A group of masked men robbed Churchill Jewelers in broad daylight on 1/30, smashing the downtown store’s display cases and making off with handfuls of merchandise. One of the suspects carried a hammer and another was armed with a gun. Just after the 10:15 a.m. robbery, a “Be on the Lookout” was issued for a black Infiniti vehicle carrying four people and heading toward Santa Ynez Valley. Police have declined to release any details on the incident. PAU L WELLM AN F I LE PHOTO

School of Hard Knocks Few Scholarships Available for Undocumented Students

BY K E L S E Y B R U G G E R

bout 150 teens and parents packed the Santa Barbara High School cafeteria last Thursday night for the 10th annual AB  College Night. There they learned the ins and outs of the changing landscape for undocumented students. It’s been nearly 14 years since the passage of AB , which allows such students who attended a California high school for three years and either graduated or received a GED to pay in-state tuition at a public university. But it’s been only a few years since they became eligible to apply for state and college-funded grants. “[That was] the silver lining,” said Cuca Acosta, who is a key player in the AB  Coalition and works at UCSB’s admissions oﬃce. Kenia Guinto, 26, recalled never telling anyone she wasn’t a legal citizen when she was in high school in the early 2000s. She was on the dance team and active in Youth City Council. “Back then, people didn’t talk about it,” she said Thursday.“Now, it’s normal.” After a presentation about current immigration law, including President Barack Obama’s recent executive action over deferred deportations, attendees broke into individual sessions — a parents’ panel, discussions about how to tell stories in a college essay, and, perhaps most crucial, information about scholarships. The driving force behind undocumented student scholarships in Santa Barbara is the Adsum Education Foundation, an all-volunteer group founded by four friends in 2010. Since its inception, Adsum has doled out more than $250,000 to more than 100 students. This academic year, Adsum will award another $100,000. On aver10

age, recipients come from a family of ﬁve with an income of less than $30,000 a year. Three Adsum recipients were high school valedictorians. “The average GPA of our graduating high school seniors is 3.92,” which is far higher than their peers, said Adsum President Jonathan Wang. It’s estimated that there are a few thousand undocumented K- students across Santa Barbara County. Like many of the area’s scholarship organizations, Adsum operates under the umbrella of the Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara, highly regarded for granting more than $8 million to Santa Barbara’s college-bound students each year and widely reputed to be the nation’s biggest grassroots agency of its kind. On average, the foundation gives $2,870 per grant, though the amounts range considerably by award. Last year, it gave out 2,724 scholarships. But just $200,265 of $8.5 million went to 65 undocumented students last year. The reason for this relatively small amount is that the Scholarship Foundation allows its donors — more than 500 in total — to determine the criteria by which students are considered for certain scholarships. For instance, a donor may stipulate that his money must go to someone studying to be a teacher or a student who grew up in a foster home. “It’s not our role to approach each donor [and say], ‘Would you consider changing your criteria to match this [student]?’” explained Vicki Wedmore, director of student programs. The Santa Barbara Foundation and the Orfalea Foundation — also operating through the Scholarship Foundation — each oﬀer about 15 scholarships to undocumented students every year.

February 5, 2015

independent.com

The Scholarship Foundation’s Board of Directors formally discussed giving scholarships to undocumented students several years ago when the foundation first started considering taking Adsum under its wing. After a lengthy private meeting, the board decided to work with the group. Wang said Adsum’s ultimate goal is to put their students on a level playing field with their peers so they can compete for major scholarship funds. In 2006, Adsum cofounder Maritza Mejia-Wilson, who was then the first outreach manager at the Scholarship Foundation, worked actively in schools to find students suitable for scholarships. “We saw that there was a huge need that wasn’t being fulfilled,” Mejia-Wilson said, referring to the undocumented students. For now, Adsum awards, which range from $1,000-$5,000, might not put a huge dent in the $30,000 a year tab to attend a UC school, including room and board. But five years ago, that number was zero. Plus, Adsum applicants are required to apply for Cal Grants — state money accessible to undocumented students through the California Dream Act application — that provides about $12,000 for all high school seniors who come from a family of four living on $87,000 a year or less. In 2012, the deferred action program made it possible for college students to work legally while in school. “This issue gets so politicized,” Wang added. “But at the end of the day, there is humanity behind it.” ■

Tony Denunzio (pictured) pleaded guilty to felony counts for resisting arrest when chased by a Harbor Patrol sergeant, who sustained a torn bicep in the May 2014 incident. At the time, witnesses described Denunzio as being drunk and unruly. Police were called to investigate complaints that Denunzio had boarded a boat that wasn’t his. In pleading guilty, Denunzio agreed to a three-year probation sentence, three months of which would be served under house arrest.

CITY The Santa Barbara Grand Jury concluded that the transfer of city-owned tennis courts to the Elings Park Foundation in 2010 complied with the City Charter and met all legal requirements. A group of tennis enthusiasts have objected often and loudly that the deal constituted an improper gift of public lands to private business interests.

Eastside residents, replete with kamikaze curves and anorexic footpaths. The new bridge will provide far more space and separation for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as automobiles. In addition, the project will fund two blocks’ worth of new sidewalks along Salinas Street. City Hall appears poised to increase its financial support of a high-density, affordable housing project slated for the intersection of Haley and Salsipuedes streets as the city’s Finance Committee voted to commit an additional $500,000 in funds. This would bring the city’s contribution to the $30 million, 40-unit Jardin de las Rosas housing project to $3.4 million. The additional support will enable the developer — Peoples’ Self-Help Housing — to better compete for limited tax-credit funding. Architects Brian Cearnal and Don Sharpe were given awards for their contributions to the area architectural scene in a ceremony carried out in front of the City Council this week. Sharpe was singled out for having contributed 29 years of volunteer service on various design review committees. Cearnal has left his fingerprints all over Santa Barbara, having designed the new Public Market, Saks, and the Canary Hotel. Landscape architect Katie O’Reilly-Rogers was honored for her work at the refurbished El Encanto, and PSMP architects got serious love for their remodel of the New Vic Theatre.

COUNTY Bringing its ex parte disclosure policy out of the pre-Internet days, the Board of Supervisors voted to set up a special online folder to receive emails sent to supervisors regarding upcoming land-use hearings. The messages will be posted online alongside other related documents. The change wasn’t spurred by but comes ahead of major land-use hearings on Las Varas Ranch and the Miramar Hotel.

Revisiting discussions last spring, the supervisors voted to not outsource Public Health’s laboratory operations to Pacific Diagnostic Laboratories. The switch would have cut 13 jobs and saved the department more than $1 million annually. Last year, the supes asked Public Health to look at ways to reduce costs, and the department has since slashed expenses by $225,000. PAU L WE LLM A N FI LE PHOTO

New conditions imposed by the Montecito Planning Commission in its recent approval of Rick Caruso’s Miramar Hotel proposal proved too strict for the developer, who filed an appeal with the county last Wednesday. Caruso joins Richard and Dana Pachulski — whose vacation home neighbors the property — in challenging the decision, although the two parties’ complaints stem from opposite worries over the hotel’s parking plan. The decision will now rest with the Board of Supervisors, but the matter likely won’t be heard until OPPOSITE ANGLES: Miramar the spring. developer Rick Caruso and Montecito Cramping his style, Caruso alleged in the neighbors are both worried about appeal, are the commission’s stipulations parking but for different reasons. that he initially limit beach club memberships to 100 and events to 350 people. The club cap — Caruso proposed 200 memberships — “creates significant obstacles for the successful operation and financing of the project,” the appeal stated. And the event restriction, it goes on, “not only implicates basic notions of fundamental fairness, but also threatens to put the Miramar Hotel at a competitive disadvantage relative to the nearby Biltmore,” which hosts 500-person functions. The commission said it would raise the ceiling to 300 club memberships in three years if the resort’s divisive parking scheme pans out. Caruso argues it should be two years. The event limit may similarly be raised to 400 people, the commission said. Caruso’s team maintains that the 436 parking spots for 170 rooms — and for event-goers and club members — is adequate and in fact would present “a surplus” of up to 35 leftover parking spots even with a fully booked hotel and 200 assigned club memberships. The Pachulski family, however, alleged in their appeal filed a day ahead of Caruso’s, that the project is “severely underparked” and “will significantly burden the limited supply of existing public parking” for residents and beachgoers who rely on street spots. — Lyz Hoffman

