We Are Friends Of Chumash Nonprofits in Santa Barbara County work tirelessly to make our community stronger. But funding is always the primary challenge for organizations like ours. Through its Foundation, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has helped minimize that challenge by being a strategic community partner. The Chumash Foundation has stepped up to the plate and been there for us and many other local nonprofits when we needed them the most. That’s why I stand with the many in our community who say… “we are friends of Chumash.”

“Catsuits, furkinis, hoods, superhero capes, flapjack onesies, fur coats with lights,” Megan Illgner rattled off. She loves to sew and design costumes and tailors and mends, as well. The Indy’s editorial designer has had her paws deep in faux fur and sparkles for the past decade or so, developing a “clothing line that caters to music and arts festivals.” From Wakarusa in her hometown Lawrence, Kansas, to Lucidity out in the Santa Ynez Valley, Megan’s bedecked festivalgoers young and old with her Santa Barbara Seamstress creations (see sbseamstress.com). She says Women’s Economic Ventures “helped me figure out my sewing business” —for which her world headquarters down at SBCAST is tailor-made.

he announcement was a shocker: Last June, Dos Pueblos High School’s esteemed Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy (DPEA) abruptly retired its award-winning robotics team. Just like that, dozens of schoolkids had lost their robot baby before it had even been born. While most of the students simply shrugged and dove into the academy’s replacement curriculum— a multidisciplinary mechatronics program — a handful of kids couldn’t shake the loss. So, last fall — independent of DPEA and privately bankrolled by an impressive lineup of individuals and corporate sponsors—they created their own robotics team. They call themselves Riviera Robotics, and their creation BARN BUILD: Kally Zheng (center) and Riviera Robotics with Team 5818 practice (blue) and competition robots. — essentially a remote-control tank that can spin on a dime, scramble over and a quarter-scale replica of the champion- keeping it going organized themselves and obstacles, and shoot baskets with Curry- ship game field.

Criminal Charge for Shooting threat threat

by K e i t h h a m m ack-to-back shooting threats made by a female student at Goleta Valley Junior High School have prompted the Santa Barbara County Sheriff ’s Office to recommend a criminal charge against the 8th grader. On April 11 in class, the student said, “I’m gonna shoot up this school,” a threat she repeated on social media after school. While the first instance was handled internally by the school’s administration — the student was required to apologize to her class — her follow-up threat via Snapchat was reported by a parent to the Sheriff’s Office that evening. During a home visit, “deputies determined the student did not have access to firearms and had parental supervision,” according 8

to Sheriff Public Information Officer Kelly Hoover.“At that time, it was determined there was no immediate threat to the school.” The student was not arrested. The next morning on campus, a deputy reported the Snapchat threat to Principal Veronica Rogers, who subsequently reported both threats to Santa Barbara Unified School District, according to Assistant Superintendent Frann Wageneck. While the student was reportedly suspended for five days,Wageneck, bound by confidentiality laws for juveniles, could not comment on whether the threats were grounds for expulsion. As for Rogers’s handling of the initial threat, Wageneck said, “We can’t comment on matters related to personnel.” Rogers did not return requests for comment. independent.com

According to the latest version of the school’s 24-page safety plan — approved by the district last month — the student’s “terrorist threats” violated the California Education Code. The safety plan also includes an extensive preparedness checklist, based on state, federal, and local law-enforcement guidelines, according to Wageneck. One item on the checklist reads, “Do all members of the school community know that any threat, or information about a potential threat, must be reported? And do they understand that there is no such thing as a threat intended as a joke?” That item is marked “Y[es].” The case is en route to the Santa Barbara County Probation Department’s Juvenile Services Division and the District Attorney’s n Office.

Robotics team Goes Rogue

news briefs Registered sex offender Christopher Coates, 41, of Carpinteria, faces life in prison without parole after he was charged with making and receiving child pornography via Kik Messenger, shortly after serving prison time for prior child pornography convictions. Coates pleaded not guilty 4/14 in Los Angeles district court to nine felonies in the federal indictment. In 2010, he served time in County Jail for sexually assaulting a seriously disabled female adult at a caretaking facility where he worked. In a 180-degree turn, county supervisors and Families ACT! mental health advocates this week praised the County Jail’s new grievance coordinator, Lt. Mark Mahurin, after condemning the sheriff two months ago for hiring the retired longtime custody staffer to audit complaints filed by inmates. The position was instated after months of sharp criticism of the County Jail and its healthcare provider, Corizon Health, Inc. In 2016’s first quarter, Mahurin reported 131 medical and mental-health grievances. Of those, 87 have been resolved, 27 need follow-up, and one refused treatment. Undersheriff Barney Melekian said next quarter they would analyze how those numbers compare to other California jails.

COUNTY Battling a proposal to develop 60 homes on the 14-acre land parcel known as the Shelby property, Goleta residents and half a dozen community organizations on 4/19 formed the Shelby Foothills Coalition. Under Goleta’s 2006 General Plan, members say, the property north of Cathedral Oaks Road and bordering Glen Annie Golf Club is zoned for agriculture rather than housing. Voicing environmental concerns — specifically inadequate water supply — and predicting financial burden on the city, the group is organizing at StopShelby.org. The county supervisors voted 4-1 to place a hotel-bed-tax measure — up to 12 percent from 10 percent — on the November ballot. The jump would apply to unincorporated areas of the county and is the same as in the cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta. If passed, the jump would translate into a $2 million annual increase to the general fund. Supervisor Steve Lavagnino argued it “is a perfect example of a time when a tax actually makes sense,” noting he “would have liked to do this four years ago.” The sole dissenter, Supervisor Peter Adam, contended the measure fails to tell “the people what we are spending the money on.” In 2014, during notably low voter turnout, a similar measure was shot down by 58 percent of voters. Efforts to “rebrand” Isla Vista in the eyes of greater Santa Barbara met backlash on 4/14 from community members who claimed the campaign reinforced long-held perceptions of the town as a hub for crime and destruction.

Retired Santa Barbara judge George Eskin was Judge George Eskin just appointed to the 13-member state panel established to direct the expenditure of money saved by releasing inmates convicted of nonviolent, nonserious crimes from state prisons in accordance with Proposition 47, the California ballot initiative passed in November 2014. Since going into effect, Prop. 47 has released 4,598 inmates. It currently costs $63,800 a year to keep an inmate in prison. According to the initiative, a portion of the savings generated by reducing prison populations is to be spent on various programs designed to keep those released from reoffending. The Board of State and Community Corrections, to which Eskin was appointed, is charged with drafting the criteria by which grant applications for such efforts will be judged; it will also evaluate grant proposals once they start rolling in. “It’s an intensive amount of work,” said Tracie Cone, spokesperson for the committee. Cone noted that five of Eskin’s committee members served time behind bars themselves and will bring that firsthand experience to the table. Eskin has worked as a prosecuting attorney, a criminal defense attorney, and judge. In addition, he was an outspoken proponent of Prop. 47 in Santa Barbara County, arguing with the likes of District Attorney Joyce Dudley and Sheriff Bill Brown, who believed it was a bad idea. Cochair of the committee is Leticia Perez — a UCSB graduate who now serves on the Kern County Board of Supervisors. One of the first challenges will be to figure out how much money Prop. 47 actually saves. Governor Jerry Brown says it’s $29 million, but the Legislative Analyst’s Office said the true savings is $100 million more than that. Coincidentally, Prop. 47 was before the Santa Barbara supervisors this week. “Now, it’s the law but not yet the new normal,” said county executive officer Joseph Toney. By that, Toney meant it’s too soon to say what effect Prop. 47 has had on criminal caseloads and the County Jail population. Initially, prosecuting attorneys and public defenders found themselves swamped by 1,750 petitions from prisoners seeking to convert felony convictions to misdemeanors. The vast majority were granted. Since Prop. 47 was passed, the number of felony charges filed has dropped by almost 1,000 and the number of misdemeanors increased by 1,200. Of those resentenced under Prop. 47, 483 were charged —NickWelsh on new drug or theft counts within the first year.

EDUCATION Some 300 UCSB students marched 4/14 at noon from Davidson Library to People’s Park in Isla Vista as a sequel to November’s Million Student March. Protestors demanded free tuition at public universities, student debt relief, university divestment from private prisons, and a $15 minimum wage on campus. Organized by a group of student leaders, the demonstration was part of the national #MillionStudentMarch movement rallying for social change. Specifically, UCSB’s march responded to recent controversial chalk messages on campus. San Marcos High School senior Luke Tricase joined an elite group of test-takers — less than one percent, nationally — with a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, a leading college-admissions standardized test that covers English, math, reading, and science. In other good education news, San Marcos High School’s Alexis Villa-Tavera was one of 30 high school seniors statewide to receive a $40,000 scholarship from Southern California Edison as part of its Scholars Program. “I walked into

The six-hour event will feature a Q&A from the audience and questions submitted by the school’s faculty and staff. The finalists are San Diego City College President Anthony Beebe; Barbara Kavalier, president of Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas; Lake Tahoe Community College President Kindred Murillo; Melinda Nish, president of Southwestern College in Chula Vista; and Modesto Junior College President Jill Stearns. SBCC’s Board of Trustees is expected to make the appointment by 7/1. n

uring one of the worst droughts on record, San Ysidro Ranch in the Montecito foothills has paid more than $250,000 in penalties to the Montecito Water District for using too much water, exceeding its allocation in 19 of the past 24 months, records show. Now the 500-acre luxury hotel owned by Beanie Babies magnate Ty Warner faces an additional $57,000 penalty for December, one of the largest assessed by the water district in the drought. The hotel manager is appealing the charge, alleging that an underground leak went undiscovered until late in the month because it pooled on a neighboring property. Beginning in March 2014, according to a district memorandum, San Ysidro Ranch was assigned an allocation of more than 12 million gallons of water per year, or roughly what 170 Montecitans would use. On average, the hotel has exceeded its allocation by 20 percent each year for the past two years, resulting in heavy penalties.“It is sometimes a business decision by the customer,” said water district board director Doug Morgan. “It could be cheaper for them than trucking water in.”

Under district ordinances, the general manager can install a flow restrictor on the service lines of any property that exceeds its monthly allocation by more than 25 percent, as San Ysidro Ranch has done nine times during the past two years. The district also can reduce a customer’s yearly allocation by the amount of overuse during the previous year. But Morgan said the board has never enforced these sanctions. “We’re a small, friendly district,” he said. San Ysidro Ranch representatives did not respond to a reporter’s emails seeking comment. The San Ysidro Ranch appeal is one of 400 that the district has fielded from customers since it established a system of monthly allocations and penalties for water overuse two years ago. Since then, the district’s 13,500 residents in Montecito, Summerland, and Toro Canyon have cut demand by more than 40 percent overall, most months of the year. To date, records show, the district has collected $7.4 million in penalties, mostly from the owners of single-family homes. The penalties, in turn, have paid the $4.1 million cost of supplemental California aqueduct water imported by the district to make ends meet. n

drought Watch: blob Pummels Godzilla

by N i C K W e l S h he much anticipated El Niño rains — dubbed “Godzilla” by meteorologists — left Santa Barbara and the rest of Southern California high and dry, and was effectively deterred from any significant deposits by a high pressure system known as “The Blob.” Although Santa Barbara has received 72 percent its annual average rainfall thus far this year, Lake Cachuma — the single biggest water supply for 200,000 South Coast residents — got no runoff. “In terms of new water, it was zero,” lamented county water czar Tom Fayram. The volume of water left in Lake Cachuma is either “carryover” water that was not used the previous year because of conservation efforts or “dead pool” water, the absolute minimum that federal rules require be kept in the lake. The only new supplies coming into Cachuma at this point are deliveries from the independent.com

state water system. In scorching heat, those deliveries barely keep pace with evaporation. Joshua Haggmark, water czar for the City of Santa Barbara, said he expects the carryover water to be used up by this coming October, about the time the city’s new desalination plant is scheduled to begin operations. “This is officially the driest five years on record for Santa Barbara County,” Haggmark said. If water customers continue achieving 35 percent conservation rates — soon to be adopted by City Hall as Santa Barbara’s required goal — Haggmark said the city should make it through the summer. Conservation gets tougher during the hotter summer months, however, when trees, lawns, and landscaping are more dependent upon irrigation. Lake Cachuma is currently at 15 percent capacity but less than half of that is available for use. And City Hall’s backup reservoir — at Gibraln tar — got only half its annual average.

Salud Carbajal

Helene Schneider

big bucks for 24th

In the race to represent the 24th congressional district, Salud Carbajal continues to lead the pack in fundraising, raking in roughly $313,000 in the first quarter of 2016. That brings Carbajal to nearly $1.7 million total money raised, with just over $1 million cash on hand. Last quarter, his chief Democratic rival, Helene Schneider, raised $96,800, bringing her total to $577,042. She has $241,600 in her war chest. But those figures significantly overstate how much they can spend before the June 7 primary election. In the last two weeks, Carbajal unveiled two ads. The first shows him walking along the beach with his wife, meeting with constituents, and talking with supporters of Planned Parenthood (Schneider supporters emphasize the Planned Parenthood local chapter has not endorsed either candidate). Four days later, Schneider convened a press conference to demand Carbajal take his new TV ad down, charging it presented an exaggeratedly rosy picture of county finances while not acknowledging the looming challenges. Schneider objected Carbajal took credit for the county’s balanced budget, high solid credit ratings, and $4.5 million in allocated reserves. And she complained it failed to acknowledge the hundreds of millions of dollars the county confronts in unmet capital needs. Carbajal dismissed the media event as “disappointing,” noting that the county supervisors are now squirreling away 18 percent of annual general fund revenues on the county’s maintenance backlog. Carbajal said he does not intend to remove the ads. The second ad shows clips of Donald Trump speaking, followed by Carbajal dismissing the bombastic Republican frontrunner’s style as “not how we do things on the Central Coast.” Schneider, meanwhile, said she has an ad going up soon. On the Republican side, Justin Fareed also hit the $1 million mark total. Last quarter, he brought in $182,428. He has $727,800 cash on hand. Establishment favorite Katcho Achadjian, meanwhile, brought in about a quarter of a million dollars in the last three months, bringing his total raised to $631,000. Of that, he has $400,000 cash on hand. Matt Kokkonen, who has run for office, loaned himself $210,500, bringing his cash on hand total to nearly $200,000, enough to stay the course. —KelseyBrugger Nick Welsh contributed to this report.

