happy Camper
Chloë Bee Ciccati took her dad on a camping trip among the redwoods for Father’s Day not too long ago, and they brought along their favorite reading matter. Really. Ms. Bee—like all Indy copy kids —reads at an abnormally high level for her age, modestly says her father, Ben, who’s our multitalented art director. The trip was a success: A tick found her ear, and lots of ice cream and mountain biking were involved, as were a few revelations about poison oak. What a great start to the summer.

Weird the New Normal City Hall Pulls $55 Million Trigger on Desal Plant, Sends Rental Project Back to Drawing Boards

producing 3,125 acre-feet of water a year. That’s about 25 percent of the city’s water demand in an average year. The council voted to sign a contract with IDE Technologies, an American subsidiary of an Israeli company that’s been involved in building or operating 400 plants in 40 countries that produce a combined 400 million gallons a day. The same company is building the much bigger Carlsbad desal plant. In a separate action, the council praised a seven-unit, three-story rental housing project targeting families and slated for the 1800 block of Castillo Street but concluded it was too much of a good thing and sent it to the Planning Commission for tweaking. In so doing, the council sided with the neighbors— led by former councilmember Brian Barnwell —who’d appealed the project’s approval by the Architectural Board of Review (ABR). It was one of the rare instances the council affirmed a neighborhood appeal. In this case, the developer — represented by architect Detlev Peikert—sought to avail themselves of an experimental city zoning initiative to encourage the construction of rental

The Sheriff’s Office provided extra protection for Judge Brian Hill at the courthouse and at his home in response to more than one threat made against him and his family in connection with the sentence he imposed in a recent dog-torture case. Hill sentenced Duanying Chen to one year in jail after Chen admitted to torturing a puppy to the point it had to be euthanized. Chen faced a maximum of seven years and six months in prison; Hill imposed a longer sentence than the 120 days in jail recommended by a probation report. On 7/19, dozens of animal activists gathered at the County Courthouse then marched down State Street to protest the one-year term and to push for stricter penalties against animal abusers. sb pd

by N i c k W e l s h ust two days after Santa Barbara experienced the collective cognitive dissonance inflicted by thunder, lightning, and an of inch of rain in the middle of July, the Santa Barbara City Council voted unanimously to pull the $55 million trigger to revamp and reactivate its long mothballed desalination plant. Most councilmembers acknowledged the strong possibility that the El Niño storm systems predicted for this winter could likely bring heavy rains. But given that the South Coast’s single most important source of water — Cachuma Lake — is so low that further deliveries are expected to cease this year, not one councilmember was willing to take that risk. With or without rain, declared Mayor Helene Schneider, desalinated water will have to become part of the city’s supply portfolio. “This drought will end one day,” she said.“But there will be another drought another day.” Councilmember Gregg Hart estimated that the cost of desalinated water would translate to a $10- to $20-a-month increase in the average customer’s water bill.“That’s not a lot of money in the context of the risk involved,” he said. Councilmember Bendy White, the council’s resident water wonk, noted how even in wet years, the future flow of water from Cachuma Lake will be substantially reduced as tighter environmental regulations go into effect. Without desal, he warned, the city would be forced to strip mine its groundwater reserves, running the risk of saltwater intrusion. Councilmember Randy Rowse groused, “It’s not a great choice. I’d rather not do a desal plant,” adding, “There’s a lot of things I’d like to do I just don’t get to do.” Of all the water options facing Santa Barbara, said Councilmember Dale Francisco, desal is the “only one we control.” Even Councilmember Cathy Murillo — the most torn by environmental concerns about small fish and aquatic larvae getting sucked into the intake pumps — argued the council had no choice. Santa Barbara Channelkeeper’s Kira Redmond, who has consistently banged the gong about those concerns, termed the vote “a $55 million mistake.” She pointed out how it’s rained almost every time the council confronted a major desal decision point.“I wonder if that’s Mother Nature telling us to stop,” she said. City water czar Joshua Haggmark beamed after the vote. “This drought is 20 inches drier than the last major drought,” he added.“What I wouldn’t give to have an extra 20 inches,” he said. “That’s a year’s worth of rain.” By comparison, the desal plant—if all goes according to plan—will go online next September,
Police are investigating the death of a 59-year-old homeless man as a possible suicide by train. Witnesses reported seeing him on Monday walking along the right side of the railroad tracks near the Santa Barbara Zoo and then moving to the center of the tracks as the train approached. Witnesses say the train blew its horn, but with no effect. The decedent’s belongings were recovered in a homeless camp about a quarter-mile away from where he was killed.
GOING TO DISNEYLAND: Santa Barbara water czar Joshua Haggmark was all grins after the City Council voted unanimously to approve a $55 million contract to rebuild and revamp the desal plant. “The council did all the heavy lifting,” he said. “I was just the eye candy.”
housing by rewarding builders with extrahigh densities. The extra density is achieved by allowing developers to provide only half as many parking spaces as usual. In this case, that translated to 19 bedrooms but only seven parking spaces. Barnwell argued that the garage spaces abutting the units would quickly be converted into rental space, thus exacerbating an acute shortage of on-street parking in the neighborhood. Many neighbors complained the threestory proposal was out of sync with the area. Barnwell objected the ABR never required story poles to show how tall the project would be and that the ABR never conducted a site visit. (City planners stated ABR members had either visited the site or had expressed familiarity with it.) Councilmembers took pains to praise the owners and Peikert for proposing rental housing; they lauded the design. But with the exception of Cathy Murillo, who cited Santa Barbara’s “brutal” rental market, all councilmembers agreed the project was just too big for the neighborhood and sent it to the plann ning commission to be whittled down.
This Tuesday, nine people were arrested for possession of narcotics and weapons in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties in connection with George Jolly’s 7/16 arrest here on the South Coast. Jolly (pictured) was busted with six pounds of meth and half a pound of heroin after evading a Sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop in Carpinteria. Further investigation into his reported drug dealing led to the additional arrests and seizures of 21 guns, five pounds of heroin, 23 pounds of methamphetamine, eight vehicles, and large sums of cash.

banging the 9-1-1 drum
The state’s Office of Emergency Services severed ties last week with Public Safety Network, heightening frustrations among several area officials who have been bird-dogging the issue for years. The Santa Barbara–based company developed a program to identify and track errors in the notoriously fraught 9-1-1 system. Former fire chief Warner McGrew likened the move by state officials to getting rid of a mechanic to solve a car problem. “You don’t want to hear about it because you don’t want to buy two quarts of oil [to fix the car],” he said. In the state, about 80 percent of 9-1-1 calls are made from a cell phone. About half those go straight to dispatch centers run by the California Highway Patrol (CHP), but experts say most calls should be sent to dispatch centers at police or sheriff’s offices because they are made far from the highway. Of the hundreds of dispatch centers in the state, just 24 are operated by the CHP. In Santa Barbara, it is unclear the percentage of wireless calls that are answered by a CHP dispatcher 30 miles south in Ventura and then rerouted to a closer dispatch center. In 2008, Public Safety Network launched the RED Project, a nationally recognized system that fixed about 10 percent of call sectors in the state so that 9-1-1 calls would be sent to the closest dispatch center, saving a small amount of time and minimizing mishaps. But to the dismay of a number of area public-safety officials, the roughly $8 million project’s contract was not renewed in 2011. Last year, the case of 24-year-old Jordan Soto heightened awareness to the problem after her family charged the 9-1-1 system’s flaws contributed to her death. Meanwhile, Assemblymember Das Williams has a two-year bill winding through the state legislature that would fund money to study the 9-1-1 system. Last Tuesday, Williams added amendments to the measure to restart the RED Project. The next day, the state office of emergency services requested a second project run by the Public Safety Network — costing $123,000 per month — be discontinued. “It’s absurd,” said Don Reich, vice president of the Public Safety Network. “We have been doing this for 20 years.” Supporters note it’s a small price — for a major benefit — out of the department’s total budget. It is unclear the exact reason the contract was discontinued. In an email, Kelly Huston, deputy director in the governor’s office of emergency services, said the project was not intended to be an indefinite expense and that the department is conducting a needs reassessment of the project. The matter will be discussed at a 9-1-1 advisory board meeting — Kelsey Brugger on August 13.
economic damages suffered as a result of the May 19 Refugio Oil Spill. The Dallas-based Summy was one of the lead litigators that sued BP on behalf of multiple jurisdictions impacted by the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill. The City of San Jose recently retained him to sue Monsanto over PCB contamination, and in the 1990s, Summy secured more than $400 million in settlements with various gasoline companies because of MTBE contamination. The $26 million effort to replace the Cabrillo Boulevard Bridge has reached its second stage, city officials announced this week. Work is continuing on the bridge’s mountainside, which sees 6,000 pedestrians and 23,000 vehicles daily, and builders have been using a quieter twist-and-turn method for constructing piles as opposed to the customary hammer-driven approach. Tony Romasanta, owner of the nearby Harbor View Inn, said, “[The construction] has had a negative effect on businesses; there’s no question. But I’m delighted with their progress. I’m looking forward to the transformation of that area that has been long awaited and wanted.”
COuNTY Master Gardener and 20-year nonprofit executive Carrie Mullen went from being a kid transplanting wild yarrow in her parents’ yard to graduating with an MA in government and foreign affairs to working at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D.C., to now joining the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County as its development director. She started this month.
“We immediately recognized that Carrie has a strong passion and a long-term vision for protecting and enjoying open spaces,” said Carolyn Chandler, former executive director and current trustee of the Land Trust.
EDuCATION Four hundred Dos Pueblos High School students — 20 percent of the school’s student body — are enrolled in the nationally recognized Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy (DPEA). Of those, half are female, a number “that surpasses any other educational engineering program in the country,” according to a letter from the DPEA Foundation. When the University of California purchased three Tropicana student housing properties earlier this month, the funds came from the system’s housing arm. None of the money came from state funding, according to university spokesperson George Foulsham. Housing & Residential Services generates its funds from rent and associated fees among its 14 resident halls and apartment complexes, including three in I.V. proper. Last year, it collected $98 million and employed 743 fulltime workers. “The university has a tradition of making investments in Isla Vista that we hope will be transformative and beneficial,” Foulsham added. A split vote by Santa Barbara Unified School District boardmembers earlier this month approved a $13,500 one-year contract with Interquest Detection Canines to search Dos Pueblos, La Cuesta, San Marcos, and Santa Barbara high schools cont’d page 10

NO WAY, NO HOW: La Casa director Raquel Lopez said she refused to even consider closing the community center.
back from the brink La Casa de la Raza Avoids Foreclosure
T
by k e i t h h a m m he financially embattled La Casa de la Raza successfully fended off foreclosure late last week, wiring an undisclosed sum to its lender to secure a 60-day delay of the July 20 public auction of its longtime lower Eastside community center. The news of imminent foreclosure instigated a range of emotions, from the small panics of longtime patrons to eye rolling from those familiar with La Casa’s track record of financial close calls. Indeed, La Casa’s five full-time staffers and nine-member volunteer board of directors have faced three previous potential shutdowns in as many years. Fielding concerns—and criticism—since the July 15 court ruling that cleared the way for the auction of the half-acre parcel and its 26,000-square-foot multipurpose building, Raquel Lopez, La Casa’s executive director since 2005, said that closing the doors was never an option.“We would never allow foreclosure to happen,” she said. “The legacy of this place is why we will never give up.” That legacy—soaked in the incubation of Chicano theater, diverse lineups of emerging bands, AA meetings in Spanish, and afterschool and summer programs stretching back to La Casa’s 1971 inception—provides comfort and identity for the city’s often disenfranchised Latinos, and ultimately, says Board President Marisela Marquez, helps them learn to how to stand up for themselves. It could also help to explain why the money wired to placate La Casa’s lender —Fidelity Mortgage Lenders—came from within and not from an eleventh-hour donation. But if La Casa already had the money, why didn’t it renegotiate with Fidelity instead of paying a law firm to try to halt foreclosure? “We felt that our treatment at the hands of this mortgage company was unfair,” Marques said. “That’s why we addressed it [in court].” During the next two months, a “top priority” is to find “a new loan with more favorable terms … to replace Fidelity,” said Matt Clarke, an attorney representing La Casa. Added Lopez, “It’s a crappy loan with a crappy lender; we want to be done with it.” Another complication finds La Casa going back and forth with the Santa Barbara independent.com
County Assessor’s Office over nine years’ worth of paid property taxes, calculated when La Casa was viewed as a for-profit entity because it lacked tax-exemption certification from the California State Board of Equalization. La Casa has since reestablished that certification and is now seeking close to $100,000 in reimbursement from the county. Looking ahead, boardmember Elizabeth Robinson says it’s important for La Casa to steer away from “crisis mode” and stay focused on broadening its appeal beyond the Latino community, in addition to beef beefing up its events and social media presence. On the programming front, Robinson —a KCSB veteran—is in the process of launching La Casa’s low-powered FM radio station, which will, by year’s end, broadcast community news, events, and music from Goleta to Carpinteria. Sounds great. Yet a number of La Casa supporters have become flummoxed at best, apoplectic at worst, and they’re not surprised by this latest episode of money trouble. Over the years, some public and private donors have chipped in or offered to help only to find their outreach failing to gain traction. This latest chapter briefly featured an unlikely benefactor — notorious landlord Dario Pini, who offered $40,000 to settle La Casa’s differences with Fidelity in exchange for spots on the board, one for himself and a few for prominent Latino acquaintances. Pini’s proposal was ultimately deemed moot because Casa settled with internal funds. “La Casa is a really important part of the community,” said Pini, who’s currently under the city gun to tighten up his operations. “A lot of my tenants participate in activities they offer. There are plenty of ways for La Casa to make money; it just needs the right board.” In that respect, Lopez said La Casa’s board of directors “is definitely growing in the next two months,” adding four to six new seats and replacing one or more existing boardmembers. “The board is aware that they need to make changes to the way they make money to create a more stable situation.” In the meantime, La Casa will soon be drawing from its vast pool of volunteers to set up and operate its famous torta booth in De la Guerra Plaza during Old Spanish Days Fiesta. n july 23, 2015

