Author and radio producer Leslie Westbrook said she was “surprised and pretty darn excited” when she learned she’d won a Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism award from the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation. Her radio report, “Art, Drink and Gentrification in the Funk Zone,” produced for KCBX, and featured at independent. com/multimedia last September, gained her a winning spot hot on the heels of no less than Rick Steves and the Frommer’s travel-guide folks. “Just like Dorothy in Oz, my own backyard provided fodder for a story that held international appeal and fulfilled my heart’s desire,” Westbrook said. “I’m only sorry I wasn’t in Iceland, where they announced the winners.”

PAU L WELLM AN
by KELSEY BRUGGER, TYLER HAYDEN, LYZ HOFFMAN, MATT KETTMANN, and NICK WELSH, with INDEPENDENT STAFF
news briefs LAW & DISORDER
A 23-year-old Salinas man was arrested last week for allegedly raping a 19-year-old UCSB student at an Isla Vista fraternity house. Foot Patrol deputies apprehended Victor Farias at about 10:40 a.m. on 10/1 and found photos on his cell phone related to the incident. Farias had reportedly been visiting a friend who was a member of the fraternity. Farias was already on probation in Santa Barbara for burglary charges and is being held in County Jail without bail. Four suspects with alleged ties to the Mexican Mafia were arrested 10/1 on charges of conspiracy to commit extortion. Taken into custody were Benjamin Ybarra, 36, of Santa Barbara; Jesse Martin Enriquez, 35, of Santa Barbara; Franco Eric Aguiniga, 24, of Lompoc; and Ruben Jose Regalado Jr., 34, of Santa Maria. Authorities said the four had conspired to extort money from area residents — involved in both criminal and legitimate activities — on behalf of the notorious prison-based gang. PAU L WELLM AN
FIRED UP: Upward of 80 people packed the supervisors’ hearing room this week to voice their stance on Measure P. Most people waved campaign signs, with proponents sporting blue shirts and opponents wearing green ones.
Dodging Oil Slicks Measure P Legality Hits the Board and the Fan
T
BY LY Z H O F F M A N
he supervisors tried to make one thing clear this week: They had only two options with Measure P after the Water Guardians quickly snagged 16,000 signatures this spring in support of a ban on new fracking, acidizing, and cyclic steam injection oil wells. They could either place the item on the November ballot or adopt it right then and there. And on Tuesday, the supervisors found themselves in another tight spot, asked to approve protocols for handling petitions to opt out of the ban if it passes next month. After four hours of public testimony from both sides — some wore blue shirts, some wore green shirts, all packed the room to the consternation of the fire marshal — the supervisors voted 3-2 in favor of the protocols for handling takings and vested rights. Takings claims would generally be filed by royalty owners, alleging the measure deprived them of reaping the financial benefits of their land; assertions of vested rights would more likely come from oil companies wondering if their projects could proceed. Approved by supervisors Salud Carbajal, Janet Wolf, and Doreen Farr (who haven’t taken stances on the measure) and decried by supervisors Peter Adam and Steve Lavagnino (who have spoken out against the initiative), the guidelines will dictate how such exceptions claims get processed. While the “Yes on P” supporters commended the protocols, the “No” side said the procedures didn’t make them feel secure that their existing drilling operations would be allowed to continue or that they were any less likely to sue the county if the measure passes. County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni reiterated his belief that the initiative would put the county at legal risk but 10
THE INDEPENDENT
that the opt-out options could somewhat lessen the danger. In the hot seat, Ghizzoni suggested that the supervisors look into passing an amendment post-election expressly exempting existing operations, which he said would “remove a lot of risk and uncertainty.” Measure P supporters — including lawyers from the Environmental Defense Center (EDC) — have long maintained that the phrase “vested rights” is the legalese equivalent of “existing operations.” But when asked if he would have written Measure P differently, Ghizzoni made himself clear: “Yes, if we were starting with a fresh piece of paper, I would be looking hard at the California Supreme Court statements that land-use regulations customarily exempt existing uses to avoid discussions like the one we’re having.”
DRILLING FOR LAWSUITS
Several prominent Santa Barbara attorneys have said that if there’s one certainty about Measure P, it’s that it will keep their colleagues busy fighting with the county and with each other. For example, Linda Krop, chief counsel for the EDC, disagreed with Ghizzoni that a post-election amendment would be necessary, saying that the state already provides such protections for the county. Krop — as well as an attorney for the Bay Area law firm that wrote Measure P with help from EDC lawyers — also challenged the near-guarantee from county insiders and Beth Marino, vice president for legal and corporate affairs at Santa Maria Energy, that if the measure passes on November 4, oil companies will claim the law treads on the state’s regulatory turf, especially given Senate Bill , which aims to tighten California’s grip on fracking and acidizing (but not
october 9, 2014
cyclic steam injection) operations. Krop called a state preemption challenge “a red herring,” as the county has the purview to control land uses. Marino said that “development of the state’s resources is a statewide concern.” Speakers at Tuesday’s meeting all but promised smaller lawsuits, and the county, which isn’t insured for takings damages, has already received two written threats, Ghizzoni said. Making the biggest hay among the area’s oil companies is the issue of vested rights, granted only when “substantial” work on a project has been conducted and with “substantial” liabilities incurred in reliance of a permit — with the meaning of “substantial” likely differing case-bycase, Ghizzoni explained. Industry officials also questioned what existing operations would be viewed as “vested,” as oil fields routinely require new permits for individual wells and infrastructure. Although the “Yes on P” side vehemently maintains that the measure doesn’t apply to current projects or well-maintenance activities, county Energy Division Director Kevin Drude has said that every oil well, even those used for conventional drilling, will eventually need acid treatment for buildup removal. How that practice would be interpreted remains unclear, he said. These concerns have led oil industry officials to speculate that while Measure P may not immediately affect existing operations, it could bring the majority of Santa Barbara’s industry to a screeching halt within five years. For Santa Maria Energy, the roadblock could come even sooner, Marino said, noting that the company’s final permit for its 136-well cyclic-steaming project — which brought that technique into county consciousness one year ago — isn’t coming until cont’d page 12 early next year.
Kimberly Kreis (pictured), arrested in April after a deadly car crash on Highway 101, pleaded not guilty this week to multiple charges including felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor DUI. Authorities declined to charge Kreis with vehicular manslaughter because they were unsure they could prove she was criminally liable for the accident’s deaths. In the middle of the night on 4/21, Kreis slammed into a Mazda that a few minutes earlier had hit the highway’s guardrail and flipped onto its roof. The driver was the only one of the Mazda’s four occupants to survive, and authorities believe he had fallen asleep at the wheel.
One of four men who robbed a Milpas Street jewelry store four years ago will spend more than 24 years in state prison. In April 2010, 35-year-old Jose Antonio Aviles — along with Jose Angel Magdaleno and two other suspects — stole more than $750,000 worth of cash and jewelry after forcing the store’s owner, his wife, and an elderly employee into the back of the store at gunpoint and restraining them with zip ties and duct tape. Aviles threatened to kill the owner if he reported the incident to the police. Magdaleno later fled to Mexico, and the two other suspects remain unidentified.

As many as 20,000 people throughout Santa Barbara and Montecito lost power for a few hours last week when a bank of transformers failed at a Southern California Edison (SCE) substation on Gutierrez Street. The blackout started at around 5:30 p.m. on 10/2 and canceled the Tony Bennett show at the Granada Theatre. (It’s been rescheduled for 10/12.) The next day at 7 a.m., 2,648 SCE customers were blacked out again for a few hours, and later that night around 1,400 temporarily went without power once more until equipment issues were identified and repaired. Sebastian Aldana (pictured), one of the founding members of the Milpas Community Association (MCA), was asked to part company with the group because he’s one of several plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the City of Santa Barbara challenging the current at-large election system. Aldana, who has run for City Council before and now serves as chair of the Neighborhood Advisory Council, is a plaintiff in the lawsuit to compel the City of Santa Barbara to elect councilmembers by districts instead. Sharon Byrne (also pictured), cofounder with Aldana of the MCA, said, “We need to get stuff done by working with the city, and you don’t do that by suing.” Byrne said the organization has taken no posi-

to $5,000. City finance administrator Bob Samario said he’s not sure how many artists might be positively affected by the change, but estimated it could cost City Hall “a few thousand dollars a year in potential revenue.” Samario also acknowledged that the paperwork involved in tracking such sales and collecting taxes is not without its costs.

Were it not for UCSB light wizard Shuji Nakamura and his colleagues, the long-lasting LED bulbs at our homes and work — not to mention the glowing screens of our computers and smartphones — wouldn’t exist today. That’s because Nakamura and Japanese scientists Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano “succeeded where everyone else had failed,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced Tuesday in awarding the trio the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics for “the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes, GOOD COMPANY: Dr. Shuji Nakamura is the which has enabled bright and sixth UCSB faculty member to win a Nobel Prize. energy-saving white light sources.” While red and green LEDs had been around for some time when the team first produced blue light beams from their semiconductors in the early 1990s, the third diode color finally allowed the creation of white light. Now, the white LED lamp “holds great promise for increasing the quality of life for over 1.5 billion people around the world who lack access to electricity grids,” the academy said. “Due to low-power requirements, it can be powered by cheap local solar power.” About one-fourth of world electricity consumption is used for lighting purposes; LEDs last up to 100,000 hours, compared to 1,000 for incandescent bulbs and 10,000 hours for fluorescent lights. “Incandescent lightbulbs lit the 20th century; the 21st century will be lit by LED lamps,” the academy said. Nakamura was born in 1954 in Ehime, Japan, and he completed his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Tokushima, Japan. He joined UCSB’s faculty in 2000 and is codirector of its Solid State Lighting & Energy Electronics Center. Over the years, Nakamura pioneered a number of advancements, such as his development of semiconducting technology using gallium nitrides and his breakthrough work on light emitters. He becomes the sixth UCSB faculty member to win a Nobel Prize. “It is very satisfying to see that my dream of LED lighting has become a reality,” Nakamura said Tuesday. “I hope that energy-efficient LED lightbulbs will help reduce energy use and lower the cost of lighting worldwide.” Nakamura, Akasaki, and Amano will split a prize of $1.1 million awarded in Stockholm on December 10. — Tyler Hayden

COUNTY Two separate, nonfatal great white shark attacks on kayakers occurred an hour apart on 10/3 near Vandenberg Air Force Base. The first attack occurred around noon when a white shark “dumped” a kayaker into the ocean; he was rescued and brought to shore. A second attack occurred about an hour later, when a white shark an estimated 18-20 feet in length attacked a kayaker from below, ejecting the kayaker 10 feet in the air and leaving bite marks on the underside of his kayak; he was also rescued and transported to shore. No direct bites on either of the men were reported in the incidents. The encounters occurred less than 24 hours after a nonfatal shark attack on a Vandenberg employee prompted the temporary shutdown of Surf, Wall, and Minuteman beaches. cont’d page 13

