Brilliant and versatile, Jackson Cocciolone (right) swept both the Teen Star judges and audience onto their feet for the first time in the event’s seven years. Amazingly, the San Marcos junior’s renditions of Elmore James’s “The Sky Is Crying” and Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma” weren’t the only win for his family Saturday night. The Indy’s own Jeff Miller, Jackson’s stepfather, won a random drawing to step onstage for a Quick Pick 30-second a cappella contest. Jeff, who writes our Out West and House Hunter columns, busted out “The Santa Barbara Blues,” a lament about the pain of writing blues songs while living in paradise. He killed it. And won.

TOUGH ROW: Santa Maria field workers harvest celery.

Farmworkers Fight for rights

by K e l s e y B r u g g e r

griculture industry representatives are pushing back against a report that highlights horrid working conditions for Santa Barbara County farmworkers. Last month, advocates with Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) convened press conferences in Santa Maria and Ventura, calling for supervisors in both counties to adopt a Farmworker Bill of Rights by César Chávez Day, March 31. CAUSE’s report comes at a time of an estimated 25 percent labor shortage in North County. But tenuous immigration status coupled with low wages and long work hours create conditions ripe for exploitation, disempowerment, and abuse, CAUSE argued. Of the estimated 17,000 farmworkers in North County, 72 percent, they say, are not U.S. citizens. The organization focuses on wage theft, which includes being underpaid, working during a break, or unpaid responsibilities before or after work. For starters, farmworkers do not receive overtime unless they work 10 hours in a day — or 60 hours in a week — rather than the standard eight-hour day and 40-hour workweek. This fact, CAUSE argues, is left over from the Jim Crow South. (A few years ago, state legislation to remedy this discrepancy lost by just two votes in the Assembly.) For the study, CAUSE conducted door-todoor interviews with 300 North County farmworkers. (They copied the process in Ventura.) They used the results of their oral interviews — ranging from five to 20 minutes — to create charts generalizing statistics countywide. CAUSE found a third of its respondents suf suffered from wage theft. The report quotes a worker who claimed his paycheck was short, but he feared losing his job if he spoke up. In addition, 42 percent of respondents said they never took time off; 25 percent had 8

been injured at work; 75 percent received no benefits or compensation and continued working after being injured; 14 percent said their boss has threatened them. Just 3.7 percent filed a complaint against their employer. The respondents worked for more than 100 different employers, according to research staffer Lucas Zucker. CAUSE declined to release the names of the farms with the worst working conditions. Some workers, he said, had “a lot to say”; others were terrified to speak. Their identities were kept anonymous. As proposed, the bill of rights would implement job protection for pregnant women on unpaid maternity leave; require shade, water, and bathroom areas; hire a county investigator to enforce state laws; create an anonymous-tip hotline; institute a $5,000 penalty for retaliation against any workers who file complaints; and add a crimevictim-advocate position to the District Attorney’s Office to focus on sexual assault, among other things. But the county’s Agriculture Advisory Committee — supervisor appointees and farm industry reps—questioned the statistical significance of the report and contended it did not accurately depict the workforce. In fact, in a letter sent to the county supervisors this week, the committee put “report” in quotation marks. It pointed to existing legal protections such as Cal/OSHA and the state’s Labor Commissioner as effective without the need of “new and duplicative mechanisms.” The committee called the report’s methodology flawed and alleged CAUSE previously declined to disclose survey questions. independent.com

LAW & DISORDER

Two separate stabbings took place within 24 hours in Santa Barbara. A man was stabbed in the back near an apartment complex on the 800 block of Cliff Drive around 4:22 a.m. on 2/28 after an argument reportedly escalated at a party over stolen property. At about 12:41 a.m. on 2/29, a male suspect reportedly pulled a knife during a fight and began “slash[ing]” two victims in and out of upper State Street’s Tiburon Tavern and Uptown Lounge; both victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Suspects in both incidents fled the scene and remain at large.

Santa Barbara County settled an excessiveforce lawsuit filed by Charles Owens, a former jail inmate convicted on rape and murder charges, for $60,000. Owens alleged he’d been taken down and beaten by jail custodial officers Christopher Johnson and Robert Kirsch on June 17, 2013. In the same settlement, the county agreed to pay Kirsch $27,000 and Johnson $25,000 after the former deputies argued they should have been defended by the county government rather than independent counsel.

County Ag Committee Questions Report on Poor Working Conditions

news briefs

CAUSE director Hazel Davalos

CAUSE sent The Santa Barbara Independent the list of 20 questions used in the interviews. Most are straightforward:“Do you work in one place the whole year or follow the crops?” “Do you get breaks at work?” “Do you have access to potable water?” Others are more subjective: “Do you believe your work conditions are dangerous or harmful to your health?”“Do you feel confident asking for time off?” Last month, the already tense matter worsened after CAUSE Executive Director Maricela Morales failed to attend an Advisory Committee meeting to discuss the report. Shortly after, Morales apologized and explained to the members via email that she had marked the incorrect date on her calendar and asked to reschedule in April. But some committee members believe the absence seriously weakened their campaign. In an interview, Sharyne Merritt, who is the Agriculture Advisory Committee chair, stressed the letter was only in response to the report — not the recommendations in cont’d page 10 

Hollywood actor and Montecito resident Rob Lowe (pictured) won a protracted battle with the California Board of Equalization over how much he should be taxed for the proceeds of a Montecito house on Garden Lane he bought for $2.8 million in 1997 and sold for $25 million in 2005. Lowe and his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, argued they spent far more transforming a one-story teardown into a deluxe two-story pinup for Architectural Digest than their own financial records could substantiate. “The gap between the rich and the poor just got wider,” blistered boardmember Jerome Horton in a press release castigating the board majority for making the Lowes a “gift” of $514,000 courtesy of California taxpayers. The Lowes shot back, accusing Horton of making antiSemitic remarks in a private ex parte meeting. Horton did not respond for comment by deadline, nor did Lowe’s tax attorney, who was present at the meeting. A Superior Court judge declined bail for Daniel Chen, the 21-year-old former UCSB student charged with participating in a violent gang rape on the edge of the university campus in 2014. Defense attorney Adam Pearlman argued Chen should be eligible for $1.25 million bail because his client is not a flight risk and has not committed a violent offense in the two years since the alleged crime. But prosecutor Ben Ladinig, who presented the judge with seven photos of the battered victim, argued Chen is a threat to public safety.

Channels of Communication

A recent editorial published in Santa Barbara City College’s student-run newspaper, The Channels, accuses the college of a pattern of “evasive tactics and secrecy” in its response to reporters attempting to cover hard news on campus. “Our efforts have … been met with roadblocks, forcing student reporters to take painstaking and unnecessary measures to report stories that should have been simple,” states the February 26 commentary, written by Editor in Chief Megan Randolph, 20, with input from her editorial board. Specifically, Randolph details hurdles and delays student reporters faced while covering the on-campus death of an employee on January 28, an unspecified schoolrelated threat made anonymously in an online chat room on February 16, and information on the identity of a SBCC football player arrested on rape charges last summer. “We want to establish a better channel of communication [with the college],” Randolph said in an interview. “The Channels has some of the most informed students on campus. We are a viable news source and deserve more respect.” The editorial — which was also critical of SBCC spending $35,550 on an “image consultant to improve its relationship with Santa Barbara residents” — received an immediate email response from Luz Reyes-Martin, who has served as SBCC’s public information officer since January. “We are in a period of transition and I would really like to work with you to identify areas to strengthen our partnership,” Reyes-Martin wrote to Randolph. Reyes-Martin also wrote a letter to The Channels clarifying that the college “did not and should not release any information that has not been confirmed by law enforcement.

The District Attorney’s Office lawsuit against diatomaceous-earth mining company Imerys Minerals California, Inc., ended on 2/29 with, among other requirements, the company agreeing to pay $350,000 to the DA’s Environmental Protection Unit, the state’s Fish and Wildlife department, and the State Water Resource Control Board. The DA’s Office charged that Imerys’ facility one mile south of Lompoc had twice been “responsible for the leak of approximately 202,000 gallons of non-toxic, non-hazardous, but potentially harmful mining slurry into the San Miguelito Creek” in 2014.

CITY Two Anacapa School students, former school boardmember and longtime community activist Lanny Ebenstein, and a neighborhood resident asked the Santa Barbara City Council to reconsider its 5-2 vote last week to support east-west bike lanes along Micheltorena Street from Castillo to State Street. They cited the adverse impact the loss of 100 parking spaces would have on the neighborhood and recommended Sola Street as a better alternative. The council is scheduled to revisit the matter on March 15.

COUNTY Two days after Office of Emergency Management director Ryan Rockabrand left office, the Auditor-Controller’s Office publicized its months-long study detailing numerous deficiencies with the department’s billing process. Prompted by accusations from former employees, the internal audit found “small to medium inaccuracies” in reimbursement of federal and state grant monies, Auditor-Controller Bob Geis said. The Homeland Security Grant Program, Emergency Management Performance Grant, Nuclear Power Plant Program, and oil and gas permits were included in the audit.

EDUCATION Per a February federal court order, private information on some 10 million students

will be released by the California State Department of Education to the plaintiffs in an ongoing legal battle over disabled students’ educational rights. The order encompasses student information dating back to January 1, 2008, and will be available only to the plaintiffs and associated legal teams. Parents or legal guardians who do not want their students’ information released can submit a written objection online at the department’s website. A lightly attended town hall meeting Tuesday night at La Cumbre Junior High School called on parents and teachers to spell out what they’d expect from an incoming Santa Barbara Unified School District superintendent as David Cash retires this June. Among other attributes, speakers expect a leader who values the student body’s broad cultural and language backgrounds while tackling challenges associated with special education and teacher morale. Taking notes and encouraging the community to fill out a survey at the district’s website, representatives with HYA Executive Search will close the application window on April 15 and present top contenders to school boardmembers for an early June hire.

ENVIRONMENT Rep. Lois Capps expressed guarded support for a new bill reauthorizing the Pipeline Safety Act, calling it “not perfect,” but a “starting point.” Capps’s spokesperson CJ Young said she will push for “more robust” inspection requirements as the bill wends its way through the House Energy and Commerce Committee on which Capps sits. Now in her last year in office, Capps — inspired by last May’s Plains All American Pipeline spill along the Gaviota Coast — has said she will fight for more stringent safety standards on pipelines carrying crude oil. This Tuesday’s hearing — attended by the head of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and four other expert witnesses — marked the opening salvo in this effort. n

Miller McCune Wins Lifetime Achievement Award

“

by B r a n d o n Fa s t m a n

hen I started Sage Publications in 1965,” said Sara Miller McCune during an interview at her home earlier this week, “I’m not even sure that ‘female’ and ‘entrepreneur’ were used in the same sentence.” Fifty-one years later, her business is a global academic publishing empire, and her successes have been well recognized with honorary degrees and awards of all shapes and sizes. Coming next in the procession of plaudits for the businessperson and philanthropist is the Rock Star: Lifetime Achievement Award from the Spirit of Entrepreneurship Foundation. When selecting a recipient who would provide a role model for women entrepreneurs and budding go-getters of any gender, foundation CEO Cathy Feldman said Miller McCune was the “logical choice.”“When you consider that she started a publishing company by herself 50 years ago and that it has grown to be an international powerhouse, it is truly remarkable,” said Feldman.“Additionally, she has been incredibly generous to the Santa Barbara community.” In fact, Miller McCune might be more well-known in Santa Barbara for her philanthropic activity than her business chops. “When I moved here,” she said, “I had spent two years both dealing with the grieving process for my husband’s death and also deciding that it was time I reinvented myself somehow.” After briefly considering a political career, she decided that her foundation would provide a better vehicle for social progress. In 1966, however, when she was nursing a fledgling business, she recalls her banker telling her that “the real money is in pornography publishing,” not textbooks. Armed with a degree in political science, however, and four years of marketing experience at publishing houses Macmillan and Pergamon Press, Miller McCune realized that nobody knew how to sell books written by scholars in the relatively young social and behavioral science disciplines.“I became the direct mail queen of social science publishing,” she said. “And then,” Miller McCune continued, “I became the title queen of SAGE Publications because all of our authors had these long, boring titles for their manuscripts.” Case in point independent.com

is the Dutch scholar Geert Hofstede’s classic text on organizational psychology, Culture’s Consequences: International Differences in Work-Related Values. She convinced him that his original title should be the subtitle, and when he couldn’t think of what to put before the colon, she said, “Never mind; I’ll handle that.” The book became a best seller. If Miller McCune has reinvented herself, her motivations have largely remained the same. “I’m just sick of people not taking advantage of the knowledge that researchers provide to them that could help solve pressing social issues.” To further close the circuit between the ivory tower and the larger public, she founded a highbrow magazine in 2008, now called Pacific Standard, whose mission is to communicate social and behavioral research to policymakers, educators, business leaders, and other change makers. The magazine is supported by SAGE Publications and housed within the McCune Foundation. One can’t be a whole person without significant exposure to both nature and the arts, Miller McCune avows. In this sense, Santa Barbara may provide a happy medium between her native New York and her vacation home in Yosemite. The American Riviera offers an amount of cultural opportunities that Miller McCune said have kept her “constantly amazed.” She’s also been responsible for many of those opportunities by donating to or sitting on the boards of organizations like CAMA, UCSB Arts & Lectures, and the Granada Theatre. The performing arts have played no small part in her business success, Miller McCune continued. “They have helped make me who I am [and given me] the personal richness and depth of understanding and humility to understand a lot more nuance. If you don’t understand body language, you’re handicapped as a businessperson. If you don’t understand reading people’s facial expressions and tone of voice, you are handicapped as a businessperson.” Other advice she would give to young female entrepreneurs: “With equality comes responsibility. If you want opportunity, responsibility, a chance to really shine, succeed in the eyes of yourself, your family, your peers, then you have to be willing to pay a price.” n marcH 3, 2016

don’t tread on my rV

RV owners packed last week’s Goleta Planning Commission meeting to protest a proposed ordinance that would have banned them from parking their expansive land craft in their front yards. The ordinance, aesthetically inspired, would have required RV owners to park their vehicles in side yards and backyards but not anywhere visible from the street. The Planning Commission took no action but instructed staff to revise the ordinance with the public comments in mind. Goleta spokesperson Valerie Kushnerov explained that the proposed ban emerged out of stakeholder meetings conducted two years ago by a private consultant hired to help the City of Goleta craft its own zoning ordinance. Goleta has been using the zoning ordinance it inherited from the County of Santa Barbara since its incorporation in 2002. The consultants, said Kushnerov, picked up on the anti-RV sentiment in some of the stakeholder meetings. That concern, she stated, was largely addressed when the Goleta City Council passed an ordinance last year requiring special permits for any RVs parked on city streets. Those permits are free of charge, but without them, streets are off-limits for any RV. The proposed ordinance was also the hot topic at a community workshop held this past weekend to discuss the new zoning ordinance. The issue of RVs has a history of exciting Goleta’s funny bone. When a small community church sought permission to allow a very limited number of RVs and homeless people in cars to park overnight in its lot, the matter went twice to the City Council, first for approval and then on appeal. The council ultimately voted in favor of the RV parking plan but only on the condition that the program organizers —Nick Welsh conduct background checks on the individuals parking.