Already frayed relations between developer Ed St. George and neighbors of his 97-unit Beach City student housing complex on the Mesa unraveled further this week after city officials publicly disclosed a laundry list of construction violations at the property, including the removal of 32 mature eucalyptus trees that provided habitat for overwintering monarch butterflies. City planners also cited St. George — who’s been routinely criticized by nearby residents for hosting noisy, rowdy tenants and morphing the neighborhood into a mini Isla Vista, where he also owns properties — for installing without permits an outdoor gym, exterior lighting, entryway columns, and a street-side stairway. Planners are demanding those additions be removed and that he be fined. Other unauthorized work, such as new landscaping and parking reconfiguration, must now be permitted after the fact, they said. St. George is scheduled to appear before the Planning Commission this Thursday to address the issues. Neighbor Sue Mellor, one of Beach City’s most vocal critics, blasted St. George for running a bait-and-switch on City Hall. “This tells me he has enough money and enough pull to do whatever he wants,” she said. Mellor said the violations don’t bode well for St. George’s proposal to build housing on the site to accommodate 1,000 more Santa Barbara City College students. “He’s not to be trusted on any future projects,” she charged. Another neighbor, Jeanne Surber, lamented the lack of oversight, as well as the loss of monarch habitat. She had just returned from Earth Day celebrations at Alameda Park when she learned the full scope of the violations. “Earth Day started in Santa Barbara, and we have this idea that we’re so environmentally proactive, but then we let this go at a policy level,” she said. “[St. George] knew full well it was better to ask forgiveness than permission.” For his part, St. George said the permitting discrepancies center on zoning, setback, and jurisdictional confusion. He explained inspectors have been on and off the property since he started removing trees and making additions over nine months beginning July 2014. “It wasn’t like I was sneaking things by,” he said. St. George also stated the eucalyptus trees posed a fire hazard and were used by homeless to hide their encampments. In their place, he’s planted 60 live oaks. He said he plans to tell planning commissioners this Thursday: “Sorry we did it, but we’re sure you would have approved [the work] anyway.” St. George also aims to make the past Beach City work and the future development proposal as transparent as he can. “We want to —TylerHayden get it crystal clear.”

New Research Reveals Startling Gulf Between Voters and Nonvoters

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

mid the Mainstream Media’s ceaseless jabber and prattle, the biggest untold story of the 2016 election hides in plain sight: why it matters that half the population doesn’t vote. Beyond a few bouts of insipid editorial page hand-wringing, major news organizations routinely gloss over the baleful fact that U.S. presidents invariably win election with the consent of just a fraction of a fraction of citizens. In 2012, for example, when 222 million adults were eligible to do so, only 130 million registered; of these, 66 million supported President Obama. Although this gave him an Electoral College landslide, this big victory actually totaled less than 30 percent of the population. In California, the president crushed Republican challenger Mitt Romney — and walked away with the backing of a mere 27 percent of adult citizens. This kind of arithmetic is par for the course in political campaigns, to be sure. What is far less understood, and far more consequential, however, are the gaping economic and demographic distinctions between those who vote and those who do not—and the broad differences between them on policies they believe government should pursue, from taxation to health care. Now comes the Public Policy Institute of California with a new, widely overlooked study that provides a wealth of new data offering a glimpse of the implications of the voter-nonvoter divide; among other things, it concludes that California’s “voters have become unrepresentative of its population.” Key findings: ETHNICITY: California’s adult population breaks down this way: 42 percent white, 36 percent Latino, 14 percent Asian, 6 percent black, and 3 percent other. This sharply contrasts with the demographics of likely voters, as measured by the study: While Asian and African-American likely voters are roughly equal to their numbers in the population, 60 percent of voters are white and just 18 percent are Latino — while 60 percent of nonvoters are Latino and only 22 percent are white. ECONOMICS: More than two-thirds of

Californians who vote (68 percent) are 45 or older and own their own homes, while a majority (55 percent) have an annual household of income of $60,000 or more. This is a near mirror image of nonvoters, who are younger than 45 and rent (67 and 66 percent, respectively) and overwhelmingly report

incomes of less than $60,000 (80 percent). Further, 71 percent of likely voters describe themselves as middle class, upper-middle class, or upper class while only 50 percent of nonvoters do so. At a time when political campaigns often focus on the issue of wealth disparity, two-thirds of adult Californians say they live in a two-tiered society, but 50 percent of voters identify more with the “haves” than “have nots” (34 percent), a stark comparison with nonvoters — 53 percent “have-nots” and 31 percent “haves.” POLITICS: Voters and nonvoters also have very different ideas about what government should do about poverty and inequality. Only a slight majority of voters (51 percent compared to 44 percent) believe the government should do more to address the issue, while 70 percent of nonvoters hold that belief. When asked if government should make sure that all Californians have an equal opportunity to get ahead, voters were closely divided — 46 percent to 46 percent; not so with nonvoters, who overwhelmingly want government to be more active in doing so—58 percent to 37 percent. As a practical matter, the numbers shed light on the anger, frustration, and resentment against the political status quo, which have helped fueled the outsider campaigns of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. Heading off this resentment also helps explain why politicians in Sacramento recently have enacted policies like an increased minimum wage and the state’s new Earned Income Tax Credit for the poor, as well as policies to boost voter participation, such as automatic registration at DMV offices. Said Mark Baldassare, author of the PPIC study: “The divide between voters and nonvoters appears to be deep, persistent, and difficult to bridge.”

TRUMP’S NOT-SO-GOLDEN STATE: Any doubt that Donald Trump is months behind Republican rival Ted Cruz in organizing for California’s June 7 primary was erased with word last week that he only now has hired a state coordinator, veteran GOP Sacto hand Tim Clark. What’s more telling is that Clark disclosed, in an interview with political writer Joe Garofoli, that he’s never met Trump: “‘No, we haven’t met,’ Tim Clark said 24 hours after taking the gig. He caught the Trump campaign’s attention after writing [an] opinion piece … where he compared Trump to Teddy Roosevelt, saying, ‘Conservatives want someone who will knock some heads and stop the madness in Washington.’” Madness, indeed. n independent.com

‘stealth’ Water demand Fuels Goleta Growth during drought

News of the Week

Ban on New Hookups Doesn’t Apply to Developers with Historical Credit

by M e l i N d a B u r N s t was a rare victory for Goleta’s beleaguered slowgrowth movement when the California Highway Patrol dropped its plans this winter for a headquarters on Hollister Avenue near Ellwood School. Hundreds of west Goleta residents opposed the project, and the Goleta Water District rejected its application for water service, citing a moratorium on new connections. “The water district had been quite firm, and I think that was a big obstacle,” said Robert Miller, an Ellwood newcomer who led the opposition. When the CHP withdrew, he said, “We were ecstatic.” The CHP project, however, has been the exception and not the rule, as Goleta’s real estate boom continues virtually unchecked under a district-declared water-shortage emergency. Records show that while the district is urging residents — among the thriftiest in the state — to further reduce their water use in the fifth year of a severe drought, it has signed off on water service for more than 600 future homes and apartments, 165 housing units at UCSB, and a dozen homeowner swimming pools, spas, and Jacuzzis. According to district officials, the applicants for these projects have preexisting water entitlements dating back from the 1980s to 1950s—a confusing patchwork of reclaimable meters, unused permits, outstanding “will serve” letters, and historical water-service agreements—that exempt them from the moratorium. The district calls it “stealth demand.” “It’s factored into our plan for future build-out,” said Ryan Drake, district water supply and conservation manager. “It’s not a new entitlement. It’s additional demand we’re obligated to serve and can’t cut off.” Even in a severe drought? asks Donna Hone, who served on the district board for 10 years in the 1970s and ’80s.“They have absolutely run amok,” Hone said.“We have no water, and they are handing out will-serve letters like popcorn. They’re putting us in a huge deficit position. Where is the water coming from? It really is alarming.” During the last water moratorium in the Goleta Valley, from 1972-1996, with a few voter-approved exceptions, the district halted new hookups and stopped processing applications.“We declared an emergency, and there was no way we could lift the restrictions on new connections,” Hone said. In 1991, at the end of the last drought, Goleta Valley voters approved a ballot measure requiring their district to halt new

A DEAL’S A DEAL: During a moratorium on new connections, the Goleta Water District confirmed service for UCSB’s 165-unit San Joaquin Apartments project, now under construction. UCSB can lay legal claim to half of the area’s unused “stealth demand,” based on a 1973 permit with the district and a later water agreement with the Bishop Ranch. Goleta also signed off on water service for more than 600 new private homes and apartments.

water connections whenever it cut back its allocation from Lake Cachuma, the main water supply for the South Coast. The current moratorium was triggered when all South Coast water agencies agreed to a 55 percent cut, beginning October 1, 2014. By then, the lake was two-thirds empty. During this moratorium, the district has confirmed water service for such projects as the Old Town Village (175 apartments near Hollister Avenue, approved by the city last fall); Willow Springs Heritage Ridge (360 apartments near Los Carneros Road, under city review); San Joaquin Apartments (165 units of UCSB housing under construction on Storke Road), and most of Shelby (60 luxury homes on a former avocado orchard at Cathedral Oaks Road, under city review). In all, Drake said, 915 acre-feet of unused stealth demand is still outstanding in the valley. UCSB can lay claim to more than half of it. Another 40 percent is pledged to two dozen landowners who, in the 1980s, were allowed to trade agricultural wells and private water companies for district allocations in what is now western Goleta. All of the wells failed. “We find ourselves obligated by a variety of water agreements, or contracts, written over the 75-year history of the district,” said Lauren Hanson, Goleta water board president.“Some of those are ones we certainly wouldn’t write today.” The district has accepted applications totaling more than 150 acre-feet of stealth demand — not much, Drake said, compared to 10,100 acre-feet that the district’s 87,000 customers are projected to use this year. “It’s a negligible difference in terms of overall supply,” he said. But tell that to residents who have cut back drastically on flushing, laundering, and watering as the drought drags on. “Developers get to make a nice profit while we sit here and watch our plants die and worry about taking a shower,” said Barbara Massey, a member of the Westside Goleta Coalition and The Goodland Coalition, both slow-growth advocacy groups. “It’s really very discouraging. I don’t think the water district is doing as good a job as it should. There’s a real temptation among some people to say, ‘Why should I save water for them?’” Last month, the City of Goleta reported that 16 projects have been approved or are under construction, largely in western Goleta, for a total of two new hotels, one assisted living facility, 1,101 homes and apartments, and 452,500 square feet

of commercial space. That’s in addition to 200 homes built in Goleta last year. Goleta “The Good Land” is fast becoming Goleta “The Crowded Land,” residents say. “This is a semi-arid area and can’t support all of this population,” said long-timer Bob Harris. “They have the audacity to tell everyone to conserve, yet they go right on building.” Drake and Hanson said the building boom was out of the district’s hands.“We’re not the growth agency; we’re the water agency,” Drake said.“We don’t approve the projects.” Yet in September 2013, when Cachuma was half empty and other South Coast agencies favored an across-theboard cut in allocations, the Goleta Water District said no, effectively delaying its moratorium for a year. The district said it was protecting its customers’ pocketbooks: Cachuma is its cheapest water source. But the decision also spurred a rush on water-service applications —21 in all—as the lake level continued to drop. The district collected $2.6 million in water-supply charges from these applicants in 2014, right up to the October 1 deadline. In the pre-moratorium rush, the district signed off on water service for such projects as the Village at Los Carneros, (465 units of affordable housing under construction off Los Carneros); Cavaletto Tree Farm (134 homes under construction at 555 Las Perlas Drive); and Cortona Apartments (176 affordable rentals at 6830 Cortona Drive, also approved by the city.) The water service for much of the recent development under construction, approved or under review in the City of Goleta, including Cortona, Cavaletto, Willow Springs, Village at Los Carneros, and Old Town Village, is based on the old well exchanges. The wells are still not in use today; the water quality is poor. In the late 1980s, Citizens for Goleta Valley, a slow-growth advocacy group, filed a lawsuit against the well owners and lost. Said Drake,“People have suggested that we could choose not to honor these agreements. That would be a foolish choice.” But Russell Ruiz, the district general counsel from 19912007, believes there were other options. “They could have said they wouldn’t activate any new meters until the drought is over,” he said. “They could have stopped all the building at UCSB, too. We have all this massive construction going on, n and we are running out of water.”

Every Dog Has His Day

ANYBODY BUT TRUMP: It doesn’t much matter that famous bank robber Willie Sutton denied ever saying,“Because that’s where

the money is,” when asked why he robbed banks. History has a way of remembering things the way it likes. Good thing because that’s the only conceivable explanation why GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz is coming to Montecito next Saturday to hang out at the manse of Carl’s Jr. mogul Andrew Puzder. For the record, Santa Barbara is not Cruz country. The fire-and-brimstone/you’re-allgoing-to-hell politics espoused by Cruz are violently at odds with Santa Barbara’s squishier brand of Republicanism, far more concerned about capital gains taxes than who’s sleeping with whom. But these are dark days for Establishment Republicans like Puzder, such the quintessential Insider that his diatribes against raising the minimum wage appear in the Wall Street Journal with drumbeat regularity. This year Puzder has already made at least $332,000 in political campaign donations, writing checks to a host of failed presidential aspirants, including Rick Perry, Scott Walker, Carly Fiorina, Jeb Bush, and most recently Marco Rubio. With this paper trail, we can safely assume Puzder is part of the Anybody-but-Trump movement galvanizing the Establishment wing of the GOP. Clearly, he doesn’t believe Ohio Governor John Kasich — whose style and positions are most in sync with Santa Barbara — can derail

the Donald. Hence the Cruz fundraiser. With Trump stomping his way to decisive victory in this week’s New York primary, California primary voters — for the first time since 1976 — actually matter. Cruz didn’t merely lose New York; he was chased out, despite pledging the most unconditional support imaginable to the State of Israel. Cruz, a devout fundamentalist Christian, personifies the premillennial dispensationalist strand of Protestant thought that holds the Second Coming of Christ — a k a The Rapture — cannot occur unless the Jewish Temple that once existed on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is rebuilt. Making this problematic, at least from an American foreign policy perspective, the temple in question existed on what’s now the West Bank of Jerusalem. And that is currently occupied by the Palestinians. In some tellings, the Rapture cannot take place until a red heifer is sacrificed, as well. Where Cruz stands on the red heifer issue — I am told breeding experiments are now underway to create a biblically acceptable red cow — I don’t pretend to know. His support for Israel, however, is unquestionably absolute. But none of this impressed New York voters, or the headline writers of the Daily News who told Cruz to take the “F U Train” out of town. After coming in a distant third even to Kasich, Cruz will soon be riding the “F U” train all the way to Andy Puzder’s house in Montecito. Puzder was most recently in the news

paid $17,000 a day while many of his employees make about $15,000 a year. In the context of fast-food-industry norms, that’s not quite as bad as it looks. If these numbers are accurate, it means Puzder makes 291 times more than his lowest paid worker. The industry average is 721, making Puzder a model of restraint. The Puzder-Cruz connection might appear more desperate and incongruous than it really is. After all, back in the 1980s, Puzder — then a Missouri trial lawyer — helped champion an anti-abortion bill that declared life begins at conception. Though the bill never mentioned abortion, it effectively prohibited any state employee from assisting in the provision of one. The legality of the law was challenged; the case went all the way to the Supreme Court; it was upheld by a 5-to-4 majority. Likewise, the Affordable Care Act — a k a Obamacare — has had few critics as loud and passionate as Puzder. Excepting, of course, for Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz is most famous for his incessant efforts to shut the federal government down — much to the eventual embarrassment of GOP leadership — but his aim was always to achieve the repeal of Obamacare. Who can forget his 21-hour marathon anti-Obamacare speech — a filibuster by any other name — during which he read Dr. Seuss’s immortal masterpiece, Green Eggs and Ham, out loud. Though I won’t be there next Saturday, I’m guessing Puzder will offer guests platters of green eggs and ham. Obviously, they’ll be delivered by a flotilla of skinny supermodels licking their fingers. Ah, the Rapture! — Nick Welsh

announcing his company — CKE Restaurants — would be moving from its Carpinteria headquarters to Nashville, Tennessee. Although Puzder was a bigger-than-life trial attorney in a previous incarnation — of unquestionable intellectual prowess — California’s labor laws have proved too complicated for him. In the past eight years, CKE has been forced to pay $20 million to settle multiple class-action claims — many alleging wholesale and premeditated failure to pay managers the overtime to which they are entitled — filed in California. Beyond that, Puzder and CKE are perhaps most famous for accelerating the strumpification of American culture. What else do you call 11 years of TV ads showing scantily clad supermodels

with various condiments dripping down their chins performing fellatio on their fingers? CKE, it should be noted, is more than Carl’s Jr. It’s also Hardee’s, Green Burrito, and a few other franchises with about 3,600 outlets and about 20,000 employees nationwide. If national fast-food pay trends hold true for these workers, about 90 percent were making less than $9 an hour until a few minutes ago. With the minimum wage the hot sexy issue among Democrats — chronic wage stagnation being a harsh reality even the most conservative economists acknowledge — Puzder is leading the rhetorical charge against efforts to bring the bottom up. Should the federal minimum wage increase, he’s talking about automation. Critics have objected Puzder is

