On Tuesday, August 20, the community surged at Santa Barbara City Hall to show their support for Gary Fruin, early morning radio host for K-LITE 101.7 FM for the past 34 years. Fruin had to step away from the mic because his cancer had returned. Mayor Randy Rowse issued an honorary proclamation, purportedly to observe National Radio Day, to Gary for his honorary service.
His wife, Camille Cimini Fruin (who is a longtime Indy advertising representative), said, “The tremendous support from our community has truly moved Gary and me! The love from our family, friends, co-workers, AND the K-LITE audience has greatly boosted his spirits. Gary truly loves his job and his morning partner Catherine; through the cards and well wishes he’s received, we know his listeners have been touched by his joy throughout his time on the radio.”
She added, “He was so honored by the S.B. City Council recognition; seeing that chamber packed with so many folks along with our daughter Cara and granddaughters Izzy and Maeve (daughter Delaney was in Hawai’i) was a grand celebration that will stay in his heart forever. We are so grateful for the ongoing support from our entire community. “

Sunlight sparkled off the glitter and glam seen throughout the Pacific Pride Festival at Chase Palm Park on Saturday, creating the perfect atmosphere for the annual celebration of Santa Barbara’s LGBTQ+ community.
In his opening remarks, the Pacific Pride Foundation’s (PPF) new Executive Director,
Julio Roman, reminded the crowd of this year’s theme for the festival, “United in Pride,” which was all about coming together to celebrate diversity, inclusivity, and the power of community. This year’s festival also promoted accessibility, with ASL and Spanish interpreters and a raised stage for those with mobility issues.
Roman offered many sweet sentiments
and inspiring quips, which culminated in his promise that, “Together we will stand, we will rise, we will see another day.” The heavy importance of these celebrations — especially in the face of a potentially rightsthreatening presidency come 2025 — was definitely felt but did not obscure the fun. Festivities included the event’s first-ever Pride Pet Parade, as well as dancing, art, face painting, games, and performances by Santa Barbara’s most beloved drag queens and other performers. More than 70 community vendors filled the park, from environmental and social justice organizations to church groups to the Neighborhood Clinics, who were offering free health and STI screenings.
“This festival is a celebration for every generation and every identity within the LGBTQ+ community,” said Roman. “I am thrilled to join the team at PPF and celebrate with everyone as we continue our commitment to creating safe spaces and advancing health equality and social justice initiatives for the LGBTQ+ community in Santa Barbara County.”

Santa Barbara County farmworkers spoke out about working long days in extreme heat and sustaining injuries from heavy rains to the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday morning. They were advocating for a living wage amid the blistering effects of climate change.
Later in the meeting, supervisors referred to these stories in discussing the county’s ambitious 2030 Climate Action Plan (CAP). The plan outlines ways to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030 and, under the California Environmental Quality Act, to provide the county with the ability to streamline the environmental review process of future development projects.
Despite containing a few wrinkles, the board voted 3-2 to adopt the plan and iron it out later.
It took four years to get the final plan before the board, including “aspirational measures and goals” and “actions that could be implemented” to reduce emissions by 50
percent below 2018 levels. Adoption, it was noted, would not automatically enact any policy, program, or project. Still, the plan’s bare bones were nitpicked from all sides.
An oil-and-gas-shaped elephant loomed over the boardroom, which, notably, is in Santa Maria, the county’s oil country. Any regulations on the oil and gas industry were absent from the CAP, leading to much pushback from environmental groups.
Although Sable Offshore the oil company attempting to restart offshore oil drilling operations, including the pipeline that caused the devastating 2015 Refugio Oil Spill was not mentioned by name during the meeting, its presence was felt.
Environmental groups contended that the CAP would be insufficient if oil and gas operations, such as Sable’s, were omitted. What is included, however, are multiple, broad goals, from increasing the use of zero-emission vehicles, to reducing food waste and water consumption, to supporting sustainable land management and a low-carbon, clean-energy economy.
A crowd of more than 50 people attended a walking tour on 8/24 hosted by Santa Barbara Neighbor Walks that intended to answer the big question on everyone’s mind: “What’s going on with La Cumbre Plaza?” The event included a group of speakers who shed light on the proposed plans for a redevelopment of the Macy’s department store that could bring nearly 650 units of housing, including project developer Matt Taylor (pictured), City Councilmember Eric Friedman, and Rob Fredericks, director of the city’s Housing Authority. Read more at independent.com/housing .
The county supervisors on 8/27 approved $155,000 to build a concrete contraption on the banks of Toro Canyon Creek to contain a slow-moving oil seep that’s been festering since oil was first drilled there in the 1880s. To build the concrete storage and diversion box, engineers will have to dig six feet down to stabilize the soil. That’s what the $155,000 will pay for. The oil company that drilled the original mine from which the oil has seeped has long since gone out of business. That brings the cost to the county’s general fund for this mess to date to $5.4 million.
Many of these groups at the meeting said they still wanted to see the plan pass, and emphasized that the county is already experiencing extreme climate-related events, from storms to wildfire, on a regular basis. July, one commenter mentioned, was California’s hottest month on record.
Supervisor Joan Hartmann agreed. “We’re talking about business as usual, and we’re not in that; we’re in a serious crisis for human life as we know it,” she said. “To take it as just another issue seems to be missing the whole point.”
Other public commenters worried about the individual costs to residents and businesses, on top of the $337,622,000 in up-front costs the county is facing to implement the plan over the next five years.
However, for now, the current plan, and the proposed “oil and gas resolution” that was stuck to the top, are merely words on paper.
Rather than update the current plan, the board will direct staff to identify viable measures to reduce emissions from oil and
After four nights of battling wind gusts up to 50 mph, crews fully contained the 86-acre Refugio Fire on the Gaviota Coast on 8/26. The vegetation fire started late 8/22 off the 1400 block of Refugio Road and caused evacuation warnings to be issued for parts of Refugio Canyon, which were lifted 8/23 after firefighters halted forward progress of the fire. Firefighting efforts were “assisted by the lowest recorded August temperatures in 34 years,” according to Los Padres National Forest. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Power was completely restored by 10:45 p.m. on 8/26 after a widespread power outage put 6,150 Santa Barbarans in the dark. The blackout began at 8:44 a.m. that day after one of Southern California Edison’s underground power lines was damaged when “workers inadvertently dug into our equipment,” said SoCal Edison spokesperson Diane Castro. State, Figueroa, Canon Perdido, and Santa Barbara streets went dark, hitting a slew of downtown businesses and county buildings. The Superior Court of Santa Barbara was forced to delay its Monday operations, writing on its website that “countywide computer systems” were down as a result.

Last week seemed like a move in a positive direction in the nearly yearlong conflict between the tenants of a West Beach apartment complex and the property’s owners, when the landlords’ lawyers offered the 14 remaining tenants a chance to sign a lease renewal to stay though they would have to agree to some new provisions and move into different units on the property.
But this development didn’t do much to assuage the tenants’ concerns over the eviction notices that caused this panic in the first place, and as their attorney at the Legal Aid Foundation looked deeper into the renewal agreements, the veneer of a bona-fide good-faith offer began to fade in the fine print. And when one of the tenants, Mike Aracic, got a look into the unit he was supposed to be moving into, he was shocked to find what he described in an email sent to property owners, city officials, and media as a “gutted” apartment, with “holes in the floor and rodent droppings on the filthy, ancient refrigerator.”
“Is this some kind of joke?” he asked in the message directed to landlord James Knapp. “The unit you offered me as part of this recent ‘agreement’ is not only not remotely equivalent but it’s also completely uninhabitable.”
Aracic’s message reflects the sentiments of his fellow tenants, who feel as though the renewal offers were an empty gesture and attempt to court public opinion by Knapp and his partners of the Koto Group, whose conduct, Aracic said, “remains wildly unprofessional.”
In an email response, which was also sent to all parties, Knapp wrote that the unit “is still under construction” and that work to
address the aging building “has been underway for the past few months.”
“Per the letter you received,” Knapp wrote, “we are offering you an equivalent replacement unit,” which “will be available in the next few months once completed.” They allowed Aracic to view the unit at his request, though Knapp said “no one at any point has indicated that you would move into a unit under construction.”
Attorneys for the tenants and landlords are working behind closed doors to address Legal Aid’s concerns with the offers including the fact they reference 11 attachments that weren’t provided in the documents while the tentative two-week deadline for tenants to sign their leases was unofficially extended in the meantime. But the unpolished offer, like the unfinished units and the unanswered questions over the Koto Group’s plans for international student housing, leave the tenants hesitant to sign their names on the renewals.
Further complicating matters are the criminal and civil cases making their way through the courts. Knapp is currently facing three criminal misdemeanor charges for “terminating tenancy without just cause,” failure to abide by the city’s just-cause ordinance, and neglecting to serve appropriate permits with the notices to tenants.
Knapp’s attorney Robert Forouzandeh filed a civil suit against the city in response, a lawsuit that claims the city’s criminal charges go “far beyond the specific remedy that state law allows city attorneys to pursue.” The criminal case, Forouzandeh says, is a purely “politically motivated
tion that is in violation of state law,” which “should never have been filed and should be dismissed.”
S.B. Unified High Schoolers Start School Year by Checking Their Phones into ‘Cell Hotels’
by Callie Fausey
Many teenagers, at no fault of their own, are addicted to their smartphones. But teachers across the Santa Barbara Unified School District are done competing with screens for their students’ attention.
Last week, high school students began this school year by checking their phones into “cell hotels.” Whether these hotels are charging stations, clear boxes, or a pocket chart, they take the handheld distractions out of reach of students in the classroom.
Although enforcing these policies is easier said than done, phones across the district are going “Off and Away,” a rule the Santa Barbara Teachers Association (SBTA) came up with a few years ago. It was born from discussions with the district about the impact of cell phone use on instruction, student engagement, and classroom management.
“We saw the negative impact devices were having on our students and knew we needed a change,” said SBTA leadership. “The more the policy is supported system-wide, the more benefits we’ll see for students.”
The policy is implemented across grade levels, but this year, it evolved at the high schools.
San Marcos High School was the first to adopt a schoolwide hotel policy to create consistency across classrooms, where teachers’ methods previously varied and still vary at other grade levels. Some employed hotels, while others would only require the phones to be off and out of sight.
Enforcing the policy consistently was tricky, with some teachers struggling more than others to keep students on task. Teachers reported students lying about having a phone, or putting other things in the hotels to try to trick them.
The district’s three high school principals, however, recognized the breadth of research showing the effect that phones have on students’ ability to focus, their grades, and their declining mental health, with higher screen times related to greater risks of developing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
The principals met last year and figured, “Maybe we should all do cell hotels,’” said Dos Pueblos Principal Bill Woodard. This year, hotels will be implemented schoolwide at all three high schools. They hope it sends the message that instruction is the top priority in the classroom.
“If that phone is pinging in your pocket, it can take you up to 20 minutes to refocus,” Woodard said.
According to a 2023 study by Common Sense Media, the average student receives 60 notifications and spends roughly 43 minutes the length of a class period on their phone during the school day.
Woodard said that most kids know it’s a problem, and understand the “why” behind the cell hotels. “It’s making students realize and rethink their relationship with technology,” Woodard said. “We’re an educational institution reckoning with the mix of positive and negative effects tech has had on learning. The evidence is in; now it’s what we do about it.”
If students repeatedly break the rules after a few trips to the office Woodard said students won’t be allowed to bring their phones at all, which a few parents already requested.
However, Woodard also recognized the “undercurrent of school violence” across the country. In emergencies, students will be allowed to have their phones. Additionally, students with special needs, such as those with diabetes who use their phones to track their insulin levels, will be exceptions to the rule. When students are in class, parents can reach them by calling the front office.
Assistant Superintendent ShaKenya Edison said schoolwide cell hotels are starting to gain traction districtwide. And it’s not just phones it includes headphones, smartwatches, and other tech, too.
But Santa Barbara and many other districts have realized that to successfully
Crude oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, and other petroleum products can expose you to chemicals including toluene and benzene, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. These exposures can occur in and around oil fields, refineries, chemical plants, transport and storage operations, such as pipelines, marine terminals, tank trucks, and other facilities and equipment. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/petroleum.
The foregoing warning is provided pursuant to Proposition 65. This law requires the Governor of California to publish a list of chemicals “known to the State to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.” This list is compiled in accordance with a procedure established by the Proposition, and can be obtained from the California Environmental Protection Agency. Proposition 65 requires that clear and reasonable warnings be given to persons exposed to the listed chemicals in certain situations.
On Tuesday, Forouzandeh met with Assistant City Attorney Denny Wei and Judge Clifford Anderson in closed chambers for more than 40 minutes in the latest hearing regarding the criminal case, which was continued for a readiness and settlement conference on October 7. This delay would allow some of the dust to settle regarding the renewal offers and civil lawsuit with the condition that no more harm be done to tenants in the interim.
“We’re waiting to see what’s going on next with the civil case,” Wei told the Independent, though he said he could not provide more details due to it being an ongoing case.
The criminal case is the first time the city has pursued a landlord for specifically breaking the portions of the just-cause ordinance that were updated in the past two years in order to protect tenants from the process of renoviction, in which landlords evict tenants by serving a notice that their unit will be under “substantial renovation.”
City officials updated the ordinance in March 2023 to require landlords to acquire permits for all work they claimed was needed and provide copies of the permits to tenants when serving notices. In the case of 215 Bath Street, the city prosecutor
The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Santa Ynez Tribal Health Clinic last week. The clinic grew from a small two-bedroom trailer (pictured) to its current state-of-the-art facility on the upper reservation chiefly through the energy and dedication of Rosa Pace, an obstetrics nurse and member of the tribe who secured the grants needed to start the clinic in 1974. As well as medical services, the clinic achieved running water on the reservation and dental and social services. Pace, who also started the Urban Indian Health Clinic on Milpas Street in S.B, died in 2015.

