Much as The Santa Barbara Independent enjoys running contests, we really love winning them! This past week rained Better Newspapers Contest awards from the California Newspaper Publishers Association, most notably when photographer Paul Wellman swept the weekly newspaper categories for photo illustration with the multiple-exposure image above of Olympian Ashton Eaton. Writers and designers got in on the praise with first-place wins for our Refugio Oil Spill coverage, Matt Kettmann’s “Flexing Muscles Over Mussels,” Tyler Hayden’s “Game of Drones,” and Keith Hamm’s “Sharks Alive.” Nick Welsh’s Angry Poodle Barbecue column and John Zant’s “Shooting Star” feature won seconds, as did a colorful advertising insert, with thirds going to stellar promo ads designed by Marianne Kuga and our sparkling new Real Estate section. paul wellman

A five-month joint investigation by Santa Barbara police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives resulted in 20 drug- and firearm-related arrests in the City of Santa Barbara as of 4/29. Informants for the federal agency worked with the police Narcotics Unit to conduct a series of undercover drug and weapon buys. The agencies seized 10 firearms, more than three ounces of methamphetamine, two ounces of cocaine, and less than an ounce of heroin. Detectives are still searching for two men and one woman who on 3/29 reportedly stole five Rolex watches from Silverhorn, the jewelry store inside Montecito’s Four Seasons The Biltmore hotel. The luxury watches, valued at $35,500 all together, were stolen around 3 p.m. over a month ago. Video clips and surveillance photos are now being released, authorities said, to catalyze the ongoing investigation. Authorities are warning residents to lock their homes and car doors after a total of 21 cars and homes were burglarized in the past two weeks in Carpinteria, Summerland, and Montecito. From 4/22-4/24, several cars were reported stolen in Montecito. The night of 4/27 saw 10 thefts from cars in unincorporated Carpinteria, north of Via Real, near Venice Lane and Via Marcina. Last week, six cars or homes were burglarized in Carpinteria around Cameo Road and Canalino Drive.

CITY & COUNTY In a major change of position, the city’s transportation committee voted unanimously on 4/28 in favor of locating a downtown bike lane on Sola Street as opposed to Micheltorena Street, once deemed the cheapest option. A limited bike lane will run on the block of West Micheltorena Street between Castillo and Bath streets. At issue is whether it’s to be on both sides or just one. The Micheltorena Neighborhood Association is pushing the latter; the city — and the Bicycle Coalition — are pushing the former. The U.S. Navy announced that on 5/16 it will reopen San Miguel Island to the public in time for the summer season, more than two years after it closed the former bombing range to look for unexploded ordnance. The discovery of potentially dangerous, but ultimately harmless, materials prompted the closure. The Navy surveyed 18 miles of marked trails and high-use areas and found 125 munition items, such as practice bombs, bomb fragments, and fuses. No explosives were discovered, but visitors must now sign an access permit and liability waiver to access the property. The Navy also said the island won’t be open if there isn’t a ranger to escort visitors. Some members of the Cachuma Operation and Maintenance Board (COMB) are pushing for changes in how much water

Of that, 2.1 acre-feet goes into the stilling basin below the dam and then down the main stem of the Santa Ynez River. Because there are predatory fish in the stilling basin that eat steelhead fry, they argue this effort is fundamentally flawed. Instead, they are seeking permission to release the steelhead water down Hilton Creek, which currently gets 1.1 acre-feet a day.

After a six-month search that fielded 42 applicants, the Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees has selected the school’s next leader. Starting July 1, Dr. Anthony Beebe (pictured) will take the helm of the 107-year-old institution, replacing President Lori Gaskin, who announced her retirement last fall. Beebe has 20 years of experience in leadership roles at various community colleges, most recently as president of San Diego City College. At a candidate forum on April 25, Beebe cited enrollment and financial management as the college’s pressing issues, adding, “Reconnecting with the community is really a critical, critical piece.” Beebe will step into ongoing challenges involving disruptive student behavior in the surrounding Mesa neighborhoods, a severe lack of housing, and a drop in enrollment. “Dr. Beebe … understands that SBCC is the community’s college,” board President Marsha Croninger said in a statement. “I am confident that under his leadership SBCC will further enhance its tradition of academic excellence while building upon its outreach to the community for the collective benefit of all.” Beebe grew up on a farm in Oregon and was a firefighter when he discovered his educational path while training recruits. He holds a doctor of education degree from Oregon State University, an MBA from CSU Sacramento, a bachelor’s in business administration from the University of Oregon, and an AA from Oregon’s Lane Community College. He is currently completing a second doctoral program with Santa — Keith Hamm Barbara’s Fielding Graduate University.

Religious leaders and 30 community members rallied on May Day outside the University United Methodist Church to declare Isla Vista an LGBTQ “safe zone.” Recently, a separate congregation had invited a speaker who made homophobic comments at the 892 Camino del Sur church. Leading the 5/1 gathering was human rights activist Rev. Frank Schaefer, who hoisted a rainbow flag in front of the building to declare the church a safe space for all people.

A new study by NerdWallet names the City of Santa Barbara as one of 17 American cities where women workers out-earn their male colleagues. In 2014, full-time female workers across all industries in Santa Barbara made 15.4 percent more annually than their male counterparts. But monthly rent drained 40.4 percent of those women’s median earnings — notably the highest earnings above men and the steepest rent stats on the finance website’s top-100 cities for women in the workforce, which ranks Santa Barbara last.

Antioch University’s governing board on 4/28 named Dr. William Flores president of its Santa Barbara campus. The institution’s fourth-ever leader, he succeeds Dr. Nancy Leffert, who retires at the end of June after seven years as president. Most recently, Flores served six years as president of the University of Houston-Downtown, which under his guidance expanded its online degree program, opened a satellite campus in northwest Houston, and prioritized community service.

Efforts to protect Summerland Beach from aging, seeping oil wells made headway in a State Assembly budget subcommittee last week. Pending legislative approval and Gov. Jerry Brown’s signature, a tentative $900,000 was set aside to remove 200 leaky wells over two years. The panel also voted to fund 17 pipeline-inspector positions within the Office of the State Fire Marshal, requirements linked to stricter pipeline-safety laws by State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson and Assemblymember Das Williams.

UCSB global studies scholars contend the E.U.-Turkey migration deal addressing the refugee crisis in Greece is not only illegal under international law but also driven by far-right nationalism and rising xenophobia. Effective 4/20, for every Syrian the E.U. sends back to Turkey, a Syrian in Turkey is resettled in Europe; the deal caps the number of Syrians allowed to enter Europe from Turkey at 72,000. The scholars say it’s economic security, rather than fears of terrorism, fueling antiimmigrant sentiments. n

Counting Candidate War Chests from 1st to 4th

by k e l s e y B r u G G e r n the race to represent the 1st supervisorial district, Das Williams, a Democratic state Assemblymember, has $341,200 at his disposal—triple that of his opponent Jennifer Christensen, Santa Barbara County’s investment officer, who is registered as declined to state a party preference. Much of Williams’s cash on hand is money he transferred from his Assembly committee. Last year, Williams also opened a committee titled Senate 2020, a fact that has fueled his critics’ accusation he is merely an opportunistic politician hoping to use the seat as a placeholder for higher office. “I didn’t file papers to run for Senate,” Williams said in a recent interview. “What has been brought up is a lie. I had a committee open to raise money for my political allies … . If that’s the worst attack they can make, I must be a Boy Scout.” Asked then if he was a Boy Scout, Williams said, “No human being is pure. But my desire to serve is pretty pure.” Williams recently spent down the account, giving about $15,000 of the $42,500 in it this year to his supervisorial campaign coffers. He also gave $10,900 back to donors, including $4,000 to the Santa Ynez Band of Mission Indians. The rest was spent on fundraising events, airfare, and a number of Democratic state and federal campaigns. (Though Williams received zero dollars from the Chumash in Senate 2020, he did bring in $23,000 total from other Indian tribes.) As for his bid for 1st District — which includes Carpinteria, Montecito, and Santa Barbara —Williams’s big donors through April 23 include top Measure P backer Richard Mazess ($20,000), the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers ($5,000), and the California Association of Physician Groups’ political action committee ($5,000). Unlike federal and state campaigns, Santa Barbara County supervisorial campaigns have no cap on the amount individuals can contribute. Christensen — a first-time candidate who has worked nearly 15 years for the county— county has $112,524 on hand. That includes a $30,000 loan from longtime Santa Barbara real estate mogul Morris Jurkowitz. He also gave her $10,000. Her other big donors include County Supervisor Peter Adam’s massive family business, Adam Brothers Farming ($9,000), and Highway 101 widening opponents Ron Pulice ($20,000) and Bob Short ($12,000). Christensen supporters contend money raised solely for this supervisorial race is competitive. independent.com

So far this year, Williams has spent $219,000; Christensen has spent $164,000. Both have TV ads that hit the airways in recent weeks. Of the five candidates vying to represent the 3rd District— District the largest district, which encompasses the Santa Ynez Valley, the Gaviota Coast, and Isla Vista — Bruce Porter, a financial advisor and army veteran with many conservative supporters, has raised the most, with $103,697 cash on hand. His major donors include Adam Brothers Farming ($10,000), Betteravia Farms ($10,000), a Happy Canyon Vineyard rancher ($5,000), and attorney Lawrence Grassini ($5,000). Joan Hartmann, a former environmental attorney and public policy professor, has $70,353 on hand. Her major contributors include Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County ($3,000), World Business Academy’s founding president Rinaldo Brutoco ($5,000), Mazess ($5,000), attorney and preservationist Kim Kimbell ($5,000), and former Community Environmental Council boardmember Diane Boss ($5,000). Coincidently, Jay Freeman—left-leaning founder of the multimillion-dollar technology company Cydia — and Bob Field, a retired dot-comer, both gave themselves $20,000 thus far; they both have about $11,000 left to spend. As has been reported, Field, a registered Republican, contributed $1,000 to Hartmann’s campaign; land use is his primary issue. He also gave Christensen $100 because she is “rock solid” on financial matters, he said, though he did not know exactly where she stands on land-use matters. Karen Jones, an unpaid music promoter in the Santa Ynez Valley, signed a form with the election’s office to spend less than $2,000 when she started her campaign. Thus far, her expenses—24 reusable bags and a fullpage color ad in the Santa Ynez Valley Star — remain under budget. Jones said the “sense of obligation that accompanies taking money” caused her to decline to accept money from friends. “Nobody owns me,” she said. In the 4th District, Eddie Ozeta, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) board president and county eligibility worker, is challenging incumbent Adam. Ozeta has $11,712 in his campaign coffers, about a quarter of which he loaned himself.Adam, meanwhile, has about $26,000 at his disposal. His major donors include ERG Operating Company ($5,000) and Teixeira Farms ($2,500).

yOuNG BLOOd: Kenneth Kahn, 39, takes Vincent Armenta’s place in Chumash-County negotiations.

independent.com

The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians announced on Friday that Kenneth Kahn was elected chair after Vincent Armenta stepped down after 17 years to attend the Culinary Institute of America. Kahn, 39, who was born and raised on the reservation, was the youngest member to ever be elected to the council at age 25. As a child, Kahn saw the tribe completely impoverished — no running water or electricity. They subsisted on USDA truckloads of block cheese, canned pork, and powdered milk, he said.“From the outside looking in, it was ‘the poor Indians,’” he said. “On the inside, we had a community.” As former vice chair, Kahn had participated in a series of monthly talks with Armenta and county supervisors Doreen Farr and Peter Adam in the past half year. The first of their kind in a decade, the talks were convened to negotiate a deal in which the tribe would make payments in lieu of property taxes. (The tribe submitted applications to the Bureau of Indian Affairs to expand its existing reservation, including the 1,400-acre property known as Camp 4.) In these meetings, Kahn was often viewed as the “good cop,” while Armenta was seen as bold and blunt. Asked if he agreed with that synopsis and if his demeanor would change now, Kahn said, “bottom line is I am a communicator … I am the ‘good cop’ on issues that fit the tribe. I’m going to be tough. My colleagues stand in the same position. We’re very focused on fairness.” Asked about his take on the success of the monthly meetings, Kahn said, “We’re hopeful. We wouldn’t be sitting down if we weren’t.” As for his goals, Kahn hopes to enhance community on and off the reservation. “If we don’t do that, we’re just going to stay the same course. The tribe is progressive.” — Kelsey Brugger

Medical May expand rehab

Santa Barbara County currently has no 90-day residential drug and alcohol treatment for MediCal recipients, except for pregnant women, and never has. Under a new program unveiled at this week’s supervisors’ meeting, that could change. When that could start and who might provide this care remain questions as yet unanswered. But county Behavioral Wellness executive Alice Gleghorn explained that there’s now an opportunity for state and federal funding for such a program, assuming she and John Doyel — Drug and Alcohol czar — can craft a plan that passes muster with MediCal administrators. That plan has yet to be written. But Gleghorn and Doyel acknowledged it must contain provisions for 90-day residential rehab care for any qualifying addict. The Affordable Care Act has dramatically increased the number of MediCal enrollees, and another federal law requires insurance policies to provide the same amount of mental health coverage as it does traditional medical care. Furthermore, the feds have relaxed rules making it all but impossible for facilities with more than 16 beds to obtain necessary licenses and permits. “This is huge,” exclaimed Gleghorn, who in her previous job with San Francisco County Health helped expand treatment options for those facing addiction issues. Of the county’s 4,800 unique clients seeking drug and alcohol treatment, roughly 480 — 10 percent — might need residential treatment, said Doyel. With the expansion of MediCal enrollees under the Affordable Care Act early this year, he stated his case load increased by 1,200. The real challenge, both agreed, will be finding a provider capable of delivering the — Nick Welsh residential care.

had more skills and been seduced by the educational system. You’ve spent a lot of time trying to make the educational system more invigorating. I’m gonna say this for the record: What George Bush and Ted Kennedy did to education is going to live long after them. This “No Child Left Behind” concept has taken curiosity out of education. We have a bunch of sleep-deprived children because we are overdoing school. I don’t see how any parent can look at a child and say,“five hours of sleep is enough for a teenager.”What we have done to take curiosity out of school is a sin. In 2008 you gave Obama money. Who are you supporting now? I like Hillary. Any reason in particular? Or is it more she’s not Ted Cruz or Donald Trump? Probably that. When I was younger, I went to Europe when Nixon was president, and I almost got into a fight because I was American and Nixon was the president. Can you imagine if Donald Trump is our president? People will probably spit at you. You know, when Donald Trump says we’re not a great country and he’s going to make America great again, nothing could piss me off more. We are a great country! We take for granted that people stop on red lights and go on green lights. We have a code of behavior, a civility. We have an unbelievable civil society. Is there any part of you as an entrepreneur that says, “I’m an entrepreneur and Donald Trump is, too?” No. No, I can assure you that as a businessperson, business is not a training ground for government. Anybody who thinks business skills can translate to government skills is totally wrong. You know, President Eisenhower used to say, “When I was a general, I would just tell somebody to do something, and they would do it. When I became president and I’d say do something, they just wouldn’t do it.” That’s politics. You can’t use the same autocratic behavior you use in business; you’ve got to use delicate behavior. Why do you think he’s gotten so far? I think that there are a lot of folks who are angry.

