NEWS of the WEEK PAU L WELLM AN PHOTOS

by TYLER HAYDEN, NICK WELSH, DELANEY SMITH, and JEAN YAMAMURA, with INDEPENDENT STAFF

CONTINGENCY PLAN: Farmers’ Market manager Sam Edelman (left) said the city better make good on its promise to help the association find new digs for its biggest and most important weekly event. Santa Barbara City Police Chief Lori Luhnow (right) observed the roughly 70 speakers during the more than six-hour session.

Cota Lot Cop Shop Okayed Council Votes to Move Farmers’ Market

By Tyler Hayden armers fought long and valiantly Tuesday night against the city’s proposal to displace their Saturday morning market at the Cota Street Commuter Lot with a new police station. The forced relocation of their anchor event, a steady stream of them argued late into the evening, would threaten more than 100 small family businesses and the entire Santa Barbara Farmers’ Market system. They said their survival was inextricably linked to the site, size, and configuration of the Cota lot, their home for the past 35 years. Please let us remain, they implored the council. “Peas Lettuce Romaine,” read their bright-green T-shirts.

But the growers were waging an uphill, and ultimately losing, battle, because for as long as they’ve plied their wares at the Cota site, the City of Santa Barbara has desperately needed a new police station. Study after study, chief after chief, and mayor after mayor have pushed to replace the department’s outdated and seismically unsafe Figueroa Street headquarters. Now armed with Measure C funds and staff reports explaining why the Cota lot makes the most fiscal and logistical sense, the current council said it’s finally time to pull the trigger.

The 4-2 vote was a close one, however, and pained even those members of the council in favor of the project. (Technically, the vote was to begin an intensive environmental review of the Cota site; barring any major unforeseen discoveries or changes of heart, the location will be affirmed by the council once the review is complete in the coming months.)

Councilmember Eric Friedman said choosing between the unstoppable force of a new police station and the immovable object of the farmers’ market was the toughest decision he’s faced on the dais. “I understand the gravity of what’s before us today,” he said.

Over the last six months, Friedman said, he

F

met with individual farmers and the market board, and he took their concerns seriously.

Sam Edelman, the market’s general manager, agreed his conversations with the city were “constructive, lively, and honest,” but he wished they’d started much earlier in the decision-making process.

Friedman also spoke with police representatives and reviewed memos from two and three decades ago that begged for a better, safer, and more modern home for law enforcement. Friedman admitted he’s not comfortable with displacing the Saturday morning market. “But we’re not up here to be comfortable,” he said. “We’re here to make difficult decisions.” No site for the new station will be perfect, Friedman went on—noting the alternatives studied by staff, including Earl Warren Showgrounds, the Louise Lowry Davis Center, the empty Sears space at La Cumbre Plaza, and 16 others — but he’s been convinced Cota is the best option. “There comes a time after 30-plus years when it’s necessary to take action,” he said. Just as necessary, he said, is for the city to work hand in hand with the farmers to find them a suitable alternative.

Friedman wanted a unanimous vote from the council to show support for both the farmers and the police. He didn’t get it.

Councilmember Kristen Sneddon said she was convinced by the farmers’ Tuesday testimonies, delivered with passion and a few tears, that they shouldn’t be made to move.

She was especially concerned, she said, by examples given of markets in Goleta, Ventura, and Los Angeles that had relocated and never recovered their sales.

Moreover, the top alternative site the city is suggesting for the market—De la Guerra

Plaza—has been deemed a “logistical nightmare” by the farmers, Sneddon noted. That’s a serious problem. Edelman affirmed that all 12 potential sites the farmers have looked at would be “major downgrades.”

For Councilmember Meagan Harmon, whose district covers much of downtown, it boiled down to finances. “My responsibility as a public official is to be a careful steward of public taxpayer dollars,” she explained. Station construction alone is expected to cost $70 million-$100 million, and Harmon said she couldn’t justify spending tens of millions more to buy a new piece of private property or remediate one with a lot of obstacles.

“With that said, I feel very strongly that we have a responsibility to work with farmers,” she said. “I want to be there for you.”

NEWS BRIEFS CITY With a $2 million state grant to get service-resistant homeless people indoors, Santa Barbara City Hall reports 23 clients are now receiving intensive case management. Nineteen are frequent users of crisis services, five of them recently housed. The three-year grant funds a first-time collaboration between police, fire, Cottage Health, PATH homeless shelter, the city’s Housing Authority, and five outreach workers from City Net. In addition, five clients received housing vouchers but have yet to secure housing.

Developer Ed St. George notified Santa Barbara’s council last week that he intends to build 41 units of low-income senior rental housing on two properties of Garden Street’s 1500 block. Challenging City Hall not to throw any roadblocks, he vowed he would seek no special modifications or variances on height, setbacks, or parking for Garden Street, though he wanted a density bonus. His threestory project would be “100 percent affordable,” he pledged, for people making 80 percent of the Area Median Income.

COUNTY Xenia Bradford has been named acting city manager for Solvang, making her the fourth to run the city in the past two years. With the election of Mayor Ryan Toussaint and a new council majority, a brisk, relentless broom has been sweeping through City Hall. Gone are the former city attorney, planning director, finance director, and independent auditor. Propelling the turnover are questions of how about $1.2 million a year, earmarked for tourism promotion, was spent. More than $800,000 is reportedly unaccounted for. Bradford previously held down Solvang’s Administrative Services post. She fills a job David Gassaway had occupied for about six months.

STATE

Memos from two and three decades ago have begged for a better, safer, and more modern home for law enforcement.

City staff is scheduled to come back to the council with plans for a subcommittee to help the farmers find a new home. “We will do the utmost to assist them in this move,” promised project manager Brad Hess. Edelman said he hopes that comes in the form of concrete solutions, not just lip service. “It’s not enough for the city to simply say how much they value the market,” he insisted. “Other communities invest in marketing and infrastructure to ensure their markets’ viability.”

Hess estimated it would be two years before construction begins at Cota and the farmers n have to uproot.

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed two bills on 9/9 that will tighten California’s childhood immunization requirements. Parents opposed to vaccinations protested Senate Bills 714 and 276 in Sacramento last week, chanting “protect our children” at legislators after the vote. The bills create stricter state oversight of medical exemptions for vaccines required to attend public and private schools — including investigating any doctor providing more than five medical exemptions in a year and any school with an immunization rate below 95 percent.

A new bill to evaluate the cost of shutting down and cleaning up California’s oil and gas facilities passed through the California Legislature last week and is now on its way to the governor’s desk.

Introduced by State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, SB 551 asks the Department of Conservation to report on numbers, costs, and timelines to abandon or decommission “hazardous wells, idle-deserted wells, deserted facilities, and hazardous facilities remaining.” The bill moves the report’s due date n from October 2020 to April 2021.

based on the number of ID punches, the district’s food service fund lost more than 50 percent of its revenue — or $606,000.

For the first time in over a decade, the deficit had to be supplemented with money from the district’s General Fund.

“The issue is that all three high schools rebased at the same time,” Weiss said. “I’ve already reached out to the [USDA]. Perhaps we need to appeal for a staggered rebasing schedule when multiple schools need it at once. If one school rebased at a time, we’d never have this big of a deficit.”

Steelhead Win Landmark Victory

S

teelhead trout won a significant legal victory this week, along with CalTrout and the Environmental Defense Center (EDC), which have been arguing the case for two decades. But it remains uncertain exactly how much more water must be released downstream from Lake Cachuma to create a habitat wet enough along the Santa Ynez River’s main stem for the federally endangered fish to wage a meaningful comeback. The State Water Resources Control Board voted decisively that current release schedules, in place for 16 years, have made little difference.

The Bureau of Reclamation, the federal agency that built Bradbury Dam, must conduct studies within two years examining the feasibility of getting the remnant steelhead population upstream past the dam and into 48 miles of river in which to spawn. The bureau has opposed doing studies, arguing Congress understood the dam’s impact on fish populations when it authorized construction in 1948 and made

TV Reporter Covered Civil Rights, Vietnam, and Nixon

by Jeff Greenfield f you are going to tell the story of television’s impact on America, you are going to be talking about Sander Vanocur every step of the way.

If you’re measuring how TV brought the story of civil rights into the living rooms of millions — and in those days, there was only one TV and it was in the living room — you will see Vanocur sitting down with Martin Luther King Jr. to talk about the strategy and tactics of the movement.

If you want to look at the medium’s impact on politics, you’ll find Vanocur questioning John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon at the very first televised presidential debate in 1960, and you will see him again a generation later in1992, questioning Clinton, Bush, and Ross Perot.

When political conventions mattered — when they were genuine battles for the nomination instead of scripted infomercials, you’ll see Vanocur roaming the floor in search of news and — most engagingly for me — sitting down at night’s end with John Chancellor, Frank McGee, and Edwin Newman for an informal chat about the day’s doings.

And if you’re looking for the emergence of the “biased left-wing media” argument, Vanocur was at the center; his alleged closeness with the Kennedys made him an adversary, if not enemy, in the eyes of Richard Nixon; so much so that when he was hired by PBS, at the then-eye-opening sum of $85,000 a year, pressure from the right forced the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to scrap their proposed political show before it ever started. (After a few years in the wilderness, he wound up at ABC News).

no provisions to get the steelhead upstream.

Water agencies that rely on Cachuma are less thrilled; some suggest the ruling could reduce water deliveries to customers by as much as 40 percent. Environmental documents indicate the loss between 1,600 and 3,600 acre feet a year. EDC attorneys noted that water releases will mimic nature’s feastor-famine fluctuations and that conservation initiatives could free up 7,000 acre feet, as well. be mitigated by conservation and desalinated water from the City of Santa Barbara. The city argued unsuccessfully that it can’t be expected to make desal available to offset other agencies’ water losses.

The ruling also mandates the bureau conduct studies on mitigating the impact on invasive nonnative fish that eat steelhead fry, like the bass planted in the lake every year by County Parks. Before Lake Cachuma was built, the Santa Ynez River was home to as many as 30,000 steelhead a year. Today, the number hovers around 200.

IT HAPPENS, IT MATTERS Male Sexual Trauma and the Recovery Process Normalizing the Conversation for male survivors of sexual abuse and assault

Sander Vanocur

Most significant, Vanocur — and his colleagues — were dominant figures in network TV news when network TV news was the dominant medium in telling America about what was happening. There were three broadcast networks; no cable; no websites; no social media. Every night, nine out of ten homes with TV sets were tuning into one of the three broadcast networks, in part to become informed, and in part because there was nothing else to watch. When Walter Cronkite famously — if a bit arrogantly — signed off by saying “and that’s the way it is,” there was no other source to argue “no, not necessarily.” It was that very dominance that led Vice President Spiro Agnew to launch his famous attack on network news in 1969 as “a tiny and closed fraternity of privileged men, elected by no one and enjoying a monopoly sanctioned and licensed by government.”