DRILLING FOR NUMBERS
At a seminar held earlier this month, Marino and other Santa Maria Energy representatives — media-shy CEO David Pratt made an appearance, too — addressed what they said were “tall tales as tall as Bigfoot and as scary as the Loch Ness Monster” perpetrated by P supporters. Chief among them is a concern that the company plans on drilling more than 7,000 cyclic steam injection wells in the years to come. The expansion estimate was included in an SEC filing when the company had planned to merge with a firm earlier this year. Santa Maria Energy spokesperson Bob Poole shrugged that number off, pointing to the four years it took the company to get just 136 wells approved and saying that future plans are “not defined.” All of Santa Maria Energy’s plans and many of those of other area operators will depend on what happens November 4. Currently, approximately 1,500 oil wells dot the county — all of which are north of Gaviota — and about one-third of them use cyclic steam injection, said Drude. Fracked wells and applications for fracking are nonexistent, Drude said, and have been since the county enacted stringent rules in 2011 after it caught Venoco engaging in the controversial practice. While fracking and acidizing techniques break and dissolve rock formations, the cyclic steam process injects steam into the ground to thin the oil. (Or, as Santa Maria Energy representatives said at their seminar, the process is like putting honey in the microwave to thin it for your morning toast.) But steaming produces four times the greenhouse-gas emissions of conventional drilling, Drude said, calling it a “carbon intensive” process. Concerns over a spike in cyclic steam injection wells — most of the 900 wells on the county’s radar would use that method — and consequent emissions are partly what spurred the Water Guardians to act on the issue now rather than wait until 2016 as some groups reportedly advised them to do. Studies pointing to well casing failures, concerns about subsequent aquifer contamination, and fears of surface expressions like that from a cyclic steam well in Kern County that sucked an oil field worker underground to his death are just some of the warnings oft invoked by the “Yes” campaign against allowing the industry to expand. “Just like anything in life, there are failures. Failures do happen,” Drude said. But, he added, in his 24 years working for the department, he hasn’t encountered any well failures.
DRILLING FOR VOTES
Not surprisingly, opponents of Measure P have clobbered the competition on the fundraising front, amassing $4.5 million in donations mostly from Californians for Energy Independence, a statewide political committee backed by Chevron, ExxonMobil, and smaller Santa Barbara County operators. Proponents have raised $258,000. “No” ads have been plastered on television for weeks, but the “Yes” side says it will have its first television ad coming soon. In the meantime, both camps are focusing on voter outreach and registration, with Isla Vista high on the priority list, especially for supporters. Reelection campaigns for Assemblymember Das Williams (an early Measure P supporter) and Congressmember Lois Capps (who hasn’t taken a position) have helped get approximately 4,000 students registered, with many saying 7,000-8,000 students would be a goal for “Yes.” Supporters are hoping that races for the Isla Vista Recreation & Parks District and the Santa Barbara City College trustees will mobilize young voters during a midterm election lacking larger hot-button issues. The county firefighters union, the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association, and the Santa Barbara Police Officers Association have all endorsed the “No” side, alleging that Measure P would subtract from crucial county funding. Basing their argument on the belief that existing operations will be gone in a matter of years, opponents contend that the $20 million the oil industry pays in property taxes to the county — most of which goes to schools, the General Fund, and County Fire — would disappear along with current and future jobs. Not going away anytime soon is the need for oil, said Santa Maria Energy’s Poole, echoing his cohorts’ arguments that Santa Barbara County — the only county in California with its own Energy Division — already has strong rules in place, and as such, can produce oil under safer conditions than foreign countries do. “The sky is not falling, Chicken Little,” he said. “There is a false illusion that if they stop oil wherever they can, that will allow us to fly around in solar planes tomorrow.” But prominent Water Guardian Katie Davis said that she wants Santa Barbara County to be a leader on climate change issues, which means moving away from fossil fuels and looking to the future.“Regardless of whether Measure P passes or not, we will at some point stop producing oil, because it’s a finite resource,” she said.“That is true.” The last day to register to vote is October 20.
news briefs cont’d The Goleta City Council voted in favor of a temporary prohibition on on-street parking over the Halloween weekend in Isla Vista. The parking ban, in effect from noon on 10/31 to 6 a.m. on 11/2, will run west to east from Cannon Green Drive to Storke Road and north to south from Hollister Avenue to Whittier Drive. Isla Vista residents unable to park at their own residences will be provided free parking at the Girsh Park Public Parking Lot and at Camino Real Marketplace. The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County picked a new executive director this week. Chet Work comes from the Teton Regional Land Trust, and before that the Nature Conservancy, and with 15 years of conservation experience under his belt, he spent the better part of the past 10 years working with family farms and ranches in Wyoming and Idaho under development pressure. “My passion for conservation is fueled by a desire to see my children enjoy the same wildlife, open space, and scenic views I have enjoyed throughout my life,” he said. The Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to keep looking into what the county can do about the Chumash tribe’s expanded resort, the construction of which will start this month; concerns revolve around the 12-story hotel tower, water use, and fire safety. Supervisor Doreen Farr asked that the county send another letter to tribal leadership explaining the county’s issues and related mitigation proposals; the county will also reach out to and request a meeting with Governor Jerry Brown. Some Santa Ynez Valley residents suggested the county should sue the tribe, but County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni said that wasn’t feasible.
HEALTH As temperatures hit triple digits in Santa Barbara County last weekend, the Air Pollution Control District reported that state and federal
ozone pollution thresholds were exceeded multiple times. The state one-hour threshold was exceeded twice, and the state and federal eight-hour threshold was exceeded eight times. More striking, the elevated levels were found at monitoring stations throughout the entire county and not in any localized area. Higher ozone levels can cause serious respiratory issues for older and younger people and has been described as akin to sunburn of the linings of the lungs. Ozone is produced when prolonged hot weather combines with volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides, both of which are produced in great abundance by the tankers traveling through the Santa Barbara Channel as well as automobiles.
Santa Barbara’s Public Health Department recently put protocols in place to deal with Ebola should it appear in the county. The preparations include working with Santa Barbara Airport and first responders on identifying potential patients and using protective equipment. Hospitals, urgent-care facilities, and other health-care providers have been alerted to recognize symptoms and to ask about international travel, especially to West Africa, in the past 21 days. Public Health plans to hold a practice drill for Ebola emergency response in November, with the participation of hospitals and government agencies. By way of San Francisco’s Department of Public Health, Dr. Alice Gleghorn was appointed director of Santa Barbara Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Services (ADMHS) by the County Board of Supervisors this week. Gleghorn will take over for Public Health director Dr. Takashi Wada, who had served as ADMHS’s interim leader since 2012. Previously beset by financial and organizational issues, county staffers were pleased to report earlier this year that the department — with 400 employees and a $106.8 million budget — has made great strides in its ongoing comeback. Gleghorn is set to start 12/8. ■

Prosecutor Faces State Bar Complaint
Santa Barbara prosecuting attorney Justin Greene was named in a complaint filed with the California State Bar late last month in which he was accused of willfully violating a direct order by Judge Thomas Anderle. The complaint was submitted by Eric Michael Santana, who in August 2012 was detained and searched by Santa Barbara police. Authorities suspected Santana might be about to tag the Pennywise Market, a known gang hangout and frequent graffiti target. The responding officer likened Santana’s posture to the market to “a painter approaching his easel.” Santana was charged with resisting arrest because he laughed at the officer and then ran away after a search revealed he did not possess any tagging markers. Public Defender Sheerin Karimian argued unsuccessfully in front of Judge Frank Ochoa that the police lacked sufficient cause to stop Santana in the first place, and she subsequently appealed Ochoa’s ruling to an appellate panel of judges on the Santa Barbara bench. When Greene — a relative newcomer to the District Attorney’s Office with a reputation as a hard charger — sought to introduce evidence during the appeal that had not been included at the trial court, Judge Anderle explicitly instructed him he could not do so. Despite those instructions, Greene included that information in his written response to the appeal. Anderle and the rest of the panel chided Greene for doing so last September and also overruled Ochoa. The appellate panel concluded that none of the information Greene sought to include would have made any difference had it been allowed. In particular, the panel took exception to Greene’s argument that because the responding officer couldn’t see anything in Santana’s hands at the time of the stop, that indicated Santana must be hiding something and was cause for a search. “The People’s circular logic would eviscerate the Fourth Amendment and render it meaningless,” they wrote. A spokesperson for the California State Bar said she could not confirm any such complaint was filed, nor could she comment on any particulars. Likewise, Greene and the District Attorney’s — Nick Welsh Office declined to comment. october 9, 2014

REAPING RESPONSIBILITY: Bringing some form of greater representation to Isla Vista was discussed at a town hall forum for the second time this year.
Putting the Political in the Party
M
BY K E L S E Y B R U G G E R
ore people came to a town hall meeting in Isla Vista than the frat party across the street, which bodes well for a self-governance effort for the unincorporated college town. Little consensus emerged Tuesday night about what type of governing body would best serve the community, but one point was clear: Change must happen fast while the wounds of recent tragedies are still fresh. Possibilities for greater representation ranged from the unlikely option of incorporation (or annexation by either the City of Goleta or Santa Barbara) to the limited governing option of a municipal advisory committee to the County Board of Supervisors. Gaining the most traction seemed to be the midrange choice of a Community Services District (CSD) — essentially a step below cityhood — which comes with political power and the ability to retain revenue. For instance, if a CSD were implemented and included sewage services, a portion of Goleta West Sanitary District reserves could funnel back to Isla Vista. But many long-term residents oppose the CSD because it would give considerable power to
the transitory student population while leaving residents with its more permanent results. Several dozen attendees showed up to St. Mark’s church, including rd District Supervisor Doreen Farr, Assemblymember Das Williams, I.V. Recreation & Park District reps, and UCSB and SBCC representatives. Earlier Tuesday at the Board of Supervisors meeting, county staff gave an update on funding for Isla Vista. After the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) dissolved two years ago, Isla Vista lost monies for infrastructure and affordable housing. Various grants have had to fill in the gaps. The county was able to hold onto three properties formerly owned by the RDA — a medical clinic, church property, and solar parking lot — which will soon provide space for a community center. UCSB Assistant Vice Chancellor George Thurlow, who was recently appointed a special assistant to Chancellor Henry Yang on Isla Vista affairs, spoke to the supervisors on Tuesday afternoon. “These are problems that have festered for 40 years,” he said of the lack of governing mechanisms. “They are not going to be solved quickly, but we feel at UCSB that we have a window of oppor■ tunity to make some progress.”
Who Will Build the New Jail?
A
BY N I C K W E L S H
laboriously wrangled deal to make sure that area building and trades workers got hired to build the new $70 million North County Jail and to ensure labor peace during construction practically fell apart at the seams at this week’s county supervisors meeting. The deal — hammered out over six weeks of hard-fought negotiations between unions and private contractor groups — was widely denounced by employer groups as a giveaway to unions and only tepidly embraced by most of the labor unions involved. Supervisor Salud Carbajal moved to postpone the final vote until next week and managed to secure a slim 3-2 victory at that. For such compacts — dubbed Project Stabilization Agreements (PSA) — to succeed, they need all the labor groups to sign on. In
this instance, one major union is still holding out despite intense pressure from other trade groups. Some contractors noted there have been no major strikes in Santa Barbara since the 1960s and that the threat to labor peace that the PSA was to address is nonexistent. The building unions are most interested in securing jobs for their members; their leaders complained how out-of-town construction companies too often snag all the major construction contracts. Contractor organizations countered that 85 percent of Santa Barbara contracting companies are nonunion and objected that the lure of area jobs promised by the PSA is a myth. For nonunion contractors to successfully bid, they complained, they’ll be allowed to use no more than six of their own employees; the rest will have to be union crews, farmed in from out of town if need be. ■

