“Covering a wildfire from a desk in the safety of an air-conditioned office isn’t as cool as it might sound,” Keith Hamm—pictured here interviewing Mark von Tillow, incident commander for the Whittier Fire—said wryly. But he spent Monday in the Santa Ynez Valley, seemingly on another planet as the green of San Marcos Pass had turned into a black, white, and gray moonscape of Whittier’s path, hazy with smoke and the smell of oily, charred wood. Bumping up the narrow dirt road to Circle V, he thought of the 150 people who rode out the worst of the Whittier Fire: “It’s amazing they all got out of here unscathed.” The full story starts on page 14.

NEWS of the WEEK pau l wellm an

by Kelsey Brugger @kelseybrugger, Keith hamm, tyler hayden @TylerHayden1, and nicK Welsh, with Independent staff

news Briefs county The Board of Supervisors joined the growing faction of counties, cities, and corporations opposing President Donald Trump’s decision to back out of the Paris Accord, the international agreement to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. The resolution — sponsored by supervisors Das Williams and Joan Hartmann — notes Santa Barbara adopted a Climate Change Action Plan and required companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1,000 metric tons a year (the strongest restrictions in California). Conservative Supervisor Peter Adam objected, noting that weather forecasters don’t even know if it’ll rain next week.

The county’s opioid-related death rate in 2015 was almost twice the statewide average, according to recent statistics. Santa Barbara County reported a death rate of 7.7 deaths per 100,000 people; statewide, the figure is 4.73. Smaller, more rural counties report the highest death rate: 27 deaths per 100,000. The county’s opioid prescription rate is 618.5 per 1,000 residents, slightly higher than the statewide average of 587. The most dramatic spike in opioid prescriptions was in 2009, from 401 per 1,000 to 648.

Burn Out Near Cachuma

The Whittier Fire, which flared into life on Saturday afternoon, now straddles the Santa Ynez range roughly six miles west of the City of Goleta. It blazed up near Cachuma Lake so fiercely that cars along the road were consumed, like this one here and also a Sheriff’s vehicle that was left parked on State Route 154 when the deputy joined the team rescuing a group of children trapped at Circle V Ranch Camp. The events of that fire, 48 percent contained at press time, occupy our cover story, which starts on page 14.

Sheriff Brown: Outspoken ‘Sanctuary State’ Critic

by Kelsey Brugger ast week, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown testified in Sacramento to strongly oppose Senate Bill 54, commonly known as the “sanctuary state” bill.

The measure proposes to be part of California’s rejection of President Donald Trump’s intensified immigration enforcement. But most California sheriffs and law enforcement associations worry the bill would harm public safety.

“This bill, in its current form, provides sanctuary for criminals,” Brown told the Assembly’s Judiciary Committee, where the bill passed 8-3. (In April, the bill passed the Senate on a 27-12 vote. It is expected to reach the full Assembly later this summer.)

Simply put, SB 54 would limit cooperation between local law enforcement agencies and the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. It would, among other things, preclude peace officers from inquiring about an inmate’s immigration status, prevent ICE agents from interview-

L

ing individuals in custody, and prohibit sheriffs from notifying ICE when they plan to release requested inmates.

As written, the bill allows some exceptions. For instance, sheriff ’s officials could notify ICE agents when violent or serious felons were going to be released (because they posted bail or completed their sentence). But exactly what constitutes “violent” or “serious” remains the subject of debate.

Brown — who was recently elected president of the California State Sheriffs’ Association — contended the bill would prohibit his deputies from relaying information about “clear menaces.” He pointed to those convicted of domestic violence, solicitation of murder, repeat drunk driving, and assault with a deadly weapon, among others. “What about drug dealers? What about burglars?” he asked.

Says Senate Bill 54 Will Harm Public Safety

Santa Barbaran Curtis Oshock, 62, was pronounced dead after being fished out of the water a mile off Stearns Wharf on 7/9 when his sailboat capsized.

He and three passengers were tossed overboard; none of the four were wearing safety vests. After receiving a Mayday call around 3 p.m., emergency responders found Oshock unconscious but being held aloft — reportedly for 10 minutes — by a fellow passenger. Oshock’s death brings the total of waterfront-related deaths this year to three.

A string of bank robberies — four publicly reported since April — continued on 7/7 at Goleta’s Golden 1 Credit Union at 5676 Calle Real.

A Sheriff’s Air Support helicopter and a deputyand-dog team were unable to find the suspect, described as an older white man with gray hair, about 5’6” and 260 pounds, wearing a black ball cap, a description that matches the suspect in two Carpinteria bank robberies.

The death of Davies Kabogoza, 30, who fell into Santa Barbara Harbor while stand-up paddleboarding on 4/29, was ruled an accidental drowning by the County Coroner. Kabogoza did not know how to swim and was wearing a flotation device improperly.

city Sheriff Bill Brown Of the roughly 16,000 inmates incarcerated in County Jail last year, ICE agents picked up 250, according to Brown. Of those, he said, 200 were eventually deported.

Immigrant activists, however, argue the bill would stop ICE officials—under Trump’s orders — from stomping on local police

After much complaining about its harmful impact, not one food truck operator showed up to testify about the new zoning ordinance on 7/11. It allows them to operate up to four hours a day in private parking lots in the city, which is currently prohibited. Operators had complained restrictions were driving them out of town, criticizing City Hall’s indifference. City planners noted the new zoning rules are the first to acknowledge n the rights of such operations.

“A series of drunk driving [convictions] might be something different. We have got to get to that balance.” Jackson added that the bill’s language was pulled from California’s three-strikes law, which, she argued, is “one of the toughest in the nation.”

But in closing remarks last week, Brown argued that 15 El Salvadoran and Nicaraguan MS-13 gang members charged with killing 15 people in Santa Maria were all undocumented. Of those, three had prior criminal convictions, but none would have met the exceptions in SB 54. He added that his deputies currently work with federal agents to investigate panga boats caught trafficking drugs or human beings. Though the bill allows local sheriffs to work with ICE agents on a task force, Brown said that arrangement would be too formal for their immediate needs.

But negotiations are not over. Mike Durant, a Santa Barbara County senior deputy sheriff, is the president of PORAC (Peace Officers Research Association of California), which opposed SB 54 and is known to be a heavy hitter in Sacramento.

For his part, Brown said he could support a bill that simply said local law enforcement should not engage in “frontline immigration enforcement.” Or one that prevented sheriffs from holding inmates requested by ICE agents in violation of federal law. Those already “reflect our beliefs and current practices,” he said.

Brown said he has plans to meet next week with the bill’s author, Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León. “I will take him at his word he intends to do that,” he said.

Asked how optimistic he feels, he said,“I just n don’t know at this point.”

efforts. They worry a heavy ICE presence in immigrant communities would prevent residents from reporting crimes to police.

Santa Barbara County is home to an estimated 40,000 undocumented immigrants —roughly 10 percent of the total population.

All eyesGOLETA are now on Assemblymember Monique Limón, who has Aveyet to announce 5757 Hollister her position. “I am planning to wait until the final language of the bill,” she said, which “might be right before it gets to a vote.”

She emphasized she has been supportive of other bills protecting vulnerable communities. One would require ICE agents to obtain a warrant to access a workplace (Assembly Bill 450) and another would provide grant money for certain immigration legal fees (AB 3). But “SB 54 is the only one getting talked about,” she said.

Asked precisely what amendment SB 54 would need for her support, Limón could not say.“I don’t think [it’s] something specifically,” she said. “For me, it has been important to include all of the voices.” Also, Limón added, the bill would not actually create a “sanctuary state.” “We as a state cannot stop ICE from providing enforcement in our state,” she said.

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson voted for SB 54. “We don’t want our tax money to be used to have ICE do something we don’t agree with,” she said. Though acknowledging concerns raised by county sheriffs, she noted that law enforcement tends to have a broader view of who qualifies as a violent or serious criminal.

For instance, the degree to which drunk GOLETA Ave 5757 Hollister driving is considered a potentially deportable offense is somewhat controversial. “Are we talking about one DUI?” Jackson asked.

Incumbent Councilmember Gregg Hart will be facing opposition from alt-transit champion and former vacation-rental entrepreneur Jack Ucciferri to represent the city’s downtown, District Six. Former fire chief Warner McGrew announced that he will be running for council to represent San Roque, District Five, against Eric Friedman, who worked as administrative assistant to Salud Carbajal when he was county supervisor. And attorney James F. Scafide will be running against Planning Commissioner Jay Higgins for District Four, encompassing much of the Riviera.

City Hall was forced to embrace district elections as settlement to a lawsuit alleging lack of diversity on the council. Of the candidates, Murillo and Martinez have Spanish surnames; Murillo is an American-born Latina and Martinez a Cuban-born immigrant. Four of the candidates are either incumbent city councilmembers about to be termed out or a former councilmember.

This year’s election defies easy prognostication, and candidates have a month to turn in the requisite number of registered city voters’ signatures to qualify for this November’s ballot.

Losing Homes to Hotels Resistance Grows Against Vacation-Rental Conversions

resh battle lines have been drawn in Santa Barbara’s housing wars as opposition from unexpected angles has popped up against short-term vacation rental operators attempting to legally convert their properties from residential to “hotel” use in order to comply with new city regulations.

Since April, the city’s Historic Landmarks Commission and Architectural Board of Review —typically concerned only with vetting building aesthetics—have denied three conversion proposals on land-use grounds, arguing they were “not consistent with the principles of sound community planning” because they would remove valuable housing from Santa Barbara’s already critically room at tHe inn?

annabis experts conservatively estimate that one million pounds of pot will be harvested this year in Santa Barbara County. That translates to 450 million grams (or doobies). And this is just the beginning.

A total of 534 individuals signed up for the county’s cannabis registry. More than 200 operators said they are already growing weed—on 396 acres—and 506 new cultivators hope to begin planting on 1,126 acres.

Since California legalized recreational marijuana last November, county officials have been working to regulate the industry. But it is still the Wild West. “The weird, counterintuitive thing is if you want more enforcement on marijuana, we have to permit marijuana,” County Supervisor Das Williams told growers and their concerned neighbors at a July 11 hearing. Williams and fellow supervisor Steve Lavagnino are heading the county’s effort to draft a cannabis ordinance, and Lavagnino agreed: “We have a lot of ambiguity in the existing law.”

ZinKe’s decision: It’s up to Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke to decide if the Carrizo Plain National Monument boundaries should be adjusted to allow for new oil and gas development.

public process had been shortchanged in drawing up the Carrizo Plain boundaries, citing the many public hearings and stakeholder meetings that took place. Though several oil operations with preexisting leases are still allowed on 6,000 acres, he noted that of 267 exploratory oil wells drilled on the Carrizo Plain since 1901, not one has been commercially viable.

