Indy staff tried their hand at lawn bowling last Wednesday afternoon.

many of you, I had driven by the Santa Barbara Lawn Bowls Club many times, always glancing over and thinking about how I’d like to try it someday. Well, I am here to report that it’s worth stopping in. The game is very similar to bocce, but the balls, called “bowls,” are shaped differently so that when rolled, they curve, making the game a little more challenging. But by the third or fourth round, we all got the hang of it. In the scorching 90-degree heat, we learned, we sweated, and ultimately (some of us) con quered. My teammate Donny Brubaker and I (both of us new to the game) threw two perfect rounds, which, when paired with Jill Critelli’s skills, ulti mately squeaked us out a win over return lawn bowler Matt Kettmann and his team. Victory is sweet.

NeuroPathy aNd diabetes WarNiNG!

Santa Barbara, CA Diabetes along with age, smoking, exposure to chemotherapy, post surgical and motor vehicle accidents are all risk factors for peripheral neuropathy. Diabetes is the largest cohort, making up nearly 60% of all peripheral neuropathy cases. Among diabetics, up to 50% have measurable evidence of peripheral neuropathy but no symptoms. Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy is the most common long term complication of Diabetes. This can progress from sensory complications to leg/foot ulcers and ultimately gangrene and amputation. Nerve fibers affected with neuropathy include large nerve fibers which are principally associated with numbness and small nerve fibers seen with pain and burning symptoms.

The main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. There is now a facility right here in Santa Barbara that offers you new hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects. (see the special neuropathy severity consultation at the end of this article).

American landscape painter Thomas Cole was at the height of his artistic powers when he died in 1848. We will never know for certain what Cole might have done, but there are clues in the works he left behind in his studio when he died. This lecture outlines what Cole was doing artistically in his last years and the works he actually created then. It further considers what he might have accomplished had he lived to paint longer.

‘Living Experiment’ Planned for State Street

With Bright-Green Bike Lanes Gone, City ‘Exploring Other Options’ for Cyclists and Pedestrians to Coexist on Promenade

by Nick Welsh

While the green paint surgically splashed at intersections along the State Street Promenade back in March 2021 has been “marginally successful” at herding bike riders into the middle of the street, it has been an utter failure at directing pedestrians, according to City Councilmember Michael Jordan. In response, City Hall dispatched work crews last Thursday and Friday to replace any trace of the green paint with large rectangles of slurry seal, clearing the path for what Jordan describes as a giant “living experiment” on State Street to find a better way for cyclists and pedestrians to coexist on the promenade.

Given the large number of pedestrians and bicyclists now sharing the eight-block stretch of State Street’s new car-free environ ment created in response to the COVID pandemic serious safety concerns must be addressed, Jordan said. Adding urgency to this equation has been the recent surge in the popularity of electric bikes, many of which can achieve top speeds of 28 miles per hour.

“Nobody’s figured this one out,” Jordan said. “There are no obvious solutions. But it has to be done. We’re getting bombarded with complaints. Someone could get hurt.”

Beginning early in November, he said, City Hall will begin trying different approaches to solving the promenade problem in real time based on the number and proximity of parklets and pedestrians. In the meantime, he said, city police will begin enforcement to make sure cyclists don’t run red lights and stop signs with impunity and pedestrians are not in jeopardy.

To the extent reliable statistics exist about the number of accidents and collisions involving cyclists and pedestrians on the promenade, Jordan makes no pretense of knowing them. As a matter of political real

ity impressionistic and anecdotal as that may be the level of concern and outright anger directed at youthful e-bike riders has become nothing short of intense.

At a closed-door ad hoc interim commit tee meeting on Friday, Jordan said city staff revealed that during the summer, the prom enade would get 7,000 visitors a day on week days and 12,000 visitors a day on weekends. The number of bike riders tabulated in that time on weekdays was 2,000, and 2,400 on weekends. Of those bikes, 20 percent were clocked going faster than 15 mph. Two percent were clocked traveling at 20 mph or faster.

Aside from police officers not wanting to enforce in this sort of alt transit rodeo, they might also lack the legal tools. Once vehicles were banned from State Street, Jordan noted, questions surfaced as to how legally applicable the Vehicle Code was. He said that the City Attorney’s Office would be hashing that out with city police to create an enforceable tem plate of rules for the promenade’s new road.

Jordan acknowledged he’s heard many complaints that the city’s usual public process has been bypassed. He indicated that the “liv ing experiment” model proposed by Brian

Bosse, now running the downtown parking department, needed to be quick and nimble, and that the city’s traditional process was too cumbersome.

“We need staff to be proactive, imagina tive, innovative, experimental, and practical,” Jordan stated.

For much of many parts of the promenade, he said, it’s likely that there will be two bike lanes down the center of the street, one headed up the street and the other down. Pedestrians would gravitate to the side. But in other parts of State Street where there are few if any parklets there will be more focus on activat ing the dead spaces with street furniture, kids play equipment, basketball hoops, or perhaps live music. On those blocks the 700, 800, and 900 blocks the bike lanes would be set more to the side of the street with the most active retail areas. Different sorts of barricades will be tried out at different stretches of the street to force cyclists to dismount and walk from block to block.

“What we want to do,” Jordan said, “is see what stuff works. And what doesn’t.”

But bikes, he stressed, aren’t going any where. n

Jury Clears Deputies in Fatal Shooting of Cameron Ely

by Tyler Hayden

Ittook a Los Angeles jury less than a day of deliberating to find four Santa Barbara Sheriff’s deputies did not act negligently or use excessive force when they fatally shot Cameron Ely in 2019 at his family’s Hope Ranch home hours after he had stabbed his mother, Valerie, to death.

The surviving members of the Ely family Tarzan actor Ron Ely and his daughters, Kaitland and Kristen had filed a federal lawsuit against the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office last November. They alleged Cameron, who was covered in blood but unarmed dur

ing his confrontation with deputies, did not pose an imminent threat when he was shot 22 times at close range. Pointing to audio recordings of the incident, the family also disputed the deputies’ accounts that Cameron announced he had a gun and lunged at them before they opened fire.

“I am pleased that the jury unanimously found in favor of the deputies and the Sher iff’s Office, and that they awarded no dam ages whatsoever in this case,” said Sheriff Bill Brown. “We respect the jury’s decision, which was the proper one. Although we recognize that this was a tragic situation, and have great

sympathy for the Ely family, the use of deadly force against Cameron Ely was justified and lawful under the circumstances.”

District Attorney Joyce Dudley had previ ously determined the shooting was a justifi able homicide. “When Ely disobeyed verbal commands by deputies, sprang to his feet, and moved his hands to his waistband as if grab bing a weapon while saying, ‘I have a gun!’ shortly after killing his mother, his actions created a reasonable fear of death or great bodily injury in the minds of [the deputies],” she stated in her report.

Dudley’s report also noted that 30-year-old

TRANSPORTATION

Loma Alta Drive will be closed to through traffic until at least May 2023 while street and infrastructure management crews prepare the hillside road for “potential storm impacts.” The winding road connecting the lower Westside to Cliff Drive on the Mesa and about 10 acres on the face of the hill itself suffered damage from an arson fire on 5/20/21. The street will be closed from West Canon Perdido Street on the lower side to Coronel Street at the top. The closure is expected to affect traffic between the lower Westside and the Mesa, including those driving to SBCC and McKinley School.

BUSINESS

Santa Barbara’s daily newspaper dropped a notice along with the Thursday-morning paper informing subscribers that the News-Press carrier would stop making deliveries as of 10/24. First reported by KEYT, the notice stated the change was due to “labor shortages, higher gas prices, and other current economic challenges.” Currently, the paper is down to a single sheet, folded into four pages. Instead of the traditional carrier, the paper will arrive via same-day delivery by the U.S. mail, said Managing Editor Dave Mason.

EDUCATION

Santa Barbara City College unveiled its new Dream Center, celebrating Undocumented Student Week of Action with a grand opening on 10/19 in the Campus Center. The Dream Center will provide a space for undocumented students to receive legal, academic, and financial assistance along with access to other resources and is part of SBCC’s Office of Equity, Diversity, and Cultural Competency. The Dream Center will be open Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and is located within the Center for Equity and Social Justice on SBCC’s main campus. For more information, visit the Dream Center page at sbcc.edu.

The Santa Barbara Unified school board unanimously approved Narcan in district schools 10/25, allowing the district to keep the life-saving opioid antagonist on hand and train its employees how to administer the drug in the event of an emergency overdose. District high schools will have two doses at each campus, while schools with fewer than 500 students will have one dose. It will cost the district about $70 per dose for a total of $382. Administering Narcan is a simple process, and the district has already begun training staff on how to use the drug. Full story at independent.com/narcan

Lompoc Prison Sued over COVID Death

The estate of Mohamed Yusuf, a convicted terrorist who was serving an 11-year sentence at the Lompoc Federal Correctional Complex when he died of COVID-19, is pursuing a lawsuit against the prison, its warden, and its staff for allegedly allowing him to suffer and succumb to the disease without providing proper medical care.

Yusuf was 37 years old, married with three children, and in “sturdy health” when he tested positive for the coronavirus on May 7, 2020, the lawsuit states. At the time, in the early days of the pandemic, the prison complex was experiencing a massive out break that ultimately killed five inmates and sickened more than 1,200, more than any other correctional setting in the country.

Yusuf’s condition quickly deteriorated to the point he was “visibly weakened and chronically and desperately short of breath,” the complaint reads. For two weeks before his death, he was too ill to retrieve his own meals, so other inmates would bring him food in his bunk. “While correctional staff knew of the Decedent’s dire need for help,” the lawsuit states, “they did not provide prompt and appropriate care and assistance, and some joked about the matter, going so far as to call the Decedent a ‘faker’ and a ‘wimp.’”

On May 25, the day he died, fellow inmates reported Yusuf gasping for air and praying. Eventually, he lost consciousness, and they yelled for help. No emergency medical aid was provided by prison staff, however, including oxygen administration,

The country’s first lease sale for commercial-scale floating wind energy will start taking bids this 12/6, the Interior Department announced last week. Three of the five lease areas are off Cambria and Morro Bay in San Luis Obispo County, with the remaining two off Eureka in Humboldt County. Together they represent 373,268 acres intended to create more than 4.5 gigawatts of electricity, which can power more than 1.5 million homes and support thousands of new jobs. The wind energy deals are the product of the Offshore Wind Working Group convened by congressmembers Salud Carbajal and Jimmy Panetta. Full story at independent .com/offshore-wind-lease.