Look at the middle class. How could they ever get their head above water? The only thing I’ve seen since the Reagan Revolution is the wealthier getting wealthier, perfectly good homes in Montecito, kitchens, being remodeled for no purpose, just because they’re yellow or green, or “I want the trash compactor here.” I think that we are too top-heavy. Throughout the whole history of mankind, the poor have come and beat the shit out of the rich and wiped them out. We’re exacerbating these social tensions. A lot.

And you think that’s gonna happen? If we continue to lose the middle class, we’re gonna have real problems. To get back to the Impact Hub, so how do you see this making a difference? Well, that’s a very good lead-in, because we are going to solve a lot of our problems with individuals solving individual problems through entrepreneurship. I don’t know if it will be a grandiose government solution, but I think that something will come out of the Impact Hub that will solve a lot of our issues in society. In other Impact Hubs, has anything big or notable emerged? If you looked back in history, it’s always the thinkers who’ve had the impact. Who had more influence in the 19th century? Was it Napoleon or Lincoln? No, it was Darwin. Darwin has had much more impact on who I am today and on modern medicine than any of the political leaders ever. I probably wouldn’t be alive. The thought-leaders are the leaders of society. We’re just a bunch of thought-leaders here. What do you do for fun? I teach school. I teach at USC and Loyola. I go to lunch; I take a nap; I go to breakfast with my friends; I have no pressure. I’ll tell you what’s really nice about my life right now: I get to think about what I want to think about. When I was in business, I was thinking about what my employees wanted and what my customers wanted … . It’s nice not thinking and being on recess. n

How The Donald Reprised the Immigrant Experience at GOP Convention

he site where the Secret Service smuggled Donald Trump into the California Republican Party convention turned into a tourist attraction, less than 24 hours after the clandestine operation. Agents furtively spirited the GOP’s likely presidential nominee inside last weekend’s meet-up to evade anti-Trump protesters massed in front of the Hyatt Regency hotel, near San Francisco International Airport: Suddenly stopping his motorcade on the 101, they hustled the great man down a drainage ditch, through a hole they hastily cut in a fence, and up a windswept embankment, then led him into the building’s back entrance and through a kitchen with just one stop: Trump halted his entourage at an employee break area mirror, according to an eyewitness, to adjust his windswept coif. There were no other injuries. The next morning, following widespread coverage of the escapade, at least one local resident swerved onto the highway shoulder to check things out. He shooed three kids from his car and marched them to the gap in the green fence for a couple of cell phone pics. “They’re kind of liberal,” he told two reporters who were piecing together Trump’s trek.“It’s important for them to see this.” Next stop: the Lincoln Memorial. UNITY, OR NOT: The irony of Trump,

scourge of those who sneak across the Mexican border, skulking into his own party’s convention using comparable methods, was so rich that not even he, notoriously heedless and humorless about his own foibles, could miss it. “This was not the easiest entrance I’ve ever made,” he told 600 people in the banquet hall upon his late arrival.“We went under a fence and through a fence, and, oh boy, it felt like I was crossing the border, actually.” Alas for Trump, the one-liner was about the only highlight of his convention speech. In a 20-minute reprise of his standard shtick of narcissism and cheap insults, he managed not only to slander his GOP rivals (Texas Senator Ted Cruz as “Lyin’ Ted” and Ohio Gov. John Kasich as “disgusting”) but also to disparage Republican loyalists, volunteers, and activists who’ve kept things going through years of political privation. “There should be and there has to be unity,” Trump said at one point, before quickly adding: “Would I win, can I win without it? I think so.” Repeating his hollow call for solidarity, he later expressed contempt for Cruz and Kasich, saying he has neither desire nor need for their support—nor, presumably, for that of millions of Republicans who have voted for them.

“Ideally, we’re going to be together,” he said later, “I think we’re going to win even if we’re not together. There are some people I honestly don’t want their endorsement.” WILSON’S GAMBIT: Cruz dropped out

of the race May 3 after getting stomped by Trump in the Indiana primary. A few days earlier, however, he was the favorite of the state convention crowd and his state strategists have harbored long-shot hopes that the congressional district-by-district process of delegate selection would help his superior grassroots organization blunt, if not overcome, Trump’s polling lead by the June 7 primary. Now, however, California will be merely a mathematical end game for the front-runner to clinch the last of the 1,237 national convention delegates he needs. calbuzz.com

Still, it was notable that Cruz during the weekend coaxed an endorsement from 82-year-old ex-governor and senator Pete Wilson, dean of the California GOP elite and the last Republican who fashioned a successful statewide career in California. He is best known for his 1994 campaign for the anti-immigrant Proposition 187, which inflicted long-lasting damage to his party among Latino voters, and his nod to Cruz is consistent on that issue. It is often forgotten, however, that Wilson governed primarily as a moderate, who was pro-choice on abortion rights, imposed higher taxes to fix the budget, supported environmental protections, and embraced bipartisan compromise, all positions loathed by Cruz. So Wilson’s move also demonstrates the desperation the state’s Republican establishment feels about the reality TV star’s nomination. Trump’s hateful bombast on immigration (in a state where polls show a large majority believe those here illegally should be allowed to stay), slurs against women, and volatile personality are all likely to undermine recent efforts by state GOP chair Jim Brulte to lead his party out of the wilderness by moderating its positions on cultural issues and cooling its harsh rhetoric on immigration. It is certain that California will stay deeply Democratic. If and when Trump returns to the state, he may be sneaking in n again.

A Dog by Any Other Name CRYING OVER SPILLED OIL: Hindsight, we

are told, is 20-20. Maybe that’s true. But after bushwhacking my way through two acronym-encrusted “action reports” assessing the cleanup efforts of last May’s Refugio pipeline rupture and oil spill —one issued this week by the Coast Guard, the other by the state’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response —I have serious doubts. The two reports prove what you see depends largely on where you happen to be standing. Reading the two tomes, I wondered if I ever occupied the same zip code as the authors. The reports are designed to highlight what worked well and what didn’t to better prepare for the next inevitable spill. Much ink was spent on media relations, public information, and community outreach. Glaring in its omission, however, was any mention of the media spin memo produced by the folks working the Joint Information Center (JIC) that proved so embarrassing when leaked. The memo suggested the media outreach teams reach out to “neutral to positive reporters” whom “we plan to target” to “help tell the ‘progress’ story.” The same memo included a detailed appendix providing background on the “neutral to positive” reporters they’d identified “as well as reasons for their selection.” Independent reporter Kelsey Brugger, for example, was described as “mostly balanced.” To be fair, there were bound to be prob-

lems. Representatives from 27 government agencies converged on Santa Barbara to put the 142,000-gallon oil spill genie back into its bottle after a major rupture of a Plains All American Pipeline located only spitting distance from the most scenic and eco-

logically unique coastal real estate in the world. At various times, up to 1,300 people

were engaged in various cleanup efforts, some using pressurized liquid nitrogen—we only now find out—to freeze-blast oil off some rocks and boulders. Those directing the cleanup efforts, both reports make clear, were blown away by the intensity of community response. The Coast Guard report noted large numbers of locals formed their own cleanup crews and “selfdeployed,” armed with hand tools and fivegallon buckets donated by an area hardware outlet. “The community response likely resulted from the perception of a slow and/or inadequate response given the presence of oil on shorelines and no response personnel on-scene at the time,” the Coast Guard found. Bordering on actual self-criticism, the report described a community that “understandably perceived an ineffectual response in light of the initial lack of response activity amid oiled beaches given prolonged responder and resource transit times on the first day.” For all the self-congratulatory details in both reports on how many people attended public information open houses and the pioneering use of social media, neither pro-

vided an actual timeline that lays out when the Coast Guard was first notified, when it mobilized a flotilla of cleanup vessels, and when actual cleanup and containment commenced. Conspicuously lacking from either is how much time elapsed between first notification and actual cleanup. Could it have gone faster? Would that have made a difference? I don’t pretend to know. But the people who wrote these reports should. In neither were these questions answered. Worse, they weren’t even asked. For the record, on June 18, I did. In writing. I sent an email to Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow of the Coast Guard, posing 12 very detailed questions in hopes of creating a verifiable timeline of the cleanup response. Wadlow is to be commended for remarkable grace and professionalism. But I still haven’t gotten an answer. Perhaps that’s understandable. As the Coast Guard report notes, there were “frequent unannounced personnel rotations” among public information officers assigned the oil spill. Coast Guard brass responded to problems created by this turnover, at least according to the report, by offering media helicopter tours of the spill area and offering them tours of the Incident Command Post. In hindsight, the Coast Guard report concluded they should have offered even more flights. Not to whine, but I was never offered a ride in any helicopter. Nor were any of my colleagues at The Independent. In hindsight, we certainly wish we had been. Not only would

it have provided powerful images that told the story in vast panoramic expanse; it would have been cool and fun. As for Incident Command, the presence of so many private security goons hired by Plains All American—the Guilty Party — had a chilling effect. Not only were reporters made to feel unwelcome; county supervisors Janet Wolf and Doreen Farr were stopped and asked what they were doing there. There was no mention in either report that the Guilty Party was a full partner in Unified Command, nor any mention of how that may have influenced the release of information. In the aftermath of the spill, reporters and photographers were routinely kept off area beaches. Indy photographer Paul Wellman recalls being told he was not allowed to shoot the railroad tracks—located conspicuously between the broken pipelines and the contaminated beach — upon order of Homeland Security. Wellman found access to the spill scene curtailed and had to sneak along on cleanup tours given by incident commanders to our elected officials. If you don’t do dumb stuff like that, you won’t need to “target” reporters deemed “neutral to positive.” For the record, my name was not among the list of favored reporters. Naturally, I was curious how they assessed my journalistic tendencies. What other reporters had they scouted and found wanting? I filed a detailed Public Records Act Request. Guess what? I’m still waiting. —Nick Welsh

Sydney Smith-O’Neill 03/31/42-04/25/16

Sydney died peacefully at Mission Terrace after a decade-long battle with Alzheimer's. Sydney was born and raised in Santa Barbara, graduating SBHS in 1959. She lived a full and exciting life. She spent many years in Hawaii and traveled extensively with her husband, Dennis, whom, she was married to for almost 30 years. They enjoyed living in Las Vegas and Long Beach, as well. At one point they bought a large RV and were hired as camp hosts at different campgrounds throughout the U.S. They loved their life and always made sure to watch every sunset. Sydney and sunsets go hand in hand. Sydney wore many hats in her job choices over the years, including but not limited to flight attendant, real estate agent, travel agent, beer and wine distributor, and receptionist for Paine Webber for many years, and her most favorite was being a professional extra in movies and TV. She loved being on Friends, Get Shorty, The Ellen Show, The Brady Bunch movie and so many more. Sydney was vivacious, hilarious, sarcastic, smart, witty, and an absolutely blast to be around. She could make anyone laugh, no matter what mood they were in. Her granddaughter, Nikki, said it best: “She was shiny.” She is survived by her husband, Dennis O'Neill; her brother, Alex Smith and her children, Leslie Sweeney (Bob), Darcy Limosnero (Ben) and Melanie GarstMcpherson (Sam). She absolutely adored and doted on her six grandchildren, Nikki Limo, Dane Limosnero, Robin Sweeney, Danny Sweeney, Ryan Sweeney and Addie Roach. She is preceded in death by her parents Hal C. Smith and Catherine F. RockSmith, and her brother Tony Smith.