Congressmember Salud Carbajal said he’s written Secretary Zinke to discuss the issue, but to date Zinke has not replied. Two representatives with California districts signed the letter, Tom McClintock and Doug LaMalfa, both known as outspoken conser—Nick Welsh vatives.

Reduce test anxiety!

eventeen Republican members of Congress signed a letter to Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke asking that he reduce the boundaries of the Carrizo Plain National Monument, established by President Bill Clinton in 2001. Members of what’s known as the Western Caucus, they want to expand oil and gas exploration on what’s now a roughly 250,000-acre natural sanctuary. They argued that one-quarter of the Carrizo Plain sits above “rich fossil fuel basins” and that President Clinton cut Congress and the public out of the process “in an effort to block any oil and gas exploration.”

The letter, dated June 30, came in response to President Trump’s Executive Order to reexamine the boundaries of 27 national monuments, with a keen eye toward greater mineral extraction or grazing. The deadline for public comment was July 10; of the 15,000 comments submitted, the overwhelming majority supported the existing boundaries.

Spearheading that effort was Jeff Kuyper of Los Padres ForestWatch, who noted that the “Gang of 17,” as he called the Republicans, was a small fraction of the 71 who make up the Western Caucus. Conspicuously absent was the signature of House Whip Kevin McCarthy, who represents Kern County, where the richest petroleum portion of the plain is situated. Kuyper also denied that the

In fact, the existing law does not actually exist. In January 2016, the county supervisors hastily adopted a moratorium on all new medical marijuana cultivation that exempted current growers. But many Carpinteria residents claim new growers took advantage of this loophole and started growing illegally. In any case, new state law will require everyone to apply for new permits next year.

The burning question is the tax rate, which must be approved by voters. County Supervisor Peter Adam, who owns a large family farm in Santa Maria, was adamantly opposed to a flat tax on square footage.

The alternatives, Lavagnino said, are taxing weight or percentage of gross receipts. The state of California plans to tax cannabis on cultivation at a rate of $148 per pound of pot flowers. That’s $148 million in Santa Barbara County—by conservative estimates.

Boom Lowered on Sprinters Contractor Vans Caught in Cross Fire as City Cracks Down on RV Dwellers

by Nick Welsh ome September 5, city police will begin ticketing popular high-profile vans — often described as “Sprinters”— as well as recreational vehicles (RVs), long favored by the quasi-homeless, that are parked on city streets without a permit. City Attorney Ariel Calonne, who spearheaded the new ordinance language, estimated there are 1,063 Sprinter vans within city limits whose owners could be affected. That doesn’t count those driven by commuters and visitors.

When the council sought to crack down on RV dwellers nearly two years ago — at the instigation of upper Eastside residents upset by clusters of RV campers showing up on their streets — Calonne sought to craft an enforcement tool based on the size of the vehicles rather than the socioeconomic status of their occupants. He argued they constituted traffic safety hazards because they blocked views. In so doing, Calonne inadvertently wound up also banning from street parking a new breed of tall vehicles popular with building contractors, surfers, and many small businesses. Only after the council voted in favor of this blanket ban eight months ago did the Sprinter community surface, outraged to realize they were also affected.

Calonne sought to delay enforcement in order to create a permitting process for those who rely on such vehicles for work. Based on public comment at this Tuesday’s council meeting, it would appear Calonne failed to persuade many skeptics despite obviously exhaustive exertions.

For the first time ever, longtime homelesscivil-rights advocate Peter Marin and Chamber of Commerce chief Ken Oplinger found themselves on the same side. Oplinger said the ordinance should be “killed.” Marin has repeatedly vowed to sue. Oplinger expressed outrage that innocent small-business owners have been caught up in an effort, which he supports, to target RV dwellers. Marin complained the poor and disabled living in RVs would not be able to pay the inevitable accumulation of parking tickets — or the $1,700 required to get their impounded vehicles out of hock. These people, he charged, would wind up on the streets. “I don’t think you want to do this,” he said.

Only two councilmembers — Cathy Murillo and Gregg Hart— Hart agreed with him.

The other five argued that Calonne had done yeoman’s work trying to accommodate the Sprinter community. Permits could be obtained by anyone with a business license to

park on city streets for up to 10 days during any three-month period. Councilmember Frank Hotchkiss expressed little sympathy for the self-described small business owners.

First off, “obey the law,” he said. “If you have problems with that, you need to look into the mirror.”

The council did vote, however, to dramatically reduce the fees that City Hall planned to charge oversized-vehicle owners for onstreet parking permits. Initially, the amount proposed was $650. The council reduced that to $100 for the first vehicle and $50 for every addition.

Initially, much of the controversy surrounding the ordinance focused on the RV owners who parked at night in various parking lots as part of a city-sanctioned transitional housing program run by New Beginnings. Where could these clients go during daylight hours and be safe from parking tickets? Many months of effort to secure 40 daytime parking spaces yielded only eight.

Mayor Helene Schneider reported that 10 new spaces may have been found, and with “a little more elbow grease,” perhaps the 40 spaces needed could be located.

The rationale behind the ordinance is that the bigger vehicles — defined as anything wider than 80 inches, taller than 82 inches, or longer than 25 feet—are a public nuisance in terms of traffic safety. Oplinger from the Chamber of Commerce noted that city traf traffic engineers couldn’t cite a single accident caused by these vehicles. When neighborhood activists demanded new stop signs, he added, they had to show that a documented and not just hypothetical problem existed.

A representative from Cox Communications complained that under the new ordinance, 14 Cox employees wouldn’t be able to take their work vans home and park on city streets. These workers, she noted, frequently responded to late-night emergency-service calls and needed their vans. “We’re not talking about people watching Gilligan’s Island at 2 in the morning,” she said.

Under the new ordinance language, Cox vans would be exempt from the parking restrictions, but the home-parking option is finished. Councilmember Randy Rowse responded that public streets can’t be used for private car storage. When it was over, about the only person happy was Fred Sweeney, the upper Eastside neighborhood agitator who led the charge. As for the contractors using Sprinter vans, Sweeney complained they were choking his neighborhood streets as well. “I’m saying I’m not sympathetic to their dilemma,” he declared. n

he first 24 hours of the Whittier Fire, which started at 1:45 p.m. on Saturday, July 8 — as a heat wave breached 100 degrees and with forecasted sundowners on the way — have proved to be the wildfire’s most dangerous. Within minutes, the blaze forced the evacuation of thousands of campers in and around Cachuma Lake Recreation Area and nearby Paradise Road, leaving eerie ghost towns of pitched tents and picnic tables littered with leftover lunch as motorists sped away, towing RV trailers, awnings twisted in the wind. Across Highway 154, on the back slope of the Santa Ynez mountain range, is Camp Whittier, where the fire originated.

Michael Baker, CEO of the United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County, which owns the camp, said half a dozen staffers and 80 campers were able to escape with only moments to spare. The fire destroyed one residence and a maintenance shed, but other buildings survived, which Baker credited to recent brush-clearing. Baker didn’t know what

started the blaze and has not been allowed into the area.“The cause remains under investigation,” said Andrew Madsen, an information officer with the U.S. Forest Service, the fire’s lead agency.

From Camp Whittier, the conflagration spread rapidly eastward, trapping dozens of children and counselors at nearby Circle V Ranch Camp (read about their rescue on page 18) and destroying more structures before jumping into the next canyon, at Rancho Alegre, where it consumed more structures, numerous vehicles, and turned hills of rolling green chaparral into an ashen moonscape. Volunteers from animal welfare organizations rushed to rescue the many animals, large and small, trapped in the surrounding areas. (See “Animals Lost and Saved” on page 16.)

Two Santa Barbara County Fire Department veterans said the Whittier grew faster than any wildfire in recent memory.

terrain will increasingly threaten firefighter safety.“A lot of oak trees are coming down because they’ve been burning for three or four days,” said Dennis Burns, a fire behavior specialist, briefing the night-shift crew.“The terrain is very bad, so do not get complacent,” added John “Pancho” Smith, Santa Barbara District Ranger of Los Padres National Forest.

Crews and administrators are working the blaze with fewer resources and battling a much heavier load of combustible material than years past (more on that in “Accentuating the Extreme,” page 15). Of the 14 active wildfires in the state, four are bigger than 10,000 acres, and two of those, the Whittier and Alamo fires, are in Santa Barbara County. Approaching 30,000 acres in size, the Alamo Fire is the Golden State’s most massive active wildfire (see page 19 for more).

Since Sunday, temperatures dropped considerably as the marine layer thickened, helping to cool down Whittier’s scary weekend climb over the ridge, which forced evacuations along western Goleta’s Farren Road.

While evacuation mandates and warnings were still in place at print deadline Wednesday morning, the fire is 48 percent contained. There have been no reported injuries. n

t 6:22 last Thursday evening, July 6, snowflakes of ash began falling in downtown Santa Barbara, thanks to one of the Central Coast’s recent wildfires, bathing everything — and everyone — in that sickly beautiful translucence that can only be generated by an inferno. As the sun went down, the moon rose — full, round, and a deep blood orange. Photographers rushed to capture the astonishing night sky. But for those of us who have witnessed years of vast wildland blazes rampaging throughout Southern California, such visual poetics have long lost their appeal. The “new normal” is too scary to be aesthetically savored. Not long ago, California had something known as a fire season. No more. “When veteran firefighters with 30 to 40 years’ experience looked at what’s been happening, they described it as ‘unprecedented,’ ” said Janet Upton, spokesperson for Cal Fire. “But after the same thing happens year after year, you really can’t call it ‘unprecedented’ anymore.” Hence the “new normal.”

From January 1-July 9, 2016, Cal Fire reported 2,270 fires on the more than 31 million acres for which it’s responsible. This year, there have been nearly 700 more; the burned acreage has more than doubled, jumping from 30,574 to 68,129. And that

California Has already Had 3,449 Forest Fires this Year, and it’s not over Yet by nick Welsh

doesn’t count the number of fires blazing away on the 31 million acres controlled by the United States Forest Service. Year to date, California has experienced 3,449 forest fires consuming 92,439 acres. Little wonder, then, that when the Whittier Fire started near Lake Cachuma last week, there were already 35 other fires burning elsewhere in California — 14, including Whittier, of which have been deemed serious. The biggest is just up Highway 101, eight miles east of Santa Maria; that’s the Alamo Fire, which, at last count, has voraciously consumed nearly 30,000 acres. With so many fires raging, it’s no surprise that Whittier or Alamo couldn’t get the same resources — firefighters, engines, fixed-wing aircraft — that Santa Barbara got last year when we needed to put out the now all-but-forgotten Sherpa Fire.