Though Measure I will appear on Santa Barbara ballots as a half-percent sales tax the city expects will raise $15.6 million to cover a $7.1 million hole in the current budget, what consumed the discussion on 8/27 was the order of the list of priorities, which will appear on the ballot as a sentence listing eight categories the additional tax would fund. Finance Director Keith DeMartini explained that the tax funds would go into the city’s General Fund, and it would be up to the council in future budget talks to decide how to distribute the money among the indicated categories of the measure’s priority list. Measure I, which is for “collective” priorities, the
argues that Knapp did not have just cause or provide the proper permit information in their January 31 notice to tenants, which only included permit numbers for minor electrical and plumbing work.
Stanley Tzankov, a co-founder of the Santa Barbara Tenants Union who has provided support to the members of the Bath Tenants Association through every step of this process, says that the recent tenant protections were passed, despite pushback from several councilmembers, due to “consistent, bold, and effective groundswell of working-class tenants and allies speaking truth to power over these last couple of years.”
“The most important provision that seemingly helped the tenants who weren’t forced out of their homes was the stronger requirements that adequate permitting be provided before noticing,” Tzankov said “This was an area where we could see that the owners of 215 Bath Street were clearly entitled to operating with reckless disregard for these types of common-sense rules and finally got tripped up by that. This is new in our area and it demonstrates how desperately these permit requirements have been needed.” n
council agreed, would increase the city’s sales tax from 8.75 to 9.25 percent if passed in November.
Convicted felon Teon Tondale West, 31, was arrested after allegedly trespassing onto La Colina Junior High campus and confronting four students on and off campus on 8/21. He was booked in county jail on multiple counts, including felony charges of threatening a crime with intent to terrorize and possessing a weapon near a school, as well as misdemeanor charges of loitering, disrupting school activities, fighting in a public place, and annoying a victim under 18. He has since posted bail. West’s extensive criminal history dates to 2015 and includes a drug conviction, felony robbery, and various other drug-related offenses.
Jose Regalado Jr., 30, of Fillmore, has been identified by the county coroner as the man fatally hit by a vehicle on the side of Highway 101 in Gaviota on 8/15. According to CHP, Regaldo was struck by an SUV driven by Solvang resident Timothy Bee, 76, who “for reasons still under investigation,” veered onto the southbound shoulder of the highway and hit Regalado and the truck he was attempting to enter before Bee stopped and called 9-1-1. According to a GoFundMe page set up for Regalado’s family, he is survived by a wife and two young sons, ages 2 and 5. CHP is actively investigating the crash and asks anyone with information to call (805) 770-4800.
Christina Reyes, 54, was staying at the Hope Village homeless shelter in Santa Maria when she was found deceased at 4:14 p.m. on 8/6. An investigation into the cause and manner of death is underway, said Raquel Zick, the spokesperson for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. n
gas processing and return to the board in six months for consideration.
Staff stressed that the county has already adopted a threshold of 1,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions for stationary sources, including oil and gas, and the county has not since received any new applications for oil or gas extraction.
Ben Oakley, with the Western States Petroleum Association, reminded the board that oil and gas operations are already regulated by more than two dozen agencies, including the California Air Resources Board, saying that any policies to curtail oil and gas activities would be “arbitrary” and result in millions in legal fees to defend their decision, pointing to Ventura as a “cautionary tale.”
Still, Supervisors Laura Capps, Joan Hartmann, and Das Williams voted in favor of adopting the plan with the proposed oil and gas resolution. Hartmann and Capps acknowledged the massive task of implementation, and the effort it will take to translate words into action, but emphasized the importance of having the CAP “framework” as a jumping-off point to then develop more concrete steps.
“I’m hoping to pass this and immediately start on implementation with stakeholders like school districts, Cottage Hospital, and major employers,” Capps said. “This is a very audacious goal 50 percent of emissions by 2030, when we’re talking now in August 2024.”
Williams said the plan should be treated with urgency, particularly in the categories that are easier to implement. He said that “this document is focused on the largest areas where we can make reductions in the most cost-effective manner.” He emphasized that “contrary to popular belief, this is not just Das sitting in a
detach students from their cell phones, they must get to the heart of the issue. Edison said they are treating phone use as addiction, not defiance.
“We are trying to tackle the physical effect of phones in hand, but also the mental element,” she explained. “We’re helping students identify why they are pulling out their phones, whether that’s social anxiety, or stress over an assignment they’re working on. We’re asking, ‘What are they escaping?’ to help them move toward self-management.”
The Off and Away policy was not only the result of teachers’ complaints about distractions, but also parents sharing the same experiences at home. To really address the issue, Edison said the district took an “all-systems” approach, involving parents, students, and pediatricians, and sharing resources to monitor screen use outside the classroom.
“We have students for 180 days, but they are part of the community [for] 365,” she said.
Schools across the state are now banning phones in the classroom, especially in the wake of a 2019 law allowing such bans and a letter from Governor Gavin Newsom
room somewhere coming up with all these things — this is an enormous effort with a ton of stakeholders.”
Williams said that it is “more than a plan”; it is a “community-driven vision for a more equitable and resilient future, and therefore is fundamentally ambitious and transformative,” which will rely on collaboration with regional agencies and individual communities.
The two North County supervisors, Bob Nelson and Steve Lavagnino, however, were not sold on this golden vision, citing disillusionment with the county’s past plans to reduce emissions and the plan’s potential impacts on households and businesses.
Nelson said he thinks the county is “a leader” in reducing emissions, with other initiatives such as limiting greenhouse gases from passing marine vessels through the Blue Whales and Blue Skies program, and worried about the effects on housing affordability and the costs associated with, for example, the switch from gaspowered to electrical appliances outlined in the CAP.
Lavagnino somewhat disagreed, saying the county is a “leader in rhetoric.”
“We’re good at talking about it, not so good at doing it, because, I know people don’t want to hear this, but we don’t get it done,” he said. The County’s 2015 goal to reduce emissions to 15 percent below 2007 levels by 2020, he said, failed. Three years later, they “didn’t lose 30 pounds,” he said, “we had freaking gained 20 pounds.”
However, Hartmann said, “We need to take a major step to transform how we’re operating as a community, and this is a framework to start in that direction. We’re going down the path without knowing all the answers, but it’s good to start.” n
last week urging school districts to restrict phone use in classrooms as the new academic year begins — in it, Newsom even applauded Santa Barbara Unified.
“Schools and districts, including Santa Barbara Unified and Bullard High in Fresno, have seen positive impacts of limiting smartphones on campus, with some reporting higher test scores, grades, and student engagement, and less bullying and damage to school facilities,” wrote Governor Newsom.
Edison confirmed this, saying students are more engaged, and parents are “receptive and appreciative.” However, they are still monitoring whether the policy will have a positive affect on academic performance as well.
In preparation for the new school year, principals throughout Santa Barbara Unified are communicating with their families to share policies and expectations for students. Woodard said parents are “pleased overall” with the policy, but he’s still waiting to hear from students.
“We’ll see when we start having gradelevel assemblies I might get booed,” he laughed. n
To the tune of Elon Musk as he gets richer expands his empire ingratiates himself with the bigwig red-haired government-types
Disappointed in Salud Carbajal as he bows down to lick boots rather than stand up for the environment and those of us in flip-flops
Shattered and shaken by booms the missed heartbeat pattern of Starlink satellites I can only imagine the magnified reverberations in ocean depths

Ibefore it hit the Florida home the threat to air traffic is non-zero.
While environmental concerns are real in a long-term sense, a more immediate concern is pure money and the airlines among others are going to be asking for reimbursement from commercial companies whose launch windows require costly rerouting of airliners and ships out of restricted launch areas.
—Larry Martinez, Noleta
Yes, 60 homeless have been housed at Buena Tierra in Goleta. I live on Ellwood Station Road. This road is a mecca for those living on the tracks. There is currently another city living on the tracks next to our neighborhood.
The railroad refuses to just close the manmade opening. The city refuses to clean up mounds of trash on our street, including feces, shopping carts, furniture, and trash, lots of trash. It smells like feces and dead animals.
just wanted to thank Nick Welsh for all his fabulous reporting throughout the years. His recent story on Vandenberg Space Force Base’s launch increases inspired me to write to Rep. Salud Carbajal. As someone who wakes up in a cold sweat due to early morning launches, rolls over, and checks Launch Monkey to make sure it was scheduled, I really appreciated the story. Thank you!
R—Sabina Funk, S.B.
egarding the proposal to increase the number of launches from Vandenberg. I once worked in the Department of Transportation’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation, and my academic work focuses on space debris and the inflection point of commercial companies now dominating the orbital realms.
Increasingly, airlines, ocean transport companies, and others are aware of the costly dislocations caused by the increase in commercial space launches that require alterations to flight patterns or shipping lanes. These companies did not complain when the government launched payloads for the national interest. Now, though, the motive is bottom-line profit for commercial companies such as SpaceX. The dislocations caused by launch windows add to airlines and others’ costs.
Add to this the threat posed by space debris surviving a fiery reentry and causing damage to buildings and other aspects of 21st-century infrastructure on earth. A Florida homeowner found a piece of SpaceX on his house. That debris was traveling at a high, uncontrolled speed through the atmosphere
During the day there are 10-15 people entering the opening and walking on the tracks to the encampment. There is a drug ring and a bike-stealing ring on the tracks.
The city constantly says it is railroad property and can do nothing. The city says they offered the homeless on the tracks housing, but they refused. Why would they accept supervised housing? They could not do drugs and theft there.
I have worked with the homeless for 10 years, initially as a volunteer with the city. Now I wash towels for the Showers of Blessing.
Sixty people in Buena Tierra and twice that many on the tracks. —Irene Russo, Goleta
¶ Last week’s story on the Santa Barbara News-Press archive erroneously stated the auction and bidding would occur on September 10. That is the date for a hearing about the auction, which will be held in two stages: October 1 for the Goleta plant items; later in October for the physical archive.