Early results show that the approximately 600 volunteers for last week’s biennial homeless survey contacted 1,030 people across Santa Barbara County; of those, 766 granted interviews. Final numbers and data will be released in the coming weeks. In 2011, 1,143 homeless people were interviewed; in 2013, 1,111 were. Clinics in Liberia and Sierra Leone forced to close due to last year’s Ebola outbreak may soon reopen, thanks to recent efforts of Direct Relief. Last week, staff and volunteers prepared and shipped 100 supply kits stocked with surgical gown sets, gloves, masks, lanterns, disposal bins, and soap to help restore the shuttered facilities. cont’d page 12

BY N I C K W E L S H n the realm of physics, time travel still remains light-years away. But in the world of politics, it happened just last week in Santa Barbara when the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board traveled 24 years back in time to fix a potentially lethal glitch in the permit that agency first bestowed on the City of Santa Barbara’s desalination plant. Without this change, the city would not have been able to reactivate its long-dormant plant by the year 2017 in response to the intense drought racking California. Absent serious rainfall, city planners contend the plant will prove essential at that time to meet basic water demand. Back when the desal plant was first permitted, two key findings needed to be made for the approval to legally stick. Only one was. Glaring by its absence was the required determination that the plant’s impact on sea life had been mitigated to the maximum extent feasible and that all alternatives had been carefully considered. For some of the boardmembers, this proved procedurally awkward. For Kira Redmond, executive director of Santa Barbara Channelkeeper, it was considerably worse than that. “You can’t contrive a retroactive determination of compliance now based on information that’s 24 years old,” Redmond argued. “Desal technology has changed as has our knowledge of the harmful impacts of open ocean intakes on the marine environment.” Redmond and advocates from a host of other environmental organizations have insisted that subsurface intake technology — in which pipes are buried beneath the ocean floor — are far more benign to the marine environment. City Hall, she said, needed to seriously commit to studying such an approach. The regional water board, she added, needed to insist. To do otherwise, she threatened, “begs a legal challenge.” Redmond’s was just one of several barely sheathed legal threats at play. The statewide water board — as opposed to the regional board — recently drafted language for a sweeping new policy to deal with new and expanded desalination plants. Under the language of this plan, any plant lacking a finding about seawater intake precautions would be deemed “new.” Santa Barbara officials argued forcefully they should not be bound by this new policy, and the message was clear: City Hall would take the state board to court if need be. independent.com

To address the concerns of Redmond and other environmentalists, Santa Barbara city water czar Josh Haggmark and his boss, public works chief Rebecca Bjork, voluntarily proposed three eco-friendly palliatives. First, they offered to cover the intake pipes with tight wire screens to prevent all but the tiniest of sea creatures from getting sucked inside. In addition, the velocity of the pumps would be kept sufficiently weak so that no fish could get pinned up against the screens. Beyond that, Haggmark and Bjork offered to donate $500,000 in mitigation money to underwrite the cost of restoring the Goleta Slough. Lastly — and most importantly — they agreed to explore subsurface intake alternatives, not to mention the possibility of injecting highly treated sewage water into the city’s underground storage basins, a program known colloquially as “From Toilet to Tap.” Currently, Santa Barbara’s wastewater treatment plant flushes roughly 7 million gallons of treated water out to sea a day. Those offers, by themselves, were not enough. Some boardmembers worried the mitigation money seemed arbitrary and disassociated from any precise understanding of what impact the intake pipes actually had. And how, they asked, would restoration work in the Goleta Slough offset impacts felt off the coast of Santa Barbara? Legal Armageddon was averted only when the regional board voted 5-2 to make City Hall’s voluntary offers mandatory and include them as conditions of approval for the existing permit. For a while, it wasn’t clear that would suffice. What had been heralded beforehand as a slam-dunk rubber stamp became a bona fide nail-biter as the deliberations ground on. Boardmembers argued the alternatives study needed more teeth. If the study concluded subsurface alternatives were feasible, then City Hall should be bound to pursue them at a later date, they argued. City Hall balked at that. More importantly, the State Water Quality Control Board balked, too, dispatching one of its highest ranking legal chiefs to quell such talk. The board’s time traveling act last week probably didn’t make anyone really happy. But initial reviews indicate it might have been good enough. “In the end, we got a good result,” said Redmond. Haggmark may have lost a few hours of sleep, but in the end, City Hall was forced to do only what it had already agreed to. “It’s not like we’re hoodlums looking to destroy the ■ environment,” he said.

The Goleta City Council voted to regulate short-term vacation rentals in an effort to quell neighbors’ concerns over noise, parking, and trash. City officials had also voiced worry over the rentals not being properly taxed. Under the new rules, property owners have to get a license if they wish to rent out space for less than 30 days. They also have to provide contact info for themselves and the rent (for 24/7 nuisance complaints), pay a $1,500 permit deposit, and register with the city. The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians donated $225,000 to Goleta’s Ice in Paradise skating project slated to open in September. The multiyear grant commitment will aid in construction costs for the 46,500-square-foot facility, which will feature the tribe’s name on the arena’s scoreboard. The county’s application to keep 1,200 feet of rock wall at Goleta Beach was recently ruled complete by the state Coastal Commission. That decision marked the latest step in a yearslong debate over how best to protect the park; last March, the Board of Supervisors requested that the rocks remain. The Coastal Commission is tentatively scheduled to discuss the project at its May hearing. If commissioners approve the permit, the project would head back to the supervisors for county approval.

ENERGY Last year’s No on Measure P campaign raised nearly $6.9 million compared to the Yes side’s $426,000, according to post-election disclosure documents released this week. Almost $5.8 million of the $6.9 million came from a statewide coalition of oil producers called Californians for Energy Independence, which raised $9.7 million total in its fight against proposed drilling bans. Pointing to low gas prices, Venoco announced it is temporarily shelving the environmental impact report (EIR) for its Paredon project; last week, the Carpinteria City Council approved a

$477,398 EIR agreement between Venoco and consulting firm Marine Research Specialists. The project would create an onshore-to-offshore drilling rig for up to 22 wells.

BUSINESS Big things are in the works for Santa Barbara’s entrepreneurial community. Last Friday, StartupSB hosted Julie Lenzer Kirk, a director of innovation for the Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration, and unveiled what will become Impact Hub. The 12,000-square-foot property at 1117 State Street will be developed over the next eight months into a shared office space, specialevents site, light-manufacturing zone, retail shop, and even a café, providing an incubatorlike environment to foster and grow small businesses. The median house price on the Santa Barbara South Coast increased by a whopping 18.6 percent last year, jumping from $945,000 to $1,120,500 and topping $1 million for the first time since 2008. At the start of 2013, the median price stood at $795,000, which means sales figures skyrocketed 41 percent in just two years. Analysts expect a slower rise this year as prices toward the lower end of the market level out.