Like its rainfall, California’s forest fires are part of a natural dynamic dating back millions of years: feast or famine, boom or bust. Even without human intervention, California cycles gravitate toward the extreme. But those extremes are growing. Climate change is a main suspect. Last year, for example, the National Academy of Sciences concluded in a published report that during the past 30 years climate change has doubled the amount of western United States acreage experiencing forest fires, and the landmass temperature of the country has risen 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The same study also concluded that climate change is not the only factor fueling the flames. During the past 100 years, forest fires — naturally occurring phenomena — have been ruthlessly extinguished throughout the same region, allowing a proliferation of biofuels just waiting to be ignited. Republicans in Congress have seized upon this latter interpretation as an excuse to open the forests up to logging interests. One such bill is now wending its way through Congress. Santa Barbara Congressmember Salud Carbajal, a Democrat, is opposing it.

Thinning Santa Barbara’s oaks would probably have had little impact on the Whittier Fire. UCLA ecology professor Cont’D on p. 17

through the grounds of Rancho Alegre Saturday afternoon, July 8. Ten staff members were able to escape with four cats by literally stepping through flames of the encroaching fire, said Scout Executive Carlos Cortez for the Los Padres Boy Scouts Council. The council, which owns the ranch, operates The Outdoor School, a residential science program, during the school year and a sleepaway Boy Scout camp in the summer. The staff hopes that their beloved pet tortoise, which had just been released, was able to survive by burrowing into the ground.

Meanwhile, at nearby Saint Francis Ranch, six zebras and 12 rare Watusi cattle were spared. “Saint Francis must have been looking down on us,” said ranch owner Alexandra Geremia, who was in Santa Ynez when she got news of a brush fire at Camp Whittier.

by Jackie Botts Given no time to evacuate, employees moved the zebras and cattle to a patch of grassless pasture, hoping the fire would not find any fuel there to burn. It worked.

The animals “stayed very calm, as if they knew what to do,” said Geremia. “We were very lucky.”

As the fire grew to 7,800 acres on Saturday night and threatened to crest the Santa Ynez Mountains, a number of large and small animals fell under the evacuation order.

Working with the Santa Barbara Humane Society and the Santa Barbara Equine Assistance and Evacuation Team, S.B. County Animal Services housed four horses at the Earl Warren Showgrounds, two in stables at UCSB, and one at the Humane Society, according to Animal Services Director Jan Glick. The Humane Society had also taken in eight cats, four dogs, four birds, and one guinea pig.

Meanwhile, in the vicin- GET YOUR GOAT: Livestock evacuations ity of the Alamo Fire near are a common occurrence during Santa Maria, Animal Services wildfires in Santa Barbara County. and the Santa Maria Valley Humane Society have sheltered five goats, 39 dogs, and 27 cats. Horse Emergency Evacuation Team (HEET) volunteers from San Luis Obispo are tending four horses that were evacuated to the Elks Rodeo grounds.

Rumors that Santa Barbara’s Earl Warren Showgrounds would not accept evacuated horses due to the Santa Barbara National Horse Show are false, according to its CEO, Scott Grieve. The Showgrounds had been accepting evacuated horses all weekend and “will not turn any horse away,” he said. During the Jesusita Fire, the Showgrounds stabled 140 horses, according to Grieve, and there are far more stalls than that still available.“We will bend over backward to help out,” he added, asking horse owners to give advance notice by calling 687-0766.

One volunteer recounted the challenge of evacuating four countyowned and three recently adopted horses for the Horse Project, an initiative of the S.B. County Animal Care Foundation, which rescues and rehabilitates abused horses. Several horses had to be sedated before they could be transported. “They were picking up on the danger long before we were.”

Glick urged large animal owners: “When you get the warning, get n your animals out.”

AccentuAting the extreme cont’d from P. 15

CLEANUP ON HWY. 154: Firefighters quickly jumped on the northern edge (above) of the Whittier Fire as it jumped the highway near Cachuma Lake. Below, Rancho Alegre’s fire danger is a sign of the times. and wildfire expert Glen MacDonald said this year’s heavy rains — arriving on the heels of a prolonged bone-cracking drought — is driving the proliferation of these early wildfires. Dennis Burns, a wildfire behavior analyst with the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department who is now working on the Whittier Fire, said,“Normally, we estimate there’s a quarter-ton to a ton of grass per acre. This year, it’s two to three tons an acre.” The valley grasses are deep enough to catch fire even when soaked with the orange flameretardant chemicals dropped from planes. Normally, the valley chaparral secretes natural oils that prevent undergrowth, but in this wet year, those oils were diluted, allowing grassy fuels to thrive.

The cost of containing backcountry wildfires has grown so dramatically that about 70 percent of Los Padres National Forest’s budget is consumed by fire suppression. For the U.S. Forest Service, that number is closer to 50 percent across the nation, a stark jump from 16 percent in 1995. Cal Fire spends roughly half a billion dollars a year fighting fires on its lands. With state and federal budgets constrained, frictions are rising. California’s director of the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (OES), Mark Ghilarducci, vented earlier this month in a letter to the Forest Service Chief Thomas Tidwell, all but accusing him of short-changing California local fire departments for services rendered on federal Forest Service lands to the tune of $18 million.

California relies on a web of “mutual aid” agreements among federal, state, and local firefighting agencies to keep wildfires in check. Underpinning this system is the expectation that everyone gets paid. “I cannot continue to support the deployment of resources to protect federal land that ultimately may bankrupt our local governments,” Ghilarducci wrote Tidwell. Some in the Forest Service are privately seething over what they term a gratuitously “ludicrous” letter — delivered at the height of fire season.

Late Tuesday, Tidwell responded sharply to Ghilarducci after first affirming the Forest Service’s commitment to collaboration. “We respect the actions of all firefighting personnel who serve side by side on the wildfires in California where we don’t all wear blue or green uniforms, but yellow that signifies our shared unity.” Tidwell then noted that $14 million of the $18 million had already been paid to local firefighting agencies and that half of the remaining $4 million is currently being processed. Tidwell added that a recent federal audit “found that local cooperators [in California] used excessive and unreasonable indirect costs for activities,” including $4.5 million in administrative costs charged by nine California agencies. “It was determined the Forest Service was overpaying local governments during that period and that controls need to be in place to ensure they did not occur again.” These tensions between California and the feds hardly sprang up overnight, and based upon the letter exchange, they’re not going away anytime soon. Tidwell closed by chastising the OES for not providing the proper invoices needed for bills to be paid. “Despite our efforts for the past several years, we have had marginal compliance from the OES staff.”

The issue is hardly new.“We’re talking hundreds of millions of dollars system-wide,” said Santa Barbara Fire Chief Pat McElroy.

He said the Forest Service still owes his department $90,000, but that Santa Barbara can weather the delay. If you’re a small agency, he said, “a $50,000 bill that goes unpaid year after year can kill you.” While such disputes might consume the federal and state higher-ups,“It’s not affecting how anyone is fighting this fire,” he said.

It’s true that Whittier incident command has faced keen competition for resources, McElroy noted, but he insisted the fire would still be burning even if they got everything they wanted. “It’s not like you go in with a pitcher of water and pour it on the fire,” he said.“You paint it in a box and keep it there. If we had everything we wanted, we’d be able to fight it differently, but we’d still be fighting it.”

oments after the Whittier Fire sparked to life just off Highway 154 near Lake Cachuma on Saturday, July 8, U.S. Forest Service patrolman Dave Dahlberg was dispatched to the scene to make sure those fleeing the blaze didn’t get in the way of arriving emergency crews. As California Highway Patrol officers arrived to take over traffic control, Dahlberg heard radio chatter that a large group of kids and counselors were at nearby Circle V Ranch Camp, trapped at the end of a narrow dirt road that was engulfed on both sides by raging walls of wildfire. Dahlberg jumped into his patrol vehicle and started up the road toward Circle V; just ahead, veteran Santa Barbara County firefighter Mark Linane Jr. bulldozed fallen trees and loose

how 90 children, their counselors, a forest service Patrolman, and a santa Barbara firefighter faced the flames

by Keith Hamm boulders, clearing the only way in or out.

The smoke was so thick that the men could barely see a few feet up the path.

Arriving ahead of the flames, Linane began cutting firebreaks around the compound—a dining commons, cabins, and outbuildings — and Dahlberg introduced himself to dozens of staffers and counselors, who, following the camp’s established fire plan, had gathered the kids, ages 7-13, in the dining hall and were working to keep them safe and calm. A handful of vehicles were parked nearby, but any attempt to shuttle 90 kids through the oncoming fire seemed like a bad idea.

Dahlberg radioed Santa Barbara County Fire Marshal Steve Oaks, who was monitoring the evacuation from the bottom of the access road at Highway 154 and kept in radio contact with his own team.

Also on the scene was Forest Service Division Chief Mark von Tillow, who knew the

area from hosting annual wildfire training camps at Circle V. Dahlberg reported that everybody was accounted for and safe — so far.

As erratic winds whipped the flames up the mountain, adults organized into groups moving natural gas canisters far away from the dining hall and covering the windows with blankets. Their plan was to shelter in place, essentially to ride out the approaching wildfire until rescue crews could punch through the damaged roadway, according to Forest Service Public Affairs Officer Andrew Madsen.“Dahlberg provided a calming influence on the other adults,” he reported, “which helped keep the kids calm. He told them, ‘You’re safe, and we’re going to wait for the fire to blow by, and then we’ll get you out of here.’ ” Stressful situations, especially when the lives of children are at stake, have a way of creating versions of the truth and even altering time itself. For instance, when Oaks reflected on the evacuation 48 hours later, he admitted the whole incident felt like it lasted only 90 minutes, when in fact the kids didn’t make it out until 6:30 that evening, almost five hours after their initial call for help. Von Tillow, now the fire’s incident commander, described Dahlberg and the campers as waiting out the firestorm in the middle of Circle V’s large sports field, an expanse of artificial turf open to the sky and away from dry grass and woodland with a nearby swimming pool as a shelter of last resort. But according to Madsen, who said he discussed events with Dahlberg, the group sheltered inside the dining commons, with only a backup plan of moving en masse to the ball field. Dahlberg, who is still working 12-hour shifts fighting the fire, could not be reached before deadline.

Also, Circle V campers and counselors have asked for privacy, according to a representative of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Council of Los Angeles, which owns the camp; the representative, however, confirmed Dahlberg’s story.

In any case, it’s accurate to say the fire raged on, fueled by howling after-

Gene passed away at home with loving family on June 20, 2017 after a heroic battle with cancer. He was born in Colorado on September 21, 1942 and moved to Southern California with his family as a young child. His last twenty years were spent in Santa Barbara. Salesman extraordinaire, Gene loved his work as a Manufacturers Representative in the electrical industry where his customers all became life long friends.

He is survived by his loving partner of 25 years, Nancy Darrow, one sister Helen Schafer, his children, Kevin Peterson (Joanna), Kristine Peterson, Keri McGrail (Mark), and numerous grandchildren totally devoted to their Grandpa/Papa Gene.