Doctor Tre Lenehan 7/23/2024
On July 23, 2024, Doctor Patricia (Trē) Lenehan moved peacefully on to her next great adventure, brain cancer having sped up her travel plans. She was 85 years young.
Doctor Lenehan was a kind, loving, supportive, positive, patient, wise adventurer and intellectual. Imagine a Mother Teresa character that does kidfriendly, standup comedy. As this wonderful woman grew as a person and explored this world, she tried on new names. Over the course of her time with us, her friends knew her as Patricia, Patty, Pat, Trish, Trisha, Trē, Doc and of course, Doctor Trē.
Ever curious, she loved to learn. And more than anything, she loved learning about people. This, combined with her exTrēme positivity, made her both everyone’s best friend and the life of any party. She saw the beauty and specialness
in all whom she met, and they, in turn, enjoyed basking in her love and appreciation.
Patrica entered this world in Ohio, the first child born to Signe and Harry (her father went by “Edgar” or “Ed”).
As Patty, she grew up in East Los Angeles, and graduated from Garfield High School (Later made famous by the movie, Stand and Deliver).
As Pat, she married, had three children, got a divorce, finished college and began life as a single parent, remarried, moved to Summerland, got divorced, moved to Santa Barbara and bought a home.
She did not let little things, like her lack of money, high costs, higher interest rates, nor the fact that women could not get loans by themselves at that time, impede her plans. Positivity was, truly, her superpower.
As Trish and Trisha, she worked MANY different jobs. Included here are just a few of them. She worked at a women’s shelter, as an insurance agent, as a banker, and she worked with our developmentally delayed population through Devereaux. Oftentimes, she worked two jobs at the same time.
During the holidays, in the evenings, she would also work at retail stores so that she could buy Christmas gifts for her children, whom she adored. She raised her three kids as a single mom. And though time and money were tight, she always found time to laugh with, encourage and support them. All three graduated from U.C.S.B. – Go Gauchos!
Despite being faced with numerous responsibilities and significant time challenges, this blessed woman never veered from her path of service. She was always volunteering for a
good cause. She would even bring persons in need, into her home, to help them get back on to their feet. And her desire to give back never ended. Tre served as a docent at the Santa Barbara Courthouse until her illness would no longer allow her to do so.
After her kids finished their university educations, Trish/ Trisha turned back to her own formal education, obtaining a Masters Degree in Psychology from California State University at Northridge – Go Matadors!
Finally, as Trē, she sought and obtained her PhD in Clinical Psychology. At this point she was focused wholly on counseling and service work, including work for Saint Vincent’s transitional housing program for low-income single mothers.
Of course, this wonderful woman was also a ferocious reader. Her friends and family all have stories of her suggesting entertaining or helpful books. One of her favorite little books was Jonathan Livingston Seagull. An excerpt reads, “Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation.”
Fun, patient and wise, like her father before her, she, likewise, became the center of the family. And, like her father before her, she hosted a large annual get together, so that her family and friends could bond and enjoy each other.
Doctor Trē is survived by her three children, Michael, Kristan and William, and their respective spouses, Marylin, Ken and Claudia. She is also survived by her sister, Bonnie, many cousins, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
This magical woman will be greatly missed.

Bobbi’s wish with her passing was for loved ones to spend quality time with family and friends and to listen to her favorite song, I HOPE YOU DANCE.
There was a “Celebration Of A Life Well Lived” at CSUMB’s Alumni and Visitor Center on August 24, 2024.
SBY MADELEINE MCQUILLAN
ally McQuillan, founder and designer of Raoul Textiles, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 14, at her home in Santa Barbara. She was a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and artist. Her talent and ferocious determination drove her business from a Quonset hut on Salsipuedes Street to an international force, and her singular genius transformed American textile design.
Sally was born in Wichita, Kansas, to Harriett and Robert Grossman. She grew up in Virginia and Florida, then went on to study at the Art Institute of Chicago. Though she majored in painting, she found herself more interested in rendering the wallpaper and fabric behind her subjects.
In 1975, she came to Santa Barbara to visit her sister Peggy at UCSB. She returned to Chicago, stayed a week, then flew back to Santa Barbara and never left. She got a job at Little Acorn nursery and met her late husband, Tim, at his restaurant, the Rhythm Café. He took her order and slipped her his number with the check. They were married in 1981 and had two children, Madeleine and Gene.
Sally was an extraordinary person; full of ideas and grit, she and Tim started Raoul with a book on silkscreening from the library and a T-shirt screen. With their children quite literally strapped to their backs, Sally and Tim started printing development yardage for surfwear and apparel brands Quicksilver, Billabong, Nike and soon outgrew their tiny Quonset hut. They moved the factory to Parker Way and took on larger and larger jobs, with printers working in shifts and hundreds of yards of fabric hanging from the rafters in wild 1980s neon bleeds.
Around this time, Sally started designing her own line of prints first for children’s clothes, then handbags, and finally for interiors, where she would leave her mark. She printed on linen, which she loved for its rustic elegance, and she insisted on always printing locally and by hand. Her designs were painterly, based on tradition but fresh, with a surprising sense of color and scale.
Sally never followed trends; she set them. When people asked how she began a design, she talked about the lines she loved drawing, and the grace of her hand is unmistakable. She never used a computer for artwork; she drew every leaf and paisley with her
stubbornly maintained Rapidograph pens. She took inspiration from the things she loved, and she loved so many things.
Sally brought the world to life; she spent hours in her greenhouse starting seeds with her beloved dog Fergus at her feet. She was an excellent, ambitious cook and loved feeding people. She set her tables with astonishing flower arrangements and knew the name of every plant. She had an instinct for when things were right but also how to make them right; when to increase the scale, move a motif, brighten a color; and how to light up a space.
Sally created a magical world for her family and for the many, many artists and craftspeople who worked at Raoul over the years. Her children were always with her; Madeleine and Gene grew up in the factory, scrambling down 30-yard-long tables, causing chaos in the paint department, napping in laundry trucks piled with linen fresh out of the dryer. After Tim died in 2000, she took the business forward, printing only her own designs at the factory (now on Los Aguajes Avenue) and expanding into national and international showrooms. She printed fabric for celebrities, hotels, her children’s class projects, and her favorite order Obama’s White House.
She was warm, generous, curious, stylish, and tough as nails. Sally inspired everyone she met; her enthusiasm and creativity was expansive. She had an unwavering sense of possibility and believed that you could (and should) do it yourself. She felt so fortunate to have spent her life doing what she loved, surrounded by her family, and she was so proud when her children joined the business.
Sally continued working and designing as long as illness allowed she would go from chemo right back to the light table, with a break for lunch and talking shop with her kids.
Many in Santa Barbara may have met Sally at the famous Raoul factory sale; many might have her fabric on their sofas, hanging in their windows, or piled in the closet, waiting to be made into a quilt. If so, you know the joy and life her textiles bring to a home. You can feel the integrity of the process, the sense of history and unique vision, the way they draw your eye and reflect the warmth and light of the room.
That was Sally. n
3/9/1940 - 7/31/2024
Until Parkinson’s Disease took over, Doug (or Dougie) Roberts had a wonderful life. His parents, Howard and Madge Roberts, helped him be a typical kid-soap box derby, Cub Scouts, paper route, then as a 13-year-old Sea Explorer Scout making weekend voyages to Catalina and even Santa Barbara learning about the sea.
Doug graduated from Long Beach Wilson High School, Long Beach State College, and the University of Louisville Medical School. Between High School and College, he served his two years in the US Army achieving an honorable discharge in 1961. While in college, he met Karen K. Werth at the church youth group. They married and she taught school to put him through med. school. They returned to California for Doug’s internship at Riverside County Hospital and residency in Surgery, then Anesthesia, at Sacramento Medical Center (which became U.C. Davis Medical School). He came to practice with Anesthesia Associates Medical Group at Goleta Valley Community Hospital for almost 40 years. Doug’s 3 sons; Sam, Josh, and Adam, were very important to him so he was a scout and Indian Guide leader, a
Little League coach, built them a cool swing set, and attended every church and school event.
Later Doug was thrilled to have grandsons, Elijah, Miller, and Jonah and Noah (who died at birth), and attended as many of their events as he could.
In his full life he became a private pilot and flew medical teams to Mexico for eye surgeries, was on several work teams to rebuild black burned-out churches with SBU Methodist Church and B’nai Brith Temple and rehabbed some homes on the Hopi Reservation with SB church men. He was active with the California Society of Anesthesiology and was its president in 2003-2004. He built his dream “cabin” in Pagosa Springs, CO and loved having family and friends there to ski and hike and enjoy the views. He had been a jogger, a biker (biked from SB to Capistrano and on trips in Northern Italy), and then a skier till his late 70s (especially at Wolf Creek near Pagosa), and a long storyteller forever.
He will be missed by Karen, Sam, Josh and Tracy, Adam and Theresa, his 3 grandsons, and his sister, Cheryl Vaillancourt (Jim), and her two daughters Jennifer Zinn (Bill) and Heather Vaillancourt, Sister-in-law Barbara McNair and her Deborah Wheeler (Brannon) and Dan/Red Carter (Justin); his brother-in-law Bill Werth and wife, Cheryl, and their Amber Bonilla (Rodney) and Ryan Werth.
We appreciate the wonderful care for Doug by Carmelo,
Daniel, Pablo, and Hospice nurses and Drs. Fearer and Aijian, and Pastor Ann Conklin.
There will be a gathering in his memory at First Presbyterian Church, 21 E. Constance Ave. on Sunday, Sept. 1 at 3:00. Doug would be happy for you to wear Aloha attire.
Donations in memory of Doug could be to First Presbyterian Church of SB or Direct Relief.
Isabel Moreno
11/19/1929 - 8/17/2024
Our beautiful mother, Isabel Socorro (Jimenez) Moreno, was called to Heaven at the age of 94. Isabel was born in Santa Paula, California on November 19, 1929, and passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on August 17, 2024. Isabel grew up in Aguascalientes, Mexico, and moved to Santa Barbara in 1947 at the age of 18. Isabel worked at the Lemon Packing House in Goleta. She became a stayat-home mom after marrying Elias Arumbula Moreno on August 21, 1948. They had been married 70 years. Together they had eight kids, Peter (deceased 1/26/22), Joey, David, Mario, Linda Spann (deceased 10/23/00), Tony, Patricia and Isabel Venegas.
Isabel raised her large family with so much love and joy. The house was always full of
laughter and kids. Mom played games with us and always danced when a brother would play his sixties music. Being a fantastic cook there were times a neighborhood kid or two would make sure they were at our table at dinner time. With all her kids, an extra mouth to feed was no problem. She would walk us to a nearby beach with watermelon, sandwiches, and drinks in hand so we could swim during hot summer days. Mom took on part-time jobs to help with bills and extras. We were never without and growing up we knew we were loved.
As her family grew Mom’s love spread to her grandchildren. Her greatest joy was spending time with them and seeing them grow into successful individuals. Her wisdom and love influenced their lives in so many ways.
Mom had a green thumb that was magical. She could take a snippet of any plant and make it grow. She enjoyed raising canaries and knitting blankets for the family. She also enjoyed traveling and had visited Egypt, Morocco, Israel, and Mexico. She played bingo at Elks lodge and exercised at St. Vincent’s pool.
Mom will be sorely missed. She gave us unconditional love, strength of spirit, and an unending generosity that could be seen in her care for her family and friends.
Isabel is survived by six of her eight children, twenty-five grandchildren, twenty-five great grandchildren and one
great-great grandchild. She is the last of the Librada and Elias Jimenez family. Our hearts are aching for her.
A funeral mass was held at 11:00AM on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, at the Old Mission Santa Barbara located at 2201 Laguna Street.

