ost Santa Barbara County residents didn’t vote on Tuesday, but those who did made one thing clear: They didn’t support Measure P. Shot down by a whopping 62.65 percent of voters, the contentious initiative — which would have banned all new fracking, acidizing, and cyclic steam injection wells in the county’s unincorporated regions — pitted environmentalists sounding the alarm on climate change against the oil industry calling for fair regulations. And the oil industry — with help from operators in Santa Barbara County and beyond — dug into its deep pockets, shelling out approximately $6.6 million to defeat the measure, while Measure P supporters raised just more than $400,000. Measure P took root in the spring when, in mere weeks, an activist group dubbing themselves the Water Guardians gathered 16,000 signatures in support of the ban. Environmental groups including the Environmental Defense Center (EDC) and the Community Environmental Council (CEC), as well as the county chapter of the Democratic Party, Assemblymember Das Williams, and State Senator HannahBeth Jackson, also joined the Guardians in advocating for the initiative. But being outmatched more than 16 times over in fundraising and facing a low-turnout midterm election with little else to galvanize progressive voters — and, in Measure P itself, a lot to galvanize conservative voters — getting the ban passed proved impossible. “You fought a righteous fight. Your voices mattered. You were the spark that has started a true grassroots movement for change in Santa Barbara County,” said Owen Bailey, head of the EDC, to a packed but somber Measure P–supporting crowd at the Piano Riviera Lounge.“Seven million dollars may indeed buy a victory tonight, 10

but that victory will be short-lived. We leave this campaign with a veritable army,” Bailey continued, vowing that the environmental community will fight future drilling projects. Prominent Water Guardian Rebecca Claassen made similar promises to keep keeping an eye on the area’s oil industry. “This campaign was the beginning of the fight — not the end,” she said. “We want to sincerely thank all of Measure P’s supporters for their enthusiasm and tireless efforts in this great cause, a cause that will never waiver and only build from this campaign onward.” Last November, the Board of Supervisors’ approval of Santa Maria Energy’s 136-well cyclic steam injection project brought that extraction method to the county consciousness. The passage of Measure P, Santa Maria Energy officials argued during the campaign, would have spelled death for that project, as the company hadn’t secured all of its permits pre-election. “Now we’re going to be able to build that project. We’re very excited about that,” said Bob Poole, the company’s public and government affairs manager. Speaking to the voters’ strong rejection of the measure, Poole said,“We are very humbled. What we look forward to is continuing the discussion on energy that we, Santa Maria Energy, were instrumental in beginning through our process.” A similar but further-reaching initiative in San Benito County, authored by the same law firm that wrote Measure P, passed handily with 57 percent approval. And in Texas, the city of Denton became the first in the state to ban fracking, with 59 percent of voters saying yes. cont’d page 17

Tom Sneddon (pictured), the no-nonsense, tough-talking Santa Barbara district attorney who served five terms without any credible opposition, died of cancer November 1 at the age of 73. While news reports of Sneddon’s passing highlighted his zero-for-two record prosecuting singer Michael Jackson on child molestation charges, his career is much harder than that to encapsulate. Sneddon was famously quicktempered and combative as a public figure, but his office was singularly stable and calm compared to other district attorneys’ offices throughout the state, notorious as hotbeds for political infighting. Sneddon’s managerial genius transcended his clear status as office alpha dog. He either inherited or hired a number of talented and peculiar attorneys, and he saw fit not to get in their way. Despite his profile as a hard-charging law-and-order prosecutor, he proved surprisingly restrained in seeking the death penalty. Defense attorneys recalled his door was always open, and if they had serious objections to how a case was filed, he would give them a hearing. Where his predecessor Stan Roden had fostered a distant relationship with law enforcement, Sneddon was far more traditional in his approach. His relations with former county sheriff Jim Thomas were both politically and personally very close. Together, they worked the county supervisors hard to ensure funding was maintained at levels they deemed adequate. That — coupled with Sneddon’s insistence on trying one or two high-profile cases a year — did much to ensure good morale within the department and career longevity among attorneys previously inclined to seek greener pastures. Sneddon was first hired by the District Attorney’s Office in 1969 and quickly rose up the ranks to become chief trial deputy. In 1973, he ran for judge and lost against a crowded field. In 1982, Sneddon faced token opposition when his predecessor Roden’s term expired and he declined to seek reelection. When Sneddon retired in 2006, his ten— Nick Welsh ure was among the longest of any DA in the state.

Aubrey Wadford (pictured), accused of fatally stabbing former girlfriend Angela Laskey in her West Olivos Street apartment during a domestic dispute on 10/29, has been charged with murder. He has not yet entered a plea and is scheduled to appear back in court on 11/12. Wadford had reportedly abused Laskey in the past, authorities said, but a search of Santa Barbara court records did not reveal any prior criminal cases. Wadford and Laskey’s 2-year-old daughter was in the apartment at the time of the killing. She was unharmed, and Laskey’s mother recently traveled from Dumfries, Scotland, to take custody of the girl. Wadford remains in County Jail on $1 million bail.

A company built on preventing emergencies jumped in this week to handle a different sort of challenge, that of saving the Santa Barbara tradition of erecting a holiday tree in front of the Arlington Theatre. Consumer Fire Products, Inc. — which is based in both Goleta and Oregon and produces exterior fire-protection systems and window covers — rose to the occasion and donated the necessary funds when it was learned that Southern California Edison would provide the tree but not pay for the estimated $20,000 in cutting and transportation costs. For the fourth year in a row, the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition is putting on its Light Up the Night campaign and distributing 1,400 free bike lights to low-income cyclists. Cosponsored by the City of Santa Barbara and Measure A Partner Jurisdictions, and powered by 30 volunteers, the yearly initiative is meant to increase the safety and visibility of riders who use bicycles as their primary mode of transportation.

Oil Industry Polluting Ventura?
Toxic Metals and Salts Found in Coastal Watersheds
I
BY M AT T K E T T M A N N
s the oil industry responsible for elevated levels of arsenic and other toxic substances along the northern Ventura coast, where more than 500,000 play in the sand and waves each year? Or is the runoff from the canyons next to Highway just natural? Those are the questions that remain after a report released last week confirmed that the watersheds from Seacliff to Solimar beaches do indeed show higher-than-expected amounts of certain metals, salts, and organic compounds, some of which may be associated with oil drilling techniques. The report, which was authored by UCSB Bren School alumni Alex Dragos and Eric Hopkins of the consulting firm Blue Tomorrow along with UCSB professor Arturo Keller, advocates that more research be done before any blame is assigned. But the Northern Ventura County Coastal Watershed Project does posit that the oil industry’s extensive, decadesold infrastructure of roadways and drilling pads may be exacerbating the extensive erosion that releases the naturally occurring substances into the watershed. It also highlights the possibility that water injection drilling (in which produced water is pushed into the earth to loosen the oil) and hydraulic fracturing (a k a fracking, where water and chemicals are pumped in the ground to crack the geologic structures and release oil) may be contributing to the heavier base flow in certain canyons. As is common for older fields where the free-flowing oil is harder to find, both techniques have been used along that coastline, including 380 million gallons of produced water injected back into the fields in 2013 and three known fracks in Line Canyon. The study ponders whether the heavier flows reported in Line and Amphitheater canyons could be because the added pressure is forcing ancient, arseniclaced water out of deep deposits. More alarmingly, it notes that the flows may be the injected liquids themselves coming to the surface. “We suspect that this base flow is originating from a very deep source, but there is uncertainty as to what’s driving that,” explained Dragos. “Whether that’s the result of oil field operations or just some tectonic activity, we don’t know, and we recommend that further testing and continued monitoring be done.” Vintage Petroleum LLC, a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, forwarded questions to the California Independent Petro-
TRICKING TROUBLE? Potentially worrisome results turned up in a recent report on the watersheds from Seacliff to Solimar beaches.
leum Association, whose chief executive officer, Rock Zierman, responded with an email statement. “The presence of sediments, dissolved solids, and naturally occurring minerals in runoff water would be expected along the entire range of coastal watersheds,” he wrote. “As the report itself notes, the sediment loading and constituents found are indeed not unique to the Northern Ventura watershed. Energy operations in Ventura and elsewhere are permitted by a number of agencies whose focus is on protecting the environment and safeguarding our watersheds. Our members routinely review Storm Water Management practices and will review this report to determine if further best management practices may be gleaned.” Vintage actually funded the study via a Clean Water Act civil suit settlement reached in May 2013 with Santa Barbara’s Environmental Defense Center related to runoff from the Rincon Grubb oil field. The Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment oversaw those monies and issued a contract to Blue Tomorrow to analyze the impact of the entire Rincon and San Miguelito oil fields, where more than 400 wells have been drilled since the early 20th century. About 275 people live on that stretch of coastline, along with the estimated 570,000 beachgoers and 140,000 campers who visit each year. Regardless of the cause, the study revealed that the levels of some salts and metals were already higher than what current regulations prescribe in three of the canyons, with some being, according to Dragos, “well above” what will be allowed when stricter guidelines for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, or NPDES, permits are released next summer. Calls to the County of Ventura to determine whether the report would trigger any additional monitoring or policy reconsiderations were not returned by press deadline. Despite the steady traffic, surfers, and beachgoers on this stretch of coast, Dragos agreed it does remain a bit of a no-man’s-land when it comes to environmental monitoring. “These watersheds haven’t really been studied that much,” he explained. “We’re not pointing any fingers; we’re not saying that it’s coming from the oil field operators. We just tested the water … and we do think there are definite concerns.” ■

Privatizing the Muni Links?
When Santa Barbara’s Municipal Golf Course opened 58 years ago, area historians would later conclude that the event signified the emergence of a middle class big enough to sustain a sport that had hitherto been the exclusive domain of the leisure class. In coming weeks, the City Council will be forced to ponder what the steady decline of paying customers signifies and what can be done about it. One choice is for the city’s general fund to underwrite the cost of the golf course, up until now paid exclusively from the city’s Golf Enterprise Fund. Another is whether City Hall should farm out the links to a private contractor to keep the greens in the black. According to Parks and Recreation czar Nancy Rapp, the number of people playing golf has been dropping steadily — both nationally and locally — at the same time a number of new courses have come on line. Golfers in general are also getting older, and despite efforts by city recreational officials to stimulate interest in younger players, they are playing fewer rounds. At its height, the Muni Course saw more than 100,000 rounds a year. Recently, it’s dipped to 62,000. But it must still be maintained. As a result, Rapp said, the Municipal course has been forced to dip increasingly into reserves. She said the account now hovers at around $275,000 when it should be at $570,000. If current trends continue, she predicted, the reserves would be blown within 12-18 months. Currently, the city contracts out the restaurant operation at the Muni links as well as the golf pro shop. Both of those contracts come due in 2016. Should City Hall seek to contract out the consolidated operation, 2016 would clearly be the time to do so. Currently, 11 city workers are employed to maintain the course. None of them would reportedly lose their job if the contract-out option were pursued. Instead, they’d be absorbed into the Parks and Recreation Department until retirement, while their positions would be phased out. In the meantime, Rapp said her department was investigating other ways to generate traffic and revenue from the 105-acre facility. Other cities have embraced something called “foot-golf,” a fusion of soccer and golf in which the players kick the ball into an 18-inch hole. Likewise, she said, Frisbee golf is being — Nick Welsh explored.