Carmen Ramirez 07/20/28-04/12/16

Carmen M. Ramirez, 87, of Santa Barbara went to be with our Lord on April 12 after a long struggle with dementia, surrounded by her family. A Santa Barbara local, she was born to her parents Eduardo and Elvira Gonzalez on July 20, 1928. She married her husband, Gilbert Ramirez, also a Santa Barbara native, on May 7, 1950. As a young girl, Mom worked as what she fondly shared with us as a “Soda Jerk., the name that came from the action the fountain attendant made when pulling the soda draft arm. No wonder she so enjoyed the slot machines in Vegas whenever her and Dad could make the trip. She was really proud to work at the Copper Coffee Pot on State Street, and equally as proud when she was terminated. After raising her children, Carmen worked for a period of time at the Santa Barbara Club, where she loved making deserts for Santa Barbara’s most successful businessmen followed by a period of time working for Ricardo’s in Goleta. However, her passion was raising children and providing that "motherly" care that can't be found in most sitters and after-school programs. She had a major influence in the upbringing of her children, grandchildren, and those that were close family friends who requested her services. The bond she built with the children led to the nickname, "Grandma Carmen." Her parents, her brother Ozzie Gonzales as well as her sister, to whom she idolized, Graciela Lugo, preceded her in death. Carmen is survived by her husband of 65 years, Gilbert Ramirez, as well as her three children (and spouses), Rebecca Bustos (Ralph) of Prescott Valley, AZ; Armando Ramirez (Gayle) of Santa Barbara, CA and Cynthia “Cinderella” Anderson (Christopher) of Leesburg, VA. She also has 6 grandchildren, Anissa Bustos of Santa Barbara, CA; Gabriel Bustos (Chelsea) of Turlock, CA; Ryan and Kenneth Ramirez of Santa Barbara, CA; Connor and Kyle Anderson of Leesburg, VA and one great-grandson, Noah Bustos of Turlock, CA. In addition, surviving are her

brother, Edward Gonzales (Dolo (Dolores), and sister-in-laws, Julia Martinez and Paulette Ramirez, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. The family would like to thank the wonderful and compassionate caregivers at Mission Terrace. Their loving hands and care of our precious mother was special during her last two years thanks to Nurse, Linda Valdivia, CNA, Maria Juarez and Activities, Arturo Gonzalez. Long is the list of names who we will fondly hold a place in our hearts for those who made her stay comfortable. May God bless them all! A memorial mass will be held for family and friends at 10 AM at St. Raphael’s Church on Monday, April 25th, 2016 followed by a graveside service at Calvary Cemetery and reception immediately following.

Rusty made everyone around him feel special and always welcomed everyone with open arms. He will be missed by so many who loved him dearly. Rusty is survived by his true love, his wife, Amanda Enlow Johnston, whom he shared his life with for 32 years. He is also survived by his father, Russ Johnston, Sr.; mother, Rita Johnston; sister, Saundra Marsh-Lund; brothers, Ken Johnston and William Johnston; Uncle, Victor Johnston and many nieces, nephews and cousins. There will be a Celebration of Rusty's great life on Saturday, April 30, 2016, from noon to sunset at Tuckers Grove, Area 5.

Jon Eidelson

06/23/58-04/02/16

Jon’s passion and hobby for over 25 years was genealogy and family research, especially his and his wife’s extended Jewish genealogy. As his children grew, he gained extensive knowledge about college and school requirements and enjoyed helping many students in the community navigate the college admissions process. Jon’s big life project was the family he built with Gayle. Together they raised six boys and one girl in Santa Barbara: Michael, Joel, Ben (Anna), Aaron, Nathan, Adam, and Leah. Jon is survived and will be truly missed by his wife and children, his mother and father, brother and sister, one grandchild, and extended family. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to Jewish Family Services (jewishsantabarbara.org/jewish-familyservice) or the Santa Barbara Education Foundation (sbefoundation.org).

Death Notices

Russell “Rusty” L. Johnston Jr. 12/31/61-04/07/16

JOHNSTON JR., Russell (Rusty) L., 54, left us suddenly on April 7, 2016. Rusty was very well known in the community and touched the lives of many people. Born on New Year's Eve in 1961, Rusty was a native to Goleta, CA, and graduated from Dos Pueblos in 1980. Rusty had many accomplishments in his life including bowling a 300 game in 2006 at a City Tournament, starting his own business at the age of 18 and becoming an accomplished cook. He operated S.B. Vending and Video for 20 years. In 2008 he and his wife, Amanda, opened Roundin' Third Sports Bar in Goleta, which has become a very popular gathering place and allowed him to more recently open Home Plate Grill, operated by his brother Ken Johnston.

Jon Eidelson, passed away suddenly on Saturday, April 2, 2016, in Santa Barbara, California. Jon was born on June 23, 1958, in La Habra, California, to Daniel and Anita Eidelson as the youngest of three children. He was the precocious younger sibling to older sister Debra Stanfield and brother Bruce Eidelson. He grew up in Orange County and attended Rose Drive Elementary School, Yorba Linda Junior High School, and Troy High School. Jon is remembered for his intellectual curiosity, kindness, and moral compass. Jon’s interests in science led him to the University of California, Berkeley to study physics and where he met his wife, Gayle, in their freshman year dorm in 1976. After Berkeley they moved to Menlo Park where Jon worked at SRI International as a research physicist studying electro-optics. He then attended Anderson School of Management at UCLA and received an MBA in finance and management science in 1983. After business school, Jon moved to Santa Barbara to work for Warren & Selbert, Inc., a financial software firm of a dozen employees. Jon was instrumental in the company's tremendous growth and continued success. As senior vice president, he participated in all aspects of the business, from programming optimization routines to researching tax issues to assembling computer systems.

Gaviota Growth?

encourage locals, children, as well as the stream of cars going to and from Los Angeles to take a good long look at the Gaviota Coast. Just up the 101, the urban limit line is crossed, taking you from box malls and cookie-cutter homes to rural landscapes and vistas. On a coast determined worthy of inclusion in the National Park System in 1998, it’s no wonder the semipristine nature of portions of the region have been preserved for generations to come. But in light of the recent firing of the director of the California Coastal Commission (CCC) and the recent court ruling opening the floodgate of gated estates at the (former) Paradiso del Mare, conservation and protection of much of the Gaviota Coast is clearly a fleeting fantasy. The reason this sacred stretch of coast, with its cultural and biological diversity, looks like it does is in part because of the tireless efforts of the Santa Barbara chapter of Surfrider, the Gaviota Coast Conservancy, and the Naples Coalition. For over 20 years, we have fought golf courses, rezoning, massive housing proposals, and other symbols of an unsustainable and visionless society in decline. Our efforts have gone against a drumming of Planning Commission rubber stamps, Board of Supervisors empty lip service, and breathtaking backroom dealings at the CCC, all followed by expensive lawsuits. But through all this, the beauty and significance of this coast for the county, the state, and the world is what keeps us going. For everyone. To be clear, nearly every major parcel between the Bacara and the upscale tents at El Capitan Canyon is poised for development. So, next time you are wondering what to do on a sunny Saturday morning, I recommend taking a short drive; reminisce, pay your respects, and prepare to say good-bye to this national treasure. Or not. Maybe you will be the next volunteer to speak at a public hearing, join our efforts, or buy the whole damn thing for preservation! Time will tell, but the clock never stops ticking. — Mark Morey, Chair, Santa Barbara Chapter of Surfrider Foundation

Lawn Bowling at the Bowl

dam Sandler, Steve Martin, and Flight of the Conchords all walked into a bar … Oh, wait, it wasn’t a bar; it was one of the most beautiful music venues in the United States. Back in January The Indy published a story [independent.com/bowlbooking] stating things were going to be “shaken up” this year now that Nederlander was out of the picture. I guess you were telling us they were about to become even worse. How can we expect modern talented musicians (other than Vanilla Ice, of course) to want to come play for our community at our beautiful venue if they reference a lineup stuck between an AARP Carnival Cruise and a bad SNL skit? Moss Jacobs once again has managed to make our treasured venue look more than just slightly stoopid. — Bill Blackwell, S.B.

Bankrupt? Who Cares?

TRUMP’S BANKRUPTCIES: Lots of people

declare bankruptcy: Venoco oil, Donald Trump, and future president Harry Truman’s haberdashery shop in Kansas City. After its announcement in March, Venoco promised to be back on its feet after “several months.” Trump waves off his multiple business bankruptcies, which seem to do nothing to detract from his presidential ambitions. In 1944, as a back-bench U.S. senator from Missouri, Truman’s honesty and character led Democrat movers and shakers to put him on the ticket with Roosevelt. He and the president hardly knew one another. Truman became president in 1945 when Franklin D. Roosevelt died in office. But when Truman ran for election as president in 1948, the 1922 failure of his business produced great sneers.“How can he run a billion-dollar federal government when he went bankrupt in a little shirt shop?” my parents asked. Actually, the post-WWI recession was largely to blame for the closing. The future president never declared bankruptcy to wipe out the debts, though his partner did. Truman vowed to pay off every cent of the debt. “Fifteen years after the store went under, Harry would still be paying off on the haberdashery and as a consequence would be strapped for money for 20 years,” David

BUCK STOPPED HERE: Though Truman’s partner in a Kansas City haberdashery declared bankruptcy, the president never did. Hear that, Donald Trump?

McCullough wrote in his monumental 1992 biography Truman. Trump filed for business bankruptcy four times. The Las Vegas tower resort, which I saw last week rising all golden in the sun (when it wasn’t raining), seems to have done well, though, and he was planning a second there until the recent recession hit. Trump doesn’t deny filing for bankruptcy, explaining that doing so is a common business practice and was a smart business move for him. According to the PolitiFact website, Trump’s bankruptcies are the Trump Taj Mahal, in Atlan-

Arlington Theatre stage, facing a sold-out crowd of mostly college-age kids, wondering aloud what he was doing there at 4 o’clock on a sunny Saturday afternoon. “I love Montecito,” the red-headed comedian told them. “It makes me feel almost ethnic.” They loved it and loved everything that came out of his mouth. They lined up for the Q&A session and begged him for career advice. “Work hard,” he advised.“I work hard. I get a contact high out of making people laugh.” When he was first hired for a TV night show, “I had a very short contract, 13 weeks. So I had to fight it out” to survive to be extended for another 13 weeks. “Suddenly the Internet exploded. YouTube has changed my life, completely changed my life.” Now he’s famous in the Third World.

grandfather. Bad Jews, by Joshua Harmon, now at the New Vic and staged by Ensemble Theatre Company, is billed as a comedy. The scant laughs are there along with the scathing broadsides of vitriol launched by the fiery Daphna (Eden Malyn) and tough Liam (Adam Silver). It’s not a play for delicate ears, but it’s memorable theater. As Ensemble artistic director Jonathan Fox, who directed, puts it: “‘You’re a bad Jew.’ As a nonobservant Jew growing up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, that was how my friends often labeled me.” Caught in the crossfire in Bad Jews is Liam’s blonde shiksa (non-Jewish) girlfriend Melody (Stephanie Burden), stunned by it all in more ways than one. (The play runs through May 1.) PROOF: Higher math is a mystery to many

of us who never delved into the abstract science of numbers. The questions that David Auburn’s play Proof raises is who wrote what looks like a monumental proof of a longsought math puzzler — a now-dead professor (he reappears from time to time onstage) or his 25-year-old daughter? And is she in danger of losing her mind, as her father did? Santa Barbaran Katherine Bottoms is excellent in the challenging role of Catherine.

Counting to

n county politics, there is one rule: You

must be able to count to three. And at the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, you can’t get anywhere close to three—votes that is — without the 3rd supervisorial district on your side. The 3rd District seat— seat representing the Santa Ynez Valley, Guadalupe, the Gaviota Coast, and Isla Vista— Vista is up for grabs this year because the environment-minded Supervisor Doreen Farr is retiring after eight years in office. Historically, district voters have been divided along geographical lines, with the South Coast tending to be liberal and the rural north more conservative. For the last 25 years, the 3rd District has been the board’s political teeter-totter —determining, in

vote after vote, which direction the county goes on the hot-button issues, including oil projects, Gaviota Coast development, winery regulations, the Chumash casino, the coastal garbage dump, and the character of the Santa Ynez Valley. Occasionally less polarizing, but equally important, have been board decisions regarding the North County jail, funding for the mentally ill, civil servant pensions, road maintenance, sheriff and fire departments, the homeless, and climate change. In the last 12 months, the supervisors have voted three to two on a number of contentious issues. They adopted the most stringent emissions standards in the state (1,000 metric tons per year) that will require noncompliant oil companies to pay for offsets. They denied ExxonMobil’s request to haul hundreds of truckloads of crude oil each day along Highway 101 after last May’s Refugio Oil Spill shut down the pipeline. Last summer, the supervisors blocked attempts to develop the Gaviota Coast, including Naples and Las Varas Ranch. In symbolic politics, the supervisors also passed a resolution supporting Planned Parenthood at a time the Republican Congress was trying to strip its funding.

Political Gods Outdid Themselves

Survivor benefits from the GI Bill allowed her to attend the small, conservative University of La Verne in the 1970s, where her politics tilted toward the progressive. Asked if she considered herself an activist then, she said,“I was engaged.” After graduating, Hartmann pursued a PhD in political philosophy and environmental policy, supporting herself as a teacher at high schools and Claremont College. Later she helped found the environmental studies program at Oberlin College, where she met her husband, Jim Powell, then the acting president, a geologist by training. She later got a law degree from Lewis & Clark. The couple has a daughter and two children from Powell’s former marriage. In person, Hartmann, 65, has a runner’s physique and perfectly blow-dried brown hair. In public, she appears nicely put-together, well organized, and exhaustively prepared. In 2004, Hartmann moved to the Santa Ynez Valley fulltime, and got involved. She volunteered for foster kids as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), was active on Measure G (required voter approval to develop land zoned as agriculture), and participated in the Buellton Urban Growth Boundary Initiative (required voter approval for changes to the city’s boundaries). More recently, she served for three years as retiring supervisor Farr’s planning commissioner. She proudly characterized her record as one of “balanced decision making,” approving energy projects (with environmental mitigations that oil industry proponents contend are too stringent), housing projects, the agriculture buffer zone, and the Gaviota Coast plan. In deliberations, she is known to ask lots of questions. Hartmann had to do a little “soul searching,” as she put it, before jumping into the race. “Life is really short,” she said. “When opportunity is right there in front of you saying you can Joan Hartmann make a difference — you do.”