Diane Segelbacher 10/25/33-04/17/16

Diane Segelbacher died peacefully at the beautiful Serenity House Hospice Home on April 17, 2016, after suffering for many years from heart disease. During her marriage to Dick Jamgochian she had three children, Robert, Kathy, and Ken. She leaves them behind, and their spouses, Ann, Joe Beyers and Stephanie. She had seven grandchildren, Madia and Chet Jamgochian, Amanda, Katie, and Kevin Gasik, and Rebecca and Sophia Jamgochian. "She also leaves behind her brother Richard Roetter." Diane was born and raised in Chicago and lived there until moving to Santa Barbara, where she raised her three children. She later married George Segelbacher in Carmel, where she resided for thirty years. Diane involved herself in many chari16

ties, including Meals on Wheels, The Harrison Memorial Foundation, Unicef, and The Carmel Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula Auxiliary. She took great pride in her cooking and shared her advice in a cooking column in a local paper called “Cooking with Derek and Diane.” Ever the entertainer, she loved to host parties and create great cocktails and festive foods. Gardening was her passion. She grew beautiful orchids and was a member of the Orchid Club. She passed on an interest in gardening to her son Robert, who now owns Mendocino Maples. Diane also loved politics and was always very quick to engage friends and family to discuss and debate current issues and elections. A natural beauty, Diane always took great pride in her well-kept looks and always had beautifully manicured and polished nails. Diane’s sense of humor, her love of holiday celebrations, and her socially conscious e-mails will be missed by all. She taught her family to be kind to all people and creatures they encountered on this earth and to respect the environment. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Serenity House, 930 Miramonte Dr., Santa Barbara CA 93108, or the Visiting Nurse and Hospice Care of Santa Barbara, 512 E. Gutierrez St., Santa Barbara CA 93103. Both agencies were remarkably compassionate and supportive to Diane.

year after Tom’s mother passed away. In the early 80s Florence worked as a teacher’s aide at La Cumbre Junior High School and later as a librarian assistant at Santa Barbara High School. Florence was very active in the community. At the Buddhist church, she was a Sunday school teacher, an advisor to the Young Buddhists Association and an active member of the Fujinkai, the women’s group at the Buddhist church. She was also active in Stan and Shirley’s school, and in their scouting and other activities. She and Tom traveled extensively, and she had a wide range of interests, including making dresses for her granddaughters, reading with her book group, hiking, ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), sumi-e (Japanese brush painting), and watercolor painting. Her generous and welcoming spirit were apparent to all who knew her. In December 2001, Florence suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and became severely disabled. Although such a brain injury can sometimes change one’s personality, this did not seem to happen in her case. Throughout this difficult period, Florence remained calm, strong, and happy, always greeting her many visitors with smiles and handshakes, Surviving Florence are her husband of 64 years, Tom; her brothers George and Frank (sister Ruby pre-deceased her); her son Stan; her daughter Shirley; and her daughter in law, Henri. Florence is also survived by her four grandchildren, Kate, Laura, Brandon, and Jason. The family wishes to thank the Visiting Nurse and Hospice Association of Santa Barbara and the many caregivers who have taken care of Florence over the past 14 years. There will be a memorial service for Florence at the Santa Barbara Buddhist Church on 1015 E. Montecito Street at 2:00 pm on Saturday, May 14.

Florence was born in Modesto, California, where her father owned a large general store. Florence started working at the store at the age of 10. As the oldest of four children with a Japanese father who spoke better Spanish than English, she was often called upon to be his interface to the outside world. Florence began shouldering responsibility at an early age. Along with many Japanese Americans, Florence and her family were sent to an internment camp after the start of WWII. She was 14. Her family spent 15 months at the Amache Relocation Center in Colorado. They subsequently moved to Denver, where Florence went to high school. After the war, Florence was determined to move back to California and graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in business administration. In 1951, Florence married Tom Tsunoda and moved to Santa Barbara. Stan was born the following year. Florence spent many years taking care of Tom’s father and mother. Her daughter, Shirley, was born about a

George Conk passed away peacefully at home on April 20. His son Stephen and daughter Nancy were with him. George’s wish was to once again be with Clare, his wife of 70 years, who passed away last year. He had just celebrated his 96th birthday on March 5 surrounded by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He lived a full life! George grew up in Gerritsen Beach, a poor Irish immigrant community in Brooklyn, NY. He worked on the Brooklyn docks to put himself through Fordham University and, after graduating in 1942, he joined the navy and served as captain of a sub-chaser in WWII until he was discharged in 1945. He and Clare married in 1945 and raised a family of five children. He shared with them his love of sailing and boating spending endless summer days on the water. In 1972 George moved his business and his family from Connecticut to Santa Barbara – a decision the whole family was grateful for. George sold his business and retired in 1979. It was an active retirement. George used his free time to travel overseas with Clare and to give back to the community. He served on the Board of Directors of Catholic Charities for the Los Angeles Archdiocese. He volunteered on overnight service at Transition House. For almost 25 years he was an Advisory Committee member for the City of Santa Barbara’s Parks and Recreation Commission. For more than 21

He is survived by his sister Barbara; brothers James, Mark, Daniel; and sister Marcia of Edward and Maria Caballero. Eddy will be remembered for his strong faith and his love for his family and hometown of Santa Barbara. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Edward Puentes Caballero, our loved and respected native of Santa Barbara, passed away peacefully on March 19, 2016. Eddy was born on February 4, 1924, the eldest son of Edward and Senona Caballero. His childhood memories include growing up surrounded by a large family that always gathered for celebrations, especially at the Old Spanish Days. Eddy Caballero was an honored World War II veteran and served his country from 1943 to 1946 in the U.S. Army, 736 Tank Battalion. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, Eddy participated in the landing at Omaha Beach, Normandy, the largest seaborne invasion in history. His military service continued throughout Europe. Thank you, Eddy, for your service. After the war, Eddy returned to his hometown of Santa Barbara to be reunited with his family. Later, he began doing what he always wanted to do: tree and landscaping work, and he operated his successful business in our community for 36 years. The annual Fiesta celebration in Santa Barbara was a great time for Eddy. Every year, he would build the Caballero family float for the Fiesta parade and plan a Fiesta party, because he liked making people happy. Eddy was a “natural-born dancer” and

Faction Factors

ast week’s “Gender Politics?” article [independent .com/genderpolitics] asks why Mayor Helene Schneider has so little support among women voters, noting her failure to get endorsements from either the Women’s Political Committee (despite being a past president) or Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County. Meanwhile, Supervisor Salud Carbajal has received the Dem Women endorsement and support from almost every major woman leader in the community. The answer is in the story, which notes that Salud received Planned Parenthood’s “Giraffe Award” for “sticking his neck out for choice.” If there is one thing I have seen Salud do again and again, it is to stick his neck out, even when it gets pretty thoroughly hacked at. He stayed out front for nearly two years as we worked on the county’s highly successful Responsible Pet Ownership Ordinance, he stood up in support of both Measure M and Measure P, and he was an early voice against increased oil train traffic. Where was Helene? When asked to help with the Responsible Pet Ownership Ordinance in the city, her operative called to tell me that she was handing it off to surrogates to avoid being associated with the controversy. She steered clear of the bipartisan campaign against Measure M, which would have locked the county into infrastructure spending at the expense of other key services. When approached about Measure P (the anti-fracking initiative), she promised to endorse, then spent the rest of the campaign dodging us, never delivering on that promise. It’s about leadership and courage, not about gender. That’s the explanation. — Lee Heller, Summerland

Real Progress, Vote Green

[Ed. Note: We run “Real Progress” in full, as the edited version last week was far removed from the author’s intent.] erry Robert’s column “Electoral Apartheid” suggests to me that the idea of citizens being politically

powerless is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. Roberts cites a study by Public Policy Institute of California that reveals broad social, economic, and political disparities between voters and nonvoters. This appears to offer proof that we have to take action before politicians will attend to our needs and institute progressive changes, like those long called for in Green Party platforms worldwide. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign seems in this regard an excellent example of one thing that happens when we don’t take such action. The presence of a vocal and active electorate — one that actually votes — has in the past been able to elicit at least token gestures from U.S. politicians. Clinton’s campaign may be an example of such tokenism, as I’m concerned she will not really be able to champion the changes the people of this nation need the most. Unfortunately, statistics and opinions seem prone to move the dialog in indistinct and hypothetical directions. Nonetheless, however it came to be, the fact that we don’t seem to elect national representatives who share the interests of all U.S. citizens (including people who aren’t even eligible to vote) speaks to far more tangible and demonstrable realities. It suggests that our two-party system has grown past thinking it needs to represent those interests, our interests, any more. And that, my friends, has been part of your local Green Party’s position since the 1980s. — Leo Raabe, S.B.

For the Record

¶ Overdose deaths in the U.S. from prescription opioids in 1999 and 2014 were about 4,000 and 18,000, respectively, not 4 million to 18 million as stated in the Angry Poodle Barbecue last week. Though suicides jumped from 29,199 to 42,773 during that period, the 24 percent rise referenced in the Poodle is the increase in the rate of suicides per 100,000 people: 10.5 in 1999 and 13 in 2014. ¶ The Garden Club of Santa Barbara was founded in 1916, not 1926, as last week’s Gardening column reported.

COLD WAR: With Russian jets buzzing U.S.

ships these days and the chill of cold war looming, a couple of wordsmiths I ran into at Loreto Plaza reminded me of the longforgotten “Battle of Palmdale.” The attempted shoot-down occurred on August 16, 1956, at a time when one of the U.S. Air Force’s major concerns was how to protect the country from Soviet long-range bombers. Our top interceptor was the Northrop F-89D Scorpion, then based at Oxnard AFB and other locations. On the morning of August 16, an unmanned World War II–era Grumman F6F-5K Hellcat drone, painted bright red, was launched from the Naval Air Station at nearby Point Mugu. Radio controllers sent it out over the Pacific Ocean on a test flight. But soon—horrors!—the lumbering propeller-driven Grumman stopped heeding commands and became a runaway, curving toward the city of Los Angeles. The Navy quickly notified Oxnard AFB (today’s Camarillo Airport), which scrambled two Scorpions. They headed south on full afterburner power, caught up with the Grumman at 30,000 feet, and waited for the plane to fly over an unpopulated area before shooting it down. The Scorpions were equipped with “Mighty Mouse” rockets and the new Hughes E-6 fire control system.

Meanwhile, the drone passed over L.A. and turned to circle over Santa Paula, then Fillmore and Frazier Park, heading for the largely uninhabited Antelope Valley. The interceptors went for the kill. Then something went wrong. According to Wikipedia, “[D]ue to a design flaw in the fire control system the rockets failed to launch.” Suddenly the runaway plane turned back toward L.A. The two pilots switched from automatic fire mode to manual fire control. But then they discovered that the gun sights had been removed, meaning that they had to manually aim the rockets. As the drone flew over Castaic, the first crew fired 42 rockets, completely missing the plane. The second interceptor unleashed another salvo of 42, but the rockets passed just beneath the plane, a few glancing off but not detonating. As the interceptors flew over Newhall, the two jets fired 64 more rockets at the Hellcat. None hit. But they didn’t give up. As the drone headed northeast toward the desert town of Palmdale, they each fired 30 more rockets, without success. In all, they had fired 208 rockets but failed to shoot the plane down. Low on fuel, the jets headed home. But the Hellcat flew on to Palmdale, its engine sputtering from lack of gas. While slowly descending, it severed three Edison power lines and crashed near

Edna Carlson, living on Third Street, said a chunk of shrapnel from a rocket came crashing through her front window, bounced off the ceiling, and came to rest in a kitchen cupboard. Another rocket crashed into the road in front of a car headed DRONE GONE WILD: A Grumman F6F-5K Hellcat drone like these was west on Route 138, shredding chased across the skies of Los Angeles County in 1956. a tire and punching holes in the body.

A LOT OF PROMISE: The SBCC Foundation turns 40 this year. Pictured (from left) are Board of Directors President Madeleine Jacobson, Chief Executive Officer Geoff Green, Ex Officio and SBCC President Lori Gaskin, incoming Ex Officio and SBCC Executive Vice President Paul Jarrell, and Ex Officio and Interim SBCC Executive Vice President Marilynn Spaventa.

A Promise Is a Promise City College Pledges Two Free Years for Santa Barbara Grads

hen Geoff Green took over the helm at

Santa Barbara City College Foundation 15 months ago, he had a handful of priorities at the top of his to-do list. The first few — balancing the budget and modernizing operations — presented challenges of the nose-to-thegrindstone variety. The big one, however, required a lot more intellectual creativity and salesmanship, with no promise of success: He set out to expand the foundation’s donor base. To succeed, Green would need to regalvanize SBCC’s relationship to greater Santa Barbara.

By Keith hamm Plagued by budgetary woes and a critical lack of student housing, the college’s century-old connection to surrounding neighborhoods and beyond had become strained in recent years, presenting a deeply layered puzzle daunting even to Green, the preeminent advocate and grassroots fundraiser who had previously headed up the Fund for Santa Barbara for 12 years. But that was then. These days, it looks like he’s really onto something. He calls it the SBCC Promise. Starting this fall, any student who completes his or her secondary education, earning a high school diploma or its equivalent, within the college’s

district, which stretches along the South Coast from Gaviota to Rincon, can attend SBCC full-time for two years without having to pay for tuition, fees, books, or supplies. There’s no catch. Rich or poor, brown or white, homeschooled homebody or private-school valedictorian — they’re all eligible for the Promise. “Santa Barbara’s Promise seems really geared toward eliminating any barrier to long-term academic success,” said Martha Parham, senior vice president of public relations at the American Association of Community Colleges in Washington, D.C. “We know that full-time students have better

performance and completion rates, so these types of programs provide pathways to opportunities that many students do not currently have.” The Promise comes with a few conditions. First up, the student must enroll within 12 months of obtaining a high school diploma or its equivalent or upon discharge from military service (if he or she enlisted straight out of high school) and take at least 12 units per semester. Students will also need to establish and follow a two-year Student Educational Plan, which includes, for example, checking off general-ed prerequisites before transferring to a four-year university or securing a two-year associate of arts degree. For help on that front, students must periodically check in with an academic counselor. While the Promise does not require a minimum grade-point average to qualify, once a student is enrolled, SBCC’s longstanding GPA probationary standards will apply. Secondary education documents will be used to verify a student’s geographic eligibility. The Promise will also offer free summer school, with no unit minimum.