Her contract expired June 30. Vince Jensen, Chief Operating Officer for Sansum Clinic for the past three years, is stepping down to return to his former job with City of Hope as merger negotiations between Sansum and Cottage Hospital continue. Jensen was commuting three to five hours a day, and the grind, said clinic administrators, got to be too much. They stressed Jensen was in no way being forced out. Jensen oversaw the construction of Sansum’s new outpatient surgery center, its new call center, and its merger with the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara during his tenure. Jensen will be replaced by Sansum’s chief financial officer, Chad Hine. Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics (SBNC) on 7/17 opened its fourth location, the Goleta Neighborhood Clinic on Calle Real. The ribbon-cutting ceremony brought out a crowd of those who contributed to its creation, including Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, and Congressmember Lois Capps. SBNC operates the Eastside Clinic, the Westside Clinic, the Isla Vista Clinic, two dental clinics, and now the new Goleta Clinic, which was established by a federal grant through the Affordable Care Act. n

In the bid to replace Congressmember Lois Capps, Supervisor Salud Carbajal has raised more than $629,000, among the highest totals for Democratic challengers in open seats so far this year. Of his 520 or so donors, two dozen individuals chipped in the maximum of $5,400 for the primary and general elections, including philanthropist and Kinko’s founder Paul Orfalea, developer Ed St. George, former SBCC president John Romo, developer Neil Dipaola, and Texas home builder Randall Van Wolfswinkel. Santa Barbara Independent Publisher Joe Cole, who Carbajal recommended to the Montecito Planning Commission, wrote Carbajal a check for $1,000. About $20,000 came from political committees. At the close of the cycle, Carbajal had spent close to $62,000. Carbajal’s Democratic challenger, Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider, raised $225,000 from about 200 donors. She received money from Stacy Pulice, who is married to Ron Pulice, who Schneider appointed to the Bellosguardo Foundation’s Board of Directors. Schneider also received checks from six boardmembers, including Morris Jurkowitz, Sandra Nicholson, Dick Wolf, Anne Towbes, Robert Lieff, and Gary Tobey. Three boardmembers gave money to Carbajal, including Wolf, who is known for penning Law & Order. A total of eight people gave to both. More than $34,000 of Schneider’s money came from relatives who live in New York. In the last cycle, she spent about $25,000. Last week, Schneider announced she secured the endorsement of the National Organization for Women (NOW). Earlier this month, the Santa Barbara Women’s Political Committee did not have enough votes to put their weight behind Schneider or Carbajal. As for the Republicans, Justin Fareed came in first, raising $118,405 this cycle. To date, Fareed has raised $220,405 and spent about $30,000. Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian has raised $94,054. He also gave himself $30,000, bringing the total in his war chest to $124,054. To date, Achadjian has spent $9,303. — Kelsey Brugger

hen it comes to oil production, the county supervisors tend to disagree over the pros and cons. But perhaps since experiencing collective oil spill fatigue in the two months since the Refugio Oil Spill, they have all appeared to yearn for answers.“This is like a jigsaw puzzle,” Supervisor Doreen Farr, whose district includes Gaviota, said. “We may know some of the pieces that are missing, but we don’t know what they look like.” The condition of the entire underground pipeline — Lines 901 and 903 — operated by the now notorious Plains All American Pipeline remains in question because the section of ruptured pipeline was so severely corroded. Whether or not the corrosion is related to outside conditions, Planning and Development staffer Matt Young said, is unclear because the root-cause analysis is not complete. Young reminded the supervisors the county has no direct authority over the line; the county department can just make recommendations to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), the federal agency responsible for regulating the pipeline that transmits oil from the Las Flores Facility to a refinery in Santa Maria or Nipomo. Young added the federal and state agency has been respectful of the county’s input. Also unclear were the results of recent sampling of tar balls collected on the shoreline just two weeks ago. Of 44 samples collected from the Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR), just one sample matched oil leaked from the spill. “Where is it coming from if it’s not from Line 901?” asked Supervisor Steve Lavagnino. If it is not from natural seeps, Lavagino went on, “we have a bigger problem we don’t know about.” Dianne Black, Planning and Development assistant director, said this round of “fingerprint analysis” did not compare samples collected to natural seepage. The Coast Guard and Plains All American Pipeline also conducted samples, Black said, but they have not seen those results. Last month, Plains released some results from previous tests that showed oil from Line 901 traveled as far south as Manhattan Beach. But the good news in the realm of oil, county staff told the county supervisors in a

separate hearing, is that the total oil spilled has trended down in the past few years. The amount of petroleum leaked decreased from 896 barrels in 2011 to 63 barrels in 2014. The Refugio Oil Spill, according to Plains All American Pipeline, released an estimated 2,400 barrels of crude oil; about 500 barrels is believed to have washed into the sea. Environmentalists charged that figure is questionable because it came from Plains —not a third party. The number of violations county staff issues to operators decreased from 88 in 2010 to 11 in 2014. Oil companies that do not comply with requirements levied by the county receive fines. In the last five years, just three fines were imposed on producers—two against Greka Oil & Gas, Inc. in 2010 and one against Kore Emergency LLC in 2012. Several years ago, Greka Oil & Gas came under fire after its operations had 21 separate spills in a five-year period. In 2008, the county supervisors tightened restrictions for repeat spill offenders; a company that had two separate spills of more than 15 barrels each outside of containment at two separate facilities in a year were slapped with the label “high risk operators.” Currently, 23 producers operate more than 2,450 active wells and 125 onshore oil and gas facilities. Most are scattered through North County. Supervisor Lavagnino, who represents the 5th district, noted the oil industry “stepped up” after the county strengthened the ordinance. “You’d think the more inspections, more violations,” he noted, but that has not been the case. Linda Krop, chief counsel for the Environmental Defense Center, lauded the county for protecting the community, pointing to the denial of ExxonMobil’s emergency permit to truck oil 70 miles on Highway 101. She also called for the county to assert authority and make sure its mitigation measures at Gaviota beaches are appropriate. Last week, the Refugio beaches were reopened; 186 personnel are still involved in the cleanup effort, according to a Unified n Command spokesperson.

Pioneering Progressive Couple Pens a Memoir of Marriage and Social Justice
I
by J e r r y r o b e r t s
n 1948, in the Bronx, 8-year-old Mickey Hartman delivered leaflets door-to-door in the co-op apartment complex built by the communist party where she lived with her trade union family. In Brooklyn, meanwhile, the FBI opened a file on 10-year-old Dick Flacks because his teacher parents helped lead labor and civil-rights campaigns in the public schools. Neither kid knew it at the time, but those childhood experiences marked the start of a remarkable, lifelong partnership. These “Red Diaper Babies” soon met as counselors at a progressive summer camp, fell in love, and eloped in 1959. Over the next 56 years, their enduring marriage was shaped and sustained by nonviolent struggles for social justice, as together they opposed McCarthyism, nuclear proliferation, the Vietnam War, and the tyranny of the FBI, while fighting for peace, civil rights, gender equality, and grassroots community power in their adopted hometown. Now in their seventies, Dick and Mickey Flacks are hunkered down in their comfortable Eastside home, in the final stages of crafting a dual memoir of intrepid, frontline lives on the left. Parents of two long-grown children (“While people were making revolution, I was making babies,” she recalls of the late ’60s), they’ve shared a personal and political odyssey, carrying them from New York to the Midwest and Santa Barbara, and social crusades ranging from the 1962 founding of SDS to the 2002 creation of SBCAN. “We come from left-wing families that go back more than a hundred years,” said Dick, UCSB emeritus professor of sociology, who’s researched and written previous volumes on left-wing activism. “Rather than figuring it all out together, we decided we would each write separately.” “The theme is the interplay between politics and the personal,” said Mickey, a retired university biology researcher, a leader of the secular Jewish community, and a prominent Democratic activist. “We’re writing [recollections] side-by-side … There’s some Rashomon to it.”
ONE DAY IN MAY: On Monday, May 5, 1969, an unusually warm spring day, University of Chicago Professor Dick Flacks welcomed into his office a man identifying himself as a reporter for the St. Louis Globe. He’d asked to interview Flacks about the social and political upheavals unsettling the city and the nation.
Flacks took a quick call as the purported reporter set an old-style tape recorder on the desk. Hanging up, Dick later remembered, he saw the bulky recorder fall to the floor and bent over to help retrieve it. Then he was battered. The next thing he recalls, emergency room doctors were scrambling to treat him for a severe beating, with what appeared to have been an axe, leaving his skull smashed and his right hand nearly severed. “Somebody tried to kill me,” he calmly remembers today.“Clearly there was some political motive.” Mickey was working at the biology lab, kids home with a new babysitter, when she got the call. “All they said was, ‘He’s been hurt; he’s been brought in,’ ” she recalls. Police investigation of the mysterious attempted murder proved fruitless. Mickey suggests that right-wing vigilantes “probably hired a hit man.” The crime was never solved, but it marked a key inflection point in their lives. A string of portentous events in Chicago had shaken the family world during this turbulent time — stink bombs, surveillance, informants—and the attack convinced them to accept UCSB’s offer of a tenured professorship for Dick, a decision on which they’d wavered for months. “How can we come to this backwater resort?” Dick recalls thinking when first recruited. “It felt like we were retiring,” adds Mickey. As if.

FUN IN THE SUN: When Dick retired in 2006, Nick Welsh wrote of the couple’s 1969 arrival in Santa Barbara (The Santa Barbara Independent, May 11, 2006): “Flacks hoped a sunny campus by the Pacific would offer the quiet he needed,” the piece said.“How wrong could one man be? “He arrived with his family just months after the historic Santa Barbara oil spill and just months before the burning of the Bank of America in Isla Vista.” Amid that historic turmoil, and decades of local political clashes to follow, the two remained devoted to each other and to progressive, “think global, act local” principles, key figures in dozens of grassroots campaigns. “We never wanted our lives to revolve around that incident,” said Mickey, referring to the 1969 attack on her husband. The record will show that they did not. n The full story awaits the book.