republican Basket Case

This week, the National Republican Congressional Committee sent Supervisor Salud Carbajal a basket filled with Personal Finance for Dummies, a calculator, and IRS forms after news broke that the congressional frontrunner has tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt and past federal tax liens. The jab came days after Carbajal secured the state Democratic Party endorsement, another big step ahead of his chief Democratic rival, Helene Schneider. While the support gives Carbajal access to the party’s resources (phone banks, precinct walks, mailers), the attention around his personal finance issues will undoubtedly give Republicans ammunition. “It shows how out of touch they are,” Carbajal said in an email about the basket. It’s “outrageous that the Republican Party would trivialize and attempt to make a joke out of the struggles middle-class families are facing” after the recession, he added. He further emphasized that the Board of Supervisors achieved the highest historical rainy-day reserve and successfully balanced the budget during his 12-year tenure. Likewise, Schneider has used her defeat in the state party endorsement as evidence she is the anti-establishment candidate. “What matters to the voters,” she said in an email, “is that they have a representative that understands and speaks up on the issues of the Central Coast — I am that candidate.” Meanwhile, the GOP Central Committee held a special endorsement meeting at Pea Soup Andersen’s on Sunday. On Saturday, Supervisor Peter Adam — a big Justin Fareed supporter — sent an email to all of the committee members urging them not to back just one candidate in the primaries and consequently “drive a wedge in between Santa Barbara Republicans.” But Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian won the endorsement over Fareed and Matt Kokkonen — reportedly by a vote of 15 out — Kelsey Brugger of 21.

In the letter, the committee said it “welcome[s] the opportunity to discuss this important matter and address any credible issues.” Other critics dismissed the Bill of Rights as a hurried media show without first engaging growers privately. CAUSE director Hazel Davalos stressed it is crucial the county supervisors place the Farmworker Bill of Rights on their agenda before the June budget hearings. “These issues have gone on long enough,” she said. “We shouldn’t even need to make a report to prove it.” Supervisor Peter Adam, who co-owns Adam Brothers Family Farms and employs as many as 400 farmworkers, insisted com10

He contended poor working conditions could exist at what he likes to call “snowglobe farm[s],” or smaller hobbyist farms. Supervisor Salud Carbajal, who has been endorsed by CAUSE in his bid to represent the 24th Congressional District, said he will facilitate a meeting this month between CAUSE and ag industry representatives. Last fall, Carbajal and Supervisor Doreen Farr attended a meeting with 150 farmworkers who spoke about terrible conditions. Davalos expressed hopefulness that the matter would go before both the Ag Advisory Committee and the Board of Supervisors; it does not matter which comes first, n she added.

We can’t lose steam.”

This winter, the weekend party scene on Del Playa and Sabado Tarde Road turned rowdy again, as reports came in of drunken brawls, bottle throwing, alcohol overdoses, injuries, property damage, and ambulances blocked by street crowds of 1,000 people. “Isla Vista at night has magical charm, but it can also feel like a beautiful nightmare,” said Bryan Lares, a resident and UCSB senior, drawing an analogy to the story of Pinocchio, a good boy who is lured into trouble by wicked “friends.”“I’m actually scared if I’m walking home alone. I don’t want to get jumped.” Peter Neushul of Isla Vista, the landlord for the party house at 6610 Del Playa Drive, said that on the advice of the Foot Patrol, he changed the lease to prohibit deejays, loud bands, and more than 70 guests. “Personally, I think any UCSB or SBCC student arrested and convicted of a crime in I.V. needs to take a forced leave of absence,” Neushul said.“If I.V. remains a Wild West zone, people are going to continue getting hurt, and the university’s reputation will suffer.” Reports submitted in response to a public records request show that UCSB expelled only one student and City College expelled none during the two school years from September 2013-June 2015. During the 2014-15 school year, 27 UCSB students and 10 City College students were suspended, up from 20 and six, respectively, the year before. In all, UCSB reported 170 “non-academic conduct code” violations, including 41 for hazing, in 2014-15, up from 109 violations the previous year. Sanctions included disciplinary probation, written reprimands, and loss of privileges. Most frequently, offenders were referred to drug and alcohol programs. City College administrators reported holding 277 meetings with students who were cited or arrested on the South Coast, including Isla Vista, during the past two years. They sent out 162 letters to students and their parents regarding underage drinking. “I don’t see a lot of repeat offenders,” said Ben Partee, a City College dean who said he’s visited Isla Vista dozens of times in recent years in response to complaints. “I think students are starting to understand that this office takes action, and there are certain standards we expect of them.” Yes, things are changing, Soutar said— said but for how long? “The collective memory is so short,” she said. “It’s such a transient community that I worry that people who will be there will forget how frightening it was with the Deltopia riot and the murders. Everybody was shaken.” Pau l wel lm an Photos

the anti-trumps The Donald’s Ranting Concentrates the Minds of Democrats at Bay Area Convention

by J e r r y r o b e r t s

oe biden’s voice broke moments into his speech, to the state Democratic convention last weekend, when he mentioned his late son, Beau, a politician and military officer who died heartbreakingly of brain cancer last year. “I’ll only say this once, but … um …” the vice president faltered. Just then a protester leaped up near the front of the hall, unfurled a yellow banner, and began to shout about a conspiracy to cover up the alleged secret cause of Beau Biden’s death: cell phones. “Let him go … it’s okay; my son, Beau, would love that part,” Biden said softly, as delegates moved to quiet the outburst, with security en route. “Hey, let’s not act like Republicans. I ain’t Donald Trump.” The Veep’s soft-spoken reaction to the deliberately cruel provocation, on a personal level, was a sharp contrast to how the Republican presidential front-runner handles such demonstrators—“I’d like to punch him in the face,” Trump said of one at a recent rally. As a political matter, however, Biden’s response belied a far more passionate tone of outrage and pushback prevailing among the convention’s 3,000 delegates— aimed both at Trump and his GOP rivals for their incitements and inflammatory rhetoric against immigrants, minorities, gays, unions, and women’s rights during the bizarre Republican presidential campaign. Nearly every platform speech and conversation in the hallways of the San Jose Convention Center featured emphatic, aggressive, and sometimes fearful notes of partisan indignation about Trumpism. “Just look at the politics of poison coursing through the bloodstream in the race for the Republican nomination!” thundered Attorney General Kamala Harris, the frontrunner in the U.S. Senate contest, in the weekend’s most powerful speech. “That race has been a race to the bottom,” she said. “A race to anger. A race to blame. A race to fan the flames of nativism in our country.” There is, of course, nothing new about Democrats railing about Republicans at a party convention. A combination of special circumstances —not just Trump’s feverish appeals to rightwing fury, but also the sudden death of right-wing Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and, in its wake, the unprecedented contempt Republicans have displayed toward President Obama—seemed to push Democrats to put into perspective the routine, intraparty feuds of any pre-primary convention. Unlike the atmosphere at similar, recent party meetings, when bitter kvetching and resignation about Republican gains and antics in Congress was easily offset by con-

fidence about the party’s baked-in political domination of California, the San Jose Democrats seemed more focused on the profound implications of the looming, general election of the extraordinary 2016 campaign. “We’re California,” said Senate President Kevin de León of L.A., another Democratic rising star. “We don’t build walls; we tear them down.” best and worst: A look at some win-

ners and losers:

 Harris was the biggest winner, securing

the party’s endorsement in a surprising landslide over Rep. Loretta Sanchez of Orange County, who was thoroughly out-organized. Now, not only may the AG use the Democratic seal of approval on her campaign materials, but the party will also steer money and other resources into her campaign. More important for neutral observers: Harris threw the weekend’s best party, appropriating the city’s Tech Museum for a bash featuring three wide-open bars and two floors of dim sum and those beguiling little cupcakes that must be consumed by the half-dozen.

 Bernie Sanders supporters were more

vocal and visible all weekend, fueled by young Democrats, while Hillary Clinton backers dominated the Women’s Caucus meeting, where the establishment rules. The party doesn’t endorse in presidential primaries, but outgoing Senator Barbara Boxer and Rep. Maxine Waters, among other elders, breached protocol in the caucus to champion Hillary: “It’s great to feel the Bern, and I’ve got no problem feeling the Bern,” said Boxer,“but it’s time for us to make history and elect Hillary Clinton the president of the U.S.”

 Supervisor Salud Carbajal, to the sur-

prise of no one, captured the endorsement over Mayor Helene Schneider via the consent calendar, after earlier cleaning her clock in pre-convention party votes in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties. The no-drama endorsement was signaled by the fact that neither traveled to San Jose.

 The best-swag contest was a tie between

mini-boxes of “Tax-Free Tampons,” handed out to boost pending legislation to repeal the sales tax on feminine hygiene products, and Mardi Gras–style necklaces festooned with green plastic marijuana leaves, distributed by the Brownie Mary Democratic Club, named in honor of the late maiden saint of medical marijuana.

Dog of Another Mother

BLOOD IN THE WATER: When Kevin Walsh stopped by for a visit a few months ago,

I was a little disappointed. Where was all the hair on fire? The stench of mephitic odors? Or smoke coming out his ears? Walsh had just recently joined the Cachuma Operation and Maintenance Board (COMB) — one of the most crucial government agencies you’ve never heard of — and wasted little time establishing himself as both skunk at the garden party and turd in the punch bowl. Walsh, I had heard, was so inflammatory, rude, and abusive when questioning staff and haranguing fellow boardmembers as to constitute a hostile work environment. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. Last week, the Santa Barbara City Council called out Walsh by name, accusing him of “active sabotage” by effectively threatening to cut off water deliveries to thousands of South Coast customers. This would trigger a “catastrophic cascade,” the council was told, which could only be remedied with severe rationing for all customers. But the guy sitting across my desk from me was smart, opinionated, congenial, prickly, ingratiating, aggrieved, theatrical, verbose, generous, and pretty damn funny. He also knew water. Walsh has 28 years under his belt as a professional water manager. His father had been executive director of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Water, you could say, runs in his veins. Walsh

is now chair of a water district — referred to in the bureaucratically cryptic shorthand of water wonks as “ID1”— located downstream from the dam at Lake Cachuma. As is common with people living down river from a dam, Walsh is quick to suspect the four South Coast water agencies relying on Lake Cachuma of conspiring to steal his water. Walsh goes through his long litany of grievances against the four South Coast water agencies that, along with ID1, are represented on the COMB board the way old-school Catholics blaze through rosary beads. Not all his gripes are ancient. Nor are they entirely imagined. If I wound up writing anything, Walsh suggested I use the line, “Barges?! We don’t need no stinking barges,” a wickedly inspired riff on the classic line from the movie The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, in which three wannabe gold prospectors fall to feuding after succumbing to greed and wind up losing everything. The barge to which Walsh refers is really a combination of barge, pump, and a few thousand feet of water pipe that functions as an emergency “straw” stuck into the middle of the lake. This is necessary because the water level sunk so low that traditional methods no longer work. This emergency straw was first activated last year. But if El Niño doesn’t deliver soon, that straw will be sucking muck off the bottom of the lake in only a few months. The only solution is to move the barge where the water is deeper. And now. To move the barge

by this summer, COMB has to authorize it at its meeting next Monday. Here’s the rub. For that to happen, it appears a unanimous vote by all five voting members of the COMB board is needed. And Walsh has threatened to use his veto power unless he gets written guarantees recognizing the water rights of downstream users have legal precedence over those of South Coast users, which, in fact, they do. It’s conceivable by the time you read this, sanity will have struck and a deal worked out. If not, we’ll be up the creek without a paddle. Actually, it will be much, much worse. It should be noted Walsh is not the only wild hair on the river. And some of his gripes are legit. Relations among the five water agencies relying on Lake Cachuma have devolved into a Kama Sutra of every-agency-for-itself dysfunctionality into which the “fun” was conspicuously not put. The Goleta Water District, for example, finds itself at legal war with its own farmers over new drought surcharge rates that have effectively doubled the water bills paid by many farmers. When a Goleta “rancher” — actually Law & Order media mogul Dick Wolf — expressed interest in selling some of his groundwater to the Montecito Water District, Goleta threatened both Wolf and Montecito with legal action. Likewise, when the City of Santa Barbara sought federal permits to maximize the limited productivity of its Gibraltar Reservoir, Goleta filed papers with the feds, demanding the plan be subjected to greater environmen-

tal scrutiny. That’s not a breach of etiquette; it’s an act of aggression. It should be noted that ID1 did the same thing, but that’s to be expected. Goleta was not. But the skid marks really hit the road back in 2013 when Lake Cachuma plunged down to the halfway mark. That’s when all five water agencies were supposed to cut back their usage of Cachuma water by 20 percent. This “agreement” was written into a 1996 environmental impact report relating to steelhead recovery efforts throughout the Santa Ynez River Watershed. But in 2013, Goleta water objected that an EIR is not a contract and refused to honor the 20 percent cutback agreement. The other agencies felt they had no option but to follow suit. The effect, as Donald Trump would say, was “yuuuuge.” That 20 percent translates to about 5,000 acre-feet of additional water. If even half that much was available today, we wouldn’t be nearly so desperate to move the barge as we now are. So when Kevin Walsh says — in his acerbically amused way — that the South Coast water agencies helped bring the crisis on themselves, he’s got a point. And when Walsh expresses skepticism that the South Coast agencies can be trusted to honor existing policies, there is basis for his doubt. Bottom line, the barge must be moved. The five water agencies need to suck it up, make nice, and make it happen. If not, all our hair will be on fire. But there won’t be any water to — Nick Welsh put it out.