‘If [the SBCC Promise] was funded by a tax or a bond, people would certainly challenge it. But this is money coming from private donors and foundations that are choosing to support this effort because they recognize how transformative it will be.’ —SBCC Foundation CEO Geoff Green

Waiver. Today at SBCC, about two-thirds of new enrollments annually utilize these BOG waivers, as they’re called, mirroring the statewide average. “When compared with other states, California has been pretty good when it comes to supporting community colleges with relatively low tuition and with BOG waivers,” Green explained. “But it’s all focused on tuition, which is typically only 20 percent of the financial burden a student faces. We’re tackling the other 80 percent,” specifically books and supplies. The climbing cost of textbooks — and their rapid obsolescence—has long been a point of contention for students and faculty alike. At a recent SBCC Board of Trustees meeting, Marilynn Spaventa, SBCC’s interim executive vice president of educational programs, mentioned that some students don’t buy textbooks they can’t afford— afford especially in math and science — and soon fall behind in class. She added that many teachers are exploring open-source course material and negotiating with publishers for better pricing. Class supplies can be another sizable expense.

As Green hopes to inspire kids who wouldn’t normally chase a college degree, he also suspects that the program will motivate part-time students to go full-time and push full-time students to wrap up their SBCC studies within two years.

SHOW ME THE MONEY Historically, California community colleges charged no tuition or fees. Things changed in 1978 with Proposition 13, which put a cap on property taxes, the main source of school funding. By 1984, such budget limitations resulted in mandatory enrollment fees for community college students. At the same time—in an attempt to continue the community college system’s tradition of open access— the legislature waived those fees for financially needy students through a program called the Board of Governors (BOG) Fee

At SBCC’s School of Culinary Arts, for example, new students need to show up with a chef’s knife and uniform, a one-time cost that can run upward of $900. Accounting for estimated enrollment, BOG waivers, supplies, and the moving target of textbook costs, Green has estimated that when it’s fully up and running, the SBCC Promise will cost $1.8 million annually. “We’ll have the ability to truly offer two full years for students to study whatever they want and leave without debt,” he said. The goal by 2020 is to establish a $30 million endowment, no small chunk of change. “If this was funded by a tax or a bond, people would certainly challenge it,” Green added. “But this is money coming from private donors and foundations that are choosing to support this effort because they recognize how transformative it will be.” As of May 3, the foundation had $1.4 million in commitments for the Promise.

The Latest Advances in Varicose & Spider Vein Treatment

—SBCC President Lori Gaskin

‘[SBCC] is beloved by the community. I believe we’re seen as an institution of first choice. This place can be a life changer.’

When Green came aboard as the foundation’s chief executive officer in February of 2015, still fresh in his ears was President Barack Obama’s unveiling of an ambitious and expensive educational proposal dubbed America’s College Promise. The president proposed two years of tuition-free community college “for students willing to work for it,” meaning they had to maintain good grades while chasing a specific goal, such as earning a vocational certificate or making headway toward a university diploma. Green was also moved by actor Tom Hanks’s opinion piece “I Owe It All to Community College,” which the New York Times published five days after Obama’s proposal. Hanks attended Chabot College, in Hayward, right up the road from Green’s hometown in the Bay Area. By summer’s end, Obama’s proposal had become America’s College Promise Act of 2015, envisioning a 10-year, $80 billion federal investment. As Green made the rounds that fall to various conferences statewide and beyond, talk of the College Promise kept coming up, he remembers, not to mention ongoing lamentations about the nation’s $1.2 trillion in mounting student debt. Considering Washington’s political climate, it’s not surprising that Obama’s Promise crashed into congressional obstruction. Regardless, the idea gathered momentum, Green said. “He’s the president; he still has a platform.” (In an update on April 25, the administration proposed tax credits for businesses that donate knowledge, manpower, and equipment to their community colleges, and for hiring recent graduates.) Green explored what a College Promise could look like for SBCC and how much it might cost. For months, he did his homework, gathered feedback, and asked trusted peers to punch holes in it. Fortunately, he had nearby baselines to work off of. Since 2006, the Ventura College Promise has provided a year of free tuition, funded in large part by vendor fees collected by Ventura College Foundation’s swap meet, held on campus each weekend. Up in San Luis Obispo, Cuesta College also has a one-year-free program, made possible by an $8.5 million endowment from the Charles and Leeta Dovica Family Trust in 2014. For a much deeper perspective, Green points to Michigan, where, since a private endowment in 2005, the Kalamazoo Promise has covered tuition to any public college or university in the state for kids who’ve started in the Kalamazoo Public Schools district as kindergarteners, and sliding-scale coverage for students who enter in later grades. “Kalamazoo was the first to attempt to remove financial barriers for an entire region’s students using privately raised funds,” Green said. “With an approach like that, rather than two or five or 10 scholarships, you create a structural solution. Ultimately, this changes how an entire community views the prospect of attending college. That’s the key.” Added Madeleine Jacobson, the foundation’s board president, “Our College Promise has been well-received by our donors because it’s so tangible: We’re saying we’ll send our high school seniors to college for free.” As he crunched the numbers, Green grew more confident. “I knew that it was doable, and I knew it would build another important bridge between the college and the community.”

decades of service. Not long after MacDougall’s 2002 retirement, however, the college’s relationship to the surrounding Mesa neighborhood and the city beyond grew strained, and today it’s still weighed down by the emotional baggage of a few rough patches. Rewind seven or eight years. As the Great Recession made a crisis of California’s education budget, Andreea Serban, SBCC’s president at the time, made a lot of enemies when she hacked away at the college’s beloved Adult Education programming. These were affordably priced classes in the realm of lifelong learning— learning anything from pottery and jewelry making to parent-child workshops and music lessons. Serban’s administration also added fees to Continuing Education classes that had always been free. Regardless of the money mess Serban had stepped into when she took the helm in the summer of 2008, the cuts and hikes prompted voters—who widely felt ignored as SBCC decided what to cut and by how much — to replace four seats on the seven-member SBCC Board of Trustees. In the summer of 2011, the new board majority showed Serban the door. Longtime and well-regarded SBCC executive vice president Jack Friedlander covered in the interim — as the budget crisis continued chipping away at the college’s offerings—before current president Lori Gaskin stepped in a year later. While the community was still seeing red from all those cuts, another open sore started to fester. In a constantly tightening market, hundreds of out-of-town SBCC students — many of them from outside the country — had been competing for housing downtown and in Isla Vista. There was also the perception that foreign students were filling up classroom seats

‘If you look at all the College Promise programs popping up around the country, SBCC’s is the most comprehensive.’ —Madeleine Jacobson, SBCC Foundation board president that ought to have gone to born-and-raised Santa Barbarans, though the college has maintained an 8 percent cap on international student enrollment since 2009. “I agree that this institution ignored town/gown issues in the past,” Gaskin said recently, referring to relations between the city and campus. “Certainly, we’ve had our fair share of challenges.” She also feels deeply that SBCC “is beloved by the community. I believe we’re seen as an institution of first choice. This place can be a life changer.” It’s tough to argue against SBCC’s academics, confirmed under Gaskin’s watch with the 2013 Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence. That year, SBCC tied with Washington State’s Walla Walla Community College as the best community college in the nation. Off campus, however, things appeared less rosy, as the community’s perception partially blamed out-of-town SBCC students for problems linked to everything from late-night neighborhood noise to Isla Vista’s Deltopia riot in April 2014. And a month later, it certainly didn’t help that mass murderer Elliot Rodger was an SBCC dropout living in Isla Vista. Six months after that, community colleges statewide were hitting up voters to approve bond measures for campus improvements as the economy slowly recovered from its recessionary coma. The timing seemed right for Measure S, SBCC’s $288 million bond measure for upgrades and new facilities. Long story short: Voters shot it down. (To be fair, $288 million was a fairly big ask, and regardless of low voter turnout during that November 2014 election, Measure S did receive a fraction more than 50 percent in favor, though it needed 55 percent to pass.)

The defeat of Measure S hit Gaskin hard. Before and since, however, she can speak to the institution’s efforts off campus, from teaming up with the District Attorney’s Office and UCSB (among other agencies) on the I.V. Safe campaign, formed after that 2014 Deltopia disaster, to the Student Neighborhood Assistance Program (SNAP), addressing noise complaints against unruly students. Earlier this year, SBCC’s Board of Trustees voted not to extend the college’s contract with Kaplan International English to lease space on campus. “[Gaskin] has done everything in her power to right the ship, to change [SBCC] back into a resource by and for the community,” said boardmember Dr. Peter Haslund.“We’re sad to see her go.” After 35 years in administration at the community college level, Gaskin is set for retirement this summer. Her replacement, Dr. Anthony Beebe, president of San Diego City College, was announced by the SBCC Board of Trustees on May 3.

RIGHT GUY, RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME

By several accounts, one of Gaskin’s best moves of late was to convince Green to apply for CEO of the Santa Barbara City College Foundation. “While the foundation can’t control the message of the college, we like to be in sync,” said Jacobson, the foundation’s board president. “[Green] has worked

really hard to be part of the conversations going on in the community related to the college.” “I had seen him in his leadership capacity and thought he had a sensitivity to our mission as an institution that fosters opportunity for all,” Gaskin said. “That’s important to me. And I think the group that we’re targeting [with the Promise] is one where college-going just wasn’t in their future, for whatever reason.” The SBCC Promise, like the growing number of Promise programs around the country, reflects the community in which it exists, providing for a manageable number of students across all walks, and funded by a town full of generous donors. “While Obama’s Promise is working through policy issues, we’re on the ground with foundations, businesses, and private philanthropists looking at how resources can be available to students now,” said Parham, with the American Association of Community Colleges. “And we can see the needle move. I think it’s working. We have more than 125 active College Promise programs, with news of more every day.” Added Green, “The College Promise movement is pretty massive right now, and we’re riding the crest of it.” n

f Eddie Carranco could go global, anyone could do anything. No longer a Latino from the Eastside or Westside of Santa Barbara, he became somebody at the post office getting a passport. He says he never felt more American. Perceptions of possibility shifted in the neighborhood. People knew he was in Running Start, a program at SBCC where high school graduates without intent of higher education get incentives to try college. But study abroad? He bought a duffel bag, threw in some jeans and a couple of T-shirts, stuffed his life savings into his wallet, and got to Spain on scholarship. No credit card. Never been alone in a foreign country. Suddenly, he was converting currency and using the metro. Visiting ancient cities. Just a summer overseas: a game-changer. A chance to see himself as someone who can, who should, and who will. With the new semester in swing, he worries Spain is a fleeting glimpse into life’s treasure chest, banging shut. But he knows he’s changed; there’s new confidence and growth. He’s asking more questions in class, interacting with more people, helping others. He’s not the same kid who graduated high school with prospects of minimum wage. Eddie went to college, to Europe, and the kid who’d never been anywhere didn’t come back. A guy with goals took his place.

Running Start, which began as a six-week summer program in 2000, motivates kids to seize opportunity, to greet challenges with a work ethic supported by new skills and strong connections. I learned of Carranco through my involvement with Foundation for Santa Barbara City College. I saw what I always suspected: Education is the ultimate tool of self-development, exposure to ideas, engagement of the senses, fulfillment of natural curiosity that turns the world into a classroom. Education ignites. Selfdevelopment blurs the rules about who may live a meaningful life, contribute an important thought, earn a decent living. I’m happy to donate for scholarships, thinking I’ve done my part. But over the years, I’ve become a supporter of Running Start, unique to our City College. Marsha Wright, head of Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS), designed interviews 16 years ago to learn why the target population wasn’t giving college a try. Running Start became the noexcuse response — every objection was overcome with a tangible benefit. EOPS held assemblies at high schools for students identified as capable but chronically discouraged from further study. The program was talked up; why take a job when you could be paid to attend City College for the summer? Plus bus

cover story passes, meal vouchers, tutorial assistance, peer counseling, and, on Fridays, fun field trips. If you were a teenager facing a lifetime of boredom, cashiering somewhere or flipping burgers for low pay, what was there to lose? An hour for an appointment. But for some of those kids, nobody in their family had ever walked on a college campus. After the first successful year, the Foundation for SBCC started paying for the 65 kids — of the 400 who were interested — who arrived to sign the contract agreeing to attend class, be on time, and get passing grades. Their amazing summer made news in unprivileged communities of S.B.: They bonded tightly, discovered a network of support, and acquired skills to find and use resources, financial and scholarly. Kids discovered themselves. A decade on, the opportunity was legend. It was the time of their lives. In September, more than 90 percent enrolled in City College; just 10 percent graduated. Environmental pressures won out. The happy 10 percent became distinguished professionals, a district judge, countless business people, professors, and so forth, who credit their survival and ultimate success to Running Start. But the troubling attrition rate was enormous. Life intervened. Financial underpinning was key. There was urgency from family to get employment and help out. Pregnancies. Hard times. The usual. A tireless advocate on behalf of impoverished City College students saw a fix. Kandy Luria-Budgor, a boardmember of the SBCC Foundation, knew Running Start should be a yearlong program to fully launch students now invested in their academic growth. She explained, “Some young people feel they’ve missed the bus in life, and others know all too well the bus doesn’t even stop in their neighborhood.” In 2012, Luria-Budgor marshaled private donors to underwrite a five-year experiment in making Running Start a one-year program, calling them “Angels.” The Angels each committed $10,000 for five years, assembling at Giannfranco’s restaurant in Carpinteria—the owner is a graduate of SBCC’s Culinary Arts Program — to hear the hopes and goals of the extended program, dubbed Running Start 2. Emotional testimony came from students. Beautiful food was consumed. Luria-Budgor had the clout and the will to make it happen, and happen it did. I became an Angel. Giving 65 kids a full scholarship for only 10 grand seemed a good buy. Now in year four, success is obvious. Since expansion, 179 degrees and certificates have been conferred on participants, with 62 transfers to four-year universities. There’s thrilling evidence of the ordinary —the ordinary miracle of each student’s mandate to command his own life. Regular kids lured by the money got a glimpse of their highest and best selves and won’t let go. A full year makes it stick. Daily, they confront and triumph over the wearisome challenges of staying their

course despite incredible adversity, overcoming home situations where education isn’t valued. Sometimes, the word “home” carries a subtext of comfort students cannot count on. There’s an entire universe of hardship and defeat these brave students must shed to gain a new self-image. Education and confidence in their abilities help them do just that. I’ve followed eight students who transferred to universities this year, wondering how their transition would progress without the devoted structural support of the EOPS office. Marsha Wright claims their new skills are applicable anywhere. But the kids do “call home” now and again to check in. The extreme sense of belonging, of having a physical place to go, was now past history. Anything could happen. They had both fears and determination; locating help was a skill mastered at SBCC. All were confident but untested. Most found the dorm too expensive and were encountering the vagaries of roommates and life away from home. One girl described, tearfully, her father’s indifference to her UCLA acceptance. How could he comprehend it, a laborer all his life? Its significance, its magnitude, was all the more a solitary consideration, being motherless. But her companions in Running Start understood her achievement. A young man now at UCSB had a sister in Running Start before him. He appreciated the quick understanding of procedures and protocol handed down to him, how to optimize the school’s resources. His mother was extremely supportive, having dropped out in youth. A young woman off to San Francisco State had support from her family and stepfamily, an unusual degree of cooperation. But parental support is often rare. There’s discomfort mingled with pride. Jealous siblings eye the demand placed on family finances by the scholar. Simple impediments block success, such as not having a quiet place to study or suspicion about late hours at the library. Another girl on full scholarship to USC credited Running Start for her confidence. Motivated by the stipend, she acquired precious insight that she had aptitude, intellect, and ability. When she chose to run for Student Advocate, she abandoned her comfort zone. Nobody at home understood her investment of time into her studies; her support system had to originate outside the family. But they get it now: Educated people earn more money. And what of the Angels? Proud, too. But is it their place to subsidize success, or isn’t that what a progressive society does? Perhaps it shouldn’t be a matter of charity but a wise investment for all of us.

