Brandi Webber’s prior career as a cartographer is only the first surprising fact about this Indy sales rep. While sipping on a pale green smoothie she’d made from yogurt, spinach, kale, celery, apple, pineapple, and mango (her own recipe to beat the heat), Webber laughed while explaining the finer points of twirling flaming pois — her majorette skills peaked at age 12 when she won fifth in the world baton championships — and other Phish fan festivities. “I’ve always been a happy-go-lucky person,” she admitted, with a love of music, jam bands especially. The UCSB geography grad is in perpetual motion these days as she makes her rounds to Best Of winners (all revealed on October 20) and her Cocktail Land clients. “I’m very happy to be here,” she smiled.

NEWS of the WEEK
by Kelsey Brugger @kelseybrugger, Keith hamm, tyler hayden @TylerHayden1, and nicK Welsh, with Independent staff
photo OF THE week
photo by Paul Wellman There was a lot of spirit-lifting and fundraising in the waters off of the Santa Barbara coast on Saturday, September 24, as nearly 120 paddlers joined forces to brave more than 30 miles of sea from the Gaviota Coast to Miramar Beach as part of the 14th annual Friendship Paddle. The endurance challenge and camaraderie-building charity event benefits an ocean-loving Santa Barbaran fighting a life-threatening disease. This year, that was The Santa Barbara Independent Independent’s own editor-at-large, Ethan Stewart, who’s been fighting — and winning — the battle against neuroendocrine cancer for three years. As of press time, the paddle, which culminated in a hugs-soaked and paella-packed party of more than 300 people on Miramar Beach, had raised nearly $130,000 for Stewart, and donations are still being accepted.

Craigslist savior
Son of Young Mom Killed in Mesa Car Crash Finds New Home
F
by Kelsey Brugger
or Robin Unander, all great things have begun with Craigslist. Nine years ago, Unander, recently divorced and in her mid-thirties, posted to the classified ad website that she was looking for a guy. It worked out, and two years later, she found herself married and having a baby boy. When she returned to Craigslist to look for used baby items, she found a young single mom desperate for a crib, prompting her to launch a nonprofit, Mother’s Helpers, to provide baby goods for parents in need. Through this nonprofit, Unander got to know Daniella Hearn, the 19-year-old who died on August 9 in a car crash on Cliff Drive. Hearn; her boyfriend, Ben Rubio, who was 28, and friend Angel Flores, 24, were pronounced dead at the scene; the front seat passenger, Michael Mendoza, 29, survived. Any day now,
the police are expected to release their official findings. Last week, Unander and her husband, Dan La Berge, became the permanent guardians of Hearn’s baby son, Lukas Hunt. Never really a kid person —“I probably would have been fine growing old having a footloose, fancyfree lifestyle,” she said—Unander now finds herself with two biological children, ages 7 and 4, and Lukas, just shy of 15 months. An attorney employed part-time as a legal advisor through UCSB’s Associated Students, Unander first met Hearn and Lukas last Memorial Day weekend. She’d responded to Hearn’s distressed post at the Mother’s Helpers Facebook page, seeking someone to watch Lukas during her next-day shift at the 99 Cents store on State Street. Hearn dropped him off in the morning. As she handed Unander a canvas bag of baby items, Hearn asked, “How much do you
charge?” Unander replied, “Nothing.” It was Saturday; Unander was spending the day around the house with her kids, anyway, she told her. As Hearn walked away, she turned around to ask, “What was your name again?” Hearn—whose funeral service was held Wednesday, which would have been her 20th birthday— had a rough childhood. Suffering birthday from learning disabilities, she found herself hanging with the De la Guerra Plaza street crowd, using drugs and alcohol. She was living on the streets by age 15. A week after completing La Cuesta Continuation High School, she gave birth to Lukas. His father, Frank Hunt, was mainly out of the picture. Early this summer, Hearn’s life grew dif difficult—kicked out of her house, she slipped back into drug use. “She was in such survival mode; she really couldn’t think beyond today,” Unander said. Unander started to watch Lukas regularly. When Hearn decided

On 9/21 at 2 a.m., a twenty-something driver failed to successfully navigate a sharp turn and plunged 400 feet off the side of the road. Neither he nor his passenger was seriously injured. Then, on 9/22 at 10 p.m., another car, also carrying two men in their twenties, careened off the same portion of roadway near 2900 Gibraltar Road. The car rolled several times down the cliff before coming to rest against the vehicle that had gone over the side just 20 hours earlier. The men’s injuries were moderate.

to start Casa Serena’s 90-day treatment plan, Unander said, she and La Berge agreed to take Lukas for three months. Unander filed for short-term guardianship. The night of the accident, Hearn had dropped by to visit with Lukas. She looked good—lucid and clear, Unander said. But just over an hour later, Hearn was dead. The scene of the accident continues to be sprinkled with flowers and letters. Condolences line her Facebook page. Strangers who remember her while in line at the 99 Cents store left kind words on the GoFundMe.com page set up for her memorial service. Her mother, Dianne Hearn, said many people are contacting her now. “Very few reached out when she was alive,” she said. “Robin was one of those who [did].” Of her daughter, Hearn said, “She had a good heart. If she couldn’t give you the shirt off her back, she’d find one to give you.” Saying they “really touched Dani,” she expressed
gratitude Unander and La Berge can bring Lukas into their family. “They are a perfect family because they are not a perfect family,” she said.“They are normal.” Lukas’s father could not be reached either by phone or social media for this story. According to Unander, he sent her a Facebook message last week, saying,“Thank you for caring for him while I get my stuff in order … Give him my love please.” Hunt could seek to terminate the guardianship through the court. He lives in Idaho and, according to Dianne Hearn, never paid child support. As for Unander, whose parents were also 20 years old when she was born, she could not say for certain she would adopt Lukas one day. “We were dog people before we were kid people,” she said. “I equate it to the puppy who has found his pack. He is home. It is hard to imagine taking him away from n that.”
shiny New shuttles on the Way
A
fter 25 years of faithful service—and a decade beyond their expected life spans —Santa Barbara’s downtown electric shuttles are soon headed for that big junkyard in the sky. When city managers sign another five-year contract with MTD next June, the 14 buses will be replaced with new electric shuttles, slightly longer than the originals, but with the same trolley-car experience of open windows, perimeter seating, and easy on-off doorways. MTD general manager Jerry Estrada expressed to the City Council on Tuesday how difficult it was finding a company capable of building the custom shuttles, which are no longer in production but are the backbone of the city’s downtown parking program. Estrada ultimately partnered with BYD Auto. The shuttles’ routes along State Street and Cabrillo Boulevard link shoppers, diners, and area workers to Santa Barbara’s public parking lots and commercial core, and they are a gold standard of quick, cheap transport among coastal communities. The service, initially free, was created in 1987 as a means of relieving downtown traffic congestion. Ridership peaked at more than one million passengers in 1992, but decreased to below 600,000 with the introduction of a 25 cent fare in 1994. Passenger rates then rose and fell in tandem with service hours for the next 19 years, until the fare was bumped up to 50 cents in 2013 and the correlation disappeared, as ridership dipped to 371,000 in FY 2016 despite an increase in hours. The ongoing decline prompted Estrada and councilmembers to discuss Tuesday if the fare should perhaps be lowered back down to 25 cents, or eliminated altogether. Estrada noted that this past fiscal year, the city paid MTD $1.11 million for the shuttle service (through Measure A, Downtown Parking, and Waterfront funds) and collected $144,000 in fares. Councilmember Frank Hotchkiss wondered about the fiscal trade-off of eliminating fares and therefore increasing ridership, and if the difference could be made up by selling more lucrative advertising space on the buses. Estrada said that might be an option. Mayor Helene Schneider noted the successful free shuttle programs in downtown Portland and Denver. “There’s something about just hop-on, hop-off that’s good marketing,” she said. — Tyler Hayden Estrada and the council agreed discussions would continue.

Four-Wheeled Residents Seek to Head Off Crackdown
A
by Nick Welsh
s insurrectionary moments went, it was uncommonly sweet. About 20 people — dwellers of cars, trucks, and RVs—gathered last Saturday morning at the public parking lot by Castillo and Carrillo streets for doughnuts, coffee, and some urgent political strategizing on how they can stay in Santa Barbara. They’re scrambling to head off a push by City Hall to ban recreational vehicles from city streets. Included was a family of nine from Mexico living in two vans, a Vietnam vet with 47 parking tickets he’s received for his pickup truck and makeshift chalet, and a defiant beachfront artist who blows glass into bracelets in his well-worn RV, for which all necessary permits have been obtained. Some, like the artist, talk of their struggles with City Hall— Hall in his case five court cases that he took to trial. Most, however, came to listen. Doing much of the talking was Deborah Barnes, a veteran guardian angel of the streets and parks claimed by those on the economic fringe, as well as City Councilmember Cathy Murillo. Murillo and Barnes are hoping to dissuade the City Council from pushing ahead with the ban. They’ve been exhorting RV dwellers to show up at council meetings and explain their experiences. Likewise, they are bountiful with suggestions on how to be good neighbors: Don’t congregate with other RVs, don’t create a nuisance, clean up, and be quiet. Not present was Peter Marin, whose 35 years of activism on behalf of the homeless qualifies him as the undisputed silverback of the cause. Marin is quicker to threaten City Hall with lawsuits, and he’s got enough legal firepower on his speed dial to make the threat legit. He’s sued the city before over RV rights, proved his
relentlessness, and is probably one of six people who really understands the legal intricacies of what’s come before. No one knows the real number of people living in RVs. But Marin and Barnes agree it’s in the hundreds. “Imagine what would happen if some landlord threatened to evict 200 families,” said Marin in a previous interview. “There would be a hue and cry. That’s what we’re looking at here.” Kristine Schwarz, who runs the Safe Parking Program — providing licensed parking spaces for 115 car and RV campers — estimates the total number of those in automotive encampment at 720. Her program may have garnered rave reviews in national media outlets, but last year, the county supervisors reduced her funding by about $100,000. As Schwarz figures out where to cut her own budget, she’s dealing with 28 seniors, 10 families with kids, two mothers with adult daughters, and many who qualify as chronically homeless. For the past 15 years, City Hall and the RV dwellers have played a legal game of cat and mouse. The courts have ruled RVs can be regulated as to when and where they can park but only if street signs are erected first. When the signs go up, the RVs move elsewhere, sparking a new round of complaints. Last Thanksgiving that happened yet again, and RVs that had parked down by the railroad tracks in the Funk Zone migrated into the politically influential upper Eastside neighborhood. At the same time, City Attorney Ariel Calonne was attempting to wrestle the city’s patchwork of homeless ordinances into some constitutionally defensible coherence. And Santa Barbara’s astronomically high rents were contributing to the swell of economic refugees hunkering down in their four-wheel abodes. On October 18, the council will review an ordinance to ban RVs from all city streets unless the owners have obtained

vandenberg Corrals Four separate Fires
M
op-up crews at Vandenberg Air Force Base are toiling in the smoldering wake of four separate wildfires that burned roughly 13,000 acres. As of midday Tuesday, base officials on the 99,000-acre federal property confirmed rapid and full containment of the three smaller blazes — the Washington, Oak Canyon, and Corral fires —while the initial and biggest of the bunch, the Canyon Fire, which started on September 17 and burned for 10 days, produced 12,742 acres of scorched earth along the rugged South Base region. No structures were lost. Federal officials have estimated the suppression cost of the Canyon Fire at more than $12 million. One firefighter, Ryan Osler, 38, with the Ventura County Fire Department, died in a rollover crash on September 21 en route to the Canyon Fire in a 2,000-gallon water tender. The driver of the tender survived the crash with minor injuries, according to a department spokesman. The driver’s name has not been released, and the accident is under investigation. Investigations continue, as well, on the causes of the wildfires, though initial communications on the Washington Fire reported that a downed power line sparked the 224acre wind-driven blaze, which burned September 22-24. On September 23, the 30-acre Oak Canyon Fire sparked to life near Federal Correctional Institution, Lompoc. It was fully contained the next day. As noontime temperatures hovered around 100 degrees on Monday, September 26, the base’s fourth wildfire in 10 days, the Corral Fire, erupted in drought-stricken vegetation, roasting four acres before firefighting crews got a handle on — Keith Hamm it.

nly hours after the first one-on-one presidential slugfest between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton came to an end, Santa Barbara congressional candidates Salud Carbajal and Justin Fareed took to the airwaves to bombard one another with attack ads. Carbajal’s campaign released a 30-second ad linking Fareed to Donald Trump, charging the 28-year-old Montecito resident was in lockstep with Trump on “opposing a woman’s right to choose” and in calling for an investigation of Planned Parenthood for sale of fetal tissue for profit, as alleged by right-wing guerilla activists. To date, none of those allegations have been substantiated.“Justin Fareed and Donald Trump—their ideas aren’t just dated; they’re dangerous,” Carbajal claimed in his ad. On the Board of Supervisors, Carbajal has been a staunch supporter of Planned Parenthood, which — he pointed out— out bestowed him the “giraffe” award for elected officials who “stick their necks out.” Fareed has attacked Carbajal in several of his ads as being “stale,” while touting himself as a fount of “fresh” ideas and energy. Fareed’s campaign spokesperson, Christiana Purves, dismissed Carbajal’s ad as “lies and dirty tricks from the worn-out playbook of career politicians.” Fareed, she said, identifies himself as “pro-life” but also believed there were multiple scenarios in which “a woman, her family, and her doctor” might find “medically or theologically sound” reasons to abort. Likewise, she said the allegations about Planned Parenthood stirred up such confusion that an investigation was required to separate fact from hyperbole.