Five candidates have thrown their hat into the ring for this June 7 election. With so many candidates running, it is almost certain that the winner will be decided between the top two June vote getters in the November election. Supervisorial seats are technically nonpartisan, though local political parties often endorse. This race appears to have two frontrunners, both relatively unknown in county politics. One, Joan Hartmann, has the Democratic Party endorsement; the other, Bruce Porter, has won support from Republicans. Porter would have had a leg up if just two candidates were in the race because the election could definitely be decided in the June 7 primary election, when more dependable conservative voters turn out to cast ballots. But politics is all about timing. In the November election, high student turnout in a presidential year gives a strong edge to the Democratic-supported candidate. Two of the outsider candidates, Bob Field and Karen Jones, call themselves conservatives, but their candidacy actually hurts the Republican establishment favorite. The third outsider, Jay Freeman, is the left-leaning founder of a multimillion-dollar tech company who has enough money and stamina to stay the course. All five have as distinctive personalities as the complex issues dominating the diverse district.

Joan Hartmann

Joan Hartmann grew up watching the orange groves disappear in Glendora, a small community 20 miles east of Los Angeles. At 12, her father, a Korean War veteran, died after a long battle with cancer. Her mother, a 34-year-old nurse, took on a demanding, but not well-paying, job treating children with cancer at L.A.’s City of Hope. Those years, Hartmann remembered, the “Salvation Army brought Christmas.”

Bruce Porter

Bruce Porter has military in his blood. Growing up an army brat, he loved living overseas. He attended West Point, graduating in 1976, at a hot time in the Cold War. Stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, he was deployed to Germany to “guard the Iron Curtain, basically,” and later to an air base in Japan, “a totally different experience.” The U.S. Army paid his way to Stanford where he earned two master’s degrees in computer science and civil engineering—and where met his future wife, Janette Brown Porter. He then returned to West Point, teaching mathematics and computer theory. In 1990, Porter capped off his career as an operations officer in the Desert Storm Gulf War. At first he helped build roads and airfields, and then transitioned to combat engineering and responded to the giant oil spills caused after Saddam Hussein’s troops set fire to Kuwait oil wells. Porter returned stateside to work at the Pentagon but retired a week before September 11, 2001; his former aid was killed in the terrorist attack. That same year Porter moved his family to the Santa Ynez Valley to finish raising their three kids, now all in their twenties. He joined the financial advising firm Edward Jones, the Rotary Club, the American Red Cross, and the Boys & Girls Club. Porter, now 61, entered local politics in 2008, when he led the charge to recall all Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District boardmembers after they arbitrarily fired the popular principal, Norm Clevenger. Despite great public outcry, the board refused to explain their reasoning, even after Clevenger gave his approval. Though the group gathered more than 13,000 signatures total, the protest was dropped when Clevenger was hired at San Marcos High School. That year, Porter was Bruce Porter elected to the valley school board.

In 3rd District forums, Porter pledges an “unrelenting” commitment to the environment, pointing to his work in the army. At Fort Irwin in the Mojave Desert, Porter said, he protected the endangered desert tortoises. In the Pacific Northwest, he fought wildfires, and during Mississippi River floods, he provided clean drinking water. At a GOP meeting in Santa Maria, however, Porter assured the audience that he plays up his environmental credentials to get the Isla Vista student vote, candidate Jones published online. When asked about this after a debate, Porter said,“My bio is my bio, and I stick by my bio.” Asked again via email, he wrote, “Her claim on my environmental record goes into the same categories as slavery and denying women the right to vote.” Often dressed in a suit and tie, Porter is pleasant, though somewhat formal. Based on the number of giant Bruce Porter lawn signs seen throughout the Valley, he seems to be a popular fellow. Fourth District Supervisor Peter Adam, unabashedly conservative, said, “I think his message is similar to mine. He blows away everyone else in that race.”

Bob field

2016 Lead Where You Stand Conference: Leadership and the Millennial Generation 2 JUN

Bob Field, 71, describes himself as an old-fashioned conservative: “for conservation.” He is a longtime registered Republican, but Republicans dismiss him as a Democrat in disguise, trying to manipulate the election toward Hartmann. They cite Field’s contribution to her campaign last December. Fifth District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino said, “His best way to help Joan Hartmann is not to give her $1,000. It’s to get into the race.” In fact, Field confirmed he is not trying to “spoil” it for Porter — he is in the race to “ruin” it for him. Eighteen years ago, Field moved to a spectacular house in bucolic Happy Canyon after a successful career at a computer services startup — before anyone called them startups. He got hooked on county government in the early 2000s when he revived the Santa Ynez Valley Community Plan. Field worked on Brooks Firestone’s successful 3rd District campaign in 2004, but the two had a bitter falling out. Field publicly called out Firestone for working to allow non-agriculture uses on land protected by the Williamson Act (a law that helps preserve ag land by only taxing its Bob Field agricultural value rather than its development potential.) Firestone owned such land and later recused himself from voting on the subject after conflict-of-interest accusations. The bitterness has not abated. When a Field campaign press release listed his past work with the former supervisor, Firestone quickly emphasized his support for Porter. Field has become a bit of a controversial character in the valley in his crusade against the proliferation of wine tasting rooms and vacation rentals. At a recent county board meeting, Supervisor Lavagnino called Field a hypocrite for appealing a Santa Rosa Road winery expansion project while advertising his own property as a potential small-scale winery when he put it on the market. Lavagnino displayed a picture of Field’s 1930s farmhouse and address. “It’s the North County guys’ style,” Field said.“It’s all about what a horrible human being I am.” Sitting on his porch overlooking picturesque rolling spring-green hills, Field said the race was about defending the “quality and the rural character in the Santa Ynez Valley.” “Tourism should be light mustard on a hotdog,” he said, noting he borrowed the metaphor.“A little bit makes it better, but nobody likes mustard sandwiches.”

Jay Freeman

Jay Freeman campaigns as if he’s having the most fun in this race. Freeman came to UCSB in 1999 to study computer science. In 2007, he founded Cydia — Latin for the proverbial worm in the apple — an alternative of sorts to apps that allows users to customize their jailbroken devices. He now teaches at the university’s College of Creative Studies. For 16 years he lived in the outskirts of I.V. but moved inside the so-called I.V. box last year. He is the only candidate who lives on the South Coast. Tall, long-haired, and somewhat gawky, Freeman usually wears all black and a big smile. He’s in the race in part to stick up for Isla Vista, the community without a voice at the Board of Supervisors, he said. This includes totally rejecting the perception,

held by many outside the I.V. bubble, that the college town is dangerous and a drain on county services. Two years ago, Freeman, now 34, energetically supported cityhood for Isla Vista, and he has vigorously supported the November ballot measure to establish a community services district in I.V. He even donated $22,000 toward its fiscal study. If he loses in June, Freeman plans to run for a seat on the new community services district board. Freeman recently created a website that he’s hoping will capitalize on the young, liberal Isla Vista voters who will be turning out for the presidential elections. It serves as a massive data mine on Isla Vista voter registration. Info from door-to-door interactions—door slam, for instance — gets entered into an app that can be turned into charts and graphs. Already, Democrats have registered 2,000 voters in I.V. and on the UCSB campus (including updates). About a third of the district’s 42,400 voters live in Isla Vista or on the UCSB campus. That gives registered Democrats an 8 percent lead over Republicans. Thirty percent of voters decline to state a party preference. Asked if his efforts to register Isla Vista voters could help Hartmann, Freeman said yes.“That is not a badcase scenario for me,” he said, “as someone who is similar on the political spectrum to her.” He added the people of Isla Vista generally know who he is over Hartmann.

ticians and big government. In 2009, she joined antiObamacare protesters outside Congressmember Lois Capps’s regional office. Though Jones resists the term Tea Party —“the first rule of the Tea Party is we don’t talk about the Tea Party”—she conceded she once helped organize a protest, which “rocked,” she told me via Twitter. Her Twitter handle is “@SnakebiteJones.” During this campaign, she has called Porter a “corrupt man,” spending as much time at a recent debate railing on him as she did arguing her own points. “I think Joan and Bruce are the same person …” she said, adding Hartmann has more credibility.“Bruce … moved here from Washington, D.C., to take advantage of a bunch of people he thinks are country rubes. I’m sorry, Bruce, but Dad is pulling the car over.” After the debate, Porter said he had “no idea what is at the root of all of that … I was shocked.”

DEBATABLE: With their very distinctive personalities, four of the five candidates debated in March at a Goleta Chamber of Commerce–sponsored event.

Jones insists, however, that her primary issue is to “stand up to the Casino Empire.” Careful to clarify that the “people in the tribe are wonderful,” she opposes expansion of the reservation through congressional action. In fact, she suggested, “Maybe we should build a wall around the casino and make them pay for it.”

Taking the Gloves Off

Jones is not the only candidate ready for a fight. At a recent debate, Hartmann took Porter on aggressively, accusing him of ripping off her proposal to negotiate with the Chumash tribal leaders and spreading faulty information when he previously intimated the Goleta Unified School District would be forced to issue pink slips to teachers because of lost tax revenue from oil operations after the Refugio Oil Spill shut down seven oil platforms. Porter and his supporters, for their part, have attacked Hartmann for being a tool of the liberal forces from the South Coast that they say seek to turn the Board of Supervisors into a “soap box for progressive causes.”“We don’t want land use against property rights and the needs of the economy,” said Andy Caldwell, longtime spokesperson for right-wing issues in North County. “What they are trying to do is a whole different mentality.” In January, Hartmann, just before resigning from the Planning Commission, approved a zip line project after she voted last November to send the applicant back to the drawing board. She worked with the applicant, she said, to modify the project so at-risk kids or area families could use it during off-peak hours. Critics grumbled such stipulations went beyond the scope of the Planning Commission. But she claimed her contribution puts the applicant in a “much stronger position now” since neighbors are appealing the decision to the Board of Supervisors. This, however, did not endear her to property-rights activists. At a Republican Party meeting in Santa Maria, Porter reportedly suggested Hartmann was affiliated with the now long-defunct ’60s radical movement Weather Underground, a claim that she dismissed as “nonsense.” In an interview, Porter confirmed his remark, explaining, “The South Coast machine, as I call it, has had a succession of candidates, and there are people like John Butney that have been supporters of that group,” he said. “I didn’t work it out in any kind of detail.” (Butney, former influential 3rd District activist, staffer, and failed supervisorial candidate, admitted he was part of the Weatherman but said he left before they went underground.“The last time this came up was in 2004 when I ran for supervisor,” he laughed.)

Battle over the Tourist Trade

One of the most contentious issues among candidates has been how to handle vacation rentals. Field is strongly opposed to them anywhere. Late last year, he advocated an outright ban, arguing any attempt to regulate them would be virtually unenforceable. Porter said he has no firm position and is open to learning more. Freeman said,“Unlike some tech people, I do not blindly agree with all things ‘disruptive.’ I understand why people are upset [with them].” “Our job as government is to try to figure out how to accommodate all these complex cross-interests.” Jones, who said she sometimes uses vacation rentals in the valley, also took a mixed approach: The county must “establish and enforce rules that reflect the will of the people.” Hartmann, the only candidate with a voting record on the subject, favored a ban on short-term vacation rentals in residential areas, and, in a separate motion, remained open to short-term rentals on agriculture land, particularly in the North County, where neighbors live far apart. The issue is expected to go before the Board of Supervisors next fall after returning to the Planning Commission this summer. 26

chumash Tribal standoff

rd disTricT

Perhaps the most heated issue in the vast 3rd District is how to handle matters with the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. Many Valley residents have long clashed with tribal leaders over proposed expansion of the reservation, aggravated by the fact that any reservation development is not governed by the county’s strict planning codes, and that, as a federally recognized sovereign nation, the Chumash are IT’S A GAMBLE: Negotiations with Chumash tribal not subject to property taxes. leaders is one of the hot-button issues in the 3rd District. It gets ugly. The meetings have been a mixed bag and Confrontation escalated last fall when county supervisors began a series of public are currently on a cooling-off hiatus. Meanmeetings—led by supervisors Farr and Adam while, the tribe is in the middle of a special — to hash out a deal with tribal leaders.

Put simply, the current proposal would allow the tribe to develop housing near urban boundaries with an expedited permit if they revoke their annexation application with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. According to Field, he actually came up with the proposal in 2004. In any case, Chair Armenta said in March, tribal leaders would likely not go for it: “The tribe has a right to apply for fee-to-trust,” he said. “I will not forgive those rights for our tribe.”

The impossible district

VAST AND DIVERSE: Home to about 42,400 voters, the 3rd supervisorial district spans from Isla Vista to Guadalupe and includes the most unincorporated communities in the county.

The 3rd District supervisor will eventually be in a position to vote on redrawing the county’s district boundaries. While this process will probably not take place during this four-year term—and will be after the next Census — incumbents tend to win reelections. The redraw matters because — if conservatives had their druthers — the 3rd District would exclude Isla Vista, and its blue voters, and be instead included in the currently overwhelmingly liberal 2nd District. For now, it is difficult to overstate the complexity of running for 3rd District supervisor given the diverse demographics and myriad issues. Said one county insider,“They need to promise the world to everybody.” n

EVOLUTIONS

s the search for everlasting beauty marches on, advancements in medical technology now offer ffer more paths to the ff fountain of youth than ever. “You need to match the person to the treatment,” said Brian Perkins, manager of his father’s Evolutions Medical Spa, which offers ffers minimally invasive beauty enhancements. “It’s not a one-sizeff fits-all.” His dad, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Terry Perkins, credits the spa’s success to detailed consultations, explaining,“You need to look at it not only medically but artistically.” More than a decade ago, with new technologies constantly hitting the market, Dr. Perkins saw options for less invasive treatments, quicker recovery times, and more natural-looking lifts. So he decided to branch his surgical practice into a medical spa, opening Evolutions in . It quickly outgrew several locations but now thrives inside a ,-square-foot building at  Chapala Street, home to both the day spa (facials, massages, body wraps, scrubs, etc.) and the medical spa. “We end up getting really good results consistently because we have good technology,” said Brian. Here’s a sampling of that tech.

