PARALLEL STORIES

In the Country of Women: Susan Straight SUNDAY | OCTOBER 20 | 2:30 PM This fall, Parallel Stories looks at the power of memory and the family stories that are woven together in the “Homeric” epic In the Country of Women: A Memoir in a reading and conversation with award-winning author Susan Straight. In this ode to what The New York Times called “the entire multi-racial, transnational tribe she claims as her own,” Straight reminds us in powerful, fiercely lyrical language of the grit, hope, courage, resilience, sorrow, and love inextricably connected to our stories.

the property “as needed” to assist the formerly homeless tenants with any issues. On-site staff will not be provided, however. No registered sex offenders would ever be allowed to rent because it is near three schools.

“This is not a homeless shelter. These people are like any other people renting an apartment in the community,” said Mark Gisler, executive director of the Salvation Army in Santa Barbara.

“They are vetted, sign a lease with rules, and just like anyone else, they are subject to eviction if they break the lease.” He added that the average

ENVIRONMENT

Speakers young and old rallied in a Friday afternoon, De la Guerra Plaza crowd of roughly 800 in Santa Barbara’s second climate strike in as many weeks. Topics ranged from the new steaminjection wells proposed for the county’s Cat Canyon to Senate Bill 1, which would lock in Obama-era standards on environmental and worker protection.

Following the rally, the crowd poured down State Street toward Pershing Park in a blocks-long stream of people.

NEIGHBORHOOD OUTRAGE: More than 150 Eastside residents packed the Franklin Neighborhood Center Monday to protest the Salvation Army’s plan to build permanent supportive housing for previously homeless tenants on 15 South Alisos Street. Executive Director of the S.B. Salvation Army Mark Gisler (right) said the new Alisos Street tenants would be vetted before signing a lease.

by Delaney Smith hat was supposed to be Salvation Army’s community presentation on its plan for an Eastside homeless housing project quickly turned into a chaotic, angry mass of 150 neighbors determined to stop it at all costs.

“Every time the city wants to dump something, they dump it on the Eastside,” said area resident Natasha Todorovic. “This will be just like Casa Esperanza [now PATH]. They dumped it on us, and there is now a 500 percent increase in crime in the surrounding area.”

The proposed project is considered permanent supportive housing, meaning it is not a homeless shelter or transitional living program. The new house, located at 15 South Alisos Street, would contain 10 bedrooms.

Two other homes on the lot would enable the program to house up to 14 single men or women — provided they have gone through recovery programs, passed background checks, and were selected through the Salvation Army’s coordinated entry system.

A social worker would be assigned to visit

stay for permanent supportive housing tenants is five years.

The presentation did not quell the fury of the Eastside residents packed into the Franklin Neighborhood Center. Rather than holding public comment, the Salvation Army’s team asked attendees to write their questions on index cards so they could answer them during the second half of the presentation. With more than 100 questions, the process quickly spiraled out of control.

“Why do you get to cherry pick the questions?” a few people shouted.

Although Major Osei Stuart with the Salvation Army attempted to soothe the tension, more people began shouting questions.

As representatives began answering them, more attendees followed suit. Nearly half the questionand-answer period darted off its intended course before Salvation Army representatives could reel it back in. They promised to answer dozens of unanswered question cards via email.

The audience remarks concerned safety, crime, and parking, among other matters.

Salvation Army’s Media Manager Robert Brennan said parking wouldn’t be an issue because most renters won’t own a car. Safety and crime shouldn’t be too much of a worry, he said, because of the vetting process and regular social worker visits. “Why don’t we get your phone number so we can call you when there’s an issue!” one person shouted at Brennan from the back of the room.

“We strongly suggest you call the police if anything illegal is going on,” Brennan retorted.

About 50 environmentalists showed up at Goleta’s Elks Lodge on 9/28 to protest the arrival of former interior secretary Ryan Zinke and West Coast regional director of the EPA Mike Stoker at a Republican fundraising event. Activists with Forest Watch and Food and Water Watch hosted the gathering to protest Zinke’s efforts to shrink the boundaries of several large national monuments created in the past 20 years. Sheriff’s deputies were called to the protest in response to noise complaints, but no citations were issued.

More than 1,200 volunteers celebrated Creek Week last week by yanking 6,347 pounds of trash — including 3,903 cigarette butts, 3,355 pieces of plastic, shopping carts, car tires, a piano leg, and an electric scooter, among other waste — from six South Coast creeks. That’s up by 4,311 pounds the year before and 3,042 pounds in 2016. According to the city’s Creeks Division and the Environmental Defense Center, 58 miles of creek channel were cleaned up. Only 684 pounds of the waste collected could be recycled.

HEALTH Santa Barbara County Public Health officials learned that in July a hospital admitted a patient determined to be suffering respiratory distress from vaping. The patient’s chest x-ray showed the characteristics of vape-induced pulmonary problems, explained Paige Batson, deputy director of community health for the department, and no other causative factors were found. The teenager vaped both nicotine and THC, she said, and recovered and was released the next day.

City Attorney Gets Perp Busters

T

he city’s new prosecuting attorney, Denny Wei, met the Santa Barbara City Council officially on Tuesday afternoon. Enforcement resources were tripled by the council this year, said Wei’s boss, City Attorney Ariel Calonne, allowing his office to finally get its teeth into compliance. Wei explained his mandate encompassed more vigorous action on ordinance violations. And enforcement didn’t go straight to court action, he said, but started with meetings to ensure violators understood the rules and got a timeline for compliance.

Wei, a seasoned prosecutor who came to Santa Barbara from the City of Burbank in June, introduced two more new employees.

Cops Pulled from Restorative Policing Detail

F

ive Santa Barbara police officers and two supervisors are being transferred from popular ancillary assignments, such as restorative policing, in order to increase the numbers on patrol duty, the department’s core function. The announcement came late last week, according to Sgt. Eric Beecher, head of the Police Officers Association, and will take effect mid-October.

The union and City Hall are currently negotiating a new contract, and Beecher blamed the staffing shortages on what he termed the below-average compensation compared to comparable cities. Recruitment and retention are issues for police departments everywhere, particularly during relatively flush economic times and especially so given the negative scrutiny many departments are experiencing over issues of force and ethnic profiling.

City Hall has budgeted for a department of 141, but it currently hovers at 136. Of those, 11 are new recruits either still in the academy or fresh out. At least another 10 are out on injury leave, another five to seven are expected to retire at year’s end, and another

two are expected to transfer elsewhere.

Typically, the department maintains a patrol staff of 58-60 officers, Beecher stated; currently, he claimed, it’s down to 44 or 45.

Department spokesperson Anthony Wagner declined to comment on such figures, citing tactical considerations, but he confirmed that officers were being reassigned to buttress patrol staffing.

Wagner noted that a large wave of officers — those hired in the late ’80s and early ’90s —are now hitting retirement age. More than 60 percent of the department, he added, is staffed by officers hired in the past five years.

Wagner acknowledged the restorative policing detail, which focuses on connecting homeless people with services or family members, will take a hit, but he stressed it will still retain one officer, as opposed to two, and one supervisor. Others in City Hall dismissed Beecher’s contention that Santa Barbara’s compensation levels have sunk below average as a bargaining table ploy, questioning how the department could entice 11 new recruits if the pay were so bad.

Helistop Prognosis Is Negative

ready to grant a permit to land Mr. Nesbitt’s helicopter, or anyone else’s, along the South Coast on private property.”

Commissioner Larry Ferini was the only one who said he would be inclined to approve Nesbitt’s permit, which County Planner Rey Harmon recommended as the permit met all findings required for approval.

Dozens lined up for public comment, speaking for and against the permit. Many said they were dubious Nesbitt could be trusted to adhere to his strict flight path and schedule. Nesbitt’s friend and “aviation expert” Lance Strumpf rebutted some concerns, stating a log would be kept, and turned over to the county annually, listing landings and take offs. “That’s enforcement,” Strumpf said.

Nesbitt remains hopeful for the November 7 hearing. “My application is for a helistop on my property. It is not an application to fly over Carpinteria, Summerland, or even Montecito,” he said.

“Take notice that anyone who was against me today doesn’t live near my property.

Those who supported me live close by.”

MELI N DA BU R N S

ollowing months of impassioned debates surrounding hotelier Patrick Nesbitt’s permit application for a private helicopter landing pad at his Summerland property, the judgment day came and went at the County Planning Commission with no decision. The final vote will now take place next month. Although three of the four commissioners said during their September 25 deliberations that they do not support Nesbitt’s project, the motion that passed requires planning staff to come back to a hearing on November 7 with findings for denial before the commissioners can officially vote to deny Nesbitt’s application.

“I’ve never found the argument for using the helistop for emergency services persuasive at all,” Commissioner Laura Bridley said, referring to Nesbitt’s proposal to let emergency personnel use the landing pad as needed. “Emergency personnel can land literally anywhere in the case of emergencies.”

Michael Cooney, commissioner for the 1st District, which encompasses Nesbitt’s property, also said he could not support the permit approval: “In my view, we’re not

Used Water Finds New Life at Cemetery

O

n the heels of a severe drought and years of water rationing, a longstanding plan to provide recycled water for the vast lawn at the Santa Barbara Cemetery is finally gaining some momentum. At a joint committee meeting this week, members of the Montecito Water and Sanitary District boards and staffs tentatively agreed to collaborate on recycled water for the cemetery, with the sanitary district taking the lead.

The Sanitary District will pay for and build a small, expandable plant on its property at 1042 Monte Cristo Lane, treating wastewater to non-potable standards for irrigation on the five-acre cemetery lawn, just across Channel Drive from district headquarters. The project has been in the Sanitary District’s master plan since 2004, awaiting a willing partner in the water district.

“We can actually make this happen,” Tom Bollay, president of the Sanitary District board, said Monday. “From a community point of view, that’s huge.”

The cemetery project is expected to cost about $3 million, including design and environmental review, Sanitary District

officials said; the money will come from district property tax revenues. Construction, they said, could begin as early as the spring of 2020, with the project coming online during the winter of 2021. The Water District wants to be the distributor—that is, it would own and operate the “purple pipe” for the recycled supply.

Monday’s meeting struck a cautious note of unity in what has been a yearlong and often heated discussion between the two Montecito districts over how quickly to move forward with recycled water, how much to recycle, what commercial properties should get the water, and who’s in charge.

“I think at the highest level, we share the same goals,” said Brian Goebel, a Water District boardmember, on Monday.

Last month, the Sanitary District installed a $160,000 pilot recycled-water project for flushing out its sewer lines and use on its own landscaping. Effectively, it is the first recycled-water project in Montecito.

Beginning early next year, the district will test the quality of the recycled supply on two acres of cemetery lawn.

relieve responding deputies, allowing them to pursue more traditional patrol functions.

Despite the acknowledged utility of the program, the program nearly died early this year because of funding and staffing issues. Mental-health advocates pitched a fit, and the supervisors provided just enough funding to keep the program afloat pending a successful grant application this spring.

This new grant will allow the program to increase from one to three such teams.

he County of Santa Barbara just secured a $2.1 million grant to fund two new “co-response” teams in addition to the one that’s been operating for the past year.

Co-response is the term used when law enforcement officers and mental-health case workers go out on patrol together, and the new grant will provide two Sheriff ’s Office deputies with 40 hours of Crisis Intervention Training — designed to teach them de-escalation skills for dealing with people with mental illnesses — and team them up with two acute-care caseworkers in the Department of Behavioral Wellness.

The program was started as a test program a year ago with only the whisper of a prayer for future funding. The sheriff ’s only co-response team initially went out only one day every other week and built from there.