Claire Bishop
// – //
Our beautiful mother, Claire Bishop, passed away peacefully on June at the age of . She died at home, surrounded by her children. The eldest child of Walter and Elisabeth Benson, Claire was born in Philadelphia on March , . She and her brother and sister enjoyed a Northeastern upbringing, spending memorable summers at the New Jersey shoreline. After graduating from Cushing Academy in Massachusetts, she traveled west to attend UC Santa Barbara. While living in Isla Vista, she met the love of her life, Hugh Bishop. That chance meeting led to a loving marriage and partnership that would take her to Panama as a military wife, San Diego, and ultimately back to Goleta where she and Hugh settled down to raise their family. Then Hugh died in . Devastated but resilient, Claire moved forward; she had much to do and a young family who needed her. Working to put herself through night school and finish her Business Economics degree at UCSB, Claire began her professional career with the State of California as an administrator with the Parks and Recreation Department. She helped facilitate numerous innovative projects that improved the experience for thousands of visitors to the state beaches in Santa Barbara and Ventura. She retired in , proud of her accomplishments and the relationships she had developed with her colleagues over a -year career. Retirement did not slow Claire down. She quickly found herself engaged in volunteer activities, including a five-year stretch at the Botanic Gardens and an

appointment to the Santa Barbara Civil Grand Jury. Her retirement years brought significant time with her grandchildren Ben, Aden, Eric, and Cate, which kept her young at heart and laughing more than she had in many years. She also fulfilled her lifelong ambition to travel, dashing annually to many of her dream destinations, including Italy, Germany, France, New York to see Broadway shows, and her most beloved locale, London. Her daughters were always with her – usually trying to keep up. These adventures were the gifts she gave herself after a lifetime of hard work. She cherished these moments abroad and the opportunity to share them with her girls. A voracious reader, Claire was exceedingly bright, dry witted, and strong willed. Her children will always remember coming in from a day of play and finding her with her feet propped on the ottoman, a book splayed across her chest, a dog at her side, catching a brief nap after a long week. She led by example and instilled in her children a tremendous work ethic and a sense of integrity for which they are grateful. While it was often a struggle, she gave her family everything she could. It was more than enough. Claire was predeceased by her husband Hugh and brother Walter. She is survived by her three children, Lisa Figueroa of Chula Vista, CA, Jonathan Bishop of Goleta, CA, and Amanda Bishop of Aptos, CA; adoring grandchildren, Daniel Figueroa, Benjamin Bishop, Aden Bishop, Cate Bishop, and Eric Figueroa; sister Carolyn Rehder of Chesterfield, MO; and her closest companions – her animals – whom she cared for profoundly. Claire’s family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the many people who tended to her with precision and love. Special thanks to everyone on South at Cottage Hospital and Valle Verde who provided such exceptional care. And to Laura from Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care who helped her transition peacefully. Memorial contributions may be made to DAWG (www.sbdawg.org). So long, Mom.You left behind many who love and admire you.
Gene Kelley –
After a long life well lived and after battling Parkinson’s Disease for more than years, Gene Kelley passed away on October in Goleta. Gene’s family was with him, as they have always been, no matter where they lived. He would have been on his next birthday in November. Gene was born in in Pelham Manor, New York. He was an outdoorsman from the get-go, finding adventure in the nearby marshes and flyfishing action in the local trout streams. A photo of him from about shows him proudly displaying a great catch. In his teens, he kept falcons, regularly taking them out to hunt. World War II was three years old when Gene enlisted at . After serving his
country in the Army Air Corps as a radar technician, he headed for Syracuse University. As a freshman, he was part of an eightoared crew that missed by inches beating the eventual Olympic champion University of Washington team. Gene joined another big team at Syracuse when he met and wooed “the prettiest girl on campus,” Elizabeth “Betty” Schaefer. They were together for the rest of his life. They graduated and married in and returned to the New York City suburbs to make a home. Gene continued his outdoor adventures, fishing, hunting, and camping nearby and throughout the Northeast. In , Gene and Betty welcomed their first child, Ernie, who was joined by Phil in and Susan in . After a brief stint at Standard Brands, he worked for Chase Manhattan for most of the early years of their marriage, making the commute into the city from their home in Eastchester. Gene would work in several fields in his life, from advertising and marketing to printing and power equipment sales. But throughout his life, work was a job . . . everything else was his passion. His friends and family marveled at his ability to fix anything, often with creative and work-around solutions. His creativity with his hands helped him create furniture for their house and for others and to invent a fishing lure he proudly called the Kelley Belley. Fishing was a particular passion, and he got so good at the art of it that he won a competition as the best fly-caster in New York State. With his sons along for the glorious ride, Gene became the Scout Leader extraordinaire, leading canoe trips into the wilderness and passing along not only his knowledge but his passion for outdoor adventure. In , the family welcomed daughter Patty, and they made the move to the house in Pleasantville, New York, where they would live for the next -plus years. There Gene found a new passion: helping others (while having fun with the guys). He joined the local volunteer fire department and became a key leader with the group, adding his passion for action and his do-it-yourself spirit to a growing team. Gene would rise to become a Fire Captain and Fire Commissioner, responding to the calls at all hours in all weathers. He made several rescues himself, including one in which he pulled an injured person from a smoking apartment. In , he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, but in true Gene Kelley fashion, did not let this dim his passions or slow down his active life. After leaving Chase, Gene had owned the Stark Equipment store and then later worked at a silkscreen company, combining his skills with machines and his talent for art, which led to yet another passion: photography. He got so good at it that his images of firefighters at work were displayed in a New York City gallery. In , he and Betty moved to Santa Barbara to join Patty and her husband, Jim. In their new home, Gene continued enjoying his passions, fishing at Lake Cachuma and in the Pacific. He also found a new way to give back, as he and Betty became leaders of the Parkinson’s Association of Santa Barbara, a group that promotes fellowship and support for patients and their caregivers. They also enjoyed time with their grandchildren, both near and far, while also finding new adventures with travel to far-off places like the South Seas and Africa. Gene’s lifelong curiosity never dimmed even as his movements were altered. His ability to press through whatever life put in his way was legendary and a life lesson to all who knew him. Once in a while, you’d hear him mutter “damned disease,” but those
were whispers against a shout of fortitude. In his final days, his family rallied to be with him; they were the true passions of his life. He is survived by Betty, his bride of years to the day; Ernie and his wife, Andrea Asch, and their children Lindsey and John; Phil and his wife, Lynda Hillman; Susan and her husband, Larry Fasnacht; Patty and her husband, Jim Buckley and their children Conor and Katie. On both coasts, the lives touched by Gene all responded with one overarching sentiment: He was a hell of a man. In memory of Gene, his family asks that you consider donations to the Parkinson’s Assocation of Santa Barbara: www.mypasb.org.

Dems Flip-Flop for Measure S
PAU L WELM AN PHOTOS
City College’s Sprawling Impact
number of apartment buildings across the street from Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) have become unsanctioned residence halls for students, but there is no supervision. Music blares late from roosting out-of-area students who recently flew their parents’ coop. These young people often double and triple up in bedrooms. “There’s a bunk bed in a room made out of half of a kitchen,” quipped lower Westside resident Beebe Longstreet. Six cars line up in the driveway located next door to her house; many are quite fancy and driven by 18-year-olds. At times, disturbances surpass juvenile delinquency and are downright violent, neighbors claim. And since Santa Barbara City College enacted a smoking ban in the summer of 2013, cigarette butts litter streets surrounding campus. The area has turned into something of a mini Isla Vista in the past five years or so, neighbors say, as low-income families and young professionals moved out and students moved in. The school promotes 10 complexes on its website, though they are not affiliated with the college. Unlike the unincorporated land of Isla Vista, which is governed by county law, the city does not have a noise ordinance to specifically address college partying. Police officers can issue tickets pursuant to the Penal Code sections that define disturbing the peace, which includes construction noises or loud music. But officers rarely issue tickets in the neighborhoods near the college, because it requires a complainant to perform a citizen’s arrest. So the MO’ MONEY, MO’ PROBLEMS: SBCC President Lori Gaskin (lower left) has been informing people about the young adults, not surprisingly, tend need for Measure S, which would pay for a dozen or so construction projects at the college’s three campuses. not to fear the cops. Meanwhile, nearby resident Beebe Longstreet (lower right) has voiced frustrations about the college’s Santa Barbara City College has growing impacts on surrounding neighborhoods. jumped into the spotlight lately because it is asking voters to approve a $288 NEUTRAL TO SUPPORTIVE million facilities bond known as Measure S.

(The meetings are unrelated The Dems discussed facilities at great length Measure V— the $77 million facilities bond to Measure S and will continue after the election during three previous meetings, touching on passed by 70 percent of voters in 2008 — and is regardless of the outcome.) Chaired by Trustee issues of oversight, construction projects, and allocated for a classroom building on the west Marty Blum, the task force is made up of 15 student housing.

The sticking point this time may be that the east campus, the Wake Center, and the physical prominent Democrats who personally endorsed college hired Daniel Iacofano — who worked on education buildings.

age — housing, circulation, transportation, and parking. Last year, the SBCC Foundation placed a bid to purchase Harbor Heights located adjacent to the college, but it lost to a $33 million bid by St. George & Associates, which owns several dozen student rentals in Isla Vista. The assurance from Gaskin represents a shift as community college officials have historically iterated that it is not in their mission to provide housing for students. That has changed to a degree; now 11 out of the 112 community colleges in the state system offer housing for students. But most are located in sparsely populated rural areas up north. And some need dorms to attract students. Constructing new housing on campus would not be feasible, Gaskin said, but she would like to model private partnerships after Tropicana Gardens, which houses SBCC students in a dormstyle complex in Isla Vista. If Measure S fails, the college would likely have to go back to the voters in two years with a smaller requested amount. Without the bond money, the college would be unable to build classrooms or housing, argued Assemblymember Das Williams, who spoke to the Dems with Gaskin. Williams added that all community colleges with “superior academic programs”— some are in attractive places to live — also see an influx of students. “It’s a state institution,” he said, adding that Santa Barbara students who go on to CSU or UC campuses benefit from the entire system.
FEW, BUT VOCAL
Opposing the measure, “No on S” comprises a group of about nine volunteers, some of whom have worked anonymously for several weeks. Outspoken crusader Ernie Salomon, who was instrumental in starting the campaign, formally resigned from the group so he could respond to emails more quickly — without needing the group’s approval. Glen Mowrer, retired public defender and public access channel host of The Next Step, is now leading the group. “No on S” has raised $2,260 to date. “Yes on S” has accumulated $338,345 in its campaign piggy bank, including $250,500 from the SBCC Foundation, $10,000 from Compass Energy Solutions and Griffith & Thornburgh LLP, and $5,000 from Penfield & Smith and PMSM Architects.
ADULT ED ANXIETY CONTINUES
Fears about the future of the college’s two satellite campuses is prevalent among the Adult Education crowd, who worry that for-credit students will eventually displace students enrolled in the Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL). Though cosmetology will move out to the Wake campus, Gaskin said the program will not eliminate any current Lifelong Learning courses. A few years ago, Adult Education transitioned from a state-subsidized program to a fee-based, self-sufficient school, creating serious controversy and anguish among the Adult Ed population. Though the number of unduplicated students dropped from about 20,000 to 7,500, executive director Andy Harper said the center broke even after its first year and called worries that CLL would be ■ eliminated an “unfounded fear.”