What is the difference between oral and IV sedation? There are some major differences between oral (or anti anxiety medication) and IV sedation. IV sedation: • It is a very safe form of sedation when extensive general anesthesia is not needed

The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department would like to recognize its over seventy nurses who work in ambulatory care and field settings. Our nurses deliver compassionate care while encompassing the principles of ethical practice. Nurses play a pivotal role in this year’s theme of culture of safety; ensuring the safety of our communities as well as the individual.

• Is a more reliable form of sedation than oral medication, which may or may not give you the desired result and can wear off quickly. •Allows us to complete any amount of dental work at one time much more efficiently while you remain relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure without memory of your procedure. •Makes it possible to give you anti inflammatory and pain medication in your IV that can jump start your healing process without you having to take medication as soon as you get home.

IV Sedation is something we do daily at Ericson Dental and we would be happy to schedule a consultation with you to discuss how it could benefit your dental treatment and experience at our office.

temple Grandin: We Need All Kinds of Minds

InsIde CluCkIngham PalaCe Last spring, Crescend Health’s Mountain House —a facility across from Rocky Nook Park in Mission Canyon that cares for people suffering from psychiatric and addictive disorders—launched a surprisingly successful program called Poultry Therapy, in which clients learn how to care for a restored old chicken coop and its hens. The practice provides a strong sense of self-confidence as well as other positive psychological perks. Coop manager Dion Cherot (pictured), who suffers from schizophrenia, finds that caring for the hens calms his anxieties and provides relief from some previously debilitating symptoms. “The chickens are very affectionate, and they sing while I paint outside the coop,” he said. The coop, affectionately called Cluckingham Palace, is visited throughout the day by clients and staff looking for the peaceful atmosphere. Along with all the therapeutic benefits, the chickens provide about five fresh, organic eggs a day, which clients are able to eat during their stay at the center.

ou can’t call Temple Grandin on the phone. She has to call you, and unfortunately it was bad timing when she called. Our beautiful black lab of 13 years was in her last hours, the veterinarian was coming over to the house, and we were all upset about it. “I hope you don’t mind,” I began. “But I think you’ll understand; my dog is passing, and I can’t talk right now.” So we Temple Grandin arranged another time. When we spoke again, Grandin, who has a no-nonsense, blunt way of communicating, plunged right into such a wide range of subjects it was startling — from language-based knowledge to how animals think, from the myths of autism to Albert Einstein. She’ll likely do the same when she speaks at the Granada Theatre on May 10. Many people recognize Grandin’s story from the award-winning HBO program Temple Grandin starring Claire Danes. Grandin is an expert on animal behavior. One half of the cattle in the United States are handled in equipment she has designed that emphasizes humane treatment. “I think we can eat meat ethically,” she says, “but we’ve got to give animals a good life.” Grandin should know. She has spent 30 years looking at the beef industry through the eyes of a cow. Temple Grandin is also autistic. As a child, she had all the classic symptoms of autism: speech delay, tantrums, repetitive behavior, and supposedly lacking in empathy. But her mother refused to accept institutionalization and bucked the system. “My mother knew how to push me, how to stretch me just out of my comfort zone,” Grandin recounted. “She taught me old-fashioned etiquette.” She attributes her success to thinking visually.“Visual thinking gave me a whole lot of insight into the animal mind. An animal is sensorybased, not verbal— verbal thinks in pictures, thinks in sounds, thinks in smells,” she explained. “The fundamental difference between us and animals,” she said, “is language-based learning.” In other words, you’re reading this article, and they are not. The issue with language-based thinking is that it lumps everyone who thinks differently into the problem category. “Because of all the testing, a lot of kids are shunted into special ed when they ought to be enhancing their unique abilities,” she explained. “Schools have taken out all the hands-on classes — cooking, woodworking, art, making stuff, which teaches practical problem solving.” As for autism, “It’s a behavioral profile half based on science and half based on doctors bickering around a conference table.” We were about to wrap up when Grandin interrupted. “I’m really sorry to hear about your dog,” she said. “But that was the right thing to do. I talk about ethics to vet students. You can’t explain to a dog why you are continuing a painful existence.” So much for the myth that autistic people lack empathy and can’t think of others. Temple Grandin is anything but neurotypical, yet she proves that different is certainly not less. — Mitchell Kriegman UCSB Arts & Lectures brings Temple Grandin to the Granada Theatre on Tuesday, May 10.

Can You Count BroWn peliCanS?

destination races

cientists are enlisting the help of citizens to count brown pelicans along the Pacific Coast this Saturday, May 7, at 5-7 p.m. They are hoping that data collected will help them track the health of pelican populations and understand how pelicans are adapting to a changing climate. In recent years, fewer pelicans have been observed coupling on the Pacific Coast islands where pelicans breed. Scientists believe that warmer waters are responsible because they drive away the cold-water fish that pelicans eat and turn breeding grounds into food deserts. These shifts in pelican behavior have scientists concerned about what long-term climate change might mean for the California brown pelican. To get a clear picture of what’s going on, scientists need eyes on the skies from Mexico to Canada, and researchers just haven’t had the capacity for such widespread monitoring.

STRATEGIZED STEPS: Last year’s winner Ramiro “Curly” Guillen (above in white) released his beast within to win the Wine Country Half Marathon.

ine country conjures images of a relaxing afternoon visiting tasting rooms, but there’s another way to take in the vineyards and surrounding vistas. This Saturday, about 3,000 runners will endure the Santa Barbara Wine Country Half Marathon, which winds from Santa Ynez to Los Olivos to Solvang, where it culminates in a wine and music festival featuring the country band Calico and an award ceremony under the gazebo. What’s it take to make the podium? “It’s about redefining limits,” said last year’s winner, Goleta native Ramiro “Curly” Guillen. “I train myself to dig deep and run harder the more tired I get. Small chunks of race paced with rest periods between, and as the race gets closer, longer segments with shorter recovery. There’s always another level to get to, and that’s what motivates me: releasing the beast within.” A high school, college, and university track standout coached by Terry Howell, the recent participant in the Boston Marathon has been racing seriously for the last four years. “When I line up at the start line, I like to shoot to the front right away, see who the competition is going to be,” said Guillen. “Then I make them work for it. Last year, me and second-place finisher Richard Chelimo battled back and forth for 12 miles, and it wasn’t until the last downhill that I made my move. I didn’t back off sprinting at all.” Kicking off May 6 with a welcome reception at Coquelicot Estate Vineyard, the Santa Barbara Wine Country Half Marathon is no run-of-the-mill footrace, though you will pass a windmill near the finish line. Whether you come to “leave it all there on the road,” run a two-person relay, or form a team to get the job done, the event has legs. See destinationraces.com/runsb. — Karen Robiscoe

The California Brown Pelican Survey is hoping to change that. A concerted effort between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Audubon Network, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and state agencies, the survey will provide much-needed data by engaging the general public. Anyone can collect and report data, and step-by-step instructions are provided online at ca.audubon.org/conservation/protocol. “This will be the first time, at least along the West Coast, where a coordinated effort of this scale involving citizen science has been undertaken,” says Robert McMorran, a fish and wildlife biologist with the Ventura County office of USFWS. Counterintuitively, he hopes that participants on the mainland won’t see many pelicans on Saturday. In spring, which is breeding season, more pelicans on the mainland means fewer baby pelicans being born on islands. The opposite will be true for the fall survey, when McMorran hopes there will be — now and in the future — pelicans aplenty. — Smadar Levy

MASSACRE OR PURIFICATION? Here’s what Awat’ovi looked like from above when Harvard’s Peabody Museum team excavated there in 1938.

Finding Peace amid hopi ViolenCe

odern Americans love thinking that the Hopi people of the Southwest represent the epitome of peacefulness. But in the year 1700, in the populous village of Awat’ovi, Hopi slaughtered Hopi by the hundreds in a predawn raid, showering crushed red pepper, fire, and arrows into subterranean kivas while kidnapping the women and children who survived. This massacre is well documented, but UCSB history and anthropology professor James Brooks wanted to find out why it occurred and whether the tragic incident resonates in today’s world. “How could perfectly decent people do terrible things?” he wondered. “I thought there was an opportunity to look at a moment when what appears to be a stable, enduring community has this terrible conflagration, and maybe it would speak to other issues on a more contemporary setting.” His new book, Mesa of Sorrows, is the result of his research, revealing for the first time what he believes are the cultural and environmental roots of the Awat’ovi disaster. In so doing, he’s also trying to forge a path toward forgiveness among the Hopi themselves, many of whom see this incident as a stain on their past. “This is not an exercise in massacre lit,” said Brooks, who theorizes that the purge is a part of a cyclical purification cycle with no real villains. “In the long run, it is very humanizing. It allows us to look at indigenous peoples as threedimensional beings instead of two-dimensional cardboard cutouts that people burn their sage to.” The book is the first time that Brooks, who’s won major awards for his academic tomes on the Southwest, ventured into popular writing. He found it liberating, learning that mainstream books should make the reader feel smart, rather than showing how smart the author is. “Now I don’t know if I can write that academic stuff anymore,” said Brooks, who admits that some colleagues may eye him with suspicion now, but he encourages other academics, especially in the humanities, to start speaking to a larger crowd. “We need to find vehicles with which we can speak outside of the academy,” he said. “I hope this is one way.” His vehicle is especially powerful. In evocative and engaging language, Brooks blends chapters about modern site visits and Hopi legends with tales of archaeological expeditions gone awry, insights into Spanish colonialism, and colorful characters of both myth and history. And he’s had no trouble finding a wide audience, including the millions who visit the Southwest every year to experience the landscape and fascinating culture for themselves. “They have a sense of wonder about the past,” said Brooks. “Those are the people I want to reach.” — Matt Kettmann

James Brooks will speak about Mesa of Sorrows: A History of the Awat’ovi Massacre at the Alhecama Theatre (914 Santa Barbara St.) on Wednesday, May 11, at 7 p.m. in an event hosted by the S.B. Trust for Historic Preservation and the UCSB History Associates. Free for members; $10 otherwise.

PreP softball in full sWinG

he sights and sounds of high school softball: sun

visors and ponytails, windmilling arms, the thunk of a solid hit, players chanting in the dugouts like dueling Greek choruses. Last Friday’s game between Dos Pueblos and San Marcos had a bracing vitality, because two days earlier, San Marcos had gone to the DP diamond and scored a 7-3 victory. It was the Royals’ first victory over the Chargers in nine years. “We were pumped up today,” said DP pitcher Gabriella Gandall, who heard blandishments of “Gabby” throughout the rematch at San Marcos. “We had to beat them.” That the Chargers did, by a score of 11-5.“Everybody hit. Everybody scored,” Gandall said. “Everybody’s happy.” Dos Pueblos piled up five runs in the third inning to take a 6-2 lead. In the bottom of the inning, DP centerfielder Lauren Marmo robbed the Royals’ Cara Christian of a two-run homer. She bent down the top of the outfield fence while catching Christian’s deep fly ball. “I think I broke it,” Marmo said. She shattered the hopes of the Royals, although they continued to put runners on the bases. “They have four solid hitters,” said DP coach Jon Uyesaka. “They aren’t the San Marcos of old.” One of those hitters was Hailee Rios, who came up in the first inning and pounded her ninth home run of the season, an opposite-field shot to right. Meanwhile, the Chargers collected 16 hits, finding holes in the infield and gaps in the outfield. After sending several pitchers to Division 1 colleges in recent years, Dos Pueblos has found itself in some high-scoring affairs.“Teams are giving up a lot of runs,” Uyesaka said.“We’ve got to play defense.” The Chargers, ranked No. 2 in CIF Division 4, have the smartest infield this side of MIT (the college where senior shortstop/pitcher Madison Pickett is headed). Pickett is a member of the prestigious DP Engineering Academy, as are juniors Siena Wagner, who played second base Friday, and Anya Schmitz at third. “I play softball to forget about school and relax my brain,” said Pickett, who will focus on mechanical engineering.“On a team, I have friends to rely on.”