Carbajal, the ad noted, has voted to increase sales, income, and property taxes while he and his wife were the focus of three IRS tax liens in the early 1990s, totaling $11,000. “Higher taxes for us, but he doesn’t pay his own fair share,” the ad stated. The Carbajals paid off the three liens in 2000. Two of the tax increases in question were for county sales taxes to cover the costs of freeway widening and other transportation improvements; one was to endorse Governor Jerry Brown’s proposed— proposed and approved by voters statewide in 2012 — tax increase on California’s wealthiest residents. Carbajal campaign spokesperson Tess Whittlesey obliquely acknowledged the liens, stating, “Salud had to work his way through college and endured tough financial times.” Barb Solish of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee added that Trump “bragged during this week’s debate that he doesn’t pay any taxes at all.” Lastly, Carbajal’s campaign stressed that the County of Santa Barbara has posted the largest reserves and — Nick Welsh highest bond ratings while Carbajal was on the board.

S.B. Attorney Helps Write Initiative to Repeal Death Penalty
A
mong Santa Barbara criminal defense attorneys, Bob Sanger’s about as ubiquitous as they get. Now he’s about to become even more so. Come November 8, voters statewide will confront a ballot initiative bearing the whorls and swirls of Sanger’s intellectual and ideological fingerprints. It’s a big one. If passed, Proposition 62 would effectively abolish the death penalty in California. In its stead—by default — would be life without the possibility of parole, also known as LWOP. At a League of Women Voters forum last week, Sanger disclosed he was one of three attorneys to author Prop. 62, while minimizing his role in the same breath. “I played a very minor role, but a role nonetheless,” he said, “and a role of which I’m proud. To courthouse watchers, Sanger’s opposition to the death penalty comes as no surprise. Indefatigable and outspoken in court, he’s been equally outspoken outside the halls of justice, working with statewide organizations like Focus on Death Penalty for nearly 23 years. Sanger was involved four years ago, when voters last decided whether to uphold the death penalty in the guise of Prop. 34. That effort, he told those attending the forum, came up just a couple of points short of victory. Part of that measure, he said, called for the abolition of the death penalty. But it did more. The money saved—roughly $150 million a year—would then be spent on more cops. “Our message was a little mixed,” he said. “We were doing too many things. And some people who opposed the death penalty didn’t want more police on the streets.” This time, Sanger said, the measure was crafted to be as simple as possible. He and two other attorneys —Paula Mitchell and Mary Broderick — painstakingly sifted through all the California criminal codes and excised any mention of death penalty. Mitchell and Broderick, he stressed, did the heavy lifting. Prop. 62 also includes language stating that those convicted of what otherwise would be death-penalty-eligible offenses would have to work while incarcerated, and the proceeds would go to compensating victims’ families. Sanger starts with the premise that the death penalty simply does not work in California and cannot be reformed. Of the 746 inmates on death row, 46 have not seen an attorney at all and 260 have yet to see an attorney about their habeas case, referring to the legal spadework necessary to challenge any aspect of their conviction or sentencing. The state of Illinois concluded 15 years ago that roughly 10 percent of its death-row population had been wrongfully convicted. By the same measurement, California would 14

hope school District’s $800,000 oops in the red: Caught off guard by accounting errors and rising costs, Hope Elementary School District has launched an emergency recovery plan. “This will not happen again,” said Superintendent Anne Hubbard (above) at a recent town hall meeting with parents and teachers.
T bob Sanger have nearly 75 innocent people waiting for execution. A massive study of capital punishment in California concluded in 2011 that the death penalty was no deterrent to violent crime, with the average inmate serving 30 years or more on Death Row, and nearly four times as many inmates dying of natural causes than actual execution. That report concluded a typical execution costs taxpayers $380 million. Death-penalty advocates have seized on the same dysfunction as Sanger, but they’ve come up with a resoundingly different solution. They’ve crafted Prop. 66, which would streamline the appeal process and vastly expand the pool of eligible defense attorneys. According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, these changes could cost taxpayers “ten of millions of dollars a year” at first as the changes take place, and then save an equal amount down the road if and when the legal infrastructure is in place to handle the intensely expanded caseload. Sanger is just as passionate in his opposition to Prop. 66 as he is in his support of Prop. 62, which he insists would accelerate the risk of the genuinely innocent being executed. Polling to date has been contradictory. A recent survey conducted by the Los Angeles Times in conjunction with USC indicates 51 percent of respondents oppose Prop. 62. Sanger refers instead to a recent Field Poll indicating Prop. 62 gets more than 50 percent support. But when the people are asked about Prop. 66, even more respond affirmatively. Sanger has been trying death-penaltyeligible cases for nearly 40 years. Not one, he said, has ever been sent to death row. As November draws closer, Sanger is hoping for the best.“Given the craziness of this particular election,” he said, “anything can happen.”

he unfortunate and necessary gutting of jobs at Hope Elementary School District— now roughly $800,000 in the hole from past budgeting errors and increasing special education costs—is focused on hourly employees, with instructional aides, librarians, and janitors taking the biggest hits as the district embarks on a two-year recovery plan. The proposed cuts are under review by the district’s Board of Trustees, administrators, and an independent fiscal analyst, and are scheduled to be finalized at an October 6 hearing. Soon thereafter, 60-day notices will be sent out to specified employees. In the meantime, parent-led efforts are also underway to help right the district’s financially sinking ship. “The good news is that we have a lot of active and talented people on the ground to address this, in hopes of hiring [people] back,” said Superintendent Anne Hubbard. Longtime boardmember Tony Winterbauer added that the newly revitalized Hope School District Educational Foundation is fundraising “to bring back the services we need as soon as possible,” perhaps as early as January. While teachers have offered to take pay cuts, their positions, like those under contract at the administrative level, are untouchable until next year, when salaries will again be open for negotiation with union representatives at the table, Hubbard said. The idea to shut down one of the district’s three elementary campuses has also been floated—as it was during the Great Recession—but that option would take at least a year to unfold and cost $100,000, according to boardmembers. The big hit that wasn’t properly accounted for by the district’s retired business manager, Sandy Doria, has been the spiking cost in special-education services. For example, as the district has taken on special-ed students previously handled entirely or shared by the Santa Barbara County Education Office, and as sheer numbers of such students have increased with broader definitions of special needs, associated costs have gone up 57 percent since 2014, according to Jestin St. Peter, the district’s psychologist and special-ed coordinator. Operating on a $10 million budget, nearly 90 percent of which is funded through property taxes, the district serves 1,000 kids at three elementary schools—Hope Elementary — Keith Hamm School, Monte Vista School, and Vieja Valley School.
hazing, Cheating, and suspensions, oh My
U
CSB’s Athletics Department suspended the men’s and women’s swim teams after a parent complained two weeks ago about a hazing incident— incident reportedly circuits of beer chugging, push-ups, and vomiting. Upperclassmen men will each miss two games; the women will miss one. The swimmers won’t all be absent from the same game, so that the team does not skip any meets. Nevertheless, the punishment is the first time the department inflicted such a consequence.“I think it’s us … taking a stand that hazing won’t be tolerated within our program,” said Bill Mahoney, the athletics communications director. Judicial Affairs is also investigating the incident. Judge Thomas Anderle, meanwhile, issued a tentative ruling this week, ordering Chancellor Henry Yang to overturn the two-quarter suspension inflicted on a sophomore for allegedly cheating on a math test. Last year, the then-19-year-old challenged her suspension in Superior Court. Her attorney, Mark Hathaway, who specializes in student defense cases, argued the college’s administrative discipline process denied his client, who is identified only as Jane Doe in court documents, due process. Her professor, Sam Ballas, argued Doe and two students sitting next to her—whom she did not know—had the same type of mistakes and showed work in the same manner with suspiciously similar stylistic tendencies. Anderle found that although there is “substantial” evidence to support an inference Doe copied the work of the student next to her, Judicial Affairs did not adequately inform Doe of the charges being filed against her “so as to provide a reasonable opportunity to respond.”According to court files, the university must reverse the two-quarter suspension but may hold another hearing on the case. Little is publically known about Judicial Affairs procedures outside of the student code of conduct handbook. Andrea Estrada, spokesperson for UCSB, declined to comment because the ruling is tentative. The case will return to court next Tuesday. — Kelsey Brugger
Opinions SANTA ANA BLUES: There was no cool shank of the morning the day Art Ludwig showed
angry poodle barbecue
up. Even in the pre-dawn cocoon of 5 a.m., the molecules in the air were seething and ready to swarm. When the sun eventually came up, it went hunting for fresh faces to decapitate. There are various names for the winds rushing off our mountains, but when they blow, wrote Raymond Chandler,“meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands’ necks.” At the City Council meeting the day before, former mayor Sheila Lodge —perhaps the most ornery and persistent civic activist in city history—wondered testily whether this is the 18th or 19th consecutive month of hottest weather ever. Art Ludwig came in without appointment or warning, radiating a relentless optimism about the rationality of his fellow Homo sapiens despite evidence to the contrary. Art is a water warrior who preaches the gospel of conservation. His good cheer is all but bulletproof; no one can gaze upon his array of pie charts and bar graphs and not be moved. Were it not for the desperation lurking in the crevices of his laughter — always quick to explode — Art could be a hard guy to take. He buttered me up and got to the point. Art wanted me to help “save” the community. For the record, that’s not in my job description. It’s also against my religion; the last guy
A Much-Inflamed Dog
who tried it ended up on a cross. The day before, the City Council had wrestled itself into a state of agonized exhaustion whether to ban lawn watering in the face of the worst drought in recorded ever. The council found itself terminally betwixt and between, but wasn’t ready to dispatch the hell hounds of Big Brother quite yet. Local residents were conserving water at unprecedented rates—42 percent. What more could you ask? And did the council really want to dispatch drones to spy on city residents? Councilmember Gregg Hart, in particular, cautioned against the cheap theatrics of rhetorical “optics” that didn’t generate real water savings. These questions weren’t necessarily wrong. They just weren’t right. Not by a long shot. Hart’s right; it ain’t about optics. It’s about reality. With the January grand opening of the desal plant looking iffier and iffier, the 1,000 acre-feet of water a lawn ban would save is, well, 1,000 acre-feet. The disconnect between all of us and the violence of this drought has been nothing short of profound. So long as water comes out of our spigots, we can keep making Kool-Aid. I went up to Lake Cachuma a few weeks ago. The water level at a spot I’d visited shortly before had dropped 16 feet. What had recently been water now was mud. We are entering the second consecutive year that the single most important water source will provide zero water. Zero. That wet stuff in the lake has been “carried over”—unused—from previous years, about
3,000 acre-feet. Most of it—another 12,000 acre-feet — is the “Dead Pool,” the absolute rock bottom that the feds, who own and built the dam back in the ’50s, will allow. Any lower than that, the lake ceases to function as a lake. It also ceases to provide the key medium by which the water being pumped into the dam via the state water system — just enough, by the way, to counter losses inflicted by evaporation — can get to our spigots. We’ve never been here before. Ever. About a year ago, water managers started talking about counting “drops of water.” As things got more desperate, they moved on to counting “molecules.” Now, with the lake all but empty, they’re all but counting the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin. They’ve embraced a new hyper-
theoretical calculus that gives them permission to “borrow” water that has yet to even fall —known as “banked rain.” This allows them to use water that doesn’t really exist — not as drops and not as molecules — without somehow violating the sanctity of the Dead Pool. Desperate times call for desperate accounting practices. In this context, a lawn ban sends an absolutely essential message; it’s time to wake up and smell the roses, but only after we let them die. Let your lawns go, too. Many people already have. More need to. Since the drought started, Art Ludwig told the council that city water customers poured 14,000 acre-feet of
water on their lawns. That’s what city residents used annually before the last drought. Art is bursting with such fun facts. The amount of acreage under lawn “cultivation” in the United States, he told me, is four times that of corn. Lawns consume 60 million acre-feet of water a year, more than rice, cotton, and almonds combined. Art can tell you how many tons of fertilizer and pesticides are required to keep these lawns glistening green —three million and 30,000 tons respectively— and that 100,000 people are dispatched to ERs a year because of lawnmower-related accidents, 95 percent of which, he said, required amputation. His mom, it turns out, was one. I think a lawn-watering ban works. Here’s a clue. Enforcement is not necessary. More people will cut back water use with a ban than without one. It’s that simple. You don’t need backyard drones or water cops. Laws make statements. Some statements need to be made. In the meantime, I came up with a new ad campaign for Art. “Lawn: It’s the new fur.” It was the best I could conjure in such short order. Two hours later, I got an email. There was a photo of actress Sharon Stone staring back at me, doing her sultry Sharon Stone sashay. I don’t remember what she was wearing. Maybe nothing. But draped across her shoulders, in lieu of a fur stole, was a big green swath of turf. It worked. But as hot as it was, a ban would work better still. — Nick Welsh

Breaking All the Rules: Making Sense of the 2016 Presidential Election Thomas Knecht, Associate Professor of Political Science, Westmont
5:30 p.m., Thursday, October 13, 2016 University Club, 1332 Santa Barbara Street Free and open to the public. For information, call 565-6051.
The 2016 race for the White House has been unprecedented with one surprise after another. Join Professor Knecht as we try to make sense of the nominations of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and predict what might happen come November. We’ll look at how candidates use various campaign strategies to make their way to the White House, and why those strategies usually don’t matter that much. Indeed, Professor Knecht will argue that the things people tend to focus on—campaign ads, debates, media coverage, issue positions, gaffs, hair—usually have little effect on who becomes the next president.