Gene will be remembered for his generosity, warmth, outgoing personality, humor and love for life. He loved his work, golf, traveling with Nancy and spending time with family and friends.

Beloved partner, dad, grandpa, friend, we will miss you terribly but our memories of you will be with us always.

Funeral arrangements will be held privately by the family.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara.

She attended Montecito Union, Dolores, Mount Carmel and Santa Barbara Catholic High School and graduated from Immaculate Heart College. After graduation Barbara had a long career as a Lab Technologist at the Santa Barbara Medical Foundation Clinic.

It was at the beach that Barbara met her husband of 56 years, Charles (Chuck) Stevens. She was invited by friends to go waterskiing and Chuck had the boat, and that was the beginning of many years spent together waterskiing with friends, going to “the lake”, and later in life, many cruises to destinations around the world (she loved the water.) Barbara and Chuck’s other passion was volleyball. They played together, and met many of their closest friends, at parks, gyms and East Beach.

They also watched more UCSB, Santa Barbara Spikers, high school, and beach volleyball games than almost anyone around. Barbara especially enjoyed watching her children and grandchildren play the game she loved.

Barbara is survived by her loving husband Chuck, her children Sharon Estabrooks (Phil), Bruce Stevens (Tracy), her grandchildren Kyle Estabrooks, Sean Estabrooks, Taryn Stevens and Tanner Stevens, and her brother Patrick Rogers (Patty), niece Pam MacFarlane, niece Kathy Mohammadi, and nephew Michael Rogers and their families. She was preceded in death by her infant son Mark.

Per her request, no services will be held. If you wish to make a donation in her remembrance, she suggested the UCSB Men’s Volleyball Legacy Fund for Excellence, Friends of East Beach Association, or a charity of your choice.

Born Tsai Hsiu Hua, Grace took her appropriate name in an English class. When Grace was 20 years old, she moved to America to study English and ended up getting a travel and tourism degree in Dayton, Ohio. She moved back to Taiwan and led international tours around the world for many years.

She settled back into Taiwan and was selling imports when she met her future husband Scott Kipp. A little over a year later, they were married in 1998 and honeymooned in Bali.

Grace and Scott moved back to the US and traveled in a conversion van across the US for 4 months before settling in Phoenix and then Westminster, Colorado.

Grace graduated with a Culinary Arts degree in 2006 from Johnson and Wales University in Denver where she fell in love with making fine western cuisine. She worked various jobs at fine restaurants before they moved to Kansas City and then into an RV. Scott and Grace traveled across the US for a year in a huge 5th wheel trailer before house sitting for friends in Morgan Hill for 18 months.

They moved to Santa Barbara in 2012 and fell in love with the American Riviera. Grace was active in the Taiwanese community, the Lawn Bowling Club and the Sierra Club. She would regularly go on hikes and runs and her favorite hike was to Franceschi Park. Grace worked for US Foods, Santa Barbara BBQ and the Center for Spiritual Renewal at La Casa de Santa Maria.

Grace would never turn down a chance to travel and went around the world with Scott in 2011. They climbed to Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal and went to Europe annually. Grace loved her family and Taiwanese cuisine and visited Taiwan at least once a year.

Grace was a runner and ran one marathon and many races until her illness.

Grace had a kind soul and many people had the pleasure of eating a meal with her and sharing a drink. She will be missed around the world.

Nina Morrison 02/09/72-05/28/17

Hilarious, beautiful, intelligent, caring, original, amazing. Some of the words used to describe the remarkable Nina Morrison, beloved daughter of Sol and Shirley Morrison who lost her valiant battle with cancer on May 28, 2017.

Her nephew Ziv noted that "she was courageous and wasn't afraid of society's etiquette." She had a soft side, which she shared with close friends, encouraging them to follow their own paths. She doled out sage advice and showed concern even during the times she was busy or ill. She did have a knack for saying things that were audacious. She liked to shake people up for her own entertainment and sanity, which made talking to her really fun.

She believed that people should live their lives any way they wanted, and as her sister Tova put it "she was adept at comforting the disturbed and disturbing the comfortable."

Born in Los Angeles, she grew up in Santa Barbara where her family moved when she was an infant. After graduating from Santa Barbara High School she moved to San Francisco and eventually Portland, Oregon. A big city girl she thrived in the liberal urban culture these larger cities provided. Wherever she lived, she collected good true friends, co-workers, housemates and other kindred souls who appreciated her self deprecating, sharp and sometimes dark humor.

When she graduated from San

Francisco State, she smiled all day and never took off the mortarboard until she went to sleep that night. She had worked full time while carrying a full course load.

Nina was great with words and a creative writer, but because she was independent and practical she got her degree in technical writing, which served her well in her jobs in administration in hotel management, business, Rogue Brewing Company and at Oregon Health and Science University, a position she especially loved.

She was a glamorous woman who loved clothes and to dress up.

She admitted to being a tad tacky and had her collection of tattoos to prove it. She loved her tattoos and her collection of quirky clothes.

They reflected her inventiveness, humor and unswerving originality.

Although she lived with cancer on and off for 6 years, she did not dwell on it, instead got on with her life, enjoying travel, movies, food, her friends and her kitties.

She leaves behind her parents, her sister Tova, her nephew Ziv, and her boon cat companion, Buttermilk, as well as aunts, uncles, cousins and numerous devoted friends.

Nina was a lifelong reader and lifetime cat lover. Those wishing to remember Nina may make a donation in her name to the Library Foundation of Los Angeles; attention Nettie Frishman Fund (which honors her adored and adoring Grandmother) 630 West Fifth Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071 or donate to your local Humane Society or Cat Rescue agency.

Good Climate News

A

ccording to a recent article by Mary Bowerman in USA Today, “Stephen Hawking: Earth Is in Peril, It’s Time to Get Out of Dodge,” Hawking has warned that “humankind faces extinction from a slew of threats, [including] climate change,” and more recently he has estimated that if lucky, humans have 100 years left on Earth. But here is the good news.

Responding to our president’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, at least 343 mayors and 13 governors across the U.S. and leaders in the E.U., Italy, France, Germany, India, and China have pledged to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg (now UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change) will coordinate “America’s Pledge” from U.S. leaders, businesses, and universities.

The World Economic Forum recently reported renewable energy is now cheaper or at the same price as fossil fuel in over 30 countries. This economic shift is a tipping point that could make fighting climate change into a profitable business for energy companies.

The City of Santa Barbara is being asked to divest from banks that finance fossil fuels, and as individuals we can too: Go to DeFundDAPL.org.

According to Worldwatch Institute, 51 percent or more of global greenhouse-gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture. One of the most effective steps we can take to help combat climate change is to stop eating meat, eggs, and dairy products, an argument I found convincing in the film Cowspiracy: The Sustainability —Peggy Oki, Carpinteria Secret.

Hardcore Republicans, where have we heard all this before? For you, most of that language should sound very familiar.

No wonder, then, that half the states—including California—have refused to comply with this paternalistic incursion of “big government” restricting “states’ rights” to run their own elections and voter registration. To borrow further from the GOP, fortunately for those noncomplying states, our Constitution includes the “peoples’ right if necessary to bear arms” for their own defense. So “live free or die,” Californians.

To the Presidential Commission, we say: “Make our day.” “Lock and load,” everyone. Enough is enough!

t’s convenient to refer to Gutenberg when giving reference to making printed material “available to the masses” [independent.com/summerreading2017].

But history tells us more.

Movable type had already been invented in China with the use of clay and wood hundreds of years before Gutenberg, but it was in Korea in 1377-78 that a twovolume book was printed with movable metal type.

One volume of this monk’s book, Jikji, exists today in Paris as the oldest such book, predating Gutenberg’s Bible by several decades.

Early printed books in Korea were more for the elite classes, but close to a century before Columbus discovered the new world, illiteracy in Korea was supposedly a small percentage of that country’s population.

John W. Shaver May 1950-July 2017

John leaves behind his friends who will miss him greatly. He was not only a gifted artist, but a poet who understood the fragility of life balanced by its precious, but elusive beauty. John was gentle, piercingly intelligent but most of all a kind and caring friend. He is preceded in death by his mother Betty, his sister Karen and his beloved cat, Evinrude. May John’s beautiful soul finally be at peace.

David Thomas Ferreira 09/03/53-06/17/17

Our gentle blues brother left us quietly and suddenly on June 17th, 2017.

Children of the San Joaquin, David, his brother Carlos and his sister Glory grew up wading in the creeks of Los Banos when they ran cold, clean and tufted with watercress for our grandmothers to flavor their soups. The creeks died with the advent of the San Luis Dam on August 18, 1962. Our nine-year old brother slipped away from my family as fifteen thousand people clamored for a look at a young President, John F. Kennedy, and Governor Pat Brown, as they gave the signal to detonate the first charges inaugurating the site.

David had wound his way through the crowds and managed to squeeze himself onto the podium to shake the President’s hand. The President looked down, noticed him, shook his hand and lifted him up. “Is anyone missing their little boy?”

He raised fancy pigeons, and each one had a name. When his sister began breeding German roller canaries for their songs and vivid colors, David visited them often, perching below the aviaries and listening to their complex melodies. Like humpback whales, 22

each generation added flourishes to their songbook. We’d cover the furniture with drop cloths and set them free, watching them glide, dip and soar through the house in formation behind the Alpha male. Always they returned to their open cages for snacks - dandelion greens, apple slices and fresh English rose petals from the garden.

He was a free spirit and a wild soul. He treasured his connection with his family, revered his elders and felt the suffering of strangers.

He thumbed his way through the back roads of Arkansas, Tennessee, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico, always finding work to pour himself into.

He volunteered at local homeless shelters bathing disabled men and talking with his harmonica to the runaways.

David, like his father, had a gift with food. An inspired, self-taught blues harmonica player, he was welcomed into many Santa Cruz bands at the Catalyst. And like his mother, he was a restless, soulful poet. He developed a passion for roses late in life and became adept at pruning. His rescue cat, Tabbers, was his joy, his in-house Yoda.

Like his pigeons, David always returned home when his wanderlust abated. Home to him was Santa Barbara, the crucible where he fought his demons with the unfailing support of family and friends. Creativity, music and love were his weapons of choice.

He is survived by his brother Carlos of San Francisco and his Santa Barbara sister, Glorianna.

He was predeceased by his beloved and loving parents, Henry and Marianna Ferreira of Los Banos, and will be remembered by many wonderful cousins (many of them musicians), aunts, mentors, Stalwart House friends, his sponsors and many satisfied diners. He was happiest wielding his skillets, knives and secret spices for patrons of The 1129, Brophy Brothers, the Montecito Inn, Ryan’s Place and all the truck-stops and smalltown cafés he served during his gypsy days. His omelets and hearty entrees with a Mediterranean flair were mouth-watering and original.

