IMPROVING OIL DISASTER RESPONSE

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

For more than a decade, EDC and our clients successfully fought proposals by Venoco to expand oil drilling from Platform Holly. While the decommissioning of the Platform offshore UCSB and Ellwood Mesa will take years, the plugging and abandonment of a pair of wells on the beach near Haskell’s and the first of Holly’s wells has been completed. Platform Holly is the first of eight platforms set to be decommissioned off our coast.

LOS PADRES NATIONAL FOREST

EDC and our client reached an agreement with the U.S. Forest Service, providing for a temporary ban on target shooting and requiring the Service to consult with wildlife agencies to assess the impacts on endangered and threatened animals and plants, including the California Condor. Unmanaged shooting sites, often located near waterways, public trails, and recreation areas, can cause serious impacts to wildlife and human health and safety.

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

After two decades of work, EDC and our clients successfully convinced the California State Lands Commission to terminate four oil and gas leases directly offshore Carpinteria. These were the last leases in state waters off Santa Barbara County and their termination, which was based on Carone Petroleum failing to pay rent on its leases for four years, means this area will never again be at risk for oil development!

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

Twitchell Dam, located on the Cuyama River, is a major barrier preventing adequate flows for the endangered Southern California steelhead to reach historic breeding grounds. On behalf of our client, EDC filed a lawsuit against the Dam’s operating agencies for violations of the Endangered Species Act to ensure sufficient water is available to protect this keystone species, while also replenishing groundwater downstream for agriculture and local communities.

CALIFORNIA COAST

Since the 2015 Plains All American Pipeline Refugio Oil Spill, EDC has been participating in an inter-agency process to improve local, state, and federal Oil Spill Contingency Plans. Many of our recommendations have been included in the Plan updates, including NGO participation, more accessible information for volunteers, a robust public information plan including Spanish language, and support for the most environmentally sensitive oil removal operations and methods.

STANDING FOR ENDANGERED SPECIES

7

STOPPING OFFSHORE FRACKING

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

After nearly 20 years, EDC and our client celebrated a significant victory for Southern California steelhead, one of the most endangered fish in the nation, convincing the State to order improved management of Bradbury Dam and the Cachuma Reservoir. This victory will ensure improved water flows and critical studies to benefit endangered steelhead, including looking at water conservation, fish passage, and other improvements to habitat.

CALIFORNIA COAST

In another win in our long legal fight to protect California’s marine environment from the impacts of offshore fracking, EDC and our client prevented an oil company from resuming the dangerous extraction technique in the Santa Barbara Channel. By denying DCOR’s request, the moratorium on fracking and acidizing off California’s coast remains until wildlife agencies are able to analyze the impacts to threatened and endangered species.

SAFEGUARDING CLEAN WATER

9

FIGHTING TRUMP’S OIL PLAN

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

EDC successfully settled a lawsuit against Pacific Coast Energy Company (PCEC) for violating the Clean Water Act by repeatedly discharging polluted stormwater runoff from its 5,400-acre Orcutt Hill oil field where the company uses dangerous extraction techniques such as cyclic steam injection. The company must implement controls at its access roads and other pollution sources to reduce contaminated runoff that is threatening endangered species and public recreation.

CALIFORNIA COAST

EDC has been working with statewide partners to build a powerful network of opposition to the Trump Administration’s plan to open the California Coast to new offshore drilling for the first time since 1984. The network’s incredible effort has led nearly 100 cities and counties to voice opposition to this plan, as well as over 4,000 businesses. With this strong coalition, we will continue to protect California coastal resources.

UP OUR CREEKS 10 CLEANING GOLETA WATERSHED

In an effort to protect water quality and wildlife, EDC led six creek cleanups in Goleta, removing 6,252 pounds of accumulated trash before winter rains could wash it into the ocean, with the help of more than 160 volunteer hours. EDC also helped the City to identify stormwater violations, illegal dumping and clearings, and ways to improve water quality in the Goleta Valley.

COURTESY

CONTENTS

Best piece ever: My writing background began when I was sent to summer camp at age 8 and had to devise a letter to my parents that was so powerful, so emotional and persuasive, that they would let me come home. As an adult, I wrote TV and movie scripts and for publications like New York, Harper’s Bazaar, the N.Y. Times, and Look. I was a book and magazine editor as well as a film executive. Still, nothing was ever as effective as the letter I wrote from camp.

Serious about streaming: In later years, I lived far from the action and was supposedly “working” from home. This coincided with the advent of streaming TV, and combined with my insomnia, TV bingeing became a field at which I excelled. My daughter has called it my superpower.

Column cometh: Friends and family have often solicited my recommendations, the most recent being Marianne Partridge, the Indy’s editor-in-chief. I met Marianne long ago when she was running the N.Y. office of Rolling Stone, and then I wrote for the Village Voice when she was its editor. I still do whatever she tells me because she has never been wrong. She told me to write this column.

Were we better off with just a few shows? Yes. We were left with a huge amount of time to read books. Reading uses different brain circuits than watching.

COUNTY

COUNTY Dennis Bozanich, the key point person for the county’s cannabis ordinance and policy, has announced he will be stepping down at the end of the year. Bozanich, a talented administrator with the ability to juggle multiple tasks, is also spearheading the county’s campaign to ensure the latest Census count misses as few residents as possible. Barney Melekian, a former undersheriff who is now part of the county’s executive administrative team, will become the new “cannabis czar.”

CITY

ON THE FIRELINE: On Monday night, firefighters worked the Cave Fire in the San Marcos Foothill Preserves (above) and on East Camino Cielo (left). Four helicopters were airborne dropping water on the fire (below left) as dozer crews down below attempted to gouge out defensible breaks (below right).

The state law governing accessory dwelling units (ADUs) was recently changed, reducing the oversight local governments can impose. For example, the city’s requirement that either the main residence or accessory residence be owner occupied has been preempted by state law.

Pushed in response to the state’s housing crisis, the new law allows for up to two detached ADUs on parcels occupied and zoned for multi-family housing and ADUs up to 800 square feet and 16 feet high. There are currently 195 ADUs under construction and another 139 in building permit plan check in the city.

anta Barbara finds itself forced to go into the holiday season much the way it did two years ago. Yet another fire is rampaging along the urban-rural interface where thick, sprawling strands of highly flammable chaparral stand six feet high. This time, the fire started on the urban side of the mountains, and intense night winds pushed the flames downslope to within a mile of Cathedral Oaks Road. A fire that started at 15 acres at 4 p.m. quickly expanded to 100, then 500, then 3,300 acres by 9 p.m. At dawn’s early light Tuesday morning, it was 4,100 acres. Fire commanders expect it will grow to at least 5,000 acres by the end of day two.

As of this writing, Tuesday, November 26, the Cave Fire, which originated at the intersection of Camino Cielo and San Marcos Pass roads, is officially uncontained. The cause of the fire remains unknown, but there’s no indication that arson was involved. To date, only one structure—described in official reports as an “out structure”—has been damaged or destroyed. That, however, can change with a gust of the wind.

Fifteen thousand homes are at risk as law enforcement agencies have found themselves yet again knocking on doors to be sure residents have evacuated. Sheriff Bill Brown said the total population living in the mandatory evacuation box was 5,484. Of the 2,284 resi-

In their search for a financial savior, Earl Warren Showgrounds’ Board of Directors unanimously voted 11/21 to explore the only plan pitched to them so far: upgraded equestrian facilities. Area equestrian Karen Christensen presented phase one of her plan to rebuild three competition arenas and update all United States Equestrian Federation–required warmup arenas. The total estimated cost, $450,000-$650,000, would be paid for entirely by donors, said Christensen. The board meets again 12/12 to revisit Christensen’s plan and accept new plans and ideas.

PEOPLE dences contacted Monday, he said, 517 had evacuated, 324 did not, and 1,357 did not answer their phones. Fire Chief Mark Hartwig stressed: “If you see fire and smell smoke, don’t wait to be told.”

Firefighters have been focused on structure protection rather than perimeter control.

That explains the zero percent containment numbers. Typically, five engines will be dispatched to a neighborhood with each engine assigned responsibility for five structures.

Crews clear brush and debris near homes that need it; if there’s a lot of stuff, they’ll move on to what they see as a more protectable property. Hartwig singled out the community of Painted Cave, which until this year maintained a crackerjack volunteer fire department that did a great job clearing brush and creating defensible space.

As of Tuesday, five helicopters are dropping water on hot spots; five S2 fixed-wing planes and large DC-10s, known in the jargon as a VLAT, short for Very Large Air Tanker,

will be dumping retardant. A spotter plane is helping coordinate air operations. The Red Cross is operating emergency shelters out of the Goleta Community Center, and the Earl Warren Showgrounds has once again opened its doors to the South Coast’s horses and other large critters.

As hundreds of firefighters—600 at last counting but sure to increase — attack the Cave Fire, the rest of Santa Barbara waits to see which way the winds will blow. Monday night, winds came howling down the mountain at about 40 miles per hour, pushing the spotting embers downslope. By midnight, that wind had died down to 10 miles per hour. Hartwig, still relatively new to Santa Barbara, said he’s been struck by the multitude of microclimates from canyon to canyon. The wind patterns, he said, are among the most complex in the state.

The supervisors signed an emergency declaration that will help Santa Barbara draw

Ron Gallo is stepping down after 11 years as CEO of the Santa Barbara Foundation, one of the area’s oldest, most well-endowed philanthropies. Gallo expressed satisfaction at having been able to serve the community through the nonprofit, but added, “I have always had the opinion that good leadership includes knowing when to pass the baton. This is that time.” CFO Jackie Carrera will function as interim CEO while a national search is conducted for a permanent replacement for Gallo, who is now “CEO emeritus.”

Buellton Cannabis Battle Continues

T

he county’s Planning Commission, led

by John Parke, sought to cut the proverbial baby in half when considering Sarah Rotman’s request to grow 22 acres of cannabis on her property near Buellton. Neither side was happy. Both have appealed the Planning Commission’s November 7 ruling to the county supervisors, who are already facing legions of cannabis issues coming before them in coming months.

Though commissioners approved Rotman’s proposal—and denied an appeal by a coalition of cannabis critics and a neighboring farmer, Sharyne Merritt — they attached 35 conditions. Rotman is objecting to five.

One would reduce the acreage to 18; another would drastically reduce the number of hoops under which cannabis could be grown to four. Rotman also objected to some language about odor control.

Merritt and Coalition for Responsible Cannabis complained that Rotman be required to obtain a more stringent Condi-

NEWS BRIEFS CONT’D FROM P. 9 ENVIRONMENT On 11/9, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced new regulations governing 140,000 square miles of ocean floor, effectively doubling seafloor protections off the coast of California in order to ensure the longevity of areas home to corals, sponges, and rocky reefs that are essential for the marine ecosystem. The new regulations, expected to take effect New Year’s Day, virtually put an end to the practice of “bottom trawling,” a fishing technique considered highly destructive to ocean ecosystems, on the West Coast.

POLITICS Santa Barbara Congressmember Salud Carbajal announced he is endorsing California Senator Kamala Harris in her bid to secure the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. “I think she would go toe to toe with Donald Trump,” Carbajal stated. He dismissed concerns that her poll numbers are low, saying, “All that can change overnight; there’s still a long way to go.” Carbajal’s endorsement comes after State Senator HannahBeth Jackson and State Assemblymember Monique Limón also endorsed Harris.

John Roderick Dungan, charged with three counts of murder after California Highway Patrol alleged he intentionally drove into oncoming traffic on Highway 154, pleaded not guilty during his arraignment on 11/20. On 10/25, Rebecca Vanessa Goss Bley, 34, and her two children, 2-year-old Lucienne Bley Gleason and 4-month-old Desmond Bley Gleason, were killed after the suspect allegedly drove his car into theirs near Cold Spring Bridge. Dungan is being held without bail in Santa Barbara County Jail and is set to return to court on 1/31/2020.

On 11/22, the Sheriff’s Office arrested two suspects following an investigation into an

tional Use Permit and that her cannabis farm will intrude on existing agriculture—especially wine vineyards. Most outspoken was vintner Blair Pence, who has termed cannabis an “existential crisis.” His critics have noted that Pence violated the terms of his own land-use permits by operating a tasting room. Initially, county zoning officials fined Pence $4,000. But last week—after Pence blasted their actions as part of a “vendetta” instigated by the cannabis industry—they backed off. He must now pay just $500; the remaining fees have been suspended pending his bringing the tasting room into compliance.

The Rotman appeal highlights a growing tension between supervisors and their planning commissioners, who have tried to soften the impact legalized cannabis agriculture has had on their neighbors. Some supervisors feel the commissioners are in effect creating new policies which exceeds the scope of their authority. —Nick Welsh

armed robbery that occurred in Isla Vista on 11/18.

Officers responded to a 9-1-1 call last Monday, with two victims claiming they had been robbed at gunpoint in their home on Sabado Tarde Road. Detectives recovered several of the items allegedly stolen and arrested Heyaw Meteke for robbery and false imprisonment and Jawad Hebbar for accessory. Both are being held in county jail, with bail set at $100,000 for Meteke and $20,000 for Hebbar.

Michael Post, who was briefly married to onetime Santa Barbara celebrity Edie Sedgwick, was ordered to pay $104,000 in attorneys’ fees as part of a losing law suit he’d hopped would allow him to market the name of his ex-wife — who died in 1971 of a drug overdose — for commercial purposes. Post was sued by David Weisman, who made the movie Ciao! Manhattan, which starred Sedgwick. Weisman contended that any commercially marketable fame Sedgwick achieved happened only after she died and appeared in his film.

On 11/19, police apprehended Marshal Anthony Coates, 50, after witnesses reported a store employee had been assaulted in La Cumbre Plaza Mall. According to police, Coates entered the victim’s store, displayed erratic behavior, and blocked the store exit when the victim attempted to flee. Coates’s felony charges include assault with intent to commit rape, assault with a deadly weapon, second degree burglary, and dissuading a victim with force or fear. The police recommended no bail.