Coasting Against the Law
SCHMOOZEFEST: I’d love to report that the
coast. But it turns out that too often the commissioners are foxes feasting on the coastal chickens. Current law doesn’t ban contacts between developers, lobbyists, environmental groups, and anyone else with a stake in commission decisions, but commissioners are supposed to make detailed reports. The five sued by the small nonprofit Spotlight on Coastal Corruption were too arrogant to even bother with making reports. In all, the lawsuit charges that commission chair Steve Kinsey racked up 140 violations, Mark Vargas had 150 violations, Wendy Mitchell had 120, Erik Howell 96, and Martha McClure 82. If all of Kinsey’s alleged violations are sustained, he would be in line for civil fines of $5,250,000. The commission holds open meetings. Why would developers and lobbyists have to sneak around with whisper sessions? If a project is good, why not air out the reasons before the public?
California Coastal Commission is valiantly living up to the law requiring members to report when schmoozing with developers trying to influence them. I’d love to, but I can’t. In fact, according to a new lawsuit, five commissioners have violated transparency rules no fewer than 590 times. By thumbing their nose at the law, they face possible fines running into the millions of dollars. You scoff, and you have a right to. We all know that in the unlikely chance that all alleged violations are sustained, they will probably at best get a virtual slap on the wrist. History has taught us that in Sacramento, where give-and-take (especially take) is the No. 1 rule, lobbyists have licenses to hunt. You interfere with lobbyists at your own risk. Example: When Santa Barbara State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson had the temerity to author a bill banning private meetings between coastal commissioners and lobbyists, a shocked Assembly committee deep-sixed it fast, fast, fast. A big kiss-off. Lobbyists and unions hit it hard. One of the few votes for it was Santa Barbara Assemblymember Das Williams. Jackson’s plea was that it’s necessary to restore public confidence and trust in an embattled agency that oversees protection of the roughly 840 miles of California’s precious
BRANGELINA: In the past decade, actor-
celebs Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, now splitsville, have been on more magazine covers than the bar code, Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight website points out. The question Santa Barbarans are asking is who will get the couple’s $5 million beach house on the Gaviota Coast? “It’s one of the few places where there’s a residence
on the beach,” one activist told me. A few years ago, a resident complained Pitt was driving on a nearby state beach, contrary to state law and risking environmental damage. Media reports said he was teaching his children to ride quad bikes. HILLA-TRUMPEST: The Clinton-Trump
race is so tight that people are speculating neither one may reach the Electoral College’s magic number of 270 votes needed to win the presidency. What happens then? Well, assuming that the U.S. Supreme Court doesn’t pull one of its stunts, the whole shebang goes to (horrors!) the whacko House of un-Representatives. Each state’s Electoral College delegation gets one vote. The winner need not be the one who got the most popular votes. This has happened. The House is now controlled by the Republicans, and the November election isn’t expected to change that. But at last report, FiveThirtyEight says it’s likely that the Democrats will wrest control of the Senate from the GOP — lot of good that will do. All this ought to be enough to keep every civics class in Santa Barbara County hitting the books, at least trying to find out why the Founding Fathers entrusted presidential elections to such a seemingly crazy Electoral College system. Actually, it was a compromise

while they were trying to invent a nation. They split the baby, and look what we got: a bastard. Reformers have long been wailing about abolishing the Electoral College but to no avail.

Lois Clark McCoy 10/01/20-09/19/16
Lois Clark McCoy served as President of the National Association for Search and Rescue. She then founded the National Institute for Urban Search and Rescue (NIUSR) and served as its president while living in Santa Barbara until her retirement in 2013. She was instrumental in causing the federal government to create fifty urban search and rescue teams, dispersed throughout the United States and on constant stand-by to respond to crises, both here at home and throughout the world. Over the years, thousands of disaster victims have been rescued by those teams. Her Institute represented the United States Government at a European Union search and rescue conference in Greece, and the concepts developed by NIUSR were adopted by nations world-wide, where teams of women, men, and dogs volunteer to do this dangerous work. President George H.W. Bush recognized people who volunteered their time, talent, and treasure to help others, naming the program “Thousand Points of Light.” Lois was recognized as a Point of Light for her leadership, her devotion, and her amazing capacity for caring. She was brilliant, she was blazing, and she was blinding, and we loved her for that. Lois often spoke of her youth, and especially the time spent sailing with her father on the East Coast. Born and raised in Connecticut, she graduated from Skidmore College and migrated west, where she became every bit a Californian through and through. She married Herbert Irving McCoy in La Jolla in 1943. Her children, Whitney, Kevin, Marianne, Tori, Debra, Sally, and Daniel made her proud to the point where she couldn’t have a long conversation about anything without one or more of them creeping into the dialog. She is also survived by her 12 beloved grandchildren. Marquis Who’s Who acknowledges Lois as a recipient of the Hall Foss Outstanding Service to Search and Rescue award (1982), Diamond Safety award (1996), AFCEA Superior Performance award (2004), Senatorial Freedom medal (2004), and the 18

Margie Sharpe died peacefully on September 17, 2016. She was born Margaret Elizabeth Benbury on June 28, 1937 in Whittier, CA to Lemuel and Nellie Benbury. She shared her childhood with her younger brother Harris. Following High School, she attended UCSB where she was a member of Delta Sigma Epsilon and where she met her first husband, Don Sharpe, who she married in 1958. Following college Don and Margie moved to Pacific Palisades, where Margie gave birth to four boys: Douglas, Steven, Michael and Peter. The family moved back to Santa Barbara in 1966, and rather than risk giving birth to a fifth boy, they adopted their daughter Cynthia at birth. For a brief time, Margie taught special needs children with the Santa Barbara School District, and also spent many years volunteering for Children’s Home Society. An avid gardener, Margie was a member of the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s Master Gardener program as well as the Santa Barbara Horticultural Society, where she produced their newsletter for many years and served as their President for several years.

Bobby Eugene Hodges, 76, passed away peacefully on July 17, 2016 at Serenity House in Santa Barbara after a valiant battle with prostate cancer. Bob was surrounded by his family and close friends. Born in Lindsey, CA, Bob is survived by his wife Barbara of Goleta, his son Gary of St. Louis, MO, three grandchildren and 7 greatgrandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bertha Hodges Coveau and Edward Coveau of Sonora, CA. Bob's work as a software consultant for major defense contractors kept him traveling which was perfect because he loved to go places where he had never been. He was truly a worldwide traveler and always had another trip planned. With Dr. Fred Kass of the Cancer Center on his team, treatments were selected and planned based on Bob's travel schedule! Bob loved to hike. In 2012, he achieved a lifelong dream of hiking in the Swiss Alps from Zurich to Geneva. He loved to hike the Sierras and to fly over them in his beloved Piper Arrow One-Five Charlie. He loved music. As a volunteer compeer (social ambassador) with the Music Academy of the West's summer program, Bob took the musicians hiking, biking, dancing, sailing, picnicking and enjoying authentic Santa Barbara living, especially at the local music festivals. Bob, his music and dancing were rarely separated. Bob loved to smile. His friends and family will remember and miss his smile the most. He was our best friend, mentor, our rock, and best husband. A Celebration of Bob's Life will be held at the Santa Barbara Woman's Club on October 2nd. Donations may be made to the The Cancer Foundation at the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara at 300 W Pueblo St. Special heartfelt thanks to Dr. Fred Kass and the wonderful staff for their loving and exceptional care of Bob. To all of Bob's friends and family, directly from "Bob in Paradise", please rest assured that he wants you all to "Make it a great day!"

Measures I and J Fix Schools, Create Jobs
O
ur public school system is the cornerstone of our democracy. And, I believe, our local schools are at the heart of our strong Santa Barbara community. With good teachers, caring staff, and innovative academic programs that prepare this generation for the future, we have a lot to be proud of. Yet sadly, many of our schools are in desperate need of facility repairs that will make them safer and stronger. It is hard to believe, but there are still more than 150 portables throughout the school system—classrooms that have long outlived their intended interim status. And the pipes that bring water to thirsty kids are decades old and crumbling —impacting both water quality and our ability to conserve it the way we should. Many classrooms have old, leaky roofs and beat-up playgrounds that are hazardous for sports and activities. And many schools are running on outmoded utilities, which means bad lighting for learning and unsafe electrical usage that is far from energy efficient. Taking care of this overdue construction will create local jobs and give our economy a boost. During the last major school construction effort, 100 percent of the contracts were awarded to Central Coast companies, with two out of every three going to Santa Barbara contractors. This election we can support our local schools and the learning environment they provide our students while creating local jobs by voting yes on Measure I (for junior highs and high schools) and Measure J (for elementary schools).

I
write to offer some assurance to the author of “Dubious About Prop” [independent.com/64] regarding the sheriff’s concerns about the potential
hazards to our children presented by marijuana advertising following the passage of Proposition 64. The initiative imposes restrictions on “Advertising and Marketing” that focus responsibility on the licensee responsible for its content. I encourage Mr. Moyer and others to read pages 194 and 195 of the Official Voter Information Guide. Moreover, Prop. 64 provides specific safeguards with restrictions on “Packaging and Labeling” and expressly states that marijuana products shall not be “designed to be appealing to children or easily confused with commercially sold candy or foods that do not contain marijuana.” This protection was included as a result of the Colorado and State of Washington experiences. The anticipated regulations that will be adopted by the new Bureau of Marijuana Control do far more than “protect corporate profits.” They will also reduce the potential for distribution of high-potency cannabis by regulating quality control in licensed stores. It’s long past time to recognize that prohibition of drugs is a futile strategy to reduce the use of drugs. —George Eskin, Judge of the Superior Court (Ret.)

Joan Reis died on September 21. She was born in St Louis, the first of two children of Sue and Jim Hatton. Soon after the birth of her first child Dave, Joan and her first husband Vince Schulte moved to Springfield, Illinois. When her fourth child Julie was in kindergarten Joan started her career in residential real estate as an agent, which led to a very successful career owning her own real estate brokerage, and ultimately, becoming a developer with her own construction company. In Springfield, Joan was also active in Planned Parenthood and equal rights for women and despite having had all four of her children by age twenty-five and a career, Joan managed to graduate from the University of Illinois, Springfield, and in two years. In 1980, Joan relocated to San Francisco and began a new career in commercial real estate leasing with Cushman Wakefield, which was very successful, and in 1984 was retained to find a large amount of office space

by a firm for whom Morgan Reis, who became her husband in 1989, was the CFO. Joan gave up “my beautiful Nob Hill apartment” and relocated to Marin County where she took on the challenge of being stepmother to Morgan’s two sons, Morgan having been a single parent. Joan retired from commercial leasing in 1990. During their twenty seven year marriage Joan planned and orchestrated the extensive remodeling of three homes and the complete rebuilding of a fourth, as Morgan experienced an “itch” every seven years that led from San Rafael, Ca. to Belvedere, Ca. to Calistoga, Ca. and to Montecito. During the Napa and Montecito years Joan was very active in Master Gardeners and also planned and executed large gardens at their homes in both locations. In Santa Barbara Joan was very active with the Music Academy of the West Women’s Auxiliary and attended many of the Academy’s concerts and master classes. Joan is survived by her four children: Dave, Pete, Therese and Julie and their families, including eight grandchildren, by her stepsons, Josh and Alex Reis, by her husband Morgan Reis and by her brother Ron and his family, and by many friends. A celebration of her life will be take place on November 19, when her widely dispersed family are all able to come to Santa Barbara.

wo weeks ago, Terry Baxter began an unusual get-out-the-vote campaign in Isla Vista. While Democratic Party volunteers were handing out official county voter-registration forms all over I.V. and the UCSB campus, Baxter, an experienced conservative operative, was handing out warnings: Stranger danger! Don’t fill out those paper forms, she cautioned students. Register on your iPhone. You are giving your identity to a stranger. This was a new twist on an old fight: the race for the 3rd District seat on the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. For almost half a century, those elections have been divided between a progressive-leaning candidate, often living in the south of the district, and a conservative-leaning one, living in the north. The 3rd District covers the largest area of the county, spanning from Isla Vista over the mountains to the Santa Ynez Valley and up to Guadalupe. This year, the two candidates vying to replace outgoing Supervisor Doreen Farr both hail from northern cities: Joan Hartmann, the progressive, lives in Buellton, and Bruce Porter, Baxter’s candidate, resides in Santa Ynez. But the political divide remains the same, and the fiercest battleground by Kelsey Brugger centers in Isla Vista. Isla Vista has been the hotbed of county politics since 1971, when 18-year-olds got the right to vote. That radioactive climate has only intensified since UCSB’s population grew to more than 23,000 students. Today, more than a third of the votes in the 3rd District rest in I.V. That supervisor’s vote often determines policy on the county board. Today the board is divided between two liberal supervisors representing the 1st and 2nd southern districts and two conservatives from the 4th and 5th in the north. The 3rd District seat tilts the majority.
Vista campaign event, Hartmann told a crowded room of students, “I think it is very important you get engaged.”Yet Hartmann appeared more comfortable in front of this crowd than she did when she announced her candidacy a year ago; she ended her talk with a fist pump and an enthusiastic “Let’s go!” Bruce Porter grew up a military brat all over the country and overseas. He got his first taste of civic life as a teenager in 1971 when he served as a page for Arkansas senator John McClellan. He graduated from West Point in 1976, later earning a master’s degree in computer science and civil engineering. He worked for more than 25 years with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. He served as a combat engineer in Desert Storm, was awarded a Bronze Star, and left with the rank of colonel. He retired from the army in 2001 and moved his wife and three kids to the Santa Ynez Valley, where he works at Edward Jones as a financial advisor. He joined probusiness organizations such as the Central County Coalition and the Buellton Chamber of Commerce, as well as several youthrelated ones including the Boy Scouts and the aquatics foundation. He is usually well dressed and appears formal yet polite. photos by Paul Wellman In 2008, Porter led an effort to recall the Santa Ynez Valley Union High School District school board after they mysteriously fired the popular principal Norm Clevenger. The school board never disclosed a reason, even though Clevenger gave his consent. This infuriated Porter, but he never filed the 13,000 signatures collected for the recall because Clevenger was hired at San Marcos High School. That same year, Porter successfully ran for the school board, where his term expires at the end of this year.

