Fire Alert Levels High

S.B. County Fire’s Daniel Pritchett

With triple-digit temperatures and sundowner winds gusting at 40 miles an hour, the National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning for Santa Barbara County this week, a full Red Flag alert. Firefighting agencies have deployed additional helicopters, dozers, crews, and air tankers to attack any flames that might pop up, but experts express concern that the dramatically low moisture level of backcountry vegetation will make such fires extremely hard to put out. According to Forest Service spokesperson Andrew Madsen, plant moisture levels have dipped to 57 percent; the 10-year average for this time of year is 60 percent. That’s also the tipping point below which brush becomes extremely volatile, and, said Madsen, “resistant to fire control efforts.” To the extent there’s good news, it’s that the drought has kept backcountry vegetation from growing much in the past three years. The bad news is there are far more dead trees, shrubs, and vegetation because of the drought. Thus far this year, the number of reported fires has been lower than average, — Nick Welsh and they’ve been put out quickly.

News of the Week

Retired firefighter Robert Perez (pictured) will repay the Santa Barbara County firefighters union the approximately $112,000 he siphoned from the insurance account during his tenure as that account’s manager. A 20-year fire veteran, Perez had used the insurance account to buy items such as jewelry and a new house. Union president Adam Estabrook, who testified at the trial, said, “As firefighters, we hold ourselves to a higher moral and ethical standard. That we’re here in the first place is sad.” Perez will now begin serving three years in state prison for seven felony grand theft and tax evasion charges. A 50-year-old man walking north on the train tracks near the zoo was hit and killed by a southbound train on Tuesday night, according to Santa Barbara Police Sgt. Riley Harwood. The man — whose name isn’t being released by the Coroner’s Office until his family is notified — is known to be an area homeless person, Harwood added. Authorities received a call around 6:31 p.m., Harwood said, noting that the train’s engineer tried to brake and sounded the horn but that the man didn’t stop walking toward the train. The death is being investigated as a suicide. Following a lengthy investigation by the California Highway Patrol, Kimberly Kreis, 52, was charged with felony and misdemeanor counts of possession and driving under the influence in a crash that killed three people. In April, Kreis struck a car in the middle of the highway, where it had come to rest after hitting a guardrail and flipping over, apparently because the driver had fallen asleep. Though Kreis may have caused the deaths, CHP determined that even a sober person might have done the same. Kreis faces a maximum sentence of three years in state prison; the arraignment is 10/8. Judge Thomas Anderle is allowing musician Angel Tolentino to proceed with his lawsuit against the City of Santa Barbara for injuries he sustained a year ago while riding his bicycle along the 300 block of East Gutierrez Street, well known for its jagged and uneven paving. Tolentino and his attorney Moises Vasquez contend City Hall is negligent in not addressing the tree roots that cause the street pavement to buckle. City attorneys argued that the case should be thrown out because the city cannot be held liable for general negligence, but only instances in which that negligence is spelled out specifically in state law. Settlement hearings are scheduled for next week.

The world’s first solar-powered “family car” (pictured), created by Dutch students from Eindhoven University of Technology, stopped in Santa Barbara on 9/15. “We’re just here to show the car and to inspire people,” said Lex Hoefsloot, of Solar Team Eindhoven. “It’s possible to make a [solar-powered family] car today. It’s not a future thing.” The vehicle can reach speeds of 75 mph and travel about 500 miles on a sunny day. At last year’s World Solar Challenge in Australia, the team presented the world’s first — and only — four-seat solar-powered vehicle that is “energypositive,” meaning it generates more energy than it uses. cont’d page 13

Energy Co. Records Seized

Last week, the Ventura County District Attorney sent police squads to seize records from two sites run by Anterra Energy Services, which operates the only commercial injection wells in Ventura County legally allowed to dispose of fluids generated by oil production. Senior Deputy DA Christopher Harman said the company is the target of a criminal investigation but would not discuss the reason why. “I can confirm the search warrant,” he said. “I can’t comment on what the investigation is about.” Anterra attorney Jim Prosser said the company is cooperating with Ventura authorities and indicated the spotlight appeared to be on actions by a previous management team, but he would not discuss details. “The investigation by the district attorney appears to be focused on a period around July 2013 when we were under prior management,” he said. “We are cooperating as requested, and brought out our IT professionals to assist in providing information.” The company has two injection wells on a site located on unincorporated land near Oxnard. Since 2010, according to records from the California Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources, at its main well the company injected 2,195,364 barrels of oil-fieldrelated fluids at a depth of approximately 5,000 feet. The company is allowed to take two tanker trucks an hour for injection, but in the past three years, it has far exceeded its permitted limits of about 60,000 barrels a month, said Brian Baca, who manages commercial permitting for the county. In a notice of violation to the company dated June 25, 2014, Baca charged, “Anterra Energy has violated the truck delivery limits [in the permit] for every month from November 2013 through March of 2014.” A “notice of noncompliance” has been recorded on the property, prohibiting the sale or refinancing of the facility, and the county has threatened the company with fines of more than $1,000 a day. Yet Baca said that to his knowledge, the criminal investigation of Anterra is not related to the dispute over the permit. “The district attorney has not requested any information, and I have not participated in any communications on this with his office,” he said. “Our issue is the permit violation, and I don’t know of any linkage between the criminal investigation and our permit.” Carmen Ramirez, mayor pro tem of the nearby city of Oxnard, expressed her frustration: “I don’t understand why we have an injection well in the middle of the Oxnard Plain,” she said. “We rely on groundwater for our homes and for our agriculture, and this is where we grow food for so much of the country. To be pumping unknown and potentially caustic substances into the ground here — I don’t know why we are so reckless.” Anterra has appealed the notice of violation, and the matter will be heard before a — Kit Stolz county planning board on October 23.

City Settles Excessive-Force Cases Pays Out $170,000 for Violent Arrests of Denunzio and Cotledge

tors, and overzealous policing. Marcie Mendoza gave the example of a family member given a $20,000 bail for stealing a beer while activists stated a man who threw a Molotov cocktail at Isla Vista’s police station was released without bail. Political activist Brandon Morse added that the paltry pay for jurors meant working-class people, who are also often of color, are unable to sit on juries; defendants may not be getting a hearing by their peers. He is calling for an independent police oversight committee with subpoena power.

Violent crimes, year to date, are down for the third year in a row within Santa Barbara city limits, as are property crimes. “The trend is our friend right now,” Assistant Police Chief Frank Mannix told the City Council this week. Aggravated assaults are up, but only — he said — at a rate of two more a month. City police report their efforts to root out “young urban travelers” from downtown by adopting a “maximum enforcement posture” paid dividends. City cops patrolled State Street more aggressively and placed dividers on city park benches. In addition, the police targeted skateboarding, an activity illegal on public streets and on sidewalks within the downtown corridor bordered by Chapala, Sola, Santa Barbara, and Cabrillo streets. Thus far, 23 citations have been issued.

BY N I C K W E L S H y any reckoning, 2011 was a very rough year for Santa Barbara Police Officer Aaron Tudor, a strapping, muscular cop then in his fourth year on the force. It was arguably rougher, however, for two defendants whom Tudor would conclude had resisted arrest in separate incidents. By the time Tudor subdued Tony Denunzio — a 53-year-old with a checkered record — Denuzio would be tased 13 times and sustain three broken ribs and a broken nose. That was in October 2011. One month later, Tudor would break the arm of 19-year-old Britteny Cotledge as he detained her. The snapping sound of Cotledge’s arm can be heard clearly over the background thrum in the video footage caught by Tudor’s patrol car camera. Tudor would contend she broke her own arm by squirming and resisting. Another officer on the scene reportedly threw up upon hearing the snap and was ministered to by emergency response technicians. Tudor found himself in hot water again the next month, this time for calling up a young woman he’d recently arrested for driving under the influence to see if she’d like to hang out. The woman, it turned out, attended the same church as Tudor. Of the three incidents, only the latter would violate departmental protocol. Tudor remains with the force. This past Tuesday, Tudor’s very long 2011 came to a close as the Santa Barbara City Council agreed to settle with Denunzio — who filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit against City Hall and the Police Department — for $120,000. The council also agreed to pay Cotledge $50,000 to make her civil-rights lawsuit go away, too. In addition, the private insurance company representing Lessor Michael, the phlebotomist hired to draw blood from inmates at County Jail, agreed to pay Denunzio $25,000. Denunzio’s attorneys Tom Beck and Darryl Genis charged that Michael violently extracted blood from Denunzio without using a disinfected needle. At the time, they charged, Denunzio was pinned face first to a filthy, vomit-specked floor by city cops. The settlement authorization took place during closed-door deliberations at the end of last Tuesday’s City Council meeting. Because no final document has yet been signed, City Attorney Ariel Calonne said he could not comment on the case, but he stated that his heart goes out to all the officers whose “unfortunate lot” includes dealing with inebriated citizens. Around City Hall, the settlement is seen more as a calculated business decision than any admission of wrongdoing by Tudor or by the department. In both instances, Police Chief Cam Sanchez defended Tudor’s actions. Even so, some councilmembers have expressed concern about the degree of force used to subdue Denunzio and Cotledge. Most, however, remain convinced Tudor used an amount of force required by the circumstances.

SETTLED: City Hall settled two excessiveforce cases involving Officer Aaron Tudor for $170,000.

One of the key threats posed by civil-rights claims, as Calonne explained it, is attorneys’ fees. Under federal rules, the prevailing party can claim fees up to $750 an hour. Those costs would easily hit six figures. On the flip side, the concern is that by settling, City Hall might be inviting future lawsuits. In the past, City Hall took a more aggressively defensive posture, rebuffing cost-effective settlements even at the risk of big-ticket losses. By contrast, Calonne — now in his first year at his post — has been more pragmatic. The Denunzio settlement comes only a few months after Genis had exclaimed the case could be worth “millions and millions.” But it turns out that Genis — whose inflammatory comments and confrontational tactics have gotten him in chronic hot water with area judges, prosecutors, and the California State Bar, which is currently seeking to suspend his license — is also practical. “My client is not necessarily the most sympathetic plaintiff,” he conceded.“A lot of people say he had it coming.” Genis compared Denunzio unfavorably to Jerry Cox, a 54-year-old homeless veteran with whom City Hall just settled an incident involving a tasing on upper De la Vina Street. “Certainly you would say a homeless veteran is a lot more sympathetic than my client,” Genis reckoned.“So why is it that I managed to get five times as big a settlement?” Answering his own question, Genis said, with evident satisfaction, “Good lawyering.” Beck added that the federal judge in the Denunzio case regarded the dispute as “a trivial matter” and did not give the plaintiff ’s attorneys enough time to investigate the case and depose witnesses. “We had a very truncated discovery process,” Beck said, describing “the total asskicking” Denunzio endured at Tudor’s hands as a felonious assault. On October 21, 2011, Denunzio was pulled over in the Gelson’s parkcont’d page 16