Charles Stephan Bargiel (“Chuck”) died peacefully at home July 20, 2024, surrounded by family in Santa Barbara, CA, at the age of 76. Chuck was born on the torridly humid morning of August 20, 1947, in Chicago, IL, to John Stanley Bargiel and Glennie Pauline Counard Bargiel. The youngest of three children, Chuck was raised in Chicago and was baptized and raised in the Roman Catholic tradition. He attended Holy Innocents Grammar School (taught by the Felician Sisters) and Holy Trinity High School (taught by the Brothers of Holy Cross).
Thereafter, Chuck attended the University of Illinois at Chicago, graduating in June 1969 with a bachelor’s degree in English. In September 1971, Chuck entered the John Marshall Law School, where he served as the editor in chief of the law review and from which he was graduated second in his class. For two years, starting in September 1974, Chuck clerked for the Honorable George N. Leighton, first at the Illinois Court of Appeals in Illinois’s First District and then at the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
In January 1970, Chuck
married Isobel McNellis of Seattle, WA, and they moved to Deerfield, IL. While Chuck was clerking in Chicago, two sons were born: Brian David was born in November 1974, and John Patrick was born in February 1976. Chuck and Isobel had visited Santa Barbara, CA, on vacation in 1972 and vowed to make their life there, so they relocated in September 1976.
Chuck took a job as the newest associate at the then law firm of Cavalletto, Webster, Mullen & McCaughey, now Mullen & Henzell.
During his 35-year law career in Santa Barbara, Chuck became known as a gregarious, sharp-witted, and highly capable civil litigator. Both clients and adversaries often became longtime friends and included some of Santa Barbara’s most prominent entrepreneurs, real estate investors, and developers.
Chuck is survived by his brothers Paul Bargiel of Glen Ellyn, IL (Olga), and Thomas Bargiel of St. Charles, IL (Karen), his sons Brian and John, his daughters-in-law Andria and Daniela, and his grandchildren Oliver, Ruby, and Ember.
Chuck lived a long and blessed life, being grateful for every day for the gift that it was. He remained especially grateful to the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, a fellowship he entered into in 1995, remaining sober until the end of his life.
There will be a celebration of Chuck’s life on Saturday, September 28, 2024 at 10:00 am at

Thelma Irene Maitland 9/10/1941 - 8/15/2024
Thelma Irene Maitland, of Santa Barbara, CA, passed away on the morning of Thursday, August 15, 2024, in Baton Rouge, LA. Born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, on September 10, 1941, Thelma shared her birthday with her twin sister, Alice Dondero. From an early age, Thelma was known for her spirited and adventurous nature, often returning from school with torn clothes and a mischievous smile. Her adventurous spirit continued when she moved west to California in 1974 after the birth of her four children. Her professional journey was as diverse as her interests. During a challenging economic period, she ventured
into real estate but soon shifted her focus to nursing. Earning a Psychiatric Technician degree, she dedicated herself to psychiatric care at Camarillo State Hospital before transitioning to child care. In Santa Barbara, she established “The Kangaroo Pouch,” followed by additional facilities serving Santa Barbara County employees. Eventually, she became an outpatient caseworker for the county, fondly known as TK. Retirement did not slow her down. Thelma embraced new adventures with the same enthusiasm she applied to her careers. She managed an Independent Senior Living facility, threw unforgettable Halloween parties, completed a marathon in Ireland, traversed the country by train with her best friend, and taught seniors to navigate the digital age. Her zest for life also included volunteering as a lifeguard, adopting beloved dogs, dancing fiercely at country concerts and parades, and making countless friends.
Thelma was preceded in death by her parents, Frederick and Alberta Clark, and her brothers, Frederick “Mickey” and William “Billy” Clark. She is survived by her twin sister, Alice “Tiny” Dondero; her daughter, Kimberly Kelly; her sons, Brian (Francesca) Kelly, Kevin (Chris) Kelly, and Paul Kelly; and her nine cherished grandchildren, Sarah, Brenna, Meredith, Kara, Patrick, Grace, Kenzel, Jessica, and Joshua. Thelma’s legacy lives on through the countless friends and family she touched throughout her life. Thelma’s
family invites you to honor her memory by supporting your local animal shelter and adopting a pet in need of a loving home—an act that would surely bring a smile to her face. Laurie Bickham 12/20/1956 - 8/19/2024
Santa Maria- On August 19th, 2024, Laurie Ann (Mackie) Bickham passed away peacefully in her home with her husband David Bickham of 40 years by her side. Born on December 20th, 1956, in Los Angeles Ca and raised in Santa Barbara Ca. She spent the second half of her life raising her family in Santa Maria CA. Laurie was known for her devotion to faith, family and friends. Her spirit of hospitality and service touched the lives of many. She was a charismatic soul with a love for singing and was the first to show up and lend a hand or open her doors to those in need. Her brilliance, determination, and generous heart will be remembered dearly.
Laurie is preceded by her parents Robert Mackie and Shirley Mackie. She is survived by her husband: David Bickham. Children: Heather Van Eck (Justin Van Eck) and Kalie Bennett (Zachary Bennett).
Grandchildren: Milla Deniz, Asher Deniz, Riley Bennett, Griffin Van Eck, and Leif Bennett. Siblings: Jan Sidle, Scott Mackie, and Kurt Mackie.
Peripheral neuropathy often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating bal- ance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the to begin to slowly degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow.
As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not receive the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die” they cause you to have bal ance problems, pain, numb- ness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms.
Cancer Moon opens with memoirist
Jenna Tico sitting on the toilet, texting her boyfriend from a bathroom on Lake Havasu, approximately one hour into a three-day bachelorette party she already regrets attending. Reflecting on the bridal party, she writes:
There comes a point where one has to wonder how they have survived this long. The lot of them, bikinied and blitzed out of their minds, are also the most entertaining, honest, and disturbingly well-read women to ever enter a room. They feed children out of their bodies and make six figures at work and have definitely, at least once, changed a tire. But the thing is, when thirtysomethings are finally given a weekend away from their toddlers, they almost immediately become toddlers themselves.
BY ZO Ë SCHIFF E R | PHOTOS BY INGRID B OSTRO M
Tico reports on the women’s habits like Jane Goodall inspecting a wily group of primates. They leave their drinks everywhere! They adore inflatable pool toys! They fall asleep on random surfaces! In the process, she realizes she’s learning more about herself than the women she’s with. It turns out, Tico isn’t the type of person who likes day drinking on Lake Havasu. But she is the type of person who can surrender anyway.
Tico, a ninth-generation Santa Barbaran and community organizer, is the daughter of musician Randy Tico and event planner Robin Sonner. She previously acted as grant writer for four local nonprofits and lead facilitator for Sing It Out at AHA!, an organization that brings socialemotional learning programs to Santa Barbara teens and parents. Her work has appeared in Writer’s Digest, Conscious Connection magazine, and the Manifest-Station. She is also the author of the Santa Barbara Summer Solstice coffee-table book and director of Backbone Storytelling, which hosts live events akin to The Moth. Tico attended Santa Barbara High School, where she participated in theater and choir.
Talk to me about your decision to write a memoir. Where did the idea start? And what made you want to write it now, specifically? The honest answer is that if I could write fiction, I would. No author fully keeps their personal experience out of their writing. But for me, I grew really interested in creative nonfiction and read memoirs that inspired me throughout my twenties. I think that felt like an anchor point in what was otherwise a chaotic time of figuring out who I wanted to be and how I wanted to be in the world.
Hybrid publishing allows authors to get access to traditional distribution methods without having to go through the harrowing process of finding an agent and getting a manuscript accepted from a traditional publishing house.
While She Writes Press is selective in the authors it chooses to work with (just 40 percent of submissions are put on a publishing track), authors are asked to pay a $10,000 fee to cover proofreading, distribution, and more. Some back-of-the-napkin math suggests authors would need to sell a whopping 3,000 print copies to make back their advance.
“I try to be straightforward with authors that if they have to make back their investment or they’re putting themselves in a bad spot, she shouldn’t do it,” said Brooke Warner, one of the founders of She Writes Press. n
Cancer Moon, Tico’s first fulllength memoir, is a collection of essays and poems. It follows the author as she navigates her twenties through doomed relationships with famous men to hilarious dalliances with spiritual F-boys. Ultimately, she arrives in her thirties wiser and more self-assured, a soon-to-be mother navigating a fresh set of joys and challenges.
Cancer Moon will be published by She Writes Press, a hybrid publishing house, on September 17. Tico is hosting a kickoff party at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club on September 19.
I spoke to Tico last month about her book, the writing process, and what she’s learned from working with a hybrid publisher. This interview has been edited for clarity and length.
I chose to write this memoir in part because I had all these pieces that I’d written over the course of my twenties, and I was curious to see if there was a throughline. I worked with a book coach in town, Yvette Keller, and she helped me get an outside perspective. She gave me the push that I needed.
The “now” part was actually, ironically, becoming a parent, and feeling like I had this huge identity shift at age 30. On the one hand, I have less energy and less time, but then on the other, I have more fire to honor the decade of my twenties and to close the door on that decade, my maiden years, and all that they represented.
There’s a bias that if someone is going to write a memoir in their early thirties, they need to have lived through something truly extraordinary. But there’s also real value in elevating the everyday experiences of women, and giving them the gravitas and respect of a book-length treatment. [Laughs.] “Gravitas” isn’t the word that I would use to describe what that time really felt like, but I know that one of my main impulses when I started to put the book together was looking at the “why.” And one of the whys was that when I was in my twenties, I felt there was a serious lack of books that were messy and honest, that weren’t a triumph of the human spirit, that weren’t “and then I climbed Everest, and then everything worked out
for me, and I met the love of my life, and I’ve never had a bad day since.” I am really just doing this for the me that needed this book in my twenties and trusting that there will be somebody else who feels the same way.
What made you want to revisit your twenties specifically? One of the main reasons is that I went into my twenties with this myth of it being the best time. That’s why the subtitle is “How I Survived the Best Years of my Life,” because especially in America, it’s like, “Youth! Glory! Power! Ability! Chaos! Fucking!” And I just never really felt that way. But I wanted to write about it to reframe it in a way, like, what if it’s not the best time of your life? In fact, for a lot of people, it’s a really tumultuous time, and that’s okay. That’s actually important.
The narrative arc of the book is about the experience of denying your humanity and then learning to come into yourself, if not completely, then certainly more fully. But the journey feels unfinished in a way. Can you talk about that a bit? Yeah, I think that you nailed it. The book isn’t linear, which felt important to me, because it wasn’t linear when I lived it. It was a journey, and I’m still on it. It’s not like, “I’m cooked now; I’m fully formed.” But I know more about myself and I certainly feel more loving and celebratory toward the parts of myself that I was trying to suppress in my twenties. It’s the part of me that feels everything and gets really excitable, and really sad, and really emotional. It’s a part of me that baffled my parents when I was a child.
I also had some formative relationships where the person I was with, instead of owning that they themselves were insecure, projected onto me that I was too much. I was the reason for their discomfort, and I internalized that and tried to contain it in ways that were very painful and at times damaging to my sense of self.
And over the course of my twenties I, piece by piece, started to be like, “What if I can’t get rid of this part of myself because it’s part of me? What does it look like to actually embrace it?” And ironically, in embracing it, I was able to be more mindful of it, contain it more when I needed to, to be more discerning about how I use my emotionality. In some ways, the arc is really just that me learning to own my own weird.
You mention in the beginning of the book that you’ve changed the names of some of the people involved. But you’re still writing about real people. How did you handle that? That is a really puzzling question to me still how to write about people who are still alive. I don’t think there’s one way to do it. I did what I felt was most in integrity for me, which is that I contacted some of the people who are in the book. And I really tried not to have it be a gleaming arrow at anybody, although the people who know me well will know who I’m talking about. Some of the people I wrote about will think all of it is about them, even though it’s not, and others will miss things that were about them, and others won’t even read it.
How did you decide to publish with She Writes Press? Yvette [Keller] is the one who told me about She Writes Press. I had no idea that there was anything between self-publishing and shopping it around to traditional publishers. I submitted 50 pages of the book, and it was greenlit in June of 2022. It felt like a strong yes all along because I knew that they were selective, and I felt really supported by their initial feedback. I felt like, “Oh, these are people who get this, and they see something about it that is different, and they’re down.” Which not everybody would’ve been.
She Writes Press requires authors to pay a $10,000 investment up front and then there are fees for publicity and printing on top of that. Did you have any idea what the total would be when you started out? Oh my God, I went in very naïve about all the costs associated with publishing a book, regardless of whether you go traditional, hybrid, or self-publish. I was just like, “Oh, it certainly can’t be that much.” Wrong. Wrong. But the way I think about it is, I’m kind of investing in a degree, almost like a master’s degree in publishing, as a woman, in an industry that has been traditionally and historically very skewed.
The amazing thing about She Writes Press is you’re not alone; you have this cohort of other authors whose books were accepted at the same time as yours. So, I have 50 women who I can talk to every week and bounce ideas off of, and ask them questions, and they ask me questions, and we support each other. It’s like “Hey, is it just me, or is this crazy expensive? How are you figuring this out working full-time? How are you?”
So yeah, the costs have been shocking. I’m hoping to break even at some point through book sales, but I also knew going into it that I was investing in myself, and that required breaking an idea that I didn’t realize I had, which was that some benefactor was going to come out of the sky and pay for me to make art.
I had four different conversations with the significant exes who are in the book, and they all went completely differently. It was fascinating to me. Everything ranging from being left on read, to a corrective conversation that actually was healing, to aggressive gaslighting, to a wonderful sushi dinner where I was supported fully in pursuing what I’m doing.
There is actually something to be said for being a woman and stating, “This is what I want. I’m going to go for it. I’m going to make it happen. I’m going to spend my money on this project that I earned, that I worked hard for, and I’m going to decide that my art is worth it.” And also, I’ll get the right credit card so I can
pay this off over time, which is exactly what my husband and I decided we had to do. And he’s been on board and he’s been supportive. It does feel like community is perhaps an underappreciated aspect of hybrid publishing. I published my book with a traditional publisher, and there was definitely no sense of camaraderie in the process it was just me alone writing the book. Totally, and you know me that’s something that’s really integral to how I function and how I tick. To be in a cohort with women who are decades older than me, who have this kind of wisdom, some of whom have done self-publishing, hybrid, and traditional publishing, and they can bring that to the equation. I feel like I’ve been in an academic environment, learning from my peers.
Do you need something to happen in terms of the book’s success, post-publication, to feel like it’s all been worth it? Yes, I need to be in the Santa Barbara Independent. [Laughs.] On a soul level, it’s somebody feeling less alone through reading it. On a professional level, I think just to know that I could complete this marathon, and that I have something tangible in my hand, and that I am really orienting my ship toward life as a writer, and possibly being an author of multiple books.
It also strikes me that for a lot of writers, there’s this feeling of impotence where you’re waiting around for an agent or a publisher to accept you. Your process with She Writes Press feels a lot more active to me, in certain ways. You had agency. That has actually been more significant for me in writing a book about my twenties than I thought. The experience of being in my twenties felt like waiting for someone to choose me, waiting for the right job to come along, waiting for John Cusack to show up outside my window with a boombox, or an agent to scout me at the mall. And the book writing process was the exact opposite. It was like I said, “Oh yeah, this is going to be more expensive than I could ever imagine. This is going to be so much work, and I’m going to go for it, and claim it, and make it happen.”
This question should be illegal, but before we go: What’s next for you? I would really like to write an essay collection about early parenthood.