Victor Eugene Bantilan 11/18/49-02/22/16

Known by all as Gene, he passed away peacefully on February 22. Gene was born on November 18, 1949, in Pasadena to parents Vic and Ethel, where he grew up in a large working-class family and helped take care of his siblings. Rather than wait to be drafted, he volunteered for service, joining the army in 1970. After training he was sent to Ft. Hood, Texas, where he earned commendation as an expert rifleman and became his commander's favorite tank driver. After a brief courtship, Gene married his beautiful bride Kim Bosse in August 1976, when they made their love for and commitment to each other official. They were married for nearly 40 years. Gene got into the plumbing industry at age 16, and in 1977 he and Kim opened their first business, The Supply House in Simi Valley. Following the birth of their first child, Justina, they sold the business and moved the family to Oregon, where Gene built his first house with his own hands, while working full-time at the local hospital. After their second child, Cory, was born, the family returned to Southern California and opened their second retail-plumbing store, Santa Barbara Plumbing Supplies. Despite a wager by his competitors that the business would not last more than 6 weeks, it is still standing nearly 32 years later due to the shrewd businessman that Gene was. He was well respected by customers and vendors alike for his work ethic and honesty, always telling the truth whether you wanted to hear it or not. He thoroughly enjoyed providing employment and opportunity for others and particularly liked to mentor younger employees, showing them the inner workings of a plumbing part or process. If you were willing to learn, he was willing to teach. In 2008, Gene finished building his second house, taking pride in every facet of the construction. He thoroughly enjoyed working with his hands in his shop, also known as his man cave. There he worked on many projects, including his recent restoration of a 1931 REO Speedwagon. He loved off-road racing, beginning in the late 1960s and continuing to the most recent Baja 1000 in November to celebrate his 66th birthday. He enjoyed every aspect from building and rebuilding his race car to helping others and spending time with his son and his racing friends 16

somewhere in a hot, dry desert. Traveling to Mexico was a particular favorite of his as he got to enjoy the majestic beauty of Baja while drinking Coronas and eating at taco stands. Gene was an extremely hard worker. He was a stubborn, nononsense, straight shooter who would give you the shirt off his back. He was a man's man who had a soft and genuine heart. While not highly educated in the traditional sense, he graduated with honors from the school of hard knocks, imparting his knowledge, experience, and wisdom on all of us. Above all his accomplishments, his two children were his pride and joy. The newest joy in his life was his first grandchild, Myles, also known as Lil' Gene. He is survived by his wife, Kim; children, Justina (Ben), and Cory (Lyz); grandson Myles; brother Kelly and sisters Sharon, Tracy, Kimberly, Dana, and Michelle; and many nieces and nephews. There will be a short service immediately followed by a celebration of life at the Bantilan residence on Saturday, March 5 at noon. Attire is "Gene" casual. In lieu of weeds (Gene's word for flowers), donations can be sent to the American Lung Association or the American Heart Association.

her students. She was involved at the beginning stages of the bilingual education program in the Santa Barbara School District and taught in this program until its demise. Her love of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture developed while living in Caracas, Venezuela, with her family. Judy and Charlie traveled extensively all over the world. Her favorite places were France and Indonesia. She loved sailing, particularly on her last trip from Bali to Nusa Tenggara. Judy was a bright spirit, warm, loving, giving, supportive, intelligent, and upbeat. She will always be remembered for her infectious laugh and big smile. She leaves behind her loving husband, Charlie, with whom she enjoyed 30 years of her life. She found so much joy with her extended family, especially her niece Beth and nephew Joe and their children. She was a "cool" and creative aunt! Her brother Ralph Jr., dear cousins, and her husband's family with whom she was very close and supportive also survive her. Her parents, Ralph Sr. and Rose (Lee) Wong, and sister, Janet Wong, preceded her in death. A celebration of her life will be held at Saint Barbara Greek Orthodox Church, 1205 San Antonio Creek Road, from 2-5pm on Saturday, March 12, 2016. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a donation to CALM.

justice and to help those in need in big and small ways too numerous to list here. Joel loved baseball and basketball, and he remained true to his New York heritage as a Yankees and Knicks fan. He closely followed the exploits of the players. Not content with “professional” views on player performance, Joel developed his own analytical system and prepared personal statistical abstracts. That he found numbers to be significant was not a surprise to those who knew him longest, since as a small child, he was known to read the New York telephone books. He had a similar affinity for words, as anyone who tried to do a crossword puzzle alongside him will attest. He is survived by his sister, Lesley Goldberg of New York, NY, and numerous loving cousins and friends. We will remember Joel for his smile, his wit, his wide-ranging intelligence and curiosity, his generosity, kindness and empathy, and his passion for social justice. He is in our hearts always.

Thomas and had a son, Amahl. Barbara spent most of her working career in the glass business, mostly as an estimator. It was through this industry that Barbara met many lifelong friends and colleagues. Barbara’s biggest accomplishment, however, was her willingness to help others. She was notorious for taking people in to live with her and helping them get back on their feet. She was politically active in the local Santa Barbara Tenant’s Union, which fought for renters’ rights. A true champion for the underdog and for those less fortunate, Barbara unconditionally gave to those in need. Barbara will be remembered for her giving spirit and lighthearted approach to life. She will be terribly missed by all who knew and loved her. Barbara was preceded in death by her father and mother and both of her husbands, as well as her son Richard McInnis II. She is survived by her two children, Cathleen McDearmon (Jerry) of Long Beach and Amahl Thomas (Charrma) of Fontana; her five grandchildren, Apollo, Savannah, Justice, Pristine and Savior; her two sisters, Jeanine Kearney of Cottonwood, California, and Lorraine Bittner of Fresno, California; and many extended family and friends. The memorial service will be held at The First Baptist Church at 949 Veronica Springs Road in Santa Barbara, California 93105.

Debs, Judy Boss (Wong) passed away on February 9, 2016, surrounded by her loving family after a prolonged battle with cancer. She was a child actress appearing in such movies as the Hollywood film production of the Flower Drum Song. She was a ballerina and synchronized swimmer. At UCSB she majored in studio art. This developed into a lifelong support and enjoyment of the arts. In retirement she was involved with Santa Barbara Continuing Education in painting and jewelrymaking classes. She loved to collect unique jewelry pieces and eclectic works of art. This visual sensibility was also reflected in her personal style of dress. Judy received her BA and Teaching credential from UCSB. During her 37-year teaching career in Santa Barbara, she worked at Franklin and Adams elementary schools, and one year she taught in the ESL Department at SBCC. At Roosevelt Elementary School she met her future husband, Charlie, and taught with him for the remainder of her teaching career. She loved and nurtured all of

Joel Alan Goldberg was born in New York City on May 14, 1943. He was extremely proud of having grown up in Brooklyn, NY, where he played basketball in the P.S. 230 schoolyard and went to Erasmus Hall High School. He received his B.A. from City College of New York and an M.S. in library science from Pratt University. He worked as a librarian in New York City and then traveled extensively in Europe and South America before making Santa Barbara his home in 1974. He continued his library career in California and retired from the Ventura County libraries in 2001. Joel was a devotee of music (jazz, blues, rock, classical), theater (which he indulged by ushering at the Granada and other local performance spaces), movies (no Hollywood, please), and art. He was an ardent supporter of Santa Barbara artists and surrounded himself with the color and beauty of their work. Joel was born and raised a progressive, and he worked for social

Barbara Janet Thomas, 78, a friend and mother to many passed away on Sunday, January 24, 2016, in Rialto, California. A celebration of her life will take place on March 5, 2016, at 3:30pm at The First Baptist Church in Santa Barbara. Barbara was born on July 7, 1937, to Helen Eliason and Albert Terry in Santa Barbara. She lived in Santa Barbara for the better part of 60 years before moving to the Inland Empire to be close to her grandchildren in 2000. While in Santa Barbara, Barbara attended Santa Barbara High School (‘55) and took many courses at Santa Barbara City College, where she pursued a degree in cultural studies. In 1955 she married Richard McInnis and had two children, Cathleen and Richard II. In 1969 she married Theo

John James Sternot died on February 22. He was 103 years old. John grew up in rural Wisconsin. He owned several businesses and eventually drove an auto transport truck for 30 years, without one accident. Like many who grew up during the Great Depression, John knew how to fix anything. He had so many inventions that we started calling him “patent John”. He also loved woodworking, making doll cradles and reindeer. John was married to Milldred (Swarick) for 79 years. He retired to Goleta in 1973 when his daughter Delores transferred to Goleta with General Motors. John loved saying the rosary, which he did three or four times a day. In his honor, the rosary will be recited at 9:30 a.m. followed by the Funeral Mass at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, March 7 at St. Raphael's Church with Msgr. Stephen Noel Downes, Celebrant.

Only the Ball Was White

BAD OLD DAYS: Decades before Jackie Rob-

inson donned a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform in 1947, black players were starring in professional baseball — but in the Negro Leagues. Ironically, Robinson’s dramatic integration of the major leagues soon led to the breakup of the once-flourishing Negro National League. Other black players followed Robinson as organized-baseball owners cherrypicked the cream of the Negro League. Black fans preferred to watch their own players in major league action. After Robinson, the Dodgers hurried to sign such Negro League players as catcher Roy Campanella and pitcher Don Newcombe. It’s a little-known story, according to David Craft’s book The Negro Leagues, that Robinson, a UCLA star, was granted a 1942 tryout by the Chicago White Sox. Manager Jimmy Dykes spoke glowingly of Robinson and other black players who tried out, but none were signed. Robinson went into the service, played briefly in the Negro Leagues, and became a Dodger rookie at the advanced age of 28. But if it had been up to most team owners and Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who ruled baseball for 24 years, there’s no telling when the major leagues would have been integrated. Landis was dead set against it until the day he died in 1944. His replacement, A.B.“Happy” Chandler, had no such problem. He told the press, “If a black boy can make

it on Okinawa and Guadalcanal, hell, he can make it in baseball.” The story of the Negro Leagues goes back to when interest in baseball surged after the Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation may have freed the slaves, but it didn’t stop blacks from being excluded from white teams. So they formed their own clubs, and in 1885, three black teams merged to form the Cuban Giants, followed by the short-lived National Colored Base Ball League. “To those of us who are a century removed from the pain, hurt, disrespect, and violent confrontations these men experienced because of their color, they are remembered as pioneers whose frontier was organized baseball,” Craft wrote. But it wasn’t until 1920 that the disenfranchised players truly had a league of their own, thanks to a burly pitcher named Andrew “Rube” Foster. Foster, owner of the Chicago American Giants, formed the National Negro League. With new teams forming and others folding, the strain was apparently too much for Foster, according to Craft. In 1926, “the father of black baseball” began acting strangely. His family moved him to a mental institution, where he died in 1930 at the age of 51. During the Depression 1930s, teams roamed the country in broken-down old buses, slept where they could find a bed, and

often were turned away at white-only restaurants or told to order at the back door. Black stars emerged, but none more talented and colorful as Satchel Paige, master of the trick pitches who played on many a team as a hired gun. One was a semipro outfit owned by a Chrysler dealer in Bismarck, North Dakota, who signed the best players he could find, black or white. There they were, taking on all who dared, with Paige (when he was around) throwing his assortment of fastballs, curves, blooper balls, and his famous “hesitation” pitch. The story of “The Forgotten Team That Broke Baseball’s Color Line” is told in Tom Dunkel’s book Color Blind. Meanwhile, major league baseball was still ignoring perhaps the sport’s greatest pitcher — until it needed him. On July 9, 1948, Paige became the oldest man to make his major league debut. He was at least 42 when Cleveland Indians manager Lou Boudreau, fighting for the pennant, called Paige in as relief pitcher against the St. Louis Browns. His “hesitation” pitch” caused the batter to throw his bat 40 feet. The Indians went on to the World Series and won it. IT TAKES A LOT: Yep, it takes a lot for town

New Trends Trends, DIY Tips, and What Matters Most

ere comes the bride all

dressed in farm-to-table —no, no, wait; that’s the food theme. Radiant and lovely she shines with ornamental lanterns. Well, that can’t be … I think that’s décor. Gently she glides graceful as a barn. Hold up … that’s the venue. Meeting her bridegroom, her eyes full of driftwood …what? That must have to do with the nuptial’s ocean motif. Wading through wedding details can make your head spin, and, if you’re like me, you could use a little guidance planning this very extraordinary day —which is exactly what you will find in our wedding issue. In the following pages, Maggie Yates explains the ever-changing wedding trends; Ginny Chung tells how it is possible to pull off a DIY event with the help of family and friends; Kendra Summers answers questions about the magical El Capitan Canyon Resort; Matt Kettmann tries to sort out the question of whether to bring your children to the wedding; Alana Tillim shares her thoughts on the passing of her friend, the former owner of Santa Barbara Wedding Dance; and Reverend Miriam Lindbeck reminds us what is really at the heart of a wedding. In addition to the stories, this year’s endeavor includes a Complete Wedding Resource Guide pullout, created for your convenience. We hope to inspire, enlighten, and assist you as you plan your wedding day in Santa Barbara County. — Terry Ortega