Pini Sues Carpinteria

Over the last 25 years, Dario Pini has been sued countless times by South Coast government agencies for health and safety violations, but in a major role reversal, the high-profile landlord is now taking the City of Carpinteria to court, accusing city administrators of gouging him on administrative fees. This Tuesday, the Carpinteria City Council met for hours in closed session to discuss if and how the suit could be settled. No announcement was made after the meeting. In the past year, city administrators have imposed $32,000 in fines against Pini, stemming from long-running cat-and-mouse enforcement actions involving four rental properties and a residential hotel that Pini owns not far from Carpinteria’s City Hall. In addition to the fines — for not making repairs in a timely fashion — the city socked Pini with another $26,000 in “administrative fees” to cover the time spent by two city inspectors and the city’s community development chief to compel compliance. As with most of his properties, there were a host of violations, including a case in which a tarp was used in lieu of a roof. Pini is appealing the administrative costs, terming them in legal papers as “patently excessive,” “unreasonable,” or a “prejudicial abuse of discretion.” Pini’s attorney Lawrence Powell explained his client was forced to issue a writ against City Hall after the administrative hearing officer upheld both the fines and the fees. He said Pini has made all of the necessary repairs, though he conceded Pini didn’t always do so within the deadline City Hall set. The Carpinteria action was instigated when a couple of visitors in Pini’s Casa del Sol residential motel complained of dry rot, no heat, no kitchen facilities, and general dilapidation. In addition, there were complaints of accumulated garbage and lack of landscaping. When residents in adjoining properties also owned by Pini noticed the inspections, they complained of conditions in their apartment complexes, as well, — Nick Welsh triggering a broader enforcement response.

news briefs cont’d People living in single-family homes in the City of Santa Barbara managed to cut back water use by 29 percent in the month of August, while those in multifamily complexes cut back by 18 percent. Since City Hall declared a drought earlier this year, the water department has responded to 624 overuse complaints; only 10 notices of violation — and no fines — were issued. Most councilmembers still oppose strict rationing, preferring to discourage consumption by tiered pricing. And despite Planning Commissioner Michael Jordan’s concern about issuing water hookups to new development, no councilmembers voiced support for a moratorium on new development. Construction on the new, wider, and seismically enhanced Cabrillo Boulevard Bridge at the mouth of the city’s waterfront should begin next month, now that the City Council has approved an $18 million spending package to get the job done. Construction will occur in three phases, with the first phase lasting only a month; in deference to the federally endangered steelhead trout and tidewater goby, work can take place only between May and November. During Phase I, traffic will not be rechanneled. During the next two phases, traffic on Cabrillo will be reduced to one lane in either direction. Construction is expected to conclude by October 2016.

COUNTY Opponents to Measure P — the November ballot measure looking to stop all new fracking, acidizing, and cyclic-steaming wells — continue to clobber supporters on the fundraising front, upping their regional campaign coffers to more than $1.8 million. Statewide political committee Californians for Energy Independence recently pumped $1.6 million to the “No on P” team. The area’s oil industry — Santa Maria Energy, Venoco, ERG Operating Company, Pacific Coast Energy Company, and Aera — has chipped in, as has the account for Measure M ($4,000), the defeated June infrastructure-funding initiative led by Supervisor Peter Adam, who opposes Measure P. The “Yes on P” group has

amassed about $106,000, including $35,000 raised from an online campaign in the last week of August. UCSB announced this week that David Marshall is the school’s new executive vice chancellor. Marshall served as the dean of Humanities and Fine Arts and as an English professor for 16 years. He became the first executive dean of the College of Letters and Science in 2005 and created the Instructional Technology Enhancement Initiative. Marshall replaces Gene Lucas, who earned close to $300,000 in base pay in the position, according to Transparent California. Lucas retired late last year after 11 years in the role. County supervisors voted unanimously on 9/16 to move forward with replacing the Goleta Beach Park bridge, with construction expected to start in the spring and finish by the end of 2016. Paid for with state and federal monies, the new bridge will be built just west of the existing bridge, which will remain open during construction. The new bridge will be longer (168 feet versus 137 feet) and provide a wider walkway, which will be positioned next to the bike path.

Community members voiced strong concerns about the extendedstay hotel, most notably its construction on historical Chumash land (the tribe opposed the project), its water use (the moratorium enacted by the Goleta Water District last week won’t apply), and its effects on traffic.

Holzer Pleads Not Guilty

PAU L WELLM AN F I LE PHOTOS

Nicolas Holzer (pictured), the 45-year-old man accused of stabbing to death his two sons and his parents in their Goleta home last month, entered a not guilty plea through his attorney on Tuesday. Sitting behind a wall of protective glass, Holzer muttered just one word — agreeing to a time waiver — so quietly that even the judge could not hear him. Public defender Christine Voss told the court she may enter a not guilty plea by reason of insanity at a later date. In the months before the incident, Holzer reportedly made a number of peculiar reports on the phone and in person to the Sheriff’s Office, saying he knew the location of the missing Malaysia airliner, was responsible for the Deltopia riots, and was the ghostwriter of Elliot Rodger’s manifesto, according to a source who worked at the same company as the accused and his father, Bill Holzer. Sheriff’s spokesperson Kelly Hoover said she could not release any information about prior contacts because of the “anticipated prosecution.” Prosecutor Ron Zonen said it would be “premature” to comment on the reports. Judge Brian Hill will preside over the case. Holzer potentially faces the death penalty and is charged with four counts of first degree murder and one count of — Kelsey Brugger animal cruelty. He will return to court on November 4.

Goleta-County Squabble Sparks Up

PUBLIC AUCTION CONFISCATED ASSETS FROM LAW VIOLATORS

Shaking heads and skepticism preceded unanimous assent from the supervisors on Tuesday for Supervisor Janet Wolf to engage in a future “conversation” with Goleta Mayor Michael Bennett and Assemblymember Das Williams over the city’s tax-sharing deal — known as the revenue-neutrality agreement (RNA) — with the county. This year, including during Wolf’s reelection campaign against City Councilmember Roger Aceves, has seen city officials ramp up their anti-RNA efforts, with Bennett leading the charge for change after three previous discussions went nowhere. “Danged if you do, danged if you don’t,” said Supervisor Peter Adam, who joined his colleagues in worrying that a meeting would get hopes too high. Supervisor Doreen Farr questioned language used by Bennett in a letter to Wolf about the issue — he wrote that the city wants to “look at a local solution” — and further questioned the role the Legislature could play in the matter; County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni said he wouldn’t “expect to see a role for the state.” Others also pondered the reasons for Williams’s involvement, especially given his rumored upcoming run for supervisor. Williams, who said he isn’t aware of possible state-level changes to the RNA law, added his role isn’t tied to any future plans “What I might run for in two years is not going to stop me from taking political risks and working hard for my constituents — that’s just what I do,” he said. Bennett said the point of the meeting would be to “find some common ground” but that he would support state-level changes as “another avenue available.” Approved by voters in 2001 alongside a vote for cityhood, the deal spawns from a statewide law that aims to ensure counties don’t have the financial rug swept out from under them when cities incorporate. Under the first decade of Goleta’s plan — which will live on forever without renegotiation — the city evenly split its property-tax and sales-tax revenues with the county and kept 60 percent of its hotel-tax money; last year, the hotel-tax component ended and the sales-tax component decreased. The county has argued the services it provides to the city — Lyz Hoffman surpass the amount of money shared. september 18, 2014

Last Ride of ‘Gator Boy’? Cajun Kitchen Rallies to Save Downtown Mural

“

BY T Y L E R H AY D E N

ator Boy ” may be forced to ride into that good night after a recent complaint to City Hall sparked an official review of the mural on the north side of Chapala Street’s Cajun Kitchen Café. Unless café co-owner Juan Jimenez can convince city officials that the bayou-andbreakfast-inspired imagery should remain a permanent fixture of Santa Barbara’s highly regulated, historic downtown corridor, the popular piece of public art will come down next August. Jimenez — who, along with his brother, is in the process of taking over the 30-year-old restaurant chain from their dad — commissioned artist Curt Crawshaw to create the mural last December as part of a larger effort to spruce up and re-brand the business. Jimenez said he repainted the building, added new signs, and switched coffees. He got customer blowback about the new brew but received overwhelmingly positive responses about “Gator Boy.” That was until this summer when the city sent him a letter explaining the mural went up without the proper approvals and that Jimenez would either need to apply for a permit — which was unlikely to be granted — or paint over it. Shortly thereafter, Jimenez launched a public campaign to keep the mural, offering free coffee and T-shirts to customers who Instagramed a photo of themselves with “Gator Boy.” The #savegatorboy hashtag now has 214 posts, and Jimenez recently ran out of T-shirts. On August 13, Jimenez and Crawshaw took their case to the city’s Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC). While the commissioners unanimously agreed that “Gator Boy” is a fine piece of art created by a talented muralist, they knocked the pair — both of whom grew up in Santa Barbara — for completing the work without permission in El Pueblo Viejo Landmark District and its strict adherence to Spanish colonial architecture and design. “If you’ve lived here all your lives, you should know we regulate the downtown and talk about everything,” said Commissioner William Lavoie. “Bad boys.” The HLC toyed with giving approval, but commissioners worried the decision would set a precedent for other businesses to erect their own, less-appealing murals and then point to Cajun Kitchen when applying for after-the-fact permits. “We have to guard against this kind of thing proliferating across city,” said Commissioner Michael Drury. Commissioner Judy Orias agreed that the art itself wasn’t the problem; it’s the location.“I have to ask myself, is this

AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH… MYTH:

FACT:

P leaves 80% of conventional oil production alone.

P shuts down all oil production eventually because the initiative bans drilling techniques that every oil well in SB County uses.

P bans fracking in SB County.

There is NO fracking going on in SB County, nor will there be fracking in the future due to existing regulations and existing geology.

P is good for the environment.

P forces California to import more foreign oil from over-seas where environmental regulations are nearly non-existent. Producing oil overseas pollutes the global environment, and increases the risks of major oil spills in our oceans.

P is good for the economy.

P eliminates the most dynamic sector of our county economy and will kill over 1,000 local jobs with the highest take-home pay.

The oil and gas industry is only 1% of our countywide economy.

Oil and gas impacts 100% of our countywide economy when you consider that transportation, which is 97% dependent on petroleum, effects every other economic sector, including tourism, agriculture, high-tech, and government.

BAD BOY: Painted without permits, the mural “Gator Boy” was ordered painted over by the Historic Landmarks Commission; the appeal is pending.

something I’d want in front of De la Guerra Plaza?” she said. “It’s a charming, nice piece of art, but I wish it was up at Five Points or someplace else.” The only permanent mural in El Pueblo Viejo lives on the side of Paradise Café, HLC members noted, and the piece on the back of the Indigo Hotel was permitted as a temporary exhibit with a one-year lifespan scheduled to expire in December. Other commissioners noted that “Gator Boy” faces a building previously used by the Hollister family as an office space and that any structures around the office need to be managed with care and sensitivity. Historical activist Kellam de Forest, speaking during the meeting’s public-comment period, wondered,“Is the crocodile Spanish enough to pass muster?” Jimenez offered half-seriously: “We could add a sombrero.” In their comments to the HLC, Jimenez and Crawshaw said they have great respect for the city and never meant to upset its leadership with “Gator Boy.” They also noted that the mural is tucked into Cajun Kitchen’s parking lot and not highly visible from the street. “It was intended to be lighthearted and uplifting,” Crawshaw said, “something that would stick out enough to get some attention and be new and interesting, but also fit into the surroundings enough to be embraced and enjoyed, which it has been.” The HLC ultimately ruled that “Gator Boy” could stay up until August, at which point it will have to be removed. Commissioners advised Jimenez and Crawshaw that they could appeal the temporary permit to the City Council, which could hypothetically grant permanence, but that such a move by the council would “open a whole can of worms.” The hearing is scheduled for October 14. Jimenez admitted this week that he was naïve for not getting the right permits in the first place, but he took issue with how the HLC hearing and the city’s overall oversight process has played out.“We felt treated like we were just kids who tagged a wall,” he said, stressing that he wishes city decision makers would be better facilitators for public art, not roadblocks. “We understand that people don’t want Santa Barbara to look like L.A.,” he went on.“But it’s gotten to the point where Santa Barbara is looking way too plain rather than beautiful and historic. And too plain can be a negative.” ■

SOS Santa Barbara SOS POLICE AND FIRE OPPOSE MEASURE P

Among the most significant opponents of Measure P are the Santa Barbara County Deputy Sheriffs' Association and Santa Barbara County Fire Fighters. According to Adam Estabrook, President of Santa Barbara County Fire Fighters Local 2046: "The County stands to lose vital revenue needed to fund critical government services, including fire protection and law enforcement. Please Vote NO on P."