On 11/18, police responded to reports of a stabbing incident at a transient encampment near Ward Drive in Goleta. On 11/19, sheriff’s deputies arrested 58-year-old Camarillo resident Glenn Allen Ray on charges of attempted murder and driving with a suspended license. Ray is currently being held in Santa Barbara Main Jail, with bail set at $1,000,000. The victim of the stabbing, who has yet to be identified, remains hospitalized. n

anta Barbara City Council election results are certified this week, marking the official end to what was one of the city’s most unorthodox elections yet.

Considering a week-long wait for results, a newbie’s eight-vote lead over an incumbent, and a mild case of vote-by-mail hysteria, it was an election to remember.

Alejandra Gutierrez, the Eastside native who runs the Franklin Service Center, squeaked by with just eight votes over incumbent Jason Dominguez, who is now concentrating in full force on his campaign for State Assembly. The diminutive margin reflects the city’s hyper-local political focus, a result of changing from at-large to district elections four years ago.

Anna Marie Gott, one of the city’s loudest watchdog critics, and Sharon Byrne, a community activist, wrote a letter to the city detailing a laundry list of what they believe is voter fraud. They asked for a full investigation into the issues, which the city has reportedly done — the count is official and Gutierrez ousted Dominguez 963 to 955 votes.

“I am going to put all of my energy toward District 1 [The Eastside] because they are the ones who voted me into office,” Gutierrez said. “I am grateful for the Democratic Party’s endorsement and support, but at the end of the day, I will vote for what’s best for my district.”

Randy Rowse — the only non-dem on the dais—has been on the council the longest and is terming out after nine years. “District elections are problematic,” he said “Districts 3 and 6 didn’t have anyone to run against them, and the eight-vote margin might have put Alejandra in the seat but doesn’t make people feel confident.

“My advice to anyone new to the council is to vote for what’s right,” Rowse said. “It might not be great for your political career, but it makes it really easy to explain my votes because I don’t vote [along party lines] ….”

Gutierrez and Michael Jordan (pictured above), the 10-year city planning commissioner who was elected by 1,509 votes to fill Rowse’s District 2 spot, have a busy December ahead of them before they begin in January. They have to meet with all city department directors and decide which boards and commissions they will be liaisons to once they start.

“I’m chomping at the bit,” Jordan said.

“I’m actually kind of sad we have to wait six weeks to start.” Jordan’s readiness is a reflection of his strong foundation working in local bureaucracy. When it comes to picking

which boards to be a liaison to, he’s already done it at least once for all of the city’s boards — except the Ordinance Committee and Finance Committee—because of his decade on the Planning Commission. He said the Finance Committee would be his biggest learning curve, which works out since Gutierrez already has her eye on it.

He has a strong idea of what he wants to work on when his term starts. He said maintaining the “look, feel, and vitality” of the Central Business District is critical, because it can strengthen the city’s economy and pay for much-needed resources. “I believe the economic vitality of the city leads to growing social programs, not the other way around,” he said.

Gutierrez, however, is taking a different approach. She is planning three separate Eastside community meetings to better understand what issues she will give priority to once she starts.

“I am meeting with Eastside business leaders, Eastside youth, and the general Eastside community at large,” Gutierrez said. “The three groups have different interests, so separate meetings make more sense. I ran my entire campaign on giving a voice to the Eastside, so I’m keeping to that.”

Dominguez said during his four years on council, he learned that representing the Eastside is important, but the city as a whole should be the highest priority. “You can’t do a good job if you are only focused on your district,” Dominguez said. “If you start trying to push for more than your district deserves, that’s going to cause issues.”

Dominguez pointed to the 10 percent inclusionary housing ordinance the council adopted as his proudest accomplishment on council.

“I’m personally happy we won’t have anyone running for another office or going back and forth against each other on the dais,” Jordan said. “Watching City Council from the sidelines, they focus on the squeaky wheel and then move on to the next. It’s time to look at the bigger picture.”

Meagan Harmon, the council’s newest addition before Gutierrez and Jordan, is looking forward to a new blend of personalities and fresh ideas on the council, but said she learned so much from its present makeup, too.

“Randy leaving is so bittersweet for me,” Harmon said. “He was an amazing mentor to me, but Alejandra is so smart, and Mike’s Planning Commission background will be invaluable, too. I’m just so looking forward n to working with this new team.”

CLEAN EATING, DIRTY DEEDS? Vegan GreenGo and Conscious Kombucha owner Tyler Beerman, who has been held in solitary confinement for the last six months, is looking at 44 years to life for allegedly trying to hire various hitmen while in county jail.

Most Dangerous Man in Jail?

Would-Be Kombucha Killer Held in Solitary Without Bail for Allegedly Soliciting Hits on Two Cops, Judge, and Ex-Girlfriend

by Nick Welsh erhaps only in Santa Barbara would the most dangerous inmate in county jail be a vegan restaurant owner, kombucha brewer, and self-described “wantrepreneur.” Despite these comically millennial trappings, Santa Barbara authorities consider Tyler Beerman, the 33-year-old, 190-pound owner of Vegan GreenGo, a serious threat to public safety.

For the last six months, he has been held in county jail in solitary confinement. But even that, it turns out, is not enough. Last week, the county’s counsel’s office sought to get an additional restraining order against Beerman and to increase the security precautions: When Beerman appears in Judge Thomas Anderle’s courtroom early next January to answer charges that he tried to hire various hitmen in county jail to kill an ex-girlfriend, two investigators with the county’s Sheriff’s Office, and a county judge, he will be in chains and handcuffs. Beerman, if found guilty, is looking at 44 years to life behind bars.

Beerman’s attorney, Sandy Horowitz, argues his client needs mental-health treatment, not incarceration. Beerman, he noted, sustained serious brain injury after he rolled his car in a DUI-related accident in 2012. To get off alcohol, Beerman got into kombucha, opening the Funk Zone–based kombucha company Conscious Kombucha in 2013. A few years later, he’d start a vegan Mexican restaurant that served no meatbased lard and non-dairy cheese. After the accident, however, he’s suffered excruciating headaches, serious mood alterations, and post-traumatic stress disorder, according to his lawyer. But even before the accident, Horowitz said, Beerman suffered mentalhealth issues; since the accident, his client has been 5150’d — declared an imminent threat to himself or others—at least three times.

Law enforcement officials don’t pretend to know what makes Beerman tick; they only know they don’t want him to explode on innocent bystanders. Though Beerman has never been arrested for any violent crime —or found to be in possession of weapons — his name triggers an officer safety warn-

P

ing for local law enforcement. The case of Lt. Brad Welch, a 20-year veteran with the County Sheriff’s Office, illustrates why.

Welch first met Beerman a few years back when responding to a burglary incident in Carpinteria. Beerman had helped corral the suspect, and the two developed a positive relationship. That went south, however, after Beerman continued to phone an ex-girlfriend who’d taken out a restraining order. She claimed Beerman had been stalking her for two years. Welch claims he repeatedly urged Beerman to back off; he referred Beerman’s case to mental-health experts within the department in hopes of getting him treatment. None of this worked, and eventually Welch found himself forced to arrest Beerman.

Beerman never got over it.

According to Welch’s testimony, Beerman began calling him repeatedly and showed up at Welch’s work, demanding to know why. Beerman was relentless. No matter how often Welch explained, Beerman continued. Eventually Welch felt compelled to take evasive maneuvers while driving from his job to his home on the chance that Beerman was tracking him. He took expensive steps to erase all electronic and social media footprints that could lead Beerman to his home.

But somehow Beerman figured out where Welch lived. Late at night on November 9, 2017, Beerman showed up Welch’s house and began knocking on the door. Why did Welch arrest him? he once again demanded.

His new girlfriend was on hand to film what transpired. Some have speculated Beerman was hoping for suicide by cop. Beerman’s father, attorney David K. Beerman, was on hand as well, hoping to persuade authorities to have his son declared 5150 again. It didn’t work out that way. Welch gave his wife a handgun and had her secure their children. He then armed himself and waited for the black and whites to arrive. No one got hurt. Welch was — and remains — seriously spooked. Any suggestion that Beerman could be released on bail—even if a combination of inpatient and outpatient treatment was involved—he said, was “insane.”

ON THE HORIZON: The below rendering shows what the just-approved Strauss Wind Energy Project’s 29 wind turbines, which will measure 427-492 feet tall, will look like on the hills south of Lompoc.

Creation of 29 Wind Turbines Would Double Santa Barbara County’s Renewable Energy Capacity

O

by Brian Osgood

n November 20, the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the installation of 29 wind turbines on 3,000 acres of land in the hills south of Lompoc, a project that would double Santa Barbara’s renewable energy production and provide for the electricity needs of 30 percent of the county’s households.

The hearing sought to balance the need for renewable energy production with the impacts of the project on the local ecosystem, considered by many to be both aesthetically pristine and ecologically unique. “These are the resources we have, and they’re very special. They have the right to special consideration,” said Planning Commission Chair John Parke.

A thoughtful-but-energetic public comment section saw arguments by environmentalists both for and against the project, highlighting different strains of thinking within the local environmental movement. The project moves forward as California pursues a goal of reaching 100 percent renewable energy by 2045 in order to combat the escalating threats of climate disaster.

The Strauss Wind Energy Project (SWEP) is an updated version of the Lompoc Wind Energy Project (LWEP) that was approved in 2009 but then scrapped before construction could begin due to economic conditions created by the Great Recession. SWEP uses the same section of land originally approved in 2009 and would create 29 wind turbines instead of the 65 that were approved in 2009. Since 2009, wind turbine technology has advanced in sophistication and efficiency, allowing for turbines to generate comparable amounts of energy with fewer turbines. The turbines in 2009 would have been around 400 feet tall, whereas the new turbines would range from 427 to 492 feet in height.

The project would reduce CO2 emissions by around 40,000 metric tons per year and generate 98 megawatts of energy a year.

The project, bordered by Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB), private ranch land, and the Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve, would additionally include an onsite substation, a meteorological tower, and a 7.3-mile transmission line connecting the site to the PG&E grid in Lompoc via a new switching station. In order to transport the turbine blades, which are between 160 and 225 feet, some sections of San Miguelito Road will also be widened. The project would have an operational duration of 30 years and would provide between 50 and 100 jobs during the construction phase and five to seven permanent jobs during the operational phase. It would also provide $40 million in

Most Dangerous Man in Jail? cont’d from p.13 prosecutor Benjamin Ladinig contended in court papers, he reportedly solicited other inmates to kill his ex-girlfriend and Welch.

He allegedly offered up to $40,000 to one inmate if he could arrange for his former girlfriend’s car to blow up when she pumped the brake. If Welch couldn’t be killed the same way, Beerman allegedly suggested the inmate could arrange for two prostitutes to seduce him and then claim rape. He initially tried to have someone blow up the car of Detective Anthony Kouremetis, who had helped work on the stalking case; then he allegedly decided to have Kouremetis’s home burn down with him in it. Another inmate came forward and claimed he’d heard Beerman threatening to rape the daughter of his first attorney. Another inmate disclosed that Beerman said he might need help killing Judge Von T. Nguyen Deroian, who’d presided over one of his stalking hearings. “I want to kill her,” Beerman allegedly said.

In his legal papers, Ladinig cites audio recordings of a wire worn by one of the confidential informants when discussing such plans with Beerman. Ladinig cites a map Beerman drew indicating where his ex-girlfriend lived and where she parked her car. He cites the sophistication with which Beerman allegedly proceeded, devising code names for the parties involved and cash drops. Also charged—as a co-conspirator—was Beerman’s current girlfriend, Gissel Diaz. Her bail was reduced from $1 million to $100,000.

Defense attorney Horowitz — a former prosecutor with the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s Office—sought to get Beerman released on his own recognizance but came up empty. He cited Beerman’s brain trauma, his mental-health history, and his lack of violence. He argued that the testimony of jailhouse snitches is notoriously unreliable. As for the specific inmates who came forward with damaging testimony about Beerman, he stated, “These are known criminals with long criminal histories and are known liars,” adding, “They are clearly looking for something in return.” Beerman, he added, would be “easy pickings” for seasoned jailhouse cons.

Horowitz said Beerman was willing to check himself into an inpatient facility in Santa Barbara and enroll in all-day therapy five days a week at another. The judge ruled against that option as well, persuaded by Ladinig’s arguments. “Beerman may be one of the most dangerous individuals presently being held in Santa Barbara County Jail,” he stated. “He poses a massive threat to public safety and the sanctity of the criminal justice system.”

Beerman is scheduled to appear before Judge Anderle January 15, 2020, to set the date for his preliminary hearing on murderfor-hire solicitation charges.

In the meantime, Beerman remains in solitary confinement, where he takes a shower two times a week and is separated from the n jail population.

as Williams has sent a letter to residents of Summerland congratulating himself on what he claims to have done for our community. Among other things, he says that after the Montecito debris flow, “I also delivered water to Summerland residents after Cantwell’s [market] ran out.”

Cantwell’s closed on December 4, 2017, the day the Thomas Fire began. The mudslide and debris flow occurred on January 9, 2018, closing the Highway 101 freeway until January 21. Cantwell’s did not distribute water because it no longer existed in Summerland.

After the highway closure, I walked the length of Lillie Avenue, the main street in Summerland, with my eldest son, who was visiting. We saw no sign of Mr. Williams or his staff. All of our town’s then five eating places were closed for lack of potable water. We spoke to the owner of the Nugget, who was cleaning up and said she would have opened if she had water.

For Summerland residents, who were advised not to drink their tap water, bottles of water and snacks were readily available from the Red Cross, which set up shop in the parking lot of the Summerland Post Office, which was closed. The Red Cross was there every day until the freeway opened and did excellent work in supplying water to every Summerlander who came to the parking lot.

I voted for Mr. Williams for supervisor and voted for him for the office he held previously and am disappointed with his letter to Summerlanders. He needs to be more careful with the facts.

The events reminded me of General Douglas MacArthur’s famous speech to the West Point cadets in 1962.

“Duty, honor, country: Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.”

I was so inspired by MacArthur’s words at the time that shortly after, when I was on active military duty, I framed the speech and placed it on my living room wall.