BREAKING UP: Council chambers were packed on Tuesday by firefighters, including County Fire Chief Mark Hartwig (above), who spoke in favor of separating fire and medical dispatch operations from the Sheriff’s Office.

In Dispatch Dispute, Guns Lose to Hoses

A

ll five Santa Barbara County supervisors voted Tuesday to separate fire and medical dispatch operations from the Sheriff ’s Office, capping a two-year effort by fire chiefs to run their own emergency communications center and highlighting the longstanding rift between the publicsafety entities. The vote also started the process of expanding the county’s existing Emergency Operations Center on Cathedral Oaks Road to accommodate the new fire/ medical dispatch facility, which is estimated to cost $10.4 million.

The chiefs and county Emergency Medical Director Dr. Angelo Salvucci insist that a separation will actually increase speed and efficiency. Currently, they explained, fire and ambulance crews only respond to calls within their respective jurisdictions.

The new Regional Fire Communications Facility, as it’s named, would allow for borderless “closest-resource dispatching,” thus cutting response times.

Sheriff Bill Brown argued the opposite on Tuesday, claiming the new system would slow reaction and endanger lives since all 9-1-1 calls would still first go through Sheriff ’s Office dispatchers in their Calle 12

Real headquarters before being transferred.

Two transfers would be necessary if CHP got the call first, he said: “Make no mistake about it. With separation, there will be delays.”

In arguing for the split in August 2018, former County Fire Chief Eric Peterson publicly aired the behind-the-scenes tension between Brown and the chiefs, which came to a head most recently during the Thomas Fire and 1/9 Debris Flow. Peterson told supervisors that in a perfect world, fire, medical, and sheriff dispatch would be under one roof, but that only works if control and oversight are shared. When dealing with Brown and the Sheriff ’s Office, he explained, the idea of shared governance “has an asterisk next to it.”

During this week’s discussion, supervisors Das Williams and Gregg Hart lamented the ongoing headbutting but said their constituents — many of whom live in prior disaster zones — are asking for the closest-resource system. Supervisor Steve Lavagnino directed county staff to explore using Santa Maria’s new dispatch center as a backup to the Cathedral Oaks Road facility should it be overrun by a fire or other catastrophe.

District 1 City Councilmember Jason Dominguez swooped in during the final minutes of the meeting and pacified his Eastside constituents with just one sentence: “At this point, I haven’t heard anyone here who has changed their minds,” he said. “My recommendation is that there needs to be some significant alterations to the plan. … There were many questions that weren’t answered here tonight.” The project is only in its beginning stages, he added, and is far from being a “done deal,” prompting sighs of relief through the room.

Co-Response Teams Get $2.1M

Supes Add $1M to Bud Budget

C

ounty supervisors voted on Tuesday to add another $1 million to the budget to enforce legal-weed laws and also to process permits and applications by would-be cannabis operators, just a week after two raids on allegedly illegal operations.

One took place in Cebada Canyon outside Lompoc — reputedly the site of much illegal growing — and one in Winchester Canyon in the outer reaches of Goleta. The Sheriff ’s Office stated both were unlicensed.

In the past quarter, the county conducted 12 enforcement actions, destroying 471,000 plants said to be worth $118 million and eliminating 50,000 pounds of processed product, reportedly worth $50 million.

Although numbers fluctuate day to day, Santa Barbara County growers now have 828 provisional state licenses and 12 annual licenses, just barely the most of any county in California, narrowly edging out Humboldt. Nearly two years after California’s legalization went into effect, only three cannabis operations to date have cleared all the necessary hurdles — land-use permits and business licenses — needed to

become totally “legal.”

Odor complaints remain a significant issue, with 99 complaints filed against operations in Carpinteria. Of those, 17 have given rise to enforcement actions. According to county cannabis czar Dennis Bozanich, all but one of Carpinteria’s greenhouses have reportedly been equipped with an operating odor-control system, but he continues to conduct unannounced inspections.

Critics of the cannabis industry complained of the slow pace with which the county’s Planning Commission has set out to draft new, more restrictive landuse rules governing cannabis cultivation.

Keeping the Planning Commission — and planning staff — busy is the large number of appeals filed against cultivation operations that have been granted land-use permits.

The number of applications has increased, as well.

The new funds approved by the supervisors will help cover the cost of hiring new planners, and enforcement officers, required by Santa Barbara burgeoning cannabis industry.

Firefighters Eye AMR’s $20M Contract

PUBLIC SAFETY

Supes Vote Unanimously to Open Up Ambulance Contract to Competitive Bidding

by Nick Welsh p against one another at the county supervisors hearing this week were the proverbial immovable object and the unstoppable force. In the end, it wasn’t even close. The immovable object—in this case, the county’s exclusive ambulance contract, held without one competitive bid for 40 years by American Medical Response (AMR) — got budged.

AMR is by no means out the door, but the supervisors voted unanimously to open up the contract, worth $20 million a year, to competitive bidding. To accommodate that process, the supervisors extended AMR’s contract, which expires at year’s end, by three years.

Supervisor Joan Hartmann said it was the hardest decision she’s made in office.

Supervisor Steve Lavagnino lamented the absence of white and black hats in the crowd to help him distinguish the good guys from the bad. Everyone in this fight, he noted, were good guys.

On one side of the room were the county’s public health chief, its emergency planning experts, and a host of emergencyroom doctors. They all testified that the current system was a model of efficiency, its cardiac arrest care the envy of the world. They warned of high failure rates by other agencies that sought to implement meaningful reforms via the bidding process.

Any changes — and they had 23 specific suggestions — should be made simply by renegotiating the existing contract, they argued.

Sitting on the other side of the room, and arguing the other side of the issue, was a historic coalition of every single fire chief in Santa Barbara County and every single firefighters’ union. The firefighter unions have long wanted to submit a bid for ambulance services, and in recent years, older chiefs — more resistant to the idea — have retired and been replaced by newer chiefs, several of whom come from agencies that operated ambulance services. AMR’s reputation for high-quality cardiac care, suggested Santa Barbara City Fire Chief Eric Nickel, was due in significant measure to the firefighters who show up as a matter of

U

course to most emergency calls for service.

Supervisor Peter Adam led the charge for change. “I don’t see how in the heck we go 40 years without a bid,” he demanded. “It would be irresponsible of me as an elected official to not allow a bid.”

Supervisor Das Williams, who frequently finds himself at odds with Adam, concurred.

He praised AMR for the high quality of service it provided but said the fundamental package the company provided needed to be changed. The cost per ride, about $2,500, was prohibitively high for too many in the community, he objected. “When I grew up, calling an ambulance was tantamount to bankruptcy,” Williams said. When he needed sudden medical attention, Williams knew better than to call AMR. “You walk there, you drive there, you take a bus,” he said.

Supervisor Hartmann praised AMR but also described it as a “Cadillac system,” meaning the level of care and expertise provided — and charged for — often exceeded the actual need.

AMR executive Dave Schierman responded to aspersions cast by a few union speakers, who suggested local dollars were going into the pockets of outof-state corporations. He noted he’s lived in Santa Barbara long enough to have met his wife and raised their two children here. Schierman said AMR collects only 25 percent of what it actually bills.

Government payment plans— like MediCal and Medicare — cap reimbursement well below the billing rate, as do many private insurance carriers. Many customers simply don’t pay; those that do are charged more.

Schierman said that the more formalized bidding process discourages the level of innovation and flexibility needed to make changes more easily allowed by renegotiating the current contract, as did a host of county administrators. But once the bidding process is underway, AMR will be able to submit a competitive bid. In communities where firefighting agencies have gotten such contracts, he noted, they often have subcontracted with AMR to provide the actual service. n

hree candidates are vying to represent the Eastside’s District 1 on the Santa Barbara City Council this year. Santa Barbara’s political focus is now hyperlocal since the city switched from at-large to district elections four years ago. The two main problems discussed by all three District 1 candidates are homelessness and affordable housing. Incumbent Jason Dominguez, community advocate Alejandra Gutierrez, and sixth-time runner Cruzito Herrera Cruz share their plans to tackle these and smaller, Eastside-specific issues below.

– Alejandra Gutierrez

‘My vision is to have other cities come here and want to learn how Santa Barbara does it.’

JASON DOMINGUEZ

The incumbent usually has a better shot getting reelected, but Jason Dominguez is known as the council contrarian who has a record of battling Mayor Cathy Murillo, and though he is a Democrat, he has never been endorsed by the party.

Despite this, he has garnered a large support base and is endorsed by three former mayors: Sheila Lodge, Hal Conklin, and Helene Schneider. He says he doesn’t follow party lines, instead voting for “commonsense solutions.” He attributes his law degrees with teaching him to “stand up for what is right” regardless of outside interests.

Compared to the other two candidates, Dominguez has a lengthy, impressive résumé.

He worked for the L.A. City Attorney, the California Attorney General, California Rural 14

THE INDEPENDENT

EASTSIDE SHOWDOWN: Incumbent Councilmember Jason Dominguez is being challenged by community advocate Alejandra Gutierrez and sixth-time runner Cruzito Cruz to represent District 1 for a five-year term on the City Council.

“They are highly deferential to staff,” Dominguez said. “If staff is leading, they will follow.”

Dominguez said 2,000 more units could easily be built on State Street, approximately 200 units per block for 10 blocks, give or take.

As for parking, he said the city lots could be used for night parking and most tenants would move their cars during the day for work but otherwise could pay a fee to park during the day.

They could also use a parking app, he suggested, where drivers could search for nearby spots in business parking lots that are only used 40 hours a week, and the spots could be temporarily rented through the app during the closed business hours.

“My vision is to have other cities come here and want to learn how Santa Barbara does it,” he said. “We don’t have that right now.”

Dominguez also announced he’s running for the 37th State Assembly District, a move his opponents call proof of his lack of dedication to the Eastside District and its constituents.

“I can do just as much if not more from Sacramento,” he said. “I have gone door to door and talked to voters, and they don’t have an issue with it. This is honestly typical; the only difference with me is I’m open and tell people about my goal.”

Legal Assistance, Legal Aid Foundation, New Civic Forum, and the United Nations as a prosecutor for war crimes in Rwanda and Yugoslavia. He graduated from Stanford University, received his law degree at UC Berkeley, and earned a master’s degree in environmental law from Heidelberg University in Germany.

“The council used to work to get a unanimous vote by compromising,” Dominguez said. “Now if there’s four votes on an issue, we just push it through without finding a compromise. City Council works the best when you get seven members to compromise and agree on an issue.”

This stance, he explained, is why he is typi-

cally seen as the outsider among his fellow councilmembers. He won’t vote for something just because it aligns with party interests or is recommended by city staff.

When it comes to homelessness, he wants to imitate Oxnard’s model, which includes a full-time staff member dedicated to finding solutions for the issue. So far, the council has not taken up this plan. “Whether I get reelected or not,” he said, “I am pretty close to just forming my own volunteer homeless committee if the council doesn’t support it.”

When it comes to housing, Dominguez has tangible ideas. He was always critical of the Average Unit-size Density (AUD) Program, which miserably failed in its effort to create affordable rental units. The program incentivizes developers to build more units by allowing them to construct more units if they built rental apartments. Although over 200 units have been built so far, the rents are market-rate and unaffordable to most middle-income families.

The council recently passed an inclusionary housing ordinance to fix the AUD issue, requiring 10 percent of new rental housing units built to be set aside for moderate-income tenants, although Dominguez wanted 15 percent. With the new ordinance in place, building housing on State Street is the answer, he said. He believes other councilmembers aren’t jumping at the idea because city staff isn’t leading the charge.

