Cover STORY

There’s nothing like feeling dwarfed by a troll to transport a person to Middle-earth, as Diane Mooshoolzadeh discovered on a recent visit to New Zealand. The Lord of the Rings landscapes were absolutely “wizard,” she said, and rambled wildly from vivid green fields in which herds of hairy-footed creatures were feasting to the bleak desolation of lonely mountains. What seemed most precious, she observed, was the presence of Maori culture in everyday life, which she found friendly, with nary a shadow. Diane had to ring down the curtain and head home all too soon, but she called it “a fantastic experience there and back again.”

LEAGUE EDUCATION. Today, IV is much more than a beautiful day at the beach. Yes, we boast a picturesque shoreline, but UCSB is now known as the top school in the country for Marine Biology. SBCC has been ranked the number-one community college in the nation. And, by adding better street

lighting, we’re making IV a safer and more connected community.

Thanks to a collaborative relationship among peace officers, residents, and visitors, IV has grown to show the world that it’s a beautiful environment in which to live, study, and enjoy.

But it’s up to all of us to do our part. Let’s be vigilant, keep it local, and make it safe.

Strive to be your best. Live a life that makes you proud. Give back to your community. Viva IV. Let’s keep it safe.

Let’s keep Isla Vista safe.

2016 Election Endorsements PaRt two

Here is the second installment of The Independent’s 2016 Election Endorsements. To see part one of our endorsements, visit independent.com/endorsements2016. As always, we urge you to vote, whether you agree with us or not.

State Assembly, 37th District: S. Monique Limón

pau l wellm an f i le photos

For the past five years, Monique Limón — a Democrat — has served on the Santa Barbara School Board and is running to fill the vacancy in the 37th Assembly District created when Das Williams was termed out. Limón’s passion has always been education. As both administrator and mentor at UCSB, her focus has been to expand educational access and success for minority students. On the school board, she’s been engaged, smart, and practical, seeking out consensus where possible but not afraid to vote against the majority when not. That she’s bilingual is a big plus. That she will be part of two of the most influential caucuses upon her arrival in Sacramento — the Women’s Caucus and the Latino Caucus — is an even bigger plus, not only for Limón but also for the district she represents.

U.S. Senate:

Kamala D. Harris

California Attorney General Kamala Harris is poised, polished, progressive, and very politically correct. She enjoys the full blessing of the Democratic Establishment. Unless abducted by space aliens, she will win.

State Senate, 19th District: Hannah-Beth Jackson

State Senator HannahBeth Jackson has not wasted a moment of her first term in Sacramento.

During those four years, Governor Jerry Brown has signed Jackson’s landmark equal-pay-forequal-work bill into law.

The bill puts the onus on private employers to legally justify any genderbased wage discrepancy between employees doing similar work. On paper, it doesn’t sound like much, but in the real world, it moves the needle significantly. Likewise, on the issue of date rape and sexual violence, Jackson has been legislatively prolific, introducing and passing bills that redefine what’s considered legal consent to better protect the victimized in educational settings.

One bill gives community colleges authority to discipline students for transgressions taking place off campus; another requires high school health classes to address issues of sexual consent. In response to last year’s Plains All American Pipeline oil spill, Jackson held oversight committee hearings in Santa Barbara — where locals attempted to hold the pipeline company accountable — and passed a bill requiring the state to better utilize fishing fleets for emergency cleanup operations. Jackson works hard, is accessible, and never gives up, no matter how many times the governor vetoes her bills trying to regulate the intrusion of drones.

After a long time coming, the powers that be broke ground on Tuesday at the northern branch jail site in Santa Maria, slated to open in spring 2019. Construction of the $111 million, 376-bed facility is expected to be about 75 percent funded by the state. Of the 200 people in attendance, one was detained by deputies after he reportedly yelled about the project’s burdensome costs to taxpayers and grabbed a shovel. Nevertheless, Sheriff Bill Brown (pictured above) appeared upbeat, saying in a long speech that the new jail would lead the way to “a new era of corrections” that will be “hallmarked” by “safer working conditions for custody staff.” After, he donned a cowboy-hat-shaped hardhat and climbed behind the controls of a backhoe to scoop a few loads of dirt.

Multimillion-Dollar Baby

Caruso’s Long-Awaited Miramar Hotel Finally Breaks Ground

S

by Tyler Hayden

porting crisp blue suits and gripping shiny gold shovels, Miramar developer Rick Caruso and his partners at Rosewood Hotels & Resorts turned over a bit of ceremonial dirt this Monday as construction on the much-anticipated luxury resort finally got underway.

“This project has been well worth the wait,” said Caruso, who purchased the 16-acre beachfront property nearly a decade ago but delayed construction during multiple rounds of intense permitting and financing negotiations.

Speaking to a crowd of Montecito movers and shakers, Caruso promised the Rosewood Miramar Beach Montecito resort would redefine the ultra-luxury market. “It’s going to be the finest resort on the California coast, and we want it to be one of the finest resorts in the

world,” he said. Building is estimated to cost around $200 million. The five-star hotel will feature 170 rooms, including lanai cottages and garden bungalows, as well as multiple pools, restaurants, a membership-only beach club, and a 6,000-square-foot ballroom.

Caruso also promised to honor the legacy of the original Miramar beach hotel, which was built in the 1880s as one of California’s first waterfront resorts. In the years leading up to its closure in 2000, the Miramar was popular among middle-income families and vacationers with its moderate room rates and amenities.“There’s a long history,” said Caruso.

“And it’s a long history that we want to celebrate and … be respectful of. We really want to be part of this community.”

Caruso Affiliated, the developer’s Los Angeles–based real estate firm, also announced Monday that Luigi Romaniello, currently with Rosewood Hotels in Abu

Radha Arora, president of Rosewood Hotel & Resorts

Dhabi, has been named managing director of the Montecito hotel. The chain has 18 locations around the world with plans to expand to 41 in the next three years. From 2006-2011, it managed the San Ysidro Ranch.

Caruso Affiliated has so far declined to disclose the Miramar’s projected room rates, explaining only that “the rooms, suites, and bungalows will be priced in line with similar five-star luxury resorts in the area and the greater Southern California region.” Cur-

Punk rock bassist Mike Davenport, a former member of the Santa Barbara–based band The Ataris, is being investigated for allegedly running multiple online real estate scams that have generated hundreds of customer complaints. On 10/5, FBI agents and area law enforcement raided call centers and offices in Lompoc and Santa Barbara reportedly associated with the Montecito-based website American Standard Online. The site offers lists of foreclosed or pre-foreclosed homes for purchase, but 235 customers complained the information was either out-of-date or wholly incorrect.

Davenport and business partner Susan Quinn also operated Your American Standard, American Housing Standard, and Evolution Lending, among others.

Tyler Alward was identified by police dogs on 10/7 as the man who allegedly robbed a Goleta 7-Eleven at gunpoint and then burgled a nearby home. After the 24-year-old was recorded on video at the convenience store at 1:45 a.m., two K-9 units and a helicopter went in search. Posing as a concerned citizen, Alward, stripped to his shorts, was questioning Sheriff’s deputies investigating the break-in on Coronado Avenue when the dogs and their handlers found him at the end of the scent trail from the 7-Eleven. Alward was further identified by his tattoos and stolen items at his home.

Dyslexia Demystified at Dos Pueblos

A

dvocates for struggling schoolchildren are coming together for Dyslexia Awareness Month, now unfolding across Santa Barbara Unified School District, with a highlight on October 13 as Kinko’s founder Paul Orfalea speaks at Dos Pueblos High School.

Orfalea has credited his entrepreneurial success with setting his mind to overcome the challenges associated with dyslexia, which is estimated to affect 20 percent of the general population to some degree. At the public school level, studies have shown that poor readers are much more likely to drop out of school, end up in jail, and struggle to find and keep meaningful jobs.

“It’s helpful for parents who want information about what to do, and it’s inspiring for kids to see [dyslexic] people who have done very well,” said Margie Yahyavi, executive director of the Santa Barbara Education Foundation, which hosts the annual event. Past speakers include authors Victor Villaseñor and John Rodrigues and Emmy-winning filmmaker Harvey Hubbell V, who directed 2009’s Dislecksia: The Movie, a documentary about his own difficulties with dyslexia.

In related news, state law AB 1369 has categorized difficulty with phonological processing as a learning disability. Dyslexia is in that category. Starting next year, the legislation requires the state to create dyslexia-focused teaching guidelines for school districts.

“There is no mystery: Kids with dyslexia can be taught how to read,” said Cheri Rae of Santa Barbara’s Dyslexia Community Foundation.“But they need a very specific approach,” one that includes one-on-one instruction from properly trained teachers. Therein lies the financial rub, she added, especially when dyslexia is likely affecting thousands of students at Santa Barbara Unified alone. The foundation — headed up by Rae, Brynn Crowe, and Christine Feldman, all of whom have dyslexic children —has been working with Santa Barbara’s Central Library on a grant-funded program to advance specialized teaching techniques, such as the Barton Method.

Orfalea will speak 7-8 p.m. at Dos Pueblos’s Elings Performing Arts Center (7266 Alam— Keith Hamm eda Avenue, Goleta). Admission is free.

MiraMar cont’d from p. 9 rently, nightly rates at the five-star Bacara Resort & Spa, Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore, and San Ysidro Ranch range from $500-$800 for a regular room and more than $2,000 for a suite.

Construction will generate 1,000 new jobs, with 200 full- and part-time jobs opening once the resort comes online, which is scheduled for summer 2018, Caruso Affiliated said. Work hours will be from 7 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, excepting state holidays.

The rough opening was pushed back from the date of April 30, 2018, that Caruso had promised for the Miramar’s kickoff party when the County Board of Supervisors gave its final blessing in April 2015. At that time, Caruso also said grading at the 1555 South Jameson Lane site would begin in February 2016; it is now scheduled to start next month.

The nine-month grading delay had prompted speculation and frustration among Montecitans, who had watched the property decay for 12 years under two previous owners before Caruso came in and tore the Miramar’s blue-and-white buildings down. Last month, Caruso Affiliated spokesperson Matt Middlebrook declined to comment on the Miramar’s financing or any other aspect of its construction timeline. “The project is moving forward,” he said. Rosewood, it has been reported, has no financial stake in the project. Caruso is funding the Miramar through a construction loan and the company’s own equity.

County officials stated Caruso has secured the necessary permits to begin grading and that building designs are being vetted on schedule. “We believe our reviews and approvals of various aspects of the project are progressing in a timely manner,” said county building and safety manager Massoud Abolhoda. Earlier this year, the Montecito Water District board voted to waive the rules of its water moratorium

for Caruso so he could replace three of the property’s five water meters with larger ones to comply with fire regulations.

Other Santa Barbara hoteliers have noted that a large number of luxury-market hotel rooms will come online at around the same time the Miramar is scheduled to open—La Entrada de Santa Barbara will soon boast 123 high-end hotel rooms along lower State Street; the Santa Barbara Inn has 70 newly renovated rooms right on the ocean; and the Fess Parker is toying with the idea of adding 60 new units on a nearby parcel of beachfront land. That surge, coupled with current high construction costs, may have spooked Caruso’s lenders and could explain the slow progress thus far, the hoteliers said.

As those gathered Monday traveled the short distance after the groundbreaking to Lucky’s steakhouse for lunch, they passed a small protest. The demonstrators held signs and gave statements about their displeasure with Caruso and his wife donating a combined $10,800 to the congressional campaign of County Supervisor Salud Carbajal, whose 1st District includes Montecito. In 2011, Caruso also donated $15,000 to Carbajal’s supervisorial reelection campaign.

The protestors claimed the financial contributions greased the wheels in getting the Miramar approved. In response, Carbajal’s campaign said his vote was based on the recommendations from independent planning commissions and that the project will benefit the county with annual tax revenues of $3.5 million. Caruso told a reporter the bribery allegations were ridiculous, that Carbajal was actually “very, very tough to deal with.”

The Miramar is Caruso’s first hotel venture. He previously built The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles and The Americana at Brand in Glendale, as well as condominiums and apartments throughout the Southland. n

the kids are all riGht? As the district considers big changes for the beloved K-8 school, Open Alternative School teacher Alex Tashma (center, with Aleena and Dylan) has a job to do.

Tough Times for Open aalternative School

W

ith enrollment low and costs high, Open Alternative School (OAS) finds itself under the microscope as Santa Barbara Unified School District decides whether its 88 students, ranging from transitional kindergarten through 8th grade, could be equally or better served in traditional classrooms. That question packed Tuesday evening’s school board meeting, as parents, teachers, and students past and present championed OAS’s whole-child approach to education, one that doesn’t teach for testing so much as to emotionally and socially empower kids with long-held techniques now considered ahead of their time. Parents and grandparents are also encouraged to participate in the classroom.

While supporters reiterated that education should not take a one-size-fits-all approach, they lamented being treated as the district’s black sheep.“Open Alternative is not dying; it’s being murdered,” OAS’s former nurse Deborah Pentland told boardmembers. Over the years, the school has suffered from transfer restrictions that have impacted enrollment, unkept promises of getting its own campus, and new teachers and administrators unaccustomed to its unorthodox style. Then came the district’s recent financial reveal. According to a cost-per-student breakdown presented by Assistant Superintendent Mitch Torina, OAS is on average more than twice as expensive as the district’s other elementary schools.

Though sitting boardmembers seemed optimistic— optimistic “We can make it work,” said Kate Parker— the long talk will likely be taken up by the new board majority that will be sworn Parker in on December 13. “Education is hard, and there’s no silver bullet,” added boardmember — Keith Hamm Monique Limón. “We really need to think creatively.”

A solid crowd of young students, veteran educators, and city dignitaries gathered at Santa Barbara Middle School (SBMS) last week for its 40th anniversary, an event made historic with the announcement

by Ernie Brooks Jr. (pictured right) that he was gifting the 31,500-square-foot Jefferson Campus schoolhouse and 10-acre Riviera parcel to the popular private school, which has been operating on the property since 2011. For 30 years, Jefferson Campus was home to Brooks Institute of Photography, founded by Brooks Sr. in 1945. Brooks Jr. said that educational visions he shares with SBMS Head of School Brian McWilliams prompted him to sign over the property. “Ernie Brooks is the man,” said McWilliams. “He really did something so incredible for this school and our community.” For more on the man and his gift, go to erniesgift.com.

Oil Drilling Proposal on the ropes r

P

acific Coast Energy Company’s (PCEC) plan to double the size of its existing 96 cyclic steaming wells project— project the first oil drilling proposal to go before the County Board of Supervisors since they adopted the state’s strictest greenhouse-gas-emission standards last year—is on life support.

At the eleventh hour, PCEC offered a handful of environmental amenities to its proposed project after the Planning Commission denied the project earlier this year. They included reducing the project’s carbon emissions — to zero, below the newly adopted restrictions — by purchasing offsets; accepting a labor agreement for infrastructure construction; and studying rare plants for five years on the oil field while limiting the drilling to areas outside of what is known as the Careaga tar zone to reduce seepage. Though the oil field has historically been prone to seepage, county energy staff said, oil seeps have increased since PCEC began cyclic steaming there in 2007.