Blanche Angelina Pitts
Richard Michael Martin
Blanche Angelina Pitts passed away at home on June 16, with her children present, in Santa Barbara, the city she so dearly loved and where she spent the majority of her life. She was born in Los Angeles, CA, to Perfecto and Sebastiana Arguedas, both from Jaurrieta, Spain. She was the middle of two sisters, Josephine Wheeler and Carmen Craviotto, and felt so blessed to have come from such an incredible family. The family relocated to Lancaster, CA, during the depression where they ranched with Blanche’s uncles’ and aunts’ families. As a child, she loved running through the surrounding hillsides covered in poppies and lupins and had many fond memories of those years on the ranch. After graduating from Antelope Valley High School, Blanche attended UCLA for two years and then Wright McMahon Secretarial School in Beverly Hills. She was married for 25 years to her high school sweetheart, David Pitts, in 1947 and lived in San Luis Obispo for several years before settling in Santa Barbara around 1949. Blanche was kind and gentle, had a wonderful sense of humor, and was the most amazing mother. She cherished her family, was a passionate reader, and loved the arts and all of nature. Her home was a reflection of these values. Blanche is survived by two of her three children, Diane (Mike) Geraghty and Stephen Pitts of Santa Barbara; her sister, Carmen Craviotto of Santa Barbara; three grandsons:, Evan Pitts, Michael Geraghty, Jr., and Ian Pitts; three great-granddaughters, Shayla Pitts, Lilia Pitts, and Rowan Pitts; eight nieces and nephews; and friends who loved her. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Josephine Wheeler, and her son, Gregory Pitts. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, August 15th, 11:00 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church Chapel, 21 E. Constance Ave. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Music Academy of the West or the Santa Barbara Visiting Nurses Association.
Richard Michael Martin, age 70, passed away peacefully at his home in Diamond Springs, California, on July 13, 2015, after a courageous battle with cancer. Richard was born on October 7, 1944, on his family’s farm in Pennsylvania. He was the son of Michael “Mike” Dominic Martin and Mildred Mary DeMark Martin. Richard was predeceased by his sister, Gloria Jean Torres, and her husband, Albert Torres. Richard graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1963. He was an Army veteran, having completed ranger training with the 75th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles. The discipline and patriotism he learned in the army never left him, as his friends and family will attest. Richard spent many years as a commercial fisherman and was the owner of several seafood restaurants in Southern California. Following this, he spent several years completing many landscape and structural renovation projects throughout Santa Barbara County and surrounding areas. Richard retired in 2005 and pursued his passion of creating beautiful cabochons (pendants made from stones, fossils, abalone and other things) for his friends, family members and even total strangers, making them all feel extra special. Richard is survived by his devoted wife, Kathleen “Katy” Martin; two daughters, Tracie Marie Forse and Andrea Marie Martin; and one son, Jeffrey Allen Green. He also leaves behind two grandchildren, Shane Walker Forse and Austin James Forse; his sister, Dolores “Dolly” Fassio, and her husband, Fred Fassio; his nephew, Casey Labbitt; and his four nieces, Amy Humes, Cindy Garcia, Cathy Balboa and Michelle Sames, as well as many loving friends. Richard was a protector of women, children and animals. He lived an amazing life and saw beauty in common things others would consider ordinary, like rocks found in creek beds, the sheen that develops on the surface of the ocean, sunsets during stormy weather and desert landscapes. He was extremely intelligent and quick-witted with

Gerald Havens Grant 08/24/45 – 07/15/15
Gerald Havens Grant, born August 24th, 1945, in Santa Barbara, CA, passed away peacefully in the loving arms of his wife of 47 years Celendra “Lenne,” son Christopher, and daughter Suzanne on July 15th, 2015. He is survived by his sister Kathleen Sullivan, and brothers Boyd and David (his twin). Grandchildren include Shaunessy, Kaylia and McKenna Grant and Katherine and Michael Brunn. He enlisted in the Air Force immediately after graduating from San Marcos High School in 1963, rising to the rank of Airman 1st Class where he served overseas during the Vietnam War and was a decorated marksman. He and Lenne married soon after and began to work for GTE. He became a supervisor of the Solvang and Santa Maria branches and was proud to install the first push-button phone in CA. He also maintained communications of the Ronald Reagan Ranch during the presidential years. Gerald found his greatest peace in the mountains and shared his love of nature with the area youth, serving many years as Scoutmaster for Troop 42. He was also a docent for Sedgwick Reserve, was a published photographer, served on the original SYV Bike Path Committee and enjoyed singing in the SYV Choral. He lived by the saying “Follow your dreams. Never give up.” Flowers may be sent to the Old Mission Santa Inés (1760 Mission Dr., Solvang, CA 93464) by Friday, July 24, for the Rosary at 7pm.

Robert W. Killen
08/15/54 – 06/04/15
Robert W. Killen transitioned at his home in Santa Barbara on Thursday, June 4, 2015 ,after a fiveyear battle with cancer. Known as “Bobby” or “Bobaloo” by his close friends, he enjoyed traveling via all modes of transportation, collecting interesting cars, and helping everywhere. Most of all he loved people. Being naturally curious about folks of all kinds, he would ask charming and relevant questions at every opportunity, making new friends everywhere he went. Bob became a world traveler early in life, being the son of a high ranking U.S. Marine. His parents Col. George Killen and Evelyn Killen were stationed in Cuba during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, where his dad was commanding officer of the Ground Defense Force at Guantanamo Bay. The family was quickly but temporarily evacuated from Cuba and later returned after President John F. Kennedy negotiated the peaceful outcome of a worldwide tense standoff. Bob greatly enjoyed his youth in Cuba, especially riding his own horse at the base stables. In 1992 he orchestrated a return to Cuba with his late brother Bill where they both received redcarpet treatment. A native of Bethesda, Maryland, Bob received his Bachelor of Arts in environmental science from the University of California, Santa Barbara. As a part-time property manager in Isla Vista while attending UCSB, Bob unknowingly began what was to become a long career in the real estate business. Bob’s vast postcollege work experience included director of operations for Mariposa Property Management Company and duties as co-founder of Killogan & Company, a property inspection business. He was also, in successive tours, a broker for Pitts & Bachmann Realtors, senior leasing agent for the Santa Barbara Housing Authority, and a leasing agent for Sierra Property Management. In semi-retirement, Bob enjoyed being what he selfdescribed as a “tale of two cities,” spending summer periods in the High Eastern Sierras at his beloved cabin near Tom’s Place, and returning in winter to beautiful Santa Barbara to work for both Sierra Property Management and
Summit Funding as a consultant. “I have the perfect life!” he would often say. Bob was a tale of more than two cities. His circle of friends spanned Santa Barbara, Mammoth Lakes, the Bay area, San Diego, New York, Michigan, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. His quick wit, disarming charm, wickedly funny sense of humor, and genuine kindness made him a gem of a friend to anyone lucky enough to be a part of his world. Bob is survived by his nephew Christopher Killen, sister-in-law Mary Jo Killen, and a very close group of “chosen family” and friends. Per Bob’s wishes, no memorial is planned; however an informal Celebration of Life will be held in Santa Barbara, August 22, 2015. Donations can be directed to Pacific Pride or the Visiting Nurse and Hospice Care of Santa Barbara, with highest respect and appreciation for their support.
Flavia Marie Weedn 02/19/29 – 06/10/15
Our beloved mother, Flavia Marie Weedn (Register), was born on February 19, 1929, in Los Angeles, CA, and became an angel watching over us on June 10, 2015, in Santa Barbara, CA. She was a daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, friend, artist, gypsy, poet and philosopher. She was an extraordinary human being, and she lived a most wonderful life. Mama was raised on deep southern values by a humble family rich in love and hope. The depth of their goodness, their belief in God, and their faith in one another shaped the beautiful soul of our mother. She was born not of money, prestige or finery, but of giving and gracious hearts. She loved life with a passion and had a unique way of embracing every moment as a miracle. She never forgot to thank God for small blessings; she knew that in small things there existed great virtues. Mama’s wealth was her capacity to love. Indeed, she was the richest woman among us. God gave Mama true grace and a classic inner beauty. She was genteel, feminine, tender and real. A deep and free thinker, she was captivating, elegant in her simplicity,

CATCH AND RELEASE: No, everything does
not happen for a reason. And despite frequent assertions to the contrary, the Lord does give you more than you can handle. But on the flip side, I’ve never been that comfortable with the whole random, pointless, empty thing. Given this meager range of options, I’ve been forced to take refuge in happy coincidences. Lucky for me, last Thursday offered a doozy. That’s when the Hastings Alumni Association —a new crew of civil uplifters— hosted an evening forum on Proposition 47 at the Louise Lowry Davis Center. In case you forgot, Prop. 47 was passed overwhelming by voters statewide last November to downgrade a host of rinky-dink crimes of self-destruction and chemical self-immolation from felonies to misdemeanors. Mostly, we’re talking drug possession and the shoplifting often committed by those drug-possessed. Until Prop. 47, such shoplifters were frequently charged with acts of commercial burglary—a felony—and shipped off accordingly to some state prison. During the campaign, supporters argued Prop. 47 would remove low-level nonviolent offenders now occupying expensive and nonexistent real estate in the state prisons and placing them somewhere more appropriate. On the other hand, law-enforcement officials warned the sky would fall if Prop. 47 were passed. After only six months, it’s still too soon to say that the Fat Lady has definitively sung. But early indications strongly indicate that the sky has yet to hit the ground.
Home on the Mange
Earlier last Thursday, President Barack Obama would beat the Hastings Alums to
the punch. Obama seized the opportunity to become the first president to visit a federal prison. While at Oklahoma’s El Reno facility, The Prez wondered how the United States’ behind-bars population could have jumped from 500,000 in 1980 to 2.2 million today. The question isn’t new; what’s new is how right wingers are now asking it even more urgently than the civil libertarian left. Eighty billion dollars—that’s our annual incarceration tab — ain’t cheap. The Hastings Boys fielded an impressive panel of three judges, Sheriff Bill Brown, the public defender, a high-ranking prosecutor, and the county probation chief. The Big News is that about 1,500 Prop. 47 petitions have been filed, and most granted. Today, the District Attorney is filing 39 percent fewer felony charges and the backlog of felony cases has dropped by 25 percent. Although Prosecutor Kelly Scott suggested that Los Angeles’ recent crime-rate increase—12.7—might be tied to Prop. 47 and all the low-level offenders it cut loose, there’s little evidence the barbarians are at the gate in Santa Barbara because of this. According to stats cited by Sheriff Brown, crime has dropped 2 percent since Prop. 47 went into effect. Violent crime has plunged 29 percent. Brown worries that critics of his proposed new North County jail will cite such info to argue the new jail is not necessary. Although average daily population at the jail
plunged immediately after Prop. 47, Brown said it’s returned to pre-Prop. 47 levels. Fully 70 percent of county jail inmates, he pointed out, have yet to go to trial. Only 30 percent are serving sentences. That number never ceases to astonish. How much of a new jail would be needed if that 70 percent number could be whittled down? It turns out a typical felony defendant shows up in front of South Coast judges 35-40 times before going to trial or reaching settlement. That’s a crazy number. No wonder local judges can only handle one trial a month. By law, anyone accused of a felony is entitled to a jury trial within days of pleading not guilty. In practice, roughly half of Santa Barbara’s felony cases take 90 days or more to get there. Of those, half take more than 180. I’m no efficiency expert, but if the nation’s airlines were run the same way, we’d all be walking. To the extent there was much debate last Thursday, it was all about carrots and sticks. Sheriff Brown and Prosecutor Scott argued without the threat of a felony sentence, law enforcement could not coerce defendants with addiction issues facing misdemeanor charges to sign up for the intensive 18-month treatment programs required by Drug Court and other diversion programs. They have a point, but one with a big asterisk. Drug Court numbers dropped from 78 before Prop. 47 to just 57 this June. But it’s worth noting that Drug Court enrollments were dropping even before Prop. 47, though not as fast.

That’s because County Probation and the DA’s office have differing opinions about what kind of offenders should be given the “second chance” of drug court. Probation insists the program works best for high-risk repeat offenders but is wasted on low-risk newbies. They claim the research backs this up. But for many prosecutors, this math makes no sense, and they’re not inclined to reach out to defendants who’ve squandered such efforts in the past. Public Defender Rai Montes de Oca wondered to what extent the stick has ever worked, and argued that the carrot needs to be reinvented. Drug Court may have been cutting-edge 20 years ago, he said, but not now. He cited a new program originating in Hawai‘i called Project HOPE. Unlike Drug Court, Project HOPE does not require participation in a treatment program—though it’s encouraged. Participants are, however, required to meet certain benchmark expectations — like not testing positive. Those who fall short get sent to jail for two to three days and then released to try again. The carrot Project HOPE offers is the dismissal of charges for those who eventually make it. A recent study of four Project HOPE programs suggests the approach is actually working; participants were 55 percent less likely to be arrested for new crimes and 72 percent less likely to use drugs again. In the meantime, it’s like they say: The Lord wouldn’t give you more carrot cake than you could eat. —Nick Welsh