In once sense, Vanocur embodied the outward qualities that made for a TV journalist. He was handsome with piercing eyes, a distinguished “high forehead,” and a rich voice that communicated authority. In a more important sense, he embodied the CONT’D ON PAGE 12 

Sander Vanocur Cont’d from p. 11 qualities that should define a journalist who reached millions. He was deeply informed, with a grasp of history and geopolitics that gave his reports — whether from a convention floor or a world economic summit — genuine authority. In conversation he would meet a questionable idea with a pause and then a response grounded in a history you only wished you knew. There was good reason for his onetime boss, NBC’s Reuven Frank, to call Vanocur “the best political reporter I ever worked with.”

It is a sad coincidence that Vanocur died the same day Cokie Roberts of ABC and NPR died. Together they represent a kind of journalism that almost seems to be of another era: a knowledge of, and respect for, the political process and poetical players — now often criticized as too accommodating — with a willingness to challenge and confront those very players.

If “the passing of an era” is a well-worn cliché, it seems unhappily on point right now. n

Safety Issues Found Aboard the Conception

Remaining Victims Identified

by Tyler Hayden

s of last week, the last missing victim from the Conception dive boat was located, all 34 victims were identified and their families notified, and the vessel itself was successfully brought to the ocean’s surface off Santa Cruz Island. That same day, the Coast Guard issued a safety bulletin concerning lithiumion batteries, power strips, and extension cords.

The final victim was located on September 11 by a team of divers from the San Luis Obispo Sheriff ’s Office and the Department of Fish and Wildlife in a cove just west of Platts Harbor, Sheriff Bill Brown announced, on the north coast of Santa Cruz Island where the Conception burned to the waterline on September 2. “It is a huge relief,” Brown said. “No one has been left behind.”

The Conception was raised to the ocean surface on the 12th and was then taken by barge to a secure location for investigation. Brown did not disclose the location, but press reports place it in Port Hueneme.

ALL CREW ASLEEP

taking the injured to the Grape Escape anchored nearby, “two crewmembers returned to the Conception to search for survivors around the burning hull,” while the captain continued to radio a Mayday. Captain Jerry Boylan was not available for comment.

The final report, which will contain the fire’s cause, NTSB spokesperson Jennifer Homendy promised, is due in 12 to 18 months.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY BULLETIN

Linking newly issued Coast Guard warnings to the Conception disaster, a safety bulletin warned ships carrying passengers of a potential fire hazard in “unsupervised charging of lithium-ion batteries and extensive use of power strips and extension cords.” Though investigators remain silent on fire ignition, speculation has been rife on the underwater photographic excursions planned for that Labor Day weekend by dive operator Worldwide Diving Adventures, and on the probable quantity of lithium-ion batteries needing to be recharged. Commercial aircraft rules restrict loose lithium-ion batteries carried as spares, requiring passengers to bring them into the airplane cabin and banning them from checked luggage.

COU RTESY

All six crew members of the Conception were asleep when the dive boat caught fire in the predawn hours of September 2, according to a preliminary report released on September 12 by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The finding was a major revelation in the worst maritime disaster in modern California history. It confirms earlier reports that the Conception crew likely violated federal safety regulations that require a roving “night watchman” to remain awake and on patrol.

The NTSB report offered the first account of the crew’s statements: “[A]t the time of the fire, five crewmembers were asleep in berths behind the wheelhouse, and one

TIGHT QUARTERS: Touring a Truth Aquatics boat with Coast Guard Capt. Jason Neubauer, NTSB’s Jennifer Homendy commented on the difficulty of accessing the escape hatch.

crewmember was asleep in the bunkroom.” A crewmember was “awakened by a noise,” the report says, and got up to investigate. “He saw a fire at the aft end of the sun deck, rising up from the salon compartment below. …

As crewmembers awoke, the captain radioed a distress message to the Coast Guard.”

Though the crew tried to get to the salon and the passengers below, the ladder down was on fire. They jumped to the main deck, and one crew member broke his leg. They tried to open a galley window but were overwhelmed by flames and thick smoke. They jumped overboard, and “[t]wo crewmembers and the captain swam to the stern, reboarded the vessel, and opened the hatch to the engine room, and saw no fire.” The salon doors were blocked by fire, “so they launched a small skiff and picked up the remaining two crewmembers in the water.” After

THE ESCAPE HATCH

A safety video produced for Truth Aquatics, the Santa Barbara charter company that owned and operated the doomed dive boat, reveals the close quarters of the vessel’s bunkroom and the awkward position of its narrow escape hatch. Santa Barbara photographer Ralph Clevenger created the video, finishing the day before the Conception disaster.

“This video is designed to run as a loop on the large TV in the dining area during the passenger boarding time before the boat leaves the harbor,” Clevenger said in an email. “Once the boat arrives at its destination and is anchored up the captain then gives an extensive safety briefing to all the passengers in person.”

During a tour of another Truth Aquatics boat whose layout is nearly identical to the Conception, Jennifer Homendy of the NTSB said she was “taken aback” by the size and location of the emergency hatch. She noted how someone trying to escape the bunkroom would have to climb onto a third-tier bed, push open a wooden door, and then heave themselves into the galley.

Though many have said the Conception’s captain, Jerry Boylan, is among the most experienced and trusted commercial captains in the Channel, some former passengers stated they were never told about the boat’s escape hatch and that they never received a full safety briefing. “I have no idea how we would have gotten out of that room in an emergency,” Josiah Wilcox told the Los Angeles Times. n

angry poodle barbecue

Smooched by the Pooch

PEDAL TO METAL: I totally get America’s love affair with the automobile. I’m hardly

immune. There’s nothing more ridiculously wonderful than burning carbon down Highway 101 — my elbow akimbo out the window, the vast awesomeness of the Pacific Ocean beckoning to the right.

I mention this in connection with the president’s declaration of war this week on California’s special right to set its own air quality standards. When the Trump administration announced its intention early on to roll back national mileage requirements from 51 miles per gallon to 34, California made it clear it would not go gentle into the White House’s long, dark night. That’s because for 49 years, the federal government has recognized California’s legal right to set stricter standards than those imposed by the federal Clean Air Act, enacted in 1970.

By the 1960s, California was shrouded in a thick blanket of lung-crushing smog.

In 1966, the state — led by then-Governor Ronald Reagan — found itself forced to jump into the fray, creating a new regulatory bureaucracy empowered to clean up the air.

Not only did California get there first, it turned out it got there better. It’s been so effective that by 1975, the feds passed followup legislation allowing 13 other states the same “waiver” it granted California.

When four major automobile manufac-

turers — Ford, VW, Honda, and BMW — announced this month that they intended to comply with California’s tougher standards — 50 miles a gallon, rather than Trump’s flaccid 34 — the president quickly retaliated. This week, the president’s EPA director announced he is revoking California’s special legal waiver to go its own way. California, predictably, has vowed to fight Trump in the courts for decades to come, if need be.

For Santa Barbara County, the timing could not be more striking. This month — for the first time in more than 40 years — the county’s Air Pollution Control District (APCD) recorded not one single federal ozone violation when it comes to air quality. To put that in context, we were averaging more than 100 a month in the 1990s. If we continue at our current pace, Santa Barbara County is poised to meet the state’s even stricter air quality standards for ozone next year. Coincidentally, that will be the 50th anniversary of the APCD. If and when this happens, Santa Barbara will be just the 14th of California’s 58 counties to attain this achievement. This has happened at the same time the county’s population increased by at least 50,000 people and as the number of vehicle miles driven on county roads per day has increased by 100 percent.

Ozone is created when sunlight and heat mix with volatile organic compounds

(VOCs) — like gasoline fumes and paint solvents — and oxides of nitrogen, better known as NOx, which are produced by the combustion of fuels. Ozone, when high in the sky, blocks solar radiation that causes skin cancer. When low to the ground, however, it chemically immobilizes the human lung’s capacity to repair itself and to absorb oxygen. In other words, it’s not a hypothetical threat.

The county’s new ozone numbers happened because of a million small changes — some bitterly resisted by industry as “economically infeasible .” Some of it happened because of induced changes as well, like the clunker buyback program or getting shipping tankers to slow down as they sail through the channel. Back in the 1980s, Santa Barbara County insisted on regulating the air pollution produced by offshore oil platforms. At the time, Exxon famously told the county “to stick it in its ear,” arguing the county lacked jurisdictional authority to regulate federal waters.

Legally, it was a compelling argument.

In one of the county government’s most heroic hours, the board of supervisors and air pollution control wonks responded with a full court lobbying press. No arm was left untwisted. What happened in federal waters, they argued, didn’t stay in federal waters. Their argument won.

At the risk of stating the obvious and the predictable, there is climate change

to think of. In this context, Trump’s proposed retreat on fuel standards qualifies as yet another sprint in precisely the wrong direction. Again, the implications are anything but theoretical. In less than ten years, for example, the City of Santa Barbara’s sewage treatment facility will begin to feel the impact of sea-level rise — triggered by climate change — as sea water increasingly, if occasionally, chokes the system as it seeps into manholes and sewer mains that run along the waterfront. By 2060, our sewage treatment plant will find itself increasingly challenged by higher high tides; when there are storm events, these will be higher still.

By the turn of the century — if nothing is done — we can just kiss it goodbye. Actually, the problem will be that we can’t. The “it” in this equation refers to the 2.1 billion gallons of raw sewage we now treat annually. That’s six million gallons a day.

It doesn’t get more basic than that.

Right now, City Hall spends $22 million a year making sure that stuff goes away. We have 58 people on the job. That’s one for every 1,600 residents.

I have no idea how much it will cost to armor the treatment plant. Or figure out a strategy of managed retreat. Right now, nobody else does either. They are, I am assured, working on it.

I love driving down the coast and smiling at the ocean. I just want it to smile back.

Vape Scape

I

’ve been vaping since the early days, when they were called e-cigs. I’m glad they changed the name, because there’s a big difference between smoking cigarettes and vaping. I should mention that my usage is above moderate level. I have my device on me from when I awake until I go to sleep.

I’m not saying it’s healthy, but it’s not as unhealthy as the media is painting it to be. Don’t forget, Big Tobacco is sponsoring and encouraging anti-vaping campaigns. Here’s an alternative that has no litter of butts, less issues with secondhand smoke, etc. This alternative has successfully helped smokers quit. For those of us who enjoy nicotine, this has to be one of the healthier options.