Joan Hartmann and Bruce Porter compete ompete for the Heart of Santa Barbara county
Joan Hartmann vs. Bruce Porter A native of Wisconsin, Joan Hartmann spent her career in academia and law, graduating from the University of La Verne and later Claremont Graduate University before going on to teach public policy and environmental studies at Claremont and Oberlin. She had a stint at the Environmental Protection Agency, living in Philadelphia before she worked on a wetlands recovery projects in Southern California. Fifteen years ago, she moved to Buellton with her husband, Jim Powell; the couple has horses and cats and dogs and chickens. She has the hands of an active gardener. In 2008, she emerged in valley politics, coauthoring a successful ballot measure that requires a vote of the people to expand Buellton’s boundaries. Four years later, Farr appointed Hartmann to the county’s Planning Commission, where she served for three years. She joined CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and served on boards for nonprofits such as the Environmental Defense Center and the Wildling Museum. On the Planning Commission, where the rubber meets the road for development in the county, she has a reputation for asking detailed questions and being exhaustively meticulous in her research of the issues. But Hartmann is far from behaving like a natural politician. In public, she comes across as soft-spoken and polite. At a recent Isla
•
radioactive Hartmann’s campaign and the Democratic Party have been at loggerheads with Baxter, not only because of her stranger-danger tactics, but also because, according to Democratic Party Chair Daraka Larimore-Hall, she has been suggesting to students that they can register back home in other counties. This maneuver, he claims, is an outright attempt to stop young, potentially progressive voters from casting ballots in the 3rd District. For his part, Porter defended the warnings on his flyers — “Beware of pop-up voter registration tables that fail to protect sensitive information about you.”“If you walk up to a Democratic registration table,” he complained,“they are going to say,‘Register here, and I hope you register Democrat, and let’s sit down and talk about our candidates.’ Well that’s not legally wrong. But if they are leading people to believe they have to register here because they live here now, that’s wrong.” The law gives college students discretion to register back home or in their university town. Asked if he hoped more students registered in their hometowns, Porter said,“I want them to know they have a choice.” Porter’s appointment of Baxter to lead his I.V. campaign also stunned Democrats because of her history in an earlier Isla Vista voter-registration fight. In 2008, she worked for former supervisorial candidate Steve Pappas, a conservative independent who won independent.com

the endorsement of UCSB’s student newspaper, the Daily Nexus, and lost by just 806 votes to Farr. Pappas refused to concede, challenging the results in a court battle that lasted for three years and cost half a million dollars, primarily financed by Santa Ynez conservative Nancy Crawford-Hall. Baxter served as a chief witness in that case, which sought to throw out some 9,000 votes cast at 18 of the Isla Vista precincts. The judge finally threw out the case instead, ruling that “there has been a complete failure of proof as to any type of voter fraud, illegal voting or any other type of intentional misconduct whatsoever. … the Court can only conclude that these allegations were frivolous and tantamount to an intentional misleading of the Court.” It seems Democrats never forget, for on the wall of their I.V. headquarters is a laminated photograph of Baxter with the following warning: “Unless she is here to apologize … don’t answer her harassing questions.”

Some of the biggest issues Porter and Hartmann face are where their money comes from, how it will influence their decision-making, and how they will be influenced by party politics when the board itself is a nonpartisan body. Porter has gone to great lengths to cast himself as an independent, middle-of-the-road guy, though, according to voter files, he is a registered Republican and the Republican Central Committee is backing him; that group, however, is sparse, is plagued with infighting, and has few young people engaged. Asked about their support, Porter said they have given him little or no money. Where Porter has gotten substantial money is from Keep Santa Barbara County Working, a group funded by the oil industry. Answering questions about his opinions on oil development in the county, he said that given our dependence on oil, he’d rather it come out of Santa Barbara County — “which has the strongest regulations in the world” — rather than shipped 9,000 miles from the Middle East. “Tell me why that’s better than drilling out of 100-year-old oil fields in North County. Which one is more environmentally responsible? Which is more fiscally responsible? Which is better for the families of Santa Barbra County? Don’t tell me it’s oil versus the environment,” he said.“Shame on people who wave the green flag because they are just making it worse.” Last week, Keep Santa Barbara County Working — which is funded by Vaquero Energy and the California BORN TO SERVE? Bruce Porter spent his 25-plus Independent Petroleum year career in the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Association — reported retiring at the rank of colonel. spending $16,500 on a poll for Porter, bringing its total amount raised for Porter to $60,000. As of press time, his other contributions include $20,000 from pro-business group Buellton First, $10,000 from County Supervisor Peter Adam’s Adam Bros. Farming Inc., $9,000 from developer Michael Towbes, and $40,000 from the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association. When Hartmann was asked if she would essentially be a stooge for the Democratic Party, she said, “I don’t feel constrained that I have to vote a particular way,” adding her values are already in line with the party’s. “I think what is expected and what any constituent deserves is for me to study it [the issue] hard and talk and hear and listen and debate and explain my decision,” she said. “It’s a process, not a specific outcome.” As for her funding sources, a lot of her money has come from union organizations operating in the county. As of press time, she has received $70,000 from two chapters of the Service Employees International Union. Asked if that could be problematic, Hartmann said of labor union members: “These are domestic workers who are caring for people in hospice or people who are disabled. They are making minimum wage. They have contract negotiations occurring, but they are pooling their resources.

The majority plays an equally critical role during budget hearings, when three votes are needed to fund things such as mental-health programs in juvenile hall. Wolf wrote in the email, “I dread the thought of what our county would be like if we lost that third vote.” Conservatives naturally disagree. Andy Caldwell, president of conservative watchdog group COLAB (Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business), claimed a Hartmann victory “would be the most extreme board majority in the 25 years I’ve been [with COLAB],” he said, adding that she is a “heavy-handed regulator.” Unlike Porter, who has had little to no official experience in countywide issues, Hartmann has a record with the Planning Commission, and attacks such as the one by Caldwell can be checked against her actual votes. Is she an elitist with a South County mentality who has sided with the South County planning commissioners on 100 percent of the 20 split votes?

3rd disTricT STANGER DANGER: Calling the electoral system entrenched in the political establishment, Porter has encouraged students to register to vote online rather than in person at one of the tables on the UCSB campus that are set up by the Democratic Party. The Democrats rejected Porter’s warnings, charging the tactic was voter suppression.
nity plan that the community hates,” she said — she encouraged the Board of Supervisors to send it back for more public input. Where Hartmann lets her liberal South Coast flag fly centers on development on the Gaviota Coast. She expressed great concern that 4th District Supervisor Adam has advocated for development on the coast. For what? she asked. Orange County–like hotels to bolster the county tax revenues? Adam often complains that the North County region is treated as a colony where its desire for development is thwarted by slowgrowthers from South County. He once even called for a split between the north and the south. Hartmann takes exception to this logic. “Colonies are exploited,” she said. “But here it is going the other way.” Ten years ago, the county initiated a study on what the financial costs would be if there were to be a split. It found there was a $30 million difference between discretionary revenue generated in the north versus the amount it spends on public county services. Hartmann speculated that the North County elected representatives would eventually become more liberal.“We just need to get people registered,” she said.“[The conservative] Santa Maria City Council is not reflective of the population that lives there.”
tHe SPlit
One issue that clearly divides Hartmann and Porter centers on oil revenues since last May’s oil spill, which effectively shut down Plains All American Pipeline’s Line 901. Three school districts receive funds from oil revenues. At a Goleta Chamber of Commerce forum several months ago, Porter cited that the Santa Ynez high school district board had just voted to distribute pink slips. The other two school districts affected by this include Goleta and Vista del Mar, which he said have had to consolidate grades and faced difficulty with their preschool programs. Hartmann, on the other hand, argued a drop in oil revenues is due to the fact that oil prices tanked after a relatively high spike in 2013-2014. “Absence of a working pipeline has had very little to do with county revenues overall,” she said. Where Hartmann noted Vista del Mar could file a claim for damages against Plains, Porter questioned, “Even if they sue, when are they going to get those dollars back?”

Back to iSla viSta Perhaps indicative of their fundamental political differences, Porter has opposed Isla Vista’s 8 percent utility user tax, known as Measure F, which accompanies Measure E, the establishment of a community services district. Porter called the tax “regressive” and a “double taxation for the things the county should be doing right now anyway.” Porter said he supports Measure E on its own because it could establish a municipal advisory council, which would create a committee of I.V. residents to advise the Board of Supervisors. He added it would go hand in hand with his proposed Isla Vista 2.0 plan, which would establish a quasi-governing structure in Isla Vista at no additional cost. He would bring existing county employees to I.V. to create a “tool … for residents to create their own vision and then find a way to achieve it.” Many people, including Hartmann, question the effectiveness of a community services district if it lacks funds to operate. Hartmann dismissed I.V. 2.0 as a “crock.” “It is sort of like the Army Corp of Engineers going into Iraq, saying we are going to re-station our guys there and we’re going to run this,” she said. “I don’t think it evolved organically out of Isla Vista.”
counting tHe BallotS Both candidates moved to Santa Barbara County about 15 years ago. Porter takes pride in the fact that he beat Hartmann by 20 percentage points in Buellton in the primary election.“She didn’t get even a third of the vote in her own town,” he said.“They know her and the policies and the way she thinks, and they reject that.” Asked if its conservative leaning could be the reason, Porter said, “Let’s face it. In the valley, they tend to vote on personality.” But Hartmann, who beat Porter by nine percentage points in the primary election, carried Guadalupe, Goleta, and Isla Vista. One of the three remaining candidates in the primary was Jay Freeman, a left-leaning technology entrepreneur, who won 12 percent of the overall vote, a considerable chunk of it from Isla Vista. The other two were Bob Field and Karen Jones, both from North County and each of whom got about five percentage points.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVES WORKSHOP
Santa Barbara (Free) Tues 10/10 10:00 am – 12:00 noon GETTING OUT THE VOTE: Roughly a month before voter registration closes, Democrats have a goal of signing up 13,000 people to vote.
In the primaries, Porter emerged as a polarizing figure. His pro-business remarks were well received by the wine industry and the chamber of commerce, but Jones and Field were adamantly opposed to Porter. Jones, a far-right-leaning, Kinky Friedman– quoting known valley eccentric, entered the race to attack Porter every chance she got. Her beef, among other things, was that Porter had supported a school facilities bond in 2012 that was bankrolled by architecture and law firms. Asked about his active support for the bond, Porter acknowledged such contributions seemed “a bit unseemly” but were “certainly not [illegal].” He was not technically a member of the campaign committee. Field is known for being staunchly antidevelopment and also entered the race to prevent Porter from winning outright in the June primary. Both Jones and Field have since endorsed Hartmann. In the end, the battle for the 3rd District returns to the familiar ground of Isla Vista, where it is an undeniable truth that campaigning and registering voters go hand in hand. Overall the district now has 15 percent more registered Democrats than Republicans,
with 27 percent registered as independents. As college students tend to lean left, the Democratic Party succeeds at this contest. By the October 24 deadline, the party hopes to register 13,000 new voters. That is daunting for the Porter camp because Hartmann got more than six times the number of I.V. votes that Porter did in the primaries. That success can, in part, be attributed to the copious resources of the Democratic Party—foot soldiers, phone banking, flyers, buttons, posters, and, of course, pizza. Porter’s saving grace, conservatives emphasize, could be that Isla Vista residents preferred former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton at a ratio of eight to one; given that polls show millennials feeling lukewarm about Clinton, they may not turn out to the same degree in November. Still, with the legalization of recreational pot on the ballot—as well as issues such as the death penalty, plastic bags, and criminal justice reform —liberal Democrats are not expected to stay home. Given the dependable student vote during a presidential year, it is Joan Hartmann’s race to lose. U

the dark speck that suddenly appears when you walk across the carpet, then disappears, is likely a flea. It’s a bloodsucker, reddish-
brown, about one-eighth of an inch long. Using a magnifying glass, you’d see the flea’s body is flattened from side-to-side and it has long claws on its legs – both are adaptations for traveling between hair shafts.