David was a gentle and loving man, unassuming and generous.

He will be deeply missed and remembered by those who really knew him. He looked up to his brother, a powerful role model and his medical advocate during the UCLA transplant process. He loved the fishing expeditions and dinner/movie nights his brother planned. He shared frequent and meaningful conversations with his sister. He cared about people and confronted bullies with hatred, injustice and cruelty in their hearts. He expressed gratitude and prayed for all the people who lent him a hand.

We are profoundly indebted

to those who helped David; the irreverent and funny Sister Maxine Vogan of Ottsville, PA; Bill, Miss Sarah and Tom Stewmon of the Ole Sawmill Café in Forrest City, AK; Bob Rose, a restaurant entrepeneur who never lost faith in David. Drs. Robert Shaffer and Wanda Matchett of University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) in Little Rock, AK; in Santa Barbara, Drs. Kristen Corbett, Alois Zahner, Jeffrey S. Sager, Thomas V. Aguirre, Erin Moore and Jared Perrin. Dr. Mohamed El-Kabany and his staff at UCLA’s Pfleger Transplant Institute, and especially to all the selfless, kind nurses and assistants who helped care for and comfort David through his many harrowing surgeries. Special blessings are reserved for his caring neighbors, Drew and Javier, and Dr. Tom Eby of CARES, who helped David jump-start the will to live and begin the long walk back towards life and inner peace.

A Santa Barbara Memorial Service with some of his favorite music – Mississippi Delta blues, Dylan, Clapton and Neal Young - is planned for what would have been David’s 64th Birthday in September. A later family service will follow in his birthplace.

David’s mantra was “Nothing But Love.” We know he’d be happy if we all made kindness, courtesy and forgiveness a daily practice in our fragile world.

“Now cracks a noble heart.

Goodnight, Sweet Prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.” (Wm. Shakespeare, Hamlet Act 5, Scene 2)

Richard Joseph (Dick) Blair 05/26/29-06/26/17

Dick Blair of Edwards, Colorado and Santa Barbara, California passed peacefully into the arms of God on Monday morning June 26th at 2:30 a.m. He was at Serenity House in Santa Barbara, surrounded by his loving family. Dick was 88 years old and for six years has been battling cancer, congestive heart failure and COPD. He was born in Los Angeles, CA May 26th 1929 to Lillian Trapp Blair and Sam Polow who soon divorced.

He attended elementary school and high school in southern California except for his senior year

when he attended New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI). Dick was an outstanding athlete and participated in gymnastics, wrestling and played football. He went on to get his Bachelor of Science degree at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. Dick excelled in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) and specialized in artillery. With his training from NMMI, as well he was rapidly promoted from Corporal to 1st Lieutenant.

He was called into the U.S. Army to serve in the Korean conflict and performed beyond his official rank to serve as battery commander in “Operation Big Switch.”

After returning from the war he and his family moved back to Colorado where Dick worked in the insurance business and also became a broker for Payne Webber Jackson and Curtis. He and his first wife Karolynka divorced in the late 1960’s.

In 1974 Dick became sole proprietor of Colorado Aero Tech, an aviation mechanics school. He grew that company into one of the largest and most successful aviation tech schools in the U.S. He also acquired the land adjacent to the school. He had his own airplane and truly loved to fly.

In 1978 he met the love of his life. Jeannette Arithson. They married in 1980, and also renewed their vows to follow Christ and were happily married until his passing.

Dick served as the president of the Colorado Private School Association, and on the board of the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools and was president of the Aviation Technicians Educational Council. In 1981 he sold the school and eventually the land when he retired. Immediately upon retirement he poured himself into Christian philanthropic activities. He served on many boards and committees of churches and of para-church organizations including, Harvest Foundation of Phoenix, that does world wide outreach, Mike Silva International, out of Portland, which practices evangelism primarily in Latin American Countries and Promise Keepers out of Denver and Boulder, to name a few. He founded a matching program for prisoners with friends called Friends in Transition, it is now known as Friends of Youth in Denver, which he continued to support. He has a heart for the poor and downtrodden, here and abroad, and was driven to spread the life-changing message of the Gospel. His witness for Christ continued until the very last day of his life.

Dick Blair was preceded in death by his mother Lillian Blair, his brother Bob Blair and wife Pat, his precious daughter Cambia

Blair, his son-in-law John Adkins and many more distant loved ones on both sides of the family.

He is survived by his wife Jeannette Blair, his daughters Victoria K. Blair Adkins, Tresi K Houpt (Jefferson) and son Jake Blair AKA Richard J Blair II. Grandchildren Nicole Blair Adkins (Eric), Emelia Blair Adkins (Tomas), Samuel Beyer Blair Houpt (Kenzie), Franklin Claypool Houpt (Kenzie). Great grandchildren Zoe Blair Johnson, Isaac Russell Johnson. Half brother Joel Rosenkranz (Janice) and many more cousins nieces and nephews.

Memorial to be held on July 24th 2017 at 1:30 p.m. at Calvary Chapel of Santa Barbara 1 North Calle Cesar Chavez Santa Barbara CA 93103 Life Celebration Reception to follow 3:00-7:00 at the Santa Barbara Yacht Club.

ICE SHEET: Peering down on Greenland

from an SAS jet recently, my eyes quickly began to hurt. The brilliant sun reflecting off the massive ice sheet was too much. I had to look away.

Then I looked back. All I could see was a huge whiteout. But down below a lot was going on. For one thing, the thick ice cap covering the largest island in the world (if you don’t count the continent of Australia) is melting faster than ever.

Beneath the top layers is snow that fell when Washington crossed the Delaware, scientists say. Greenland’s ice sheet is about two miles thick at the center, and if the current melting goes on long enough, Washingtonera snow theoretically could be washing over what’s left of East Beach.

As Science magazine headlined it, “In Greenland the Great Melt Is On,” the island warming twice as fast as the rest of the world.

But a lot more was going on below me that day than was visible to my eye. No doubt tourists on travel packages were prowling ($2,437 for a three-nighter). A 40-minute hike from downtown Ilulissat (population 4,866 and above the Arctic Circle) takes you to the fastmelting Jakobshavn glacier. Or you could go musk ox spotting. They’re apparently hard to find.

It was probably a bit nippy down there.

This was midsummer, and the average high

in July is about 50 degrees. In winter it can get down to -7, depending where you are. When they got back to town, they’d be ready for a shot of “Greenlandic”— coffee with a dash of whiskey, Kahlua, and Grand Marnier, topped with whipped cream. At night there are the Northern Lights for entertainment.

Meanwhile, there’s trouble in paradise. The Danish government, which runs the island, has been moving people from the traditional Inuit villages to the Danish-speaking towns.

Things have gotten tense.

Worse, there’s been a wave of suicides by alienated teens. In a New Yorker story, Alastair Gee writes about a painful book by a 27-yearold woman, Niviaq Korneliussen, HOMO sapienne (2014). It’s a best seller there, about 2,000 copies in Greenlandic language and thousands more in Danish in Denmark. It is not for the easily shocked, judging from the review.

Greenland, like most of the rest of the world, is split up by political parties. Topic A, “Independence from Denmark,” is in process, but as the cliché goes, moving at glacial speed for some backers.

Another issue is development. Everyone there is well aware that with the melt, mineralrich land is being exposed.

In global glacier melt, scientific world eyes are on the biggie: the West Antarctic Ice Sheet’s Amundsen Sea sector. A couple of

English Country Style J

health & Fitness Cycling

ust when you think you know S.B. culture up and down, in comes the sidestepping flair summoned by the Santa Barbara Country Dance Society (SBCDS). Dispose of any mental images of barn-style do-si-do that arise. Almost every week, SBCDS puts on English country and contra dancing classes, a far stretch from the flannel-and-boots kind of country dancing that stereotypes the long tradition of English dance.

Replicating the dancing that took place in 17thcentury English ballrooms, SBCDS’s English country takes place in the First Presbyterian Church of Santa Barbara nearly every Tuesday evening. The contra dancing, an American derivation of traditional English country dancing, takes place every Sunday night in the Carrillo Ballroom, accompanied by live bands. “What happened over time is English country dancing came over to the United States and the Yankees jazzed it up a bit, and it became what is known as New England contra dancing,” says English country dance leader Alice Williams. English country dancing is viewed as more tame and civilized than its more swingy, bouncy successor, contra dancing; however, longtime dancer Fred Perner assures, “It looks more proper, but once you start having fun with it, it is as wild as contra dancing.”

Both the English country dancing and the contra dances put on by SBCDS in conjunction with the Parks & Recreation Department see regulars get “hooked on the high,” as described by one of the regulars, Miriam Slater, who qualifies: “But it’s a super healthy high that comes from living life very well.”

The Santa Barbara Country Dance Society’s 2016 Winter Dreams English Country Ball in the Carrillo Ballroom

Dancing comes with a whole slew of mental health benefits, and English country dancing is no exception to this. However different from other dance forms, Slater says, “English country dancing is done socially, not solo. It’s more communal and you have to connect and look at each person you’re meeting, so it becomes this very collective Zen moment where everyone opens their heart and you become very connected.”

Some connections on the dance floor can get pretty heated — Alice Williams met her husband, Dave Williams, at an English country dance. “One of the things I dream of doing when I’m retired is going all over the country with my wife and going to dances. We’re going to be dance gypsies,” he says.

Every year, the Santa Barbara Country Dance Society puts on a ball, for which all the dancers costume themselves with the appropriate period garb of ballroom dresses and suits. English country dance leader Gary Shapiro promises, “If you start now, I’ll probably get you ready for the ball in February.”

The beautiful thing about training in the martial arts is the opportunity to be mindful. Exercising mindfully reduces the possibility of injury. Martial arts works on balance, coordination, technique, and mind-set. And then as you improve, we can add speed and power.

Riviera Youth Bike Team

Rides On

T

welve-year-old Rhyan Shweyk was partway through the bike ride of his young life when he took a spill. “His face and arms and legs were all banged up,” says his mom, Deena Shweyk, “but all he cared about was fixing his bike and finishing.”

The ride, a 34-mile section of the SB 100, was the culminating event of three months of training for Rhyan and the rest of the Riviera Youth Bike Team. Led by ironman and triathlete Zack Bertges, the program introduces kids to the sport of cycling. “The fitness part is important,” says Bertges, “but we focus on mental health, as well.”

While the team has an open application process, most of the members are referred to the Riviera Youth Bike Team by social workers or organizations, including CALM and Hospice of Santa Barbara. “Some of the kids come from very difficult backgrounds,” says Bertges. “We give them self-esteem tools and establish biking as a positive part of their lives.”

During the season, the group of 10- to 13-yearolds meets three times a week, training in spin classes, building strength, and learning safe riding skills on the road.