The Marriage Is the Thing

t was a typical day at the office, the computer pinging with emails, the phone chirping with text messages while I sat writing at my desk. One email caught my eye from a person I love and adore, whose still-strong marriage I was privileged to preside over more than 24 years ago. She asked me if I would be interested in writing an article for The Independent upcoming wedding issue because she felt dent’s that my 35 years of being a wedding officiant and having performed nearly 1,000 personalized weddings warranted enough time and experience to comment on the changes in the world of weddings. Weddings have always been a pinnacle experience in life and a cause for celebration. They summon people from all over the globe to gather in one place, causing a surge of joy, hope, and love. Its vibrancy culminates in a ceremony and celebration that are a confirmation of life, an affirmation of love and its power, and the promise of dreams being fulfilled. The couples themselves are blessed as the center for creation, the expansion of humanity, and the builders of the future. To the delight of the human heart, they represent endless romance and pure love. Back in the ’80s, civil and nonreligious ceremonies were relatively simple and low-key. We would often gather at a park, in a backyard, on a beach, or at the Sunken Gardens at the S.B. Courthouse, where guests frequently stood around for the ceremony and would enjoy a simple meal afterward. Over the last three decades, a high percentage of weddings have evolved into spectacular artistic signature events, surrounded by professionals orchestrating, serving, and capturing every fleeting moment. Today, weddings run the gamut from the simple elopement for two on the beach to the grand,

four-day-long destination event for hundreds of guests at the finest resorts in S.B. County, with a myriad of events leading up to, and occurring after, the wedding itself. It’s all good. The Internet has significantly impacted nearly every co u r tes y aspect of weddings today. Pinterest is huge for style and theme ideas, decorations, food, clothing, hair, shoes, etc., while Instagram and Facebook share friends’ ideas. YouTube has examples of vows, unusual ceremonies, and choreographed bridal-party dances, plus there are blogs, wedding websites, and apps that are available to help with every stage of getting married, from proposing to the honeymoon. Couples can even have a friend or family member get ordained online and legally perform their ceremony. (Please note on the friend trend to all wedding couples: Be sure to have a backup officiant in case that person declines at the last minute. I have had to step in many a time and save a ceremony at the 11th hour). Overall, the Internet has changed the “blushing bride” into a “savvy selector.” The biggest change that has occurred over the years has been the largely successful fight for marriage equality and gay weddings. It is a great joy that they are becoming more common. Several years ago, there was a doing away with the tradition of sitting on the “bride’s side” or the “groom’s side.” Couples wanted everyone to “pick a seat, not a side” because they love each other’s friends and families equally, and it handled the embarrassment of one side having more guests than the other. At gay weddings, this newer tradition paved the way by removing any referral to gender. Some years ago, I switched the seating of both sets of parents to the other side of where their sons or daughters stood during the CoNT'D oN p. 23

had no idea what to expect when I opened this postcard wedding invitation. With that said, I was blown away when I arrived down in a canyon by Los Padres National Forest. Some 80 people were greeted with twinkling lights at dusk to celebrate Andrew White and Amber Cliett in an outdoor SoCal wedding with a Southern feel (a necessity to the bride and groom who both grew up in Mississippi). The new Mr. and Mrs. White meticulously and flawlessly disproved their need for a wedding planner as they jumped on the DIY train last October. No planner, no florist, no caterer, no emotional drama for them. Here are a few contributions made by family and friends that made this dream come true. This indie-hipster, breadth-of-nature location, provided by friends (contribution #1), was cleared out by what Amber referred to as “the men tank,” her husband-to-be and friends, who picked up fallen trees and used them as posts where tiny, white lights and baby pictures hung, all individually gathered and provided by family (contribution #2), creating a cozy atmosphere that resembled the warm Santa Barbara fall weather, and the couple. The homemade food (contribution #3), from boiled peanuts to tacos, also took after the Southern comfort/California theme. Resources for the homemade teepee and decorative dream catchers, all bound with love by friends (contribution #4), came from Art From Scrap (contribution #5),

the reuse store in town that sells scrap and discarded materials, inspiring eco-artists to get creative. Rocking jeans, a crocheted white dress, cowboy boots, and a necklace from S.B.based Blue Lotus, this duo proudly walked down the aisle to the songful voice of Marley Bernsen (daughter of best friends Michael and Victoria, and contribution #6) with Ocho Howl on the ukulele (who can be found playing on State Street and other festivals in town, and contribution #7) playing Bob Marley’s “One Love,” all the while cascarones (the confetti eggs you see during Fiesta, and contribution #8) flew through the air. And let’s not forget the humorous and memorable ceremony performed by best man Michael Bernsen, who got ordained (contribution #9) specifically for this night. Sure, it’s budget-conscious and trendy, but that’s not the rewarding part. Entrusting others with the most important day of your life,“it actually made everything more special,” said Amber. Husband Andrew agreed: “You really appreciate who all your friends are.” The amount of work and love that went into creating this daydream of a wedding can’t all be listed here, but with the help of these friends and family, Amber and Andrew’s dream wedding surely became a reality. Besides it being one of the most genuinely fun weddings I’ve been to, it mirrors an honest testimony to what loved ones and Santa Barbara can do for you. — Ginny Chung

ceremony. It resulted in a face-to-face view of their child throughout the entire service, and it gave both sides a sense of joining together as one greater family while symbolizing the old adage of “Mi casa es su casa.” This practice is becoming a new tradition as many couples and their families are implementing this practice. In my weddings, the tradition of “giving away the bride” happens infrequently. It is my perspective that when anyone loves someone, it’s emotionally, spiritually, and physically impossible to give them away. In the old tradition, the father of the bride or another father figure would usher her down the aisle. Many brides today have both their mother and father escort them, and so, too, the groom will walk down the aisle with his parents. In this spirit, I’ve introduced a different practice called “Joining of the Bride and Groom and Families.” The parents, including stepparents, are welcomed into each other’s families, and they all support the couple out loud and celebrate their union. To me, these small but significant changes speak to the non-separatist, happy blending of couples and their families of today. There is a relaxation of lines, an embracing of family and friends, and a leaning into love over protocol. No matter what some people say, good marriages are happening, and families are more nuclear than ever. Because I feel each couple is unique, I meet with mine several times before their wedding so I can know them clearly. I also meet their families. This always results in a momentous, personal ceremony conveying their story and their love, intentions, hopes, and dreams. The potency of the ceremony generates a positive ripple effect throughout the whole of their married lives. This work is my great passion. My couples are extraordinary, magnificent people already wed at the level of the heart. Though planning and logistics are exciting and distinctive to my couples, the most significant and enduring aspect of their wedding day is their marriage. Surrendering their heart and soul into their union and its transformative, creative power and vowing aloud to keep it strong and safe from harm is one of the most sacred occurrences on earth. It is a thing of lasting beauty and an expression of eternal love. — Reverend Miriam Lindbeck

santa Barbara as a destination …

For Wedding guests!

anta Barbara is high on the list of destination weddings, but it is also high on the list of destination vacations. Besides attending the wedding, there will be days and times when guests find they have opportunities to experience our city by the sea. So here’s a compilation of what you’ll find Santa Barbarans doing on a normal weekend. For those filled with adventure, there are hiking trails all over town! Santa Barbara Hikes (santabarbarahikes.com) offers a full guide to well-known and hidden trails that we love. Don’t like hiking? You’re surrounded by the beach! Go surfing, kayaking, swimming, and whale watching, or do stand-up paddleboard yoga. There are places near or on the beach where you can rent equipment. If you don’t take advantage of this gorgeous year-round weather, when else will you? For indoor group fun and fantastic photo opportunities, you can have a friendly bowling match at Zodo’s Bowling & Beyond or show off your figure-skating skills at Ice in Paradise. For those interested in craft brews and wine tasting with family, there are breweries with both indoor and outdoor patios with games and fun activities. Some trendy breweries you must visit include (keep in mind this is a very short list) Telegraph Brewing Co., Pure Order Brewing Co., M. Special Brewing Co., and Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co., most within a mile from each other. For those classing it up, the Funk Zone holds the best of the best wineries, including Santa Barbara Winery, Oreana Winery, and 17 others. For those looking to get creative, Art From Scrap often has artsand-crafts classes for both adults and children; the Painted Cabernet holds a painting class almost every day (ticket includes a glass of wine); and the Museum of Art presents art lectures, classes, and more. You can also visit art galleries, spread throughout Santa Barbara from State Street to the Funk Zone. For those foodies, Santa Barbara features the latest buzz on food. From a crab leg at S.B. Shellfish Company on the pier to a farmto-table vegan meal at Mesa Verde Restaurant and the myriad of restaurants in between, whatever you crave is all here (santabarbara. com/dining). Whether you’re a guest or part of the bridal party, know that, along with being in Santa Barbara for a very special reason, this city is waiting for you with a million things to do. — GC

2016 WeddIng Trends for the Modern California Bride

anta Barbara is a top wedding destination, so it’s no wonder that this year’s wedding trends fuse timeless California elegance with contemporary, ecologically conscious themes showcasing the natural splendor of the local landscapes. From breathtaking beachside sunsets to the rustic Americana-style beauty of rolling ranches and vineyards, those tying the knot in Santa Barbara have no dearth of options for planning the ideal wedding celebration. Melissa Younce, wedding planner from Engaged To Be Wed (engaged2bewed.com), says couples are opting for “funky wedding venues like barns, lofts, and warehousestyle spaces.” These intimate settings offer excellent potential for personalization. Friends and family love the distinctive accents that represent the couple’s personality, such as table names that indicate important places in the couple’s history or charming souvenirs signifying moments from the courtship. These decorative objects can be as simple as mason jars filled with local delicacies, such as luscious strawberries, or ornamental lanterns featuring sand and seashells. Younce further notes that brides have been incorporating décor “props” such as vintage travel books and globes. Simple floral patterns are in demand (think lace tablecloths with light-colored, prairie-inspired designs). Burlap, popular in past years, has been replaced with suppler fabrics, such as leather and lace. “Table décor is moving towards king’s feasting tables with long, low centerpieces instead of one massive centerpiece,” Younce explains. Including winding vines of bougainvillea or fruiting citrus branches is also eye-catching. The modern, eco-friendly bride is interested in local, farm-to-table flowers with creative presentation. “For flowers, the trend is a loose, organic, free-flowing style,” Younce says. “Brides are using local, seasonally appropriate flowers for wild, draping bouquets.” These asymmetrical bouquets show the fresh whimsy of a nature-chic wedding. But keep proportionality in mind: If your bridal bouquet is glorious and overflowing, keep your bridesmaids’ bouquets simple and monotone. There are many ways to be creative with decorative flowers, as well: Hanging wall gardens of small succulents add dashes of color, and the lattice can be

used to hold place cards or as a space for guests to pin photo-booth snapshots. If your theme incorporates ocean views, consider driftwood signs and garlands of local herbs, such as sage, rosemary, and lavender. The subtle colors of these plants add an understated pastel touch, and they effuse a delicious, earthy scent. Wedding fashion is also trending toward modest, ranch-inspired looks, such as gowns with long lace sleeves and daring detail work across the neckline. Ethereal veils flow from flower crowns over natural curls on brides, and bridesmaids are sporting loose, youthful braids. Mismatched bridesmaid dresses continue to be a favorite; it maintains the thematic look of your wedding party without being staunch and uniform. Add touches of sparkle in unexpected places, from shoes to hair fascinators. Younce says blush, berry, peach, and apricot are the light, dreamy colors that complement the nude tones fashionable this year. Monochromatic layering (think cream on ivory on buttery yellow or pale peach), with subtle, shimmering accents in rose gold, creates a muted palette that accentuates the natural beauty of the venue and makes any bride look like California royalty. Specialty tasting flights of wines and craft beers are the rage this year, especially since Santa Barbara boasts such a plethora of area libations. Cocktails, as well, are following the farm-to-table motif, with personalized bride-and-groom cocktails that feature local, fresh ingredients. And while many couples opt for a casual cocktail-and-appetizers reception, offering dinner is still an exciting way to invite conversation—especially when the food is served family style, says Younce. Don’t shy away from choosing dishes that represent your cultural heritage. Think of a refreshing grape and watermelon gazpacho, or mini kale and plantain tacos with cashew sauce. Finally, thank your guests with favors that show off local culture: Preserves, cheeses, wine samplers, or scones are a popular choice. The morning after your event, your guests will appreciate a gift box of edible items and simple mementos from your special day! —Maggie Yates Blue Magnolia events photos

AFFORDABLE EXCELLENCE

There are not many occasions in life like your Wedding Day. It's important that you have a truly professional, experienced and service oriented caterer whose attention to detail ensures the smooth flow of your wedding. I strive to make both bride & groom confident that your wedding day will go perfectly. I look forward to working with you. - Stanton Howell

should Your Kids go to Weddings? sutopgraphy

ittle kids are often the cutest things at a wedding—but only when they are dressed to the nines, carrying rings or flowers down the aisle, smiling for the camera, and legitimately part of the matrimonial ritual itself. Beyond that, I’ve come to believe after more than three decades of weddinggoing that, if you actually want to enjoy the wedding yourself, it’s usually best to leave the little ones at home. That goes for even when they are officially invited, though I’d also advise those about to take the leap that it’s perfectly all right and probably best to leave the kiddos off the invite list, as well. Only when I became a parent myself did this kids-at-weddings situation become more of a quandary. When it first struck, with cousins getting married at a palatial estate in South Lake Tahoe where kids were not welcome, I was a tiny bit offended, even though they offered day care in a guest house just behind the party. Our son was still very young, and we weren’t comfortable leaving him with a teenager we didn’t know, especially with a dozen or so other kids to watch. So my wife stayed at our rented pad instead. (Hey, it was my cousin!) But later, when we were allowed to bring our son to a college friend’s wedding north of Truckee, it was a mostly miserable experience—mainly for my wife, who wound up with most of the hassle (hey, it was my friend!), but that translated to a less-than-ideal experience for me. There were other bad times, too, with a major exception being my brother’s wedding, when my son walked the aisle with

a ring, smiled for the camera, and was the welcome star of the dance floor. Aside from those official roles, though, the reality is that even the best kids need attention constantly. But weddings should be all about the couple getting hitched. When you bring your kids, you wind up missing a lot, arguing with your spouse about who’s on duty, and bringing a lot of that usual familylife drama into what’s supposed to be a magical experience. (I can’t honestly remember if our daughter, now nearing 4 years old, has ever been to a wedding.) Perhaps more importantly, if that couple in question is thinking about having kids themselves, why ruin their dreams of perfect parenthood so early? — Matt Kettmann

The Wedding dance Lives On hristine Piper (pictured) was a dancer, colleague, and friend. We met when she rented space at my studio, Santa Barbara Dance Arts, and she told me about her lifelong passion for dance. She graduated with a BA in theater arts and owned and directed her own company, and her work was showcased around the country. Christine especially loved the way a couple’s first dance together as a married couple played into their new relationship, and she opened Santa Barbara Wedding Dance in 2002. She felt that most couples didn’t want to learn to fox-trot; they just wanted to feel comfortable. Her warmth was embodied in her business, and her clients felt it. After eight years of bringing dance to happy couples, Christine, looking for a change, gifted me the business. With a smile, she offered some advice through a story about a reluctant groom at his first lesson,“Not surprising, the future wife was leading while her fiancé struggled to keep up. Instead of fighting the dynamics, I embraced them.” She told me,“When he kept stepping left, we just changed the choreography so he could step left. It immediately took the pressure off, he began to lead, and his future wife melted in his arms. It was beautiful!” Christine enjoyed seeing how S.B. Wedding Dance embraced new trends, such as hip-hop, flash mobs, and choreographed dances, for the entire wedding party. She loved that marriage equality paved the way for more joyful dancing couples. After her passing in January of this year, I realized just how profound a person she was, and that is why I am so honored to continue her legacy, knowing her spirit will live on in every wedding dance we help create. — Alana Tillim