COUNTY The County Planning Commission voted unanimously last week to install a 4.5-foot-high, 1,400-foot-long fence along a section of the Isla Vista bluffs and to look at extending the fence further west in the near future. The fencing — wooden poles covered with chain-link material that will run to the top of the poles to prevent sitting — comes amid growing cries for increased protections along the cliffs, from which three young adults have accidentally fallen to their deaths in the last three years. Since 2001, seven people have died as a result of falling from the bluffs. Since 2010, 20 people have fallen but survived. Earlier this month, two young adults suffered nonfatal falls.

With a vote from the supervisors, reconstruction of the Joseph Centeno Cuyama Pool and Aquatics Complex — opened in 2010 but closed since 2012 after a leak and collapse — can get underway and put the center on track for reopening. Last year, the county’s insurer — on the hook for the repair costs — completed an investigation that attributed the leak to a disconnected pipe that pumped water into the ground, which collapsed the earth and cracked the pool. This week, the board authorized an agreement to have Ravatt Albrecht & Associates, Inc. serve as the architectural and engineering consultant.

The fixes are estimated to cost about $1.7 million; the original cost of the complex was $2.4 million. There’ll be a 172-foot rig towering above Goleta Beach for the next three months, as the most visible part of the Southern California Gas Company’s expansion of La Goleta Gas Storage facility is underway. The rig, which was installed 11/3, can be seen across the Goleta Valley and will be lit at night so airplanes don’t hit it. It’s part of the project to add 3 billion to 5 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity to the field’s existing 21.5 billion cubic feet, which sits in a 300-foot-thick layer of porous sandstone about 4,000 feet below the surface. The third annual Santa Barbara County Veterans Stand Down on 10/18 served 490 veterans, 117 of whom were homeless and 30 of whom were women, according to Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, who started the event in the area in 2012. Lavagnino thanked the 500 volunteers who helped provide 500 breakfasts, 700 lunches, 2,000 bottles of water, 1,500 packaged snacks, 113 haircuts, 391 bus tokens, 52 flu shots, and 108 PTSD counseling sessions. Also offered were medical and dental exams and legal advice. Nearly 50 veterans’ pets also benefited from microchipping and rabies vaccines. A beautiful rain fell 10/31 and continued to spurt and sprinkle through 11/1. Around the county, rainfall gauges measured from a high of 1.61 inches at Twitchell Reservoir to about 0.63 inches at SBCC and the Cuyama Fire Station. Santa Barbara saw 0.85 inches at the County Building, Montecito registered 0.68 inches, the Carpinteria Fire Station 0.75 inches, Lompoc City Hall 1.07 inches, and Santa Maria Public Works 1.43.

The ‘Dangerous’ Dog Dilemma
Discussion of problematic pooches got Dickensian Tuesday at the Board of Supervisors. “Over my life, I’ve seen the best of pets and the worst of pets,” said Supervisor Doreen Farr, who, along with the rest of her colleagues, voted to postpone making proposed changes to the county’s “dangerous dogs” ordinance. Currently, dogs deemed a threat are automatically euthanized, but Animal Services began tinkering this year with the finer points of the decision process. County staff — with input from animal groups including DOGGED SUPPORT: Yvonne Kwame and service dog members of DAWG, who showed Harley watched the supervisors’ discussion. up on Tuesday — had suggested creating the new classifications of “potentially dangerous” and “vicious,” the latter of which would only propose euthanasia, not mandate it. Dogs that fall under those categories could be required to be kept indoors or in a secure enclosure, possibly padlocked and with concrete floors, and ordered to wear reflective collars. In explaining their vote, the supervisors said they wanted the language to be made clearer and questioned the need for the changes now. (According to Public Health, the county has held four “dangerous dog” hearings this year, but figures for previous years weren’t available.) Mainly, the supervisors raised concerns about enforcement, given Animal Services’ current staffing levels and the increased costs the changes could incur. Supervisor Peter Adam, saying enforcement would make for a “regulatory morass,” addressed the DAWG activists in the room, who pointed to the cases of Duke and Daisy — dogs who killed three cats and are now awaiting word from a judge, expected later this month, over whether they will be euthanized or allowed to be re-homed in Montana. “These particular dogs here didn’t have a lapse of judgment,” Adam said. “These things are like ticking time bombs.” Jennie Reinish, a member of DAWG’s board of directors who got emotional in advocating for the changes (and that those changes apply retroactively to Duke and Daisy), called Tuesday’s vote “an outcome that nobody, — Lyz Hoffman even in our worst nightmares, thought would happen.”

Chumash Contract for Cops The supervisors gave Chumash leadership unanimous good news and divided bad news this week. The board voted 5-0 that the tribe can — on its own dime — contract with the Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement services on the existing reservation. But the county won’t let the tribe’s Camp 4 dreams become reality without a fight. In the supes’ closed-session discussion — spurred by an environmental report last month from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs that paves the way for final approval to annex the 1,400-acre property — they voted 3-2 to appeal the report and initiate litigation if the federal government grants the tribe’s request, which many speculate could happen by the end of the year. Chumash Chair Vincent Armenta said he wasn’t surprised by the county’s decision but called it “hasty, irrational, ignorant.” He repeated the tribe’s sentiment that the county should establish a government-to-government relationship with the Chumash, and he called the potential lawsuit “narrow-minded” and “ironic.” Armenta also took issue with what he said, in regard to Camp 4, is the county “suing over $80,000 in property taxes” when the tribe on the same day agreed to pay $849,000 annually for the aforementioned law enforcement services. Revisiting a June discussion, the supervisors okayed a plan worked out by Sheriff Bill Brown and the tribe that will see the Chumash foot the yearly bill for five deputies to fill one 24/7 position, patrolling the reservation but available for offreservation emergencies in the Santa Ynez Valley; the tribe will also cover the costs of a patrol vehicle and an office. The contract will go into effect in January and be good through June 2034. The tribe wasn’t willing to waive their sovereign immunity, as the lack of a waiver wouldn’t allow the county to sue if necessary; County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni said that remained an issue but that the contract was a “good business decision” for the county. Third District Supervisor Doreen Farr said she had some “misgivings” about the agreement but was comforted by a longstanding contract between the tribe and County Fire. Farr also had Ghizzoni add a stipulation to the agreement that the contract wasn’t an “affirmative support” of the tribe’s Camp 4 application. — Lyz Hoffman

Voters also swiftly turned down Measure S, the $288 million school facilities bond that would have modernized and replaced about a dozen buildings at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC), including some of those on its two satellite campuses. Measure S required 55 percent approval to pass but received only 48.89 percent. Opponents cautioned that the bond requested was too large and not considerate enough of community concerns. Consternation over this year’s measure comes in stark contrast to the 2008 election, when City College pitched a $77 million bond measure and scored 70 percent approval and little opposition. Glen Mowrer, who helped fight the measure, said the “No” team was “gratified that the people of this community understood our message.” Continuing, Mowrer said, “A community college is a public asset for the community it serves. The loss of this perspective is what cost SBCC this time around. If SBCC comes back with delineated needs, a specific cost, and a promise to actually meet the needs we as a community see as appropriate, we will be supportive.” Measure S supporters — raising nearly $340,000 to opponents’ $3,000. “I am really quite disappointed,” said SBCC President Lori Gaskin.“This loss hurts.” Gaskin explained that she’s been asked about a plan B, but because the state is unwilling to fund facilities improvements and the community has spoken, the school has “nowhere to go.”“Community colleges are woefully underfunded,” she said. With $19 million in remaining funds from 2008’s Measure V bond, construction for a general classroom building will break ground in the next few months, which will replace 32 portable classrooms. Out of the 10 other community colleges around the state that put bond measures on their districts’ ballots, eight passed. Squeaking out a victory was longtime Congressmember Lois Capps, who beat actor Chris
Mitchum with 51.6 percent of the vote.“It’s the best of all times and the hardest of all times,” Capps said, referring to her victory juxtaposing with the Republicans’ takeover of the Senate. “It’s going to be hard, but I have a track record of working across the aisle.” Capps and company had expressed concern recently that Mitchum, who has expressed Tea Party values but doesn’t affiliate himself with that group, could eke out a win with a combination of a redrawn district that now includes more registered Republicans and a low-turnout election. Last up for reelection in 2012, Capps pummeled challenger and former lieutenant governor Abel Maldonado by 9 percentage points. But while some questioned the extent to which Mitchum could woo moderate voters, in recent days, Mitchum’s team released its own polling showing him with a possible lead over Capps. Mitchum also attracted the support recently of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who briefly came to town to campaign for the Republican candidate. “I’m obviously disappointed,” Mitchum said of the outcome. He added, though, that the overwhelming loss of Measure P shows a “rejection of the liberal ideals.” But while Mitchum scored 49.5 percent of the vote in San Luis Obispo County, Capps bested him by a larger margin in Santa Barbara County, winning 75,307 total votes to Mitchum’s 70,673. Capps said that she and her team — who have been focusing heavily on voter outreach efforts in Isla Vista in the weeks leading up to Tuesday — spent the wee hours of the morning until early evening walking door-to-door in the seaside college town to encourage UCSB and SBCC students to vote. Over the course of the campaign, Capps raised $2 million to Mitchum’s $400,000. Of the 196,998 voters registered in the county, only 84,761 — or 43 percent — cast ballots in this election. The last midterm election, in November 2010, saw a nearly 68 percent turnout. ■