That has since resulted in four leaks and necessitated the installation of 99 seep cans, environmentalists stressed. “Here they are coming and asking to double those operations without cleaning it up,” said Alicia Roessler, staff attorney at the Environmental Defense Center. Others contended any additional endangered-species protections are already covered under the law.

But oil company workers such as Cody Miller, holding his 10-month-old baby, argued energy companies provide some of the county’s only well-paying jobs. Plus, they charged, the Orcutt Hill has been a state-designated oil field since the late 19th century.

Given the new offerings, Supervisor Doreen Farr suggested county energy staff bring back more detailed project options, with outright denial still on the table. Even though county supervisors Peter Adam and Steve Lavagnino—who asked, among several questions, if carbon offsets could be purchased locally—appeared poised to approve the motion, Supervisor Salud Carabjal, who is running for Congress, said unusually, “I’m going to wait to vote at the end after Mr. Adam.” Supervisor Janet Wolf expressed an unwillingness to approve the project whatsoever, saying it “just about knocked me off my seat every time” the seepage issue came up. The matter will return to the board on November 1.

Landlords Oppose i.V. Tax ampaign finance reports show that supporters of Measure F, the ballot initiative to impose an 8 percent utility users tax on Isla Vista residents, have out-fundraised their opponents by more than two to one.

Should it pass, Measure F, accompanied by Measure E, which would also need to pass, would establish a community services district in the unincorporated area of Isla Vista and provide it with a half million dollars to operate. The concept came out of legwork by students studying Isla Vista’s history of impermanent governing bodies failing to bring a voice to the predominately college town. And it was put into action by Williams’s staff — namely his right-hand woman, Darcel Elliott— Elliott who held weekly meetings over the last two years. Supporters argue the utility tax is egalitarian because property owners and renters alike would pay the estimated $5–$10 monthly fee.

But opponents charge that any new tax will be recouped in the already steep rental prices.

So far, only landlords or people associated with property management companies have sponsored the campaign against Measure F. Notably, 29 individuals connected to Wolfe & Associates Property Services contributed $10,290, prompting Measure F proponents to file a complaint with the Fair Political Practices Commission. Asked about this, Chuck Eckert —attorney, property owner, and treasurer for Isla Vistans Against Higher Taxes—said,“One can logically assume [property management companies] asked for the contributions.” But he added that any amount “would be personally up to them.” He noted property owners in the past have contributed to Isla Vista issues such as graffiti abatement.

Eckert explained that landlords opposed the utility users tax but not the community services district itself. Williams failed to include any provisions they specifically asked for at the start, said Eckert, expressing frustration, for instance, that property owners could not — Kelsey Brugger serve on the district board if they did not live in Isla Vista.

purred by the interminable drought and the drying up of Lake Cachuma, serious political battles are being fought for seats on two South Coast water boards: Goleta and Montecito. Although the Goleta water board cannot make land-use or development decisions, the race is emerging as a referendum on new construction that is drastically altering the city. Incumbents Lauren Hanson, Bill Rosen, and Rick Merrifield, backed by the Democratic Party machine, tout the district’s impressive conservation program and getting its books in order. Rosen has raised $10,200—$8,000 of which he loaned himself — and Hansen,, $9,625. Merrifield has not raised enough to trigger county reporting requirements.

The two challengers, Bob Geis and Jean Blois, have diametrically opposed positions to one another: Geis, the former county Auditor-Controller, is concerned not only about the rapid growth but also that the present Goleta water board has prickly relations with other water agencies and has not found new supplies. Geis, a lifelong Democrat, raised $2,140. Blois, a former water boardmember and Goleta mayor who is strongly backed by the Chamber of Commerce and business interests and more amenable to growth, raised $10,400.

In Montecito, the race is even more convoluted. Incumbent Charles Newman, who raised $12,000, is running as an experienced agent of change, pushing a resistant board to consider reclaimed water. One challenger, Tom Mosby, who ran the water district for 17 years and refuses to even consider reclaimed water, has raised no money.

A slate of challengers, Tobe Plough and Floyd Wicks, are campaigning to negotiate a deal with the City of Santa Barbara’s desalination plant and to pursue recycled water with the Montecito Sanitary District. Plough and Wicks have each raised $36,000, all from an identical pool of donors. Wicks ran a private water company, Golden State, for 30 years, where dissatisfied ratepayers voted for a multimillion-dollar tax to buy out the company.

— Nick Welsh Wicks noted that he had left Golden State by then.

An 85-year-old driver accidentally accelerated his red Prius through the door at around 9:45 a.m., ramming the checkout area and injuring three customers. The driver and two customers were treated at the scene, and the man, 39, was taken to Cottage Hospital, where doctors were able to restore circulation to his lower leg. Drugs and alcohol were not considered factors in the crash, and the driver was released. The store remained closed for several hours until Building and Safety could inspect the structure and deputies could investigate the incident.

city Come January 1, short-term vacation rentals will be vulnerable to an indiscriminate crackdown, City Attorney Ariel Calonne told councilmembers on 10/11. “There will be no enforcement priorities; we will pursue each and every violation.” The New Year deadline caps the city’s enforcement phase-in, which for the past year focused on units with the most neighborhood complaints and hosts who haven’t paid taxes on their cash flow. The enforcement exception is any permitted rental in an R-4 or commercial zone. As it turns out, those are very few and far between. And increasingly, owners of such properly zoned rentals are realizing that the city’s permitting process, by design, is very expensive and slow, a reflection of long-held growthmanagement measures.

The stakes, Stein said, could not be higher.

“We are fighting as if our lives depended on it, which, in fact, they do.”

Day-Use, Camping Fees Going Up

S

tarting November 1, day-use and camping fees at several Los Padres National Forest destinations will increase as private concessionaire Parks Management Company begins its multiyear contract to oversee operation and maintenance of the federally owned recreational sites. “Fees will go up, but we are expecting the sites to be maintained better than we can do it,” said Forest Recreation Officer Jeff Benson.“Our recreation budgets have been cut by 50 percent in the last 10 years. Even with the Adventure Pass, we haven’t been able to keep up.”

The Forest Service launched the Adventure Pass program nearly 20 years ago, charging $5 for the day-use parking permit to help pay for site upkeep. The program met fierce opposition from those against paying for access to publicly owned lands. At the same time, the Forest Service contracted campground and picnic-area management to private concessionaires, such as Rocky Mountain Recreation Company, which has operated along Paradise Road in the Santa Barbara backcountry until now. Under Parks Management in the Santa Barbara district, the Adventure Pass will no longer be valid; day-use fees will double to $10.

For the past several years, there were six concessionaires doing business in Los Padres.

This new agreement consolidates management solely with Parks Management, an established concessionaire based out of Templeton, in San Luis Obispo County.“This represents another level of cost for forest visitors,” said Alasdair Coyne of Keep the Sespe Wild. “In the Ojai district, sites for car camping that were once accessible with the [$5] Adventure Pass will now cost $20 per day. That’s a big jump. It’s becoming more expensive for the average person to visit the forest, and that’s a pity. Unfortunately, that’s the way things are going nationwide.

There’s been more privatization of public lands.” Benson added that after two years, Parks Management can request another fee increase, but it would need Forest Service approval.

way, baby. Twenty years ago, it would take The Vagina Monologues to crack the code of silence on the V-word in polite society. This past week, Donald Trump infamously followed suit—spectacularly self-destructing by taking the P-word’s name in vain —obliterating in the process the last vestiges of what once was a Republican Party by boasting how he could do anything to women and get away with it. “Grab them by the pussy,” he crowed in front of a live camera 11 years ago.

“You can do anything.”

The bad news is—as way too many women can attest—he’s absolutely right.

The great news is—at least this time—he’s dead wrong.

The Donald may no longer have any casinos in his quiver, but that didn’t stop him from doubling down. At this Sunday’s presidential debate, Trump’s wife, Melania, showed up wearing a red Gucci blouse known technically in the fashion trade as a “pussy bow.” And Trump’s first whistle-stop after the debate took place in a place called Beaver County, Pennsylvania.

Such observations, no doubt, are inexcusably juvenile. If so, I make no excuses. In the same vein, it’s worth noting that the only reason Bill Brown is now sheriff of Santa Barbara County is because his predecessor, Sheriff Jim Anderson, sat idly by and did nothing while one of his Big Donors “bitch-slapped” another of his Big Donors. Had any descriptor been used by the reporting party other than the B-word, the story would not have had such long and sturdy legs, Anderson would not have looked so feckless, and Brown would no doubt still be police chief of Lompoc. Just this week, it should be keenly noted, Brown broke ground on a new jail for North County.

By the standards of Santa Barbara County, this is a monumental accomplishment on par with Moses parting the Red Sea. Neither of Brown’s two predecessors ever came remotely close, and not for any lack of trying.

History is weird.

Humans are weirder.

The most immediate beneficiary of Trump’s spectacular political suicide in Santa Barbara is congressional candidate Salud Carbajal, still smarting from his anything but smart remarks equating Lompoc and armpits. (I understand armpit lovers were incensed by the comparison and may sit this election out.)

When news of the Trump tape broke, Carbajal went on the attack, demanding his Republican opponent— Justin Fareed —disavow Trump and all his works.

For all his outsider talk, Fareed danced around this like the consummate insider he’d like to become. Throughout the primary, he spoke Trump-code speak without talking Trump. On immigration, for example, Fareed vowed to fix “the leaky pipe” when talking about the border but shied away from Trump’s vast border wall. Throughout the primary campaign, Fareed took pains to stress he’d support whichever candidate his party nominated at the convention in Cleveland without expressing fealty to anyone.

But Fareed ultimately tipped his hand — or had his hand tipped — by Jim Buck-

Katcho Achadjian (left) and Justin Fareed

Since the primary, Fareed has failed to kiss and make up with Republicans partial to State Senator Katcho Achadjian.

Fareed may be bursting with “fresh” ideas and “fresh energy,” but efforts by area reporters trying to divine his thoughts about the multitude of outrageous comments emanating from Trump’s oral cavity since the convention found themselves “fresh out of luck.” But when the tapes were released showing Trump confessing to being a serial sexual predator— Santa Barbara District Attorney Joyce Dudley

For someone looking to shake up the status quo, young Fareed sounds as if he can split hairs with the most grizzled of Washington insiders. For the record, there are no statements in which Fareed affirmatively endorsed Trump by name. So, technically speaking, he is correct.

It’s worth noting, however, that in the immediate aftermath of the Montecito Journal paul wellman file photo

from left:

Tom Barrack, Donald Trump, and Mike Stoker

stated that touching a woman’s clothed butt, groin, or breasts without consent constitutes misdemeanor sexual battery and that those convicted can be required to register as sex offenders—Fareed ran out of dancing room.

Even before the Trump tapes, Carbajal was painting Fareed as Trump Lite; after all, wasn’t Fareed’s middle name “Donald”? Last Friday evening, Fareed’s campaign issued a terse, two-sentence statement, describing Trump’s statements as “disgusting and inexcusable.”

Women, he added, should be treated “with the highest regard and respect.”As to whether Fareed continued to support Trump, however, the silence was deafening. In response to obvious follow-up questions from the media — not to mention jeering cat-calls from the Carbajal campaign —the Fareed campaign sent out Response Two the following day

article, Fareed did not call up and demand a clarification. By way of comparison, when I described Fareed as a Montecito resident in an article a few weeks ago, I got a quick call from his campaign spokesperson, Christiana Purves, correcting me. Fareed, she stated, is a resident of Goleta, not Montecito. When I was a little slow getting the correction posted online, Purves brought that to my attention, as well.

In stark contrast, it would not be until October 10 — this past Monday afternoon —that the Fareed campaign got around to notifying Buckley and the Montecito Journal that what he wrote about Fareed endorsing Trump before the June primary was not quite right. Buckley, for the record, stands by the quotes he attributed to Fareed regarding the need for executives to occupy the Execuindependent.com

tive Office but acknowledged it was he who wrote, “Fareed supports Donald Trump for president.”

As a practical matter, it doesn’t really matter. Fareed’s goose appears to be already cooked. Trump is a political albatross few Santa Barbara candidates could hope to survive. That being said, it’s worth noting Santa Barbara boasts some high-powered Trump supporters, none more so than Tom Barrack, owner of Happy Canyon Vineyard but more significantly Jefe del Mundo for Colony Capital, a multibillion-dollar investment juggernaut out of Los Angeles. Not only did Barrack speak on Trump’s behalf at the convention, but he also helped start a super PAC — Rebuilding America Now —to get Trump elected. Barrack initially announced the super PAC had $32 million in donations committed, but as of the last reporting period, only $2.1 million were actually in the bank. Barrack was recently on Charlie Rose explaining why the man we all saw on the Trump videotape and at the debate isn’t the real Donald Trump.

Barrack is an exceptionally convincing man, but there’s only so much even he can do.

As a footnote to history, it was former Santa Barbara county supervisor Mike Stoker who got the “Lock ’er Up” chant going at the GOP convention. Stoker was a whip in charge of about 70 California delegates, and when New Jersey Governor Chris Christie started his prosecutorial call-and-response about Hillary Clinton and the emails, Stoker leaped in with his chant. First it was 70. Then it was 256 delegates. Pretty soon, it was the whole hall.

Since the primary, Fareed has failed to kiss and make up with Republicans partial to State Senator Katcho Achadjian, the candidate favored by party graybeards whom Fareed slimed with a last-minute attack ad calling out Achadjian’s ethics in a complicated water deal. Katcho demonstrated himself to be a horrible campaigner and a man of little fire. But among Republicans over 40 years old, Katcho is revered—not just liked—as a paragon of human decency. For him to be attacked this way by a fellow Republican was just not right. He deserved better. Larry Lavagnino, the Republican former mayor of Santa Maria and father of County Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, has endorsed Carbajal, even though he’s a Democrat. Brooks Firestone, grand pooh-bah of the Republican Establishment and a close friend of Katcho’s, was positively withering when asked if he’d endorse Fareed.“I’m not giving much thought to the 24th District race,” he said. When pressed, Firestone displayed uncharacteristic impatience. “I already answered you. I’m not giving any thought to this race.”

On the flip side, the Democrat Machine has left few stones unturned registering new voters. The numbers are striking. Typically, Democrats enjoy a 3 percent advantage in registered voters in the 24th Congressional District. A month after the June primary, the registration gap was twice that — 6.3 percent.

Today, it’s 8.25 percent. If present trends continue, it could be 9 percent come Election Day. Like I say, we’ve come a long way. But not nearly as far as we’re going to get.

How Revelations of Trump’s Lewd ’Tude Flung His Campaign into Freefall

S

oon after the Republicans’ 2012 presidential defeat, the party’s national committee released a high-profile political “postmortem.” It concluded, among other things, that the GOP must “improve our brand with women throughout the country.”

How’s that workin’ out for you?

As every schoolchild knows, a bombshell leaked video from 2005, showing Donald Trump lewdly boasting about his taste and techniques for sexually assaulting women, struck and transformed the Republican nominee’s campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton, 48 hours before the rivals met in their second debate on October 9.