THE DEPUTY SHERIFFS' ASSOCIATION (DSA) ALSO OPPOSES MEASURE P. Energy operations in Santa Barbara county provide tens of millions of dollars per year for the County of Santa Barbara and other government agencies, including local schools. If Measure P passes, it will lead to the loss of county revenue and cuts in vital services--including police and ﬁre--or tax increases, or both.

Blood-Bloated Ticks Nesting in a Dog’s Ear

PHRICKING, PHRACKING, PHOOEY: Maybe it’s just me, but Measure P seriously chaps my ass.

Perhaps I’ve grown weary of getting my chain yanked by well-meaning Chicken Littles warning that the sky will fall if I don’t join them in drawing some line in the proverbial sand. My Pavlovian response mechanism can take only so much, and I can no longer summon forth the oceans of saliva required. Even less do I want to. Measure P, for those inoculated from local news, is a densely packed 40-page legal document that county voters will debate between now and the November elections as to whether a high-intensity oil-extraction process known as fracking should be banned anywhere on terra ﬁrma within Santa Barbara County limits. Even though no fracking is now taking place, Measure P constitutes a massive throw down against the oil industry. That’s because the measure would also ban a lesser-known process — cyclic steam injection — in which massive quantities of steam are injected deep into the bowels of the earth to dislodge recalcitrant globs of otherwise highly viscous oil and forcing them to the surface. Given that such steam injection is currently taking place and much more is envisioned, Measure P matters. Given the dollars involved, the stakes are incalculably high. And that brings me to my second point of irritation. If Measure P’s proponents — who’ve dubbed themselves the “Water Warriors” — want to play David to the Oil Industry’s Goliath, they would have been well advised to bring

along a slingshot. And maybe a few lethal projectiles, too. Based on recent campaign finance reports, however, it would appear they’re contemplating a mano-a-mano showdown instead. Where Goliaths are concerned, that’s never been a winning proposition. Thus far, Measure P supporters have raised only about $106,000. That might be okay if this were a county supervisors’ race. But it’s not. Meanwhile, the Oil Industry — companies from all over the state — has jumped in feet first to squash Measure P. To that end, they’ve already ponied up $1.6 million. And that’s just chump change from their sock drawer. Wait ’til they start writing real checks. All this should have been worked out in advance. Certainly, there were many veterans of the South Coast’s environmental establishment who were advising caution. But the warriors, freaked out by the admittedly large number of new cyclicsteam well applications, were frantic to qualify something for the November’s ballot. So here we are, conscripted into a fight we wouldn’t have picked. Worse, it’s one we can’t afford to lose. Imagine the implications if the oil companies defeated a fracking ban in Santa Barbara of all places, birthplace of the environmental movement. The Earth would cease spinning on its axis. Having gotten that out of my system, I will no doubt hold my nose and vote yes on P. What persuaded me was a major study, released just this week, which the oil companies themselves have seized upon with giddy relief, that purportedly demonstrates that fracking poses absolutely no risk to groundwater supplies. If I were an oil

company, I’d do the same thing. But if you read anything of the report, you’d recognize that such spin is the equivalent of concluding that guns don’t kill people; bullets do. The study, unprecedented in scope and access, tracked 130 water wells in Pennsylvania and Texas suspected of being contaminated by the chemical-cocktails pumped far beneath the nearby groundwater basins as part of the fracking process. Fracking critics, noting the migration of those chemicals — mostly methane — into underground basins, have long argued that the practice of fracking is inherently unsafe. What the studies show, however, is the problem is not fracking per se. The real problem, we are told, is faulty well drilling. Or even more commonly, problems with the concrete plastered around the well casings to ensure no chemical seep out, especially as the big industrialized straws penetrate underground water basins. In other words, it’s not sex that causes pregnancy; it’s faulty condoms. The second this study was published — by the National Academy of Sciences, no less — the Oil Industry began popping champagne corks. One industry spokesperson proudly noted that 99 percent of all wells are just ﬁne. But given the large number of such wells drilled in Pennsylvania alone, that one percent failure rate translates to one contaminated water supply every 9 months. What did I say about those condoms? What relevance, you may ask, does this have for cyclic steam injection, only a kissing cousin to fracking? In 2008, the Society of Petroleum

Engineers published a report on well-casing

failure involved in cyclic steam injection. It turns out the report was written by three scientists working for Chevron, the same company that, to date, has spent $1.2 million to kill Measure P. Those scientists studied a field of 370 steaminjection wells in Kern County not far from Bakersfield from 1992 to 2002. They concluded that the high temperatures of the steam — about 500 degrees — used in such extraction takes a serious toll on the well casings. They found the failure rate of the well casing was not the one percent referenced by industry spokespersons. In fact, they reported that 69 of the 370 wells had well casing problems. By their own math, that’s a 16 percent failure rate. It should be acknowledged that not every time there’s a well casing problem, groundwater supplies are contaminated. But the odds do go up. So yeah, the Water Warriors bug. But there are overriding considerations. Last time I checked, Californians are experiencing the worst drought in recorded history. Even in good years, every drop of surface water in California has been claimed five to 10 times over. In that context, the sanctity of groundwater basins are not merely important; they are survival. Yes, the county supervisors passed an ordinance regulating fracking, but supervisors come and supervisors go.Where groundwater is concerned, I’m not just a belts-and-suspenders kind of guy; I wear garters to keep my socks up, too. In the meantime, walk softly but carry a big slingshot. —Nick Welsh

// – //

Michael Francis Bush passed away on Thursday, September , . He was preceded in death by his mother, Eleanor G. Bush, and his father, John (Joe) Burchard Bush. Michael was born in Houston, Texas, on election day in  when Franklin D. Roosevelt won the presidential election against Wendell Wilkie. Mike grew up in Pasadena, California. He attended Wilson Elementary, Pasadena High School (class of ), Pasadena City College, UC Berkeley, and Cal State Los Angeles. Mike met Sandy Williams while in high school, and they were married in . The births of three daughters (Jennifer, Pamela, and Susan) followed in the next five years. In  they all moved north to Santa Barbara, California, so Mike could start a position with ABCCLIO publishing company. A fourth daughter, Linda, was born at Cottage Hospital, Santa Barbara in . In  Mike and his family moved to Oxford, England, to open the European division of ABC-CLIO. In  Mike moved to Dana Point, California, where he worked for the Orange County Daily Pilot newspaper and then owned a successful house cleaning business for many years. Mike had an affinity for the ocean and fishing. He loved Dana Point for its access to the harbor and its proximity to great Mexican food. Up until the end, he searched Orange County for the best carnitas. The victor was continually changing, but the last we heard it was a little place in San Juan Capistrano. Mike looked forward to his weekly lunches with his brother, John, and their long, intelligent, and meaningful discussions. Mike’s favorite times were when his four daughters, six grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter were all in the same place at once, telling stories, laughing, making music, and playing games. An incessant teaser, Mike always had the right answer when playing Trivial Pursuit; it was the makers of the game that were wrong. After he beat the odds and added many good years on to his life, lung cancer finally got the best of him. His four daughters were with him at the time of his passing, ushering him gracefully on to the next adventure with Eleanor, Carolyn, Helen, Henry, Helena, Frank, and Joe. He was dearly loved, and will be greatly missed. Michael F. Bush is survived by his brother, John B. Bush, Jr.; his daughters, Jennifer, Pamela, Susan, and Linda; his niece, Catherine, and nephew, John; his grandchildren, Emilie, Torrey, Anastasia, Henry, Taylor, and Ava; and his greatgranddaughter, Phoenyx. There will be a private memorial service in Dana Point, California, on September , . For information please contact Susan at susanbushwest@ gmail.com. 20

Devoted Loving Husband, Adored Father, and Cherished Grandfather “Papa” passed away peacefully on May rd, , at home, surrounded by his family, after another courageous battle with esophageal cancer. He was  years old. Bob was born in Miami, Florida, on June th, , to Charles Strickland and Marguerite Corrigan Bates. Growing up the youngest of ten children, with four brothers and five sisters, Bob rose above challenging circumstances after his father passed away when he was only eight years old. He attended South Side Elementary and Palm Beach Junior High in Florida before moving to Santa Barbara with his mother and sisters in  to be on the West Coast and closer to his brothers, who were all serving in the armed forces. Bob attended Santa Barbara High School where he immediately created many lifelong friendships that were relished and celebrated for over  years. He was known for his great sense of humor, being a fierce competitor on the field, and his love for cars! Bob was the only member in Glee Club that was asked to just move his lips and not sing! Bob met and fell in love with the most beautiful and sweetest girl on campus, his high school sweetheart and future wife, Anita Stahmer. They graduated together with the ‘Class of ’’. Bob married Anita, daughter of the late Karl and Katherine Stahmer, on Sunday, August th, , at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Santa Barbara. With everything they owned packed in the back of their ’ Mercury, the newlyweds headed down to San Diego. Bob enlisted in the U. S. Navy and reported to the Navel Training Base in San Diego on Jan. , . Trained as a Fire Control Technician, Bob proudly served four years on the destroyer USS Orleck DD-, initiator of the famous United Nations’‘Train Busters Club’, during the Korean War. Bob loved to tell his kids that he had the best job on the ship responsible for target acquisition,‘computing range and trajectory up to  miles away’ and pulling the triggers on the biggest cannons on the ship. His favorite story was of one ‘Train Buster’ mission, That while patrolling the coast of North Korea several miles out to sea, he spotted a train hiding in several tunnels with just two box cars visible in between tunnels. Immediately he computed the target information, and fired the first salvo right through one of the two exposed box cars and was very surprised when the entire mountain erupted because the train happened to be an ammunition train! Forever a ‘Tin Can Sailor’, Bob lived by the ship’s motto: Foresight & Vigilance. Upon returning to Santa Barbara with the first of four sons, baby Michael, the new family took residence at Hoff Heights. Bob put himself through Santa Barbara College on the Riviera campus and then UCSB while working at A&P