obituaries cont’d and always so filled with wonder. She wore bangles on her wrists and high-top sneakers until her last days here on Earth. She found beauty everywhere and in everyone. Mama was brave and unafraid; she understood there was no time to leave words unsaid. She held love in her pocket, and always had a story to tell and a heart that would listen uncritically. Her life’s work inspired romances, soothed broken hearts, and gave hope to all who needed it most. She was a voice of encouragement and validation; she gave us all permission to feel and to share our feelings not only without shame but with passion and gratitude. Her voice reminded us that we are never alone. She generously dedicated herself to providing hope to the human spirit and touched the lives of millions all over the world. In 1954, Mama married our father, Jack Weedn, and together they began their colorful journey. In the early 60’s, needing money to pay the rent, Mama gathered used window shades and old pieces of wood to paint on, then sold them on our front lawn. Soon, she and Dad were selling her paintings in street fairs and in art festivals throughout California. In 1963 they opened their first art gallery in Laguna Beach, then Disneyland Hotel, Ports-of-Call, Snowmass at Aspen and Huntington Beach. Throughout the next four decades Mama’s artwork flourished, as did she. She enjoyed one-woman art shows; her work was reproduced on cards, calendars, posters and thousands of home products distributed worldwide. She wrote and published over 75 books; her first children’s book, Flavia and the Dream Maker, became a sold-out stage play, and she never missed a single performance! Giving back meant the world to Mama, and she supported and worked with countless caring organizations, such as the American Heart Assoc, Child Abuse Listening Mediation (CALM), Bereaved Parents Organizations, National PTA, Women’s Shelters, and Rape Crisis Centers, and she wrapped her heart around as many children’s rights organizations as her tireless hands could hold. Love and family were everything to Mama. We were always what mattered most in her life. She instilled in us a deep appreciation for one another, for all people, and for God. More than anything Mama believed in love. She lived her life sharing that love with all of us. Mama’s spirit sang the song she believed in. She was authentic and true, and it was from her we learned how to find beauty in the ordinary. It was from her we all learned that giving love is life’s greatest gift. She treated us as if we were her finest and most sacred treasures — and she did so unconditionally. She owned this kind of love. Mama talked to the moon and stars and shared her thoughts with God as though He were sitting in a chair in our living room. She revered Him, and we grew up knowing that God held us in his hands and loved us with all of His heart. If she thought the world was about to end, Mama would have still watered her geraniums and tea roses, and if she couldn’t, she believed there would always be someone who would. She owned this kind of faith. Every day Mama would look up at the sky and tell us she felt certain that something very wonderful was going to happen. Whether or not it ever happened didn’t matter. She always believed it would. And so did we. Mama is with us always. We thank God she was our mother. We are so grateful for her love, her teachings, for the memories she
gave us, and for the blessings that were born during the magical time we shared together. We still own them. We always will. There are no goodbyes, Mama. You always taught us that love lasts forever; it is the beauty we take with us wherever we go. In heaven, Mama joins her parents Sylvia and Flavil Register, brother Bill Register, best friend and husband of 45 years Jack Weedn, their first two sons, and so many loved ones. Those of us here on Earth will forever carry on her rich legacy of love. On behalf of her son Richard Weedn; daughter Lisa Weedn; grandchildren Sylvie Gilbert, Stella Weedn, and Miguel Weedn; sister Judy Kohler (Erick); sister-in-laws Deloris Register and Betty Hosie (Bernard); beloved nieces and nephews, cousins, friends, and many many kindred souls whom she so adored, we offer our gratitude in Flavia’s own words …”If I could sit across the porch from God, I’d thank him for lending me you.” A private celebration of Flavia’s life will take place in late July. In lieu of flowers, she would want you to embrace every minute of this wonderful life and to reach out to those closest to your heart and tell them how very much they are loved. Rest in peace, Mama. We know you’re dancing with the angels.
Stanley A. Couzens 05/21/40 – 07/12/15
Stan Couzens (Butch/Butch Cain) left this world too soon due to brain cancer. He passed peacefully at home in SedroWoolley, WA, his loving life partner, Vickie Myrick, by his side. Stan moved to Santa Barbara in 1964 with his family. He founded Sac-Art Business Printing in Santa Barbara/Goleta in 1974, sold the business in 1999 and retired in WA. While in Santa Barbara/Goleta, Stan was involved with Jaycees, Elks Club, S.B. Ski Club, Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce (named 1995’s Goleta’s Man of the Year), and Rotary Club Goleta Noontime. He co-hosted a local weekly radio show, “This Week in Goleta,” and he was the emcee for Goleta’s first Fireworks Festival. Many children over the years knew Stan simply as “Santa.” He volunteered for organizations as Santa, giving kids a jingle bell that would ward off nightmares when rung. In WA, Stan was known as “Butch Cain, the Gun Slicker.” He also volunteered at St. Joseph’s Hospital. He was known for his colorful stories and sense of humor. In addition to Vickie, Stan leaves behind three children (Cami Helmuth (John) of Santa Barbara, CA; Tony Couzens (Anna) of Pomona, CA; and Corey Colombin (Rob) of Evergreen, CO), 10 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, Vickie’s daughter Denise Hie (Jon) and granddaughters, Emily and Sarah Hie, and many extended family and friends. All will miss him greatly.

Restored Hope House, Championed Trails, a Dedicated Volunteer
the Obern Trail or enjoyed a trail in the local hills? Or perhaps you toured the Historic Thomas Hope House? Or even more, you learned about some of the history of the De la Guerra Wedding party from the Fiesta Parade. Perhaps you viewed or participated in an event at the Santa Barbara Presidio put on by the Trust for Historic Preservation? These all have been possible due to the dedication of Vivian Obern. Vivian and George Obern moved to Santa Barbara in 1947 with their young son, Vaughn, when George was hired by UCSB as public information manager. As they became active in community affairs, Vie participated in many youth organizations. She taught Sunday school and led Cub Scouts for Vaughn and Girl Scouts at Vieja Valley School for her daughter, Dale. She served on the Santa Barbara Area Council of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA). One of her major achievements was initiating a project to build a seven-mile bikeway in Goleta and helping to raise the millions of dollars needed to construct it. The bike path was named the Obern Trail in their honor. Vie’s interest in California history was inspired by Pearl Chase, and she became known as one of Pearl’s Girls. When the house Thomas Hope had built in 1875 was condemned, George and Vivian’s interest in history inspired them to purchase the house for their 25th wedding anniversary in 1965. They restored Hope House, and it is now a county historical landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places. Their daughter and her husband, Greg Hoeffliger, eventually moved in and raised four daughters there. Vivian served on many historical and trails committees as a dedicated volunteer. She was appointed by governor Ronald Reagan to the State Recreational Trails Committee, and she also served on the Board of Directors of the National Trails Council, as a member of the County Riding and Hiking Advisory Committee, president of the Therapeutic Riding Academy, secretary of the
Citizen’s Advisory Committee of La Purísima Mission State Historic Park, and chair of the County American Revolution Bicentennial Committee. During 1976, she and George participated in the reenactment of the De Anza expedition of 1776 by riding their horses almost 400 miles from Santa Barbara to San Francisco. In 2001, George and Vie rode in a carriage in the Rose Parade with a group representing the Spanish period of California. She was also a Courthouse docent as well as president of the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War (DUV). The family was also involved with Old Spanish Days Fiesta. Vie supported George in his numerous activities with Fiesta and the Carriage Museum. When George was El Presidente in 1977, the whole family rode in

De la Guerra parents of the bride until 2005. Vivian continued this tradition through 2013, when she was also named Honorary Grand Marshall. Dale and her daughter Natalie’s family, Kevin, Ashlin, and Westin, continue the tradition of the De la Guerra Wedding Party. Look for five of Vie’s great-grandchildren riding in the carriage for the De la Guerra Wedding Party this year! Vivian’s love for horses and riding the trails inspired her to become a founding member and executive secretary of the Santa Barbara Trails Council. She and George wrote five newsletters per year, sending out news of local trails as well as state and national trails for about 20 years. The Trails Council has continued to grow and preserve trails. She became a member of Santa Barbara’s Sage Hens in 1967. This women’s trail-riding group explores area ranches, complete with campouts. Vie’s creative costumes and songs added to the nightly festivities. She became known for her “necklace” of yearly badges, her bear costume, dressing up as Cleopatra when her granddaughter Aimee attended and dyed her “gram’s” hair jet black, the macaw feather hat, and rousing song lyrics for member celebrations, as well as her watercolor scenes from the many ranches they visited. Her spirit of fun and love of trails has passed to Dale, who continues her tradition of riding with the Sage Hens. Vie’s passion for history led to her involvement with the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation. She served on the Board of Directors, as secretary as well as two terms as president. She and George donated countless hours to the Trust, making adobe bricks, painting inside the chapel, organizing Presidio Day, gathering donations of items and funds, courtesy

building floats, and loving every minute. In 1998, the S.B. Trust presented George and Vie with the Pearl Chase Historic Preservation and Conservation Award. The Trust for Historic Preservation also created the George and Vivian Obern Preservation Stewardship Award in their honor. Among Vie’s many recognitions are two PTA Honorary Life Service Awards (1968 and 1976), Santa Barbara County Women of Achievement (1981), and Soroptimist Women of Distinction (1989). In 1989, she was chosen as Santa Barbara’s Woman of the Year. The Santa Barbara National Horse Show honored the Oberns for their commitment to Santa Barbara’s horse community (1996), and they also received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Principia College (1996) and the Lifetime Volunteer Achievement Award from the California Trails and Greenways Conference (1997). Vie is survived by her children Vaughn Obern, Dale Obern Hoeffliger (Greg), and Reade Obern (Nancy), as well as her four granddaughters Aimee Hoeffliger Pier (Stacy), Natalie Hoeffliger Goodwin (Kevin), Allison Hoeffliger, and Megan Hoeffliger. She has six great-grandchildren, Thatcher and Porter Pier, Ashlin and Westin Goodwin, and Addison and Levi Hoeffliger, as well as many nieces and nephews. A celebration of Vivian’s life will be held on Saturday, August 1, 2-4 p.m., at the Unitarian Society Church at 1535 Santa Barbara Street. Parking is available at the First Church of Christ Scientist, 120 East Valerio Street. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Vivian’s name to the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation (123 E. Canon Perdido St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101), Santa Barbara Trails Council (PO Box 22352, Santa Barbara, CA 93121 or at sbtrails.org), The Principia (Annual Fund Office, 13201 Clayton Rd., St. Louis, MO 63131 or principiagiving.org), or the Care Committee of the First Church of Christ Scientist (120 E. Valerio St., Santa Barbara, CA 93101). Vivian loved to dress in costumes, so guests are invited to wear attire suitable to their affiliation with Vie in such organizations as Fiesta, Trails, de Anza, DUV, Sage Hens, and so on. n july 23, 2015

Behind the Beagle
I
t’s a shame many dog owners seem to think it’s not their problem to deal with their dog’s leavebehinds. The beaches, parks, and trails are littered with hundreds of bags of poop. That is not how you pick up after your dog. You actually have to take that bag with you. I would like to also add that dog walkers should please bring a leash to public spaces (County Code 26-49 and 49.1). Many of us are not as enthusiastic about your hound urinating and/or chewing on our belongings. But dog owners seem to already be unable to grasp the “taking away” part of the poop bag. A good start for canine owners might be to pick up after their dog, then grab and dispose of another should they come across one. (If I ever saw that happen, my faith in “dog people” would begin to strengthen.) Please have some common courtesy if you insist on bringing your domesticated carnivore with you everywhere you go. Just do what you’re supposed to — Francis Desmond, S.B. do. Please?
Rodeo Torment
F
Terrorism Has No Religion
I
t is heartbreaking to hear that our country has lost four heroes on Thursday, July 16, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This terror act not only targeted the marines in the recruiting facility, but was also a blow to every American. The officials reported that the motives behind this horrific act are not determined yet. No matter what the motives might have been, nothing can justify the act of taking an innocent life. As a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, we strongly condemn such an inhumane act. The Qur’an states, “the killing of one … is like the killing of all mankind” (5:32). In campaigns such as Muslims for Loyalty and Muslims for Peace, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community aims to spread the true teaching of the Prophet Muhammad of loyalty and love for the land of residence. We invite Muslims and non-Muslims alike as brethren to grow together and learn about the true teachings of loyalty in Islam in order to express to such terrorists that terrorism is never acceptable under any nation, creed, or religion. We are all Americans, no matter the religion, creed, or social status. We must stick together in paying tributes to the lives lost and their families. Our sincere prayers are with the fallen heroes and the wounded. May the fallen victims rest in peace and the wounded be healed swiftly.