There are so Team gives kids self-esteem tools and helps many opportunities that “establish biking as a positive part of their lives,” says founder Zack Bertges. open up to these kids.”

Participants who complete the program earn a bike and a jersey, but Bertges hopes they leave with something more. “We want them to walk away feeling that they have this whole cycling community supporting them.”

Deena Shweyk, who has an older son on the team as well, says Bertges has a special way of connecting to every child and building the kind of self-esteem necessary to overcome adversity. “After his crash, Rhyan only had a couple of working gears on his bike,” says Shweyk, “but he got back on, and he plowed through those hills.”

Rhyan, who has returned for another season, says, “I came across the finish line, and my whole team was there, cheering for me. It was such a happy feeling.” Teammate and older brother Zeyn Shweyk adds, “When you reach these big goals on the bike team, it makes you think —Andie Bridges you can do anything.”

The Riviera Youth Bike Team will be hosting a silent auction at 6 p.m. on Monday, July 17, at Paradise Café (702 Anacapa St.).

Hiking Yosemite’s

Pohono Trail

NATURE’S GLORY: Yosemite Falls thunders across the rim on the Pohono Trail.

F

or many Santa Barbarans, summer is synonymous with one place: Yosemite. The legendary valley has raised countless area families and friends in its ancient glacial cradle, inspiring millions of avid adventurers and casual hikers from here and elsewhere to visit year after year. In 2017, the valley enjoyed renewed exposure as a testament to both the power of Mother Nature and humankind alike when Alex Honnold climbed the 3,000-foot face of El Capitan sans rope.

While most of us are likely not quite as ambitious as Honnold, we nonetheless would love to explore the valley sometime this summer, but face permit problems and crowd woes.

Thankfully, there’s the Pohono Trail. With not much luck needed, you can secure an advance or walk-up permit for this extraordinarily beautiful hike along the south rim as an overnight backpack or more leisurely multi-night trip. At 13-16 miles long (conflicting reports), it’s also totally doable as a big and strenuous day hike.

The Pohono Trail is a thru-hike beginning at either Glacier Point or Tunnel View parking lots; having a car at each end will make things easiest. Beginning at Glacier Point is almost entirely downhill, and for that reason, preferable to most, unless you love ascending several thousand feet in a day.

The trail begins with some of the most breathtaking views on the planet and simply doesn’t stop. After leaving behind the bustling Glacier Point viewpoint, you come to your own private peek of Yosemite Falls, just under a mile in, its thundering music playing loudly across the way.

What a sound! Not much farther, you come to a Sentinel Dome juncture you absolutely must take. With 360-degree views of the park, views don’t get much better than this.

After Taft Point, where slackliners balance dizzyingly thousands of feet above the valley floor, the number of day hikers plummets. The next two and a half miles go quietly through mossy forests, near-silent but for many beautiful birdsongs. It’s hard to believe you’re still in the same crowded national park. On this quiet stretch, you’ll come to your first camping option at Bridalveil Creek Bridge, a peaceful place along the banks of the water that spills into one of Yosemite’s most iconic falls.

But it’s Dewey Point, just two miles farther, that’s the real stunner.

With a few spacious sites situated at one of the most spectacular views in a park full of them, it’s hard not to feel downright undeserving of such a sleep spot. Watch the sunrise, watch the sunset, and watch the headlamps glinting on El Capitan’s face. It’s a place to feel unparalleled joy and magic, a summer memory you’ll never forget.

Five reaSonS To viSiT europe

A

ll we wanted was an escape. A desperate respite from our nation’s political poo storm, and our own incessant NPRquaffing. Okay, an escape and a little culture: A soupçon of French art, some bits ’n’ bobs of English history, and a sampling of flavors from our Italian ancestors’ bella nazione. We’ll take the kids to Europe for a couple of weeks: C’est amusant! Che divertimento!

Jolly good fun!

But we boarded the plane just as the latest string of terrorist episodes erupted across the pond. At all the chic tourist spots, no less: London Bridge. Borough Market. Notre-Dame Cathedral. The Champs-Élysées. Quelle horreur. I was admittedly spooked. How can you fully, rapaciously stuff your wide-agape gelato hole with croissants, crêpes, fish ’n’ chips, lasagna, and molto vino when you’re worried about being blown to Bristol by a backpack bomb on the Chunnel?

Mais non! Mes amis, it turned out to be the ideal time to visit Europe — for these reasons: 1. You get to see the residents of the attacked cities going about their daily lives, undeterred by fear. (… At least, it looks that way when you can’t see the folks who choose to stay home, deterred by fear.)

Nothing is interrupted; the terrorists haven’t won. Sure, there’s a ginormous man in head-to-toe camo guarding Notre-Dame with an assault weapon, which is weird. But hey, inside the cathedral there’s a sculpture of a grinning email: starshine@roshell.com dude slaughtering infants with a sword, so really, who’s to say what’s weird?

2. Learning about the savage political history of other nations makes you feel better about our own current snarl. At the Tower of London, Beefeaters told us of the barbaric beheadings of innocent teens and royals falsely accused of treason and incest, their severed heads displayed on spikes for all to see. In Paris, we heard how fearless military leader Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for dressing like a man, and of Marie Antoinette’s guillotine execution before jeering crowds. In Rome, we learned that emperors dragged conquered leaders through the streets to have their throats slit at the Temple of Saturn and buried vestal virgins alive. I’m just saying, ill-tempered Tweets may not be the very archetype of atrocity.

3. With all the Muslim banning, gay-wedding-cake non-baking, and Black Lives Mattering being debated in the U.S. just now, it’s invaluable for nonreligious, straight white folks to get a tiny taste of life as “the other.” To not speak the language. To be at the mercy of strangers’ kindness, or utter indifference, when you’re lost. To be nearly killed by a damned-adorable hackney carriage while looking left instead of right as you step off the curb. To be repeatedly snubbed when you ask for ice in your water (my kingdom for a cube!). To discover firsthand that everything is harder for outsiders — and “inside” isn’t quite as wide as we always assumed.

4. In the midst of that same finger-pointing and name-calling in the States, it’s bracing to see a mix of cultures, classes, and religions mingling peacefully, cooperating casually, sharing public squares, and tolerantly pressing up against one another on the metros. One hot, sticky afternoon, I was full-body spooned by a nun on a rush-hour bus in Rome, and it wasn’t entirely unpleasant.

5. When you wear a T-shirt in Europe that says “Sorry about our president” in 14 different languages, delightful things happen. Old ladies nod at you on the subway with an unmistakable “Psshyeah, you should be” on their faces. And cackling Americans stop you on the street to high-five you and take your picture. Not Trump-supporting Americans, though; you don’t hear a single “snowflake” muttered or catch even one disapproving look from a Prima Donald devotee. And since you know from their, ahem, guest appearances at Shakespeare in the Park that they’re a vociferous bunch, you have to assume that they just don’t travel much.

Which may be the best reason of all to travel.

Semana nautica 15kk Race RunS aGain paul wellman photos

NINE MILES TO GO: Runners at the start of the Semana Nautica 15K include the winners Addi Zerrenner (928), far right, and Sergey Sushchikh, fifth from right in the UCLA shirt.

weekend, Patty Bryant will be doing her own thing, running in Colorado’s Hardrock 100, a high-altitude endurance race that includes more than 33,000 feet of climbing.

The Semana Nautica 15K required a mere 1,000 feet of climbing, but the terrain was a challenge for runners used to flat roads.“Somebody told me,‘Usually in a race, I look at my watch all the time. Today I didn’t look once,’ ” Lofthus said.

“I’m not a big trail guy,” said Gary Clancy, a 72-year-old runner and SBAA boardmember.“I was really concerned.You have to concentrate to stay away from falling. The volunteers were really helpful.” The SBAA recruited more than 60 volunteers, including the San Marcos High cross-country team, to keep the runners on course. “If it wasn’t for them, I’d still be out there,” Clancy said. He surrendered to the strain of the last slope and walked toward the finish line. “I thought I’d be very happy with a time anywhere around two hours,” he said.

He made it in an hour and 44 minutes.

Runners who had GPS devices found that the course was perhaps a kilometer short of 15, but nobody was complaining. They will not be breaking any of the records set on the flat course.

The race winners were a pair of former Dos Pueblos High standouts. Sergey Sushchikh, 24, took the overall crown in 52 minutes, 32 seconds. He competed in track and crosscountry at UCLA and is an engineer in Camarillo. Addi Zerrenner, 21, was the first woman, 11th overall, in 59:42. A senior at Arizona, she will be vying for Pac-12 honors in cross-country and track.

With varying degrees of exhaustion and relief, 152 stalwart runners finished the 15K. Another 123 ran the 5K, and 11 dog owners completed a short race with their pets. The Kiwanis Club treated all the runners to a pancake breakfast in the grove.

“We want to bring likeminded folks together to celebrate Independence Day with a strong sense of community,” Lof Lofthus said. The SBAA will donate the proceeds to high school running programs.

Vanessa Bestetti, a native of TRAIL BLAZERS: Ian Morgan (952), Joshua McGregor (408), and Jake Ballantine (960) lead the Brazil and resident of Australia, pack on the 5K course.

gave the event a ringing endorsement. Planning a visit to Las Vegas and L.A., she entered the 15K after finding it on a “running in the U.S.A.” website. She received a prize of a bouquet of marigolds after being the top finisher in her age group, behind Zerrenner.

Afterward, Bestetti posted her impressions in a blog (minus some exclamation points): “A day I will never forget. … I had no idea at all it was a trail run in the mountains. …

Elings Park was the location for the race, scenic trails with epic views of the Channel Islands. … Had to watch out every step, be focused 100% of time at the same time with the feeling of exploring a new place. … After crossing the finish line there was a breakfast for everyone with delicious pancakes made right there. … The announcer [Lofthus] said I should’ve ran backwards as I come from down under. … What a remarkable race!” n

ix decades after it was established, the Fourth of July Semana Nautica 15K Race has changed themes: from “Hit the Road, Jack,” to “Hit the Trail, Jack and Jill.”

It began in 1955, when there were few people with the mettle to run for 9.3 miles in the heat of a summer day.

The first 15K had 13 men finish the course of two loops on roads around the Santa Barbara Airport. Over the years, the course was moved to other routes in Goleta, always on flat, paved roads and paths. The distance was precisely measured, enabling the race to be designated by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) as its National Championship 15K K on three occasions. Veteran racers such as Ventura’s Gary Tuttle smoked the course in a little over 45 minutes.

Women ran the 15K for the first time in 1971, and with the boom in recreational running, participation increased to the hundreds.

The Santa Barbara Athletic Association (SBAA), a grassroots organization devoted to running, has staged the race since its inception. After last year’s 62nd edition, SBAA boardmembers discussed issues surrounding the race. It was expensive to obtain permits and provide traffic control.