During that event, Trump wildly tried to fix the problem by (a) accusing Clinton of scheming to cover up her husband’s illegal ravishments of women; (b) vowing to throw her into federal prison after ordering his Attorney General to launch a Banana Republican investigation of her email practices (first the sentence, then the trial!); and (c) identifying her as “the devil.”

Next up: their third and final face-off on October 19, where the early betting line says The Donald calls for her to be burned at the stake.

THIS JUST IN: By now, the pervvy details of what the vulgarian Trump privately leered about a soap opera actress to the male cast and crew aboard an Access Hollywood shuttle bus, including his own predilection for tongue-thrusting and crotchgrabbing, are old news; check your Google machine, if you’ve just returned from a Tesla visit to Mars.

What is new, however, are just-released survey results demonstrating the full scope of how Trump’s candid pornographic pronouncements have altered the race, just over three weeks before the November 8 election, largely because he has alienated women voters:

 Electoral College: A Marist survey

in Pennsylvania, which is crucial to any Trump hope of winning the Electoral College, shows Clinton ahead by 12 points, fueled by a massive 53 to 33 percent lead among likely women voters; in Florida, which Trump must win to capture the presidency, she has regained a narrow lead, because women voters now support her by 13 points, 51 to 38 percent.

 Key demographics: An NBC News/

SurveyMonkey poll immediately after the debate showed that the pivotal group of white, college-educated women, by a 66 to 13 percent ratio, said that Clinton beat Trump; more ominously for Republicans, 80 percent of women registered as nonpartisan independents said Trump does not have the personality and temperament to be president.

FUN WITH NUMBERS: Because Clinton stomps Trump among minority voters, he needs to win a huge margin — some estimates put it as high as 70 percent — among whites. Although he still leads substantially among white men, his dwindling support among white women is, to use one of his favorite phrases, a disaster.

In 2012, President Obama beat Mitt Romney by four points, 51.1 to 47.2 percent, in the popular vote (resulting in a 332 to 206 Electoral College landslide), because he won women by 11 points, according to exit polls that year.

Romney, however, won among married women, and came close to the White House because he carried white women with a college degree by six points (52 to 46 percent), according to research by the Monmouth University Polling Institute. According to Monmouth, however, Trump already was losing that group to Clinton last summer by 30 points (27 to 57 percent).

That, of course, not only was before the sex-talk tape and his mansplaining performances in two debates but also preceded his bizarre and much-publicized tweet war against beauty queen Alicia Machado over her weight.

“These are fatal numbers,” NBC polling analyst Steve Kornacki said about Trump’s low standing among women.

STRANGE BUT TRUE: Trump prides himself on having a low-overhead campaign apparatus. That may explain why, after all the brouhaha over his foulmouthed commentary, his handlers failed to think deeply about where they sent him to his first post-debate rally.

As the feminist website Jezebel duly and dryly noted: “Still recovering from that distant, hazy moment four days ago when he was revealed to enjoy grabbing pussies, Donald Trump hosted his first postdebate rally at Ambridge Area Senior High School in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The first place he went after the debate was Beaver County. Donald Trump is in a place called Beaver County.” n You could look it up.

CITY LAGS: Santa Barbara used to be consid-

ered to be on the cutting edge of progressive city management. Now it’s looking more like a dull spoon.

The latest cringing reaction to the drought is rather than saving 1,000 precious acre-feet of water a year by banning lawn sprinkling, the City Council majority prefers to roll the dice. It’s taking a high-risk chance that we may not need the water. Maybe.

Cachuma is not much more than a mud puddle. Desal, the promise of which so many have knelt in religious-like devotion, is fading like a Mojave Desert mirage.

It’s coming. It’s coming this fall, we were told. Well, no. Delayed again. Maybe January, but as colleague Nick Welsh wrote, that’s looking “iffier and iffier.”

Judging by how Santa Barbarans reacted during the last drought, I know they’d respond like good citizens to a sprinkling ban. There were no “water police” then, and no need for them now.

Why do I get the feeling that some on the council don’t want to stir up the voters, the real estate market, and tourists with a ban?

CITY GETS A D: The American Lung Asso-

ciation has flunked Santa Barbara’s smoking laws with a big fat D, while awarding county government and Carpinteria with Bs. In this health-conscious era, you’d think

the City Council would react to our serious shortcomings with alarm, but no. Our fellow cities of Goleta, Buellton, Santa Maria, and Lompoc have banned smoking at beaches and parks, but not Santa Barbara. Our smoking ordinance is also way out of sync with state law, according to the Lung Association.

Showing little concern about the risks of lung cancer that bar patrons face, some on the council voiced sympathy for bar owners, who pleaded that outdoor smoking there not be restricted. Business might be hurt, they argued (although perhaps not at cancer wards).

The council kicked the issue of updating the smoking ordinance off to the dubious consideration of its ordinance committee.

Huguette Clark, worth an estimated $300 million, wrote checks with abandon, showering friends and others with millions of dollars, but she died owing the IRS $16 million-$18 million in gift-tax penalties.

Frank Mitsugu Fujii 10/25/17-09/26/16

Frank Mitsugu Fujii peacefully passed away at home with family at his side on September 26, 2016. The oldest of two sons, Frank was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to parents Kintsuchi and Tatsu Fujii on October 25, 1917.

Frank was a long-time resident of Santa Barbara, moving here at the age of nine. He attended a oneroom grammar school on the Mesa, Santa Barbara Junior and Senior High schools, as well as the State Teachers College on the Riviera. He left Santa Barbara for four years during WWII when he was interned at the Gila River internment camp in Arizona.

After returning from Gila, Frank worked on the Williams estate in Montecito for 27 years. He also worked part-time which eventually lead to a permanent position at Lotusland in Montecito. Frank worked with Madame Ganna Walska to create the Japanese Garden of her dreams. In 1972 Madame offered Frank a full-time position in the Japanese garden and he remained employed there until after his 90th birthday.

Frank was dedicated to his family. As a senior in high school, Frank took on the responsibility of the family farm after an accident left his father unable to do the work. He continued to support his parents until their deaths in 1957 and 1983.

Frank met his future wife, Dorothy Nomura in 1948 and they were married in 1952. They raised their three daughters on the Williams estate.

In 1989 Frank and Dorothy moved to the Las Positas area where they enjoyed watching their treasured granddaughters grow up.

He lived life fully, and in deep appreciation for what he was given, always observing and learning from all that he encountered. He worked tirelessly and without complaint to provide a good life for his parents, his brother and his wife and daughters. Frank lived his life much in the way of the austere Japanese gardens he admired—its strength and beauty in the understated. Frank was a peaceful, caring soul with a great sense of humor that touched many lives and will truly be missed.

Frank is survived by his wife of 64 years, Dorothy, and three daughters, Roberta Cook (Steve), Melanie Fujii, Doreen Sasaki (Glenn) and his two granddaughters, Allie Ester (Chris) and Morgan Cook (fiancée Jonathan Russell). Frank also leaves behind his younger brother, Robert K. Fujii.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Eric Trautwein, and the Visiting 18

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Lotusland (695 Ashley Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93108), or to the Visiting Nurses and Hospice Care (512 E. Gutierrez Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93103) in Frank’s memory.

Armando Quiros

Armando Quiros died peacefully in his sleep on the last day of July.

He left from Serenity House where he was attended by family and many friends. His memorial service was held Aug 4 at Congregation B’nai B’rith, where nephew Mark read Armando’s Ethical Will.

Armando converted to Reform Judaism in early 1999 (mid 5759).

From age 74 until his death at 90½ he reveled in Jewish celebration, practice, study and Learning, the last few years with his loving companion Sylvia Glass. He embraced the call to be sensitive to ongoing divine revelation and was delighted that Judaism required no abdication of his mind. He had indeed come home.

Armando was a pioneering figure in Santa Barbara psychotherapy and counseling. In the mid ‘70’s, as clinical director of Zona Seca, he enlisted Dave D. to start Spanish speaking Alcoholic Anonymous meetings, which are still flourishing today.

Not an alcoholic himself, he very much wanted to be remembered as a friend of AA. In the mid ‘80’s he also co-started Depressives Anonymous. He gave a tremendous boost to Spanish speaking psychotherapy and supervised hundreds of interns, along with his own extensive private practice.

In ’91 when he joined Klein Bottle as co-clinical director he was starting to notice how many Jewish people were entering his life. Soon after, he met, and soon betrothed Ruth Glater (z’’l), a lovely person, brilliant scientist, talented artist and enthusiastic Learned Jew. They spent many happy years together, loving, practicing, celebrating and Learning Jewishly. Louis Zandalasini, Ruth’s godson, tells how Ruth re-decorated her whole house after meeting Armando.

Psychology had come to Father Armando in the mid ’60’s when he was a Franciscan priest at Mission Santa Barbara (he also would say Mass for IHM at La Casa de Maria).

That was during Vatican II, and of

OCTOBER 13, 2016

course there were big differences between the liberal and conservative friars. These were to be reconciled in encounter groups facilitated by psychologists working with Carl Rogers, the developer of ClientCentered Therapy.

Father Armando’s life changed forever in his first encounter group.

Suddenly he could be more trusting of his inner guide and less reliant on outside authority; more open to the goodness of people and less concerned with Original Sin; and he could believe his experiences rather than received ideology.

Armando moved with the Franciscans to the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, but soon moved out of there to reside with others that were counseling those afflicted with the Vietnam war. That was the beginning of Armando’s counseling career and the beginning of the end of his priesthood.

Throughout his life he was a brilliant pianist and prolific poet.

Armando came to Santa Barbara in 1939 to join the Franciscans. He was 14 years old. He studied and taught and Learned at St. Anthony’s.

He was a very bright and talented student, very musical and friendly.

As he became a priest he observed the contradiction and inhumanity in what he was taught. He noticed many rules and actions that did not have the authority claimed for them.

He anguished over his brother’s loving and sincere yet “invalid” marriage, and many other forbidden unions. He struggled with a “just war;” the role of women in the Church; and the divide between clergy and lay people. All that earned him a reputation for being a troublemaker in the Franciscans.

When he was promoting encounter groups an old priest said: “Armando has ruined the Franciscans on the West Coast.” He received a reprimand from the Vatican’s Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (previously called the Office of the Inquisition). He could not accept John 8:22 and extensively studied Anti-Semitism as Church policy.

He was cautioned against excessive Bonaventurian Centering Prayer.

Armando was ordained in 1951.

Father Armando left the priesthood in 1974. He felt like his face fell off.

Born as Frankie in a poor, happy, proudly Mexican-American family, his name was changed to Armand when he was in seminary and he changed it again to Armando because he was working with so many Spanish speakers.

Frankie had 2 older brothers and despite his small size he liked to box with them. He was so quick he could skip in for a couple of punches and skip out before they could reach him. He was also a self-taught reader, learning by begging his family to read the funnies with him. He was soon directed to the dictionary and became an excellent speller.

Also in the dictionary Frankie found forbidden words, whose definitions led to more forbidden words, which excited him greatly. This started his love of Learning.

He never stopped.

A gathering for all who knew Armando is happening at La Casa de Maria 4 to 7 pm on Thurs, 27 Oct.

Roslyn Nexer Freeman 05/29/50-10/01/16

Living in joy and laughter is how we will always remember Roslyn Nexer Freeman, who passed away on October 1, 2016. Born May 29, 1950, in Philadelphia, she was the devoted daughter of Max and Sylvia Nexer and a proud graduate of Miami Beach Senior High School.

Since arriving from Miami in 2011, Roslyn loved Santa Barbara’s beautiful and inclusive community, and the special friendships that it fostered.

Roslyn was known for her sense of style, continued exploration of spirituality, and her pleasure of sharing with others. She loved flowers, dancing, making art, her Jewish heritage, and traveling the world.

She was an enthusiastic participant at Santa Barbara City College’s Center for Lifelong Learning.

Her greatest pleasure and pride derived from her sons, Richard and Adam Freeman. They were the light of her life and she basked in their accomplishments and their love.

They adored her.

Roslyn's charm and vivacity captured many hearts and she will be profoundly missed, but always remembered with gratitude for touching so many lives with her outrageous humor and her zest for the simple spontaneities of life.

Memorial services will be held on Sunday, October 9, at 12:30pm at Lakeside Memorial Park in Miami.

Sixta Tulia Gomez Mullin 1921-2016

Sixta Tulia Gomez Mullin, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, died on September 7, 2016, in Santa Barbara, California, due to complications from a stroke.

Born in Panama City, Republic of Panama, she was the last survivor of 10 siblings, most of whom lived well into their 80’s and 90’s. Sixta used to credit her father’s daily dose of a raw egg and cod liver oil delivered to each child standing in a line for helping them to achieve such longevity. She was 95 years old.

Sixta attended the St. Francis Academy in Panama, and she

enjoyed a happy childhood, full of pranks and laughter. While at a party hosted by the President of Panama, Sixta danced with an American, Wallace Key Mullin (“Key”). She didn’t know how to dance, but something caught his attention. She recounted that for weeks after the dance, he would drive his car during lunchtime around and around the block where she lived. Key finally got up the courage to knock on the door and ask permission from Sixta’s father to be able to date her. Permission granted, the happy couple always went out with one of Sixta’s sisters in tow as a chaperone. Years later they admitted that they’d drop the sister off at the movies with popcorn so that they could have some time alone!

Sixta and Key got married on July 1, 1944 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in the Canal Zone. They honeymooned throughout Central America. They settled in the Canal Zone until 1946 when the war ended. At that time they took a ship, the “Cristobal,” up to New York and traveled across the United States by train.

Key had formerly worked at the Biltmore Hotel in Montecito for 11 years and he remembered the beauty of Santa Barbara. They eventually settled in Carpinteria and operated the Valley Cleaners for a number of years. Sixta had a lovely soprano voice and she enjoyed singing in the choir at St. Joseph’s Church.

In 1978 Sixta and Key moved to the San Vicente Mobile Home Park in Santa Barbara where they made many friends and enjoyed countless happy moments. After her husband, Key, passed away in 1987, Sixta remained especially proud of her home, and she spent many hours keeping her garden and house to perfection. Her yard filled with beautiful cymbidiums in full bloom was truly a sight to see! She especially enjoyed decorating her house for Christmas, and with the aid of her friend, Julien Peche, she would proudly put on a grand display every year.

When maintaining her mobile home became too much of a challenge for her, Sixta eventually moved in 2015 to the Californian skilled nursing facility in Santa Barbara.

While at the Californian, Sixta rediscovered the joy of living and especially enjoyed her bingo and domino games. Everything was put to the side when it was time to go play bingo! She took to wearing a lovely flower in her hair every day, and her “spitfire” ways were endearing to staff and other residents. The stroke she suffered unexpectedly cut short her happy and healthy existence at the Californian.

Sixta is predeceased by: Wallace Key Mullin, her husband; Angel Maria Gomez de San Miguel y Paris, her father; Antonia Elena Vallega, her mother; her sisters, Josefina, Maria Elena, Rosa Elvira, Aura, Matilde and Rebeca; her brothers, Julio, Jose Alfonso and Luis; and by her daughter, Sandra.