Junípero Serra:
Sinner and Saint
Th e Ma n B ehind the Controversy R e v e al e d
A
nyone who ever attended 4th grade at any California public schools during the past 50 years has probably been forced to learn how Father Junípero Serra — the 18th-century missionary who founded the first nine of the state’s 21 missions — hovers in the pantheon of founding fathers right up there with George Washington. For European colonials convinced they “discovered” California, Serra was the ultimate pathfinder, establishing new missions at a remarkably frenzied pace. Beyond that, however, little of the man radiates through the ages. For so pivotal a figure, Serra is strangely dull. Images are uniformly stolid and severe. Aside from what look to be — but aren’t — hair plugs sprouting comically from the crown of his head, he might as well be a big block of wood. Nonetheless, Serra has been the subject of at least four new books in the past two years. Rousing new interest in Serra has been Pope Francis, who aggressively fasttracked what would otherwise have been an uncertain path to sainthood for the polarizing California missionary, even waiving one of the key requirements normally required for canonization. The Argentinaborn Francis urgently wants a missionary saint who brought the gospel to the New World. Despite vehement objections — leveled by tribal representatives and many historians — that Serra drew up the colonial blueprints that led to the physical and cultural extinction of many native peoples, it appears the pope will get his wish on September 23. Of the new tomes on Serra, the one that exhumes the spirit of the man most vividly is Junípero Serra: California, Indians, and the Transformation of a Missionary by Rose Marie Beebe and Robert M. Senkewicz, the husband-andwife team of historians who teach at Santa Clara University. To an exceptional degree, they manage to penetrate the historical mustiness that’s dogged Serra for so long. Beebe, a professor of Spanish, time-traveled through Serra’s vast trove of reports and letters, many of which are kept at Santa Barbara’s Old Mission Archives. Her translations detail various feuds, recollections, reports, and encounters that Serra had and wrote extensively about. The new translations pop with fresh energy and suck even the most reluctant reader in. Senkewicz, a professor of history and a former Jesuit priest, sets the context for these missives, explaining — with authority and restraint — what was going on with Serra at the time. Together, they manage to conjure a more complicated, intriguing human being than the Junípero Serra extolled by supporters or vilified by critics. Those searching for a clear
by Nick Welsh
and tidy resolution should look elsewhere, but for those comfortable with the clutter of human complexity, their book is a major contribution. Santa Barbara Independent writer and wannabe historian Nick Welsh recently interviewed Senkewicz. The following is an edited version of their conversation.
There are so many books out on Serra. Why another one? What did you think you might find out that would be different? Rose Marie Beebe and I were doing some work on early California, and the missions always kept coming up. We’d consult the translations out there of Serra’s letters, and they were really, really stiff. So we began to wonder,“Serra can’t be that stiff.” We started wondering what a different translation of Serra’s letters would look like. That was the main thing. A lot of stuff on Serra, he’s presented in one extreme or the other: selfless, magnanimous saint or genocidal-maniac-type person. We thought let’s try to avoid the extremes and take him on his own terms and see where that leads us. That turned out to be something that hadn’t been done about Serra.
‘... he’s presented in one extreme or the other: selfless, magnanimous saint or genocidal-maniactype person. We thought let’s try to avoid the extremes …’
How did your translation differ than what had been done before? How does Serra shine through the ages in a different way? What happens is his emotions tend to come out more openly in the translation that Rose Marie did. He’s an administrator, so he writes a lot of boring bureaucratic stuff. Unfortunately, that tone in previous translations seeps into letters that are personal. We tried to separate those so when he’s writing another missionary or the governor, his emotions come out. This allows us to see him as a much more complicated, complex kind of figure. There’s the instance where he’s talking to a fellow missionary who’s really depressed and wants to go home and Serra talks him out of it, but it’s really intense, and Serra’s eyes well up. That was in Baja California. Most of the books on Serra don’t give that a lot of space. We found that his emotions really come out there and also his excitement about being with unbaptized Indians, you know. That’s what he desperately wanted to do. Why does this 55-year-old priest from Spain so desperately want to go to Mexico to be a missionary? Serra growing up on Majorca was a big deal. Majorca is a small little island, but it

Dream the impossible dream... REVOLT OF 1775: About 600 Kumeyaay from 15 villages attacked Mission San Diego, burning it to the ground and killing Father Luís Jayme — shown in graphic detail — plus a carpenter and a blacksmith. Serra would successfully fight to protect ringleaders from execution, but for military authorities — already dubious about the vulnerability of the missions — it was a breaking point. Serra himself was strikingly more cantankerous and sour afterward.

was at the intersection of a lot of trade routes in the Mediterranean, and he comes of age knowing that the wider world is out there. The other thing about Majorca — a bunch of people there had been missionaries among the Muslims in northern Africa; there was a missionary tradition. So when Serra begins to have this personal crisis in his mid-thirties — I resisted calling it a midlife crisis because that’s too Freudian — he’s not happy. He’s gotten to do everything he’s going to get to do. He’s got a chair at the university; he’s well known. But still, he’s wanting something different. He couldn’t move to a commune, you know, so he travels across the ocean to become a missionary.

She is supposed to have suffered an accident. But she dies in jail. But she was also accused of turning herself into a bat and sucking the necks of children! That’s a typical accusation that shows up in Inquisition records from northern Mexico. She also cavorted with Poway Indians. She probably had sex outside of marriage.

600 Kumeyaay Indians and burned to the ground in response to the harsh punishment meted out there. One missionary was killed in the attack.] Before 1775, Serra goes to Mexico City; he gets an audience with the viceroy, the military commander, and he’s thinking things are going really well. He wants to do more missions; the world is his oyster. But after the destruction of
Junípero Serra Mission San Diego, the military people are saying, “No more missions. Look what happened at your first mission.” Serra gets kind of depressed, and he gets cranky, and until his death, he’s more sour than anything else. That surprised me. He’s still doing all the stuff he’s doing, but he gets more cantankerous and a lot less patient.
What’s the weirdest thing you found out about him? His notion that he was always right. He was an impatient guy, very selfassured. Probably overly self-assured. You give the sense that he feuded with every governor, every military commander, and a lot of his missionaries, too. I don’t think he was an easy guy to get along with. He never met a military commander he liked. He got one fired; he didn’t like the replacement. He doesn’t like most of the soldiers he deals with. Some of his fellow missionaries find the guy wants do more and more and more, and the others are saying, “Hey, let’s slow down a little rather than running off and founding another mission.”
sion, or if they had permission, they didn’t get back in time. Soldiers would be sent to bring them back, or friendly Indians would be sent. One of the things that missionaries never did was explain that as far as Catholic theology was concerned, baptism was a lifetime commitment; once you came into the mission, you had made a commitment to stay there the rest of your life. So you get guys saying, “I’ll come in to get my kid baptized; maybe the priest can cure him.” It doesn’t work, so they leave. All of a sudden, you can’t leave, because you made a lifetime commitment.

I was struck by how hostile relations were between Serra and the military commanders. You indicate it’s because he thought the soldiers were raping the Indian women and taking advantage of Indian labor. That’s exactly right. The relationship between missionaries and soldiers was BIG HURRY: When Junípero Serra showed up in California, he was a middle-aged man in a very big always strained. Missionaries hurry. He’d rather get stuff done than get along. In his tended to regard themselves first eight years, he established no fewer than eight as the friends of the Indians, missions. “I think if you saw him coming down the and they tended to think the street, you’d run for the hills,” said Robert Senkewicz. Indians were their friends, too. The presence of soldiers at a mission was a visible sign that this self-image was incomplete. They tured.

Junípero Serra on a pole and giving him 25 lashes on the back.
How often did Serra flog himself? If not every night, then at least half the time. This was a regular thing for members of religious orders — especially male religious. They all did that thing back then. Serra wanted to build a mission in Santa Barbara almost from the get-go. Why was he so gung-ho about Santa Barbara? This goes way back to 1769 and the Portolá expedition. They were blown away by the Chumash. The canoes, the tomols — they couldn’t believe how well constructed they were. Then the Chumash villages were very orderly, very well laid out; they tended to be a little more permanent than some of the other villages, and they reminded the Spanish of Spain. They thought these people are the most culturally advanced Indians. So if we can get these people Catholic, then the rest of the native populations would be easier.
SERRA AND SANTA BARBARA: Serra would not live to see the founding of Mission Santa Barbara, because of irreconcilable policy differences with Governor Felipe de Neve. Mission Santa Barbara would not be founded until two years after “the exemplary death” of Serra in 1784. In this painting by Mariano Guerrero, Serra is shown receiving Holy Communion right before his death.
Did it work out that way? When the whole mission system gets built out, there are more missions located among the Chumash than any other tribe in California. You’ve got San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara, La Purisima, and Santa Inés all very close to each other. But then in 1824, the Chumash rebelled. [More than 2,000 Chumash participated in the uprising against the missions and the Mexican authorities, who’d taken over from the Spanish three years before.] It turned out the Chumash were so sophisticated that they organized the most significant revolt against the missions in the whole mission period. Based on the letters in your book, it was Governor Neve who prevented the founding of Mission Santa Barbara until two years after Serra’s death. There seemed to be a whole lot of intrigue going on. What was that about? Neve wanted to weaken the power of the mission system. He was going to make sure there was only one priest at the mission rather than two. If there’s one, that guy is going to spend all his time saying mass and hearing confessions. If there are two, one would take care of the spiritual, and the other would handle crops and material issues. After Serra founded Mission San Buenaventura, Neve saw that two priests had been installed there. Later, Neve goes to Santa Barbara and founded the Presidio. Serra thinks, “Okay, then I can found the mission.” Neve says you can’t. He’s doing that basically to spite Serra. This is Neve’s punishment to Serra for founding San Buenaventura under the old system of two priests, not just one.
Your letters make it seem really personal between these two. You’re saying it wasn’t? Neve really believed that missions were supposed to assimilate the natives and make them productive citizens of the empire and that they were only supposed to be around 10 to 20 years. The Indians would be taught Spanish, the missions would be turned into regular parishes, and the land would be divided up by soldiers. That never happened. The missionaries always said the Indians weren’t quite ready to leave. Neve thought if you let other missions get started, you’d never get these people out of there. Neve thought the primary institution for assimilation should be the towns not the missions. Bring in settlers. Let the Indians work for the settlers; the Indians would learn Spanish; they’d learn a trade, become productive; and the Empire would be the beneficiary. Neve founded two towns — San Jose and Los Angeles — and he wanted more.
BEATIFICATION IN EYE OF BEHOLDER? Pope Francis — the first Latin American pope — has fast-tracked Serra for sainthood despite objections that the mission system led to the destruction of both native cultures and peoples. If all goes according to papal plans, Serra will become a saint this September.
As a former Jesuit priest, do you have any thoughts about making Serra a saint? I can see both sides of this issue. We started this book 10 years ago when this whole thing [canonization] was not even a possibility. The pope is from Latin America; the major person in the U.S. pushing this is Archbishop [José] Gómez of Los Angeles, who was born in Mexico. They’re very interested in having a missionary Hispanic saint who brought the gospel to a new area of the world. On the other side, I can understand how people who are opposed say, “You know, we always thought saints are supposed to be people who transcend their time.” Serra was in so many ways a man of his time. He doesn’t go beyond his time like Mother

SCRAPING BACK THE PAST: Translator Rose Marie Beebe and historian husband Robert Senkewicz were convinced Junípero Serra couldn’t be nearly as stiff as previous scholars made him out to be. It took 10 years of work, but it turned out they were right.
Teresa. Also, if you canonize Serra, then you’re canonizing the whole mission system, and that system was very much of a mixed bag.
As a historian, how do you see Serra’s legacy on the native populations? Serra was a colonial official. The missionaries’ salaries were paid by the government. They were part of the Spanish colonial system. Nowadays, the church missionaries wouldn’t act like this. They’d try to understand native cultures a lot more, but back then, the Spanish empire had military and religious aspects to it. The missionaries always thought of themselves as being the good guys in the colonial system. But they were, nevertheless, still in the colonial system. Why would the Chumash go in there? There was food there. They may not like it, but there was food. The traditional way of life was impossible. There are diseases running around. There are no acorns left anymore [because of the colonial method of cattle grazing]. So what the mission had was food. The only other option was to go into the Central Valley, but there were already native people living there who wouldn’t be too happy with Chumash barging in. That was it for a lot of native peoples; it was a time of little choice. How do you think Serra uniquely influenced the development of California Alta? What was unique to him was his pushiness, his determination, his commitment. He wasn’t going to wait. Some other missionary may have waited. He founds eight missions in the first eight years. Someone else might have said two or three would have been fine.

125 Helpful Chicks
at Fairview Farms
Adventure
Text and photos by Caitlin Fitch “They’re dual-purpose: They provide wonderful eggs—who doesn’t like fresh eggs?—and make the farm better,” explained Kjessie Essue (pictured right), director of farm operations at Fairview Gardens, about their newest crop: 125 chicks of six different breeds, which will provide pest control and fertilizer with their manure. Although the farm’s apprentices, who receive hands-on agricultural experience and education while working at Fairview, are managing the project and building the henhouses, one particularly maternal black Australorp (above) is teaching these 21/2-week-old chicks how to be proper hens. “In the evenings after dinner, we all sit around and watch chicken TV,” said Essue. “They’re just so fun!”