BY CALLIE FAUSEY
Feeling awkward? Anxious? Stressed? Depressed? Can’t cope?
There’s an app for that.
It is a widely understood phenomenon that we are still wildly resigned to: We have become increasingly dependent on the dopamine machines in our pockets, falling into a vicious cycle of using digital content to escape discomfort.
Even when we try to set limits on screen time, that hourglass reminder on our phones can be banished with the touch of a button. And it’s not the user’s fault these apps are designed to keep you hooked.
Perhaps there is no cure (short of throwing your iPhone off a bridge), but there is a treatment. “Project Reboot,” a boot camp designed to help people ditch their digital pacifiers, is starting with Santa Barbara’s teens.
“Imagine you’re a cow, and your free time is your milk,” said a straight-faced Dawson Kelly.
Kelly is a former San Marcos High School student who, along with his brother, Patrick, “rebooted” his relationship with screens and is now leading the initiative on his own college campus.
Founder Dino Ambrosi started the project two years ago out of the Santa Barbara Mental Wellness Center, aiming to reduce local students’ screen time and encourage them to use social media more mindfully.
“Social media companies are like farmers trying to squeeze as much milk out of you as possible,” Kelly continued. “The apps are designed to be addictive.”
Literally. Scrolling on an app like Instagram is built to replicate the same compulsive feelings as using a slot machine in a casino. It is programmed with content highs and lows, keeping users itching for that “win.”
expected to suck up a whopping 312. That is 26 years, leaving less than two for, well, anything else.
In fact, Netflix’s CEO once admitted that their biggest competitor is sleep. (By the way, based on the same statistics above, screens are winning. Sleep is expected to only take up 288 months).
“Our goal,” Kelly emphasized, “is to take this time back.”
‘I
Part of the reason why scrolling, watching, liking, commenting, posting, etc., is so addictive and time-consuming is because of the “digital pacifier” effect. When we experience an uncomfortable feeling, such as boredom, stress, or anxiety, we turn to this “digital pacifier” to quell those feelings. Ultimately, though, that leads to avoidance, which leads to more discomfort, which leads to more scrolling.
Kelly explained that out of an average 18-year-old’s remaining lifetime as measured in months, 334 of those months are “free time,” according to recent data. He then asked how much of that time I thought would be “screen time.” I aimed high and guessed half.
Out of those 334 months, it turns out, screen time is
From August 5 to 8, the Kelly brothers helped lead the Mental Wellness Center’s three-day reboot camp for Santa Barbara teenagers to change these habits. They went over how to reset and redesign the students’ relationships with technology making it more intentional and less compulsive, addressing the underlying urge to escape, and learning how to confront discomfort.
“It’s easier not to put in work, and it’s easier to get immediate satisfaction from online content, but this showed me that I don’t want to live my life like that,” said Caitlyn Early, a San Marcos High School graduate attending the University of Notre Dame in the fall.
She and the other students looked their screen time in the face, mapped out their current content consumption, and set goals and strategies for logging on and off with intention.
Early added that she and the other boot camp participants are going to make a group chat to hold each other accountable to these goals while they are in college.
“I reflected on how I want to spend my time moving forward,” she said. “My screen time was about four hours, 40 minutes, every day…. I want to find something I’m passionate about to put my time into.”
According to a research study of American teens ages 12-15, those who used social media more than three hours each day faced twice the risk of having negative mental-health outcomes, including depression and anxiety symptoms.
“In the long run, you’ve conditioned yourself to run away from you and turn into your phone,” said Ambrosi, who came up with Project Reboot when he was a student at UC Berkeley, inspired by his own unhealthy relationship with screens.
“I got super addicted; it became my coping mechanism for any discomfort I was feeling,” he said. “It’s this vicious cycle that I really struggled with for a long time, and it didn’t feel like there were resources out there to help me.”
To wean off this digital pacifier, and make tech habits “more intentional,” Ambrosi workshopped a formula:
• Reboot: Separate yourself from social media, specifically with the intent of identifying ways in which you subconsciously turn to it. One of the things that happens to people who delete social media apps off of their phone, Ambrosi explained, is they will catch themselves navigating to the app even though it’s no longer there. “Reboot” is about understanding that habit of hiding in your phone, taking a step away to realize the parts that have not been adding value to your life, and starting to change your perspective on how you use it.
• Rethink: Orient your mindset around technology in a new way. For example, you pay for social media with your time. “It’s not that you shouldn’t use it,” Ambrosi said, “but you should strive to get a good deal out of it.” Another way to think about it is as a diet. You should treat what you consume online with the same respect and thoughtfulness as what you consume nutritionally. Longer-form content, such as movies, which took more time and thought to create, have a higher mental-nutrition value than the 15-second “brain rot” videos you get on TikTok “the fast food of the internet,” Ambrosi said.
• Redesign: Make changes to your environment that strengthen your willpower. “You can’t just solve this problem through will alone, or if you can, you’re a unicorn,” Ambrosi said. Instead of engaging in negative self-dialogue when you struggle to kick the habit on your own, add friction to getting on social media (such as other apps that hold you more accountable than your phone’s passive screen time limits), control and limit your notifications, charge your phone in the other room, or employ other habits to make it easier to be intentional.
• Retrain: Focus your habits. “Deleting Instagram or YouTube for one week isn’t gonna solve the problem, because it’s just a manifestation of a deeper issue, which is our tendency to escape discomfort by seeking distraction,” Ambrosi explained. “It’s just the shortest path to distraction you’ve ever had.” He suggests making the habit of responding to discomfort by seeking satisfaction, as opposed to seeking pleasure. “That means making sure that you spend time learning, moving, thinking, and doing your most important work to give you this armor that makes you less susceptible to falling into rabbit holes and escaping things on your phone,” he said.
Although all ages are susceptible to screen-addiction, Ambrosi wanted to focus on teenagers, “because I think that the impact of changing this for them is going to have the greatest knock on effect.”
Project Reboot began two years ago at the Mental Wellness Center, but after his TEDx talk at Laguna Blanca School last year went viral, Ambrosi has “schools reaching out from all over the world,” he said.
“What started here has cascaded into Project Reboot being something that’s been delivered in six countries to over 15,000 students it’ll be 30,000 by the end of the semester,” he said. His goal, he added, is to empower teens to lead conversations with their peers and inspire a cultural shift.
“The elephant in the room is like, you can ban phones in schools, you can get parents involved to do all these things, but you’re fighting an uphill battle if the students aren’t bought in,” he said.
People want to have these conversations, he explained, but they usually have negative connotations. Oftentimes, parents’ well-intentioned approaches to address their children’s technology usage just reinforces the shame and guilt they already feel and leads to denial and resistance to change.
What Ambrosi found that works well is avoiding conversations that are accusatory, and instead, approaching them with empathy. Because social media is so deeply ingrained in cultural norms, and socially reinforced, changing may feel like a Sisyphean task for teenagers.
“It’s about helping them see that it’s not their fault and they’re not the only ones, defusing that shame, and then giving them reasonable, tangible next steps,” he said.
“We’re not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I still use Instagram every day. So, I think if you approach it in that way, students are actually yearning for this conversation.”