The problems the media loves to bring up has to do with education — people buying cheap, unregulated liquid and batteries. I go through 120ml of e-liquid per week, and I’ve never experienced any of the health issues in the media.

egarding the school administrators’ apparently giddy field trip to one of Graham Farrar’s marijuana cultivation sites and to the photo he took of them: In reply to the firestorm that erupted in response to the field trip and the photo, Farrar opined that both would teach kids to incorporate marijuana safely and responsibly into our society.

There is no defense to his logic. I trust it was his wallet speaking, not his brain nor his public relations tutors. Expanding upon that logic, the remedy to unsafe and irresponsible alcohol use would be photos published of administrators and teachers frolicking in a Jim Beam distillery.

I am not opposed to marijuana legalization.

I am strongly opposed to the insane intensity of marijuana operations in the Carpinteria Valley.

...

—Rob Salomon, Carpinteria

In response to the Angry Poodle Barbecue column that squinted at the cannabis furor, Facebook readers replied: Michael Lazaro Sorry, I disagree 100 percent with everything in this article. Maybe a less angry Poodle would do better going forward. I’ve lived in Carpinteria for over 30 years. Growers are considerate and conscientious, and we need the funding for schools. • Mark Methmann Them silly hats

‘n’ coats are what’s helping to keep pests outside the grow area and pesticides out of our creeks and watersheds. Carp is growing flowers that for once are not tossed in the trash when you’re done staring at them! Now it’s chemical-free, the cleanest crop and operations. I just wish we could focus on the big picture for once. • Tom Towle Funny, but if they were visiting a local brewery and were given their logo hats to wear, people would not blink an eye.

Status Quo Challenger

R

egarding “Fair Education vs. Just Communities Boils Over at School Board,” ethnic studies programs are proven to be a positive for all students. Multiple studies show that when an ethnic studies curriculum is added to a school campus, GPA rises, college matriculation goes up, civic involvement increases, tardies and absences go down, suspensions and expulsions decrease, and the dropout rate diminishes. The only “negative” is that ethnic studies and similar educational programs challenge the status quo of gender, race, and class relations, which conservatives, by definition, want to maintain.

Conservative right-wing attacks — we assume Fair are right-wingers because members normally show up to school board meetings wearing Trump regalia — on ethnic studies and other such programs are based in a strategy of suppressing any institutional development capable of supporting a critique of racism’s role in winning political consent for an emerging economic order that harms the interests of the vast majority of us. However, these attacks also prove the importance of ethnic studies. Or, as a Tuskegee Airman once told us, “You only catch flak when you’re right on target.”

Alma Hecht

9/20/1955 – 5/23/2019

On May 23, 2019, Alma Hecht, our beautiful and beloved sister, friend, auntie, daughter, and artist made what she called her "leap to the light". Her mind still free and strong, she left her body, which had so betrayed her for the last 12 years. Her extremely rare genetic disease Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease — APBD- was cruel.

Alma, who had climbed mountains, explored jungles, hiked, swam, marched in protests, and traveled the world on her feet, increasingly lost all mobility. She, who loved to laugh, to joke, to make up words, nicknames, puns and witticisms, to spar, to explain, to engage as much in political discussions as in easy going conversation, lost her ability to speak. She, who loved to cook and entertain, could no longer swallow without choking. She, who lived alone with her doting dog Moki in a home filled with art and color, managing her own business designing sustainable gardens, pruning trees, creating beauty, became totally dependent on 24/7 caregivers.

Daughter of an Academy Award-winning movie producer and a talented and creative mother with an eye for design, Alma spent her childhood in New York City and Los Angeles. She attended a Waldorf school, graduated Fairhaven College in Bellingham, WA, and received a master's degree from the Conway School of Landscape Design in Easthampton Massachusetts.

After working in the publishing world at Santa Barbara's Ross-Erikson, Alma moved to San Francisco in the early 1990s. First working in the restaurant and food business Alma followed her passion and formed her own company, Second Nature Design, to work with clients throughout the Bay Area designing charming, personalized, imaginative gardens.

She was an early believer and influencer in advancing sustainable landscape design.

THE INDEPENDENT

Alma rarely met a water hogging yard she did not want to remove and replace with native, drought tolerant, microclimate appropriate plants, shrubs and trees.

She became a Certified Arborist, volunteered with Friends of the Urban Forest and other community groups, wrote articles, gave talks, and was acknowledged in several books and featured in profiles in newspapers and magazines.

As Alma began feeling increasing weakness, fatigue, and loss of balance she had difficulty getting an accurate diagnosis. She underwent much continuing often painful testing until learning she had APBD, a disease without any known cure. Alma joined a clinical trial in Texas, exercised and swam, practiced yoga, hired trainers, and fought against the erosion of her life. As the disease kept progressing Alma experienced multiple bouts of hypothermia, infections, the inability to eat without choking, the loss of her ability to speak and swallow, many hospitalizations and finally hospice care.

In what turned out to be her last year, she moved back in June of 2018 to Santa Barbara to be closer to her brothers and settled in the Maravilla senior living community.As the disease gathered speed and Alma's condition became increasingly precarious, she faced each new struggle with grace and determination, always maintaining her lifelong wit and humor.

"I'm fine with letting go," she wrote in her blog (https:// betterbranches.tumblr.com) in December 2018, "but I'm still curious—there are more paintings to make, ideas to explore, family moments to share, friends to see, plants to prune, books to read and more."Alma remained engaged. She was weak but went to art class working with pastels for the first time.

Always an extrovert, she met new people. Her love of gardening never lessened as she tended a planter box on the grounds and created a delightful patio garden. She loved the flowering trees outside her window.

"I still have the freedom of my mind, heart and spirit.

How blessed I am." Her courage was inspiring. She will be missed by the many who cherished her.

Alma was preceded in her leap to the light by her father Harold Hecht, her step father

SEPTEMBER 19, 2019

Franklin Desser and her mother Gloria Buzzell Desser and is survived by her two brothers, Steven Hecht and Duffy Hecht, her step mother Martine Milner, and half siblings Harold Hecht, Adam Hecht and Rebecca DonVito, her partner of many years Jocelyn Cohen and her many loving friends in Santa Barbara, the Bay Area and around the world.

Bettie Lennon

3/21/1923 – 8/29/2019

Bettie Lennon was born Elizabeth Jane Sheridan at Cottage Hospital on March 21, 1923. Bettie came from a long line of old Santa Barbara and Ventura County families. Her mother was Mary Elizabeth (Maisie) Lamb Sheridan of Santa Barbara and her father was J. Neill Sheridan of Ventura. Bettie left this world surrounded by family on August 29, 2019.

Bettie lived in Santa Barbara all her life in a 6 block radius close to the Santa Barbara Mission. She went to Santa Barbara High School, as did her mother and grandmother, Mary (Mae) Eells Lamb. Bettie attended Santa Barbara State College until WWII, when she lost her pilot fiancée in the war. She then worked as a "Rosie" riveter and driller at Lockheed Vega building the main wings for P38 Lightning and PBY planes. She often regaled her family with her stories of helping Pearl Chase as junior hostess at weekly Officer Tea Dances at the Coral Casino for the officers stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) in Goleta. These young pilots were leaving for the Pacific Theater and rarely returned alive. She especially remembered the Black Sheep Squadron as a group of young men who attended these dances.

Following the war, Bettie worked as a check signature

verifier at First National Bank.

Women were not allowed to be tellers at that time, so the women worked behind the scenes. It was there she met a new teller named Patrick Lennon, who was freshly returned from the war. After a 6 month romance, Bettie and Pat were married at the Santa Barbara Mission in June, 1948. Pat went to work for the Sheriff 's Office and Bettie was a happy homemaker. She raised their four children: Patrick Jr (Christina), Mary (Brad Shepard), Susanne (David Newswanger), and Lisa (David Irwin).

Bettie was left raising her children alone when Pat died after an extended illness in 1965. She then took a job at the County Assessor's Office, where she worked for 25 years.

After retiring in 1991, she took care of her aging mother until her death at 103 in 1998. Bettie continued meeting with her friends, the Assessor's retirement group, until a few months ago. She was blessed to live in the same house since 1950 in a wonderful extended family home with Lisa and Dave and their girls until the day of her passing.

Bettie was preceded in death by her husband, Pat, and by her beloved sister Mary Virginia Knowles (Tada), as well as her parents. She is survived by her four children and her grandchildren: Erin Lennon (Sophia), Sheridan and Katie Irwin, Ben and Madison Shepard, Sarah, Paul, and Carolyn Newswanger, and two step grandsons, Christopher and Frank (Becca) Noriega and great granddaughter Marisabel. Bettie lives on in the hearts of her family, and will always be remembered for her sunny personality and her open heart. She was loved by the neighborhood children, and enjoyed by everyone she met.

A Celebration of Life is planned on October 19, 2019 at 1 to 4 pm at the Masonic Center, 16 E Carrillo Street in Santa Barbara. Memorial donations made be in Bettie's name to Visiting Nurse and Hospice of SB.

Roger Conant Millikan 1/27/1931 – 9/9/2019

Roger Conant Millikan was born to Robert Franklin Millikan and Laura Grosvenor Millikan in Tiffin, OH. He was the third of 4 boys to be born into the family. The family moved to Ashland, KY and there the four boys grew to adulthood.

Roger attended Oberlin College in Ohio. While playing bridge at Oberlin he met his future bride, Mary Clark Stickell. After graduating he attended graduate school at UC Berkeley and earned his Ph.D in Chemistry.

He and Mary Clark married in her hometown of Sewickley, PA. Roger’s first job was as a research chemist for General Electric Co. in Schenectady, NY. Their family grew to include five children. After 10 years Roger was ready for a change, and he accepted the position of Professor of Chemistry at UC Santa Barbara. The family made the move in 1967.

Living by the ocean afforded Roger the opportunity to sail his Hobie Cat(amaran) and learn windsurfing when that came into vogue. When he turned 60, he asked for and was given a pair of roller blades and enjoyed using them.

After retiring from UCSB Roger took up bird photography, buying larger and larger lenses as they were developed.

He became a docent at the Cachuma Lake Nature Center and self published a book: Birds of Cachuma Lake. Later, he collaborated with Adam Lewis to publish his second book: Birds of Lake Los Carneros.

Roger was predeceased by his wife Mary in 2008 and by his brother last week. He is survived by his five children: Ross (Jess) of San Mateo, Polly (Cary) Matsuoka of Santa Barbara, Sandra (Dwayne) Eacret of Goleta, Rev. Jane (Scott) of Fargo, ND, and Clark Millikan of Santa Clara. Additionally he has seven grandchildren: Daniel, Andrew, Stephen, Valerie, Darrell, Noah, and Aaron. He is also survived by two brothers: David Millikan of Florida and Joel Millikan of North Carolina.