MEDIA The Santa Barbara News-Press was provided few of the records it requested relating to any and all of City Councilmember Cathy Murillo’s written communications, email exchanges, and web browsing history about the NewsPress and the Latino rights group PODER between January 2-12. City Attorney Ariel Calonne provided editor Scott Steepleton two emails Murillo received on her City Hall computer. One was a short note exhorting her to continue giving the News-Press hell over the daily paper’s use of the term “illegal” to denote immigrants in the county without legal documentation. The other was a lengthy letter from a man whose son had been killed by a hit-andrun driver who turned out to be such an immigrant. ■

From Cheerleaders to Cats, Conservatives Blanch at Democratic Doctrine

DOGS AND CATS, LIVING TOGETHER: “When you look at all of the nanny state laws being proposed in Sacramento,” said Jon Fleischman, political editor of the right-wing Breitbart California news site, “you really have to wonder how we ever have lead civilized lives up until this time.” Because 2015 is the nonelection year of the Legislature’s twoyear session, personal-attack campaigning is mostly dormant, providing a clearer view of the basic policy argument at the heart of American politics: the rights of the individual versus the power of the state. Conservatives lament that the state has thoroughly trounced the individual in that contest. To illustrate, some issues currently driving right-wingers crazy: CHEERLEADERS: A former cheerleader, Democratic Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez wants public schools to declare cheerleading an official sport. The move could have far-reaching effects on existing school athletic programs and lead to litigation over Title IX, the federal law governing gender equality. Her agenda also includes a bill to require NFL teams to treat their cheerleaders as employees with salary and benefits. SMOKING: A proposed Assembly bill would raise, from 18 to 21, the minimum age for tobacco use, while a senate measure would outlaw electronic cigarette smoking in public. “It’s funny that the politicians in Sacramento have nothing better to do with their time,” a smoking-rights group advocate told the L.A. Times. “When you are 18 you are an adult and you get to do what you want.” DOGS AND CATS: The Humane Society recently celebrated California as the nation’s number one state for its protections of wild, agricultural, and domesticated animals, a distinction that antigovernment conservatives find dubious. Deep in Brown’s budget, a Sac-

ramento Bee reporter identiﬁed $6 million worth of funding to govern the lives of what he termed “Fido and Fluﬀy,” including $150,000 from the Pet Lover’s License Plate Program.

Putting aside the delicate theological question of whether Earth is 6,000 or 4.5 billion years old, the opening of the Capitol’s new session oﬀers a case study of how the two political worldviews shape the day-to-day lives of Californians.

26th A servative lawmakers worry about unintended consequences: “Taxing new people is always difficult,” the governor told reporters. “If you tell people that their Pilates class will be taxed at 8.5 percent, they may not be as yoga-happy as they were before.” With the state flush with cash, thanks in part to voter approval of temporary tax increases in 2012, Democrats, labor, and advocates for the poor are pushing to extend the higher rates past their promised 2018 expiration; other activists want to restructure Proposition  to raise corporate property taxes and restore recession-era welfare benefit cuts; they’re also eyeing $2.5 billion Brown — with Republican support — has earmarked for public emergencies and paying down debt. In all these debates, Republicans note that California tax rates are among the nation’s highest and blame Democratic dogma for redirecting wealth through economic redistribution schemes. “Republicans must resist the siren song to grow big government even bigger,” said George Runner, a conservative Board of Equalization member. “Instead, we must offer compelling free-market alternatives that prioritize jobs, education, and public safety.” In a political paradox, Brown, with his centrist fiscal views, has become the Republicans’ favorite Democrat on many money issues.“The governor once again becomes the voice of fiscal restraint,” Senate Republican leader Bob Huff said in his response to Brown’s budget proposal, adding that,“the fight isn’t with Republicans. It’s with his own party.” ■

Scouts Dishonor

BSA Settles Before ‘Perversion Files’ Are Opened

n a move as sudden as it was surprising, the Boy Scouts of America last Thursday settled a lawsuit brought by the family of a former Santa Barbara scout who was molested by a troop volunteer in 2007. The decision came just three days into a trial that was expected to last two weeks and shortly before stacks of BSA “perversion files”— which detail decades of abuse and cover-up — were publicly aired. “We regret there have been times when the BSA’s best efforts to protect children were insufficient, and for that we extend our deepest apologies to victims and their families,” said Deron Smith, director of communications for Boy Scouts of America (BSA). The monetary details of the settlement were not disclosed. An East Coast jury recently found BSA liable for $7 million; in 2010, an Oregon jury assessed BSA $18.5 million in an abuse case. The victim’s parents were seeking actual and punitive damages against the national organization and its Los Padres Council. Their attorney, Tim Hale, argued that because of the Scouts’ long history of burying abuse cases in its so-called “perversion files” to protect its reputation, parents were unaware of the risks their children faced from potentially dangerous troop leaders. The Boy Scouts fought for years to keep the files private, but Judge Donna Geck had recently ordered them opened in the Santa Barbara case. Prior to the January 29 settlement, the jury heard how 400-pound, 29-year-old volunteer Al Stein pulled down the victim’s pants and fondled his genitals at a Christmas tree sale. Stein then stalked the boy at his school. The ordeal left the scout, 13 years old at the time, traumatized and fearful, which he detailed during emotional testimony. He was also teased and shunned by fellow troop members and their parents, who refused to believe his account, even after Stein pleaded no contest to felony child endangerment and was eventually sentenced to two years in prison when authorities found child porn on his cell phone while he was on probation. “I was afraid that he was going to do it again,” the victim testified. “It made it hard for me to trust people. I felt that anybody could do that.” The victim also described how he became reclusive and underwent therapy just so he could go from his house to his mailbox. Now 20 years old, he takes Santa Barbara City College courses online at home because it’s hard for him to feel safe on campus. Hale believes that the Boy Scouts were skeptical the victim would come across as credible and sympathetic, which is why the organization’s attorneys had “dug in their heels” and essentially “flipped us the bird.” But after his testimony, it became clear to everyone in the courtroom that the former scout had experienced real and terrible trauma, and the settlement also ensured that two BSA corporate executives coming from Irvine no longer had to testify.

THE CULPRIT: Al Stein is now living in

a Salinas motel near his probation office.

The only Scout representative to take the stand during the trial was executive David Tate. Hale accused Tate of trying to talk the victim’s mother out of contacting the authorities after the 2007 incident, then filing a complaint with Child Protective Services as retaliation when the mother contacted detectives, and of warning Stein of the impending investigation. Hale said his client is “feeling great” and “very validated” by the settlement.“People may finally believe this happened,” Hale described the victim saying, and he’s been reassured he did the right thing by speaking out. This week, there was another hearing to determine possible monetary damages against Stein himself, who is living in Salinas as a registered sex offender. That amount will be largely symbolic, as Stein is likely unable to pay, reportedly living on Supplemental Security Income in a cheap motel near his probation office. Following the settlement announcement, scout spokesperson Deron Smith issued a prepared statement that said the BSA was “pleased” to have the matter “resolved.” “The behavior included in these reports runs counter to everything for which the BSA stands,” said Smith, noting that the organization always cooperates with law enforcement and maintains “Ineligible Volunteer [IV] Files” to “keep out individuals whose actions are inconsistent with the standards of Scouting.” Hale, who has been involved in multiple sex-abuse cases against Franciscan friars since 1998, said it’s only a matter of time before the “perversion files” are permanently released from their shroud of secrecy. In just five years, he noted, he’s gotten further along in their public disclosure than he did working for 13 years on previously protected Franciscan documents. “We’ll keep fighting on,” he said. ■