nonprofits that accomplish very little and some businesses that do good. The thing to look for is the impact. For-profit companies can have a social mission, as well; this is a model that potentially can do a lot. I think there is potential for more companies to step up to the plate, and I think that they will have to, partly because if they want to hire and retain millennials, they’ve got to have that social engagement somewhere.
You open A Path Appears with a quote from the Chinese writer Lu Xun: “Hope is like a path in the countryside. Originally, there is nothing — but as people walk this way again and again, a path appears.” This is a lovely metaphor, but how applicable is it in a world beset with so many seemingly intractable problems? We have seen real progress. If you think about children dying each day, which is a very basic metric, the number has dropped about half since I started covering global poverty. Since 1990, 100 million children’s lives have been saved through pretty basic interventions. In one of our chapters we talk about blindness. We saw a glaucoma operation that costs $40 and can be done by a nurse in 20 minutes that restored sight to a woman who had been blind for years. Things like this make us pretty optimistic about the world. We do have to acknowledge the challenges that exist, but it is also important to acknowledge that there really has been progress and that we have a toolbox now of understandings that can enable us to address many of the remaining challenges. The first section of your book provides numerous examples of significant changes that have been made by ordinary individuals. Your stories are moving and hopeful, but do they add up to the large-scale change that is needed? One of the crucial things that individuals can do is demonstrate what works and what doesn’t work. The Kibera School for Girls isn’t going to solve the global problem of kids out of school, but it can provide lessons for the state school system. For Kenyans it shows that kids in the slums are not helpless. These are demonstration projects that can also inspire others. I also think it is important for governments to step up to the plate; these are individual efforts that can fill in some of the gaps and also show the way forward. The second section of your book examines the role of charity. While there is no question that philanthropy can make a difference in the lives of some people, critics point out that when the charity stops, the benefits also stop. In your

He has won two Pulitzer Prizes, and in 2011 he was a finalist for columns that focused on the world’s most impoverished and disenfranchised people. His just-released book, A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity, co-authored with his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, combines scholarly research with concrete examples to show how ordinary people can make a difference in the world today. A Path Appears is the subject of this interview, as well as a keynote address Kristof will deliver Thursday, November 13, at 8 p.m. in UCSB’s Campbell Hall. His talk kicks off the conference Democratizing Technologies: Assessing the Role of NGOs in Shaping Technological Futures, which will be hosted by the Center for Nanotechnology in Society and held in Corwin Pavilion on November 14-15.

view, what is the proper role of philanthropy? One of the most crucial kinds of intervention is in advocacy. We can think about charities in the context of delivering services, and indeed that is part of their job, but advocacy is also getting governments to step up to the plate. They can also give more voice to those who don’t have one. You and I can’t get all 50 million kids who are out of school in school, but for modest sums of money we can help a few kids get the education they otherwise would not get. Just because you can’t help everybody, it doesn’t mean that you should help nobody. In failed states, it’s obviously much harder. But that’s not the typical situation. Usually when governments are failing, it’s because they’re making other priorities. The challenge becomes trying to get a government to spend a little less on military and a little more on education or health care, for example. Successful efforts also provide a demonstration effect for other countries. It doesn’t all work perfectly, but I think that just as bad governance can be contagious, so good governance can be, as well. This is part of the process of scaling. NGOs [nongovernmental organizations] are playing an increasing role in areas that have
traditionally been the responsibility of government. Is this a good thing? Many NGOs are from the Global North; they are often beholden to their funders; they have been criticized as being the most recent incarnation of the “white man’s burden.” What do you see as the appropriate role of NGOs in making sustainable change in the Global South? I think that the general point you make is true, but I would push back a little bit that it’s not the entire picture. There are extraordinary NGOs from the Global South — for example, BRAC [formerly Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee]. These NGOs don’t suffer the backlash that American NGOs sometimes experience. I think that one crucial thing is for NGOs to do more listening. They need to have a lot of people from the countries in which they operate. Over time, gradually, these efforts can make a difference. Ideally, these countries [like South Korea] will develop and can graduate from NGOs. I think we’re beginning to see more of a role for business. There used to be a distinction made between for-profit companies as evil, nonprofits as noble. Now we know that things are a lot more complicated than that. There are some
What are your thoughts on the role of technology in forging the path that will improve the lives of the poor around the globe? Technology has a huge role to play. Whether it’s health care or agriculture, there are enormous gains to be realized — technology can be transformational. In terms of social media, this can create a measure of accountability. If a government announces its education budget and $100,000 is going to a school in that town, and the people access that information and realize that there is no school in this town but that the $100,000 is going into the pockets of a corrupt mayor, that creates a toolbox for people to know what is going on. I think we are seeing, already, that access to information creates a toolbox for accountability; it makes it a little harder to steal money. I would say, though, that the banking applications of mobile phones are the most important of all. They enable people to store money safely, transfer money — that may trump everything else. In your final chapter, you comment: “We sometimes paralyze ourselves with the conviction that global problems are hopeless, but in fact this should be a remarkably hopeful time to be alive.” What are some of your suggestions for things that the readers of this interview can do right now to make a difference? There is no one transcendent thing to recommend. It really depends what the reader is interested in. If the reader is interested in global development, then the Deworm the World Initiative is incredibly cost-effective; you can deworm a child for a year. If it is poverty in the U.S., then how about Reach Out and Read, where for $20 you can sponsor a kid? The program improves reading and gets kids ready for school. Or browse sites like GlobalGiving.org, which describes itself as “a charity fundraising web site that gives social entrepreneurs and non-profits from anywhere in the world a chance to raise the money that they need to improve their communities.” One of the basic challenges we face in the U.S. is an efficacy gap — people can be judgmental about the needy and step away from it. We need to counter this.

Lynne passed away peacefully the morning of October , . She was born in Hoosick Falls, New York, on November , , to Thomas and Jocelyn Petersen. She was the eldest of six children and at an early age, stepped in to help her parents and beloved grandmother Esther raise her two younger brothers and the triplets, two girls and a boy who blessed the family in . This early responsibility surrounded by her loving family defined Lynne’s warmth, generosity and lifelong love of family celebrations. In , the family moved to Goleta, and Lynne graduated from San Marcos High School in . Following high school, Lynne joined UCSB to pursue an administrative position in the office of the Chancellor. The role of Administrative Assistant proved to fall short of her desire to travel and see the world, so in her father drove her to an interview for a job as a flight attendant for TWA. Of the many applicants, Lynne was the only candidate from Santa Barbara who was offered a job. After completing her training in Kansas City, Missouri, she was stationed in San Francisco, where she launched a glamorous and exciting -year career of flying to some of the most exotic places on earth. Lynne loved her job, and traveled all over the world,

visiting every important sight in every major city of the world. As a Flight Attendant, she would go on to log so many miles flying across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans that she could have traveled to the moon and back ten times. On one of her visits home in , Lynne met the love of her life, Dennis Merenbach. They married November , , in Santa Barbara, where they lived a happy and exciting life together filled with travel, adventure and a love of life. Lynne developed a passion for sports and shared Dennis’ commitment and passion for his alma mater, USC. Together, they embraced the USC motto “Fight On”, attended many Rose Bowl games together and lived the USC motto to the fullest during the challenges that life inevitably presents. She also loved the NFL’s San Francisco ’ers and went to two of their most exciting Super Bowl games. Not content with field sports alone, she also developed a love for sports cars and Formula One racing, having traveled to see races in many exotic cities of the world, including twice to the ne plus ultra of Formula One, Monte Carlo. When not enjoying the excitement of watching Formula One with Dennis, they were often found touring in their Corvette and spending time with their good friends in the Santa Barbara Corvette Club. But Lynne’s greatest passion was for her family. She dearly loved her husband, his children, her parents and her three brothers and two sisters. She loved to have her family close and host celebrations of life’s big events. Being the most gracious hostess and gourmet cook, Lynne loved to entertain and decorate her home during the holidays. One of Lynne’s happiest times of the year was when her family and all their children gathered to celebrate Christmas together. Her Christmas trees decorated in all their splendor with beautiful ornaments from around the world always delighted the children and made their anticipation of opening presents that much sweeter. Lynne was most loved, had the biggest, most generous heart, and always wore a smile that was full of Life. Lynne passed away on October , , one month before her th birthday and her th wedding anniversary. “Perhaps they are not stars in the sky but rather openings in the heavens through which our loved ones pour out their love and let us know they are happy.” Lynne is survived by her husband, and her two stepchildren, Michael William Merenbach
(Vickie) and Ogden Susan Merenbach; her brothers, Leif Petersen (Dana), Lloyd Petersen (Helen) and Thomas Petersen (Jennifer); her sisters Tina Perkins (Rick) Thea Townsendj and her many nephews and nieces, Brett Townsend, Britta Petersen, Cole Petersen, Addison, Andrew and Samantha Hunter, Louisa Petersen Breakey (Matson), and Kirstie Petersen Miller (Robert). In celebration of Lynne’s life, there will be private memorial, and her ashes will join her father and mother off the coast of their home in Santa Barbara.

egarding your report “Council Cracks Down on Street People” [independent.com/streetpeople] on adding Community Service Officers downtown, we’ve apparently been asked to accept, as today’s normal, illegal and threatening behavior, abusive and vulgar comments, bodies strewn across sidewalks, gauntlets to walk through, encampments on public benches, and little or extremely tardy response from law enforcement. It’s certainly not the “at-times” or “occasional” ill-mannered people or bad behavior that has led to protracted complaints. A business or shopper in the downtown corridor can expect this environment any time of the day or night. State Street is the economic driver and source for every city program and service we hold dear. The city and businesses invest about a hundred million dollars annually in how it looks and feels, its goods and services, its employee costs, and the infrastructure upkeep. Every resident is a direct beneficiary of State Street’s successes. Yet we stand by, watch, cringe, walk the other way, and take little action as the returns that fund every city program and service erode each time an unpleasant encounter takes place. Residents give up; visitors won’t return; social media carries the message and pictures far and wide. An increased uniformed presence as a resource for businesses, locals, and visitors is a small investment to help restore a level of normalcy in the downtown corridor. Far from cracking down on street people, stepping up the authority presence on State Street helps ask everyone to behave. Its returns benefit the entire community.