A service for Roger will be held at 11am on Saturday, September 14, at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 380 N. Fairview Avenue in Goleta.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Roger’s name may be given to the Neal Taylor Nature Center at Lake Cachuma.

Arrangements entrusted to Pueblo Del Rey Funeral Services.

obituaries David Belding 1945 – 2019

David Belding died by his own hand in Santa Barbara on Sunday, Sept 8. He had just celebrated his 74th birthday.

He had lived and worked in Santa Barbara for the past 25 years. He had recently become homeless, was in a car accident, and had to relinquish his cat.

David was the son of teachers, and his family lived in Seattle, Arizona, Brazil, the Virgin Islands and Hawaii.

David was drafted into the US Army in 1965 and served as an MP in Germany. He attended Officer Candidate School, went to Panama Jungle School and as a Second Lieutenant in the 101st Airborne, was sent to Vietnam in 1967.

He served two tours, was highly decorated, and reached the rank of Captain.

After his tours, David hitchhiked around the world, became active in Veterans for Peace, and was eventually diagnosed with PTSD. He was in counseling for many years and pursued BA and MA degrees in Psychology.

He worked as a counselor for anger management, with the Ca. EDD office in Santa Barbara and then for the Veterans Center as a PTSD counselor.

His particular focus was with the homeless population.

During his post war recovery David lived on the Big Island of Hawaii with his parents and learned gardening and landscaping. Upon retirement in Santa Barbara he became an avid gardener and was the grounds manager at his apartment complex. He specialized in cherry tomatoes and rare palms.

David had a wonderful and wacky sense of humor, could imitate accents and sounds, and bemoaned friends and family not ready with a new joke. He did not tolerate fools gladly and was often prickly and critical and couldn’t tolerate cruelty or injustice. He never recovered from the moral injury he suffered in Vietnam. He remained physically fit his whole life and was a gifted photographer. In his younger years he played guitar and always had a harmonica in his pocket.

David is survived by his sister Barbara of Santa Fe, New Mexico, his niece Thea Khama of Gaborone, Botswana and his beloved cat Kea. Donations may be made to any non-profit veterans assistance group.

There will be no memorial service.

nside the Boys & Girls Club on Canon Perdido is a space that feels like a sanctuary — a musical sanctuary. It’s the first of the studios created by Notes for Notes (N4N), a now widely renowned national music program for young people that started right here in Santa Barbara.

“The space sets the tone,” said Rod Hare, one of the three founders of N4N. “Your music is taken seriously; your freedom of expression is taken seriously. You are treated as a musician. … So whatever’s going on in your life out there, in here, you’re a musician.”

The three rooms are set up as a small recording studio.

In the gigging area, teens can experiment on myriad instruments — guitars, drums, keyboards. In the engineering room, there is a multitrack mixing board, where they produce the songs they’ve recorded in the sound booth.

The program, launched in 2007, began as a dream of Phil Gilley, who from a young age believed music was a vital means of human expression. This notion really hit home when, in his early twenties, he moved to Santa Barbara and began volunteering as a Big Brother. Gilley was looking for a way to connect with his young charge and immediately thought about teaching him guitar. The boy, not surprisingly for a youth, wanted to play the drums instead. But Gilley didn’t own a drum set or have access to one, nor could he afford lessons. So the two of them would hang out at Instrumental Music on upper State, banging on the store’s demonstration drum kit. Why, Gilley wondered, wasn’t there a space where kids could create music and not have to pay for lessons or buy instruments? This idea would soon come to fruition in a series of providential coincidences, but the seed for the dream was planted years ago.

When Phil Gilley was growing up in Vermont, he wanted to play an instrument but struggled to learn how to read sheet music. His 3rd-grade teacher, Ms. Brown, told him, “If you can’t read, you can’t play.” So Gilley gave up until high school, when his mother bought him a guitar and he discovered tablature, a simplified method that allowed him, for the first time, to begin to play music.

The confidence he gained from learning the guitar stayed with Gilley. Eventually, he became convinced that creating music was the way to reach young people who, for whatever reasons, felt marginalized and unheard. At first, he thought about building a mobile music studio that could go to different schools, offering youth a place to play with instruments. But that would take money, and at the time he was working as a valet at Lucky’s restaurant in Montecito.

The Lucky’s job turned out to be fortuitous, because at the same time, Natalie Noone was working there as a

Rod Hare (left) asked Phil Gilley (right) over lunch.

“In hindsight, it was just absurdly audacious,” said Hare. “This was literally the second time we’d met.”

Gilley agreed on the spot and the rest is Notes for Notes history.

COVER STORY

N4N cofounder Natalie Noone met Phil Gilley while they both worked at Lucky’s in Montecito. Late one night, Gilley told Noone his idea and she was all in. “It revealed this need that I completely connected with,” she said.

A MEETING OF MINDS

waitress. Raised in Santa Barbara, Noone, the only child of English singer/songwriter Peter Noone and his wife, Mireille Noone, was captivated by Phil’s vision. “Late at night when we were closing up shop, Phil said to me, ‘Hey, you’re a musician. Your dad’s a Rod Hare, a businessman who was born and raised in Santa Barbara, had also been a Big Brother and had musician. I have this idea,’ ” Noone recalled.

Gilley told Noone that he believed music opened long thought that music could be the bridge that would doorways to communication and explained how it help the young people he had met in that program. allowed him to bond with his Little Brother. When he In 2006, Hare told Paul Dore, the Santa Barbara started describing the mobile music studio scheme, “it Bowl’s board president, about his idea to create a Big revealed this need that I completely connected with,” Brother/Big Sister–like program but with music at the said Noone. “We realized if you have a youth that center.

more time at the studio and to cut some hours from his Lucky’s job.

Another great help were Noone’s deep ties to Santa Barbara’s music scene. She spearheaded a benefit concert at SOhO, in which she convinced her dad, Peter Noone, Herman’s Hermits’ former frontman, to perform. He in turn got Jeff Bridges, who had just played a singer/ songwriter in the film Crazy Heart, to join him onstage.

Natalie Noone has never forgotten these early advocates — Bridges, Martin Gore from Depeche Mode, the Santa Barbara Bowl, and others — whose contributions were critical to the program’s early success.

“They really stuck their necks out for us in the beginning, sort of legitimized us and made people pay half a second of attention to us.”

Things moved quickly then for N4N. At the end of 2007, Hare, Gilley, and Noone were introduced to Carolyn Brown, who was running the Boys & Girls Club at that time. “‘I’ve got this room here, and we’re not doing anything with it,’ ” Hare recalled her saying. They accepted the offer and tried to make the space look as cool as possible.

By the end of ’08, the Eastside studio was up and running and had even had its first celebrity guest musician, multiplatinum recording artist Robin Thicke. Inviting up-and-coming and established artists —such as Jack Johnson, Glen Phillips, Steve Miller, and Alan Parsons, to name just a few — to visit Notes for Notes’ studios and interact with the youth is a practice the program continues to this day.

Gilley believes that every donation — time or money — is what he describes as “creating more notes for youth.” It also becomes a gift to the people of the music community, who are using their “notes” to help the next generation of musicians make their own “notes.” The more artists who have gotten involved have raised the Notes for Notes profile and allowed them to build relationships that help the organization to grow.

One of their biggest challenges in the early days was how to handle the gang divisions plaguing Santa Barbara at the time. Kids who lived on the Westside didn’t feel safe going to the Eastside studio. Although N4N still had the small space in the West Victoria Street teen center, it did not offer a well-equipped studio like the one across town. Gilley and the team realized they needed to find the money to open a similar high-quality studio at the Westside Boys & Girls Club. It took a number of years, but in spring 2011, the new studio was opened.

Notes for Notes’ marriage with the Boys & Girls Club would prove to be a match made in heaven. In addition to giving the fledgling nonprofit a permanent space, the Boys & Girls Club program provided an already existing structured environment that young people respected.

The association has also allowed N4N to expand its reach over the last 12 years to other cities, including New York City, Detroit, Los Angeles, Austin, Denver, St. Paul, New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, Cleveland, Washington D.C., Chicago, and San Francisco.

Nashville was the first place N4N opened a studio outside of Santa Barbara. Noone, who moved there for college, was already plugged in to the Nashville music scene, so Gilley and Hare flew there “to plant their flag.”

Things really took off when they met with Hot Topic, the Los Angeles–based clothing store specializing in rock-and-roll T-shirts. “I call them our godfather,” said Gilley. The company had an outreach foundation that gave N4N a grant to build the Westside Santa Barbara

studio, and it later contributed $75,000 to open two studios in Nashville.

In the country-and-western music capital, N4N forged important relationships with Gibson Brands and, eventually, the Country Music Association, both of which continue to be major backers of the program. Gibson now supplies guitars for all the N4N studios, and CMA has already funded 13 N4N studios in cities across the United States. Today, Gilley considers Nashville the unofficial hub of Notes for Notes.

in the studio setting helped young people develop critical social and performance skills, and perhaps more important, a greater sense of self-confidence and identity.

For Gilley, the study was a wonderful endorsement of the work he and his colleagues have been doing for the past decade.

To have an analysis from an independent party, conducted over a number of years, that Gilley felt got to the core of their mission, was a level of scientific validation the program had never had before. “It’s inspiring,” he said. “It really taps into the mental health of children. Yes, it’s music education.

Yes, it’s access to instruments and all these tools. But most important, it’s using music as a way to connect with other people.”

The study also offers a chance to quantitatively demonstrate success to corporations and foundations, groups that N4N needs to financially sustain its national programs. “Assigning scientific numbers and data to emotional growth through the arts is very challenging,” said Gilley. “Hopefully this report helps people open their eyes to a different way of measuring success other than just graduation rates and grades.”

‘[N4N] really taps into the

mental health of children. …

[I]t’s using music as a way to connect with other people.

– Phil Gilley

SMART MOVES

Twelve years in and N4N has not just lasted, it is thriving. Why? “I think we are on the cutting edge of something very exciting,” Gilley said. A recent study published by the Journal of Community Psychology seems to support his belief. UCSB PhD candidate Joshua Sheltzer interviewed N4N staff and alums and found that the continued exposure to music

Celebrating 20 Years

Kenny Loggins, through his work with the Good Tidings Foundation, was able to fund much-needed renovations for the two Santa Barbara studios, which had not been updated for nearly a decade. The facelift included new instruments and equipment, which brought them up to the same level as the more recent studios built in other cities.

Though the original three founders all now live elsewhere — Noone and Hare split their time between Nashville and Santa Barbara, and Gilley is based out of Detroit —the Santa Barbara staff has embraced the organization’s mission: Kris Ehrman is the metro manager, David Rojas runs the Eastside, and Alex Perez heads up the Westside.