On September 18, at the Public Library’s Faulkner Gallery, three longtime members of the Women’s International League of Peace and Freedom (WILPF) were honored for their many years of service and dedication to the organization, which began in 1915 in Amsterdam before spreading across the world. Mayor Helene Schneider presented awards from WILPF’s national office to (from right) Judith Evered, 89 years old; Dorothy Holland, 96; and Deborah Winant, 97. Then all in attendance enjoyed two short performances from Baile de California, which paid tribute to the work and choreography of Isadora Duncan.
Fitness
I
consider myself to be in the middle of my journey to a healthy lifestyle. I eat pretty well, drink tons of water, and try to keep my chocolate addiction under control. I also do cardio on a regular basis, so before I showed up to my Bar Method class, I thought I’d get through it pretty well. An hour later, my muscles were fatigued to the point of shaking, but the smile on my face had not budged. The Bar Method, a workout studio that incorporates different aspects of dance-inspired stretching and intensity movements, just celebrated its one-year anniversary at the beginning of August. The franchise, which coincidentally celebrated its 15-year anniversary the same month, promotes small movements to lengthen muscles, burn fat, and improve posture. People in The Bar Method’s mixed class do a consistent pattern of workout on the floor and at the barre, with some light weights and mats thrown in, as well. The moves can be modified different ways for people recovering from injuries, women who are pregnant, or even just someone trying to get back into shape. I took a class with the owner of Santa Barbara’s studio, Kendall Clark, who welcomed me with a vigorous hug and enthusiastic hello. She walked me into class, introduced me to everyone, and jumped right into the warm-up. I used two- to three-pound

weights and various abdominal or push-up exercises to wake up my core and strengthen the muscles in my arms. From there, I moved to the bar to stretch and do lower-body movements. Clark called every person in the class by name and could be heard sending words of encouragement to those who needed an extra push. She also paid extreme attention to form, never afraid to adjust anyone to the correct body placement. We finished with a killer ab and tuck session that had my muscles burning. I was definitely pushed to the end of my athletic capability, but I could see that even the studio regulars were, as well. I felt included in the Bar Method community and proud of my own strength. The Bar Method is located in La Cumbre Plaza at 130 South Hope Avenue, Suite D-113. See santabarbara .barmethod.com. —Tricia Paulson

elying on 13 years of airborne experience, Santa Barbara paragliding addict Cormac O’Brien (pictured) is now with 26 fellow pilots on their way to an aerial cruise of a lifetime: a 16,000-foot descent from atop Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Even before starting their weeklong trek up the mountain on September 21, each member of this Wings of Kilimanjaro team raised thousands of dollars for WorldServe International, which has built hundreds of clean-water wells across Africa since 2001. “It’s a confluence of really cool things,” said O’Brien, an EMT by profession who personally raised more than $1,300 of the team’s current $155,000-plus tally. “It perfectly combines our love for flying and getting to do something good because of it.” The paraglide itself, which spans over dozens of miles of untouched African wilderness, is considered one of the most difficult courses to attempt. “It’s something that’s only been done by a very small group of people,” said O’Brien. “It makes it that much cooler to say that we’ve done it once we make it to the bottom.” With unpredictable weather, the itinerary allots for an additional three nights to wait for safe conditions at the peak. They could take off as soon September 28 or as late as October 1, after which time they would hike down if the winds did not cooperate. O’Brien came to Santa Barbara as a freshman at UCSB, and his introduction to paragliding began with a dare from his brother. “We were playing a game of volleyball at Elings Beach, and a paraglider passed by overhead,” said O’Brien. “I never thought that’d be me one day.” After a day of lessons, O’Brien quickly became a junkie, connecting with a “beyond welcoming” community of enthusiasts around the world. He’s soared over seven different countries so far, his favorite trip being a flight with his brother over the weathered rooftops of his father’s hometown fishing village on Ireland’s cliff-studded coastline. O’Brien’s brother left the hobby for good after having his first child, but O’Brien continued his craft and recently acquired a tandem pilot license. So he’ll also be piloting one lucky person down from Kilimanjaro. “They’ll basically just be a sack of potatoes,” said O’Brien. “You need someone to hold the selfie stick.” After landing, participants will visit one of the Wings of Kilimanjaro–sponsored schools. Then O’Brien plans to scuba dive off Tanzania’s coast and, of course, spend a couple more hours in the air before he returns.“This is going to sound kind of hippieish,” said O’Brien,“but the sport itself is kind of spiritual. You instantly get catapulted into this trance-like focus where the only thing you have to focus on is flying. Everything else fades out.” See wingsofkilimanjaro.com. — Madeleine Lee SEPTEmbEr 29, 2016

n a world where tiny houses are suddenly a thing, Mattie Shelton and her business partner, Evan Walbridge, make huts. You wouldn’t call them sheds, nor would you store your income tax records in one, and they don’t bring to mind a yurt designed for camping out near Alaskan glaciers either. They are too elegant and more weather-suited for outdoor Santa Barbara, where they’re made. But they might make a writer’s warren or place to house overflow family visiting from Rust Belt, Indiana. Mattie Shelton (right) and Evan Walbridge stand in one of their huts. They’re mainly made by welding steel beams to trailer frames and then draping them in canvas, more appropriate for fashion De la Vina Street. They’ve also sold huts to an idealistic shoots than trailer parks. Shelton learned how to build shelter project in New Cuyama and have orders for more. Mattie was born in Pasadena back when her these moveable earthships primarily on her own, but occasional help did come from her renowned archi- father was designing for Angelenos — “back when tect dad, Jeff (El Andaluz) Shelton and Uncle David, his designs were less wiggly,” as one associate put it who runs a decorative ironworks plant. They look like — and her mom worked as a screenwriter. After the romantic huts now, but nobody knows what the tiny family moved up to the property near Westmont College that Mattie’s grandfather bought in the 1970s, she houses might become. “I pretty much started this whole thing a year ago, went to nearby Cold Spring School, which has had a but it almost didn’t happen,” said Mattie, as we stood Shelton enrolled for the past 60 years. Following high in the summer sun and tall grass of the family com- school, Mattie went to the Savannah College of Art pound where she and Walbridge work. “I was on my and Design and then transferred to The New School way out of town. I was driving to Los Angeles to join in Manhattan. Walbridge, meanwhile, studied archia commune. I was hauling a trailer, and then it started tecture at UC Berkley. Before this business, both were to rain.” It came down so hard she turned back home, vaguely unhappy. “It finally feels natural for me, actuwhere her dad suggested the small-house idea. Wal- ally building these amazing things,” said Walbridge, bridge, on leave from school, wanted in, and Shelton who’d like to integrate more recycled materials into the future. “And even though neither of us is in school Huts was born. “Our first order was five huts,” said Mattie, who anymore, I still feel like we are both learning so much.” Said Mattie Shelton,“Imagining where we are going recently returned from delivering their first plumbed and electrically rigged hut to a hotel park on the Russian from here is very exciting.” See sheltonhuts.com.

QUESTION: What is the difference between oral and IV sedation? ANSWER: There are some major differences between oral (or anti anxiety medication) and IV sedation. IV sedation:
• It is a very safe form of sedation when extensive general anesthesia is not needed • Is a more reliable form of sedation than oral medication, which may or may not give you the desired result and can wear off quickly. • Allows us to complete any amount of dental work at one time much more efficiently while you remain relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure without memory of your procedure. • Makes it possible to give you anti inflammatory and pain medication in your IV that can help your healing process without you having to take medication as soon as you get home. IV Sedation is something we do daily at Ericson Dental and we would be happy to schedule a consultation with you to discuss how it could benefit your dental treatment and experience at our office.

BuckeTs of Tears for Vin scully toasting the Famous Voice of the los Angeles dodgers on the Verge of his Retirement “T
here’s no crying in baseball.”
It was a funny line in a movie, but in real life, buckets of tears from longtime listeners of Vin Scully are proving otherwise. I have contributed to the outpouring, and I expect my eyes to moisten on Sunday when Scully signs off in San Francisco at the end of the last broadcast of his 67 years as the voice of the Dodgers. I turned 12 in 1958, when the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles, along with the man behind the mike who would become the club’s most important link to the community. Transistor radio sales must have boomed in Southern California. I got mine as a birthday present and was among the legions of youngsters to whom “pillow talk” meant listening to Scully’s pleasing voice while drifting off to sleep. Our connection grew stronger during seasons of pennant races and perfect games. In Santa Barbara, KTMS 1250 was a part of the Dodgers radio network for years before television took over the game. Because of financial finagling in the industry, Scully’s telecasts were unavailable here for the past three years. Something priceless was reduced to a commodity. I’ve always thought Scully’s ability to paint pictures with words was better suited to radio, and on a few days last month, when I could get reception of the three innings that were simulcast on a Ventura radio station, I was rewarded every time.
by John
Zant
the while keeping track of balls, strikes, and plays on the field during the bottom of the second inning. He spoke wistfully of listening to the New York Giants football game “under the big family radio” when the broadcast was interrupted. Scully recalled thinking, “Why did they do that? The Giants were on the move.” He then heard of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He broke the news to his father in the kitchen: “It was the only time I heard my father swear, and he simply said,‘That’s war.’” August 27: Bob Zastryzny came in to pitch for the Chicago Cubs. Scully spelled out his name and said, “To be honest, I was hoping he wouldn’t play.” He decided to call the pitcher Bob, and then he tossed out a gem about Doug Gwosdz, a catcher for the Padres in the 1980s:“He was known as Eyechart.” August 28: The Cubs network in Chicago played the audio feed from Scully in the third inning of their game in L.A., and he gave them the same gift he’s given Dodger fans. He conversed with them. He described the canopy of blue over Dodger Stadium and said it would be nice to borrow some rain from the Midwest. He assured them the Dodgers would never make fun of the Cubs’ seven straight World Series defeats because “the Dodgers lost seven before getting off the schneid in 1955.” At the end of the inning, Scully bowed out in self-effacing fashion:“I’m sure for some of you, [when] they say, ‘Did you hear Scully?’ …‘Yeah, what’s the big deal?’ … Well, it was a big deal for me. I enjoyed it.”
715th home run and Kirk Gibson’s 1988 World Series shot. Pauses in the games did give him a chance to make a witty observation or slip in a well-wrought story. “People ask me,‘Why do games take so long?’” Scully said a few years ago when Dioner Navarro of the Cubs backed out of the batter’s box to adjust his gloves. “It has to do with Velcro. Blame Velcro.” My favorite Vin Scully call was unusually lengthy. It was his description of “a blow-by-blow verbal battle” that occurred during a Dodgers-Giants game at the L.A. Coliseum on June 30, 1959. It is meaningful to me because I was at the game. The back-and-forth argument between umpires, players, and managers was a pantomime to everybody in the stands, but Scully managed to make sense of their gestures. His thrilling account was included in a long-lost LP recording of highlights of that Dodgers season. Willie Mays had pulled a fly ball down the line into the girder that supported a 42-foot-high screen in left field. Third-base umpire Dusty Boggess initially called it foul, but Giants manager Bill Rigney protested furiously, and Boggess changed his mind: home run. That brought the Dodgers after him. Scully: “Don Zimmer, Don Drysdale, Walter Alston, Gil Hodges, and Wally Moon are blistering Boggess. … Zimmer will be hoarse in another two minutes, the veins on each side of his neck bulging out like the cable that actually holds up the left-field screen. …” That last image was brilliant, connecting Zimmer’s appearance to the bone of contention. Crew chief Tommy Gorman got into the discussion and made a new ruling: foul ball. Scully: “Rigney is about ready to eat his glasses. Alston [the Dodgers manager] has walked away like a Philadelphia lawyer who has just won his case. Rigney slams his hat down and the gray hairs glistening under the lights. Bill is now going jaw-to-jaw with Boggess. Now he kicks at the dirt, hands on his hips, left hand thrown high in the air. …” Scully described Rigney’s tirade for several minutes, picturing the arm-waving manager as “a mad traffic cop.” Eventually, the umpires compromised: ground-rule double. Scully: “Willie Mays hits the loudest double ever heard in Southern California or in the United States, for that matter.” It was a magnificent bit of on-the-spot reporting, live and in living verbal color, by the greatest sports announcer ever. In his address to the fans during the Scully appreciation ceremony at Dodger Stadium last Friday, he spoke humorously of what the future holds for him: “I am looking for a much smaller house and a much larger medicine cabinet.” Here’s hoping that his medicine cabinet remains almost empty. Vin Scully’s departure from the airwaves, meanwhile, will leave many of us without a valuable medicine, the soothing elixir of his voice that delivered us from the torments of n everyday existence.