COURTS & CRIME

The criminal charge of misconduct or neglect by a ship’s officer against Jerry Boylan has been reinstated in the deaths of 33 passengers and a crew member aboard the Conception dive boat, which caught fire while anchored off Santa Cruz Island on 9/2/19. The charge of seaman’s manslaughter had been dismissed by a federal court last month for a lack of inclusion of gross negligence. Boylan will appear on an arraignment regarding the new charge in the coming weeks. Should he be found

This summer, the American Civil Lib erties Union (ACLU) settled a class-action lawsuit filed by a group of inmates against the Bureau of Prisons that claimed the federal agency failed on multiple fronts to respond to the outbreak. One of those inmates, Yonnedil Torres, was also denied timely medical aid after contracting a severe case of COVID-19. He collapsed in his cell with acute respiratory shock and suffered permanent lung damage.

Yusuf’s case is now winding its way through court with another hearing sched uled next month. At the time of his death, he had about a year left on his sentence. A naturalized Swedish citizen, Yusuf had traveled to Somalia in 2008 intending to wage violent jihad on U.N.-sanctioned and Somali forces that were attempting to bring stability to the war-torn country, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Once in Somalia, Yusuf participated in numerous attacks on government forces as a member of al-Shabaab, a group designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization, and he appeared in a recruiting video aimed at inducing young Muslim men in Western countries to leave their homes and join alShabaab. He also reportedly threatened a cartoonist who had depicted the prophet Muhammad. Yusuf and two other defen dants were apprehended in East Africa in 2012 by local authorities while on their way to Yemen and extradited to the United States.

Early Tuesday morning, Santa Barbara Police responded to a burglar alarm at the State Street CVS location downtown to find the front glass door broken and suspect gone. The call came in around 6 a.m., and officers on the scene were able to identify and locate the suspect in question, who was arrested a few hours later less than a mile away. The 32-year-old suspect was booked into Santa Barbara County Jail for commercial burglary and vandalism. The suspected burglar is currently being held on $20,000 bail.

Comedian Andy Dick was arrested on 10/13 and booked into Santa Barbara County Jail on a charge of felony residential burglary after allegedly burglarizing an empty home in the Riviera hills of Santa Barbara. Dick is being represented by public defender Brian Mathis and has pleaded not guilty to the charge of first-degree burglary. In a statement, Mathis said they “are confident additional facts will come to light supporting Mr. Dick as this case moves forward.” Full story at independent.com/ andy-dick-arrested.

His sentencing is set for 11/16, and he now faces 21 years to life in prison. Full story at independent.com/cortes.

The Sheriff’s Office announced that an inmate in the Northern Branch Jail died of an apparent overdose on 10/20. Edgar Mescua Estrada, 37, from Santa Maria, was arrested on 5/5 by the Sheriff’s Office for obstructing a peace officer, violation of a domestic violence restraining order, and possession of a controlled substance, with a felony violation of probation hold for a previous conviction of child cruelty. He was being held in jail without bail when he was found unconscious in his cell. Lifesaving measures were attempted but proved unsuccessful. The cause and manner of his death are under investigation. Two other inmates at the jail who overdosed within the same 24-hour period as Estrada were successfully resuscitated.

Congressmember Salud Carbajal reportedly reached out directly to leading members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus to express his disagreement with the letter they submitted Monday to President Joe Biden, urging him to initiate direct negotiations with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in hopes of negotiating a settlement to the war in Ukraine. Since the letter went out, members of the Caucus withdrew that letter, explaining it had been a clerical mistake and sent without knowledge of caucus members. Carbajal is not a member of that caucus, but said it was the right call to retract the letter.

Ely, who was 6'5", weighed 236 pounds, and played football for San Marcos High School and later Harvard University, was suffering from the early stages of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) at the time of his death. His sisters told detectives his behavior had become increasingly “erratic” and “unsta ble” in the days leading up to their mother’s murder, but no clear motive for the killing was provided. Valerie was stabbed seven times in the chest, back, and right forearm, an autopsy found. Ron, 81, was home at the time and con fined to a wheelchair after a recent stroke. The verdict saved Santa Barbara County and its Sheriff’s department from what could have amounted to a multimillion-dollar pay out to the Elys. “We in the Sheriff’s Office commend the superb work of the assigned

After two years of construction, the county has officially opened the Randall Road Debris Basin in Montecito, the first one built here since 1971. The big dig is located across eight acres that once held seven homes, which were destroyed by 2018’s deadly 1/9 Debris Flow. At a ribboncutting on 10/24, head of County Flood Control Walter Rubalcava said, “After the next flood event or wildfire that occurs, the hope is that when the debris comes down that mountain, more of that debris will be captured here, helping to protect the community, the neighborhoods, and the network of roadways down below.” Full story at independent.com/debris-basin-opens.

The perpetually left-footed dance between Sheriff Bill Brown and the county Board of Supervisors proceeded apace 10/18 over runaway overtime costs, an epidemic of departmental burnout, and ongoing recruiting shortfalls. In the end, the supervisors agreed to budget six new Sheriff’s Service Technician positions which are considerably cheaper because they are not sworn positions to do work now done by sworn officers. In addition, the supervisors agreed to budget up to $2 million a year from a specific account to defray the expected but unpredictable overtime costs accrued to Brown’s department.

Advocates Push for End of ICE Pickups at Jail

by Ryan P. Cruz

During the latest TRUTH Act forum at the County Board of Supervisors last week, Sheriff Bill Brown reported that the number of undocumented individuals released from Santa Barbara County Jail and picked up by ICE for deportation dropped from 12 in 2020 to six last year. But while the number continues to drop, community advocates raise the debate over whether the collaboration between the two agencies should continue at all.

Sheriff Brown called the issue “fraught with political agenda and emotion on both sides,” but maintained that the few individu als whose release dates are reported to ICE were “career criminals” and “repeat offend ers” with lengthy criminal histories, and that the county has to achieve a balance between protecting the rights of individuals and pro tecting the community as a whole.

“We are keenly aware that a vast majority of undocumented people in our county are hardworking community members,” Brown said. “We’re not interested in seeing field workers, service workers, and others who may be undocumented and have no serious criminal history facing deportation.”

The annual report came out of the TRUTH (Transparent Review of Unjust Transfers and Holds) and Values Acts of 2017-2018, and in the years since the Sher iff’s Office has reported the number of inmates released and picked up or directly transferred to ICE in Santa Barbara County.

and attorneys from local immigrants’ rights groups pushed for an end of the ICE pick ups altogether.

There was also confusion over what dif ferentiates an ICE “pickup” or “transfer.” While the county reported zero “trans fers,” several of the supervisors and county residents questioned the pickup process. According to Sheriff Brown, the jail previ ously released inmates into the main lobby and ICE agents would be waiting outside in the public parking lot.

Now, due to “altercations, confrontations, and foot pursuits,” ICE agents are notified of the exact date and time of the release and are allowed in the facility’s backdoor; the undocumented individual is then let out through a back door exit, “and ICE is wait ing there,” Brown said.

members of the Santa Barbara County Coun sel’s Office, and appreciate the service of the judge and jury members who were assigned to this trial,” said Brown.

It is not known if the Ely family plans to appeal the verdict. Their attorney, DeWitt Lacy, did not provide a statement by press time. Lacy had also argued in the lawsuit that the deputies failed to render timely medical aid to Valerie when they first responded to the scene and to Cameron after he was shot. The jury disagreed on that point, as well.

Three of the four involved deputies remain employed by the Sheriff’s Office. The fourth, Jeremy Rogers, who participated in two pre vious fatal shootings, left the department in 2021 and now lives and works as a real estate agent in north Texas.  n

Whenever someone is booked into Santa Barbara County Jail, their fingerprints are sent to a U.S. Department of Justice data base. Then, ICE can request information or notifications from the Sheriff’s Office. The county then decides whether the individual meets the criteria for their release date to be shared with ICE, who then arranges agents for a pickup.

In 2017, the county received 526 requests and ICE conducted pickups of 351 inmates. Since then the number has dropped steadily to 98 pickups in 2018, 38 pickups in 2019, then a dozen in 2020. In those years, espe cially during the two years of the pandemic, the number of inmates processed for release also dropped dramatically, from more than 15,000 in 2017 to 6,479 last year.

Those who want the collaboration to continue say that the low number of pick ups and the fact that many of the inmates reported are violent offenders are proof that the TRUTH Act is forcing account ability in the process. But during a lengthy public comment, more than 20 members of the community including advocates

Frank Rodriguez, a community advo cate with CAUSE and 805 Immigrant, said that the TRUTH and Values Acts were steps toward the state stopping “the violence of separating families via deportation through ICE.”

Rodriguez said his own family knows that pain well, and his uncle was among those recently deported through Santa Bar bara County Jail. He likened being picked up by ICE agents from the backdoor exit of the jail to “double jeopardy,” since those released from county jail have already served their prescribed sentence.

“The same way as any other individual who leaves our county jail and paid their time, “ he said, “we should be building towards them being part of our community again.”

He urged the local agencies to follow other California counties, like Los Angeles County, in ending the “voluntary collabo ration with ICE.” Until then, he is pushing for more transparency in the process. Cur rently, community organizations are only informed when there is an annual forum, he said, and even in those cases, the public outreach is minimal.

While there was no action to be taken at the meeting, Sheriff Brown said this was likely not the end of the talks on the issue. n

go with the state stats, we’ve lost only eight years’ worth of educa tional gains.

Now, I would caution, is hardly the time to start freaking out.

It’s already way too late for that.

In school board meetings to come, we will be shouting at each other over what these numbers mean and what should be done.

For the moment, the bad news is sufficiently nuanced that it could almost be confused with “hunky dory.” Yes, in the last two years, our literacy proficiency test scores dropped six percentage points, and our math scores dropped nine percentage points district-wide.

Not good, right? Compared to the state, we can credibly con ourselves into thinking we survived the two years of forced isolation sort of okay. Our math and reading scores bot

By contrast, Black students started at 51 and tumbled to 27 percent; typically, when you fall that hard, someone calls an ambulance. Hispanic students went from 40 to 34 And English language learners who went from 10 to 9 percent were already so far off the chart, they had no place to fall. Only the Asian student cohort experienced actual gains, inching up from 74 percent to 77.

The “good” news here is that maybe we needed this really “bad” news to awaken us to an underlying reality. But what are we going to do about it other than point fingers and chase more teachers out of the profession?

Somewhere in the deepest recesses of our brains, we actually know what works. Way back when La Cumbre Junior High School was such a basket case that district officials were giving serious thought to pulling its plug, La Cumbre students were quietly out performing their peers in other junior high schools in algebra. Making this happen was La Cumbre algebra teacher Jerry Chiu, an inspired and outspoken badass with a chip on his shoulder who taught other algebra

A couple of school administrators ago, a group of retired White executives got together to launch a program designed to equip pre schoolers low-income and Spanishspeaking with the skills needed to learn English once they got in the classroom. To this end, they talked a couple of local phi lanthropies into covering the considerable cost of hiring staff and buying a mobile van equipped with computers that allowed the young children to connect with something called the Waterford Method

That mobile van hit the streets in targeted neighborhoods like the Good Humor ice cream truck, and the computer games the targeted kids played were fun and dramati cally accelerated their ability to learn to read. Graduation ceremonies were held in parks with parents and kids all dressed up for the occasions.