Ehrman, who has worked at N4N for more than eight years, is a musician himself. By reaching out to other groups in the area such as the Blues Society, he has been able to connect Notes for Notes with Santa

Barbara’s greater musical community, one of the core principles of the program.

On the Eastside, Rojas, who plays in the Rent Party Blues band with Ehrman, serves as its program director. He’s developed a project, World Music, that helps the kids learn about the origins of different genres. Through this, he has been able to bring into the studio to talk to the teens a number of professional musicians who have a wide range of styles.

Rojas and Ehrman also crafted a band of student musicians called the Jazz Villains.

Gilley said it’s one of the best bands ever to come out of a Notes for Notes studio.

On Tuesday, September 24, the Jazz Villains are opening for Steve Miller, who is playing a Notes for Notes benefit concert at the Lobero. The Jazz Villains have been together long enough that several members have rotated out. Some were accepted to Massachusetts’s Berklee College of Music, and one is at Santa Barbara City College and will join the Villains at the concert.

Introducing the young people at Notes for Notes to artists of all different levels is a critical part of the program, said Gilley.

“It shows them what the payoff can be, and what the struggles can be, and what the struggles still are if you want to make it. It’s the wisdom they can pass down as artists.”

Today, Gilley is careful that, in all its successes and expansions, Notes for Notes does not lose its way. “I see my greatest responsibility as making sure the choices we are making today do not erode what is at the core of our organization,” he said. “I sometimes question how we find such talented people who want to volunteer and work in the studios. But I like to think that, in a small way, it’s because n we know what a gift music is.”

I

Was My Muse

was born with a book in my hand, and for all I know, it was the only book on the South Side of Chicago. No one read, not even my parents, who belonged to a book club. Oh, they had a few old books around, but nothing a child would want to bother with.

There were no books in my schoolroom, but the school had a “library,” where you weren’t even allowed to enter, much less actually borrow a book. Once a year, my class was taken down to the huge, high-ceilinged room for a lecture by the enormous librarian. Do you think she regaled us with warm recollections of stories by the great authors?

No. She lectured us about the Dewey decimal system.

Meanwhile, forbidden books tauntingly lined the shelves, guarded by glass cabinets. There was a pubBarney Brantingham lic library, however, about three miles away, much too far for me to get to on my own. When I was a child, our family had no car, and when my parents finally acquired one, there was no thought of wasting gas to take me to the library and wait around while I wandered the aisles of treasures.

Then I fell in love. Just down the alley, on the second floor of an apartment building, lived a dark-haired beauty named Jane Hamilton. Jane was too old for me, about 17 at the time. Her boyfriend would come to pick her up in a shiny convertible.

Jane was my queen, but not for the reason you might imagine. She owned a collection of Nancy Drew mysteries, which featured a 16-year-old who had adventures. The author, guided by a publisher, was a 25-year-old Iowan named Mildred Wirt Benson. She hit the bookstores in 1930 with such titles as The Secret of the Old Clock, the Hidden Staircase, and The Bungalow Mystery. All were written under the name Carolyn Keene.

Although Nancy was aimed at girl readers, I gobbled up Jane’s library of the young sleuth, realizing that the “adventures” were pretty softcore. But as a kid, it was enough for me. Enough, that is, until the Sunday newspapers arrived with real-life crime splashed across the pages.

We eventually moved, and I left Jane Hamilton and her books behind. I wish I could see her one more time and thank her for the hours of happiness she gave me.

FUN IN THE SUN: Pools are a necessary retreat from the Palm Springs heat.

Palm Springs Family Getaway W

ell-known for a certain springtime music festival, the Coachella Valley is home to nearly a dozen desert cities. Palm Springs, located in the afternoon shadows of towering Mount San Jacinto, has long been the most popular draw. While the city itself features standout lodging, dining, and architecture, its surrounding environs are also well worth deeper exploration, even when midsummer temps surge into the triple digits.

A week before my family and I arrived in Palm Springs for a midweek three-nighter, a record-breaking high of 121 degrees was still making the conversational rounds throughout the bustling downtown area. We were welcomed by a comparatively feeble 111 degrees, with forecasts of 115 for the days to come.

That’s hot. But it’s not out-of-hand hot. You just need to do what we did — concentrate outdoor activities to early mornings and post-twilight, and in between, partake in pool time, shade, air-conditioning, and plenty of hydration.

Stay

After the 200-mile drive from Santa Barbara, we dumped our duffels in spacious third-floor adjoining suites at Palm Mountain Resort & Spa (palmmountainresort.com). Like most Palm Springs lodging, Palm Mountain’s centerpiece is a big pool surrounded by chaise longues and sunshades. The resort also offers plenty of relaxing spa services and has partnered with nearby Palm Springs Fitness Center (palmsprings fitnesscenter.com). Bonus: The resort is a block from the intersection of Palm Canyon Drive and Tahquitz Canyon Way, where most visitors convene for walks to downtown food, drink, and shopping.

Eat

Locally famous (and nationally praised) Las Casuelas Terraza (lascasuelas.com) is filled with terra-cotta hallways revealing vintage portraiture, hidden booths, and, away from the quiet dining areas, a palapa bar with live music and dancing. Recipes date back to the family matriarch cooking for Arizona copper miners; her passed-along standards, such as enchiladas and carnitas, taste like cherished family memories.

For more modern decor and an expanded take on hormone-free beef, free-range chicken, wild seafood, and almondwood-fried pizzas, visit Kaiser Grille Palm Springs (kaisergrille.com). The place is big on organic proteins and making its own sauces, dressings, and

THEIR OWN WORDS: Christina and Nathanael Matanick have published a book of personal stories from foster children.

desserts. My daughter’s seared ahi came with wasabiwhipped potatoes. Plus, there are vanilla-bean date shakes for dessert.

Across the street is Lulu California Bistro (lulu palmsprings.com), a two-story establishment with a misted patio out front. We sat down to three flat-rate menus ($20, $30, and $40), with the number of courses increasing with price and main-course specialties — from chicken and pasta to steaks and chops — sized appropriately. The kids dug the horseshoe booths and cotton candy for dessert.

Do

Family fun indoors during the heat of the day can be booked at Escape Room Palm Springs (escapeps .com), which offers six different challenges. We opted to spend an hour to find a spell book to lift a curse on Merlin’s Magic School. The countdown clock urged us to work together, cracking clues along the way, with plenty of big smiles from our captivated kids.

Outdoors, semi-early risers can climb aboard with Desert Adventures Red Jeep Tours & Events (redjeep.com) to visit the San Andreas Fault or an Agua Caliente palm oasis, among other outings. Our guide, Morgan Levine, showed us the “best unmolested mid-century architecture in the world.”

Another morning spin took us about 20 minutes outside town to The Living Desert Zoo & Gardens (livingdesert.org). Banish all preconceptions of a sad, sketchy animal prison on the hot, cracked earth — this meticulously cared for nonprofit facility was a trip highlight, with loping Mexican wolves, mature cactus gardens, an endangered pupfish habitat, and a three-acre African savannah overlook with giraffes and ostriches, among other exotic megafauna.

Above it all stands San Jacinto, the northernmost peak of a peninsular range stretching 1,000 miles to Cabo San Lucas. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway (pstramway.com) runs up and down the steep mountainside between the heat-blasted base of the mountain and a lodge at 8,000 feet, where the temperature is 30 degrees cooler and the views stretch from the San Gorgonio Wilderness to the Salton Sea. There are also a restaurant, bar, natural history museum, and easy trails through a pine forest filled with crisp, clean air.

If you’ve never ridden the tramway, it’s well worth a visit, just like that desert zoo. Same could be said of Palm Springs as a whole.

Through the Eyes of Foster Kids

S

anta Barbara couple Christina and Nathanael Matanick are the founders of ReMoved, a nonprofit that focuses on helping people better understand the needs of foster children and the system that controls their lives. The project, which began in 2014 with a short film that has more than 20 million views on You Tube, has produced three more shorts and a recently published book, Listen: Stories We Carry with Us from House to House.

Neither Christina nor Nathanael was a foster child, but after seeing some friends go through the foster-to-adopt process, the couple decided they could handle the challenges. Soon after they had their first child together, they attended an adoption conference at Santa Barbara Community Church, where they learned of the need for people to open their homes for kids locally. “There are kids in our county who need homes?”

Christina realized. “We can do that.”

They entered a foster-parent training class. “Our trainer taught us to think of things from the kids’ point of view,” said Christina. “Everyone is self-centered, so you think about decisions like, ‘Oh, this is gonna be hard. How am I gonna be able to do this?’ And she was like, ‘Yeah, but think about what it’s like for the kid!’”

Inspired by their trainer and learning to view the foster system from the eyes of a child, the Matanicks decided to create their dramatic film, ReMoved, which follows a young girl as she moves through the system and tells her story.

Countless people of all ages who had once been in the foster system reached out to the Matanicks, but the messages from kids who were still in the system were particularly moving. “So many kids wrote saying, ‘Nobody’s ever understood me,’ or, ‘I’ve never seen my story told; it gave me words to explain my experience,’ ” Christina said. “Then they started sharing their personal stories with us, and we were amazed that these youths have overcome so much adversity.”

After pondering what their next move should be, Nathanael came up with the idea of creating a book that featured the stories of those who wanted to be heard. Listen, published in May, came together from hundreds of stories, crowdfunding, and lots of help from local creatives.

“It’s not that rare of an experience, but it’s just not talked about, so it feels very isolating for youth (and adults) who have had that experience in childhood and feel ashamed of it — like it was their fault,” said Christina.

“People need to understand it more so the language can change and these kids can feel more understood. All of our work is just to say your story matters, you are important, and you are not alone.”

Listen is available for purchase online at removedfilm.com or at Chaucer’s Books. The Matanicks’ goal is for a copy to make it into the hands of every child in the country who is in the foster system.

Unpregnant :

I

Born of Political Rage

t was 2011, and writer Jenni Hendriks was in her car, creeping through Los Angeles traffic, when a news story on NPR enraged her. South Dakota was imposing a 72-hour waiting period for any residents seeking an abortion—and that was in a state, mind you, where there was only one clinic providing the service in the first place.

“I just thought, these women are already driving hundreds of miles to get access to this! I was super pissed off,” said Hendriks. She called her writing partner Ted Caplan and blurted, “I know what we’re writing next! It’s a road trip — a road trip with your best friend.”

And so they did. This month, HarperTeen publishes their book Unpregnant, the fresh, funny adventure tale of Missouri high school valedictorian Veronica, who is Ivy League bound when she finds herself disastrously pregnant. Horrified that her life (and perfect image) will be derailed, she opts to secretly travel 994 miles to the closest place she can get a legal abortion without parental consent: at a clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico. To do so, she needs the help of

by Starshine Bailey, the school’s turquoise-haired, combat-boot-clad freak — who happens to be Veronica’s ex-best friend. Along their way, email: starshine@roshell.com odd couple Veronica and Bailey pinball hilariously from pawn shops to strip dives, facing down cows, ferrets, and Planned Parenthood protesters.