september 18, 2014

Grocery Store & Jordano’s. A member of Pi Sigma Alpha, Bob graduated ‘Magna Cum Laude’ from UCSB with a BA in Political Science and English. During this time Cindy, Bobby ‘Jr.’ and Kenny joined the family. After Student Teaching at Bishop and Carpinteria High Schools, Bob began teaching at SB Junior High and then SB High Schools until , when Dos Pueblos High School opened its doors. Bob’s passion for educating was well known across the new campus, and for the next  years room H- would be a center-point for students eager to learn and debate topics of Political Science, Government, Civil Liberties, and World Religions and History with Mr. Bates. Students will forever remember governing ‘Batesovia’, tales of the ‘Black Widow Theory’, and the delivery of cinnamon rolls to class. Bob was unwavering in his belief and dedicated his career to the concept that young people understand the importance of government, the power of politics and their personal social responsibility connected to it. A favorite teacher often holding court at his doorway, Mr. Bates always extended himself beyond the classroom. Bob also taught night school Citizenship classes at SBHS for many years. The arrival of forth son, Steven, had all of DPHS talking! Bob was longtime member of the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors (#), after securing his Real Estate and Brokers Licenses in the early ’s. Countless clients and agents sought Bob’s expertise and support with many transactions throughout the years. Creating the ‘BTTL’ Limited Partnership of Bates,Teague,Tucker & Lanning, he built many apartment and condo projects throughout SB. Golf was one of Bob’s favorite pastimes after retiring from teaching. He joined the Montecito Country Club, and looked forward to the game that brought great friends together weekly. With the ‘Luck of the Irish’ upon him, Bob hit three Hole-In-One shots within  months. Two at Montecito and one at Ojai Valley Inn! Bob’s collection of antique cars brought him great joy. The comradery of a car caravan, the constant ‘hunt’ for a new favorite car, and road trips to car shows with ‘The Best Group of Guys’, always filled Bob’s social calendar. The sight of that  Ford Phaeton rolling in meant Bob Bates was at the show! Nothing in the world was more important to Bob than his family, his greatest pride. The patriarch, strength and soul of the family, everything he did in life was for his wife and children. Dad never missed a Boy’s Club basketball or baseball game, high school football or track meet, boat drag race, — every event and accomplishment celebrated. Summers were devoted to great family, time trips to Bass Lake & Naciemiento Lake, with homemade ‘White Whale’ and then ‘Papanator’ in tow. A trip of a lifetime was taken in  when Bob flew his family to Miami, Florida, to share his childhood memories. Bob and Anita traveled the country coast to coast with many dear friends, Maui, Hawaii, being a favorite destination. As the families grew, the arrival of grandchildren gave ‘Papa’ the greatest delight — each one filling his heart with joy and cherished time together for dance performances, drum exabitions, soccer goals and driver training! Bob is survived by his wife of  years, Anita Stahmer Bates, and their five children — Michael (Adrienne), Cindy

(Michael Elster), Robert Jr. (Denise), Kenneth (Heidi), and Steven (Nicole). Bob and Anita have seven grandchildren — Kaitlyn & Jamie Elster, Michael Bates, Owen Bates, Olivia, Hannah and Amelia Bates. Bob will be Forever Loved by his family and missed dearly by all who knew him. The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Bob’s team of doctors who shared his battle the past  years — Dr. Mark Abate, Dr. William Hahn, Dr. Alex Koper, and Dr. Erno Daniel. In particular, to surgeon Dr. Wilton ‘Bill’ Doane , who performed a miracle — you will forever be in our hearts. To Susanna Dubler of Corum Care, we are blessed to have had your compassionate care and guidance. A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, September th, at :pm, at First Presbyterian Church,  E. Constance Ave., (corner of State Street and Constance). Antique Classics, Hot Rods welcome. In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Bob’s memory to Santa Barbara Scholarship Foundation or Visiting Nurses & Hospice Care. McDermott-Crockett Mortuary.

Break the Silence

and Herbs

n 1976, I left the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s Office to become chief assistant to Los Angeles City Attorney Burt Pines at a time when domestic violence cases were a low law-enforcement priority and were even challenged as a legitimate criminal prosecution concern by many who considered conduct in the home a private family matter. “Reluctant victims” were hesitant to cooperate with the prosecution and were at risk of being threatened by perpetrators to “drop charges.” The L.A. City Attorney’s Office instituted a program in 1978 that changed this culture. The objective was to establish an understanding that crimes of violence committed by persons living in a continuing personal relationship are not less criminal than those involving strangers. By emphasizing that it was solely the public prosecutor’s responsibility to file and dismiss criminal charges, threats from perpetrators were no longer effective tools of intimidation. Many of these reforms have been implemented in California law during the last 45 years, and what was innovative then has become the standard today. Nevertheless, domestic violence continues to represent a constant threat to children and the fabric of our community. It takes strong voices to break the silence around domestic violence, but every single step and every single voice counts, from those involved in legislation to families, friends, and neighbors. It is imperative that all of us continue to work together to reduce the incidence of domestic violence, to stop the cycles, and to eliminate the stereotypes that provide obstacles to progress. Here in S.B. County, we are fortunate to have Domestic Violence Solutions to provide safe and confidential shelter, support, and advocacy and to play a leadership role in education and effecting social change. I urge you to “take a step” to raise awareness and save lives by signing up to run, walk, and roll to support Domestic Violence Solutions in its K Run for Love at dvsrunforlove.org.

Since World War II, we’re the first generation, all 80 million of us in our twenties or thirties, to be financially worse off than when our parents were starting out. We’ve delayed crossing traditional milestones of adulthood, such as getting married, starting a family, and paying a mortgage. But now, as the economy improves, millennials are beginning to set off on their own in earnest. They’re moving out of their parents’ homes and hoping to live without roommates. This social shift is the biggest factor driving housing demand across the country. But tough financing standards, crippling student loans, and a belief that they will have better career choices if they remain mobile have kept home buying off the table.“These are critical members of our work force, but they often don’t have the desire or capacity to buy,” explained Dawn Dyer with Dyer Sheehan Group, a real estate consulting firm that recently completed its analysis of the South Coast rental market for the 2014 UCSB Economic Forecast Project. Besides, with the median price of a South Coast property at $1.1 million, she asked,“how can you possibly save enough?” Dyer’s survey of 2,132 of the city’s marketrate rentals — there are approximately 21,000 renter-occupied units in the city; 36 percent are one-bedroom, and 39 percent are twobedroom — showed that the average studio now costs $1,114 a month. An average onebedroom is $1,378; a two-bedroom, $1,996; and a three-bedroom, $2,740. The area’s median salary is $36,773. As a general rule, economists say tenants shouldn’t pay more than 30 percent of their income toward rent.

SUPPLY

AND DEMAND

Leon Lunt, vice president of the 1,200-member Santa Barbara Rental Property Association, conceded the market is “really tight” right now but said he remembers vacancy rates dropping below one percent before. That was in the 1980s. Today, Lunt said, many property owners and managers such as himself could probably get 10 percent more than what they’re asking, but that would level “too much pressure on the customer.” It’s not always worth it to beat the market, Lunt explained, as landlords don’t want to create more work for themselves by watching their tenants move every few months.“We have to be sensitive to community needs,” he said.“We don’t want to spark any issues with price control. It’d create a lot of animosity between owners and tenants.” While Santa Barbara’s prices may be steep, Lunt went on, they’re no different than other Southern California coastal cities.“Look at Corona, San Diego, Newport,” he said.“They have an equivalent median income, and their rental rates are pretty high compared to us.” Other Santa We pay for such poor-quality housing Barbara property owners and in this town and sadly, after years, lower our managers interviewed for this story made similar claims, standards.

While rental rates ticked up 2-3 percent this year, as they have for the last several years, a continuing loss of middle-income jobs from the area and minimal gains in salaries have kept rates from jumping any further. Otherwise, it could have been as high as 6-8 percent. Dyer said she predicts another 2-3 percent rental raise next year. Nevertheless, Dyer wrote in her report,“Given the strict limitations on new development and the high quality of life, demand for South Coast rental housing is expected to far outpace supply for the next several years.”

Walking that fine line, planners have, nevertheless, been able to limit building heights and densities, while also creating a host of affordable and assisted-housing units, which compose about 15 percent of the city’s housing. Commercial development has intentionally been kept at bay to avoid making matters worse, but select worker-housing projects — notably Cottage Hospital’s 115-unit Bella Riviera complex — have been approved. Santa Barbara updated its state-mandated General Plan in 2011 after seven arduous years of input and negotiation, much of it over density and affordability.

NEW ERA? Breaking with the area’s condo development tradition, the Corwin family decided to build rental apartments for their 33-unit Arlington Village behind the downtown theater.

expects that won’t be a deterrent to young professionals, two-income families, or recently-retired folks. Peikert also hinted that another mixed-use project on Milpas Street might be in the works that could feature as many as 70 units. But the proposal is still in its early stages. While the AUD is a step in the right direction, Peikert believes, it needs some ushering along to attract companies that may utilize it for workforce housing. Peikert envisions an employer housing consortium in which the professional development company would act as a general partner and the employer businesses as limited partners.“This is a concept that I pioneered with my former business partner some years ago,” he explained. “It is a tried, tested, and proven legal framework.” Through the model, the limited partners would become equity investors in a development, and their return would be completed residential units at below market pricing. As Arlington Village’s groundbreaking draws near, construction crews have finished knocking down the Mirasol Plaza Inn and an office building on upper State Street near La Cumbre Plaza to make way for a four-story, mixed-use rental project that’s in its final stages of design approval. It was originally envisioned for condos. The lots were purchased at market price by State Street Property LLC, a partnership between Santa Monica–based REthink Development, the Kor Group out of Beverly Hills, and other unnamed investors. Under old city rules, only 38 studio units would have been permitted at the site, said city planner Daniel Gullett. With the AUD program, 89 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with an average of 804 square feet have been allowed. The project’s commercial space will be limited to office and “general retail”— not including restaurants, fast food, banks, or convenience stores — and a partially submerged parking garage will hold 134 spaces. At an Architectural Board of Review meeting last week, designers promised to tone down some of the structure’s bright accent colors and go instead with a more neutral,“timeless” palette.