But no good deed goes unpunished. When it came time for the district to assume the costs which admittedly had grown the administrators declined. What seemed a stellar program was allowed to die an igno miniously stupid death.

What’s even more damning is that the method deployed by Santa Barbara Unified to teach reading is based on wishful thinking, good intentions, and a whole lot of shuck

Santa Barbara, it turns out, is just one of thousands of districts who drank an over dose of Lucy Calkins’s Kool-Aid, an instruc tional approach that sounds great on paper but flamboyantly fails to deliver results. The Calkins method is under attack as a sham and a fraud by reporters with the New York Times, the NewYorker, and National Public Radio, among others.

What appears to actually work is an approach that teaches young kids how to decode what might appear as random squig gles and translate those visual cues into sounds they understand. This is known as “phonemic awareness,” a pedagogical kiss ing cousin to the “phonics”-based approach derided as “drill-and-kill” by education gurus who successfully ran it out of town. In part by embracing a more phonics-based approach, the State of Mississippi went from being ranked 49th in literacy skills to 29th over a six-year period.

The good news is that there’s a small cadre of stubbornly determined literacy activists who will not be pigeonholed into any of the ideological warfare camps. Some try to be pleasant; some do not. They are in it for the long haul, and if you work for the district, you don’t want them in your rearview mir rors. So far, district executives are showing signs of openness. We’ll see what they actu ally do. The point is there’s hope.

It’s way too late for freaking out. But there’s still time to change

Other Voter Picks

evidence is indisputable: Excessive COVID school closures, mandates, and protocols caused significant harm and learning loss on Santa Barbara’s youth. Now more than ever, it is imperative that we elect school board trustee members who understand that educating our children is Job Number 1. We need trustees who will represent parents and students and who will lead without loyalties to established political parties. It is time to focus on educational outcomes and give our youth the opportunities they deserve for the future. Please vote for the following candidates:

• Santa Barbara Unified School District, Area 1: Dan La Berge or Efigenia Banales

• SBUSD, Area 4: Phebe Mansur

• S.B. County Board of Education Area 1: Rosanne Crawford

• S.B. City College Area 1: Debi Stoker

S.B. City College Area 5: Sharon Salvador-Jegottka

Montecito

The buck stops with the board. The incumbents at SBUSD must be held accountable for their voting record.

Vote for Phebe Mansur, a proven and respected public servant from Goleta for SBUSD District 4, and Efi Banales, a retired veteran educator, for SBUSD District 1. One reason to vote for Phebe and Efi is that they both support the “Heart” sex ed curriculum, in contrast to all of their opponents. The “Heart” cur riculum starts out with a “parent interview” by the student about the parents’ values and is very sensi tive and age-appropriate. As opposed to the highly graphic and controversial “Teen Talk.”

A weak “rubber stamp” board has created a crisis of mental health, erosion of classroom discipline, exponential rise in reported “thoughts of suicide,” the controversial and dangerous firing of the Safety Resource Officer at San Marcos High School, and a dramatic rise in race-related student incidents. Per haps most of all, the misguided “leveling up,” which eviscerates the honors and GATE programs, the pride of our district and built up over decades. This was the last straw for teacher morale and for many par ents, who have pulled their children out of the public schools in increasing numbers.

If you think improvement must be made in school safety, literacy, vocational educational opportunities, and teacher and administrative morale, and you want to see age-appropriate sex ed and dedicated honors

classes in our secondary schools, vote for the two candidates who have your values and the steel char acter to hold the current superintendent accountable.

A Yes for Measure T

W ith each election, we see high-gloss flyers in the mail supporting one or another candidate or measure. This year we see misrepresentation by the No on Measure T group. Almost every statement they make contradicts the city’s 9212 report on the impacts of the measure, a report presented before the Carpinteria City Council, as allowed by state law.

Legal language is confusing, and I am placing lan guage from the document in “people speak.”

For example, “City staff interprets that the addition of ‘existing parking’ to the [Open Space Recreation] Land Use category definition does not by itself pre clude ‘new parking’ on OSR designated parcels within the City.” In other words, parking is allowed.

The No campaign states Measure T will lead to “High-density multi-family residential development of Parking Lot 3.” The city wrote, “While Measure T2022 would continue that residential overlay, per state law, the density allowable follows the underly ing density and the only housing allowed on [Rec reational] zone is a caretaker’s dwelling on Parking Lot #3.” So, there will be no high-density residential development there.

The city attorney stated that “no other OSR parcels in the City have this [residential] overlay.” So why are there so many misrepresentations or false state ments made by the No folks? They seem to be using scare tactics.

Vote Yes on Measure T. It stops commercial devel opment of public land, i.e., the hotel, on Parking Lot 3. Public land owned by Carpinterians will be safe from private developers. It maintains the Carpinteria we all love — the last small-beach town in Southern California. —Amrita M. Salm, Carpinteria

PROP. 1

A constitutional amendment put on the ballot by the Legislature. It expressly protects reproductive freedom, consistent with existing California laws and with rights in the state Constitution.

PROP. 31

In 2020, California passed a law banning the sale of flavored tobacco products, e-cigarettes and menthol cigarettes, at stores and vending machines. A YES is a vote to keep the ban in place. A NO vote would repeal the ban. Prop 31 is an important step to protect the health and safety of Californians.

GOLETA MEASURE B

Would raise the sales tax rate by 1%, or 1 cent per dollar spent. Beginning in 2024, providing approximately $10,600,000 annually until ended by voters. Currently Goleta receives less than a tenth of its 7.75% sales tax, but the increase would all go to the city for much needed services.

Thomas McClure DeVore

3/11/1938 - 10/6/2022

Tom retired at 55 but contin ued to do consulting work and helped to start up a technology company, Far West Technologies, in Goleta.

Tom moved away from Santa Barbara to enjoy life with Lyn on his ranch in Atascadero and then eventually to the house on the lake in Atascadero that he and Lyn built together. He walked Molly the little white poodle around the lake every day, wear ing his bucket hat, cleaning up trash to do his part to keep the lake beautiful. Tom developed close friendships with his neigh bors on the lake and shared good times with them, trading help with projects and volunteer ing for the Atascadero Police Department.

He was preceded in death by his first wife Lorena Terres, brother Diego “Jim” Terres, Jr., and nephew Diego Terres III.

A Celebration of Life for Al will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 13, at the McDermottCrockett Mortuary chapel located at 2020 Chapala St. in Santa Barbara. Afterwards, all are welcome to board the Condor Express from 3:30 to 5:30p.m. to scatter his ashes at sea and attend a brief reception. The Condor Express is docked at the Santa Barbara Landing (301 W. Cabrillo Blvd.) at the end of the Main Harbor Parking Lot.

Phyllis was born in Bedford, Indiana on October 22, 1925 to Howard and Mary Hoover. After frequent moves due to her father’s work in the limestone quarries, her family settled in Spencer, a small county seat.

There Phyllis met and had her very first date with “the boy next door” John Barrowcliff. While John was in the service in WW2, she attended Indiana University, joining Phi Mu and graduating with a degree in Physical Educa tion and a teaching credential. She and John married in 1947 and Phyllis taught school in Indianapolis while John attended Butler University.

John’s business career would eventually take them to cities in Ohio, Missouri, California and Utah, but in the 50’s and 60’s they raised their family in Santa Monica. Phyllis was the mom everyone wished they could have. Although she didn’t know how to cook when she got married, but she became a great cook. She had been raised with a lot of criticism but she gave encouragement and praise. While working as a junior high substitute teacher (she was a favorite), she was also help ing at church and with the PTA, Girls Scouts, and Little League. TV shows like “Father Knows Best” were thought to be unre alistic, but for our family, they seemed just like home.

Phyllis and John were active

Phyllis enjoyed life in Santa Barbara and her friends in Chap ter QA of P.E.O. and First Pres byterian Church. She welcomed family and friends to their home and enjoyed traveling, including cruises, roadtrips, and flights to see family in Indiana, Arkansas and even Prague. Just this July, she and Ellen flew to Indiana to visit her brother and family!

Phyllis’s faith, family and friends were always important to her. She put others first. She was a wonderful hostess. She loved the autumn leaves in the Mid west (fall colors were her favor ites). She loved celebrating all the holidays, especially Christmas, and had a beautiful collection of Nativities. She started wonderful family traditions of an annual Christmas letter and of all the family and guests having a part in reading the Christmas Story and singing carols together on Christmas Eve.

Phyllis’s heart was always to serve others as her faith guided her life. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother (GiGi). Her home was always a safe place with Love being the key ingredi ent. Everyone was welcome. Love is her legacy to her family and it is priceless.

Phyllis is survived by her brother John Hoover and wife Louise of Indianapolis, daughter Ellen Duke of Santa Barbara, son Brent Barrowcliff and wife Debbie of Siloam Springs AR, grandchildren Brent Duke (Lau rie), Brandon Duke (Monika), Lynn Wiseley (Brett), Beth Teel (Brandon) and Mark Barrowcliff (Shannon), and great-grandchil

In his early years, Tom’s fam ily lived in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and Illinois. After graduating from high school in Illinois, he moved with his family to Santa Barbara, where he attended Santa Barbara City College. Tom’s career began at EG&G in Goleta, working his way up to Senior Scientist. Dur ing his career with EG&G he traveled throughout the United States, including the Nevada test site known as Area 51. He spent 6 weeks in Enewetak, Marshall Islands, coordinating with the Army to clean up nuclear waste following US nuclear bomb tests.

Tom lived with Alzheimer’s for the past 12 years. On August 20, 2020, he suffered a stroke and could no longer live at the home in Atascadero. He moved back to Santa Barbara to live with his daughter Karen and her family until the end, when he passed at home peacefully with both of his daughters and family by his side.

He will be missed and remem bered by his family and many friends as a character in his own right . He could be stubborn, a rascal, and sometimes he would march to the beat of his own drum, but he was generous and kind. He had a great laugh that was contagious and he had an impish smile that brought a smile to everyone around him.

Not even cancer could stop Dave from barbequing and fun draising for the community. Both he and Sharon upon their cancer diagnosis would become active participants and organizers of the Santa Barbara Relay for Life, and the Santa Barbara American Cancer Society where he received honors.

was born on April 23, 1947, at St Francis Hospital in Santa Barbara, sharing his namesake with the hospital. He died on October 5, 2022, in Portland, Oregon, where he made his home the past 15 years. Frank grew up in Santa Barbara, attending local schools and graduating from Santa Bar bara High School in 1965. Fol lowing high school, he served as a medic with the 25th Infantry Division in Vietnam.

After being honorably dis charged from the Army in 1970, he attended California State Uni versity, Long Beach and gradu ated with a degree in Business Administration.