“We discovered there was an abortion desert in the middle of the country that went for 1,000 miles in any direction,” Caplan said, “and we thought, okay, how do we highlight the absurdity of this demand on these girls? We wanted to do something in that Thelma & Louise world, showing how big the world is when you’re young and getting out there and seeing it for the first time.”

In fact, Caplan and Hendriks, who live in Los Angeles, set out on that very road trip together before writing the book—and, if their recent article in Parade magazine is to be believed, engaged in stereo battles the entire way, him queuing up “depressing songs sung by whiny white guys” and her opting for power ballads from Wicked and Hamilton.

Where they really traipsed into uncharted territory, though, was in writing and pitching this provocative story. “That’s a risky proposition,” Caplan said when Hendriks first pitched her idea. “We’ve been writing comedies. How are we going to pull off an abortion … road-trip … comedy?”

The answer: Carefully. While Unpregnant is funny from start to finish, it’s never flippant about the subject matter. “The idea,” Caplan said, “was to present a story that could reduce shame for young women whether they’d had an abortion, knew someone who’d had an abortion, or thought about having an abortion.”

Hendriks was raised in a conservative religious family and attended 16 years of Catholic school — including college. “I am very familiar with the anti-choice message that’s presented in that environment,” she says.

For pro-choice folks like these authors, the political climate has gotten a lot more, er, rage-inducing since they first conceived of this story eight years ago. Just this year, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee passed extremely restrictive abortion laws, and last month Planned Parenthood had to withdraw from Title X—losing $60 million in annual funding— after the Trump administration barred participating clinics from providing abortions or referring patients for abortions.

On a professional level, this news makes Unpregnant more marketable, of course. On a personal level, it makes the authors crazy. “We’re glad the book feels relevant, and we’re happy to be a part of the conversation, but …,” Caplan says, trailing off in that I-don’t-recognize-mycountry way that’s a familiar part of liberal conversations these days.

HBO Max begins shooting the Unpregnant movie soon, with Caplan and Hendriks’s script. It’s expected to be released in fall of 2020.

Would New Fee Empower

WINE COUNTRY MARKETING? Santa Barbara Vintners Considering Mandatory 2% Markup on Every Bottle Sold

two percent fee on each bottle sold to help pay for regional marketing efforts? The staff and board members of the Santa Barbara Vintners certainly believe so. They and a growing number of vintners think this could be a silver-bullet solution to becoming more competitive in attracting visitors and selling wine in an increasingly crowded domestic wine marketplace.

So, they’re waging an informational campaign to convince a majority of the county’s winemakers to support the creation of a business improvement district, or BID, that would levy and collect this fee. The two percent fee would generate more than $1.6 million annually, nearly quadrupling the Santa Barbara Vintners’ existing budget.

Many vintners, however, remain unconvinced that this is the right move for the region, worried that the fee, which is being perceived as a new tax, will raise prices for the consumer and cause unnecessary divisions within the community.

They’re also leery of throwing money at a situation that does not yet have a clear marketing strategy.

And in a region built on hard-fought, scrappy, and fiercely independent winemakers, some worry that broad-based marketing efforts won’t benefit their unique operations anyway.

Here’s a breakdown of the situation.

What’s the problem?

Despite making some of the best wine in the world, Santa Barbara County’s visitation pales in comparison to places such as Paso Robles, Temecula, Sonoma, and Napa. Those places are powered by popular vintners associations that command higher dues and yet gain more participation than Santa Barbara. They use that money to advertise, connect with journalists, lobby in favor of the industry, and otherwise raise the profile of their regions.

Attracting and retaining members has long been a challenge in Santa Barbara, where just over a third of the estimated 300-plus wineries are paying members of the organization. According to the Santa Barbara Vintners, theirs is the only 100 percent membershipsupported vintners organization on the West Coast. In 2017, Santa Barbara’s operating budget was just over $500,000. Sonoma

was $1.6 million-plus, Paso was nearly $1.6 million, and Napa was a whopping $7 million-plus.

But money is just one of Santa Barbara’s challenges.

The county government is largely unhelpful, at least compared to other winemaking counties. Our historic slow-growth mentality often blocks or makes financially unfeasible most winery and related tourism development. Many other counties also financially support their vintners associations, but that does not happen here.

What’s the proposed solution?

Two California state laws in 1989 and 1994 enabled the creation of BIDs, which are public-private partnerships to help specific areas and/or industries levy assessments

against themselves to pay for improvements. The first major ones were in downtown Sacramento and in West Hollywood in the mid-1990s, and it quickly became a revitalization tool for run-down neighborhoods as well as the tourism industry. There are many existing BIDs in Santa Barbara County, from Downtown Santa Barbara to tourism BIDS, or TBIDs, in both Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley.

The California restaurant industry has begun using BIDs, now including three districts in Sacramento, one in Carmel, and the most recent one in Newport Beach. Many of these districts were developed by a firm called Civitas Advisors, a specialist in BID creation. Civitas is the consultant on this wine BID for the Santa Barbara Vintners. It’s never been used in the wine industry, although two appellations in Sonoma County are also considering it right now.

Specifically in Santa Barbara, the proposal is for a two percent assessment on direct sales that could be directly passed to the consumer, integrated into existing sales systems, and listed on the receipt, much like you see sales tax. Wholesale sales or phone/wine club/website sales to non-California residents would not be assessed.

If successful in Santa Barbara, this wine BID would likely trigger a wave of copycat regions.

Who would be affected?

Every single winery doing business in Santa Barbara County. A third-party entity would collect the assessment, which would run through the sales and bookkeeping systems much like sales tax is handled. The money would go through the county and then come back to the Santa Barbara Vintners.

How is this the first-ever Santa Barbara County Farm Day? Good question. Most discus-

sions I have had with people in Santa Barbara County who considered organizing the day felt the scale and scope was too big an undertaking. It definitely takes many dedicated hours to pull off.

Because SEEAG’s mission is agricultural education, it is part of our scope of work.

What can participants expect? We have five

categories: fruit and veg, berry hoop house, livestock, technical, and wineries. I would pick one location in each category, such as Babé Farms, Union Valley Ranch, Rancho Laguna Farms, and Tres Hermanas cattle ranch and winery.

With the rising popularity of farm-to-table cuisine and organic buying and farmers’ markets, are kids better off today knowing about where their food comes from than they were 10 years ago? Definitely. In the next few

years, SEEAG’s nutrition program will educate and expose 10,000 3rd graders

to local crops that are growing in their backyards. As we educate ourselves about what is healthy and tastes great, we tend to purchase and eat these foods.

Kale is a great example. Ten years ago, kids did not know what kale was. Today, they are raising their hands to say, “My mom puts kale in my smoothie, and I like it.” Avocados are another great example. Exposing kids to healthy treats at a young age creates lifelong healthy habits.

in Santa Barbara County, yet few residents ever get a close-up look. So on Saturday, September 28, 13 farms will open their doors to the public in what will be, surprisingly, the first-ever Santa Barbara County Farm Day. The free event is organized by Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG), which was founded in 2008 by Mary Maranville. A dairy farmer’s daughter, she was inspired to connect kids to where their food comes from by watching a 3rd-graders’ field trip to a farm in Santa Paula. In 2013, she started a similar day in Ventura County, which has grown from 10 farms and 2,000 attendees to 22 farms and more than 5,000 people.

“This unique day creates educated consumers, agricultural ambassadors, and a conscientious regional community that understands their local growers,” says Maranville, who tells us a bit more about what to expect and why.

What are some of the issues facing modern farmers? Truly, farmers are not appre-

ciated, whether by politicians or the average community member. Most people think farmers are not providing the best, most safe food possible, and they are.

Farming is one of the most highly regulated industries today. Third-party labs are constantly checking for pesticide residues and other pathogens, making sure our food is extremely safe.

The average person says, “Monoculture farming is bad” and then goes out and wants to purchase delicious bread or pasta or drink wine and beer. It’s kind of hypocritical. There is a place for all growers, both biodynamic and monoculture.

Our local farmers need to feel appreciated and they don’t, yet we depend on them for our survival. Farmers should be treated like rock stars. Farm Day is a call to action to go out and visit a farm and farmer in your own backyard to educate yourself on their operations from seed to soil to kitchen table.

A new Powassan-like virus has recently been isolated from deer ticks.

The fee can be directly passed onto consumers, who most likely won’t worry too much at paying 60 cents more on a $30 bottle of wine. It is up to the individual wineries to determine how to explain that charge.

If passed, the vintners organization would cease to collect membership dues, and all vintners would become de facto members with equal voting rights. There would still be membership dues for vineyard-only entities, business partners, and the like.

What’s the process?

To get a BID passed, more than 51 percent of the affected businesses must approve the idea by signing a petition. That 51 percent is weighted based on sales; bigger wineries have more pull in this part of the process, because they will be paying more into the fund.

Currently, the Santa Barbara Vintners are hosting a series of meetings to inform as many wineries as they can touch. Because there is no effective master list of Santa Barbara County wineries, they consulted with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to develop as thorough a list as possible. See sidebar for upcoming meetings.

“We’ve slowed the process down until we feel we can reach everybody,” said Alison Laslett, the CEO of the Santa Barbara Vintners. “That’s just gonna take longer, but I don’t care. It’s more important that everybody understands the concept.” She’s been encouraged that the outreach does seem to convince people that the concept can be a beneficial one.

UPCOMING WINE BID MEETINGS Thu., Sept. 19: Margerum Wine Company, Santa Barbara Fri., Sept. 20: Presqu’ile Winery, Santa Maria Tue., Sept. 24: Gainey Vineyard, Santa Ynez Thu., Oct. 3: Montemar Winery, Lompoc Fri., Oct. 4: Pico Restaurant, Los Alamos

If passed by petition, then every jurisdiction in the county will have public hearings to allow the assessment to be collected from within their boundaries. That means even if the petition quietly passes, there will be plenty of places to object for many months to come.

What are the concerns?

Many winemakers remain concerned that a BID is not the right move. Their worries run from economics — “We want to keep our wine at a price point that people can drink every day and still be artisanal,” said Mike Roth of Lo-Fi Wines recently — to inclusivity. Why not assess vineyard owners as well, since they will be able to sell their fruit for more money if the marketing efforts are successful? There’s a belief that the weighted voting system of the petition process is simply undemocratic, that the money does not have a clear spending plan aside from some pie charts, and this could pit vintner against vintner.