San Marcos and Dos Pueblos Rivalry Flares Up; Plus Jim Barber Memories, UCSB Wins, and More Rios — who, besides her slugging, is also San Marcos’s top pitcher — has college intentions of her own. “I’m talking to Southeast Missouri State,” said the strong junior. “I’m interested in agriculture and ranching.

ove to the side, hopheads; the wild ones are taking over. Sour, wild-fermented, and barrelaged ales are all the rage in brewing right now, and Telegraph Brewing is hosting a crash course in those styles on Saturday, May 7, when they’ll be pouring their Obscura beers in two sessions. Started in 2011, this barrel-aged and wild-fermented program spawned a unique lineup of pet projects, experimental mishaps, and creative fun for owner Brian Thompson and his staff. Some beers are recurring, and some will never be seen again, but all are distinctive. “We are excited to express our creativity in every batch,” said Thompson, who seeks to make sour beers that are complex but also refreshing. “We are inspired by spice, food, music, traveling— traveling inspiration comes from everywhere. We are actively trying to push the limits of what people define as beer, and tell those stories.” The intimate and conversational sessions will showcase 12 beers in total, with four poured only during the event. Here are four to get wild about.

ith a bright smile, photographer and writer Leela Cyd greeted me at the door of her breezy downtown studio, pulled me up a stool, put on a pot of English breakfast tea, and finished unloading her groceries, all while chatting like an old friend. “I always seem to be shopping for food,” she laughed. Cyd’s casual yet effervescent demeanor infuses her gorgeous first cookbook, Food with Friends: The Art of Simple Gatherings, which features recipes and tips to inspire the most hesitant cook to don an apron and enjoy a meal with friends. “Don’t wait for the perfect moment or to live in the most perfect house with the most beautiful china,” Cyd said about her desire to bring people together through food. Featuring recipes perfect for brunch, picnics, happy hour, teatime—well, anytime really — Cyd gained inspiration from Santa Barbara’s fabulous fresh produce as well as from tasting her way through such places as Italy, Amsterdam, and India. “Food is such an access point to culture,” said Cyd of the global flavors, which influence many recipes, such as the South Indian-Style Veg Cutlets. Her favorite dish is the Beet-Pickled Eggs, which grace the book’s cover. Bright in color from the pickled beet brine and bright in flavor due to bursts of cumin, chives, yogurt, and lemon, these treats highlight Cyd’s knack for enlivening a simple dish with a whimsical flair. “I hope that it inspires them to cook something delicious and make time to live and eat well, and enjoy their food and the company they keep,” she said. Finishing one last sip of tea and setting down my rose-colored cup, I wished I could linger longer. Fortunately, the party needn’t end there —with Cyd’s heartfelt, stunning, and delicious cookbook on the shelves, casual hangouts are about to get a whole lot lovelier. —Rebecca Horrigan See leelacyd.com.

Kimsey White Blend 2013: It’s not like we didn’t know Ballard

Canyon could produce amazing roussanne, since we’ve had StolpStolp man’s L’Avion for years. But this blend (74% roussanne, 26% viognier) instantly shoots to the top of white wines in Santa Barbara County. William and Nancy Kimsey wisely hired winemaker Matt Dees (also from the neighboring property Jonata) and vineyard manager Ruben Solorzano to make their wines, which also include a fine grenache and syrah. The white, though, is about as big as a wine can be while still staying magnificently balanced— balanced just what you’d expect from Dees. The flavors run from peach to citrus, but it’s the life of the wine that’s most striking—you just feel special drinking it. It should pair heavenly with grilled halibut topped with a lime compound butter. And to think Dees says the future vintages will be even better, with grenache blanc swapped in for the viognier.

With no construction happening since then, and a for-lease sign now visible in the window, it’s time to face the fact that Pace won’t win the race to open in this place. What a disgrace!

Choir for the Centuries Quire of VoyCes sings the Past to Life

— Carol Douglass

4•1•1

The Quire of Voyces will perform their program, a preview of their set list at the Llangollen Eisteddfod in Wales, Saturday-Sunday, May 7-8, at St. Anthony’s Chapel, Garden Street Academy (2300 Garden St.). Call 965-5935 or see quireofvoyces.org.

Temple Dimly

Brian eno

There’s this prevailing assumption of what it means to be a Santa Barbara musician — think guitars and beaches — and then there’s the much deeper and more diverse reality containing quiet innovators and off-beat creators. Temple Dimly, the project of multitalented Steve Galbreath, is one such diamond in the rough. His new, free folktronic album Marches is inventive, individual, and inspiring, having all the lovingly cobbled-together qualities and mysteries of a home cook’s secret recipe. “Him” is a piece of lilting beauty; “Dirt” is a jewel box of acoustic and electronic sounds. Galbreath doesn’t seem too sure of himself (“the music is still not anything spectacular,” he writes on his website), so let me say, Steve, if you hoped to make something affecting and unique, you succeeded splendidly. Great job. — Richie DeMaria

Ambient music pioneer Brian Eno supsup posedly dreamed up the genre while he was hospitalized from a car accident in the 1970s and became fascinated by the way music from his radio blended in with a rainstorm outside. His newest, mostly ambient album, The Ship, embodies the vast, peaceful melancholy common to ambient, with synths that ebb into light static and flow into full string parts. “The Ship” and “Fickle Sun (i)” are both stimulating, gargantuan, at times intense tracks, about 20 minutes each, that lead into the serene, after-the-war relief of the final two ballad tracks. — Kyle Roe

ers are musically completely exposed, makmak ing accuracy and blend that much more vital. Besides performing in Santa Barbara, the choir has toured Europe and Scandinavia. Several years ago, they sang in churches in Italy, including St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Another year, it was off to Sweden to sing at the Gotland Medieval Festival. This July, they’ll be one of only four California choirs traveling to what is said to be the largest choral festival in the world, the Llangollen Eisteddfod in North Wales. The Eisteddfod has its origins in the 12th century, and this year will be a 70th-year celebration of its current incarnation, so it will be an especially auspicious year, with the Pavarotti Prize given to the winning choral group. Nowadays, the choir is partly funded by Santa Barbara City College, where Kreitzer is an assistant professor of music. In addition to directing the Quire of Voyces, he has a student chamber singers group and a large community chorus, which anyone with a desire can join. Although turnover in the Quire is low— low and so then the chances of joining— joining hearing them in their recordings and online, and best of all in a live concert, is an experience not to be missed. It’s a splendid way to inhabit the world of sacred choral music performed in a most meticulous manner. Clint Weisman

Sung in St. Anthony’s Chapel, Garden Street Academy, and abroad on tour, their performances echo what could be heard in the 1500s by such composers as England’s William Byrd and Thomas Tallis and France’s Josquin des Prez. In addition to a cappella Renaissance pieces, the Quire of Voyces repertoire includes 20th- and 21st-century comQuire of Voyces posers, the latter including Los Angeles–based Grammy-winning Eric vocalists for his new choir.

Yes, You can dance

SalSa!

While the gentrification of the Funk Zone brings in new businesses, it also squeezes out groups like Yes You Can Dance Salsa (YYCDS), a community program offering salsa lessons and social dancing at the affordable rate of $2. Previously at the Ayni Gallery, YYCDS brings together a community of up to 100 salsa dancers of all levels. However, with the gallery repurposing their space, this passionate group of dancers is on the move, searching for a new home. Monica Dabos began YYCDS after seeing a similar pop-up community flourish in Isla Vista. “There was no drinking,” Dabos said, “just salsa dancing until midnight. They charged $1.” The community languished after the founders graduated, which Dabos found tragic, so she started her own salsa project, one that provided affordable lessons for beginning and intermediate students and offered social dancing for learners to practice new skills. Victor Contreras teaches alongside Dabos. “He doesn’t make anyone feel intimidated,” she said. “We teach together, but we laugh a lot; it’s very friendly.” Dabos approached Contreras about teaching, and he agreed, thinking nothing would come of the offer. But Dabos contacted him the following week with a time, a venue, and a group of students. The classes grew in popularity, and YYCDS now has a fervent following. Dabos’s goal is to find a space downtown. “On State Street, there’s nothing but bars. After 10 p.m., you can’t even eat dinner; you can only get drunk.” She wants to offer the late-night crowd another option. “We don’t play music very loud because I want people to talk. When people talk, they find jobs. They find friends, girlfriends, husbands. We want to create a place where you can dance, but you can also hang out.” The group is searching for a space with a wood floor that can accommodate 100 people or more. It’s an alcohol-free environment, open to all ages. “It’s not a business,” Dabos said. “Nobody is making money. We want people to be able to afford to come.” YYCDS is a fun, inexpensive way to learn a skill, find community, and network. Until they find a new space, YYCDS will be on the move.

RESURRECTED: BFA senior Solmyra Araiza plays Ophelia returned from the dead in UCSB’s workshop production of KJ Sanchez’s new play, which takes a modern-day look at Hamlet.

Noble MINds overthrowN

t’s tempting to imagine what might happen to a beloved character if he or she were granted a life that extended beyond the bounds of the play, and even more so when that character’s role seems to have been unfairly cut short. Beginning on Friday, May 6, audiences at UCSB’s Performing Arts Theater will witness a minor miracle of this sort when a workshop production of KJ Sanchez’s new play Too Much Water revives Shakespeare’s Ophelia. This exciting project combines two of the strengths of the school’s BFA program by crossing Launch Pad, a program in which students participate in the development of new plays, with Acting Up Front, an approach to production that emphasizes the centrality of voice and movement in storytelling. The script is a multifaceted collaboration that weaves together lines from Shakespeare and some new lines for Ophelia, with a medley of voices captured by BFA students who performed interviews with their peers about the subjects raised by the role — being loved, wanting to be a good girl, being shamed, and, at the dark heart of things, suicide. As directed by Jenny Mercein and Joyelle Ball, the cast, which includes BFA program senior Solmyra Araiza as Ophelia, will gather in a rehearsal room to work on a modern-day production of Hamlet only to find that a living Ophelia has mysteriously appeared among them. When I saw an early version of this work last August, Araiza’s solo performance of Ophelia literally crawling out of her grave and brushing dirt off her dress was riveting. I expect that the performance can only have improved from there. Seeking both a tighter focus and an approach that would bring the performers into a closer relation to the material, Sanchez and her team trained students to conduct a

4•1•1

too Much water revives ophelIa by Charles Donelan series of interviews designed to elicit useful reflections on the pressures that might lead a young woman to take her own life. At a time when suicide rates in this country are soaring, and when they are increasing particularly rapidly among women, it’s a crucial public health issue. It’s also an exciting way in to the complex world of Shakespeare’s character, whom we observe as she too hears the testimony of her sisters in sorrow. It’s through this act of listening that her memory is restored. For this Ophelia, revival is more than a matter of picking yourself up and dusting yourself off — you also have to remember what you’ve been through and acknowledge who you are. The student actors received a master class in documentary theater this fall when Anna Deavere Smith came to UCSB through Arts & Lectures. Although the technique used by the six members of the chorus in Too Much Water does not depend so much on vocal impersonation, there’s a deeper connection based on faithfulness to the verbatim transcripts and an actor’s understanding of emotion and motivation. While the student actors in the rehearsal within the play take turns helping Ophelia, “Hamlet [the play] doesn’t need any help” according to Mercein. “We aren’t trying to make it a better play, but we are acknowledging that the part of Ophelia was underwritten and that there’s more to be told about Ophelia’s journey.”

Too Much Water shows at the UCSB Performing Arts Theater May 6-15. For tickets and information, visit theaterdance.ucsb.edu or call 893-2064.

Two grand FinaleS

he month of May sprouts season finale concerts like wildflowers. These spring beauties of the concert hall dazzle with fresh colors, only for the ear rather than the eye. At the Granada Theatre on May 14-15, Maestro Nir Kabaretti and the Santa Barbara Symphony will conclude their season by welcoming the Santa Barbara debut of Spanish guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas. Villegas will play the Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra of former Hope Ranch resident Elmer Bernstein, and while the composer will always be best known for his many prize-winning film scores, this guitar concerto, which he wrote while he lived here, is fast becoming an international favorite. It may be the most popular classical composition ever written in Santa Barbara, and it has become a hit for Villegas, who has been receiving standing ovations from Cincinnati to Edmonton as he crosses North America performing it with several major symphony orchestras. Meanwhile over at the Lobero Theatre on Tuesday, May 17, the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra brings back a familiar guest of theirs, the pianist Alessio Bax, for Beethoven’s majestic Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major, Op. 73, “Emperor.” From a programming perspective, these finale concerts require striking a balance between the grand gesture of summing up and the perhaps subtler task of leaving the audience feeling curious and wanting more. In different ways, both these choices succeed in hitting that mark. The Santa Barbara Symphony will emphasize our city’s deep connection to the future of music by featuring a talented young performer in Villegas and a homegrown piece by “our” Bernstein that’s on its way to achieving classic canonical status. Maestro Heiichiro Ohyama at the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra, on the other hand, will be foregrounding his penchant for developing relationships with individual musicians through multiple engagements over time, as he, the orchestra, and Bax take another step in a journey that began with Mozart and Brahms and is now reaching one of the summits of the repertoire with the last concerto Beethoven composed. When I spoke with Villegas last week, he said that he “couldn’t think of a better place to be playing Elmer Bernstein’s concerto.”“It’s a very romantic opening,” said the musician

of the first movement, “Guitar.” “It starts with six open strings, and I believe he called it ‘Guitar’ because he wrote it as a way to explore the instrument.” In the second movement, “Reflections,” the piece becomes more lyrical. And in the third, “Celebration,” the time signature shifts to 6/8, and the two themes come together in a kind of dance. Villegas expressed great respect for the legendary guitarist for whom the concerto was written, Christopher Parkening, but he brings his own style to the piece along with a confidence that is the product of years of training. “First you must develop the technique,” he said.“I spent three years with my teacher in Spain just to achieve the kind of sound projection necessary for me to play this effectively without amplification in front of an orchestra in a large hall.”“From there,” he added, “it’s another step to achieve true musicality, and at the end there’s the ultimate goal, which is to communicate your passion and to connect with the audience on an emotional level.” As for Bax, he said that choosing his favorite among the five Beethoven concertos for piano and orchestra would be “like a parent having to pick a favorite child— child you just can’t do it.” He added that the Concerto No. 5 “is called the Emperor for a reason. It’s very big and celebratory, and from a compositional standpoint, it is wonderfully complete.” Bax praised maestro Ohyama for being a great listener, and for relating to his players as a master musician among equals. The chamber orchestra version of the concerto is “in many ways ideal,” he said, because “the smaller and more involved the various musical voices are, the better.” The Santa Barbara Symphony program also includes Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4. The Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra will pair the Beethoven with Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5. With season finales like these, let a thousand musical flowers bloom.