President Trump’s threatening responses to those witnesses, who spoke up for our government and the democratic principles it stands for, are also worth noting. MacArthur had something to say to naysayers like him as well.

“The unbelievers will say they are but words, but a slogan, but a flamboyant phrase. Every pedant, every demagogue, every cynic, every hypocrite, every troublemaker, and, I am sorry to say, some others of an entirely different character, will try to downgrade them even to the extent of mockery and ridicule.”

At the moment, as our Congress searches for the truth regarding our president, I cannot find any better words to describe the first week of public impeachment hearings than those three reminders — duty, honor, country.

May God continue to bless this great nation!

in Paioli, Pennsylvania, Dick served as a Radar man in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, with two tours to Korea. He eventually made his way to Santa Barbara where he met Lois, his loving wife of 65 years, while working at The Toy Factory. Always a hard worker, Dick progressed through several jobs including as a surveyor (“Powder Monkey”) with Offshore drilling, in warehousing with Channel Paper Company and ending with nearly 30 years as an electrician for Delco Electronics.

He found his passion in retirement spending 18 years as a docent with the Lake Cachuma Nature Center, assisting with, among many things, the annual Fishing Derby, and numerous building and maintenance tasks. Dick and Lois loved and enjoyed square and round dancing for over 60 years. He also enjoyed all outdoor activities including camping, golfing, water skiing, birding and lawn bowling. He will always be known as the “king of Corn Hole” to his grandchildren.

Dick is survived by his wife Lois, children Cindy (Jim) Perry and John (Brigette) Cofiell, six grandchildren and four great grandchildren. The Cofiell family would like to acknowledge and thank all the nurses/ aides with the VNA and Serenity House for all their compassion and care over his final days.

We will all miss Dick’s welcoming smile, good nature and love for family and friends. His life will be celebrated at 1:00 pm Sunday December 1, 2019 at Good Shepard Lutheran Church, 380 N. Fairview Ave. Goleta. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to VNA/ Serenity House or the Lake Cachuma Nature Center.

6/19/1958 - 11/12/2019

Paul E Bergerot was born to Paul A Bergerot and Earlene Firth in Greenville South Carolina on June 19th 1958. He was the youngest of three siblings.

Paul moved to Santa Barbara at a young age and grew up as a Santa Barbara native.

Throughout his life Paul was a talented musician, fisherman and carpenter. He spent many years in the 80’s working, drumming and touring all over the world with The Beach Boys.

He toured over 200 days a year while working with The Beach Boys and met Madeline Garvey on the road in Indianapolis Indiana. They were engaged 6 weeks after meeting and married 6 months later. Paul and Madeline were married for 29 years.

Over the last three decades Paul was also a large part of the Santa Barbara band scene.

He contributed his drumming and vocal talents to many local bands: The Tan, Right as Rain and The Molly Ringwald Project just to name a few.

Paul was well known for his carpentry skills. He got his contractor’s license and started his own business, rightfully named, Meticulous Construction in 1996. He was very detail oriented and would work hard until his projects were perfect.

In recent years Paul was a founding employee and operations manager at Ice in Paradise in Goleta where he was loved and respected by many. Paul managed the ice including the ice painting, drove the Zamboni, sharpened skates and helped accomplish anything that needed to be done at the rink.

In recent months he completed the courses required to become a Certified Ice Technician which

Vern Bengtsom

5/2/1941 - 11/8/2019

Vern Bengtson, pioneering gerontologist, sociologist, and mentor, dies at 78 In a USC career that spanned over 50 years, Bengtson explored the roles of faith and family across generations USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology Professor Vern Bengtson, a social psychologist known for his work on intergenerational relations, passed away on Friday, November 8. He was 78 years old.

“For over half a century at USC, Vern Bengtson defined excellence in gerontology through his important research, dedication to students, and commitment to exploration,” said USC Leonard Davis School Dean Pinchas Cohen. “His findings around family, religion and social change challenged many societal assumptions and are part of his legacy as a global giant in our field.”

Bengtson, who also served as a research professor at the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work and a senior scientist with the USC Edward R. Roybal Institute on Aging, originated the Longitudinal Study of

INDEPENDENT.COM

Generations, an exploration of family dynamics that tracked up to four successive generations of California families for close to 50 years and yielded rich insights about aging, conflict, values, faith and spirituality.

“Vern was the quintessential gerontologist and scholar,” said Maria Aranda, Executive Director of the USC Edward R. Roybal Institute on Aging and an associate professor of social work. “His work was a living testament to the study of enduring family interactions across generations, contemporary transmission of spiritual beliefs, and the centrality of religion in American families. He understood the greater plan of his work and played a key role in mentoring and supporting faculty, students and staff.”

Born in 1941 in Lindsborg, Kansas to a devoutly religious Evangelical Christian family, Bengtson earned his bachelor of arts degree from North Park College. He completed a master’s degree and PhD in human development and social psychology at the University of Chicago, earning his doctorate in 1967.

His experience as a religious graduate student attending school in the 1960s alongside predominately non-religious peers prompted Bengtson to explore why some people conform to the religious views of their families while others do not.

This research question would come to define his long career and led Bengtson, who joined the faculty of the newly-formed USC Andrus Gerontology Center (the future home of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology) in 1967, to start the National Institutes of Healthfunded Longitudinal Study of Generations. Respondents represented 350 different families who, over eight waves of data collection, spanned the Silent Generation, which came of age during World War I, through late 1980s-born Millennials.

Bengton’s survey results led to findings that ran counter to prevailing notions around the decline of familial influence, support and spirituality. In fact, he found that the values, attitudes and beliefs of grandparents and parents continued to be transmitted across generations.

Along with frequent USC collaborator Merril Silverstein, now the Marjorie Cantor Endowed Professor in Aging at Syracuse University, Bengtson was currently co-leading a John F. Templeton Foundation-funded study to better understand spiritual beliefs and pro-social values in the absence of religion among Millennials and their families Bengtson was the former

holder of the AARP University Chair in Gerontology. He also held a joint appointment in the sociology department of the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. Known for his theories on aging course and for a love of teaching and mentoring, Bengtson taught at USC for over 40 years and was an admired lecturer, earning three major awards for teaching from the Dornsife College and chairing 34 dissertations.

He was the author of more than 260 articles and 19 books on gerontology, theories of aging, sociology of aging and family sociology. His recent book, Families and Faith: How Religion Is Passed Down Across Generations, surveyed the religious beliefs and spirituality of multiple generations of more than 350 families.

Bengtson was a past president of the Gerontological Society of America, which recognized his research and teaching excellence with its Robert W. Kleemeier Award and a Distinguished Mentor Award. He also received two MERIT awards for research from the National Institute on Aging. Additional honors and awards include the Distinguished Scholar Award from the American Sociological Association’s Section on Aging and the Life Course, the Ernest W. Burgess Distinguished Career Award from the National Council on Family Relations, and the Reuben Hill Award from the National Council of Family Relations.

Bengtson had a heightened sense of color, light and beauty, always appreciating new ways to incorporate what he saw into his paintings of his surroundings. A lover of nature he would take to the trails for hours, sometimes with the local goats, and other times with his grandchildren.

His love of the mountains was only surpassed by his devotion to his family, his wife, Hannah, and, of course, USC football.

Bengtson was preceded in death by his daughter Julie Bengtson Gregory (Michael). He is survived by his wife Hannah Gruhn-Bengtson, his daughters, Erin Stephens (Alex), Kristina Bryte, and four grandchildren, Boz, Zoë, Zadin and Tyler.

A memorial service will be held at 1:00 pm on December 7 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Santa Barbara, CA. Photo credit to Bob Riha, Jr. Because of Vern’s love of nature, education, and his church home, Trinity Episcopal Church, it is with gratitude that the family asks in lieu of flowers that donations be made in his name to the following organizations: Trinity Episcopal Church, 1500 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 and Wilderness Youth Project (www.wyp.org).

The Master of the Really Big Show

BY R I C K M O K L E R he Santa Barbara theater community lost

helped turn Santa Barbara City College into a destination college for actor training and the SBCC Theatre Group into a powerhouse. He directed one great show after another, including a legendary production of the two-part masterpiece The Kentucky Cycle. When he retired in 2003, he was honored with the Santa Barbara Independent’s first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award for Theatre.

one of its giants when Pope Freeman passed away on October 31 due to the devastating effects of Parkinson’s disease. Pope, with his wife, Jan, by his side, had battled the disease for two decades. Like most things in their lives, they fought as a team. When Pope died peacefully at home, he was surrounded by his dearest ones: his wife, his stepdaughter, and his two children and granddaughter who had come from their homes in Europe to be with him. His oldest daughter, Meg, told me that Pope “always brought people together.”

I met Pope in 1972. I was a 24-year-old English teacher, and I had just been given the assignment to teach Theater Arts at La Colina Junior High, but I had never been in an acting class or performed in a play. I had a lot to learn, and I had to learn it fast.

Then came one of the luckiest nights of my life.

I decided to audition for the Alhecama Players production of The Man of La Mancha. It was one of the luckiest nights of my life because the play was directed by Pope Freeman.

I was new to the theater scene, but I had heard about Pope. He had only been directing in Santa Barbara for a year or so, but he had already made a huge impact on the community. His shows were terrific. He set high standards and treated everyone with kindness and respect. He made community theater something to be MASTER OF THEATER: Pope Freeman spent decades of his life directing, proud of, something that felt more acting, and teaching the art of theater. professional than amateur. His casts were like a big family, and his plays Pope was equally proud of developing an actor could hold their own against any professional group training program at SBCC that did more than just in the state. I had found my mentor.

Estella (Tillie) Escobar Gomez Judi L. Klein, daughter, mother, sister, grandmother and dear friend stepped away from her earthly body on October 31. She now knows much more about the universal plan than we do; at least until we join in her heavenly place. Judi was born June 11,1947 to Tony and Bernice Klein of Santa Barbara and is sister to Chuck Klein. Most dear to her heart is the love for her two sons, Mark Jimenez of Santa Barbara, her late son, Lamar Jimenez and her cherished granddaughter, Kaitlyn Jimenez, her brother Chuck and sis-in-law, Deborah Breedon. Judi bids farewell for now to her family and many friends, all who will miss her infectious smile, her exuberant laugh and the tapping of her toes to the music she loved. Judi was a woman of strength and determination who met many challenges in her life head on, never allowing them to detract from her love for life. For Judi, finding hope in every day meant the glass was more than half full.

Judi attended elementary through high school in Goleta and Santa Barbara. In everything, Judi was ‘all in’. A valued employee included working for a local orchid grower, a fourteenyear administrative position with Vetronix/Bosch and most recently Subcontractor Management for Cold Spring Engineering, LLC. Paramount in Judi’s life was her love and respect for animals. Possessing natural skills and a special magic around animals she started a local pet sitting business, Animals Seeking Kindness (ASK).

Her enthusiasm as a companion to the furry friends of others was rewarding and healing. Judi was an artist with a keen sense of creating art assemblage from treasures she found along her way. Her creations reflected her observations and her story as she lived it. Enjoying every aspect of nature Judi loved the freedom of a hike among towering trees or feeling the breezes pass while bicycling the Obern Trail. She learned horseback riding so she could gallop the local beaches.

Given the chance to go dancing, Judi was on the floor until the band unplugged. Watching historical documentaries and old movies was another of her favorite past times.

COVER STORY

THE SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT HONORS OUR

local Heroes A

great guitarist who jams in public parking lots. A chef who cooks for those in need. Two doctors, father and son, who add kindness to the art of healing. These are some of this year’s Local Heroes 2019. Their stories are tales of volunteerism, neighborliness, philanthropy, and countless selfless acts.

The Santa Barbara Independent launched its first issue ever, three decades ago, by celebrating the Local Heroes of 1986. We’ve repeated the recognition every Thanksgiving week since. And every year since, our readers have nominated outstanding people in our community, many of whom have never received recognition.

The staff of the Santa Barbara Independent sends our gratitude to all the heroes, past and present, who have made Santa Barbara County such an amazing place to live. They inspire us all.

RACHAEL ROSS STEIDL Youth Mental Health Advocate

When Rachael Ross Steidl sees a problem, she jumps in and figures out how to improve the situation.

When one of her teenaged daughters struggled with depression, however, Steidl discovered that she couldn’t just jump in and rescue her. She and her family realized there was a severe lack of local resources to help their daughter. And they also encountered the terrible stigma that surrounds mental illness.

“Many people in our lives at that time simply did not feel comfortable reaching out to offer our daughter or our family support,” Steidl explained. “It was a difficult journey and one I would never wish on anyone.”

That’s when Steidl did jump in and began focusing her efforts on youth mental health.

“I had no idea at the time what that meant. I started by having conversations with school counselors, providers, parents, and students, trying to figure out why so often youth had to be in crisis before they could get services,” she said.

Four years ago, Steidl and her youngest daughter, working with the Mental Wellness Center, started a Youth Wellness Connection (YWC) Club at San Marcos High School where students are encouraged to talk about mental health and taught to recognize signs of distress.

There are now YWC Clubs at five high schools, plus the YWC Council, a monthly leadership meeting of students from each high school who come together for in-depth training and advocacy opportunities.

Steidl also created SPOT (Supporting Parents of Teens) a group for parents who share resources, as well as the YouthWell Coalition, a group of stakeholders who seek to raise public awareness and identify barriers to service.

Steidl’s efforts have helped educate, illuminate, and remove the shame associated with mental illness. Yet she pointed out, “I believe that when we start dropping off a lasagna for a family struggling with a mental-health illness the same way we do when someone is battling a physical illness, we will have turned a corner.”

TOM G. ANDERSON AND TOM R. ANDERSON Father-Son Physicians Dr. Tom G. Anderson just celebrated 36 years with Sansum Clinic. He’s a rarity in this day of high-speed transactions in that he takes his time with his patients at Urgent Care. Dr. Anderson’s been known to give a patient a ride to the ER, even though his clinic “discourages me from doing this, but sometimes it just feels like the right thing to do.” Caring, compassionate, kind, and committed to helping others is a description that fits Dr. Anderson like a tailored coat. For the past 13 years, he has set up temporary shop in Haiti, sometimes attending to 200 patients in a single day. Dr. Anderson believes God has blessed him with his family and career, and he “strives to use whatever skills I have to make every day the best day ever and to respect and love everyone … always.”