TOURIST TREASURES: The County Courthouse is just one of many attractions on Urban Adventure Quest’s Santa Barbara challenge.
n these days of drought, Arcadia Studio’s land-
scape architects are working hard to water-wise clients’ exterior spaces without sacrificing the enjoyment of backyard living. The firm’s Derrik Eichelberger assured that even in dehydrated conditions, there are plenty of decadent design options. “I like to design using texture and plant color, but not necessarily flowers,” he said. “We are steering people away from flower gardens and focus more on the individual plant color and structure.” Succulents fit well into this niche. “Succulents have that exotic color, texture, and form,” said Arcadia’s Laurie Romano. “It’s easy to use them because they are very bold. It turns into a focal point in your garden.” But the creativity doesn’t stop with cactus. “If it’s a traditional home and they want an English tea garden, we can make that with drought-tolerant things,” said Romano. “We can still do that; we just have to pick the right plants.” Lawns are still popular for play and relaxation, but people are wanting less of it. Eichelberger often starts by replacing traditional grass with one of several varieties of turf grasses that have a similar shaggy appearance but that consume less water. “There’s a whole gamut of lawn alternatives,” he said. “Our job is how to fill that other area that used to have lawn.” Romano often incorporates non-plant matter to achieve her designs. “It helps to have other elements in your garden, like stones and boulders to give height,” she said. “If it’s perfectly flat, you want to create

some change in elevation—something to make your eye look at different things.” Another trick is to design outdoor seating areas with permanent furniture, fire pits, and carefully designed walls and planters to provide clients with customized outdoor entertainment spaces. Even small changes like adding gravel and stepping stones can boost the design’s effect, said Eichelberger, while reducing the overall lawn area. But phasing out lawns completely is also gaining momentum. “We do lots of native gardens,” said Eichelberger. “I just did a garden in Montecito that had a big oak woodland, with no woodland. We did the whole thing into a native garden, and they are just loving it!” See arcadiastudio.com. — Carolina Starin

cavenger hunts are no longer confined to playgrounds and neighborhoods: Stearns Wharf, the Arlington Theatre, and the old County Courthouse are just three of the Santa Barbara highlights to explore during a competitive downtown tour developed by Urban Adventure Quest. Founded in 2011 by Christie Walker, husband Robbie Bos, and sister-in-law Tami Walker, Urban Adventure Quest facilitates sightseeing scavenger hunts in 39 cities across the United States via a series of smartphone-accessible clues and challenges. They were inspired by the hit reality show The Amazing Race and founded their Camarillobased company to bring that same “excitement and adventure” to anyone with a smartphone. Upon downloading the app, players use their surroundings to work out each challenge, thereby exploring the character, attractions, and history of each city. Participants score points for correct answers and can compare themselves to other teams that have toured the same city. Santa Barbara’s tour starts at Cabrillo Boulevard and Garden Street and then covers more than two miles of terrain over 17 challenges, passing iconic and historic points of interest like the Casa de la Guerra, the Courthouse, and Stearns Wharf. The tour is estimated to take twoand-a-half to three hours on foot—and that’s without taking breaks or stopping to explore further—and makes for an especially engaging hunt. “You have some downtown cities that are too retail-oriented, and there’s not enough history that’s showing,” said Christie Walker. “Every city has history, but Santa Barbara displays their history. There was plenty of outdoor art and historical plaques and ways that we can tell the history through the tour. That’s one of the things we like to do in our research: We find out about the history of a city. And then we don’t want to just tell—we want to show what [the history] is and have people learn about it through playing the game.” For $49, teams of two to five can take on a quest. Discounts are available for schools, nonprofits, active military, and veterans. Call 603-5620 or see urbanadventurequest.com. — Sam Goldman independent.com

Tremendous Trio of Triathlons Swim, Bike, and Run to Glory in Goleta, Santa Barbara, and Carpinteria
R
ide a bike to the beach, go for a swim, and run to
the pier and back. For years, those have been components of the active summer lifestyle in Santa Barbara. In 1974, a track club in San Diego created an organized swim-bike-run race, the first so-called modern triathlon. Santa Barbara started one of its own in 1981. It is still going on — the 35th takes place next month — and it is billed as the oldest annual triathlon on the U.S. mainland (the Hawai‘i Ironman predates it). Two other triathlons also take place on the South Coast: the fifth annual Goleta Beach Triathlon this weekend and the 18th annual Carpinteria Triathlon in September. Area athletes can “tri, tri, and tri again” without traveling out of town. Here is a rundown of our triple scoops of exercise. GOLETA BEACH TRIATHLON: Sunday, July 26, 7 a.m. Long
course: one-mile swim, 22-mile bike, five-mile run. Sprint course: .25-mile swim, 11-mile bike, 2.5-mile run. goleta beachtriathlon.com. “We want it to be a first-timer’s race,” said Jerrett McFarland, founder of the event. To that end, rookie triathletes get half off their entry fees. “Get them hooked,” McFarland said.“It gives you a high that’s very addictive: ‘It’s something I can do!’” McFarland, 52, got hooked at the Santa Barbara Triathlon in 2007 after he underwent a procedure to cure a heart defect. “I was a smoker and drinker,” he said. “I had lunch with my aunt, Anita Ho, and she got me all excited about doing a triathlon.” McFarland did other races around the state and eventually envisioned the Goleta Beach Park, with its protected cove and surrounding flat roads and bike paths, as an ideal venue for a triathlon that won’t kill you. Kirstin Candy-McFarland, an avid triathlete, did the first Goleta Beach Tri and volunteered to help out at subsequent events. She and McFarland were married last Valentine’s Day. “We want to demystify the triathlon,” she said. “We don’t want ego. It’s a hometown thing. There are a lot of loops on the course, so you see your family and friends all the time.” Candy-McFarland puts another talent to use at the start of the triathlon. She has toured nationally as a singer and songwriter, and her rendition of the national anthem precedes the dash into the ocean. As many as 550 people have signed up for the races, McFarland said, and carpooling is encouraged to ensure enough parking spaces. SANTA BARBARA TRIATHLON: Saturday, August 22,

Centered at the East Beach Bathhouse, a weekend of triathlonrelated events gets underway Friday with a sports expo. It attracts hundreds of tourists. World-class triathletes like Ironman champions Scott Tinley and Paula Newby-Fraser have competed here. The Saturday race is a serious challenge, with its hilly bike ride followed by a long run.“Oh, man, that long course is so tough,” said Carpinteria’s Matt Organista, winner of the sprint race last year.“I EYES ON THE PRIZES: Matt Organista won the sprint race at last year’s Santa Barbara crashed my bike in 2010 Triathlon, took hometown honors by winning the Carpinteria Tri, and overcame a serious elevation rise to claim the Pier to Peak title, as well. and went into the run just wasted.

Game of the Week
7/26: Polo: USPA Nespresso America Cup Championship: One of the original extreme sports has been going on at the S.B. Polo & Racquet Club for more than a century. Two players skilled at striking the ball while their ponies approach 40 mph were raised in Carpinteria: Jeff Hall of the Lucchese team and Santi Torres of Alegria-Valiente. Hall, 35, was named MVP after Lucchese won the Belmond El Encanto Classic last week. Hall has a seven-goal rating, as does Torres, who’s only 21. A pair of Argentines are rated at eight goals: Paco de Narvaez of Wildcat and Lucas Criado of Farmers & Merchants Bank. Klentner Ranch, led by seven-goaler Mike Azzaro, is also among the five teams competing for trophies in the summer season that lasts until September 6. Consolation: 11am. Final: 2pm.

THE BEACH ENDURANCE EVENTS: Sunday, August 16, Goleta Beach. It’s the 37th running of this standby, sponsored by McConnell’s Ice Cream. A scoop awaits the participants, who can choose from a menu of events: 10K run, 5K run (including a children’s division), one-mile swim, and aquathon (1K swim/5K run).

Add 4,000 feet of elevation gain, and it verges on ridiculous. “It’s the hardest race I’ve ever done,” said Organista, who claimed yet another victory last summer in his first attempt. “I looked back from the top and thought,‘I can’t believe I did that.’ ” It starts at 6:30 a.m., and n heat rises along with steepness on Gibraltar Road.

T
he saga of how one of Santa Barbara County’s pioneering wine families launched one of the country’s most respected beer-making companies just got even more interesting: This week, it was announced that Firestone Walker Brewing Company will “combine” with 145-year-old Belgian brewery Duvel Moortgat in order for the Buellton-founded, Paso Robles–based company to grow capacity while maintaining quality. Firestone is a darling of the United States’ massive craft brew movement, frequently being named best midsized brewery in the country, strongly pushing the envelope of beer styles, and hosting one of the most anticipated beertasting events on the West Coast calendar.
european Beer company invests in growtH of cenTral coasT craFT BreWery
The deal is reportedly not yet finalized, and the terms will most likely never be fully known, as both familyowned companies are privately held. Some are calling it an acquisition of Firestone by Duvel; others describe it as an investment. But cofounder Adam Firestone, who is the son of pioneering Santa Ynez Valley vintner Brooks Firestone and started the beer company with brother-in-law David Walker back in 1996, said it was certainly unique. “This was a rare transaction,” said Firestone in an email. “We’re calling it a combination. They’ve invested and committed to more as we grow.” Reports of the deal range from $100 million-$250 million. He also assured that there were “no leadership changes whatsoever.” A post on the brewery’s website explained that the brewery would remain much the same but hinted that Firestone beers — of which 80 percent are sold in California — will likely be more available in other parts of the country in the years to come. “The company is not changing at all,” said Firestone to this newspaper in an email. “We have been blessed with strong growth the past years and are up 30%+ YTD. Equally, we’re blessed with an amazing talent pool which is why we like the Central Coast so much. So there will not be a single layoff.” Instead, he said that the brewery is actively hiring. “We are hiring vigorously right now and if anyone in your newsroom with PLC and automation experience, sanitary welding, logistics and warehousing or human resources management reads this, we’d appreciate them calling us,” he said. — Matt Kettmann

Bacon-Fried rice @ live oak caFé Bowls of rice aren’t something that Americans are used to chowing down in the morning. But this savory concoction at the new Live Oak Café on Bath Street — opened a couple of months ago by longtime restaurant manager Molly Holveck and her first-time-as-prochef boyfriend, Mark De la Cruz — is almost impossible to stop eating. That’s mainly due to the chunks of house-cured bacon, which De la Cruz prepares himself, and the creaminess wrought by the delicately fried egg and fresh avocado on top. Yet there’s also plenty of string beans, scallions, carrots, and other assorted bits in the mix to make you feel as though you got a healthy start to your day. $10; 2220 Bath Street; liveoakcafe.com; 845-5193. — MK

iesling is not a grape that gets much attention these days in Santa Barbara County. But that hasn’t stopped a determined group of winemakers from working to make the grape relevant again in a region where it has a surprising history. In fact, the region’s first riesling vines were planted in Rancho Sisquoc back in 1968. Pierre Lafond followed in 1972 by planting his eponymous vineyard along Santa Rosa Road with riesling, and then took a serious stab at making it in a dry style under his Santa Barbara Winery label. Even Sanford & Benedict vineyard was first planted in riesling before the more fashionable pinot noir and chardonnay took over in later years. Today, the cool climate and loamy sand soils of Kick-on Ranch, just west of the town of Los Alamos, is a leading site for riesling in the region. Although the grape still carries the stigma of the sweetness that was popular in the 1980s, most Santa Barbara County producers tend toward the bone-dry style of Germany and Austria. These racy, low-alcohol wines, laden with floral aromas, citrus flavors, and the zing of minerality, are fantastic with food and perfect for summer quaffing.

Earlier this week, I emailed Globe partner Laura Knight and received some details about the business: “Hi John. Yes, we are very excited to announce Globe will be opening soon; we anticipate Friday, July 31st! It’s a concept Santa Barbara has been missing, a small plates lounge, everything $10 and under, with dishes from all over the world. We will feature seafood, meats, vegetarian, and vegan — something for everyone! Alone or with friends you will be pleased with the food, spirits, and service. The bar will feature fresh squeezed juices, a full bar, wines & beers from around the world. Our kitchen will be open late, a comfortable, cozy place in a unique atmosphere. The location is 18 E. Cota Street, between American Ale and Blue Agave. I have been working since January with two design friends, Sandy Cowan and Cathy Buckingham, to completely remodel the dining space to create a space where everywhere you sit will be comfortable, like a giant living room, and everywhere you look, sexy, beautiful décor, a feast for the soul as well as the eyes! I have been working on the décor, food, and menu concept, and Gerry Cruz is the operating partner. Globe... coming soon to your planet!”

Turns out both are still going. That 25‑ acre vineyard is divvied up to stars like Turley and Scholium Project, but most of it goes to owners The Phillips Family, a k a Michael and David. While the Phillips might be best known for big mass‑market pleasers like 7 Deadly Zins, this bottling is their only single‑vineyard designate, and for good reason — there’s nothing else like it. A Rhône varietal typically used for blending, it offers a fascinating supple‑ ness with bright berry flavors. Think of it as grenache heading to pinot noir. History never tasted this delicious.

t’s probably safe to say that most of us feel we have a novel inside us just waiting to be written. It’s simply that we don’t have the time.

Meanwhile, Los Alamos author Terry Row actually does write those novels, his latest being Three Movements for Six Hands, which chronicles an imagined love affair between composer Johannes Brahms and his real-life friend Clara Schumann.