Sixta is survived by her son Ronald Key Mullin (and Cathie Mullin); her daughter Deborah Ann Kay Mullin (and Glenn Reinhart); her grandchildren Scott Mullin (and

in memoriam courtesy

obituaries continued Kelly Mullin), Timothy Mullin (and Shannon Mullin), and Davis Reinhart; and her great-grandchildren, Marcella, Jameson, Danielle and McKenna.

Sixta’s family would like to thank her many friends at the San Vicente Park and at the Californian for the joy and laughter they brought to Sixta’s life. Her family is especially grateful to the Sansum Clinic, Cottage Hospital and Isabel Isaac for their excellent care of Sixta over her later years. And finally, words cannot describe the gratitude the family feels towards Serenity House. The loving staff there helped to bring peace to us all.

Sixta has been cremated and her ashes will be scattered in the ocean off Santa Barbara to join her husband. A celebration of life reception will be announced at a later date.

COACH: Andrew Darke’s coaching for Little League teams was only a part of his life, but his friendship and demeanor on the field profoundly affected the players and the parents.

andrew David Darke 1965-2016

A

Dale Sullivan 06/17/74-10/16/15

Little League Baseball Coach

By t h e D a r k e Fa m i ly ndrew David Darke, a most compassionate

and large-hearted man, passed away suddenly on September 26. Ironically, this bighearted man was taken from us because of an undetected enlarged heart.

Andrew’s passion for the outdoors initiated in Portland, Oregon, where he was born August 18, 1965. He attended college in upstate New York at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), where he studied industrial engineering and received an ROTC scholarship. Upon graduation, Andrew moved around the country while serving in the U.S. Navy, after which he retired as a commander. He received the Navy Commendation Medal for heroism during the Persian Gulf War. Andrew worked in the semiconductor industry in Northern California.While living there, he met his future wife, Debbie, on a night out with friends. He convinced Debbie to take his business card but only after asking her several times. She finally took that business card, recalling, “He wore his heart on his sleeve and was not too smooth.” If asked,Andrew would say he “was actually so smooth that he was able to appear not smooth.” On that first date, Andrew’s humor, intelligence, positive energy, and kindness captured Debbie’s heart.And by the end of the date, Andrew told her,“I don’t want to freak you out, but one day I’m going to marry you.” Seven months later, true to his promise, he did marry her.

About a month before they celebrated their first wedding anniversary, they had their first baby, Isabella. They put their roots down in Goleta, and over the course of the following six years, their sons, Drew and Gino, were born. Their lives and their family were beautifully complete. They felt so rich, and it had nothing to do with money. This November would have marked their 20th wedding anniversary.

Andrew worked as a dental consultant for Mercer Advisors and Patterson Dental for almost 14 years.

He enjoyed talking with his many clients across the country and utilized both his people skills and financial skills to create a great career. Andrew continued with the Navy Reserves until he retired as the local Blue and Gold Officer, interviewing prospective Naval Academy students in the area.

Andrew was all about his family, and together he and Debbie built their life as a strong team. The

They also volunteered countless hours at Noah’s Ark Preschool and Isla Vista Youth Projects. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.

She is survived by her daughters Marcy Owens (Bob) of Los Osos; Kathleen Wilson-Terry (Mike) of Avila Beach; LuAnn Miller (Bill) of Goleta; and Lana Arnold (Rus) of Oliver, Georgia. She was “Mimi” to Steve Wilson (Kammi); Ryan Miller (Jenna); Nathan Miller; Tyler and Tanner Starbard; and Naomi, Zachary and Madison Arnold. She was blessed with two great-grandsons, Wyatt and Walker Wilson. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 62 years, Clifford “Johnny” Johnson.

Connie will be dearly missed, but we are grateful for sharing a life well lived and a woman well loved.

A memorial service will be held Sunday, October 16, at 1:00 p.m. at Goleta Presbyterian Church. The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Isla Vista Youth Projects in Isla Vista.

family loved having people over for BBQs and swimming. Hikes, beach walks, and special family vacations brought them together even more closely. Andrew gave everything to Debbie and their kids, appreciating each for who they were. He rarely missed his children’s events, and he balanced his work life so he could coach or manage both of his sons’ baseball teams.

Andrew’s skill as a coach was unparalleled, and it wasn’t a matter of wins and losses. He was profoundly aware at all times that he was being watched by the kids, recalled his fellow coach and friend Tim Hoover, knowing that youth baseball taught subtle life lessons.

He approached each practice with a genuine commitment to serving each player on his team — no matter their skill level. Andrew encouraged every player with respect, and he treated every player with compassion and sincere joy for their success. And that included opposing players. His contagious smile and energetic personality even sent his positive influence out to the parents in the stands.

Andrew, with his brilliant, double-dimpled smile, was the epitome of love. He was unconditional and unbridled with his love. Although his 51 years were cut way too short, he made an indelible mark that will never be forgotten. We find comfort in knowing Andrew lived his life to the fullest and was wholly engaged with those around him. The hole in our hearts that cannot be replaced will forever remind us of a life made better by knowing him.

Andrew is survived by his wife, Debbie; daughter, Isabella; sons, Drew and Gino; and his dog, Jeter. He is also survived by his father, Jim Darke; sisters, Linda Lawler (Jim) and Paula Hoiland (Ken); brother, John Darke; and many nieces and nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother, Barbara; grandmother, Fern; and nephew, Brian Lawler.

A celebration of life will be held at Goleta Valley South Little League (GVSLL), 4540 Hollister Avenue in Santa Barbara, on October 15 at 3 p.m. Guests are asked to bring blankets or chairs.

In honor of Andrew, donations may be made to the Dream Foundation, GVSLL, or to a scholarship fund for the kids (“Darke Family Memorial Fund,” set up by friends). Checks payable to Charles Schwab & Co. may be mailed to Mercer Advisors Inc., 1801 East Cabrillo n Boulevard, Santa Barbara, CA 93108.

Constance “Connie” Johnson 02/25/21-10/02/16

Constance “Connie” Johnson passed away peacefully at the age of 95 on October 2, 2016, surrounded by her family.

She was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on February 25, 1921, and was raised in Erwin, South Dakota. She taught in a one-room schoolhouse for several years before marrying the love of her life, Johnny, on August 29, 1945. For the first 10 years of their marriage, they farmed in eastern South Dakota, where their daughters, Marcy and Kathy, were born. They moved to the Black Hills to operate the “How Dee Do Motel” and added two more daughters, LuAnn and Lana. In 1960 they moved their family to Ojai, California, and lived there for over 50 years. Connie moved to Vista del Monte in Santa Barbara four years ago where she received loving support and care.

Her passions centered around her family. She loved sewing, crafts, camping, nature, and helping others. Johnny was an avid fisherman, and Connie was famous for her expert fish-fileting skills! They spent 10 wonderful summers as campground hosts near Mt. Rushmore.

Newman for Montecito Water

O

ur environment and community viability is threatened by one of the worst droughts in California history. That makes the election for Montecito Water Board particularly critical. Fortunately, we have Charles Newman, a deeply committed citizen in the best tradition of volunteerism.

Since his appointment in 2015, Newman has spent hundreds of hours building a collegial relationship with residents, community agencies, and government bodies to research, explore, and cooperate on short- and longrange water solutions. He has taken the lead on an outreach program and to explore adding recycled water.

Charles Newman is a bright, ethical, and energetic leader, a person we can trust to act in our community’s best interests. He will implement wise water solutions and serve us well. We support him and believe he —Carol Doré Hawkins deserves your vote.

Indy Opinions?

A

s a senior realtor and half-time resident of Santa Barbara, I was appalled at last week’s front page.

Isn’t a newspaper supposed to publish actual news?

Even Webster says: “new information or a report about something that has happened recently.”

Nowhere in these definitions does it say “opinions”; don’t they belong on the Editorial page? Is the media so afraid Donald Trump might be elected that they have “decided” he is a bad option for America? Be brave, and, yes, have an opinion — just please do not shove “opinions” down our throats!

The media is slanted — not news any longer but opinions of liberals and their backing. ABC News Executive Producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, national security adviser; CBS News President David Rhode’s brother is Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser; ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, deputy secretary of energy.

A little bias in the news over the last eight years?

You’ve all been “bought”; I’m ashamed of you.

Animal Matters

e write to address your description of public comment at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors hearing regarding Animal Services [independent.com/bitesbarks].

The nonprofit Animal Shelter Assistance Program (ASAP) works collaboratively with Animal Services and other rescue partners to improve the department.

Our comments, echoed by the spokesperson for Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter (BUNS), focused on delays in establishing contracts for services with nonprofit partners.We agree on the need for culture change at Animal Services, which is occurring through the Oversight Team’s work.

Those calling for a reduced Animal Services budget are mostly people with no shelter experience, narrowly focused on Santa Barbara’s dogs. We find their logic baffling. The average number of dogs at the S.B. shelter has been halved thanks to creative programs by the new community outreach coordinator. That position, along with a director of shelter medicine, veterinary technician, and dog behaviorist, were all created to improve animal care. The resulting 92 percent live-release rate is extraordinary for a municipal shelter.

Animal Services’ budget encompasses far more than just dogs. It covers three shelters, including cats, rabbits, horses, and chickens (nearly 40 percent of animal intakes); 16,000 field calls, for everything from animal-abuse investigations to fire evacuation response to hoarding cases; responsible pet ownership outreach; and a spay-neuter clinic to reduce pet overpopulation.

Until two years ago, our county was 56th out of 58 California counties in animal-services spending. The current budget has allowed us to make huge strides in saving animals. It is disturbing that people claiming to care about animal welfare would argue for fewer, not —Angela Walters Rockwell, more, resources. executive director, ASAP and Lee E. Heller, Summerland

t’s been a decade since

singer/songwriter Glen Phillips released Mr. Lemons, his last full-length solo album.

During that time, he reunited with Toad the Wet Sprocket, toured Japan, sent kids off to college, and saw his marriage come to an end.

After years of ups and downs, Phillips ultimately found himself back in the studio, cutting his latest creation, Swallowed by the New (SBTN).

SBTN). With his SBTN trademark lyrical poignancy and tantalizing instrumentation, Phillips has created perhaps his most thoughtful work yet. SBTN explores love, loss, and family — fundamental truths of the human condition — in what is both an intensely personal yet exceedingly relatable album. I recently spoke with Phillips about the new record.

Santa Barbara, lend us your ears: There’s a new concert series in town, and it’s ready to be heard. Starting this week, the Indy website debuts Side Notes, a new series of intimate recordings from homegrown and visiting performers in collaboration with Playback Studios and Oniracom. Recorded in one of Playback’s world-famous session rooms, the series will showcase some of our day’s best songwriters and up-and-coming performers, with exclusive words from each act about their creative process. Here’s a look at four of the upcoming acts featured on Side Notes.

Glen Phillips: With his new album, Swallowed by the New New, just hitting the digital shelves, now is the perfect time to cozy up with Phillips’s autumnally plaintive and mournful songs about grief and gratitude. See the interview on the right of this page.

Johnny Irion: From playing a song for Bernie Sanders at SBCC to touring with Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper’s Hollywood Vampires, S.B.’s Johnny Irion has proved to be one of our area’s visibly vital and exciting rockers, standing for the same social change as his musical forefathers while making us smile with his excellent voice and melody chops.

Johnny Irion

Lily & Madeleine: The folk-pop duo kindly graced our studio before opening for Brett Dennen at the Lobero, and their beautiful harmonies had us spellbound. Playing new songs from their 2016 album, Keep It Together, the duo makes for some delightful listening — you’ll be asking for doubles.

Erisy Watt & Raf: The Cabin by the Sea concert series founder has earned many fans across town for her folk-song lullabies about nature and spirituality, while her bassist sidekick, Raf, has also garnered admirers of his own with his solid playing and expert whistling.

Keep an eye on independent.com, with more concerts to come!

In the spotlight is The Santa Barbara Independent’ Independent’s new video series, Side Notes, where we’ve invited acts such as Glen Phillips and Lily & Madeleine to join us at Playback Recording Studio for an intimate recording. Also in this issue, we meet Detention, the band of elementary school educators, and UCSB scientist Scott Grafton, who helped analyze Sting’s brain.

rial has been around me forever. I think there was a process in the last two years of getting a lot more serious about the work—“work” meaning really conquering my mind. Because in the state I had been in, I could have taken the changes in my life and really destroyed myself. I feel like my option was either to get really serious about happiness or to go down the tubes all the way. I guess in 12-step programs, they call it a low bottom, and I feel like I had a low bottom. I’m not going to get to the point where I don’t work.

I’m not going to get to the point where I, like, trash all my personal relationships. I only trashed a few of them, I only sabotaged my career for a decade,

I feel like these songs were reminders That also allows you the time to do your own projects. They are really of what I actually needed to be looking at.

I was trying not to write breakup songs. And then I was in different realms. Have you ever read How Music Works by David this songwriting group with Matt the Electrician, and he would Byrne? [He writes about the venue and how] it influences the send out these emails to all the songwriters. [He’d] send a title, composition of the music, and as the composition of the music and we’d have a week to write [the lyrics and music for] that title. expands—you get chamber music turning into orchestral music And that was “Reconstructing the Diary,”“My Criminal Career,” for a symphony hall.You’re writing for the hall as much as you’re “Leaving Old Town,” and “Held Up.” Those all came from titles writing for the ensemble.

So you’re writing for a particular delivery mechanism; you from that. … For me, they are the first songs in the process. And I feel like “Grief and Praise,” which was the last song written … are writing music for rock concerts. You know, for standing up, was everything I had to say that I hadn’t said. I needed to thank for harmony vocals, two guitars, bass, drums. The thing about my children, needed to thank my former wife. I needed to give the last Toad record was I felt it was the first time I got a look at respect to the process that had led me there … Grief and praise the container of the band and what the band does best, what the are the same thing: Praise is grieving the things you love and will band says the best. What the message of the band is and how this lose, and the grief is praising the things you love and have lost. record could be a continuation of a larger narrative of subject “Grief and Praise” to me is the happy ending. I mean, that sounds matter. And then I’m looking at my own record in a different weird since it’s about grief, but it’s the happy ending. sense, too, you know, trying to actually have some intent. So thinking of instrumentation, thinking, What’s the spirit of the Are you and Toad working on an album right now? No, nothing right record? What’s the subject matter?

I like the idea of singles with Toad, just putting [one out] here in there. You know, there’s an audience there, but if we do a whole album, we only end up playing a handful of Glen Phillips plays on Wednesday, November 2, at SOhO those songs. So it’s nice to be able to just dip in, have fun, dip out Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.).

All-Educator Band Joins Ukelele Jim, Spencer the Gardener at Falcon Fest Foothill Fundraiser

by Richie DeMaRia

l

isten up, students: Your teachers are about to rock. On Thursday, October 20, at

Foothill Elementary School, students and parents alike will be called to Detention, the all-educator band composed of three teachers and one principal. The scholastic fourpiece will play alongside Ukulele Jim (himself a musician within an educational realm, as the director of the IT User Services at Santa Barbara City College) and the always family-friendly and inspiring Spencer the Gardener. These musicians are all coming together for Falcon Fest, a fundraiser for Foothill Elementary’s 5th and 6th grade trips to Catalina Island Marine Institute (CIMI) and Astrocamp.