When he first joined the staff of what was known then as the Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic, Dr. Thomas G. Anderson would take his 5-year-old son, Tom R., with him on weekend nights to the Emergency Department. Tom R. remembers roaming the halls as a boy and “watching my father take care of patients. … It was thrilling.” Now he is also a doctor working in the same Urgent Care clinic as his father.

Shortly after medical school, the young Dr. Anderson did a stint at Arlington Hospital near the Pentagon, where he was on 9/11. His experience that day, helping in a chaotic emergency room, made him focus on emergency medicine. Like his father, he is fascinated by the nature of the work, the variety of symptoms, the complexity of issues, the ability to work with incredible nurses and colleagues, and to “appreciate patients on a human level … believing that everyone is loved equally by God.” Dr. Anderson says of his son, “It is a real thrill for me to work alongside him several days each week. I am very proud of him.” Dr. Anderson says of his father, “To be mentioned in the same breath as my father is a great compliment and honor.”

KIM SCHIFFER

Cooking from the Heart

“Everybody needs to eat, right?” asked chef Kim Schiffer in a slight Southern accent through chuckles when asked why she’s shared so much of her cooking and time with various causes and deserving people over the past three decades. “It’s so easy to just make it happen for people in need. There’s not enough love in the world, so it’s the way I can channel love.”

A Louisiana native who came to Santa Barbara by way of Boulder, Colorado, nearly 30 years ago, Schiffer ran Fresh Eats Catering for 25 years while raising her three children.

Each year, she would select six to 10 events for which to donate her services. She also ran the Empty Bowls kitchen for seven years and taught cooking via SBCC’s popular Adult Ed series for a decade.

Her selflessness started early. “When I was 10, my neighbor needed her dresses ironed,” she recalled. “I’ve always done service.”

Today, her private chef job doesn’t allow as much time for big events, but she still prepares meals for sick family or friends celebrating important life milestones, ever excited to spread the gospel of healthy food. “People are afraid of food,” she said. “I’m always wanting to fix that dish that will bring people over to the other side of fresh vegetables.”

That glee for good food comes down to making marmalade for the postal worker and passing out small bottles of prickly pear juice, whose anti-inflammatory, antioxidant qualities comes in a vibrant shade of hot pink. “It makes people happy because the color is so pretty,” said Schiffer.

She’s always championed farmers who grow sustainably. “I vote with my dollars — I spent a lot of money at the farmers’ market,” she said. “I support farmers who are passionate about their particular field, whether it’s the ocean or the ranch of the farm. They make me look real good.”

BRUCE GOLDISH Free Music for the Masses

In 2005, magical guitar music began emanating from public parking lots in downtown Santa Barbara during the evening, and it’s been a regular if mysterious feature of State Street almost ever since. The man to thank for these sonic blessings is Bruce Goldish, whose string serenades still waft from the impromptu amphitheater most weekend nights. The only hiatus came in 2016 when a disgruntled parking lot worker forced a temporary shutdown, which raised such an ovation of support that the city actually made a special law to keep Goldish jamming.

Originally from “[Bob] Dylan country” in Duluth, Minnesota — “He’s my great aunt’s nephew,” confirmed Goldish — the self-taught guitarist started picking at age 17 and traveled the country as a nurse until he found Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, which felt like home. He’s been an ICU nurse there ever since, working alongside his wife, Shannon Goldish, whom he married six years ago. He’s always recorded his own albums and played live gigs around town, but then Parking Lot 9 came calling.

“One time, when I parked on the second floor, I thought I’d check out how my guitar sounded off all that concrete and out over State Street, and it just swept me away,” recalled Goldish, whose fans have included couples slow dancing, children fast dancing, and hugs from the homeless and cops alike.

“While I’m sure there are folks who aren’t into it, every time I play that spot, the intensity of gratitude from those who do has kept me coming back for 15 years.”

One recent night, not many people came by, but a transient stopped to write in his notebook, “I’ve been having a really hard time. Seeing and hearing you made my day better. Thank you.”

“That stuff really hits home,” said Goldish.

In 1999, Clampett and two other yoga teachers — Scott Blossom and Janet Stein — approached the clinic that was then known as the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara about starting a yoga program for patients. Twenty years later, the Therapeutic Yoga Program is a mainstay of the center’s offerings, with six classes a week for patients, and one for medical practitioners and staff.

Classes combine restorative yoga postures with gentle yoga, guided meditation, breath work, and therapeutic touch to reduce stress, support healing, and help manage side effects. Before moving to Santa Barbara, Clampett worked in Los Angeles during the AIDS crisis, bringing yoga to the HIV+ population and to hospice.

One patient, Judy Light, said, “Cheri has helped thousands of survivors navigate the shock of a cancer diagnosis. She offers to wrap us in blankets if we are cold, gently helps modify postures, and overall acts as a doting mother in our hour of need. … Cheri is the closest thing to an angel on earth that I’ve met in my 63 years on this planet.”

Clampett believes she also benefits from her work with patients. “It’s an honor to create a sanctuary where people can come to feel, breathe, and focus on their healing. I continue to be inspired and to learn so much from this beautiful community of people.”

SUSAN CUMMINGS HOLIDAY TRUNK SHOW Visit the Museum Store for a special holiday trunk show with Ojai jewelry designer Susan Cummings. The creative inspiration behind Susan’s designs lies in the softened, somewhat unrefined forms found in everyday life. These forms drive her design direction, along with the observance of how objects co-exist together in nature and how their chaotic ways make them beautiful and perfect in their imperfection. She blends these unconventional forms with hand chosen, premier materials to create an anciently sophisticated yet casual lifestyle collection.

See these new ancient-inspired designs at the Museum Store!

SAM SOGA

Meritorious Scoutmaster

Sam Soga had his first real brush with the outdoors growing up in Japan during World War II. “We had to evacuate the city and go to the backcountry,” Soga recalled. “We didn’t have running water … [or] any electricity.”

After the war, that experience led him to join the Boy Scouts of Japan, where he rose to the highest rank of Fuji Scout. At a World Scout Jamboree, Soga met a Japanese-American scout who later invited him to this country.

Soga moved to Santa Barbara in 1963, married his sweetheart, Donna, and worked as a mechanical engineer. In 1976, he read that a local troop was looking for a scoutmaster.

Boy Scout Troop 26 turned out to be a small group of boys without much discipline. “I hate to say it, but it didn’t really look like a Boy Scout troop. … It was a bunch of hoodlums running around,” said Soga. During his tenure as scoutmaster, Soga transformed the troop and, in the process, hundreds of young lives.

Troop 26 became and remains one of the region’s top units. Its outdoor activities have included weeklong treks in the Sierras, multi-day bike rides, and white-water rafting on Kern River. And Soga, now 82, is still going strong as an assistant scoutmaster. This January, he joined a backpacking trip to Mammoth, where scouts made their own snowshoes to trek through six-foot-deep snow. Soga has also always instilled in his scouts the importance of serving their community. By his calculations, his unit has performed 805 hours of community service so far this year. But that doesn’t include the scouts at this year’s Rescue Mission’s Thanksgiving Feast, serving pumpkin pies they baked themselves. “It’s not always pretty,” Soga admitted, since some of the pies are often a little bit burned, “but they don’t care,” he said. “We’ve been doing it for I don’t know how many years. … You add it up together, and it’s worth a lot to the community.”

HOLLY MCCORD DUNCAN First-Generation College Advisor

For a first-generation college student, walking across the graduation stage is life-changing not just for them, but for their entire family and future generations after them. Getting there isn’t easy, though, especially when you’re the first in the family to do so.

Cue Holly McCord Duncan.

Duncan has worked in higher education for over 20 years, but six years ago, when she realized most parents and kids didn’t ask the right questions about choosing colleges, she began her own business, Smart College Admission. “Being a part of someone’s success is so rewarding,” Duncan said. “It is its own form of payment.”

When it comes to actual payment, Duncan offers her services free of charge to first-generation students. She defines first-generation as anyone entering a four-year university whose parents don’t have a bachelor’s degree.

“As awesome as community colleges are, it’s proven that first-generation students who go straight into a four-year college are much more likely to finish than those who have to transfer later on,” Duncan said. “If I won the lottery, my dream would be to offer my services for free to everyone, even those who aren’t first-generation.”

Duncan spends an average of 40-60 hours with each high school student, helping them assess which colleges will be the best fit, not just academically but also socially.

She helps them apply to the colleges, brainstorm essay ideas together, search for scholarships, and apply to other programs, such as work-study positions.

“A degree from a brand-name college won’t necessarily make you successful,” she said. “I’m all about helping them find the perfect fit that will allow them to thrive.”

JUDITH LUGO

A Mentoring Pal

Eleven years ago, Judie Lugo was the last person you’d expect to find hanging out with a cop. In her senior year at La Cuesta High School, she was helping run a gang risk intervention program.

However, when Officer Adrian Gutierrez asked her to work for the Santa Barbara Police Activities League (PAL), she accepted. “I was told to never trust a cop, but for some reason, I trusted Officer Gutierrez,” she said.

Right after graduation, 18-year-old Lugo began as an administrative assistant at PAL, a program that aims to build mentor relationships between police and teens, particularly those who have a history of disciplinary issues.

She also continued at the gang risk program, until her whole world turned upside down. One of the gang members she was working with stabbed someone to death on the Westside.

“I felt like I had failed,” Lugo said. “I was hated on both ends. The cops didn’t trust me because I was working with that gang member, and nobody in the gang program trusted me because I worked with cops.”

But when another gang member said her work was just a “speed bump,” that she could only slow down gang members who were committed to the life, not stop them, she realized, “I was going about helping gang members the wrong way,” she said.

The kids at PAL were there by choice, however. Those are the kids who are looking for ways to change.

Now, 11 years later, Lugo is PAL’s program director. Every day, she mentors teens who want to change their lives. The new drop-in center offers tutoring, extracurricular classes, and sports, but it also offers a space for kids to just hang out after school. The kids often come from families whose parents work multiple jobs and aren’t home much.

“Many people in my life have mentored me without knowing,” Lugo said. “Now, I get to pay it back.”

JANE CAIRNS A Swimmer’s Delight

Jane Cairns has Santa Barbara singing: “Summertime, and the swimmin’ is easy.” There is physical exertion, but the Reef and Run program that she has helmed since 2009 provides refreshment and stress relief to hundreds of swimmers plunging into the ocean at East Beach every Thursday throughout the summer months.

“I believe in providing a safe atmosphere for people who want to get into the water and feel good about themselves,” Cairns said. “You’re putting yourself in absolute, true wild nature, using your body to move yourself. It’s invigorating. You can have a bad day and come out of the water feeling fantastic.”

Safety is assured by lifeguards on paddleboards as the swimmers stroke offshore at distances of 500 and 1,000 meters and one mile.

The Reef and Run experience includes post-swim servings of food, beer and hot cocoa, while a band provides live music — all for a walk-up price of $15, which has not changed in 11 years.

“Santa Barbara is so expensive to live in, I don’t want a family to come and break the bank,” Cairns said. “I’ve found some amazing sponsors.”

She has taken proceeds from the weekly events and donated them to the Santa Barbara Junior Lifeguards, as well as holding a special fundraiser for the Nick Johnson Scholarship Fund. “We’ve raised over $26,000,” she said.

For the past 21 years, Cairns has also been director of the annual Semana Nautica 6-Mile Ocean Swim. A former UCSB swimmer in the individual medley and backstroke, she won that long-distance race numerous times after graduating in 1992. But her organizing responsibilities have curtailed her own time in the water. “I’m bummed I’m too busy to swim my events,” she said, “but I’m happy to see people enjoy themselves and have an ‘Aloha’ family feeling at the beach.”

LILIANA ENCINAS Grand Mistress of Emergency Response

Liliana Encinas is recognized state- and nationwide for her innovative work translating community emergency-response programs — known as CERT — into not only languages other than English, but in ways that the program fits into different cultures.

One class in her Listos program, for example, is called Fire Safety and Cooking. “Listos” is Spanish for “ready,” and it’s part of her master plan to engage all of Santa Barbara’s community — no matter what language they speak — in preparing for disaster. The program engages the entire family. “We talk about kids in the kitchen, wearing chanclas [flip-flops], and having dangerous extension cords with too many plugs in them,” she explained.

“We teach the Listos participants to be ambassadors —on the bus, in the grocery store — so that more people learn about the power shutoffs or know about the Listos program,” she said. Her ambassadors have included surgeons, nurses, engineers, architects—people with advanced degrees from Mexican universities whose credentials were not accepted in the United States — and also construction workers, retired folks, and mothers and fathers. She laughed as she described how eagerly teens and kids would jump in to help their parents work out maps of possible evacuation routes.

Encinas credits the support she gets from City Fire as an important part of her classes. “They see the chiefs in their uniforms at our classes,” she said, “and they feel this must be important.”

And it’s an important way to lower the barriers that exist between the Spanish-speaking community and officials in uniform. “It’s beautiful to see how receptive they are to what’s not a very interesting subject in very busy lives. Why be prepared? But they gain a plan to use in any emergency, in any disaster.”

Many ambassadors with a variety of abilities have taken advanced CERT courses to become trainers themselves. “One of my best teachers is blind,” Encinas said. “He’s even better than me.”

LORENZO MARTINEZ JR. Percussionist and Feeder of the Hungry

Growing up in the world-renowned musical Martinez family gave Lorenzo Martinez Jr. an insider’s perspective on Santa Barbara’s most legendary celebrations. Whether it was at the El Paseo Restaurant during Fiesta or the Biltmore on Butterfly Beach, from a young age, he was on the bandstand, making great music with his brothers and his dad. “There were lots of instruments around the house, and there were always rehearsals going on. I play percussion, timbales, vibes, and sax,” he said. “I kind of grew into it.”