Praying to the Porcelain Dog

UNBECOMING TO WHINE: This Tuesday’s City Council meeting featured a free and frank exchange of excretory fluids between

that body’s most ideologically and temperamentally polarized outliers, councilmembers Cathy Murillo on the left and Dale Francisco on the right. That they’ve been seated next to one another indicates only that Mayor Helene Schneider, who orchestrates such arrangements, enjoys a cruelly wicked sense of humor. At issue is the imminent sea change about to shake up City Hall — district elections — and how the council can best cope with the impending seismic shift in how Democracy happens to Santa Barbara. More specifically, the dispute involves the ferociously accelerated public-outreach campaign City Hall finds itself forced to initiate — and finish — by April 16. That’s when City Hall has to convince Judge Donna Geck our election results (only one Latino elected since 2000 and only five since 1973) are not “racially polarized.” To date, no government agency in California has prevailed against such charges. In other words, City Hall is doomed to lose. The key remaining question is how the boundaries will be drawn for the new districts and whether any additional voting reforms can be shoehorned into what threatens to become an outrageously expensive showdown. For eons, people have complained about the monochromatically pale hue radiating from City Hall. Always, the proposed solution has been to shift to district elections and away from

the at-large system we’ve had since 1968. By electing councilmembers from geographic districts, the thinking has been, the council will be more reflective and representative of the community’s true diversity. Candidates running for specific districts, rather than citywide, will find their campaigns cheaper to run; those willing to buck the reigning political machines can better compete. I don’t know if this is true, but it sounds good. Regardless, under state law, district elections are the only surefire legal remedy to racial polarization lawsuits, and late last year, the Frank Banales et al. v. City of Santa Barbara lawsuit was filed. Banales ran for council in 1995 and came in a close fourth out of a field of 12. But there were only three seats. Banales helped get Casa de la Raza off the ground in the ’70s. He got Zona Seca off the ground a few years later. But when Banales ran for council, he was a registered Republican. Fatal flaw. Then as now, Santa Barbara was overwhelmingly Democratic. Had Banales run for a district seat representing the Eastside, we are now told, the precinct results indicate he would have certainly won. Maybe. Maybe not. Behind Banales is Barry Cappello, former city attorney and courtroom gunslinger par excellence. The current council hates district elections for a host of reasons. Why limit yourself to one vote every four years, some ask, when you can vote for three every two? Voters, they insist, should decide. Cappello contends that’s like asking the whites in Selma, Alabama, back in 1964 to hold an election on whether

black people should be allowed to vote. Should the case somehow go to trial, City Hall hired the third largest lobby-law firm in Sacramento to take on Cappello. That’s the same crew that got paid $225,000 last year to defeat Measure P and other anti-fracking initiatives, the same ones now leading the charge against the plastic-bagban law. However the titans clash, district elections are all but inevitable. Probably, they’ll be more interesting, more bumpy, more fun, more messy, and more sensitive to neighborhood nuance. But they may not be everything they’re cracked up to be. When Santa Barbara adopted district elections for the first time in 1874, they were a key tool by which the white, Anglo Yankee ascendancy seized control from the Latinos then dominating the city’s political landscape. Because most Latino voters resided in one or two geographical districts, their representation was limited to just one or two council votes under the district scheme. The Yankees — less spatially concentrated — could then control a majority of district seats and call the shots. Fastforward: No matter how the district boundaries are drawn, district elections will secure at most one or two “safe” Latino seats. But given that Latino students now outnumber whites in the Santa Barbara school district by nearly 2-to-1, why settle for just two? Think of the broader political influence Latino voters could exert in only a few years when this cohort hits voting age. Why, indeed?

Getting back to the public outreach — required by law before boundaries for the new districts can be drawn — Councilmember Murillo argued Santa Barbarans should also be asked if they support shifting from offyear elections to even years. Voter turnout, it turns out, is dramatically higher in even-year races. Who could possibly be against that? Why not combine the two? Why not, indeed? City Attorney Ariel Calonne nixed that idea — it would make a complicated mess more complicated and messy — pointing out that Cappello never demanded it. If members of the public wanted to bring it up, Calonne said, they could. Murillo argued City Hall should be less passive and pushed for a mushy sounding resolution calling on the council to keep an “open mind” to such a change. Councilmember Francisco — chaps seriously chaffed — replied, “I hope I always have an open mind,” adding with disdain,“I don’t need a motion to take a pledge.” He then dismissed Murillo’s idea as “completely superfluous.” She shot back,“I disagree.” Going for the last word, Francisco sneered under his breath, “Of course you do.” Francisco would insist City Hall had done everything possible to get underrepresented populations to represent themselves. “We could take comfort” in low voter turnout, he said, if they indicate people are satisfied with the status quo. Murillo’s motion, by the way, passed 5-2. Like they say, it’s all over but the shouting. And it’s only just started. — Nick Welsh

Infectious and Mobile

he marketing approach by pharmaceutical companies is not unlike the one embraced by the cigarette industry: irresponsible marketing of products that can cause great harm to any society. I am referring to the blatant promotion of cold and flu medications that do not medicate but merely hide symptoms. They allow infected people to walk among the public, spreading the infection unbeknownst to those around them. I have watched commercial after commercial “bragging” how a person so sick that they can’t breathe and have severe headaches, coughs, and sneezes can take a “miracle drug,” a k a cold and flu symptom suppresser, and act as though they have no infection and are well. Why would a society that spends so much money and effort telling us to not come in contact with others when ill allow such advertising? I would like the medical society to make a statement to counteract this behavior. It is not rational in any way for an unsuspecting person to come in contact with someone with a contagious illness. I know it’s wonderful that these medications are available to help people feel better, but please consider the unnecessary danger to others. — Bernard Sandler, S.B.

Voters Have Spoken

he activists are at it again — trying to stop local oil production and forgetting that Santa Barbara County voters rejected an energy-industry shutdown initiative by a decisive margin. The voters understood that local jobs and tax dollars would be in jeopardy if the ban on locally produced oil passed. They also realized that less energy produced here meant more reliance on foreign oil produced with fewer environmental protections than in California, not to mention the environmental threat posed by tankering oil across vast oceans. The Secretary of the Interior cautioned against energy bans, saying proponents “don’t understand the science.” In his State of the Union address, President Obama cited the increase in domestic oil and gas production as a boon to the U.S. economy. California has the toughest regulations in the world governing hydraulic fracturing, which mandated a comprehensive, scientiﬁc study into the technique. The draft peer-reviewed report, by scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and the California Council on Science and Technology, looked at water quality and earthquake

risk and found “less-than-signiﬁcant” environmental concerns. Siding with science, rather than hype, shows that protecting our energy future and environment are not mutually exclusive. — Joe Armendariz, S.B.

A Thankless Task

s someone who worked on the recently successful installation of the Marine Life Protection Act for a period of nearly 10 years, I am amazed that someone who represents the Sierra Club writes to support the Chumash Marine Sanctuary but completely ignores the thousands of hours of testimony and dedicated open process that resulted in the world’s first ecosystem-based set of marine protected areas stretching from the Oregon border to the Mexican border. The Sierra Club chose to not play a significant role in the working groups, in stark contrast to such groups as Ocean Conservancy, the NRDC, Oceana, recreational anglers, commercial fishermen, the native tribes of California, and countless other stakeholders. But one would think that this world-class effort would merit mention in — Richard Rogers, their letter. Apparently not.

quarter-million of our city’s money to investigate if new directional signs are needed would only lead to more unnecessary spending. Let’s just stop at the $42,692 already spent on new street signs. Nearly all residents and visitors walk around with smartphones, tablets, or maps. They have a plan and know where they want to go and how to get there. I have never run into somebody who is stupeﬁed and confused by our street names, nor the town’s layout. The City Council needs to ﬁnd a better way to spend its budget/funds or save it for a rainy day.

