead to an increase. Many landlords don’t accept Section 8 vouchers, she said, because

of either the stigma or complicated paperwork, but LeaseUp promises to help landlords through the process of accepting payments through vouchers or other subsidies.

PATH’s LeaseUp also guarantee landlords that its staff will act as a mediator if issues arise that break the rules of the lease. They want to avoid eviction, Hofmann said, and a landlord who complains to LeaseUp will receive a response within 24 hours.

“Once a couple of landlords report a good experience with this, the rest of them will realize that tenants receiving government assistance are actually less of a risk than tenants whose income comes from their jobs,” said Victor Virgen, a caseworker with New Beginnings Counseling Center. Virgen cited a recent client who became unemployed and then homeless after a car accident and went on unemployment. The government-paid money was a more reliable source for a landlord than a job’s since an employee could be laid off at any time. But Virgen found that no landlord would house his client because of their homeless status.

“This platform gives landlords a reason to work with [homeless] programs … for more than philanthropic reasons,” Hofmann said. “This is just plain good for business.”

She added that LeaseUp’s middleman role meant landlords got a single, reliable call about their rental rather than the average 50 calls per unit, which “turns them off.” It is on a first-come, first-served basis, so the caseworker who reaches LeaseUp staff first gets first priority.

Mayor Cathy Murillo, City Councilmember Jason Dominguez, and County Supervisor Gregg Hart gathered for the Thursday launch. “We all have to link arms together to solve the housing crisis,” said Hart. “This platform can be the missing link.”

The fledgling website is up and awaiting unit listings. Caseworkers who want to register can do so at leaseuplosangeles.org. Hofmann said her team plans to canvass doorto-door, table at local farmers markets, hold events, and partner with local organizations to help spread the word about the website to landlords and get units listed on the site as n soon as possible.

Every Dog Has His Day

FAME AND MISFORTUNE: Everyone, we are assured at birth, is guaranteed their 15 minutes of fame. It’s the 11th Commandment, the

28th Amendment, and the Fifth Law of Physics. Naturally, the Bible, the Constitution, and even Sir Isaac Newton are stony on such matters. Instead, it would be left to Andy Warhol —smirking artist, sneering prophet, and highglam flim-flam man —to deliver this revelation as if he were the second coming of Moses.

And maybe he was.

Very much on Warhol’s mind at the time —the mid-1960s—was a dazzling vortex of doomed beauty named Edie Sedgwick, who nearly 50 years later remains the Santa Barbaran most famously famous for merely being famous. (By contrast, Martha Graham danced, Katy Perry sings, and Sam Cunningham integrated college football by running the football for USC into the end zone of an all-white Alabama football team four times in the 1972 Rose Bowl.) Conventional wisdom holds that Warhol made Sedgwick—the scion of Boston Blue Bloods who would transform themselves into the landed gentry of Santa Barbara — into “Edie.” I think a good case could be made it was the other way around. Either way, long before there were Kardashians —and even before the invention of “branding”— there was “Edie,” impossibly thin, ridiculously vibrant, and irresistibly outrageous.

She also happened to be seriously mentally ill. And a hard-core drug addict. I could say,

“But that’s another story.” Except, of course, it’s not.

Edie Sedgwick would get her 15 minutes of fame. In fact, she’d get a whole lot more: a bestselling book in 1982 and a Hollywood movie starring Sienna Miller in 2007. But all that happened after November 16, 1970, when she was found dead—face in her pillow—killed by a barbiturate overdose in an apartment on the 2500 block of De la Vina Street. She was 28 years old.

I dredge all this up because Judge Donna Geck just issued a court ruling resolving a longfestering legal fight as to who can—and can’t —capitalize on Edie Sedgwick’s still smoldering publicity rights. At odds were Michael Scott Post, a Santa Barbara postal worker who met Sedgwick at the psych ward of Cottage Hospital and was married to her for just the last three months of her life. In 1989, Post filed legal papers asserting his rights to market his ex-wife’s likeness. Opposing Post was filmmaker Davis Weisman, to whom Sedgwick had signed away all publicity rights for the making of Ciao!

Manhattan, a rambunctiously incoherent and inspired mess of a movie that makes sense only to viewers who take as many drugs watching it as the actors do playing their roles.

Geck’s ruling hinged on a narrow legal question: Was Edie famous before or after she died?

Was she what’s known in the eyes of the law “a deceased personality”? Weisman—who would later make the critically acclaimed Kiss of the Spider Woman — argued via his attorney James Ballantine that Sedgwick’s commer-

cially exploitable fame derived exclusively

from her appearance in the film Ciao!, which first screened two years after her death. Sedgwick appeared in no other films except for Andy Warhol’s home movies made during Factory heydays, along with other creative exhibitionists and pioneers of sexual “fluidity” long before the term existed. Geck would conclude Edie had not achieved the exalted status of being “personality” at the time she became “deceased.”

All Sedgwick’s publicity rights, she ruled, had been signed over to Weisman. Case closed.

Slam dunk.

The Sedgwick saga always resonates with perverse morbidity, but especially now, as Santa Barbara gets ready to go crazy with Fiesta, Santa Barbara’s collective exaltation of drunken overindulgence and ranching culture. Francis “Duke” Sedgwick moved his family from back East to the Santa Ynez Valley in the late ’40s after he discovered he could not become the railroad tycoon he’d always dreamed of being. Instead he took up ranching, painting, sculpting, and chasing women. Doctors had warned Sedgwick not to have children; insanity ran in his veins. (He himself had been institutionalized several times, diagnosed as “manic depressive.”) He would defy the doctors and have eight, Edie being the seventh. One child would hang himself with a necktie; one would die in a motorcycle crash shortly after being released from a sanitarium.

Edie’s death is a hybrid: part suicide, part accident waiting to happen. Duke, famously, would have affairs. He was not remotely discreet. His

long-suffering wife Alice Delano DeForrest Sedgwick —just as famously—had allergies.

She sneezed an awful lot. She would, however, live longer. Before he died, Duke made the

bigger-than-life-bronze California Cowboy statue in front of Earl Warren Showgrounds;

he did the bronze of Earl Warren on a horse too.