He moved to Oregon in 2007 and worked at Cascade Microtech as a software developer until 2021 when he retired.

When Frank was a child, he and his brothers had to attend Japanese school on Saturdays. However, more often than not, he was found at the market across the street playing hooky rather than at school learning Japanese. Later on in life, his boss offered him an opportunity to work in Japan, so he began a crash course learning Japanese using Rosetta Stone. His attempt at this was described as an “epic fail.”

Activities he enjoyed were surfing at Rincon, kayaking, hik ing, camping and golf. He also had a little daredevil streak in him, evidenced by his exploits in motorcycle hill climbing, which is essentially a drag race up the face of a steep hill trying to be the first to reach the summit. More often than not, you would see him and his bike tumbling down the hill. You could say his success at this sport was less than “over the top.”

He also enjoyed traveling and was actually at the airport get ting ready to board a flight to Bangkok when he unexpectedly suffered a major cardiac event. He never regained consciousness and passed 4 days later with his wife and daughter by his side.

He is survived by his wife Su,

“Dave” settled his family into his longtime residence off Walnut Lane in the Goleta Valley, where he would call home for over 50 years with his wife Sharon. They would both watch, as Dave’s career and family would grow. It wasn’t long before settling into their San Fernando Dr. neighbor hood, that the newlywed couple would welcome daughters Cheri, Catherine, Charlene, and then their son David.

Ten years later after his retire ment Dave would lose the love of his life, Sharon, to her battle with cancer.

The longest-lived male Dorsey decedent, David, or “Dave” was born to Thomas and Marjorie Dorsey. The second son of a traditional Irish Catholic family, young Dave was sent to the mon astery to continue the customs and support of the Church. David was the brother to seven sisters, Phyllis, Mary Ann, Carol, Theresa, Claudia, Patsy, Marjorie, and two brothers, Thomas, and Louis.

Upon graduating St. Anthony’s Seminary, Dave started the sum mer working at the local Regal Gas Station. During that time, a young Santa Barbara High School graduate, Sharon Liddell, would go out of her way and make sure to always get her gas at only that station, as she put it “for the hot attendant.”

After finding the love of his life, Dave did not go on to the priesthood. He and Sharon mar ried after a short courtship on November 5, 1960, at the Santa Barbara Mission. A rainy day only proved to shower their growing relationship, which after fifty years would prove the test of time.

Upon starting his family and on recommendation from his father-in-law, Sheriff’s Sergeant Charles Liddell, Dave joined the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office and the start of a lifetime

“David Senior” took an active role in family summer vacations to June Lake, or as Santa, handing out presents at Christmas time to family and friends; the latter of which would become a tradition for “Grandpa Dave” and “Great Grandpa Dave,” as Dave and Sharon would end up having nine grandchildren, Cherise (Lauren), Travis, Ryan, Megan (Nicholas), Austin (Rebecca), Clint, Garrett, Chad, and Hannah, and six great grandchildren, Brayden, Shad don, Lyla, Grayson, Emersyn, and Oliver.

Whether it was with his kids in 4-H or Cub Scouts, or coaching his grandkids, Dave could often be found helping in the com munity, and most often behind a grill. Dave contributed many hours over two generations at the Goleta Valley South Little League Fields, coaching, maintaining fields, and fundraising, as well as serving as President of the organization. Dave was a crucial member of the team to fundraise, build, and utilize the Ben “Page” Youth Center.

Never far from a field Dave spent many days cooking for the San Marcos and Dos Pueblos Athletic Programs, barbequing with his buddies, “Red” and Pete Vanetti.  Together they served up many Tri-Tip Dinners to the Var sity Football, Baseball, Basketball, Water Polo, and Softball teams.

Dave spent his later summer’s barbequing for the Goleta Valley Girls Softball Association, where he was also a contributing mem ber to the creation and funding of

Dave would find love and com panionship again, one that would last for the rest of his years with his wife Marion Murray. They wed on a sunny day at the Santa Barbara Courthouse, surrounded by both their families and friends, celebrating with a reception at the former Four Seasons Bilt more Hotel. Dave and Marion would spend the next chapter of their lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, living life to its fullest, and traveling the world together and with family. Dave enjoyed spending many Friday mornings in Myrtle Beach hang ing with his buddies during their weekly “gentleman’s breakfast.”

Dave and Marion both enjoyed a neighborhood filled with great friends, hosting lots of parties, and entertaining visiting family. They would eventually move to a new home in Anthem, Arizona to be closer to family.

Dave leaves behind his wife Marion, and his four kids, Cheri (Troy) Davis, Catherine Dorsey, Charlene Dorsey, and David Dorsey; his stepchildren, Barbara (David), Mary (Chris), Melissa (Andrew) and Michael; his nine grandchildren, six step grandchil dren, and six great grandchildren.

Born in Ventura, California on February 10, 1991, David was the only child of Rachelle and John Ingram. He grew up with his fam ily in Santa Barbara and enjoyed a happy childhood and loved to read books, play sports and play video games. He had fun “shooting hoops” at home and as a basketball team player at the YMCA, the Page Youth Center, and at UCSB sum mer basketball camp. David was a huge Dodger and Charger fan and enjoyed attending their games in LA with friends.

David had a special way with all animals, including the four ram bunctious Irish Setters his family had at their home over the years. Hawaii was a special vacation spot for David and his family. He loved to fish and spend time snorkel ing and swimming with his dad in Maui. Close to home, Goleta Beach was his favorite fishing spot and many an evening was spent on the pier fishing there with his close friends and even with mom on occasion.

David attended Foothill Elementary School, La Colina Junior High School, San Marcos High School and Santa Barbara City College. He was employed as a personal banker at various banks in the Santa Barbara and Goleta area and developed a good rapport with customers and colleagues alike. He was a quick study of the different bank operating systems and took pleasure showing new hires the procedures necessary for their success. David obtained his Notary Public license as an addi tional proficiency he could add to his banking employment skills. David also was employed for ten years by the Santa Barbara City Parking Division.

David is survived by his par ents, and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.

A celebration of David’s life will be scheduled at Goleta Beach. Donations may be made to Sanc tuary Centers of Santa Barbara, 1136 De La Vina St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101, or to the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission, 535 E. Yanonali St., Santa Barbara, CA 93103.

Gregory Scott Starr 10/8/1961 - 10/9/2022

John was born in Brawley, CA to John Valentine Stahl, Sr., and Maydelle (Phillips) Stahl, the first of two sons. The family moved all around the western states, but eventually settled in Lompoc, CA.  He and his younger brother, Charles, both graduated from Lompoc High. John loved the area’s natural beauty and the free-spirited, progressive minded people of Santa Barbara County. He spent most of his decades liv ing in Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez Valley.

John had a long career, in both the government and private sector. He worked for fifteen years for several Santa Barbara County Supervisors- Jim Slater, Bill Wallace, and Dianne Owens. He was a key player in getting both the Santa Barbara to UCSB bike route and the Goleta Val ley Community Center built. He then used his knowledge of land use permitting processes and California law in the private sec tor as a consultant. He worked on a couple different oil pipelining projects in the 90’s, before finally pursuing his passion in renewable energy.  He started investigating the Lompoc area for wind power potential in 2000. Twenty-two years later, largely due to his dogged persistence, his legacy project the 98-Megawatt Strauss Wind Energy farm is set to be operational next year. He was still pursuing some solar projects in Oregon when he passed away.

A celebration of life will be held at Kaena Wine in Solvang on Sunday, November 20th. Friends and colleagues are welcome to attend, for details and RSVPplease contact Sarah Stahl at jvs tahlceleb22@gmail.com.

Celebrating the Life of Greg ory Scott Starr

Scott is survived by his mother, Daryl Starr, sisters Nancy Starr and Suzanne Starr, and nephews Tyler Domingue and Kyle Domingue, God-son Cody Sangas and beloved dog Chicklet. Scott was preceded in death by his father Wilbur “Skip” Starr.

Scott loved photography, surfing, skateboarding, frisbee, snowboarding, his beach home, researching the history of all he loved, and weaving stories of it all. He was a respected film historian and archivist of surf/ skate/frisbee/snowboarding sports and cultures, but above all that, he was an extraordinary person who always made others feel at ease. His family and many friends meant the world to him. Most important was his faith in Jesus.

A celebration of his life and paddle out will be held on Friday, October 21 at a local beach.

John met and married his first wife, Janette Carr in Santa Barbara. He graduated from Uni versity of Hawaii in 1966 with a degree in Political Science. They welcomed their only child, Sarah, in 1970. He took great pride in his role of Papa Bear for his entire life. In Sarah’s younger years, the family spent a lot of happy times van camping in California and Oregon, visiting friends and fam ily, swimming, beach combing, listening to music, fishing, read ing, and playing with their dogs and cats.

During the 1980’s, John and his second wife, Lorraine LaF argue, and his stepson John Paul LaFargue moved a historic Solvang house and a florist shop to Ballard- where they restored and remodeled them both. The whole family spent countless hours fund-raising and entertain ing for multiple local political campaigns.

In the late 90’s, he met and married his third and beloved wife, Shelley (Rymer) Stahl.  They had sixteen happy and busy years together in Solvang and Arroyo Grande. They remodeled several homes and gardens, pampered their dogs and cats, traveled, and finally semi-retired. Shelley died far too young, in 2016, and John was never quite his whole self again after her loss. He moved to Bend, Oregon to be close to his daughter and relish in his role of Grandpa Bear to his only grand son, Ian Valentine.  He enjoyed the Oregon life, drank good wine, barbequed tasty salmon, adven tured on several fishing trips, rambled down quite a few dirt roads scheming on projects, and

Paddling

To SurviveTo SurviveTo Survive

By Rolf Geyling

How I Emerged from a Shark Attack and Personal Loss in One Piece

you ever seen any sharks?”

I’ve only lied a few times. I can usually deflect the question or give a truthfully vague response, but sometimes only a and spare the asker an

answer that’s probably more than they bargained for.

It’s a reasonable question, as I’m known as the guy who steps on his paddleboard and disappears out into the Pacific most mornings. My story may not be the well-kept secret I which has allowed

think it is, but enough time has passed sequence

me to sort through all that life threw at me in a confounding that I’m going public: I was attacked by a shark. Not an accidental bump or nudge, but a direct strike with

open jaws, froth, and fury.

Before getting to that, I need to share why I’m hooked on the ocean. It started more than 10 years ago as I was search ing for something to help fend off the “dad bod’’ that was taking hold as I moved through my forties. Having recently moved to Santa Barbara, I figured I should take advantage of the ocean and bought a big, clunky stand-up paddleboard on Craigslist. As humbling as my first outings were, I stuck with it and over time developed a full-blown obsession: paddling every morning, daydreaming about the next outing, building racks in my garage to accommodate the growing flotilla of water toys, only to eventually build more in the yard.