The Santa Barbara Symphony will perform at the Granada Theatre Saturday-Sunday, May 14-15. For tickets and information, visit thesymphony.org or call the Granada box office at 899-2222.

What Is Greek Slavery? In Search Of A Novel History Thursday,

Kostas Vlassopoulos

May 12th 5:30 pm

Ancient Greek History, University of Crete

Alhecama Theatre

Ancient Greece, renowned for its theater, philosophy, and democracy, was also a slave-owning society. Drawing on insights into modern slavery, Professor Vlassopoulos brings a revolutionary new approach to ancient Greek slavery. He also discusses resistance to the practice and whether we can uncover slaves’ perspectives. He urges us to rethink: What is Greek slavery? and what can it teach us?

914 Santa Barbara Street

lecture is FREE and open to the public.

GET UP AND MOVE WITH ME: The Movement (above) celebrates Cinco de Mayo with a free show at Velvet Jones with Iya Terra and King Zero.

A ReAson to Celebrate by Richie DeMaria

FIVE ALIVE: Today, Thursday, May 5, is Cinco de Mayo, a day in which we commemorate Mexico’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla. As we fold ourselves into the uncertainty of another century ahead, I can’t help but ponder why it is we continue to mark one set of relatives’ conquest over another’s, and remember rivalries and wars no longer being fought. For how long will we credit our existence as the outcome of an ancient argument? For how long will we celebrate these tidal shifts in national fortunes, when so many successive tides since have reshaped the truth, and will do so yet again? But there is a reason for it, in that we mark the struggles we had to endure in order to produce the life and circumstances that have taken us to today. It’s a reminder how a culture as rich, deep, vital, and powerful as Mexico’s and Mexican-Americans’, like any enduring culture, needs to fend for itself against continual challenges to its existence — not exactly an unchanged scenario, really, given the threats of certain American figureheads. Even if the fighters change, there are battles of national identity still going on. And who am I kidding? There will still be, long after our drinking water supply runs out. What does all this have to do with music? Quite a bit—music being often the victory cry of survivors and interpreters of pain and challenging circumstance. Take Mississippi-born, Nashville-based Travis Meadows, for example, who plays tonight at Standing Sun Winery in Buellton (92 Second St., Unit D, at 7:30 p.m.). The man has had a rough lot in life, from losing his brother at an early age to a bone marrow cancer diagnosis at age 14 to a multiyear struggle with drug and alcohol addiction. He lives on in song and has found triumph in his music despite major obstacles and losses. Hear his stirring country songs, and taste some nice wines, always a good drink for brooding or mulling over the life you’ve shouldered, while celebrating the times you’ve, somehow, still pulled through. Taking a peppier path with a genre known for these themes is the Rent Party Blues Band, who play tonight at Blind Tiger (409 State St., at 9 p.m.). The area bluesmen, who at the start of this year won big applause and lauds at the International Blues Challenge, have raised heart tempos and eyebrows alike with their bumping brand of blues. With it being a special Cinco de Mayo show, they are sure to honor the lively spirit of the celebrated day. At Velvet Jones (423 State St., at 8:30 p.m.), reggae fusion is on the dock with a free show by The Movement, King Zero, and Iya Terra. Reggae and all its descendent musical genres, of course, are also music for triumph and celebrating the hard-won good times, and this free show will make for an excellent way to spend this fifth day of May. The Movement, coming from South Carolina, have worked with such kings of chill as G Love and like to blend their reggae-inspired sound with Southern rock elements, such as harmonica and wah guitar. And, of course, we’ve got King Zero, the S.B. band famed for its uplifting and high-energy shows. TECHNOLOGIC: Tomorrow, Friday, May 6, will be here soon. If you find your-

self fresh off the work week with the need to dance, head on up to Elings Park, where the Santa Barbara Electronic Music Festival will bring Party Thieves, Bling, Future Relic, Bix King, and DJ Burd to town. The entire mesa park will n become a new moonlit dance floor.

An engaging and affectionate tribute to one of the art world’s most loveable characters.” The Times (U.K.) Hockney is the definitive exploration of one of the most significant artists of his generation. The film chronicles David Hockney’s vast career and the experiences that led him to create some of the most renowned works of the past century, from his formative years in the British Pop Art scene to his iconic life in Hollywood. The film offers a unique view of this charismatic and unconventional artist who, approaching the age of 80, is actively making new art and reaching new peaks of popularity.

Feng Xiaogang in Mr. Six

SBIFF presents the WAve Pacific Rim Cinematic Fare at the Riviera by Josef Woodard

vid and/or addictive film festivalgoers in Santa Barbara have been duly trained, and possibly spoiled, by living in a city with a world-class film festival. They also know the inherent bittersweet sensation when the annual winter Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) calls it a wrap. But booster shots of film fest lore and content have been popping up in public. Thankfully, SBIFF has been making inroads to keeping its presence on the cultural calendar year-round, with Wednesday screenings at Plaza de Oro, special screenings and celebrity visitations in the Cinema Society series, the recent acquisition of the Riviera Theatre (see last week’s Santa Barbara Independent story at independent.com/rivieradream), and now the continuing saga of the mini-film festivals under the band The Wave Film Festival. In its second year of operation, the Wave phenom — French and Latin and Spanish films last year, and this week’s Pan-Asia festival (running May 11-15), at the festival’s newly announced official theater home up at the Riviera — Right Now, Wrong Then is one event in what may become a quarterly occasion. The Wave festival director, Mickey Duzdevich, also a senior programmer at SBIFF, asserted that in putting together the compact mini-fests, “we just try to find the best films possible — films that allow audience members to travel the world without leaving their own backyard,” he said.“We try to make sure there is something for everyone. We want action, drama, romance, comedy — anything else you can think of. “It’s hard to find 11 amazing films to group together, but as long as each audience member finds one film out of the group that they can’t get out of their head and want to talk about it, then it’s a job well done.” Films making The Wave grade come from different sources and angles, including as offshoots of the SBIFF mother ship. The Pan-Asia selection offers some equal time balance after this year’s SBIFF overall roster didn’t allow for an official Asian sidebar. One of this weekend’s films, the Chinese crime flick Mr. Six, was intended to be shown at the fest, but legal issues caused it to be pulled at the 11th hour. Once a certain scene was re-cut, the film was able to make the trans-Pacific trip to Santa Barbara for this weekend. I was able to screen a trio of films from South Korea playing at The Wave, attesting to the stated diversity principle in the programming. Director Kwon Oh-

kwang’s Collective Invention shifts deftly from dark satire to melancholy in its outlandish, metaphorical tale of a mutant “fish man” subjected to medical experiments, public scorn, and freakish curiosity to Frankenstein-ish narrative ends. That film comes from a radically different place than the gritty, sometimes histrionic but also gripping corrupt-cop caper The Chronicles of Evil, from director Beak Woon-hak. Those with more open-minded “art house” leanings are advised to catch Right Now, Wrong Then, a slow and contemplative yet unexpectedly seductive and structurally unusual film from Korean writer/director Hong Sang-Soo (responsible for the strangely beguiling film Woman Is the Future of Man, which played at SBIFF a decade ago, and stirred conversation and small puffs of controversy). In this film about film work, a Seoul-based “art film” director’s visit to Suwon for a screening/Q&A and his wooing of a local woman is literally presented in double-vision fashion, its two hour-long accounts exploring the elasticity of fate and the malleability of “takes” and storytelling — and life itself — in arriving at a film’s finished form. It’s the kind of film best seen on a looming screen, without a pause button at the ready. Implicit in the expanding public presence and agenda of SBIFF — from the main event early in the year outward — is a commitment to keeping cinema available in its intended form, on the big screen, in darkened rooms in our city. You can try this at home, and the lure of in-house streaming and ever-improving artistic standards of “mainstream” television has taken its toll on film as a public experience, but “We feel the community enjoys what we offer, and now we can provide even more,” Duzdevich said.“There will always be people who enjoy the comfort of their own home, but I don’t see the theatergoing experience dying out any time soon. It might evolve but will never be gone. There is something special about going into a room with others that share your excitement for film and experiencing it together. It’s an experience you can’t get at home.”

For a long time, I thought getting lost in a sitcom after a tough day was therapeutic, but never quite the same as tumbling through the cosmos with Stanley Kubrick or crossing deserts with David Lean. But TV has changed, and several shows now make me gasp in wonder: Game of Thrones, for instance, and USA Network’s dazzling Mr. Robot. The most cinematic, haunting recent show, though, is Amazon’s DID NAZI THAT COMING: Based on Philip K. dick’s alt-history classic, adaptation of Philip K.

Movies always ought to be this good, but it’s been such a long drought that this one seems like a miracle. The special effects astound; they are so good you take them for granted. But that’s not the best part. Disney’s newest version of The Jungle Book has a grand narrative sweep that never lets us down. It’s thrilling, sad, scary, funny, and finally intelligent enough to make the simple Promethean quest feel profound. Great celebrity voices such as Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, and Christopher Walken intrude like unexpected delights, camping up the fun. (DJP)

Mother’s Day (118 mins., PG-13) Jennifer Anniston, Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson, Jason Sudeikis, and Timothy Olyphant head up the star-studded cast of this dramedy about three generations of a family who come together for Mother’s Day. Fairview/Paseo Nuevo Papa: Hemingway in Cuba (109 mins., R)

A wildly vibrant, joyfully clever romp with a serious heart, this wonderful movie is as marvelous and mature as computer-animated menageries get. The youngest mammals among us will delight in the adorable characters, but elder beasts will see it for its potently politic and inclusive 2016 themes. Disney here is planting seeds in young minds in the hopes of a better tomorrow. This is more than a kids’ movie — this is a statement. (RD)

Green Room (94 mins., R) If Alfred Hitchcock made a movie about punk rockers wandering into the Pacific Northwest’s unknown lands where nihilism blurs into militant skinhead racism, this would be it. The plot, which is a lot better than it needs to be, takes us to a chaotic backwoods bar with a surprisingly complicated web of evil underlying the headbanger surface. It’s not a horror film, but there’s a shocking quantity of blood and mayhem. In fact, there’s a surprise around every corner — just when you think sentimentality will out, you get poked. Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, and Patrick Stewart (you know, Captain Picard) star, but the rest of the cast is full-metal commitment. (DJP) Camino Real/Fairview/Metro 4

Residing in the same genre of bloated and heavy-hearted action-fantasy as The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones and borrowing their formulae, this sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman is another attempt at reviving an old Disney story with an updated air of maturity. Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and Freya (Emily Blunt) fight Ravenna (Charlize Theron) amid a swirl of dazzling effects and dour dwarves. The graphics are imaginative but unreal, the soundtrack swollen with undue portent, and the energy evoking wet snow, a coldly dull story of ice queens and wood spirits. At least Hemsworth is hot.

When another drug gang steals the kitty (named Keanu), our heroes, stereotypical nerds, traverse the dark criminal underbelly to save their cat. Most of the humor results from the juxtaposition of cute and hostile, and the movie has a few funny moments, such as Peele’s character convincing a carload of thugs that George Michael ought to be their jam.

Eye in the Sky (102 mins.; R) Top military officials — Colonel Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren) and Lieutenant General Frank Benson (Alan Rickman) — grapple with the ethical and logistical issues surrounding drone warfare.

It also boasts one of Rickman’s final performances, in which he shines quietly. (NC)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of may 5 ARIES (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): “Silence is not silence, but a limit of hearing,” writes Jane Hirshfield in her poem “Everything Has Two Endings.” This observation is apropos for you right now. There are potentially important messages you’re not registering and catalytic influences you can’t detect. But their apparent absence is due to a blank spot in your awareness, or maybe a willful ignorance left over from the old days. Now here’s the good news: You are primed to expand your listening field. You have an enhanced ability to open certain doors of perception that have been closed. If you capitalize on this opportunity, silence will give way to revelation.

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): Your ability to accomplish magic is at a peak and will continue to soar for at least two more weeks. And when I use that word “magic,” I’m not referring to the hocus-pocus performed by illusionists like Criss Angel or Harry Houdini. I’m talking about real feats of transformation that will generate practical benefits in your day-to-day life. Now study the following definitions by writer Somerset Maugham, and have faith in your ability to embody them: “Magic is no more than the art of employing consciously invisible means to produce visible effects. Will, love, and imagination are magic powers that everyone possesses; and whoever knows how to develop them to their fullest extent is a magician.”