Detention is made up of Mountain View Elementary kindergarten teacher Mark Casady (guitar, vocals), 2nd grade teacher Nate Latta (bass, vocals), principal Ned Schoenwetter (drums), and Foothill 4th grade teacher Sean Montgomery (guitar, vocals). It all began when Falcon Fest event chair and Foothill PTA member Joni Kelly was organizing the Foothill talent show two years ago. There she met Montgomery, who was mixing sound at the event and let slip that he played music. Soon a casual conversation became a reality, and Montgomery formed a band with his fellow teachers whom he knew to be musicians as a one-off act for the talent show.

Playing just two songs —“Holiday” by Green Day and “Glycerine” by Bush — Detention was an instant hit with its captive audience.“The kids basically homeopathically formed a mosh pit.

Totally organically, they all just came together,” Kelly said.

One of the kindest bands you’ll ever meet, they’re also one of the most modest. “We only get together maybe for one hour once every three weeks,” Montgomery said. “If even that,” Schoenwetter added. It’s all about having fun for these educators, who are quick to stress that most of them don’t have the chops to turn this into a professional gig (aside from Latta, who plays locally in numerous bands outside of school). With good humor, their demo is titled It Could Be Worse…, and they’re a fairly self-effacing bunch. “The joke is the only way students will stay and listen to us is if they’re in detention, and at every talent show we say, ‘You’re in detention; no one can leave,’ ” Montgomery said.

“We don’t set the bar too high,” Casady said. Thankfully, with audiences of mostly 12-yearolds,“we have very forgiving crowds.”

Ukulele Jim, who is inclined to play for even younger audiences, started writing music after he became a father and wanted his children to grow up “in a house that was full of music.”

“It’s a wonderful feeling,” he said, to have his homegrown music touch children’s lives, “and it’s wonderful to be able to see kids smile and jump around and have some fun.”

So educators and the otherwise scholastically involved are making music — what is the lesson? There are a lot. The members of Detention hope to show by example: that it’s great to take creative risks.“It’s Ned’s and Mark’s philosophy to get up and go do something, so we are trying to get our kids to go see that and hopefully model it,” Montgomery said. What’s more, music “brings up a lot of discussions on the curriculum — we talk about music in math, in science,” from atom vibrations to patterns. Music supports dendrite growth, he added, “Literally, your brain cells are growing closer together.” Their just-for-fun band has turned out to work quite harmoniously with the classroom goings-on.

It’s no secret at this point that these teachers, principal, and IT director have a fun side, and their fellow faculty has endorsed their efforts. “It’s for a great cause, and kids 2 to 92 will have fun,” Ukelele Jim said. “I would give kudos to the school district of being supportive of us,” Schoenwetter said.“I think we all feel music is really important, and music education is something we never want kids to lose.” ★

InsIde stIng’s BraIn UCSB’s Scott Grafton Helps Analyze How the Singer/Songwriter Processes Music

courtesy

h

is career has spanned decades;

his music is legendary. But what is it that sets Gordon Sumner, a k a Sting, apart from the multitude of other talented composers? Daniel Levitin wondered the same thing, and in 2010 he had the opportunity to find out. Levitin is a neuroscientist and the author of the 2007 best-selling book called This Is Your Brain on Music, a brilliant exploration of how music and the brain interact. Sting read the book, happened to be in Toronto — where Levitin’s lab is — for a concert, and asked if they could meet. Levitin, in turn, asked Sting if he could scan his brain.

Using imaging analysis techniques developed by UCSB psychological and brain sciences professor Scott Grafton, Levitin’s team mapped how Sting organized music in his brain. “Sting was asked to do three things while in the fMRI scanner: create music in his mind, listen to selected pieces, and imagine songs,” Grafton said. “The goal was to take someone who knows how to do these tasks really well and then see if there are any patterns in the brain that reflect those capabilities.”

In August 2016, Levitin and Grafton’s findings were published in the journal Neurocase.

One revelation was that Sting’s brain activity showed he found two disparate-sounding songs — the Beatles’“Girl” and Astor Piazzol-

Sting

la’s tango composition “Libertango”— highly analogous. Another surprise, according to Grafton, was that “brain activity will demonstrate similar patterns for similar types of music. That has not been shown before.”

So what does this mean for understanding how people create and/or process music?

“This is just the start, in terms of developing novel methods, for understanding how we organize different kinds of music or songs in our mind,” explained Grafton.“With that tool, future studies could ask more sophisticated questions: Do experts (like Sting) discriminate between different songs more, or perhaps the opposite? Do compositions emerge from underlying patterns (based on similar songs)?

What drives the patterns (timbre, rhythm, lyrics, harmony)?”

Modular SynthS aT SBCaSt

You’ve got what it takes to be a Cardinal!

Deeep Modular Showcases Resurging Electronic Music Technology

g

et ready to go deep with modular synths — Deeep deep. On Saturday, October 15, at the Santa Barbara Center for Art, Science and Technology (SBCAST), Deeepevents presents Deeep Modular, an exploratory experience where guests can play with analogue synthesizers and hear the amazing sounds they are capable of producing in the hands of renowned electronic music artists.

Guiding you in the immersive exploration will be several performers: synthesists David Muir, Skyler “Kittyspit” King, and OSC1Nation, each of whom will contribute a musical set.

They will join UCSB master’s degree graduates in sound design and VST programming, who will perform while using video-projection 3D topography similar to Oculus Rift.

What’s more, some of the most important inventors and names in the electronic music world will be there. The evening’s speaker of note is Tom Oberheim, one of the developers of MIDI and founder of Oberheim Electronics. He will talk about modular synthesis as well as sign autographs for those who admire his contributions to the fields of video game music and pop music alike.

Also in attendance will be UCSB luminaries: Dr. Curtis Roads, famed for inventing the kind of granular synthesis programs used by some of the biggest names in electronic music, like Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Venetian Snares; and Dr. Clarence Barlow, the highly regarded avant and classical music composer known for his electroacoustic harmonic explorations.

For the unfamiliar, modular synths are a kind of electronic instrument that operate not unlike an old switchboard: Sounds are patched via cables through oscillators and filter circuits, creating completely customizable tones through the physical alteration of the waveform. They are the first of their kind, a predecessor to today’s digital instruments.

Event organizer and SBCAST’s David Muir has cultivated “a great experience with great performers, intellectual learning, fine food, and wine,” with plenty of libations to help you enjoy and absorb the vibrations. Muir hopes to showcase the versatility and variety of modular synths.“You can create amazing sounds from Hollywood to video games to just someone just tinkering in their house,” he said.

After the event, head on over to Eos for a continuation of the modular vibes, where DJ David Muir and DJ Trey Courtney will spin deep-house tunes into the night.

Three S.B. BandS Tell of Touring hazardS

s

anta Barbara has a plethora of bands playing our clubs and bars to keep music

lovers aurally satisfied year-round. But in between hometown shows, many bands head out to cities, states, and countries to dazzle others with their playing chops. Prepping for a tour requires a lot of planning, but even so there are myriad things that can go awry. Spencer the Gardener, Soul Majestic, and S.F.-by-way-ofI.V. band Poor Man’s Whiskey have all experienced the foul-ups and miscalculations that can turn a far-flung gig into a story of mishap. Read on for accounts of a Canadian border-crossing snafu, a purple bus stuck in the redwoods, and a Mexican concert with no bass-drum pedal.

Spencer THE Gardener paul wellman

In the mid-1990s, before cell phones and the Spencer Barnitz efficiency of finding anything and everything at a moment’s notice, we were slated to play the finale of a two-day bike race/fundraiser in Ensenada, Mexico. We were put up in a hotel for Saturday/Sunday with the show being held in a big soccer field just outside of town.

We were the only band playing, and we were hosted by two radio stations — one from San Diego and one from Mexicali. So it was just Spencer the Gardener and the radio stations’ deejays. We arrived in Ensenada late Saturday afternoon, checked into the hotel, and then marched out into a crazy Mexican night.

The next day, we paraded around Ensenada, had a late breakfast, and then made our way to the show. The sound company was from Mexicali, and we were all joking around and slowly setting up, telling various stories and histories when our drummer said, “I think I forgot my bass-drum pedal.” He was kinda laughing; we figured he’d find it somewhere. A couple of minutes later he said,“Guys, I can’t find it.” It was Sunday afternoon, and all the music stores were closed. One of the sound guys said,“I have a friend,” and off he went on a mad dash to try and find a bass-drum pedal. He came back empty-handed. In the meantime, another sound guy said,“I have an idea.” He set up a keyboard and simulated the sound of a bass-drum pedal. By now we are about an hour away from start time, and a crowd was at the gates ready to come in. So a guy named Alejandro from Mexicali said, “You count four; I’ll come in and just play the bass pedal part — I’ll keep it simple, like a heartbeat.”

So that is how we did the show. It sounded a bit like those old Stars on 45 records where everything sounded like a disco remix, and after a while if that thundering keyboard bass drum wasn’t there, you were missing something. You could even feel the crowd pulsing, “like a heartbeat” as Alejandro said. Needless to say, I think that led to a three-year question of “Are —Spencer Barnitz, voCalS and guItar you sure you have everything?”

poor Man’S WhiSkey A few years back, we were driving back to San Francisco after a show up in Arcata in Humboldt County.

We traveled in a 40-foot former Greyhound bus that was painted purple. The seats were removed, and we put some couches and bunks in the bus. It was late Saturday night/early Sunday morning, and we decided to do the all-night, six-hour drive so we could be home to spend Sunday with our families. from left: David Noble, Jason Beard, Josh Brough, George Smeltz, and Aspen Stevenson Josh [Brough (harmonica, banjo, keyboards, and vocals)] was driving the bus as everyone else was crashed out sleeping.

Somewhere in Mendocino, Josh was getting sleepy and pulled off to the side of the road to find a quiet spot off the highway to rest for a few hours. The road he pulled off on kept going and turned into a steep dirt road that winded up a mountain. There was nowhere to turn around. Thirty minutes later, the road dead-ended in a redwood tree grove way up in the boonies — probably some pot farmer’s hidden driveway. Three hours later and 186 backand-forth Y-turns, and we were able to inch the bus out of the redwood tree grove. When we finally started rolling back down to the highway in the early-morning sun, the bus was covered in scratches from the tree branches. At least we got close to some redwood trees!

The Creative Mind: An Evening of Cover Art, Illustrations and Comics Mon, Oct 17 / 7:30 PM (note special time) UCSB Campbell Hall / FREE

Soul MajeStic

from left: Eric Iverson, Oriana Sanders, David Lyons, and Brian Jarvis

It was the first time we were asked to play internationally. A Washington State promoter booked us for two shows in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. The budget was really small, so we couldn’t afford to fly directly; we flew to Tacoma, Washington, and hopped on a bus for a twoand-a-half-hour ride to Whistler.

Once we were nearing our destination, a quick phone call to a family member back at home brought up an unforeseen issue — we needed work visas in order to perform and get paid. With the Canadian border approaching, we realized we needed to concoct a story. Brilliantly (or so we thought), we came up with the idea that we are going to play a private birthday party for a friend for no pay and planned to take some leisure time to ski/snowboard.

We took a public commuter bus from Tacoma to Canada, which was mostly occupied by us and a few other innocent travelers. We pulled up to the border crossing, and they quickly singled us out — seven dreaded (or at least hairy) hoodlums and a pregnant woman — and signaled for the bus driver to pull over on the Canadian side of the border. Agents then took us to a containment room and started to weed through their extensive database while we waited for hours, restricted from leaving the room, even to go to the bathroom.

In the early morning, we contacted the promoter, letting him know we had been detained and that the bus had left us behind. After hours in detainment, a few members of the Canadian border patrol opened the door. They took two of our band members into their interrogation rooms after discovering there were some old records of misdemeanor charges against them — one being a marijuana charge and another an unpaid parking ticket.

It was clear at that point that they did not want to make this easy on us. When individually asked what our business was in Whistler, we all stayed true to our story. The border agents searched the Internet to find we had a sold-out show and house party booked in Whistler.

Then things started getting messy. Our guitarist Dave [Lyons] had a video camera and was documenting our inhumane treatment: no bathroom breaks, no water, and no leaving the room. One of the agents noticed the camera and insisted he put it down. He did, but the agent decided that he was going to confiscate it anyway. As the agent approached Dave to take the camera, [vocalist] Oriana [Sanders] (six months pregnant at the time) moved between Dave and the border agent. Hands in the air and hoping to defuse the situation, she quickly became the focus of the mounting aggression.

The agent grabbed her wrist, twisted her arm behind her, and forced her to the ground shoving his knee into her back, face down on the cold ground. We all jumped up yelling,“Wait, she’s pregnant!” The agents drew their firearms and pointed them at us. It was straight out of a movie. After realizing what they had done to an innocent pregnant woman, the other Canadian border guards quickly rushed the offending agent into the back. With bruised knees and a battered sense of security, Oriana demanded an ambulance to make sure the baby was safe. The paramedics arrived, confirming everything seemed to be okay.

After the dust had settled, another agent came into the containment room. The show promoter had arrived, hoping to smooth things out. The agent then said, “The band known as Soul Majestic, and the eight of you individually, are now excluded from entering Canada for a duration of two years. You must leave the border crossing immediately and return to U.S. soil.”

We were devastated. Our first sold-out show — and first international — and we got pinched at the border?! Straddling Canada and the United States, we sat on the side of the road with our musical equipment and luggage at 4 a.m., waiting for the only available local taxi to cart us two at a time between Surrey, B.C., and Blaine, Washington. We eventually made it to a U.S. motel and licked our wounds.

In the morning, we called our families and told them the situation. Little did we know that word of our experience had spread to the U.S. Embassy and NBC Canada. We had reporters and officials calling us to interview and report on the situation. Unfortunately, some band members were reluctant to expose our harrowing experience and refused to speak on the record. So we declined the offer to spread our story and invoke justice.

On the bright side, we were asked back to Canada years later; this time we hired a firm that specializes in musician work visas. When we showed up at the border, the agents were waiting for us. This time they just chuckled while waiving us through, saying, “Sounds like you had a rough experience the last time you tried to come through.”We smoothly and safely crossed the border, playing packed shows in Nelson and Whistler, B.C. Lots of lessons were learned on that first tour, but the one we won’t forget: Get your ducks in —eric iverSon, voCalS a row before you try and cross any border!

As Part of His USA Tour An Evening With

BERNARD ILSLEY At the New Vic Theatre ‘World Renowned London Medium’

Photos, images, and logos are the copyright property of their respective owners.

New Vic Theatre, 33 W Victoria St · Nov. 10, 7 - 10pm (Ensemble Theatre Company) · Box Office 805-965-5400 · boxoffice@etcsb.org

An amazing evening of communication with loved ones from spirit and audience participation, using multi-dimensional awareness, it’s not uncommon for Bernard to see the vital glimpses of the future whilst connecting with spirit. Considered by many to be one of the most gifted Mediums this century.

Through the power of love Bernard has united loved ones from 9/11, Sandy Hook and the recent New York train crash. This will be an evening destiny beckons you not to miss!