How ’bout Them Dodger Dogs?
CAN’T GET THERE FROM HERE: Any ordinary
fool can draw up a detailed road map showing how we’re careening to hell in the proverbial handbasket. But it takes a special fool to see things otherwise. Both being true, it’s all a matter of what kind of fool you choose to be. Today, I’m feeling special. The outcome of the National League baseball play-offs may not prove the existence of karma, but it does suggest that justice on occasion still prevails. The Los Angeles Dodgers selfdestructed in each of their three games against the St. Louis Cardinals, imploding always just after the seventh inning stretch. For my friends bleeding Dodger Blue, I feeeeel your pain. But rooting for the Dodgers in the current context would be akin to siding with the landlords evicting you after enacting a massive rent increase. This year, the Dodgers effectively imposed a blackout on about 70 percent of their televisionviewing fan base by striking one of the grossest, greediest deals in media history. The Dodgers sold their souls to Time Warner Cable for $8.35 billion — over a 25-year contract — so they could underwrite the most expensive shopping spree of baseball talent in the world. Time Warner Cable proved so shamelessly intractable at the bargaining table with other carriers that even a few members of Congress felt compelled to make some half-hearted harrumphs about doing something. Professional football physically abandoned Los Angeles years ago when the Rams moved to St. Louis and the Raiders took
the Greyhound back to Oakland. By contrast, professional baseball has abandoned L.A. — only one of the world’s biggest media markets — without actually leaving. Whoever tells you capitalism is propelled by rational self-interest is clearly not paying attention. The Dodgers, it should be acknowledged, used that money to buy a damn fine, and at times, amazing team. That enabled them to get close to the top. But fittingly, close was all they got. On the field, it was the Cardinals who smote the Dodgers, but in reality they got hoisted by their own petard. I have a close relative who, for a brief while, was fond of saying such things as,“Discretion is the better part of valor.” Translated, that meant gay people should have the good sense to shut up about all that stuff when in polite society. This week, the Supreme Court would turn that old-fashioned sentiment upside down and inside out, acting profoundly and powerfully by not acting at all. The Supremes declined to hear multiple challenges filed by several states insisting on their god-given right to discriminate against gay people when it comes to marriage. Various judges in those states had struck down such bans on the grounds that marriage and rights are distinctly human inventions — God presumably having other things to fret about — and that no evidence had yet been mustered demonstrating any damage that might possibly be inflicted should men and women be allowed to marry their own kind. By not acting, the Supremes effectively sanctified gay marriage in 30 states right now and maybe two more as
the legal dominoes continue to fall. More than half the U.S. population now lives where gay marriage is legal. This transformation is nothing less than revolutionary, and while neither perfect nor complete, it’s already become so unremarkably normal as to be almost boring. That’s the definition of true progress. Some people have snarked that the Supremes have ducked their duty by not spelling things out. I get the point. But from where I sit, the Supremes proved the wisdom inherent in another of those old- fashioned tongue-cluckers: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t saying anything at all.” What the Supremes didn’t say, they didn’t say exceptionally well. Another topic traditionally excluded from polite conversation has been mental health; like masturbation, it was to be dealt with in private. Clearly, that’s not worked out so well. Nationally, the National Rifle Association has put the topic on center stage, blaming the mentally ill for the ongoing eruption of mass shootings rather than the proliferation of firearms engineered to be weapons of mass destruction. Santa Barbara County, no stranger to such outbreaks, has long struggled to figure out how to treat its own mentally ill. Based on Grand Jury reports dating monotonously back more than 20 years, the answer has been not very well. In fact, things got so bad a few years back that federal regulators were threatening to shut down our Psychiatric Health Facility — where those posing an imminent threat to themselves or others are held — because of chronic problems
that lead to the death of at least one patient. For the past two years, the county’s Department of Alcohol, Drugs and Mental Health Services has been the focus of massive reform
efforts, and this Tuesday, the county supervisors selected someone with serious rock-star credentials to run the department. The supes managed to lure Dr. Alice Gleghorn, PhD, away from the San Francisco Department of Public Health, where she’s worked the past 19 years to run the show here. Gleghorn reportedly blew doors off the competition, and there was no shortage of seriously qualified contenders. Aside from her experience dealing with intense big-city craziness, Gleghorn’s defining talent has been in fusing programs that effectively provide treatment to people who are both mentally ill and who are inclined to abuse any substance they can get their hands on, otherwise known as the dually diagnosed. It’s this population that places the most intense demand on services. And reading the old Grand Jury reports, it’s this population that county programs seemed almost designed not to serve. I have not met Gleghorn personally, so I can’t say whether she really wears a red cape and has the letter “S” emblazoned boldly on her chest. But if she is half as good in reality as she looks on paper, we have cause for optimism. I know we’re still going to hell; I’ve got the road map. But given the destination, maybe getting lost is not the worst thing to do. Or taking the scenic route. In the meantime, watch out for falling handbaskets. — Nick Welsh

Beach Poaching
A
tragedy occurred 20 years ago when a cyclist riding along La Conchita was killed. Thanks to Caltrans, riders are now safe behind a double-fence bike path at a cost of about $7 million per mile. But for thousands of beachgoers, gone are the halcyon days when the families frolicked in the surf there. The entire sandy beach has forever been effectively put off limits. For those fortunate enough to capture one of the 20 or so beach parking spaces at La Conchita, the average distance to the beach and back is over a mile! Carrying an umbrella, beach chairs, surfboard, ice chest, with kids in tow? If you can peek through the new fences that obscure the previously beautiful ocean view, you will see not a soul on the beach. Now you know why. — Murphy O’Dean, S.B.

ave you seen the northwest corner of Santa Barbara and Figueroa lately? The students from the ELC (Education Language Center) hang out there daily to smoke. Not only do they leave their butts on the ground, but they frequently leave additional trash. The center claims to supply a trash can, but I don’t think the students know what it’s for. Maybe a trash pickup at the beach would be a good learning tool. — Lindy Carlson, S.B.
Beware the Bike and ’Board
A
s a city resident who lives and works downtown, I walk everywhere and am very concerned about pedestrian safety. Many bicyclists and skateboarders frequently disregard pedestrians and nearly run over us without even a quick apology. It is a low estimate to say that approximately 50 percent of bicyclists run red lights, run stop signs, and make quick, dangerous right and left turns while pedestrians are stepping into crosswalks.
It is also common to see bikes on the sidewalks. Perhaps bicyclists and skateboarders should be required to pass a test to become licensed and should carry insurance. It is shocking to see the lack of respect for commonsense laws that exist to protect everyone. Perhaps we need a city ordinance banning bikes and skateboards completely from De la Vina to Santa Barbara Street, and —T.L. Johnson, S.B. from Gutierrez to Victoria.

elsey Brugger’s excellent article “Sex and Rape in Isla Vista” [independent.com/rape] just blew me away. I used to believe that nothing ever changes, but no longer. Young men of college age are still at the peak of their biological urges, with development of their minds and values coming along later … or never. But, young women of college age in years past were for the most part discreet, modest, and sober; however, much of this has changed, perhaps forever. If asked today, I would counsel them: (1) Always wear clothing and makeup that are in good taste; (2) have a fun time, but stay sober; (3) attend social events with at least two girlfriends, and keep together all evening; (4) if you drink, don’t set your drink down or accept one from a stranger; (5) think about the impact on your future if you make foolish choices today; and (6) if you’re confused, seek adult counsel, preferably from your parents, or an — Harry S.

YES on Measure P Ban Fracking and other Extreme Oil
Why are oil companies from Texas and China spending millions to stop Measure P? • Because their real goal is to drill 10,000+ new wells in Santa Barbara County using risky techniques like Fracking, Acidizing and Steam Injection. • These techniques waste and pollute millions of gallons of water, trigger earthquakes and would double emissions, making climate change worse. • The County has confirmed Measure P would have no impact on current oil production. Oil is less than 1% of our economy, but this massive expansion puts the other 99% of our economy in ag, tourism, tech at risk. Protect our Water, Air, Health and Economy!

AREA 51: I mean, who’s writing this No on
P stuff, anyway, people from scary Area , or outer-space aliens on loco weed? Maybe fear-mongering comic-book cartoonists? Is it coming from the same wackos who believe that the so-called Area military base in Nevada is a secret hotbed of UFOs and conspiracies? Look, I can handle doomsday warnings of Armageddon, the final battle between the forces of good and evil, the Rapture, End Days, the Great Big Quake, the Ultimate Tsunami, even if the Dodgers miss the World Series, but what I can’t fathom is the gusher of craziness from the No on Measure P moneybags. The Big Lie strategy lives! Repeat it often enough and in enough places, and people start to believe it. It reminds me of the snake-oil salesmen who hoodwinked us into state water. In my innocence, I thought Measure P — the clean air and water, anti-fracking measure on the November ballot — is aimed at trying to prevent toxic pollution from being pumped into Santa Barbara County water aquifers. Who could be against safeguarding our water? Well, how about Big Oil, Chevron, and their North County minions, who are pumping out scare tactics, branding the measure as something that would lay waste to the entire county from Cuyama to Cachuma? To read their ads you’d think long lines of grubby 28213orphans starving in the oil fields and
bread lines forming in Santa Maria are on the horizon. Facts? Who needs facts? Yes on P people say, “The county has confirmed Measure P will have no impact on current oil production.” But oil companies want to drill 10,000-plus new wells using risky techniques like fracking and acidizing, Yes on P says. We’re already being barraged with Big Oil propaganda and can expect loads more. Robert Redford just endorsed Measure P and warns, “An oil front largely funded by Chevron just transferred in another $1.6 million to defeat Measure P.” He’s begging for $10 or $20 donations to fight that at nationbuilder.com. No on P vampire ads warn that hardly a single drop of life-giving oil would be pumped if Measure P passes. And worse, if anything could be, I notice scads of color cartoons showing giant tankers steaming toward the U.S., increasing our dependence on the hated red flag “foreign oil.” Excuse me? Whatever happened to the clean water and air issue? County firefighters and Sheriff ’s deputies have joined the valiant fight against Measure P and the way it would “cause the loss of over $16 million in tax revenues each year for schools, fire protection and other government services.” If by chance that’s true, might that affect pay raises and pensions for said firefighters and deputies?