But music was not all the young man grew into. Soon after he married his wife, Maria, 45 years ago, Martinez began working to help our most vulnerable neighbors and to make sure everyone in our community healthy food to eat. First, he became the food program coordinator for Santa Barbara Catholic Charities on Haley Street, where he served for 21 years, and today he is working at PATH, the shelter on Cacique Street formerly known as Casa Esperanza. It was there that Martinez negotiated a relationship with Vons and Trader Joe’s that cleared the donated food market of some bad actors and ensured that the homeless people in our community would have reliable sources of meals for years to come.

All this time, Martinez continued playing music with his family band, often performing with an all-star cast of our city’s most famous and most generous musicians, such as Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, and Joe Cocker. During those 47 years as a musician, Martinez has provided the ultimate Santa Barbara experience for hundreds of weddings and parties. He has helped keep Santa Barbara’s traditions alive. In his combined roles as musician and as community leader, Lorenzo Martinez Jr. has earned his place among these great names as one of Santa Barbara’s true heroes.

This one-day workshop offers a unique art experience for children to gain inspiration from original works of art in the Museum’s collection and create handmade cards, prints, ornaments, and more. Students draw, paint, print, collage, and sculpt artful gifts to share with friends and family.

VIRGIL ELINGS Philanthropist

For Virgil Elings, the philanthropic lightning bolt struck while eating at Carrows. His waitress was a single mom who had maxed out her credit and was in danger of losing her home. Elings offered to loan her $10,000. She asked, “Ten thousand dollars doesn’t mean that much to you, does it?” He thought, “You can use it better than me.” But still, her remark struck.

Gruff, impish, and outspoken, Elings — a machinist, engineer, physicist, and UCSB professor — amassed a fortune making hyper-powerful microscopes. His first serious gift was to what was then Las Positas Park, the only privately owned but publicly accessible park in the nation. When an employee once demanded of Elings, “Why don’t you use some of your money for something useful?” Elings shot back, “Like what?” At the time, the park was hoping to acquire an adjoining parcel popular with hang gliders. Fastforward several million bucks, the land was bought, and Los Positas Park was renamed Elings Park. The story illustrates two key aspects of Elings’s approach. He likes to make things happen that otherwise would not. And he’s not bashful about getting his name on buildings. After he’s gone, Elings wants people to wonder, “Who the hell was that guy?”

Based on the many millions Elings has given away — to UCSB’s Engineering Department; to Dos Pueblos High School’s engineering program, its theater, and its pool; to Transition House; to Girsh Park’s baseball field; and to Direct Relief, a lot of people will be asking that very question. But it’s not all about the name.

When Elings was diagnosed with prostate cancer several years ago, he volunteered to cover the cost of 1,000 colonoscopies, a procedure he credits for his early detection.

Recently, he donated $4 million to Sansum’s new cancer center. “You can’t possibly know how you change the future,” Elings mused. “But I think we put a dent in it.”

DAN GARSKE Music Man

“I really love being able to work with high school kids because they can really achieve at a pretty high level when they put their mind to it,” said Dos Pueblos music director Dan Garske, who has been teasing melodic excellence out of area high school students for nearly three decades. Born in Wisconsin, Garske moved to Santa Barbara with his family when he was 12 years old. “I went to school at La Cumbre, and then San Marcos,” he said, “and then USC,” where he got a degree in music education.

After college, Garske took a job as music director at Santa Barbara High. After seven years there, he took over the music department at his high school alma mater, San Marcos, which he helmed for 26 years. There he crafted award-winning troupes that participated in national performances and competitions, including the marching band’s appearance at the Orange Bowl’s halftime one year. “Besides the great musical experience that they have at these kinds of events, it’s a learning experience for many kids who have never been on a plane or never actually been in snow before,” he explained.

Having created top-notch musical programs at Santa Barbara High, San Marcos High, and now Dos Pueblos, where he’s been for four years, one wonders: What’s his secret? “It’s a combination of a good teacher who has good assistants,” he explained.

Finances are also a factor, Garske said, and he feels lucky to “always had a lot of parent booster support” and funds from the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation.

Currently, Garske is prepping the Chargers’ concert band for a performance at New York City’s Carnegie Hall in March. “It’s a pretty rigorous application,” he said, “but based on our ratings at festivals the last two years, we got offered a spot. I hope it’s something they remember for the rest of their lives.”

MARGIE BUSHMAN AND WES ROE Permaculture Network Founders Everywhere you look, there’s evidence that the way humans have been using the earth can’t continue without dire consequences. Through the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network, people are focusing on natural solutions rather than man-made problems. This positive orientation informs the ethical lens through which permaculture advocates Margie Bushman and Wes Roe view the planet. As subscribers to the permaculture motto of “Earth care. People care. Fair share,” Bushman and Roe have tended the garden of their nonprofit educational organization, the Santa Barbara Permaculture Network, since 2000. Together, they have brought hundreds of experts to Santa Barbara over the years to teach about this comprehensive approach to design that strives to reconcile human communities with the ecological imperatives of a living planet.

Whether the topic is rainwater harvesting, food forests, or the rehydration of the landscape through the reintroduction of diminished species such as beavers, these permaculture mavens either know everything about it, or they know someone who does. Through their permaculture design courses at Santa Barbara City College, they are training an intergenerational coalition to speak to the world, an ambition that they say Southern Californians are uniquely positioned to fulfill. They point out that one of every four residents in our region was born in another country, meaning that what happens here resonates globally. As frequent participants in the far-flung permaculture convergences, these two know what’s happening in other parts of the world from direct experience. If there’s one message that comes through louder than all the others from this dynamic duo, it’s this observation about what they’ve seen in their travels. There are people living elsewhere whose relation to climate change is such that they can’t put things off.

EDUARDO GONZALEZ

The Wiz of La Casa de la Raza

In any long-standing organization, there is a person who holds the keys to all the doors, who knows what’s behind those myriad doors, and who is the first person on anyone’s contact list to text if they need something. For La Casa de la Raza, that person is Eduardo Gonzalez. Known to most as “Eddie,” Gonzalez has done everything from running the Youth Center, to working security at events, to helping put up the antenna on the roof for KZAA, La Casa’s low-wattage radio station.

The antenna-raising illustrates Gonzalez’s varied skill sets. The technical issues, the funding, the construction — it took a lot organizing and no small amount of talking on Gonzalez’s part with the people he recalled could help get it done, maybe for free?

Maybe for a little bit of cost? Oh, no? Well, do you know someone who might be able to help us?

He took the same tack when the Thomas Fire blanketed Santa Barbara with smoke.

Many parents still had to go to work when schools closed, so Gonzalez and La Casa’s staff reached out to the community for support — opened the building and provided meals with Foodbank; brought in tutors for math, English, and art; and allowed the kids to play ball in the concert hall — despite the debris flow and La Casa’s serious financial woes.

But if you ask him about his job at La Casa — he’s also a para-educator in the special ed program at Montecito Union—Gonzalez answers: “I’m part of a huge team of people.” That’s certainly true, as the institution still rents its halls for weddings, parties, concerts, and other special events—with Eddie Gonzalez often being the one locking up when the night is done.

KAREN ATLAS Animal Healer

For the past 12 years, Karen Atlas has been helping injured dogs get back on their feet — literally. For example, she recently worked with a 180-pound Saint Bernard who was paralyzed. The dog’s owners ignored their veterinarian’s recommendation to put her down and instead went to see Atlas.

“I referred them to a neurologist down south,” she said. “They did decompression surgery, and then we rehabbed her. She is walking and enjoying life.”

Atlas earned a master’s degree in physical therapy from UC San Francisco and spent more than a decade working with people. But she switched to pooches after adopting an injured dog whose recovery was aided by physical therapy. In 2009, Atlas established HydroPaws with Dr. Dave Dawson in San Roque Pet Hospital. Two and a half years ago, she opened her own rehabilitation center, Atlas Rehabilitation for Canines. Atlas and her team offered their services to search and rescue dogs working in the wake of 2018’s mudslide so they could perform better under the grueling conditions.

Although there is a waiting list for appointments, current state laws make it difficult for standalone canine rehab centers to exist. Atlas is working to pass a legislative bill that would “regulate physical therapists and ensure consumer protection so properly trained PT’s can work collaboratively with veterinarians without unnecessary barriers,” she said.

She frequently testifies before the Veterinary Medical Board (VMB) and state legislature.

Although the bill was rejected by the VMB, Atlas isn’t abandoning the fight.

“Animals deserve our best and we need to advocate for their well-being,” said Atlas.

My hope is to increase access to animal PT’s so more dogs (and horses) can get the care they need.” she said. “It’s a gift to use my skills to make a profound difference in animals’ lives and I want that option to be available to everyone so more pets can live a better quality of life.”

BRADLEY CRABLE AND JAMES MCKARRELL The Dynamo Duo for Mental Health

At first blush, Bradley Crable and James McKarrell seem an odd couple. Crable is outrageous and wildly profane; McKarrell is soft-spoken and prays over his food.

But in the past year, the two — Crable a county mental-health crisis worker and McKarrell a sheriff’s deputy — have teamed up as part of a pilot project to help keep mentally ill people out of county jail and get them the help they need.

As members of the county’s first ever co-response unit, Crable and McKarrell have now dealt with 700 people in psychological crisis who might otherwise have wound up behind bars. What makes Crable so effective is his own personal history. At age 15, he began experiencing psychological problems and became become addicted to heroin long enough to have been in rehab 44 times. McKarrell, a sheriff ’s deputy since 2006, was struck early on by how many calls for service involved the mentally ill. At 63 and 260 pounds, McKarrell could easily rely on physical intimidation, but instead he’s focused on the quiet arts of de-escalation.

It’s all about turning the volume down so that people in crisis can comply without resorting to force. Even more, he said, it’s about showing the respect necessary to create trust. Crable and McKarrell agreed, “We have a job where you don’t get to be wrong.” McKarrell has 15 people with whom he maintains regular after-the-fact contact. He and Crable knock on lots of doors. It’s all about being there. “They tell us things they won’t tell their own families,” he said.

Ultimately, it’s about getting people to buy into their own treatment. It’s about getting results. “I’m an egomaniac,” Crable acknowledged. “I’ve got to perform.

But this job also allows me to feel good about myself.”

America’s Jewish Women: A History from Colonial Times to Today In this groundbreaking history, Pamela Nadell asks what it means to be a Jewish woman in America. Weaving together stories from the colonial era’s matriarch, Grace Nathan, and her greatgranddaughter, poet Emma Lazarus, to union organizer Bessie Hillman and the great justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Nadell shows two threads binding the nation’s Jewish women: a strong sense of self and a resolute commitment to making the world a better place. Informed by the shared values of America’s founding and Jewish identity, America’s Jewish women—the well-known and the scores of activists, workers, wives, and mothers whose names linger on among their communities and families—left deep footprints in the history of the nation they call home.

The nation’s longest running artisan holiday cooperative that delights locals and visitors to downtown Santa Barbara with an impressive display of local hand crafted creations. The Yes Store is the perfect place to find unique one-of-a-kind gifts and treasured keepsakes for someone special.

PREPARING EVERY DAY FOR THE WORST DAY EVER GLOBAL DISASTER RELIEF ORGANIZATION

SHELTERBOXUSA.ORG

SHELTER IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT Shelter is necessary for survival in most disasters: essential for safety, security, and protection from extreme weather.

It contributes to maintaining good health and resistance to disease. It provides privacy, restores human dignity, and sustains family and community life, enabling affected populations to begin the process of recovery.

There are more people displaced in our world today than at any other time in recorded history. Many of them struggle to meet their basic needs for food, water and shelter.

With no shortage of natural disasters or conflict situations, ShelterBox is working to bring emergency shelter and essential supplies to families struggling for survival.

88

MILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD are displaced because of natural disaster or conflict, more than any other time in recorded history. 75% of those displaced are women and children.

ShelterBox provides the tools that enable people to rebuild homes and transform their lives.

ShelterBox assists in the immediate response and early recovery phase. Temporary shelter is a crucial step of recovery and reconstruction in the aftermath of disasters until permanent housing solutions are available.

OUR MISSION

During disasters and conflicts, ShelterBox coordinates with the Global Shelter Cluster, which is co-chaired by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Federation of the Red Cross.

ShelterBox hand-delivers essential shelter and supplies to communities devastated by disaster and conflict situations. We envision a world where no family is left without shelter after disaster.

to provide families with life-saving shelter and essential tools and supplies that will enable them to rebuild their homes and transform their lives after disaster.

PROVIDING SHELTER, SUPPORTING RECOVERY

FATNIZAR’S STORY

WHAT’S IN A SHELTERBOX?

Tailoring support to help rebuild communities. We deliver the aid people need to begin rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of a disaster.

The ShelterBox contains a family-sized relief tent and essential supplies, including solar lights, water purification, blankets, cooking equipment and tools to start the process of creating a home.

In September 2018, Fatnizar’s village in Indonesia was destroyed by a tsunami. In an instant, she lost her home and her livelihood as a seamstress.

Within a week of receiving her ShelterBox tent and other lifesaving equipment, Fatnizar had reopened her business, sewing beneath the awning of her tent. The tent provided both a private, secure space for Fatnizar and her family, and the opportunity for her to resume work.

WHAT’S IN A SHELTERKIT?

SHELTERBOX INCLUDES: tent, kitchen set, blankets, ground mats, hats, gloves, and scarves, mosquito net, water filtration system, water carriers, solar light, box, ShelterBox tool kit with: hammer, saw, wire cutters, rope, and children’s school kit.

ESTHER’S STORY

The ShelterKits contain vital hardware including heavy-duty tarps, hand tools, ropes, and fasteners that can be used to build a shelter, repair damaged buildings and begin to rebuild a home.

23-year old Esther is originally from Boko in Nigeria. In 2014, Esther and her family were violently attacked when Boko Haram fighters stormed into their village in Nigeria. She witnessed the tragic death of her parents and her brothers then ran for her life from the attackers. She was forced to flee her home and has not returned since.

Today Esther lives in Minawao refugee camp in Cameroon, and her home was made from supplies provided by the ShelterKit.