ALEJANDRA GUTIERREZ Not yet well-known in political circles, Alejandra Gutierrez is certainly backed by many established politicians. In addition to the mayor and the Santa Barbara Democratic Party, she has five county supervisors, the Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee, current councilmember Oscar Gutierrez, and school boardmember Kate Ford, among others, endorsing her.

Because of her work as director of the Franklin Service Center, Gutierrez said, she already works with local government on a daily basis to provide the services to the parents and kids who use it. She said Santa Barbara is the “number-one city for nonprofits,” and she wants to utilize that by linking them with community needs through her position

NEWS of the WEEK CONT’D “The population I serve is Latino, lowincome, and first-generation college student,” Gutierrez said. The center, located at Franklin Elementary on the Eastside, connects residents with resourcessuch as CADA, United Way, CalFresh, SBCC English classes, Planned Parenthood, COAST, the Santa Barbara Foodbank, sliding-scale medical services, and more.

“I went through it; I grew up in these streets as a low-income Latina. I can talk to residents in a way other people can’t,” she said. This is her greatest advantage over incumbent Dominguez, who grew up in Los Angeles and doesn’t have nearly as deep a connection to the people of District 1, despite his four years in office.

She also discussed gang culture on the Eastside when it was at its peak in the ’90s when she was growing up. Although gang violence has decreased in recent years, it is still one of the major issues of her campaign.

Gang violence comes in waves, she said, and “just because the numbers have gone down doesn’t mean the problem is gone.”

This is a very specific issue to District 1 and less of a concern to the council as a whole.

“I went door to door at the Punta Gorda Trailer Park, and they’ve had a lot of [gang] stabbings,” Gutierrez said. “Most of them didn’t even know who Jason is. I will help them organize and give them a voice to stop the violence, but they also need to get involved. I don’t sugarcoat things.”

She said many constituents on the Eastside don’t vote, show up for public comment, or get involved with local politics, but she is aiming to change that. Her first campaign donation, $20, came from one of her previous students who lives on the Eastside. He told her he had never voted before, but seeing her run inspired him to register.

When it comes to housing and homelessness, she, like Dominguez, wishes the inclusionary housing ordinance was higher than 10 percent, but she doesn’t agree that State Street is the right spot.

“Sure, State is an option, but we need to be more creative than that,” she said. She also emphasized that affordability isn’t the only housing issue. “Safe housing is a crisis. People in the Eastside are afraid to complain to their landlords about cockroaches. We need safer housing.”

Gutierrez also said the City Council vote to close all city parks half an hour after sunset and to ban adults from the designated children’s play areas in all parks with playgrounds or pools unless they’re with a child 12 years or younger is “completely ridiculous. Eastside residents don’t have backyards or front yards. Parks are where they go to socialize and be with friends and family.” (Dominguez voted against this saying each park should be treated separately.)

No matter what, win or lose, Gutierrez said her campaign will inspire young people to run.

‘I have this crazy, wild idea that a community man can get elected without money.’

– Cruzito Herrera Cruz

CRUZITO HERRERA CRUZ

“The sixth time’s the charm” is Cruzito Cruz’s 2019 campaign motto. He ran unsuccessfully in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015.

He’s been seen as more of a symbolic candidate than a serious one because of his unorthodox campaign strategies, or lack thereof. He’s never raised money for any of his campaigns, for example, and he is rarely seen going door to door in the district. He is also the only candidate without a campaign website.

“I’ve never asked for political contributions because I have this crazy, wild idea that a community man can get elected without money,” Cruz said. “I know it’s idealist, but I’m determined to win one day.”

Cruz was one of the original plaintiffs who sued City Hall for violating the California Voting Rights Act in 2015. The case eventually won, sparking the city’s switch to district elections, though Cruz dropped out of the suit before a court decision was reached.

A self-described Chicano feminist, Cruz said empowering the constituents of District 1 and giving them a voice is a high priority. He, like Gutierrez, grew up on the Eastside and is socially connected to the voters. He doesn’t see gang violence as the district’s biggest issue, though. To him, Eastside residents most need to see Milpas Street “beautified and improved.”

He is an advocate for creating mixeduse rental housing developments along the Milpas corridor and State Street in an effort to “bring economic vitality to the district.”

When asked what housing ideas set him apart from Dominguez or Gutierrez, he said his study of past city budgets and “welldocumented understanding” of the housing crisis gives him a deeper knowledge that his opponents don’t have.

The League of Women Voters is holding a District 1 candidate forum Thursday, October 3 at the Eastside Library. All three candidates will attend, and livestream information can be found at my.lwv.org/california/santa-barbara.

PEACH THIS: It was little over a year ago I got to share a lunch with Joe Wilson, the

onetime Isla Vista party animal, muchdecorated former career diplomat, and high-octane whistleblower at a sushi bar in a Goleta strip mall. At the time, I was expecting there’d be other such meals, but last weekend he died, succumbing to total organ failure. Wilson — then looking to land a teaching gig at UCSB, from which he graduated in 1972 — combined serious badass swagger with equally serious realworld diplomatic experience. He called it “sand in his shoes.”

Wilson found stupidity morally offensive and was as quick to drop F-bombs as he was back in 1990 when Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, who had just invaded Iraq, threatened to hang Wilson — then stationed in Bagdad — if he sheltered foreign nationals in the American embassy. In response, Wilson called a press conference to which he famously showed up wearing a noose around his neck. “If the choice is to allow American citizens to be taken hostage or to be executed,” Wilson declared, “I will bring my own fucking rope.” For this, Wilson was given a medal of commendation by then President George Bush, who launched the first war against Iraq.

Twelve years later, the CIA dispatched Wilson — who’d served in five African nations throughout his career — to inves-

Bark Not, Want Not

tigate claims that Hussein was attempting to procure weapons-grade uranium from the West African country of Niger. George Bush’s son then occupied the White House and was itching to launch another war against Iraq in the wake of 9/11. Wilson spent eight days drinking tea with everyone he knew in Niger and concluded there was no evidence to substantiate the claim.

That did not stop President Bush from saying exactly the opposite in his now infamous 2003 State of the Union address. In March, the United States declared a stupid war against the wrong enemy at the wrong time for all the wrong reasons. We are still paying the price.

Wilson responded in painfully blunt, undiplomatic language, accusing Bush of waging war “under false pretenses.” And he did so in a New York Times op-ed. The White House retaliated by leaking that Wilson’s wife — Valerie Plame — was a covert operative for the CIA. Exposing covert CIA officers is a serious crime. White House henchman Scooter Libby ultimately went to jail for it. President Donald Trump pardoned Libby. He did not know Libby, nor did he know the facts of the case. They were beside the point.

I’d suggest the facts are equally irrelevant when it comes to the case for impeachment. The only thing that matters is how the prospect of impeachment plays with voters in the key swing states

of Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Nevada. I don’t care what the national polls say; after all, Trump “lost” the national election by three million votes. Presidents, we need to remember, are not elected nationally; they are elected state by state.

I was struck by how few governors attended a recent gathering of Midwestern governors to discuss impeachment. Most shied away from expressing any definite opinion. None were eager to appear on camera, instead sending out a written statement delivered by a media spokesperson.

Maybe there’s a reason.

Equally irrelevant, I would argue, is the “right thing,” whatever that is, when it comes to Trump and impeachment. Whatever the line is, clearly, he’s crossed it too many times to count. But any impeachment bill will die a thousand deaths when it gets to the Senate. So why go there? There are those who insist such crass political calculations must play second fiddle to doing “the right thing.” I get it, but only sort of.

More, I get that Trump raised $8.5 million in campaign donations in just two days after impeachment proceedings were announced. In one week, he received 50,000 small-ball donations. If you’re going to poke the bear, you’d better have a pretty big gun.

Joe Biden, the Democrats’ best chance at unseating Trump, is a glass jaw wait-

ing to be shattered. The $850,000 Biden’s

son was paid by a corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company will be just the ball-peen hammer Trump needs. In the end, the facts — which are, in fact, on Biden’s side — will not matter. What will matter are the “facts” presented in the Facebook ads that Trump is buying at a clip of $2.1 million a week.

(By contrast, Biden has spent $100,000 on Facebook.) When John Kerry — a genuine, certified, and decorated war hero — challenged George Bush II in the 2004 presidential election, the dark forces backing Bush — a certified draft dodger — attacked Kerry’s military record. Eventually, the lies were exposed. But not before Bush won.

Admittedly, when I hear “the right thing,” I reach for my gun. For me, it’s what they call a trigger phrase. Back in 2000, the people backing Third Party spoiler Ralph Nader also talked about doing the “right thing.” But if not for the 97,000 votes Nader won in Florida, the Democratic candidate Al Gore would have won that election — not George W. Bush. I don’t pretend to know how Gore would have reacted to 9/11, but I’m pretty certain he wouldn’t have lied to wage war against Iraq. Joe Wilson, in that scenario, would never have had to debunk phony threats.

Do the right thing? We’re still paying the price.

Rest in peace, Joe Wilson.

Awful Appliance Tales

The Living piece last week “Home Depot Horror Story” struck a common chord among Facebook readers: Meghan Avis The worst! I do not understand how one can purchase a top of the line washer/ dryer from what should be a reputable establishment (Home Depot) and get such terrible customer service. When our washer broke, it took so many calls and almost a month to fix it. • Rob Wilkinson We had the same ugly experience on a new washing machine. After flood and balance problems, it died. Home Depot referred me to the manufacturer and refused to offer any form of help. • Monte Wilson I, too, had a similar experience with Home Depot. Buyer beware!

Stephen Black Go through your credit card, get the transaction reversed. They may be more attentive when they realize you have some financial leverage. Also look into the state’s lemon laws. It was reviews like this that caused us to avoid Home Depot and go to Costco for a new washer / dryer earlier this year.

Patrick Clark I bought a Maytag Bravos XL set from Home Depot, and I’m very pleased with them. • Tyler Tomblin We bought a Maytag set of washer/dryer, and we replaced the washer after two years and the dryer has been repaired five times. • Seth Reid We just had an equally painful experience buying a fridge from Best Buy. Oh, to dream of Sears.

Police on the Move

A

s a deputy probation officer in Ventura County in the 1990s, I regularly frequented state-of-the-art, modern police headquarters in Oxnard, Ventura, and Simi Valley. I was appalled the first time I toured the Santa Barbara Police Department following my appointment to the Fire and Police Commission in 1994, where I served until 2001.

Most police stations in modern cities have been transformed into welcoming centers in the heart of a community — with rooms for public meetings, safe spaces for victims and witnesses, close proximity to courts and public safety partners — and working conditions that reflect the demands of the 21st century. In 1999, I worked on Measure R99, the unsuccessful initiative to build a new station. Fast forward to 2019, I am saddened to see that there is even a question among some in the community that the new police station must be the council’s highest priority.

The site of a farmers’ market in a parking lot may be moved with very little of its essence lost. Sadly, in this case what cannot be regained are the decades of poor working conditions that our police employees have endured — diligently, because they are professionals.

f the new police station were built at the Cota Street Lot as proposed by Santa Barbara’s City Council on September 17, this series of events would unfold: First, the police will remain in a seismically unsafe and functionally difficult work environment for the next four-six years as the new building is constructed. They will then be moved into a space directly adjacent to a flood zone — according to the FEMA map on the S.B. City website — surrounded on three sides by high water in the event of flooding. Low-income housing might be built on top of the contaminated ground of the current police headquarters without remediation.