Please also consider 27150.1, which states that businesses that sell motor vehicle exhaust systems or parts will only sell the ones that meet regulations and standards.

COVER STORY
OF THE POOL
UCSB WATER POLO SCORES WITH HOMETOWN TEAM by Nick Welsh
f national headlines are awash with stories of viscously obese teens unable to lumber off their couches, none of this is evident poolside at the three high schools and one university where water polo is played in Santa Barbara. There you see growing legions of leanly muscled young men and women playing with a skill and intensity that borders on frightening. In the water, it’s a battle for survival that would make Darwin wince, as players seek to drown each other in a manner that comports with rules and regulations handed down in the late 19th century by a Scotsman named William Wilson. In other words, it’s totally insane. And that may explain the sport’s surging popularity. At the collegiate level, water polo is alive and kicking at UCSB. It’s also probably scratching, pulling, and yanking on Speedos. UCSB’s team ranks in the top 10, though Division I standings tend to fluctuate with all the volatility of the stock market. With Coach Wolf Wigo at the helm — himself an Olympic legend — UCSB is now winning recruiting wars it used to lose. And, to be sure, its fans are very much in the stands. Six members of the men’s water polo team are hometown drafts: Kevin Cappon, Kenny Constantinides, Brendan McElroy, Shane Hauschild, Derek Shoemaker, and Chase Racich. One of them, Constantinides, took a particularly circuitous path to the Gaucho team. Here is his story.
y WATER WARRIORS: UCSB water polo coach Wolf Wigo did not have to look far to find players who could take a beating and keep on ticking — six of the squad came out of high schools surrounding the campus. Pictured from left are Kenny Constantinides, Derek Shoemaker, Brendan McElroy, Chase Racich, Kevin Cappon, and Shane Hauschild.
K
enny Constantinides is the guy nobody wants to meet in the deep end of the pool — or, for that matter, anywhere in the water. A ferocious defender with an awesome outside shot, Constantinides has been blessed with a radar that renders the violent chaos of water polo magically coherent. In 2006, he churned the water for Santa Barbara’s 18-and-under club that won the national Junior Olympics in Southern California. That same year, he played for the Santa Barbara High School team that won the CIF Division II water polo championships. Had Constantinides taken the obvious path, he would have been showered with scholarship offers from Division I schools, entranced by his game-changing abilities. He’d have been a star. But that would have been too obvious. And Constantinides, it turns out, had other ideas. By the time he was 17, Constantinides was determined to become a Navy SEAL, one of the most elite fighting forces in the nation. Despite protests from his parents, coaches, and friends — there were, after all, two wars going on — Constantinides proved resolute and utterly intractable. At age 18, he signed
up. Three days after turning 19, he started Hell Week, the most insanely grueling period of the most insanely grueling training camp of any in the armed services. Of the 280 enlistees to start down this excruciating road, only 33 made it. He was one. After six years — two dedicated to training and four with deployments in Iraq and Gulf States — Constantinides decided it was time to go home; to Santa Barbara. That was June 2013. Today, Constantinides is at UCSB, one of nearly 500 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars enrolled there. He’s signed up for four classes — 14 credits — a full load. This week, at age 25, he took his first midterm exam. Constantinides also works 24 hours a week as an emergency response technician in Isla Vista for the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. His ultimate dream is to work for a fire department in Santa Barbara County. To that end, he also attended — and aced — Allan Hancock’s fire academy last year. And then there’s water polo. That’s another 25 hours a week. “I’ve never not been busy,” Constantinides explained. But it’s more than that. “First, I missed the CONT’D p. 27

suffer concussions,” UCSB’s Shane Hauschild said. “One of them was punched; one took a knee in the face. It’s a dirty sport.” Wolf Wigo, the Gauchos’ coach, did not have to look far to find six players who could take a beating and keep on ticking. They all came out of high schools surrounding the UCSB campus. They include the four leading scorers on the team: >Shane Hauschild (freshman from San Marcos) has pumped in 26 goals and added 16 assists for 42 points. >Brendan McElroy (senior, Santa Barbara): 16 goals, 23 assists, 39 points. >Kevin Cappon (junior, Dos Pueblos): 20 goals, 14 assists, 34 points. >Chase Racich (junior, Dos Pueblos): 16 goals, 13 assists, 29 points, and a team-leading 15 steals.

CSB has been the nation’s No. 7–ranked team in men’s collegiate water polo for most of the 2014 season. That’s swell, except the Gauchos’ schedule includes repeated matches against the top six teams, resulting in their suffering nine losses in their last 10 games. There are five so-called power conferences in college football. In water polo, all the power is concentrated in one super conference: the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF). Nine of the current top-10 teams reside in the MPSF, Princeton (No. 9) being the lone outsider. MPSF schools have won all 45 NCAA championships, 40 of them collected by the big four of Cal, Stanford, USC, and UCLA. UC Irvine has claimed three titles; UCSB and Pepperdine have one each. That’s the caliber of competition the Gauchos face, week in and week out. They’ve managed to hold their own with a makeshift lineup that has been hit hard by injuries. If you watch the big boys play water polo, you’ll notice that it looks like a bunch of hacked-off NASCAR drivers trying to settle their differences in a pool. “We’ve had three or four guys

y SPLASH: After eight years away, Kenny Constantinides has jumped back into the pool, playing one of the most grueling sports ever. Here he’s shown (wearing number 3) in a recent game against Stanford, always a perennial powerhouse.

game,” he said. “Second, I wanted to see if I still had it. And third, I missed the game.” After an eight-year hiatus, Constantinides is back in the pool but this time among much younger players — not an easy task. But despite that handicap, Constantinides is managing to play for one of the top 10 water polo teams in the country, led by its legendary coach, three-time Olympian Wolf Wigo. Constantinides is not a starter, of course. That would be too much of a Cinderella story. As he readily admits, he has never been a fast swimmer, and he’s playing for a coach who is famously all about speed. Instead, Constantinides has been assigned the function of “a role player.” That means he’s a defensive beast who drapes himself aggressively over the opposing team’s chief scorers. It’s his function to wear them out. It’s also his function, as Coach Wigo explained, to do the same to his top offensive players. Kenny brings “a mature intensity” to the UCSB team, Wigo said, and he gets along well with the younger players. But in practice, he force-feeds them a daily dose of physical, in-your-face defense that Wigo hopes will stand them in good stead during real games. In person, Constantinides is low-key and reserved, exuding a sense of unshakable calm, leavened by flashes of shy, sly humor. It’s hard to tell whether Constantinides is more the irresistible force or the immovable object. Listening to friends and family, he might well be both.
Born to Be Wild Born in Santa Barbara, Constantinides spent his grade school years in Vandenberg Village outside of Lompoc, where his CONT’D p. 29

I could go on and on about him. After losing a tough game, we know Nick would want us to keep working hard. He’d love to be playing with us.” Wigo has made it a point of emphasis to groom outstanding area water polo players for the Gauchos. They may not have a stack of trophies, but the 1979 team showed it could be done, winning UCSB’s lone NCAA championship until the soccer team pulled it off in 2006. The Gauchos play their last home game of the MPSF season on Saturday, November 8, at noon, against 11th-ranked Pepperdine. The Waves are coached by Terry Schroeder, a Santa Barbara native who got away. Pepperdine recruited him out of San Marcos High, and he went on to become an All-American star player on three U.S. Olympic teams and the coach of the U.S. men’s team at the last two Olympics. As quiet as this year’s Halloween was around the campus, it will be very noisy at the UCSB Campus Pool when the Gauchos take on the Waves. “We get great crowds at home,” Hauschild said. “The stands will be packed with as many people as we can fit in.” — John Zant

Then there’s Kenny Constantinides, the 25-yearold freshman from Santa Barbara High, who’s helped out in 11 matches while making a transition from the navy to college life. “It’s pretty cool to have four starters from local schools,” Cappon said. “The good old 805. We’re not outsourcing for talent. It’s the waterman culture in Santa Barbara. We all grew up being active and being in the water.” Cappon and Racich were four-year teammates on some dominant prep teams at Dos Pueblos. Another former DP Charger is Derek Shoemaker, who is taking his redshirt year at UCSB this season. That threesome, along with Hauschild, figures to be the core of a contending Gaucho team in 2015. “Shoemaker has a high water-polo IQ,” Cappon said. “It’s a joy to play with him. He’s a reason I came back to Santa Barbara from USC.” Cappon played on USC’s 2011 national championship team. The Trojans have won six consecutive NCAA titles. They are responsible for three of UCSB’s defeats this season, one of them by a score of 11-9 at last month’s SoCal Tournament. UCLA, the current No. 1 team, escaped UCSB with a 10-7 victory two weeks ago. “We’re right there,” Hauschild said. “We just can’t get over the threshold.” The Gauchos were 8-2 a month into the season, including victories over top-10 teams University of the Pacific and Long Beach State at the NorCal Tournament, but then the injuries started to mount. “We lost two starters and other key players,” Wigo said. “The guys we have are playing hard.” He’s not surprised that Hauschild is off to a good start. “I expected big things from him,” Wigo said of the whip-armed freshman. “He’s going to get even better.” The coach described Cappon as “a really strong player,” McElroy as “a solid guy with a lefty presence,” and Racich as “one of the fastest guys in the pool … he wins every sprint.” Another Santa Barbara player who is sadly missing from the Gauchos is Nick Johnson, who died last March in an accidental drowning from shallow-water blackout. “It’s the first real loss a lot of us have experienced,” Cappon said. “Nick’s in the back of our minds every time we put on those Speedos.