Steven L. Musick

// – //

Steven L. Musick, our beloved friend and local farmer, passed on Dec. , , in Santa Barbara. Born in Ardmore, Oklahoma, on Nov. , , Steve’s family moved to Wichita, Kansas, where he was an all-city offensive guard for the Southeast High School Golden Buffalo, senior class president, and voted “most likely to succeed.” After high school, Steve moved out West, and settled in Goleta. A familiar and friendly face for many years at the downtown Santa Barbara Farmers Market, Steve sold his famous “three times washed” mixed lettuce that he raised at the MTD property, or Steel River Farm, for the nearby freeway. Each bag came with the message: “Thank you for the privilege of serving you. You are helping, One of a Kind farm survive and thrive, and maintain this heritage in a world where few traditions remain.” For  years he tilled various plots of the shrinking farmland in the fertile Goleta Valley, raising tomatoes, watermelons, garlic, peppers, figs, cut flowers, and, of course, his famous lettuce. “Goleta has the best climate and soils in the world for farming and your market is all around you”. It was in his Oklahoma blood to work the land: “Like my father and his father before, I’ve learned to farm with nature. They were organic farmers before it was popular.” And Steve, too, was a champion of urban farming and local agriculture long before it was popular, believing that we “need to exercise the democratic right to force decision-makers to recognize the incredible heritage and agricultural value of The Good Land. A poet and a songwriter, Steve played and sang with his guitar at open mikes around town. He loved to pun and joke. He would often say, while farming, that “he was outstanding in his field,” which he truly was. In , Steve was diagnosed with throat cancer, and valiantly fought the disease with courage and faith for two years. In his final moments, an old farmer friend, who knew Steve’s fighting spirit, was urging him not to give up. 20

THE INDEPENDENT

After being told the gravity of Steve’s situation, the friend shifted and said: “Steve, I want you to run free. Run free with the buffalo across the plains. Steve passed moments later. He is running free. Steve is survived by his brothers, Andrew Musick of Garden City, KS, and Michael Musick, of Lone Grove, OK, and predeceased by his parents, Margaret and Andrew Musick Jr. A celebration of his life will be held in March. He will be especially missed by his longtime friends: Jane Pomerantz and Chris Shemet.

Sandra K. Smith

// – //

Sandy passed away at her home on New Year’s Eve—too early and far too soon for the scores of friends she leaves behind. It was typical of Sandy, a big fan of order, to finish out the year. It was typical of her, too, to view her cancer as a challenge and not a battle. Optimistic and positive, she always avoided negativity. Sandy was born in Dayton, Ohio, and raised in San Francisco, where she made lifelong friends at Lowell High School, the “smart kids” school, known for its high-achieving grads. She attended UCSB, set down roots in Santa Barbara and married Forrest Smith in . Their marriage ended in . Energetic and adventurous, Sandy saw opportunity and excitement every day and everywhere. She was expert at woodworking, home repair, hairdressing, professional organizing, stained glass art, boutique ownership and real estate. She carried supplies to a birthing center in Bali, swam with dolphins in New Zealand and the Caribbean, sailed in hot air balloons and canoed in the Amazon. In the ten years Sandy was Resident Services Director at Garden Court, her effervescent enthusiasm transformed the lives of the seniors there. She started women’s history groups, writing and poetry classes, meditation groups, book clubs and crafts classes, all bracketed by joyful celebrations. No birthday or holiday passed without an open house or a garden party with music and dancing. Garden Court bake sales initiated by Sandy supported numerous local and international charities.

In  Sandy’s Garden Court seniors were honored as Local Heroes by The Independent. Sandy lived to serve and serve joyously. She sang with the Inner Light Gospel Choir, mentored children, strapped on her tool belt to help build Habitat for Humanity housing, and organized the non profit Life Chronicles’ yearly giftwrapping fundraiser at local malls. She was the best of friends, cheerful, caring and non-judgmental. Those lucky enough to have known her will always carry her imprint on our hearts. A memorial gathering will be held March  at Garden Court,  De la Vina St., from :-: PM.

In Memoriam

OPEN NOW

Gwen Phillips 1934-2014

A Champion of Educational Innovation

lost a true champion of educational innovation with the passing of Gwen Phillips. She dedicated her life to empowering, enriching, and defending public school children’s education. Although Gwen started her teaching career with the Santa Barbara School District in 1955, her passion and vision to establish an alternative public school 40 years ago was the culmination of a long career of establishing a classroom based on the principles of open education. During a sabbatical to study the alternative education movement as theorized by the likes of Herb Kohl, A.S. Neill, and John Holt, Gwen and a group of interested students, parents, teachers, and community members proposed the establishment of the Open Alternative School (OAS). Gwen’s endless hours and dedication resulted in OAS opening for enrollment in the fall of 1975. Basing the organization of the school on a democratic leadership model, Gwen taught the older class while sharing decision-making with the community of students, parents, and teachers. Hands-on project-based learning, work experience, environmental study trips, student- and parent-taught choice classes, and community projects as learning opportunities all provided an experience in education that is fondly remembered by hundreds of Santa Barbara community families. Gwen looked to the students to tell her what they wanted to learn, and she designed innovative projects around student interests. Her passions included the environmental movement, and she lovingly shared her awe and appreciation of the desert, Sierras, and Santa Barbara habitats when she accompanied her students on environmental study trips. Gwen knew how to look at nature, and she taught her students to look and listen to it, as well. Her “quiet and alone” journaling assignments provided reflection and a contemplative time for her young naturalists. When the U.S. Forest Service in Los Padres was designing a trail guide for the Aliso Canyon trail out of the Sage Hill Campground, Gwen’s class extensively studied the riparian and chaparral habitats, camped at Sage Hill for the week, and laid out each marker of historical, ecological, and cultural significance. Students became writers, artists, publicists, and stewards of this small canyon. The final product was long used by trail hikers to enrich their understanding of a treasured little creek and canyon which feeds into the Santa Ynez River. Prior to even arriving at their campsite, the students planned their own meals and tenting arrangements based on student-designed planning groups. Gwen kept them on the right track using her years of outdoor education and knowledge. With her great networking skills, Gwen arranged visits for her students with naturalists from area colleges, Forest Service personnel, Chumash elders, and Santa Barbara Botanic Garden staff. The students became experts. Empowering students to design their learning, she created a community of learners. Every opinion and skill was important. Her multiage classes created a family of learners,

including parents who taught classes and provided support philosophically and physically. One can multiply the lessons of the Aliso Canyon trail project by tens of others: Death Valley, Mt. Whitney, her beloved Alabama Hills, Owen’s Valley, Yosemite, King’s Canyon, Indian Creek, Pendola, and countless other destinations. And one can be assured that her former students have never forgotten to carry the torch of environmental stewardship. Gwen supported her fellow teachers and applauded creative freedom to design curriculum and inviting classrooms. She held herself and others to high expectations by always putting her students first while making learning exciting, innovative, challenging, and accessible to all learners. Most importantly, Gwen devoted time each school day to her student’s emotional and social growth. Based on the work of Dr. William Glasser, core group class meetings involved the students forming circles with their peers and discussing problems, issues, concerns, and appreciations. Supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, negotiating, accepting responsibility, and designing choices for future interactions became her trademark of classroom management. These skills last a lifetime, and Gwen never let a day pass without a circle time with her students. An amazing teacher, Gwen loved playing the piano and teaching singing. After retiring in 2008, she continued to teach OAS chorus. She loved her artistic endeavors of photography, ceramics, and stained glass. Hiking, camping, and spending time with family and friends were her loves. With her lab Hunter by her side (just one of many dogs in her lifetime), Gwen passed on December 21, 2014, at dawn of the winter solstice, surrounded by loved ones in her Mission Canyon home near Skofield Park. A gathering to honor and celebrate Gwen Phillips’s life and her legacy of 40 years at Open Alternative School will be held at Skofield Park on Saturday, February 21, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., with a gathering core group circle at noon. Bring a potluck dish to share. Additional loving memories can be read at, and added to, Open Alternative School on Facebook. ■

anta Barbara’s many movie houses remain expectedly packed as you read this, with the 30th edition of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) continuing to roll through Saturday evening, when the Kevin Costner film McFarland, USA headlines the Closing Night festivities. During the past 10 days, we’ve witnessed plenty of superb cinematic offerings from around the planet. Though it’s impossible to paint them all with one broad brushstroke, many of the films do share themes of dealing with tough economies — from societal to personal — and reflect on the dangerous choices that must be made to keep bills paid. It’s as if the Great Recession took about seven years to reach the big screen in a meaningful way. The stars we’ve seen, from bubbly Jennifer Aniston to thoughtful Michael Keaton, are also myriad in their personalities and careers, yet they all have