Engaging Santa Barbara Since 2005

It’s an Outdoor Affair at el Cap 30524

hen I was a girl, my family would spend summer nights pitching a tent at El Capitan campground overflow, which is now known as El Capitan Canyon Resort. Our drive took us 20 minutes north of Goleta, and we were greeted by a glorious grove of oak and sycamore that still stand there today. In 2001, Chuck Blitz and Roger Himovitz reopened this area of the campground into a refined outdoor experience, offering a cushy night in a cedar cabin, safari tent, or yurt. Camping has come a long way from a day at the beach with a night in a sleeping bag to a botanical hike followed by a tritip French dip and live bluegrass around the campfire. El Capitan Canyon Resort’s director of sales and marketing, Kendra Summers, agreed to answer some basic questions about tying the knot at the beautiful property. Who’s getting married at the Canyon, couples from S.B. or out of town? Both. Of course it’s great for people coming from out of town, but because all guests must stay overnight, it becomes a wonderful staycation or escape for Santa Barbarans, and it’s right in their own backyard. What is your typical wedding season? November through March, which is perfect for those who have always dreamed of a fall or winter celebration. Do guests have to stay for a minimum amount of time? Most weddings require a two-night stay. This allows our couples to enjoy a full weekend of celebration and special events with their loved ones. What size weddings do you accommodate? Weddings here have ranged from 75 to 300 guests and everything in between. We could also accommodate a wedding for as few as 30 people. There are guidelines for things like music or any amplification, such as a buyout of at least the 25 accommodations. It is even possible for a full buyout of the property that would include all 160 accommodations. So what are some of the costs at this nature paradise? The ceremony sites range from $1,500 to $4,000; reception sites range from $2,500 to $10,000; and accommodations — yurts, tents, and cabins — range from $145 to $795. Catering and banquet services are billed separately, and we have a preferred vendor

list for rentals, lighting, music, and bakery. There are so many variables that come into play on how this could be the perfect venue and destination for your unique vision. Besides the actual ceremony and reception, what activities are there for the bridal party at and around the resort? Besides creating a dream wedding, we allow the possibility of a full weekend of activities and events on our property, such as privately guided hikes, llama and goat feedings, high-ropes course, stargazing with our archeo-astronomer, yoga sessions, field games, bonfires, and s’mores competitions. Off the property there is wine tasting in Santa Ynez Valley or Santa Barbara, whale watching, surf surfing, and kayaking— kayaking anything that the Valley or S.B. has to offer. Would you consider this type of wedding “glamping”? When we first opened, we offered up the term “nature lodging.” Since the Housewives of Orange County stayed here, the term glamping has really taken off, so we’ll take it.

Socializing

Last Thursday, more than 200 Santa Barbara County students participated in the annual spelling bee. Six students went home with trophies for their exemplary spelling abilities, and the top two winners from each division, elementary and junior high, will go on to the state championships. The competition, a county staple for more than 20 years, was led by spell master Joseph Velasco, an English teacher at Santa Barbara High School. He announced some tough words, including “chauffeur,” which cleared out more than three quarters of the elementary students. The winning words were “effervescent” (junior high) and “wretchedness” (elementary).

H Orchid Show’s ThriLLa LL in VaniLLa LL LLa 71st Annual

n 1945, the Santa Barbara County Horticultural Society’s Bert Kallman hosted a modest display of orchids at the Montecito Grange Hall. The next year, more than $200,000 worth of the stunning, rare, and temperamental flowers showed up for round two at the Carrillo Rec Center, and by the 1960s, a full-fledged Orchid Show was blooming each year at Earl Warren Showgrounds. The now worldfamous tradition continues for the 71st time this weekend, when enthusiasts from Japan to Colombia will show their best stuff. Here are four things you’ll learn if you attend:

1) Love white chocolate, crème brûlée, or vanilla ice

cream? Thank Vanilla planifolia, the orchid species that produces 95 percent of the popular and expensive spice. This year’s show enlisted Chocolats du CaliBressan to make a special Tahitian vanilla treat.

2) Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theories included

a prediction that Madagascar’s Angraecum sesquipedale —whose nighttime fragrance emanated from a deep pool of nectar— nectar had to be pollinated by a special long-tongued moth, which was indeed discovered 21 years later. He was dead then, but the species is now called Darwin’s orchid in his memory.

3) Mosquitoes love stinky humans, which is why Platanthera obtusata emanates a similar stench

Vanilla planifolia

to attract the bugs. Though not the best pollinators, tiger mosquitoes are lured by the strategic stank of these common bog orchids, each species of which produces a specific scent to properly guide the unwitting bug collaborators.

4) In Sardinia and Corsica, the deceptively endowed

Ophrys exaltata tricks male bees with both visual and pheromone-based cues into thinking they are having sex with a female. When they ejaculate, they pollinate the flower but get no nectar or any other bee-helping love in return. —Matt Kettmann

The 71 71st st annual S.B. International Orchid Show runs Friday-Sunday, March 4-6, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., at Earl Warren Showgrounds. Tickets are $12-$14 per day and free for kids younger than 12, with an adult. See sborchidshow.com.

ow does a woman make new friends? It’s a question that Kendall Klein and Paola Pereira developed one rad answer to with their new monthly all-women gathering. “We began Rad Night because we wanted to create a space and time for women of all ages, interests, and lifestyles to come together to learn, create, or experience something,” explained Pereira. “We saw the need for women to intentionally take time for themselves, to meet new women, and to grow community.” The $10 event is held the first Monday of every month 7-9 p.m. at Municipal Winemakers, where women socialize before sharing a new experience. On February 1, for instance, panchos cushioned the floor, candles lit up the bar, a fire blazed, and a coffee table brimmed with snacks, as if Muni Wine had transformed into Yoga Soup. Excitement bubbled as the 45 attendees — who ranged from 21-55 years old, from CEOs to the unemployed, and many by themselves — grabbed a glass of Dark Red. “Anything called Rad Night has to, at the heart, be something good,” said participant Emily Brown. Past Rad Night events have ranged from making cards for a nonprofit to dance lessons. Typically, the organizers hint at the night’s theme, but women were made fully aware this time that they’d undergo a group transformation session of past life regression led by creative counselor Lisa Veit. “I know and trust that each process of past life regression will shed light and awareness on a person’s current experience of life and unravel deep-rooted struggles, habits, and beliefs,” said Veit. As we put our glasses aside, she addressed our hesitations. “Because we’re in a group,” said Veit, “it’s going to be so much less frightening.” After the light hypnosis, the group laughed, listened, and learned, finding commonalities in their past lives and connections in the present.“This was the kind of night you only read about but always secretly wish you were a part of,” said impressed attendee Kayla Diaz. “My hope for the future is that Rad Night continues to grow,” said Pereira. “I want people to leave feeling inspired, excited, having met new women, and feeling a part of a community.” — Rebecca Horrigan

living | Sports DOMINATING DONS: Senior stalwarts Nick Busch (14), Bolden Brace (20), and Ben Clay (32) have led Santa Barbara High to 30 basketball victories this season.

of UCSB’s women, it’s a feel-good story. The team that used to dominate the Big West fell on hard times last year, going 2-27. With much the same personnel, new head coach Bonnie Henrickson and her staff transformed the Gauchos into a team that was fun to watch again. They’ll at least break even in the conference (8-7 heading into the finale at Hawai‘i) and will return to tournament next Tuesday at Irvine’s Bren Events Center. “I’ve really enjoyed it,” said Henrickson, who coached teams to the NCAA Sweet 16 at Virginia Tech and Kansas. “I’ve had a lot of fun getting in the trenches with them. I’m demanding. I’m fussy about how we do things. Some teams have an attention to detail; the best teams have a ridiculous attention to detail. I’m big on that, especially when you can improve your program. There’s so many things a player can do that require no talent. We try to own all the areas that require no talent, and grow all the areas that require talent. We’ve done a pretty good job in both those areas.” A striking improvement has occurred in UCSB’s shooting and scoring. “We’re unselfish,” Henrickson said.“We had 22 assists on 28 field goals [against Cal State Northridge]. We don’t take bad shots. We recognize every possession is ‘our’ shot; it’s not ‘mine.’ If I don’t have a good shot, I need to let go of it. These kids have trusted me when I said, ‘Here’s the shots we can take; here’s the shots we’re not going to take.’ I’m a firm believer that they need to know why.” A pair of smallish guards — 55 junior Onome Jemerigbe and 57 sophomore Makala Roper —have played big roles in the Gauchos’ resurgence. With Jemerigbe looking for her on the drive-and-kick, Roper has become a confident shooter and UCSB’s leading scorer. Jemerigbe also sets the tone for the defense by putting hard pressure on opposing point guards. Jasmine Ware, a sparky senior guard, has played with verve down the final stretch of her career.

Santa Barbara senior outplayed her at both ends of the floor. After his team fell two points short in another comeback against visiting Vista Murrieta, which had four legitimate Division I college prospects, Santa Barbara coach Andrew Butcher declared, “We’re really good. We start two sophomores and a junior. We’ll be even better in 10 days.” He was looking forward to the State Regionals, which will combine the best teams from Fresno to San Diego. Santa Barbara’s boys also are expected to land a regional berth next week.

to be played at Peabody Stadium was one of the most memorable. In the CIF Division 1 quarterfinals, the Dons scored a 3-2 victory over Paramount, which was ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 5 in the nation. They spotted the visitors a 1-0 lead but surged ahead on a seeing-eye grounder by Brandon Sanchez shortly before halftime; a rebound goal by Sloan Hanson; and a swerving rope of a shot by Sanchez. Paramount had yielded only 11 goals in 24 previous matches. COLLEGE HOOPS: UCSB’s men have a chance to close out

the regular season with eight consecutive victories. They have six in their pocket with two home games remaining, Thursday night, March 3, against UC Riverside and Saturday at 4 p.m. against Cal Poly. It’s worth it to get out and see Michael Bryson play. The 65 senior guard has secured UCSB’s career record in three-pointers with 223 and counting. When the Big West Tournament begins March 10 at the Honda Center, the Gauchos could loom as a threat to conference kingpins Hawai’i and UC Irvine. An 11-18 record may not seem to qualify a team for special mention, but in the case

the 30-win plateau and advanced to the CIF 2A championship final at the Honda Center (see the Game of the Week), they’ve done it with style. In their 84-69 quarterfinal victory over visiting Lawndale, they lit up the scoreboard. Bolden Brace channeled his inner Steph Curry, bombing six three-point baskets in the first six minutes. A couple of them splashed down from almost 30 feet away. “Sometimes I get that feeling,” Bolden said. “When there’s good energy in here, it makes me super fired up.” The final quarter featured a flurry of slam dunks by Brace, Nick Busch, and Ben Clay before Santa Barbara coach David Bregante cleared the bench. In their semifinal game last Friday at La Mirada, the Dons got something they needed: a gut check. It was a one-score game down to the final minutes when junior guard Ben Brown sank a three-pointer to put them ahead, 61-55. They held on to win, 62-57. It was the kind of toughness they’ll need Saturday, March 5, against a Lynwood team that outlasted Hart in overtime to reach the final.

3/5: High School Boys Basketball: CIF Southern Section Division 2A Final, Santa Barbara vs. Lynwood: It’s the Dons’ first CIF final in a quarter century. In 1991, they defeated Marina, 50-49, to win the Division 1A championship. Their previous appearance had been way back in 1935, when they outscored Long Beach Poly, 20-17. In other words, this is a special occasion, made possible by a special senior class: Bolden Brace, Nick Busch, Ben Clay, Paul DeBruynkops, and JM Cage. The Dons (30-1) are the top-seeded team, and Lynwood (23-5) is No. 2. The Knights are young (a freshman, Oscar Lopez, starts at point guard), and they have gotten stronger throughout the season.

LUNA GRILL COMING TO FIVE POINTS:

Reader Annie let me know that Five Points Shopping Center has announced that San Diego– based Luna Grill, which serves fast-casual Mediterranean cuisine, will be occupying half of the retail space at 3925 State Street, the former home of the Carl’s Jr. that closed in January. On January 25, I wrote that Blaze Pizza was coming to this location, as well, and the Five Points announcement confirms that Blaze and Luna will be sharing the building. Luna Grill has a menu that focuses on grilledchicken kabobs and also offers beef, veggie, fish, and lamb options. You choose a grilled protein and whether you want it served as a wrap, salad, or signature plate. Your meal includes choice of sides such as hummus, falafel, spinach pie, spicy feta dip, or fries. Meats at Luna Grill come from

CONVIVO TO OPEN ON CABRILLO: Restaura-

teur Larry Mindel and Chef Peter McNee will be opening Convivo restaurant and bar this spring at the newly remodeled Santa Barbara Inn, 901 East Cabrillo Boulevard. Convivo, whose name means “to come together,” is the root word for the Latin term for “feast.” McNee describes his style of food for Convivo as Nomad Italian. “The foundation — our soul — is Italian, but our destination is Santa Barbara, and the menu draws from different styles and traditions along the way,” said McNee. His menu will feature cicchetti (small plates served in bite-size portions), shareable antipasti, house-made pasta, woodfired pizza, and a bounty of seafood and meats roasted over a wood fire. Many dishes are served family-style, and everything can be shared.“Great meals are ones shared with friends and family,” said McNee. “Conviviality is a central theme of the restaurant and the seasonally changing menu.” A full bar featuring craft cocktails and local brewers will anchor the 62-seat restaurant. A brick outdoor patio offers al fresco dining with a view of the Channel Islands. An extensive wine list including wines on tap will draw primarily from the Santa Barbara wine country. Located just steps from the ocean, Convivo will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the 70-room Santa Barbara Inn and provide catering services for the 80-seat banquet room. “Santa Barbara’s bounty of ingredients rivals that of the Bay Area,” said McNee. “It’s a special place, rich with wonderful artists, small independent farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and vintners. You don’t have to go farther than the Santa Barbara Farmers Market to see why I’m excited about opening Convivo. This community of artisans is a big reason my wife and I want to live in Santa Barbara and raise n our young son here.”