But Lompoc was not a convenient location for aquatically obsessed boys and a seafaring father. The nonstop shuttle to waves and water took its toll. After a family vote, the Constantinides moved from the comfort of their four-bedroom home in Vandenberg Village to the confined coziness of a two-bedroom home on the upper Westside. Kenny enrolled at La Cumbre Junior High School, where everything about him immediately bugged Nick Mason, now one of his best friends. “He was tan, the front of his hair was always spiked up, and he always wore this tight choker of white puka [shell] beads,” Mason recalled.

COVER STORY
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS WATER POLO Water polo can be a fierce sport. And in Santa Barbara, an intense rivalry has developed in the pool between the Big 3 public high schools — Dos Pueblos, San Marcos, and Santa Barbara. DP has held the Channel League crown for several years, but, as was witnessed at the October 9 game between the Chargers and Royals, domination isn’t a foregone conclusion — San Marcos won 14-12. The two teams met again on October 28; this time, DP was victorious, 13-9. They entered this week tied for first place with 5-1 records and two more league games for each to play. Both will go into the CIF Southern Section Division 2 play-offs next week. The pairings will be announced on November 9. Although Santa Barbara’s Dons have proved a formidable force, this year they sit just behind their two rivals. In all, eight Santa Barbara County schools have boys and girls water polo teams, showing that the water sport is alive and well on the Central Coast. The girls’ season goes from December into February.

wearing the crown of thorns on his left calf and a Spartan helmet on his right. “That’s pretty much my yin and yang,” he explained. When it comes to talking about the SEALs, Kenny is extremely guarded. It’s not part of the code. When doing several ride-alongs with city firefighters, he asked his former coach Rich Griguoli — now a city firefighter — to keep mum about his SEAL experience. He wanted people to know him for who he was now and what he did, not what they imagined a SEAL to be. Griguoli refused to oblige. “It’s an amazing accomplishment,” he insisted. SEALs, for whatever reason, generate instant media buzz. Fox News is nonstop about its impending exclusive with the SEAL who shot Bin Laden. Kenny’s comment? “I didn’t shoot Bin Laden.” Kenny said the attack of / stirred his interest in becoming a SEAL. As for the war itself, he said, “I believe the war was just,” but … the biggest blunder, he said, was excluding anyone affiliated with Saddam Hussein’s ruling Ba’ath Party from the new government. While Kenny was discovering just how American foreign policy was taking shape on the ground, his brother Nico was having political epiphanies of his own. Nico, an accomplished filmmaker, immersed himself in the Occupy Wall Street movement, where he used his cinematic skills to give voice to the growing protest. Since then, his political views have shifted further to the left. That two brothers — who share the same birthday — could be so close and so far apart is a mystery. Nico and Kenny “get into it,” as Nico said, but there’s still affection, still respect. Kenny described their differences as “Nico’s more of an optimist; I’m more of a realist.” What that means precisely is hard to say. Kenny is guarded about his own political worldview. Should he ever run for Santa Barbara City Council — as he’s indicated an interest in — Kenny will find himself pressed harder to define himself politically. Nick Mason described Kenny as a “checklist” kind of guy. So, too, does Kenny. Had he signed up for another term with the SEALs, Kenny stood to reap a sizable financial bonus. He chose not to.“I did a lot of things I wanted to do,” he said. “A lot of boxes got checked.” He got to serve his country, see firsthand the situation in the Middle East, and be deployed alongside Iraqis. Now he’s in school studying political science with a minor in education. But the real reason Kenny didn’t sign up was simple.“Santa Barbara was the reason,” he said.“I got out because this place is my home. I want to be back here.” In the meantime, Kenny Constantinides is in the pool playing a sport that he loves. He’s not getting as much time as he’d like. “It’s harder than I expected,” he said. But it’s another box on his check-off list of things to do: another challenge — improbable bordering on the impossible — confronted and met. And no, he said, there are no regrets about taking so much time away from the sport.“Water polo is a game. It’s fun,” he said.“But there is so much more going on.”

With tomato season over, Wendy Fisher was looking for another use for her 4x4 raised garden bed. Her neighbor suggested a Fairy Garden, and with ideas from Google, Fisher and her daughter, Maya (pictured above right with friend Cailyn), created a “happy place for the neighbors to enjoy as they walk by often with their children and dogs,” she said. “I decided a fun way to get the neighbors involved would be to leave a basket in which they could leave notes to the fairies,” Fisher added. “Each day my daughter and I delight in checking the basket, and on most days there is a note from a child asking things like, ‘How old are the fairies?’ and ‘What jobs do they do?’ or an appreciative adult.” Fisher answers the questions, signing the notes “fairy,” which she then leaves for the kids to pick up along with a special little something — a jewel, sea glass, or a little shell. “Reading the notes and knowing how I’m brightening the days of those that pass by is just as fun, if not more fun, as creating the garden itself!” Fisher said.

shook my confidence: Was I experiencing any pain when I rode my bike? No, of course not. Well, maybe. Actually, my trapezius always get kind of sore. And when I ride more than 40 miles, my left kneecap starts to throb. Platt quizzed me on my health history and my riding habits and tested my core strength and flexibility. The machine itself resembles a stationary bike, but it allows for fine-tuning at every dimension so that a fitter can find the customer’s ideal position. Each body is different, and what Platt enjoys most is solving the puzzle of what works best for every cyclist. In the end, Platt does not make any drastic changes to my bike, but he notes my saddle is a bit too far forward and a tad too high. My handlebars are too low, given my less-than-impressive flexibility, and my saddle-to-handlebar reach a Bob Zaratzian couple centimeters too long. Platt, who trained at a cycling analysis center in Scottsdale, Arizona, called Cyclologic, says that $150 is easily worth the peace of mind it gives the average cyclist. After I reconfigure my bike and do a couple of rides, I feel undeniably more comfortable and efficient. Whether it is a neighborhood cruiser or a high-priced racing rig, the brick-and-mortar bike shop still provides an unmatched retail experience, where competent guidance along with ongoing service can optimize the enjoyment of one’s purchase. — Brandon Fastman
ore than 4,000 runners will take to the streets Saturday morning, November 8, in the sixth annual Select Staffing Santa Barbara Veterans Day Marathon and HalfMarathon. There are two starting points — Hollister Avenue near the Page Youth Center for the half-marathon (7:15 a.m.) and Dos Pueblos High at Alameda Avenue and Cathedral Oaks Road for the full marathon (7:30 a.m.). Both races will finish at Leadbetter Beach. Race director Rusty Snow said that 75-80 percent of the runners will come from outside the county. They will be reminded of the sacrifices of U.S. military veterans when they see the flags flying along the final stretch on Shoreline Drive, known as the Veterans Mile. The event also has an international flavor. The marathon record holders are Moninda Marube, a Kenyan native from Maine who clocked 2 hours, 22 minutes, and 29 seconds in 2011, and Finland’s Elisa Karhu, a UC Berkeley medical student who ran 2:42:45 last year. Only two men finished ahead of Karhu. Marube also won the marathon in 2010 and finished third in 2012. He is expected to try the half this year after winning the Maine Marathon a month ago. Record-setters in the half-marathon are Joshua Glaab of Colorado, 1:06:27 in 2011 and Alvina Begay of Arizona, 1:15:00 in 2012. The 26.2-mile marathon course loops around western Goleta and veers east on Cathedral Oaks. It merges with the half-marathon route on the Maria Ignacio bicycle path. The most heavily impacted roads in Santa Barbara will be Modoc, Las Positas, Cliff, and Shoreline between 8:15 and 11:30 a.m. Only the westbound and northbound lanes will be open to traffic while runners are on those roads. — John Zant See sbmarathon.com.

Cycling
I watch a red laser beam bounce back and forth across my knee as I pedal on a stationary bike tucked into the back corner of the new Bicycle Bob’s. In fact, general manager Jeremy Platt explained, the light isn’t moving at all; my knee is swinging side to side with every rotation of the pedal. He wiggles his elbows like he’s doing the chicken dance to demonstrate my wayward patella before taking off my cycling shoe, adjusting the cleat a few millimeters, and rechecking my alignment. I went to Goleta to check out the new 9,400-square-foot, state-ofthe-art iteration of Bob Zaratzian’s 32-year-old retail bike business. This new Trek superstore replaces both former Bob’s locations on Storke Road and Upper State. This new store is definitely sleek. The ceilings are high, the LED-lit displays are clean, and the décor is meticulously curated by Trek executives, with spacious sections for kids’ bikes and women’s apparel. In the “Project One” area, iPads allow people to design fully customized bicycles and punch their orders straight into the Trek bicycles factory. I asked to take a test run in the Trek Precision Fit Room; what I found was that the technological crown jewel of Santa Barbara’s first bicycle “superstore” was also the source of personal attention. (A “precision fit” costs $150.) I’ve been riding bikes long enough to feel like I’ve mastered angles and alignments that put one into an ideal position. However, Platt asked me a question that

Needless to say, in Martin’s imagination, and with the help of a little wine and an audience of admiring women, the two men find they have a lot to talk about. The play’s portrayal of Picasso’s womanizing and simulated alcohol consumption both raised concerns among high school administrators and parents in La Grande, Oregon, back in 2009, but Martin quickly came to the defense of the students’ and his own artistic freedom, saying his play about “people drinking in bars and treating women as sex objects” is similar to saying that Hamlet is “about a castle.” In any event, there’s no indication that anyone will be bothered by this delightful and intellectually stimulating show when this production goes up at San Marcos High School (4750 Hollister Ave.), Thursday-Saturday, November 13-15.