More than that, he and his wife donated 6,000 acres — 9.2 square miles — of prime ranchland, so big it encompassed two watersheds, to UCSB’s Reserve System for environmental preservation and education. About 20 years later, UCSB would try to weasel out of that deal so they could sell the land, but Ballantine—just coincidentally?—teamed up with Environmental Defense Center lawyers to thwart that effort. As legacies go, it doesn’t get more lasting than that.

As far as Edie, history may remember her as just another muse with a short fuse, but that sells her short. Among other things, she inspired Bob Dylan —with whom she’d had an affair — to produce Blonde on Blonde, still the single best thing he ever produced. “Just Like a Woman”—“with your fog, your amphetamines and your pearls”—was clearly written directly to her; “Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat”—“You know it balances on your head just like a mattress balances on a bottle of wine”—was written directly about her and ranks—in my book at least—as the single best song Dylan ever wrote.

In life, Edie got short-changed her allotted 15 minutes of fame. But life, as someone famously famous once said, isn’t fair. And it wasn’t that —Nick Welsh creep Andy Warhol, either.

Worthy Exceptions

R

egarding San Vicente mobile home park, the state Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) does not prevent park owners from allowing subletting, either in senior or other parks. The MRL requires that park owners, at a minimum, permit subletting due to medical reasons for 6-12 months. San Vicente’s prior park owners now allow subletting at their current park.

At a 2017 meeting, St. Vincent’s said it would not allow subletting because doing so would invalidate its nonprofit status. Provided expert legal opinion that this was not true, St. Vincent’s delayed until 2018 and then set a deadline to prohibit subletting.

They promised to consider exceptions, which gave sublessees hope. Information on vulnerable sublessees was provided to St. Vincent’s. In June/July 2019, the nonprofit said there would be no exceptions for anyone.

San Vicente’s senior homeowners lose a valuable safety net with the prohibition of subletting, but I hope that St. Vincent’s will at least permit the few remaining sublessees to stay. Though I am on the homeowners’ board, I write only for myself.

Dangerous Waters

A

lexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist Paper 68, 1788: “The process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications.

Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of President of the United States.”

The 2016 Electoral College consisted of 538 electors with the ability to prevent the election of a candidate clearly possessing the undesirable traits described by Alexander Hamilton. The process failed. No objective person will deny Donald Trump’s administration has been disastrous. This has increased danger for all citizens.

We have another chance to reduce the level of danger. The impeachment process will give Republicans the opportunity to change the course of the Ship of State in full view of all citizen passengers.

Impeachment articles will pass the House vote and send the president to trial in the Senate. Republican Senators will either “reelect” Donald Trump or make history by showing no one is above the law.

— Allen DeForrest, Santa Ynez

Partisan Scrutiny

F

unny, I don’t remember far-left Santa Barbara protesting their god Obama when he did the exact same thing at the border, and if corrupt-to-thebone Clinton were president, you socialists wouldn’t give a hoot either. Most “Democrats” dislike or hate this country, so spare me. You’re actually hoping this great Trump Economy tanks. After all, it’s all about you, baby, and anyone who dares call out far-left losers is a racist, Islamaphobe, hates gays … you get — Scott Hosmer, S.B. the point.

No Montecito CSD

T

he July 18 article on Montecito Community Services District proposal asks, “Will residents embrace new taxes for a smorgasbord of new services?” No! Each of Montecito’s eight Special Districts have boatloads of money. Residents would embrace costsaving measures. Start with a comprehensive identification of waste and outrageous expenses in each district, to be weighed against results or customer satisfaction. The use of tax funds by each district’s Board of Directors should be followed by a community discussion of why Montecito residents want to drive out elders and less-affluent residents by increasing fees and taxes. The answer is “Because they can!” The leaders of the Montecito district are studying city and county practices of increasing fees and taxes to drive out what’s left of the middle and working classes.

Martha Stapp Bruss 08/17/1928 – 07/19/2019

Martha Stapp Bruss, born on August 17, 1928 in Evergreen, Alabama passed peacefully on July 19, 2019 with family at her bedside at her home at The Samarkand.

In her early life, she was employed by The Shell Development Corporation in Emeryville, California where she met and married Dr. Douglas Bruss. She later became a full time homemaker and a devoted mother in Orinda, California.

A resident of Santa Barbara for five decades, she acquired many friends in town from all walks of life. She was as comfortable supporting the homeless, as she was laughing with Father Virgil at Fiesta, or dancing on a cruise ship. She loved teaching the Fish Class, a special needs group, at the First Presbyterian Church, which she did for many years, and also volunteering at CADA. In her later life, she was an active member of the Samarkand campus, where she helped in the gift shop and was a volunteer with the Amazing Grays. A life long lover of learning, she planned to start her next campus class this July. Having a zest for life, she participated in many activities on campus until the last few weeks of her life.

Martha was a member of the Mission Canyon Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Santa Barbara Women’s Club Rockwood, and the Assistance League of Santa Barbara.

Donating her time to the Schoolhouse Project at Hillside House was a special pleasure.

Blessed with a love of life, a caring soul, and an infectious smile, she remained positive and optimistic throughout her life. She much preferred to give rather than to receive.

spending time with family and friends fed her soul, but she most enjoyed her grandchildren and was always the first to offer to spend time with them. To them, she was known as a “cool grandparent.”

Martha is survived by her sisters, Celia Agnew and Odette Hockin; and her children, Kitty Parente (Stephen) of CT., Celia Hardy (Dennis), Carolyn Paige Petlow (Andrew); and by her grandchildren, Michelle Parente DiMartino of CT., Avery Hardy, and Rexford Hardy; and her great granddaughter, Sierra DiMartino, of CT., along with her nieces and a nephew. A special thank you to all of the loving and caring staff at The Samarkand.

Known there as “Martita,” she considered the compassionate staff there as family, and was treated by them like family.

Our beloved Martha will forever remain in our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care or to The Samarkand Benevolent Fund.

(Texas). He attended Pinehurst High School where he played varsity basketball and learned the dance “The Shag”. While attending college in North Carolina he was drafted into the United States Army in 1967. After attending basic training in Fort Bragg, North Carolina he was sent to serve his term in Vietnam. Upon completion of his service in Vietnam, he returned to North Carolina. He and his friend Don Cline drove to California on a road trip, and he ended up living in California for the rest of his life.