“First and foremost, it is divisive,” said David DeLaski of Solminer Wines. “It is splitting our community and becoming a political issue you are for or against. Our wine community’s greatest strength is its diversity. The very nature of this intriguing patchwork of diverse wineries here in the county is due to various ideas, philosophies, and styles.”

How then, he and other like-minded vintners wonder, can broad-based marketing efforts help unique boutique operations? At the root of that concern is that simply throwing more money at the Santa Barbara Vintners may not be the best way to turn it into a more effective organization.

Laslett is hearing all of these concerns and more, and she admits that if this is not a solution that vintners want, she won’t want it either. “I’m interested in a much bigger majority than the 51 percent,” she said. “Fifty-one to 49 percent is too divisive for our county. We need to have a percentage that is really representative. … At the end of the day, this will really be the choice of the wine industry.”

NECTARNOMICON MAUI WOWIE

A

t the Modern Times Academy of Recre-

ational Sciences, when a beer has the word “dessert” in the description, you should usually expect a beer that’s terribly rich and wonderfully sweet. A barrel-aged imperial stout brewed with some combination of vanilla beans, coffee grinds, coconuts, cinnamon sticks, cacao nibs, and macadamia nuts that tops 13 percent alcohol is the Modern Times normal.

So with the fact that Nectarnomicon is billed as an “ultra-fruited dessert sour,” there are a host of surprises to unpack in the beer, starting with the fact that it tiptoes in the tulip glass at 3.6 percent ABV. But Nectarnomicon, with the present keg on at the taproom being the Maui Wowie Edition, is no subtle session ale. It’s more accurately a glass of pineapple and mango juice with a hefty dose of coconut and nutmeg (remember, this is a dessert sour ale) with some fermented malt juice blended in. And it’s delish—morning, noon, or night.

SALT & SILVER EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY, 1840–1860

COURTESY PHOTOS

Le Parthenon de l’Acropole d’Athènes, 1852

W

illiam Henry Fox Talbot was a 19th-century scientist and inventor who created the photographic process known as “salted paper,” in which sodium chloride and silver nitrate are combined to create silver chloride, a light-sensitive solution that can fix images on ordinary paper.

Thanks to Talbot’s innovations, a generation of early experimenters was able to print detailed, stable pictures from paper negatives, allowing them to operate free from the cumbersome apparatus associated with rival technologies such as the daguerreotype.

Salt & Silver: Early Photography, 1840–1860, on view at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (SBMA) through December 8, presents more than 100 beautifully preserved examples of these salt prints from the Wilson Centre for Photography, a private archive in London. When SBMA Curator of Photography and New Media Charlie Wylie saw that this extensive, once-in-a-lifetime show was coming to the West Coast, he negotiated a Santa Barbara stop on its tour, and the result is a revelation. To see the variety of ways in which these early figures approached the new technology allows 21st-century eyes to shed preconceptions about what

photography is and what it has wrought in the world. Touring Salt & Silver, one journeys back in time to a world in which the act of taking a picture was not yet taken for granted.

Walking through the exhibit, one witnesses the birth of the modern eye.

Talbot’s “Articles of China” (1844) takes inventory of a variety of similar objects in a way that reflects the impulse to order and categorize the world that’s emerging from such nascent disciplines as archaeology. Other images from the same period, such as Talbot’s group portrait of “The Fruit Sellers” and “Newhaven Fishermen (Alexander Rutherford, William Ramsay, and John Liston)” by D.O. Hill and Robert Adamson, deliver the kind of information about humans and the poses they strike in different settings that one would expect to encounter not only in sociology or anthropology but also in fiction and drama.

Some of the exhibition’s most striking pictures document the early stages of the industrial revolution. Edouard Baldus shows the “Entrée de la Gare d’Amiens” as it looked in 1855, a new, brutal hardscape largely devoid of both people and nature. Early photos of his-

EARLY PHOTOS REVEAL PARADIGM SHIFT IN PERCEPTION

torically significant ancient sites such as the Parthenon and the Pyramids of Giza must have shocked their first audiences with their level of detail and the absence of painterly considerations.

Given the long exposures required to make these images, the range of attitudes expressed in the portraits astonishes. Contrapposto, casually crossed legs, and heads cocked and propped on hands abound. It seems there was something about the new medium that demanded spontaneity, even if that quality had to be painstakingly contrived.

As with the category known as early music in the classical music world, this field of early photography has captured the imagination of a new generation of scholars and practitioners. The accompanying catalog, with its pair of roundtable discussion transcripts in lieu of the more traditional scholarly essays, and its sensuous matte paper design, displays a sophisticated sensibility in relation to the material that’s very much of this moment even as it delivers aspects of that time. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the wide-ranging world of Salt & Silver. It’s an eye-opener for the ages.

SANTA BARBARA READS

Writing Contest October heralds cooler days, fall leaves, and, for the past three years, the Independent and S.B. Public Library’s community essay contest based on the Santa Barbara Reads selection. This year’s tome is Benjamin Alire Sáenz’s Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, the award-winning young adult novel that explores racial and sexual identities, family relationships, and mental-health issues, among other topics. Follow the instructions below and start writing! Winning essays from both categories will be published in the Independent.

Categories Teens (ages 14-18) and Adults (over 18).

Topic Write a story, poem, or essay inspired by one of the following quotes from the novel: “I came to understand that my father was a careful man. To be careful with people and with words was a rare and beautiful thing.”

“When do we start feeling like the world belongs to us?”

“I got to thinking that poems were like people.

Some people you got right off the bat. Some people you just didn’t get—and never would get.”

“Birds exist to teach us things about the sky. … If we studied birds maybe we could learn to be free.”

The length should be no more than 500 words; essays are due Friday, October 18, by 11:59 p.m.

Email submissions and questions to librarypr@ santabarbaraca.gov. Please include your name and age when submitting your essay.

The crowds have changed a bit, too. “I think we have a younger clientele than we used to,” Gail said. SOhO sits in an interesting intertidal zone between longtime residents and new, college-age arrivals, and new acts share schedules with “bands that have been around forever,” like frequent performers Venice or Willie & Lobo.

SOhO still manages a small club feel for bands that often play venues three times its size. “When it’s a quiet performer, our room is quiet. I think the artists really appreciate being listened to and not talked over, and Santa Barbara’s people are good about that. When they walk in the door, they know that’s what’s expected,” Gail said. She credits Rosie Hernandez, “[He’s] our sound engineer extraordinaire who keeps our system in tip-top shape, along with the other engineers that we have.”

Another reason for SOhO’s prolonged success — and younger audiences — has been the integration of outside promoters such as We the Beat, Numbskull, Red Eye, and Smart Alec Presents, beginning about 10 years ago with Club Mercy. “Having a music venue that provides entertainment seven nights a week is a hard feat to maintain,” Beloin said.

“It requires nonstop attention to a never-ending calendar — there’s no downtime, even if you’re booked out three months ahead. Promoters help Gail fill spots on the calendar and also bring acts to the club that we may not have had eyes on.”

It’s not always a smooth business to run in an industry where bands disband, trends fade, fan bases are fickle, and rents are high. “How has SOhO managed? Not easily,” Gail said. “During the economy crash, we honestly almost had to close our doors, and just squeaked our way through. When we hit those hard times, somehow we’re always able to rise above, and I don’t really know why.”

Maybe it’s because of SOhO’s family feel. The all-in-thefamily philosophy extends to the staff ’s hospitality, and performers have come to know it as a homey kind of place. “The family vibe is what we portray the most. “We feed musicians good food; we nurture them; we give them hugs — they feel loved when they’re here,” said Gail. “We’re fair, we’re honest, and I think just that warmth and family vibe is what we’ve always gone for, and, I believe, always achieved. … I think if things keep going the way they are, we’ll be fine.”

he multiplatinum singer made a grand entrance on a recent Thursday at the Santa Barbara Bowl, descending a staircase worthy of a Fred Astaire film. The riser, set up to accommodate the mini-orchestra (strings and horns) traveling with Groban, made a nice visual statement of the man’s show, which was part storytelling, part Broadway music, and part pops concert.

The singer’s warm baritone rang brightly through the outdoor venue, which Groban described as “a damn near a perfect [place] to make music and listen to music [in].” After opening with numbers “Bigger Than Us” from Bridges and “You Are Loved (Don’t Give Up),” from Awake, Groban, a delightful chatterbox, offered bon mots, quips, a history behind the songs he’d chosen for the evening, and his career experiences. “It was 20 years ago,” he At the Bowl, informed the Thu., Sept. 5. audience, that he was last on the Bowl stage while on tour with Sarah Brightman. The then18-year-old came out each show and sang one song; now he is a multi-platinum, award-winning recording star.

Between stories, Groban sang tunes from his catalog, including his most recent album, Bridges. The 2019 record is a mix of original songs and a handful of covers, including Paul Simon’s “Bridge over Troubled Water,” which he performed with aplomb. Other highlights were a stirring rendition of Neil Diamond’s “Play Me,” a sublime “Bring Him Home” from Les Misérables, and the rousing “You Raise Me & ENTERTAINMENT Up,” which earned a

Grammy nod in 2004 and put Groban at number one on the 2004 Billboard Adult Contemporary charts.

Groban is an engaging performer. He made the Bowl feel intimate with his banter and expansive with his sound. Defying categorization, the artist is a curious mixture of raconteur, classical/operatic pop star, and stage musical showman. It’s an unusual amalgamation but one that Groban beautifully embodies, as was evident in the faces of his fans who left the show elated.

Thursday evening to learn the next concert’s material and entertain the patrons at Telegraph Brewing Company for free. When they perform at the Presidio, Phillips and his players put in an extra effort to create something memorable, and this show, which was dedicated to folk and folk-related rock music of the 1960s, was no exception.

Exotic instruments and lavish, stringheavy arrangements give the Folk Orchestra a distinctive sound even when they are playing familiar material. The band opened with a gorgeous, moving rendition of “We Shall Overcome,” with Phillips playing the melody on a Galician bagpipe known as the gaita.

Electric guitarist Bear Erickson delivered thoughtful, imaginative solos on a pair of

Phillips used his clear, supple voice to great effect on “Kathy’s Song” by Simon and Garfunkel and to lead the audience in sing-alongs on “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “Sweet Caroline,” and “The Parting Glass,” which has become the group’s signature closing number.

So it wasn’t just lip service at Harper’s Arlington concert last week when he name-checked the Bowl, the Granada, and Santa Barbara’s venerable guitar shop, Jensen Guitar & Music Co. The eclectic, hybridizing guitarist/singer also implicitly and musically name-checked a host of heroes reflected in his set list. With a lean, four-piece version of his band Innocent Criminals, Harper’s song selection found him morphing from Dylan-esque folk to Hendrix-ian psychedelic blues to Taj Mahal country blues and Bob Marley island-flavored pop, via his hits “Steal My Kisses” and “Diamonds on the Inside.”