MARIANNE FAITHFULL GIVE MY LOVE TO LONDON The grande dame of pop, rock, show tunes, and blues has released her 20th studio album to celebrate her 50th anniversary as a recording artist. From her start in 1964 as the bosomy, angel-voiced ingénue for whom Mick Jagger and Keith Richards composed “As Tears Go By,” it has been a long and winding road for Marianne Faithfull. After becoming Jagger’s girlfriend during the Stones’ most fertile period (Faithfull cowrote “Sister Morphine,” and “Wild Horses” was supposedly written as a paean to her), she fell from grace and into drug addiction during the 1970s. Her eventual rehabilitation and Phoenix-like resurrection began with 1979’s acclaimed Broken English,
on which a whisky-voiced Faithfull sang songs of experience rather than innocence. She subsequently released a dozen uncompromising albums, from 1981’s Dangerous Acquaintances to 2011’s Horses and High Heels. Give My Love to London is a worthy addition to the collections of Faithfull fans. Among the highlights is the Roger Waters–penned “Sparrows Will Sing,” with its “Jabberwocky”-referencing lyrics. The title track (cowritten with Steve Earle) alludes to The Threepenny Opera: “The river’s running bloody, the tower’s tumbling down / I’m singing ‘Pirate Jenny’ while the Black Ship’s bearing down.” Nick Cave shows up for “Late Victorian Holocaust,” a song about the

But as tears — and years — have gone by, Faithfull has proved to be both an accomplished artist and a sagacious survivor. — Sean Mageean
If you’re a music collector, you already know — great albums really are about the whole package. Thanks to the ongoing vinyl resurgence, much fuss has been made of album art in the last decade. But the love affair between the music industry and the art world goes back much further — even the Grammys have been commemorating achievements in the field since 1959. This week, the folks at AIGA Santa Barbara are looking to delve a little deeper into the audio-tovisual process with an event they’re calling The Art of Music: Translating Sound to Sight. For the unacquainted, AIGA TALKS S.B. is the ’s hometown SIGHTS AND chapter of the American proSOUNDS fessional organization for design, which lays claim to more than 26,000 members nationwide. Small but mighty, it acts as a hub for area graphic artists and designers by hosting events and networking opportunities for members and nonmembers alike. For The Art of Music discussion, they’re inviting some of the music industry’s most knowledgeable players to sit down and talk album covers, gig posters, and illustrations, with the hope of opening up a dialogue about how artists convert songs into something we can see. “I’m a designer and a web developer, and if I could, I would design album covers until the day I die,” laughs AIGA S.B. communications director Keir DuBois, who is helping spearhead the event. On board for the occasion is, as DuBois puts it, “a great cross-generational mix” of talents, including former Capitol Records president Hale Milgrim, former Apple Records art director John Kosh, former CBS Records art director Andy Engel, and current Oniracom CEO Jacob Tell, who will share stories and discuss the process of designing and overseeing music-based artwork. “I still get starry-eyed thinking about what it was like to work somewhere like Capitol Records,” said DuBois, “so we like to draw a balance between inspirational stories for creative professionals and discussing the practicality aspects of the job.” AIGA Santa Barbara presents The Art of Music: Translating Sound to Sight on Thursday, November 6, at the Balboa Building ( State St.) - p.m. Live music, wine, and food are provided with admission.

WALL TO WALL: More than 200 artists have donated work to the Arts Fund for Feast Your Eyes!, which opens Friday night.
FUNK ZONE ARTS FEAST
T
ARTS FUND HOUSES 200 WORKS FOR ONE LOW PRICE
he impact of seeing this many square paintings at once, all by different artists, by Charles Donelan and hung in tight rows to cover the walls of the Arts Fund Gallery almost to the ceiling, ought to be overwhelming. Yet somehow the cumulative effect verges on hypnotic, and the sensory overload comes off as curiously soothing. What kind of magic allows this much art the freedom to breathe in such a small space? While it would be fun to report that there’s something supernatural or even just secret going on, the fact is that what makes this shapely, undulating exhibition work so well hides in plain sight. The subtle principle guiding the composition of these big grids of images is curator Nancy Gifford’s decision to group them without regard to subject or style but rather by shifts in dominant color. A wall of mostly black-and-white pictures thus gradually gives way to ones with more greens and then blues, until the purples turn red, and so on — you get the idea. It’s a subliminal rainbow.
The occasion for this really big show of small square works is Feast Your Eyes!, a night of dancing (to Soul Biscuit and DJ Zac Pike), dining (via various food trucks), and celebration (the honoree is artist and teacher Tony Askew), all of which benefit the Arts Fund. The paintings on the wall are priced very reasonably at just $300 each, and the proceeds support the Fund’s ongoing operations in the Funk Zone, which include not only the excellent programming of the gallery space, which has become not only a real hub for talented mid-career artists in the area but also a very popular teen mentorship series and lots more. Arts Fund executive director Brad Nack promises a night of everything great that’s local, with Funk Zone “wineries and breweries on hand” at this event for which “beverages are complimentary.” But the excitement among collectors will be all about the art. In a variation on what Art From Scrap used to do with their popular One Night Stand event, the investment of $300 could yield something worth a whole lot more, as many of the artists are well-known and could charge as much as 10 times that amount for a piece of this size. Unlike One Night Stand, however, Feast Your Eyes! dispenses with the anonymity and lets potential purchasers know exactly who is responsible for each of the art works. In another departure from the established formula for such benefits, all the work will stay on the walls for three weeks after Friday night’s soiree. But don’t worry, because the immediate gratification of owning one of these little masterpieces isn’t just about getting it home. There will be a party going on, and snapping up something great will give you an excuse to visit the gallery at least one more time before the next exhibit — Nack’s famous % Reindeer Art Show, which kicks off December 5.
••
Feast Your Eyes! runs 6-9 p.m. on Friday, November 7. Tickets are $45, with a special $95 VIP option that will get you in at 5 p.m. and will include free valet parking. The show continues during regular gallery hours through November 29. Visit artsfundsb.org for tickets and info.

MAKING MUSIC THAT MATTERS
I
t’s unusual for an area faculty member to earn a slot in the UCSB Arts & Lectures program, which has grown into a GETS UP CLOSE AND MUSICAL formidable depot for cosmopolitan VIPs of by Joseph Miller music, dance, and diction. But conducting professor Christopher Rountree and his edgy wild Up chamber ensemble have been rapidly making their presence felt in the fertile art world of Los Angeles. Since its founding four years ago, the L.A.-based musicians’ collective has become a significant force for new music and avant-garde approaches to programming. The ensemble formed a solid relationship early on with the Hammer Museum. Last year, opportunities opened that included gigs at REDCAT, Zipper Hall, and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. This past April, wild Up performed in the Walt Disney Concert Hall with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and special guests included John Adams, the International Contemporary Orchestra, the Calder Quartet, and Shara Worden. This summer found wild Up in Reykjavík for a concert and recording session with the all-female Icelandic choir Graduale Nobili. Los Angeles Times critic Mark Swed has sung wild Up’s praises, comparing it with Brooklyn’s ICE (International Contemporary Ensemble): “These ensembles exemplify the irrepressible urge to make music that matters and to find ways of doing it that radically upend old institutional models.” Rountree, whose conducting dance card includes the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the San Diego Symphony, and the Colorado Symphony, is excited to see wild Up’s presence extend to Santa Barbara and beyond. He spoke to The Santa Barbara Independent by phone to discuss the ensemble, new classical music, and the upcoming program at Hahn Hall called Pulp.
WILD UP
Tell us about wild Up. The question of what is the future of orchestra, and what is the future of classical music, is probably at the center of what wild Up does. I left graduate school in 2009 — I went to the University of Michigan for orchestral conducting — and I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to make. Through some great luck, I found a lot of like-minded people in L.A., and we founded wild Up with an awareness of a system that is not working. And that’s not so negative; what we did was affirm something positive. It was more like, “How can we make orchestra more fun?” I think there is this huge groundswell of energy that’s happening in new classical music and even more in new chamber music. In wild Up, we have this strange overlap: part chamber ensemble, part chamber orchestra, part incredible avant-garde — we love noise music — part performance-art organization, and part theater troupe. So we do all these different functions. It feels like a really fruitful moment to be making the work we’re making. What’s the concept behind Pulp? We’re interested in exploring different relationships between very diverse music. Pulp means, on the one hand, pulp fiction, something that’s topical and just there. In that way, the word leads us to think of wallpaper music. Things can get really interesting when you make wallpaper music concert music. Because it’s very repetitive, it has this way of making you more aware of the details, instead of the way we normally hear wallpaper music without the details. And, on the opposite, there is a great cadence between that and the idea of pulping an orange or beating something to a pulp. That’s where we bring in John Zorn and Nick Deyoe. When you’re putting together a concert like this, it’s so much different from the way you want to put together a classical concert. We almost don’t want to publish our programs. There’s this thing in classical music where you go to see the program, and what we really want people to experience is going to see the entire immersive event and to think of it more like a podcast. If we got close to making our shows feel like This American Life or Radiolab, we would be absolutely successful.