Although the latest course was mostly on bike paths, runners had to cross Hollister Avenue to finish at San Marcos High.

“At best, it was a break-even event, a labor of love,” said SBAA president John Lofthus. “I didn’t feel comfortable with the risk of open roads, but running on bike paths was not exactly awe-inspiring. It has history, but nothing else about it was memorable.”

Committee member Patty Bryant came up with the breakthrough idea: Move the run to the trails at Elings Park in the hills off Las Positas Road. “We decided that if we’re going to change it, let’s change it dramatically,” Lofthus said.

Elings Park was already host to a series of 5K trail races, so a 5K option was added to the July 4 event. It took some doing to design a longer route on the 230-acre property. The resulting course was a devilish double-loop around the park. The homestretch was the steep grade from the park headquarters to Godric Grove, which the 15K runners had to climb twice.

It would have been a piece of cake for Bryant, an accomplished ultra-marathoner. The woman responsible for the 15K’s new look was scrambling around the Dolomite mountains in Italy last week. It was the annual Summit for Danny, an expedition that supports the Daniel Bryant Youth & Family Treatment Center for adolescent drug abuse. This

Hard boil eggs, halve them, scoop out the yolk, and mix it with avocado. Put this mixture back into the cooked egg whites. For a flavorful finish, add paprika.

This appetizer is packed with high-quality protein, as eggs contain all essential amino acids, all B vitamins, and healthy omega-3 fats, which lower inflammation.

Eggs are often referred to as a perfect protein. Avocados are full of antioxidants, including vitamin C and E and carotenoids.

Peaches and Coconut Cream Slice up organic ripe peaches into a bowl (with or without skin), and pour coconut cream over them. Sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy!

Peaches are a great summer fruit. They are low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. They are also a good source of fiber, niacin, and potassium and a great source of vitamin C. Peaches help your body fight free radicals, prevent cancer, and protect your heart from disease.

Grilled Herb Chicken Take organic, pasture-raised chicken breasts, and season with fresh-chopped garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, cayenne, and salt and pepper. Grill on medium heat until cooked thoroughly. Serve with grilled summer squash (below) for a healthy dinner!

This is an easy dish packed with nutrients! Garlic is an anti-microbial agent (cooking with it kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi), which raises HDL levels. Rosemary boosts the immune system and improves circulation.

Thyme is a great herb for digestion, paprika is high in vitamin C and antioxidants, and cayenne improves circulation.

French Festival, July 15-16 at Oak Park in Santa Barbara. One of Santa Barbara’s favorite festivals celebrates the resilient, rich, and entertaining French culture. Get ready to enjoy great food, wine, mimosas, crêpes, delicious pastries, music, dance and, of course, the infamous Canine Cavalcade. The festival is fun and free for the entire family. The Santa Barbara French Festival is a community event that draws people from corners near and far. It’s a dance festival, a music festival, an arts-and-crafts festival, and, of course, a food festival.

Center Stage Theater and Speaking of Stories produce this community celebration. For two days Santa Barbara celebrates its reputation as the American Riviera, as the French festivities transform Oak Park. The little French village comes to life at 11 a.m., when the entertainment kicks off on three different stages, and continues nonstop until 7 p.m., both days. The stages will be filled with dance and music from more than 30 different acts, including performances, audience participation, and instruction. The favorites return every year: tango, Django Reinhardt tributes, and the Femmes Fatales Drag Revue. You will see cancan and French Polynesian dancers, west African belly dancing, and French arias—and every minute of entertainment is free.

But you never thought of yourself as a rockand-roll musician. [We were] blues based.

More of a reggae-folk-kind-of-influence band, more of a folk-pop band.

page 47

You recently released a 10-CD box set,The Natalie Merchant Collection. Did you always plan to do that? No, it was something I started to plan to do last year. It felt like a good moment to try to consolidate everything in one package. I don’t think people will be buying CDs much longer. We’re reaching the end of an era. I really feel like it is the punctuation on a period of my life.

dent while outside the Cleveland Museum of Art. Below is an edited version of our conversation.

Where did the name of the band — 10,000 Maniacs — come from? It was a [reference] to Two Thousand Maniacs! [the 1964 splatter film about New Englander travelers who are murdered in the South]. It was a stupid name. I figured it was largely responsible for a lot of people never coming to our music.

In Berlin, in the early ’9os, all these punks were coming to the show. [They wondered] Where are those 10,000 Maniacs? Where are the punks? It was kind of embarrassing.

What influenced your music? The things that frightened me are the things I thought other people needed to know about: child abuse, literacy, toxic waste, the water supply.

There are some people that it appealed to and other people who kind of ridiculed it.

They thought rock and roll was supposed to be about stratification.

So what’s next? I don’t know what I’m going to do professionally. I’m really interested in visual art. I’ve always wanted to work with children, especially since working with my own. My daughter is going into high school.

I have four more years with her. This wonderful bond we’ve created will never be the same.

What does she listen to? She’s obsessed with Hamilton. She also listens to The Lumineers and Of Monsters and Men. You continue to be politically active. You protested at Trump Tower on the day of the Inauguration. What did you make of the Women’s March? It was the best antidote to the Inauguration, which was borderline suicide-inducing experience for most of us, most people I know. To go from the extreme of Obama to Trump was schizophrenic.

Do you think the resistance movement will last? It has to.

Mental HealtH arts Festival Celebrate the healing power of arts, the diversity of individual mindsets, and the strength of the human spirit at the 23rd Annual Mental Health Arts Festival.

A longstanding Santa Barbara tradition hosted by the Mental Wellness Center, the festival showcases the work of artists who live with mental illness in an inclusive and uplifting environment. With everything from fine art to simple arts and crafts on display, plus fun activities like karaoke, the free festival is open to visitors and locals alike.

“Each year, the festival gets better,” said Mental Wellness Center CEO Annmarie Cameron. Sales go directly to the artists, but for them, Cameron says, it’s often more about the chance to connect and share their work and personalities with the world.

“It’s about the social interaction. The artists tell me

l i f e

that what they get out of it is a different way of being seen in the world — people see them as artists.”

The festival, Cameron said, serves to lessen the stigma around mental illness by treating these people as artists, as well as by demonstrating the often inextricable links between creativity and mental illness, and between self-expression and healing. “We actually like to draw attention to the fact this is something for people who have lived experience [with mental illness]. There shouldn’t be any shame in it; it should be something people are appreciated for and [they should be] applauded for their openness.” —Richie DeMaria

ome have called her the contemporary Joan Baez. Twenty-two years ago, the New York Times described her as “largely responsible for the [10,000] Maniacs’ reputation as the world’s most politically correct band.”

She prefers “socially conscious.”

Natalie Merchant — the acclaimed folk artist who, for 12 years, was the lead singer of the 10,000 Maniacs — has long been inspired by her surroundings. When she joined the band in 1981, she was just 17 years old. At the time she was like a “sponge,” she said, “taking in everything I saw and heard.”

Born in Jamestown, New York, Merchant grew up in a small town. She came of age protesting the Love Canal, the infamous New York neighborhood that became a toxic wasteland and major public health hazard. Women had miscarriages.

Hundreds of schoolchildren were displaced.

She was also involved in Greenpeace.

One of the Maniacs’ first shows was on Hiroshima Remembrance Day at City Hall.

She has long been a vegetarian. When she was on tour, she would “live for a college town” with a vegetarian restaurant and small movie theater. “I think we were really earnest but committed to making music that would make a positive impression,” she said.

It worked. A woman from Pakistan recently approached her and said, “Your music was a huge part of my adolescence.

I just can’t believe I’m standing next you!”

Merchant was stunned the music she created in the privacy of her home made it all the way to Pakistan. “I told her,” Merchant relayed, “I can’t believe I’m standing next to you!”

Ahead of her July 15 show at the Santa Barbara Bowl, Merchant chatted on the phone with The Santa Barbara Indepen-

Tracy R. Kofford and Katherine Bottoms

Cole Porter’s

HigH soCiety For fans of classic Hollywood, it doesn’t get much better than the 1940 comedy The Philadelphia Story. The cast includes Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, and Katharine Hepburn as Tracy Lord, the reckless society dame who has them all in a frenzy. The film was so successful that it spawned not a sequel but instead an MGM film musical version called High Society in 1956. The music was chosen from existing songs by Cole Porter, and the cast this time? Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Grace Kelly. Finally, in 1998, playwright Arthur Kopit took hold of the now-venerable property and steered it onto a Broadway stage in an adaptation that will be running at Santa Barbara City College’s Garvin Theatre from July 12-29.

High Society director R. Michael Gros, associate professor of theater at SBCC, has a Katherine in his cast as well, Katherine Bottoms, and she will be playing, singing, and dancing up a storm as Tracy Lord in one of the Theatre Group’s most ambitious productions yet. “One of the risks is that people already have these famous players in their heads,” says Gros, who has deliberately avoided watching the whole film in order to preserve his sense of what the look and feel of the show should be.

One of the most exciting aspects of this production is how much dance it will include. Tracy Kofford, SBCC professor of dance, has joined the cast and is working alongside the principals to craft intricate numbers for them and for the ensemble. The cinematic set is by Pat Frank, and Pamela Shaw has created some outstanding period costumes. Santa Barbara newcomer Darren Bluestone brings national experience and a measure of YouTube fame to his leading role, and director Gros sees the show as an opportunity for both the cast and the audience to “exhale and laugh” during a period when “the world around us is beating us up.” For tickets and information, visit theatregroupsbcc.com or call 965-5935.

use plastic, it’s something that’s been on our mind. And we’ve been working on it a long time.

Glasses tO audiences at

What’s so special about the Santa Barbara Bowl’s environmental efforts? It’s been a long conversation of how to eliminate single-use plastic at shows. All of the venues we are working with on this tour have upgraded to offering reusable pint cups as an option for concertgoers, and a lot of them are incentivizing people to use them with discounts.

The Santa Barbara Bowl was one of the first to offer them — it worked, and now when I go to shows at the Bowl, I see people with them — so this time we wanted to do something more. This time, they won’t be selling any single-use plastic at the show at all. People can bring their own reusable containers, and there will be water-filling stations around the venue. All the drinks will be served in reusable pint cups, which will be free for everyone at that show. We’re trying to make it really easy, especially at our hometown show, so that everyone has the chance to do it.

ou would think that with his career accomplishments, Jack Johnson might be kicking back beside his surfboard and stacks of well-earned cash. But the Hawai‘i native isn’t so much counting green as he is going green. At his upcoming twonight stand at the Santa Barbara Bowl on July 17 and 18, every concertgoer can pick up a reusable Jack Johnson souvenir stainless steel pint cup with any beverage purchase, or even just to hold some free water. In an experiment in zero tolerance for single-use plastic, there will be no plastic cups or water bottles sold at either show.