The Farmers’ Market will be displaced into an uncertain future.

It is not clear what the good part of this plan is. We must search for an alternative. Moving the police to a safe and functional temporary location will allow time to reconsider this process and make sure that the final decision is one that has full sup—Noey Turk, port from the community.

¶ Though last week’s news item “The Vaccination Dilemma” stated measles was “eradicated” in 2000, the correct word is “eliminated.” ¶ A story about the Goleta water moratorium in last week’s news section incorrectly stated that the Montecito Water District has applied for a groundwater injection permit from the state. It has not applied for such a permit.

Jennie Olivas Guillen

Antonio Cardona

Jennie Olivas Guillen passed away peacefully on September 18, 2019 at the age of 97.

She was born on December 27, 1921 in Lankershim, California which is now known as North Hollywood. Jennie lived all throughout the Los Angeles region working as a migrant farmer all over California before permanently settling down in Goleta and Santa Ynez. She had 11 children, 19 grandchildren, 34 great- grandchildren and 13 great-great grandchildren.

Jennie dedicated her life to bettering her community and to those around her. She did many things throughout her long life. Jennie was one of the first Spanish translators at General Hospital in Santa Barbara.

She was a liaison between the Bureau of Indian affairs and the Chumash Tribe, making her an integral part in helping her people on the Chumash Reservation receive running water, adequate housing and healthcare. She helped to establish the original Chumash Bingo Hall, which is now the Chumash Casino.

Jennie was an amazing woman that devoted her life to helping make others’ lives better by working to establish a dental clinic on Milpas St. in Santa Barbara for low income families. She was also one of the founding members of the Community Action Commission (CAC) of Santa Barbara.

Jennie also worked at La Casa De La Raza handing out food stamps to the poor and she sat on the board for low income housing in Goleta.

While Jennie will be greatly missed by her family and friends the impact that she made for future generations will never be forgotten.

She is survived by children; Henry Cruz (Columba), Steve Guillen (Becky), Dennis Guillen, Paulette Barrios (Leonard), Benny Guillen, and Jenny Reyes (Rick). She is preceded in death by her daughter; Judy Howe and son’s; Nicky Guillen, Michael Cruz, Robert Cruz and Arthur Cruz.

Loper Funeral Chapel, Director

Antonio Cardona, age 90 of Palm Desert, CA passed away peacefully on August 21, 2019.

We will miss his sharp mind, devotion to family and tireless generosity.

Antonio, the oldest son of Fortunato and Domitila Cardona was born and raised with his two siblings, Nicholas and Carolina, in Santa Barbara.

Antonio left Santa Barbara High School and joined the US Navy where he served for five years during the Korean War. He returned to California on the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Boxer in his dress whites sailing under the Golden Gate bridge to the tune of “California here I come”.

After an honorable discharge, he returned to Santa Barbara where he met and later married a young teacher, Lois Byllesby. It is not entirely clear if he really believed he would become superman if he married a girl named Lois, or if he had other reasons. Antonio graduated from Santa Barbara City College, UCSB and USC to become a teacher, like Lois.

He taught English as a second language after graduation and went on to have a long career in education. He served as a teacher in the Santa Barbara city schools (Franklin and Peabody) and then as principal in elementary and high schools in Leone (American Samoa), Indio (California), Dhahran, Khamis Mushyt, KKMC (Saudi Arabia), and Buenos Aires (Argentina). He detoured into higher levels of educational administration in Hanford, California where he worked as one of the first directors of migrant education and later in American Samoa where he helped to found the first institution of higher education on the islands, American Samoa Community College. Some notable achievements in his career occurred when he oversaw the start of the legendary Leone Lions football program, and helped to develop one of the first systems to track migrant children through schools so that their records could move with them.

Antonio loved his life, his friends and his family. He and Lois wanted to see the world, so they did. He wasn’t crazy about gardening, hair in curlers or cats although he “made excep-

Glenn Randle Hall 04/21/1927-9/9/2019

Glenn Hall was born in Rockford, Illinois to Alonzo and Mary (Roush) Hall. He was the youngest of four children. At the age of 7 he moved to Ventura with his parents and sister Marion. They soon settled in Santa Barbara.

Between his junior and senior years at SBHS, he joined the service at 17. He recalled the day he and the other boys joined. All the students were in Peabody Stadium with the school band playing and the girls cheering. While in the Merchant Marines, he traveled around the world.

When the war was over and he returned, he finished high school. He became an apprentice then journeyman for Oliver Plumbing, which he later purchased from Mr. Oliver. Glenn retired and sold the business 42 years later.

He met Peggy Loch and they married in 1950. Their children are Laurie (Dennis Krueger) Thurber and Susan (Rick) Graff. Their grandchildren are Holly (Ryan) Palmerston, Kara (Frank) Hale, Erica Graff, Brandon (Kari) McCulley, and Evan (Anika) McCulley. They have 9 great grandchildren.

Peggy and Glenn loved traveling. They made several trips to the British Isles, Europe, the Caribbean, as well as in the US. They often brought their children and grandchildren with them.

Glenn was always active.

He was an avid golfer and was proud to say that he played twice at St. Andrew’s course in Scotland. He played his last round of golf at “Muni” at 92.

He also played beach volleyball at East Beach until he was 83. Every Sunday for 22 years

after beach volleyball, Glenn would meet Peggy at Brophy Brothers for clam chowder.

In recent years, he played water volleyball at Vista del Monte until a month before he passed.

Glenn and Peggy played cards every week with their life-long friends, many from their high school days.

Between these activities, Glenn always had a project he was working on.

Glenn will be remembered for his sense of humor, his stories, his positive attitude and generosity.

His grandchildren remember vacations and cruises, good advice, great stories, family dinners, learning to play cards, horse shows at Earl Warren, going to Brophy’s, sodas in the fridge, Billy Joel in the Cadillac CD player, peppermint breath spray in the glove compartment, bowls of ice cream, and (as adults) Glenn’s stuff drinks.

Glenn had two mottos: “Make Memories” and “Don’t Put Things Off ” We will be celebrating his life on Saturday, October 5 from 11:00am to 3:00pm at Mulligan’s at the Municipal Golf Course. In Lieu of flowers, make donations to Visiting Nurses and Hospice.

Nancy Franciose

9/10/1951 – 8/28/2019

Amazing woman was much more than my loving wife, but our 29 happy years together ended in the early hours of August 28th. Nancy Francioece passed away peacefully at home, her death caused by metastatic breast cancer complications. Born Nancy Anne Saavedra to parents Armand and Nora (née Felipe) in New York City, she had been a resident of Santa Barbara, CA for the last 10 years; but ever the city girl, Nancy always bragged about living in 4 of the 5 NYC boroughs. She was a precocious child and graduated from Martin Van Buren high school at 16. Nancy loved and studied theater, attending Nassau Community College plus CUNY Queens, and in small measure performed off Broadway plus summer stock. As well perforce, she worked in entertainment management for talent agents and MCA records in the city

for a few years. After winning a few thousand game show dollars, she escaped to the Green Mountains for some ski bum fun, living in Killington, VT for a couple of snow seasons.

A promotional marketing job in the record industry then brought her to Boston, necessitating radio station visits and enabling occasional limo rides with pop music stars. (e.g., Elton John & Loretta Lynn on different occasions). A next career change to the Airline Industry, Nancy worked for several airlines in various sales capacities for 12+ years while she called Marblehead, MA her home until 1991. She then wed a lucky Navy guy and moved west, first to San Diego California, then Whidbey Island, WA. It was there, at the Oak Harbor Playhouse, that she resurrected her stagecraft via acting & directing in Community Theater. Those seven shows in just over two years were followed by a move to Monterey, CA. and three more dramatic productions. Before moving to Santa Barbara, Nancy and her husband resided in the DC area of Northern Virginia, until their son graduated from prep school. Ascribing to the work hard & play hard ethos, Nancy was an enthusiastic world traveler. She also avidly enjoyed dancing, skiing, reading, photography, cooking, and gardening. In her varied life adventures, this wonderful and pragmatic woman was known as a “Go-To” reliable problem solver and a generous entertainer. Ever the chic dresser, she especially had a flair for scarves. Most of all, she was a determined force of nature, evidenced by her celebrating holidays in style, the results of remodeling several homes, her engaging stage presence, and her ever planning a next tourism expedition. Finally, always, and foremost, this beautiful woman zealously loved her family and friends. Her husband, Randy Franciose, her beloved son, Zachary Franciose, of Brooklyn, NY, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie Franciose of Denver, CO survive her. Her parents, her brother, Mandy Saavedra, and her 1st husband, Peter Miller, predeceased her. She will be laid to rest near her parents in Santa Barbara Cemetery and a private family memorial service will be held later this year.

Nancy Lee Knight was born in Ketchikan, Alaska on August 9, 1937, and was the daughter ofAstrid and Dewey Knight. She was one of three siblings, with one older sister and a younger brother, both deceased.

Nancy grew up in Ketchikan, where her father worked for the Dept. of Immigration & Naturalization DOJ, and her mother raised her and her siblings. At the age of 12, their family moved to Oakland, CA, where she attended middle and high school. Nancy attended U.C. Berkeley, from 1955-1959, and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1959. Nancy met the love of her life, Tom, the year before she graduated, and after his naval tour at sea in the Pacific, she married Ltjg.

Tom E. Christie on May 17, 1959.

Soon after, they moved to Baltimore, MD and spent two years in the East. Moving back to CA in 1961, Tom began working for the family business and Nancy went on to raise their three children.

Eric William Braun 8/27/1949 – 9/11/2019

Eric William Braun (Rick) was born August 27, 1949 in Los Angeles, California. He passed away in his sleep September 11, 2019 in Santa Barbara, California. He was married on the lam in Texas to Peggy Siler, June 25, 1985. They divorced six years later. Rick lived his eclectic life to the fullest. He started out without proper attire at Makena Beach while avoiding the issue of Vietnam. Upon returning to the mainland, he went to work as a roadie for Little Feat, becoming the road manager and living by The Dixie Chicken album cover mantra “if it runs amok call the duck.” After dabbling in the import/ export and antiques business, he took a stress-free vacation at Lompoc.

Rick could take leftovers and make an epicurean delight. He pursued his passion for fine food by embracing a culinary career.

He started as a sous chef at Oysters restaurant, Santa Barbara, in 1990. He went on to cook at and manage fine dining establishments including Edgewood Tahoe, TPC Sawgrass, Flamingo Hilton Reno, Montreaux Golf and Country Club Reno, Dargan’s Santa Barbara and Ventura and the last 12 years as Executive Chef at Joe’s and the personal chef to owner Gene Montesano. He was happy developing Joe’s Café into a culinary staple of Santa Barbara.

Rick was a brilliant chef who impressed his patrons with unusual and delicious food pairings. He used unconventional flavors together to tease the palate from a base of the fundamental ingredients of butter, cream and salt. His favorite chef experience was preparing a gourmet meal for friends at home.

He organized the entire evening: purchasing the freshest ingredients, pairing the beverages, planning the courses and timing, including a spectacular desert and a McCallan 12 finish. It was an evening of friends, food, experiences, and conversation as Rick explained what was served, how the ingredients and sauces were prepared, where it was caught, ranched, farmed and what it was doing on your palate.

Rick loved sports. He easily mixed his love for golf with the country club restaurants he worked at. He also liked surfing and couch surfing football and basketball. Rick took friends and relatives around the world under the guise of studying food. Rick, family, and friends had the times of their lives traveling and eating in Costa Rica, Thailand, Ecuador, Panama and his latest favorite Cuba. The recipes he created with these flavors for his menus are delicious.