O It: Chapter Two (209 mins., R) Set 27 years after its predecessor, IT: Chapter Two follows the “Losers Club,” who are summoned back together by an astonishing call from childhood friend Mike — Pennywise the clown has returned to wreak havoc once again. In addition to its self-indulgent runtime and thinly drawn characterizations of the “Losers,” the sentimental connection

audiences attained with the children in the first film is also absent. Perhaps the weak script is due to difficult nature of adapting Stephen King’s complex novel to the screen. Nevertheless, the film’s authentic portrayal of trauma and its subsequent recognition of the importance in maintaining long-term close friendships is what gives the film life.

Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise beautifully embodies the nightmarish clown, and performances from actors James McAvoy and Bill Hader are outstanding. Although not the perfect bookend to Chapter One, IT: Chapter Two does balance heartfelt emotion with creepy jump scares galore. (AM) Camino Real/ Fiesta 5

O Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice (95 mins., PG-13) Baby boomer rock star documentaries, a cottage industry of late, are not created equal. Two recent ones transcend the norm — David Crosby: Remember My Name and the lovely Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice, all the more poignant since Parkinson’s has deprived her (and us) of her incomparable singing for a decade. Whereas Crosby’s doc unpacks his crustiness and sins, the Ronstadt film — directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, and featuring notable talking heads (and Santa Barbarans Karla Bonoff and the late Kenny Edwards) —

O Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood (161 mins., R) Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood is a nostalgia-inducing ode to Los Angeles and classic film. The director/screenwriter teases a fairytale from the very real 1969 tragedy — the brutal murder of Sharon Tate and her friends by the Manson Family. Although the storyline develops leisurely, Tarantino nonetheless delivers an engaging snapshot of a moment in time with a thrillingly ruthless finale in this valentine to Hollywood. (AM) Paseo Nuevo O The Peanut Butter Falcon (93 mins., PG-13) Supercharged by a bold script and light humor, The Peanut Butter Falcon soars gracefully as one of the best films of the summer. Zac (Zack Gottsagen) has Down syndrome (as does Gottsagen) and has been wrongly placed in a care home. He decides to escape and comes across Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), an outlaw on the run for setting fire to his fisherman competitor’s equipment. Tyler makes it his mission to help fulfill Zac’s desire of becoming a professional wrestler. As their friendship grows, the duo ends up filling the void each harbor due to estrangement from their respective families. The heartfelt story is painted by exceptionally raw performances from both LaBeouf and Gottsagen and shines a poetic light on the importance of aspirations and how “friends are the family we choose.” (AM) Paseo Nuevo

FOX SPORTS FEATURING SANTA BARBARA HIGH

FOOTBALL Dons Prepare for Stiff Test Against Pacifica of Oxnard

S

anta Barbara High’s football team will capture viewers across the Southland when the Dons host Pacifica of Oxnard on Friday, September 20, at Scott O’Leary Stadium on the campus of Dos Pueblos High. The game will be included on the Fox Sports Prep Zone lineup for live stream, the first time this season that a Santa Barbara County team will be among the Fox Sports matchups.

The matchup: Pacifica is ranked No. 2 in CIF-SS Division 6 and has defeated its three opponents this season by an average score of 66-9, including a 63-13 victory over Dos Pueblos on August 30.

The Tritons have several players who are garnering interest from college programs. Linebacker Caleb McCullough has more than 20 scholarship offers, which includes Pac-12 programs USC and Oregon, among others.

On offense, Pacifica boasts a plethora of speedy options at the skill positions led by running back Malik Sherrod, who has 12 scholarship offers despite his diminutive frame (58, 165 pounds).

For Pacifica quarterback R.J. Maria, there is no shortage of pass-catching options, including Savonne Farmer, who hauled in 31 receptions for 539 yards and eight touchdowns last season.

The Dons are ranked No. 3 in CIF-SS Division 8 and got off to a 3-0 start this season, but they struggled mightily in their most recent contest, a 31-6 loss to St. Bonaventure. The uneven performance came as a surprise to coach J.T. Stone.

JOHN ZANT’S GAME OF THE WEEK 9/19: College Men’s Water Polo: Pepperdine at UCSB Coached by two great U.S. Olympic athletes, the Waves (8-1) and the Gauchos (9-0) are off to great starts in the 2019 season. Pepperdine has reeled off seven straight victories since an 11-5 defeat to the Gauchos on September 7. Both teams will play Ottawa Arizona earlier Thursday before facing off in prime time. UCSB could take a 10-0 record, the team’s best start ever, into the encounter. Terry Schroeder, in his 27th year as Waves coach, collected two silver medals as a three-time Olympian (1984-88-92). A graduate of San Marcos High, he coached the Americans to another silver in 2008. Wolf Wigo, in his 14th year as Gaucho coach, also represented the U.S. in three Olympic Games (1996-2000-2004). 5 p.m. UCSB Campus Pool. $5-$8. Call 893-UCSB (8272) or visit ucsbgauchos.com.

ATHLETIC ROUND TABLE: downs and just two interceptions in four games. But a lot of that production came against weaker competition.

Can the Santa Barbara offensive line protect Hill long enough for him to deliver the ball? Will the Santa Barbara receivers be able to create separation against elite athletes in the secondary? Both questions will need to be answered affirmatively in order for the Dons to avoid a lopsided loss to Pacifica.

“Our whole goal this week is to get through this game as healthy as we can,” Stone said. “We’re going to go out there and put our best foot forward. I think we learned a lot from the St. Bonny game, but we have Pacifica and they’re the best team in the area right now.”

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Before comedian Jack Benny died in 1974, he arranged to have a florist deliver a single red rose to his wife every day for the rest of her life. She lived another nine years and received more than 3,000 of these gifts. Even though you’ll be around on this earth for a long time, I think the coming weeks would be an excellent time to establish a comparable custom: a commitment to providing regular blessings to a person or persons for whom you care deeply. This bold decision would be in alignment with astrological omens, which suggest that you can generate substantial benefits for yourself by being creative with your generosity.

this pregnant pause, the sun seems to hover directly over the equator; the lengths of night and day are equal. For all of us, but especially for you, it’s a favorable phase to conjure and cultivate more sweet symmetry, calming balance, and healing harmony. In that spirit, I encourage you to temporarily suspend any rough, tough approaches you might have in regard to those themes.

Resist the temptation to slam two opposites together simply to see what happens. Avoid engaging in the pseudo-fun of purging by day and bingeing by night.

And don’t you dare get swept up in hating what you love or loving what you hate.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): “I tell you what freedom is to me: no

fear.” So said singer and activist Nina Simone. But it’s doubtful there ever came a time when she reached the perfect embodiment of that idyllic state. How can any of us empty out our anxiety so completely as to be utterly emancipated? It’s not possible. That’s the bad news, Taurus. The good news is that in the coming weeks, you will have the potential to be as unafraid as you have ever been. For best results, try to ensure that love is your primary motivation in everything you do and say and think.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some things don’t change much. The

beautiful marine animal species known as the pearly nautilus, which lives in the South Pacific, is mostly the same as it was 150 million years ago. Then there’s Fuggerei, a walled enclave within the German city of Augsburg. The rent is cheap, about one U.S. dollar per year, and that fee hasn’t increased in almost 500 years. While I am in awe of these bastions of stability and wish we had more such symbolic anchors, I advise you to head in a different direction. During the coming weeks, you’ll be wise to be a maestro of mutability, a connoisseur of transformation, an adept of novelty.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): “Every masterpiece is just dirt and

ash put together in some perfect way,” writes storyteller Chuck Palahniuk, who has completed several novelistic masterpieces. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you Leos have assembled much of the dirt and ash necessary to create your next masterpiece and are now ready to move on to the next phase. And what is that phase? Identifying the help and support you’ll need for the rest of the process.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1959, scandal erupted among

Americans who loved to eat peanut butter. Studies revealed that manufacturers had added so much hydrogenated vegetable oil and glycerin to their product that only 75 percent of it could truly be called peanut butter.

So began a long legal process to restore high standards.

Finally, there was a new law specifying that no company could sell a product called “peanut butter” unless it contained at least 90 percent peanuts. I hope this fight for purity inspires you to conduct a metaphorically comparable campaign. It’s time to ensure that all the important resources and influences in your life are at peak intensity and efficiency. Say NO to dilution and adulteration.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1990, the New Zealand govern-

ment appointed educator, magician, and comedian Ian Brackenbury Channell to be the official Wizard of New Zealand. His jobs include protecting the government, blessing new enterprises, casting out evil spirits, upsetting fanatics, and cheering people up. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to find your personal equivalents of an inspirational force like that. There’s really no need to scrimp. According to my reading of the cosmic energies, you have license to be extravagant in getting what you need to thrive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Do silly things,” advised playwright

Anton Chekhov. “Foolishness is a great deal more vital and healthy than our straining and striving after a meaningful life.” I think that’s a perspective worth adopting now and then. Most of us go through phases when we take things too seriously and too personally and too literally. Bouts of fun absurdity can be healing agents for that affliction. But now is NOT one of those times for you, in my opinion. Just the reverse is true, in fact. I encourage you to cultivate majestic moods and seek out awe-inspiring experiences and induce sublime perspectives. Your serious and noble quest for a meaningful life can be especially rewarding in the coming weeks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Actress and author Ruby Dee formulated an unusual prayer. “God,” she wrote, “make me so uncomfortable that I will do the very thing I fear.” As you might imagine, she was a brave activist who risked her reputation and career working for the civil rights movement and other idealistic causes. I think her exceptional request to a higher power makes good sense for you right now. You’re in a phase when you can generate practical blessings by doing the very things that intimidate you or make you nervous. And maybe the best way to motivate and mobilize yourself is by getting at least a bit flustered or unsettled.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Syndicated cartoon strip Calvin and

Hobbes appeared for 10 years in 2,400 newspapers in 50 countries. It wielded a sizable cultural influence. For example, in 1992, six-year-old Calvin decided “The Big Bang” was a boring term for how the universe began, and instead proposed we call it the “Horrendous Space Kablooie.” A number of real scientists subsequently adopted Calvin’s innovation, and it has been invoked playfully but seriously in university courses and textbooks. In that spirit, I encourage you to give fun new names to anything and everything you feel like spicing up. You now have substantial power to reshape and revamp the components of your world. It’s IdentifyShifting Time.

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 10/10/2019 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.

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.

Petitioner: Mark R. Wietstock P.O. Box 40123, Santa Barbara, CA 93140; (805) 899‑3545.