SHELTERKIT INCLUDES: shovel, hoe, wire cutters, wire, hammer, nails , rope, tarpaulins, bag, and saw.

Esther has been able to carry on in the face of devastation, providing for her family working as a dressmaker in the camp.

WE REACH THE MOST REMOTE COMMUNITIES DELIVERING AID ANY WAY WE CAN

EACH DISASTER IS DIFFERENT AND SO IS EVERY COMMUNITY ShelterBox hand-delivers aid to disaster zones, going to the most remote parts of the world to reach people often forgotten. ShelterBox aid has been delivered by helicopters, trucks, donkeys, boats, camels, and even on the backs of volunteers.

LOCAL TO GLOBAL

AN EVENING TO EXPERIENCE SHELTERBOX In September 2019, more than 250 local people attended the annual ShelterBox event hosted by John McGovern at his private estate in Santa Barbara. From local business leaders and philanthropists, volunteers from Yardi and Impact, to dozens of local Rotarians, the community rallied around the life-saving work of ShelterBox. The evening featured interactive demonstrations with ShelterBox tents and equipment from ShelterBox Response Team members who have deployed around the world, highlighting how the aid makes a difference in the lives of people who have lost everything in a disaster.

Above: Brian Mann; George Quirin; Kerri Murray, President of ShelterBox USA; Lauren Cantin; and Kenny Loggins.

“For me, what the fires and mudslides in our community did was increase my awareness and ability to feel empathy for people around the world who lose everything in disasters.

That is why we are here helping ShelterBox. I am hoping tonight more people will become aware of ShelterBox and the scale of the disasters they are responding to.”

FIRE GUYS: Dar Roberts (left) serves as UCSB’s principal investigator of the Southern California Wildfire Hazard Center, and UCSB adjunct professor Max Moritz is a statewide Cooperative Extension wildfire specialist.

The Shifting Winds of

Fire Management California Has Two Fire Problems, and They’re Very Different

by Harrison Tasoff for The Current

T

he American West is getting hotter and drier, and that has driven a quick succession of ever-more-devastating wildfires. Clearly, we need to examine our approach to fire risk management.

It’s a complicated matter made more so, researchers say, because politicians and the public tend to conflate two rather different issues. “We are mixing up the problem of forest and fuel management with the problem of wildland-urban interface fires,” explained Max Moritz, an adjunct professor at UCSB’s Bren School of Environmental Management and a statewide Cooperative Extension wildfire specialist.

Forest management often focuses on controlling the distribution of fuels, explained geography professor Dar Roberts, who serves as UCSB’s principal investigator of the Southern California Wildfire Hazard Center. For instance, he said, fire agencies create fire breaks and conduct prescribed burns.

But those techniques don’t apply to neighborhoods and homes. The issues are not even closely related, but academics have had a difficult time communicating this to the public.

“It’s a huge part of why we’re actually not making much progress toward solving that wildland-urban interface problem,” said Moritz, “because that’s a problem of where and how we’ve built our communities.”

Changing Our Communities California sets building codes in an attempt to ensure that structures are safe, sturdy, and resilient. However, the state does not have similar codes at the community level. And according to Moritz, most of the solutions to wildland-urban interface fires lie in city planning. “You can lay out a community in a way that’s much safer: buffered, easier to evacuate, easier to defend,” he said.

For instance, developers often build houses along a perimeter road with backyards adjacent to the surrounding landscape. Planners could designate this land for irrigated parks or community gardens, which would provide a buffer zone between the community and the wildlands. The road would then serve as a firebreak, further insulating the neighborhood. “All those ideas are in people’s heads, but they’re not codified into a consistent set of best practices that apply from county to county and city to city,” said Moritz.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, also known as CalFire, does provide some higher-level suggestions, but they are mostly limited to roads, water, and fuel management. The state also issues fire hazard maps, but how those are utilized at the local level varies, Moritz said.

City planners and firefighters often have to contend with buildings and communities already in place. But there are many ways to harden an existing structure against wildfire.

Some are intuitive, like maintaining a brush- and debrisfree perimeter around a house. Tile roofs also increase fire resistance, especially if the gaps between them are covered to prevent embers from blowing underneath.

Other improvements are less apparent. “Another really easy way to better defend a house is double-paned glass,” said Roberts. Glass is fairly opaque to thermal radiation, so a double-pane window provides twice as much shielding.

The air between the two panes also offers insulation. “Given sufficient time, that window will melt,” said Roberts, “but fires often go through [a neighborhood] pretty fast, and so it doesn’t take that much to prevent the house from blowing up from the inside.”

Sometimes, the best course of action is to leave things the way they are. For instance, orchards are different from natural vegetation because they’re irrigated and green. “In Santa Barbara, the best thing we could do is preserve our orchards,” said Roberts, “because in any place we have an orchard, it actually acts as a defensible barrier against fire spread.”

Staying Safe When it comes to evacuation plans, the primary strategy in the U.S. is to get out. Unfortunately, with these large, fastmoving fires, some people aren’t leaving in time — or don’t have enough time to escape. “That’s a big part of what we saw up north this year,” said Moritz. “Lots of people leaving too late and either dying in their cars or having to get out of their cars and run.”

Both Roberts and Moritz hope that California will continue to provide early evacuation warnings. The researchers also agree that we should consider additional strategies, such as the use of local fire shelters (much like tornado shelters), which could protect individuals who find themselves outpaced by the flames.

The practice of sheltering in place is so common in Australia that the country has an associated saying: “Prepare, Stay and Defend, or Leave Early.” This strategy has now begun to emerge in the U.S. For instance, Pepperdine University in Malibu told students to shelter in place during the November 2018 Woolsey fire, since the school’s concrete buildings and well-watered lawns were unlikely to burn.

“The question is, do we want to advocate shelter-inplace?” said Moritz. “Most firefighters do not because it’s a lot of liability for them. They want to get this message really clear: ‘When we tell you to go, you go.’ And there’s no gray area here.

“But there is a gray area,” he said, “because what if people don’t get the message in time?” We don’t have an education campaign or a plan for this unfortunate and quite deadly possibility, he added.

Australia has also revamped its evacuation protocols since the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009, which claimed 173 lives. “Now there doesn’t even have to be a fire for them to trigger an evacuation,” said Moritz — the potential danger of a particularly hot, dry, windy day can prompt an evacuation order. California may do well adopting a similarly cautious approach, Roberts and Moritz suggested.

You Can Only Manage So Much Out in the wild, management works only up to a point. “Fires are behaving in ways that many of these agencies have not experienced before,” said Roberts. “Under extreme weather conditions, the best management in the forests is probably not going to be good enough.”

Different ecosystems also have different fire regimes. Yellowstone’s lodgepole pine forests have adapted to immense conflagrations that strip the landscape once every few centuries. Much of the California chaparral, on the other hand, has evolved to cope with fires sweeping through every 30 to 60 years. Many plants even require fire at some point in their lifecycles. “We want fire in those systems doing the kind of work that they’re adapted to,” said Moritz.

This is an edited version of a story originally published in The Current, UCSB’s official news site, on October 25. Read the full version at news.ucsb.edu.

Large fires can occur in surprisingly rapid succession under severe weather or drought conditions. “Under extreme conditions, it only takes maybe two or three years of recovery before a fire can easily spread through an older scar,” said Roberts. This leaves the landscape vulnerable to invasive grasses, which can go up in flame on a yearly cycle.

“It’s a positive feedback loop,” added Moritz. Other fires are driven by accumulated fuel. For these, a thick layer of dry underbrush from decades of fire suppression can lead to an inferno.

Under extreme conditions, however, fires just burn everything in their paths, added Roberts. Higher average temperatures, prolonged droughts, and lower humidity are all contributing to the region’s growing problem. “Given that there’s going to be big fires, and there’s likely going to be no way to prevent them from happening, what we need to do is figure out ways to minimize damage,” said Roberts. “We have to adapt.” n

FORD V FERRARI V FEMALE

t’s the final lap of the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race.

The drizzling day has eked into night and back again as the remaining drivers — those who haven’t burst into flames or crumpled into smoldering metal knots — close in on the last of their 3,000+ miles of looping track. Behind the wheel of a Ford GT40, the apex of American automotive ingenuity up to that exact moment, our hero impels the machine past any reasonable expectations, her 7.0-liter V8 howling. But he’s bleary-eyed. The brakes are shot. And a cockamamie order from corporate has frayed his focus. As he guns the final straightaway, set to break his own speed record, only one thought roars through my head: Ford v Ferrari is everything that’s wrong with men, packed into two very loud hours and 32 minutes.

No one asked my opinion of this movie. But since I was dragged to see it on a rare date night, and because (much to my husband’s relief) the Downton Abbey movie had already left theaters, I’m going to afflict you with a review just the same.

The film tells the true-enough story of racing-champ-turned-auto-designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and his eccentric, peppery buddy Ken Miles (Christian Bale). Together, they enlist to help Ford win a 1966 grudge match against Ferrari.

From start to finish, the flick is designed as dude-porn, and my date sighed audibly at the sight of something he called “beautiful cars.” All I saw was grown men — powerful, privileged men — behaving like children: One-upping each other in email: starshine@roshell.com boardrooms. Sideswiping each other on speedways. Sucker-punching each other on sidewalks. Men who risk their lives for the glory of barreling a few seconds faster to prove once and for all who’s got the biggest — oh, let’s call it “the purtiest toy.” At one point, someone actually says, “We’re lighter, we’re faster, and if that don’t work, we’re nastier.”

It’s like Cannonball Run, but they aren’t joking.

Let me be clear: I drive a stick (by choice), grew up on motorcycles, and love to drive fast. And while I’d rather be ogling the Crawleys’ Edwardian frocks and gleaming silver soup tureens than watching a well-oiled pit crew fueling up a roadster, I would happily watch Christian Bale unknot his shoelaces for 152 minutes. Heck, the guy once made me temporarily care about boxing, which, on a scale of unappealing sports, has racing beat by several laps.

But here’s what really punctured my tire: The only gal in the movie is a fantasy wife conceived by screenwriters who I’d wager have never actually met a woman. Her role: be gorgeous and supportive, follow her fella’s races breathlessly from the TV back home, pull up a lawn chair to watch him fistfight on the street corner, and saunter backlit into his garage bearing booze and sandwiches just when he’s feeling lowest. The only time she causes trouble is when she’s angry (livid, damnit!) that he’s not being true to himself.

Pardon me for puking in the popcorn.

Look, I see the romance and even the value in the obsessive pursuit of precision and performance. But it’s too soon to be nostalgic about when petulant white males ruled the earth. (The mere existence of a 24-hour motor race that goes around in circles over 300 times, burning through 63.7 jillion metric tons of gasoline, is proof that guys have been in charge way too long.)

Ultimately, Ford v Ferrari made me wonder what this country would look like today if we’d funneled half as much energy and money into, say, education as we have into industry — into developing thoughtful humans v. winning machines. I would have pondered deeper, but I nodded off during the film’s final race and dreamed the engines thundering in my ears were the lively roar of aristocratic British chatter at a proper Downton Abbey gala.

When that movie finally streams, I’ll subject my husband to everything that’s wrong with women, shoehorned into two hours and three minutes. Will he watch? Of course. I bring booze and sandwiches.

PEARL SOCIAL Jewel of a Cocktail Lounge I

t’s hard not to be won over by a bar-

man who describes his process as “Mr. Potato Head style — you end up with all these parts and try to figure out where they go.”

That’s how Gavin Koehn, who runs the cocktail program at the new Pearl Social, talks about creating a drink list that splits into such categories as Timeless, Rule Breakers, Come Back Kids, and Susan B. Anthony — the latter being nonalcoholic delights even a temperance leader could love. Those cocktails, along with a small but expertly curated menu of food from The Lark’s Chef Jason Paluska, are

HOSPITALITY’S

Latest Funk Zone Venture Blends

Drinks With Chef-Driven Menu

BY GEORGE YATCHISIN making Pearl Social the latest fetching Funk Zone creation from Acme Hospitality, who’s brought us The Lark, Loquita, Tyger Tyger, and so forth.

Occupying the former Les Marchands space, Pearl Social transforms the room into something somehow both larger, with most of the wine bottles and the central wall of windows removed, and more intimate, with its deep-blue-painted walls.

There will be music at least five nights a week, sometimes vinyl (if you bring in five playable LPs, you can trade them for a cocktail), often combos, and a ticketed event once a month (opening night featured musicians who regularly play with Jackson Browne and David Crosby).

“We don’t want it to seem like some pretentious hotel bar or a New York place

with bartenders with waxed mustaches,” Koehn asserted. “We have no attitude. We just want to do what cocktails should do — be about having fun.”

So, one of Koehn’s hidden rules for drink creation is that it must be something new.

“We wanted to differentiate ourselves from The Lark and Loquita in particular, which are about being seasonal,” he said about the sister properties. He’d know, as he ran the latter’s bar program for a spell before working as a brand ambassador for Gin Mare.

“Instead,” he said, “we will offer classic riffs and unique spirits.”

Take one of the current showstoppers from the Rule Breakers section: the Starling. It starts with Golden Moon Kummel, which Koehn refers to as Scandinavian caraway gin, but then it’s also got pine, fino sherry (there’s his time at Loquita showing), and tonic. Add it up, and you get a gin and tonic more floral and less juniper, plus there’s a secret — two dashes of Rumple Minze peppermint liquor for a hint o’ mint. “I’d like to think we’re the only bar to keep it in a dasher bottle,” joked Koehn.

That cocktail has a perfect pairing waiting on the food menu: Smoked Trout Dip served with malt vinegar Kennebec potato chips, dill pickled fennel, trout roe, and celery. Chef Paluska said the dish “is cool; it’s fun; it makes sense. It’s a play on fish and chips.” But, of course, it’s also both elegant and simple.

Paluska holds up San Francisco’s acclaimed bar Trick Dog as a model.