He lived in Upland, CA for a period of time where he met his wife Judie in 1970. They married in 1972 and moved to Chicago to further his career in precious metals and commodities. They had an opportunity to come back to CA and moved to Hacienda Heights to raise their family.

After starting a successful business in Los Angeles and seeing the growth and congestion in the LA area, Jim and Judie decided to purchase a ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley in 1979. They planned their dream house and after construction moved their family to Los Olivos and have been there ever since. He ran his Southern California business from an office in Ventura for over 40 years.

Jim spent his life outside of work being involved in the community. He was a youth soccer coach for over a decade, volunteered on fundraising committees for various local non-profits, was a member of the Viking Charities in Solvang, and served as a Santa Ynez Valley High School Board Member.

In 2008 after many years of talking about going into business together Jim and his son Jaime started making moves to get into the craft brewing business and purchased an industrial location in Buellton, CA. They brought to life a dream of theirs and opened the doors in 2010. Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. has grown to a strong regional brewery exceeding their expectations.

Jim loved business, but mostly loved the people that it allowed him to meet. He believed in people and saw the potential that they had. He received great joy in seeing other people happy and made a consistent effort to make

people smile. He squeezed every last drop out of life. He put others first before himself and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

We will never stop missing him or living in his honor.

Services were held at St Mark’s Church in Los Olivos, CA, on Saturday July 27 th , and interment with military honors took place at Oak Hill Cemetery in Ballard, CA. In lieu of flowers please feel free to make donations in his name to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help others fight this disease. (lls. org)

complement to the show in that it displays the kind of grandly conceived and professionally executed images that made the Fiesta fantasy so popular.

W. Edwin and Carolyn Gledhill were professional photographers who operated a studio here and who took a strong interest in collecting and preserving the work of the other highly skilled people working in this medium in the city. Working forward from the marvelous Alexander Harmer painting of “Moonlight” doings during a traditional Fiesta ROMANCE IN EL PASEO: Hollywood helped peoof the 1890s, one finds ple imagine how to pose as Spanish lovers in the photographers lining up El Paseo during the early years of Fiesta. to re-create the fantasies of colonial Spanish culture propagated by the novel Ramona and such early films as 1920s The Mark of Zorro with Douglas Fairbanks. Thanks to the cooperation of thousands of like-minded residents, many of them with equestrian experience, artists such as Karl Ober could take pictures of the Ranchos Visitadores crossing a stream in Santa Ynez that were straight out of a Hollywood western. H. Edgerton and Florence McAllister performed for many years the duties of the official portraitist to the Old Spanish Days, and the Gledhill exhibit displays multiple examples of their elegant work in large-format black-and-white, none more expressive and joyful than

the charming portrait of Sam J. Stanwood, who was El Presidente for 20 years, from 1927 to 1947. Central casting could do no better than life itself in creating this colorful character.

James Walter Collinge excelled at capturing the theatricality of early Fiesta celebrations, from the thrill of seeing sisters on impeccably brushed and braided palominos to the pageantry of the Old Spanish Days ceremonies that once took place at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Perhaps most charmingly of all, Collinge caught the playful spirit of romance that animated the earliest Old Spanish Days celebrations in a series of scenes he created with the help of costumed revelers in the passages of El Paseo. These images of carefree people playacting in what amounted to a Spanish set may not have had much to do with the reality of Santa Barbara’s history, but they are valuable today as reminders of how the cinematic dream of Southern California took a specific, metaphorical turn in our city thanks to the splendid architecture that still distinguishes our downtown.

F E AT U R E IT TAKES A TEAM: Lead Holistic Defense Advocate Erica Bottorff and the Community Defender Division work together to help clients connect with community resources as they make their way through the court system.

DEFENDING SANTA BARBARA’S MOST VULNERABLE

BY BLANCA GARCIA

Public Defenders and Family Service Agency Give Clients a Voice Through Holistic Defense

A

t 40 years old, Jessica is learning to live a new kind of life. She grew up in Santa Barbara helping her mom steal things from stores and being verbally and physically abused by her family. “I grew up so sad,” she told the Independent. Jessica (not her real name) was still a bright kid who got good grades, but nevertheless had to juggle holding down a job, watching her younger siblings, and tending to the house.

“By 17, I wanted to retire,” she said.

She moved in with an older boyfriend, was introduced to meth, and began a life spent in and out of jail.

Though she struggled to get her life in order, working hard to become a registered nurse, she let her relationships control everything. “I ruined my life trying to get my mom to love me,” she said.

The endless cycle of jail continued even after Jessica had a baby. But two years ago, when she was arrested, a new program called Holistic Defense was being launched, and she was selected to become a recipient. While she was in jail, her mother tried to get custody of her child. “Nobody cared about [my child] and me and our relationship,” she said. Not until Lead Advocate for Holistic Defense Erica Bottorff got involved. With Bottorff ’s help, Jessica was able to retain custody of

her child, receive treatment for her substance abuse, and live at Transition House with her baby. Jessica, who has been sober for almost two years now, says she can’t even think about Bottorff without getting emotional. “Going to court is so scary,” she said. “They don’t let you talk, but Erica gives you a voice. She’s given me another life.”

SOMEONE IN YOUR CORNER

A run-in with the law can leave a permanent mark on a person’s life.

A night in jail can cause someone to lose a job. Court fees can force a family to decide between food on the table or being in contempt of court. An offense can disqualify a person from housing and call into question their immigration status.

The collateral effects on an individual, a family, and the community are endless. “The belief that a misdemeanor arrest or conviction is insignificant … Could be nothing further from the truth,” said Public Defender Tracy Macuga.

Poverty comes with an additional load of barriers that make it difficult to navigate through life and nearly impossible to focus on fighting a court case. Often, it’s those same barriers that drive someone into the traps leading to jail. To remedy this, the Office of Public Defend-

ers (OPD) and the Family Service Agency (FSA) joined together to pilot a Holistic Defense program in Santa Barbara. The program is structured and developed to address the problems caused by run-ins with the law and to ease the hardships of poverty that can keep folks caught in the web of criminal justice and incarceration.

There are five major areas that Holistic Defense tackles: lack of housing, unemployment, substance abuse, mental health, and additional legal trouble such as probation, child custody, or immigration status.

But Holistic Defense goes far beyond those areas. It takes people who are susceptible to being invisible in the community and the court system and makes them feel seen and heard, said FSA Holistic Defense Manager Gabriela Dodson.