The ability that you have to communicate with spirit guides astounds me and humbles me. I am in awe of what you have taught me.

Thank you Bernard, much love.

Michelle J ( Queensland Australia) Thank you so much for the astoundingly accurate messages from my late husband, since I heard you on BBC Radio, you have changed my life!

DID YOU KNOW...

Occasionally, household pets are not the source of flea infestation.

Opossums, raccoons and stray cats living in attics, crawlspaces and under porches can harbor fleas, making it necessary to eliminate these animals from the premises. Please contact O’Connor Pest Control for live animal trapping. Flea problems can be challenging. Complete control requires knowledge, attention to detail and perseverance. Hiring a pest management professional, like O’Connor Pest Control, is your best way to deal with flea infestation.

Sephora FaShion Show at paSeo nuevo Last Saturday, more than two dozen models, hair stylists from SBCC’s Cosmetology Academy, and makeup artists prepared for the annual fall fashion show at Paseo Nuevo, sponsored by Sephora, which is celebrating its 10th year in the outdoor mall. The 27 models were selected from agencies as well as UCSB sororities, and they were each able to choose a charity to benefit from their participation. The runway show featured fall ensembles from Paseo Nuevo’s stores, including ANGL, Cozy Fox, Lorna Jane, and Macy’s, and was the grand finale following 10 days of special events at the mall.

Yoga for Those with Hearing Loss

n 2014, when Yasa Yoga on West Mission Street remodeled its studio, yoga enthusiast Thomas Kaufmann convinced the owners to let him install the wiring for a hearing loop, which is technology made by his company OTOjOY to help those with hearing loss. Since the technology was still new and not yet widely used, the wiring sat dormant for two years. But it was turned on in July, making Yasa Yoga the only yoga SUPED-UP STUDIO: OTOjOY’s Thomas Kaufmann (center) sits with Wayne Rich studio on the West Coast (left) and Chelsie E.

“It’s difficult even for people without hearing loss has installed this same technology at a number to hear in yoga studios,” said Kaufmann. “From a of venues around town, from auditoriums to physics standpoint, it’s a great resonance room with churches.

“About 20 percent of the population is affected all the bouncing sound, but it leads to unintelligibility. Nobody in the class hears the amplified sound by hearing loss and would benefit from a hearing from the hearing loop except those already tapped aid device,” said Kaufmann, whose goal is to create a more inclusive world for those with hearing loss. into it through their hearing devices.”

The hearing loop takes sound from an instruc- “Most people aren’t aware of that, and most people tor’s microphone, sends it into an amplifier that with hearing loss don’t speak up about it, and they surrounds the room under the floor, and then try to hide it.”

o drive Highway 1, the “Ring Road” that circles Iceland, is to enter and leave a new world every half hour or so. My son and I drove it this summer, and coming from parched Santa Barbara, I was struck most by one constant: the abundance

of water.

Much of that water finds its way into waterfalls such as Gullfoss (pictured above), the “Golden Falls,” a two-level, rainbow-generating doozy that makes Niagara look pedestrian; Dettifoss, a massive rush of ashen river in the middle of a stark gray moonscape; Goðafoss, into which a 10th-century leader threw his statues of Norse gods, thereby converting Iceland to Christianity; and a thousand other showstoppers — high and narrow, low and wide — which might or might not have names.

As you make your way through the mist toward the roar and rumble, there are very few warning signs. Evidently if you are stupid enough to edge too close to a precipice, you deserve to perish.

Along the 800-mile route, endless fields of purple lupine give way to black sand beaches, which become grassy valleys and lava plains.

We stacked stones atop the countless cairns marking who knows what and could practically touch the icebergs bobbing in the frigid waters of Jökulsárlón.

We stayed at a converted boarding school in Skógar. On the wall of our room hung photographs of the class of 1972-73, showing enough shaggy-haired, glassy-eyed boys to have populated every heavy-metal band in England at the time.

Sheep meandered everywhere, and whether ewe or ram, every adult seemed to be accompanied by two lambs — most of them, alas, destined for the smokehouse.

We drove through a tunnel above Neskaupstaður only wide enough for one vehicle. There are several pullouts inside, but you wouldn’t know that until you ventured into its darkness. Locals call it the “Rat Hole.” “No one’s died in 50 years,” our waiter proudly told us.

Highway 1 is usually narrow and frequently serpentine as it gains or loses thousands of feet of altitude in the time it takes to regret you ever learned how to drive. In the far west, the highway is unpaved.

We left the Ring Road often, to see a glacier or climb an extinct volcano, watch a geyser spouting or wander through a distant fjord. Occasionally, the sky opened up to the nearly constant summer daylight, but more often low clouds hovered almost within reach, promising and delivering rain. Sometimes fog obscured everything, and then it would lift suddenly to reveal the treeless landscape — otherworldly, profligate, barely sane.

HAPPY FAMILY IN NEW HOME: Eric Cardenas (front left), David Forston (front right), and the rest of the Loa crew moved into their new East Haley Street space about two months ago.

Living La vida Loa

A

lmost eight years ago, when longtime environmentalist David Fortson decided to flex his entrepreneurial muscles by starting an “eco-lifestyle collective,” his friends, family, and colleagues had no idea what he was doing. And neither did he.

“I’d come to believe that the future of changing the world long-term hinged on business, which had the opportunity — by moving capital, products, and services — to change the direction of environmental and social issues,” explained Fortson, who worked a decade of professional progressive jobs, from the Isla Vista Recreation & Park District to SB-CAN before a stint at Sonos, where he learned the for-profit mindset. “Quite frankly, I didn’t know how I was gonna do it,” he admitted. “But here we are years later with a roof over our heads and a talented staff.”

That roof is on East Haley Street, in the former Muddy Waters coffeehouse space, and that staff — including Fortson’s best-friend-turned-business partner Eric Cardenas — makes up their companies LoaTree and LoaCom. The former is what’s become of that initial collective notion: a consumer-facing, eventthrowing entity, responsible for producing Earth Day at Alameda Park since 2010 (his first client), the Green Drinks happy-hour networking series, and, this Sunday, the first ever LoaFest, featuring live music, food, beer, and good vibes.

Their revenue-generating vehicle, meanwhile, is LoaCom, which functions as a business-to-business marketing and communications firm that helps companies, nonprofits, and government agencies tighten their focus on sustainability, both internally and exter-

nally. Successes so far include the Santa Barbara Bowl’s reusable-cup campaign (which is about to expand to other venues), the creation and management of nprnsb.org (website for the Nonprofit Resource Network), and projects for the McCune Foundation, 1% for the Planet, the UC Natural Reserve System, county departments, and ocean power firms. “We want to focus on those companies, organizations, and agencies that are specifically trying to make a difference,” said Fortson, who now has clients in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and beyond. “The market for that, thankfully, is growing.”

After years based out of both Cardenas’s kitchen and then Workzones in Paseo Nuevo, the Loa team grew to five people and needed more space. Then Ed France of the S.B. Bicycle Coalition literally rode

by Cardenas on State Street, and they made plans for lunch. In 2014, the coalition had purchased the L-shaped property that curves from 508 East Haley to 434 Olive streets. But Muddy Waters was leaving, so France needed a new tenant. With synergy in the air, a deal was struck earlier this year, and the Loa crew moved in about two months ago.

“We couldn’t have planned that, but it’s how things operate in our reality a lot of the time,” said Cardenas, reminding that Loa stands for Law of Attraction. “You put out good energy and do good work, and it comes back to you.”

Westmont College Warriors and Laguna Blanca Owls at Top of Women’s Volleyball Heap

by John

Zant

S.B. ATHLeTiC ROund TABLe:

AthleteS of the week Halie Johnson, SBCC water polo As the unbeaten Vaquero women (19-0) posted five more victories last week, Johnson scored 16 goals and had nine assists. The sophomore from San Marcos High is the No. 5 scorer in the state with 64 goals.

Chris “Tick” Jellison,

S.B. High football A year after he suffered a broken ankle in the “Big Game” against San Marcos, the senior receiver made his 2016 debut and scored five touchdowns — four receptions and a 65-yard punt return — in the Dons’ 55-7 victory over the Royals.

Cook has sufficient bodies to put on the court when injuries beset the starters. Emma Harrah, a sophomore from San Marcos High, subbed for Dahlberg last week. Cassidy Rea, a freshman from Ventura, has displayed a lethal left arm.

Anticipating the NAIA nationals in Sioux City, the Warrior women traveled to Iowa and played four matches in two days last weekend. They swept Nebraska’s College of Saint Mary, won a five-game thriller over nationally ranked Dordt College, and took a pair of foursetters from Concordia of Nebraska and Northwestern of Iowa.

Westmont’s quest for its first GSAC volleyball championship since 1993 resumes with two matches on the school’s homecoming weekend: Friday, October 14, at 4 p.m. against William Jessup, and Saturday at 2 p.m. against Menlo.

A

quiet confidence abides in the Westmont College women’s volleyball team. The Warriors speak softly and carry a big broomstick. They are the only undefeated team in the NAIA with a 23-0 record, and that includes 16 sweeps.

The genesis of that surge was the final match of the 2015 season, a crushing loss to The Master’s that deprived the Warriors of a bid to the NAIA national tournament. Westmont’s middle blocker Libby Dahlberg made a vow:“We’re never losing to them again.”

The Master’s Mustangs visited Murchison Gym last week, and the Warriors lived up to the promise, sweeping away their Golden State Athletic Conference rivals (GSAC), 25-20, 25-14, and 25-13.

That ended the first round of conference play with Westmont holding an 8-0 record in matches and 24-0 in sets.

Patti Cook, a former Westmont star in her sixth season as head coach, attributed the team’s current success to “a combination of talent, experience, and a pretty fierce hunger for a common goal. Every single match is like our most important.”

Westmont is strong at the net, with an array of women adept at putting the ball away.“We’ve worked to have arms at every single position,” Cook said. Among them are outside hitters Taylor Beckman, Jessica McCann, and Samantha Neely, as well as Dahlberg, last year’s GSAC freshman of the year, in the middle.

“The way we ended last season has driven us this year,” the 63 Dahlberg said.“We have more passion for the game.”

Defensive specialist Kami Troesh, a senior, is not leaving anything to chance.“One of my goals is to go for every ball,” she said. “Sometimes I run and dive and don’t even touch the ball, but I always go for it.”

Courtney Crosby, another defender, fired up the crowd at the Master’s match. “She made three huge digs in a row,” Dahlberg said.

HOOTING IN HOPE RANCH: Another hot spot for volleyball is Laguna Blanca School’s Merovick Gymnasium,

a k a the Owls’ Nest. Residing there is the No. 1–ranked CIF Division 6 girls team. The Owls are 14-1, and their victories include three-game sweeps of Santa Barbara High and San Marcos.

“We’re thankful those schools put us on their schedule,” said Jason Donnelly, volleyball coach and athletic director at the private Hope Ranch school.

Laguna Blanca’s success is no surprise. Several key players return from the team that last year went 26-8 and notched the CIF Southern Section Division 4AA championship. The Owls also won the State Southern Regional title and played for the State Championship against Notre Dame Belmont.

Their loss in the finale was more sweet than bitter.

“I realized that team was better,” said Kelly Bickett, the Owls’ junior setter. “We made them win their points. I was content when the match was over. We came a long way from my freshman year when we just got destroyed in the first round of the play-offs.”

“We did not roll over,” said junior hitter Laurel Kujan, who is committed to play sand volleyball at USC.“This year, we’re going far.”

Donnelly said,“There’s no complacency in the girls. They have team chemistry that’s carried over from last year. They like each other and care about each other.”

UNDEFEATED: Westmont’s volleyball players have given their coach, Patti Cook (above), plenty to shout about. Junior hitter Taylor Beckman (top) is averaging almost 10 kills a match.

During their recent match at San Marcos, classmates of the Owls chanted in rhythm when they returned serves: “Bump. Set. Destroy!” Yet the team impresses more with its ball control and finesse than with power.

“We are not going to out-physical anybody,” Donnelly said.

Their confidence was not shaken by their only loss this season, to Oaks Christian. “You need the feel of losing to want to win,” Bickett said. Shortly later at San Marcos, the Owls won the first two sets by scores of 26-24 — fighting off four match points after trailing 24-20 in the second — and finished off the sweep, 25-17.

Laguna Blanca hosts Providence in a Condor League match Friday night, October 14.

Looming on October 25 is a nonJOHn league match at Dos Pueblos, an opportunity for the Owls to call themselves city champions. They have already beaten DP, 25-20, in 10/13: College Men’s Water Polo: UCLA at UCSB The No. 7–ranked the final game of Laguna Blanca’s Gauchos (8-4) face a huge challenge against No. 1 UCLA (19-0). The Bruins are riding an NCAA-record tournament.

Top UCSB goal-scorers Reed Cotterill, Shane Hauschild, and Boris Jovanovic “That was just one set,” said will try to fire shots past UCLA goalie Garrett Danner, the 2015 national player of the year. After this Maddy Nicolson, the only senior Thursday-afternoon game, the Gauchos will return to their pool on Friday (7pm) against San Jose on the team. “We need to win the State and host LaVerne and Whittier on Saturday. 3:30pm.

eader Brendan let me know that a new café called The Honey B has opened on the rooftop patio of Antioch University, 602 Anacapa Street, in the former home of Book Ends Café.

“Katie Belanger, also known as The Honey B, fell in love with cooking for the intention of making others smile, cooking in Chicago for her family and friends,” explains the website.“She applied her endless energy and passionate heart to achieve a degree in Food and Beverage and Business at the University of Missouri. Katie chased her culinary dreams out to California where she won a reality TV cooking competition and opened her very own vegan bakery business, Cinnies. After a year of success with Cinnies, Katie was craving to further expand her culinary creativity and business mind-set. She is now expanding with The Honey B, a little kitchen with a lot love. Katie’s very own unique rooftop eatery with an unforgettable view is located on top of Antioch University.”

The Honey B’s sandwich menu ($4.25 small, $8 large) includes Boat (bacon, caramelized onions, arugula, tomato, chipotle ranch on cheddar and chive waffles), Caesar (grilled chicken, shaved parmesan, romaine, tomato, Caesar dressing on garlic parmesan waffles), Meli (avocado mash, cucumbers, red onion, romaine, tomato feta, hummus on spinach mozzarella waffles), and Jackos (chipotlegarlic pulled jackfruit, pickled red onion, avocado crema, cilantro, corn tortillas).

The Honey B also serves Buddha Bowls ($8.50) including Curry (spiced yams, maple-roasted chickpeas, kale, avocado, cucumber, green onion, brown rice, coconut curry dressing), Kimchi (roasted Brussels sprouts, toasted cashews, kimchi, avocado, cucumber, mixed greens, brown rice, sesame ginger), Superfood (shredded kale, quinoa, seasonal berries, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, avocado, lemon poppy-seed dressing), and Can’t Beet This (baby arugula, roasted beet, farro, goat cheese, red onion, pumpkin seeds, basil balsamic dressing).