Before Ambrosi made Project Reboot, there would not be a moment in his day where he was just alone with his thoughts, “other than showering,” he said. From the moment he would wake up, he would seek constant stimulus, which was usually scrolling or listening to podcasts. He would spend four to five hours on Instagram per day, and fall asleep watching YouTube. He was chronically sleep-deprived. Now, he has maybe two hours of “non-productive” screen time per day.
“And it still fluctuates like, I’m not perfect at all,” he said. “That’s one thing I always try to tell the kids: Don’t have the expectation that you’re just going to snap your fingers and resolve this indefinitely, because you’re setting yourself up for disappointment when you inevitably have some relapses.”

BARBARA ARTISTS OPEN THEIR DOORS FOR 23RD ANNUAL OPEN STUDIO TOUR
This Labor Day Weekend, Santa Barbara will transform into a living gallery, as artists open their doors to the public for the 23rd annual Santa Barbara Studio Artists (SBSA) Open Studio Tour. From August 30 to September 2, art aficionados will have the unique opportunity to engage directly with Santa Barbara’s star artists and view up close the exceptional works that define the Santa Barbara art scene.
Ticket sales from this year’s SBSA Open Studio Tour will benefit the Grace Fisher Foundation, which is committed to making the arts more accessible to people of all abilities. At the age of 17, Fisher was diagnosed with a rare condition that left her paralyzed from the neck down. During rehab, she became involved with music and art therapy. This was an incredibly formative experience for Fisher, one that renewed her passion for the arts and fomented a desire to make artistic spaces better available to those with disabilities.
The SBSA Open Studio Tour kicks off with a reception on Friday, August 30, at the Community Arts Workshop. This reception will offer attendees an exclusive preview of pieces by various homegrown artists, including an original oil painting by Fisher herself (she paints her colorful creations holding the brush with her teeth). Dozens of other Santa Barbara–based artists will be in attendance, showcasing their own creations and giving guests some good guidance of which studios they will want to visit the next day.
Among those artists present will be the accomplished husband-and-wife duo Stan and Tricia Evenson. Stan and Tricia worked as designers in Los Angeles for years before abruptly moving to Oregon in 2014 to pursue fine art, eventually settling in Santa Barbara in the summer of 2020. Explaining their background as artists, Tricia noted that their paths have crossed in many interesting ways.
Both attended the ArtCenter College of Design. Immediately after graduating, Stan was hired by a former professor to join the creative services department at A&M
Records. He left a few years later to open his own design business, Evenson Design Group (EDG), and over the years has designed more than 100 album covers for musicians such as Tom Petty, Carly Simons, George Harrison, Tina Turner, and many more.
Tricia joined EDG in the late ’80s, where she met Stan. Together, they navigated the hectic world of commercial design until making the joint decision to reinvent their careers, and themselves, in Oregon.
“We were just burnt out, tired of the industry,” Tricia said, “We wanted to move to an area where we didn’t know anybody and reinvent ourselves as fine artists. We’ve been artists at heart forever, but it was always focused in the commercial world.”
Stan and Tricia have long embraced rather distinct artistic styles, a schism that has become more pronounced since they have begun to immerse themselves in personal art projects. Stan describes his art as pop surrealism and very detail-oriented. He likes to combine things that don’t go together, often incorporating lots of humor and vintage references. Heavily influenced by the famous Ralph Goings, who had actually been an instructor at Stan’s high school prior to being discovered, Stan imbues his paintings with bright colors and an intensely lifelike quality.
On the other hand, Tricia’s art oscillates between abstract expressionism and hyper-realistic wildlife paintings. She vividly recalled shaking off the yoke of corporate pressures and leaning into this newfound freedom to express herself without
restraint, saying, “I found this incredible release and joy. Painting became sort of my therapy, helping me release myself from the constraints of being a designer where everything is deadline-driven and geared toward selling something.”
With room to experiment, Tricia was able to uncover new interests and talents within herself. She remembered working with a teacher in Oregon to paint a large-scale raven.
“I realized a skill that I didn’t even know I had, which was to paint realistically in great detail. That set me off on a journey to paint other wildlife images and, for a little while, I was painting animals that were on the extinct list,” Tricia explained. “Even though I can get lost in painting the detail, and I do it quite well, I also really enjoy being loose and spontaneous and not thinking at all. I go back and forth. It’s almost like I’m two different painters.”
“What I do is very different, probably 180 degrees opposite of what Tricia is doing,” Stan interjected, with a chuckle, “I have a lot of fun with wacky, crazy images that require a lot of attention and detail. Tricia will sometimes crank out 20 paintings to my one.”
Tricia nodded, “Some things are very similar but, generally speaking, I tend to be a little bit more emotional about my work. I’m putting in what I’m feeling. And Stan is referencing images and iconography. He is more consciously thinking, even though what he’s putting together is irrational.”
Stan and Tricia will both be exhibiting art at the opening. Hoping to shock audiences, Stan was hesitant to share too many details about his piece. He kept it intriguingly vague, saying, “I think it’ll have people surprised because I’m sure that it will be very different from the other art at the show. It’s satirical and [references] conspiracy theory and has a vintage feel, so you might get thrown back to the ’50s.”
Tricia revealed that her piece will be a large-scale acrylic painting of a two-inch goldfish.
“There’s something so simple yet beautiful about it. It’s kind of a juicy painting. The color just calls you in. I think the absurdity of having something so small and insignificant
be blown up to that scale is fun. And you can really appreciate the ethereal nature of the
fins and scales,” she described.
The other featured artists for 2024 include: Misa Art, who paints on metal, wood, and other materials; Kevin Gleason, who creates plein air landscape paintings in oil, acrylic, and casein; Laurie MacMillan, an abstract oil painter inspired by nature; Joan Rosenberg-Dent, an abstract sculptor working principally in unglazed porcelain; Francis Scorzelli, a contemporary abstract artist who works in oil and mixed media on canvas and paper; and Dorene White, a landscape artist whose plein air and studio oil paintings are inspired by the beauty of California. Additional participating artists include a variety of painters, sculptors, and mixed-media assemblage artists.

I“didn’t retire; I just rewired,” said John Seigel Boettner, who retired from Santa Barbara Middle School and quickly found his next classroom on wheels taking seniors across the community on trishaw rides through town.
Sharing his passion for the outdoors and the wonders of experiencing it through a bike ride quickly grew into the Santa Barbara chapter of Cycling Without Age. Modeled after a program founded in Denmark, the local chapter he founded (his official title is “Cycling Good Fairy”) now has 10 trishaws and 50 volunteer pilots, providing more than 25 rides every week from Goleta to Montecito.
It was actually some Santa Barbara Middle School parents (the school has an outdoor edu cation model, which has biking as a key compo nent) who told Sei gel Boettner about Cycling Without Age. “They said you should check out this dude in Copenhagen who started this program where he takes people who can’t pedal anymore on bike rides. So, I watched his TED Talk [see it at bit.ly/471pm7D] and it was all over. I said, ‘Oh, shoot, here’s my next chapter,’ ” he laughed.
longtime teacher at Vieja Valley), invested in a trishaw, the threewheeled pedal assist vehicles used for rides.
“When I started the program, just me and the trishaw, I had no idea how powerful it was going to be. I had no idea what it was like to pedal a 101-year-old woman around Santa Barbara,” said Seigel Boettner, who grew up on the Westside. “If you’ve ever had a 101-year-old hold your hands and kiss you goodbye. I mean, that was it. I could’ve gone to heaven, right then. … I saw the power of it on what we call our riding partners.”
They are available to serve “anyone who wants to go for a ride,” says Seigel Boettner, especially seeking seniors who don’t have the money to stay in residential facilities.
of Pedal Born Pictures, the film had its world premiere, to much acclaim, at the Danish Film Insti tute in Copenhagen, and U.S. Premiere at the Indy Shorts Inter national Film Festival, where it won the Lens of Hope Award.
The idea is really to help spread the movement even wider, said John Seigel Boettner, who will be part of a panel discussion after the screening of the 27-minute documentary with the filmmak ers, along with leaders in the aging community, moderated by Roman Baratiak.
“Probably the most powerful thing for me is the impact on the community of when we ride through a neighborhood people are rolling down their windows and waving, and we’re waving back, and old people are this bridge to saying hello again that we’ve lost. We don’t do that anymore,” said Seigel Boettner.
“I’ve taken kids home from the hospital and I have taken people to their graves. You know, why not? You know, why not bike from the day one to your first ride to your last one.”
John and his wife, Lynn (a
There are many ways to spread the word about Cycling Without Age, one of which is the new documentary film about the project, which will have its West Coast premiere at the Lobero Theatre on September 7. Produced and directed by Seigel Boettner’s sons, filmmaker brothers Isaac Seigel Boettner and Jacob Seigel Brielle
“Here in Santa Barbara, when we’re riding, we have people pull over in cars who don’t even know us, who want to take our picture. And if that’s what Cycling Without Age can stir up in communities, just that we say hello again and smile and do that, that’s one of the reasons we made this film,” said Seigel Boettner. “[Cycling Without Age] is really not that difficult. It’s really hugely impactful on every neighborhood, for people who are aging, for people who still can pedal, and for people just walking their dog down the street we need that. We’re looking for ways to put America back together again.”
Cycling Without Age was shot on the streets and bike paths of Santa Barbara, with the support of MOVE Santa Barbara County, Heritage House, and Cotopaxi. The screening event takes place at the Lobero Theatre (33 E. Canon Perdido St.) on Sat urday, September 7, at 6 p.m.