One Holistic Defense client certainly agrees. Jack (not his real name) likes to say he’s been at the Public Defender’s office longer than any of the lawyers there today. And he might be right. Now in his late fifties, he had his first public defender when he was 16 years old. Through-

out the course of his life, Jack served 12 years behind bars and spent 28 collective years on probation. Born and raised in Santa Barbara, Jack had a difficult childhood during which he says, “Everyone always took advantage of me.” He started drinking and taking drugs as a young teen and always had trouble managing his anger.

‘It’s too hard [on your own].

You just end up stumbling through life. [With the Holistic Program] I got rescued, not arrested.’

-Jack

About two years ago, Jack was arrested when he lost his temper and damaged property. After his employer found out, he was fired even though he had been awarded employee of the month just before his arrest. Following his arrest, he became estranged from his family, lost his housing, and was forced to move into his car, where he subsequently developed a painful case of shingles.

Now, two year later, his life has made a complete turnaround. Jack has been sober for two and a half years, is employed, has stable housing, regained his health, and says his daughters complain he’s too happy.

He attributes all of this to the Holistic Defense program and the work of Bottorff, who was his social advocate. “I just let her help me,” he said.

He was surprised at how far he’d come in the time since his arrest. He recalled a time when he reached out to Bottorff. “I was hysterical when I called,” he said.

Bottorff stayed with him every step of the way, immediately working to get him food stamps that same day, finding him proper medical care, and connecting him with an effective anger management program. “Every time I went to court, Erica was there,” he said. “And the judge would ask her, ‘What do you think, Ms. Bottorff?’” Jack thinks of Bottorff as his partner. “It’s too hard [on your own],” he said. “You just end up stumbling through life.” As far as he is concerned, Holistic Defense changed his life. “I got rescued,” he said, “not arrested.”

More than anything, clients appreciate being listened to and gaining a voice in the court system through their social advocate. Clients said they felt understood and seen as more than just a police report or file. “The understanding that goes along with it … [having a] voice in court is everything,” Jessica said. Holistic Defense creates space for the client and allows for them to actively participate in their defense. “When clients feel like they have a role, they’re more on board,” Bottorff said.

Social advocates are working upstream to gain the trust of clients who generally have feelings of mistrust for the criminal justice system. Social advocates show up consistently and follow through on their promises to clients. “We’ve gone to PHFs [psychiatric health facilities], Cottage, we’re in the community with clients,” Dodson said. In a study done by Public Policy Institute researcher Heather Harris, one client remembered, “[The social advocate] said she was gonna keep track of how I did in a year. … And she was gonna be there at court supporting me and telling the DA and the attorneys that I was doing good if I did good. And she did, she actually did.”

Holistic Defense is making a tangible difference in the lives of clients and changing the way they perceive the criminal justice system. These were some of the goals in mind when FSA and OPD applied for a funding grant in 2017 to launch the pilot program. The program is one of only a handful in the nation and structured after the Bronx Public Defenders in New York City.

The Bronx Defenders championed Holistic Defense in the ’90s, fueled by the frustration of seeing a revolving door of clients who seemed to be caught indefinitely in the system. Macuga shares a similar sentiment. “To be effective and competent is so much more than getting a client a good deal or winning a trial,” she said. “It’s about helping them as people and keeping them out for longer periods of time and in turn helping the community.”

Holistic Defense recently received a grant to fund an additional social worker to specifically help women in the criminal justice system. A person’s involvement with the criminal justice system can have compounding effects on their families, communities, and even the local economy, Macuga said. These effects are heightened when women get involved because oftentimes, they are mothers.

Because the entire program is still in its initial stages, not all public defender clients can receive Holistic Defense. Clients who are selected and screened by attorneys are also assigned a social advocate. Together,

the three work the legal case, as well as the underlying problems plaguing the client. While the three work closely together, their efforts are reinforced by a team of miracle workers behind the scenes.

MOVERS & SHAKERS Holistic Defense has a Community Defender Division helping attorneys, clients, and social advocates make moves. The team of treatment coordinators help connect clients with housing, treatment, transportation, and other necessities.

Connecting people who are low income with programs that work for them is more difficult than it sounds. “If you have insurance, then you have options, but some low-income people don’t even have Medi-Cal, and programs are full,” Bottorff said.

That’s where the team comes in. Treatment coordinators work to find programs compatible for clients and then drive clients all around the state so they can make their appointments in these programs.

Investigative Assistant Ruendy Aguayo spends a lot of time getting to know clients as he drives them around the state to programs and appointments.

“They know they’re going through a difficult time, but as long as they want to move forward, we’re going to be there every step of the way,” Aguayo said.

Before getting paired with a treatment program, clients must be document-ready, meaning they need to have some form of identification and a Social Security card. After the treatment program they must have a housing option. “It’s virtually impossible to be sober and safe if you’re living on the street,” said South Coast Housing Coordinator Iliana de Hoyos.

The social advocate can work with the client in a way that isn’t possible between an attorney and client. “There are things we can’t do because we don’t have the skills to do them,” Macuga said. But Bottorff and the other social advocates are trained for this type of work and can talk to and get to know clients in ways attorneys cannot. “It allows me to better advocate,” said Public Defender Rebecca Seldin.

They provide depth and dimension to a case, allowing the judge to see a human standing in the dock, rather than just reading a file on the bench.

The social advocate also writes a report with the clients about the progress and work they’re doing

to help themselves that is then presented to the courts.

While the main objective is to curb recidivism and to help the client in the courtroom, Holistic Defense has an impact far beyond that. The Holistic Defense space on the first floor of the Public Defender’s office reflects that. The lavender-scented office has a homey feel to it, with art up on the walls, a couch, and coffee and tea for clients. The Community Defender Division has an open-door policy and many clients take full advantage of that. Often, clients are already waiting for them when social advocates and team members come in. Clients ask for warm clothes, sleeping bags, hygiene products, and other day-to-day necessities. There’s also a library inside the Holistic Defense office where clients can borrow books — anything from self-help to James Patterson and Barbara Kingsolver.

BUT IS IT WORKING? The program is only just starting to kick off the ground and pick up speed, but already it has made a difference in Santa Barbara. In funding the pilot program, the Laura and John Arnold Foundation budgeted for a pilot study to be conducted in conjunction with the program. Then UC Berkeley postdoc and current research fellow for the Public Policy Institute of California Heather Harris conducted the study. Harris found Holistic Defense clients were sentenced to serve less time and had charges dropped more often than their control counterparts.

The differences are fairly significant. Little research has been conducted on the effectiveness of Holistic Defense, in part because the practice is still relatively new. One of the few studies, and the only conducted over a 10-year period, examined the effectiveness of the Bronx Defenders. The Bronx study, also known as the RAND study, showed Holistic Defense had a 16 percent drop in incarceration, cut pre-trial detention by 9 percent, shortened sentence length by 24 percent, and saved New York taxpayers an estimated $165 million on housing costs alone. Santa Barbara’s finding were even more significant.

In Santa Barbara, Holistic Defense clients were sentenced to 50 percent fewer days in jail than their control counterparts. This translated into a $250,000 saving for the county. These savings were generated by the 48 holistic clients served in a period of a little over a year. Holistic Defense clients also had a 60.7 percent greater likelihood to have charges dropped and were 25.8 percent less likely to plead guilty. All of this while maintaining the safety of the community.

However, the RAND study did not show a reduction in recidivism and the Santa Barbara study was not conducted long enough to have recidivism data be statistically significant. But even if Holistic Defense does not impact recidivism, it’s difficult to dismiss the rippling effects it has on the community. “Our jails are a reflection of our community,” Macuga said. “Through Holistic Defense, we’re helping the commun nity on a deeper level.”

The Pinnacle of Picnics

W

A

n easy 125 miles from Santa Barbara, the small town of Cambria — nearly hidden in plain sight right off Highway 1 — welcomes visitors with all the crisp and rugged forces of nature classic to the Central Coast. There’s course sand underfoot and stiff wind off the water. Cold breakers crash against rocky points, and tide pools teem with bull kelp and striped shore crabs. Along the bluffs, trails and boardwalks run for miles against a backdrop of forested mountains. All of it makes for a nice, long pit stop, for sure. Better yet, try Cambria as a destination, even for just a weekend.

STAY Late on a recent Friday afternoon, my family and I checked in to Oceanpoint Ranch (oceanpointranch .com), an unassuming single-level hotel at the northern end of Moonstone Beach Drive. The ladies running the lobby welcomed our two small dogs with gifts of matching bandanas, and across the street, trails through Leffingwell Landing State Park and along the Moonstone Beach Boardwalk provide plenty of leashed roaming room.

Oceanpoint is kid-friendly, as well, with cornhole, horseshoes, croquet, and firepits out front, a yearround heated pool out back, plus a rec room featuring foosball, tabletop shuffleboard, and a giant Scrabble board on one wall. Our room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. For a surprisingly long stretch of tranquility, the 50-inch flat-screen TB stayed off; instead, we stared at real wood flame from the fireplace.

EAT Onsite at Oceanpoint, The Canteen opens at 7 a.m. for breakfast, with a walkup menu highlighted by steel cut oats, blueberry pancakes, and those unrefusable egg-and-potato burritos that get griddled to a toasty crunch just before plating. Each evening, the chalkboard boasts jalapeño cornbread, smoked Gouda mac and cheese, and plenty beef-based protein, plus wild mushroom pasta.

Where Main Street runs through the center of town — where much of Cambria’s original architecture has been deliberately honored and maintained — Linn’s restaurant and gift shop (linnsfruitbin.com) serves as a hub of comfort standards, fresh-baked goodies, and regional wines. I enjoyed breaded California sand dabs with au gratin potatoes and ginger carrots while my

better half held praise for jumbo prawns sautéed in olive oil, chopped basil, and minced garlic. With Linn’s extensive dessert menu, it’s an easy place for your eyes and taste buds to run the table. We left happy and ready to hit the sack.

We took it up a notch the following evening, taking a seat on the oceanfront patio at Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill (moonstonebeach.com) for exceptional in-house clam chowder in a toasted sourdough round, walnut pesto shrimp pasta, and apple-chutney pork tenderloin. The GM stopped by for some small talk — turns out, he enjoys spending his weekend getaways in Santa Barbara, exploring the Funk Zone and enjoying an ocean-view meal at Hendry’s Beach.

DO Between meals, we were guided by the magnetic pull of the Pacific Ocean. The boardwalk and attached trail system provide countless access points (near plenty of free parking) to sandy coves framed by rocky headlands, where each small slice of coast seems suited for a particular ocean-goer, from sunbathers and beachcombers to surfers and anglers.

We also sought to shove off from terra firma, taking the 20-minute drive south to Morro Bay, where Central Coast Outdoors (centralcoastoutdoors.com) set us up with two-person kayaks and a guide, Katherina, well-versed in the surrounding natural and human history. Spoiler: Did you know that in the late 1800s, the market for plumage-adorned women’s hats drove snowy egrets to the brink of extinction? Neither did we. Katherina also put us near sleepy sea otters and oyster farms in the shallows. Don’t forget to tip your guide.

Another highly recommended swath of coastal open space is the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve (ffrp cambria.org), 437 acres of Cambria ranchland once threatened by development and now open to the public everyday around the clock for free. Much like our own Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve, it took a determined village to protect Fiscalini, and there’s a trail for every energy level of hiking and biking.

And all of it — from pet-friendly lodging and seaside dining to coastal treks and ocean-borne adventures — is just a two-hour drive from home.

S.B. Dog Wins National Modeling Contest

B

uttercup, a Chihuahua mix residing in Santa Barbara, recently won Wild Earth pet food’s national modeling competition, beating out a field of more than 600 pooches. Wild Earth, which developed a new vegan dog food, was looking for a fresh face to feature in a commercial and documentary about the brand. The company put out the call on Instagram, and Buttercup, the active social media influencer that she is, saw the announcement and had to enter.

(She may have had had a little help from her owner, Kristen Weiss, a marine ecologist and science communicator with UCSB.) When she isn’t winning modeling contests, Buttercup likes to make Instagram posts about the importance of conservation, the environment, and science. She hopes that her new platform will allow her to spread the word about unethical practices in the pet food industry and give kudos to Wild Earth for trying to change to that. Keep an eye out for Buttercup’s commercial debut set to air in late August. In the meantime, give her a follow at @buttercup.the.ocean.pup. — Ava Doré

Weekend Getaway to Cambria

SANDRA VEGA

NICE DAY: Across the street from Oceanpoint Ranch hotel, a short path leads to this stretch of the Cambria coast.

ith parks galore, ocean views, and ideal weather, Santa Barbara is the perfect place for a picnic. Inspired by our setting, UCSB graduate Nicole Leza started Santa Barbara Picnic Co., a company that creates custom picnics for any occasion.

Leza loves the outdoors and had always been interested in event styling.

She especially loved the design of soirees put together by an Australian clothing boutique, where guests plop down on beautiful rugs surrounded by fluffy pillows and low tables. “They always created these cozy, magical settings for groups to gather and connect,” Leza said. “I knew I wanted to try and incorporate that style in my own settings with my friends.”

Leza’s business (santabarbara picnicco.com) has taken off through interest on Instagram. With images of captivating sunsets, crisp beverages, velvety blankets, fresh flowers, and bountiful cheese plates, it’s no wonder she’s amassed a following. Over the past year, she’s produced a number of private and public picnic events, everything from brunch to silent yoga on the beach to romantic couples’ picnics.

She’s also built positive relationships with area florists, chefs, caterers, and designers looking to take part. “As a small local business, I like to source and support other local or small businesses as well,” Leza said. Picnic packages include delivery, setup, styling, and cleanup, so that guests can focus on enjoying their time together. All aspects are customizable, including special menus and specific locations, such as Leadbetter Beach or Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden, so that no two experiences are the same.

“I love working with clients based on their unique needs,” Leza said. “I especially love when it’s a surprise for a guest — those always make it extra exciting.” Leza hopes to eventually produce larger events and expand to other areas, but for now, she has found fertile ground for picnics right on the American Riviera.

Estelle Vineyards, where Jaye and Peter Ganibi operate Vino Vaqueros, the unique horseback riding and wine tasting experience located in the Santa Ynez Valley. Eager to fulfill my cowgirl dreams, I made my way up the long driveway of the property, which was surrounded by vineyards on either side, and came across a quaint white barn and a green lawn with several picturesque picnic tables.

some horses that are nearly 20 years old and some baby foals,” Lucas explained as we passed a group of them grazing on our way past the vineyard. Duke became a tiny speck trotting in the distance, staying wary of creatures who might spook the horses.

The silence was a refreshing escape from the daily hustle and bustle of Santa Barbara.

“We get a lot of people coming from town, but most come from Orange County or L.A.,” Lucas explained. It was easy to see the appeal of the experience for city folk as we reached the top of a hill where I could see miles of flourishing vineyards in one direction and the endless countryside filled with shady trees in the other.

As I opened the door of my car, I was quickly greeted by the Ganibis’ dog, Duke, who jumped into my lap. “He’s just a puppy, but he leads the path on our rides,” Jaye Ganibi explained to me, beaming and inviting me inside.

The interior of the barn felt as if I were stepping into the rustic section of Pottery Barn, beautifully decorated with wood finishing and blooming flowers.

“Make yourself at home,” said Ganibi, setting down a glass of water and some paperwork to fill out before the ride.

he Project is now open at 214 State Street

2005, he created his business, World Cuisine Express, for that purpose.

in the former home of Union Ale. First reported in this column back in November 2017, The Project is a partnership between Corazon Cocina, which has a location in the Santa Barbara Public Market at 38 West Victoria Street, and Captain Fatty’s Craft Brewery, whose flagship outlet is at 6489 Calle Real, Ste. D, in Goleta.

Corazon Cocina’s general manager Kassia Walker says that their menu offers some classic items from the Public Market location, but the majority are new, fresh takes by Chef Ramon Velazquez. Growing up in Guadalajara, Mexico, Velazquez’s love of food was nurtured by his mother and grandmother, who taught him how to make traditional Mexican dishes and create meals inspired by the local markets. Velazquez immigrated to the United States in 1990 and began working in restaurants in Santa Barbara, most notably as a sushi chef for the beloved restaurant Arigato for almost nine years and then moving on to the role of executive chef for Cielito.

The Captain Fatty’s program is also different than the Goleta location, in that they will also serve cider, wine, and guest taps in addition to their own beers. Captain Fatty’s started when friends Jon “Captain” Wadell and Bryan “Fatty” Anderson began homebrewing beer a decade ago.

With another friend, Preston Angell, on board, they set sail in October 2014, eventually expanding to a 15-barrel system with 120 barrels of fermentation capacity.

The Project is open Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.10:30 p.m., and Friday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-11:30 p.m.

Later hours and a late-night menu are also on the way, with breakfast and coffee on the way as well.

Special Brewing Company would be taking over the 6,500-square-foot venue, I called the Goletabased brewery and was told there is no projected opening date, but that remodeling is underway. M. Special’s flagship operation at 6860 Cortona Drive, Bldg. C, in Goleta opened in September 2015.

M. Special continues the brewery phenomenon across the South Coast. This year alone has seen the arrival of Captain Fatty’s on State Street, Shalhoob Beer Company, Modern Times, Institution Ale, and Night Lizard.

ner at the FisHouse restaurant, I noticed a sign across the way at 11 Anacapa Street, announcing the development of a space for a restaurant. The notice said the project includes the “remodeling and adaptive reuse of the existing 11,201-netsquare-foot warehouse building,” including “conversion of 2,500 net square feet to a restaurant use with 1,834-square-foot outdoor dining patio, conversion of 1,291 net square feet to retail, demolition of 1,310 net square feet of second floor area, a parking lot reconfiguration and accessibility improvements, and a new trash enclosure and transformer.”

Los Olivos Wine Merchant Café. I imagined their upbringing had to be similar to that of the Ganibi children, whom we saw arriving home as we made our way back to the white barn.

“It’s a fun place for little kids to run around,” Lucas said. “I mean, it’s fun for both kids and adults to go out for a ride. We get all ages and have horses of a lot of different sizes.”

Giving my spotted horse a good scratch goodbye, Lucas and Emily helped me descend back to the ground. My thighs were aching, but I looked forward to the glass of wine awaiting me that was sure to dull some of the pain. My friend and I took a seat on one of the patio tables on the lawn, the sound of wind chimes peacefully filling the quiet.