The Honey B also offers catering and has an outlet at Isabella Gourmet Foods, 5 East Figueroa Street. Hours are Monday-Thursday, 8:30 a.m.5:30 p.m., and Friday-Saturday, 8:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.

hen you live in wine country, school fundraisers don’t rely on lukewarm spaghetti feeds. Instead, like Budi Kazali at this Saturday’s LO+CAL Field Feast supporting Los Olivos School Foundation, you might even feel guilty for how much you benefit from this benefit. The October 15, 5-10 p.m., affair at Montanaro Farm features multiple courses from celebrated chefs Jeff Olsson of Industrial Eats, Matt Nichols of Brothers Restaurant at the Red Barn, and Budi Kazali of the Ballard Inn, who shared a little about what he’s preparing.

Bouillabaisse with Grilled Fennel and Endive Salad: Kazali is sourcing the freshest fish he can

find this week, which is likely to include lingcod, black cod, rockfish, and mussels. He’ll make the broth from all the bones, add the fish, and then serve with a traditional saffron-laced rouille (like an aioli) atop croutons alongside the grilled fennel salad.“You have that fennel flavor in the bouillabaisse, so this salad will help each dish balance the other,” he said.

Grilled New York Strip with Shishito Pepper Marmalade: “Right now, shishito peppers are just going crazy,” said Kazali, who prefers them to padrón peppers, which he finds increasingly spicy.

“When I was growing up, my mom would make this chili pepper dish with onions, pepper, vinegar, and a little bit of sugar,” he said of his Indonesian mother and her sambal. “You get that sweet and sour and a little bit of spice.”

When the Lights go out

Another key member of the creative team this time out is Lucent Dossier Experience featured artist Chanel Pepper. Pep-

JOey AlexAnDer

The sound of a great jazz pianist is nothing if not sophisticated; it certainly don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing. But for jazz to count as truly great, there also needs to be wit, harmonic invention, and rhythmic complexity. And an abundance of sophistication is just one of the things that make the 13-yearold Indonesian piano prodigy Joey Alexander (pictured) so exceptional. This kid was already learning Thelonious Monk’s tricky changes when he was 6, and by the time he was 11, Alexander had a successful album, My Favorite Things, and a score of top-notch adult musicians eager to jam with him.

On Countdown, the new album Alexander dropped just a few weeks ago, his talent speaks louder than ever, and his collaborators include saxophone ace Chris Potter on a dreamy version of the classic Herbie Hancock composition

“Maiden Voyage.” Catch Alexander on Sunday, October 16, at 7 p.m. at UCSB’s Campbell Hall. This show features Alexander in a trio format and will no doubt blow the audience away with this very young man’s musicality and personal presence. Call 893-3535 or visit artsandlectures.sa.ucsb.edu.

per began dancing when she was just 3 years old, but it wasn’t until she discovered aerial dance through classes here in Santa Barbara with aerial savant Autumn Phillips that she broke through to performing for a living. Thanks to years of intensive training, Pepper was chosen as a lead aerialist in Dream Rockwell’s enormously popular and successful troupe. If you’ve been to Coachella, Burning Man, or any of a number of other special events featuring Lucent Dossier in the last few years, you’ve no doubt witnessed this woman’s breathtaking technique with silks and other forms of aerial equipment.

With people at this level of achievement returning, it would be easy to stop looking for new input, but that’s not how Gore operates. Even with a new baby in the house, she’s still always curious about who or what might come next in her ongoing creative adventure. This time out she has expanded the dramatic elements of the interactive preshow by bringing in Brian Harwell, a much beloved and multiple Indy Award–winning actor who has worked with virtually every theater company in town.

There are just four performances of When the Lights Go Out scheduled — two on Thursday and Friday, October 20 and 21, at 8 p.m., and two on Saturday, October 22, an early show at 5 p.m. and a late one at 9 p.m.

Because of the relatively small number of seats available in this configuration of the Lobero, you’d be wise to reserve your place early. When the lights go out, you want to be where the action is. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to lobero.com or call 963-0761.

erialists and actors, live performers and video, in-person singers and blasting rock soundtracks all come together in Kerrilee Gore’s new-wave cabaret fusion, When the Lights Go Out. The lights in the Lobero Theatre won’t actually be completely off during this wildly entertaining, immersive theater experience, but the metaphor of a sudden shift into darkness does convey the thrilling and unexpected nature of what’s on tap. Begun in 2014 as something of an experiment in Carr Winery’s tasting room on North Salsipuedes Street, the show morphed into its present form last year when Gore and company discovered how effective and intimate a venue the Lobero Theatre can become when the audience sits onstage with the performers. After a break from creating this work that included both a role as talent director and coordinator of Santa Barbara Teen Dance Star and motherhood, Gore is back with her creative partner Jason Young to present what she is confident will be the most exciting thing she’s done yet.

From the beginning, the strength of When the Lights Go Out has had a lot to do with how well Gore does what she’s known for at Teen Dance Star, which is to attract talented people to work with her. Los Angeles–based dancer Jason Young is a great example. Since 2004, he’s been the supervising choreographer for all of Madonna’s tours. He met his wife, Valeree Young, on Madonna’s 2008 Sticky & Sweet Tour, and they have been working together ever since. In fact, Valeree serves as Madonna’s stand-in during the early stages of the rehearsal process, when Jason is getting the backup dancers up to speed. When

Other Desert Cities

PlAys A At Ays A sBCC

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for people to ask what has happened to the Republican Party — and to American political discourse more generally — and the sorry present state of affairs, it is useful to have a brilliant dramatist like Jon Robin Baitz around, and to have his insightful generational drama Other Desert Cities to stage, as the Theatre Group at Santa Barbara City College will do at the Garvin, previewing on October 12-13, and officially running October 14-29. If that sounds to you like some kind of declaration, give yourself a patriotic back pat and read on because you need to know about this unusually prescient recent work, one of the most intelligent and forceful American plays of the new century.

At the core of this family drama, there’s a politicized moral conflict that cuts along generational lines. Polly and Lyman Wyeth, a couple loosely based on Nancy and Ronald Reagan, are hosting Thanksgiving at their house in Palm Springs. The guest of honor is their prodigal daughter, Brooke Wyeth, a New York magazine writer and a die-hard liberal Democrat.

She’s got an autobiographical manuscript with her, and it’s a bombshell, but it turns out she’s never known the whole of the story she thinks her memoir has told.

Baitz understands at a deep level the degree to which the left and right wings of American politics are twisted strands of the same dark thread, and his play turns this historical insight into high drama. As director R. Michael Gros puts it, “The power of secrets can be positive or negative,” and in this high-stakes family drama, they’re both.

LOS 28 ANGELES GUITAR QUARTET

OCTOBER

Featuring the West Coast Premiere of Road to the Sun composed by Pat Metheny

VIVA HINDS: The Madrid-based band has caught the attention of the world with its album Leave Me Alone, already considered one of the top indie-rock albums of the year.

Experience the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet in a jazzfocused evening that also features the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Miles Davis and John Coltrane.

IN HINDS’ SIGHT

by Richie DeMaria UNEXPECTED ROCKERS: It’s been a whirlwind year for Hinds, the Spanish fourpiece who have quickly risen to worldwide acclaim with their slackadaisical and cheerfully unbridled rock ’n’ roll. The band will play an all-ages show at Velvet Jones on Monday, October 17, with Hayley and the Crushers and Cows Cabbage, landing in town on the wave of much-deserved recognition for their fantastically energetic and inspiringly empowering tunes, fresh from this year’s debut album, Leave Me Alone.

It’s their “freshness,” said bassist Ade Martín, which the world has latched onto, although the four members certainly didn’t expect to be such an “it” band when they worked these songs out in their garage. To them, they were musicians like others, but as has become clear to them and the world at large, there’s something intangible at play—a certain cool, a Madrilenian je ne sais quoi.“We thought they were songs that exist in the world like others, but the reactions are completely the opposite: ‘This is new; there is nothing else like Hinds,’” Martín marveled.

The first Spanish band to play one of Glastonbury’s main festivals, they’ve shown themselves to be exceptional in other ways, to the envy of their compatriots.“What’s happened to us as a band has never happened to any band in Spain before. There is a Spanish feeling that is really deep and very Spanish, which is envy, and some people just couldn’t stand it — they didn’t understand how everything happens so fast for us,” Martín said.

Many suspected the band had to have earned their place through nepotism.

“People were trying to find reasons for it with the craziest stories, like that our dads were working for Coca-Cola, and we became more a thing to talk about than listen to. Everyone had an opinion of us, and they weren’t even listening to our music.”

But give it a listen, and the evidence speaks for itself: The band rocks.

Hinds commonly excites crowds to the point of stage-rushing, and fans and journalists alike have admitted a desire to join the band altogether. The music is inviting and invigorating, the kind of party you want to crash—see songs such as “Chili Town” and “Garden.”

Sexism, sadly, remains an inescapable problem for the talented bunch, with doubters questioning their abilities, particularly in Spain. But the more they’ve toured, the more the attitudinal tides seem to be shifting in their favor. While initially annoyed that the “girl band” label followed them around—Aren’t they just a band? Why not just focus on the music?

— Hinds has seen the power in their femininity. “Once you go out and see how hard it is and how everything has to change so much — we changed completely,” Martín said. “We want women to want to play and to think, ‘Oh, there’s a possibility for me’— I don’t have to be on the other side or be a journalist. I can actually have a band.

“Another crazy thing: Our lyrics — they are made by women and written by women and talk about women stuff, and now you see big guys in the audience singing our songs. Girls are so used to singing boy lyrics, so to see a guy singing a girly song — that’s our way of changing things,” she added.

See the band and hear why they’re turning heads and changing minds, one rocking gig at a time.

MUSIC ON TAP: For more empowering rock, raise a glass to Slanted Land, Bella Heart & Soul Band, Thunder Rose, and Sonic Chaos, who will accompany your pours at this weekend’s S.B. Beer Festival on Saturday, October 15, at noon in Elings Park. Slanted Land, the riot grrrl psychedelic blues band, reminds us locally of the power of a woman with a guitar as Hinds has done globally. Check them and the other talented acts out as you enjoy n hoppy drinks from some of the nation’s finest breweries.

Blink-182

i

t was sensory overload in the best possible way at the Santa Barbara Bowl Wednesday, October 5, when an eclectic crowd was treated to a highly produced punk show that began with The All American Rejects (AAR) and ended with Blink-182.

The surprising opener, AAR, who ruled airwaves throughout the 2000s, played a 30-minute set with the sun At the S.B. Bowl, still up to a half-full venue of fans singing along pasWed., Oct. 5. sionately to hits “Move Along” and “Gives You Hell.” Next up was post-hardcore band A Day to Remember. The band engaged with the audience as they threw toilet paper into the mosh pit and the Bowl lit up with cell phone lights swaying to “If It Means a Lot to You.” With the punk-rock camaraderie in full swing, people rose up once the drums of Blink’s “Feeling This” began. This tour introduced fans to Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba, who lacked former guitarist Tom DeLonge’s ability to interact with the crowd. Thankfully, Mark Hoppus still hopped around the stage with his neon guitar, and Travis Barker slayed with intermittent drum solos.

Known for childish banter, Blink delivered with the offensive “Family Reunion” but lacked their legendary punk-ass attitude without DeLonge. Aside from songs from their new album, California, the set mostly consisted of radio hits ranging from “Miss You” to “All the Small Things.”

It would have been great to see Blink-182 in the Enema of the State era, but grown-up Blink drew a diverse crowd — from folks in the upper-two-digit age group to Mohawked, tattooed youth — attesting to Blink’s ability to create a sense of community.

The Who

A

sked years ago to name the band whose discography I’d take with me if banished to an uninhabited island, I immediately blurted, “The Who,” which was surprising because my favorite band at the time was The Clash. Thinking back, I understand the appeal of The Clash’s street-level view of an unjust universe. But after seeing At the S.B. Bowl, The Who reign over a soldout Santa Barbara Bowl on Thu., Oct. 6.

THE INDEPENDENT

OCTOBER 13, 2016

independent.com

The Who October 6, I know my desert-island soundtrack was the right pick, correctly aligned with a broadened worldview lifted by a loud and tender four-piece rock band born in 1964.

Guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend launched and sustained the evening’s Stratocaster sweep, beginning with their first single, “I Can’t Explain,” to their first proper hit, 1967’s “I Can See for Miles,” through the instrumental anthems of 1973’s Quadrophenia double album, and into the early 1980s, with “You Better You Bet.” That’s when singer Roger Daltrey, his 72-year-old chops supple and formidable, tripped on a mike cable and ended up floored. All 5,000 of us in the crowd then got another lesson in The Who’s uncanny perseverance — and its inevitable human decline — when Daltrey got right back up and joked about it through the prism of age: “Oh, the joys …”

To witness The Who perform at such levels several decades beyond their most prolifically creative years makes the middle-aged and millennial among us feel we truly missed something special. But through their sheer staying power and quality of services rendered, we’re made to feel very much part of it nonetheless. Not bad for a rock band.

Alonzo king lineS BAlleT

U

CSB Arts & Lectures kicked off its dance series for the season with this thrilling program from San Francisco–based Alonzo King. The first half was a five-part suite set to assorted movements from the string quartets of Dmitri Shostakovich. As a single horizontal stripe of bright light crept gradually up the backdrop, the 11 dancers of the Lines company At the Granada twisted and turned Theatre, Sat., Oct. 8. through a dense yet flowing series of tableau.

King’s style emphasizes the distinctive personalities of individual performers; there’s a richness to the details of his work that’s visually stunning. If he’s less inventive when it comes to massing groups in larger compositions, that may explain the presence of the horizontal rule, as well as the introduction in the middle movement of an onstage source of light, a seven-foot light staff that one of the dancers carried and twirled. Both of these lighting features seemed designed to complete the choreographic picture by framing or underlining it.

In the second half, the company turned to a more recent composition,“Sand,” which premiered last April with the musicians Charles Lloyd and Jason Moran live in the pit playing their compositions. Although this perfor-

AE &

mance used recorded music, it retained the improvisational edge of Lloyd and Moran’s decidedly free playing.

Like the Shostakovich in the opener, it was a terrifically satisfying and well-chosen soundtrack for this kind of movement. In the final two sections of the eight-part piece, ambiguous ripples of confrontation and struggle broke the sandy surface of what had been until then a work of playful lyricism. These glimpses of darkness and strain anchored the work’s exemplary fluidity in an implied context that was, like real life, larger and more complex. King is already an important and influential choreographer, especially here on the West Coast.

With “Sand” he may be signaling that the best is yet to come.

dark for a somewhat artistic but ultimately confusing set.

After a fan threw up in the pit, Hippie Sabotage took the stage at 10 p.m. in an unconventional fashion, captivating the audience with high-fives and taking selfies with fan’s phones. The set consisted of darker tracks with hip-hop and trap influences, a stark contrast from hits “Your Soul” and “Devil Eyes.”

Regardless, the Hippies’ ability to excite a crowd is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. When they played their remix of “Stay High” by Tove Lo, fans were invited onstage and flocked like elephants gathering at a watering hole.