croWn Point’S $185 WineS roger BoWer and adam henkeL Up the StakeS in haPPy canyon
de sig n.c om
Winemaking skills aside, Crown Point’s progress is rooted in the 105-acre property itself, which Bower bought after a statewide search in 2012. “I checked the temperature range between here and Napa, and everything seemed the same,” said Bower, who is 58 years old. “I just had this feeling about it.” Under the guidance of Henkel and hard work of vineyard manager Juve Buenrostro, who lives on-site and tends to many Happy Canyon vineyards, there are now 50 acres of vineyard, including 18 of the original plantings from the year 2000. That includes the array of red Bordeaux varieties, some syrah, sauvignon blanc, viognier, and sémillon, and a new block of head-trained, triangularly trellised petite syrah. The vines cruise across the dramatically rolling property’s many aspects, but Henkel is most excited about a 10-acre section near the top, where the team battled a staggering array of yellow, blue, orange, and red rocks to plant vines.“Dónde está la tierra?” Henkel recalls the crew asking. “Es puro piedra!” (“Where’s the soil? It’s all rock!”) The thinking is that such“soil” causes vines to struggle immensely, resulting in fruit with more complexity and nuance. “It’s a total rock pile up here,” said Henkel. “I have huge expectations for this block. This is the future of the property.” For the purposes of cash flow and keeping Henkel involved in the entire region, Bower also bought the Westerly brand in 2013. Today, that includes a wide array of bottlings from the county’s numerous appellations, using both estate fruit as well as, for instance, pinot noir and chardonnay from the Sta. Rita Hills on the other side of the Santa Ynez Valley. “We have freedom to play around within that portfolio,” said Henkel of Westerly, which is far from cheap but does offer a more affordable means of seeing what this team is up to. After three years of anticipation, Henkel is happy to have Crown Point ready to go, and it couldn’t have come any sooner for Bower.“Patience is not my middle name,” he admitted with a smile.

hree years ago, a Texas millionaire named Roger Bower hired Adam Henkel away from Napa’s renowned Harlan Estate and challenged him to make the best wine that Santa Barbara County had ever seen. Bower, who built his fortune developing firefighting foam and running elite firefighting squads in disasters and war zones around the world, had recently purchased a vineyard in Happy Canyon (formerly called Cimarone) and gave Henkel an almost unlimited budget to enhance those vines and buy whatever technology required to excel. “I had no tanks,” said Henkel of when he first showed up.“That first year was a real scramble.” But he moved his family to Santa Ynez and persevered, acquiring traditional foudres and cutting-edge glycol heating/cooling systems, custom-made cement fermenters, and his favorite oak barrels. His approach combines timetested traditions of the Old World— World picking by hand into tiny bins, for instance — with the niftiest gadgets available, which are all linked into the mission-control center on the wall of Henkel’s office/ laboratory. This fall, the first two Crown Point wines will be released: a 2013 cabernet sauvignon and the 2013 Relevant Red, which blends 30 percent each of petit verdot, malbec, and syrah with 10 percent cab. Both spent 26 months in barrel, and both are $185, making them among the most expensive bottles ever made in the county. “There are structural through-lines in the wines,” said Henkel in describing these new wines as well as the two other vintages in barrel. “There is great fruit density.” It’s true: Amid the hearty blackberry, blueberry, coffee, and roasted meat aromas and flavors, both Crown Point wines are most memorable for their luscious viscosity, the same sort of soft-mouthfeel-meets-intense-concentration combo that people pay upward of $500 for in the Napa Valley. Both Henkel and Bower are excited for the years to come, especially for the cabernet. “We think that has the greatest potential,” said Henkel, who is already tweaking the Relevant blend (and perhaps the name, too) for future vintages.

Leonard SchWartz W Wartz
@ Lucky’s Steakhouse Tenure: As the GM and executive chef since 2007,
Schwartz has reinvented the traditional steakhouse model, expanding the menu to include classic French comfort foods, locally caught seafood, and vegetarian entrées.
Résumé: With more than 35 years in the industry, Schwartz is self-taught, having worked at such notable Los Angeles spots as Maple Drive and 72 Market Street in the 1990s, as well as owning and opening Zeke’s Smokehouse. “The move to Santa Barbara was fantastic. I feel very welcomed by the community,” said Schwartz.“My goal for Lucky’s was to continue its reputation for first-rate steaks while offering a neighborhood spot for a great meal.” Dish he digs: Market Street Meatloaf on Thursdays.
Seasoned with Cajun spices, the meat loaf is a blend of pork and beef, served with sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes in a rosemary-veal reduction. “We have a big following for our meat loaf. I have been doing that dish since 1984,” said Schwartz. “People from L.A. have followed me to the restaurant. It has quite the reputation.” Room for dessert? The signature Salty Turtle
Sundae is made with vanilla ice cream, house-made chocolate and caramel sauce, and pecans sautéed in butter, sugar, and salt. The scoop: Schwartz reinvents many classic French
recipes as part of Lucky’s “Plats du Jour” program, which includes Monday’s Chicken Pot Pie, Wednesday’s Filet Mignon Stroganoff, and Sunday’s Prime Rib. Made to be complete meals, there is no need to order à la carte like the rest of the menu. “We want our menu to be reminiscent of the food you grew up with,” said Schwartz. “We do not follow fads or trends. From a casual night to special evening, we offer guests consistency, high standards, and the —Rachel Hommel best quality.” SEPTEmbEr 29, 2016

Acme Hospitality, owners and operators of The Lark and other Funk Zone establishments, opened Loquita, its new Spanish restaurant, on September 28 at 202 State Street, on the corner of Yanonali Street. A Spanish colloquial term for a “wild, funloving young girl,” Loquita is a nod to the history of Santa Barbara. “Our city’s rich colonial history has defined us in ways that span architecture, food, and wine, and even informs our community celebrations,” said Acme’s managing partner Sherry Villanueva.“It’s the right time to dedicate our next restaurant to the incredible culture and food that Spain is known for, but interpreted by a contemporary California sensibility that is our company’s signature.” Leading the team is Executive Chef Peter Lee, who most recently worked at Jöel Robuchon in Las Vegas and previously at Gusto and Osteria
• Wine Guide
LOQUITA OPENS NEAR WATERFRONT:
Mozza in Los Angeles. Skyler Gamble, who’s worked at The Lark since 2013, oversees frontof-house operations as general manager. The menu’s Mediterranean flavors—olives, lemons, tomatoes, peppers, vinegars, jamón, and sherries—come on small and large platters patterned for sharing, either as an intimate meal or feasting with a larger group. Dishes include classic pintxos and tapas, such as Wagyu Carpaccio with Manzanilla; Ahi Tuna Tartare with Piquillo; Escalivada Catalana with Eggplant; and Gazpacho with Jamón Serrano. Imported charcuterie and cheeses feature Jamón Serrano, acorn-fed Jamón Iberico de Bellota, and a flight of Manchego cheeses with accompaniments of membrillo and Spanish peanuts. Loquita’s wood-fired grill is the source for larger platters of charred fish and seafood, marbled meats, pork, and chicken, serving two or more. Specialties include Shrimp with Tomato, Brandy, Garlic & Bocadillo; Spanish Octopus with Black Garlic Aioli; Loup de Mer with Tomato, Arbequina Olive & Lemon; Squid with Pork, Gigante Beans & Mojo Verde; Superior Lamb Chop with Eggplant, Tomato & Mojo Verde; Acorn-Fed Pork with Peach Chutney; Prime Rib-Eye with Padrón Pepper, Chermoula & Aioli; and Mary’s Chicken with Escabeche, Lemon & Potato. But the signature dish is paella, prepared in traditional pans and offered three ways: Verduras with Saffron, Cauliflower, Romano, Mushroom & Cipollini; Pollo & Setas with Fried Chicken, Maitake, Royal King Trumpet & Beech Mushrooms; and Mariscos with Bay Scallops, Shrimp, Calamari & Venus Clams. The wine list is composed almost entirely of Spanish wines, as well as exceptional regional wines. Cocktails include a selection of Spanish vermouths, farmers’ market sangria, and the de rigueur offerings of gin and tonics, the king of the cocktail in Spain. Several works of original art have been installed at Loquita, again representing both traditional and modern Spain. An original 19thcentury oil painting of St. Barbara adorns a wall in the dining room, salvaged from an old church in Argentina. A continuously running slideshow of black-and-white art photography from Spain is shown on an original brick wall in the main dining room. A series of seven 150-year-old solid copper-brass paella pans are mounted on a wall across from the kitchen.

he poké craze sweeping across California is now hitting Goleta. PokeMee, serving Hawaiian-inspired cubed-fish dishes, opened last weekend in Hollister Village Plaza at 7000 Hollister Avenue. Offering cuisine described as “Japanese fusion” and “deconstructed sushi,” PokeMee serves build-yourown poké bowls.“All sauces are made in-house, and the sushi rice is made with a proprietary blend of Japanese vinegar,” said manager Chris Nguyen. “Our fish is fresh and top of the line. For example, the salmon is a Scottish salmon instead of a more-common Atlantic or Canadian salmon. We offer fresh tuna loins, considered the filet mignon of tuna.” Each bowl starts with a base of white, brown, or sushi rice; salad; chips; or a combination thereof. Meat options include salmon, tuna, yellowtail, albacore, shrimp, octopus, edamame, and spicy tuna. Available sauces are house ponzu, spicy mayo, miso sauce, and wasabi mayo. Sides include cucumber, avocado, crab meat, kiwi, mango, and white onion. And finally, toppings include masago, seaweed salad, green onions, fried onions, shredded seaweed, and jalapeños. PokeMee also serves a limited menu from the Bay Area–based Sno-Crave Tea House chain, offering a variey of boba milk teas and fruit teas. Hours are 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Friday and 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturday-Sunday. Call 770-3826 or visit pokemee.com.

and ’40s; there’s a base to it that is intended to sound timeless. We’re not following the current trend of what modern country music or modern pop music might sound like—we are consciously trying to make a new song sound old.
Your newest album, Kid Sister Sister, is a tribute to former member Dawn Sears, who passed away in 2014. How has her loss affected the band? Dawn was the singer extraordinaire of this band for a long time, and also she was my lifelong friend for over 20 years. With the Time Jumpers, she was the focal point, a real showstopper. Now that she’s gone, we don’t have that anymore, and it’s kind of tough when you don’t have the engine pulling the train.
How do you see the Time Jumpers in relation to modern country music? If you look at the average age in this band, it’s 60-plus. We’re not 25-year-old kids trying to make our mark and chase what everybody else chases. Country music is always kind of trying to be something that it was but also something that it wasn’t, in a sense. We certainly don’t feel like we’re trying to compete in the modern world. We know our place, and we know what we love.
The album has an almost cinematic quality to it. How did you achieve that? The reason this band started was our love for Western swing music, which was popular in the ’30s
How do you feel about all the awards you’ve won? Being gracious and grateful is a lot easier than being so sure of yourself that you think, “Oh, I’m going to win again,” which

ountry, roots, and Americana music fans will have a reason to jump with joy tonight, Thursday, September 29, when Vince Gill, one of the most awarded and lauded country artists of his time, bounds over to the Granada Theatre with his Western swing band the Time Jumpers, courtesy of UCSB Arts & Lectures. What started as a garage practice session has become one of the most renowned acts on the country circuit, with more expert musicianship in their single 10-piece act than on entire festival bills. I spoke with Gill about the Time Jumpers’ departed singer Dawn Sears, modern country music, and time travel.

is not a wise way to think. … I think at least half of the Grammys I’ve won are because of something I did with someone else. It’s collaborating with people and writing songs. It’s not the amount of awards I’ve won that I’m proudest of; it’s the diversity of how far-reaching the bands I’ve played with are. From Alice Cooper to Barbra Streisand, I’ve covered a lot of crazy ground, and that’s what I like the most.
Why is music from the ’30s and ’40s relevant today? Would you go back to that era? I’m thinking that people would say an artist should want to be in an era if he loves it so much, but no, I don’t think so. I’d say no; we need him now, in this era. You need to harken back to different generations to inspire the future. If you could jump back in time to any era, when would you go? Oh, golly, I don’t know if I would. I like being here. I’m an in-themoment guy. I wouldn’t change anything, either. I’ve made some mistakes, and I’ve learned from them — I could change them, but then I wouldn’t be here with this moment. I’m good with right now. — Richie DeMaria