It seems that other anti-fracking campaigns are popping up or threatened around the country. So Big Oil doesn’t want one infection to turn into a national plague, not when there’s cash by the barrel to stomp it out. Oddly, the No on P people, a shadowy group that calls itself Californians for Energy Independence, has so much cynical arrogance that they’re even stealing catchphrases from real environmentalists, like “Think Globally, Act Locally.” Look for the campaign to really get nasty, as

INDEPENDE /SBBANDNST.COM
There’s a lot to love about the Ojai music scene. It’s hospitable and tightknit. It’s eclectic and adventurous. It’s high-profile but also wonderfully down-to-earth. Over the course of the past few years, we’ve delighted in covering (and uncovering) some of this sleepy little town’s hidden musical gems, and yet it’s still continuing to surprise us. In 2014, that element of surprise came by way of Los Stellarians. The brainchild of frontman SA Martinez and N.Y. multi-instrumentalist Ryan Siegel (Exes of Evil, Ghostwolf), Los Stellarians is calling Ojai home and dishing out some seriously jammable tunes to boot. Rooted in Martinez’s long-standing love of old-school soul, funk, and lowrider culture, the band is championing the kind of throwback music that vinyl obsessives can get behind and situating itself right alongside contemporary greats like Nick Waterhouse, Mayer Hawthorne, and the Menahan Street Band. “I realized that there really isn’t that much awareness of the depth of soul music outside of record nerds,” said Martinez when we caught up with him in his Ojai home last month. “Through , I have access to a pretty diverse fan base of music lovers, and I just thought that if I put something together that I thought was cool, I’m pretty sure those people would like it, too. Once you start listening to this music, you get into it more and more,” he laughed. “I’ve already turned Ryan into an aficionado of soul.” This summer, Martinez and Siegel self-released Cholo Soul, a sparkling collection of covers of some of soul music’s deepest cuts. (Check out their take
ALEX FERZAN
When we put out the call for submissions for this year’s music issue, I heard more than a few whispers of doubt. “There are no bands left in Santa Barbara,” my coworkers argued. “Good luck with that,” grumbled one musically inclined friend, eyes rolling. But then the emails started coming. Hundreds of them. All promising a glimpse at something or someone I needed to hear. Sure, there were some throwaways. There was also enough fodder for a whole other, way weirder version of this issue. Most importantly, though, the exercise landed me on the receiving end of an inbox teeming with musicians. All from the tri-county area. And all wanting to be heard. In an attempt to streamline the masses, it quickly became apparent that we were going to have to set some guidelines. As such, all the acts we’re featuring in this issue are fairly new. They’re also showing crazy promise early on in the game. In a lot of ways, you can consider this our guide to what’s next in the Santa Barbara music world. Or a list of the Best New S.B. Bands of 2014. I, for one, am using it as a not-so-subtle way to say “told ya so” to that friend with the eye rolls. The scene’s not dead, guys. Not yet. ▲
on Darondo’s “Didn’t I” for starters.) In the coming months, they’ll also unveil a record of originals, written and recorded with the same reverence and touchstones in mind. “It’s a little more dynamic in that some of the cuts are more proto-R&B, more like modern soul. And then some are cruisers, midnighters — really throwback-sounding ballads,” Martinez says of album number two. “We’re halfway there on that.” As for the art of picking the perfect cover song, Martinez believes it all goes back to the heart.“I think we felt like we could do pretty much anything we wanted because we love the music so much. These songs are second nature to me because I’ve listened to them so many times. I knew I could sing them, and I knew Ryan could lay down the foundation. When you get music lovers together, you can do a lot of cool things. And when you’re on the same page, it’s even cooler.” Visit facebook.com/losstellarians. —AC

We’ve all had that night — the one where you stumble into a club to check out a band you’ve never heard of and they proceed to completely tear the roof off the place. For music fans, those rare moments of pure discovery are the ones that make you want to run home and tell all your friends. (Or, in this case, fruitlessly search the Internet.) They’re the moments A&R reps live for. And this year, our most memorable one came in the form of Mångo Mångo. (It’s pronounced mahngo-mahngo, by the way.) Like most good origin stories go nowadays, Mångo Mångo’s tale involves a bit of reverse engineering. Begun as a late-night bedroom recording project by bassist/drummer Gordon Palmer Carpenter, the band didn’t start taking shape until a full EP’s worth of ideas were already in the works. First came keyboardist Zachary Wallace, then drummer/bassist Russ Glick, who together ushered in guitarist Josh Blumenthal. A few band meetings and one well-penned Craigslist ad later, the guys brought singer Anna Kasper on board. As for the sound, it’s a silky union of ’80s synth pop and newschool disco that prides itself on being fun loving and danceable. “It’s not Saturday Night Fever disco. It’s more invite your friends over, have a couple glasses of wine, and everyone’s wearing sweater-vests and turtlenecks. … we like the dancier side of Luther Vandross,” laughs Carpenter, who cites George Benson, Patrice Rushen, and Miami Vice (the original one) as inspiration. Whoever Mångo Mångo’s muse is, she seems to be working. Just two shows into their tenure as a band, the quintet thoroughly killed as the opening act to Norwegian electro wizards Lemaitre. And next weekend, they’ll take to the big stage as part of New Noise 2014’s Block Party, a bill which also features indie heavyweights like Cherub and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart — not too shabby for a band that, up until recently, didn’t have a Facebook page. “The Block Party is way big,” says Carpenter sheepishly.“I mean, who gets to play a show like that two months after getting onstage in a club where literally no one knows who you are?” Not many. But if our first meeting was any indication, a whole lot of people are about to start talking about Mångo Mångo. Visit facebook.com/mangomangoband. —AC

We all know that college is a time for growth, new experiences, experimentation. Lucky for us, Sun Daes took all those clichés to heart. In the year and a half since they came together, UCSB students Max Goldenstein, Gabe Poissant, Jared Payzant, and JD Severino have taken Sun Daes from breezy Isla Vista commodity to legitimate rising star of the Santa Barbara music scene. How? For starters, there are the melodies, which swing and soar the way all good pop rock should. Delve a little further, though, and you’ll find a band with a serious ear for guitar tonality. Sun Daes’ richest reference points stretch back to ’60s icons like Dick Dale and The Zombies, but the band is better equipped for more contemporary comparisons. Think Real Estate, Wild Nothing, and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart (who show up in S.B. next weekend, by the way). Ask Goldstein to describe Sun Daes’
sound, and he keeps it simple. “It’s chill surf rock,” he explained last week via email. Sure. But it’s also swimming in a sea of subtle indie-pop influences. “My brother was the one that got me to pick up a guitar,” says Goldstein, “but Andrew Bird was the person to make me realize that nothing, not even being the only musician around, can hold you back from making something beautiful.” With that in mind, Sun Daes’ lyric sheets read a little deeper, a little darker than the “chill surf rock” tag lets on. “Every night I ride my bike into the ocean / But every time I try / I can’t keep up the motion,” Goldstein sings on “Pacific/Atlantic.” It’s a silly sentiment, but paired with the song’s lush washes of guitar, and delivered in Goldstein’s sweetly imploring voice, it’s also a surprisingly poignant one. And it’s only getting better with age. Visit sundaes .bandcamp.com. —AC
THE MUSIC ISSUE melodies of weirdo savants like Thee Oh Sees and, until recently, Ty Segall. Down south, the torch is being carried by hazy garage rockers and beatnik revivalists like Allah-Las, Foxygen, and White Fence. And fittingly, if you travel up the coast a ways, you’ll fall into the ’s version, which is taking its cues from a slightly more hippy-ish school of thought. In Carpinteria alone, the noodle-y riff-rock ratio is fast on the climb, and no one is doing the scene prouder than Pacific Haze. Born out of the ashes of onetime farmers’ market staples Sprout, this quintet (made up of guitarist/vocalist Colin Shepherd, guitarist/ vocalist Zach Doiron, bassist Wesley Birch, drummer Zachariah Godlove, and percussionist Nick Hansink) proudly worships at the altar of the jam-rock greats. Ask Shepherd and Dorion about inspiration, and they simultaneously light up and geek out for everyone from Jerry Garcia to Led Zeppelin to The Allman Brothers. “I grew up listening to all the classic rock my parents liked,” said Shepherd,“but it wasn’t
until middle school that the whole rock-revival thing came around, and I realized I could actually be in a band.” For those who have caught Pacific Haze in action, it’s easy to see the thruway. Their sound is a chameleon-like blend of Southern blues rock, soulful funk, and barefoot, starry-eyed psychedelia that’s delightfully heady and heavy on the solos. “The live show is like splatter painting,” laughed Dorion. “When it gets really jammy and you’re able to forget what song you’re playing — that’s the best.” In the coming months, Pacific Haze heads back on the road for a short fall tour and then comes home to hibernate (read: work on their full-length debut), which they hope to hunker down and record early next year. “This band is only six months old, but Colin and I have been playing together for over a decade,” said Dorion. “We’ve seen lots of friends fall off — and that’s okay — but this is our life. This is what we want to do. And I love this life.” Visit pacifichaze.bandcamp.com. —AC

emcee. In conversation, Tione cites these pop-up, communal gatherings as the wellspring of the current Santa Barbara music scene. “I think most [area] hip-hop artists have started to collaborate, and that’s going to strengthen the community. Otherwise everyone is just going to dissipate into the Internet,” he says. Though he has plans for collaborative projects with S.B. locs like Elliott Niezel and Actafew, Tione admits that he uses the web to find musical partners. French producer Evil Needle supplied the beats for Tione’s latest project, a pairing that came together after Tione unearthed a wealth of instrumental beats on the Frenchman’s Bandcamp page. “At first he would just post stuff, and if I liked it, then I would write on it,” said Tione. “I would rip it off the Internet and then push record.” Exchanges like this have become part and parcel in music circles the world over, though the hip-hop community has been particularly vocal about this “sharing is caring” model. “What’s been really cool lately is that people are just sharing,” Tione explains.“I saw one song, and then I clicked on a related link and just started writing. That became ‘Endless.’” “Endless” is the first track on the collaboration between Tione and Needle, a semi-solemn ballad that showcases Tione’s innate gift for spoken-word poetry. Tione, who currently works as a barber at The Underground, remains earnest and thoughtful on the remainder of the record. “Whether I’m doing hair or I’m rapping, I’m going to invest myself in that,” he says. And that’s an investment we’re willing to bank on. Visit chayetione .com. —JB
For Chaye Tione, rapping is both a craft and a skill he can use to reach people. A Santa Barbara native, Tione first encountered hip-hop via a DJ Quik cassette tape, though three older brothers also lent a hand, exposing him to artists like Immortal Technique and Gorillaz. Still, it wasn’t until after high school that Tione began writing. “I met a girl by the name of Daniella, and she exposed me to the slam scene,” the 28-yearold recalled last week. “There was an openmike night, and even a competition in Ventura, but I think that coffee shop closed.” It was at open-mike nights just like that one that Tione began testing the waters as an