After we did some stretching, Lucas came out to give us a taste of both red and rosé locally crafted Rake Wine, and we eventually decided on a glass of refreshing rosé. Watching Jaye prepare some new riders inside the barn, Lucas explained, “Jaye pretty much runs the whole operation. She’s just passed their 10-year anniversary of Vino Vaqueros.”

It certainly seems as if the Ganibis and their expert guides have the enterprise down to a sci-

ence. Yet they are able to make the experience tranquil, welcoming each rider into their little family for the day. We left with sore muscles and a serene state of mind, off to chow down on some pizza and some more wine at Los Olivos Wine Merchant Café, as Emily had recommended.

It’s clear Vino Vaqueros is the destination for both locals and out-of-town visitors looking for a quiet country getaway, even if just for a few hours.

CALL ME: As the most commercially successful of the groups to come out of CBGB, Blondie has always been more pop than punk, but that doesn’t mean they lack power, especially when it comes to the beat.

PUMP IT UP

MOTH SMOKE

ELVIS COSTELLO AND BLONDIE AT THE BOWL

W

hether you first heard them when they were emerging as members of rock’s New Wave in the late 1970s, or decades later as representative classic artists of the 1980s, Elvis Costello and Blondie both occupy outsized positions in pop music history. Books have been written about how the musicians of the period 1977-1985 changed music forever, but it’s not necessary to read them — all you need to do is listen again to the immense wealth of enduring material that found its way to record stores and radio stations back when vinyl was still the only game in town. Or, even better, get to the Santa Barbara Bowl on Wednesday, August 7, when Costello and his group the Imposters will be joined by Blondie for the summer’s number-one throwback concert. Ask anyone who saw their contemporary David Byrne at the Bowl last summer — the music of this era has a lot more kick to it than just nostalgia, and both these outfits will deliver.

For Elvis Costello, who had to cancel partway through his last tour due to health concerns, this summer’s double bill with Blondie and another solo tour coming up this fall represent an opportunity to dig deep and hit the stage hard, which is by all reports exactly what he has been doing.

Reviews of the early dates have Costello in top form and blazing through fast, loud

sets that are typically around 90 minutes and 18 songs long. Expect him to begin by advising everyone to “Pump It Up” and to conclude with the immortal rhetorical question, “(What’s So Funny ’Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding?”

As for Blondie, they have been working toward this moment for a while, and from a recent conversation I had with drummer Clem Burke, it sounds like they are prepared to shred. Burke has been a cornerstone of the group’s success since day one, the propulsive engineer and athlete who drives their slinky, syncopated takes on a wide range of pop genres. Often cited as pioneers of both rap (“Rapture”) and disco (“Heart of Glass”), the musicians of Blondie belong to a sophisticated and canny crew who came of age on New York’s Bowery as part of the CBGB club scene.

According to Burke, one of the conditions of Blondie getting back together in the 1990s was that they “make new music,” and the results of that decision have been fortunate. “Maria” was a hit in 1999, and they have released three albums of new material in the 2010s. It’s a testament to the durability of their unique sound that frontwoman Debbie Harry can cowrite “Long Time” with Blood Orange and the group can cover Charli XCX on “Gravity” (both from 2017’s Pollinator LP) and

MOHSIN HAMID’S

still keep their identity. Set lists from early in the tour include “Old Town Road.”

It seems Blondie are having a hot girl summer.

As the most commercially successful of the groups to come out of CBGB, Blondie has always been more pop than punk, even when Harry was on the cover of Punk magazine back in 1977. But that doesn’t mean they lack power, especially when it comes to the beat. Like Elvis Costello’s drummer Pete Thomas, Clem Burke belongs to a generation who drew on the strengths of such classic rock forerunners as The Who’s Keith Moon to create a sound that was so exciting everyone assumed it was totally new. In recent years, Burke has devoted some of his boundless energy to paying tribute to the great musicians who influenced him, as one can hear on “The Wrecking Crew,” an ode to the great studio band of that name that he recently recorded with the Santa Barbara–based group the Tearaways. In front of what promises to be an enthusiastic crowd, Burke is sure to do some wrecking of his own.

Daru loses his job at a bank and his life spirals out of control. Aurangzeb, or Ozi as he’s known to his friends, courts and parties with the elite of Lahore who never lack for hash, Scotch, and ecstasy. Mumtaz, Ozi’s lovely wife, writes about Pakistan’s demimonde under a pseudonym. Murad Badshah is the outlaw captain of a rickshaw fleet. Moth Smoke is told through the eyes of these finely drawn characters.

Author Mohsin Hamid is a protean novelist who never repeats himself; each of his novels, including The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Exit West, is unique.

Hamid trains a knowing eye at places where the West and the Islamic world intersect, where tradition clashes with modernity, and where the privileged few meet the desperate many. In Moth Smoke, Hamid depicts a Pakistan where the wealthy and socially well-connected operate with near immunity, and the poor remain in the stations of their birth. Daru and Ozi were childhood friends, as close as brothers, but it was Ozi’s father, a high-ranking government official not above profitable corruption, who opened doors for Daru that would otherwise have remained closed for a boy of his humble origin.

As Daru’s life slides into dissolution, drug dealing, and crime, he and Mumtaz begin a doomed love affair.

Both are trapped in their situations for different reasons, but only Daru believes in a future together.

“I was never going to leave Ozi for you,” Mumtaz tells Daru. “I told you that from the beginning.” Like a moth circling a candle flame, Daru is destined to fly too close to that which he cannot obtain.

Mohsin Hamid will appear in the UCSB Arts & Lectures Speaking with Pico Series in April 2020.

EDITED BY MICHELLE DROWN

Dora and the Lost City of Gold

SPECIAL SCREENING Smallfoot (96 mins., PG) Warner Animation Group presents this animated musical comedy/adventure about a Yeti (Channing Tatum) who’s convinced he’s glimpsed the elusive creature known as Smallfoot (aka humans) and sets out to find it. James Corden, Zendaya, Common, LeBron James, and Danny DeVito also star.

Camino Real (Thu., Aug. 8, 10am)/ Paseo Nuevo (Tue.-Wed., Aug. 6-7, 10am)

PREMIERES Dora and the Lost City of Gold (102 mins., PG)

Isabela Moner stars as the titular Dora in this live-action cinematic version of the popular Nickelodeon animated television series. As Dora begins high school, her parents are kidnapped and the intrepid explorer and her friends must venture in to the deep jungles surrounding a lost Inca civilization to rescue them.