On the group’s new album Haunted Ride, Ventura band Hard Six takes a creative and electrifying stance on rockabilly, hot-rod punk, and psychobilly. The lyrics to the band’s song “Rockabilly Rumble,” which features grooving and crunching guitar and swinging percussions, sums it up best: “Rockabilly, psychobilly, freakabilly, rockabilly — it’s all rock ’n’ roll to me!” Still, the album proves that Hard Six isn’t just a rockabilly band — they are willing to experiment with different styles, such as classic country rock, which allows for more elaborate lyrical songwriting. If you like swing dancing rock ’n’ roll, this album is definitely for you. — Ryan Mandell
MuSe dRones
Muse vowed to return to their stripped-down rock-and-roll roots with their seventh album, Drones. While the band does leave some of the EDM elements of their recent music behind, Drones doesn’t quite qualify as undiluted garage rock. With lead singer Matthew Bellamy’s theatrical and vibrato-heavy vocals, phaser and fuzz pedals galore, sampling from drill sergeants and John F. Kennedy, and numerous layers of vocal and musical harmonies, the album plays as an actively political rock opera, more reminiscent of Queen than Nirvana. That said, it’s high time that a rock opera accessible to both progrock aficionados and classic-rock die-hards made the radio waves; Drones’ first track and single, “Dead Inside,” has garnered nonstop radio play. While the album’s lyrics are melodramatic at times, the vocals and guitar melodies more than make up for it. Drones is one of the strongest rock albums of 2015. — Cassandra Miasnikov

he Cartel represents a return to familiar territory for the prolific Don Winslow, a former private investigator turned cult-crime novelist. Winslow picks up where his 2005 The Power of the Dog left off, with narcotics agents along the border of California, Texas, and Mexico, and in the drug cartel headquarters and plazas of Culiacán and Matamoros in Mexico, where the brutality of the Mexican drug cartels exists virtually unchecked. Winslow consulted nonfiction journalistic works about the Mexican drug wars in his research for the book, and it shows on nearly every page. Although it is a sequel, The Cartel can be read on its own, as Winslow deftly summarizes the events and characters of The Power of the Dog that provide the backdrop for action in the book’s opening sequences. DEA Agent Art Keller is back, and so is Keller’s longtime nemesis, Adán Barrera, the head of the Sinaloa Cartel, which Barrera has reformed and rebranded as El Federaciόn. At the novel’s beginning, Barrera is in a San Diego federal l at e s t G r i p p i n G detention center, but Ta l e he manages to buy his way back to a prison in Culiacán from which he can oversee his narco-trafficking empire. There, he and his lieutenants arrange his escape, and Barerra promptly puts a $2 million bounty on Keller, the man who put him in prison. Keller, in turn, decides his best defense is to come out of self-imposed retirement and return to the field to help track down Barrera. What follows is an elaborate and high-stakes cat-and-mouse game played out on both sides of the border. In the hyper-violent world depicted by the The Cartel Cartel, the so-called War on Drugs has slipped its bonds and let loose the dogs of a new and even larger war — a Dope War being fought among the competing drugtrafficking organizations themselves as they jockey for territory and power all over Mexico and Central America and leave dead bodies and shattered lives in their wake. In an age when many people seem to only want to inhabit a virtual world, Winslow uses his narrative powers to record and illuminate a very real world, and that is a quality much to be admired. — Bruce Riordan

Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics by
Don Black Directed by
Jamie Torcellini
- The Times, UK
A young English woman moves to New York City on a quest to find her place in the world, but soon finds that “dreams never run on time,” and it’s better to enjoy life, than to watch it pass by.

For Those AbouT To Rock by Richie DeMaria
PLAY IT AGAIN: The Ataris make a stop at Velvet Jones as part of their current tour, which sees the alt-rockers perform their 1999 breakout album, Blue Skies, Broken Hearts … Next 12 Exits, in its entirety.
WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO? Alt-rockers extraordinaire The Ataris play at
Velvet Jones tomorrow, Friday, July 24, and I imagine it will be a significant show for the band and audience alike. Why? Santa Barbara is home to the Blue Skies mobile home park, where lead singer Kristopher Roe took a photo of the famed neon sign to use for the cover of their 1999 breakout album, Blue Skies, Broken Hearts … Next 12 Exits, for which they are now touring to celebrate. They will play the album in its entirety on the Velvet stage, allowing fans to relish the emotional-punk-influenced hits penned in a pre-millennium S.B. — though started in Indiana, The Ataris really took shape here in town. Furthermore, Goleta punk band Lagwagon’s frontman Joey Cape produced the album, lending an extra layer of local connectivity. Who knows if Roe & Co. found the 12 highway exits constituting Santa Barbara-Goleta especially heartbreaking. Blue Skies brings tears, as one Pumpkin-Smasher once wrote, and surely happy climes can magnify the sad times. But melancholy this show shall not be; The Ataris find their fun in forlorn experiences, and this Friday night homecoming will be plenty of fun, indeed. GIRL POWER: For an alternative to the alt-rock, consider heading over to SOhO for the first of two Girls Rock S.B. Summer Showcases (the second is the following Fri., July 31). Each showcase follows a weeklong summer camp where young women are given the chance to form their own bands and write original songs. This Friday, July 24, is their chance to shine. Following the performance comes a lineup of regional music pros. Santa Barbara folk-rockers The Mutineers will headline, with support from Odessa and Next Door to the Moon. Last year, The Mutineers suffered the tragic loss of guitarist and singer Michael Astudillo, and as of now their future as music-making Mutineers remains uncertain. The fact they would step up and support Girls Rock S.B. in this difficult transitional period makes their appearance all the more noble, and all the more worthwhile. The following Friday, the artic-inspired The Blues and Greys will take a stand for Girls Rock with a slightly synthier angle on things. They have been relatively quiet this year thus far, so it will be a welcome re-emergence from these excellent indie rockers, lead by Feist-y front woman Lindsey Waldon. The Blue and Greys will be joined by reggae four-piece Soul Majestic, who just released their new single “Rockaway.” No matter which showcase you attend, each will be in support of a great cause fueled by great talent — go, and let the girls know they rock. GOINGS-ON ELSEWHERE: Fairview Gardens Center for Urban Agriculture needs your help. Tonight, Thursday, July 23, the longstanding Goleta farm will be raising funds at SOhO for their beloved educational and community-supported agriculture programs as part of the Cabin by the Sea Series, a monthly music event raising awareness on regional environmental nonprofits. Soul Scratch, a soul-funk band from the San Fernando Valley, will sew some groovy seeds in support of the beloved urban farm. That same night, FUNZONE hosts some bands with especially fun names: Free Cake for Every Creature and I Tried To Run Away When I Was Six, both out of Philadelphia, suggest perhaps it really is always sunny over there. FUNZONE mainstays Honey Maid and Katie Murray will support them. If you’re looking for rowdy, hell-raising, countrified rock, then consider seeing the Chase Walker Band at Blind Tiger on Friday, July 24. This band of three teens has got the world buzzing with their bluesy bravado, with their debut Unleashed earning a Best Debut 2015 award from German music site Wasser-Prawda. Even Kenny Loggins has said of them, “They blew me away.” On a Friday night stacked with good shows, if you like your rock n classic, then these boys will be the best bet.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of july 23 ARIES
CANCER
LIBRA
CAPRICORN
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The Latin motto “Carpe diem” shouldn’t be translated as “Seize the day!”, says author Nicholson Baker. It’s not a battle cry exhorting you to “freaking grab the day in your fist like a burger at a fairground and take a big chomping bite out of it.” The proper translation, according to Baker, is “Pluck the day.” In other words,“you should gently pull on the day’s stem, as if it were a wildflower, holding it with all the practiced care of your thumb and the side of your finger, which knows how to not crush easily crushed things — so that the day’s stem undergoes increasing tension and draws to a tightness, and then snaps softly away at its weakest point, and the flower is released in your hand.” Keep that in mind, Aries. I understand you are often tempted to seize rather than pluck, but these days plucking is the preferable approach.
(June 21-July 22): Charles Darwin is best known for his book The Origin of Species, which contains his seminal ideas about evolutionary biology. But while he was still alive, his best-seller was The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms. The painstaking result of over 40 years’ worth of research, it is a tribute to the noble earthworm and that creature’s crucial role in the health of soil and plants. It provides a different angle on one of Darwin’s central concerns: how small, incremental transformations that take place over extended periods of time can have monumental effects. This also happens to be one of your key themes in the coming months.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Actress and musician Carrie Brownstein was born with five planets in Libra. Those who aren’t conversant with astrology’s mysteries may conclude that she is a connoisseur of elegance and harmony. Even professional stargazers who know how tricky it is to make generalizations might speculate that she is skilled at cultivating balance, attuned to the needs of others, excited by beauty, and adaptive to life’s ceaseless change. So what are we to make of the fact that Brownstein has said, “I really don’t know what to do when my life is not chaotic”? Here’s what I suspect: In her ongoing exertions to thrive on chaos, she is learning how to be a connoisseur of elegance and harmony as she masters the intricacies of being balanced, sensitive to others, thrilled by beauty, and adaptive to change. This is important for you to hear about right now.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A philanthropist offered $100,000 to the Girl Scouts chapter of Western Washington. But there were strings attached. The donor specified that the money couldn’t be used to support transgender girls. The Girl Scouts rejected the gift, declaring their intention to empower every girl “regardless of her gender identity, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.” Do you have that much spunk, Capricorn? Would you turn down aid that would infringe on your integrity? You may be tested soon. Here’s what I suspect: If you are faithful to your deepest values, even if that has a cost, you will ultimately attract an equal blessing that doesn’t require you to sell out. (P.S. The Girl Scouts subsequently launched an Indiegogo campaign that raised more than $300,000.)
LEO
(Apr. 20-May 20): When I talk about “The Greatest Story Never Told,” I’m not referring to the documentary film about singer Lana Del Rey or the debut album of the rap artist Saigon or any other cultural artifact. I am, instead, referring to a part of your past that you have never owned and understood … a phase from the old days that you have partially suppressed … an intense set of memories you have not fully integrated. I say it’s time for you to deal with this shadow. You’re finally ready to acknowledge it and treasure it as a crucial thread in the drama of your hero’s journey.
(July 23-Aug. 22): A researcher at the University of Amsterdam developed software to read the emotions on faces. He used it to analyze the expression of the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s famous painting, the Mona Lisa. The results suggest that she is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. Whether or not this assessment is accurate, I appreciate its implication that we humans are rarely filled with a single pure emotion. We often feel a variety of states simultaneously. In this spirit, I have calculated your probably mix for the coming days: 16 percent relieved, 18 percent innocent, 12 percent confused, 22 percent liberated, 23 percent ambitious, and 9 percent impatient.
GEMINI
VIRGO
SAGITTARIUS
(May 21-June 20): The ancient Greek philosopher Thales is credited as being one of the earliest mathematicians and scientists. He was a deep thinker whose thirst for knowledge was hard to quench. Funny story: Once he went out at night for a walk. Gazing intently up at the sky, he contemplated the mysteries of the stars. Oops! He didn’t watch where he was going and fell down into a well. He was okay, but embarrassed. Let’s make him your anti-role model, Gemini. I would love to encourage you to unleash your lust to be informed, educated, and inspired — but only if you watch where you’re going.
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “What makes you heroic?” asked philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Here’s how he answered himself: “simultaneously going out to meet your highest suffering and your highest hope.” This is an excellent way to sum up the test that would inspire you most in the coming weeks, Virgo. Are you up for the challenge? If so, grapple with your deepest pain. Make a fierce effort to both heal it and be motivated by it. At the same time, identify your brightest hope and take a decisive step toward fulfilling it.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m a big fan of the attitude summed up by the command “Be here now!” The world would be more like a sanctuary and less like a battleground if people focused more on the present moment rather than on memories of the past and fantasies of the future. But in accordance with the astrological omens, you are hereby granted a temporary exemption from the “Be here how!” approach. You have a poetic license to dream and scheme profusely about what you want your life to be like in the future. Your word of power is tomorrow.
TAURUS
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider the possibility of opening your mind, at least briefly, to provocative influences you have closed yourself off from. You may need to refamiliarize yourself with potential resources you have been resisting or ignoring, even if they are problematic. I’m not saying you should blithely welcome them in. There still may be good reasons to keep your distance. But I think it would be wise and healthy for you to update your relationship with them.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re entering a volatile phase of your cycle. In the coming weeks, you could become a beguiling monster who leaves a confusing mess in your wake. On the other hand, you could activate the full potential of your animal intelligence as you make everything you touch more interesting and soulful. I am, of course, rooting for the latter outcome. Here’s a secret about how to ensure it: Be as ambitious to gain power over your own darkness as you are to gain power over what happens on your turf.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Over 10,000 species of mushrooms grow in North America. About 125 of those, or 1.25 percent, are tasty and safe to eat. All the others are unappetizing or poisonous, or else their edibility is in question. By my reckoning, a similar statistical breakdown should apply to the influences that are floating your way. I advise you to focus intently on those very few that you know for a fact are pleasurable and vitalizing. Make yourself unavailable for the rest.