Dining Out Guide

animals raised without growth hormones or antibiotics, and the company avoids genetically modified or artificial ingredients. The average meal costs about $12. “We want to be more in between fine dining and fast casual,” said Sean Pourteymour, who cofounded Luna Grill with his wife, Maria, in 2004. “Chipotle is fast casual, but it’s more go down the line, get it quick, eat, and go. At Luna, you order at the counter, but you can sit down with your kids. There are people on the floor to refill your drinks or bus for you. We’ve really tried to raise the bar on the guest experience.” Luna Grill will have 40 locations in Southern California by the end of 2016. Visit lunagrill.com.

new restaurant fusing North and South American with Asian cuisine called Yankee Noodle is now offering a variety of ramen bowls and more at 214 State Street, the former home of Union Ale between downtown and the Funk Zone. “It’s North American and South American,” says owner Matthew Jameson-Chrestenson. “We are playing off of places like Mexico, offering tacos, quesadillas, in a fusion style. Then for Asian we’re doing Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Mongolian. We’re kind of mixing them all together.” The main menu includes the Base Ramen Bowl, with fresh-made noodles, chashu (pork), fishcake, and scallion served in a savory pork broth. Optional additions include extra chashu, bean sprout, fresh corn, fried tempura bits, fried egg, mixed mushroom, perfect egg, curry paste, miso butter, garlic bamboo, crispy bacon, Chinese broccoli, and bok choy. The cold menu includes edamame with shishito and Xi’an ceviche, while the hot menu offers fried chorizo dumplings with kimchi nachos,“Kalifornia” mushroom wontons in spicy peanut sauce, crispy fried honey-sesame shrimp, and umami fresh corn off the cob. The Pushcart Eats menu lists Spicy Dan Dan Three Cheese Beef with Pork Mazeman Ramen and a Nam Nam Smashed Meatball Lamb Burger. For the burger, you can choose your style (Rice Bowl, Seoul City Tacos, Kimchi Quesadilla, or Beijing Drunk Burrito); then you choose your protein (short rib, pork belly, or chicken).

Mushroom Bisque @ Barbareño sually there’s no risk to bisque: It’s supposed to comfort you in its creamy arms. Of course Barbareño is all about the clever curve, the elegant update, as now embodied in this gorgeous mushroom bisque. First, it’s thinner than most, which simply means there’s more flavor and less cream, and that’s a trade anyone who owns a scale will make. It's all that mushroom earth but no heaviness, thanks to shiitake that gets smoked. (Why not a wisp of barbecue for depth, for Santa Barbara?) And then there's a surprising amount of lift. Perhaps there’s a good shot of acid (a vinegar? some citrus?), or maybe the tang all comes from the inclusion of wood sorrel, a wild green that looks like shamrocks and is lucky for a diner, with its crisp zip. Vegetarians can stop there, but the full-menu version offers a crostini crusted with foie gras, a gilding of the lily, a bronzing of the orchid (for a more local overdone-ness), a depth charge of organ meat funk and haunting flavor. $9, 205 W.

Life in Costume

While helping with the designs for The Artist Artist,, did you imagine that it would win Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Costume Design? The costume supervisor, Barbara Inglehart (now on Scandal)) told Mark Bridges, the costume designer, that this was his Academy Award winner. It turns out that she was right. We all loved the story, commitment, and courage to make a “silent film.” … I was there beside [Mark] as we went from costume house to costume house, trying to find the right period of clothes. We had fittings with the stars prior to and continuing during filming to set their “closet” based on the script breakdown and shooting schedule. After filming started, Mark stayed on set to ensure his look was followed throughout, and I pulled the rest of things together for the day players ... It was a real team effort.

urrounded by Santa Barbara City College students diligently sewing gloves and camisoles by hand and machine, costume teacher and designer Pamela Shaw sets a delicate piece of trim in the burgundy bodice of a 19th-century dress for the upcoming Theatre Group at SBCC production In the Next Room (or the vibrator play). The class works collaboratively to create the wardrobe that Shaw envisioned for this comedy about marriage and the early history of the vibrator, which was originally used to treat female “hysteria.” Although Shaw’s main work now is as a teacher, she began her career in television and film, which have granted her membership to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the honor of vice president of the Costume Designers Guild. In 2012, the silent film The Artist won Best Costume Design along with Best Picture, a result of Shaw’s work as assistant costume designer. In an interview with The Santa Barbara Independent Independent, Shaw offered a glimpse into her inventive, industrious life. (For the full interview, see independent. com/pamelashaw.)

An IntervIew wIth DesIgner

What is a typical preshow work day for you? At SBCC, I’m teaching 16 hours a week and then have prep and grading for that part of my life. I read scripts, create a costume plot detailing the show, meet with the director for design meetings, have production team meetings, and then plan the costumes that help support the character as the director wants the audience to perceive that character. Once the play is cast, I work with Clarice Hillebrand, the costume shop manager, to get measurements and fittings scheduled. Our costume storage is 8.5 miles from SBCC West Campus at the Wake Center, so a considerable amount of time is spent going to that facility to pull costumes from our stock first. … Then we have fittings and establish all remaining costume pieces to be procured whether that is made to order or rental. I attend rehearsals, continue to have open communication with the director to best meet the needs of the production. I try to have the classes have a piece of the play so they can take ownership and see their work onstage,if it’s costume construction,quick changes,or wig styling.

Pamela SHaw

Was there a specific moment that you knew you wanted to design costumes? I was 18, living on my own, and needed a job. There was a job listed for a small rental costume shop for a theater or art major. I was a biology pre-med major, but it sounded like the job with the fun factor. The owner was very generous and, because I could sew, gave me a dance troupe to work with and design very soon thereafter. Your costume-design experience is diverse— from stage to television to film to the classroom. How do your approaches to each differ? The approach always starts with the narrative, whether that is a script, a storyboard, or a piece of music. “What story is being told?” After the initial introduction to the material, there is a period of reflection, research gathering, discussion with the director, and image selection. There is casting; as a costume designer, it’s all about the character and the human that embodies the character. That is the same for any project. The execution then varies based on the viewing medium or the perspective of the audience.

Prepping for their upcoming full-length album, Brooklyn rockers Dreamers have released a five-track EP, You Are Here. Featuring guitar-driven breakout single “Wolves (You Got Me),” the EP depicts the struggle of moving on from an unhealthy relationship. Songs like “DRUGS” and “Shooting Shadows” show the singer trying to distract himself from missing his ex-lover and replacing her with drugs and destructive behavior. Lyrics like “can we chase a fire from a lost romance” set the stage for a resolution that occurs in “Never Too Late to Dance,” as the singer finally lets go of the past and meets a new potential lover. The EP is worth hearing for anyone trying to move on from a rough patch in life. — Austin T. Murphy

S.B.’s Josh Redman is a musical totem. Standing for the soft-speaking and softly hearted, the under-dogged and the under-sung, the DIY-scene helmsman has cultivated a kind core at the center of the city’s folkways. On his newest cassette, Situational Anxiety Anxiety, Redman sings sensitively of the shadow sides to sobriety and outcast longings with his trademark tenderness. On songs like “Not Funny” and “Just Mouth the Words,” Redman’s shy but good-hearted soul shines right through the earbuds, as if he were playing in your room. Homespun and endearing, it’s as unpretentiously personal and warmingly vulnerable as your favorite Elephant 6 artist. —Richie DeMaria

Killing the Hangman

Prague was an occupied city in 1942. The Nazis controlled every facet of daily life. Food was rationed. Gasoline and coal were reserved for the German war effort. Coffee, sugar, and other basic necessities were earmarked for the Germans first, the population second. The German occupiers maintained iron control over the city, with checkpoints and curfews and identity papers and, when necessary to reinforce their authority, assassinations of intellectuals and suspected provocateurs. The punishment for dissent was swift — and nearly always fatal. In Killing the Hangman, James Pattillo brings occupied Prague to life. The novel’s protagonist is Stefan Mrak, who the reader first meets in London, where Mrak, along with other exiled Czech military personnel, is stationed behind a desk doing the grunt work upon which armies depend. Mrak is a junior officer, trained in intelligence operations and desperate to return to Prague to locate his wife whom he hasn’t seen, spoken to, or corresponded with in three years. For all Mrak knows, his wife might be dead or confined to a camp; a reality of occupied Prague is that people disappear all the time. Then Mrak and a small team are given a mission: Parachute into Czechoslovakia and assassinate Reinhard Heydrich, the ambitious, murderous chief of the SS. The odds of the assignment succeeding are slim, even if everything goes off without a hitch, which of course doesn’t happen. Within hours of landing, the two members of Mrak’s team are killed, leaving Mrak on his own in familiar but hostile territory. He hides in plain sight, with forged identity papers and ration cards in his pockets, and a pistol tucked in his waistband. As he attempts to make contact with other agents, and find out what became of his wife, Mrak plays a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game with the police, German soldiers, and the Nazi SS. While I found the sense of time and place and atmosphere created by Pattillo captivating, I can’t say the same for the plot. Mrak is aided by a number of coincidences that feel too fortuitous. For instance, when Mrak finally finds his spouse, it’s not through any effort on his part; rather, he literally bumps into her in the street. When the attack on Heydrich occurs — which should have been one of the plot’s high points — Mrak isn’t even present; he’s locked in a railway boxcar with other men picked up in a German sweep. I wanted Mrak to play a more active role, to overcome the obstacles in his way through his own agency, grit, and struggle. Because the plot of Killing the Hangman lacks tautness, an otherwise promising novel is doomed to a predictable and disappointing end. — Brian Tanguay

veryone knows that Carpinteria is an amazing haven for beachcombing, beer, and burgers at The Spot. What they may not know is that the place now harbors and nurtures a lively community of contemporary artists, several of whom are currently being featured in the show South Coast Sampler: Eight Carpinteria Artists at the Arts Fund Gallery. While the shared zip code may be all that links these artists on paper, their work is connected by a certain laid-back confidence and a nuanced quirkiness that make them, like their hometown, distinctive. But while these chilledout and self-assured pieces were brought together by an accident of geography, making a through line from artist to artist is both pointless and limiting to the art itself. The fun of this show is in seeing how much difference can be crammed into one room. The diversity of theme and subject, medium and message, become a visual conversation that feels neither exclusive nor overly intellectual—just downright fascinating. It’s like eavesdropping on the group of artists as they gossip over a pint of beer at Island Brew. Take Stuart Carey’s larger-than-real-life rhythmic depiction of a figure. In “It’s Just a Gender Difference,” Carey is clearly commenting on the current transgender culture war. The gigantic size, too, makes the figure into an overarching presence, nearly eclipsing many of the subtler pieces in the room. This is fitting. Gender, like the piece, is the forever elephant in the room. All around us, we are confronted by what makes us man or woman, but rarely do we have the chance to engage these myriad issues in a funny, daring, interesting way. If Carey’s work is a Mardi Gras parade, then Julie B. Montgomery’s is a quiet walk alone on the beach. Her abstract paintings are reminiscent of moving water, horizon lines,

and the Carpinteria summer diffused by fog. Beneath exquisite layers of green, blue, and ochre are dissipated pieces of text that add a layer of mystery and mystique to the images. Dynamic in their movement but somber in their tone, the paintings beg for further investigation and invite long staring. Equally intriguing is Sean Anderson’s engagement of some sort of neo-nativist Shangri-la. In a series of beach-hut works, many created with fluorescent auto enamel, Anderson depicts primeval forts or houses with lovingly soft brushstrokes that evoke nostalgia or memory. It seems so fitting that an artist from a beach town in Southern California in the 21st century made this work. Modern Carpinteria is also fading into a long-forgotten memory of itself, made concrete every year by the floods of tourists remembering the place always as it was before. As for Sampler in its entirety, there is so much to look at and not enough space in print to explore it all: Garrett Speirs’s minimalist scrawlings that evoke order and playfulness simultaneously; Pamela Hill Enticknap’s politically charged oil on paperwork, “Hanging by a Thread”; Patricia Houghton Clarke’s exterior photographs of abandoned houses, focused on overgrown furniture, doorways, and porticos; Chris Baker’s flattened primary-colored interior, smeared and alive with color; and, of course, Arturo Tello’s stunning painting “The Tao of the Cow,” a wildly perfect image of a cow sunning in a green field. Like Carpinteria, the art exhibit, and Tello’s painting, there are many surprises in this exhibit, despite the familiarity of some of these artists and their close proximity to Santa Barbara. The works, curated by Nancy Gifford, will start a conversation and may inspire a trip to see the South County artists n in their native habitat.

n the preface to the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman famously asserted, “The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem.” While Whitman certainly went a long way toward proving that claim in his own work, it was not until the 20th century, when photographers such as Walker Evans and Robert Frank set out to document American life, that we had the necessary visual evidence to establish it as a fact. Now, in the 21st century, along comes Carl Corey, a camera in his backpack and sturdy boots on his feet, walking the Yellowstone Trail through the American Midwest and determined to capture, preserve, and transmit through photography the essence of whatever it is that make these United States the greatest poem. Working in gloriously subtle color, Corey has compiled a series of images accompanied by pithy, thought-provoking captions that succeed both as gentle satire and as heartfelt homage. In one image, a poofy white poodle looks expectantly out of a picture window, unaware of how closely he resembles both the plastic snowman in the planter below him and the wrapped boles of the miniature tree in front of this otherwise anonymous brick ranch house in Colby, Wisconsin. The caption further inflects the image with this observation: “Dogs are great because they know, but do not tell.” Corey is a masterful portrait photographer. For example, his portfolio For Love and Money, which documents the proprietors of Wisconsinbased businesses that have been family owned and operated for at least 50 years, is as strong a series of situational portraits as you will find anywhere. But in Americaville, Corey’s more interested in the odd things that people leave behind, the unintentionally ironic monuments that reveal the contradictions we carry around all the time. One climax of this tendency comes in a shot that captures a life-sized crucifix surrounded by horntooting angels and surmounted by the American flag. Corey’s caption? “Erin Corner, Wisconsin, ‘The government of the United States is not, by any sense, founded on the Christian religion.’” “Yes,” one wants to say,“and this is not a pipe.” It’s in these wonderfully strange yet familiar moments of All-American surrealism that Corey’s work achieves the poetry America n challenges us to find.

PASSION POTION: Adina (Angela Mannino) looks on as Nemorino (Marco Cammarota) grips the bottle he believes will make her love him.

A Love HAngover “ I

This humble peasant wins the hand of a fine lady acter. When asked about how he prepares for despite the deceit of a quack who sells him a a role that’s been played by Pavarotti and Pláphony love potion. In the process, Nemorino cido Domingo, among others, Cammarota goes through some heavy melodramatic said that he has benefited from “mediation. changes and still finds time to get roaring I’ve been doing it for 18 months now, and drunk — twice. it’s been so good for me as a tenor, because it Gaetano Donizetti’s talent as a composer has allowed me to hone my nervous energy has made this romp a perennial with opera into an ally. Wording things a certain way, companies around the world.

SINGULAR SOUND: The Mavericks have garnered critical and commercial acclaim for their distinctive country sound, which blends Cuban, Latin, and rockabilly influences. The band recently received two Grammy nods for their newest, Mono.