The Masters of the
Digital Revolution
In 1941, University of Pennsylvania physicist John Mauchly visited Iowa State University physicist John Atanasoff to learn about the latter’s designs for a digital computer. While Mauchly and engineer Presper Eckert would earn credit for inventing the first digital computer, called ENIAC, Atanasoff successfully challenged their patent, which was stripped in 1973. And although Atanasoff won in court, Mauchly comes out the victor in a new sweeping history of the minds who brought us eight seminal inventions of the digital age, including the transistor, the microchip, the Internet, software, and the World Wide Web. In an interview with The Santa Barbara Independent this week, author Walter Isaacson, who previously penned biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Steve Jobs, explained his rationale in writing The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution. “I saw that there was a lone visionary in Iowa who invented the electronic circuit that could do logic — John Atanasoff — but he could never execute because he didn’t have a team around him,” said Isaacson. “So he never got it up and running. In truth, the real first computer was done at the University of Pennsylvania. … The ability to put together a team is what distinguished the people building ENIAC from the guy in Iowa machining stuff down in his basement. … Innovation without execution is hallucination.” For this project, Isaacson wanted to make the point that great innovations do not leap forth spontaneously from the cortexes of singular geniuses. They are more often than not the result of collaborations that are supported by industry, government, and academia, ushered into existence by a host of social forces and historical happenstances.
When asked about thee political conclusions of his thesis, Isaacson said, “I worry that in a very highly political time, people on the left think [innovation is] mainly the purview of government. People on the right think that it’s mainly the purview of private industry. I wanted to show how we can shun both politics and realize how each sector has an important role to play and that they can work together.” In Isaacson’s mission to break down barriers, none might be as important as that between art and technology. He brackets his book with the story of Ada Lovelace, the daughter of poet Lord Byron, who collaborated with Charles Babbage on the first mechanical computer. Trained as a mathematician, Lovelace longed for a “poetical science,” foreshadowing, Isaacson argues, the most revolutionary technological accomplishments of recent history. “The theme of the digital revolution,” he said, “has been the ability to connect computers more closely with humans. Some people thought that we would achieve artificial intelligence. The way it turned out, connection between humans and machines was the driving force. Our computers today are more personal, more intimate, more interactive with us. That culminates with Apple Watch and Google Glass.” — Brandon Fastman

ts cause is unknown, it’s not preventable, and it affects approximately three million people in the U.S. It’s called type 1 diabetes (T1D), and it’s an autoimmune disease that destroys the pancreas’s ability to produce insulin, a hormone that removes excess glucose from the blood. To better understand and temper the impact of T1D, much research and education is needed. A major mover and shaker on that front is the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), which is headquartered in New York City but has chapters and councils throughout the United States, including one on the Central Coast. Formed in 2009, the JDRF’s Central Coast Council was developed to provide support to the approximately 14,000 folks afflicted with T1D in our area. To that end, the council holds fundraisers yearly, the largest being a Walk to Cure Diabetes. The goal is to raise $142,096 — $67,901 had been amassed as of press time — from the October 11 event, which will go toward the national objective of $85 million for the JDRF, which allots $568 million in scientific research around the globe. The event typically draws a crowd of more than 1,000 walkers from around the county, and those numbers are expected again this year. In addition to gathering for a good cause, there will be entertainment — KEYT’s John Palminteri will serve as emcee, and fitness guru Jenny Schatzle will preside over the event as grand marshal.
The years deemed the Second British Invasion due to the slew of U.K. groups that had U.S. chart-topping songs. Those four years saw bands such as The Police, Billy Idol, and Duran Duran achieve huge popularity. SOURCE: wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_British_Invasion.

Terrific ball striking was the name of the game for Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Athletes of the Week Nick DePuy of UCSB and Bella Vigna of Dos Pueblos High. Vigna does her ball striking on the golf course. The freshman shot a school-record 4-under-par 31 at Buenaventura Golf Course to lead the undefeated Chargers to a season-low 188 in a Channel League victory over Buena. DePuy has become quite the ball striker for the UCSB men’s soccer team. Last week, he delivered the game-winning goals in Big West victories over Cal State Northridge (2-1) and UC Irvine (1-0). The strike against Irvine was a 35-yard bomb in the last 36 seconds of regulation time. The Gauchos are 6-3-1 and have won four straight matches. For the full story, see presidiosports.com.

ick and Diana Longoria have experienced just about every-
thing in their 30-plus years of making Santa Barbara County wine, from being the first to convert industrial park space into what’s become the Lompoc Wine Ghetto to planting Fe Ciega, one of the Sta. Rita Hills’ premier pinot noir vineyards. But this harvest season, for the first time ever, the Longorias are making wine in a facility that they themselves designed and own, opening their brand-new winery in early August just one day before crushing their first batch of 2014 grapes. And this Sunday, as part of one of the many events going on as part of the Santa Barbara Vintners’ annual Celebration of Harvest weekend, they celebrate the grand opening of their adjacent tasting room, which is inside the former employee club for the diatomaceous earth mine on Chestnut Street in Lompoc. “After 30-some-odd years, you start to wonder whether you’re ever going to have your own place, or are you just gonna be a renter your whole life?” said Rick, who purchased the old JM Club property after a grueling seven-month escrow in December 2012 and then spent the entire next year dealing with financing (their first loan officer quit the bank, setting the whole process back), architecture (to spruce up the club into a comfortable tasting room and build the roughly 4,000-square-foot production facility), and a process “fraught” with issues. “So 2013 was a lost year,” said Rick, who attended Lompoc’s Cabrillo High and makes about 3,000 cases of wine a year. “But it came together better than expected, and the town is really supportive.” Rick admits to missing the daily interaction with other winemakers at the nearby wine ghetto, which now has dozens of wineries and tasting rooms, but the Longorias aren’t really bittersweet about the move. “This place is just so nice,” said Rick, who proudly displays clippings about the building’s previous mining company owners, which were one of Lompoc’s major employers for decades. “It’s really the melding of Lompoc history and the wine industry.” — Matt Kettmann

MARY CHAPIN RUSS HARRINGTON
THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT
FMLYBND frontman Mac Montgomery
FMLYBND R O A R S BACK TO LIFE
I
t has been another year of adventure for Mary Chapin Carpenter, one of music’s most popular and beloved singer/ songwriters. After releasing Songs from the Movie, an ambitious project that saw her adding beautiful, complex string arrangements to some of her greatest hits, she took to the road and played those same arrangements with many of the world’s top symphony orchestras. On Friday, she kicks off a different kind of tour at the Lobero Theatre, where she will appear accompanied by just two other musicians, Jon Carroll (piano) and John Doyle (guitar and bouzouki). “It’s something I’ve done many times before,” said Carpenter from her home in Virginia earlier this week,“and I love the trio format — it’s another palette.” Speaking of the way that this concert fits with what she has been doing earlier in the year, Carpenter said that “since there’s no new MCC record that I feel I have to play right now, and since I just finished touring on the orchestral arrangements of Songs from the Movie, this trio setting will allow me to be really free in my choices.” Carpenter certainly has a wealth of material to work from. Her 13 albums add up to one of the most impressive bodies of work of any contemporary songwriter. In the years since her days as a multiple Grammy-winning country star in the 1990s, she’s grown into a more introspective artist, and the depth of her material has only increased with age. In discussing her source material, Carpenter says that inspiration can come in many forms, from something in the newspaper to “cannibalizing my own life. … I just try to stay open,” she explains, “and work hard every day.” Carpenter also acknowledges that she is in a different phase now than when she first came on the scene.“My voice is different today. It’s something I became aware of after being sick. I wanted to sing quieter, and I started changing some of the keys of the earlier songs
to accommodate the fact that my voice is lower now. It’s actually been a great pleasure to discover this new way of singing. It’s just as full, but with less stress.” Her compositions have changed, as well, and the raucous zydeco of “Down at the Twist and Shout” is now as much a part of the past
CARPENTER TRIO HEADS TO THE LOBERO
as the flipped bob haircut Carpenter was sporting back in ’91. What hasn’t changed is her unerring instinct as a writer for the point that brings people together, for the idea that resonates, and for the melody that will make a song stick in your head and in your heart.
COUNTRY STRONG: Mary Chapin Carpenter has come a long way from her meteoric rise in the early ’90s. This week, she strips things down for an intimate three-piece show at the Lobero Theatre alongside Tift Merritt.
Just listen to 2012’s Ashes and Roses or 2010’s The Age of Miracles to get a sense of how alive her talent remains today. These critically acclaimed releases may not have burned up the charts like Come On Come On, but they remind us that before Wilco and before Sugarland, there was Mary Chapin Carpenter, reinventing country then just as she is transforming adult contemporary today. Mary Chapin Carpenter plays the Lobero Theatre ( E. Canon Perdido St.) on Friday, October 10, at 8 p.m. with opener Tift Merritt. Call 963-0761 or visit lobero.com for tickets and — Charles Donelan info.
GERARD WAY HESITANT ALIEN My Chemical Romance is dead. But the man who rose from its ashes is far from over. Hesitant Alien, Gerard Way’s first solo album, is not reminiscent of emo days long gone (RIP 2006). Instead, think ’80s and ‘90s Britpop glory. Way, with his blazing hair and eclectic taste, is more David Bowie than Davey Havok — and Hesitant Alien is no different. The album leaves behind power chords and anguished wails in favor of punchy hooks and a wide range of instrumentation — tambourines and saxophones included. The whole thing kicks off with “The Bureau,” a rock ’n’ roll song complete with fuzz pedals and Jersey drawl. The next two tracks, “Action Cat” and “No Shows,” are the singles, and arguably the weakest links of the album. They’re not bad songs, but they play like B-sides from My Chemical Romance’s Danger Days. But Alien is saved by “Brother,” a starkly honest ballad that plays like a confession to Way’s younger brother and former bandmate. The track gives fans insight to My Chemical Romance’s breakup and will probably make you cry if you listen hard enough. It’s easily the most honest album Way has written
yet. But if you don’t expect Hesitant Alien to be a bit theatrical, you’re mistaken. It is a celebration of the artistic forces that drive the man, ranging from Smashing Pumpkins to Pulp. Despite its nostalgic roots, Way’s debut is a wholly unparalleled work of postmodern music. — Cassie Miasnikov
If anyone is giving this week’s I.V. cover story subjects something ROCKERS to reach for, it’s FMLYBND. In the 12 short months since UNVEIL they were featured in our 2013 NEW EP Music Issue, these Isla Vista expats have checked more than a few boxes off their musical bucket list. For starters, they’ve had a song hit Hype Machine’s coveted top slot — twice. They’ve also plugged away and reaped the benefits of some serious hard work, like landing shows with everyone from M.I.A. to Dillon Francis and booking festivals across the country. This week, the band hits another milestone with Back to Life, a four-song EP that threatens to topple their ginormous-sounding, synth-propelled empire. Produced by and recorded with Eric Palmquist (Wavves, Trash Talk, Bad Suns), Back to Life successfully pushes FMLYBND to the heights that they were so close to reaching on their 2013 debut. Yes, it features a new take on that aforementioned chart-topping banger, “Electricity (Rush).” But it also capitalizes on the grand strides the band has made since then. “Young Wild” is the catchy youthful anthem you’d expect from the title, but it also gets way more theatrical than anything FMLYBND has done so far. And we mean that in a good way. Thanks to a heavy hand on the effects, the chorus is both breathy and eerily chaotic, and when the bass drops, it hits you square in the chest. Later, “Out of Touch” mashes up ’80s post-punk and bombastic EDM production to middling effects. It may be the EP’s weakest moment, but it sounds downright enormous. The whole thing closes on a strong note with “Come Alive (Shining),” a song that’s been in the FMLYBND repertoire for some time now but never quite hit the mark the way it does here. It’s punchy and anthemic, and it feels akin to the overthe-top synth operas that make Empire of the Sun such a mesmerizing act to catch live. Speaking of, FMLYBND plays a release show in support of Back to Life on Friday, October 10, at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club ( State St.) at 9 p.m. Call 962-7776 or visit sohosb.com for tickets and info. — Aly Comingore