That was refreshing.” Reitz said the community feedback he and his partners received

EVOLVE OR DIE

Those who resist the creation of higherdensity housing often complain about the “canyonization” of city corridors and the sullying of the city’s red-roofed skyline. But Lisa Plowman, who works at Peikert Group Architects and is the president of the Coastal Housing Coalition, said careful choices can make a building more “human scale” and approachable at the street level, like hiding a fourth story in the back of a structure and breaking up the mass with nuanced design techniques. She lamented the recent backlash that greeted Peoples’ Self-Help Housing Corporation’s AUD-inspired plan to develop a four-story structure on Haley Street that would contain 47 subsidized family apartI don’t make ments ranging in rent from only $500 to $1,000 a month. a lot of money, so I Concerns from nearby propshare a room in a tiny twoerty owners over height and

was encouraging and that the overall experience “has been so good that we would love to look at other opportunities” in the city. Ahead of the curve are Michael Towbes and the Towbes Group, who’ve taken advantage of Goleta’s large, comparatively cheaper parcels to build hundreds of affordable rental units in recent years as the city rejiggered some of its own zoning rules. Just last month, Towbes celebrated the expansion of the Willow Springs complex by 100 new apartments and has his sights set on Heritage Ridge, a pending 360-unit project along Los Carneros Road. Craig Zimmerman with the Towbes Group said the developments cater to the area’s higher-wage tech and financial-service jobs, and that their average resident stays four to six years. While environmental reviews and open-space regulations can still scare off some developers because consultants are expensive and “time kills all deals,” both Goleta and Santa Barbara policy makers have been supportive of the rental push, he explained. No one is under the illusion that rentals alone will solve the housing issue, Zimmerman said, but the continual additions will help fill the ballooning need because, as he put it,“when you speak with demographers, you hear that this is just the tip of the wave that’s coming.” Cities all over the country are bracing for that wave — the Census Bureau reported last month that over the course of the last year, construction crews broke ground on 332,000 new apartments, more than any comparable period since 1989. The census also noted that the national vacancy rate for rentals fell to 7.5 percent, the lowest since 1997.

parking ultimately led to a one-story reduction and the loss of seven units. “If we’re serious about providing housing,” Plowman said,“then four-story projects that meet code should get approved.” The neighborhood is in transition, she went on,“so when you’re the first to go, that can present challenges.” Much of the resistance to that project and others seems rooted in a general fear of the unknown, Plowman theorized. “People just don’t like change.” Parking often emerges as a sticking point to denser developments, but housing advocates counter that cars are too expensive for most people who qualify for public housing and that young workers who seek manageable market-rate homes are open to, and actually embrace, walking, biking, and public transportation. The xenophobic stigma sometimes attached to renters has started to wane in recent years, advocates also noted, but many homeowners still come out of the woodwork to complain when a new development is proposed nearby.“A lot of people don’t realize that many renters are young professionals,” said analyst Dawn Dyer. “They’re young doctors doing their residencies; they’re police officers, teachers. But if you want to keep them around, you need to provide a variety of different types of housing at different price points.” A community is a living thing, she summed up. It’s constantly in change, and if it’s not growing or evolving, it’s “moving toward death.” Ê

Holy House Painter Text and photos by Paul Wellman

Father Archimandrite Gideon (below) spent up to 14 hours a day for three days (and four hours) on a rented Genie lift — with meals brought up to him — while he repainted the Holy Resurrection Russian Orthodox Church at Victoria and Castillo streets. Father Gideon chose to do the work himself to set an example, saying it is really more of a jeweler’s job due to all the details. Father Gideon, who is Bulgarian, has made many improvements to the structure and its property — such as mending fencing, replacing ﬂagstones, and adding new doors — that neighbors and photographing tourists alike have noticed. Next up, the inside gets painted in preparation for the church’s 60-year anniversary next year.

AIA’s Annual Tour

COURTESY AIA

Scene in S.B.

NEW DESIGNS: Pictured is the inside of the SYNERGY Business and Technology Center on Calle César Chávez.

In 1857, a handful of architects gathered in New York City and created the American Institute of Architects (AIA). It’s purpose then was, among other goals, “to promote the artistic, scientiﬁc, and practical profession of its members; … to elevate the standing of the profession; and to combine the efforts of those engaged in the practice of Architecture, for the general advancement of the Art,” according to its constitution. More than 150 years later, and the AIA remains true to its mission. The organization now has more than 300 chapters throughout the country, including one in Santa Barbara. Each year, our AIA offers a public tour so folks can see the latest and greatest design by S.B. architects. This year’s theme is Sustainable Living and consists of eight projects that run the gamut from multifamily homes to new and remodeled houses to commercial design. The day-long tour is self-guided, which affords moving along at your own pace. (Neither taking photographs nor smoking is permitted at any of the properties.) The event takes place Saturday, October 4, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. (tour) and 4:30-6 p.m. (after-party). Tour tickets and map can be collected at the AIA Santa Barbara ofﬁce (229 E. Victoria St.) beginning Wednesday, October 1. Cost is $25-$65. For more information, call 966-4198 or see aiasb.com. — Michelle Drown

BOARD GLORY: East Camino Cielo will be the site of S.B.’s ﬁrst sanctioned high-speed skateboard race, happening this weekend.

ot only is the underground alive and well, but this weekend it is going street legal. For two days in the hills above Santa Barbara, some of the world’s best downhill skateboarders will be testing their mettle against each other and the scenic slopes of East Camino Cielo during the Santa Gnarbara Downhill, a onemile, high-speed race risking life and limb on the way to skateboard glory. “In the past, this has been an underground and un-permitted event, but this year we have gone legit and secured all the necessary permits from the county and the [Los Padres] National Forest. Really, they have been nothing but helpful and supportive from the beginning,” said event organizer Thomas Flinchbaugh late last week as he ramped up for the main event. With the race open to a maximum field of 128 competitors, Flinchbaugh, who is a Santa Barbara High alum, fully expects all the spots to fill up with an assortment of both area and international riders. “Last year we sold out, and we were an outlaw event with zero publicity,” he said, adding that the timing of the event couldn’t be better as it falls in between the two largest International Downhill Federation (IDF)–sanctioned events happening in California this year. “Santa Barbara is already on the map as being a destination for downhill, but now [thanks to the permitting], it could really turn into something big. We have world-class roads here.” A one-mile road closure on East Camino Cielo just east of Gibraltar Road will be enforced as contestants get a full day of practice runs on Saturday and then the main event on Sunday. The contest will pit racers against one another in four-man heats, with the top two across the finish line advancing in a bracket-style fashion. Winners will be crowned in two divisions, Groms (17 and under) and Open, by being the first person to finish in the final heat of the day. Besides bragging rights, the top-place finishers should also expect a share of a pretty fat cash purse that Flinchbaugh estimates will be in the $3,000-$4,000 range. “I just hope that people come up and watch,” said Flinchbaugh. “It is going to be a great event, and everybody is welcome.” The event takes place Saturday-Sunday, September 20-21.

The Gathering

Coaches, Players, and Press Talk the Week in Sports at the S.B. Athletic Round Table

by John Zant

HUDDLE UP: The Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table luncheons came into being in 1968; two years later, it held its ﬁrst Monday press luncheon at Harry’s Plaza Café. The 45th year of the weekly gatherings kicked off two weeks ago as coaches, athletes, and members of the press met at Harry’s to support area schools in their sporting pursuits.

the fall. Women’s and girls’ sports, which were not officially recognized until the mid ’70s, now get equal billing. Athletes of all shapes and sizes — all radiating health and fitness — accompany their coaches to the luncheons. While football coaches were able to expostulate in the old days, now the speakers must be brief and to the point. Westmont College women’s soccer coach Kristi Kiely reviewed an eventful year in a minute — the Warriors made it to the 2013 NAIA championship match after her last luncheon appearance, she gave birth to a baby, and a new season is underway. Most of the prep football teams had taken their lumps in previous weekend, but all the coaches were upbeat. Santa Barbara’s J.T. Stone used the word “excited” about 20 times. Members of the press, yearning to hear a quote worthy of leading off a story, faithfully attend the luncheons. They appreciate the coaches who make attempts at humor or tell interesting anecdotes. But after the Big West Conference reprimanded UCSB women’s soccer coach Paul Stumpf last week for his published comments in the wake of a controversial overtime defeat, you probably won’t hear a coach ripping game officials. It must have been pretty bad, that soccer match, because Stumpf is not one to fly off the handle. Thanks to The Santa Barbara Independent’s new partnership with PresidioSports.com, you can read all about the weekly luncheons — and find results of sporting events throughout the community — through independent.com. The male and female athletes of the week, voted on by several media members and compiled by Presidio Sports, are featured in print, as well. It’s a new era in a lot of ways, but Santa Barbara’s sports world still goes around. For more sports, including a weekly highlight schedule, see independent.com/sports.

ATHLETES of the WEEK

COURTESY PRESIDIO SPORTS

News-Press sports reporter in the fall of 1968. Every team in town received in-depth coverage. Once the season was underway, there was a Tuesday story recapping the previous game and looking forward to the next one, a Wednesday story analyzing the cumulative statistics, a Thursday feature story, a game advance on Friday with starting lineups, and a comprehensive game story on Saturday with a scoring summary and statistics. The paper went to press midday on Saturdays, so we had plenty of time to write our game stories. We’d usually finish up around 2 a.m. and then head to the Jolly Tiger or, later, Carrows — the only 24-hour joints in the vicinity — and wind down from the night’s work with high-calorie meals that would keep us chatting into the wee hours. There was plenty of excitement on the prep football scene. Santa Barbara High still had one of the strongest teams in Southern California. Sam Cunningham was a senior fullback and linebacker for the Dons in 1968. Two years later, “Sam Bam” and the USC Trojans would run all over “Bear” Bryant’s Crimson Tide in Birmingham, Alabama, and open the gates for the integration of major college teams throughout the South. San Marcos, Dos Pueblos, Carpinteria, and Bishop Diego all had championship-contending teams in those years. The UCSB Gauchos had enjoyed some glory in the mid ’60s under “Cactus” Jack Curtice, but they were beginning to struggle against big-time competition at the start of a new decade. Bob Dinaberg took SBCC football to the first of eight league titles in 1969. In September 1970, Monday-morning quarterbacking became a regional institution. The Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table, established two years earlier to support area schools in their athletic pursuits, held its first Monday press luncheon at Harry’s Plaza Café. ABC’s Monday Night Football also made its debut at that time. Throughout the fall, it was a football luncheon. Each coach had ample time to tell stories. UCSB’s Andy Everest would bring game film and a projector. He proudly showed the Gauchos’ opening drive of the 1971 season at Washington. They moved the ball crisply down the field and scored a touchdown to take a 7-0 lead, players raising their arms in exultation as they ran off the field. That was the end of the highlight reel. Washington had one of the nation’s top quarterbacks in Sonny Sixkiller. He rallied the Huskies to a 65-7 victory. The Gauchos lost the next week at Tennessee, 48-7 — not a good way to build enthusiasm for the team. They did manage to win three games that year and gave San Diego State all it could handle, but attendance at home games was not sufficient for a major program. Citing financial deficits, the administration extinguished UCSB’s big-time football dreams. The Round Table has kept its press luncheons going throughout each school year. The 45th year of the weekly gatherings kicked off two weeks ago. The setting in the Ranchero Room of Harry’s had hardly changed. Look around the room, and you’ll see the familiar faces of retired coaches Dinaberg, Dick Mires, and Mike Warren. There’s an empty spot where Round Table cofounder Jerry Harwin used to sit. He departed two years ago, but he did make it to 100 years old. The main difference from the early years is the diversity of sports. Football coaches still appear weekly, but there are also opportunities for soccer, volleyball, water polo, cross-country, golf, and tennis coaches to speak on various Mondays in

came up with the big plays to help their teams produce points and post victories over the weekend. Roberts, a sophomore quarterback at Dos Pueblos, threw ﬁve touchdown passes and ran for a score, leading the Chargers to their ﬁrst football win of the season, a 48-20 victory over Santa Ynez. Allen, a junior outside hitter for the San Marcos girls’ volleyball team, powered the Royals to the championship at the San Luis Obispo Tournament. She blasted 46 kills and served up 13 aces in the two-day competition. She earned the tournament’s Most Valuable Player award. ■ For the complete story, see presidiosports.com.

@sbindyfood BREW BUD: Brewer Kevin Ashford dumps hops into a bubbling batch of Figueroa Mountain ale.