He is survived by his mother Virginia (Dittmar) Braun, brother Andy Braun (Charlene), sisters Carlyn Moreno (David), and Kim Flora (Jim) and his spoiled nieces and nephews Ben Curley, Reggie Braun (Sorrel), Tess Braun, Ricky Braun, Shannon and Jesse Flora, Matt Gallagher and a large extended family.

Gone too soon. He will be missed by family and friends who will attempt to carry on his way in his memory. Celebration of Life October 24, 5:00, Joe’s Café, Santa Barbara, Ca. RSVP (Andy) 530.307.7777.

Adrian Peyrat

3/11/1936 – 9/21/2019

Retired elementary school teacher Adrian Peyrat, of Goleta, passed away unexpectedly on September 21, 2019. Born in Peoria, IL, on March 11, 1936, to Maurine Whitney Peyrat and Paul Auguste Peyrat, Adrian joined his older brother Paul and was the beloved baby of the family until his dastardly sister Elaine came along, making him the middle child.

Ade grew up in Minneapolis, MN. He loved dogs, especially his family’s German Shepherds (all named Susie). In his late teens he enjoyed his summers leading wilderness canoeing adventures at YMCA Camp Menogyn.

While at the University of Minnesota, he joined three pals in making a memorable month-long 510-mile canoe trip navigating an “impossible” river-lake chain to the Hudson Bay, a life changing experience.

Ade spent two years in the Navy, returning to graduate from the Univ. of MN in 1960 with a degree in Education, then began his teaching career in Yakutat, Alaska. He subbed briefly in Pasadena, CA, and then came to Santa Barbara where he taught at Cathedral Oaks and El Camino schools.

In 1967 he married Gloria Nakagawa. Together they moved to Alaska, where he taught for a year at a logging camp in Cape Pole, before they traveled for nine months throughout Europe in a new VW pop-top camper. Upon their return, Ade taught at Adams School and then at every elementary school in the Goleta Union School District (11 years at La Patera). Over the course of his career he taught every grade as well as two years in Special Education. He took great joy in the growth and success of his students, and was happy when former students would

chat with him about how much they enjoyed their experience in his class. After his retirement in 1993, he continued to tutor students and volunteer at Kellogg.

Ade was an excellent golfer and secured his dream retirement job as Head Marshal at Sandpiper (where he held two club championships). He served on the Board of Directors for Santa Barbara Junior Golf and was past president of the Men’s Club at both Sandpiper and the Santa Barbara municipal course. In more recent years he played at Glen Annie.

In the 1980s his son joined him at the pick-up basketball games on the Kellogg courts. When his daughter was young he coached her softball team. In the last 10 years he added weekly tennis to his routine.

Ade will be remembered as a kind and caring family man with a great sense of humor, who loved kids, dogs, puns, chocolate chip cookies, and tending to his garden.

He never had a shortage of dad jokes, stories of Alaska or fond memories of his students. He was a favorite teacher to many and had a lasting impact on all who knew him.

Adrian is survived by his wife Gloria; son Alan (Lily), grandchildren Dev, Nina and Digen; daughter Ann, granddogs Rosebud and Chloe; brother Paul Peyrat (Judy, deceased); sister Elaine Jones (Bill); brother-in-laws Morio Nakagawa (Johanna) and Richard Nakagawa; nieces and nephews Tricia, Susan, Betsy, Todd, Kim, Jon, Lea, and their families.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Frog Bar & Grill at the Glen Annie Golf Club in Goleta on Sunday, October 20, from 2 to 4 pm.

In lieu of flowers, friends are encouraged to donate to their local school’s PTA to support education, or to DAWG, 5480 Overpass Road, SB, CA 93111.

A Life Well Lived COURTESY PHOTOS

BY C AT H Y P O L L O C K obert Henning, gifted with abun-

dant intelligence, gentle wit, and refined sensibility, died on June 7, 2019, at Serenity House, from complications following surgery. He led a fascinating, highly accomplished life, with his love of art, music, and books as guiding lights. Santa Barbara knew him best as the chief curator of the city’s Museum of Art (SBMA) for more than two decades before he retired in 2003.

Robert’s education included undergraduate studies at Kenyon College and Ohio State University; graduate studies at University of California, Berkeley, where he received a Master of Arts and was awarded a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship; a second MA degree from Case Western Reserve, where he completed an internship at the Cleveland Museum of Art; and lastly, at the Getty Museum Management Institute.

His long career as an art historian, curator, and museum administrator began with his appointment as gallery manager/curator at Ohio State University in 1969 and then as curator of the Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester in 1972, followed by AN EYE FOR BEAUTY: As curator of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Robert Henning formed strong relationships with collectors, artists, colleagues, and students the curatorship at the Springfield Museum alike.

WILDERNESS YOUTH PROJECT GROWS UP

school dropouts finding purpose. Quiet gang members opening up to a crowd after a night under the stars. Image-conscious teenage girls letting their hair down to slide down waterfalls. Eightyear-olds realizing that they are on their first adventure.

These are all true tales from the Wilderness Youth Project, a nonprofit launched in Santa Barbara 20 years ago to take our desk-bound children outside and teach them all of the wonderful lessons offered by the classroom of nature.

Through after-school programs, summer camps, and more, WYP (pronounced “whip”) was quickly embraced

by Santa Barbara parents seeking to open their kids’ eyes to the great outdoors.

Then, in 2008, a decade into WYP’s existence, Richard Louv wrote Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, enlightening the masses about why there is so much for kids to learn outside. Suddenly, WYP was a cutting-edge program. Its popularity boomed.

In the years since, WYP matured in major ways. Today, with a larger staff and stable funding (much of it from the Audacious Foundation), WYP serves more than 500 public elementary school students each year in their Bridge to Nature program, and that’s on top of the after-school, summer camp, preschool, and homeschool offerings. Altogether, running from toddlers to high schoolers, more than one thousand children and teenagers experience the power of WYP annually.

I’ve seen the impact firsthand, as both of my children have participated throughout the years.

Just this past summer, my 7-year-old daughter, Madeline, did a week of WYP camp. Each afternoon, when she returned from what felt like serious adventures — swimming in the Santa Ynez River, wading into the waves at Tajiguas Beach, playing hide-and-seek at Lake Los Carneros — Madeline seemed reinvigorated by the day’s quest, enlightened about something new, and empowered to be herself.

in Vermont before moving west. “It was really love at first sight. I was able to jump right in.”

Right away, there were two issues to tackle. One was how to better partner with public schools, and the other was how to ensure that WYP would serve all of Santa Barbara, not just those who could afford it.

“WYP was growing fast, even during the economic downturn,” said Lindsey of what happened after Louv’s book came out. “It was suddenly very vogue to give our kids unstructured outdoor time, and nobody was doing it better than us. But it also came with a bit of gentrification.

Our leadership team of Erika Lindemann, Dan Fontaine, and Michelle Howard took a look around and said, ‘We

HOW WYP GREW Last week, WYP’s director of school programs, Andrew Lindsey, stopped by my house to explain how the organization has evolved since he started working there 10 years ago. “I found WYP in 2009,” said Lindsey, who was a teacher GUIDING GUY: Andrew Lindsey leads a student down a bluff toward the beach.

need to start making efforts to give our service to people who reflect the actual demographics of Santa Barbara.’ ” They realized that if a kid doesn’t have an available ride from school to Tucker’s Grove, they couldn’t participate. “So we just removed that obstacle,” said Lindsey.

“We started meeting at McKinley School. The bridges just started to build.” Next came two years at Adams School and then Adelante Charter School, a relationship that continues into its eighth year.

Lindsey recalls realizing that these were the first times that WYP was mandatory, not an option. “If you’re in Miss Ayala’s 5th-grade class, you were coming out with us,” he explained. “It wasn’t until Mario Mendez and I were walking up to the classroom that it dawned on us that this is the first time a kid was being made to go on WYP as opposed to choosing it. We were struck wondering if every kid will like Wilderness Youth Project. It turned out, yes.”

That first day, he recalls taking kids off-trail and down San Antonio Creek toward Tucker’s Grove. “There were C O N T I N U E D >>>

tears. There was joy. There was everything,” he said.

“It was like a Broadway musical. We had it all. Then we were off and running.”

With the support of the Audacious Foundation — and an internal goal to reach every school with more than 50 percent of students receiving free or reduced lunches — WYP expanded to McKinley, Adams, Franklin, Monroe, and Cleveland, as well as Peabody, S.B. Community Academy, Notre Dame, and St. Raphael. (They’re still working on Harding.)

“There is still way more to do in regards to deepening those community ties, but we’re definitely serving all of those communities now,” he said. “We’re doing the

mystery for as complex as you can think. There is a physical challenge that hits you right at your level. It doesn’t matter if I take 10 different kids of all different abilities — every one of them will find the thing that is challenging to them and supportive to them.

The natural world makes no boundaries between what might be physical or mental stimulation. It’s seamless.”

And then there is WYP’s tight ratio of kids to teachers, usually about four to one. “That means there is almost always a considerate, capable mentor available to listen to the kids think about the world — having that relational intimacy is priceless,” said Lindsey. “Before anything else, we’re an organization built on relationships. It just so happens that doing that work outdoors is the best place to do it.

’

WHY WYP WORKS Why does the WYP approach work so well for all types of kids? Lindsey believes two things are at play.

“One is the innate magic of places of wild character,” he explained. “When you are in a place of robust, wild character, there is a vitality that is present that speaks directly to kids. There is a variability that exists in the landscape that allows a kid to enter that world, wherever the kid is at. There is a true

WHAT’S NEXT FOR WYP

As to the future, WYP is in a reflective stage after 10 years of “extreme” growth, working on the next strategic plan. “The language we’re using is, ‘Let’s hit pause. Let’s deepen what we’re doing before we think about getting bigger. Let’s make sure that, over these 10 years, we didn’t leave behind the most important things,’ ” explained Lindsey.

“That is our vision for the next couple years, really just reexamining and making sure we’re still serving all of the people with as much integrity to our mission as we originally did when it was just a few kids after school.”

When it comes to the public-school programs, Lindsey sees opportunity for growth in parental involvement as well as in assessing WYP’s impacts. But the benefits of the approach are no longer a question.

“I believe we’ve come to a place where we should no longer be asked to demonstrate why the outdoors is good for kids,” he said. “Nobody has ever proved that it isn’t. Anyone who’s ever seen a kid outdoors has seen that it’s a good fit.

We need to stop worrying about proving that it’s good and start working more on what we can do with this potential, like gravity.”

Maya Shoemaker, 28, participant and staff, now attending grad school at Southern Oregon University: “I struggled in high school, as many young people do, to function within a system I found oppressive and alienating,” said Shoemaker, who left during her sophomore year and started volunteering with WYP. “I quickly saw the profound difference between children just entering the program and those who had participated for years. I became intrigued, and my academic choices were informed by the curiosities coming out of the work I was doing with WYP. I took classes in child development, environmental studies, communication — everything seemed to connect.”

She recalls one student who was prone to violent outbursts and had a hard time connecting to others when he started. “I was amazed, when I reconnected with him, to see how he had kept his wild nature but integrated fully into the community and was now a leader among the teens.”

Markets change, but our values remain the same.

Steve Glikbarg, 54, parent and donor: A real estate manager by day, Glikbarg recalls his kids benefiting from WYP’s small groups, with four children per teacher. “Maybe it is counterintuitive, but this actually allowed for more independence of the kids,” he said. “A kid or two could climb a boulder and explore off the path, and there was always an adult who could be there in an unobtrusive way to GOLETA let them do this.”