PLAYBACK
CELEBRATES FIVE YEARS OF STUDIO TIME
hen Tucker Bodine first opened Playback Recording Studio back in 2009, he had his fair share of naysayers. At the time, home-recording software like Pro Tools and GarageBand was fast on the rise. All of a sudden, the term “DIY” wasn’t a stigma so much as a simple — and user-friendly — means to an end. Then there was the competition, namely, Dom Camardella’s long-established Haley Street haunt, Santa Barbara Sound Design (otherwise known as Depeche Mode’s recording studio of choice). Add in an economic crisis and Santa Barbara’s astronomically high commercial rental rates, and, well, things didn’t look so great. But, then again, Bodine makes for one hell of an underdog.
PRESS PLAY
Ask Bodine how he landed in Santa Barbara, and he’ll tell you a tale not that different from yours or mine. An East Coast native that wears his New York pride on his sleeve, Bodine headed west at the age of 30 after his mom and brother made the leap. “I always wanted to get to the beach,” Bodine recalled when we met up inside Playback’s headquarters earlier this year. “I thought I’d end up in North Carolina or something, but when I came out to California it was like, ‘Yes, this is it.’” After cutting his teeth in N.Y.C as both an assistant engineer at Sony and freelance recording and mixing engineer, Bodine, like many, started to feel the weight of a lifetime of inner-city living. “Most of the people I knew went to L.A. and Nashville. That was where the creative scene was,” he said. “It was sort of an exodus from New York; a lot of people dipped [out] after /.” Drawn to Santa Barbara’s laid-back lifestyle, as well as its proximity to the hustle and bustle of L.A., Bodine started scoping real estate and quickly realized that S.B. might be the ideal place to build his dream studio. “I wanted to build a vibey boutique spot. That was my goal,” he said. “It’s the perfect satellite for Los Angeles,” adds Playback’s operations manager, Ryan Wolfe. “A lot of artists, that’s all they do is L.A., so to come up here and get away and get a hotel and record for three or four days — the productivity and the creativity that comes from it is much different. It’s very accessible, but it’s a getaway. And it doesn’t have that paparazzi culture. People can walk right in or out of this place, and there isn’t someone camped out. Part of the success is keeping it off the radar.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONGS: Playback Recording Studio’s operations manager, Ryan Wolfe (left), is pictured with owner/head engineer Tucker Bodine. This year, the boutique studio space on Gutierrez Street celebrates five years of business, thanks in large part to the young Santa Barbara musicians that Bodine is recording and mentoring.
Apparently Bodine’s vision wasn’t too far from the truth. Just three months after opening Playback’s doors, he snagged his first real high-profile client. Still, it’s not just affordability that keeps young musicians Her name was Katy Perry, a former Santa Bar- streaming through Playback’s doors — it’s an attention to detail bara girl and soon-to-be international superstar.

WAR VETS FIND PEACE IN FARMING
FARM SALVATION: U.S. Army veteran Matt McCue (left) started the Shooting Star CSA in Northern California when he returned from Iraq, and marine vet Phil Northcutt found solace in raising goats and other animals upon his homecoming.
S
oldiers returning from the United States’ vio- DOCUMENTARIAN DISCUSSES lent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan often face a litany of similar problems, from by Matt Kettmann a fear of crowded places and other battlefield anxieties to a dearth of post-military career options and a lost sense of their patriotic mission. Meanwhile, the American family farm is a dying breed, with millions of farmers reaching retirement age and a new generation unwilling to hop on the tractor. Yet out of these two potentially catastrophic conundrums is emerging a seemingly silver-bullet solution for both: From California to Connecticut, combat vets are turning their swords into ploughshares by taking up agriculture as a career. And this process of, as one such farmer-vet put it, becoming “creators rather than destroyers” is proving amazingly rewarding in myriad ways for their collective heart, mind, and soul. This is the basis of the documentary film Ground Operations, which Santa Barbarans can see for the first time this Sunday when director and longtime Ojai resident Dulaine Ellis comes to town to screen her film and lead a panel discussion. Since the film’s release in 2013, Ellis has taken Ground Operations across the country for screening events, as well as launched a grassroots resource hub at groundoperations.net. Her hope is to expand that mission from Camarillo to Santa Cruz with additional events this month. “This is huge; it’s just springing up everywhere,” said Ellis, who’s surprised at how few vets have any farming background before diving into the dirt. “But the film is not enough. If you want to impact social change, you have to engage the audience, so we’re giving the call to action. We connect the dots within the community around their food system, and the roll that veterans can play in strengthening that food system, and how to welcome them with open arms.” After moving to Ojai in the 1980s, Ellis started wondering what would become of the farms that ripple across the Oxnard plain as she commuted to her script supervisor job in Hollywood. She blossomed into a sustainable agriculture activist, made three short documentaries on that topic, and wound up at an organic farming conference in Monterey, where she met Michael O’Gorman, head of the national Farmer-Veteran Coalition (farmvetco.org). “I just immediately knew this was such an amazing concept because it spoke to so many different challenges,” said Ellis.“It felt like all the work I had done in agriculture and filmmaking brought me to this point because this story dealt with it all.” So far, Ground Operations is making headway in Midwestern farm towns and the Mid-Atlantic states, and Ellis would like to see her film shown on the plane back from the war zones, or at least as part of the military’s Transition Assistance Program or TAP. “There [are] all kinds of jobs in food,” said Ellis, mentioning everything from warehouse jobs to distribution networks.“If you’re in equipment repair, fixing tanks and Humvees, there are not a lot of guys here who can fix tractors and backhoes.” Ellis laments not sparking much progress on this front in the tri counties, though she recognizes that the cost of land may be a barrier to entry. So she advocates for urban farms, including converting church lawns into commercially productive gardens or for existing farmers and ranchers to lease small plots of land to interested vets. “The United Nations keeps saying that small farms are the way we feed 80 percent of the world and the way we need to continue to do it, but we need to strengthen those farms,” she said. “It’s not gonna be the GMOs and industrial ag. They have a part to play, and they’ll be around for quite some time. But we need a lot more balance in our food systems, and these veterans are amazing.”

DARKER DARKO Nightcrawler. Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, and Bill Paxton star in a film written and directed by Dan Gilroy.
M the side of the freeway and meets a “nightcrawler” — a cameraman who tracks crime via a police scanner and sells footage to the morning news. Bloom strikes up a relationship with the lowest-rank news station in L.A. and their graveyard shift producer, Nina Romina (Rene Russo), who only wants footage of “suburban crime” with “white victims.” As Bloom climbs up the news ladder, he simultaneously descends into darkness until he is both documenting horrendous crimes and committing them himself. Nightcrawler is a contemporary film that takes place in the modern era, but it has all the intelligence, grit, and tightly wound tension of a psychological thriller like The Conversation or Taxi Driver. Every element is sharp, taut, and unapologetically grotesque. The film, appropriately enough, recalls the kind of highway accidents that its characters capture: You slow down your car to rubberneck, you can’t look away, and the images burn themselves into your mind and haunt you miles and miles down the road. ■

ake Gyllenhaal made his name in the American cinema when, at age 19, he starred in Donnie Darko, playing the 2001 cult classic’s eponymous, psychologically troubled teenager. A dozen and a half roles later, he returns to his dark and twisty roots with his portrayal of Louis Bloom in this fall’s much-hyped crime thriller Nightcrawler. Over the course of his 20-plus-year career, Gyllenhaal has taken on a host of roles, but if the captivating Nightcrawler proves nothing else, it proves this: Gyllenhaal shines his brightest when he’s channeling the unstable and morally depraved. There’s no actor in Hollywood today who can pull off creepy quite like Jake. Nightcrawler follows Louis Bloom, an intensely ambitious and manipulative man living right above the Los Angeles poverty line — thanks to his knack for petty theft. Bloom is a character that is tough to armchair diagnose (though “sociopath” seems like a term that would figure prominently in any professional evaluation). His story shifts into high gear when he stumbles upon a wreck on

The following films are playing in Santa Barbara FRIDAY, NOVEMBER , THROUGH THURSDAY, NOVEMBER . Descriptions followed by initials — DJP (D.J. Palladino) — have been taken from our critics’ reviews, which can be read in full at independent.com. The symbol ✯ indicates the film is recommended.
FIRST LOOKS
Indiana and the two women who helped rear him into a legend. Wed., Nov. , and :pm, Plaza de Oro

PREMIERES Big Hero 6 (108 mins.; PG: action, peril, some rude humor, thematic elements)
A large inflatable robot named Baymax befriends a prodigy named Hiro. Together they assemble a group of friends to form a tech-savvy hero brigade. Camino Real (D and D)/ Fiesta (D and D)
Dumb and Dumber To (110 mins.; PG-13: crude and sexual humor, partial nudity, language, some drug references) Twenty years after their first adventure, Harry (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd (Jim Carey) go in search of one of their long lost kids in the hopes of getting a new kidney. Fairview/Fiesta (Opens Thu., Nov. ) Interstellar (169 mins.; PG-13: some intense perilous action, brief strong language)
A group of explorers use a newly discovered wormhole to travel farther than human space travel ever once thought possible. Christopher Nolan directs, and Matthew McConaughey stars. Arlington/Camino Real/Metro
Lucy (90 mins.; R: strong violence, disturbing images, sexuality)
Scarlett Johansson stars as a woman who turns on her captors to become a highly evolved killing machine. Luc Besson’s first head film does more than Timothy Leary ever could to make massive drug ingestion seem like a good life plan — and the visuals could hardly have been more spectacular.

A man and a woman engaged in an adulterous affair that lands him in the middle of a murder investigation. This film is mysteriously beautiful and enigmatically complex, right up to the point where the payload drops. (DJP) Riviera The Book of Life (95 mins.; PG: mild action, rude humor, some thematic elements, brief scary images)
A young man takes off on an adventure that spans three fantastic worlds and forces him to face his greatest fears. The Book of Life is a nice display case for the
breathtaking art of Jorge Gutierrez, who also directed. The problem is that the story stalls out into preachy conversations. (DJP) Fairview (D)/Paseo Nuevo (D) Fury (135 mins.; R: strong sequences of war violence, some grisly images, language throughout) A battle-hardened U.S. Army sergeant leads a small crew on a mission behind enemy lines at the close of World War II. Fury is not a great film, but it has a great nucleus. What’s missing is any resolution to either embrace the horror or make a final stand for war as an unjustifiable evil. (DJP) Camino Real/Metro
✯ Gone Girl

When Nick’s wife goes missing and the media starts to swarm, he quickly becomes a suspect in her disappearance. Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike star.