HELPING PETS OF THE HOMELESS “I’ve had seizures, and this dog really helped me through that,” said Lucia Casso, who brought her dog, Spencer (right), for a checkup to Sunday morning’s Pets of the Homeless Free Clinic at Pershing Park. “We take really good care of our dogs, but it’s expensive, so this fills a need for us.” The event, which began in 2009 and will be held again this October, was put on by Santa Barbara Veterinary Group, whose vets, vet techs, and support staff provided 18 loyal companions of the homeless with preventative care, flea treatment, vaccinations, and rabies tags. Vendors donated vaccines, and members of the community contributed dog beds, toys, food, and treats to hand out during the event. “The relationship between the person and their pet isn’t any different fffferent than any of our other patients,” said Katie Sahyouni, DVM, of San Roque Pet Hospital (above, second from right), who donated her time for the event. “We’re lucky enough to be a part of an organization that does something like this.”

very Sunday at noon, a muscular, tattooed, -year-old Luis Muñoz welcomes a crew of dedicated bar enthusiasts to Dwight Murphy Park. But this isn’t the continuation of a Saturday-night bender— bender it’s a different fferent kind of bar, the ff one for pull-ups, push-ups, and body-weight suspension exercises. Muñoz is the founder of Santa Barbara Bar Life, a nonprofit that offers ffers free group calisthenics training ff focused on fitness, nutrition, and clean fun. It’s the culmination of his personal path to health — growing up in a camper, he gravitated toward Isla Vista and skate parks and wound up getting into drinking, drugs, and a gang that nearly ruined his life. Then he was given a bicycle, began riding, and realized that the cardio exercise “kind of freed my mind.” Soon he was working out on the pull-up bars at public parks. “I started learning the bar workouts were actually channeling all the negative energy, bad feelings, and anger,” said Muñoz. “I felt really proud of myself and happy.” Today, he’s a student at SBCC and will transfer to UCSB next semester.

He’s also proudly sharing his new knowledge to help others. “A lot of places offer drinking, bad food, and stuff like that,” he said. “And they are in a way destroying the community because they are making unhealthy people.” Muñoz’s free program serves as community support for troubled kids that may be suffering in the same ways that he was. “We really want to reach out to the youth because that’s where the community begins,” Muñoz said. “Our main focus is high school students and showing them that there’s more to do in Santa Barbara than drinking and drugs.” But his sessions aren’t just for marginalized kids, as participants range from toddlers to people in their late seventies. “Anyone can join us, no matter what your body type is, even if you’re in a wheelchair,” said Muñoz, who also offers detailed nutrition plans, tips for staying focused, and encouragement to leave unhappy lifestyles. “We’ll help you get up on the pull-up bars.” See facebook.com/calistreetworkout. — Carolina Starin

Sudden Surge of

TranSgender TeenS

t a party recently, two of my

good friends informed me that their teenagers, formerly a boy and a girl, were newly identifying as a trans girl and a genderfluid person; once him and her, they were now her and them, respectively. The next day, I met a girl whose best friend had left for spring break as a girl and returned to junior high as a trans boy. I couldn’t help wondering: Why the sudden surge of transgender teens? Were there always children who felt antsy in their assigned gender — but never safe saying so in a pre-Caitlyn Jenner world? Could the explosion of social

awareness be enticing some angsty adolescents to “try out” gender nonconformity as an option they wouldn’t have considered before? And is it insensitive to even ask that? Bren Fraser is a therapist who works with transgender clients age 7 and up. “It’s become a specialty for me,” she says, confirming that there are gender-questioning students at all of our public high schools, junior highs, and even some elementary schools. “I’ve seen much more growth in the last two years—even more in the last year.” But one teen insists it’s nothing new. “There have always been tons of gender-nonconforming people,” says Belle, a 16-year-old who identifies as gender fluid. “Native Americans accepted nonbinary people for centuries! So there aren’t more of them; they’re just finding more community and positivity for their identities. Teens are starting to be less afraid to show their true selves, because they see other people like them. And communities at school or Pacific Pride are making safe spaces for teens to figure out who they are.” Seventh grader Ella figured out who she was this year: an agender person named El. “I don’t feel any particular connection to being male or female,” says El, 12. “I just feel like I am who I am.” El was always a tomboy who liked sports and action figures: “I didn’t exactly want to be a boy, but I didn’t really feel like a girl. When I found out what agender was, I was almost crying. I was like, Oh my god, I’m not weird! I just felt so good about myself.” They cut their hair and began speaking in a deeper voice—but things can still be awkward: “Every day at school, people look at me and I hear whispers. There are some people who are afraid to talk to me because

of my pronouns. They’re afraid they might mess up.” My friend Julia was taken aback when her high-school-age daughter announced she was gender fluid. “She said, ‘Sometimes I want to be a boy, and sometimes I want to be a girl.’ Neither my husband nor I knew what the hell she was talking about,” Julia says. “So I called Pacific Pride and said,‘Do you have any groups for parents? I want to get myself educated.’ ” They did, and she did. But Julia has an opinion about the whole thing:“I think this is a reaction to the hypersexuality of high school, especially for girls who don’t fit the in-crowd mold,” she says. “I think they’re saying, ‘I’m not even going to play that game.’ She doesn’t feel like she was born in the wrong body —she just doesn’t want to conform to society’s roles of male and female. There’s a little bit of protest and social justice mixed in, and those are things that I completely support, so why would I not support her? I mean them. Damn it.” But for some parents, the transition can be torturous. Another friend’s 14-yearold son began identifying as a trans girl last year but doesn’t present as female— doesn’t wear feminine clothes, have girl friends, or even shave, um, her mustache. So when multiple Los Angeles therapists urged them to start the kid on hormone replacement therapy, the parents resisted. “All of them are pushing our child down that road, and our child is not showing us that she wants to go down that road. It’s really dangerous,” says my friend—who is about as progressive as they come.“I mean, we don’t even let her eat chicken with hormones in it!” Obviously it’s important to take these kids seriously; about 41 percent of gendernonconforming people in the U.S. have attempted suicide. But … is there room for dialogue? “I think it’s amazing we live in a time where you’re allowed to have that exploration,” my friend says.“But as a parent, if you say, ‘Wait, let’s slow down and have a conversation,’ you’re looked at as being unsupportive. There are no open doors to just … try it on. And the idea of knowing at 14 who you’re going to be for the rest of your life? Every adult will tell you they’re not the people today that they were convinced they were going to be when they were 14.” For her part, therapist Bren says she’s never had a client’s gender identity turn out to be “just a phase.” But if there’s one thing that is sure to change—and keep changing —it’s society’s ideas about gender. “The kids that are coming up now, they don’t look out at the world the same way. They’re open to something different,” Bren says. “I actually think it’s an exciting time. Being curious is a great thing.” Starshine Roshell is the author of Broad Assumptions.

PreP BAseBAll Gets heAted San Marcos, Santa Barbara, and dos Pueblos Battle for Postseason dreams

paul wellman

n high school ballparks last week, it was like late August in

the major leagues—warm weather and heated competition. Here’s how it went down in three crosstown games:

Monday — San Marcos 1, Santa Barbara 0: “Two years ago, we had five wins [total] and no league wins,” said Jacob Pepper, in his third season as San Marcos coach.“Last year, we had six wins and one league win.” This victory was the Royals’ second Channel League win and improved their overall record to 10-4. After starting a bunch of sophomores last year, San Marcos’s roster consists entirely of juniors and seniors.“The kids are committed,” Pepper said. They had to wait three days to face the Dons after a rainout. “We were able to come out with the same energy, keep our focus, and not make the game too big,” Pepper said. The only run was scored on a daring bit of base-running by junior Ryan Guardino in the bottom of the sixth inning. He raced home from second base on a grounder that Santa Barbara shortstop Tommy Holguin knocked down at the edge of the infield. If Guardino had an extra coat of paint on his helmet, he might have been out—that’s how close the tag of catcher Samsun Keithley missed him after Holguin’s throw home. The Royals conducted a players’ meeting at the mound when pitcher Mason Metcalfe was about to face Dons slugger John Jensen with two on and one out in the fifth inning. “It was their decision to walk Jensen and load the bases,” Pepper said. The next batter hit into a double play.

Wednesday — Santa Barbara 3,Dos Pueblos 0: This was

the first meeting between rookie head coaches. Santa Barbara’s Donny Warrecker succeeded his father, Fred, who had coached the Dons for a remarkable 42 years and won 12 league titles. George Hedricks took over at Dos Pueblos from Nick Katzenstein, who resigned to take care of his young family after leading the Chargers to the last three league championships. The Dons bounced back from the San Marcos game behind the strong arm and bat of senior Kevin Gowdy, a UCLA recruit who has pro scouts attending every game he pitches. In his previous outing, Gowdy hurled a no-hit-

ter against Buena for seven innings. (Relief pitcher Bijan Palme got credit for the win because the Dons needed an extra inning to pull it out, 1-0.) The Chargers came out aggressively against Gowdy, starting with leadoff hitter Gio Macias’s drive over centerfielder Joe Firestone’s head. Trying to stretch a double into a triple, Macias was cut down at third base on a perfect relay from Firestone to Holguin to Jensen. Dos Pueblos punched out seven hits against Gowdy, but the right-hander bore down when he needed to and did not walk a batter. Carter Soto made two big stops of hard grounders at first base, taking one on his chin. “Gowdy is a great pitcher, but we hit the ball,” said Dustin Demeter, a senior who is going to Hawai‘i on a scholarship. He and his younger brother, Davy, are distant cousins of former major leaguer Don Demeter. Santa Barbara scored a pair of runs in the second inning on a double by Gowdy and a sacrifice fly by Holguin. Leading off the sixth, Gowdy hit a towering home run over the left-field fence bordering Cathedral Oaks Road. The loss, the Chargers’ first in league play, set up a rematch two days later.

It was 90 feet and a cloud of dust at sun-baked Eddie Mathews Field as the Chargers parlayed four walks and four hits into a six-run third inning that broke a 2-2 tie. Davy Demeter drove in the final two on a high hopper over third base. “We preach that if they put the ball in play, good things happen,” said Hedricks, the DP coach.

Senior closer Austin Bull took the mound for the Chargers and kept the Dons off balance with pitches that stood the catcher up and then caught them looking at strikes. In the bottom of the seventh, the Dons worked Austin for a pair of walks. First baseman Peter Appel took over in relief. He nicked Gowdy with a pitch to load the bases. The Dons then brought the tying run to the plate three times, and the side-arming Appel struck out all three to preserve the victory. “They out-gritted us,” Warrecker said. “You can’t give up walks to a good-hitting team like Dos Pueblos. All three games this week were emotionally draining.” San Marcos lost a pair of league games to Buena after Monday’s victory, and here’s how the Channel League standings looked at the end of the week: Dos Pueblos 3-1 (13-5 overall), Buena 4-2 (10-8), Santa Barbara 3-3 (7-6), San Marcos 2-3 (10-7), and Ventura 0-3 (8-8). “We’re not out of it,” said Warrecker, whose Dons play their next four league games against Ventura and Buena. Pepper can say the same. San Marcos will play three against Dos Pueblos on April 26 and 29, and May 2. The Royals and Dons will play twice more on May 10 and 12. HIGH FLYING: It was a weekend of sweeps for the highly ranked UCSB and Westmont College baseball teams. The

Gauchos (25-7-1), ranked as high as No. 9 in NCAA Division 1 after a 5-1 start in the Big West Conference, will play three at Cal Poly this weekend. Westmont (35-7, 20-4 in the Golden State Athletic Conference) is No. 7 in the NAIA. The Warriors will host Biola in a Friday-afternoon game and a n Saturday double-header.

wo years ago, when State Street Ballet was planning to perform dance pieces inspired by specific wines in the heart of the Funk Zone, there was a lot of skepticism about how that would play out. But those who attended the flashy affair will never forget the stunning display of sensual energy and sexy excitement that ensued, as the dancers, music, wine, and appetizers swirled into a feast for all senses that was more memorable than any wine tasting I’d ever attended. On April 27, from 6-8 p.m., State Street Ballet is finally doing it again, this time at the S.B. Wine Collective, where they will erect an indoor-outdoor stage and perform four drastically different dances specially selected to go with four very fine wines. “When I drink wine, I don’t just think of the smell or the taste; I think of different kinds of movement and which piece would go well with the wine,” said Teri Jory, the event’s original visionary. “And as Santa Barbara culture moves toward the Funk Zone, State Street Ballet wants to be there, too.” They’re calling the $50, all-you-can-sip event a friendraiser. “We’ve had a lot of great support from patrons for the last two decades, but we want to get more exposure with a younger demographic and take our performance somewhere outside the theater to keep making dance more mainstream, hip, and fun,” said ballerina Leila Drake Fossek, who also performed in the 2014 event and sees a strong concon nection between the two arts.“Dance is the universal language, and wine comes from ancient times.” Here’s a sneak peek at the planned pairings.

kickoff piece will “definitely get the party started,” according to Jory, and it is paired with the Parker family’s pink bubbles.

Michel Fokine’s classic dance from 1907, which is experiencing a resurgence in popularity thanks to The Black Swan film, will be performed by Lilit Hogtanian (pictured above center). Winemaker Ernst Storm said his wine is “both New World/modern and Old World/classic, which could tie into ballet. It is a more delicate style of pinot noir which could be compared to a dancer — light, transparent, and delicate.”

didn’t marry into a Jewish family for the food. Some of it is just fine (lox, bagels, challah, latkes), some of it can be iffy (kugel, chicken livers), and some is just plain nasty—gefilte fish, I’m looking at you. Then I met the magic of a well-done matzo ball soup. I’ve always been a chicken soup fan, but this simple yet delicious bowl of warmth ups the ante with dashes of schmaltz (rendered chicken fat) and culture, in that the dough balls are made from unleavened bread, like the kind the Jews ate while following Moses on their exodus from Egypt. That’s why it’s such a fixture at the seder meals of Passover, the celebration of that escape, which starts Friday night. And no fear if you don’t have in-laws who’ve mastered the matzo, or even if you’re just a goy who wants a taste of this tradition. Santa Barbara’s Carole Bennett will make a batch just for eight to 10 of your closest friends and family this Passover season (or whenever) for $60, which includes a loaf of bread. “My grandmother made everything from scratch for Passover Pairing: As far as I’m Passover—even the gefilte fish,” concerned, Manischewitz’s popular said Bennett, who was born and Concord grape wine can go hang raised in Cleveland by Jewish with gefilte fish in the corner.

See herzogwinecellars.com. Bennett recalls watching her roll the matzo balls very tight, learned that the texture is as important as the taste, and only uses plump chicken and stock, fresh eggs, organic celery and carrots, and matzo meal. “I don’t even want to put a bit of parsley in it because it stands beautifully on its own once you lift the lid and take a nice deep breath,” she said.“When I deliver a soup and pour it from my pot to theirs, the customers are always thrilled and amazed by the chunks of chicken and perfectly formed matzo balls that come tumbling out. They often take a spoon from the drawer and dig right in.” I can attest to its amazingness. Sorry, in-laws, but Carole’s was the best I’d ever had. Oh, and she also makes a mighty fine brisket, which should also be atop everyone’s list of foods that Jewish culture does well. —Matt Kettmann See justonesoup.com.

first met Mikey Giugni two years ago, late one night in a Paso Robles hotel room, where he came to show off his brand-new hard ciders. I’ve appreciated cider since college, though back then it was mainly because we could guzzle it quickly before moving onto our 40-ounce malt liquors. I’d also thought I was on top of the recent craft resurgence of this fermented apple juice, which has roots in America’s Johnny Appleseed history. But when I sipped Giugni’s bracingly dry and springtime crisp Scar of the Sea ciders that evening, a brand-new beverage world opened before my eyes. Lighter than lager, complex like fine wine, and refreshing like soda water, these bottlings filled a hole in my palate that I didn’t know was there. Since then, over everything from waitressbotched bottles of 1994 syrah to midnight bubbly sessions at the Bacara to pét-nat chardonnay paired with ramen downtown, Giugni and his business partner, Michael Brughelli, have kept me abreast of their latest cider experiments and discoveries, not to mention sharing the excellent wine bottlings of chardonnay and pinot noir that they do under the same label.