Once upon a time, sifting through the news of the day was a relatively simple process. Presenting “just the facts” was considered standard operating procedure for reputable news organizations, and sorting fact from fiction was something that didn’t present much of a challenge for most people.
by Leslie Dinaberg
How things have changed. With our daily assault of information and rapidly changing sources of intel, it’s tough to know what to believe anymore. In response to this information crisis, journalists and media educators Starshine Roshell, Lisa Osborn, and Amy Marie Orozco have banded together to help spread some truth about sorting fact from fiction in this age of rampant misinformation.
I recently caught up with them in advance of their presentation on Moment of Truth: Sorting Fact from Fiction in the Misinformation Age, which takes place on September 5 at TV Santa Barbara’s downtown media hub. While this collaboration is new, made possible by a grant from the Association for Women in Communications (AWC) Advancement Fund and the fiscal sponsorship of the Santa Barbara Foundation, the passion for truth-telling is deeply rooted in these journalists.
Roshell started giving presentations about misinformation right after the January 6, 2021, assault on the United States Capitol by a mob of then-President Donald Trump supporters. “I was watching the television, and it just walloped me that there were so many people who couldn’t separate fact from fiction. They didn’t understand, weren’t able to see for themselves, research for themselves, question for themselves, the lies that were being told to them by the president and certain news organizations, which shall remain nameless,” said Roshell. “And I thought, ‘Oh my God, I have to do something about this. What can I do?’ So, I started looking into organizations that were doing this kind of work, and I signed up to be a newsroom to classroom volunteer with the News Literacy Project [newslit.org]. I’ve
done several presentations through them, and then I’ve done a few on my own to local organizations.”
One of those organizations was KCSB, the radio station at UC Santa Barbara, where Osborn serves as news and public affairs director and does workshops for students and the community on various aspects of journalism and news writing. Another organization Roshell presented to was AWC, which all three are involved with. When she learned that AWC’s national advancement fund was offering grants for communications projects, Osborn sprang into action, first reaching out to Orozco to bounce the idea of a media literacy program.
“To me, the subject matter is very important. I think we’re in dire straits in this country. I said, ‘Let’s go for it.’ We took a walk in Carpinteria, and the ideas just kept rolling,” said Orozco, a longtime Carpinteria resident and former managing editor of the town’s Coastal View News. They ended their walk at Island Brewing Company, where they ran into Jena Jenkins, who runs the AgeWell program for the city. She was so enthused that she agreed to consider the presentation on the spot.
“I felt helpless for so long, and this is definitely a way to help remedy the situation,” said Orozco.
People of all ages and levels of comfort with technology can benefit from the information they have to share, an ever-evolving presentation that offers practical tips and easy advice to help people become savvy, responsible media consumers. Some of the specific skills include learning to spot doctored images, check sources, resist falling for “ragebait” content that spurs you to share it without even verifying and avoid spreading misinformation to other people.
One of the tools they’ll review is the SIFT tool, explained Osborn. “It’s the ‘stop, investigate the source, find better coverage, and then trace it back to its original source.’ And that tool alone, we kind of really drill into that component of it, because that’s a key tool to be able to analyze anything that you’re really reading to better consume it critically.”
She continued, “We do go into AI and some deep fakes with the election. And we’ll cover how manipulated images are being used to influence the upcoming election. We’ve already seen cases of that.”
“We get into the background too,” said Orozco. “How did we get here? In terms of fake news and that sort of thing.”
“This feels like a sort of a new world to people, to a lot of people. But an interesting element of that that I really have been thinking about is the fact that lying is not new, right? People have been lying for millennia, certainly for centuries. People have been lying with the spoken word and probably with the written word,” said Roshell.
“And we’ve all learned to filter what you know, what we hear, and what we read through our common-sense filter, but then, and even more recently, images have been doctored, and we’re all very aware of that. Nobody sees a model on the cover of a magazine and thinks, ‘Wow, her skin is just perfect.’
We all have a filter that we understand that images can be manipulated. So, I think when people start to feel overwhelmed about deepfake videos and things that AI can do, it can be a little scary, right? We’re in this sort of new world. But one of the things we teach in this presentation is that it really is about using those exact same skills that we’ve always used. It’s your common sense, your critical thinking…. We have this amazing, giant tool of the internet, which can feel sort of scary and doom-imposing if you start to think that this is all the internet’s fault. But in fact, that is also our greatest tool in researching some of this information. And there’s so many amazing fact-checking sites out there now, and we share a lot of those at the end of this as well.”
She continued, “Another piece of this presentation is making sure people understand the difference between quality, standards-based journalism versus social media platforms, whose goal is not to inform, right? It’s just to engage and how we all contribute to that.”
There’s also an important mental health component to sorting fact from fiction, particularly for younger people, Osborn said. “So, the more that we can train others to feel more confident in what they’re seeing and hearing, then the more that it can support their well-being and mental health. In my work with students and younger adults, they are more skeptical of everything because they don’t know what to believe, because they grew up with the Internet. So these are solid tools that they can use.”
The TVSB Moment of Truth presentation is a fundraiser for the nonprofit, which works to provide residents with the knowledge, resources, and tools to create their own original programming. Tickets for the event taking place on Thursday, September 5, at 5:30 p.m. at 1219 State Street are $20 and available at bit.ly/4dUHfHJ. The Moment of Truth team members emphasized that they are also available to provide free presentations to organizations. Email learn@momentoftruthtraining.org for more information.

The first sound we hear in the film 9-1-1 Project Harmony is an all-too familiar official phone response, as heard on TV and films and in real life: “This is 9-1-1. What is your emergency?” It is an apt introduction to the theme of emergencies and the heroics and human vulnerability of first responders, who reportedly die from suicide more often than in the line of duty.
More specifically, the film conveys an inspiring new project dealing with the inevitable residue of the trauma that first responders are faced with and have festering in their lives, and a novel use of music and songwriting as a healing force. The half-hour film, directed by Santa Barbara–based music industry veteran Budd Carr, will premiere at the Lobero Theatre on Sunday, September 8. There will also be a live performance of the song “At Ease” by singer Lois Mahalia and songwriter Hannah Griffin, one of the fruits of collaboration between experienced songwriters and experienced first responders with these harrowing tales to tell.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown will serve as a host for the event.
A key participant in the program 9-1-1 Project Harmony is retired Santa Barbara Police Sergeant Mike McGrew, cofounder and CEO of the music project’s host organization, 9-1-1 At Ease International, and also co-songwriter of “At Ease.” As a 31-year veteran, now retired, McGrew knows all too well the pressures of the first responder life, as well as a certain code of silence regarding mental health aftershocks. “There was a stigma that if a first responder reached out for help, that first responder was weak, or couldn’t handle the job,” he said. “This culture and the barriers to find help led the first responder industry to having a high suicide rate, divorce rate, and several negative coping mechanisms as they attempted to deal with the layered trauma that resulted in serving their community.
“I lost a few friends and co-workers at both the Santa Barbara Police Department and Fire Department to suicide and alcoholism. These people were very courageous and selfless servants who gave our community their all.”
After founding the now-nationwide 9-1-1 At Ease International with Michael Hammer of the Armand Hammer Foundation, the idea of a music therapy component emerged. McGrew explains that 9-1-1 Project Harmony “was initially created to pair first responders with songwriters to bring healing to the layered trauma they have endured through the songwriting process. Music therapy has existed for thousands of years and has been a way to honor warriors in many different cultures. Scientific discoveries of the benefits of music therapy were unveiled during World War I and continue to be used by the military today.”
In the film, mixed by Sean Holcomb and skillfully edited by Ethan Boehme, testimonials with long-time first responders are juxtaposed with the on-site experience of a retreat in which emergency workers work with songwriters to create and record a song within a 12-hour period.
As officer Ken Wolfe says, “I’m not necessarily musical, so I never thought of the two worlds colliding and how therapeutic it could be…. The biggest thing for me is for people to see that law enforcement are not superheroes. We are people, too.”
He later touches on the fragile and violent on-thejob realities he has faced, saying, “One minute, you’re eating lunch, and then you get a call, and it may be a domestic situation with shots fired, or somebody’s been murdered.” Wolfe’s song, realized by songwriter Joseph Pfeifer, is “Behind That Badge.”
Ruby Wolff, who worked with crimes against children, had suicidal thoughts as a result of the work. On the job, she said, “You don’t cry. Here [in the songwriting program], I was showing absolute weakness.” Her song, with Scott Dorman, is “Never Forsaken,” its title borrowed from a Biblical passage that gave her hope.
“We now have a film that opens the eyes of our community to who our first responders are and their true servant hearts,” McGrew comments. “The film displays the emotions associated with first responder trauma. The power of songwriting and music in healing trauma, and the creative process of writing a song, which most people will never see, is demonstrated.”
In terms of his own experience with the project and subsequent film component, McGrew asserts, “This process was definitely more satisfying, cathartic, and powerful than I could have ever imagined from the onset.
“To watch the healing received by the first responders was extremely satisfying. To hear the songs created and the messaging behind the songs was inspirational. To see the support of the people who have come around this project has touched me deeply. To participate in the process was one of the most powerful things that I have experienced. I was delivered in my song and continue to be healed every time I listen to it.” 9-1-1 At Ease International presents 9-1-1 Project Harmony on Sunday, September 8, 5:30 p.m. at the Lobero Theatre (33 E.

It’s not every day you get to make jokes about cooping with the creator of an immersive evening of entertainment that’s coming to Santa Barbara September 12-14. Then again, it’s also unusual to discuss the beloved 19th-century writer with someone who has studied him enough to put together a touring show called the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy. Fortunately, creative director Julia Tirinnanzi can promise that even with four spookily themed cocktails served up in 90 minutes or so, “There’s no cooping allowed.”
(For the 93 percent of the planet that has no idea what
that’s referring to, one rumor about Poe’s still-mysterious death is that Baltimore ward workers marched him around from polling location to polling location, changing his outfit and keeping him drunk, causing his demise on election night 1849. This old-time political machine gambit was known as “cooping.”)
Instead of dying in a drunken surfeit of democracy, attendees of the Poe Speakeasy will enter the fully set-designed space (in Santa Barbara, the Funk Zone’s Narrative Loft) and step into a macabre world where costumed actors/mixologists will present four of Poe’s most beloved stories/poems “The Black Cat,” “The Raven,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” and “The Masque of the Red Death.”
“It’s an intimate experience,” Tirinnanzi insists. “It’s up-close and personal the guests get to see the facial expressions of our actors in close proximity.” The show is also emceed by a Poe-storian (her term), who provides historical background and some comic relief.
Each of the stories is paired with a thematic cocktail, including the likes of the suitably sanguine Cocktail of Red Death, featuring 100-proof vodka, cherry Heering, Benedictine, lime and pineapple juice, and bitters.
Most of the cocktails were inspired by the stories, but Tirinnanzi also points out her team “had to do a brandy milk punch, as we wanted to pay homage to Poe’s own preferences.”
She goes on to say, “Poe loved his libations, per-
haps too much. …” Fortunately, the drinks offered are in slightly smaller pours to keep the audience from toppling over by evening’s end there are even non-alcoholic options.
Tirinnanzi’s company, Midnight Creative, runs a host of immersive-environment themed cocktail shows that tour the country others are the Shipwreck Saloon (think pirates) and the Haunted Tavern (think Ichabod Crane).
“Poe lived in the back of my mind since I was young,” she explains of the show that was “her brainchild.” She admits to being overjoyed that there is “this much of a diehard fan base 150 years after the fact.” So much so that a Poe Returns Speakeasy is in the works with four more of the master’s Gothic favorites. (I’m rooting for “The Cask of Amontillado,” just hoping I don’t have to get bricked up in a cellar for it.)
Also note the Speakeasy will pull into town in time for a Friday the 13th event. “No doubt the team will do something extra-special for that,” Tirinnanzi says. “It’s a perfect time to go.” And by that, I’m pretty sure she means attend and not pass away.
The Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy takes place September 12-14 at the Narrative Loft (1 N. Calle Cesar Chavez, #240). For information and tickets, see edgarallanpoebar.com.
Reader Harley H. tells me that Etty’s Jewish Deli & Bakery has opened inside the Jewish Federation building at 524 Chapala Street. “We can’t wait to welcome you to our kosher-style deli in downtown Santa Barbara!” says the eatery. “Due to permitting and security protocols, you will need to become a member and make reservations before visiting the deli. There is no cost for membership. Call to become a member and reserve your spot.”
The breakfast menu includes challah French toast ($12.50), toasted bagels ($4.50), lox bagel plate ($16.50), shakshuka ($12.50), pastrami or corned beef egg scramble ($16.50), and latke plate ($12.50). Classic Mains (served with pickle and choice of Israeli salad, potato salad, or coleslaw) include Colman corned beef sandwich ($11), hot pastrami sandwich ($11), Stormin’ Norman ($11), Bern Dog with Sissykraut ($10.50), hummus plate ($10), falafel pita ($13), and salad trio ($12.50)