TOTEM AND TABOO: The large drawing “Medusa’s Scarecrow” rises behind a vessel containing a poison-oak plant in this installation view of Eric Beltz’s exhibit The Cave of Treasures at UCSB’s AD&A Museum.
THE WRITING ON THE WALL
Eric Beltz, The Cave of Treasures. At the UCSB Art, Design & Architecture Museum. Shows through May 1, 2015. Reviewed by Charles Donelan
“
T
o see is also to touch” reads one of several gothic-style inscriptions currently on the walls of the Adele and Herbert Nachman Courtyard Gallery at UCSB’s Art, Design & Architecture (AD&A) Museum. It’s a good thing — at least as far as Eric Beltz’s The Cave of Treasures goes — that this statement is not literal, as the plant growing out of an elaborate sculptural base in the center of the room is in fact poison oak. Beltz, who finished his MFA degree in art at UCSB in 2004, has been named the AD&A Museum’s 2014-15 artist-in-residence, and although he is known primarily for his small and intricate graphite drawings, he has chosen to take this opportunity to go big and expand his vision to monumental proportions, while still retaining his roots. Besides the poison oak plant in its black-and-white ornamental vessel, there are two other major works in this installation: a large silver-and-black drawing on paper called “The Mortal Gorgon Medusa” and an even bigger wall drawing in black and gray titled “Medusa’s Scarecrow.” These drawings build on Beltz’s signature style, which marries exquisite traditional draftsmanship and ornamental design to a disquieting iconography of poisonous plants, dangerous mythological figures, and esoteric symbols. Ultimately, the journey through this “cave of treasures” leads to a more holistic view of both nature and culture, in which toxins and scapegoats exist in a healthy synergy with more positively valued life forms. “The Mortal Gorgon Medusa” establishes several keys to the artist and his project. First off, let it be said that Beltz draws good leaves. The intricate mound that forms the base of this figure and the mandala-like wreath floating just above are both made of delicious and graceful interwoven strands of vegetation. The fact that the specific leaves are those of a variety of poisonous and/or psychogenic plants lends the image an undercurrent of menace, something that will become a recurrent theme in the show. Beltz ties his imagery together by interpolating several large wall texts, each of which is arranged so as to render the reading of them slightly difficult and nonsequential. “Day after day / This superb growth / Which unfolds / Its beauties / Darkness Desire and / Wrathful Wisdom,” says one. A suggestive fragment, it sounds torn from the pages of Macbeth. Medusa, the dark spirit that presides over the entire exhibition, is a figure of great pathos. Once beautiful, she was raped by Poseidon inside a temple to Athena. In retaliation for this defilement of her sanctuary, Athena transformed Medusa into the legend we know today, which is of a woman so profoundly ugly that merely to glimpse her face turns men to stone. In the show’s largest work, “Medusa’s Scarecrow,” viewers confront a totem pole that towers over the space, stretching some 20 feet up the wall of the gallery. Rather than show the infamous Medusa’s head itself, Beltz has chosen to create an image of her victims as they have become enshrined and then overgrown. The heads of staring men are stacked from floor to ceiling, and they are surrounded by creepy branches that weave in between them before ending in what appear to be either eagle or snake heads. The show’s wall text claims that Medusa “finds refuge and purpose in the natural world,” but this stack of skulls adds up to one very phallic tree and seems to imply as much chaos and death as any kind of natural order. In any case, Beltz has done an outstanding job of transforming this transitional space into something dark and deep as any cave, and that in itself is a treasure. october 9, 2014

T
eamwork has always been at the heart of Nebula Dance Lab, but next week the Santa Barbara dance company is taking that collaborative spirit to new realms. Starting Thursday, October 9, and stretching through the weekend, the group will present Dreamscape, a multipart, evening-length production that attempts to “explore the inner landscape at work within the dream world,” explained executive director Devyn Duex. Whi le D reams cape brings with it a number of firsts for the four-yearold company, the show’s biggest milestone goes back to its start. Nebula has always prided itself on being a collaborative force, but Dreamscape found the company pushing those joint efforts further than ever before. “Our foundation has always been based on a lab environment, where collaboration and experimentation thrive,” said Duex. “But this season, our repertory expanded by extending the collaboration to involve everyone, and in this case, the largest transformation of our process was including the choreography in this collaborative approach. Dancers became choreographers, directors, and more. The entire piece was developed internally by the company and two guest choreographers.” Dancer Meghan Morelli came up with the initial idea behind Dreamscape, recalled Duex, who said that the concept of dreaming “seemed to lend itself well to a fully collaborative process.” From there, the company worked together to discuss, storyboard, and workshop Dreamscape’s 14 subsections. “The process was built on respect, ability to share ideas freely, experimentation without judgment, and a lot of laughing,” said Duex, who also notes that this is the first time the company is actively incorporating humor and whimsy
into a production. “We spent a lot of time talking through the reality of each moment and learning to understand that playing true to the reality is what creates truly humorous experiences.” But the list of firsts doesn’t stop there. Dreamscape finds Nebula employing an original score for the first time, too, thanks to musician and arranger William Pasley. “It’s a ‘dream’ for any company,” laughed Duex, who said that Pasley has been working closely with the company since the early stages of production. “Every time we get a new sound, it does provide an opportunity to inform the choreography in a new way,” she explained. “It might allow a dancer to take some of the movement into a new texture or intention than initially anticipated. It has definitely kept the process fresh throughout.” In keeping with Nebula’s long-standing history of community outreach, the company will also be staging a free matinee performance for underserved youth in Santa Barbara County. Thanks to the help of the High Tide Foundation and Dan and Katherine Gunther, 130 children will not only see Dreamscape but also participate in a post-show Q&A and a company-led workshop. As for what Duex hopes the kids (and adults) take away from Dreamscape, it’s simple: “We just hope audiences will be transported, trigger memories, spark imaginations — inspire.”

I was talking to someone recently about the struggle of working within the electronic medium after coming up in a more live rock setting — specifically, the idea that a lot of music-making programs are made to essentially take the legwork out of the creative process. That’s interesting. I came from a classical background as a violin player. My first couple of bands had no electronic elements, so I found electronic music more of a struggle. But, in general, being in a band has
What’s one song you wish you had written? The first song that popped in my head is “Climax” by Usher.

or fans, there’s nothing better than when a favorite band gets back together. That’s certainly the case for Toad the Wet Sprocket devotees. After close to 15 years apart, the Santa Barbara group not only released an excellent album, New Constellation, but they also hit the road for an extended tour, playing well over 100 shows around the U.S. as headliners and as the opening act for Counting Crows. And now they are bringing their music home (well, to Solvang, but close enough) for a concert that will also serve as a fundraiser for the Santa Barbara Birth Center’s Birth Subsidy Fund, which provides financial assistance for those who cannot afford the services offered by the nonprofit. I recently chatted with frontman Glen Phillips about the Toad reboot, how things have changed, and how they’ve stayed the same.
How is Toad different this time around? We all have a lot more life under our belts, and we were able to choose to come back to this rather than have fate make it occur. When we got signed [in the ’90s], it was total luck. We were all going to go to different colleges and break up. And the next thing, we were like, “Oh, we got a record deal. We’ll get dropped in two years; let’s try to do it.” … Now that we’re here again, we decided to look at what we are, what do we actually sound like, what are our strengths, what do we want to say [with our music].

S.B. BIRTH CENTER by Michelle Drown
feel like the place I’m in now is realizing that happiness is not about getting what I want, but it’s a practice. … The songs are still mostly like “I’m sad, I’m sad,” but I feel like there is some angle on them that is a little less navel-gazey and a little more like “… and you probably are, too.” [Laughs.] The intention is a more shared experience. If it’s just about me, I increasingly feel that’s just narcissism and I should do something else with my life. If I’m going to do this, it should be useful. It still needs to mean something to me, but I’ve got to keep in mind, “Is this a selfish exercise, or is this something that can be a tool for somebody else; could it be worth it for them?”
Did you slide right back into a working groove musically? Yeah, we just sound
like Toad.We kind of can’t help it. [Laughs.] It’s a pretty automatic thing. There’s nothing else we can do, and I like what we do. But it was really fascinating to see how effortless it was for us to just do the Toad thing. … We didn’t want to make a record that was nostalgic — we have enough of that working for us already. [Laughs.] … It took a while to put songs together, and I wanted to make sure that if we were going to do a record, it had soul and had spirit and that the songs were worthy of putting out. I feel like we managed to do that.

From Lizzie McGuire “Top Ten TV Mom” -CNN
For Kids, Teens & Young Adults
What’s your favorite song on the record? Probably “Golden Age.” And if I’m
going to choose a song that’s [very] Toad, I think “California Wasted” is that. … We could have put out product at any point, but we did an album that I think everybody in the band really loved and cared about and is proud of. And we got to do the tour. … Usually, at the end of the tour nobody wants to see each other, but [this time] everybody gave each other a hug. It shouldn’t have been possible, but the fact that it is the four of us and that we managed to make that record and do that tour and still smile and have a decent time doing it is pretty remarkable.