n Foxcatcher, Steve Carell portrays John du Pont, the hyper-intelligent and troubled heir to the du Pont chemical fortune. In real life, du Pont was a man of many mysteries, who latched onto the sport of wrestling and eventually provided housing and training for the U.S. Olympic team at his Pennsylvania estate. Du Pont died in jail in 2001, while serving a sentence for the murder of wrestler and coach Dave Schultz, whom he gunned down on the property in 1996. If you choose to delve a little deeper into du Pont’s story, you’ll come away with a tale that’s both tragic and sadly familiar, a portrait of what can happen when wealth and mental illness land on an ill-fated crash course. In the film, directed by Bennett Miller (Capote, Moneyball), du Pont is a perplexing force to be reckoned with. And Carell delivers the most disturbing performance of the year, flanked by costars Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum, who give humanizing life to Dave and his brother Mark, respectively. As a whole, Foxcatcher is tense, tightly wound, and stunning in its ability to unnerve.“It’s unrelenting, and it’s unapologetic,” Carell said in a recent interview with The Santa Barbara Independent.“It doesn’t make it easy for an audience.” Throughout the industry, Carell is often referred to as The Nicest Man in Hollywood. And in conversation, he’s about as humble and affable as they come. Needless to say, if acting awards were doled out based on transformation alone, Carell’s trophy case would currently runneth over. On Friday, February 6, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival honors Carell with its distinguished Outstanding Performer of the Year award. Prior to the event, I caught up with Carell to discuss Foxcatcher, Oscar nods, and what happens after the role of a lifetime. After watching the film, you almost can’t help but try to psychoanalyze this guy. How did you go about getting to the heart of what made du Pont tick? Oh, well, who knows whether you actually ever get close to getting to the heart of anything, really? You do your best. I did as much research as I could, and I talked to people that knew him and that had been coached by him and had worked for him, and I read his books, and I just tried to get a sense as best I could as to the kind of guy he was. Bennett and I talked about it, too, because there were certain aspects of his personality that you couldn’t put in a movie. It wouldn’t have worked in terms of the narrative that Bennett was creating. I think some of the incidents that were documented were so strange that people might have thought they were made up.

‘I THINK I WANT TO TAKE CHANCES AND NOT BE TOO PRECIOUS ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT THING IS.’

How did Dave’s family react to the ﬁlm? I think it’s such a personal thing that I wouldn’t want to presume how they reacted individually. They were very proud, I think. That’s the sense that I got. You can’t take a victory lap after a movie like this because no one really comes out ahead. It’s intrinsically a very, very sad story. I hope they feel that we did it justice. It’s diﬃcult because

What was your experience balancing that persona with your normal day-to-day life? Boy, it’s so hard to talk about stuﬀ like that because you run the risk of sounding incred-

But at the same time, it can’t be easy to turn that oﬀ. I can’t imagine going home and doing the whole, “Honey, how was your day?” thing. It is diﬃcult. There was a somber feeling on set. It was not lighthearted in any way: There was no joking around; there was no levity. I think everyone took it very seriously, in great part because it was a true story. Out of respect, everyone approached it with a degree of seriousness and tried to have as much grace with it as we could. [Dave’s wife] Nancy Schultz was there, and [Dave’s brother] Mark Schultz was there for a good deal of the time, and that added to the weight that we were all sensing. It was important to try to get it as right as we could and to not be cavalier about it in any way.

How did you come to the role? I got a call. My agent had seen the script and had contacted Bennett and had suggested me, but I knew nothing about it until I heard from Bennett himself. He sent me the script, and I read it, and we met and discussed it for a few hours over lunch, and that was the beginning. I was vaguely familiar with the story, but I didn’t know it very well — I didn’t know the speciﬁcs of it at all. Once we started discussing it, it grew more and more interesting, and the relationships seemed fascinating. It’s a tragedy — it’s a Greek tragedy, I think — and the way Bennett described how he saw the movie playing out got me very excited. But let’s face it: If you’re asked by someone like Bennett Miller to be in a movie, you just do it. There’s really not much of a question there. But it wasn’t something I pursued at all. It wasn’t the type of part that I was searching for necessarily. It just kind of came to me.

have a confession. I never watched Friends. This means that: (a) I am illiterate when it comes to a certain strain of cultural reference (although the song somehow managed to permeate my consciousness), and (b) as far as I’m concerned, vintage Jennifer Aniston equals the flair-eschewing, kung-fu-watching, Lumbergh-f’ing lady lead of 1999’s Office Space. Since then, she’s reliably dominated at the box office, even while enduring one of the most comprehensively documented breakups in history. And yet, she admitted during Friday’s tribute, the legacy of her tenure as Rachel and subsequent comedy work have left her forced to fight to be considered for the meaty roles she craves — like that of this year’s Cake, which she nailed. But don’t cry for her, Barbarinos: She’s clearly having fun. And she was surprisingly open, letting slip a couple off-the-cuff quips (“Where would we be Mike Albright without indie cinema? The Avengers?”), recalling surreptitiously crying at the premiere of Marley & Me (“That’s like laughing at your own jokes”), fixing moderator Pete Hammond with a deserved side eye upon his questioning about her striptease in We’re the Millers, getting weepy when she accepted her award, and declaring,“Life’s one big dramedy.” There’s no escaping the identity hangover that lingers after a decade in a role that’s achieved iconic status (and spawned a namesake haircut), but here’s hoping she’ll find more opportunities to do so. Speaking of hangovers: I arrived at the after-party to find the two chambers of the pop-up UGG lounge packed with peeps swilling cocktails, disclosing a longstanding or newfound love of Aniston, downloading intel on which films must not be missed, and blinking in shock (and a little protest) when the lights went up, and we were sent on our way.

Roger Durling and Michael Keaton

That enforced curfew was for the best, as Saturday brought part-time hometown hero Michael Keaton, in what proved a highlight not just of this year’s festival but of SBIFF history. A pumped crowd was treated to appearances from Keaton costars Andie MacDowell (Multiplicity) and Danny DeVito (Batman Returns), as well as video messages from Robert Duvall, Winona Ryder, Jeff Bridges (who was in rare — or, you know, standard — form, delivering a swivel-chair-spun selfie in which he sang,“You’re gonna winnnnnnn!”), and Birdman director Alejandro González Iñárritu, who praised Keaton’s spiritually/emotionally/physically naked performance and threatened to get him “very drunk” again.“The man has balls,” MacDowell said, referring to the scene in Birdman that had Keaton charging Times Square in his underwear, and it’s clear that, while the trappings of celebrity don’t do it for him, creative risktaking most certainly does. “What are we here for? We’re here for a millisecond, not even a millisecond! Courage is where it’s at,” Keaton said. He provided constant fireworks, going full Night Shift while Kittim Coronel, Alex Erotas, and Benjamin Goederd taking the stage to the Rolling Stones and a roaring ovation from the crowd that had him admittedly overwhelmed, and riffing, jazz-like, fueled by an energy so crackling that if the lights were turned down, I’m convinced we would have seen sparks. Moderator Leonard Maltin offered loose directions that steered us through the terrain of Keaton’s incredible 30-year career — and was treated to an honor of his own when Durling later announced that the award would henceforth be called the Maltin Modern Master Award. The wild ride ended on a tear-jerking note, when Durling revealed in an emotion-choked speech that Keaton and he developed a friendship that predated his role as SBIFF director: when Durling ran Summerland’s French Bulldog coffee shop, Keaton was a regular, and the pair bonded as brothers-infilm-geekdom. And in the full-circle moment Saturday night, Durling said, something crystallized:“I feel that all 12 years I’ve been doing this was meant for me to honor you tonight.”

STEVE CARELL CONT’D FROM P.25

Extreme Planet

You’ve reached the point in your career where people are coming to you with projects like this, where, for all intents and purposes, you don’t have to work and you can choose your roles … [Laughs.] I can be snobby about it.