Scar of the Sea

“The goal with Scar of the Sea is vintage, singleorigin ciders,” said Giugni. “We’ve determined that site really does play a huge role in cider, and all sites are not created equal.” Raised in Rancho Cucamonga, Giugni studied environmental engineering at Cal Poly but enjoyed his girlfriend’s viticulture classes more, and he was soon working harvest at Kenneth Volk Vineyards, where his boss was Brughelli. “He hooked me up,” said Giugni, who graduated in 2011.“He gave me a lot more roles than I necessarily should have had, but I worked hard and just grinded.” Next came making sparkling wine in Tasmania, where the winemakers drank crisp, dry cider more than beer, the typical American winemaker’s choice.“It started opening my eyes to fermenting other things,” said Giugni.“It was an epiphany moment for me.” Upon his return to the States in 2012, Giugni and Brughelli (who is now director of grape sales for Bien Nacido Vineyard) started Scar of the Sea with cider. “I got 80 gallons at the spur of the moment,” said Guigni, who now gets asked all the time how he learned to make it.“I just did it. I just fermented it and figured it out. I just made it like a sparkling white wine.” He started scouring the California landscape for sources of heirloom cider apple varieties like Arkansas blacks, Newtown pippin, and golden russets, which are all higher in acid, more mealy, and nowhere as tasty as the dessert apples we buy in grocery stores like Red Delicious and Granny Smith. “They tend to look like golf balls,” said Giugni. His quick-study cider skills led to partnerships with Casa Dumetz winemaker Sonja Magdevski, with whom he co-ferments cider with grenache blanc, sémillon, and other wines as well as pineapple guava, blood orange, and various hops and yeasts for a brand called Clementine Carter. And along with Field Recordings winemaker Andrew Jones and Sans Liege winemaker Curt Schalchlin, Giugni created Tin City Cider as a soon-to-open pub in Paso Robles serving small-batch ciders on tap as well as tall-boy cans for distribution. cont’d on p. 49 >>>

ke’s Love & Sandwiches at 6530 Seville Road had its soft opening this weekend on Saturday and Sunday. Long lines of customers, most of whom met owner Ike Shehadeh Mission himself, ordered fried-chicken sandwiches, vegan sandwiches, roast beef, and turkey sandwiches, more than 1,200 in all. I stopped by to say hi to Ike, who told me that the Isla Visa deli is his 25th location. “Ike’s is the kind of place where if you’re vegan, or your significant other eats meat, or they’re gluten free, everybody can go to the same spot together and not feel like they’ve compromised,” said Ike, who said that the Thunderdome fried-chicken sandwich, which is unique to the Isla Vista store, has been the most popular item so far. Historically, the Ménage à Trois and Matt Cain sandwiches are really big sellers. I tried the Ménage à Trois, which is now officially on my top-10 list of favorite sandwiches across the South Coast. This chicken sandwich has three sauces (honey, honey mustard, and BBQ) and three cheeses. Store hours are 10 a.m.-7 p.m. or whenever the line ends.

Scar of the Sea Cont’d from p. 46 Meanwhile, Giugni and Brughelli built their wine brand, using chardonnay and pinot noir grapes from Bien Nacido and Sierra Madre in the Santa Maria Valley as well as from vineyards in the Chalone region of the eastern Salinas Valley in Monterey. (There’s some Santa Cruz Mountains syrah coming soon, too.) “First and foremost, our wines are made to be drank — we want them to be as delicious as possible,” said Giugni, who also recently released a sparkling pét-nat chardonnay. “But we believe in the vineyard, so all of our wines come from the best possible vineyard sites that we can source. The best wines come from the best vineyards. That’s an age-old philosophy that’s true today.” Yet few are taking that philosophy into the cider world quite like Scar of the Sea, which is now sourcing most of its apples from an 80-year-

old orchard in Aptos, south of Santa Cruz, whose fruit was once all purchased for sweet sparkling cider by Martinelli’s.“We’re using the oldest California trees we can find,” said Giugni, though that sometimes means quite a bit of rehab is required. “California apples have gone through a roller coaster over the last 100 years. So for the last 30 years, this orchard hasn’t gotten the attention it needed.” With the right care, though, Giugni hopes to use this as his sole source of apples in the years to come. “We’re never gonna make a lot of cider, but we’re always gonna make the best cider we can,” he said. “It’s fun and special to pull out and show off. It’s a unique beverage that doesn’t just smell or taste like apples. It has a bunch of nuances, like white wine.” n See scaroftheseawines.com.

Singing nunS and a Crafty Lawyer Opera Santa BarBara StageS twO ShOrt OperaS By puccini to see who the aristocratic visitor might be. Angelica’s aunt, the Principessa, emerges for a heart-to-heart with her niece. Angelica receives a double blow from her imperious relative. The Principessa has come to request that Angelica relinquish her

as “Senza Mamma” in which Angelica mourns the loss of her only child and makes the grave decision to take her own life by way of a special potion she concocts out of her garden laboratory. For Maria Kanyova, the distinguished soprano who will portray Sister Angelica, the part is a familiar one, albeit filled with challenges. When she first appeared in the role at New York City Opera, she had just become a mother herself, and her son was only two months old. Although many friends advised her against it, she took the part, and used the powerful emotions of her own experience to plumb the depths of Angelica’s agony. “It’s a matter of treading that fine line where you give everything but without suffering too much from the emotions,” she told me. “Puccini writes so ingeniously for the high soprano voice,” she went on, “and this role is unusual in that the performer must go from giving the most she can give to sounding febrile.” In the closing moments, Sister Angelica is blessed with a vision of Maria Kanyova the Virgin Mary and her lost son. It will be exciting to see just how claim to the family fortune so that her sister Opera Santa Barbara stages this ecstatic, and may get married. She also bears the only sometimes controversial, ending. news that truly matters to Angelica, which Opera Santa Barbara presents Giacomo is about the fate of her son. It takes some Puccini’s Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi persuading to get the Principessa to talk, but at the Granada Theatre (1214 State St.) on finally Angelica learns the truth: He’s dead, Friday, April 22, and Sunday, April 24.

“S

hort” is not a word you see modifying “opera” very often, but when it comes to Gianni Schicchi and Suor Angelica, the two one-acts by Giacomo Puccini that Opera Santa Barbara will present at the Granada Theatre this weekend, that’s less and less the case, and with good reason. These decidedly short operas were originally two-thirds of Il trittico t , a trilogy Puccini composed for The Met in New York, where all three operas premiered on December 14, 1918. For the most part since then, the trio has been broken up into double features. Although it has gone through periods of ascendancy, Il tabarro t , a gruesome story of jealous murder and revenge, would appear to be the least common of the three in opera houses today. This pairing, of Gianni Schicchi, a farce with dark undertones, and Suor Angelica, a tragedy with an all-female cast and a supernatural twist, tends to be the one that most companies perform now. The combination makes for a great night in the theater. Schicchi, with its sight gags, vocal impersonations, and relentless comic pacing, is the kind of madcap joyride that sends audiences home amazed and laughing. Suor Angelica, on the other hand, contains some of the most hauntingly beautiful and wrenchingly emotional music that Puccini, creator of La bohème and Madama Butterfly, ever composed. Angelica is the disgraced daughter of a wealthy family. Sent to a convent after having a child out of wedlock, she has become an expert at crafting remedies from herbs.

DanCe sCholarship a available

If the city of S.B. were looking for a theme song, it might find one here on David Courtenay’s new album, Godspeed. With seven tunes of breezily confident newage classic rock, Courtenay’s work encapsulates the spiritualized sheen of postcard-perfect harbor sunsets paired with upperdeck cocktails. Courtenay’s band, The Castawaves, shine on guitar and brass. Admittedly, some of the songs fall into messianic MOR (middle of the road) or bedroom-woman-wooing territory, and Courtenay would do well to humble his more rock-star side to his meditational qualities. But for what it is, it works and should be shared upon a gentle sea with friends and loved ones, and under a celebratory sky. —Richie DeMaria

VoiCe teaCher Writes HoW-t - o Book -t

During a rare Santa Barbara downpour, Agatha Carubia and I sipped fancy teas at Alchemy Café. “I was always a voice teacher,” she said when I asked her about her performing career. “My mother’s goal was for me to be Agatha Carubia a singer. We had singers in the family — my greatgrandfather, my grandmother. There was always pressure to sing at the Met … Performing wasn’t my thing,” she continued, “I had stage fright. I never felt 100 percent in front of people.” Carubia did make a career in music, but as a teacher rather than a songstress. “When you’re a teacher, you’re a teacher, and you have to understand your nature,” she said. Carubia is a Juilliard-trained voice teacher (she taught a young, pre-celebrity Katy Perry), author, mentor to teachers, devotional singer, and yoga teacher and practitioner. Through study of classical voice technique and performance and Kundalini yoga, she conceived HeartBased Singing, a method for helping singers find their truest, most resonant voices and wrote a book about it. Carubia’s book, Heart-Based Singing: Vocal Technique, and method are for singers and voice teachers, but they are also valuable offerings for any person interested in freeing and enjoying his or her voice: serious singers, amateurs, or those who are terrified of singing anywhere but in front of their children or in the car but recognize that singing is just plain good medicine (that’s me). Her study of Kundalini yoga, a form of yoga that emphasizes chanting and breathwork, inspired her to create Heart-Based Singing, which melds the Eastern chakra system with classical bel canto vocal technique. When she attended immersive yoga trainings, she ended up teaching voice to other yogis during breaks. “These yoga teachers felt uncomfortable singing the mantra at the beginning of class. I’d help them open up, to understand that the heart chakra is involved, not just the throat. I started to see that singing is a healing modality … a mindfulness practice just like yoga.” —Melissa Lowenstein

Agatha Carubia will read from Heart-Based Singing: Vocal Technique on Tuesday, April 26, at 7 p.m. at Chaucer’s Books (3321 State St.). Attendees will be treated to a mini-class and a Q&A.

CHARACTER STUDY: Brothers Bruno and Odiseo Bichir play extras Charlie and Jose and all of the other characters in this adaptation of the acclaimed tragicomic Irish play Stones in His Pockets.

Brothers Bruno and Odiseo Bichir play Charlie, Jose, and all the other characters, including the culturally clueless British director and the glamorous Latina actress who stars in the film. (Far removed from her roots, she seduces Jose, primarily so she can try to mimic his accent.) Both men are superb, switching effortlessly from portraying one character to another with nothing but a change in headgear. The actors’ heavy accents and regular use of Spanish words and phrases take some getting used to, but with the help of Maya Burns’s fine original score, I was fully engaged within 10 minutes. Bruno Bichir (who also directed) is a truly gifted physical comedian. His antics provide a comical counterpoint to the more serious discussions of whether Mexican immigrants to the U.S. are being exploited, given an extraordinary opportunity, or both.

LOTTE LEHMANN CONCERT HALL

t took nearly a decade of planning to bring eXtras, a lively Mexican adaptation of an acclaimed Irish play, to the Rubicon Theatre stage. But as it turned out, its arrival was perfectly timed. The work playfully addresses controversies currently dominating both the political columns (Mexican immigration) and the arts pages (cultural appropriation), presenting an outsider’s perspective we don’t often hear. In addition, it’s highly entertaining: often hilarious, occasionally poignant, and pointed without being preachy. The play’s backstory is a bit complicated. In 1996, Marie Jones wrote Stones in His Pockets, a tragicomedy about how the residents of a small Irish town are impacted when a Hollywood film crew arrives to shoot a movie. In 2003, Mexican playwright Sabina Berman created an adaptation in which the setting was changed to a small Mexican village. For this production, she made additional alterations, changing the location to the California side of the U.S.-Mexico border. The film being shot sounds ridiculous — the story of a clash between Mexican natives and Mormon settlers that ends happily when a wedding unites the two communities. The play’s two central characters, who work as extras for $50 per day, find it absurd. But otherwise, Charlie Colon and Jose Rodriguez — both undocumented Mexican immigrants living in the U.S.— have little in common. Jose has a fatalistic attitude (and a need for cash), while Charlie has embraced his new nation’s optimistic spirit. He has written a screenplay, and he naively views this gig as an opportunity to get it into the right hands.

Presented by the Theatre Group at SBCC. At SBCC’s Jurkowitz Theatre, Saturday, April 16. Shows through April 30.

ou would not typically expect theater and mathematics to mix, yet David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize– and Tony Award–winning play Proof is no ordinary play, and SBCC’s production is no ordinary production. The plot centers on Catherine, a brilliant 25-year-old, as she faces her mathematical genius father’s death and grapples with mental illness. The drama’s title is defined in the playbill’s useful Glossary of Terms, and refers to both a mathematical proof and Catherine’s problem of proving the authorship of a historically significant proof to her concerned sister Claire, and her father’s inquisitive PhD student Hal. Proof offers a glimpse into the mathematical world and uses naturalistic subtlety to teach the audience as they follow along. The four-person cast convincingly quotes the great German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, discusses gender bias in the mathematical field, and swaps stories about a funeral party with theoretical physicists. Impressively, all of this intellectual fluency is interwoven with the tenacious strength and bleak sarcasm of Katherine Bottoms as Catherine; the charisma and modern nerdiness of Alex Coleman as Hal; the fatherly warmth of Paul Canter as Catherine’s father, Robert; and the sisterly impatience of Amanda Gustafsson as Catherine’s sister, Claire. While the production explores relationships in a powerfully moving and well-structured episodic format, the acting performances have their shortcomings. Watching Catherine struggle with the fear of

COUNTING BACKWARD: Paul Canter stars as mathematician Robert alongside Katherine Bottoms as Catherine in this Tony Award–winning play about math and mental illness.

following in her father’s footsteps and losing mental control becomes tiring, as Bottoms’s performance fails to project necessary emotional nuances visibly onstage beyond anger, hopeless confusion, and humorous defensiveness. Though her conversations with Coleman’s lively Hal exude good chemistry, whenever their characters’ romance unexpectedly arises, their connection falls flat. Yet when considering the difficulty of transmitting this story about family, genius, and mental instability, it is easy to forgive the lack of nuance since the actors effectively maintain a steady vigor despite the weight of Proof’s seriousness. For philosophical explorers and theatergoers, those who value the math of the heart and the art of performance, Proof is a fascinating, must-see —Alexandra Nicholson show!