Country MusiC the MaveriCk Way by Richie DeMaria MONO-PHONIC: Call it a comeback — not a reunion. Since reforming in 2011 after breaking up in 2004, Grammy Award–winning country-byway-of-Miami band The Mavericks have rolled out two critically and commercially successful albums, winning new fans across the nation with their celebrated live shows. This is no late-career cash-grab from a bunch of restless musicians; this is a certified rebirth. “It feels like a second life,” said drummer Paul Deakin in a recent interview with The Santa Barbara Independent. When they play their already-sold-out show at the Chumash Casino Resort (3400 E. Hwy. 246, Santa Ynez) Thursday, March 3, at 8 p.m., it will be on the heels of their newest, Mono, which earned Grammy nominations for the Best Americana Album and Best American Roots Song for the single “All Night Long.” Said single opens the album with an explosive brass line, more Little Havana than Nashville, demonstrating the band’s versatility and the dynamism of their roots. “We grew up in Miami, and those Latin rhythms resonate a lot within this band,” Deakin said.“We’re a very rhythmic band; it’s a hive-mind sound.” The band first started playing back in the late 1980s South Beach scene, where they famously shared rock venue stages with another up-andcoming Floridian act, one Marilyn Manson.“They called us Johnny Clash,” Deakin recalled of their early days in punk rock bars. It was an interesting time, he said, a brief three- to four-year window when a young band could get noticed in Miami, before South Beach became a known name and leases blew up. Nowadays, the hugely successful band is taking its distinctive sound on the road with more freedom and “fewer restrictions” than ever, Deakin said. The band is self-managed, which means no label pressures and a selfdirected creative course. They are doing better business musically than they ever have, he says, though they are sure not to let the almighty dollar get in the way of the real focus: music. The last few years have not been without its difficulties, however. The Mavericks had to let go of cofounder and longtime bassist Robert Reynolds due to his out-of-control drug addiction. “It was a dark cloud above us,” Deakin said. “This is my best friend for 25 years. It was hard emotionally, and we did everything we could.” As Reynolds’s role in the band shrunk due to his dysfunctional behavior —“propped up onstage,” and absent on the most recent albums — the group finally forced him to leave. Yet it would not be truly roots country without some measure of heartache, and the silver lining of such interpersonal dark clouds are the songs that come forth. Singer Raul Malo — whom Deakin calls “the voice of a generation”— is known for his weep-inducing, Roy Orbison-ian voice. On songs such as “From Hell to Paradise,” Malo sings of the wearying struggles faced by immigrants (his parents were Cuban), while on Mono’s “Pardon Me,” he sings of the touring musician’s melancholy and the inevitable postshow comedown. But for the most part, The Mavericks are a band all about fun. They’ve opened the year with cruise-ship gigs, and the Chumash is but one of many casinos they plan to play in the coming weeks. When asked what their ideal party would include, the rhythmic catador was quick to say: “Tequila. Some music, a little bit of tequila, people having fun — that’s what it’s all about.” n

ports films are a fairly predictable assortment of moving parts. You have your hero —more often than not a gifted player burdened by circumstance — and your trainer, a once-glorious athlete grappling with the loss of their glory days (usually by crawling into a bottle), who finds himself consumed with the need to help the hero soar to victory. Like Race, which is also currently in theaters, Eddie the Eagle tells the story of an athlete who overcame great odds to make it to the Olympics. Unlike Race, which is about Jesse Owens, an athlete so fabulously gifted that he broke records while recovering from an injury, Eddie the Eagle follows a British skier of dubious talent who essentially makes it to the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary on a technicality — and barely qualifies to do even that. Michael “Eddie the Eagle” Edwards (Taron Egerton), a young man with big dreams and unnecessarily large glasses (thank you, 1980s fashion gods), dreamed of going to the Olympics since he was a little boy with dodgy knees. While doctors were able to fix the knees, they were not able to imbue him with Olympic-level talent. However, Eddie does become adept enough at skiing to train with a team of athletes who aim to qualify for the Olympics, but his execution is still too awkward to actually attend the trials with his comrades. This does not stop Eddie, who discovers, Cool Runnings style, that he may be able to attend the Olympics

British ski jumper Michael Edwards in this predictable underdog movie.

via a loophole; while England may be the land of Shakespeare and Milton, it is not a fertile breeding ground for Olympic ski jumpers. Before Eddie, Great Britain had not sent a ski jumper to the Olympics since 1929. Determined to represent his country, Eddie scuttles off to Germany to teach himself how to ski jump, as you do. There, he meets Bronson Peary (Hugh Jackman), a onetime Olympic ski jumper who is now the most virile, healthy-looking alcoholic you’ve ever seen in your life. What follows is a pleasant, uplifting, paint-bynumbers underdog story. And while every piece is in place — the climactic final competition, the trainer with irreverent methods, the doggedly determined hero — there is nothing about the film that jumps out as being particularly unique. — Natalia Cohen Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

Songs My Brothers Taught Me

SCREENINGS For more screenings, see p. 31 of The Week. Songs My Brothers Taught Me (98 mins.; NR)

Nominated for a 2015 Independent Spirit Award for Best Feature, this movie tells the story of a brother and sister living on Pine Ridge Reservation whose lives change dramatically when their absentee father dies suddenly. Thu., Mar. 10, 5 and 7:30pm, Plaza de Oro

NOW SHOWING The Big Short (130 mins.; R) Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell reunite on-screen for this film based on Michael Lewis’s best-selling book about four people who predicted the implosion of the credit and housing bubble and bet against the big banks, thus profiting from the financial crisis. Riviera

O Brooklyn

(111 mins.; PG-13)

The film begins visually in dowdy monochromatic tones with a surprisingly drab Saoirse Ronan as Ellis, an Irish girl with no prospects on the eve of her departure for America. As Ellis sets sail, however, the film’s colors brighten and deepen, and the story accumulates glories of composition and striking period details. Brooklyn is indeed a strong woman’s film, but it’s also a glowing testament to America’s meaning. (DJP) Metro 4

O Deadpool

(108 mins.; R)

Marvel’s experiment in adult-portion superhero moviemaking is an almost pure success. Brash, sexual, vulgar, and extremely violent, the film, which stars Ryan Reynolds as a manufactured mutant with a very bad attitude and a very sharp wit, gets past its own gory excesses with self-referential jokes and fanboy-friendly pop-culture references. It does pander to audiences that liked Kick-Ass, but the film’s pace is the star, brilliantly mixing origin story with revenge tale. It’s decidedly not for kids, though. (DJP) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo Gods of Egypt (127 mins.; PG-13) The god of darkness, Set (Gerard Butler), takes over the Egyptian throne and turns the empire into chaos. To the rescue is a young thief who, with the help of the god Horus, seeks to topple Set. Camino Real/Fiesta 5

How to Be Single (110 mins.; R) Watching How to Be Single is like ordering your go-to drink at a bar — say, an Old-Fashioned — and realizing that while all the ingredients are there (a few dashes of bitters, decent whiskey, etc.), you’ve had more satisfying versions of the same cocktail. Like Sex and the City, How to Be Single boasts plenty of shots of its protagonist, paralegal Alice (Dakota Johnson) walking purposefully around New York City in many excellent coats and bonding with charming sidekicks: ob-gyn Meg (Leslie Mann) and exuberant party girl Robin (Rebel Wilson). Unlike its predecessor (which happens to be the former workplace of Liz Tuccillo, writer of the book that the film is based on), it isn’t doing anything new or exciting with those ingredients. (NC) Metro 4 Kung Fu Panda 3 (95 mins.; PG) Po the Panda (voiced by Jack Black) is back. This time he is reunited with his long-lost father, who takes him to a secret panda village. There, Po must train the fun-loving bears into a fighting force. Camino Real (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D) The Lady in the Van (104 mins.; PG-13) Hallucinations crisscross this story (starring Maggie Smith) — alter egos, divine presences, and the like, lifting what is being sold as another geriatric tragicomedy into an art film based on a play based on a real pain-in-the-ass event, and all of it turned into quirky meditations. (DJP) Plaza de Oro Race (134 mins.; PG-13) The title refers to both the occupation of Jesse Owens, legendary track-and-field star and Olympic Gold medalist, and to the fact that he was a black man trying to carve out a life for himself in 1930s America. Like its title, Race is a respectable but not particularly clever piece of work. While the film doesn’t gloss over the discrimination that Owens endured in both Ohio and the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany, it fails to do anything truly transcendent with the material. (NC) Metro 4 The Revenant (156 mins.; R) The Revenant opens thrillingly with a quasi-military fur-trapping march suddenly invaded by Indians we barely see. Director Alejandro González Iñárritu, who made 2014’s astonishing Birdman, remains infatuated with long shots, and we experience the attack as if one of the trappers. You could argue that The Revenant underscores the horrors of the American genocide. Yet it is more like an indictment of our romance with the making of the West, but that’s been

done better so many times, from Little Big Man on, that this seems dull. (DJP)

Paseo Nuevo

O Room

(118 mins.; R)

Maybe it seems like a bad idea for a movie, but Room, made by the deft and adventurous director Lenny Abrahamson (Frank), is at times creepy, thrilling, tender, melodramatic, and in its final moments, suffused with unexpected beauty. The best part is Brie Larson’s performance. This movie about human resilience has its most perfect image here — a woman wishing the traumatic past away even though she’s smart enough to know she can’t. (DJP) Fiesta 5

Son of Saul (107 mins.; R) This film focuses on two days in the life of Saul Ausländer, a Hungarian prisoner in 1944 in Auschwitz. He is made to burn the dead bodies of his own people; when he discovers his son among the dead, he tries to save the body and give him a proper burial. Riviera

O Spotlight

m p 5 11 • Advert

A p r i l 4 ising deadline • noon

(128 mins.; R)

The story begins in 2001 when new Globe editor Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber) reads an alarming column in his own paper that alludes to a priest sexually abusing children with a church apparatus apparently covering for him. Baron directs the Spotlight staff to look into allegations, and the story keeps expanding in horrible dimensions. (DJP) Paseo Nuevo Triple 9 (115 mins.; R) Dirty cops, the Russian mob, a bank heist — this crime/thriller film has it all and stars Casey Affleck, Kate Winslet, and Norman Reedus.

Camino Real/Metro 4

The Witch (92 mins.; R) Don’t believe what you read about The Witch, which is receiving rave reviews for its atmospheric spookiness comingled with historic verisimilitude. In reality, it’s nothing more than sodden silliness, a mix of The Blair Witch Project and some old Smithsonian magazines. There is something genuinely cool about the movie, however: a suspense over the distinction between the fearmongered hysteria of the puritanical, self-flagellating zeitgeist and things that genuinely go bump in the dark. After walking the razor’s edge of this fine line, director Robert Eggers ultimately paints himself into a corner from whence there is no extrication. Rather than stay true to the movie’s authentically somnolent roots, it gives a 21-gun climax of a salute. By that, we are allowed to see the monster. (NW) Metro 4

CANCER

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): Actress Blythe Baird writes about the problem that arises when her dog sees her eating a peanut butter and chocolate chip bagel. Her beloved pet begs for a piece and becomes miserable when it’s not forthcoming. Baird is merely demonstrating her love, of course, because she knows that eating chocolate can make canines ill. I suspect that life is bestowing a comparable blessing on you. You may feel mad and sad about being deprived of something you want. But the likely truth is that you will be lucky not to get it.

(June 21 - July 22): It’s not always necessary to have an expansive view of where you have been and where you are going, but it’s crucial right now. So I suggest that you take an inventory of the big picture. For guidance, study this advice from philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche: “What have you truly loved? What has uplifted your soul, what has dominated and delighted it at the same time? Assemble these revered objects in a row before you and they may reveal a law by their nature and their order: the fundamental law of your very self.”

(Apr. 20 - May 20): “I do not literally paint that table, but rather the emotion it produces upon me,” French artist Henri Matisse told an interviewer. “But what if you don’t always have emotion?” she asked him. This is how Matisse replied: “Then I do not paint. This morning, when I came to work, I had no emotion. So I took a horseback ride. When I returned, I felt like painting, and had all the emotion I wanted.” This is excellent advice for you to keep in mind, Taurus. Even more than usual, it’s crucial that you imbue every important thing you do with pure, strong emotions. If they’re not immediately available, go in quest of them.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Some night soon, I predict you’ll dream of being an enlightened sovereign who presides over an ecologically sustainable paradise. You’re a visionary leader who is committed to peace and high culture, so you’ve never gone to war. You share your wealth with the people in your kingdom. You revere scientists and shamans alike, providing them with what they need to do their good work for the enhancement of the realm. Have fun imagining further details of this dream, Gemini, or else make up your own. Now is an excellent time to visualize a fairy tale version of yourself at the height of your powers, living your dreams and sharing your gifts. Homework: Imagine gazing into the eyes of the person you were 10 years ago. What do you want to say to the Old You? Freewillastrology.com.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22): Sportswear manufacturer Adidas is looking for ways to repurpose trash that humans dump in the oceans. One of its creations is a type of shoe made from illegal deep-sea nets that have been confiscated from poachers. I invite you to get inspired by Adidas’s work. From an astrological perspective, now is a good time to expand and refine your personal approach to recycling. Brainstorm about how you could convert waste and refuse into useful, beautiful resources — not just literally, but also metaphorically. For example, is there a ruined or used-up dream that could be transformed into raw material for a shiny new dream?

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): “There isn’t enough of anything as long as we live,” wrote Raymond Carver.“But at intervals a sweetness appears and, given a chance, prevails.” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Virgo, you’ll soon be gliding through one of these intervals. Now and then you may even experience the strange sensation of being completely satisfied with the quality and amount of sweetness that arrives. To ensure optimal results, be as free from greed as you can possibly be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): “For a wound to heal, you have to clean it out,” says author Yasmin Mogahed.“Again, and again, and again. And this cleaning process stings. The

on clothes, biases that distort the truth, superstitions held with unshakable conviction, or painful memories of romantic breakups. I am happy to let you know that you now have more power than usual to dissolve seemingly indelible stuff like that. Here’s a trick that might help you: Find a new teacher or teaching that uplifts you with indelible epiphanies.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): “The other day, lying in bed,” writes poet Rodger Kamenetz,“I felt my heart beating for the first time in a long while. I realized how little I live in my body, how much in my mind.” He speaks for the majority of us. We spend much of our lives entranced by the relentless jabber that unfolds between our ears. But I want to let you know, Scorpio, that the moment is ripe to rebel against this tendency in yourself. In the coming weeks, you will have a natural talent for celebrating your body. You’ll be able to commune deeply with its sensations, to learn more abut how it works, and to exult in the pleasure it gives you and the wisdom it provides.