Figueroa Mountain LETS LOOSE WITH LIQUAMENTUM

ounded just four years ago in a Buellton ware-

house on about 100 barrels of beer, Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company continues skyrocketing in size. The craft brewery enjoys jam-packed taprooms in Buellton, Santa Barbara, and Los Olivos; runs its own distribution network from San Luis Obispo to Orange County; plans to be the anchor tenant of a to-be-developed public market in S.L.O.; and is targeting 20,000 barrels in 2015. (For perspective, Sierra Nevada, the granddaddy of California craft brewers, makes more than 800,000, while Central Coast big boy Firestone Walker tops 140,000.) But the Dietenhofer family owners, head brewer A.J. Stoll, and their employees keep having fun, too, best evidenced in their experimental barrel-aging project Liquamentum, which releases the two latest beers — the Double Down Davy Brown and Hell’s Half Acre Barleywine — this month. During a visit to their chilly barrel room in May, brewer Kevin Ashford showed off these beers midway through their aging. The Double Down, he explained, is a “significantly amplified version of Davy Brown,” in which they basically doubled the ingredients to make an imperial American brown ale, which picks up butterscotch from the bourbon barrels they sourced from Cutler’s Artisan Spirits. Ashford jammed so many grains and hops into the Barleywine that he “almost broke the brewhouse,” but the ruby-red results are delicious. “It’s a snifter beer,” said Ashford. “It looks like a gem.” The Liquamentum project, which will get its own tasting room next year, is also experimenting with winedosed ales (sauvignon blanc with saison, petite sirah with porter) and may even take adventures with such things as kombucha in your cup. That keeps things interesting for brewers like Ashford, who chose a job at Fig Mountain, as it’s widely known, over other options around the country. “You can grow fast, but can you continue making goodquality beer?” he explained. “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think we were.” You can taste Liquamentum’s Double Down Davy Brown and Hell’s Half Acre Barleywine as part of the September 27 FigtoberFest in Buellton, but all of the current releases will also be on tap — as well as sausage and MORE music — during the September 20 FOOD FigtoberFest in Santa Barbara’s Funk SEE P. 65 Zone.

As for contemporaries, the group cites The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The Kills, and Dead Weather. The bombastic anthem “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Indian Blood” sets the course, borrowing the rhythm from the ’60s classic “Cherokee Nation,” while Paz proclaims: “We’ll burn the streets / Regrow the forest / We’ll rob the richest / Give to the poorest!” “Wanted Man,” intriguingly, takes the Dylan/Cash template, adds different lyrics and a disco beat, and produces one hell of a great song.

On the heavy-duty “Killing Fields,” Paz exhorts: “You think that ﬂower power will make them stop / Bang Bang Bang, baby, here comes the cops / Power is power, love, no matter who’s on top.” A sultry cover of Burt Bacharach’s “Baby It’s You” lightens the atmosphere on the album’s second half, while the rootsy, blues-wailing “Fire” finds the band ablaze. But “” is Reign’s standout track, on which Paz convincingly chants: “The more I love / The more I feel like making revolution / The more I make revolution / The more I feel like making love,” while Pires shreds and Wilk decimates the kit.

TOKiMONSTA

On August 28, Los Angeles producer TOKiMONSTA (a k a Jennifer Lee) VELVET JON took to Twitter in a righteous HOSTS ES rage and delivered a surprisingly profound message about how consumers’ relationship to music has changed. That is to say, she said “fuck it” (literally) and leaked “Steal My Attention,” a song from her highly anticipated and yet-to-be-released third album, Desiderium. Whether it was one artist’s desperate plea or just a disconcertingly tact guerrilla marketing technique, this seemingly impulsive act was yet another example of the increasingly fluid demands of consumers who interact with artists on a multiplatform basis. As for “Steal My Attention,” it sounds as inviting and honest as TOKi’s 2013 hit “Go With It,” though the track’s stripped-down style and straightforward danceability clearly point to a rededication to the simplicity of beat making. It’s high-energy dance music with R&B rhythms, contrasted by gradual, melancholy melody that refuses to even consider the simplicity of a bright, sugary hook. Although TOKiMONSTA is the product of more than a decade of formal music training, she credits an early love of hip-hop as primary inspiration for her foray into production and deejaying, though her early efforts to produce for rappers fell somewhat flat. A sustained commitment to traditional structures and theory proved advantageous for the up-and-coming TOKi, who eventually signed with Brainfeeder, the hallowed record label of electronic music master Flying Lotus. (She’s since left for her own imprint.) Included on the SoundCloud page of “Steal my Attention,” the aforementioned leaked track, there was a note left by TOKi herself, which reads: “I am going through some tough shit right now and all that makes me happy is knowing that I can bring people music that may help them in some way.” In the end, it’s that sincerity and enthusiasm which most clearly sets the music of TOKiMONSTA apart from the thump-thump-thumping doldrums — it’s a refreshingly honest break for a genre seemingly careening off a creative cliff and into a sea of infinite “bangers” and “breakdowns.” TOKiMONSTA plays Velvet Jones ( State St.) on Saturday, September 20, with Made in Heights.

SEPTEMBER IN THE FUNK ZONE by Charles Donelan

MAD MAX: Amid all the conversations sparked by the development of Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone as the city’s “cosmopolitan sub-destination,” one key point seems to keep getting lost. Whether or not the area remains affordable for artists (whatever that means in this town) and regardless of how many tasting rooms and restaurants open, what matters most in the final analysis is what’s on the walls. From that point of view, the Funk Zone is answering the call and providing the kind of experience that will both educate us locals and have the potential to attract intelligent, art-savvy visitors. Two recent shows, one at MichaelKate and the other at wall space gallery, demonstrate the Zone’s complementary strengths. Together they add up to a potent formula for aesthetic progress. At wall space, there’s fascinating and deliberately controversial work by Maxine Helfman, a Dallas-based photographer with a national reputation. That show succeeds in providing the kind of excitement associated with the art that’s typically shown in larger urban centers. Over at MichaelKate, Brad Nack has put together a sprawling salon of 36 of Santa Barbara’s top artists called, appropriately enough, All the Stars. Simply by spending some time in these two locations, viewers have a chance to see that we have not only access to the most cutting-edge work being done nationally but also a diverse and vibrant scene of our own that spans multiple generations and genres. Helfman’s Confounding Expectation brings together three of the artist’s recent projects in portraiture. In these works, Helfman showcases her extraordinary technical facility with lighting and composition, skills honed to perfection through years of still life and commercial fashion photography, to bear on subjects of her own devising, each of which in some way violates a taboo of conventional portraiture. In the series known as Historical Correction, Helfman poses African-American models in the manner of Flemish masterworks of the 16th century. In addition to costuming these contemporary humans in the distinctive white lace and ruffles of the period, Helfman has added another layer of complexity to the images by having the subjects wear an extra-dark coating of theatrical makeup. The poses are regal, bordering on defiant, and the message is, as a result, quite mixed. There’s clearly a reference being made to slavery, but there’s also considerable black power unleashed in these challenging works. Elsewhere, Helfman takes this exploration of African-American identity in the postmodern era even further with two more series,

Geisha and Summertime, both of which employ similar techniques of deliberate estrangement. The series likely to provoke the most reaction, though, is one called Fabrication, which depicts young boys wearing dresses. Facing the camera, their eyes resolutely meeting those of the viewer, the boys in these remarkable images present themselves in a way that is at once gorgeous and unsettling. In a talkback with the artist at the gallery last Sunday, an astute visitor observed that if this gender role masquerade were reversed, with 8-year-old girls wearing boys’ clothes, the disjunction would vanish. Fabrication thus serves to make legible the asymmetry in our expectations for young men and women. These powerful images are among the most interesting on view in Santa Barbara right now, and anyone interested in the issues they raise would do well to experience them in person. STAR POWER: The thrill at All the Stars at MichaelKate comes from a different source, or rather many different sources, and represents the complex, constantly evolving community of artists who live and work here today. One is hardly inside the front door before being confronted by a pair of bold statements. Hugh Margerum’s dreamy abstract “Horizon” takes the hallucinatory Technicolor of a Santa Barbara sunset apart and puts it back together as a shimmering stack of horizontal lines. Skye Gwilliam’s “Crystalline” pairs a Zen-like jigsaw puzzle of concentric trapezoids with a muted palette of gray and white to create a memorable image that updates the rigor of Jasper Johns for a new century. With so many great artists in the mix, it’s hard to know who to single out; everyone’s list of favorites is likely to be different. Trevor Gordon’s ink and pencil drawing on paper of a camouflage-clad eagle clutching a tiny King Kong struck my fancy, as did Linda Saccoccio’s edgy, large narrative canvas titled “The Rocks.” James Paul Lambert created his majestic diptych “Miramar No. ” especially for this show, and it is a tour de force of sculptural energy and wood-grain craft. And lest you think this is all about the abstract, Larry Iwerks contributes a pair of landscapes that look equally amazing, arrayed against the looser nonrepresentational gestures of Ian Putnam and R. Nelson Parrish. Finally, there’s a strange and delicate collage by Doug Pearsall called “Smilee” that combines the evidence of the artist’s hand with the throwaway quality of an objet ■ trouvé.

ibraries, once the physical trove of a civilization’s collected knowledge and wisdom, are quickly going the way of the dinosaur. Printed books, after a 550-year run as the sacred vessel of the written word, are also fast becoming obsolete. The finality of these statements is alluded to by the title of the show currently on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, Requiem for the Bibliophile. However, this intellectually stimulating exhibition is generally not quite as severe as the title might suggest. Most of the work here represents a self-consciously nostalgic examination of the power that books and libraries have had over the course of civilization and how current technology is upending this cultural institution. Emily Jacir’s series of photographic prints are part of a much larger installation documenting the remains of 30,000 books that were confiscated from Palestinian homes by Israeli forces in 1948. Jacir’s prints focus on the human traces left within the books by the original owners, which in turn highlight the inhumanity of denying people their written culture. Jorge Méndez Blake’s “Empty Bookshelf VII” presents the skeletal remains of the newly book-free library. It is part of a near future when we will have to decide how to reallocate these vacant public spaces. One of the highlights of the exhibition comes from the series of artifacts collected or created by artist David Horvitz during two pilgrimages along the California coast. Horvitz’s “Local History” began with a collection of photographs of the artist standing anonymously with his back to the camera on 50 public beaches. These images were then uploaded to Wikipedia as open source documentation of each location before being removed by the website’s moderators. Having been thwarted by the newly appointed curators of the world’s largest knowledge repository, Horvitz cleverly printed and bound the documentation of his previous efforts, made his way back along the California coast, and covertly implanted his own book into the history section of every library along the way. The other standout in the exhibition is Nancy Gifford’s not-to-be-missed “Lament.” Standing at 10 feet by 32 feet, this monumental work is jaw-droppingly beautiful, and (for the true bibliophile) equally disturbing. Created by removing the covers from antique books, the existence of the work depends upon the large-scale desecration of what many might believe to be sacrosanct. And while it is not rare for an artist to take on cultural taboos of this nature, it is rare to see it done with such finesse. The result is a powerful piece of work that must be taken in slowly, from across the room, where it can be examined in its totality, as well as up close, where the individual selection and placement of titles gains extra meaning. Ironically, of all the pieces on display in Requiem for the Bibliophile, Gifford’s “Lament” is perhaps least deserving of that title. While so many of these artists express some level of mourning for the loss of what has until very recently been precious, Gifford’s installation most forcefully forces us to confront a future where the only appropriate emotional response to the destruction of books ■ and the libraries that hold them is quaint nostalgia.