he term “bad jew” as used by the characters in Joshua Harmon’s acrimonious comedy of the same name, now playing at the New Vic and staged by Ensemble Theatre Company, is not a term of interracial abuse, but one of intra-religious self-consciousness. Outsiders would (and should!) forebear from throwing this one around, while Jewish people are free to use it whenever they feel that any Jew — particularly oneself — is somehow at variance with the traditional obligations of the faith. In Harmon’s play, it’s both thrown around playfully for a bit and then wielded like a dart and sent flying toward the most vulnerable spots of one’s opponent. The wielder in chief of these pointed remarks is Daphna (Eden Malyn), a rigorously self-righteous Vassar student who plans to move to Israel for her rabbinical studies following graduation. As the curtain rises, she’s taking stock of the situation in the Riverside Drive studio apartment that her aunt and uncle have purchased for her cousin Jonah (Cory Kahane). The occasion is the passing of their mutual grandfather, who they refer to as Poppy. Poppy was a Holocaust survivor, and Daphna has her heart set on inheriting Poppy’s chai, a Hebrew symbol for life cast in gold that Poppy managed to save from confiscation in the camps by holding it in his mouth. As played by Malyn, Daphna resembles a geyser, the kind, like Old Faithful, that can be counted on to go off at regular intervals. Her harangues can be triggered by jealousy — the first one has to do with how unfair it is that Jonah gets such a nice apartment—or by threats to her territory, as we see when she sets about deciding who is sleeping where. Because the real problem, and the sitcom-like dilemma that gets the play’s conflict rolling, is not even so much the fate of Poppy’s chai as it is a question of the scarcity of New York real estate. You see there’s another cousin, Jonah’s older brother, Liam (Adam Silver), and he’s on his way to the apartment with his shiksa girlfriend, Melody (Stephanie Burden). It may have a view of the Hudson River from the bathroom, but Jonah’s studio is still only one room, and hardly big enough for two—never mind four. Despite a variety of naturalistic touches, including an excellent and evocative set by Charlie Corcoran, Bad Jews eschews realism for something more like a staged debate. In a series of increasingly gladiatorial encounters, Daphna and Liam deliver long speeches packed with rhetorical flourishes and studded with nasty put-downs. With a lesser cast, these characters could be excruciating in their mean-spiritedness, but Silver in particular infuses Liam’s relentless impatience and arrogance with just enough selfawareness to render him tolerable. Daphna is another story, and in an equally powerful performance that’s easily the most interesting and frightening aspect of the play, Malyn commits fully to her bullying, unstoppable style. Burden and Kahane provide much-needed comic relief and contrast to the burning conflict that consumes the two characters in the middle. Playwright Harmon is a recent Juilliard graduate, and, while it’s easy to see why this witty and ferocious exercise in family discord has become so popular, the script shows signs of its author’s inexperience. Daphna’s rage can feel unmotivated, and Liam’s love for Melody remains as mysterious to the audience as it is to his cousin, although less infuriating. Finally, the tacked-on twist at the end does too little, too late to leaven this Passover — Charles Donelan matzo with profundity.

LOOKING EAST: Anderson East, who opens for Chris Stapleton at the Bowl, became friends with the Grammy Award–winning singer when helping with sequencing for Stapleton’s album.

AnderSOn eASt speaks

nce you hear Anderson East sing, you know he’s the real deal. With a rich and smoky soulful Southern voice, he has earned comparisons to Otis Redding and Solomon Burke, among others, and continues to win accolades for his rooted country-rock-R&B music. He became friends with Chris Stapleton — for whom he opens at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Tuesday, April 26 — while sequencing the Grammy Award winner’s album. I spoke with him on the phone about his new album, Delilah, categorizing country music, and his relationship to his voice. Your record Delilah has a timeless or classic sound. How did you cultivate that? Honestly, we didn’t really set out with a mission. I just showed up with the songs and … that’s just what kind of came out. [Producer] Dave Cobb and I, we definitely speak the same language — we love old records, we’re both from the South, we both grew up with that kind of influence in music. It wasn’t trying to be soul or country; it’s just songs, and we tried to service the songs. Your album title was derived from the biblical story of Samson and Delilah, and it seems a lot of country music revolves around human frailty, particularly in love ... What lyrical themes resonate with you? My friend said, “Son, every song is a love song.” I really think that’s true; if it’s about loss or something else, some part of it is still a love song. I think it’s just good stories, songs that have some kind of something to grab onto. I love well-crafted, simple songs. If you can say something as simply as possible in a new way, you’ve beat the system, and that’s what I’m after. There seems to be a divide right now about “real” country versus “bro country,” and so on ... Do you believe in that labeling? Where do you fit on the spectrum? I can’t really speak for anybody else, but I think that as music should be, things just get blurred. I don’t think there are clear-

SmOky-VOiced Singer Talks New Album, CouNtry CAtegories, and His VoiCe by Richie DeMaria cut lines — you can break a song down to be anything you want it to be. You have Aloe Blacc on an Avicii track; it’s EDM but with one of the best bluegrass country voices, so what are you gonna call it? As for me, I’m striving for something classic, something timeless. As far as Chris [Stapleton], I know pretty much where he’s coming from; he’s a very sincere guy, and we’re just playing music we love because we love it. What’s your relationship like to your voice? Is your voice untrained? Yeah, I would definitely say it’s untrained. It’s just really going for it. Anybody that’s worth their salt has a fair bit of selfhatred, and I definitely have that where you listen back and think,“You can be better.” You know that part of your voice that is exciting to you, and when you have that a-ha moment, that moment of divinity? I’m trying to get to that point. We’re just drug addicts, really, and we’re just trying to get back to that really good feeling. What lies ahead for you? It’s a sound I’m trying to chase. It’s all about keeping the excitement going, whether it’s a song or, for the nerd in me, a piece of gear, that makes me want to create more. In my mind, it’s just on making a different stew, if you will, just combining odd things. I want to push that kind of timeless classic thing a little further, the thing that could have been made 60 years ago or 60 years from now, but I don’t know what that is. That’s what excited me to keep looking. I want to be a child still, a little punk-ass kid with a distortion pedal seeing how loud I can make it go. That’s all I want to do.

Anderson East opens for Chris Stapleton on Tuesday, April 26, at 7 p.m. at the Santa Barbara Bowl (1122 N. Milpas St.). For more information, call 962-7411 or visit

by Richie DeMaria THE EARTH IS WORTH IT: We find

courtesy

ConCerts of earthly Delights ourselves now in the glowing company of Earth Day, and fortunately for music lovers, environmentalism and music go hand in dove-cradling hand. Marvin Gaye’s “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)”; Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi”; The Beach Boys’ “A Day In the Life of a Tree”; Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song”— the list is as long as a march on climate change. If I were you, I would start bringing my reusable glass to my preferred concert venue, and not waste another plastic SHOW HIM LOVE: Sam Feldt water bottle. I might also walk or bike brings the love to SOhO tonight. to the venue, with that post-show pep in the step on the way home. You will have plenty of chances to use such a receptacle and take such a route in the coming days. Just as the memories of last weekend’s huge Earth Day celebration begin to fade in our heads, our revolving planet brings us more enticing acts around these parts on the days surrounding Earth Day proper. Grab your earplugs, Rachel Carsons of the world — this spring looks to be a less-than-silent one.

DANCE, DANCE, DANCE: This Earth Day happens to fall as the moon is within

its window of maximum fullness. So as you celebrate the Earth, let the impassioning powers of her sister sphere guide you onto the dance floors of Santa Barbara, where some deejays of real note come to spin — or scroll and click — ’til the end of these earthly nights. Sam Feldt, a fresh young face from the Netherlands, plays We the Beat’s Thursday-night slot at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club at 9:30 p.m. Feldt creates upbeat house music, tropically infused with soulful vocoded vocals. His widely loved hits, such as “Show Me Love,” are the reason he is a soughtafter name for festivals such as Coachella, where he recently played. If you like ascending piano lines and good vibes, then you will surely feel what Feldt is bringing. On Saturday, Claude VonStroke, presented by the LateNight Society, lights and darkens up the Eos dance floor. I say lights and darkens because VonStroke’s deeply Detroit music is a little bit of both, melding thick, clubby darkness with some ornithological humor and general whimsy. Not unlike his contemporary Omar-S, VonStroke is furthering his origin city’s sound to inventive and smartly giggly territory. With acts like these coming to town, who needs L.A.?

GIRLS ROCK FOR SUMMER, GIRLS ROCK FOREVER: One of SOhO’s coolest seasonal events, the Girls Rock S.B. Summer Showcase shines a light on some

A P RIL 21 AT 7 P M

of Santa Barbara’s youngest rock talent Sunday, April 24. The event will feature acts from Girls Rock Camp Santa Barbara! and begins at 5:30 p.m. The camp provides friendship and leadership opportunities, instrument lessons, songwriting, and all-around rock ’n’ rolling for girls and young women ages 8-17, encouraging a spirit of collaboration and nonjudgmental self-expression. Rockers of years past have become area celebrities or celebrated musicians in their own right, so you never know what amazing and promising performers will rock this summer’s showcase.

SPEAKING OF WOMEN WHO ROCK: On Thursday, April 21, we have Linda Ronstadt in conversation at the Lobero Theatre at 8 p.m. Though she can no longer sing due to Parkinson’s disease, the top-selling female singer of the 1970s will be sure to leave a positive impression on those in attendance through her spoken words alone.

IS IT GETTING HEAVY?: The Heavy, from the U.K., drops a massive weight of

rock ’n’ roll on Velvet Jones Monday, April 25, at 8 p.m. Imagine something like a British Black Keys with a little bit of Motown soul. Another Coachella act of recent times, The Heavy has grabbed the attention of the world with its smashing good rock. Similarly, S.B.’s U.S. Elevator transports rock and moves it up a few floors to more contemporary vistas, with elevator cables rooted firmly still in a bedrock of classic rock. Roots? Bedrock? Sounds a lot like Earth. But to paraphrase a park ranger in that Ken Burns documentary about National Parks: The result of winds and waters upon the rock of Earth is music. n

Double Feature

Troublemakers: The Story of Land Art In the tumultuous 1960s and ’70s, a cadre of renegade artists – including Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt, Carl Andre and others – sought to transcend the limitations of painting and sculpture by producing monumental earthworks in the desolate deserts of the American southwest. (James Crump, 2015, 72 min.)

Alexander Calder

Alexander Calder’s aesthetic revolution concerned itself with a taboo topic in the art world of his day – fun. His prolific and passionate output brought with it a sense of play unlike any before, ignoring formal structures and redefining what art could be. (Roger Sherman, 1998, 57 min.)

THU, APR 28 / 7:30 PM UCSB CAMPBELL HALL $8 / $5 all students

Playwright Arthur Miller says Calder’s works are endlessly fascinating. “You just feel better for having stared at it for a while.” The same goes for this film portrait.

The Lives and Works of Four Groundbreaking Visual Artists

n a year when one of the strongest bigscreen films — director Mike Leigh’s Mr. Turner, about 19th-century British painter J.M.W. Turner — was an artist biopic of the most artful order, the idea of spending hours in the dark with artist backstories may be less off-putting than usual. With UCSB Arts & Lectures’ fascinating new series of documentaries Art on Film, starting Thursday, April 21, at Campbell Hall and running for four more Thursday nights through May 12, art makes its way to the screen in humbler and also truer fashion (read: documentary fashion) and addresses its general field of interest from multiple angles.

her belabored former assistant, Claire (Kristen Bell), with whom she partners in a get-rich scheme involving getting a Girl Scout–esque troop to hustle baked goods.

The movie has all the ridiculous elements of a Die Hard — a plays-by-his-own-rules cowboy hero, a diabolical European super villain, character names with comic-book mythos — but none of the fun. Instead, this surprisingly violent imperialist fantasy movie is, like its protagonist, brutish, brawling, and brooding like an angry bull — too self-serious for such a premise.

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (151 mins.; PG-13) It’s hard to believe a film this stupid could have been produced by a studio that reviews products before release. Make no mistake, this is a product. Basically, it’s a half-assed reimagining of the DC heroes borrowed from Frank Miller’s 1980s Dark Knight comics, the beloved heroes turned into simpering, self-reflective, and violent dopes. The action scenes, when they finally occur, are murky and boring. Most pertinent of all, the plot hinges on the fact that both superheroes had mommies named Martha: superdumb. (DJP) Metro 4 (2D) The Boss (99 mins.; R) After doing time for insider trading, formerly ultra-wealthy Michelle Darnell (Melissa McCarthy) tries to keep her chin (which is always partially sheathed in the glitziest of turtlenecks) up as she navigates life as a former felon with zero cash.

Richard Linklater, last wowing the world with his Boyhood revelation, is up to more specialized tomfoolery with his deceptively party-timing college carnality flick. Here he progresses forward from his mid-’70s-era high-schoolgraduation classic Dazed and Confused (replete with kitschy cool period music, fashion, and hairdos — and don’ts) into three lost weekend-ish days before college, in a baseball team’s animal house off campus. As with many of his films, including his indie breakout wonder Slacker and Before Sunset trilogy, Linklater infuses sensual matters with heady asides, but here with a beersoaked, testosterone-io vibe that tells only part of the cinematic story.

CANCER

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “The writer should never be ashamed of staring,” said Aries writer Flannery O’Connor. “There is nothing that does not require his attention.” This is also true for all of you Aries folks, not just the writers among you. And the coming weeks will be an especially important time for you to cultivate a piercing gaze that sees deeply and shrewdly. You will thrive to the degree that you notice details you might normally miss or regard as unimportant. What you believe and what you think won’t be as important as what you perceive. Trust your eyes.

(June 21-July 22): Göbekli Tepe was a monumental religious sanctuary built 11,600 years ago in the place we now call Turkey. Modern archaeologists are confounded by the skill and artistry with which its massive stone pillars were arranged and carved. According to conventional wisdom, humans of that era were primitive nomads who hunted animals and foraged for plants. So it’s hard to understand how they could have constructed such an impressive structure 7,000 years before the Great Pyramid of Giza. Writing in National Geographic, science journalist Charles C. Mann said, “Discovering that hunter-gatherers had constructed Göbekli Tepe was like finding that someone had built a 747 in a basement with an X-Acto knife.” In that spirit, Cancerian, I make the following prediction: In the coming months, you can accomplish a marvel that may have seemed beyond your capacity.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In many cultures, the butterfly is a symbol of transformation and rebirth. In its original state as a caterpillar, it is homely and slow-moving. After its resurrection time in the chrysalis, it becomes a lithe and lovely creature capable of flight. The mythic meaning of the moth is quite different, however. Enchanted by the flame, it’s driven so strongly toward the light that it risks burning its wings. So it’s a symbol of intense longing that may go too far. In the coming weeks, Libra, your life could turn either way. You may even vacillate between being moth-like and butterflylike. For best results, set an intention. What exactly do you want?

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “When I grow up, I want to be a little boy,” wrote novelist Joseph Heller in his book Something Happened. You have cosmic permission to make a comparable declaration in the coming days. In fact, you have a poetic license and a spiritual mandate to utter battle cries like that as often as the mood strikes. Feel free to embellish and improvise, as well: “When I grow up, I want to be a riot girl with a big brash attitude,” for example, or “When I grow up, I want to be a beautiful, playful monster with lots of toys and fascinating friends who constantly amaze me.”