While logging 1,000 miles a year got me into better shape than I ever imagined, what happened for me mentally and spiritually out on the ocean became even more essential. Shortly after my wife, Trish, and I arrived with our three kids in 2007, we were surprised to discover a fourth child was on the way. An even bigger surprise was learning that little Rudy would be born with hypoplastic left heart syn drome, an uncorrectable heart defect that, even with exten sive interventions, would likely prevent him from reaching

adulthood.

Our family learned that the journey with a medically fragile child is one of unimagina ble goodness and beauty, but also a weary ing ritual of round-the-clock care, weekly doctor visits, countless hours in hospi tals, and days interrupted by unplanned rushes to the ER. Rudy spent the first eight months of his life in the ICU. It was a mys

tery to many how he ever got out of the hospital, let alone survived one year to the next while exuding incredible joy, love, and wonder. We learned to live with an underlying tension being vigilant about Rudy’s medical needs while diving into school, work, and the life of an active family. Because any day could suddenly go sideways, we discovered that we were pretty good at operating in crisis, but in the meantime we loved Rudy and celebrated every year when another birthday came around.

Vocationally, I lead the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission, an organization serving the homeless and addicted. Among the 200 people under our roof every night, I see miracles and heroism but it’s against a backdrop of heartbreak, struggle, and unspeakable trauma. There are continual challenges to raise funds, critical issues to address, and finite resources to stretch amid a stream of never-ending needs.

As a person of faith, I believe that the fate of my family and those I serve lies in hands greater than my own, but I’ve had more than my share of sleepless nights. There are things I can’t stop worrying about, but I need some breaks and some meaningful way of getting space and distance. The most effective means I’ve discovered is to grab a paddle and point a board offshore.

To be on the ocean is to feel powerful and incredibly insignificant at the same time. You get a taste by paddling along the water’s edge, but only fully enter it when you’re far enough out to disconnect from land. You can’t make out cars and people anymore. You are invisible to them, an indiscern ible speck on an overwhelming expanse of water. The open ocean moves differently than the shallows near shore. The swells lift you on massive sheets of water and lower you into deep troughs.

Every morning, I cross a boundary where time and dis tance separate me from all that’s happening on land. I’m alone. The only person on the planet. No one will stumble in to interrupt this moment. I’m the only person seeing it, feeling it.

Paddling the open ocean involves problem-solving: observing subtle changes, knowing when a situation is turn ing from acceptably risky to potentially dangerous, recogniz ing what the elements in play will allow, and then focusing your effort for long stretches while trying to keep your heart rate and occasional panic in check.

Hours on the water have offered me moments of deep wonder from a vantage point few enjoy: spectacular sunrises, thousands of baitfish parting like a curtain, a mysterious kelp forest disappear ing into unseen depths below, an escort of curious dolphins, or the shockwave of breath exploding out of a whale’s blowhole.

These experiences of awe are what make pad dling out so necessary. I’m not escaping anything, but disengaging enough to get some perspective. There are occasionally times where insights and solutions to problems hit me, but more often it’s in the experience of solitude that a reorientation takes place. I’m reminded that I’m small so very small and powerless amid the immense forces surrounding me.

My anguish often lies in how much is outside of my control, but that’s life. I can’t control the ocean. I can’t fix Rudy’s heart. I can’t undo the traumas that bring people to my doorstep. To live is to navigate through that which I cannot control with the faith that the One in control will sustain me. Being on the ocean each morning brings awareness, and more importantly, healthy acceptance, of just how limited

THAT MORNING

OnJuly 20, 2017, I got up well before dawn. We were a couple days away from leaving on a two-week road trip to see family in Kansas, so I wanted to get in as many long paddles as I could before being landlocked. I sped through the usual routine of giving Rudy breakfast and about a dozen meds through his feeding tube, kissed all the members of my still-sleeping family, and stole out of the house with the paddle gear and office clothes I had staged the night before.

As I pulled into Goleta Beach, I could see the lights at the end of the pier reflecting off the water’s surface in an almost perfect mirror image. A placid ocean was going to allow for a magical morning. No problems to solve or tactical navigation required, just dig the paddle deep and go.

Going out along the east side of the pier, I set my heading southeast toward the four oil platforms off Carpinteria. The low sun behind them forced me to squint and focus on the nose of my board slicing into the water while I fell into a steady cadence.

When I turned around about 1½ miles off of Hope Ranch, I could just make out the light blue tower of the boat hoist back on the pier. The gentle breeze that had been cooling my face was now push ing me along. My eyes welcomed the relief from the glare as I noticed bat rays gliding below some sol itary, some in V formations, some just feet from the surface. I can’t remember how long I watched this show. It’s what happened next that I’ll never forget.

A bomb went off under my board.

That’s the best way I can describe it. An explosive impact that snapped my head back and sent all 225 pounds of me flying into the air.

So many thoughts flew through my mind in the startled second I had in the water: shock, disbelief, confusion, fear, certainty, vulnerability, a lightningfast inventory of hopeful possibilities (Rock? Dol phin? Seal? Whale?). But I knew exactly what it was. I had never encountered a shark before, but none of the creatures I knew behaved like this. There was a moment of aching loneliness as I watched the board skid away from me.

Foam churned up and water surged against my legs just before a white underside arced out in front of my face. I screamed and raised the paddle to strike, but before my reflexes could fire, there was a slap of the tail and the shark rocketed off to my right.

Instinctively, I snapped the leash on my leg to bring the board back. No sooner had I grabbed it, a second crack brought it surging toward me as the shark struck again on the opposite rail. I extended my arms to create distance while the board and I were pushed back by the charge. I kicked furiously to keep my head above water as its flaring nostrils came toward me and its teeth sank into the deck. I gripped the rail with everything I had as the thrash ing torso tried to pull the board from me, and then suddenly it released, spun to the right, and shot out of view.

The instant I had the board back, I popped up onto my knees. I looked down into the water and found it completely empty. The shark had disap peared just as quickly as it had come. I remained alert for just a few more seconds, but had a sense that it was over. It wasn’t coming back. The board

stopped rocking and the calm was already setting back on the water. I dropped my head and emptied my lungs with a primal yell. Then it was quiet again. Very quiet. I put my hands on my knees and kept my head down as I waited for things to stop spinning and my breath to return.

Saltwater, sweat, glare, and sunscreen stung my eyes behind my fogged sunglasses. I noticed something bobbing in the water off to my left. It took a moment to make sense of the odd conical shape pitching back and forth until I realized it was the tip of my board. I looked up the centerline and the smooth rails were cut short by a sawtooth serration. I started to make sense of that first explosive crack still ringing in my ears. That was supposed to be the deathblow.

It took about thirty minutes to paddle back, partly because of the board not having a nose, but also because of scattered impulses that popped through my head: Should I call 9-1-1? … I’m not hurt … I’d be back at the beach by the time they launch … Did this really happen?

Somewhere along the way I called Trish and she, my son Wilson, and Ranger Brian met me on the beach. We hustled the board up to my truck, where Brian blocked things off for privacy while he took his report. That’s not to say I went completely under the radar it wasn’t too hard for several of the morning regulars to put together the landing party, my nose-less board, and the warning signs that got posted on the beach shortly thereafter.

Although I asked to remain anonymous, a report had to be pub lished. Our town isn’t that big, and several people wouldn’t require many guesses to figure out who the “lone paddler off Goleta before 8 a.m.” would be. I had just gotten to my office when the first inquiring texts arrived. As it turns out, a kayaker got attacked just a few hours later down in Santa Barbara, and he made the national news. My little encounter got tacked on as a single sentence at the end of the wire story, and by the end of the day, I had gotten messages from around the country from people who know my habits.

Opportunity Awaits

THE STORM AFTER THE STORM

Itfelt like our trip to Kansas was coming at a good time. A couple weeks away from the ocean might do me some good, help me make sense of what just happened, and figure out if the ocean could still be my happy place. But then life got incredibly scary.  Rudy died. Totally out of the blue on our drive to Kansas. No warning. Within minutes he went from giddily splashing around in the hotel bathtub to unresponsive. We rushed him to a small-town ER but there was nothing that could be done. That crummy little heart just ran out of beats. Instead of strapping the excited kid into the car for the final drive to Grandma’s house, we loaded his body into a hearse and then stumbled our way back to California to plan a funeral.

As schooled as we were in Rudy’s prognosis, there was no way to prepare for losing him. Being with Rudy was a deep dive into indescribable love and beauty and having it ripped away was gutting. My head spun. Sleep and cogent thinking were scarce. Life was a fog, and I could only focus on the few things that seemed to emerge out of the blur with some sense of urgency.

Among these were some physical symptoms Trish could no longer ignore: tingling in her extremities, challenges walking, and occasional slurred speech. Six weeks after Rudy’s death, she was diagnosed with ALS. We were already seeing the start of a deterioration process that she wouldn’t survive.

There is no sugar-coating ALS, and nowhere was this more evident than in the way it attacked someone as dynamic and unforgettable as Trish. She was elegant, charming, car ing, sang like an angel, and had the deepest blue eyes that sparkled when she laughed. An impossible number of people considered her their “best friend” thanks to her incredible ability to connect and love deeply.

As courageously as Trish faced her illness, and as much as we embraced good things in life and celebrated the time we had together, it became a succession of gut-punches as one body part after another lost movement and one ability after another got diminished before disappearing completely. In two short years, the disease progressed to the final act of shutting down her lungs, having rendered every last muscle in her body useless and having robbed her of every stitch of the beauty and femininity she radiated.

And amid all of this, I needed to keep functioning. I was staggered by life, but I needed to find my way through it. My family needed me. People at work depended on me. As much as I wanted to curl up in a ball, I had to figure out a way to sustain myself and keep a modicum of sanity.

RETURNING TO THE WATER

Thereisn’t codified post-traumatic therapy for shark attacks in light of how rare they are. Not that it would even matter in my case. Somehow, “getting attacked by a shark” had gotten knocked down to third on the list of lifealtering traumas I needed to work through. As there was no way to pause life, my objective became to try and function as healthily as I could. When I got stuck, I adopted a practice of asking myself what a healthy person would do and then giving that my best shot.

A healthy person would be out on the ocean or at least a healthy me would. I stayed off the water for more than a month while sleep deprivation was making it dangerous to drive, let alone paddle. Even when the initial shock wore off, I didn’t really feel like pad dling, but then again, there were many days when I didn’t really feel like breathing. A few concerned friends suggested that I go out for a couple of trips just to see how it felt. Maybe I could stay close to shore and not go out so deep.

I guess that was an option, but I quickly realized I couldn’t hug the coast. Even on my first morning back, the memory of the attack diminished as my board punched through the first crest. The urge came to dig deep and slide up the next wave ... and the next ... and the one after that. Every stroke brought separation from land and all that lay back there. Getting through the shallow chop fed the hunger for the bigger, slower troughs of the open ocean and, soon enough, I was back on my way to disappearing.