Recalling how he got to attend an opening event there in 2012, he recalled, “I looked at the menu, and it was chef-driven. They were actually doing the culinary side, as well. That resonated with me.” Trying to achieve the same at Pearl Social, he makes clear that “the menu will evolve a lot as we see what works and what doesn’t.” The opening menu had oysters, for example,

VEGAN GREENGO TROUBLE: Police are

reporting that Tyler David Beerman, age 33 and the owner of Mexican restaurant Vegan GreenGO at 3613 State Street, has been charged with soliciting the murder of his ex-girlfriend, the murder of a judge, and the murder of two Sheriff ’s officials from County Jail.

It’s also alleged that, in December 2018, Beerman and a current girlfriend were

charged with stalking Beerman’s exgirlfriend. When I met Beerman in May 2018, he was very kind and more than a little charismatic. I don’t yet know the status of the eatery.

DEAN COFFEE COMING: Reader Eric says

that at 6100-1 Hollister Avenue, a newly built office plaza directly across the street from High Sierra Grill, there is a sign on the window for “Dean — a Coffee Shop.” I stopped by to check it out and confirmed, but it will be awhile before they open.

TURKEYS TO YOU: Reader Saul says that

delivery of a traditional Thanksgiving meal will be available this year through Restaurant Connection.

Participating eateries include Stella Mare’s, Ca’Dario (Goleta), Sunshine Café, Wine Bistro, Due Lune Cucina, and Dargan’s Irish Pub. See restaurant connectionsb.com.

Here is a list of area eateries that have opened in the last year:

BOSSIE’S BIG YEAR: Bossie’s Kitchen was opened earlier this year by Christina Olufson (left) and Lauren Herman.

Due Lune Cucina will be open on Thanksgiving and serving a special Thanksgiving menu as well as their normal dinner menu. The meal, which includes roasted turkey breast, chestnut stuffing, mashed potatoes, string beans, and cranberry sauce, costs $32.

DUE LUNE THANKSGIVING:

ISLA VISTA OPENINGS: Reader Joe tells me

that Wecook at 901 Embarcadero Del Mar, #100, has closed and that a new restaurant named Su’s Bowl is now open at that address under new ownership. Last June, I wrote that 2019 UCSB alumna Sophie Xu had purchased Sweet Alley at 955 Embarcadero del Mar in Isla Vista and planned to transform it into Vons Chicken, a San Jose–based franchise that serves over 10 different renditions of authentic Korean fried chicken. Reader Joe says Vons Chicken is now open and that Sophie Xu is also the owner of Su’s Bowl. Apparently Xu is building a small empire, as she also owns Uniboil in Old Town Goleta and has a fourth restaurant in her sights.

SBIFF TO HONOR

SCARLETT JOHANSSON AND ADAM DRIVER

2018 Teen Star winner Daniel Geiger

TEEN STAR FINALISTS On a recent November day, teenagers warmed up their vocal cords in anticipation of the 2020 Santa Barbara Teen Star tryouts. Formatted like American Idol, SBTS has been holding open auditions each fall since its inception in 2010 in order to select 10 teens to compete in its February Finale, during which a panel of judges and audience members vote for who will take the title.

The finalists, who are from five area high schools, with San Marcos students securing half of the spots, will spend the next few months perfecting their performances with the help of a celebrity mentor.

Andie Bronstad, San Marcos High School (10th grade)

Katy Caballero, San Marcos High School (10th grade)

Lauren Cantin, San Marcos High School (11th grade)

Bridget DeVine, San Marcos High School (11th grade)

While Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver are perhaps best known for their blockbuster roles — Black Widow in Marvel’s Avenger movies and Kylo Ren in Star Wars, respectively — the two actors have spent much of their careers playing complicated, heady characters in award-winning films.

In director Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story, Johansson and Driver team up to play a couple going through an arduous divorce that tests their mettle in both their personal and professional lives. For their stellar performances in the film, which hits theaters on December 6, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival has named them Outstanding Performers of the Year. “They both are such lyrical performers, imbuing their acting with keen sensitivity and intellect. Together in Baumbach’s Marriage Story, they regaled us with their best work to date,” said SBIFF’s executive director, Roger Durling.

HOMEWRECKERS

A

aron Glantz is a master of the art of investigative journalism. He’s won two Peabody awards and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His latest book, Homewreckers, is a scorching examination of the greed that crashed the American economy in 2008 and robbed millions of people of the cornerstone of their wealth: their homes. Glantz anchors Homewreckers in personal stories of people who battled to stay in their homes, but he is masterful at connecting these individual stories to the larger story and to the history of housing in America.

Glantz accomplishes the latter by contrasting the government’s response to the Great Depression with its response to the crash of 2008.

Although marred by racial discrimination, the primary intent of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration was to keep people in their homes and to promote home ownership, so the government became a lender, guaranteeing mortgages and covering any losses. Fast-forward to 2008, and the response from successive administrations

An Evening with

Esther Perel is radically different. First, George W. Bush and then Barack Obama rushed to rescue banks that had gambled and lost on risky mortgage-backed securities. Because nei neither administration wanted thou thousands of foreclosed homes on the government’s books, they were very receptive when investor groups led by the likes of Steve Mnuchin, Tom Barrack, Wilbur Ross, and Stephen Schwarzman offered to buy the properties, for a song, of course, and with generous terms that essentially guaranteed they could not lose a dime. Homeowners facing fore foreclosure received no such largesse.

At its core, Homewreckers: How a Gang of Wall Street Kingpins, Hedge Fund Magnates, Crooked Banks, and Vulture Capitalists Suckered Millions Out of Their Homes and Demolished the American Dream is about financial capitalism and the transformation of the venerable single-family home from a necessity to a commodity and speculative asset.

“If rigged housing policies have created our wealth gap,” Glantz writes, “perhaps it is time to rig them back in the other direction.”

At the Theatre. As directed Jurkowitz Theatre

by Katie Laris, the Kate Wed., Nov. 20.

Hammill adaptation of Austen’s novel functioned as a kind of literary playground for the young cast. Combining powerful effects from physical theater such as the standing bed trick and rolling furniture with Austen’s potent language & ENTERTAINMENT resulted in a heady experience.

REVIEWS

At the story’s heart are two splendid leading roles — the Dashwood sisters, Marianne (Miranda Ortega) and Elinor (Penny O’Mahoney). Together, they take on the Regency marriage market, a gossip-saturated game of musical chairs in which those without inherited fortunes, be they male or female, must remain forever standing, permanently alone and shamefully unwed. Their paths to happiness are forked, and excellent turns by Ryan Ostendorf (as Edward Ferrars) and Ryan Rathbun (as John Willoughby) give the Dashwoods a merry chase along the way.

Director Katie Laris has a terrific crop of actors on her hands at SBCC, in part thanks to the excellent training several of them received in our area high schools. We can look forward to many more exciting productions from this talented cohort.

CRIME FAMILY

BY RUSTY UNGER

ADDICTIVE AMERICAN SERIES

O

rganized crime families may have originated overseas, but in the 21st century, Americans are killing this category in addictive miniseries.

Bloodline (Netflix): Do you mind watching just one season out of three? Set in and around a family-run hotel in the Florida Keys, generations and siblings are pitted against each another in a struggle to keep the inn above water and some of its heirs out of hot water. The betrayals and surprises are almost as good as the performances of Ben Mendelsohn as the black sheep of the family and Kyle Chandler (the coach from Friday Night Lights) as the oldest son/local detective. It’s these guys and the other amazing actors who make you really care about the pretty good plot. Other seasons aren’t as satisfying.

Ozark (Netflix): This show has been compared to Breaking Bad because its main character, Marty (Jason Bateman), swerves from upright citizen to low-down criminal.

That’s not fair to Ozark, which is great in its own much smaller, urbane way. Marty is a prosperous, half-bent Chicago financial planner; Laura Linney is his wife and the mother of their two nice kids, but they grab the family and run after crossing a Mexican cartel. They wash up in Osage Beach, Missouri, which Marty has rashly prom-

ised to be a fantastic place to repay the cartel while laundering their money. Though two local small-time crime families and some innocent bystanders keep getting in the way, the couple brilliantly, frighteningly, and often hilariously surmounts every unexpected obstacle. Julia Garner won an Emmy as a complicated, cold-blooded Ozark teen, and Linney does a star turn throughout.

The Path (Hulu): This series focuses on the leading family in an upstate New York New-Age-y cult, which is its own kind of twisted, sprawling dynasty. Here, the crimes are not financial so much as psychological, with the extraordinary Aaron Paul (Jesse in Breaking Bad) as its centerpiece. Hugh Dancy as his rival is riveting. (Three seasons).

Gomorrah (Netflix; subtitles): This Italian series about a Neapolitan Mafia family is based on a good book that became an excellent movie, with this four-season series surpassing them all. It’s dark and violent and you won’t see any pretty Italian scenery, but the acting, directing, and writing are as brilliant as it gets. For my euro, it’s almost on a par with The Wire (for which I also needed subtitles). Somehow in the last few years, I watched three or four seasons, but I only see the first two playing now on Netflix. n

Riviera

NOW SHOWING A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (109 mins., NR) Tom Hanks dons Fred Rogers’s button-up sweater and sneakers for his portrayal of the TV icon in this biopic. Based the 1989 Esquire article, the film shows how the jaded journalist Lloyd Vogel’s (Matthew Rhys) life is transformed after spending time with Rogers for the story.

21 Bridges (99 mins., R) Chadwick Boseman plays NYPD detective Andre Davis, who makes the call to shut down the 21 bridges leading in and out of Manhattan in order to trap —and find—two alleged cop killers.

Stephan James, Taylor Kitsch, Sienna Miller, and J.K. Simmons also star.

visionary designer, Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon), and his British driver, Ken Miles (Christian Bale), who were determined to build a car that could beat the Ferrari racing team at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France.

The Good Liar (109 mins., R) Sir Ian McKellen stars in this thriller as a Roy, a con artist who begins to fall in love with his mark, a wealthy widow, Betty (Helen Mirren). Based on Nicholas Searle’s book of the same name.

Harriet (125 mins., PG-13) Cynthia Erivo (Widows, Bad Times at the El Royale) stars in this titular role about the courageous, legendary abolitionist who guided hundreds via the Underground Railroad to freedom in the North. Leslie Odom Jr., Joe Alwyn, and Janelle Monáe also star.

O The Irishman Charlie’s Angels (118 mins., PG-13) Elizabeth Banks wrote and directed this iteration of the Charlie’s Angels storyline. The Townsend agency has gone international, with multiple teams, each with their own Bosleys. This time, Sabina (Kristen Stewart), Elena (Naomi Scott), and Jane (Ella Balinska) must work together to deactivate a dangerous technology.

Depeche Mode: Spirits in the Forest (95 mins., NR) Anton Corbijn directed this film, which includes live footage of the band’s last two concerts of their Global Spirit Tour in Berlin, Germany, and delves into the lives of six über-fans as they make their way from their hometowns to the show.

O Joker Doctor Sleep (151 mins., R) See Danny Torrance all grown up in this sequel to The Shining. Danny (Ewan McGregor), who struggles with PTSD from his experience at the Overlook Hotel, where he and his parents spent a horrific winter, has kept his psychic powers at bay enough to create a peaceful life. Everything changes, however, when he meets Abra Stone (Kyliegh Curran), who also has “the shine,” and she enlists his help to defeat the evil Rose the Hat. Frozen II (104 mins., PG) It’s been three years since Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell) and company’s last adventure, and they are about to embark on a new one. Elsa begins hearing strange sounds that call her to the north beyond Arendelle. Elsa, Anna, Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), Olaf (Josh Gad), and Sven journey afar and end up saving their kingdom.

Ford v Ferrari (152 mins., PG-13) James Mangold (Logan, 3:10 to Yuma) directs this biopic about the Ford

(209 mins., R)

Martin Scorsese’s truly masterful new film is a 3.5-hour epic spanning 40 years in the life of hitman/mob-Teamster errand thug Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro), henchman to Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino), in a long lead-up to the Teamster icon’s disappearing act. As with many a Scorsese film, from Raging Bull to Wolf of Wall Street, moments of sensory explosivity and ultra-violence punctuate a morality tale in which internal struggles and even spiritual dimensions are conveyed in a uniquely cinematic way. In this adaptation of Charles Brandt’s memoir, I Heard You Paint Houses, the terms “painting houses” and “it is what it is” take on new, chilling meaning. (JW) Riviera (122 mins., R)

Todd Phillips’s Joker is one of the year’s most jarring and introspective films.

As Arthur Fleck (aka Joker), Joaquin Phoenix’s transition from shy recluse to absolute maniac is done perfectly, using pivotal moments in the film as fuel for quintessential character development.

The music score complements the immense levels of suspense, paralleling the deterioration of Arthur’s wellbeing. While there are a few weak bits and pieces of the narrative, they aren’t enough to take away from Phoenix’s superb performance and the film as a whole. (AM) Jojo Rabbit (108 mins., PG-13) This black comedy is an adaptation of the book Caging Skies, which tells of a Hitler Youth member, 10-year-old Jojo Betzler, who discovers that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) has been hiding a Jewish girl, Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie), in their attic. Rather than turning her in, Jojo interviews her for a research book for the Nazis about Jews. Sam Rockwell and Rebel Wilson also star.

Last Christmas (102 mins., PG-13) Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Spy) offers up this rom-com about Kate (Emilia Clarke), a down-on-her-luck woman who takes a job as a department store elf during Christmas. While there, she meets Tom (Henry Golding), who ends up changing the direction of her life.

NOV 29 - DEC 5 “BAUMBACH'S BEST YET” – HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Midway (138 mins., PG-13) Six months after the Pearl Harbor attack, the U.S. struck back with a devastating Naval assault in the Pacific Theater that proved irreparable for the Japanese Imperial forces. Director Roland Emmerich brings that epic battle to the big screen, following the U.S. sailors and aviators who fought.

Motherless Brooklyn (144 mins., R) Edward Norton wrote, produced, directed, and stars in this crime drama based on Jonathan Lethem’s book of the same name. Norton plays Lionel Essrog, a 1950s private investigator with Tourette syndrome, who is on a mission to discover what happened to his mentor. Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin, and Willem Dafoe also star.