Several Stephen Sondheim musicals — Into the Woods, Company, even the blood-soaked Sweeney Todd — have Company gradually made their way into the mainstream. Merrily We Roll Along hasn’t been as fortunate. A flop on Broadway in 1981, it was produced to great acclaim in London three years ago but has yet to truly establish itself in the U.S. The loss is ours. The story of three young idealists and their gradual descent into midlife disappointment is utterly relatable — perhaps uncomfortably so — and deeply moving. It also contains some of Sondheim’s most beautiful and poignant songs. Area audiences have a rare chance to experience it when the Rubicon Theatre presents a concert version of the show (no sets, no costumes) for three performances only. The cast is led by Broadway veterans Andrew Samonsky, Kate Reinders, Beverly Ward, and Jason Graae. Loosely based on a 1930s play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, Merrily has an unusual structure: It travels backward in time. The first scene takes place in “the present” (the early ’80s) and finds the three central characters estranged and unhappy, despite superficial signs of suc-

cess. With each subsequent scene, the action moves back a few years, until we finally view them as young college graduates, vowing that together they will change the world. Bonnie Hellman, who is directing the Rubicon reading, staged the first Los Angeles production of the show in 1983. She suspects the unusual structure is less of a problem for today’s audiences, who are used to movie and television dramas that play around with time. She contends the main reason the show failed initially was director Harold Prince’s decision to cast it with kids in their late teens or early 20s (including Dos Pueblos High School theater instructor Clark Sayre). Hellman saw that premiere production and felt the young actors couldn’t really convey the nuances of middle-age angst. That will not be a problem for her highly experienced cast. Performances are Saturday, October 1, at 2 and 8 p.m., and Sunday, October 2, at 2 p.m., at Rubicon Theatre (1006 E. Main St., Ventura). Call 667-2900 or see rubicontheatre.org. — Tom Jacobs

renowned western swing group plays the granada
Weslie ChinG debuts
semiosis
It’s nearly 10 on a Sunday evening, and Weslie Ching (pictured) knows everyone wants to go home. “If you need to leave, I understand,” she assures her dancers, who are peppered across the studio floor, hinged over in various stretching positions. Nobody stirs, and without missing a beat, Ching launches into detailed notes from the evening’s rehearsal, the dancers nodding in agreement as modifications for spatial direction and facial expressions are offered. “Weslie’s specificity is a challenge — but in a good way,” says company dancer Shelby Lynn Joyce. “If she wants something from you, she’s gonna get it.” When Ching graduated from UCSB’s Dance Department in 2002, she found herself at a creative crossroads. “I didn’t really shine as a dancer, but I felt like I excelled in choreography,” she remembers, “and sometimes life and work slows down the process of discovering that.” It would take a lower-back injury for her to make the shift, and after several specialized commissions from area organizations (a multimedia installation for LightWorks Isla Vista and a site-specific dance for MCA Santa Barbara, to name a few), Ching was ready to tackle a season of full-length work. In Semiosis, Ching’s evening-length debut this weekend at Center Stage Theater, the metaphor of significance carries through to her highly detailed and systematic approach to contemporary movement, with a stellar cast that includes Nikki Pfeiffer, Natalia Perea, Lauren Serrano, Shelby Lynn Joyce, and Nicole Powell. The evening will also include presentations from multimedia collaborators Robin Bisio, Ethan Turpin, and Jessica Kondrath, as well as a live musical performance by area band Ghost Tiger. Her self-described “curiosity with both physical and metaphysical cosmology,” as well as her distinctive ability to etherealize austerity, allows Ching to create a fine line between performance art and concert dance, offering Santa Barbara audiences a fresh and layered perspective not to be missed. Semiosis takes place Saturday, October 1, at 8 p.m. at Center Stage Theater (751 Paseo Nuevo). Call 963-0408 or see centerstagetheater.org. — Ninette Paloma

“[Vince Gill & The Time Jumpers] represent the best of roots music… They dip into Western swing and pop standards and real, straight hard-core country. They can do anything.” – Rosanne Cash Event Sponsor: Barrie Bergman in honor of Arlene Bergman
At the Museum of Contemporary Art S.B. Shows through Dec. 31.
T
he digital revolution has accustomed us to a near-perpetual state of image immersion. Swipe this way, tap that, snap, and the whole world snaps you right back. Assume vivid astro focus (avaf), the art-making collaborative founded by Eli Sudbrack and Christophe Hamaide-Pierson, embraces this flood of stimulation even as it comments on and criticizes certain aspects of it. In avalanches volcanoes asteroids floods, their current show at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Santa Barbara, the group uses custom wallpaper, video projection, and dozens of brightly colored area rugs bearing images from their previous output to transform the space into a dizzying, challenging, and frequently satisfying postmodern rec room. It’s impossible to ignore the first important difference in how this show is presented, for in order to enter the space, you must either remove your shoes or cover them with disposable white booties. The reason for this precaution quickly becomes obvious; in order to see this work, you have to walk on it. In an age when almost anything can potentially end up hanging on a gallery wall, this simple act of displacement is a canny move. There’s something inherently comforting about a nice rug — it says, “Relax. I’m here to make you comfortable.” But as you look more closely, the images beneath your feet begin to complicate that cozy sense of “we’re all in socks here.” In terms of design, the fundamentals are both strong and familiar. Take geometric abstraction, add pop iconography, and crank up the intensity of the colors and the contrasts. If that were the whole story, avaf designs could be available at Target. But I don’t think you’ll be seeing “Nazi Dick Mandala (Jamaica),” a flag created for Glasgow International, on any beach towels soon. It’s
a symmetrical piece, horizontally oriented, with identical left and right mouths in black, flashing big, red tongues, just like in the Rolling Stones’ famous logo. Those white swastikas toward which each tongue so suggestively extends? Upon closer examination, they’re penises, and if you get even closer, well—they’re leaking some fluid. Yellow and green stripes complete both the flag design and the Jamaica reference, leaving the viewer to puzzle out the significance of this wildly provocative juxtaposition. Fortunately, the team is just as explicit about what they are doing as they are with their imagery, and the catalog essay by MCA’s chief curator and executive director, Miki Garcia, offers the following helpful explanation for those coming to the work for the first time. The images on the rugs “break down into two categories”—“abstraction and color” and “subjects related to LGBTQ politics.” It’s through this interpretive lens —in which the show represents “not simply a look back at past work but a reaction to the devastating homophobic killings in Orlando,” which happened right as the artists arrived in Santa Barbara to install the exhibit—that avalanches volcanoes asteroids floods makes the most sense. That said, making sense is not a primary concern here. The sheer quantity of allusion —Artforum and vogueing, Ann Magnuson and a stripper, Sonia Delaunay and Henri Matisse—feels designed to be savored uncritically rather than deconstructed for some political message. Is that Leigh Bowery? Let’s hope so. Regardless, this exciting and dynamic experience demands repeated viewings from those who can appreciate the wit and panache with which it has been constructed. Just remember to wear nice socks. — Charles Donelan

Sober living for men since 1955 “On behalf of the current residents, past residents and residents yet to come, I would like to thank the community for the overwhelming support of Santa Barbara New House first annual Heart of New House Luncheon, held September 10th at Fess Parkers Red Lion Resort, and helping us to achieve our Mission and Goals. The gift for me, as the Executive Director, is to watch how men, broken human beings, recover not only from addiction but a life of pain and misery self-inflicted and inflicted upon others. The faces of many of the residents after the luncheon was truly a heartwarming miracle, to witness the realization that 200 plus members of this community believe that their lives and families are worth saving has given them new inspiration and motivation to become the father, son, husband, brother and the man that so many believe they can be. So on behalf of the residents and those yet to walk through our doors, thank you for believing in a stranger and making a difference in so many lives.” — Gordon Guy, Executive Director For more information please visit our web-site sbnewhouse.org or contact me directly director@sbnewhouse.org - 805-563-6050.

Fallen Officer Memorial Project The Santa Barbara Police Department’s Fallen Officer Memorial Project will honor the five S.B.P.D. Officers – H. Thomas Guerry, Henry Evans, Clarence Jensen, Ronald Wainscott, and Richard Williams – who have given the ultimate sacrifice protecting the safety and freedoms of our community. The Fallen Officers Memorial will include a life size bronze sculpture (depicted above) designed by renowned Santa Barbara artist Bud Bottoms, symbolizing commitment, service, sacrifice and community, and will be engraved with the names of the five fallen officers. The Santa Barbara Police Department front walkway was selected as the site for the memorial so that everyone who walks up the steps will pass by the honorary location. This project is 100 percent privately funded, so donations are needed to help to bring the Fallen Officer Memorial to fruition. Donor names will be added to an honor roll inside the police station. Those giving $1,500 or more will have their names displayed with the memorial and those contributing $5,000 or more will also receive a special gift: a bronze centerpiece replica of the sculpture. Please visit www.gofundme.com/sbpdmemorial for details and to contribute online.

DUB IT OUT: Soul Majestic revisits some of its old favorites on its new compilation, Pass It Around.
They’ve GoT ThaT Soul by Richie DeMaria MAJESTIC MACHINES: What is a soul? Deeply imbued as it may be within ourselves or within our collective idea of who we are, preachers and anatomists may come to different conclusions of its substance and occurrence in our bodily vessels, as the search for soul has led some to confirmation of its existence and others to its denial. Yet, no matter your belief, you can at least take comfort in knowing that this indefinable thing is as common as the also vague quality of “cool” in music venues, and as soul is the most welcome secret ingredient to any live set or song or singer. This weekend brings not one but two soulful Santa Barbara acts with whom you can share soulful moments: Soul Majestic, the reggae veterans who play SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) on Saturday, October 1, with a special two-set evening, and Soul Machine, the much-enjoyed R&B cover band who play High Sierra Grill on Sunday, October 2. PASS THE SOUL AROUND: The year 2016 sees Soul Majestic reaching a watershed moment as they look behind and look ahead. In May of this year, they released Pass It Around, a compilation originally conceived as a sampler CD that could be given away to fans after shows. The disc has some of the band’s favorites, a remix, plus the four new singles they released this past year as part of a monthly song campaign.“It’s a good way for someone new to our music to have our most popular songs along with our most recent, plus a bonus track for our fans that have our entire catalog,” Eric Iverson said. The band is feeling good about the legacy they’ve built and the fans they’ve made through their own hard work. “I’d say one of our proudest achievements looking back on our career thus far has been our ability to keep the band together and persevere through times with no outside management or label backing,” Iverson said. The band has a new album slated for early next year, making this the perfect time to check in with the reggae rockers and see what they’ve been up to. See them at SOhO on Saturday at 10 p.m. THE SOUL OF A SINGER: Laura Cozzi, the lead singer of the hot R&B cover band Soul Machine, always knew she had the desire to perform burning deep within her soul. She was raised in S.B. by her father, William, the great Italian stone mason whose Mediterranean-style architecture shaped much of the soul of S.B., but it was through the encouragement of her mother, a watercolor painter, that she felt moved to sing. After hitting the theater and working with locals such as Rod Lathim, she turned to her passion for music and is now known for her remarkable renditions of songs by Chaka Khan, James Brown, and others, with a world-class band of musicians, themselves veterans of the soul-funk stage. Cozzi said her band is set apart by their sense of humor, and they love to make audiences crack a smile.“I’m happy as long as I see people coming together and smiling and dancing and laughing,” she said.

Bowl, come cooldown for all in Sun., Sept. 25. attendance. Starting with an ambling, narrative-driven first set and concluding with a tighter second set, Parton occupied the stage for a good two and half hours, demonstrating her seemingly indestructible showmanship in all its age defiance. Parton made many references of her being “unreal”— from her plastic surgery to her glittering wig to the drummer she ousted when he suggested she strip her image down. And certainly the evening had the level of polished entertainment professionalism so well-oiled as to be like a Disneyland ride, impenetrable in its presentation. She was funny, and she was skilled — she flirted with a cowboy stagehand and played everything from piano and banjo to hammer dulcimer and Autoharp. But when her voice cut through the air on songs such as “Precious Memories,”“Little Sparrow,”“Banks of the Ohio,” and, of course, “Coat of Many Colors,” it was real enough to draw tears. At age 70, she is still one of the most moving and powerfully voiced singers this reviewer has ever heard. — Richie DeMaria

don’t have a set list, so what do you want to hear?” asked Sam Beam, a k a Iron & Wine, on his first-ever visit to our town in Campbell Hall, filled with mostly young Wine-o-philes. He didn’t At UCSB’s Campbell disappoint, creating an Hall, Sun., Sept. 25. evening from wildly varied threads, about 80 percent of which were culled from shout-outs. As he put it, “An Iron & Wine Buffet.” Surprisingly, two of the best songs of the evening were covers — though he is known for performing them — the great Postal Service B-side “Such Great Heights” and New Order’s “Love Vigilantes.” There was an epic sweep to both the songs that was also present in the best Iron & Wine songs he belted out and hummed, such as “Fever Dream” and the showstopping, heartrending “The Trapeze Swinger.” Several times in the evening, I realized how great Beam is — he mixes the earthy
passion of Townes Van Zandt with the surrealist splendors of REM’s Michael Stipe’s early folk-rock. But Beam is a bit of a clown, as well, and he milked the in-between set time with self-deprecation and other kinds of wit. Sometimes it diluted the wonders he made. I think of Iron & Wine shows taking place in seamy little Barcelona bars or broke-glass East Coast clubs. Surprisingly, he fit into the college venue, making gentle fun of it, as well. Someday, however, Beam is going to play a stray set of nine songs without chatter, and people are going to realize he writes some of the most beautiful and strange meditations ever rendered by any American wizard of song. — D.J.

mong those who habitually attend the performing arts, there’s a premium on the sense of wonder. What keeps the truly faithful returning to the theater night after night, year after year, and decade after decade is the hope that something will happen that’s not only beautiful, but also unfamilPresented by iar, amazing, and even inexDANCEworks. plicable. When theatrical At the Lobero wonder like this hits, it’s a Theatre, Fri., full-body experience that Sept. 23. sends goose bumps down the arms and raises the hairs on the back of the neck. Even after enjoying access to three separate rehearsals, Vim Vigor’s premiere of Future/ Perfect on Friday struck me as just this kind of wild revelation. The sheer intensity of choreographer Shannon Gillen’s yearning for more of everything — more life, more danger, more awe—became manifest as the five performers tore through this molten composition. Part indie-film-like play and part immersive electronic music concert, Future/Perfect is nevertheless all about dance and the heat, physicality, and raw emotion that contemporary dance portrays so directly. When strong work like this reaches an audience ready to receive it, “wonder” shifts from being a noun that describes a collective experience to being a verb that conveys the active desire with which that audience leaves the theater—to know more, to be curious, to seek meaning in whatever life has to offer. — CD

Playwright Yee expresses the shattering impact of the loss of a child through multiple narrative strategies, distorting time and pushing the language to comprehend multiple layers of intention. Thanks to Michael Bernard’s keen direction, the actors keep a clear focus even when the script calls for them to verbalize characters’ thoughts and feelings along with the words they presumably spoke. The play tackles a hard subject, but through the dazzling rhetorical invention of the writing and a steadfast refusal on the part of the cast to allow the material to become maudlin, in a word succeeds in creating a captivating theatrical world. — Charles Donelan

nIck oFFerman and megan mullally I
t was an evening of music and laughs at the Lobero last Sunday night when Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally presented their show Summer of 69: No Apostrophe to a delighted audience. Show openers, Nancy and Beth — a k a Mullally and her singing partner Stephanie Hunt—skipped onto stage at 7:30 sharp, clad in matchAt the Lobero ing brown jumpsuits. “Yes, Theatre, Sun., I’m opening for myself,” Sept. 25. Mullally quipped after the duo performed a gorgeous rendition of Loretta Lynn’s “Whispering Sea.” The pair enraptured the crowd with their warm harmonies on three more songs before retreating backstage. Mullally then returned hitching a piggyback ride from husband Nick Offerman. They opened their show with a spritely tune about the Summer of 69, which began with a sweet verse before descending into uproarious crassness with lyrics such as “I’m begging for his pudding blaster,” as Mullally sang. Married for 13 years, Offerman and Mullally bantered easily, revealing their prescient wit regarding sex, marriage, and society. Politics arose briefly when the couple played a sarcastic ditty about Donald Trump that skewered the Republican candidate and elicited hearty laughter from the audience. Other song topics included Hollywood celebrities and “their glittering holes”—“Chris Hemsworth will leave you quite Thor,” according to Mullally—and their wedding vows, which ended with the ridiculous lines “Let’s dress up like cats and go killing / Meow, meow, meow / Cats that do murder.” Highlights included a visit onstage by their dog Clover, who refused to leave; reading love letters they wrote one another when Mullally went to the grocery store; a retelling of a spat they had about cutting two old oak trees down; and a song of true random facts about them: “My first boyfriend is married to Julia Louis-Dreyfus,” revealed Mullally. “A Hungarian man tried to go down on me in Japan,” confessed Offerman. It was a lighthearted, clever show that gave insight into Mullally and Offerman’s relationship and kept attendees in stitches. The duo ended with a song thanking the audience and claiming, “We’ve gotten very fond of you; we hate to see you go.” Right back at you. —Michelle Drown

(87 mins., R)
In this story of emerging feminist power amid a setting of hidebound misogynistic social traditions — submitted as Israel’s entry for this year’s Best Foreign Film Academy Award— Award a young woman, Layla (Lamis Ammar), challenges the strictures of her male-dominated Bedouin community by falling in love with a man from another tribe. The banishment of her mother, family and community tensions, forced marriage, and other ancient, outmoded family values result. Writer/director Elite Zexer tells the tale with an admirably balanced touch, speckled with emotionally charged moments while also languishing in unhurried atmospheric calm, equating desert aridity and the human follies unfolding, and unbending. (JW)

nOW SHOWing Blair Witch (89 mins., R) Adam Wingard seemed the best possible director to succeed in the impossible task of updating The Blair Witch Project. He knows and respects horror traditions, is willing to contemporize, and is a master of the bizarre slow build. But Wingard’s nice twists don’t deliver even mild justification for rebooting the “found footage” minimalist classic that was great because it knew what not to show. (DJP) Metro 4 Bridget Jones’s Baby (122 mins., R) It’s been 12 years since her last quandary, and now Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) is stuck in another pickle. This time,
she’s having a baby, and she’s not sure who the daddy is — now ex-flame Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) or new beau Jack (Patrick Dempsey). Fairview/Fiesta 5 Florence Foster Jenkins (110 mins., PG-13)
Real-life New York heiress and socialite Florence Foster Jenkins (1868-1944) dreamed of being an opera star— star despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune or sustain a note. Audiences turned up to be amused by the unwitting Jenkins singing. Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant star. Plaza de Oro
O Hell or High Water
(102 mins., R)
This grim-toned tale of two bankrobbing brothers (Chris Pine and Ben Foster) and the sheriff (Jeff Bridges) who tries to stop them is something more than a shoot-’em-up. With a taut soundtrack and starkly southwestern cinematography, the film has enough gravitas and emotional ambiguity to give it an air of greatness. (RD)

The Hollars (88 mins., PG-13) John Krasinski directs and stars in this comedy about a man who returns to his hometown when he finds out his mother needs brain surgery. Dysfunctional family mayhem ensues. It also stars Anna Kendrick, Richard Jenkins, and Sharlto Copley. Plaza de Oro The Light Between Oceans (133 mins., PG-13)
Alicia Vikander plays a lighthouse keeper’s wife on an island called Janus in between two oceans. Immediately after her second miscarriage, a live baby washes up on the shore in a small boat, and the couple decides to keep her. Then the director loses his nerve and ends it as a twitchy forgiveness lesson. It’s a
In this mildly entertaining remake of the classic western, a big cast of characters prepares a town for a huge shootout against a land-grabbing rich man. Like many movies of late, the attention to detail is rich and the drama is portentous, appearing serious and gritty but being on the whole rather bland. Refreshingly, not just white men but men and women of a variety of cultures and tribes are the gun-wielding heroes, and though the inclusivity is very cool, this is yet another depiction of an armed populace rising up against a vague villainy, and again, the mass violence feels senseless. (RD) Camino Real/Metro 4 Our Little Sister (128 mins., PG) This comedy from Japan tells of three twenty-something sisters who invite their teenage sister to live with them after their father dies and immediately fall under her spell.

Oliver Stone’s Snowden, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, is the kind of venerable and moderately thought-provoking political piece one would expect from the director of JFK JFK. Though the film’s critical incisors are not especially sharp, it nonetheless achieves an honorable characterization of the man and an indictment of our government. (RD)

(96 mins., PG-13)
In Sully, Tom Hanks plays Chesley Sullenberger, the beloved pilot who in 2009 crash-landed a U.S. Airways flight in the Hudson River, saving all aboard.

In the end, heroism triumphs in a gently inspiring if crowd-pleasingly dull way, and Sully is a welcome reminder of unambiguous human goodness. (RD)

CANCER
LIBRA
CAPRICORN
(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): What’s the difference between a love warrior and a love worrier? Love warriors work diligently to keep enhancing their empathy, compassion, and emotional intelligence. Love worriers fret so much about not getting the love they want that they neglect to develop their intimacy skills. Love warriors are always vigilant for how their own ignorance may be sabotaging togetherness, while love worriers dwell on how their partner’s ignorance is sabotaging togetherness. Love warriors stay focused on their relationship’s highest goals, while love worriers are preoccupied with every little relationship glitch. I bring this to your attention, Aries, because the next seven weeks will be an excellent time to become less of a love worrier and more of a love warrior.
(June 21-July 22): I’m not asking you to tell me about the places and situations where you feel safe and fragile and timid. I want to know about where you feel safe and strong and bold. Are there sanctuaries that nurture your audacious wisdom? Are there natural sites that tease out your primal willpower and help you clarify your goals? Go to those power spots. Allow them to exalt you with their transformative blessings. Pray and sing and dance there. And maybe find a new oasis to excite and incite you, as well. Your creative savvy will bloom in November if you nurture yourself now with this magic.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Thank you for all the entertainment you’ve provided in the past 12 months, Libra. Since shortly before your birthday in 2015, you have taken lively and gallant actions to rewrite history. You have banished a pesky demon and repaired a hole in your soul. You’ve educated the most immature part of yourself and nurtured the most neglected part of yourself. To my joyful shock, you have even worked to transform a dysfunctional romantic habit that in previous years had subtly undermined your ability to get the kind of intimacy you seek. What’s next? Here’s my guess: an unprecedented exemption from the demands of the past.
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I believe that during the coming weeks you will have an extra amount of freedom from fate. The daily grind won’t be able to grind you down. The influences that typically tend to sap your joie de vivre will leave you in peace. Are you ready to take full advantage of this special dispensation? Please say YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES. Be alert for opportunities to rise above the lowest common denominators. Be aggressive about rejecting the trivial questions that trap everyone in low expectations. Here are my predictions: Your willpower will consistently trump your conditioning. You won’t have to play by the old rules, but will instead have extra sovereignty to invent the future.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): How will you deal with a provocative opportunity to reinvent and reinvigorate your approach to work? My guess is that if you ignore this challenge, it will devolve into an obstruction. If you embrace it, on the other hand, you will be led to unforeseen improvements in the way you earn money and structure your daily routine. Here’s the paradox: Being open to seemingly impractical considerations will ultimately turn out to be quite practical.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Is it possible that you’re on the verge of reclaiming some of the innocent wisdom you had as a child? Judging from the current astrological omens, I suspect it is. If all goes well, you will soon be gifted with a long glimpse of your true destiny — a close replica of the vision that bloomed in you at a tender age. And this will, in turn, enable you to actually see magic unicorns and play with mischievous fairies and eat clouds that dip down close to the earth. And not only that: Having a holy vision of your original self will make you even smarter than you already are. For example, you could get insights about how to express previously inexpressible parts of yourself. You might discover secrets about how to attract more of the love you have always felt deprived of.
LEO
SCORPIO
(July 23-Aug. 22): One of your old reliable formulas may temporarily be useless or even deceptive. An ally could be withholding an important detail from you. Your favorite psychological crutch is in disrepair, and your go-to excuse is no longer viable. And yet I think you’re going to be just fine, Leo. Plan B will probably work better than Plan A. Secondary sources and substitutes should provide you with all the leverage you need. And I bet you will finally capitalize on an advantage that you have previously neglected. For best results, be vigilant for unexpected help.
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you able to expand while you are contracting, and vice versa? Can you shed mediocre comforts and also open your imagination to gifts that await you at the frontier? Is it possible to be skeptical toward ideas that shrink your world and people who waste your time, even as you cultivate optimism and innocence about the interesting challenges ahead of you? Here’s what I think, Scorpio: Yes, you can. At least for right now, you are more flexible and multifaceted than you might imagine.
AQUARIUS
VIRGO
SAGITTARIUS
PISCES
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Attention! Warning! One of your signature fears is losing its chokehold on your imagination. If this trend continues, its power to scare you may diminish more than 70 percent by November 1. And then what will you do? How can you continue to plug away at your goals if you don’t have worry and angst and dread to motivate you? I suppose you could shop around for a replacement fear — a new prod to keep you on the true and righteous path. But you might also want to consider an alternative: the possibility of drawing more of the energy you need by feeding your lust for life.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You Sagittarians are famous for filling your cups so full they’re in danger of spilling over. Sometimes the rest of us find this kind of cute. On other occasions, we don’t enjoy getting wine splashed on our shoes. But I suspect that in the coming weeks, the consequences of your tendency to overflow will be mostly benign — perhaps even downright beneficial. So I suggest you experiment with the pleasures of surging and gushing. Have fun as you escape your niches and transcend your containers. Give yourself permission to seek adventures that might be too extravagant for polite company. Now here’s a helpful reminder from your fellow Sagittarian, poet Emily Dickinson: “You cannot fold a flood and put it in a drawer.”
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You know that inner work you’ve been doing with such diligence? I’m referring to those psycho-spiritual transformations you have been attending to in the dark . . . the challenging but oddly gratifying negotiations you’ve been carrying on with your secret self . . . the steady, strong future you’ve been struggling to forge out of the chaos? Well, I foresee you making a big breakthrough in the coming weeks. The progress you’ve been earning, which up until now has been mostly invisible to others, will finally be seen and appreciated. The vows you uttered so long ago will, at last, yield at least some of the tangible results you’ve pined for.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you can expect an unlikely coincidence or two in the coming days. You should also be alert for helpfully prophetic dreams, clear telepathic messages, and pokes from tricky informers. In fact, I suspect that useful hints and clues will be swirling in extra abundance, sometimes in the form of direct communications from reliable sources, but on occasion as mysterious signals from strange angels.