Did you feel like playing du Pont was a huge leap for you? It was scary, but I wouldn’t use the term “leap.” I consider myself an actor. I figured I’m being offered this part; a director is convinced I’m the right person for this part. As an actor, I’m supposed to be able to play different kinds of parts. It’s not something that I had done, but it wasn’t completely out of my wheelhouse. I have acted before. [Laughs.] Not to sound jerky about it, because it was scary, but I don’t know if it was such a crazy extension of what I’ve done up until this point. What are you going to do if you win the Academy Award? [Laughs.] That is honestly the furthest thing from my mind, and this sounds really corny, but I am so happy that I got nominated. I really am. I didn’t expect to be, and it was such a shock and an honor. I tend to set the bar low for myself in terms of such things. [Laughs.] I think it’s always much better to be happy and content and appreciative with what’s going on in the moment, so I’m just going to enjoy this. This is pretty great. But I will probably stammer like I am right now. I can’t even imagine something like that happening.

[Laughs.] Kind of. But at this point in the game, what gets you excited about a project? I feel spoiled right now. After working on something like this, I feel like other experiences pale in comparison because Bennett is such a good director and, I think, makes really good movies. I’m proud to be in it. I won’t say it was fun, because that’s a strange experience to say was enjoyable, but it was really challenging, and it was a very worthwhile experience for me. Going forward, though? I have no idea. I think everyone hopes they can be a part of good things. I love being a part of a good ensemble. That’s something that’s always been a draw to me. I like to be around people who are in it for the team, who believe it’s the sum of the parts. That’s always where I feel the most comfortable. And to be a part of interesting stories and stories that matter to people and aﬀect people and move people in a certain way or make them laugh. But I don’t know. You’re always on the lookout for something good, and you just never know. You can read things and think, ‘Oh, that’s great,’ and then in the execution maybe it’s not, but you take your best shot, and you take chances on things. I guess that’s where I am right now; I think I want to take chances and not be too precious about what the next thing is. I’ve never taken a part or done a play or a movie or a TV show in order to impress upon anyone a sense of who I am. That’s a long way of saying it, but I’m not so concerned about what people’s perceptions are of me. I think if you take chances and take risks, you may fall on your face, but conversely the upside is much bigger. That’s exciting for me.

Ethics at the End of a Fork Monday, February 9 / 5:00 p.m. / Free UCSB Corwin Pavilion The poet-farmer Wendell Berry has said, “Eating is an agricultural act.” Eating is also an ethical act. The choices that we make as individuals — and as a society — about food have ripples that affect every aspect of our lives, from the environment to the climate, from social justice to public health. In this talk, national bestselling author and advocate, Anna Lappé, will discuss how the food system impacts so many different aspects of our lives and how recent and diverse social movements motivated by a profound ethic of food are transforming how we feed ourselves. Anna Lappé is a widely respected writer and educator, known for her work as an expert on food systems and as a sustainable food advocate. Her latest book, Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What You Can Do About It was named by Booklist and Kirkus as one of the best environmental books of the year. She is also the author of Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen, showcasing the ecological and social benefits of sustainable food, and co-author of Hope’s Edge, which chronicles social movements fighting hunger around the world. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Gourmet, Oprah Magazine, among many other publications. Named one of Time magazine’s “eco” Who’s-Who, Lappé is a founding principal of the Small Planet Institute and the Small Planet Fund. Presented by the Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics, Religion, and Public Life at UCSB.

Talking with Poett

Toni Stern

Text and photos by Caitlin Fitch

n the late 1960s and early 1970s, Santaa Ynez resident Toni Stern enjoyed a h highly productive collaboration with singer/songwriter Carole King, mostt notably “It’s Too Late” for the album Tapestry. Wet is her ﬁrst book of poetry.

Like you, I’ve written both poetry and song lyrics. I think it’s harder to write a good lyric than a good poem. Would you agree? Billions of people listen to music; few people

look to poetry for enrichment. Poetry is a completely diﬀerent kind of inquiry than songwriting. Poems, as a rule, don’t have a chorus, and that makes a huge diﬀerence in tone. Great poetry is often most interested in the mind unfolding. Great songs typically are thematic.

There is also a dodgeball section: The floor is composed of multiple mini trampolines where teams square off and hurl soft balls at one another. A staff member is on hand for refereeing. The competition is fierce — my friend Tyler and I were too intimidated to join — but watching from the sidelines was very entertaining. Though my jumping level is novice at best, consisting mostly of twirls in the air, Tyler is quite acrobatic, able to do an array of mid-air flips, tucks, and twists. Not long into our jumping HIGH-FLYING: Jenna Tatham (left) and Amy Richardson show their jumping session, however, despite our different talent at the Goleta trampoline club Cloud 10. jumping abilities, both of us were in From the outside, Cloud 10 Jump Club doesn’t appear big great need of a rest.

It was a holiday when we visited, so an abundance of sections, a U.S.A. training spring floor, a full food stand, birthday party rooms, and a lounge area. I hadn’t been on kids were there. Toddlers and young children had fun in the Cloud Kid section, where parents can sit next to their a trampoline in years, so I was eager to try out everything.

Trampoline Time

you think some of the poems are funny. I do, too. That just happens. It’s diﬃcult for me to talk about myself as if I understand who I am. I have a sense of humor and a sense of melancholy, I suppose. Notice, though, by the third verse of “It’s Too Late,” things are looking up.

While you were born and raised in the Miracle Mile area of Los Angeles, when you were 13, your family moved to the Sunset Strip. I attended Hollywood High School. My mother man-

aged a tony apartment building on the corner of Sunset and Sweetzer during the late ’50s, until the early ’80s. The Sunset Strip morphed during that time just as the culture did. It was an exciting transition. I enjoyed a tremendous amount of freedom as a child, and the Strip was my backyard. I lived with my mother at the Sunset Lanai until I was 20, when I moved to Laurel Canyon.

In “Housekeeping,” the opening poem in Wet, you write: “I have a keen interest / in the debris / that builds up / in the house, / especially / on the ﬂoor.” To what extent is that an aesthetic statement? You might say everything is a metaphor

when looked at a certain way. I noticed that dry mopping is a pleasurable experience for me and began writing about it, with no idea where, if anywhere, the poem was going. The poem taught me something about myself, speciﬁcally, the pressure I feel to create something artful. — David Starkey

“It’s Too Late” is a fairly melancholy song, and yet many of the poems in Wet are quite funny. Can you talk about your sense of humor and how it plays out in your poetry? I’m glad

a&e | ROB BREZSNY’S FREE WILL ASTROLOGY WEEK OF FEBRUARY  ARIES

CANCER

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): In 1979, Monty Python comedian John Cleese helped direct a four-night extravaganza, The Secret Policeman’s Ball. It was a beneﬁt to raise money for the human rights organization Amnesty International. The musicians known as Sting, Bono, and Peter Gabriel later testiﬁed that the show was a key factor in igniting their social activism. I see the potential of a comparable stimulus in your near future, Aries. Imminent developments could amp up your passion for a good cause that transcends your immediate self-interests.