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): The ancient Greek geographer Pausanias told a story about how the famous poet Pindar got his start. One summer day, young Pindar decided to walk from his home in Thebes to a city 20 miles away. During his trek, he got tired and lay down to take a nap by the side of the road. As he slept, bees swarmed around him and coated his lips with wax. He didn’t wake up until one of the bees stung him. For anyone else, this might have been a bother. But Pindar took it as an omen that he should become a lyric poet, a composer of honeyed verses. And that’s exactly what he did in the ensuing years. I foresee you having an experience comparable to Pindar’s sometime soon, Taurus. How you interpret it will be crucial.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In myths and folklore, the ember is a symbol of coiled-up power. The fire within it is controlled. It provides warmth and glow even as its raw force is contained. There are no unruly flames. How much energy is stored within? It’s a reservoir of untapped light, a promise of verve and radiance. Now please ruminate further about the ember, Leo. According to my reading of the astrological omens, it’s your core motif right now.

GEMINI

VIRGO

(May 21-June 20): “I measure the strength of a spirit by how much truth it can take,” said philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Measured by that standard, your strength of spirit has been growing — and may be poised to reach an all-time high. In my estimation, you now have an unusually expansive capacity to hold surprising, effervescent, catalytic truths. Do you dare invite all these insights and revelations to come pouring toward you? I hope so. I’ll be cheering you on, praying for you to be brave enough to ask for as much as you can possibly accommodate. Homework: If you had to choose one wild animal to follow, observe, and learn from for three weeks, which would it be? Freewillastrology.com.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Uh-oh. Or maybe I should instead say “Hooray!” You are slipping into the Raw Hearty Vivid Untamed Phase of your astrological cycle. The universe is nudging you in the direction of high adventure, sweet intensity, and rigorous stimulation. If you choose to resist the nudges, odds are that you’ll have more of an “uh-oh” experience. If you decide to play along, “hooray!” is the likely outcome. To help you get in the proper mood, make the following declaration: “I like to think that my bones are made from oak, my blood from a waterfall, and my heart from wild daisies.” (That’s a quote from the poet McKenzie Stauffer.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I gladly abandon dreary tasks, rational scruples, reactive undertakings imposed by the world,” wrote Scorpio philosopher Roland Barthes. Why did he do this? For the sake of love, he said — even though he knew it might cause him to act like a lunatic as it freed up tremendous energy. Would you consider pursuing a course like that in the coming weeks, Scorpio? In my astrological opinion, you have earned some time off from the grind. You need a break from the numbing procession of the usual daily rhythms. Is there any captivating person, animal, adventure, or idea that might so thoroughly incite your imagination that you’d be open to acting like a lunatic lover with boundless vigor?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Difficulties illuminate existence,” says novelist Tom Robbins, “but they must be fresh and of high quality.” Your assignment, Sagittarius, is to go out in search of the freshest and highest-quality difficulties you can track down. You’re slipping into a magical phase of your astrological cycle when you will have exceptional skill at rounding up useful dilemmas and exciting riddles. Please take full advantage! Welcome this rich opportunity to outgrow and escape boring old problems.

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I’ve got a controversial message for you, Pisces. If you’re addicted to your problems or if you’re convinced that cynicism is a supreme mark of intelligence, what I’ll say may be offensive. Nevertheless, it’s my duty as your oracle to inform you of the cosmic tendencies, and so I will proceed. For the sake of your mental health and the future of your relationship with love, consider the possibility that the following counsel from French author André Gide is just what you need to hear right now: “Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.”

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In one of his diaries, author Franz Kafka made this declaration: “Life’s splendor forever lies in wait around each one of us in all of its fullness — but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.” I’m bringing this promise to your attention, Aquarius, because you have more power than usual to call forth a command performance of life’s hidden splendor. You can coax it to the surface and bid it to spill over into your daily rhythm. For best results, be magnificent as you invoke the magnificence.

Jane bought the home from her mother, who originally lived in an older home on the same lot. Jane remembers that her mom bought the older home, affectionately called “the little brown jug,” by approaching its owner and offering him $250,000, which was well over market value at that time, with a “take it or leave it” stance. The home was not for sale, but he took the offer. Jane reports that the neighbors at the time thought mom was crazy for paying such a high price. However, mom moved in, put a brand-new home on the lot in 2004, and then sold it to Jane. As Jane settled in, she transformed the new,

Address: 349 Ash Avenue, Carpinteria Status: Not for sale When I told my mom that I’d been invited to profile one of the Carpinteria Home & Garden Tour houses, her first

4·1·1 The Carpinteria Home and Garden Tour on Saturday, April 30, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., is a self-guided tour of five diverse homes throughout Carpinteria. Tickets are $30. See carpinteriabeautiful.org .

sunrises over the ocean on one side and sunsets reflecting against the mountains in the other direction. When mom and I walked over to visit Jane last week, quintessential kitschy trailer-park flamingos greeted us as we approached her front door. Jane has her own style, and it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. “Some people don’t like the flamingos,” Jane confirmed,“but I tell them they can go find something of their own to worry about.” Jane obviously has her own opinions, too. I liked her immediately. As we walked through her home, the style was exemplified in every room and every corner. Hanging just inside the front door is a

pristine, white home to better reflect her artsy, funky, colorful personal style. Over the ensuing years, she has replaced the floors, sinks, and kitchen countertops. While these elements are solid and stylish, it’s the artistic touches that truly define Jane’s house. One other change that Jane made to the house was the addition out the back door of a custom “catio”—a deck that was designed, built, fenced, and specially outfitted to serve as a playroom for Wizard and Zeddie, Jane’s two adopted felines. The catification of the house includes this outdoor kitty playland, which can be locked to keep the cats safe, and a special pet door in the bathroom that leads to their litter box in an outdoor shed, so that their outhouse is really out of the house. As I prepared to leave, my mom, Jane, and I stood on the front porch admiring her yard all along the marsh side of her house, which she aptly describes as 18 inches wide and 50 feet long. We all agreed that the long, skinny strip is a perfect size: plenty of room to plant yet not too much space to maintain. I noticed a couple more flamingos on that side of Jane’s house. These were in addition to the ones I had seen walking up from the other direction. If you’re going to give the neighbors something to talk about, might as well do it right. We had to rush off because my mom had another appointment to get to, naturally. I was glad to know that I’ll have another chance to visit Jane’s place at the Home & Garden Tour next week.

modern mobile sculpture made of colored screens bouncing jauntily in the wind. The art on her living room walls ranges from two bold self-portraits of her late aunt to a rhinestone-studded steer’s skull created by Jane to a hand-tinted photograph of her great-grandparents. A colorful collection of masks and tribal art on an even more colorful hand-painted corner shelf grabbed my attention until a fanciful whale painted directly on one wall grabbed it back. Jane has a story for almost every piece of artwork and piece of furniture in her house.

comment, not surprisingly, was “Fantastic. I’m volunteering as a host at one of the homes,” followed quickly by “Oh, you should write about my friend Jane’s house. It’s the one here at Silver Sands.”As I mentioned, mom is the busiest person I know— know she’s involved with everything and knows everyone. Silver Sands Mobile Home Park sits right on the edge of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve, and Jane Benefield’s house sits right on the edge of Silver Sands. She has an unobstructed 270-degree view of the preserve, with

y mother lives in a mobile home. There, I said it. In general, I’m not one to put on airs or care much about status symbols. I define success by living truly and happily, rather than by net worth or brand of car hood ornament. But I admit, when my mother was house shopping in Santa Barbara 15 years ago, and she asked me to come look at a home that she was considering, and I realized that said home was in a—shudder—mobile home park, I had a splitsecond involuntary recoil, followed by a momentary bout of snootiness. Mom? In a mobile home? A k a trailer park? Heaven forbid. However, when I saw her new hometo-be, I knew immediately that both the house itself and its setting were perfect. My short-lived snobbery was replaced with happiness that she had found the perfect home sweet home. My warm and fuzzy adoration of mom’s Carpinteria home choice has been reiterated over the ensuing years. She is one block to the beach and walking distance to the heart of quaint downtown Carp, and the small coastal town has been a perfect spot for the busiest person I know to volunteer, get involved, and lead a bustling life as a retiree. My admiration of the park itself was validated more officially recently, when Carpinteria Beautiful shared a preview of its upcoming Home & Garden Tour. Lo and behold, Silver Sands Park has an entry in this year’s annual showcase, among the estates, ranches, and historic homes that make up Carpinteria’s wide variety of residential offerings.

ceans, lakes, and rivers have been the dumping grounds for our waste for centuries. The diversity and life-carrying capacity of these waters have been devastated — the blighted state of lakes and rivers appearing earlier because of their smaller size and greater vulnerability to being overwhelmed by waste and toxins. Our oceans have long been considered immune to these abuses, but the cumulative impact is now manifesting how inaccurate this notion is, as evidenced by depleted fisheries, large dead zones, marine bio-extinctions, trash gyres, and changing acidity. Recently, I watched a TED talk by Bren Smith, a reformed fisherman, by Dennis Allen about three-dimensional ocean farming. He operates just such an innovative farm off the coast of New England. The basis of his system is kelp — the second fastest-growing plant on the planet, which also happens to capture five times more carbon than any terrestrial plant. The potential for carbon sequestration is enormous. Bren’s farm is unlike any monoculture fish farm in that it uses zero inputs and builds resilience. The kelp can be harvested into nutritious food, used for soil fertilizer, or processed into biofuel for energy. To add diversity to his plot, he raises oysters and clams in cages on the ocean floor plus mussels and scallops in vertical tube-like structures. His kelp forest provides food and a protected nursery environment for 150 species of fish. The three dimensionality and biodiversity of this type of aquatic farming provides an invaluable first line of defense against hurricanes and ocean storms. The plants and creatures may suffer damage, but they rebound rapidly. This buff buffering will be increasingly important as monster weather events linked to climate change become more frequent. Degraded bays and barren coastal areas can be regenerated in short order when nurtured by Bren’s type of productive, restorative farming. For example, each of the oysters he raises filters between 30-50 gallons of sea water each day — pulling in nitrogen that helps restore dead zones. Based on his yields, Bren calculates that farms like his totaling an area half the size of Maine could produce enough biofuel to replace all the petroleum consumed in the United States. Or if used for food, 3D aquatic farming on a scale equal to the area of Washington State could feed the entire world. Although the research and experimentation taking place on these farms are in the early stages, the results to date are promising on many fronts. Such a venture is about to launch on a 25-acre plot just off shore near UCSB. Stay tuned, and in the meantime, take a look at Bren Smith’s TED talk.

n a crowded market of good decorating books, Frances Schultz’s title has resonated with readers for combining a dismal but humorous personal memoir with practical interior design tips. “The first sentence of my story, I’m sorry to say, ends with a heartbreak,” says Schultz, author of The Bee Cottage Story, a book based on her popular House Beautiful magazine series on the makeover of her cottage in Bridgehampton, New York. “Decorating and renovating the house became a metaphor for renovating life — my head and my heart,” she says of her publication, which details her life after a broken engagement with her fiancé. “What I experienced is something that I think many women have experienced in some form or another.” The popularity of the book may also rest in the accessible design concepts — largely based on color choices, furniture arrangement, and smaller details.“Decorating is kind of like good manners,” says Schultz. “It’s all really based in common sense, not attempts to intimidate.” Schultz grew up in North Carolina with a tasteful mother who shared many of her Southern customs and design aesthetic with her daughter. Schultz later brought her flair for Southern hospitality to New York City, where she branched

out her established journalism career to serve as the editor at large of Veranda, and later spent six years hosting the cable television show Southern Living Presents. Schultz now brings her design sense to California’s cottage gardens and bungalows from her new home in the Santa Ynez Valley. “There are definitely concepts that apply everywhere,” she says of translating the book’s advice to work for Santa Barbara’s architectural styles. Schultz’s primary advice is to first think of the way you live in each space. “If you don’t have a really clear design sense and vision, move in and just kind of put things in the middle of the room, and let them find their places,” she says. Schultz says that light and space play a big part in choosing color and décor and that sometimes it just takes a little practice to get it right. “I have stayed up by myself with a glass of wine and pushed every piece of furniture around for the third time in five years,” she says of decorating her spacious living room. “I just could not get it right. And I know what I’m doing!” Schultz is busy speaking and traveling to promote her book, which is in its sixth edition, but her dream project would be to collaborate on a line of housewares, accessories, and small furnishings. “It would center on your grand English aunt meets your eccentric Southern cousin kind of thing,” she says. Schultz has traveled widely in Europe and has a special connection to the aesthetics of English and French gardens and country homes. “They are never quite perfect; they are a little messed up, a little frayed,” she says. “I like that. It shows that there’s some living going on and that comfort and functionality are just as important as appearance.” n

meals were served on Wedgwood china, while staff dressed in silk pantaloons and turbans in keeping with the exotic theme. The Samarkand had its own house orchestra. The second manager of the hotel, Charles Hervey, who came on board six months after the opening, was known as “The Caliph.” The highlight of the opening was a performance by the world-renowned dancers, Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis. One reviewer noted that “Miss St. Denis’ Hindu dances captivated the audience.” The hotel enjoyed initial success, but the opening of other hotels, the onset of the Depression, and the hotel’s somewhat isolated location hurt business. Hervey tried to combat this last situation by contracting with an aircraft company to provide an air shuttle service to and from the grounds. This was soon abandoned. In the 1930s, Alma Spreckels, widow of the sugar magnate, bought the hotel and poured some $200,000 into renovations, including a new pool, tennis courts, and clubhouse. The lake was filled in during this period. It was all to no avail, and in 1940 she traded the hotel for a Marin County dairy farm. The new owner sold some of the hotel acreage to a developer, and other owners followed. During World War II, the Samarkand became an R&R facility for servicemen. In 1955, the hotel and its remaining 16 acres were sold to Samarkand of Santa Barbara, Inc., and Samarkand then became a retirement community. Expansion and massive renovations in the 1980s and 1990s virtually obliterated any structural remains of the hotel. Today, the Evangelical Covenant Church operates a facility that offers its residents a wide range of accommodations and health care.

ctually, The Samarkand retirement community on Treasure Drive has undergone two metamorphoses. It was first an innovative and ultimately controversial boarding school called Boyland. It was then transformed into a luxury hotel and finally into a retirement complex. In 1913, Prynce Hopkins opened a school for boys on 13 acres of the Riviera. A highly educated world traveler, Hopkins was one of the earliest practitioners of the Montessori educational method. Looking to enlarge the school, in 1915 he bought 32 acres at the Samarkand site and built a facility with architectural elements reminiscent of ancient Persia. The most unusual feature of the school was the artificial lake with its map of the world. This allowed the boys to sail the “world oceans” in small boats. The continents even featured smoking volcanoes and running rivers. Hopkins was a confirmed pacifist, and his outspoken views resulted in his arrest in the spring of 1918 under the Espionage Act, in the midst of U.S. involvement in World War I. The ensuing controversy resulted in the closure of Boyland. During the influenza epidemic later that year, which killed millions worldwide, the school became a temporary hospital. In 1920, Hopkins’s mother, Mary, opened the Samarkand Hotel. The new hotel was designed to cater to a wealthier clientele. Every sitting room had a fireplace, and all rooms had steam heating. The terraced gardens featured a number of lily ponds, and the lake was framed by a rose-festooned pergola. The grounds also boasted a bowling green and tennis courts. Golfing guests had full privileges at La Cumbre Country Club. Inside, the hotel offered a ballroom, game room, and a small theater. All