5757 Hollister Ave He wondered how this program could be made available to the wider public, and he helped support the growth to public schools.

“WYP slowly but surely expanded their program to the public schools without watering down the core part of the program.”

Glikbarg’s son Leo is 17 and is embarking on a five-day backpacking trip before starting college. “I honestly think that he’s going because of WYP,” said Glikbarg. “He is comfortable in and around nature in a way that so many teens (and adults) no longer are.

WYP also encouraged him to explore and take risks, which has paid off in his academics as well as personal life.”

& confessional yet reverential tones, said, ‘I think this is my first real adventure.’ And so begins every hero’s journey.”

Kathy Abney, retired principal of La Cuesta and Alta Vista high schools: When Abney started her job in 2000, WYP was already working with students in the district. “On one of the field trips to the front country, a number of La Cuesta students had the opportunity to splash in and go down the natural granite slides in the Seven Falls area,” she recalled. “Several female students [including Judith Lugo], always impeccably dressed and made up, came back from that trip totally drenched, having jumped into the water along with their male peers. They had an amazing time, never worried once about their appearance. It was at that point that I realized how much the WYP program resonated with these students who had no outdoor experiences to speak of and who were willing to let down their hair and be kids for a change.”

Lynn Shoemaker, 62, parent: Shoemaker’s daughter Maya started attending 15 years ago, and her 17-year-old son still participates and volunteers. “In contrast to the junior high school camping trip with lots of yelled rules about no knives, don’t get out of eyesight, and so on, on the WYP teen trip, the kids were asked if they had knives, then given one if they didn’t,” she explained. “They suggested that they stick together or let someone know if they were going on a wander on their own.

But then came a coyote call, and 20 well-camouflaged children and staff jumped out of the trees, bushes, and leaf litter. I felt like Dorothy in Oz when the flowers turn into munchkins.”

Chloe Glikbarg, 21, participant and volunteer, now student at Stanford University: “I think learning about nature is an incredibly important part of growing up, in part because it makes one much more grateful and thankful for what they have,” said Glikbarg. “Especially in today’s current state, with climate change and so many environmental disasters, it is not only important, but I would argue necessary, to have an understanding of our environment and its needs.

Without it, we are not well equipped to take care of our surroundings or make the necessary changes to prevent further environmental damage. WYP teaches its students how to be mindful, thoughtful, respectful citizens, both with each other and with the world around us.” ∆

Not About the Numbers: What Really Matters in How We Learn Paul Willis, Professor of English

5:30 p.m., Tuesday, October 15, 2019 University Club, 1332 Santa Barbara Street Free and open to the public. For information, call 565-6051.

Paul Willis, professor of English at Westmont, will read and discuss selections from his prize-winning collection “To Build a Trail: Essays on Curiosity, Love & Wonder.” When he set out to build a couple of miles of trail in the wilder parts of the Westmont campus, he had no idea t hat it would become a metaphor for a lifetime of teaching and learning. But curiosity, love, and wonder always take circuitous paths toward understanding. That is what he came to believe, and that is what has put him in conflict with present-day promoters of efficiency in education.

MEET JUNO, the Klepto Kitty

CAT BURGLAR: Juno’s owner Connie Geston has a collection of items that Juno “stole” from neighbors that continues to grow daily.

Juno now brings something home almost every day. Her latest loot count is more than 60 items, including a dozen rags, a safety vest, a belt, and a pair of baby leggings. She does her pilfering in secret, Geston said, though she seems to score most often in the morning soon after she’s let outside. A neighbor said he sometimes sees her dragging objects across their cul-de-sac in the Casitas Pass area of Carpinteria. “I am currently shopping for cat cams, since I have never really caught her in action,” said Geston.

Follow Juno on Instagram (@junothesmallcat), where she’s described as “Klepto Kitty by day, professional cuddler by night.”

ast year, the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation helped 180 Central Coast families with children battling cancer. It supported them, financially and emotionally, through the initial diagnosis, during treatment, and into recovery.

One of the recipients was 4-year-old Grace Sandoval. At 18 months, Grace’s parents, Karla and John Sandoval, noticed her displaying odd behavior.

Doctors said Grace had a type of cancer called ependymoma, a form of brain tumor, and she was rushed to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles for emergency surgery.

At the time, the family was living in Ventura and financially stable.

John worked a steady job, while Karla, who was expecting their fourth child, stayed home and cared for the kids. But with Grace’s diagnosis, John was forced to take months off of work, and the family eventually lost their home. Their future was dark and uncertain.

All sorts of stuff.

The little black-and-white rescue came from Los Angeles a few years ago and found her permanent home with Connie Geston. She’d originally been named Indiana (Jones) because she was so adventurous. “She was the most active from the litter,” said Geston. “We fell in love with her.”

Recently, out of the blue, Geston began noticing objects appearing in her backyard. Mostly gardening gloves. She thought maybe the neighbor kids were throwing them over the fence. “Little did I know, it was the beginning of Juno’s kleptomania adventures!” she said.

TACO WITH THAT BEER: Chef Ramon Velazquez (left) of Corazon Cocina teamed up with Preston Angell of Captain Fatty’s to offer tacos, tequila, beer, and more on at The Project Lower State Street. Popular dishes include the “Camote” taco (below), with sweet potatoes, salsa negra, nut salsa macha, queso fresco, roasted almonds, and red rose radish on a house-made blue corn tortilla.

Pairing Captain Fatty’s Beer with Corazon Cocina’s Mexican Food

Making

ivan.bar the Ultimate Snack

T

hree years ago, Santa Barbara software engineer Ivan

Pelly set out to create his own nutrition bar. He had three priorities: make it tasty, filling, and healthy.

“The catalyst for me was I had bought a box of tiny little snack bars from Trader Joe’s,” said Pelly, explaining that the box came with five bars. “I felt terrible that I ate them all in one sitting. I was still hungry, and I had wasted all of this packaging. Then I thought, ‘Screw it, I’m gonna do my own thing.’ ” After researching

BY MARISSA BRENNAN ingredients until he found a solid recipe, Pelly’s personal endeavor soon turned commercial when he realized others really liked his bars too. The ivan.bar was born, and it’s become a true family effort with help from his wife, Polly Pelly, and two sons, Oliver and Ashton. Oliver, a 19-year-old business student at Loyola Marymount University, helps with the website and online marketing. Ashton, a 16-year-old Bishop Garcia Diego High School student, helps with cooking and deliveries.

In early 2019, the Pelly family released their first flavor, macadamia nut. The bar is chewy, unique, and slightly sweet. A second flavor is in the works.

“I try a lot of different bars to see what’s good and what isn’t,” explained Pelly. “Most of them have the lowest common denominator of sugar, so they just appeal to everyone. They’re sweet, and usually too sweet. So these are sweet without being too sweet. They have a flavor that isn’t just sugar.”

The Pelly family is also focused on finding ways to make a social impact. “We’re researching avenues to incorporate more charitable aspects to the business,” said Pelly. “So that’s a strong desire, to have a moral compass as well as a culinary one.”

FOOD & DRINK

For a classic burger-and-beer pairing, take Captain Fatty’s West Coast–style Blue IPA and pair it with The Project Burger, which gets the Corazon treatment via house-made chorizo, melted Oaxaca cheese, farmers’ market fixings, and chile toreado mayo. For the more adventurous, the Octopus Burger is a must. The combination of seared Spanish octopus, tomaalking into The Project—the hybrid hangout toes, grilled red onion, lettuce, salsa verde, and chile of Captain Fatty’s Brewing Company and toreado aioli on a brioche bun blew me away.

Reader Tim says that the mobile caffeine dispensary opened on Sunday, September 29, which was also National Coffee Day. In addition to a drive-thru Starbucks, the new building is expected to house an ice cream shop, a sandwich shop, and office space. Tip: When you enter the parking lot, take an immediate right to enter the drivethru. It’s easy to miss.

YELLOW BELLY ANNIVERSARY: Yellow Belly’s coowner Tracy Clark let me know that the eatery at 2611 De la Vina Street is celebrating its fifth anniversary this weekend, offering $5 draft beers and $2 off all wine from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on October 5 and 6. The restaurant is now open for lunch on the weekends as well, serving the full menu of burgers, pizzas, and sandwiches, as well as some brunch items.

CHEF PASSINGS: Reader Primetime says that Joe’s Café head chef Rick Braun died recently. I’m told that he had been with the eatery for 15 years. … Chef Eddie Lino from Trattoria Grappolo in Santa Ynez also passed away in late September. “Eddie had a unique way of lighting up any room with his smile and joyful spirit,” says a GoFundMe page that’s raising money for his funeral expenses. “He worked hard and played hard, and he had a genuine love for life! As our way of paying tribute to Eddie’s bright, vibrant life, we would like to raise money to help send him home to his family in Toluca, Mexico.”

UPS, DOWNS, AND OTHER CHANGES: Reader Primetime says that the Goleta Coffee Company at 177 South Turnpike Road has new owners and that they’re going to be adding a special glutenfree kitchen soon. … Reader Gillian reports that the construction activity at Bristol Farms, which is set to replace Vons in La Cumbre Plaza, abruptly stopped last week. “The fencing is gone where all of their equipment was and the place is boarded up,” she wrote. “Curious to know what’s up?” … Reader Steve H. saw a sign posted at 23 Canon Perdido Street that says Sevtap Cellars has applied for an ABC license to operate a tasting room at that address. … Empress Palace at 2251 Las Positas Road, which closed in May of last year, is being replaced by Meet Up Chinese.

Reader Beatrice says that they had soft opening last weekend. I am told that the owner said official opening was planned for October 1. …

Readers Mark and Cliff M. report that Pizza Guru, at 3534 State Street, may be closed, but I have yet to confirm that. If true, Cliff M. laments, “Big loss to the pizza loving community!”

KIM JOHNSON When did you realize that there was a disconnect between today’s youth and where our food comes from? I think the disconnect began with my

generation. I grew up as a child of the ’80s when TV dinners, packaged food, and sugary cereals were the norm for most households. As I got older, I realized that it’s typical for young people to think food comes from the grocery store, where produce is often packaged in plastic and shipped from far away.

My own agricultural literacy began here

CONT’D FROM P. 41

in Santa Barbara, where as a college student I worked at a local farm stand as well as at a small family-owned restaurant. These experiences opened my eyes to the amazing world of locally grown, seasonal produce, inspiring Jack and me to start our own garden at our Isla Vista rental. There is an incredible connection made when growing your own food, and for kids to have this opportunity starting at a young age is invaluable and will stay with them a lifetime.

AIASB’S ARCHITECTOUR 2019 FOCUSES ON PROJECTS THAT EITHER HOUSE ART OR ARE ART

L I F E COURTESY UCSB ARTS & LECTURES

Montecito Residence

T

hanks to the sudden sense of destiny that struck when the American frontier met its western limit on the shores of the Pacific, California became the world’s greatest competitive arena for the art of architecture. Mindful of the achievements of ancient Rome in shapArtisan ing land through roads, Court aqueducts, and bridges, and blessed with access to every major tradition of building in the Mediterranean along with the latest in construction technology, the artist/architects who designed Santa Barbara’s early landmarks — George Washington Smith, Bertram Goodhue, Lutah Maria Riggs, and Mary Craig, among others — all benefited from the notion that architecture was not only an art but the art form of the highest value when it comes to both summarizing and shaping human civilizations. They lived for the idea that a strong design could complete nature, rather than resist or despoil it.