EL CHISME CRÊPES OPENS: While wandering downtown recently I discovered that “El Chisme Crêpes & More” opened in Paseo Nuevo, in the former home of Santa Barbara Sweets. The owners of Santa Barbara Sweets also operate El Chisme and used to run Elena’s Kitchen on State Street. In addition to crêpes, they sell coffee, juice, and smoothies. The business is open daily, 7 a.m.-9 p.m.
ARNOLDI’S REOPENS: Last May, reader Primetime told me that one of the oldest restaurants in Santa Barbara, Arnoldi’s Café at 600 Olive Street, which was founded by Giuseppe and Ilda Arnold in 1937, has closed after the death of co-owner David Peri. I was also told that the closure might be temporary. I am now happy to report that reader Jeanette Arnoldi says “Arnoldi’s Café has reopened under ‘New Business Owner’ Sara Skrinski.” They are back to normal operating business hours seven days a week, 5-9 p.m., and also will be open every Sunday at 10 a.m. for NFL football season with fun eats and drinks.

PALACE GRILL TO REMAIN OPEN THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS: In July, I broke the very sad news that the Palace Grill at 8 East Cota Street would be closing on September 8, 2024. The family behind the iconic eatery now tells me that the restaurant will continue operating through the holidays. “It’s difficult finding the words to express our amazement and gratitude for the show of support from our incredible guests,” say owners Sandy and Michael DeRousse. “You know who you are because you have been to the Palace since our notice of potential closure, and have seen the excitement and celebration filling the Palace every night! Given this endorsement, it just doesn’t seem right to close on September 8, but rather continue operations long enough to be there for our guests through the holiday season. As one might expect, our incredible team has been stretched to the max, but they persevere. Staff, suppliers, magicians, musicians have all stepped up and pledge to continue. These days there is no shortage of restaurant closures, but a resurrection is simply unheard of truly ‘A Wonderful World.’”
PUEBLO POLLO CLOSES: Pueblo Pollo, that relocated from upper State Street to 6578 Trigo Road in Isla Vista last November, has closed. The former tenant list at that high-turnover address includes Pueblo Pollo, Checo’s Mexican restaurant, Mojo, 805 Kabob, Lovin Oven Mediterranean Bakery & Café, Cafe Int’L, Fresh Wok, and more.
BIG BOSS BURGERS OPENS: Reader Roger P. let me know that, during the afternoons, Patio Café at 3007 De la Vina Street now becomes “Big Boss Burgers” from 4 to 10:30 p.m. daily. Roger P. writes, “I think it just opened a week ago. It was absolutely the best burger I have ever had. … What I see is a very cool thing. There is sort of a corridor of really good food happening on this stretch of De la Vina. From Chicken Ranch to Mayo’s to Los Agaves. It’s an interesting stretch of choices — even throw Chubby’s in there. Caters to San Roque and Samarkand. The Patio does a great chili verde and eggs.”

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Although there are more than 7,000 varieties of apples, your grocery store probably offers no more than 15. But you shouldn’t feel deprived. Having 15 alternatives is magnificent. In fact, most of us do better in dealing with a modicum of choices rather than an extravagant abundance. This is true not just about apples but also about most things. I mention this, Aries, because now is an excellent time to pare down your options in regard to all your resources and influences. You will function best if you’re not overwhelmed with possibilities. You will thrive as you experiment with the principle that less is more.
(Apr. 20-May 20): Taurus comedian Jerry Seinfeld, now 70 years old, has testified, “As a child, the only clear thought I had was ‘get candy.’ ” I encourage you to be equally singleminded in the near future, Taurus. Not necessarily about candy but about goodies that appeal to your inner child as well as your inner teenager and inner adult. You are authorized by cosmic forces to go in quest of experiences that tickle your bliss.
(May 21-June 20): I’m not saying I would refuse to hire a Gemini person to housesit while I’m on vacation. You folks probably wouldn’t let my houseplants die, allow raccoons to sneak in and steal food, or leave piles of unwashed dishes in the sink. On the other hand, I’m not entirely confident you would take impeccable care of my home in every little way. But wait! Everything I just said does not apply to you now. My analysis of the omens suggests you will have a high aptitude for the domestic arts in the coming weeks. You will be more likely than usual to take good care of my home and your own home, too. It’s a good time to redecorate and freshen up the vibe.
(June 21-July 22): These days, you are even smarter and more perceptive than usual. The deep intelligence of your higher self is pouring into your conscious awareness with extra intensity. That’s a good thing, right? Yes, mostly. But there may be a downside: You could be hyper-aware of people whose thinking is mediocre and whose discernment is substandard. That could be frustrating, though it also puts you in a good position to correct mistakes those people make. As you wield the healing power of your wisdom, heed these words from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: “Misunderstandings and lethargy produce more wrong in the world than deceit and malice do.”
(July 23-Aug. 22): Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had an older sister, born under the sign of Leo. Her nickname was Nannerl. During their childhoods, she was as much a musical prodigy as he. Supervised by their father, they toured Europe performing together, playing harpsichord and piano. Nannerl periodically got top billing, and some critics regarded her as the superior talent. But misfortune struck when her parents decided it was unseemly for her, as a woman, to continue her development as a genius. She was forcibly retired so she could learn the arts of housekeeping and prepare for marriage and children. Your assignment in the coming months, Leo, is to rebel against any influence that tempts you to tamp down your gifts and specialties. Assert your sovereignty. Identify what you do best, and do it more and better than you ever have before.
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When an infant giraffe leaves its mother’s womb, it falls six feet to the ground. I suspect that when you are reborn sometime soon, Virgo, a milder and more genial jolt will occur. It may even be quite rousing and inspirational not rudely bumpy at all. By the way, the plunge of the baby giraffe snaps its umbilical cord and stimulates the creature to take its initial breaths getting it ready to begin its life journey. I suspect your genial jolt will bring comparable benefits.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Many people living in the Napo province of Ecuador enjoy eating a dish called ukuy, which is a Kichwa word for “large ants.” This is not an exotic meal for them. They may cook the ukuy or simply eat the creatures alive. If you travel to Napo anytime soon, Libra, I urge you to sample the ukuy. According to my reading of the astrological omens, such an experiment is in alignment with the kinds of experiences you Libras should be seeking: outside your usual habits, beyond your typical expectations, and in amused rebellion against your customary way of doing things.
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The theory of karma suggests that all our actions, good and bad and in-between, send ripples out into the world. These ripples eventually circle back to us, ensuring we experience events that mirror our original actions. If we lie and cheat, we will be lied to and cheated on. If we give generously and speak kindly about other people, we will be the recipient of generosity and kind words. I bring this up, Scorpio, because I believe you will soon harvest a slew of good karma that you have set in motion through your generosity and kindness. It may sometimes seem as if you’re getting more benevolence than you deserve, but in my estimation, it’s all well-earned.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I encourage you to buy yourself fun presents that give you a feisty boost. Why? Because I want you to bring an innovative, starting-fresh spirit into the ripening projects you are working on. Your attitude and approach could become too serious unless you infuse them with the spunky energy of an excitable kid. Gift suggestions: new music that makes you feel wild; new jewelry or clothes that make you feel daring; new tools that raise your confidence; and new information that stirs your creativity.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): On a Tuesday in August in 2012 one full Jupiter cycle ago a Capricorn friend of mine called in sick to his job as a marketing specialist. He never returned. Instead, after enjoying a week off to relax, he began working to become a dance instructor. After six months, he was teaching novice students. Three years later, he was proficient enough to teach advanced students, and five years later, he was an expert. I am not advising you, Capricorn, to quit your job and launch your own quixotic quest for supremely gratifying work. But if you were ever going to start taking small steps toward that goal, now would be a good time. It’s also a favorable phase to improve the way your current job works for you.
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Three years ago, an Indonesian man celebrated his marriage to a rice cooker, which is a kitchen accessory. Khoirul Anam wore his finest clothes while his new spouse donned a white veil. In photos posted on social media, the happy couple are shown hugging and kissing. Now might also be a favorable time for you to wed your fortunes more closely with a valuable resource though there’s no need to perform literal nuptials. What material thing helps bring out the best in you? If there is no such thing, now would be a good time to get it.
Sustainable Heart
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): For many years, I didn’t earn enough money to pay taxes. I was indigent. Fortunately, social programs provided me with food and some medical care. In recent years, though, I have had a better cash flow. I regularly send the U.S. government a share of my income. I wish they would spend all my tax contributions to help people in need. Alas, just 42 percent of my taxes pay for acts of kindness to my fellow humans, while 24 percent goes to funding the biggest military machine on earth. Maybe someday, there will be an option to allocate my tax donations exactly as I want. In this spirit, Pisces, I invite you to take inventory of the gifts and blessings you dole out. Now is a good time to correct any dubious priorities. Take steps to ensure that your generosity is going where it’s most needed and appreciated. What kind of giving makes you feel best?

If adopted, the Ordinance will be effective 31 days from the date of adoption. Enforcement of new speed limits will begin once the Ordinance is in effect and appropriate signs are posted.
Any interested person may obtain a copy of the proposed ordinance at the City Clerk’s Office, cityclerkgroup@cityofgoleta.org or by calling City Hall at (805) 961-7505.

PATRICIO S. INCE’, VICE PRESIDENT
CALIFORNIA TD SPECIALIST IS A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. “NOTICE TO POTENTIAL
BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien,
not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid on a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of the outstanding lien that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgage, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 844‑477‑7869, or visit this internet Web site www.stoxposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 87208. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to
verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.”
For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (844) 477‑7869, or visit this internet website www.STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 87208 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written
notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid; by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code; so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