I can see why teens are drawn to the electronic duo — brothers Kevin and Jeff Saurer —from Sacramento, as they have a gravitational stage presence. And the Hippies did not mind breaking venue rules—a reminder to rebellious youth that rules are meant to be broken. Hippie Sabotage are not simply deejays; they are an inspiration for smalltown kids with big-city dreams. After talking about their rapid success, Kevin dispensed life lessons to the underaged crowd, saying, “Every single one of you better believe in your fucking self.”

Finding The WoW

Y

ou don’t see it coming, but one day there you are — in your forties and wondering what happened to your youthful dreams.

When M.J. Marggraff, author of Finding the Wow: How Dreams Take Flight at Midlife, faced that midlife challenge in 2003, she knew it was time to put her overcrowded weekly planner aside and chase her lifelong fantasy of becoming a pilot.

Published in 2016, Wow chronicles Marggraff’s adventures from flight school— school she’s the only woman and the oldest person in the class — to joining the just-over 5 percent of female pilots in the U.S. Marggraff approaches her undertaking with diligence, ensuring she is always prepared for the task at hand. She’s barely through the Airplane Flying Handbook, though, when sudden ly she’s climbing into an actual plane with her instructor, with an equal measure of trepidation and thrill.

In addition to the demands of becoming a pilot, Marggraff has to contend with the restrictions of being a wife and mother. For example, some of her friends disapprove of her following her own interests outside the home, and it seems she feels the need to ask her husband for permission to take flying lessons, which is surprising considering it was 2003. Still, Marggraff’s determination is admirable, and she does get the support of her husband and kids.

Finding the Wow is best when Marggraff describes her excitement at finally flying a plane. When her son wants to know what it is that’s taking so much of her time, she expresses it this way:“I feel myself leave Earth, rising higher and higher, while everything familiar and below gets smaller. The rivers, all the cars … the roads are black snakes. The mountains share the air at my level. I am circling in wonder and grace. A sense of forever.

Of infinity.”

Crisis in six sCenes

LA TIMES

Woody Allen Tackles the Small Screen with Aplomb

W

Movie Guide

hen it was announced that Woody Allen, the unstoppably prolific filmmaker of lo these decades, had signed on to “do television,” he made public his trepidation and the fact that he had “no ideas.” He told an interviewer that the Amazon execs who extended the invitation may live to regret it.

That may have been the calculated bluster of an avowed film lover who came up and helped train a generation or two in the power of cinema when television was something of an enemy of the people, a medium lacking, well,“vision.”

Have no fear: If hardly a soaring triumph, Crisis in Six Scenes—a six-episode TV miniseries now available on Amazon—is well worth checking out and cleverly stocked with twists and that old Allen-esque punch-line machinery in action. With his debut on the “new TV,” Allen settles in for a long hang in the milieu of the late ’60s, with the moral and political ramifications of a fugitive idealist (Miley Cyrus) thrown into the relative calm of a bourgeois older couple’s home. In a way, this scenario allows Allen to revisit his ambivalence toward the counterculture and radical chic of his movies then in sync with those times and mores—including Bananas and Annie Hall.

Here, Allen stars as Sidney Munsinger, an older writer who started out in advertising, wrote a book (Let There Be Light,“about a proctologist who finds inspiration in the strangest places”), and is on the verge of succumbing to writing for TV (hmm). Elaine May — too long absent from public screens and a magnetic center on the show — is his tolerant, open-to-new-ideas wife, and Cyrus is Lennie Dale. She serves as the energizing wild card in the dramatic equation of Allen’s piece, a bombshell in the ’burbs, wreaking havoc, spouting Mao quotes, and accidentally seducing and politically rerouting an otherwise straitlaced young man headed for a “normal” life.

Charms are aplenty here. Among them are seeing the newer, hipper, post-Wayne Coyne–ized Cyrus, the ’60s radical on the lam and at the ready with revolutionary rhetoric (“The fascist propaganda machine is in full swing,” “Sports—another opiate for the people”), sparring with Sidney, who complains about her intrusion and depletion of his chicken and Fig Newtons and calls her a “stooge with hoarder mentality.” There are enough elements of action potential — the dragnet slowly working its way to finding the fugitive, the perils of

SBIFF’s THE SHOWCASE PRESENTS

LET THERE BE CRISIS: Woody Allen directs, writes, and stars in Amazon’s charming miniseries Crisis in Six Scenes.

CLOSET MONSTER

in-the-home bomb-making, and women’s book clubs suddenly radicalized, a chaotic convergence of people and narrative elements in the final episode — to grease the wheels of TV-sized entertainment dynamics.

Perhaps highest on the list of great pleasures connected with Crisis is the wealth of screen time in the rumpled, baggy-clothed presence of Allen, who has been absent from most of his latest films, in full kvetchpatter. It’s no incidental plot point that, starting with the very opening barbershop scene and extending to the final scene, our delectably whiny protagonist is very reluctantly heeding the lucrative call of TV, almost an admission of defeat as a writer and artist. Of course, that would have been the late ’60s, a vastly different television landscape than today’s creatively fertile, Woody-ready scene.

In Crisis’s laxer moments, when the narrative cohesion slips even as the comic fizz keeps us tuned in, we get the sense of Allen throwing a lot of stuff at the proverbial wall and seeing what sticks, picking up his check on the way to his next film project—his next “serious” endeavor. Or has he just made his next film, with the budgetary blessing of Jeff Bezos? Doing the math, Crisis in Six Scenes (the very title and self-described structural nature of which gently spoofs the episodic nature of television), adds up to just over two hours of Allen content, with a story told in linear episodic fashion, albeit with some obvious cliff-hangers inserted to keep the viewer returning for the next exciting episode.

Crisis in Six Scenes plays on amazon.com.

However, one does wish that convoluted plot twists were not used as a substitute for emotional substance, and the movie would have been better if the time loops and rabbit holes were accentuated with a deeper sense of human drama; still, it’s a fine fable, more imaginative than most recent movies for this demographic have been.

Fairview/Fiesta 5 Deepwater Horizon (107 mins., PG-13) Mark Wahlberg stars as Mike Williams in this biographical thriller about the 2010 explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that killed 11 employees and spewed petroleum from the sea floor for 87 days.

O Closet Monster (90 mins., NR) In this mostly engaging Canadian riteof-passage/teenaged sexual-awakening film, the so-identified “closet monster” is at least twofold: the talking hamster Buffy (voiced by Isabella Rosselini), a comforting confidant for our sensitive protagonist (Connor Jessup), and the semi-closeted prospect of fledgling gay impulses. The latter is a concern for his girlfriend and his single father (sometimes a monster in his own right).

A strong first feature for writer/director Stephen Dunn (out of the closet, by the way), the film effectively touches on the pain and confusion of divorce in a child’s life, the morphing growing pains of late adolescence, and transitional gestures of putting away (or sending away) childish things.

Sun.-Wed., Oct. 16-19, Riviera

O Star Trek Beyond

(122 mins., PG-13)

Something is amiss in deep space, and it isn’t the trouble with Tribbles. Kirk and Spock are suffering existential doubts. Kirk thinks his life has become “episodic”; Spock wants off to pursue his Vulcan-ness. That is until the USS Enterprise is drawn into a tricky nebula inhabited by a new evil and unexpected technologies. Written in part by Simon Pegg, who also plays Scotty, this one has an action scene worth the price of admission — it’s so wild Spock even laughs. (DJP) Fri. and Mon., Oct. 14 and 17, 7 and 10pm, I.V. Theater, 960 Embarcadero del Norte

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.

The attention to detail is rich and the drama is portentous, appearing serious and gritty but being on the whole rather bland. Refreshingly, men and women of a variety of cultures are the gun-wielding heroes, and though the inclusivity is cool, this is yet another depiction of an armed populace rising up against a vague villainy, and the mass violence feels senseless. (RD)

The Dressmaker (119 mins., R) Kate Winslet stars in this revenge dramedy about a former femme fatale who returns to the small Australian town in which she grew up, bringing haute couture and retribution to its female residents.

Plaza de Oro The Girl on the Train (112 mins., R) In this film based on the best-selling novel of the same name, Emily Blunt brings protagonist Rachel Watson to life in this mystery about an alcoholic who thinks she’s witnessed a murder during her train ride into the city.

Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo

Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life (92 mins., PG) Rafe Khatchadorian (Griffin Gluck) stars as the ringleader of a junior high school rebellion to humiliate the cruel, strict teachers and principal who run the school.

Camino Real/Fiesta 5

O Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (127 mins., PG-13) At last, a movie for kids and teens that shows the world in its weirdness, after Tim Burton’s last ventures diluted Lewis Carroll’s surrealist brilliance into Disneyfied normalcy. Here, there are peculiar children with ravenous mouths on the back of their heads and eyeless

O Sully

(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. Much of the humbly tempered movie concentrates on Sully’s behind-the-scenes wrangling with PTSD and insurance suits who grill him on his competency.

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)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of octobeR 13 ARIES

CANCER

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): A study published in the peerreviewed Communications Research suggests that only 28 percent of us realize when someone is flirting with us. I hope that figure won’t apply to you Aries in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological situation, you will be on the receiving end of more invitations, inquiries, and allurements than usual. The percentage of these that might be worth responding to will also be higher than normal. Not all of them will be obvious, however. So be extra vigilant.

(June 21-July 22): New rules: (1) It’s unimaginable and impossible for you to be obsessed with anything or anyone that’s no good for you. (2) It’s unimaginable and impossible for you to sabotage your stability by indulging in unwarranted fear. (3) It’s imaginable and possible for you to remember the most crucial thing you have forgotten. (4) It’s imaginable and possible for you to replace debilitating self-pity with invigorating self-love and healthy self-care. (5) It’s imaginable and possible for you to discover a new mother lode of emotional strength.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): The ancient Greek sage Socrates was a founder of Western philosophy and a seminal champion of critical thinking. And yet he relied on his dreams for crucial information. He was initiated into the esoteric mysteries of love by the prophetess Diotima, and had an intimate relationship with a daimonion, a divine spirit. I propose that we make Socrates your patron saint for the next three weeks.

Without abandoning your reliance on logic, make a playful effort to draw helpful clues from non-rational sources, too. (P.S.: Socrates drew oracular revelations from sneezes. Please consider that outlandish possibility yourself. Be alert, too, for the secret meanings of coughs, burps, grunts, mumbles, and yawns.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Helper Experiment, Part One: Close your eyes and imagine that you are in the company of a kind, attentive helper — a person, animal, ancestral spirit, or angel that you either know well or haven’t met yet. Spend at least five minutes visualizing a scene in which this ally aids you in fulfilling a particular goal. The Helper Experiment, Part Two: Repeat this exercise every day for the next seven days. Each time, visualize your helper making your life better in some specific way. Now here’s my prediction: Carrying out the Helper Experiment will attract actual support into your real life.

Homework: Happiness, that elusive beast, may need to be tracked through the bushes before capture. What’s your game plan for hunting down happiness? Truthrooster@gmail.com

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) : It’s swing-swirl-spiral time, Leo. It’s ripple-sway-flutter time and flow-gush-gyrate time and jive-jiggle-juggle time. So I trust you will not indulge in fruitless yearnings for unswerving progress and rock-solid evidence. If your path is not twisty and tricky, it’s probably the wrong path. If your heart isn’t teased and tickled into shedding its dependable formulas, it might be an overly hard heart. Be an improvisational curiosity-seeker. Be a principled player of unpredictable games.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some English-speaking astronomers use the humorous slang term “meteor-wrong.”

It refers to a rock that is at first thought to have fallen from the heavens as a meteorite (“meteor-right”), but that is ultimately proved to be of terrestrial origin.

I suspect there may currently be the metaphorical equivalent of a meteor-wrong in your life. The source of some new arrival or fresh influence is not what it had initially seemed. But that doesn’t have to be a problem. On the contrary. Once you have identified the true nature of the new arrival or fresh influence, it’s likely to be useful and interesting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most of us can’t tickle ourselves.

Since we have conscious control of our fingers, we know we can stop any time. Without the element of uncertainty, our squirm reflex doesn’t kick in. But

I’m wondering if you might get a temporary exemption from this rule in the coming weeks. I say this because the astrological omens suggest you will have an extraordinary capacity to surprise yourself. Novel impulses will be rising up in you on a regular basis.

Unpredictability and spontaneity will be your specialties. Have fun doing what you don’t usually do!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the final 10 weeks of 2016, your physical and mental health will flourish in direct proportion to how much outworn and unnecessary stuff you flush out of your life between now and October 25. Here are some suggested tasks: (1) Perform a homemade ritual that will enable you to magically shed at least half of your guilt, remorse, and regret.

(2) Put on a festive party hat, gather up all the clutter and junk from your home, and drop it off at a thrift store or the dump. (3) Take a vow that you will do everything in your power to kick your attachment to an influence that’s no damn good for you. (4) Scream nonsense curses at the night sky for as long as it takes to purge your sadness and anger about pain that no longer matters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A Buddhist monk named Matthieu Ricard had his brain scanned while he meditated. The experiment revealed that the positive emotions whirling around in his gray matter were super-abundant.

Various publications thereafter dubbed him “the happiest person in the world.” Since he’s neither egotistical nor fond of the media’s simplistic sound bites, he’s not happy about that title. I hope you won’t have a similar reaction when I predict that you Sagittarians will be the happiest tribe of the zodiac during the next two weeks. For best results, I suggest you cultivate Ricard’s definitions of happiness: “altruism and compassion, inner freedom (so that you are not the slave of your own thoughts), senses of serenity and fulfillment, resilience, as well as a clear and stable mind that does not distort reality too much.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) : Now is a perfect moment to launch or refine a project that will generate truth, beauty, and justice. Amazingly enough, now is also an excellent time to lunch or refine a long-term master plan that will make you healthy, wealthy, and wise. Is this a coincidence? Not at all. The astrological omens suggest that your drive to be of noble service dovetails well with your drive for personal success. For the foreseeable future, unselfish goals are well-aligned with selfish goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) : Has your world become at least 20 percent larger since September 1? Has your generosity grown to near-heroic proportions? Have your eyes beheld healing sights that were previously invisible to you? Have you lost at least two of your excuses for tolerating scrawny expectations? Are you awash in the desire to grant forgiveness and amnesty? If you can’t answer yes to at least two of those questions, Aquarius, it means you’re not fully in harmony with your best possible destiny. So get to work! Attune yourself to the cosmic tendencies! And if you are indeed reaping the benefits I mentioned, congratulations — and prepare for even further expansions and liberations.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Some astrologers dwell on your tribe’s phobias. They assume that you Pisceans are perversely drawn to fear; that you are addicted to the strong feelings it generates. In an effort to correct this distorted view, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I hereby declare the coming weeks to be a Golden Age for Your Trust in Life. It will be prime time to exult in everything that evokes your joy and excitement. I suggest you make a list of these glories, and keep adding new items to the list every day. Here’s another way to celebrate the Golden Age: Discover and explore previously unknown sources of joy and excitement.

Legals Administer of Estate NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: GARY SCOTT COOKE NO: 16PR00434 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of GARY SCOTT COOKE, GARY S. COOKE, GARY COOKE A PETITION FOR PROBATE: has been filed by: TERI L. COOKE in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that TERI L. COOKE be appointed as personal representatives to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: on 11/10/2016 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Anacapa Division.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special form is available from the court clerk.