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): According to author Vladimir Nabokov, the Russian word toska means “a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness.” Linguist Anna Wierzbicka says it conveys an emotion that blends melancholy, boredom, and yearning. Journalist Nick Ashdown suggests that for someone experiencing toska, the thing that’s yearned for may be “intangible and impossible to actually obtain.” How are doing with your own toska, Gemini? Is it conceivable that you could escape it — maybe even heal it? I think you can. I think you will. Before you do, though, I hope you’ll take time to

explore it further. Toska has more to teach you about the previously hidden meaning of your life.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22): “Gandhi’s autobiography is on my pillow,” writes Cancerian poet Buddy Wakefield. “I put it there every morning after making my bed so I’ll remember to read it before falling asleep. I’ve been reading it for 6 years. I’m on Chapter 2.” What’s the equivalent phenomenon in your world, my fellow Crab? What good deed or righteous activity have you been pursuing with glacial diligence? Is there a healthy change you’ve been thinking about forever but not making much progress on? The mood and the sway of the coming days will bring you a good chance to expedite the process. In Wakefield’s case, he could get up to Chapter 17.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22): In the 16th century, European explorers searched South America in quest of a mythical city of gold known as El Dorado. Tibetan Buddhist tradition speaks of Shambhala, a magical holy kingdom where only enlightened beings live. In the legends of ancient Greece, Hyperborea was a sunny paradise where the average human life span was a thousand years and happiness was normal. Now is an excellent time for you to fantasize about your own version of utopia, Leo. Why? First, your imagination is primed to expand. Second, dreaming big will be good for your mental and physical health. There’s another reason, too: By envisioning the most beautiful world possible, you will mobilize your idealism and boost your ability to create the best life for yourself in the coming months.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): “Anytime you’re going to grow, you’re going to lose something,” said psychologist James Hillman. “You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe. You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity.” I nominate these thoughts to serve as your words of wisdom in the coming weeks, Virgo. From an astrological per-

spective, you are in a phase when luxuriant growth is possible. To harvest the fullness of the lush opportunities, you should be willing to shed outworn stuff that might interfere.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): On Cracked.com, Auntie Meme tells us that many commonly held ideas about history are wrong. There were no such things as chastity belts in the Middle Ages, for example. Napoleon’s soldiers didn’t shoot off the nose of the Sphinx when they were stationed in Egypt. In regard to starving peasants, Marie Antoinette never derisively said, “Let them eat cake.” And no Christians ever became meals for lions in ancient Rome’s Colosseum. (More: tinyurl.com/ historicaljive.) In the spirit of Auntie Meme’s exposé, and in alignment with the astrological omens, I invite you to uncover and correct at least three fabrications, fables, and lies about your own past.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Poet Charles Wright marvels at the hummingbird, “who has to eat sixty times his own weight a day just to stay alive. Now that’s a life on the edge.” In the coming weeks, Scorpio, your modus operandi may have resemblances to the hummingbird’s approach. I don’t mean to suggest that you will be in a manic survival mode. Rather, I expect you’ll feel called to nourish your soul with more intensity than usual. You’ll need to continuously fill yourself up with experiences that inspire, teach, and transform you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): “Anybody can become angry,” said Greek philosopher Aristotle. “That is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.” I’m pleased to inform you, Sagittarius, that now is a time when you have an exceptional capacity for meeting Aristotle’s high standards. In fact, I encourage you to honor and learn all you can from your finely honed and well-expressed anger. Make it work wonders for you. Use it so constructively that no one can complain.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): To celebrate your arrival at the height of your sex appeal, I’m resurrecting the oldfashioned word “vavoom.” Feel free to use it as your nickname. Pepper it into your conversations in place of terms such as “awesome,” “wow,” or “yikes.” Use a felt-tip marker to make a temporary VAVOOM tattoo on your beautiful body. Here are other enchanted words you should take charge of and make an intimate part of your daily presentation: verve, vim, vivid, vitality, vigor, voracious, vivacious, visceral, valor, victory, and VIVA!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): When he was a boy, Mayan poet Humberto Ak’ab’al asked his mother,“What are those things that shine in the sky?”“Bees,” she answered mischievously.“Every night since then,” Humberto writes, “my eyes eat honey.” In response to this lyrical play, the logical part of our brains might rise up and say,“What a load of nonsense!” But I will ask you to set aside the logical part of your brain for now, Aquarius. According to my understanding of the astrological omens, the coming days will be a time when you need a big dose of sweet fantasies, dreamy stories, and maybe even beautiful nonsense. What are your equivalents of seeing bees making honey in the night sky’s pinpoints of light?

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): “Sometimes, a seemingly insignificant detail reveals a whole world,” says artist Pierre Cordier. “Like the messages hidden by spies in the dot of an i.” These are precisely the minutiae that you should be extra alert for in the coming days, Pisces. Major revelations may emerge from what at first seems trivial. Generous insights could ignite in response to small acts of beauty and subtle shifts of tone. Do you want glimpses of the big picture and the long-range future? Then be reverent toward the fine points and modest specifics. Homework: Thousands of amazing, inexplicable, even miraculous events occur every day. Report yours: bit.ly/amazement.

Trustee Notice T.S. No.: 9551‑3175 TSG Order No.: 150163736‑CA‑VOO A.P.N.: 031‑123‑014‑00 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 06/27/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NBS Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 07/18/2006 as Document No.: 2006‑0056308, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Santa Barbara County, California, executed by: CARMEN ORTIZ, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state).

interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. Sale Date & Time: 05/26/2016 at 01:00 PM Sale Location: At the main entrance to the County Courthouse, 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 712 SPRING ST, SANTA BARBARA, CA 93103 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to‑wit: $777,516.89 (Estimated) as of 05/11/2016. Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916‑939‑0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9551‑3175.

Appreciating

spanish Colonial style

udging Spanish Colonial Style by its main title alone, it would be easy to mistake this handsome collaboration between Rizzoli and the Santa Barbara Historical Museum for another coffee-table book with pictures of beautiful houses. As pleasurable as those can be, the rest of the title—Santa Barbara and the Architecture of James Osborne Craig and Mary McLaughlin Craig —describes something quite different and even more valuable, at least to those who wish to understand and appreciate the distinctive history of our beautiful city. Thanks to co-authors Pamela Skewes-Cox and Robert Sweeney, Spanish Colonial Style provides a significantly new appreciation of the golden age of Santa Barbara architecture, an enthralling account of a tragically short married partnership, and the fascinating story of the determined woman who survived it. How many times have I sat in the elegant Mary Craig Auditorium at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art without giving a second thought to the woman after whom the venue is named? It won’t happen again, not after this wild ride through the life and times of the young girl from Deadwood who grew up to become one of the area’s most influential and highly regarded architects. Without the tragic death of her husband when he was just 33 years old, it’s unlikely that Mary McLaughlin Craig would have ever consid-ered running her own firm. But when forced by circumstances to discover a way to support herself and her young daughter, Craig became a major driver throughout Santa Barbara architecture’s period of greatest creative ferment. Reared by a tough company lawyer in one of the West’s most notorious mining towns, Mary McLaugh-

Emmor J. Miley House II, Montecito, patio looking northwest

lin acquired a broad humanistic educa education thanks to the Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School in Washington, D.C. She met James Osborne Craig, a recent immigrant from Scotland and a tal talented draftsman, when they were both idealistic youths. He declared his love early on and pursued Mary McLaughlin through a thicket of other suitors, most of them Ivy League swells from Montecito or Pasadena. With his marriage to Mary secured, in 1921 Osborne Craig turned his attention to a property recently acquired by Bernard and Irene Hoff Hoffman just north and east of the city’s historic Casa de la Guerra. Inspired by the restoration of the Casa undertaken by Francis T. Underhill beginning in 1910, Craig sketched a large structure that would occupy most of

the block immediately to the north and east of De la Guerra Plaza. Extending all the way to Canon Perdido Street and containing interior walkways lined with fashionable shops and artists’ studios, Santa Barbara’s El Paseo was born. As early as the planning stage, Osborne Craig’s fantastic Spanish Colonial vision was embraced by the city’s oligarchy. None other than Thomas M. Storke, publisher of the Daily News and Santa Barbara’s top power broker, praised what Craig had drawn as “the most wonderful thing in the history of Santa Barbara!” in an editorial on February 6, 1922. This was a good thing, as momentum would be a crucial factor in the completion of the project. James Osborne Craig died of chronic lung problems just weeks later on March 15, and without the preapproval of such city elders as Storke and the persistence of the Hoffmans, his dream might never have been realized. Thus the architectural character of Santa Barbara was decisively influenced by a man who did not live to see his Spanish Colonial dreams become reality. Mary Craig, however, continued her husband’s mission with a flair and passion that, while perhaps not as critical, nevertheless became more pervasive. Everywhere you look in Santa Barbara and Montecito, traces can be seen of Mary Craig’s sophisticated handiwork. Many of these buildings are grand houses in the manner of George Washington Smith and Bertram Goodhue, but others, such as the Plaza Rubio complex across from the Mission Rose Garden, point the way toward the more modest version of Spanish Colonial style that dominates our city’s most pleasant neighborhoods to this day. Thanks to Pamela Skewes-Cox and Robert Sweeney, the Craigs’ extraordinary archive and romantic life stories are now available to a wider audience that cares about how Santa Barbara became so beautiful.

131 east arrellaga street B

Year Built: 1874 • Original Owner: Joseph Sexton • Architect: Peter barber

uilt by renowned architect Peter Barber, this historic Victorian features a well-preserved Italianate-style design with classic attributes, which include octagonal bay windows, heavy moldings, decorative brackets, and shiplap siding. The home was originally designed for famed nurseryman Joseph Sexton in 1874. A decade later, the residence was purchased by the More family, whose prominent holdings included their 2,000-plus-acre Goleta Valley farm along the Pacific Ocean, known today as More Mesa. In addition to cattle, their acreage produced crops of lima beans, walnuts, and olives, along with a lucrative asphalt mine. The family of eight— eight which included John’s wife, Miriam, and six children — maintained their in-town property for more than 54 years. After the Mores, neighbor Mrs. Stanley McCormick (of the farm machinery fortune) purchased and maintained the residence from 1941-1968; she used it as a guest house and accommodations for members of her personal staff. In more recent years, the property operated as an inpatient recovery center and afterward underwent several upgrades and improvements, which allowed it to serve as a spacious two-unit, mixed-use rental. Though the home sits on the busy corner lot of Santa Barbara and East Arrellaga streets, the towering hedgery, nearly eight feet in height, serves as a thorough sound barrier, shielding the residence from traffic and street noise. In addition, the property now features drought-resistant landscaping, boasting a menagerie of semi-tropical foliage that creates a soothing atmosphere of quaint serenity within walking distance to downtown.

Sweetbriar Cottage will be one of seven homes featured on From Moody to Manse: The Pearl Chase Society Historic Homes Tour on Sunday, May 15. The three-and-half-hour, self-driven tour has a limited capacity and is expected to sell out. Details and tickets are available at pearlchasesociety.org .

back books, and even more books are stacked nearby. “I’m a reader,” admits Chris, Sweetbriar Cottage’s owner, and a retired educator. She tells me that she loves books and surrounding herself with them. “Other people watch TV. I like to read and re-read my favorite books.” Fortunately, the Moody sisters were generous with bookshelves and built-ins. Chris also shares that one of the trademarks of the cottages is that they are meant to reflect the loves of their owners. So the plentiful shelves make Chris’s passion for books and reading apparent to anyone who visits her home. As Chris leads me up a narrow staircase to tour the top floor of the house, I admire the ornamental scrollwork on the stairs. Chris confirms that the pattern is a Moody trademark. The sisters chose to repeat many of the borders and decorative designs throughout their houses, and Sweetbriar is no exception. Upstairs, two charming bedrooms lie one on either side of a landing at the top of the stairs. The master features a balcony with a view over the gardens, which would be an ideal place for anyone to sit and read. This spot feels especially well-suited for Chris. The second bedroom holds two family heirloom Jenny Lind beds that Chris and her sister slept in as girls. Flanking a small window, and tucked under the sloped roof, it’s hard to imagine those beds living anywhere other than this exact room. We walk back downstairs and through the dining room and kitchen to the compact yet charismatic backyard. Chris shows me her koi pond and points out fruit trees that she has grown from seeds. In one corner of the garden is a wooden hanging porch swing that her father made by hand. This family treasure, along with the repetitive borders and patterns of the hedges, showcase the Moody influences evident even outside the cottage. As I walk away, I’m glad to know that I can visit Sweetbriar Cottage again, along with its neighbors, on the upcoming tour.

arriet and Mildred Moody were enterprising sisters with both a flair for design and a head for business who, with the help of siblings Brenda and Wilma, made their mark on Santa Barbara’s architectural landscape both literally and figuratively. The Moody sisters left as their legacy several clusters of distinctive cottages throughout Montecito and Santa Barbara, as well as an almost mythical following of admirers of both the sisters and the houses themselves. Four 1940s-era Moody sisters cottages will be featured in the upcoming annual Pearl Chase Society Historic Homes Tour, along with two craftsman residences and one restored 1920s Mediterranean-style estate. The exact addresses of the tour’s homes are kept under wraps until tickets are purchased, but a special sneak preview allowed us to visit one of the Moody sisters’ homes, named Sweetbriar Cottage. The storybook feel of Sweetbriar emanates well before one walks through the front door. From the street, an arched entryway covered with greenery frames a quaint front gate that opens to reveal a flagstone path and private front garden that is structured yet comfortable, providing a picturesque foreground for the cottage itself. A steeply pitched roof and commensurately tall, vertical windows are the most immediately distinctive features of Sweetbriar’s façade. Stepping inside Sweetbriar Cottage, I find myself in a charming period living room. Although the room is small by today’s standards, it feels airy and comfortable thanks to the high ceilings and large-scale windows. The brick fireplace catches my eye, along with its distinctive carved wooden frontispiece, which I learn was recycled from a large estate. Utilizing reclaimed materials and found objects was a Moody sisters trademark, which made sense in the immediately post-World War II time period in which the sisters were busiest. Every wall of the living room holds bookshelves filled to bursting with hard-