SON OF HAMAS: The Green Prince focuses on Mosab Hassan Yousef (left), a Palestinian who became a spy for Israel, and his handler, Gonen Ben Yitzhak (right).
SPIES IN THE WILD The Green Prince. Mosab Hassan Yousef, Gonen Ben Yitzhak, and Sheikh Hassan Yousef star in a documentary film written by Mosab Hassan Yousef and Nadav Schirman, based on the memoir by Mosab Hassan Yousef, and directed by Schirman. Reviewed by Aly Comingore
F
ans of espionage thrillers, take heed. Director Nadav Schirman’s The Green Prince goes places no Bourne movie ever could. Schirman’s documentary follows the story of Mosab Hassan Yousef — the son of Hamas leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef — who worked as a spy for Israel for close to a decade. While the story circles around, and at times zeros in on, the intensity of Mosab’s betrayal, the majority of The Green Prince focuses on the relationship between the young Mosab and his handler, Gonen Ben Yitzhak, an
agent for the Shin Bet (essentially Israel’s answer to the CIA). The slightly complicated yarn begins when Mosab is just 17, following an arrest involving an arms purchase. Already on the Shin Bet’s radar, the incarcerated Mosab is immediately approached as a potential informant. Early on in the film, Mosab states matter-of-factly that collaborating with Israel is “the most shameful thing you can do — worse than raping your mother.” And yet, as we come to learn, Mosab’s alliances are weaker than they appear, due to a trying upbringing and an early sexual assault by a friend of his father’s. As the story unfolds, Mosab begins to relish his role as a spy. Meanwhile, his relationship with Yitzhak grows increasingly more familiar — a twist that hits a bizarre end by the time the credits role. Through Schirman’s combination of reenactments, real footage, and interviews, the lens begins to focus on the flexing bond between the pair. On the whole, The Green Prince suffers from an abundance of talking-head-style shots. Mosab and Yitzhak are both featured in black-box interviews that make up the majority of the film’s 95-minute runtime. That said, the thrilling tale they weave is so strangely compelling, it almost doesn’t matter that there’s nothing to look at. ■

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF OCTOBER ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19) : Situation #: If you meet resistance or doubt, say this: “Ha! This diversion can’t slow me down, because I am in possession of an invisible magical sword!” And then brandish a few charismatic swipes of your sword to prove that you mean business. Situation #: If angst and worry are preventing your allies from synchronizing their assets with yours, say this: “Begone, dread! For with the power of my wicked crazy songs, I am the destroyer of fear.” And then sing your wicked crazy songs. Situation #: If you’re finding it hard to discern the difference between useless, ugly monsters and useful, beautiful monsters, say this: “I am a useful, beautiful monster!” Your kind will flock to your side.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20) : In her poem “Advice to Myself,” Louise Erdrich speaks of the human heart as “that place you don’t even think of cleaning out. That closet stuffed with savage mementos.” I invite you to use her observations as a prod, Taurus. Now is an excellent time to purge the savage mementos from your heart, and clean the whole place up as best as you can. You don’t have to get all OCD about it. There’s no need to scour and scrub until everything’s spotless. Even a half-hearted effort will set in motion promising transformations in your love life.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) : I hope you will learn more in the next eight months than you have ever before learned in a comparable period. I hope you will make a list of all the subjects you would love to study and all the skills you would love to master, and then devise a plan to gather the educational experiences with which you will reinvent yourself. I hope you will turn your curiosity on full-blast and go in quest of revelations and insights and epiphanies, smashing through the limits of your understanding as you explore the frontiers of sweet knowledge.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22) : Three times a week, I take a hike along a rough path through an oak forest. I say it’s rough
LIBRA
CAPRICORN
because it’s strewn with loose rocks. If I don’t survey the ground as I move, I’m constantly turning my ankles. Or at least that was the case until last week. For two days, with the help of a rake, I cleared many of those bothersome obstacles off the trail. It took several hours, but now the way is smoother. My eyes are free to enjoy the sights that aren’t so close to the ground. I recommend that you do similar work. Stop tolerating inconveniences and irritations that hobble you. Get your foundations in shape to serve you better.
(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): “I am naughtiest of all,” wrote poet Emily Dickinson in a playful letter to Maggie Maher, dated October 1882. In accordance with the astrological omens, I authorize you to let that same declaration fly frequently from your own lips in the coming week. Feel free to invoke other variations on the theme of naughtiness, as well: “I am exploring the frontiers of naughtiness,” for example, or “You need to be naughtier” (said to a person you’d like to get naughty with), or “Being naughty is my current spiritual practice.”
(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19) : Director Michael Bay makes big, loud, fast, melodramatic action films, including Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, and the four Transformers movies. The critics hate him, but he’s unfazed.“I make movies for teenage boys,” he says. “Oh, dear, what a crime,” he adds sarcastically. I love that stance. He knows what he’s good at, and makes no apologies for doing it. I recommend that you cop some of that attitude right now.
LEO
SCORPIO
(July 23 - Aug. 22): American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was ahead of his time. He created the genre of the detective story and mastered the art of Gothic horror tales. According to the Internet Movie Database, 240 films have referenced themes from his work. British writer Aldous Huxley wasn’t a fan of Poe, though. He said Poe was “too poetical — the equivalent of wearing a diamond ring on every finger.” Judging from the astrological omens, I suspect you may be at risk to lapse into a diamond-ring-on-every-finger phase yourself, Leo. While I am all in favor of you unveiling more of your radiant beauty, I’m hoping you won’t go too far. How about wearing diamond rings on just four of your fingers?
(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): “There’s a way not to be broken that takes brokenness to find it,” writes Naomi Shihab Nye in her poem “Cinco de Mayo.” I suspect this describes your situation right now. The bad news is that you are feeling a bit broken. The good news is that this is a special kind of brokenness — a brokenness that contains a valuable secret you have never been ready to learn before now. Allow yourself to feel the full intensity of the brokenness, and you will discover a way to never be broken like this again.
(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): While walking in San Francisco, I passed the Pacific Heights Health Club. The sign out front said, “Birthday suits tailored here.” It was a witty reference to the idea that working out at a gym helps people get their naked bodies in good shape. I’d like to interpret the sign’s message in a different way, and apply it to you. The time is right for you to get back in touch with your raw, original self, and give it the care and the fuel and the treats it has been missing. Who did you start out to be? What does your soul’s blueprint say about who you must become? Home in on your source code and boost its signal.
SAGITTARIUS
PISCES
(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) : In a competitive game show on Japanese TV, 13 people had slabs of meat tied to their foreheads. They then poked their heads up from below, through holes in the floor of an elevated platform, where a hungry lizard was stalking around. But not one of the contestants stuck around when the lizard came to nibble the meat; they all ducked down out of their holes and fled to safety. That was probably wise, although it meant that the prize went unclaimed. Now I’m wondering, Sagittarius, about what might happen if a similar event were staged in your neighborhood. I suspect there’s a chance you would will yourself to stand calmly as the lizard feasted on the meat just inches from your eyes. As much as I admire that kind of poised courage, I want you to know that there are better ways to express it. Be on the lookout for noble challenges with goals that are truly worthy of you.
(Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Horror novelist Stephen King has sold more than 350 million books. But when he was young and destitute, still honing his craft, his self-confidence was low. His breakthrough work was Carrie, about a teenage girl who develops telekinetic powers. But when he was first writing that manuscript on his old manual typewriter, he got so discouraged that he threw his first draft in the trashcan. Luckily for him, his wife retrieved it and convinced him to keep plugging away. Eventually he finished, and later sold the paperback rights for $400,000. I hope you have an ally who will go digging in your garbage to fish out the good stuff you unwisely discard. Or maybe this horoscope will convince you not to scrap it in the first place.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): Republican Jody Hice is running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Georgia’s th Congressional District. To bolster his authority, he repeats quotes by revered figures from American history. One of his favorites has been a gem from the sixth U.S. President, John Quincy Adams: “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” The only problem is, those words were actually written by country singer Dolly Parton, not by Adams. Don’t get fooled by a comparable case of mistaken identity, Virgo. Be on the alert for unwarranted substitutions and problematic switcheroos. Be a staunch fact-checker. Insist on verification.

A
new Mediterranean restaurant named Aladdin Café opened on October 6 at Embarcadero del Norte in Isla Vista, the former longtime home of Javan’s. Owner Sako Abdulhai runs the restaurant with his family, who were raised in the United States by Syrian parents. “We are serving Mediterranean, blending the regional cuisines into one,” said Abdulhai.“We are using the best of the Lebanese, the best of the Jordanian, the best of all that whole culture and making a menu around that.” The sandwich menu includes Beef Shawarma (beef, parsley, tahini, pickles), Chicken Shawarma (chicken, lettuce, garlic sauce, pickles), Falafel (falafel, lettuce, tomato, mint, pickles, tahini), Ground Beef Sandwich, Chicken Sandwich, and Hamburger/Cheeseburger.

YELLOW BELLY OPENS: Reader Brendan tells me that Yellow Belly and Crushcakes Kitchen/Tasting Room have opened at De la Vina Street, the former home of Tap Thai cuisine, which moved to upper State Street. I’m told the eatery will offer soups, salads, and sandwiches. Part of the kitchen will also be used by Shannon Gaston, who’ll open a Crushcakes wedding cake tasting room. The official name of the business will be “Yellow Belly Tap Sucker Bar and Restaurant.” This is word play on a real bird named yellow belly sap sucker. CAPTAIN FATTY’S: Captain Fatty’s Craft Brewery is scheduled to open in November at Calle Real, Unit D, in Goleta. NEW MANDARIN MANAGEMENT: Reader Don sent me an advertisement for Mandarin Palace at State Street in the Five Points Shopping Center. The write-up announces that the restaurant is now under new ownership. CA BANS BAGS: Last week, Governor Jerry Brown signed the nation’s first statewide ban on single-use plastic bags at grocery and convenience stores. A national coalition of plastic bag manufacturers said it would seek a voter referendum to repeal the law, which is scheduled to take effect in July 2015. Under SB , plastic bags will be phased out MORE of checkout counters at large FOOD
A FAMILY AFFAIR: The staff at Aladdin Café includes (from left) Scott Abdulhai, Steven Abdulhai, Georgia Tahan, Wanda Abdulhai, Fred Abdulhai, Maan Najjar, owner/manager Sako Abdulhai, and Chef Hathim Aziz.
grocery stores and supermarkets such as Walmart and Target starting next summer, and convenience stores and pharmacies in 2016. The law does not apply to bags used for fruits, vegetables, or meats, or to shopping bags used at other retailers. It allows grocers to charge a fee of at least 10 cents for using paper bags.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On 10/29/2014 at 1:00 PM, RSM&A Foreclosure Services, LLC as the duly appointed Trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust Recorded 07/07/2008 as Document Number: 2008‑0040091 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, executed by: THE SAMUEL AND ELEANOR MARTINEZ LIVING TRUST, UTD FEBRUARY 27, 2008,
SAMUEL J. MARTINEZ, SR. AND ELEANOR R. MARTINEZ, TRUSTEES as Trustor, Bank of America, N.A., a National Banking Association, as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at time of sale in lawful money of the United States, by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state) at the following location: At the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street., Santa Barbara, all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County, California describing the land therein: Legal description as more fully described in said deed of trust. The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 319 El Sueno Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93110. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note (s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to‑wit: $456,675.00 (Estimated*) *Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. 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 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. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the 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 (714) 277‑4845 or visit this Internet Web Site www.usa‑foreclosure. com, using the file number, 14CA00188‑1, assigned to this case. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not be immediately reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation.