On Saturday, October 5, the American Institute of Architects Santa Barbara branch will celebrate the art of architecture with its 11th anniversary ArchitecTour, which lasts from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. There will be an afterparty at SBCAST on Garden Street from 4-6 p.m. The tour is self-guided, but you can expect to encounter the architects and lots of other highly informed parties at More every stop along the way.

“Light” House This is one of the best ways to meet other people in Santa Barbara with either a professional interest

in or a personal passion for great architecture. Every time I have done the ArchitecTour, I have learned something not only new but important about the conditions that make our lives here possible and possibly beautiful.

The theme of the art of architecture has allowed the tour’s organizers to intertwine two major threads in our community’s pursuit of the ideal 21st-century life. One is the notion that buildings can themselves be art objects; the other is that some buildings should be built to conserve and display works of art. There’s also a third, particularly suggestive outlier, which is represented by two structures on the tour, and that is the idea that buildings support the activities of artisans.

The Artisan Court in downtown Santa Barbara is a City Housing Authority project that provides 55 affordable studio apartments to three groups of people: youths aging out of foster care; special-needs adults, including the formerly homeless; and lowincome downtown workers. Architects Christine Pierron and Mark Wieneke imagined the structure as a series of three courtyards where a population of artisans could live, meet, and constitute a viable

sub-community. If you have any interest in how Californians will respond to the largest public challenge of our era — equitable access to housing — then you need to see this project.

The new Direct Relief building in Goleta, also on the tour, is equally relevant to any discussion of public planning policy for the region going forward. Architects DMHA “healed” a former runway at the Santa Barbara Airport into a green structure that’s based on the environmental history of the slough from before 1900. The building uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure that Direct Relief will be able to deliver supplies to remote places as well as our immediate region even if catastrophe strikes and it must go off the grid for up to six months.

Six extraordinary private residential projects round out the tour’s 2019 offering, each of them with unusual features Las Palmas Residence guaranteed to generate interest and provoke animated discussion. AB Design, Barton Myers Associates, Blackbird, Thompson Naylor, and Stephen Olson are all represented in this thrilling set of contemporary homes. For a day at least, you can live the ultimate California dream by visiting the best examples of contemporary architecture in our region.

—Charles Donelan Participants can pick up their maps, apps, and wristbands at the organization’s headquarters at 229 E. Victoria Street 9:30-11a.m., Wednesday, October 2, through Friday, October 4, and on Saturday, the day of the tour, beginning at 9 a.m. In a new development, participants can also check in at locations on Ladera Lane in Montecito and in Goleta.

SANKAI JUKU This season, the UCSB Arts & Lectures Dance series will once again play host to some of the world’s most esteemed dance makers and productions. And opening the season with the globally revered and meditative style of Butoh dance company Sankai Juku, the stage has been set for a soulful introduction into the remarkable breadth of a highly anticipated series.

Developed in 1950s Japan as a revolt against the classical dance styles popular at the time, Butoh is a kinetic tribute to both the visceral and tactile elements of everyday life — a raw expression defying the demure and refined aesthetics saturating Japan’s dance culture.

Sankai Juku’s artistic director, Ushio Amagatsu, has become one of the genre’s most celebrated proponents, introducing the world to a striking and conceptual dance form created by his mentors Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno and once thought to be little more than fringe entertainment.

Just off the river Seine on Paris’s right bank stands a majestic 18th-century theater called the Théâtre de la Ville (City Theater), and the space has been Sankai Juku’s creative home since 1981. This synergistic partnership between artist and institution has resulted in a crosscultural, coproduced work once every two years.

On Friday, October 4, Santa Barbara dance audiences will be treated to the U.S. debut of one of these coproductions: Meguri: Teeming Sea, Tranquil Land, created in 2015 and combining visual art with meditative dance.

Set against a stunning wall of relief panels that emanate the delicate suspension of fossilized sea lilies, seven dancers will take to The Granada Theatre’s stage in an homage to nature and the cyclical patterns that move us through life. Juxtaposing dramatic gestures with studied movement, Meguri attempts to stir the inner whirrings of our deepest desires, unifying reality and perception in the process. This elegant and arresting work from one of the world’s most fascinating dance companies is not to be missed.

— Ninette Paloma UCSB’s Arts and Lectures presents Sankai Juku on Friday, October 4, at The Granada Theatre (1214 State St.). Call 893-3535 or see artsandlectures.ucsb.edu.

Tuesday, November 5, 2019 6:30pm - 9:00pm

Trauma does not just happen to a few unlucky people, it happens to everyone. If we are not suffering from a post-traumatic stress disorder, we suffer from a pre-traumatic one. Death, illness and loss eventually impact us all, but even the everyday sufferings of loneliness and fear are difficult to face. While emotional memory may be forever, trauma seeks a relational home in which it can be metabolized.

WHAT IS LOVE? Faline England (left) and Joe Spano (right) costar in Love, a play by Kate Cortesi about redrawing the unsteady lines of power regarding gender and consent.

LOVE EXPLORES CHANGING SOCIAL DYNAMIC

W

ritten and performed in a time when hashtags such as #MeToo PLAY EXAMINES and #BelieveWomen exemplify the changing social dynamic, Kate Cortesi’s new play, Love, examines the uncertainAND ties beyond the slogans by drawing and redrawing the unsteady lines of power

by Maggie Yates dynamics related to gender and consent.

“In 2017, as more and more #MeToo stories were coming to light … I felt a certain brand of story was missing from the public dialogue,” said Cortesi. “In private, my friends and I were obsessively chronicling a whole spectrum of experiences with men and women in the workplace and in the bedroom. … We were puzzling over pretty confusing scenarios.”

In Love, Penelope (Faline England) maintains a close friendship with her ex-lover (and former boss), Otis (Joe Spano). She’s disturbed when approached by a group of Otis’s other ex-employees who are going public with allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace. Penelope’s experience with Otis was consensual — even loving. She can’t concede that Otis is predatory, but with both sides of the story coming out, questions arise about the legitimacy of her experiences and the veracity of the other women’s claims.

Love was workshopped at this year’s Ojai Playwright’s conference and will make its premiere at Marin Theater Company this spring. A staged reading will be performed at Center Stage Theater October 5, at 7:30 p.m., and October 6, at 2 p.m. It is the inaugural project from the UCSB Initiative for New and Reimagined Work, a production entity committed to bringing new plays to the community and supporting the upcoming generation of dramatic artists. Both perforEngland and Spano during a reading mances will be followed by a discussion of the play’s themes with a panel of academics, social advocates, and the playwright.

“I think the #MeToo movement, if we do it right, is an invitation to examine all the ways we have internalized the belief that it’s women’s job to serve men,” said Cortesi. “I’d love us to get rigorous about noticing how much a woman’s path through life is affected by her appeal to the male sexual appetite. Is equality possible if everything we do gets filtered through the gaze of male desire? Can we be sex and a person? In my opinion, we’ve barely scratched the surface of that inquiry.”

n his 1966 ethnography Urban Blues, sociologist Charles Keil lists the qualifications required of a bluesman as, in order of importance: having been hurt by a woman, being brought up in that old-time religion, and “knowing what that slavery shit is all At the S.B. Bowl Fri., Sept. 27. about.” Gary Clark Jr. is a bluesman for the 21st century, and, while some aspects of his calling may have changed, these core credentials remain rock solid. In an era when digitally enhanced spectacles dominate the arena circuit, Clark packs large venues on the basis of pure sound. His show on Friday was as lean and elegant as the silhouette

of the 65 Clark that graces the cover of his fine recent album, This Land.

Taking the stage in dark denim under cover of darkness, Clark opened with “Bright Lights,” a signature tune from his first release that channels blues legend Jimmy

Reed’s lyrics into a crackling, bassheavy stomp. The groove of this song is so deep and wide one can imagine Clark laying into it all night. Like fellow neo-soul genius Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes, Clark has absorbed the entire range of styles into his seamless vocal flow. One minute, he’s growling out stentorian hip-hop verses on “This Land” and sounding like a bluesy Jay-Z, and the next he’s floating up into Prince territory with his falsetto on “I Walk Alone.”

This music—unpretentious, energetic, and woke—fits the mood of 2019 like nothing else out there, and the response of the Santa Barbara audience made it clear that they were feeling it. —Charles Donelan

The set list kept the hits coming, featuring familiar numbers like “Tonight’s the Night,” “The First Cut Is the Deepest,” and “Maggie May.” Graciously aware that he

was returning to the Santa Barbara Bowl for the second time in as many years, Stewart also played some older songs that were not on the program last time around. Fans of the Faces got a juicy “Ooh La La,” and aficionados of his hard-rocking early solo career heard two of that period’s best, “Every Picture Tells a Story” and the jazz-inflected Temptations cover “(I Know) I’m Losing You.” Using time-honored techniques to catch occasional breathers, such as ceding the spotlight to three of his female backup singers for a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way,” Stewart paced himself effectively while remaining true to the musical era his fans had come out to relive.

“Reelin’ in the Years.”

Steely Dan may still be reeling from the loss of Becker, but the years have nevertheless been kind to their oeuvre. Few groups of their vintage sound as fresh or authoritative today. The lyrical brilliance and timeless musical sophistication of

these songs grow more impressive with every passing decade. In person, the group offers an experience that’s far richer and more satisfying than simple nostalgia can possibly explain.

Highlights on Tuesday night included a stirring “Bad Sneakers,” an incisive “Kid Charlemagne,” and an irresistible set closer of “My Old School.” Fagen sang with power and passion, and the group balanced perfectly between fidelity to the recorded originals and jazzy improvisation. Steely Dan famously sat out the ’70s and ’80s by declining to play live when they had their biggest hits, but the group is making up for lost time in the new century, and for this resurrection we should be grateful.

ver the showman, Rod Stewart brought a revue featuring six talented bandmembers who doubled as dancing showgirls to the Santa Barbara Bowl on Saturday night. Coming off a gig at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday that saw him reuniting with former At the S.B. Bowl Sat., Sept. 28. bandmate Jeff Beck, Stewart was clearly well prepared for his upcoming residency at Caesar’s Palace and a subsequent November tour of the U.K. No expense was spared either on costumes or digital videography. For 90 minutes, Stewart and his squad of blondes changed outfits, danced around, and generally rocked the house.

THE CHARGERS’ VOLLEYBALL DREAMS

SP

Dos Pueblos Girls Beat San Marcos, Aim for League Title

B

uilding sustainable success in high school athletics is a complex process. For the Dos Pueblos High girls’ volleyball team, a streak of steady improvements over the past three years are finally putting the goal of winning a Channel League title within reach.

A major step came in 2017, when biology teacher Megan O’Carroll, who was a middle blocker for the University of Redlands, took over coaching the Chargers.

“Coming into my first year, I really wanted to focus on the culture of the program,” O’Carroll said. “We are a family; we are a unit. When someone fails, we fail together, and when we succeed, we all succeed together. A big part of that is being accountable and responsible for your job on the court and your job within the program.”

In order for a culture to be implemented, key players must buy in. From O’Carroll’s first day, four-year varsity starter Mikayla Butzke and fellow senior Becky McKinney (a three-year varsity player) have been key to the Chargers’ improvement.

Butzke provides elite versatility as a 60 setter who has the ability to put the ball away like an outside hitter and dig like a defensive specialist.

The growth of the team over the last three years mirrors Butzke’s growth as a player.

“I think it’s different this year because we’re definitely closer as a team,” Butzke said. “There’s more team chemistry, and that helps when things get tough.”