Fairview/Fiesta 5

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (134 mins., PG-13) In this spin off of the Fast & Furious franchise, Diplomatic Security Service agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and former British Special Forcesturned-mercenary Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) pair up to help Shaw’s sister, Hattie (Vanessa Kirby), an MI6 agent tasked with bringing down rogue MI6 agent Brixton Lore (Idris Elba).

Arlington/Camino Real/Metro 4

The Mountain (106 mins., NR) In this drama set in the 1950s, Tye Sheridan stars as Andy, a shy photographer assigned work with Dr. Wallace Fiennes (Jeff Goldblum), a lobotomist whose work was recently debunked. During his tenure, Andy begins to identify with Fiennes’s asylum patients, particularly with a woman named Susan (Hannah Gross).

Riviera

NOW SHOWING The Farewell (98 mins., PG) Awkwafina (Ocean’s Eight, Crazy Rich Asians) and Tzi Ma (Man in the High Castle) star in this dramedy about a

family who gathers together one last time before grandma Nai Nai’s passing.

Paseo Nuevo

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)

Paige Hauschild Injured in Nightclub Collapse; Kami Craig and Juanita Webster-Freeman Inspire Athletes to Rise

Webster-Freeman, 22, came to the SBTC on the recommendation of her coach at Cerritos College, where she became a two-time state community college champion in the heptathlon.

Previously she led Redlands High to two CIF Division 2 titles.

“I could see her athleticism and capability to be an outstanding heptathlete,” track club coach Josh Priester said. “There are many things I’ve had to adjust and learn to be able to coach Juanita. We are still working through it.

We have to make sure that we are communicating effectively and not ‘overcoaching’ her.”

“Track and field made me become mature,” Webster-Freeman said. “It’s like a focused type of environment and helps me see what I’m supposed to do.

I’m a visual person, so seeing all these things around me captivate me. I want to do all those things, practice those things. I have to do it that way. I try to perfect it.”

Webster-Freeman and Hope Bender represented Santa Barbara at the USA Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, last weekend.

s dominant as American women are while kicking a ball around a soccer pitch, they are even more so while tossing a ball around a pool. The USA Water Polo women’s national team won its third consecutive FINA World Championship last Friday, defeating Spain 11-6 in Gwangju, South Korea.

But it took a calamity for the championship to be reported in national news broadcasts and headlines. U.S. team members were celebrating their triumph Saturday at a nightclub near the athletes’ village in Gwangju when a balcony collapsed under them, injuring several athletes, including Paige Hauschild of Santa Barbara.

Hauschild suffered a laceration on her right arm that required stitches.

Her teammate Kaleigh Gilchrist needed surgery to repair a gash in her leg. Ben Hallock, a standout U.S. men’s player who was born in Santa Barbara, had some minor scrapes on his leg. Two Korean men were reported killed in the incident.

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “Dear Diary: Last night my Aries

friend dragged me to the Karaoke Bowling Alley and Sushi Bar. I was deeply skeptical. The place sounded tacky. But after being there for 20 minutes, I had to admit that I was having a fantastic time. And it just got better and more fun as the night wore on. I’m sure I made a fool of myself when I did my bowling ball imitation, but I can live with that. At one point I was juggling a bowling pin, a rather large piece of sweet potato tempura, and my own shoe while singing Led Zeppelin’s ‘Kashmir’ — and I don’t even know how to juggle. I have to admit that this sequence of events was typical of my adventures with Aries folks. I suppose I should learn to trust that they will lead me to where I don’t know I want to go.”

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): In his poem “Wild Oats,” poet W.S.

Merwin provided a message that’s in perfect alignment with your current astrological needs: “I needed my mistakes in their own order to get me here.” He was not being ironic in saying that; he was not making a lame attempt to excuse his errors; he was not struggling to make himself feel better for the inconvenience caused by his wrong turns. No! He understood that the apparent flubs and miscues he had committed were essential in creating his successful life. I invite you to reinterpret your own past using his perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Even if you’re an ambidextrous, multi-gendered, neurologically diverse, PhoenicianRomanian Gemini with a fetish for pink duct tape and an affinity for ideas that no one has ever thought of, you will eventually find your sweet spot, your power niche, and your dream sanctuary. I promise. Same for the rest of you Geminis, too. It might take a while. But I beg you to have faith that you will eventually tune in to the homing beacon of the mother lode that’s just right for you. PS: Important clues and signs should be arriving soon.

arrive at a crossroads in your relationship with love and sex — as well as your fantasies about love and sex.

In front of you: a hearty cosmic joke that would mutate your expectations and expand your savvy. Behind you: an alluring but perhaps confusing call toward an unknown future. To your left: the prospect of a dreamy adventure that might be only half imaginary. To your right: the possibility of living out a slightly bent fairytale version of romantic catharsis. I’m not here to tell you what you should do, Capricorn. My task is simply to help you identify the options.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): How many handcuffs are there in the world? Millions. Yet there are far fewer different keys than that to open all those handcuffs. In fact, in many countries, there’s a standard universal key that works to open most handcuffs. In this spirit, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I’m designating August as Free Yourself from Your Metaphorical Handcuffs Month. It’s never as complicated or difficult as you might imagine to unlock your metaphorical handcuffs; and for the foreseeable future, it will be even less complicated and difficult than usual for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): People who sneak a gaze into your laboratory might be unnerved by what they see. You know and I know that your daring experiments are in service to the ultimate good, but that may not be obvious to those who understand you incompletely.

So perhaps you should post a sign outside your lab that reads, “Please don’t leap to premature conclusions!

My in-progress projects may seem inexplicable to the uninitiated!” Or maybe you should just close all your curtains and lock the door until your future handiwork is more presentable. PS: There may be allies who can provide useful feedback about your explorations. I call them the wounded healers.

LEGALS ADMINISTER OF ESTATE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: ROBERT WAYNE RICHARDS NO: 19PR00195 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of ROBERT WAYNE RICHARDS; ROBERT W. RICHARDS; “BOB” RICHARDS A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: KATHRYN ANN ATELIAN in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that (name): KATHRYN ANN ATELIAN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

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

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 09/05/2019 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined

in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special notice form is available from the court clerk.