I don’t want to come off as fearless. It’s not like I haven’t thought about the shark. Early on, I spent lots of time looking down into the water, and a submerged strand of kelp can still occasionally give me a start. But that’s rare, and I am recapturing the joy and wonder. Space and solitude on the ocean allow emotions to come to the surface. Some days, I paddle with tears streaming down my face. I groan, not because I’m physically straining, but because life feels like it’s crushing me. And I scream without anyone hearing me as I hurl anguish out into the ether.

Other days, I am completely quiet, lying down on the board so I can feel even the slightest ripple while I lose track of time. I don’t solve any of my problems or make much more sense of life, but somehow I get enough separation to keep me sane and through another day or two. I’ll take it.

The Power of Music

Hale Milgrim and Richard Salzberg Bring the Sounds of Change to the Lobero

by Leslie Dinaberg Photos by David Cowan

Fueled

by a mutual passion some might call it an obsession for the connective chords of music, Hale Milgrim and Richard Salzberg have once again reunited to bring us a new installment of their beloved Go to Hale: Quips & Clips series. This one, titled “Sounds of Change,” takes place at the Lobero Theatre on Saturday, November 5, at 6:52 p.m. though they recommend getting there at 6:22 p.m. for the preshow.

The former CEO and President of Capitol Records, Mil grim has hosted these benefit shows for the Lobero since 2008, using a vast private archive of musical film footage as a springboard to share personal stories of his many years in the music industry, including his relationships with artists before and during his tenures at Capitol, Elektra/Asylum/Nonesuch, and Warner Brothers/Reprise, among others. You wouldn’t know it from his warm, generous, and unpretentious mod esty, but there’s hardly a big name (Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Paul McCartney, Richard Thompson, Radiohead, Metallica, Neil Young, Tracy Chapman, Crowded House, 10,000 Maniacs, Talking Heads, The Pretenders, The Cure, Steve Winwood, Prince, Dire Straits, Randy Newman, Ry Cooder, Little Feat, Van Halen, Eric Clapton, The Who, and on and on … ) in the music industry whose life Milgrim has not touched.

Salzberg has been a key part of the Quips & Clips series, a true labor of love for both men, for the last decade or so. They became friends after constantly seeing each other at shows at Santa Barbara venues like SOhO, the Santa Barbara Bowl, smaller clubs, and of course their beloved Lobero. Eventu ally Salzberg approached Milgrim in the parking lot of their mutual “office,” a k a the UPS store where they do their mail ing. “He handed me a live Rolling Stones concert DVD … saying, ‘Here’s some music I want you to listen to,’” says Mil grim, his eyes twinkling at the memory. “That was the begin ning of this long-term relationship that’s been around how long ago was that? Fifty, sixty years ago,” he jokes.

“Richard has added so much to my life. He could be a family member of my wife and I. We love that,” says Milgrim, who met his wife, Anne, while working at the Magic Lantern Theater in Isla Vista. They do indeed get so excited about their music “finds” that they can sometimes spend all day working together and continue texting into the wee hours of the morn ing about whatever it is they’re watching at home.

I was fortunate to visit Salzberg and Milgrim’s inner sanc tum last week to peek behind the scenes to see how they

create their special presentations. After a far too quick tour of Salzberg’s extensive musical archives (to give you an idea of how much music he has, the digitized archive is stored on a 32-terabyte drive), we delved right into their production process.

The theme, “Sounds of Change,” and the timing of the show, three days before the midterm elections, are very inten tional, Milgrim notes. “I’m going to try to tell some stories of the artists that I was fortunate enough to work with, or ones that we both just appreciate so much that we want to share. We want people to get an idea of why we’re so excited.”

They want to communicate “how music has changed the world and how it changes us,” says Salzberg, providing some insight into why his Music Maniac business card has the tagline “Discover, Appreciate, Share.”

“And you know, music has that quality that’s undeniable. It pulls on your heart; it makes you feel good, or you can feel sad. The great part about it is the different qualities that are bringing, hopefully, some joy, some kind of happiness, or some kind of emotion out of us,” says Milgrim. “In these times that we’re all living, to have a little break from some of the ongoing onslaught that we’re being inundated with, then to have something that you can watch and listen to and let your heart be open to. It’s very special, I think.”

He’s right.

We move our conversation to Salz berg’s state-of-the-art home screening room, where they show me two clips of different artists singing Sam Cooke’s 1964 classic “A Change is Gonna Come,” an obviously great fit for the “Sounds of Change” show.

Both versions are equally powerful and moving, with incredibly different interpretations. I have no idea how they’re going to decide which one to use, especially as Salzberg explains that they viewed dozens of versions of the song before (“Possibly, we’re still undecided”)

choosing one. The haunting lyrics still resonate: “It’s been a long / a long time coming / but I know a change gonna come / Oh, yes it will.”

“For the two and a half years that we were all living this other life of celibacy, in a strange sense, one of the things we lost during the pandemic was having people come over. Having people share music or stories or us going to their home it was a loss. And it’s a loss that we’re not going to be able to totally fill that void,” says Milgrim. “But now we’re all hopefully back and doing our best to make up for it.”

“We think of the Lobero as kind of our living room that we’re inviting our friends to,” they say. Next up is a recording studio session of Bonnie Raitt and David Lindley dueting on “Everywhere I Go,” for the 2014 album Looking Into You: A Tribute to Jackson Browne. This fascinating piece of history (with the added bonus that both Raitt and Browne played shows at the Bowl, where Milgrim was a board member for more than 12 years) is just one of the hundreds of clips Salz berg and Milgrim are considering for the “Songs of Change” program.

What will end up in the show is anyone’s guess, including its two principals. “If it resonates, we’re going to put it in,” says Salzberg. “That’s one of the advantages that we have is that we’re the two that make that decision. It’s all down to us. And we can do it literally the day before or the day of if we want. We’re going to drive other people crazy that are trying to coordinate everything for us, but at the end of the day, that’s what it’s about. It’s about spontaneity, but at the same time, realizing we’ve got a program we want to share with everyone.”

And the other key factor is that despite many requests to repeat the shows elsewhere or capture them for posterity, the pair adamantly agree that it’s for one night only.

“You’ve got to come to the Lobero; we’re not going to film it; we’re not gonna do anything that you can watch or see again. If you love music, if you love to be spontaneous, if you’re open enough to hear a couple different things that maybe you’re not as familiar with, this is the evening,” says Milgrim. “November 5, 6:52 p.m. be at the Lobero Theatre, and you will see something that’s going to be that night and that night only.” n

“When

Milgrim,

“There are constant synapses in this connection that goes back and forth between us. … We sometimes will make a musical reference from something from 30 or 40 years ago that maybe not everybody else would really appreciate,” laughs Richard Salzberg (right) with Hale Milgrim.

Spirit Bird, Livestock Thief, National Symbol

treated it as they did other predators, such as wolves, bears, and mountain lions. It was regarded as a livestock thief and as a threat to the individual’s livelihood, or to the food that one put on the table. So it wasn’t hard to find references in the documents to people expressing a dismay with bald eagle behavior or a dislike for the species itself.

I also went to one source, Newspapers.com, which is a fantastic database. It’s a collection of thousands of daily and weekly newspapers from across the country dating back to the colonial period. I conducted a search at one point, with a date range from 1850 to 1920, with three words in quotation marks: “bald eagle shot,” and I got well over 100,000 hits. There were just endless articles about bald eagles being shot. Rarely did the newspapers condemn this kind of activity. It was treated more like somebody catching a big fish.

I read the field notes of John James Audubon, and he hated bald eagles. I found other references like that from members of National Audubon. They testified before Con gress, calling the bald eagle livestock killers, and one expert witness before Congress said he could not deny that bald eagles didn’t kidnap babies.

On Thursday, November 3, Jack E. Davis, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Gulf, will discuss his latest book, The Bald Eagle: The Improbable Journey of America’s Bird, at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

I recently interviewed Davis via Zoom from his home in Florida.

Book Traces America’s History with the Bald Eagle

by Hugh Ranson, Member of the Santa Barbara Audubon Society

Your latest book looks at U.S. environmental history through the lens of the bald eagle. Can you talk about how the book came to be? I’m very much aware that environmental writers tend to write for the choir, so I wanted to write an environmental story that I thought would reach beyond the usual audience and across the political spectrum, and what better subject than the bald eagle, because who doesn’t love the bald eagle?

I also wrote the book because we’re observing bald eagles today in numbers and frequency that we didn’t 20 years ago. I’m a baby boomer, and I never saw one growing up. People are really excited to see them. I call it a “poke the guy in the ribs next to you,” that moment of excitement. And so I thought, people might like to know a little bit more about this bird that they are so excited about. And not just about the species itself, but also the historical relationship with our country and with Americans.

Many of the early leaders, such as Jefferson and Adams, were pretty keen naturalists; it certainly doesn’t seem to be the case today that our leaders are really interested in natural history. Why the discrep ancy? I think because then life was so immersed in nature.

America was an agrarian economy; you’re outdoors all the time; you’re engaged; you’re paying attention to nature. It was very common for the average individual to have a weather diary, and to record what they saw outdoors. And so I think there was more of an intimate relationship with nature. Today, unfortunately, so many people are concealed indoors in an air-conditioned space. Architecturally, in our lifetime, we’ve seen windows grow smaller on buildings. Rooms got shorter; we’ve lost front porches.

One of my favorite sections of the book concerns Native Ameri cans and their relationship with eagles, which was their spirit bird. Could you talk a little bit about that relationship? We don’t want to lump all native peoples into an undif ferentiated whole. Not all native people saw bald eagles as spirit birds, but many did. This relationship with bald eagles goes back thousands of years. For many years, the bald eagle was a conduit between them, their ancestors, and the higher sphere. Their body parts feathers, talons, wings, and beaks, and so forth were used as a way to connect with ancestors or the higher spirit. Bald eagle feathers and body parts were very important in religious rituals and in ceremonies.

Native peoples did take bald eagles out of the wild for those purposes, but they didn’t take them in excess. And typically, the individual who captured or killed a bald eagle was a designated individual that had to go through an elab orate ceremony beforehand, perhaps fasting and praying.

Many people are aware of the effects of DDT in sending birds, includ ing bald eagles, to the brink of extinction. But most people haven’t heard of the wholesale slaughter of eagles in the 19th century. How did this come to your attention, and was the information you found easy to attain? The information was fairly accessible. Ameri cans loved the image of the bald eagle, but they didn’t care for the living species. It’s a predator animal, and Americans

You mention Audubon. I got the sense in the book that you don’t have the highest regard for John James Audubon, for whom the Audubon Society is named. He actively despised bald eagles and seemed like a bit of an insufferable character. If you could choose one of the other early naturalists who would maybe be a better role model or the more appropriate standard-bearer for today’s conser vation groups, who would it be? One of Audubon’s contempo raries, Alexander Wilson. The thing about Wilson is that he tended to humble himself before nature, whereas Audubon always saw himself and humanity as superior to nature. I love that Alexander Wilson said that we should not pretend that we know everything about nature, that we can ever know everything about nature, including birds, that there’s an intelligence there that’s different from ours, that we just simply can’t comprehend.

I gained a great appreciation for Alexander Wilson. Not that he didn’t go out and shoot birds for recreation like John James Audubon did. But at least the guy was a deeper thinker than Audubon and ahead of his day. Why we don’t more frequently name organizations after people such as Wilson, I don’t know.

Maybe we can work together to rename the society the National Wil son Society. I have a feeling that won’t happen. But the D.C. Audubon group did change its name, not because of his bloody campaign out in the wild, but because he was a slave owner. It is ironic that this guy who slaughtered birds for pleasure is the namesake of one of the earliest conservation organizations, and one of the most influential conservation organizations today.

Davis will discuss his book on Thursday, November 3, at 7:30 p.m. at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History (2559 Puesta del Sol). The event is part of UCSB’s Arts and Lectures series and is co-presented with Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and Santa Barbara Audubon Society. Admission is free with prior registration.

Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley Returns

When Shelby Sim was hired to run Visit the Santa Ynez Valley in 2014, the travel bureau was just four years old and still struggling to assert its relevance.

“When I got here, the valley was all very separate: Solvang did its thing, Los Olivos was the wine town, Buellton was the gateway, and Los Alamos just had Flatbread,” recalled Sim, a former project manager whose only previ ous hospitality experience was working at the Bacara. “I realized our job was to fill hotels and not worry about the organization, and that’s been my goal: to connect it all and sell the valley concept to everybody.” While people who loved Solvang might plan a quick overnight visit, he explained, “If you come knowing about the entire Santa Ynez Valley, then it’s a three- to four-day trip.”

A few years into the job, Sim wanted to further bolster that message. “What could we do to cement the Santa Ynez Valley worldwide?” he wondered. “Why not turn a pro gressive dinner into a progressive festival, so that every day would focus on one of our unique communities?”

In 2019, that concept was launched as Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley, and the inaugural four-day affair was an instant hit. Then, of course, came COVID, which put the event on hold. But despite initial doomsday fears, the coronavirus wasn’t so horrible for hospitality.

“The pandemic was good for us. We’re wideopen spaces. We can’t do a 2,000-room conven tion. All of our stuff is small. Who wants to be in a room with 5,000 people right now?” said Sim, whose hotel partners chalked up record numbers despite lockdowns. And while certain sectors, like wine tasting rooms, are showing some stagna tion today, there’s no sign of that trend slowing for hotels. “Our occupancy is over the unicorn year of 2021,” said Sim, who believes the valley is attracting brand-new visitors now, including many families. “It’s going like gangbusters.”

Prepare for more, because Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley is back from November 3-6, and it’s only bigger, with 18 events spread across four days and five towns. “It’s really a reinvention of the whole thing,” said Sim, who, as of last week, had already sold 50 percent more tickets than in 2019. He’s proud to have Sunset Magazine as a media partner and to donate 5 percent of every ticket sold to Feed the Valley, a nonprofit that provides meals to those in need.

Among other highlights, there are long-table dinners in the middle of Bell Street in Los Alamos,

amid the quaint cottages of Los Olivos, and surrounded by neon signs and gas station parapherna lia at the Mendenhall Museum in Buellton. There’s a wine pairing after noon at the Ballard Inn, a charcuterie class at Brick Barn Estate where participants make their own ceramic plate, and, as Sunday’s closing act, a concert by the country music band LANCO under the stars at Solvang’s Festival Theater.

Along the way are photography lessons, vine yard hikes and yoga sessions, and horseback and hay wagon rides. Oh, and there will be wine, with each event highlighting Santa Barbara County’s various grape-growing appellations, from the Sta. Rita Hills and Ballard Canyon to the Los Olivos District and Happy Canyon.

Ticket prices range widely, from a $10 hike through Midland School to $40 for wine tastings to $150 for the big dinners. The LANCO concert, which is preceded by a mini-festival of wine, beer, and food, costs $75 to $110 depending on seats. The money move is opting for one of the all-access passes, which come in a day rate ($250-$350), multi-day rates ($550-$850), or just do the whole four-day shebang for $1,000.

Sim is excited to see growth in Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley’s second incarnation and will be tweaking and expanding the format in the years to come. But he already feels justified in his leader ship of Visit Santa Ynez Valley over the past eight years.

“We don’t feel like we’re a secret anymore. We really feel like we’ve arrived,” he said. “It’s up to us to keep the momentum going.”

As a fifth-generation Santa Barbaran from the Cota lineage, the Canary Hotel’s beverage manager Jazz Moralez quickly brought home town vibes to the cocktail menu at Finch & Fork after being hired a year ago, nod ding to our history with drinks like the Don Oreña and Francesco Franceschi. Now she’s adding holidays to the mix and starting a series of mixology lessons with this weekend’s Witches & Brew cocktail class, where participants will learn to make four different Halloween-inspired drinks and drink two of them for $31.

“As much as I love children, I wanted to do something for adults,” said Moralez, whose extended family has lived on Mel lifont Avenue on the Eastside for decades. And she knows many of us adults have collected an eclectic range of liquor bot tles over the years that we aren’t sure what to do with.

“This is a class about how to be stra tegic with your hodgepodge, and also how to impress your friends,” she said, explaining that her intent is to riff on the classics. “I don’t want to send guests off to buy 50 million ingredients.”

The cocktails which can also be ordered at the bar for those not attending class are the Bella Lugosi, a champagne cocktail that includes nitro Guinness topped with agave syrup and mole choc olate bitters; the American Werewolf in London, a spin on the espresso martini with Cutler’s Cold Brew and gin; the Cold Blooded, which adds pinches of salt to a black Manhattan base; and the Chil dren of the Corn, a carbonated refresher starring Nixta corn liqueur.

Moralez plans to host more classes

in the future and continue to develop cocktails that reflect on her world trav els, from flamenco dancing across Spain to learning Portuguese in Brazil. “I have a very eclectic understanding of drinks,” she said.

She’s also worked all across town, from The Lark, Les Marchands, and Loquita to El Encanto and Hotel Californian, and was even the food and nutrition super visor at Cottage Hospital during the early days of COVID. The indulgence of the hospitality industry eventually lured her back. “I’m all about that glut tony,” laughed Moralez, and she’s quite prepared to share that passion with the rest of us.

The Witches & Brew classes are 4-6 p.m. on Friday, October 28; Sunday, October 30; and Monday, October 31 at Finch & Fork inside the Kimpton Canary, 31 W. Carrillo Street. The $31 cost includes two drinks, which cost $15 each when ordered from the bar.

SPOOKY SIPS: The Canary Hotel’s beverage manager Jazz Moralez (below) crafted four Halloween-inspired drinks for the Finch & Fork bar and will be teaching guests how to make them this weekend.

Dutch Garden Ready to Bloom

On June 22, 2020, I sadly broke the news that the South Coast was about to say goodbye to local din ing icon Dutch Garden at 4203 State Street, and three days later, the eatery closed after 75 years in business, the most recent 40 years under the same ownership. Since that time, the busi ness was sold and proprietors Charlie Fredericks and brothers Matt and Dan iel English have been working hard to bring it back. That’s no easy task when you have to bring infrastructure that is four decades behind the times up to code because Santa Barbara County rules dictate that grandfathering ends when a business changes hands.

Fast forward to October 2022 and I am happy to report that final inspection is scheduled for this week. I am told that if Dutch Garden passes the test, they hope to open by the end of the month, with a possible target date of October 28. They have resubmitted for final inspection five different times, so of course the open ing date might again be pushed back. No grand opening is planned. “We’re just going to flip the ‘closed’ sign over quietly one of these days,” says partner Matt Eng lish. “It should be about a week. We’ll let it virally spread. People are jonesing. We can’t wait.”

English tells me that they have been working hard to bring the place back much like it was before with a few mod ern additions. He showed the dining room, and at first glance the interior looks the same as it always has. “We had to redo everything, including plumb ing and electrical,” said English. “This is a new wall but we saved the old trim, touched it up, and put it back. We saved the tchotchkes and put new curtains up like the old ones. This is a dream come true. I am just excited and grateful that we have made it through. We have had a lot of support behind us.”

I am told Dutch Garden will have the same menu with a pickle plate and

a charcuterie plate added. They will be only opening up for lunch 11 a.m.-3 p.m. for the first two or three weeks because they want to execute their operation really well. Lunch will be nearly identical to the way previous owner Ken Luetjen did it, but they will “play around” with the dinner menu a bit, though it will still include German classics. Initially, they are not going to offer to-go with Grubhub or Uber Eats so that they can focus on the diners who are coming in and make their experience the best they can. When dinner service becomes available it will likely start at 5 p.m. A limited menu will be available for in the in-between hours, and brunch is being considered.

GOLETA IHOP CLOSE TO OPENING: In April 2021, I wrote that IHOP at 4765 Calle Real in Goleta will be closing its doors and reopening in the University Plaza shopping center, home to Albertsons and the DMV. IHOP replaces Itsuki res taurant, which closed last September, and Chick-fil-A will replace IHOP on Calle Real. I stopped by the new IHOP today in the evening and noticed that it looked ready to go, including napkins and condiments on the tables. A large “IHOP RESTAURANT” sign had yet to be installed on the building and the area near the cash register still needs some finishing touches. A large “We’re Hiring” sign is displayed near the entrance.

SILVERS OMAKASE COMING TO THE FUNK ZONE:

Last August 1, I broke the news that a sushi restaurant is coming to 224 Helena Avenue, the former home of Seven Bar & Kitchen, and speculated that the most likely tenant will be Silvers Omakase, a sushi shop run by Michelin Star chef Lennon Silvers Lee who used to helm Sushi Bar Montecito. Reader George H. tells me that a liquor license application has appeared on the building confirming that Silvers Omakase is on the way to the Funk Zone.

FROM THE FATHERLAND: German cuisine

Santa Barbara

month with the reopening of Dutch Garden restaurant.

After 25 years of working in animation, Rich Wilkie, a former illustrator for Disney and Netflix, recently moved to Santa Barbara full-time and returned his artistry to the physical canvas. But his latest project is a far cry from Disney magic and animated adult sitcoms.

“I’m used to drawing movement and emotion,” Wilkie said. “But things for me started slowing down about two years ago. So I started doing portraits of people, while really trying to focus on expressions.”

“And then Putin invaded Ukraine; mil lions of people had to flee the country,” he continued. “And … just seeing all those pic tures of refugees. Well, that’s really expres sive. So I started painting them, and I got really into painting them. At some point, I had a bunch, and thought, ‘I should just do 100 of these.’”