(June 21 - July 22): In 1849, author Edgar Allen Poe died in his hometown of Baltimore. A century later, a mysterious admirer began a new tradition. Every January 19, on the anniversary of Poe’s birth, this cloaked visitor appeared at his grave in the early morning hours and left behind three roses and a bottle of cognac. I invite you, Cancerian, to initiate a comparable ritual. Can you imagine paying periodic tribute to an important influence in your own life — someone who has given you much and touched you deeply? Don’t do it for nostalgia’s sake but rather as a way to affirm that the gifts you’ve received from this evocative influence will continue to evolve within you. Keep them ever-fresh.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): In the ﬁlm Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Taurus actress Uma Thurman plays a martial artist who has exceptional skill at wielding a samurai sword. At one point, her swordmaker evaluates her reﬂexes by hurling a baseball in her direction. With a masterful swoop, she slices the ball in half before it reaches her. I suggest you seek out similar tests in the coming days, Taurus. Check up on the current status of your top skills. Are any of them rusty? Should you update them? Are they still of maximum practical use to you? Do whatever’s necessary to ensure they are as strong and sharp as ever.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): French impressionist painter Claude Monet loved to paint the rock formations near the beach at Étretrat, a village in Normandy. During the summer of 1886, he worked serially on six separate canvases, moving from one to another throughout his work day to capture the light and shadow as they changed with the weather and the position of the sun. He focused intently on one painting at a time. He didn’t have a brush in each hand and one in his mouth, simultaneously applying paint to various canvases. His speciﬁc approach to multitasking would generate good results for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. (P.S. The other kind of multitasking — where you do several diﬀerent things at the same time — will yield mostly mediocre results.) Homework: What’s the best possible mess you could stir up — a healing mess that would help liberate you? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.

Hakeem Olajuwon had a signature set of fancy moves that were collectively known as the Dream Shake. It consisted of numerous spins and fakes and moves that could be combined in various ways to outfox his opponents and score points. The coming weeks would be an excellent time for you to work on your equivalent of the Dream Shake, Libra. You’re at the peak of your ability to ﬁgure out how to coordinate and synergize your several talents.

SCORPIO

(July 23 - Aug. 22): “What happens to a dream deferred?” asked Langston Hughes in his poem “Harlem.” “Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore — And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over — like a syrupy sweet?” As your soul’s cheerleader and coach, Leo, I hope you won’t explore the answer to Hughes’s questions. If you have a dream, don’t defer it. If you have been deferring your dream, take at least one dramatic step to stop deferring it.

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): In 1837, Victoria became Queen of England following the death of her uncle, King William IV. She was 18 years old. Her first royal act was to move her bed out of the room she had long shared with her meddling, overbearing mother. I propose that you use this as one of your guiding metaphors in the immediate future. Even if your parents are saints, and even if you haven’t lived with them for years, I suspect you would benefit by upgrading your independence from their influence. Are you still a bit inhibited by the nagging of their voices in your head? Does your desire to avoid hurting them thwart you from rising to a higher level of authority and authenticity? Be a good-natured rebel.

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS

(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): Virgo author John Creasey struggled in his early efforts at getting published. For a time he had to support himself with jobs as a salesman and clerk. Before his first book was published, he had gathered 743 rejection slips. Eventually, though, he broke through and achieved monumental success. He wrote more than 550 novels, several of which were made into movies. He won two prestigious awards and sold 80 million books. I’m not promising that your own frustrations will ultimately pave the way for a prodigious triumph like his. But in the coming months, I do expect significant progress toward a gritty accomplishment. For best results, work for your own satisfaction more than for the approval of others.

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): The crookedest street in the world is a one-way, block-long span of San Francisco’s Lombard Street. It consists of eight hairpin turns down a very steep hill. The recommended top speed for a car is ﬁve miles per hour. So on the one hand, you’ve got to proceed with caution. On the other hand, the quaint, brick-paved road is lined with ﬂower beds, and creeping along its wacky route is a whimsical amusement. I suspect you will soon encounter experiences that have metaphorical resemblances to Lombard Street, Sagittarius. In fact, I urge you to seek them out.

LEO

LIBRA

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): In the baseball ﬁlm The Natural, the hero Roy Hobbs has a special bat he calls “Wonderboy.” Carved out of a tree that was split by a lightning bolt, it

seems to give Hobbs an extraordinary skill at hitting a baseball. There’s a similar theme at work in the Australian musical instrument known as the didgeridoo. It’s created from a eucalyptus tree whose inner wood has been eaten away by termites. Both Wonderboy and the didgeridoo are the results of natural forces that could be seen as adverse but that are actually useful. Is there a comparable situation in your own life, Capricorn? I’m guessing there is. If you have not yet discovered what it is, now is a good time to do so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): In 1753, Benjamin Franklin published helpful instructions on how to avoid being struck by lightning during stormy weather. Wear a lightning rod in your hat, he said, and attach it to a long, thin metal ribbon that trails behind you as you walk. In response to his article, a fashion fad erupted. Taking his advice, fancy ladies in Europe actually wore such hats. From a metaphorical perspective, it would make sense for you Aquarians to don similar headwear in the coming weeks. Bolts of inspiration will be arriving on a regular basis. To ensure you are able to integrate and use them — not just be titillated and agitated — you will have to be wellgrounded.

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): According to the Bible, Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Author David Foster Wallace added a caveat.“The truth will set you free,” he wrote, “but not until it is ﬁnished with you.” All this is apropos for the current phase of your journey, Pisces. By my estimation, you will soon discover an important truth that you have never before been ready to grasp. Once that magic transpires, however, you will have to wait a while until the truth is fully ﬁnished with you. Only then will it set you free. But it will set you free. And I suspect that you will ultimately be grateful that it took its sweet time.

Wine of the Week Curran Grenache Blanc Santa Ynez Valley 2012: There are almost 300 times more acres of chardonnay than grenache blanc planted in California, but when you drink Kris Curran’s, you start wondering about the wisdom of those numbers. Coming from the Tierra Alta Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley, her take on this white Rhône varietal is a bit of all things to all people, very floral on the nose but with a palate that’s more biting than you’d expect. The flavor is lemon over melon, almost, running to green apple. The wine’s low alcohol (13.2%) and high acidity make it extremely food friendly, not just with a dish like mussels with leeks but spicier foods like Thai or Vietnamese. Or skip the martinis and dive right into this bracingly good bottle. See d‑cwines.com. —George Yatchisin

HIGH SIERRATOGRILL HOUSE REPLACE ELEPHANT BAR M ario and Lani Medina have owned and operated Mulligans Café & Bar at  McCaw Avenue since December 1993. In mid-December, I called Mulligans and was told that the Medinas are in ﬁnal lease negotiations to take over the space at  Firestone Road in Goleta, the former longtime home of Elephant Bar & Restaurant, which closed in August 2013. Word on the street is that the new restaurant will be called High Sierra Grill House, a joint venture with coowner Manuel Perales, who already runs a High Sierra Grill House in Fresno. The business has been approved by the Airport Commission and is awaiting approval from the Santa Barbara City Council on February 10. High Sierra Grill will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including a Sunday buﬀet. Menu will include BBQ, burgers, pizza, sandwiches, salads, and more. The opening is planned for some time between August and the end of the year. Thanks to readers Gary, Carol, JM, and Anonymous.

NUANCE TO REPLACE BLUE TAVERN: Blue Tavern at

 State Street closed last December. Reader Iceman tells me he spoke with the assistant chef for the new operators of the old Blue Tavern location and was told that it will be replaced by Nuance, to be headed by a known chef. I am told they are planning to open as Nuance in about a month. LOS AGAVES SERVES BREAKFAST: Reader Elizabeth

tells me that Los Agaves at Camino Real started serving breakfast on January 31. Elizabeth says that mimosas, coffee, and Mexican hot chocolate are included with their variety of breakfast offerings. BACKYARD BOWLS GROWING: While I was ordering the Island Bowl at a Backyard Bowls location, I asked if they had any news to share. I was told that Backyard Bowls is expanding beyond the South Coast and will be opening a new location in West Hollywood later this month. Backyard Bowls opened their first location at  Motor Way in downtown Santa Barbara in November 2008 and since added outlets in La Cumbre Plaza and on Calle Real in Goleta. COSTCO REMODEL: On January 26, Costco closed

their food court and deli for remodeling. The deli is closed for ﬁve weeks and, during that time, rotisserie chicken, wings, and ribs will not be available. The deli will continue to service a limited entree menu. The food court is closed for three weeks.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800‑280‑2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.auction. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000004727300. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. FOR TRUSTEE SALE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL: AUCTION.