COFFEE, TEA, OR CIRCLE BAR B? (from left) Jenna Scanlon, Tiffany Story, and Gerry Hansen play flight attendants in Boeing Boeing.

Characterized by his husky, burnished voice and ebullient sense of swing, legendary crooner Tony Bennett is a master whose interpretations have shaped the great American songbook.

CIRCLE BAR B LEAVES ON A JET PLANE

ith one last show to go before the Central Coast’s longest-running authentic dinner theater packs its props and exits the Circle Bar B barn in Refugio Canyon, it’s fitting that the choice by Charles Donelan is a play that’s been around nearly as long as the theater has. When Marc Camoletti’s Boeing Boeing premiered in 1962, it was actually ahead of its time. The play’s focus on the way that Parisian lothario Bernard juggles three different fiancées, each of a different nationality, all of them flight attendants (thus the title), didn’t become a hit until 1965, when a seven-year run at the Duchess Theatre in London set it on its way to becoming the most produced French play of all time. And, while the cringe-worthy premise may imply an awkward datedness to the play’s material, apparently the opposite is true, as demonstrated by the success of the 2008 Broadway revival staged by Matthew Warchus, which won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play in that season. Talking with Susie Couch, who produces the shows at Circle Bar B along with her husband, David, and who will play the role of Berthe, Bernard’s French housekeeper, I found I could understand the appeal of Boeing Boeing at a moment when the theater is going, going, and without a definite destination announced. “It might be our silliest show ever,” Couch said, which means, as anyone familiar with such recent triumphs as The Fox on the Fairway will attest, very silly, indeed. “The way it has been working in rehearsal, we’ve been saying ‘yes’ to just about everything. Like, someone will ask, ‘Is a spit-take too much?’ and then we all look at each other, and it’s like, ‘Too much for the last show? No way. It stays.’ ” Couch and director Gerry Hansen have been talking about doing Boeing Boeing since the Tony Awards in 2008, but rights for the play were tied up until just this year. Hansen, who teaches theater at UCSB and runs the school’s innovative Shakespeare in the Park program, is an expert director of commedia dell’arte, the Italian tradition in which highly skilled actors perform stylized roles requiring both acrobatic skills and split-second timing. She will have a great cast to work with, including Indy Award winners Tiffany Story and Jenna Scanlon. Boeing Boeing, with its panoply of slamming doors, sudden entrances, and high-flying leaps over furniture, will challenge them, as Couch asserts it is “a very hard play to pull off — maybe even more difficult physically than Noises Off.” In an interesting side note not atypical of the community that’s formed over the years around this Santa Barbara theater institution, the curtain call will be a dance to the music from the soundtrack to the film Boeing Boeing. Neal Hefti, the jazz trumpeter and composer who wrote the theme music for The Odd Couple, also wrote the music for the film of this play, and when he heard that Circle Bar B was doing the show, his son stepped forward to offer his assistance and the option of using his father’s music. It’s just one more touch of serendipitous synergy pointing toward a memorable exit for this beloved institution. As far as prospects for the theater’s new home, Susie was guardedly optimistic in her response.“We have weird, strange, and interesting prospects,” she said,“and we’re considering everything.” Let’s hope that the show will go on and, in the meantime, that this double Boeing will land its jokes and disembark laughter.

TEN YEARS OF

DUB SIDE OF THE MOON

n many ways, the story of the Easy Star All-Stars can be chalked up to a happy accident. Back in 1996, and fairly unfazed by the world of classic rock, a young musician named Michael Goldwasser was coerced into reimagining Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon as a roots-reggae album. Together with Victor “Tiklah” Axelrod, the New York producer went to work. What he came away with would go on to become one of the best-selling reggae records of the decade. Together with his Easy Star All-Star team, Goldwasser would follow up Dub Side of the Moon with a series of dubby cover albums: 2006’s Radiodread, a front-to-back reggaefication of Radiohead’s OK Computer; 2009’s Beatles take, Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band; and 2012’s Thrillah, a remake of Michael Jackson’s career-launching 1982 classic. This year, Goldwasser and the Easy Star All-Stars celebrate Dub Side of the Moon’s 10-year anniversary with a special rerelease of the album, as well as a tour featuring new and old members performing Dub Side in its entirety. This Monday, September 22, the band heads to SOhO to celebrate. In anticipation, The Santa Barbara Independent caught up with Goldwasser over the phone from his New York City home to discuss the surprising success — and grand implications — of Dub Side’s rise. Am I correct in thinking that Dub Side of the Moon was not actually your idea? It was definitely not my idea. [Laughs.] I wasn’t a big Pink Floyd fan. I may have heard the album in its entirety before, but it would have been in passing, like maybe at a party or something. I never sat down and listened to Dark Side of the Moon, though. As a teenager I was more into reggae, hip-hop, R&B, funk, jazz, stuff like that. Of course I heard classic rock because you couldn’t really avoid it, especially in America, but I didn’t really gravitate toward it. How have you seen the reggae-consuming public change over the last 10 years? I’ve seen a significant change in the reggae fanbase in the U.S. in the last 10 years, and certainly in the last 20 years, because there are so many younger, homegrown reggae bands here. There are tons of kids out there who got into reggae by way of American reggae bands. It used to be if I went to a reggae festival, say here in New York, it would be mostly West Indians and most or all of the artists would be West Indian or Jamaican. I went to a festival called Cali Roots in Monterey this past May, and over the course of the weekend, there were something like 15,000 people there, and the main draw was American reggae acts. I think there were three Jamaican groups on the whole bill. I meet fans and musicians now who tell me they got into reggae by listening to Dub Side of the Moon, which blows my mind.

MICHAEL GOLDWASSER REMINISCES ON A DECADE OF REGGAE COVERS by Aly Comingore Looking back, which cover album presented the biggest challenge? They were all challenging in their own way. Radiodread was a pretty big challenge. On one side there were the expectations — Dub Side of the Moon sold well and it got a lot of critical acclaim, so following it up with something good came with some increased pressure. We chose OK Computer for a lot of reasons, but it is an extremely complex album, especially when it comes to time signatures. Seven out of the 12 songs on that album are not in 4/4 time at all, or they change time signatures a whole bunch of times. Almost all reggae before we did Dub Side of the Moon is in 4/4 time. I think “Paranoid Android” changes time signatures something like 13 times. Eventually I figured it out, but it was definitely a challenge to wrap my head around it. But Thrillah was a challenge just because Thriller was one of my favorite albums of all time. It was very personal to me. I wanted so badly to pay respect to that album. That this album is still selling well and finding new fans a decade later is quite the accomplishment. Looking back, what do you take away from its success? With Dub Side of the Moon, and all the stuff I’ve produced for Easy Dub AllStars, I think it’s proven that musical boundaries are false. Music should and very easily does transcend boundaries, as long as you allow people the freedom to accept it. There were many naysayers when we first announced that we were doing Dub Side of the Moon. Pink Floyd fans, rock fans said it was going to suck, that there was no way it was going to be good. I’d say at least 90-95 percent of the responses we got from those people proved that we changed their minds. I know that we’ve brought a lot more people into the reggae camp and introduced a lot of reggae fans to rock music. The lesson is that good music is good music, and we shouldn’t be thinking about categories. Just make music and listen to music and be free.

PUP FICTION The Drop. Tom Hardy, James Gandolﬁni, and Noomi Rapace star in a ﬁlm written by Dennis Lehane and directed by Michaël R. Roskam. Reviewed by D.J. Palladino

om Hardy provides an off-screen soliloquy late on in The Drop that begins, “There are some sins that you just can’t come back from.” As Bob, he’s already given us context for such talk. We see him start each day at the 8 a.m. mass at Saint Dominic’s. This is a Dennis Lehane story, so you know the soliloquy will be swallowed up in more abysmal speculations. Even the church has its problems: Saint Dom’s is due for the wrecking ball in the next few weeks. “It’s gonna be condos with stained-glass windows,” says Detective Torres, Bob’s miniature grand inquisitor. In many ways, this great crime drama belongs to Hardy. His expression is eloquent, even when studiously avoiding eye contact in big conversations, like those with his damaged friend Nadia (Noomi Rapace). He has the whole movie mapped on his face — he’s solemn and slow, but you sense that a lot of dreadful stuff is coming. His main foil is Cousin Marv (James Gandolfini), a has-been neighborhood don. Gandolfini long ago learned to embody the

familiar and evil simultaneously, and his interactions with Bob are so perfect it breaks your heart again that this great and sophisticated heavy is gone forever. Bob and Marv run a bar (it used to be Marv’s) that occasionally gets used as a cash drop by some ﬁerce Chechen gangsters. Meanwhile, Marv has problems supporting his father, and Bob ﬁnds a pitbull puppy in a trash can. Halfway through, it’s not at all clear how any of these elements will coalesce. The best part of the movie, however, happens right after Bob’s soliloquy on sin, in a scene that might faintly remind you of Lehane’s Mystic River, but with an Elmore Leonard twist. In it, we learn that dreamers and posers don’t stand a chance stacked up against people who show up and do their jobs without questioning and, it’s sad to note, with a view of the world that’s moved beyond sin.

Thundercloud. Kelly Slater, Reef McIntosh, and Mark Healey star in a documentary written and directed by Talon Clemow. Reviewed by Ethan Stewart

Tour the tastes of Germany, Belgium and Bavaria’s finest.

here are surf films with mainstream appeal, and then there are surf movies that only work for those already suffering from the surf disease. The soon-tobe-released documentary Thundercloud is without a doubt a card-carrying member of the latter … sort of. Approximately two hours long, Thundercloud chronicles one particular wave in Fiji known to surfers everywhere as Cloudbreak. A roping and often perfect tropical lefthander just off the private island of Tavarua, Cloudbreak has been a fantasy wave of sorts for traveling and day-dreaming surfers since its discovery in the early 1970s. However, until just a few years ago, the wave was a private affair with exclusive surfing rights belonging to only those who ponied up the big bucks and stayed at the surf resort on Tavarua. This all changed a few years ago when the wave went public, a twist of fate that came just in time for a historic and monstrous swell in June 2012. It is that swell that is the meat and potatoes of Thundercloud. Filmmaker Talon Clemow, who shot and directed and produced and edited the whole movie, does an exhaustive job capturing the truly epic surfing that went down that day. Even better, he peppers in frequent interviews with the surfers themselves, giving ample screen time to the crazy spectrum of professional and big-wave surfers on hand for those fateful sessions. Everyone from Kelly Slater and Shane Dorian to Mark Healey, Greg Long, and Reef McIntosh score jaw-dropping and dredging lefthander death pits and also give candid commentary

about the waves at hand. The end result is a surf nerd’s wet dream and is guaranteed to make even the most green of wave sliders pledge to visit Cloudbreak someday. However, as can often be a problem when a storyteller is forced to spin a yarn about a place rich with surf history and dynamic characters, the narrative gets away from Clemow as the ﬁlm also ambitiously tries to tell the history of Tavarua Island, the associated property-rights struggle, and the series of swells in 2010 and 2011 that led up to the fabled ’12 orgy. His storytelling instincts were right, but the execution is ﬂawed or, at the very least, about an hour too ■ long.