O Pain and Glory

(113 mins., R)

Deep into the layered folds of Pedro Almodóvar’s atmospheric and powerful new film, a typically stylish and slyly semiautobiographical entry in the director’s filmography, our aging director protagonist (Antonio Banderas) utters a mantra-like statement: “Cinema saved me.” In his own way, the sensual iconoclast Almodóvar has helped saved cinema. The film is a triumphant late-period, valedictory self-reflection, sometimes evocative of a quieter, gentler variation on Fellini’s artfully navelgazing cinematic tour de force. (JW)

Parasite (133 mins., R) Director Bong Joon-ho (The Host, Snowpiercer) helms this black comedy thriller about two families—one rich, one poor—whose lives become inextricably and murderously entwined.

Playing with Fire (96 mins., PG) This family-friendly film stars John Cena, Keegan-Michael Key, and Jon Leguizamo as firefighters who rescue three kids. Mayhem ensues.

Terminator: Dark Fate (128 mins., R) This is the sixth installment in the Terminator franchise, and, according to director James Cameron, a direct sequel to his 1991 Terminator 2: Judgment Day. It’s nearly 30 years later and there is a new, liquid metal Terminator (Gabriel Luna) sent from the future to kill Dani Ramos. Enter Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), and hybrid cyborg/ human Grace (Mackenzie Davis) to save her from her fate.

S

anta Barbara High will be making its 12th appearance in a CIF football final and seeking its sixth championship Saturday night. Here is the history of the Golden Tornado in title games.

1929: BIRTH OF THE TORNADO: Legendary coach Clarence Schutte

took Santa Barbara from nowhere to being recognized as a perennial prep football power throughout the region from San Diego to Santa Maria. The Dons had adopted the nickname Golden Tornado for the playoffs when they took their first shot at a CIF title in Long Beach, where Poly High stopped them, 14-6.

1935-40: THREE FOR FIVE: The Golden Tornado’s first championship came in 1935 at the Rose Bowl, where it scored a late touchdown to edge Monrovia, 14-12. Two years later, Santa Barbara began a streak of four consecutive appearances in the championship game. 1937: In the only final played at Santa Barbara’s Peabody Stadium, quarterback Frankie Albert led Glendale to a 15-14 victory. 1938: The Golden Tornado won at Covina, 13-0. 1939: Alhambra prevailed over Santa Barbara at the L.A. Coliseum, 26-18. 1940: The Tornado posted a 26-0 shutout over Whittier to win its third title at the Coliseum.

Inspirational 54, 190-pound fullback Peter Zucco was CIF Player of the Year. He later spent 2½ years at a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp and came out weighing 100 pounds.

1948-49: TWO MORE TRIES: Schutte came back from his war service and took Santa Barbara to the Coliseum for two more shots at the title. In 1948, the Tornado tied St. Anthony, 7-7. The CIF arbitrarily used total first downs as a tiebreaker; St. Anthony had a 16-12 edge and was declared champion. In 1949, Compton’s 19-13 win marked the end of an era in which the Golden Tornado played eight CIF finals against eight different teams.

1960: THE LAST BIG ONE: The Tornado, coached by Sam Cathcart,

defeated Centennial 19-6 at the Coliseum. It was the last time SBHS played for the title in the highest division of the Southern Section.

Lineman Jim Murphy was CIF Player of the Year, but the Dons had noteworthy talent at the skill positions: Quarterback Rod Dowhower set records at San Diego State and was later head coach at Stanford; scatback Johnny Gilbert was a world-class sprinter; and wide receiver Gary Hart became a state senator.

1979: SCRAMBLING RANDALL: With future all-pro quarterback Randall Cunningham making big plays, coach Mike Moropoulos’s Dons/

Golden Tornado took a record 13-game winning streak into the Coastal Division final against Long Beach Poly. The smaller SBHS line could not keep Cunningham out of the clutches of the Jackrabbits, who dominated the game at Cerritos College, 35-7.

1989: LA PLAYA FIESTA: A wild 28-27 overtime win over Canyon in the semifinals put coach Lito Garcia’s Tornado team in the Division

2 final against Pasadena Muir. An overflow crowd of 10,000 at La Playa Stadium watched them play to a 7-7 tie. Santa Barbara scored on Poncho Renteria’s 27-yard pass to Simon Banks. Bryan Stiles and Greg Araujo intercepted passes to thwart Muir in the closing minutes. There was no tiebreaker rule, and both teams were declared —John Zant cochampions.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES

CANCER

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Humans invented the plow in 4,500

(June 21-July 22): There are Americans who speak

BCE, the wheel in 4,000 BCE, and writing in 3,400 BCE. But long before that, by 6,000 BCE, they had learned how to brew beer and make psychoactive drugs from plants. Psychopharmacologist Ronald Siegel points to this evidence to support his hypothesis that the yearning to transform our normal waking consciousness is a basic drive akin to our need to eat and drink. Of course, there are many ways to accomplish this shift besides alcohol and drugs. They include dancing, singing, praying, drumming, meditating, and having sex. What are your favorite modes? According to my astrological analysis, it’ll be extra important for you to alter your habitual perceptions and thinking patterns during the coming weeks.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): What’s something you’re afraid of but pretty confident you could become unafraid of? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to dismantle or dissolve that fear. Your levels of courage will be higher than usual, and your imagination will be unusually ingenious in devising methods and actions to free you of the unnecessary burden. Step one: Formulate an image or scene that symbolizes the dread, and then visualize yourself blowing it up with a “bomb” made of a hundred roses.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The word “enantiodromia” refers

to a phenomenon that occurs when a vivid form of expression turns into its opposite, often in dramatic fashion. Yang becomes yin; resistance transforms into welcome; loss morphs into gain. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you Geminis are the sign of the zodiac that’s most likely to experience enantiodromia in the coming weeks. Will it be a good thing or a bad thing? You can have a lot of influence over how that question resolves. For best results, don’t fear or demonize contradictions and paradoxes. Love and embrace them.

WEEK OF NOV. 28

similar experience lately. If so, here’s my advice: Stop running. Sit back, relax, and allow the world to zoom by you. Yes, you might temporarily fall behind. But in the meantime, you’ll get fully recharged. No more than three weeks from now, you’ll be so energized that you’ll make up for all the lost time — and more.

only one language, English, and yet imagine they are smarter than bilingual immigrants. That fact amazes me and inspires me to advise me and all my fellow Cancerians to engage in humble reflection about how we judge our fellow humans. Now is a favorable time for us LIBRA to take inventory of any inclinations we might have to (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most sane people wish there could regard ourselves as superior to others; to question why be less animosity between groups that have different we might imagine others aren’t as worthy of love and beliefs and interests. How much respect as we are; or to be skeptical better the world would be if everyof any tendency we might have to HOMEWORK: You have the one felt a generous acceptance dismiss and devalue those who don’t power to re-genius yourself. Guidtoward those who are unlike them. act and think as we do. I’m not sayance: tinyurl.com/ReGeniusYourself But the problem goes even deeper: ing we Cancerians are more guilty Most of us are at odds with ourof these sins than everyone else; I’m selves. Here’s how author Rebecca merely letting you know that the coming weeks are our West described it: Even the different parts of the same special time to make corrections. person do not often converse among themselves, do not succeed in learning from each other. That’s the bad LEO news, Libra. The good news is that the coming weeks (July 23-Aug. 22): “Erotic love is one of the highest will be a favorable time for you to promote unity and forms of contemplation,” wrote the sensually wise poet harmony among all the various parts of yourself. I urge Kenneth Rexroth. That’s a provocative and profitable you to entice them to enter into earnest conversations inspiration for you to tap into. According to my analysis with each other! of the astrological omens, you’re in the Season of Lucky Plucky Delight, when brave love can save you from SCORPIO wrong turns and irrelevant ideas; when the grandeur (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Poet Cecilia Woloch asks, “How to of amour can be your teacher and catalyst. If you have a un-want what the body has wanted, explain how the partner with whom you can conduct these educational flesh in its wisdom was wrong?” Did the apparent error experiments, wonderful. If you don’t, be extra sweet occur because of some “some ghost in the mind?” she and intimate with yourself. adds. Was it due to “some blue chemical rushing the blood” or “some demon or god”? I’m sure that you, VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the follow-up story to Alice’s like most of us, have experienced this mystery. But the good news is that in the coming weeks, you will Adventures in Wonderland, our heroine uses a magic have the power to un-want inappropriate or unhealthy mirror as a portal into a fantastical land. There she experiences that your body has wanted. Step one: Have encounters the Red Queen, and soon the two of them a talk with yourself about why the thing your body are holding hands as they run as fast as they can. Alice has wanted isn’t in alignment with your highest good. notices that despite their great effort, they don’t seem to be moving forward. What’s happening? The Queen SAGITTARIUS clears up the mystery: In her realm, you must run as (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian composer Ludwig van hard as possible just to remain in the same spot. Sound Beethoven was inclined to get deeply absorbed in his familiar, Virgo? I’m wondering whether you’ve had a work. Even when he took time to attend to the details of

daily necessity, he allowed himself to be spontaneously responsive to compelling musical inspirations that suddenly welled up in him. On more than a few occasions, he lathered his face with the 19th-century equivalent of shaving cream, then got waylaid by a burst of brilliance and forgot to actually shave. His servants found that amusing.

I suspect that the coming weeks may be Beethoven-like for you, Sagittarius. I bet you’ll be surprised by worthy fascinations and subject to impromptu illuminations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the next 11 months, you could

initiate fundamental improvements in the way you live from day to day. It’s conceivable you’ll discover or generate innovations that permanently raise your life’s possibilities to a higher octave. At the risk of sounding grandiose, I’m tempted to predict that you’ll celebrate at least one improvement that is your personal equivalent of the invention of the wheel or the compass or the calendar.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The only thing we learn from history is that we never learn anything from history. Philosopher Georg Hegel said that. But I think you will have an excellent chance to disprove this theory in the coming months.

I suspect you will be inclined and motivated to study your own past in detail; you’ll be skilled at drawing useful lessons from it; and you will apply those lessons with wise panache as you reroute your destiny.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In his own time, poet Henry Wadsworth

Longfellow (1807–1882) was acclaimed and beloved. At the height of his fame, he earned $3,000 per poem. But modern literary critics think that most of what he created is derivative, sentimental, and unworthy of serious appreciation. In dramatic contrast is poet Emily Dickinson (1830–1886). Her writing was virtually unknown in her lifetime but is now regarded as among the best ever. In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to sort through your own past so as to determine which of your work, like Longfellow’s, should be archived as unimportant or irrelevant, and which, like Dickinson’s, deserves to be a continuing inspiration as you glide into the future.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Planning Commission December 9, 2019; 6:00 p.m.

Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Goleta Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider a resolution recommending to the City Council adoption of a new Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance (Case No: 19-144-ORD) on an urgency and non-urgency basis. The date, time, and location of the public hearing are set forth below. The agenda for the hearing will also be posted on the City website (www.cityofgoleta.org).

HEARING DATE AND TIME:

Monday, December 9, 2019, at 6:00 P.M.

PLACE:

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

PROJECT LOCATION: The amended regulations would apply citywide, including all areas of the City within the Coastal Zone.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: During the 2019 legislative session, the Governor signed into law three new bills related to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs): Assembly Bill (AB) 68, AB 881, and Senate Bill 13 (2019 ADU Laws).

The 2019 ADU Laws take effect January 1, 2020. The 2019 ADU Laws made numerous changes to existing laws regarding ADUs and Junior ADUs (JADUs). Due to the changes in state law, the City is now repealing the City’s existing ADU regulations (Ordinance No. 18-01) and replacing those regulations with a new set of ADU and JADU standards that will fully comply with the 2019 ADU Laws. Changes to the City’s ADU regulations include, but are not limited to, allowances for JADUs, allowances for ADUs in multi-unit dwellings, decreased permitting and planning review, removal of an owner-occupancy requirement, and removal of a requirement for replacement parking when a garage is converted into an ADU. The new Ordinance is proposed as an urgency and non-urgency Ordinance to ensure local regulatory authority over the limited aspects of ADU regulations still allowed at the local level. The project is exempt from the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 21080.17, which states that the CEQA does not apply to the adoption of local ordinances regulating construction of second units and by CEQA Section 15282(h) that exempts adoption of an ordinance regarding second units in single-family and multifamily residential zones. In addition to being statutorily exempt from CEQA, the proposed ordinance is also categorically exempt from CEQA under the Class 3 exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15303.

DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: The staff report may be obtained at the City of Goleta, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117 and on the City’s web site at www.cityofgoleta.org at least 72 hours ahead of the meeting.

PUBLIC COMMENT: All interested persons are encouraged to attend the public hearing and to present written and/or oral comments.

Goleta Train Depot Station Area Master Plan (SAMP)

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Goleta Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider recommending to the City Council adoption of the Goleta Train Depot Station Area Master Plan (SAMP). The date, time, and location of the public hearing are set forth below.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Goleta Train Depot Project is the development of a new multi-modal, fullservice train station at the location of the existing Amtrak platform, with the intent to increase rail ridership and reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Proposed improvements will create a new safer, more functional, and inviting rail station in Goleta. The Depot site, identified as 27 S. La Patera Lane, is adjacent to the existing Amtrak platform at the northern end of South La Patera Lane. The Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) was awarded $13 million in funding under the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP). One of the requirements of the TIRCP funding is preparation of a Station Area Master Plan.

The completed Goleta Train Depot Station Area Master Plan (SAMP) examines the existing site, surrounding area characteristics, and the existing mobility network, and includes recommendations for on-site and off-site accessibility improvements to create a successful multi-modal train depot. Subsequent phases of the Depot Project include design of facilities and infrastructure, and construction of the Depot and offsite improvements, including enhanced bicycle and pedestrian improvements along La Patera Lane (as a separate project).

The Plan is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code, §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations, §§ 15000, et seq) Statutory Exemption §15262 [Feasibility and Planning Studies] which, pursuant to §15374, requires only the filing of a Notice of Exemption.

PROJECT LOCATION: Existing Amtrak Train Station at North End of S. La Patera Lane HEARING DATE AND TIME: PLACE:
