And it’s mostly thanks to Lucio Hernandez (pictured) that we made it all in one piece, tempers and computers intact. The Indy’s impending move down the street had been background noise getting louder for months before we took to packing boxes last week. Along with the guys from Anthony Aira Delivery who moved our decade-old accumulations to our new shop front at 12 East Figueroa Street, it was Hernandez who heroically, and pleasantly, endured our days-long requests to move this to there, and, oh, well, actually, maybe from there to here, repeatedly. Anthony Aira laughed when he recounted Hernandez’s comment about the job: “You’re glad you weren’t here.”

ALL MUSCLE: Santa Barbara Police Officer Jacob Finerty lifted 290 pounds of tires over his head in the Axle Clean & Press during the 2015 California’s Strongest Man competition. At the time, he was on paid injury leave from the department and collecting more than $130,000 in salary and benefits.

Strongman or con Man? Police Officer Built Extreme Sports Career While on Injury Leave

by L é N a G a r c i a

Santa Barbara police officer charged with insurance fraud was competing in “strongman” contests for at least two years while on paid injury leave, records show. An officer since September 2011, Jacob Finerty, of Newbury Park, began claiming workers’ compensation benefits sometime after June 2013, when he reported he hurt himself while on duty. The nature of the injury has not been disclosed. Last year, Finerty collected a base salary of $85,182.78, or $133,619.05 with benefits. He collected a similar amount the year prior. Finerty, 27, was placed on unpaid leave as soon as the District Attorney’s Office filed its May 24 complaint, Police Chief John Crombach said. In an arraignment on June 24, Finerty stood beside his defense attorney Samantha Swanson as he pleaded not guilty to four felony counts related to filing false workers’ compensation claims. His next hearing date is scheduled for August 8. A former offensive lineman at Nebraska’s Chadron State College, Finerty was recruited in 2006 out of Hesperia’s Sultana High School by then-head coach Bill O’Boyle. In a phone interview, O’Boyle described Finerty as a “great teammate, [a] great player for us, a guy everyone looked up to.” Chadron is known for its criminal justice and business programs.

According to O’Boyle, Finerty succeeded inside and outside the classroom. “He always wanted to be a police officer.” As of January 2016, reported the Ventura County Star Star, Finerty was training for the Odd Haugen Strength Classic and American MAS Wrestling Championship in Los Angeles,

nia’s Strongest Man Contest in Huntington Beach, in which he placed third the year before. In that strongman competition, Finerty performed a series of lifting feats reminiscent of the Highland Games. He lifted a concrete Atlas stone as many times as he could and beat out competitors in an event titled Farmer’s Walk/Tire Flip/Sled-Anchor Chain Drag Death Medley. In an event called Conan’s Wheel, Finerty lifted a weight attached to a pole and pivoted it around a centerpiece. Norwegian strength athlete Odd Haugen owns The Training Hall in Newbury Park, where Finerty works as head sports trainer, according to the gym’s website. An athlete sponsored by Dymatize Nutrition, Finerty’s brief biography on the bodybuilding supplement’s webpage states the following: “After football he went into the police academy, so he had to learn to train dif differently and get into more ‘fighter’ shape. His hobbies other than lifting include Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing which helped for the academy. He needed competition in his life again so he began training strongman and MAS wrestling. In two years he has climbed the amateur ranks and finished 6th in a very elite Pro/Am n show in California.”

whose men’s heavyweight division he won. Finerty’s competition records date back to March 2014, when he took home the bronze medal at the North American MAS Wrestling Absolute Championship in Columbus, Ohio. In November 2014, he traveled to Yakutsk in Russia to compete with Team U.S.A. in the World MAS Wrestling Championships. Most recently, Finerty won the March 26 Califorindependent.com

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

Arturo Herrera, 30, was arrested on the Fourth of July after allegedly killing his 28-year-old brother, Enrique Herrera. Around 1:15 p.m., Arturo reported to authorities that he discovered Enrique had been assaulted at their Lompoc home on the 4300 block of West Ocean Avenue, where the two lived with their mother. Investigators, who determined Enrique suffered a fatal injury, deemed the death a homicide. Arturo was booked into Santa Barbara County Jail on multiple murder charges, not further specified, with $1 million bail. Santa Barbara County’s District Attorney’s Office on 6/29 filed murder charges against Sean Kothe, accused of killing his girlfriend’s one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Delilah Cossio-Molina. The toddler died on 6/28 from “severe head trauma” at Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera, after being airlifted from Santa Maria’s Marian Regional Medical Center, where her mother — Jackeline Molina-Rodriguez, 21 — brought her on 6/26. Kothe, 24, pleaded not guilty on 6/30 in Santa Maria Superior Court to murder and assault on a child causing death. Francisco Diego, 40, of Miami, is facing attempted murder and hate crime charges after authorities say he tried to stab a 34-year-old homeless man to death on the night of 6/21 near Santa Barbara’s Central Library. Diego, who had recently arrived from Los Angeles, allegedly attempted to stab and slash the victim with a knife while yelling racial slurs against African Americans. He was restrained and detained by an off-duty police officer. Evidence indicates the attack was racially motivated and started when the victim took Diego’s cigarettes. pau l we llm a n

Mark Melchiori (pictured), 49, pleaded not guilty on 7/5 to 47 felony charges including embezzlement, insurance and wage fraud, and diverting construction funds. Casey Nelson and Carl Barnes of the county District Attorney’s Office agreed to defense attorney Josh Lynn’s request to appear in court for the former head of Melchiori Construction until “crucial moments” in the case. Currently employed as executive vice president of the Morgan Hill–based Corinthian Development Company, Melchiori reportedly lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Santa Barbara School Boardmembers (from left) Ed Heron, Kate Parker, Monique Limón, Gayle Eidelson, and Dr. Pedro Paz Big changes are on the horizon at Santa Barbara Unified School District, with three seats up for grabs this fall on its five-member Board of Education. Stepping down are Gayle Eidelson, board president Pedro Paz — both of whom cited family priorities as to why they’re not seeking reelection — and Ed Heron, 75, who’s retiring after eight years on the board. A fourth seat is likely to open up, as well. Boardmember Monique Limón is widely considered a shoe-in to replace outgoing Assemblymember Das Williams. If Limón wins Williams’s seat this fall, her replacement will be appointed by the school board after the first of the year. Laura Capps, daughter of Congressmember Lois Capps, announced her candidacy in April. On July 1, Wendy Sims-Moten, a business manager at First 5 Santa Barbara County, told The Santa Barbara Independent that she will be running. The filing period with the County of Santa Barbara Elections Office is open July 18-August 12. Heron described the demands of the position as “a huge learning curve and obligation. You’re dealing with a large number of people and how your decisions affect them personally.” Making matters more complex, the district recently hired a new superintendent, Dr. Cary Matsuoka, to replace retiring Dr. Dave Cash. Matsuoka starts next week. — Keith Hamm

COuNty Citing an “influx” of accidents on Highway 154, California Highway Patrol (CHP) officials took to the side of Highway 154 in Los Olivos to advise drivers to mind the rules of the road. At a 6/30 press conference, officers reminded the public that collisions on the 154 are an issue that highway travelers must address through safe driving. Policing of the highway has increased on the heels of a 12-month grant funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety. Review of the Lompoc Unified School District (LUSD), conducted by the Santa Barbara County Civil Grand Jury, has revealed both a lack of fiscal transparency and serious ethical shortcomings surrounding the relationship between Board of Education member Bill Christen and his spouse, Tina Christen, the district’s Director of Special Education. The 6/29 report also pointed to complaints of LUSD’s hostile work environment. Among other recommendations, the jury suggested reimbursement of pay increases received by Tina Christen. Goleta’s City Council recently voted to give the library $60,000 from the Developer Impact Fee fund — limited to book-buying — and the county supervisors just gave an additional $200,000 to help the Library System (Goleta gets $41,328). The Friends of the Goleta Valley Library intends to pitch in $70,000$80,000 to keep the doors open on Sundays

and fund children’s programs. Still, the Goleta library finds itself about $25,000 short and with no children’s librarian. The City Council revisits the issue on 7/19.

fIRE More than 2,000 acres are smoldering in the wake of the growing Pine Fire, a wildfire in the Los Padres National Forest’s Sespe Wilderness north of Ojai. As of July 6, firefighting crews had achieved 18 percent containment, mostly along the fire’s eastern flank near the Fishbowls Trail area. More than 650 personnel are assigned to the blaze. Due to the remote location in a federally designated wilderness area, overnight crews on the ground are receiving supplies via pack mules. Closures include Pine Mountain Recreational Area at Highway 33, Reyes Creek campground, the Piedra Blanca and Chorro Grande trailheads, and the Grade Valley area, including Grade Valley Road at Lockwood Valley Road. There are no mandatory evacuations. A two-acre fire broke out on the mountainside of Spyglass Ridge Road up in Mission Canyon on 7/2. The fire, logged in at dispatch by 2:26 p.m., had about a dozen engines and crews from county, city, Montecito, and Los Padres fire responding by about 2:40 p.m. A jet tanker, led by a Lear Jet, arrived quickly after being diverted from Ventura County’s 1,800acre Pine Fire.

NOW WHAT? With news that the Flamingo Mobile Home Park was up for sale, resident JoAnn Garrett worried she’d lose her home of 54 years.

crisis a averted? One Mobile Home Park Spared Development, but Is Another at Risk?

by K e L S e y B r u G G e r n recent weeks, fears mounted among low-income seniors who live at Flamingo Mobile Home Park—the senior trailer park tucked into Santa Barbara’s Eastside — as news of an impending sale spread. Five months ago, after tenants found out that the property went on the market for $10 million, rumors abounded that the park’s 72 units would be removed and replaced with condominiums. An emergency meeting was convened at the park’s poolside, where little was done to quell the tenants’ worries. “It weighs on you when you are in jeopardy of losing everything you have,” said 68-year-old JoAnn Garrett, who moved to the trailer park at age 14 before it was exclusively for seniors. But the park’s owner, Elizabeth Keeter, pledged this week that she would never sell the property to a developer.“I grew up in this area,” she said.“I used to catch tadpoles in the creek. I used to swim in that pool in the ’70s.” Now she lives just down the street. “We were only [putting it on the market] because someone wanted to buy it for investment purposes,” Keeter explained. She said past deals fell through, and currently there is no purchase contract in place. That contradicts reports from sources who claimed a deal is underway and that a new owner would take over by August. Under that contract, sources said, the mobile home park would remain as it is. The management company —Lynx Property Management—has a lease through 2030. In 2013, Keeter inherited the property from her grandfather. “You cannot develop the property because it’s rent controlled,” she said.“Even if it wasn’t, I don’t want 200 condominiums 200 feet from my driveway.” independent.com

Yet Keeter said she “became a total outcast” among the residents after she missed the February meeting because she was told the wrong time. After that, she said, she was unreachable because she spent two months in Maryland helping a close friend cope with an unexpected death in the family. In the City of Santa Barbara, mobile home parks—of which there are 15—are protected by rent control. Garrett, for instance, pays about $400 a month for rent while newer tenants pay $725. Most residents own their units. That law is silent, however, on tenant protections should the property change hands. “If you own the trailer and they kick you out, you’d be forced to move the trailer,” explained City Councilmember Jason Dominguez. “There are generally no openings in the region.” Dominguez said options that exist to maintain a mobile home park include condemning the park under eminent domain or establishing a co-op model in which the residents collectively purchase the property. City and state laws do not prohibit buyers from developing mobile home parks, but the city’s mobile home ordinance is rather onerous, and no Santa Barbara parks have been developed in at least the last 20 years. The state regulates mobile home parks, but city laws come into play if the landlord tries to change its use. The ordinance requires an owner to obtain a conversion permit, which requires relocation assistance, proper noticing, and a public hearing, among other things. According to zoning codes, the Flamingo property could potentially be converted to a 45-foot-tall building with 15-27 units. The property, located on Cacique Street, hugs Sycamore Creek, which would pose development constraints. In addition, a new owner must consider adequate cont’d page 12  JUly 7, 2016

news briefs cont’d hEALth A layer of privacy has been added to an effort by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department to support schools as California’s controversial vaccination law, SB 277, goes into effect. SB 277 requires students to be inoculated against 10 commonly targeted diseases, unless a doctor approves a medical exemption. The health department’s Medical Exemption Pilot Program (MEPP), initially rolled out on 6/6, directs schools and child care centers to report all medical exemptions to the department. MEPP requires schools to black out a student’s name and any identifying information before faxing his or her vaccination record to the department. MEPP’s original directive did not require such redaction.

WAtER Judge Thomas Anderle approved a negotiated settlement between the Montecito Water District and Santa Barbara polo padrone Pat Nesbitt (pictured), who launched a class-action crusade when the district denied him an agricultural water permit for his polo fields and made him pay the more expensive residential water rates.

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson had nothing but praise for Governor Jerry Brown even though he vetoed her bill to require gun owners to report the theft or loss of their guns within five days. “The important thing is he signed six gun bills that will make California a much safer state,” Jackson said. Brown argued “responsible people” will report their guns missing with or without Jackson’s bill, and irresponsible people won’t. State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson Brown signed a bill that would require all ammunition vendors to be licensed and to screen would-be buyers to make sure they pass a background test. People deemed unfit to purchase a firearm — because of violent criminal history or severe mental illness — will not be allowed to purchase ammunition. Brown also signed a bill that would outlaw any gun that can be equipped with a quick-reload button for multi-round cartridges. The couple who killed 14 in San Bernardino last year had weapons equipped with this feature. In addition, Brown and the Legislature agreed to spend $5 million to study gun violence to determine what methods are most effective in reducing gun deaths and injuries. Rick Dodge, owner of Santa Barbara’s Dodge City gun shop, dismissed the package of new bills as “feel good” legislation that will have little practical effect. “Sales will go up initially because people don’t want to be regulated,” he said, “but then after a while, they’ll go down.” Dodge said California gun dealers were required to track ammunition sales between 1968 and 1986 to Father and son Rick and Kyle Dodge of Dodge City assist law enforcement, but Shooters Supply the legislation was repealed because it had little utility. “Right now, 14,000 people are killed annually in car accidents,” he said. “Why aren’t we requiring all cars to come equipped with built-in breathalyzers?” Even though Brown approved a major legislative package, Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom stated he plans to proceed with an even more ambitious collection of guncontrol measures slated for the statewide ballot this November. Many Democratic party leaders fear that Newsom’s initiative will galvanize gun-control opponents and — Nick Welsh bring them to the polls in large numbers.

Nesbitt contended that his personal polo field was, in fact, a sod farm. After the water district all but abolished the special rates for agriculture, Nesbitt filed a lawsuit against the district on behalf of all ag operators who may have paid more for their water than what it cost the district to provide. Nesbitt prevailed, and Montecito agreed to pay up to $1.8 million plus another $500,000 in legal fees. n

Making Waves at cachuma

As if five years of drought weren’t bad enough, a long-simmering internal conflict has boiled over at the agency that delivers water to the Santa Ynez Valley from Lake Cachuma. In an angry May 27 letter to the Cachuma Operation and Maintenance Board (COMB), the Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District, Improvement District No. 1, announced its withdrawal from the board, alleging “disregard for the rule of law.” Specifically, the district contends that COMB is conducting a federally mandated steelhead trout monitoring and protection program below Bradbury Dam without authorization from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, spending too much money on fish passage projects, and allowing Chris Dahlstrom too much water to flow downstream for the steelhead. “COMB has turned into a fish-advocacy agency,” Chris Dahlstrom, the district general manager, said in an interview. “ID No. 1’s purpose is to protect our water rights and our water supplies.” In a stiffly worded reply on June 3, Douglas Morgan, president of COMB, said the board was “obviously disappointed” that Santa Ynez ID No. 1 chose unilaterally to withdraw while making a “continued recitation of unfounded and demonstrably inaccurate claims.” Steelhead, a form of rainbow trout, are an endangered species in Southern California. Only a few hundred juvenile trout survive in the river and creeks below Bradbury Dam. In the past, ranchers downstream of Bradbury Dam have vigorously opposed fish-passage projects in the Santa Ynez River and its tributaries, and challenged COMB’s authorization to build them. “I understand the frustration and the concerns that ID No. 1 has raised,” said Charles Hamilton, the outgoing general manager of the Carpinteria Valley Water District. “A lot of their knowledge about downstream users will be lost. It’s a little bit like Brexit, now that they’ve voted to leave. What does it mean?” COMB has a budget of about $8 million yearly, including $3 million for trout monitoring below Bradbury. Roughly a third of the fish-management program is paid for with state and federal grants. In his letter, Morgan told Santa Ynez ID No. 1 it must pay $92,600 for its share of fish program assessments owed since September 2015. The district, in turn, has asked to see the books: It contends that COMB’s grant monies covered some of the bill. In previous years, the district had paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the fish-management program under protest. “These are problems that have occurred over many years and accumulated to the point where the ID No. 1 board has determined that it was not in its best interests to continue participating in COMB,” Dahlstrom said. “The district has tried to resolve these conflicts but has been — Melinda Burns unsuccessful.”

Next door, the fate of Tropical Garden also remains the subject of growing speculation. According to city planning czar George Buell, the Tropical Garden site is zoned to allow 27-48 residential units. One wellplaced source indicates the park is poised to change hands and that the 50-trailer property is now under contract. And unlike the Flamingo, according to this source, major changes in use and development are in store for the Tropical Garden. Efforts to contact Don Donaldson, who has owned the property for 30 years, proved unsuccessful by deadline. Park general manager Gregory Barnes dismissed reports of the sale as “false rumors.” Darin Packard, a park resident and maintenance worker, called Tropical Garden “a hidden gem” that 12

None of the Tropical Garden residents own their trailers; they rent from Donaldson reportedly on a month-to-month basis. In that scenario, tenants would have little protection should a new owner seek to make big changes. With undeveloped land at a premium, real estate operators are casting a keener eye at mobile home parks for opportunities. Although City Hall is actively promoting higher-density housing in hopes of achieving some affordability, it remains questionable whether any new development can match the two mobile home parks for either density or affordability.

But Cooper claims this was false evidence, planted and manipulated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department to convict him.

When the warden suddenly closed the door on him, Parker said, he was overcome by vertigo. “That was what I call an epiphany for me,” he said.“Probably every person who sat there before me could not get up and walk away. That’s when I started reevaluating where I stood.” If Cooper is executed, Parker has vowed to continue working to clear the prisoner’s name. Last fall, the influential Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, an autonomous organ of the Organization of American States, recommended that Cooper be granted a reprieve, pending a new investigation. Citing in part Parker’s allegations of “endemic tunnel vision,” the commission concluded that the U.S. had violated Cooper’s rights to a fair trial, due process, and equality before the law. And this March, in a letter to Governor Brown, the American Bar Association called for an executive reprieve for Cooper and a “robust review and investigation” of the case by the state Board of Parole Hearings. The Chino Hills murders occurred on the night of June 4, 1983, when Doug and Peggy Ryen, their daughter Jessica, 10, and a friend, Christopher Hughes, 11, were attacked with a hatchet, an ice pick, and either one or two knives, dying within minutes at the Ryens’ home.

by M e l i N d a B u r N s fter a long career as an FBI boss, having put the Mafia behind bars, investigated dozens of homicides, and sent two murderers to their deaths by lethal injection, Tom Parker became a spokesperson for death penalty repeal. Parker, a 72-year-old Santa Barbaran, is seeking the support of law enforcement officials for the Justice That Works Act, a death penalty repeal measure that qualified last month for the November ballot in California. “There were times during my career when I would gladly have pushed the button on a murderer,” Parker said. “Today, my position would be life without parole.” During 45 years in law enforcement, Parker said, he’s seen too many corrupt homicide investigations to believe in the death penalty anymore. The worst of them, he said, is the Chino Hills murder case of 1983. For five years, Parker has been working pro bono as a lead investigator to free Kevin Cooper, an African-American who was convicted for killing three members of the Douglas Ryen family and their houseguest in June 1983 in the affluent white community of Chino Hills in San Bernardino County. Cooper had escaped from a nearby minimum-security prison, where he was serving a sentence for burglary. He was arrested off Santa Cruz Island in July 1983 and is on death row in San Quentin State Prison. “Kevin was a car thief and a burglar, but he doesn’t deserve to be where he is,” Parker said. “I’m convinced he was framed. We arrest and convict innocent people almost every day in this country. As long as we have a death penalty in America, we will continue to execute innocent people.” The notorious Chino Hills case is a flash point for both sides of the death penalty debate, even as it draws national and international scrutiny for alleged human rights violations. Having exhausted his court appeals, Cooper recently petitioned Governor Jerry Brown for clemency and requested a new investigation to determine his guilt or innocence for once and for all. California voters will confront a stark choice in the fall. The Death Penalty Reform and Savings Act, a measure to speed up executions, also has qualified for the November ballot. Michael Ramos, the district attorney for San Bernardino County and a candidate for state attorney general in 2018, is a spokesperson for it. Nearly 750 prisoners are on death row in California: the last to be executed was Clarence Ray Allen, in 2006. “Kevin Cooper is the perfect example of how dysfunctional the appellate process is and how it is being abused by those on Death Row in California,” Ramos stated on his campaign website. “He has appealed multiple times to the California Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court, and each time our case gets stronger.” The courts have called the evidence against Cooper “overwhelming”—spots of Cooper’s blood in the Ryens’ hallway and on a tan T-shirt by the road; bloody prints of prison-issue Keds inside and outside the Ryen house; Cooper’s cigarette

Winifred “Winkie” Lennihan 1929-2016

Winifred “Winkie” Lennihan died peacefully on June 23, 2016, in Santa Barbara. Born in 1929, Winkie graduated from Stanford University in 1949 and married David Welles Lennihan, a Marine who became a successful attorney in San Francisco. Together, they raised three children before David’s death in 1981. For many years as a widower, she cultivated her interest in natural history, spending much of her time in British Columbia and at Fall River studying plants, watching birds, and fly-fishing. Winkie married Russ Roberts in 1996 and moved to Santa Barbara. She and Russ traveled the world and enjoyed sailing, fly fishing, and playing golf. Winkie’s boundless energy and her enthusiasm for life were shared with her family and friends, all of whom will miss her dearly. She is survived by her children, Dave (Chugiak, AK), Robert (Morro Bay, CA), and Martha Lennihan (Sacramento, CA). Stephanie Foster Burkard 1941-2016

Steffie (“Don’t call me Stef!”) was born at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City to Glen Varick Foster and Jeanne Lyons Foster. Not long afterwards, accompanied by Steffie’s sister Wendy, the family left Park Avenue behind and moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. There, with several other socialite couples (including Varick’s older brother Grey and his wife) they shared ownership of Sandy Loam Farm, which was reportedly better known for parties and the comings and goings of the likes of Howard Hughes than for food production. 14

THE INDEPENDENT

After the end of WWII the Fosters moved west to Montecito, California, where Varick’s sister Almira and her husband Jim Struthers had been living for several years. Steffie enjoyed a wonderful Montecito childhood of horseback riding, bicycles, tennis, Miramar beach and the Coral Casino. A move to Mission Canyon followed after her parent’s divorce and mother’s marriage to Italian sculptor Renzo Fenci. Stephanie attended Crane Country Day School, Montecito Union and Santa Barbara Junior High. In 1956, while Steffie was a sophomore at Santa Barbara High School, she began dating senior Ron Burkard (who fell madly in love with her). She graduated from Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy (where she had been sent to keep her apart from Ron) in 1959. After a semester at Arizona State University Stephanie and Ron married on March 25, 1961, in the garden of Renzo’s Mission Canyon studio behind Santa Barbara’s Old Mission. On May 11, 1962, Steffie and Ron’s first child, Eric, became the third generation of Burkards to be born at Santa Barbara’s St. Francis Hospital. He was delivered by Dr. Paul Munch, first cousin of Ron’s grandfather Dr. Adrian F. Burkard (known as “El Doctor Santo” in Santa Barbara’s Hispanic community). After Ron’s graduation from UCSB in 1962 Ron and Steffie attended the American Institute for Foreign Trade in Glendale, Arizona (now Thunderbird School of Global Management). There the couple prepared themselves for a career in Latin America. A spectacular lifetime of world experiences began weeks after graduation from Thunderbird in 1963 when Ron was hired by the international relief and development organization CARE and assigned to Mexico City. Stephanie and Ron’s dream of living and working in Mexico was realized! Their second child, Karin, was born there a few months later. The following year Ron and Stephanie were transferred to Guadalajara, a few hours drive from Mazatlan, where Stephanie’s father was living at the time. A major decision had to be made in 1965 when CARE decided to end its programs in Mexico: remain in Mexico and look for another source of income, or continue with CARE? When Ron was

Stephanie, Ron, Eric and Karin made the first of countless visits through the years to Sarasota and were impressed by its tropical beauty and beaches. Next stop: Barranquilla, on Colombia’s tropical north coast. Stephanie once again bravely faced setting up a comfortable home and raising two young children, while Ron’s responsibilities required frequent travel to Peace Corps sites in isolated rural areas and urban slums. In less than a year there was another move, to colonial Popayan in southwest Colombia, and then a promotion for Ron and move to the Colombia’s capital, Bogota. In 1968 Ron became director of CARE-Nicaragua. During the family’s two years in Managua their third child, Caroline, was born. On May 31, 1970, a massive earthquake devastated a huge area of Peru, leaving at least 70,000 dead. Ron was asked to lead a disaster response effort and the Burkards moved to Lima, Peru, where they remained for nearly five years. After twelve years living in seven Latin American cities a dramatic shift took place in 1975 with a move to New Delhi, India. Little did they realize that the following year they would pack up again and move further east, to Dhaka, Bangladesh. Unfortunately, the American International School in Dhaka only went to 8th grade, which Eric had just completed in New Delhi. He enrolled in Kodaikanal School in South India, to be followed there the following year by Karin. After sixteen years living outside the United States, in 1979 Ron was offered a senior position at CARE’s New York headquarters. During the next four years Stephanie worked as a travel agent in Westchester County, north of New York City. In late 1983 the opportunity to return to Mexico presented itself and Ron, Stephanie and Caroline moved to Mexico City. (Eric and Karin were in college by then.) Ron promised Stephanie “no more moves after this!” Nevertheless, in January 1985, Ron agreed to a temporary assignment in Bolivia, expecting to return to Mexico in about four months. It was not to be.

That summer Stephanie and Caroline reluctantly joined him in La Paz, Bolivia, where 24,000% annual inflation and political instability made living and working a definite challenge. In mid-1986 Ron and Stephanie returned to Mexico City “to stay,” and Caroline moved to Santa Barbara for her final year of high school. In 1987 she became the third generation of the family to graduate from Santa Barbara High School. Stephanie said many times “India was great, but once was enough.” However, when the opportunity presented itself, in 1987 Ron and Stephanie returned to New Delhi, followed by moves to Quito, Ecuador, in 1990; Johannesburg, South Africa in 1993; and Washington, D.C. in 1995. Ron’s 33-year career with CARE ended in 1996. Shortly thereafter a “perfect job opportunity” resulted in yet another move, to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where he became director of World Neighbors, and Stephanie continued her supporting role and became involved in various volunteer activities. Throughout all these moves Stephanie excelled as wife, mother, hostess and volunteer. She was noted for her beauty, style, good taste, cooking and sense of humor. She continually created tasteful, welcoming and comfortable environments for family and friends. It would not be possible to count the number of wonderful meals she hosted or the number of people she warmly welcomed into her homes in the ten countries she lived in. Stephanie was the “go to” person in all those places for information about where to shop for just about everything. Stephanie was also fully supportive of Ron’s career and encouraged him to accept positions around the world in spite of the inconveniences involved. She enjoyed the challenges of finding new homes, making them welcoming and comfortable and becoming knowledgeable about local cultures, people and foods. Stephanie earned horseback riding trophies in Bogota, won tennis tournaments in Bangladesh, ran the American Women’s Club’s Servants Registry in New Delhi, prepared school lunches in urban slums in Peru, worked at the American School and the Embassy of Argentina in Bangladesh, was an international election observer at South Africa’s

first all-race elections, volunteered at the Smithsonian’s Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C., held various positions with the Oklahoma City Orchestra League, volunteered at the Integris Hospital’s gift shop, mentored at-risk children and somehow found time to become both a master gardener and Bridge life master. In New Delhi she made raised beds from old crates so that she could grow her own lettuce on the roof of the apartment. After finally returning home to Santa Barbara at the end of 2011 Stephanie hosted numerous students from around the world in Santa Barbara to learn English, even as her health declined as a result of C.O.P.D. Truly a remarkable life! In addition to her husband Ron Burkard of Oklahoma City and sister Wendy Foster (Pierre Lafond) of Santa Barbara, Stephanie is survived by her children Eric (Christel) of New York City, Karin Burkard Watkins (Jim) of Cape Coral, Florida and Caroline Burkard of Oxnard, CA; grandchildren Maya Thomas of Fort Myers, Florida, Jacob and Bailey Watkins of Cape Coral, Florida and Natalie Burkard of New York City; great-granddaughter Valerie Velazquez of Fort Myers, Florida; mother-in-law Betty Burkard of Sarasota, Florida, step-brother Piero Fenci (Liz) of Nacadoches, Texas, and many friends around the world. It comforts us to believe that she is happily reunited with many loved ones who predeceased her, as well as with her beloved Airedales Corky, Mr. Foster and Miss Lucy. (Her canine Burtie and favorite neighborhood crows Heckle and Jeckle keep hoping for her return!) The family expresses its gratitude and appreciation to Stephanie’s physician Robert S. Wright, MD, to Stephanie’s long-time friend Loretta Farren and to Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care of Santa Barbara for their compassion and support during Stephanie’s final weeks. “Don’t count the days; make the days count!”

Tale of Two RepoRTs: The best you can say about Hillary Clinton these days is that she can take a beating and she’s not Donald Trump. That may not sound great, but given the alternative, it’s more than enough. When I voted for Clinton this June, I did so warts and all; I voted my fear, not my heart. And there’s a lot to be afraid of. I, for one, have always found clowns scary. I make it a point to never watch scary clown movies. Under no circumstances could I consider electing one commander in chief. That doesn’t mean I pretend Hillary Clinton is the Second Coming of Sliced Cheese. She’s obviously not. This week, the FBI concluded Clinton’s use and abuse of her unsecured personal BlackBerry to send and receive confidential, secret, and top-secret State Department memos was “extremely careless.” Clinton knew — or should have known—better, the report found, even if the memos in question were not labeled “topsecret.” None of this, however, rose to the level of criminal conduct. No intentionality could be demonstrated. For anyone else, this would have been damning stuff. But for the past 30 years, Clinton has been vilified nonstop by legions of misogynistic haters, insistent on portraying her every molehill as a towering mountain range. Remember Travelgate? Her alleged role in Vince Foster’s suicide? Whitewater? In the end, all smoke and no fire. Admittedly, Clinton’s response has at times been chillingly Nixonian. But

he got steamrolled by U.S. president George W. Bush to join his unilateral attack, instead. just because Clinton’s paranoid doesn’t mean “I will be with you, whatever,” Blair eventually “a vast right-wing conspiracy” isn’t out to get told Bush. No wonder he’s now ridiculed as her. If Clinton could survive three decades “Washington’s Poodle.” Blair acknowledges of such attacks, she can get in the ring with he was mistaken. But he insists his mistakes were made in good faith; no one, he Trump and hold her own.

By contrast, then-senator Hillary Clinton voted for Bush’s war authorization bill on the mistaken belief it could intimidate Saddam Hussein into compliance with the international inspections for weapons of mass destruction he was then resisting. Clinton said she took Bush “at his word” that he would seek international support before pursuing unilateral action. I’m not sure what Capps knew that Clinton should have, but 4,500 dead Americans and 250,000 dead Iraqis later, and $1.7 trillion pissed down the drain, it might have made a difference. During her 2008 primary battle against Barack Obama, Clinton could not bring herself to admit she made a mistake. This time around, she’ managed to concede as much, albeit grudgingly and without elaboration. How about the Scary Clown candidate? During multiple debates, Trump has claimed he had been vocally against the war from the very start, claiming he could cite “25 stories” that demonstrate this fact. He even claimed the White House had tried to silence him. No such records, surprisingly, exist. During an interview on September 11, 2002, Trump was asked directly by shock jock Howard Stern if he supported the war. “Yeah, I guess so,” he replied. When pressed later about those remarks, Trump explained he was not a “politician” at the time. When considering the upcoming election, I’d suggest we keep it that way. And remember, sliced cheese ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. As long as we have scary clowns on the ballot, I’m voting my fear, not my heart. — Nick Welsh

Houston Adams Harte, beloved and loving son, brother and friend, passed away suddenly on Saturday, June 25, at age 30. Houston is survived by his parents, Anne and Houston; sister, Hannah; grandparents, Carolyn and Houston Harte, and Marianne Pfaelzer; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, his beloved friends, and their families. Houston was born in Denver, Colorado, and raised in Santa Barbara, California. He graduated from the University of Denver and immediately began his career at AppFolio in Goleta, CA, where he served as an important member of a growing company for over seven years. Recently Houston had excitedly joined his family's businesses in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, as a managing partner. In all ventures, he completely immersed himself in his professional work, fully dedicated to the vision of the organizations and supportive of his colleagues. Houston will be remembered as an active member of his communities, in both the U.S. and Mexico. He was always quick to embrace those that were left out or mistreated, and to make a sincere effort to include and advocate for all. He had a zeal for life and an intense love for his friends and family. His large, charming presence and sense of humor brought light and joy to those around him. Houston drew people together and made them feel special and loved. He had a smile that was "infectious" and gave the "best, most loving, bear hugs" that could "cure any bad mood." Among his favorite activities were traveling and meeting new people, challenging himself to create extravagant dishes in the kitchen, dressing up in his father's suits on special occasions, dressing up in outrageous costumes as often as possible, hiking with the family's dogs, watching the Broncos win, exploring art museums, playing music loudly, and spending time with the people he loved.

Fredric August Fucci was born February 28, 1926, in Brooklyn, New York, to Federico Fucci and Edythe Anderson. He died June 26, 2016, at his home in Goleta, where he lived with Carol Peterson. A memorial service will be held July 18, 11:30 a.m., at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church of Santa Barbara (Truls Nelson and Russ Gordon officiating); a reception will follow at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. His ashes will be scattered at sea, per his request. Fred attended Brooklyn Technical High School, specializing in engineering, and spent his summers working at a Boy Scout camp, where he eventually became an Eagle Scout and Scoutmaster to 40 children. He enlisted in the US Navy after graduation, hoping to become a pilot, but was stationed with other duties in Florida for 2 years. He was finally able to realize his dream when Mark Hurd Aerial Photography of Santa Barbara put him to work in 1948 as a photo-navigator mapping the United States. In 1952, Fred married Elda Anna Heyden, daughter of Erdman Heyden and Leona Lamb, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In 1954, Hycon Aerial Surveys offered him the opportunity to do some high altitude flying in South and Central America, so the family packed their bags and spent the next 3 years living in Chile, Peru, and Ecuador. Returning to Santa Barbara 1968, he began purchasing and building duplexes near the beach and university in Isla Vista, beginning a new career in property management. He took college classes to learn the building trade and went to work for Michael Towbes Construction. In 1970 he purchased a home in one of their developments, and then built a vacation cabin in Lake Nacimiento’s Laguna Vista Boat Club. Fred retired from

L. Robert Stites, a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, passed away peacefully of natural causes on Friday, June 24, at home in Santa Barbara, with family at his side. Born in Sparks, Nevada, to Letha and Lloyd Ernest Stites, he was the second eldest of 4 children. He graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno in 1958 with a bachelor of arts degree in studio art and subsequently taught classes in drawing and painting at the university. Bob married Sandra Newell, whom he had known since high school, in 1959. In 1962, he moved his family to Santa Barbara where he continued his career as an artist. Bob was active in the Santa Barbara art scene for many years and worked every single day until his health prevented him from doing so in 2015. His work has been widely exhibited across the United States and is in several noteworthy collections. A kind and gentle man, with immense interior strength and dignity and a wonderful sense of humor and mischief, he lived his life on his own terms and to the fullest. Bob was preceded in death by his brothers, Lloyd and Michael. He is survived by his wife, Sandy; daughters, Laura, Deirdre (and husband John), and Susan; granddaughter, Amber (and great-grandson Bassam Robert); sister, Patricia; and 7 nieces and 1 nephew.

Towbes Construction in 1992, but vacation plans had to be put on hold due to his wife’s declining health; Elda died in 1995. When he was ready to begin traveling again in 1996, Fred invited Carol Peterson to join him on his adventures. Fred never let age or infirmity slow him down as he traveled, by cruise ship and RV, throughout the world. In February 2016, he celebrated his 90th birthday with a huge party attended by the many friends he’d made while conducting aerial surveys, managing property, working for Michael Towbes, and cruising the world. While Fred had no children of his own, he counted among his family Elda’s and Carol’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by Elda (1919-1995), his stepdaughter Vicky (1994-2003) and sonin-law Norman (1944-2001). He is survived by Carol; and her children Brian, Karen, and Gary; and grandchildren Chrystalyn, Toby, Maria, Jaedyn and David.

She loved Santa Barbara very much and would be fortunate to return many times, eventually spending her last years here. She loved dogs and cats and had many faithful pets by her side, and in her travels. She worked for a few years for a Veterinarian in Tucson, and rescued several pets, during those years. Karen loved gardening, learned most of it from her Grandmother, Anne Mellor. She always planted as many plants and varieties as her gardens could support. She painted many flower paintings from what she grew in her own garden. She loved nature, visited Alaska, and most of the Southwest. Karen had an interest in Native American Philosophy and medicine, that inspired painting portraits from turn of the century photographs. She also attended many events and celebrations regarding American Indians. She worked at the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles, Ca., as assistant manager in the gift store, which allowed Karen to continue to work with the American Indian culture.

Asphalt or Landscape?

or 17 of my 22 years as director of the County Parks Department, I was blessed to have my office in Rocky Nook Park. Because my work took me to that wonderful place morning, noon, and night, I came to marvel at the magnificence and extraordinary urban fabric that developed there. The Santa Barbara Mission is the centerpiece, and Rocky Nook Park, the Woman’s Club, and the private residences share this space in perfect harmony. I hardly ever noticed Mission Canyon Road. This extraordinary Santa Barbara urban tapestry will be shattered if the Mission Canyon Improvement Plan proceeds. Widening Mission Canyon Road and moving stone walls will make the road the dominant feature in your vision as you pass through this lovely place. What everyone driving down this lovely road will remember is — the road. The landscape will fade out of their consciousness. How sad! This proposal is a mistake. I urge all Santa Barbara —Michael H. Pahos, S.B. citizens to say — no!

State Street Stinks

North County resident since 1982, I probably just had the last of the many strolls I have taken down State Street. A trip over the hill to Santa Barbara has been a luxury over the decades and always a mostly pleasant one spent walking between Cabrillo and Victoria. Today I witnessed this gorgeous part of the city in very bad need of attention. It’s depressing. The façades of many buildings look tired and dirty, planters along the curb double as receptacles for trash, and large numbers of empty storefronts make it feel as if the tourist industry is on the brink of aesthetically and economically dying. However, the very worst part was the stench of urine in the air. It was particularly

nauseating when mixed with the aromas of food being served at sidewalk restaurants. As I walked, I wondered how bad it might smell in the heat of summer. That may just have to remain a mystery. Good night, State — Catherine Englert, Lompoc Street.

Treasure on the Bluffs

or years Carpinteria has seen investors come and go: investors who see a piece of land as a way to make money, investors who have their idea of how Carpinteria should look, investors who move on and leave us to wonder why we didn’t fight harder to preserve what we hold dear. Now we are witness to an amazing group: ENvestors, as I like to call them, people who appreciate our connection with the ENvironment. They understand our love of the ocean; they realize the vitality of open space; they look at our mountain and ocean views and still marvel at their beauty. These ENvestors have dared to dream and worked to make that dream come true; they value our special community and understand our passion to keep a balance between us and the environment. They have the vision to keep Carpinteria Carpinteria, and their generosity is deeply admired.

Reclaiming the Republican Party Extreme Prejudice and Xenophobia Are Fundamentally Un-American

hese are the times

less regulation, privatization of some public services, higher standards in education, free trade, and reform of public employee pensions. These and related issues provide ample space for political activity and possible majority coalitions. By way of contrast, to advocate the ruthless use of profiling, suspension of civil liberties, and rounding up of imams, and to defend internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, will do nothing but turn most voters off. More importantly, such rhetoric is not merely politically unwise but fundamentally un-American. The essence of America is our civil liberties. Our nation was founded on the idea of inalienable human rights—that all people are equal and there is no natural monarchy or aristocracy in which some have more rights than others. Muslims and imams have as many rights as Protestants and ministers and Catholics and priests. Freedom of religion, indeed, is perhaps the most basic American right. It is the first right listed in the Bill of Rights. The United States cannot move forward with political extremism. Extreme political rhetoric should be opposed whenever it appears. We must not become un-American through our involvement with the world. There’s a reason Donald Trump received fewer than 150 votes in Isla Vista in the June primary (of more than 5,000 votes cast): His views are repugnant, regressive, and reactionary. As long as he is the Republican standard-bearer and his views are expressed by many across the country, the GOP will do nothing but head downward. The Republican Party must be reclaimed for more tolerant views. Lanny Ebenstein is a former member of the Santa Barbara County Republican Central Committee.

that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” These were the words Thomas Paine used to start his work The Crisis, which was highly influential in launching the American Revolution. I feel we may be at a time like this again. As a long-standing Republican, I am dismayed by the comments of some Republican and conservative leaders. At the national level, the continuing and unbelievable degree of prejudice and xenophobia expressed by Donald Trump is unacceptable. At the local level, too, these views are sometimes expressed. My friend Andy Caldwell, the longtime executive director of COLAB (Coalition of Labor, Agriculture & Business), provides a case in point. I like Andy personally, and he and I have worked together on (and occasionally on opposite sides of) many issues over the years. But when he expresses views on national issues, they are often harsh and extreme. Here’s what he wrote recently: “Why don’t we have the fortitude to ruthlessly use profiling and the suspension of civil liberties in an effort to root out terrorist sympathizers and recruits here at home? … We need to round up all the imams and their adherents who are preaching jihad and either deport them or imprison them for sedition and treason” (Santa Barbara News-Press, June 26, 2016). These words are frightening. Especially as someone whose father was Jewish and born before World War II in Austria, I completely oppose any calls that could be interpreted as advocating the wholesale imprisonment or deportation of leaders or members of any religious group. Words matter. They matter a lot. Equally troubling was Andy’s statement that the internment of U.S. citizens of Japanese descent during World War II was justified because “[He has] yet to learn of any other options available to protect the homeland from spies and saboteurs as it related to the war with Japan.” This is completely false. There was not a single documented Japanese-American spy or saboteur in the United States during World War II. In order for the Republican Party and conservatism generally to retain vitality and electability, it must shed these and similar views (Andy, I should note, has no official position with the local party). The Republican Party should be reclaimed for more tolerant and inclusive views that focus on government efficiency, lower taxes for working families,

Faces of the Sea

A Look at Those Who Work Along Santa Barbara’s Oceanfront by

o most of us, the Santa Barbara Harbor is a place to journey through for a gulp of beauty and a salty breeze. But to the eight people interviewed for this collection, whose work and lives are linked to the sea, the harbor is something more. To fishers and charter captains, such as John Hoadley, Paul Teall, and Tiffany Vague, it serves as the grand lobby for their outdoor office, the place where they can catch up with

coworkers and old friends on their way to and from work. To Harbor Operations Manager Mick Kronman and hull-scrubbing business owner Shawn Hughes, it is their office, a tranquil and adventure-filled workplace with plenty to do above and below the surface. To entrepreneurs Norah Eddy and Sarah Rathbone, the harbor has been a place where visions for a new kind of seafood business could be realized. And to marine biologist and

big beige-and-blue banner hangs over Paul Teall’s booth at the Saturday Fish Market. It promises “Teall Family Seafood,” and that’s what customers get when they visit this stretch of pier between 7 and 11 a.m. A large tank to the left holds live red and brown rock crabs, four big tubs in front display fresh fish, and sometimes here and sometimes there are Parker Teall, 21; August “Auggie” Teall, 11; and, of course, their father, Paul Teall, who never strays too far from the booth’s table. The younger Tealls are there to work, though Parker points out, “It’s not really work if you enjoy what you’re doing.” When a customer stops by, Parker jumps to his feet to answer their questions with comfortable politeness. For Paul, having his kids at the market has been more than just a way to spend time with them and get some extra help — it has also played a huge role in their education.“I always pay the kids for working,” he said.“The kids treat their equipment with respect because they had to earn it.” Auggie, ahead of his peers by at least five years, has almost finished paying off his first vehicle — a one-person skiff with a two-horsepower outboard motor and a fitting moniker, the Chumbucket. Learning from a young age to fish, converse with elders, and work hard has also helped Parker chase his fishing dreams. He proudly shares that he was the “first greenhorn that made it” through his entire first season of crab fishing in Alaska.“You’re working as fast as you can … for 18-20 hours every day,” said Parker. And it’s cold — so cold that ice forms on your cap and beard and a bottle of water freezes in 15 minutes. In six months, Parker got one day off. Making a living fishing, even when it’s not Alaskan crab fishing, requires long hours and nights away from home. Paul often starts at 2 or 3 a.m. and is gone ’til dark, or he stays out fishing for days at a time. But even when fishing takes him far from home, Parker says it’s the time apart that helps him see what he cares about.“When I come back, I ask,‘What did I miss?’ And it really puts things in perspective,” he said.“What you really miss is people.”

FishSB Director Kim Selkoe, the harbor is an underutilized marketplace for homegrown seafood with huge potential for enhancing the economy and self-sufficiency of Santa Barbara. Though their stories are as different as their harbor views, one common thread connects all eight lives: a visceral, diligent, passionate love for the sea. See independent.com/sea for an extended version of these profiles.

Tiffany Vague: HOOk, Line & Sinker CAPTAin TALkS SHOP

he Hook, Line & Sinker bait and tackle shop presents a fierce, guarded exterior. There’s a big, black dog at the entrance and rows of guns on display next door. But inside the shop, the fierceness is overwhelmed by a sense of family warmth and undercut by the presence of a lot of glitter, which serves a very real purpose when it comes to fish bait: Fish are attracted to sparkly things. Captain Tiffany Vague manages Hook, Line & Sinker for her father, Captain David Bacon, who also owns the gun store next door and a private charter business, WaveWalker Charters. She is exceedingly well qualified to run the family businesses, having handled a fishing rod since she was about 6 months old.“If my dad was the one carrying me, I would have been born on a boat,” Vague jokes.“When I was 14, I was grounded for life. I became his deckhand, and he’d call me his first mate. I’m still grounded.” Talking to Captain Vague is much like talking to any expert — she opens a door to another world with another language and, in the case of the fishing world, a whole lot of fun toys. The Lingslayer, for example, is her weapon of choice for catching lingcod. Invented by her father in the ’70s, it has three key elements that make it irresistible to the fish: a kazoo-like piece of metal with a scarred surface that reflects light like a disco ball, a red and glittered rubber tail that wiggles and jiggles artfully, and a metal clasp that bangs clamorously against the other metal part and brings out the territorial lingcod with a vengeance. Vague also believes strongly in “sustainable fishing”— the term she uses for only catching what you can eat — and there are certain fish Vague won’t touch, even if they’re legal and available. “I don’t take calico rockfish unless they’re injured,” she said of the slowgrowing species, which take seven years to reach reproductive age. Two hours into the interview, the big, black dog enters the store, tail wagging, eyes pleading for a pet, and it becomes apparent that the only thing fierce and guarded in the store is Captain Vague’s love for fishing. Her heart is in it — hook, line, and sinker.

o Sarah rathbone, cofounder of Dock to Dish L.A., the back kitchens of top dining establishments and fishing docks feel remarkably similar. Both are peopled by “diligent, innovative, creative, hardworking individuals who love fish,” said Rathbone. And both appreciate the red-gilled, clear-eyed, landed-less-than-24-hours-ago specimens that Rathbone delivers each Wednesday to some of L.A.’s hottest eateries. Based in part on her past experience as cofounder of Community Seafood of Santa Barbara, Rathbone is relying on chefs’ passion for fresh seafood and culinary creativity to expand Dock to Dish’s Restaurant Supported Fishery (RSF) program on the West Coast. Originally envisioned by Dock to Dish founder and leader Sean Barrett and successfully operating on the New York restaurant scene since 2013, the RSF program offers chefs a subscription service that delivers hundreds of pounds of super fresh, locally caught, sustainable seafood to their kitchen each week.

ThermiTight RF Real Results in One Treatment

There’s one important catch to the Dock to Dish RSF that makes it unique among seafood sourcing programs: Chefs receive whatever local fishermen pull in. That means a given week’s delivery could consist entirely of familiar staples, such as white sea bass, rockfish, or yellowfin tuna. But it could also include a longnosed skate and several pounds of wavy turban snail. When unexpected sea fare arrives, chefs need to quickly invent dishes that can delight palates unacquainted with these types of seafood. “It’s new for them, and it’s a challenge,” said Rathbone, who believes that winning the support of famed chefs for RSF can help start a much bigger transformation in how seafood is sourced and what Americans eat. “Getting these top chefs on board is great because they are the industry leaders. What they say is the trend,” Rathbone explains. She compares Dock to Dish’s strategic vision with avant-garde fashion. “You start your ideas at the top, and eventually, they make it into Walmart.”

SHawn HugHeS: HuLL CLeAner BuiLding BuSineSS FrOm ‘BOTTOm uP’

hawn Hughes has spent many hours staring at the side of boats most of us never see — their bottoms. As owner of Scrub a Dub Dive Service, it’s his job to see the grit, barnacles, algal slime, and occasional octopus that settle on a boat’s hull and then scrub them away. A clean hull is as necessary a part of owning a boat as an oil change for owning a car. A mucky hull causes a boat to drag in the water and use more fuel, and it makes it harder to maneuver. Most boats sport a coat of antifouling paint on their hulls to discourage life from flourishing, but this substance only slows down, rather than stops, growth. Even with a painted hull, boats sitting in the Santa Barbara Harbor need to be wiped clean about once a month. Hughes does it all the old-fashioned way — by hand with a cleaning pad or brush — because it both minimizes paint removal and limits the release of the paint’s toxic copper base into the water. Hughes particularly enjoys working on racing boats, perhaps because the best compliment he ever received was, “Thank you, Shawn, for clean-

ing my bottom. That’s why I won.” But usually his work goes undetected. The Goleta native, who’s been hanging around the harbor since before he could walk, now has more customers than he can handle and even hired his younger brothers. Things are looking good for this almost28-year-old entrepreneur, proving that a bottom-up approach to business really works—at least for professional hull cleaners.

OUR BIGGEST

GIVEAWAY

imberly Selkoe, cofounder of the Santa Barbara Sustainable Seafood Program and Community Seafood and now founding director of FishSB, used to hate the very thought of eating a fish. But she loved the sea. At the age of 13, she paid her own way through scuba training, which took place in a pond in the dead of a Bostonian winter, and dreamed of becoming a scientific diver at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, until she was told they didn’t hire women. Instead, she joined a lab studying lobster behavior and then attended UCSB to pursue a PhD in marine biology. She focused on Baja California kelp bass, which required considerable time on boats with Baja fishermen collecting fish DNA — and eating fish. “If I didn’t eat the seafood, they wouldn’t trust me,” said Selkoe, who learned that fresh fish is delicious. While wrapping up her dissertation, she took a trip to Charleston, South Carolina, where she noticed stickers in a restaurant that said, “We’re part of the sustainable seafood initiative.” She decided to launch one in Santa Barbara, but it fell on deaf ears. “No one cared about fisheries then,” Selkoe explained. She fought on, gaining a collaborator in UCSB student Amanda Hendrickson and a sponsor, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History’s Sea Center. The Santa Barbara Sustainable Seafood Program was launched, but it was a challenge.“We had a couple of restaurants signed up, but had a hard time advising them,” said Selkoe, who relied on the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch’s stoplight rating system. Fisheries rated green are definitely sustainable, fisheries rated red are definitely not, and everything else falls in a murky yellow category that, 10 years ago, was often code for “we have no idea.” There were far too many fisheries in the yellow category and too few in the green for Selkoe to help restaurateurs make sustainable decisions in all their seafood selections. The country woke up to seafood sustainability after An Inconvenient Truth hit national theaters in 2006. Chefs started telling Selkoe, “So happy you’re here,” fisheries started generating information on sustainability, and distributors started keeping better track of where seafood came from and how it was caught. Santa Barbara’s fishing community also embraced sustainability early on and remains one of the most highly managed and innovative fishing communities in the world. While Santa Barbara’s fine-dining establishments often tout their local seafood, few Santa Barbarans eat local seafood at home. “You could easily feed the world population on farmed mussels, but there’s no interest,” said Selkoe. As the first director of FishSB, a joint initiative of the Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Fishermen of Santa Barbara that was launched in May, Selkoe will be working to rustle up more interest in local seafood. She hopes that her efforts will help consumers overcome their hesitation about seafood — just as she overcame hers — and get hooked on the gustatory hallelujah of a fresh fish.

“n

o one who has ever done anything great has had it easy,” observes Norah Eddy, cofounder and chief marketing officer of Salty Girl Seafood (saltygirlseafood.com). She and cofounder Laura Johnson’s great vision three years ago was to create a seafood company that would motivate consumers and fishermen to embrace seafood sustainability on a global scale. “There was so much potential that it seemed a waste not to pursue it,” said Eddy, who made Salty Girl Seafood (SGS) their master’s thesis at UCSB’s Bren School. From the beginning, Salty Girl Seafood’s approach has been “to find the best people and elevate the company that way,” said Eddy. “It helped that we started as students. It helped being the outlier — the non-tech, female-run seafood company. And it helps that we are very approachable and very coachable,” Eddy claims. But anyone who’s ever met Eddy, Johnson, or chief information officer Gina Auriemma will tell you that help came to these fledgling entrepreneurs for good reason. Eddy oozes fiery charisma and is a quintessential salty girl with a big sense of humor. Johnson tempers Eddy’s spicy with Chicago sweet and the quiet calm of a glassy sea. Auriemma grounds the group with an earthy, easygoing aura that makes you want to grab a drink, sit down for hours, and become best friends. All three have an incredible work ethic, strong personalities, and passionate souls and possess the entrepreneur spirit in bucket loads. Two years after defining what they wanted to do, Salty Girl Seafood is on the verge of doing it. Their three sustainable, traceable, simple-to-prepare seafood products — Coho Salmon with Lemon Pepper & Garlic, Black Cod with Sweet & Smoky Teriyaki, and Pacific Rockfish with Garlic Fresh Veggies — can now be found in the frozen food aisles of major retailers, such as Bristol Farms and Whole Foods. “We’re getting to this point where we can buy more and more fish and have more buying power,” said Eddy, though true success is still a few years out, and the company is entering another round of fundraising to fuel future growth. Until then, the team is just “focusing on the now,” said Auriemma. As Eddy puts it,“Once you birth this thing, it is all-consuming — good and bad.”

he view from Mick Kronman’s waterfront office is stunning. Boat masts jut into the sky, and a sea of liquid silver stretches into the distance as far as the eye can see. For Kronman, however, a full view of the harbor is not just a nice perk — it’s an essential part of his job. Kronman is the harbor operations manager for Santa Barbara, a role that has traditionally been dedicated to overseeing the Harbor Patrol (HP). This explains Kronman’s windowed perch, which allows him to keep an eye on the harbor and surrounding coast. Halfway through the interview, he notices a brownish-hued cloud and grabs a pair of binoculars to check for fire. Fire is a serious concern for the harbor. “Saltwater and electricity don’t mix,” said Kronman. But there are other emergencies, too, like the time in 2012 that a 1,200-pound Arabian stallion nicknamed William ditched his photo shoot on the beach to go swimming. The HP rigged a support harness to his saddle and kept his head above water with a rescue buoy. The occasional exciting rescue aside, much of a harbor operations manager’s daily work is to manage long-term harbor parking spots for boats. Because demand exceeds supply, there exists a complex system of waiting lists, lotteries, and allotments to meet demand and also reflect the harbor’s commitment to supporting a working waterfront. The role of harbor operations manager has evolved under Kronman, who spends most of his time implementing policies and coordinating programs that create a safe, clean, and vibrant harbor community. He coordinates both the annual Parade of Lights, a holiday-time procession of light-draped boats along the waterfront, and the Clean Marinas Program, which reduces trash and pollution. Kronman credits John Bridley, the former waterfront director, for having “that vision for changing the waterfront world.” Kronman has done a lot in his 16 years as harbor operations manager to realize Bridley’s vision. One of the things that Kronman is most proud of is helping to design the Lost at Sea Memorial. Memorials are “such projects of the heart,” Kronman said. The memorial’s two whale’s-tail benches are visible from his office and serve as an eloquent testament to his work: offering safety and community with compassion and grace.

ven after a childhood soaked in sea salt and six years of work as a commercial urchin diver, John Hoadley still considers himself a newbie fisherman with a lot to learn. Fortunately, learning is an unavoidable part of the job, a natural consequence of the uncertainty tangled in the very meaning of fishing. “Sometimes you get them; sometimes you fail,” he quips. “That’s why it’s called fishing and not catching.” Many days it’s too dangerous for Hoadley to get on the water and try his luck.“The weather, she’s the boss,” Hoadley said laughingly, but also in earnest. His boss can be generous, supplying weeks of glassy waters and light wind, or exceedingly stingy, offering only one or two fishing days to get him through an entire month. But it is clear that Hoadley loves his mercurial chief. While recounting the “crappy” conditions of his first day with an urchin diving crew — there was “a 10-foot swell, and wind at 25 knots”—Hoadley’s clear blue eyes light up, and a smile sunrises across his face. “I was in love instantly.” If the weather is Hoadley’s formidable, but inspirational, boss, then the climate is his boss’s boss, and her appearance in the office means bad news. The red sea urchin Hoadley handpicks for a living is part of a complicated and dynamic ecosystem sensitive to changes in climate. Macrocystis, or giant kelp, is the preferred dish of the red sea urchin and dies off in the warmer waters brought by El Niño and other climate anomalies. The urchins respond to their reduced food portions by atrophying their biomass, including their gonads, which are the salable bits of the urchin and what you eat when you order uni. Unfortunately, shriveled urchin gonads are about as popular as you would imagine and provide no profits to fishermen.

But uncertainty has mostly worked in Hoadley’s favor. At the time of the BP oil spill in 2010, Hoadley worked as an underwater construction diver for oil rigs, but jobs dried up. A college classmate was the son of an urchin diver and introduced Hoadley to the profession. Hoadley worked for three years as a tender, the person who tends the “hookah” hoses. Many would-be urchin divers never make it out of their tender phase because California only has 300 active sea urchin diving permits total. Hoadley had luck on his side: He won the lottery. At 32 years old, Hoadley belongs to a younger generation of fisher, born into a highly managed fishery and the dual role fishers now play as resource users and stewards of the marine environment. Hoadley sees other opportunities to improve the fishery, as well. While the cost of living in Santa Barbara has skyrocketed in the past 20 years, the price processors pay fishermen for product has remained steady at about $2 an urchin. He’s hopeful that expanding direct sales to regional consumers and restaurants, as modeled by other urchin divers such as Stephanie Mutz and Harry Liquornik, can improve prices. In the past year, Hoadley has embraced a new kind of uncertainty: politics. As an alternate for the Sea Urchin Commission as well as the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council, Hoadley is learning about the decision-making processes that shape his profession. It is important, he feels, to have a younger voice in the discussion because, for all the uncertainties of urchin diving, there’s no uncertainty in how he feels about his work. “I just want a chance to do this as my career,” he said. “I’m after this fishery lasting.” h

Rescue Mission’s Happy FouRtH For the ninth year in a row, the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission transformed its parking lot into a Fourth of July carnival, where about 300 homeless people and residents at the Rescue Mission enjoyed barbecue, games, a raffle, and even a pie-throwing contest (above). Thanks to the support of the Women’s Auxiliary, the raffle gave away more than 100 useful items, such as bike helmets, clothing, backpacks, and a bike lock (right), which was a particularly hot-ticket item. After an initial amount of raffle tickets at the gate, participants could play carnival games to win more tickets.

FUN WITH FIRE: Glass artist Seth Brayer melds his fiery craft with wine bottles (below) this weekend at Carr Winery.

FoRRest leicHtbeRg’s ConsCiousness network j

s a 17-year-old debilitated by a rare, benign, but metabolically active parathyroid tumor, Forrest Leichtberg could not have imagined that four years later he’d be on the path to inspiring the Santa Barbara community. Now 22, Leichtberg not only survived, but he’s also giving back to the world that gave him a second chance by curating events with his company, the Santa Barbara Consciousness Network. “I was totally broken and despondent,” he explained. “I was in crippling pain throughout my body because of a tiny tumor.” To fight the illness, Leichtberg researched the personal-development field and connected with unorthodox healers, spiritualists, and nutritional advisors with whom he was able to defeat his illness and find his purpose. Upon beating the tumor, he felt a burning desire to share his newfound knowledge with the community. So he founded the Santa Barbara Consciousness Network, which now holds monthly events that feature talks by transformational leaders, live music, and what amounts to a trade show of sorts for conscious-minded entrepreneurs, yogis, massage therapists, tarot card readers, and Reiki healers. Said Leichtberg, “I’m just happy to have a place that helps people share their knowledge, power, and growth potential for the betterment of humanity.”

The next gathering is on Friday, July 8, 7-10 p.m., at Unity of Santa Barbara (227 E. Arrellaga St.). The guest speaker is Christine Lang, a renowned medical intuitive and author of The Body Whisperer: Your Symptoms Tell Me Your Truth.

Inspiration

his Saturday, Carr Winery will come alive with the sizzling sight of wine bottles bent into entirely new and beautiful shapes when Santa Barbara glass artist Seth Brayer debuts PyroCycled, an exhibit of elegantly and intricately designed pieces and light fixtures that he’s formed from recycled wine bottles. The event runs 6-9 p.m., and at 7:30 p.m., Brayer will show how he distorts the bottles into one-of-a-kind, kelp-like coils and spindles during a live demo. Drawn to turning discarded objects into entirely new things, Brayer has a technique that was inspired by Kitty City, the cat enclosure he built at his home out of recycled cardboard. “Through the power of the furnace and the heat of the fire, it gives me the opportunity to kind of free them from their constrained shape and turn them into something they were never intended to be,” he said, explaining that the familiarity of wine bottles add to the potency of the art. “Everybody on the planet has held [one] in the hand and touched to their lips, and that’s a very intimate connection with a body of work.” Brayer chose Carr bottles specifically for their labels printed with high-temp ceramic paint, which can be stretched into two-foot-long organic patterns with the help of a furnace inferno. Vintner Ryan Carr will also try his hand at reshaping bottles during the demo. Brayer also works with Telegraph Brewing bottles, distinctively shaped and thick from their making in Belgium. So whether you enjoy your bottle as a vessel for your vines or as a repurposed décor, Brayer’s demonstration and exhibition will show you a whole new way of seeing wine bottles. — Richie DeMaria

Marine Sciences

WE’RE ON A BOAT: The seas off Santa Barbara will be explored by Bob Ballard’s E/V Nautilus (above) this summer, whose lead video engineer, Alan Santos (below), and submersible pilot, Gregg Diffendale (bottom), will feed live streams of science to all via the Internet.

all aboaRd the e/V e nautilus autilus !

he 211-foot ship sitting off of the Santa Barbara shoreline last weekend wasn’t just the yacht of another Russian billionaire. It was the Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus, the education and research vessel launched in 2009 by legendary ocean explorer and UCSB alum Bob Ballard, who’s used his fame as the discoverer of the Titanic to turn millions of kids around the world onto the intrigue and importance of marine science. This summer, after past missions in the Gulf of Mexico and Mediterranean, Aegean, Black, and Caribbean seas, the Nautilus is exploring the Pacific Coast of North America, traveling from Canada in May down into Central and Southern California through July and August, including nearly a month around the Channel Islands. All day every day, anyone can watch the research in action via the vessel’s often quite exciting live feed at nautiluslive.org and even engage with scientists as they do their work. Two Santa Barbarans will join the mission this summer, as well: Eric Lindheim-Marx, a soon-to-be 17-year-old competitive swimmer going into his senior year at Dos Pueblos High, where he is part of the Engineering Academy; and Katelyn Standerfer, a chemistry teacher and soccer coach at San Marcos High who studied aquatic biology and got her master’s in education at UCSB. After a three-week course at the University of Rhode Island, where Ballard is based, Lindheim-Marx will be onboard August 7-14, working as a data logger for the team. “I’ve been in love with the ocean since I was really young, and the Engineering Academy has added to my interest because it shows how technology affects all aspects of life,” said Lindheim-Marx. “I’m also interested in doing this trip because it will help me decide whether I want to go into a career of oceanography and marine science, or if I want to go a different route.” One of 30 teachers chosen nationwide from a pool of about 300, Standerfer will be on board for three

weeks starting July 13, when the researchers are studying the effects of ocean acidification on the deep-sea cold-water corals. She’ll be manning the live feed, answering questions sent through the website, and translating the science into language that kids can understand. “I’m looking forward to taking what I’m doing on the ship back into the classroom — showing that ocean acidification is real and here is the data we gathered— and making that live connection for my gathered students,” she said. The kick-off event for the UCSB Marine Science Institute’s Summer of Ocean Exploration is the free Bob Ballard & Friends event at the Lobero Theatre on Wednesday, July 13, at 7 p.m. See msi.ucsb.edu for more details, and follow the mission every day at nautiluslive.org. org org. — Matt Kettmann

ven though I was raised on a cattle ranch, I always thought about carnival rides and deep-fried food when anyone mentioned the county fair. Then I met Austin Campbell, my now husband, who asked me to the Santa Barbara County Fair when we first started dating. “How quaint,” I thought to myself, and, sure enough, as we arrived, I spotted the Ferris wheel and caught some telltale whiffs of funnel cake. But that all quickly disappeared when Austin made a sharp turn into a big barn. As my eyes adjusted from bright summer sun to dim dusty barn, I quickly realized that this was the real fair. In the barn arena, there were children dressed in white, sporting either blue jackets — I learned they’re with Future Farmers of America ((ffa.org ffa.org) — or bright green neck scarves with matching hats ffa.org) if they were with 4-H, which, I also learned, stands for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health (4-H.org). 4-H.org). The county fair is the most exciting 4-H.org time of the year for all of these kids who’ve worked for months raising, showing, and marketing their animals. For this year’s fair, my neighbors and longtime farmers, the Pata family, are sending three dedicated Lompoc Valley Chapter 4-H members to the show: Anna, 14 years old; Adam, 11; and Claire, 8. Anna and Adam will both be showing pigs at the fair, while Claire, who is still too young to sell animals, is entering her duck named Ducky Mo Mo. To get involved, the first step is joining your area’s chapter of Future Farmers of America (FFA) or 4-H, signing up for your animal of your choice, and then buying your animal. “Our first year, we got a loan from our dad,” explained Anna, to which Claire added, “And Mom made sure they paid him back!” Next is raising the animal to market weight, and then it’s fair time. Raising an animal is a huge commitment, but that’s the point: teaching children, through agriculture, to understand the importance of hard work and dedication. Both FFA and 4-H also offer year-round programs, as well, including leadership classes, youth mentoring, and school enrichment. It also teaches kids that hard work pays off, too.“My favorite part is getting paid,” said Adam with a boyish grin, explaining that last year he bought a surfboard with some of his 4-H savings. If that doesn’t show dedication, I’m not sure what does. — Elizabeth Poett The Santa Barbara County Fair runs Wednesday-Sunday, July 13-17, in Santa Maria.

HOPEFULS HURRY UP: Ashton Eaton (left) trained at Westmont College earlier this year in his quest to make history as a two-time Olympic decathlon champion. Thomas FitzSimons Jr. (right), who finished 14th in his first Olympic Trials decathlon, set a record for high-fives in a minute (339) earlier this year.

Track & fielders Follow the olympic Tack Santa Barbarans Aiming for Rio by heading to oregon First T

hey sat in the shade of the grandstand and watched the events of their past lives unfold like a familiar old play on a sunlit stage. They were following the decathlon competition at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials. They still had a fervor for the sport that they practiced assiduously in the 1970s and ’80s at UCSB under the guidance of coach Sam Adams. That shared passion brought more than a dozen of them together at Oregon’s Hayward Field last weekend. “It was real,” Tony Allen said of the old days. After graduating from college in Indiana, he came to Santa Barbara and finished fifth in the 1980 U.S. decathlon championships. Allen, director of a youth sports center in San Diego, chartered a bus to take a contingent of his fellow athletes to Oregon. In Santa Barbara, the bus picked up decathletes Ron Wopat and Ed Brown, heptathlete Joan Russell Price, and Sarah Sweeney. None of them ever competed in the Games. “In my mind, I thought I could make it to the Olympics,” said Tom Harris, who holds the UCSB decathlon record and placed sixth in the 1984 Olympic Trials.“I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t think so. But now I look back, and the work ethic we had, being first on the track and last to leave — that applies to the rest of your life.” They became professionals in different fields. Harris was a sound editor for such television shows as ER and The West Wing and collected five Emmys. But during their athletic careers, they had to scrape to support themselves. Multievent athletes are consigned to labor in a wasteland as far as lucrative sponsorships go. Brown told the story of John Sayre, the 1985 U.S. decathlon champion: “He drove from Illinois to the nationals [in Indianapolis] and slept in his truck in the parking lot the night before the meet. That’s low-key.” Brown asked his fellow decathletes the question, “If you had to do it all over again…?” Wopat said, “I would play baseball. A Santa Barbara High pitcher [Kevin Gowdy] just signed for three and a half million.” But then Wopat, a teacher, would not be enjoying an 18-hour bus ride to watch a track meet. With the nationwide decline of interest in track-and-field — you wouldn’t know it in Eugene, which has assumed the name “Tracktown”— even Ashton Eaton, the defending Olympic champion and producer of the two highest decath-

Green Table GoeS exTra Mile

reen Table, the 100 percent gluten-free, veggie-based, regionally sourced, and almost entirely organic restaurant, is a light and bright vegetarian haven on West De la Guerra Street. Formerly home to Boochies, the café reopened this past February with a new name, new ownership, and an expanded menu, featuring a healthy spin on classic dishes. “A lot of people think eating healthy isn’t necessarily tasty,” said Alexandra Zarnescu, who now owns the restaurant with her husband, George. “We’re trying to make it as tasty as possible.” Green Table’s flavorful superfood menu should delight people of all dietary preferences, thanks to dishes like the mac and cheese. It’s rich and decadent, as you’d expect, but a complete reinvention, using quinoa pasta, shredded cauliflower, and spinach baked in a goat gouda, coconut milk, tamari, and Himalayan pink sea salt sauce.“Since we opened, we challenged our chef from Europe to add more comfort food items,” said Zarnescu, who also suggests their lasagna, made with almond flour, veggies, and more goat gouda. The team also pushes attention to detail to a new level. The house-made almond milk, for instance, is created from raw almonds soaked each night and blended each morning into the elixir that provides an unbelievingly creamy and nutritious base for their matcha drinks. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s so worth it, because the taste is totally different than if you’re making it with store-bought almond milk,”said Zarnescu. On the beverage side, Green Table claims to offer the largest selection of matcha tea blends in California. I’d never tried the tea before but was blown away by their smooth salted-caramel ice-blended matcha, which includes dates and Himalayan salt in the recipe. The experience was made sweeter when I learned of the stone-ground green tea leaves’ many health benefits, including high levels of antioxidants and a slower, smoother release of caf caffeine for a more sustained buzz. There’s also a new breakfast menu featuring a selection of savory quiche and other classics.“Our pastry crust is made with almond flour and eggs, and that almondy flavor combined with the creamy spinach filling or avocado fillings makes them nutritional, healthy, and special,”she said. On the dessert front, Zarnescu recommends the flourless choco-chia cupcake, which consists of a fudgy mix of raw cacao, chia seeds, almonds, egg, coconut sugar, vanilla bean, cacao nibs, arrowroot, coconut, and spices. “Like many other people, I crave for chocolate, and this is my way of eating a healthy chocolate dessert,” Zarnescu said. “Chia seeds provide omega-3s, protein, calcium, and fiber, so that makes it the perfect after-workout snack — Rebecca Horrigan also, not just a dessert.” Green Table is located at 113 West de la Guerra Street.

NIMITA’S POP-DOWN: Reader Annie drove

past Nimita’s Cuisine at 508 East Haley Street, which opened in February in the former home of Muddy Waters, and saw that it is now empty. I asked Nimita about this, and here is her response: “I have been flooded with calls on a daily basis regarding our pop-up at 508 East Haley. A lot of our community members are wondering why we closed. The Bike Coalition (the landlords of this venue) had offered us a three-month pop-up situation for us to open a restaurant with the option to extend the lease, once we had upgraded the place after Muddy Waters closed. Even though it was a great opportunity to sample our offerings to the community from a brick-and-mortar venue, it became very challenging for us to offer food at a venue with no kitchen. “Nevertheless, we are very pleased to see how positively the community responded to our offerings as well as to all the different events that took place during our time there. Unfortunately, our community is new to the notion of pop-up restaurants, and it is misleading some to think that our business failed or that we are not operating. Quite the contrary, we continue offering our delivery services as well as our catering services. We will continue to have booths at our local festivals, and we are looking for a more adequate venue, with a full kitchen to base ourselves from. Warm Wishes, Nimita.”

Casa Dorinda Pinot Noir: Unless you are one of the privileged senior citizens who live in Casa Dorinda, or friends with any one of the cool, wise cats behind Los Cinco Locos Winery, then you’ll have to take my word for it: The pinot noir that the Locos made for this tony retirement complex in Montecito is top-notch, on par with the many dozens of pinots I regularly taste every month from up and down the Central Coast. After sneaking it into one of my usual blind tastings, I smelled plump blackberry, graphite, and uncrushed peppercorns, and then enjoyed the velvety mouthfeel that carried swarthy mulberry fruit, minty tarragon, and savory chicory notes. I scored it a 92. I didn’t try the cabernet sauvignon, but the syrah was solid, too (89-90 points), with aromas of roast pork, ginger, and orange rind and flavors of pepper and lavender. Adding to the fun, the labels were done by Casa Dorinda residents Barbara Hume, Lucille Mayer, and Polly Griscom. — Matt Kettmann

Puffy JAckets and Pitchforks patagonia Joins Food revolution with new Film Unbroken Ground

l i f e page 55

t the start of Unbroken Ground, a new film from Patagonia, the nasal drawl of the company’s beloved founding father Yvon Chouinard cuts with familiar bite and grandfatherly wisdom, but on a topic not widely known to be his bailiwick. “If you want to feed your family healthy food, you have to ask a lot of questions,” he said, and just like that, the Ventura-based titan of the outdoor adventure industry entered the food business. Cinematically delicious and lush with a special type of romanticized authenticity, Unbroken Ground is technically a short documentary by Gaviota filmmaker and Patagonia coconspirator Chris Malloy about conscious agriculture and some of the people currently involved at the forefront of these efforts around the country. The son of a rancher turned pro surfer turned filmmaker (with a serious back-tothe-land bent), Malloy brings an appreciation to the topic that celebrates just as much as it educates. “I spent all of last summer in full immersion with some of my heroes,” explained Malloy recently when talking story about the making of Unbroken Ground, “It was an incredible experience for me, finding these farmers and fishermen and ranchers who have a real vision for the future.” As the movie makes its way from the Great Plains of South Dakota to the roiling waters off Lummi Island in the Pacific

Northwest to the wheat fields of Washington State University’s Bread Lab, a picture emerges of an agricultural underground, one where visionaries such as Wes Jackson of the Land Institute are bucking the one-size-fits-all monochromatic view of mainstream ag and working tirelessly for a cleaner, healthier, and markedly more sustainable food future. It’s called “regenerative

agriculture,” and by the end of Unbroken Ground, you will know it intimately, and you will want to support it—and, well, I reckon that is the point. But none of this fully explains, as Malloy put it, why “after 40 years of selling jackets, [is] Patagonia suddenly into food?” The quick answer is: Chouinard is a foodie. The more accurate answer is: Chouinard is Chouinard, and it was only a matter of time until his big-picture, Earth-minded

sensibilities came home to roost in the agriculture world. This is a man who nearly lost his company over two decades ago when he bucked the outdoor-industry trend, flipped off his bean counters, and made the values-based decision to use only organic cotton for his products. He was prioritizing the health of the planet over profits with that move, and now, decades later, the entire garment industry has begun to shift — organic cotton is sold at Walmart, and grossly denuded soil around the world is thankful for it.“When you understand this, then you begin to understand that Patagonia has already been involved in agriculture for over 20 years,” said Malloy. Now, with their modest Patagonia Provisions food line (think smoked salmon, soup and stew mixes, buffalo jerky), Chouinard and company are in the first stages of trying to effect a similar shift within the food industry. There is no doubt that Patagonia has risen to great heights in the outdoor retail world with a strategic rallying call against the “faster and cheaper” mind-set of our culture. But will this work with food, an area even more sick with the plague of modern times? Unbroken Ground is where the answer begins. — Ethan Stewart

A Touch of oa oaT aTes

Making friends for life may not be the primary goal of theater artists, but it certainly qualifies as one of the stage’s most exquisite perks. When UCSB Professor Risa Brainin directed Tone Clusters, an experimental play by the distinguished author Joyce Carol Oates, at the Guthrie Theater back in 1995, she wasn’t necessarily thinking that their connection would be renewed more than 20 years later. But that’s exactly what’s happening this Thursday, July 7, when Oates will be at UCSB’s Art, Design & Architecture Museum along with Brainin, fellow director Irwin Appel, and a cast of students and one alum of the school’s BFA program in acting for a one-night-only reading of the new play Bad Touch. How did this happen? Let’s hear Brainin explain it: “After we finished the run of Tone Clusters at the Guthrie, the play stayed with me, and I began reading as much of Joyce’s work as I could. I also started using Tone Clusters in my directing

classes because it was a great script for students to learn on and presented a lot of interesting challenges for them,” she said. “When I was thinking about who I would like to work with next season in Launch Pad, our new play development program, my mind went back to a novel by Joyce Carol Oates that I thought would make a great play. I emailed her, reminded her of who I was and what we had done together 21 years ago, and suggested that she consider coming here to work on the adaptation I had in mind.” So what happened next? “She responded to my message within the hour, and although she wasn’t interested in adapting the novel I had suggested, she told me that she did have a new play that was ready to be given a reading. That was Bad Touch, and now she is here to observe the rehearsals and we are doing it!” Brainin said. — Charles Donelan

Bad Touch will be presented free to the public at the UCSB AD&A Museum at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 7. For more information, visit theaterdance.ucsb.edu.

Music at the Ranch

Area 51 It’s no secret where Area 51 will be July 26. The popular Santa Barbara cover band is scheduled to play its ninth year in a row at the Goleta Valley Historical Society’s (GVHS) outdoor concert series, Music at the Ranch. “It’s one of the funnest gigs I play all year,” said Area 51 lead singer Michael Andrews of the family-friendly event that hits all the right notes. The series, which runs on Tuesday evenings July 12-August 16, came about as a way to entice visitors to the beautiful Stow House grounds during the weekdays, when attendance was typically light. “The Music at the Ranch started out as a four-week series and was designed to bring people to our historic gathering place on the off days,” explained Dacia Harwood, events coordinator for GVHS, of the series beginning. “Now 1,0002,000 people turn out for each concert, and it runs for six weeks. This year is an especially gratifying year for the GVHS, too, since we’re celebrating the organization’s 50-year anniversary.” Since its inception, the community has been an integral part of the series, said Harwood. “Our benefactors, bands, and volunteers have helped build a tradition, a charming tradition. Neighboring families walk or bike to the park, and there’s a real sense of community. Last year someone even brought a bubble machine for the kids, and someone else brought Hula-Hoops.” In addition to Area 51, five other bands will be taking the stage throughout the series’ run: The Nombres (July 12), King Bee (July 19), Mescal Martini (Aug. 2), Ventucky String Band (Aug. 9), and Tony Ybarra (Aug. 16). Bringing a picnic is encouraged, although there will be rotating food trucks on-site each Tuesday, including Shrimp vs. Chef (July 12), Georgia’s Smokehouse (July 26), Heat Culinary (Aug. 2 and 9), and Mony’s Tacos (Aug. 16), and beer and wine for sale, too. Bring blankets, low-backed chairs, and your dancing shoes to the festivities that, as past concertgoer Dawn Nelson noted, “are guaranteed to leave you clapping for more.” For more information, see goletahistory.org. —Karen Robiscoe

Pairing the gorgeous, idiosyncratic, and relatively little-known Two Rhapsodies for Oboe, Viola, and Piano of Charles Martin Loeffler with the West Coast premiere of Matthew Aucoin’s chamber opera Second Nature may have done little to reassure those expecting more familiar works by better known composers, but the combination was a splendid success. Loeffler’s Rhapsodies are based on a pair of lyrics by the French symbolist poet Maurice Rollinat. As recited by pianist Warren Jones in a firm declarative voice, they make a distinctly fin de siècle impression of decadence and moral inversion. For example, “The Pond,” the poem on which the first of the two pieces is based, is a meditation on the ecosystem of a body of water dominated by “ancient blinded fish” and “dying frogs.” Jones, Cynthia Koledo DeAlmeida (oboe), and Cynthia Phelps (viola) brought a sinuous grace and power to the many quicksilver changes of mood in this dazzling display of compositional prowess. The second rhapsody, based on Rollinat’s poem “The Bagpipe,” portrayed a pitched battle between the composition’s two themes, one a beautiful FORBIDDEN FRUIT: Allan Chan (left) and Alexandra Smither consider their options as bonobo Ben Lowe looks on in Matthew Aucoin’s opera Second Nature. and fully developed theme, and the other an insistently demonic voice meant to represent the unstoppable lin) claims complete control over whatever happens spirit of a dead bagpiper.

GoinG with the Flow FLUID COMPOSITIONS: When I asked improvisatory jazz drummer Vijay Anderson about any unconquered musical frontiers, he quoted the great Ornette Coleman. “Music is not a style; it is an idea, and there are as many ideas in the world as there are stars in the universe, and they are all in your head,” he said. Anderson added: “With that in mind, I think the possibilities are endless.” When he and music partner Hafez ModirzaFLOWING LIKE THE WIND: Hafez Modirzadeh’s deh play The Piano music, with its cross-genre fluidity, has been described as a “radical cultural exchange” by the Kitchen (430 Rose Ave.) New York Times. on Sunday, July 10, at 7 p.m., expect endless and unexpected possibilities as the drum-saxophone duo engages in freely fluid musical dialogue. The two have gained acclaim in jazz circles for their boldly inventive and completely unbounded musical discourse, which touches on traditions of global jazz motifs in untraditional ways. The two are noted figures in Bay Area jazz, which, though lacking in the deep history of New York or Chicago, nevertheless enjoys an eclectic, intergenerational exchange between creative musicians pushing the genre forward in new ways, says Anderson. As a freelance drummer, he has built a reputation for original and dynamic rhythms, while Modirzadeh is both an acclaimed innovator and researcher, currently holding a professorship in creative music studies at San Francisco State University (SFSU). The two met when Anderson was a student of Modirzadeh’s while an undergrad at SFSU. They became reacquainted two years ago and realized there was a strong connection, with both preferring to travel open-endedly upon jazzy roads of uncharted and unpredictable nature. “Vijay is one of the most original drummers to come around these parts in a long time,” Modirzadeh said. “His is a singular voice on his instrument, pared down, honest, with an extensive dynamic range.” The two do acknowledge the importance of structure in music, and their floating improvisations often build from firm foundations.“Whether the music is composed or improvised, there are always some elements of structure. I am a big fan of theme and variation and feel there are always different elements of control going on,” Anderson said. “There is structure throughout, with fluidity being more the goal than any sort of rigidity,” Modirzadeh added. The two are thoroughly excited about the upcoming Piano Kitchen show, which, with its painted vistas of blue skies, will be a fittingly expansive space for their ever-advancing musical frontiers. PARTY OVER HERE, PARTY OVER THERE: Summer is certainly in full swing, despite any lingering tendrils of gray and gloom that smother our seaside town. With a few days of recovery time from recent patriotic partying, it’s time to raise a glass to the occasion of the day and party all over again. Tonight on Thursday, July 7, SOhO Restaurant & Music Club celebrates the coronation of a brand-new patio with special summertime cocktails, smokin’ good food, and games galore, like darts, giant Jenga, corn hole, and ladderball. The all-ages event will be a very fun way to feel the love for one of S.B.’s favorite music venues (1221 State St., 6:30pm). On Saturday, July 9, help Ricardo celebrate his birthday with some of the most punk partiers around, when SoCal bands Ill Repute, Boxheads, Unit-F, and Propaganda of the Dead host an all-ages gig for the birthday boy, whomever he may be. Oxnard’s Ill Repute and S.B.’s Boxheads are two of the longer-standing punk acts in our area, having torn it up since the 1980s as a foundational cornerstone in the hardcore California style known as nardcore — children of the time may remember La Casa de la Raza as S.B.’s nardcore nest. No one can hold a candle to Boxheads’ funny and slightly worrying press-release manifesto, which makes them seem like the hardcore punk equivalent of an Animal House rager. Just don’t fall asleep during their set (423 State St., 8:30pm). n

SBIFF Wave Brings Best French Films to S.B.

Invariably, the mother-ship SBIFF event in late Director Tommy Weber’s tale of wayward youth, January/early February includes at least a smattering Sleepless Night in Paris (Quand je ne dors pas), takes aim of French films in its mix each year, but the 11 French at a twenty-something in search of self, as told through films assembled for this Wave give a necessarily more a funny and sad series of things happening one night, singular and focused take, culturally and linguistically roaming around Paris. The film is moodily shot in black-and-white and favors close-ups, right through (in terms of language and cinematic style). SBIFF programmer Mickey Duzdevich has been in a stunning, extended final close-up of our mercurial, charge of the gradually expanding set of Wave festivals, tousle-haired hero waxing hopeful and bewildered and he admits that “there is so much great French con- about his future, breaking into song as if the ripest tent, it makes it hard to choose.

Thurs 7/7 8:00pm hacks who tried to work the exploitation of the Congo into a kid’s fantasy of going savage. Why not just stick to the pulpy story like the impeccable Jungle Book film? Tarzan’s reintegration with the scary flora and fauna of the African jungle is great.

O Finding Dory

Free State of Jones (139 mins., R) Not everything works, dramatically, or achieves its desired state of artfulnessversus-showbiz slickness and smugness in director Gary Ross’s true-life-based film about a group of rebels and escaped slaves courageously creating a Mississippi outpost during the Civil War. But the film succeeds in expanding the current sociocultural conversation about slavery— slavery and its lingering post-“emancipation” horrors. Self-determined and self-appointed commanderin-chief of his own free zone in the Deep South, Matthew McConaughey puts in one of his now routinely fine performances (since his apparent talentreplacement surgery) and wears his shaggy heroics well. (JW) Paseo Nuevo (Ends Tue., July 12)

O Independence Day: Resurgence (120 mins., PG-13) Expect a big-budget B movie. You will not be disappointed. The first Independence Day— released way back in 1996 — was ridiculously derivative and yet inexplicably enjoyable, a cult film despite mixed reviews. This movie has all the same corny beats — action, emotion, and spectacle overload— overload and features Santa Barbara star and former kiteboarder Maika Monroe (It Follows), who steals the show. You will not learn anything about yourself or the nature of reality. You will see a gigantic alien queen chase a busload of kids across the Salt Flats. (DJP) Camino Real (2D)/Metro 4 (2D)

Paul Dano plays Hank, bereft on a desert island and about to hang himself when a dead body in the surf named Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) saves his life by flatulence, springing prophetic erections, and spewing fresh water. The directors, Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, have self-consciously fashioned a cult film, a dicey strategy. The film is a lot funnier and cuter than you might imagine and plays off the same spousebroken anxieties that Judd Apatow mined so long ago. Its cult status is yet to be determined. (DJP)

Maybe it isn’t one of those sequels that turn out better than the original, but it won’t invite disgrace on the Pixar brand either. The first half of Finding Dory isn’t funny and goes pretty much where you expect it to — Dory remembers her parents, invites Nemo and Marlin on an adventure, and then gets waylaid. But the second half is all preposterous problems and crazy solutions. An insecure octopus and the voice of Sigourney Weaver help the forgetful blue tang negotiate a fable about trusting her own heart’s ways. (DJP)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of july 7 ARIES

CANCER

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Events in the coming week may trick your mind and tweak your heart. They might mess with your messiah complex and wreak havoc on your habits. But I bet they will also energize your muses and add melodic magic to your mysteries. They will slow you down in such a way as to speed up your evolution and spin you in circles with such lyrical grace that you may become delightfully clearheaded. Will you howl and moan? Probably, but more likely out of poignant joy, not from angst and anguish. Might you be knocked off course? Perhaps, but by a good influence, not a bad one.

(June 21-July 22): As I gaze into my crystal ball and invoke a vision of your near future, I find you communing with elemental energies that are almost beyond your power to control. But I’m not worried, because I also see that the spirit of fun is keeping you safe and protected. Your playful strength is fully unfurled, ensuring that love always trumps chaos. This is a dream come true: You have a joyous confidence as you explore and experiment with the Great Unknown, trusting in your fluidic intuition to guide you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “You can only go halfway into the darkest forest,” says a Chinese proverb. “Then you are coming out the other side.” You will soon reach that midpoint, Leo. You may not recognize how far you have already come, so it’s a good thing I’m here to give you a heads-up. Keep the faith! Now here’s another clue: As you have wandered through the dark forest, you’ve been learning practical lessons that will come in handy during the phase of your journey that will begin after your birthday.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): In the book A Survival Guide to the Stress of Organizational Change, the authors tell you how to raise your stress levels. Assume that others are responsible for lowering your stress levels, they say. Resolve not to change anything about yourself. Hold on to everything in your life that’s expendable. Fear the future. Get embroiled in trivial battles. Try to win new games as you play by old rules. Luckily, the authors also offer suggestions on how to reduce your stress. Get good sleep, they advise. Exercise regularly. Don’t drink too much caffeine. Feel lots of gratitude. Clearly define a few strong personal goals, and let go of lesser wishes. Practice forgiveness and optimism. Talk to yourself with kindness. Got all that, Taurus? It’s an excellent place to start as you formulate your strategy for the second half of 2016.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): After an Illinois man’s wife whacked him in the neck with a hatchet, he didn’t hold a grudge. Just the opposite. Speaking from a hospital room while recovering from his life-threatening wound, Thomas Deas testified that he still loved his attacker and hoped they could reconcile. Is this admirable or pathetic? I’ll go with pathetic. Forgiving one’s allies and loved ones for their mistakes is wise, but allowing and enabling their maliciousness and abuse should be taboo. Keep that standard in mind during the coming weeks, Aquarius. People close to you may engage in behavior that lacks full integrity. Be compassionate but tough-minded in your response.

PISCES

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do you remember that turning point when you came to a fork in the road of your destiny at a moment when your personal power wasn’t strong? And do you recall how you couldn’t muster the potency to make the most courageous choice, but instead headed in the direction that seemed easier? Well, here’s some intriguing news: Your journey has delivered you, via a convoluted route, to a place not too far from that original fork in the road. It’s possible you could return there and revisit the options — which are now more mature and meaningful — with greater authority. Trust your exuberance.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): After years of painstaking research, the psychic surgeons at the Beauty and Truth Lab have finally perfected the art and science of Zodiac Makeovers. Using a patented technique known as

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Can water run uphill? Not usually. But there’s an eccentric magic circulating in your vicinity, and it could generate phenomena that are comparable to water running uphill. I wouldn’t be surprised, either, to see the equivalent of stars coming out in the daytime. Or a mountain moving out of your way. Or the trees whispering an oracle exactly when you need it. Be alert for anomalous blessings, Pisces. They may be so different from what you think is possible that they could be hard to recognize.

8 SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF ART

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In high school I was a good athlete with a promising future as a baseball player. But my aspirations were aborted in sophomore year when the coach banished me from the team. My haircut and wardrobe were too weird, he said. I may have been a skillful shortstop, but my edgy politics made him nervous and mad. At the time I was devastated by his expulsion. Playing baseball was my passion. But in retrospect I was grateful. The coach effectively ended my career as a jock, steering me toward my true callings: poetry and music and astrology. I invite you to identify a comparable twist in your own destiny, Scorpio. What unexpected blessings came your way through a seeming adversary? The time is ripe to lift those blessings to the next level.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My devoted contingent of private detectives, intelligence agents, and psychic sleuths is constantly wandering the globe gathering data for me to use in creating your horoscopes. In recent days, they have reported that many of you Virgos are seeking expansive visions and mulling long-term decisions. Your tribe seems unusually relaxed about the future and is eager to be emancipated from shrunken possibilities. Crucial in this wonderful development has been an inclination to stop obsessing on small details and avoid being distracted by transitory concerns. Hallelujah! Keep up the good work. Think BIG! BIGGER! BIGGEST!

(May 21-June 20): Normally I’m skeptical about miraculous elixirs and sudden cures and stupendous breakthroughs. I avoid fantasizing about a “silver bullet” that can simply and rapidly repair an entrenched problem. But I’m setting aside my caution as I evaluate your prospects for the coming months. While I don’t believe that a sweeping transformation is guaranteed, I suspect it’s far more likely than usual. I suggest you open your mind to it.

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I love writing horoscopes for you. Your interest in my insights spurs my creativity and makes me smarter. As I search for the inspiration you need next, I have to continually reinvent my approach to finding the truth. The theories I had about your destiny last month may not be applicable this month. My devotion to following your ever-shifting story keeps me enjoyably off-balance, propelling me free of habit and predictability. I’m grateful for your influence on me! Now I suggest that you compose a few thank-you notes similar to the one I’ve written here. Address them to the people in your life who move you and feed you and transform you the best.

Any information obtained may be used for that purpose. 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 (714) 730‑2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site ‑ www.servicelinkASAP. com‑ for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 124787. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. A‑4581441 06/30/2016, 07/07/2016, 07/14/2016