Wilkie is donating all of the profits from the sale of those 100 portraits to aid Ukrai nian refugees. So far, he’s done about 80.

He has no personal ties to Ukraine. But, Wilkie said, “the helpless expressions of the children fleeing the fighting, and watching their fathers taken off to war, compelled me to do something.”

The former animator uses oil paint to portray the heartache felt by those displaced from their homes. Part of Wilkie’s artistic process includes exploring the subject’s feel ings, a technique he picked up from study ing acting for his work in animation. “I find an image, and then I write down the emotion that I am trying to portray,” Wilkie said.

“Then I try to think of some thing in my life that relates to that.”

Reflecting on this process for refugee portraits, Wilkie found himself choking up. Many of the images he paints depict expressions of sad ness, confusion, and fear.

And many of those expressions are worn by children.

“I spend three to five hours on each paint ing,” he said. “It grates on you after a while. It gets dark, so I had to try and do something fun as well. So I paint smiling, happy chil dren to try to focus on that. Sometimes you have to mix it up,” said Wilkie, who began painting at 9 years old but ended up creating for the screen. His name can be found in the credits of Disney classics like Pocahon tas and Hercules, as well as television shows such as King of the Hill and Scooby-Doo

Now that he’s found time to pick up his paintbrush once again, he incorporates techniques learned during his time in ani mation to breathe life into his portraits. As part of what he calls “a constant learning process,” Wilkie taps into emotion, smears the edges in his pieces to give them vitality and movement, and never skimps on lifegiving color.

So far, he’s only sold a few paintings. Every penny, though, has gone to refugee relief efforts, specifically the International Committee of the Red Cross’s response to Ukrainian refugee needs. His work can be viewed at richwilkie.com, and on Sundays in the Santa Barbara Arts & Crafts Show.

Soweto Musical Gospel Calling at Campbell Hall

When it comes to world-renowned keepers of the great South African choral music flame, two enterprises spring to mind. Ladysmith Black Mambazo, coming to the Lobero Theatre next spring, formed in 1960 and was brought into broader global consciousness, in part, through work on Paul Simon’s Graceland. In terms of post-Apartheid cultural history, Soweto Gospel Choir, formed by the late David Mulovhedzi and Beverly Bryer in 2003, has captivated audiences and the music world in general, and makes its welcome return to Campbell Hall on Wednesday, November 2.

Both groups produce a celebratory sound rooted in gospel music, projecting vibrancy and joy despite the legacies of strife and adversities in their native land. Both groups also accentuate the strong natural and continuingly symbiotic relationship between African and American music. Thus, we feel no cognitive dissonance or disarming surprise in soaking in Soweto Gospel Choir’s bold new program Hope, which switch-hits between South African songs including Hugh Masakela’s “Sechaba” and spirituals from both continents, alongside freshly arranged takes on such American classics as the Staple Singers’ “I’ll Take You There,” Steve Wonder’s “Heaven Help us All,” and even Mike + the Mechanics’ gospelinfused hit “The Living Years.”

A touring band known for their high-energy live shows, lead singer and chief songwriter Brandon Lancaster (hence the band’s name), along with guitarist Eric Steedly, keyboardist Jared Hampton, bassist Chandler Baldwin, and drummer Tripp Howell happily hit the road once things opened up for concerts. They also have a recently released EP, Low Class Lovers, with five new songs focused on soldiering on against the headwinds of uncertainty and occasional heartbreak to squeeze out every last ounce of joy from life.

With kudos such as, “The band continues to cultivate an identity as expert showmen” (Rolling Stone), and “Best concert we have seen! They put in a great show! Can’t wait to see them

to be a fun

The show takes place at the 700-seat, open-air, Solvang

The group has won three Grammy awards in the Best Traditional World Music category, for Blessed, African Spirit, and Freedom, respectively, and a long list of collaborators over the years has included the likes of Aretha Franklin, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Bono, Peter Gabriel, and John Legend. They have been granted audience and engaged as audience with such powerful leaders as President Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu, President Barack Obama, and Montecito’s own Oprah Winfrey.

The current tour promises to usher in a fresh wave of spirit-rejuvenating energy for this still-tender late-pandemic cultural environment. On a timely tour and program dubbed “HOPE It’s Been a Long Time Coming,” the group mixes material from South Africa and soul music with links to the Civil Rights Movement, including the timelessly anthemic Sam Cooke song “A Change Is Gonna Come,” another natural fit on the new album.

The concert comes to us courtesy of UCSB Arts & Lectures. It is a prime example of the series’ intentional focus on music and figures of global importance, as well as a renewed attention paid to programming aligned with themes of racial justice and inclusiveness. And in the case of this event, hope is the stated, driving and harmonious force.

Ukrainian refugee portraits by Rich Wilke

21-Apr. 19):

all the rich

in the world, Aries

MacKenzie Scott is the most generous. Dur ing a recent 12-month period, she gave away $8.5 billion. Her focus is on crucial issues: racial equality, LGBTQ+ rights, pandemic relief, upholding and promoting democ racy, and addressing the climate emergency. She disburses her donations quickly and without strings attached, and prefers to avoid hoopla and ego aggrandizement. I suggest we make her your inspirational role model in the coming weeks. May she motivate you to gleefully share your unique gifts and blessings. I think you will reap selfish benefits by exploring the perks of generosity. Halloween costume suggestion: philanthropist, Santa Claus, compassion freak.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): What animal best represents your soul? Which species do you love the most? Now would be a good time to try this imaginative exercise. You’re in a phase when you’ll thrive by nurturing your inner wild thing. You will give yourself blessings by stoking your creature intel ligence. All of us are part-beast, and this is your special time to foster the beauty of your beast. Halloween costume suggestion: your favorite animal or the animal that symbol izes your soul.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): During the tyrannical reign of Spain’s fascist government in the 1930s, Gemini poet Federico García Lorca creatively resisted and revolted with great courage. One critic said Lorca “was all freedom inside, abandon and wildness. A tulip, growing at the foot of a concrete bul wark.” I invite you to be inspired by Lorca’s untamed, heart felt beauty in the coming weeks, Gemini. It’s a favorable time to rebel with exuberance against the thing that both ers you most, whether that’s bigotry, injustice, misogyny, creeping authoritarianism, or anything else. Halloween costume suggestion: a high-spirited protestor.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): If the trickster god Mercury gave you permis sion to do one mischievous thing today and a naughty thing tomorrow and a rascally thing two days from now, what would you choose? Now is the perfect time for you Cancerians to engage in roguish, playful, puckish actions. You are especially likely to get away with them, karmafree and probably even benefit from them especially if they are motivated by love. Are you interested in taking advantage of this weird grace period? Halloween costume suggestion: prankster, joker, fairy, elf.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Everyone’s mind constantly chatters with agitated fervor what I call the ever-flickering flux. We might as well accept this as a fundamental element of being human. It’s a main feature, not a bug. Yet there are ways to tone down the inner commotion. Meditation can help. Communing with nature often works. Doing housework sometimes quells the clamor for me. The good news for you, Leo, is that you’re in a phase when it should be easier than usual to cultivate mental calm. Halloween costume suggestion: meditation champion, tranquility superstar, gold medalist in the relaxation tournament.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Education is an admirable thing,” said author Oscar Wilde. “But it is well to remember that noth ing worth knowing can be taught.” What?! That’s an exas perating theory. I don’t like it. In fact, I protest it. I reject it. I am especially opposed to it right now as I contemplate your enhanced power to learn amazing lessons and useful knowledge and life-changing wisdom. So here’s my mes sage for you, Virgo: What Oscar Wilde said DOES NOT APPLY to you these days. Now get out there and soak up all the inspiring teachings that are available to you. Halloween costume suggestion: top student.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): To celebrate Halloween, I suggest you cos tume yourself as a character you were in a past life. A jeweler in first-century Rome? A midwife in 11th-century

Homework:

China? A salt trader in 14th-century Timbuktu? If you don’t have any intuitions about your past lives, be playful and invent one. Who knows? You might make an accu rate guess. Why am I inviting you to try this fun exercise? Because now is an excellent time to re-access resources and powers and potentials you possessed long ago even as far back as your previous incarnations.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I guess it would be difficult to create a practi cal snake costume for Halloween. How would you move around? You’d have to slither across the floor and the ground everywhere you go. So maybe instead you could be a snake priest or snake priestess a magic conjurer wearing snake-themed jewelry and clothes and crown. Maybe your wand could be a caduceus. I’m nudging you in this direction is because I think you will benefit from embodying the mythic attributes of a snake. As you know, the creature sheds its old skin to let new skin emerge. That’s a perfect symbol for rebirth, fertility, transformation, and healing. I’d love those themes to be your specialties in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “I need my sleep,” proclaimed Sagittarian comedian Bill Hicks. “I need about eight hours a day and about 10 at night.” I don’t think you will need as much slumber as Hicks in the coming nights, Sagittarius. On the other hand, I hope you won’t scrimp on your travels in the land of dreams. Your decisions in the waking world will improve as you give yourself maximum rest. The teach ings you will be given while dreaming will make you extra smart and responsive to the transformations unfolding in your waking life. Halloween costume suggestion: dancing sleepwalker, snoozing genius, angel banishing a nightmare, fantastic dream creature.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Recently, my mom told me my dad only spoke the Slovakian language, never English, until he started 1st grade in a school near Detroit, Michigan. Both of his parents had grown up in the Austro-Hungarian Empire but immigrated to the United States in their youth. When I related this story to my Slovakian cousin Robert Brežny, he assured me it’s not true. He met my dad’s mother several times, and he says she could not speak Slovakian. He thinks she was Hungarian, in fact. So it’s unlikely my dad spoke Slovakian as a child. I guess all families have odd secrets and mysteries and illusions, and this is one of mine. How about you, Capricorn? I’m happy to say that the coming months will be a favorable time to dig down to the roots of your family’s secrets and mysteries and illusions. Get started! Halloween costume suggestion: your most fasci nating ancestor.

.AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): My Aquarian friend Allie told me, “If a demon turned me into a monster who had to devour human beings to get my necessary protein, I would only eat evil billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.” What about you, Aquarius? If you woke up one morning and found you had transformed into a giant wolf-dragon that ate people, who would you put on your menu? I think it’s a good time to meditate on this hypothetical question. You’re primed to activate more ferocity as you decide how you want to fight the world’s evil in the months and years to come. Halloween costume suggestion: a giant wolf-dragon that eats bad people.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Do you value the feeling of wildness? Is that an experience you seek and cultivate? If so, what conditions rouse it? How does it feel? When it visits you, does it have a healthy impact? Are you motivated by your pleasurable brushes with wildness to reconfigure the unsatisfying and unwild parts of your life? These are questions I hope you will contemplate in the coming weeks. The astrological omens suggest you have more power than usual to access wildness. Halloween costume suggestion: whatever makes you feel wild.