Sophomore Portia Sherman emerged onto the scene last season as a freshman with a polished all-around game that was refined on the beach. Sherman offers consistent production on the outside and is a big part of the Chargers’ present and future as the go-to attacker.

“Beach is really nice for indoor because in beach volleyball, you have to be really good at all the skills—passing, setting, and hitting,” Sherman said. “A lot of outside hitters swing hard, but I like to place more because I’m a beach player.”

A youth movement of sorts is significantly bolstering the Dos Pueblos lineup this season. Sophomores Erin Curtis and Natali Flint caught O’Carroll’s attention on the junior varsity team last season and were brought up to varsity for CIF. This season, both have become key contributors.

“They both played in our second-round CIF match, so they got some varsity experience last year,” O’Carroll said of Curtis and Flint. “They were two girls that I definitely knew I wanted to bring up this year

and that they would contribute from the start.” vidually and as a team. It’s just a confidence thing.”

“We finished third two years ago, second last year, so it was definitely an improvement,” O’Carroll said. “We were disappointed because we knew we had the talent and the team to take the championship, so not being able to do it was challenging.” O’Carroll is excited about the sophomores she’s brought up as well as “our stud freshman” Chloe Hoffman, believing that they have a more well-rounded team than in years past.

With beating San Marcos critical to approaching a league title, the Chargers were ready for their first show showdown on September 19.

10/4: High School Football: Santa Barbara vs. San Marcos Santa Barbara’s most storied prep football rivalry is renewed in the 60th annual “Big Game.” San Marcos (2-3) will look to snap Santa Barbara’s (3-2) four-game winning streak in the series, which the Dons lead 35-24 all-time. Both teams boast explosive offenses led by standout quarterbacks in Santa Barbara’s Deacon Hill and San Marcos’s Ben Partee. Both teams are also coming off a bye week. The Dons have lost consecutive games to highly ranked St. Bonaventure and Pacifica after starting the season 3-0. San Marcos defeated Channel Islands 20-14 in its last game on Sept. 20. It is the Channel League opener for both teams. 7pm. La Playa Stadium, S.B. City College, 721 Cliff Dr. $5-$9. Call 967-4581.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In 1956, the U.S. federal government

launched a program to build 40,000 miles of highspeed roads to connect all major American cities. It was completed 36 years later at a cost of $521 billion. In the coming months, I’d love to see you draw inspiration from that visionary scheme. According to my analysis, you will generate good fortune for yourself as you initiate a long-term plan to expand your world, create a more robust network, and enhance your ability to fulfill your life’s big goals.

The dilemmas and riddles you face right now are very solvable if and only if you get sufficient amounts of sleep and dreams. Do you need some nudges to do right by yourself? Neuroscientist Matthew Walker says that some of the greatest athletes understand that “sleep is the greatest legal enhancing performance drug.” Top tennis player Roger Federer sleeps 12 hours a day. During his heyday, world-class sprinter Usain Bolt slept 10 hours a night and napped during the day. Champion basketball player LeBron James devotes 12 hours a day to the rejuvenating sanctuary of sleep.

LEO

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Taurus-born YouTube blogger Hey Fran

Hey has some good advice for her fellow Bulls, and I think it’ll be especially fresh and potent in the coming weeks. She says, “Replacing ‘Why is this happening to me?’ with ‘What is this trying to tell me?’ has been a game changer for me. The former creates a hamster wheel, where you’ll replay the story over and over again.

Victimized. Stuck. The latter holds space for a resolution to appear.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The soul has illusions as the bird has

wings: it is supported by them.” So declared French author Victor Hugo. I don’t share his view. In fact, I regard it as an insulting misapprehension. The truth is that the soul achieves flight through vivid fantasies and effervescent intuitions and uninhibited longings and nonrational hypotheses and wild hopes — and maybe also by a few illusions. I bring this to your attention because now is an excellent time to nurture your soul with vivid fantasies and effervescent intuitions and uninhibited longings and nonrational hypotheses and wild hopes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I know people of all genders who periodically unleash macho brags about how little sleep they need. If you’re normally like that, I urge you to rebel.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Actor and dancer

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Every time my birthday season comes

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I envision the next 12 months as a time

around, I set aside an entire day to engage in a life review.

It lasts for many hours. I begin by visualizing the recent events I’ve experienced, then luxuriously scroll in reverse through my entire past, as if watching a movie starring me. It’s not possible to remember every single scene and feeling, of course, so I allow my deep self to highlight the moments it regards as significant. Here’s another fun aspect of this ritual: I bestow a blessing on every memory that comes up, honorHOMEWORK: “Privilege is when ing it for what it taught me and how it helped me to become the person I you think something is not a problem am today. Dear Libra, now is an excelbecause it’s not a problem for you.” lent time for you to experiment with a Comment. FreeWillAstrology.com similar celebration.

Fred Astaire was a pioneer in bringing dance into films as a serious art form. He made 31 musical films during the 76 years he worked, and he was celebrated for his charisma, impeccable technique, and innovative moves. At the height of his career, from 1933 to 1949, he teamed up with dancer Ginger Rogers in the creation of 10 popular movies. In those old-fashioned days, virtually all partner dancing featured a male doing the lead part as the female followed. One witty critic noted that although Astaire was a bigger star than Rogers, she “did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and while wearing high heels.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, you may soon be called on to carry out tasks that are metaphorically comparable to those performed by Rogers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your number-one therapy in the com-

ing weeks? Watching animals. It would be the healthiest thing you could undertake; relax into a generously receptive mode as you simply observe creatures doing what they do. The best option would be to surrender to the pleasures of communing with both domesticated and wild critters. If you need a logical reason to engage in this curative and rejuvenating activity, I’ll give you one: It will soothe and strengthen your own animal intelligence, which would be a tonic gift for you to give yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Depression is when you think there’s nothing to be done,” writes author Siri Hustvedt. “Fortunately I always think there’s something to be done.” I offer this hopeful attitude to you, Scorpio, trusting that it will cheer you up. I suspect that the riddles and mysteries you’re embedded in right now are so puzzling and complicated that you’re tempted to think that there’s nothing you can do to solve them or escape them. But I’m here to inform you that if that’s how you feel, it’s only temporary. Even more important, I’m here to inform you that there is indeed something you can do, and you are going to find out what that is sooner rather than later.

when you could initiate fundamental improvements in the way you live. Your daily rhythm 12 months from now could be as much as 20 percent more gratifying and meaningful. It’s conceivable you will discover or generate innovations that permanently raise your longterm goals to a higher octave. At the risk of sounding grandiose, I predict you’ll welcome a certain novelty that resembles the invention of the wheel or the compass or the calendar.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Modern literary critic William Boyd

declared that Aquarian author Anton Chekhov (1860– 1904) was “the best short-story writer ever,” and “the first truly modern writer of fiction: secular, refusing to pass judgment, cognizant of the absurdities of our muddled, bizarre lives and the complex tragi-comedy that is the human condition.” Another contemporary critic, Harold Bloom, praised Chekhov’s plays, saying that he was “one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre.” We might imagine, then, that in the course of his career, Chekhov was showered with accolades. We’d be wrong about that, though. “If I had listened to the critics,” he testified, “I’d have died drunk in the gutter.” I hope that what I just said will serve as a pep talk for you as you explore and develop your own original notions in the coming weeks.

PISCES

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “How inconvenient to be made of desire,”

writes Sagittarian author Larissa Pham. “Even now, want rises up in me like a hot oil. I want so much that it scares me.” I understand what she means, and I’m sure you do, too. There are indeed times when the inner fire that fuels you feels excessive and unwieldy and inopportune. But I’m happy to report that your mood in the coming weeks is unlikely to fit that description. I’m guessing that the radiant pulse of your yearning will excite you and empower you.

It’ll be brilliant and warm, not seething and distracting.

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Pisces-born Dorothy Steel didn’t begin

her career as a film actress until she was 91 years old.

She had appeared in a couple of TV shows when she was 89, then got a small role in an obscure movie. At age 92, she became a celebrity when she played the role of a tribal elder in Black Panther, one of the highest-grossing films of all time. I propose that we make her one of your inspirational role models for both the coming weeks and the next 12 months. Why? Because I suspect you will be ripening fully into a role and a mission you were born to embody and express.

REICHLEN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court

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

NOTICE OF PENDING ACTION BY DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Storke Plaza As-Built Development Plan with Modifications 250, 260, 270 Storke Road; APN 073-100-032 19-024-DP NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning and Environmental Review Director intends to consider the merits of the proposed As-Built Development Plan and take action.

DECISION DATE AND TIME:

Monday, October 14, 2019 at 5:00PM

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: An As-built Development Plan to bring the site into compliance with the current requirement for a Development Plan, pursuant to Sec. 35-225.2 of the Inland Zoning Ordinance. The site currently has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Community Commercial (C-C) and a Zoning Ordinance designation of Retail Commercial (C-2).

The Project will memorialize the existing development on site. The property includes two existing two-story commercial buildings, which are 16,024SF (Gross) and 16,744SF (Gross) that were approved via a zoning permit in 1977. The site also includes a non-habitable Pump House/Equipment enclosure for an abandoned well on the site.

The abandon well enclosure is 791SF (Gross) with a 588SF (Gross) mezzanine space. There will be no expansion of or change to the existing approved use of the buildings. No new square footage is proposed. The applicant is proposing minor site improvements to improve site circulation and to bring the site into compliance with current standards. These changes include: 1.

2.

3.

4.

The addition of landscape islands at the end of all parking lanes.

The addition of stop signs within the parking lot to improve circulation.

Re-striping of the existing Storke Road driveways.

Add new pedestrian path of travel between building 270 and 250.

With the minor changes, the site will contain 129 parking spaces and approximately 6,447SF of landscaping. The site is currently legal non-conforming as to setbacks. As a result, the applicant is requesting two modifications to allow for the previously developed site to be brought into conformance. The two modifications being requested are as follows: 1. To allow for the parking along southern property line to encroach approximately three feet into the side setback.

2. To allow for the buildings addressed as 270 Storke and 250 Storke to encroach ten feet into the front setback.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FINDINGS: The Planning and Environmental Review Director hereby finds the proposed As-Built Development Plan is categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code § § 21000, et seq.; “CEQA”) and CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000, et seq.). Specifically, the project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15304(b) (New gardening or landscaping) and § 15301(a) (Exterior alterations).

The existing development is located within an urbanized area with commercial land use and zoning designations as stated above. The proposed As-Built Development Plan will make minor changes to the site landscaping through the addition of landscape islands at the end of the parking lanes. The proposed project will also improve onsite pedestrian circulation and ingress and egress from the site, by adding stop signs, providing pedestrian cross walks, and restriping the existing driveways. There are no proposed changes to the use of the building on the site. The property will continue to be served by existing streets and services and will not change the demand on the existing services. Further, the project would not alter any biological resources, cultural resources, geologic, drainage, or have visual resources. Therefore, given the minor nature of improvements, the project will not have a significant effect on the environment.

CORTESE LIST: The Project site is not listed on any hazardous waste facilities or disposal sites identified by Government Code § 65962.5 (the “Cortese list”).

DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: The project plans are currently available at Goleta City Hall at 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117. The staff report and related materials for the Director Decision will be available at least 72 hours prior to the action date of October 14, 2019.

PUBLIC COMMENT: A public hearing will not be held. Anyone interested in this matter is invited to submit written comments regarding the proposed As-Built Development Plan. All letters should be addressed to Planning and Environmental Review, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117, attention: Joe Pearson Letters must be received by the City Planning and Environmental Review Department at least 24 hours prior to 5:00 PM on the action date of October 14, 2019.

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