MOVIE GUIDE

Edited by Aly Comingore

The following films are playing in Santa Barbara FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, THROUGH THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. Descriptions followed by initials — AC (Aly Comingore), DJP (D.J. Palladino) and KS (Kit Steinkellner) — have been taken from our critics’ reviews, which can be read in full at independent.com. The symbol ✯ indicates the film is recommended.

FIRST LOOKS ✯ The Drop

(106 mins.; R: some strong violence, pervasive language) Reviewed on page 59. Paseo Nuevo

My Old Lady (107 mins.; PG-13: thematic material, some sexual references)

It’s hard not to blame Israel Horovitz for the confounding frustration of My Old Lady. Blessed with a stellar cast (Kevin Kline, Kristin Scott Thomas, Maggie Smith) and a literal lifetime to plot his directorial debut (the playwright is 75 years old), it’s actually a wonder as to how he missed so many marks. The story follows Kline’s Mathias (his friends call him Jim) as he travels to France to visit (and sell) a piece of property left to him by his estranged (and now deceased) father. The trouble is that an old woman (Smith) is not only living in the apartment, but legally bound to stay there until she dies, per some bizarre French real estate law. Of course, Mathias is broke and desperate and, as we learn, thoroughly emotionally screwed up, so the news sends him into a quick, predictable downward spiral. Meanwhile, Smith’s “old lady” offers up stern pushback, as well as a few wise life lessons. Somewhere in there, her daughter (Scott Thomas) shows up, unleashes a fury of French anger, and then eventually realizes just how similar she and Mathias are. While My Old Lady suffers from a weak script, unbelievable characterizations, and conflict/resolution issues, it’s the unevenness of the production that ultimately leads to its downfall. While the premise is ripe for comedy — and Kline is more than game for the task — Horovitz weaves a story that’s darker and more disturbing than anything we think we’re getting into. Add to that a lot of forcedfeeling reveals late in the film, and you’ve got the makings for a dramedy with no laughs and little investment potential.

tHe INDepeNDeNt

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF SEPTEMBER  ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): These horoscopes I write for you aren’t primarily meant to predict the future. They are more about uncovering hidden potentials and desirable possibilities that are stirring below the surface right now. When I’m doing my job well, I help you identify those seeds so you can cultivate them proactively. Bearing that in mind, I’ll pose three pertinent questions: () What experiments might stir up more intimacy in the relationships you want to deepen? () What could you change about yourself to attract more of the love and care you want? () Is there anything you can do to diminish the sting of bad memories about past romantic encounters, thereby freeing you to love with more abandon?

that you will stop reading my horoscopes. But I’m willing to take that risk, and I’m prepared to admit that I could be wrong. But I don’t think I am wrong. So here’s what I have to say: There is a sense in which the source of your wound is potentially also the source of the “medicine” that will heal the wound. What hurt you could ﬁx you. But you must be careful not to interpret this masochistically. You can’t aﬀord to be too literal. I’m not saying that the source of your pain is trustworthy or has good intentions. Be cagey as you learn how to get the cure you need.

LEO

(Apr. 20 - May 20): The old Latin motto Gradu diverso, via una can be translated as either “continuing on the same road, but with a diﬀerent stride” or “going the same way, but changing your pace.” I think this is excellent advice for you, Taurus. By my reckoning, you are on the correct path. You are headed in the right direction. But you need to shift your approach a bit — not a lot, just a little. You’ve got to make some minor adjustments in the way you ﬂow.

(July 23 - Aug. 22): The prestigious New England Journal of Medicine published a study with a conclusion we might expect to see in a tabloid newspaper or satirical website. It reported that there is a correlation between chocolate consumption and Nobel Prizes. Those countries whose citizens eat more chocolate have also produced an inordinate number of Nobel laureates. So does this mean that chocolate makes you smarter, as some other studies have also suggested? Maybe, the report concluded. Since it is especially important for you to be at the height of your mental powers in the coming weeks, Leo, why not experiment with this possibility?

GEMINI

VIRGO

(May 21 - June 20): For years, Donna and George Lewis used a 33-pound, oval-shaped rock as a doorstop in their Tennessee home. Later they moved it to their garden. Then one day George analyzed it with his metal detector and realized it had unusual properties. He took it to scientists who informed him it was a rare and valuable four-and-a-half-billion-year-old meteorite. With this as our subtext, Gemini, I’m asking you if there might be some aspect of your life that is more precious than you imagine. Now is a favorable time to ﬁnd out and make appropriate adjustments in your behavior.

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): I rarely waste my time trying to convert the “skeptics” who attack astrology with a hostile zeal that belies their supposed scientific objectivity. They’re often as dogmatic and closed-minded as any fundamentalist religious nut. When I’m in a tricky mood, though, I might tell them about the “Crawford Perspectives,” a highly rated Wall Street investment publication that relies extensively on astrological analysis. Or I might quote the wealthy financier J.P. Morgan, who testified that “Millionaires don’t use astrology; billionaires do.” That brings us to my main point, Virgo: The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to put in motion plans to get richer quicker. Take advantage!

TAURUS

CANCER (June 21 - July 22): I’ve got a radical proposal, Cancerian. It might oﬀend you. You may think I’m so far oﬀ the mark

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): When Libra-born Mohandas Gandhi was 19, he moved to London from his native India to study law. Soon he got caught up in the eﬀort to become an English gentleman. He took elocution lessons and learned to dance. He bought ﬁne clothes and a gold watch-chain. Each morning he stood before a giant mirror and fussed with his hair and necktie until they were perfect. In retrospect, this phase of his life seems irrelevant. Years later, he was a barefoot rebel leader using nonviolent civil disobedience to help end the British rule of India, often wearing a loincloth and shawl made of fabric he wove himself. With this as your inspiration, Libra, identify aspects of your current life that contribute little to the soul you must eventually become.

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): The good news is that America has more trees than it did 100 years ago. Aggressive efforts to replace the decimated old-growth forests have paid off. The bad news is that the new forests have a far less diverse selection of tree species than the originals. The fresh batches are often crowded into smaller spaces, so wildfires are more massive and devastating. And because so many of the forests are young, they host a reduced diversity of plant and animal life. All in all, the increased quantity is wonderful, the lower quality not so wonderful. Is there a lesson here for you? I think so. In your upcoming decisions, favor established quality over novel quantity.

SCORPIO

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): If Pope Francis isn’t traveling, he comes out to meet the public in St. Peter’s Square every Wednesday. During one such event last January, he took a few moments to bestow tender attention on a talking parrot that belonged to a male stripper. I foresee a comparable anomaly happening for you in the coming days. A part of you that is wild or outré will be blessed by contact with what’s holy or sublime. Or maybe a beastly aspect of your nature that doesn’t normally get much respect will receive a divine favor.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): This might be controversial, but I suspect that for now your emphasis shouldn’t be on sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Instead, your specialties should be hard-earned intimacy, altered states that are solely the result of deep introspection, and music that arouses reverence and other sacred emotions. You are entering a phase when crafty power is less important than vigorous receptivity; when success is not nearly as interesting as meaningfulness; and when what you already understand is less valuable than what you can imagine and create.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): You are entering a phase when you will reap rich rewards by nurturing the health of your favorite posse, ensemble, or organization. How is the group’s collective mental health? Are there any festering rifts? Any apathetic attitudes or weakening resolves? I choose you to be the leader who builds solidarity and cultivates consensus. I ask you to think creatively about how to make sure everyone’s individual goals synergize with the greater good. Are you familiar with the Arabic word taarradhin? It means a compromise that allows everyone to win — a reconciliation in which no one loses face.

AQUARIUS

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): “My deﬁnition of a devil is a god who has not been recognized,” said mythologist Joseph Campbell. “It is a power in you to which you have not given expression, and you push it back. And then, like all repressed energy, it builds up and becomes dangerous to the position you’re trying to hold.” Do you agree, Pisces? I hope so because you will soon be entering the Get Better Acquainted with Your Devil Phase of your astrological cycle, to be immediately followed by the Transform Your Devil into a God Phase. To get the party started, ask yourself this question: What is the power in you to which you have not given expression? Homework: Name something you could change about yourself that would enhance your love life. Testify at Truthrooster@gmail.com.

Mixer of the Week Fever-Tree Elderﬂower Tonic Water: Hot days make icy liquor drinks sound exquisite, but that old vodka tonic just won’t cut it in today’s craft cocktail scene. This mixer — made by Fever‑Tree founders Charles Rolls and Tim Warrilow from hand‑picked English elderflowers and specially selected quinine trees in the middle of Africa — brings a flavorful punch to your cup while remaining quite easy to pour without getting sweaty. Just fill glass with ice, dump in a couple shots of vodka, and add a bottle of the elderflower tonic for a quick, refreshing beverage. It’s got that familiar tonic bite, but with rounded tropical flavors to keep things interesting. See fever‑tree.com.

REEL DEAL: Lure Fish House may open next year at La Cumbre Plaza in a space once occupied by Ruth’s Chris Steak House.

The Lure of La Cumbre

CAFÉ DEL SOL CLOSES: Columnist Richard

Mineards, in last week’s edition of the Montecito Journal, said that Café del Sol restaurant at  Los Patos Way in Montecito has closed its doors permanently after nearly 50 years in business. Rick Sanders, owner of the property, is planning to keep the space an eatery.

JOHN PALMINTERI

n August 15, 2013, I published this message from reader Nancy: “Hi John, We just ate at Lure Fish House at  California St. in Ventura today, and it has fantastic food, gorgeous decor and ambiance, super friendly staff, great prices, extensive drink menu, excellent coffee, etc. I asked the waitress if they are coming to Santa Barbara, per chance, and she said yes! She seemed to think it will be on upper State near a department store.” During the following year, the story cooled off a bit, and I didn’t receive any more updates about the seafood eatery’s voyage to the South Coast. Recently I was able to reach management at Lure Fish House and was told they are in negotiations with La Cumbre Plaza,  South Hope Avenue, to take over the space previously occupied by Ruth’s Chris Steak House, immediately next to Macy’s. I’m told that if the deal goes through, it will be finalized in mid-September. Details were few and far between, but I was able to find out that, if all goes well, Lure Fish House will open sometime next year and take over two-thirds of Ruth’s Chris instead of the entire location. I don’t know what business will occupy the remaining third. Lure Fish House has locations in Ventura, Camarillo, and Westlake. Its website offers this description of the eatery: “Lure Fish House was created with the goal of providing you with a Top Tier Seafood Experience featuring fresh and sustainable seafood from trusted sources. Our restaurant strives to provide locally caught seafood, organically grown local produce, and wines from local vineyards whenever possible. We also feature a full bar with specialty cocktails, and an oyster bar serving a variety of fresh items that can vary daily. Lure specializes in Mesquite charbroiled seafood while also providing uniquely prepared selections by our chef. We print our menus daily to reflect availability and guarantee freshness. Our primary goal is to provide you, our guest, a fun and exciting seafood experience. So just remember, if you are looking for a healthy and delicious dish … eat more fish!”

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, 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 (866)‑960‑8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://altisource.com/resware/ TrusteeServicesSearch.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2013‑04315‑CA.

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 at 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 outstanding liens 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.