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): According to poet Tony Hoagland, most of us rarely “manage to finish a thought or a feeling; we usually get lazy or distracted and quit halfway through.” Why? Hoagland theorizes that we “don’t have the time to complete the process, and we dislike the difficulty and discomfort of the task.” There’s a cost for this negligence: “We walk around full of halffinished experiences.” That’s why Hoagland became a poet. He says that “poems model the possibility of feeling all the way through an emotional process” and “thinking all the way through a thought.” The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get more in the habit of finishing your own feelings and thoughts, Aquarius. It will also be more important than usual that you do so! (Hoagland’s comments appeared in Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): In his “Dream Song 67,” poet John Berryman confesses,“I am obliged to perform in complete darkness operations of great delicacy on my self.” I hope you will consider embarking on similar heroics, Sagittarius. It’s not an especially favorable time to overhaul your environment or try to get people to change in accordance with your wishes. But it’s a perfect moment to spruce up your inner world — to tinker with and refine it so that everything in there works with more grace. And unlike Berryman, you won’t have to proceed in darkness. The light might not be bright, but there’ll be enough of a glow to see what you’re doing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): Here’s the dictionary’s definition of the word “indelible”: “having the quality of being difficult to remove, wash away, blot out, or efface; incapable of being canceled, lost, or forgotten.” The word is often used in reference to unpleasant matters: stains

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): Unless you work at night and sleep by day, you experience the morning on a regular basis. You may have a love-hate relationship with it, because on the one hand, you don’t like to leave your comfortable bed so early, and on the other hand, you enjoy anticipating the interesting events ahead of you. But aside from your personal associations with the morning, this time of day has always been a potent symbol of awakenings and beginnings. Throughout history, poets have invoked it to signify purity and promise. In myth and legend, it often represents the chance to see things afresh, to be free of the past’s burdens, to love life unconditionally. Dream interpreters might suggest that a dream of morning indicates a renewed capacity to trust oneself. All of these meanings are especially apropos for you right now, Pisces.

cleaning of a wound hurts. Yes. Healing takes so much work. So much persistence. And so much patience.” According to my analysis, Libra, you should be attending to this tough but glorious task. Although the work might be hard, it won’t be anywhere near as hard as it usually is. And you are likely to make more progress than you would be able to at other times.

POTTER NO: 16PR00045 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of DEAN S. POTTER A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA BARBARA THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that ELIZABETH POTTER be appointed as personal representatives to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 03/17/2016 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for petitioner (name) TOMER T.

things Left Behind

We’re now in the process of buying our house here in Santa Barbara and are discovering new aspects of this phenomenon. The owner of this house was a serious gardener, and he bequeathed to us the bounty of his many years of toil in the soil. He swears he didn’t know what he was doing at first but learned as he went along. I sincerely hope that’s the case for me, too. I feel unworthy at present, amid the night-blooming cereus, the golden barrel cactus, and all the rest. We also came into some big, beautiful wind chimes dangling high in a redwood. They had become a part of the neighborhood’s musical character. Neighbors were saddened to think of them leaving. Happily, they will stay on duty. And then, of course, there are the bees, who took up residence in a big birdhouse after apparently evicting the sparrows. Bees by the thousands are forever zipping in and out, pollinating flowers throughout our section of town. Would they have to pack up their bee-longings and move on? Thankfully, they will not.

Lots of times, the stuff left behind after the house is sold isn’t so great: biodegrading rugs, ancient paint cans, etc. But sometimes it’s the opposite. Allie Baxter at Marsha Kotlyar Properties in Montecito says it’s usually people moving across the country that leave large items behind. And that was the case in one house in which the new owner found a nice pool table sitting there forlornly.

Address: 105 Ontare Hills Lane Status: On the market Price: $6,395,000

It has a traditional hacienda layout, a large U-shape, framing a central courtyard. The front entrance lies under a long covered terrace. Once inside, the formal dining room is to the right of the foyer, and the living room is to the left. I challenge anyone who glances into the living room not to get pulled in that direction. Despite the charm of the room itself, the view through the huge picture window to the grapevine-draped covered patio, large flagstone terrace, pool, and stunning view beyond is irresistible. I’m sure that I stood with my mouth agape for at least a few seconds. I wanted to get out to that terrace, but I was there to see the house, too. The living room set the tone for the rest of the house, blending rustic hand-hewn beamed ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and authentic hardware and fixtures with elegant grandeur. The size of the rooms continued to impress as I walked through the three bedrooms and two baths in the left wing, including the largest master bath/walk-in closet combo I’ve ever seen. All of the details were striking— striking from the closets and storage to the windows and doors. On the other side of the house lies the kitchen, which is actually made up of multiple rooms, plus the laundry room, two more bedrooms, and two more bathrooms. The kitchen and all of the bathrooms were completely renovated in 2007. They are state-of-the-art and stylish yet don’t take away from the authenticity. Nestled in the center of the house, between the living and din-

ou know you’re not about to visit your average tract home when you’re told, “The gate will be open for you. Just park in the gravel area by the old oxcart, and we’ll come out to meet you.” I had also been warned about secret cabinets (plural) and that the house was an authentic adobe. So I knew I was in for a treat. The gate was open as planned, and, sure enough, there was the oxcart underneath a beautiful old olive tree, waiting for me as I pulled into the large, semi-circular driveway. I was glad to have been given this gentle direction, since there were plenty of options for parking. I noted this as a first difference between this home and some of the estates I have visited recently. In some neighborhoods, multimillion-dollar price tags don’t necessarily ensure plentiful parking. As it turns out, there is nothing crowded about this home. It’s an expansive historic hacienda, named Rancho Dos Alisos, set on almost six acres of land in the hills just above San Roque. Originally purchased from the Arturo Orena family, it was rebuilt in 19391940 using authentic yet reinforced adobe bricks, forming walls that are two feet thick.

Was the new owner happy? “Yeah!” said Baxter. “He was buying the house as an investment, planning to rent it out, so he was very excited.” The buyer had thought the table was part of the staging and expected it to be removed. Instead, he got a nice jump-start on his rental-house game room. “Guess I lucked out,” he reportedly said. ■

hen you buy a house, you’re not just buying a house. There are things that tag along — the shovel lurking in the garage; the hose loyally hanging on the spigot; the resident birds, squirrels, bugs, skunks, raccoons, and whatever in the yard. You also get neighbors. You don’t choose them, but they’re part of the package, and hopefully a good part. Then there are the echoes of past owners. In the basement of my last house, behind a secret panel, I found hundreds of books of the Naughty Nurse Nancy variety. Hmm. I know of one couple who bought a house, moved in, and lived happily until one February afternoon. They sat down, turned on the pregame, and then the doorbell rang. Outside were throngs of people bearing platters of wings and bowls of chips and dips. It turned out they had inherited a Super Bowl party. To their everlasting credit, they simply went with it, becoming accidental hosts of a big annual bash.

ing rooms, is my favorite room: the library. Like many of the rooms, it has double doors opening onto the courtyard and view beyond, but its smaller size and rounded corner fireplace give it a cozier feel. It’s also the room with the secret cabinets, but I won’t give away any details. The house has more than 5,300 square feet of living space, and we haven’t even detailed the pool cabana or the garages, which boast over 1,000 square feet each. The grounds also include a large vegetable garden, a rose garden, an avocado orchard, and an oak forest with winding pathways, beautiful native plantings, and sheltered seating areas throughout. With a view of the entire city, the ocean, and the islands beyond, Rancho Dos Alisos’ romantic hacienda and sprawling acreage are

only three minutes from downtown. This is more than a home for sale; it’s a piece of Santa Barbara history.

n 1852, Dr. Samuel Brinkerhoff, a New York–educated physician, arrived in Santa Barbara to become one of the city’s first resident physicians. By 1865, as Spanish land grants were transitioning into the hands of Anglos, Brinkerhoff acquired a portion of Rancho La Laguna from Octaviano Gutierrez. One of these parcels was located near the

by David and Julie Commons, where they operated a combination residence and health center. In later years, it became home to Jim Smock and his wife, Berka Smock, who was known locally as the “feline philanthropist.” During their ownership, the property operated as a German restaurant called the Redwood Inn before becoming Redwood Antiques and, ultimately, a literal cat house: the Ten Lives Foundation, an orphanage for homeless cats. Though Berka Smock died more than five years ago, her memory lives on through

known as La Patera (The Duck Pond), and this became the name of the ranch. Sherman began to lay out the orchards, planting some 9,700 almond and 3,000 walnut trees. In 1875, he planted 3,000 lemon trees, one of the first commercial plantings of citrus in California. The latter produced prof profitably until the late 1930s. Sherman also developed the ranch’s irrigation system, funneling water down from the mountain streams and springs into a pond (now Lake Los Carneros), where it was stored until needed during the dry season. Success in business came with personal tragedy. Sherman P. Stow died from a stroke in 1907. His eldest son, Sherman H., took up management of La Patera, but he was felled by appendicitis in 1915, when only age 39. The reins of management now fell into the hands of Edgar, a brother of Sherman H. Edgar who proved to be a most innovative rancher. He brought in lemon plantings from Florida, developed a new lemon strain resistant to disease, ran soil tests, developed new insecticides, and experimented with new root stocks. Many of his innovations became standard practice in the citrus industry. Edgar also served in the State Assembly and the State Senate; he was a key figure in establishing the state’s community college system and in opposing sales tax on essentials, such as food. During World War I, he served

ros Road, built by Sherman P. Stow in 1872-73, was the home of one of the Goleta Valley’s most prominent families. The paterfamilias of this family was William Whitney Stow. A native of New York, Stow practiced law in that state until coming to California in 1852. He farmed in Santa Cruz County, got involved in politics, served two terms in the State Assembly, and became speaker of that body. In 1856, he opened a law office in San Francisco and eventually became chief counsel for the Southern Pacific Railroad. He also served eight years as San Francisco’s park commissioner and was instrumental in developing Golden Gate Park. Stow Lake is named in his honor. W.W. Stow decided to buy a ranch for his son, Sherman, and turned for advice to W.W. Hollister, whom he had met while serving in the Assembly. Hollister owned the Glen Annie Ranch in the Goleta Valley and urged Stow to seek property there. In 1872, Stow purchased 1,043 acres from Rosa Senter, the remarried widow of Daniel Hill, for $28,600. Sherman then turned to the task of developing a farm, while his father supplied the labor, the equipment, and an endless stream of advice and directives. W.W. Stow also supplied the redwood lumber, which was floated ashore for the ranch house. The area was already

intersection of present-day Haley and De la Vina streets. When Brinkerhoff died in 1883, his widow, Lucy Brinkerhoff, sold the acreage to various land speculators. One of those property investors was Henry Tallant, an Englishman at birth, who, along with his business associate Edward Harper, began subdividing the land into 50× 125 lots, of which a portion became Brinkerhoff Avenue. As time progressed, Tallant ultimately bought out Harper and sold the parcels himself. This house, constructed in 1887, was one of the first three residences to be established on the street. Built in the Stick-Eastlake style, it is believed to be the work of famed Santa Barbara architect Peter J. Barber. The property has served many functions over the years, often doubling in residential and commercial enterprises. In the 1920s and ’30s, resident owner Calista Savage Morris operated the home as her personal residence and partial boarding house. In the late 1970s, the home was renovated

as food administrator for Santa Barbara County and later served as an officer of the Johnston Fruit Company, one of the largest packing companies in this area. When Edgar died in 1949, a nephew, Garrett Van Horne, took over the ranch. In 1967, the family sold the southern half of the ranch to developers but retained ownership of Stow House. The county then

bought the land upon which the house sat, and the family in turn donated the house to the county. Today, Stow House and its surrounding buildings are operated as a museum complex, and it serves as the headquarters for the Goleta Valley Historical Society.

s we increasingly experience summer weather during winter months, some Santa Barbarans are deciding to add air conditioning to their homes. The downside is that air conditioning draws significant electrical power that is generated mostly from fossil fuels, thus exacerbating the warming that this equipment is designed to counter, at least indoors. Even when powered by renewable energy, the production of any AC equipment can use a lot of resources. So if not air conditioning, then what other options make sense? One possibility is adding exterior shading devices over windows that are by Dennis Allen bathed in the sun’s heat. These devices include fixed eyebrow extensions; trellises (with or without deciduous vines); vertical louvers or fins for east- and west-facing windows; canvas awnings that are fixed, manually adjustable, or even motorized; or mesh solar shades that slide in vertical tracks on either side of the window, which can cut out as much as 80 percent of the heat. These exterior shading strategies are more effective than interior-shading blinds or curtains and can dramatically reduce building peak heat gain while also improving visual comfort by controlling glare and reducing contrast ratios. Another option is to change the glass in south-facing windows to high-performance glazing, which greatly reduces the need for exterior shading elements. To carry out this change, sometimes just the glass panels in old windows can be swapped out. At other times, the entire window frame and sash need to be replaced to get optimal performance. This latter approach is expensive but does have advantages beyond just keeping unwanted heat out. Top-performing windows can also attenuate outside noise and keep the place warmer on cold winter days. Putting an operable window in a key location, where perhaps none existed before, can allow residents to open a house to cool early-morning air on hot days, thereby implementing an effective natural cooling strategy. You might also want to consider adding insulation to your existing walls and attic. In most cases, this is less expensive than installing air conditioning equipment and helps to keep the house not only cool but also quiet (or warm when desired). It definitely saves on heating and cooling bills. There are at least five materials and approaches to insulating existing houses: loose-fill cellulose, densepacked cellulose, loose-fill fiberglass, dense-packed fiberglass, and injection foam. Application skill is important for achieving a complete, high-performance thermal barrier, so getting the help of a professional is advisable. A final, low-cost cooling option is to install Casablanca ceiling fans in the main rooms of a house. These don’t lower temperatures, but they do move air, making us feel cooler. If a room has a central ceiling light, a combined fan-light fixture can easily replace it. Be sure to explore these options before automatically turning to air conditioning.

o reduce water use every time you turn on the faucet, install efficient faucet aerators. Look for 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm) for kitchens and 0.5 gpm for bathrooms. By reducing use from the standard 2.2 gpm faucet, says the U.S. EPA, a household could save as much as 700 gallons of water a year. And since much of that water is hot, this also saves in heating costs. A WaterSense label means you’re doing your part. —Madeline Ward, City of Santa Barbara, Public Works