H
ad Ant-Man been a Marvel superhero version of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids with visual wit and a healthy sense of microcosmic wonder, it would have been a great movie. If it had been a bittersweet examination of father-daughter relationships in a contemporary comic-book context paralleling Michael Douglas as outcast genius with seemingly diffident daughter played by Evangeline (Lost, The Hobbit) Lilly in contrast to Paul Rudd as a cat-burglar jailbird with a worshipful little daughter, this might have been a pretty good movie. If it had been a Marvel origin story wound up in the warp and woof of Captain America and The Avengers, it might have been a boring film. Problem is, it’s all of the above. And the mixture of these strands isn’t graceful or mutually enriching. It feels more like someone restlessly turning channels on a television set, jumping between similar stories. Fanboys will grouse about how the Ant-Man story changed from comic to script (though their biggest legitimate complaint is all the fuss applied to proving that woman can be strong, too. Comic fans already know that, America). The emotional discussions here are stiffer than cardboard. There are psychedelic moments, but the best parts feature Rudd as Ant-Man running into

trouble on a disco dance floor, on a spinning LP, and up against Thomas the Train. Little things do count. This seemed a lively prospect to follow up Guardians of the Galaxy, a film also based on an obscure comic book mixing special-effects marvels with a brilliant sense of humor. Marvel originally picked Edgar (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim) Wright to helm Ant-Man, but a falling-out left behind a film doomed to hodgepodge — multiple writers and a director whose earlier credits aren’t stellar. What should have been fun ended up overinflated with too much awkward Disney moralizing. Ant-Man’s miniscule mission first got expanded, and then it shrunk. n
BeAring Witness
Cartel Land. Dr. José Mireles and Tim “Nailer” Foley star in a documentary directed by Matthew Heineman. Reviewed by Richie DeMaria
i
t may seem implicit, but when watching Matthew Heineman’s Cartel Land, a documentary about the Mexican drug wars, words like “cinematic” and “filmic” come to mind. Filled with death-defying recordings courtesy of Heineman, who is the cameratoting eyewitness to street shoot-outs, border patrolling, and deep-night meth productions, the beautifully shot Cartel Land looks and unfolds like a fictional narrative film. There are Hollywood-like scenes of sweeping southwestern vistas, of heroic grandstanding from anti-cartel leaders, and of weapon-wielding villagers wrangling baddies and intimidating the military police out of their town. But whereas the subjects and their actions may seem larger than life (especially the charismatic doctor and Autodefensas leader Dr. José Mireles), the action within is very, bleakly real. We see the severed heads of drug war victims and bear witness to their distraught and desperate grieving families. Heineman withholds from moralizing or attempting to pick sides in this war, choosing wisely to instead let the viewer judge. There is no pure heroism or justice on this wide and ambiguous battlefield, only double-edges and deceits. Though Mireles seems like a savior, he loses control of his anti-cartel Autodefensas, which begins to mimic the terrorizing tactics of the drug lords. Then there’s Tim “Nailer” Foley, a somewhat tangential Arizonan
NARCO-VISION: Cartel Land, which documents the drug war in Mexico, is full of larger-than-life subjects and action.
vigilante who stands on the narrative sidelines, spouting anti-immigrant fantasies and coming off as more of a trigger-happy threat to his community than a protector. And the Mexican meth makers, hidden behind masks and smoke clouds in the desert, are the first to admit the harm caused by their production, but being steeped in poverty, they say, they have no other choice of livelihood. Cartel Land effectivelyportrays the many ambivalences of the drug war. The violence is unpredictable and contagious, the heroes are corrupted by government handshakes or twisted motives, and the innocent are caught in the unending cross fire. Unlike a Hollywood movie, things are not conveniently tied up by the film’s end. We finish where we began, in the dark of the desert alongside meth cookery. The drug war monster hasn’t been tamed, only regrown with new heads, and the suffering, it seems, will continue for many years to come. n independent.com

Father Lozano (Michael Peña) must wage a battle of good versus evil to rid a young woman of an ancient satanic possession. Metro 4
NOW SHOWING O Amy
(128 mins.; R: language and drug
material)
Many creative souls will find a kindred spirit in Amy Winehouse, the focus of Asif Kapadia’s new documentary. Beneath the shine and scrutiny of camera flashes was a humble North London girl who made music to channel and combat a wellspring of inner darkness. In its tender and tragic tone, Amy works because when she falls, we feel it, too. (RD) Paseo Nuevo I’ll See You in My Dreams (92 mins.; PG-13: sexual material, drug use, and brief strong language)
This comedy-drama tells the story of a widow (Blythe Danner) who begins her life anew. Costars include June Squibb, Rhea Perlman, Mary Kay Place, Sam Elliott, and Malin Akerman. Riviera
O Inside Out (94 mins.; PG: mild thematic elements and some action) This film’s inner journey is a blast, especially the map of consciousness provided: A train of thought takes viewers from long-term memories, through the Unconscious, and down to a scary pit where memories go to die. We believe a silly premise and feel the war between regrets and happy days raging in a world of animated change. (DJP) Camino Real (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)
Jurassic World (124 mins.; PG-13: intense sequences of science-fiction violence and peril) Forget the giant box-office take and noisy buzz — there are plenty of thrills but no quantum leap in either the fearfactor or special-effects departments. In the end, there is running, munching, and artillery, and T. rex gets some awesome roar time. It isn’t brilliant. It’s vintage. (DJP) Camino Real (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D) Magic Mike XXL (115 mins.; R: strong sexual content, pervasive language, some nudity, and drug use)
In Magic Mike XXL, the characters are given more depth and are more demon-
strative of their emotional sides, but the sequel misses much of the vivifying energy of the original, with only a handful of major dance numbers to perk up the thin plot. But rejoin the boys if you’d like to share a goofy and lighthearted road trip with them. (RD) Fiesta 5

Minions (91 mins.; PG: action and rude humor)
Basically a prequel, the movie gains momentum at the end but never measures up to a fun ride. (DJP)
Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)
Mr. Holmes (104 mins.; PG: thematic elements, some disturbing images, and incidental smoking)
The year is 1947, and legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen) comes out of retirement to try and solve a 50-year-old cold case. Plaza de Oro
O Spy
(120 mins.; R: language throughout, violence, some sexual content including brief graphic nudity)
Spy is the newest comedy for Melissa McCarthy to shine. It’s an outrageous ride filled with great characters, goofy gore, and more twists than any windy rue de Paris. If laughs are your mission, then see the hilarious and energizing Spy and consider the mission accomplished. (RD) Paseo Nuevo Terminator Genisys (125 mins.; PG-13: intense sequences of sci-fi violence and gunplay throughout, partial nudity, and brief strong language)
Besides trotting out the old “I’ll be back” and “Come with me if you want to live” chestnuts, this film’s talk-y, explain-y, and boring-y chatter is so bad I wanted not to live though the first 10 minutes. If you watch this film in 3D with your ears plugged, it’s okay summer fare. (DJP)

I’m Ready to Write About
Real Estate I grew up in san Diego County,
6 independent real estate July 23, 2015
first in two neighborhoods of Clairemont and then in Solana Beach when I started high school. All three of our houses were tract homes, built in the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s, respectively. Each tract had a name, as did, of course, our streets, so in high school, I lived on Sun Valley Road, in Santa Fe Hills, in Solana Beach. Our house was on a corner lot bordered by two golf courses, and in the evenings, my dad and I would walk our dogs through the neighborhood. Santa Fe Hills was built in phases, so we’d walk from one phase to another, each in progressive stages of maturity. Our street was completely landscaped, every house occupied with families who had been there a couple of years. Then we’d reach streets in the next phase — some houses were occupied, some weren’t, the yards spotted with fledgling bushes and plants, trying to look established. A few blocks later, model homes were furnished and pristine, but everything else was empty and expectant, waiting to be claimed by their first owners. Because there were a finite number of floor
by Sarah Sinclair
plans in Santa Fe Hills, you could tell at a glance if a particular house was the threebedroom with the atrium entryway, like our neighbors’, or the four-bedroom with two bedrooms on each side, like ours. We’d peek into each house as we passed, gauging the progress of the construction or assessing the decorating decisions of families who just moved in. Dusk was prime time, for lights were turned on but not all curtains drawn. Especially along the edge of the golf course, we’d see living rooms with their lamps glowing and families sitting down to dinner. One December evening, we saw two different families decorating their Christmas trees. Seeing behind the façade of the homes in our neighborhood to glimpse the lifestyles of the people within was a game to pass the time as my father and I walked our dogs. But I’m still driven by that curiosity: to see inside homes how they flow, and how the people who live there make themselves comfortable in their most intimate surroundings. Having lived in Santa Barbara for more than 30 years, I’m told that I can now call myself a local. I’ve lived downtown, on the
Mesa, on the Westside, and on the Riviera, and had the requisite multiple addresses in Isla Vista during my Gaucho years. I’ve been a renter, a homeowner, a buyer, and a seller. I’ve loved every neighborhood that I’ve lived in and the many more that I’ve visited. In the same way that I imagine living in every city and country that I visit, I love imagining living in a cottage on the beach in Carpinteria or on a ranch on the rolling hills overlooking Los Alamos. The Santa Barbara Independent is distributed every Thursday, from that beach in Carpinteria to those rolling hills of Los Alamos. In this column, I plan to take a look at these homes, from modest to mansions, that we find in those towns and all of the neighbor-
hoods in between. Some of the houses will be for sale, and some might not. I’m not a realtor, and I’m not in the market to buy or sell right now, but I still like to peek behind front doors every chance I get and imagine myself throwing a party, reading a book, cooking with friends, or just admiring the view. So I invite you to come on in with me each week, take a look around, and make n yourself at home.

Make Myself at Home
Address: 814 E. Pedregosa St. Status: On the market Price: $1.85 million
W
alking down the steep hill toward
the open house on East Pedregosa Street, my thoughts bounce with each careful step, from “Wow, it’s a good thing I’m not wearing high heels” to “What a workout — I would be in such good shape if I lived here.” Tucked right below Orpet Park and adjacent to one of the Riviera neighborhood’s secret staircases, the vertical approach to this home and its semi-hidden location appeal to my sense of adventure. Ever an optimist, adventure almost always trumps caution, especially when I’m playing the game of imagining myself living in somebody else’s home. My quadriceps quiet as I approach the house itself. Behind an arched red doorway lies a twisting, turning storybook of a home — not just one house, but a collection of stairs, quaint rooms, and alcoves that make up a triplex of livable units. The living room of the main house invites me in past the succulent-studded fireplace to the picture win-
by Sarah Sinclair dow with a view to get lost in for hours and days. I can imagine sitting with my cup of tea and crossword puzzle, musing about the goings-on of the people in all of downtown spread out below, beyond, and all the way to the ocean. I can’t help feeling somehow proprietary of all of the stories contained in my view. Built in 1912 as a rooming house for the Santa Barbara State Normal School of Manual Arts on the Riviera, a predecessor of UCSB, this house flows comfortably from one level to another without the stilted, chopped feeling of some multi-unit complexes. This house is happy. I can easily envision several people or couples contentedly cohabitating, making the most of the charming outdoor patios to extend their living spaces. The backyard of the main house is a secret garden of its own, with feathery pampas grass and natural rock-lined paths. I’m reminded of the home’s history in the angles, details, and built-ins everywhere I look. This is a home for friends to share stories, to make new memories, and to absorb and enjoy the history and tales of the house itself. I don’t even notice my legs as I walk to my car and drive back down into town, my head full of visions and stories of my own.
814 East Pedregosa is currently for sale in Santa Barbara, represented by Dan Crawford of Village Properties Realtors. Reach Dan at 886-5764.

his residence was built for Mattie More Storke, the daughter of wealthy cattleman T. Wallace More and wife of teacher, attorney, and politician Charles A. Storke. (Their marriage ended in divorce, and he was excommunicated from the Catholic Church for it.) It’s likely Santa Barbara NewsPress publisher Thomas Storke spent a great deal of his young life here. The home, which is a nod to the Queen Anne style, features 36 rooms and more than 6,000 square feet of living space. The patterned shingles and decorative work on the gables are quite interesting, as is the elaborate scrollwork on the hoods above the windows. There is a stained-glass window hidden by the porch. El Descanso, as it is known, was meticulously restored by Viscountess Escania Cobian more than a decade ago.

Five SignS oF a good gardener 1) “Saber plantar plantas. Si no sabes, se mueren las p&%$# plantas.” To know how to plant plants. If you don’t know, the f%$#@ plants die. 2) “Saber como cortar sacate.” To know how to mow the lawn. There are three common patterns: straight, diagonal, and crosshatch. A good gardener knows all three. 3) “Saber a fertilizar.” To know how to fertilize plants and grass. Organic fertilizer is slower, but it lasts longer. After you water it, the smell goes away after a couple of days.

The wrong spray and overdosing can burn and harm the plants. 5) “Saber a podar.” To know how to trim hedges, roses, and bushes, and remove weeds. A skilled gardener knows how to trim a straight, rectangular, round, and an arc-form edge.

Keep plastic Bottles for Rinsing Near Sink W
e keep two large plastic bottles — in our case, those widemouthed nut containers from Costco — beside a steel basin in the sink. Before we place cups in the dishwasher, the water we swish around to rinse them goes in the big bottle, and the basin catches the rest. When they get full, we empty them out on the wisteria or the grapevine — large plants that need as much water as we can spare them. —John Ridland