The Judge (141 mins.; R: language, including some sexual references) A big-city lawyer (Robert Downey Jr.) returns to the small town that he grew up in and where his father, the town judge, is suspected of murder. What this movie needs is some literary equivalent of the rule of law; what we get is emotional gunk worthy only of unequivocal objections. (DJP) Plaza de Oro Ouija (90 mins.; PG-13: disturbing violent content, frightening horror images, thematic material) A group of friends accidentally awaken the dark powers of an ancient spirit through a Ouija board. Fiesta St. Vincent (103 mins.; PG-13: mature thematic material including sexual content, alcohol and tobacco use, language) A young boy finds an unlikely friend in the grumpy, foul-mouthed war vet who lives next door. Bill Murray stars. Paseo Nuevo november 6, 2014

He was prodigious, too, producing over 350 works. One of the secrets to his high level of energy seems to have been his relationship with coffee. It was an indispensable part of his diet. He was fastidious in its preparation, counting out exactly 60 coffee beans for each cup. I recommend that you summon a similar attention to detail in the coming days. It will be an excellent time to marshal your creative energy and cultivate your lust for life. You will get the best results if you are precise and consistent and focused in your approach.
waning, too. Instead, many of us tend to emit and absorb short bursts of information at frequent intervals. But I invite you to rebel against this trend in the coming weeks. Judging from the astrological omens, I believe you would stir up some quietly revolutionary developments by slowing down and deepening the way you communicate with those you care about. You may be amazed by how much richer your experience of intimacy will become.
LEO
(Apr. 20 - May 20): The technical scientific term for what happens when you get a headache from eating too much ice cream too fast is sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia. I urge you to be on guard against such an occurrence in the coming week. You should also watch out for other phenomena that fit the description of being too-muchand-too-fast-of-a-good-thing. On the other hand, you shouldn’t worry at all about slowly getting just the right amount of a good thing. If you enjoy your pleasures with grace and moderation, you’ll be fine.
(July 23 - Aug. 22): By the time we have become young adults, most of us don’t remember much about our lives from before the age of 5. As we grow into middle age, more and more childhood memories drop away. Vague impressions and hazy feelings may remain. A few special moments keep burning brightly. But the early events that shaped us are mostly gone. Having said that, I want to alert you to the fact that you are in a phase when you could recover whole swaths of lost memories, both from your formative years and later. Take advantage of this rare window of opportunity to reconnect with your past.
(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Near the end of the 19th century, an American named Annie Londonderry became the first woman to ride a bicycle around the world. It was a brave and brazen act for an era when women still couldn’t vote and paved roads were rare. Her 15-month journey took her through countries that would be risky for a single woman on a bike to travel through today, like Egypt and Yemen. What made her adventure even more remarkable was that she didn’t know how to ride a bike until two days before she departed. I’d love to see you plan a daring exploit like that, Scorpio — even if you do not yet have a certain skill you will need to succeed.
GEMINI
VIRGO
SAGITTARIUS
(May 21 - June 20): “Pregreening” is a term for what impatient drivers do as they are waiting at a red light. They partly take their foot off the brake, allowing their car to creep forward, in the hope of establishing some momentum before the light changes to green. I advise you to avoid this type of behavior in the coming week, Gemini — both the literal and the metaphorical variety. Pregreening might make sense by, say, November 15 or 16. But for now, relax and abide.
(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): Photographer Joel Leindecker can kick himself in the head 127 times in one minute. Guinness World Records affirms that his achievement is unmatched. I’m begging you not to try to top his mark any time soon. In fact, I’m pleading with you not to commit any act of mayhem, chaos, or unkindness against yourself — even if it it’s done for entertainment purposes. In my view, it’s crucial for you to concentrate on caressing yourself, treating yourself nicely, and caring for yourself with ingenious tenderness in the coming weeks.
(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): P. G. Wodehouse wrote more than 90 books, as well as numerous plays, musical comedies, and film scripts. When he died at age 93, he was working on another novel. He did not suffer from writer’s block. And yet his process was far from effortless. He rarely churned out perfection on his first attempt. “I have never written a novel,” he testified, “without doing 40,000 words or more and finding they were all wrong and going back and starting again.” The way I see your immediate future, Sagittarius, is that you will be creating your own version of those 40,000 wrong words. And that’s okay. It’s not a problem. You can’t get to the really good stuff without slogging through this practice run.
(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): Shape-shifting is a common theme in fairy tales, says cultural historian Marina Warner in her book From the Beast to the Blonde. “A rusty lamp turns into an all-powerful talisman,” for example. “A humble pestle and mortar become the winged vehicle of the fairy enchantress,” or a slovenly beggar wearing a dirty donkeyskin transforms into a radiant princess. I foresee metaphorically similar events happening in your life sometime soon, Aries. Maybe they are already underway. Don’t underestimate the magic that is possible.
TAURUS
CANCER (June 21 - July 22): German composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was one of the greats. His influence on the evolution of Western music has been titanic, and many of his best compositions are still played today.

THE INDEPENDENT
LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): The writing of letters is becoming a lost art. Few people have a long enough attention span to sit down and compose a relaxed, thoughtful report on what they have been doing and thinking. Meanwhile, the number of vigorous, far-reaching conversations is
SCORPIO
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): It’s a favorable time for you to meditate intensely on the subject of friendship. I urge you to
take inventory of all the relevant issues. Here are a few questions to ask yourself. How good of a friend are you to the people you want to have as your friends? What capacities do you cultivate in your effort to build and maintain vigorous alliances? Do you have a clear sense of what qualities you seek in your cohorts and colleagues? Are you discerning in the way you choose your compatriots, or do you sometimes end up in associations with people you don’t truly enjoy and don’t have much in common with? If you discover any laziness or ignorance in your approach to the art of friendship, make the necessary fixes.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Before the invention of the printing press, books in Europe were handmade. Medieval monks spent long hours copying these texts, often adding illustrations in the margins. There’s an odd scene that persistently appears in these illuminated manuscripts: knights fighting snails. Scholars don’t agree on why this theme is so popular or what it means. One theory is that the snail symbolizes the “slow-moving tedium of daily life,” which can be destructive to our hopes and dreams — similar to the way that literal snails may devour garden plants. In accordance with the cosmic omens, I am bestowing a knighthood on you, Aquarius, so you will be inspired to rise up and defeat your own metaphorical version of the snail.
PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): To be in righteous alignment with cosmic forces, keep the Halloween spirit alive for another week. You have a license to play with your image and experiment with your identity. Interesting changes will unfold as you expand your notion of who you are and rebel cheerfully against your own status quo. To get started, try this exercise. Imagine that your gangsta name is Butt-Jugglin Smuggla. Your pirate name is Scallywagger Hornslasher. Your sex-worker name is Saucy Loaf. Your Mexican wrestler name is Ojo Último (Ultimate Eye). Your rock-star-from-the-future name is Cashmere Hammer. Or make up your own variations.

Beer of the Week Firestone-Walker XVIII Anniversary Ale In what’s arguably the coolest brewery‑meets‑winery occurrence happening on the West Coast, Firestone’s Matt Bryndilson again invited 14 esteemed winemakers to develop a special brew as their annual Anniversary Ale release, now a tradition nine years old (though the brewery is going on 18 years). The winning mix, prepared by Russell From and Philip Muzzy of Herman Story Wines, features mostly beers aged in used whiskey, bourbon, and brandy barrels, specifically 38% Parabola (a Russian imperial oatmeal stout), 16% Helldorado (a blond barleywine with buckwheat honey), 16% Bravo (an imperial brown ale), 14% Stickee Monkee (a quadrupel with Belgian candi and Mexican turbinado sugar), 5% Velvet Merkin (oatmeal stout), 4% Hydra Cuvee (a dark ale brewed with Flying Dog), 3% Wookey Jack (a black rye IPA), 2% Ol’ Leghorn (blonde barleywine brewed with 3 Floyds), and 2% Double Jack (a double IPA). The result is a complex, dark, and brooding mouthful of 13% ale, full of chocolate, raisins, and delicious barrel influence. See firestonebeer.com.

Carrillo St. (formerly Carrows) • Unknown, E. Cabrillo Blvd. (inside Santa Barbara Inn) • Zizzo’s Coffee, Hollister Ave., Goleta (Hollister Village Plaza) THE INK IS DRY: It started with a rumor in this column in August 2013. I posted a follow-up story last September indicating that the rumor is true and that negotiations were in the final stages. I can now confirm that Lure Fish House has signed a lease for a space in La Cumbre Plaza, South Hope Avenue, to take over the space previously occupied by Ruth’s Chris Steak House, immediately next to Macy’s. Lure Fish House will open in 2015 and take over two-thirds of Ruth’s Chris instead of the entire location. Lure Fish House has locations in Ventura, Camarillo, and Westlake. ZIZZO’S OPENING SECOND LOCATION: Zizzo’s
Coffee at Storke Road has signed a lease to be a tenant in the upcoming Hollister Village Plaza currently under development across from Camino Real Marketplace. The other two confirmed tenants are Smart & Final Extra! and Supercuts. Zizzo’s new space will be 1,450 square feet and will emphasize beer and wine in addition to coffee. The smaller Storke Road location currently has an application to begin serving beer and wine.

CAPTAIN FATTY’S OPENS: Reader Alan says that
Captain Fatty’s Craft Brewery has opened at Calle Real, Unit D, in Goleta. RUMOR ISLAND: This just in from reader Papa John: “A friend of mine just came back from a real estate conference and said that she heard that Islands Restaurant is sniffing around for retail space in Goleta.” TRIO OF CLOSINGS: Pierre Lafond Wine Bistro at State Street closed on October 31. In its place at a future date will be Caffe Primo, which has locations at Sunset Boulevard and South Flower Street in Los Angeles. I am told by Pierre Lafond that Caffe Primo hopes to open before the holidays. … Hot Spots coffee shop at State Street has closed. The building is scheduled to be demolished to make room for La Entrada de Santa Barbara. … Reader Jay let me know that University Plaza Quiznos at Hollister Avenue in Goleta closed in October. GOOD LION COCKTAILS: Readers Brendan and Jonathan tell me that Marquee Cocktail Bar at State Street has closed. A new bar called Good Lion Cocktail Bar is opening in its place. MIRÓ UPDATE: Readers Richard and Stan tell me that Miró Restaurant at Bacara Resort will be closing for remodeling and will reopen next year, possibly offering different cuisine. One unconfirmed rumor circulating suggests Japanese cuisine may be in the works. MAKING A DIFFERENCE: In honor of National
Make a Difference Day in mid-October, the Spanish Garden Inn, Inn at East Beach, and The Morgan Hotel teamed up under the Broughton Hotel umbrella to make and distribute 1,500 peanut-butter-and-jelly sack lunches for charity. They were delivered to the Santa Barbara Boys & Girls Club, Transition House, Doctors Without Walls, Casa Serena, New House III, Santa Barbara Rescue Mission, and Casa Esperanza.