The pint-glass giveaway at the Bowl is just one part of Johnson’s All At Once campaign, which involves area nonprofit environmental organizations, such as UCSB Plastic Solutions, Heal the Ocean, the Ocean Futures Society, and the Community Environmental Council, in promoting plastic-free initiatives, sustainable local food systems, and reduced ocean waste. The Santa Barbara Independent spoke with Johnson recently by phone. What follows is a version edited for length.

What got you started on this issue of reducing ocean waste? I grew up surfing and spent a lot of time in the ocean on different sides of the island that I live on in Hawai‘i. There’s one side — on the east shore of Oahu — where if you cross over the high tide line, it’s just full of plastic. It’s a filter out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s accumulated so much plastic that it’s become part of the makeup of the sand.

Just seeing that — and seeing it increase as I’ve grown up — and being part of [the touring] industry that uses a lot of single-

his musical adaptation of Ken Ludwig’s farcical ode to Pagliacci offers door-slamming tomfoolery, fastpaced comic melodrama, and three clowns running around downtown Cleveland and pretending to be the famous tenor Tito Merelli. When the Merellis arrive at their hotel suite, Maria (Bree Murphy), tired of her husband’s flirtatious tendencies, writes a “by the time you read this I’ll be gone” note and leaves Tito (George

Walker) to his fame — and his fans. Meanwhile, tasked with babysitting their star until curtain, opera underling Max (Joe Ogren) slips Tito a glass of wine spiked with barbiturates. Tito finds Maria’s letter and becomes agitated — and very drowsy. He passes out, and Max, who can’t rouse him, mistakes Maria’s letter for Tito’s suicide note.

Opera director Henry Saunders (Erik Stein), who won’t be ruined by the death of one clown, dresses Max, who has vocal chops but lacks confidence, in the Pagliacci costume and sends him onstage in Tito’s place.

Things get complicated after Max gives the performance of a lifetime, and both Diana (Karin Hendricks) — the aggressive actress playing opposite Canio—and Max’s girlfriend, Maggie (Caroline Whelehan), are desperate to meet (and bed) Tito. The real Tito, who’s awake, in costume, and on the run from the police, who think he’s a nut-job, returns to the hotel room to find that he’s somehow mid-seduction with both Diana and Maggie (each in a different room).

aron Posner’s deliciously wicked deconstruction of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull makes an ideal fit for the talented members of Elements Theatre Collective in this must-see show. Employing a quiver full of sharp postmodern tactics, including direct address and a play-within-the-play, the show succeeds in bringing the angst and energy of Chekhov’s dark comedy to a new audience in all its bristling complexity. As directed by Risa Brainin, the show’s seven-member cast is consistently excellent, delivering memorable comic performances with Presented by Elements plenty of emoTheatre Collective.

“

top F**cking the Planet”: Those were the words on Debbie Harry’s black cape as she walked onto the Bowl stage to raucous cheers and applause. She also wore a blackand-yellow headband in support of the bees. It seemed a silly sort of rebelliousness, but just seconds later Blondie launched into the band’s hit song “One Way or Another,” turning smatterings of laughter back into fervent cheers. This continued for the rest of the night as Harry charmed the audience with her remarks between songs as well as with the music itself. The

band played numbers from all of their deep discography, mixing tunes like “Fun” and “My Monster” from their most recent album with classic singles such as “Hanging on the Telephone.” They closed with “Heart of Glass,” the song that started it all.

Rewinding an hour into the night, Garbage also blew At the Santa the audience away with its Barbara Bowl, hard-hitting tracks. While Fri., July 7. the band didn’t have quite as much kinetic energy as Blondie, lead singer Shirley Manson’s performance was mesmerizing. Right from the start, Garbage came out swinging, and it wasn’t until their fourth song was finished that the audience got a breather from the Wisconsin band’s brand of heavy punk rock. Just as openingset artist John Doe predicted at the beginning of the night, “Garbage will knock your socks off and then Blondie will kill ya.”

BOOks

The roBoT wAr A

s residents of Santa Barbara, there’s something very satisfying about watching a film or reading a book set in our city, as is the case with volume one of the graphic novel The Robot War by Joe Friend and Matt Haley. A blend of classic action-hero tropes with science fiction, the story centers on Dale, a young, rough-around-the-edges Santa Barbara transplant, and his motley crew of Star Trek–loving coworkers, all of whom find themselves in the middle of a bizarre invasion of machines.

Volume one of The Robot War primarily focuses on exposition and character introductions, which is generally achieved through realistic dialogue that does not shy away from profanities and explicit sexuality.

Using the backdrop of the American Riviera, Friend and Haley have put significant effort into their depiction of a realistic millennial existence with the inclusion of the kind of recreational drug use and unequivocal sex that is so deeply embedded in today’s social fabric. While the hyperrealistic banter between characters on the subject of Star Trek will satisfy die-hard fans, it’s possible that it will confuse those who are unfamiliar with the series.

Enter robots. The action of volume one does feel compressed and even chaotic at times, as one page may contain artistic renderings of multiple locations and several characters carrying on different conversations. When mysterious machines emerged from an industrial container, it took me several rereads to fully grasp just where they came from. Although the premise of a machine invasion in our own backyard is chilling and interesting, the execution of the action sequences is not so easily absorbed.

The Robot War is certainly not for children, although it’s also not for someone who has never experienced a graphic novel. The seasoned comic-book aficionado will breeze through this volume with no problem, but someone looking for a casual read may be left confused in terms of the story’s continuity. Of course, this is only the first of five volumes, and the central action is just embryonic. And who doesn’t want to see how a group of Santa Barbarans handles a robot —Gabriel Tanguay & entertainment takeover?

“ONE OF THE ’S FUNNIEST.” YEAR SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

Supernatural Drama Explores Metaphysical Questions

“ABSURD AND HYSTERICAL.”

P

movie Guide

erhaps one of the biggest mysteries we face in life is the question of what happens after it ends. It’s an enigma for which many religions have sought to provide an answer, often proposing that metaphysical existence lives on, even after the moment the body flatlines.

A variety of television shows have also taken their creative cracks at interpreting death and its implications. But France’s Les revenants (The Returned), no Netflix, provides an especially staggering new spin on the subject of mortality, one that perhaps many would consider as ideal as it is implausible: death as a temporary state from which — you guessed it — we can return. Whether it is physically, or only metaphysically, is for us to discover.

Seems appealing at first, but Les revenants quickly upsets any solace we may find in the thought of impermanent death. Each episode is dedicated to a single character, piloting with Camille (Yara Pilartz), who is first introduced as any other 15-year-old, earbuds in and head in the clouds, as she sits on a bus among her classmates. As the bus winds gracefully higher into the Alps, we all but expect its sudden swerve off the side of a cliff. There are no survivors.

Still, death doesn’t stop Camille and others from coming back unscathed, in the precise physical states in which they had departed days, years, or even decades earlier. In Camille’s case, four long years pass before she climbs back onto the cliff-side freeway and into the lives of her family members, who are both elated and petrified by her return. She is oblivious to the fact that she had been, or perhaps still is, dead. And that’s just it, we never know. Each episode brings us just a little bit closer to finding out.

Unlike other shows in which the deceased return, what makes Les revenants so uncanny is that it’s impossible to distinguish between the living and the dead — there are no zombies, no vampires. Just people. But the show’s simultaneous dedication to and disruption of reality, leaves us wondering whether the returned are simply the figments of townsfolk’s deluded imaginations.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

ALISON BRIE DAVE FRANCO KATE MICUCCI AUBREY PLAZA JOHN C. REILLY MOLLY SHANNON FRED ARMISEN

SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK: French tV series Les revenants (The Returned) explores what happens when the dead return to their old lives.

The muddling between the imagined and the real is perhaps shown best in the story of Simon (Pierre Perrier), another returned, who committed suicide on his wedding day 10 years before the story is set. His exfiancée Adèle (Clotilde Hesme), who has since moved on and prepared to marry the town’s chief of police, is convinced that Simon exists only in her head. Nothing distinguishes his recent return from the haunting visions she experienced in her trauma following his death.

In addition to the resurrection of the deceased, a flooded city begins to reemerge after being submerged 35 years prior by a ruptured dam, which left hundreds dead. As the old city slowly resurfaces, all power in the new town is lost, leaving its current residents without electricity and in total darkness. As the show progresses, it becomes more evident that in many cases, the resurrection of the old does not behoove those still alive, but instead induces more pain and suffering than had their original deaths. So perhaps an even bigger question the show poses is whether the past and the present can, in fact, coexist harmoniously.

Les revenants takes on particularly interesting significance when looked at through the lens of the contemporary landscape. Can old-world traditions be reintegrated successfully into present-day society?

Maybe, more than anything, the show is a lesson on accepting change. Can the past ever smoothly encroach upon our present, or is it best to simply allow the laws of life and death, evolution and progress, take their natural course? Les revenants encourages us to ask these questions, but the answers are up to us to uncover.

The Beguiled

➤ The Beguiled

(93 mins., R)

Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning star in director Sofia Coppola’s film adaptation of the novel A Painted Devil, a welltimed psychological thriller-drama. A wounded Civil War soldier (Farrell) finds himself in the hands of a house full of women and girls, who tend to his injuries. Complicated scenarios arise. The pacing is somewhat slow and grave, per its period-piece nature, and in that slight dullness the film falls short of being truly great. But there’s much to enjoy and many thoughts provoked in this piece, whose script plays upon the dual burdens of feminine souls as caretakers and pleasure-givers — and the power wielded therein. In an era when men of war continue to

NOW SHOWING

Theatre Under the Stars

(141 mins., PG-13)

In the first live-action movie to depict the origin story of Wonder Woman, actress Gal Gadot does not disappoint in her fiery and dynamic portrayal of Princess Diana of the Amazons.

Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins, offers a compelling tale of Diana’s evolution from a naïve warrior to a courageous heroine after she feels compelled to leave her island and follow U.S. spy Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) into the outside world, where war rages.

With a shield, a sword, and the Lasso of Truth in hand, Diana fights her way through World War I–besieged England and Belgium in hopes of ending the conflict. While Pine’s character has some cringe-worthy dialogue and the plot relies on a few common superhero tropes, Gadot’s Diana — at no time is she actually referred to as Wonder Woman — makes for a refreshing and optimistic story in the otherwise grim DC Extended Universe. Diana is never reduced to a damsel in distress, as she is the one to save herself and the other male characters time and time again.

But the movie also doesn’t downplay her femininity and ensures that she is admired for her ability to lead with compassion and love in addition to her impressive skills in combat. This makes her an authentic heroine with whom many women can identify. Wonder Woman’s passionate spirit and epic fight scenes make the movie well worth seeing. (SMcG) Fairview/Metro 4

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of July 13 CANCER

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): It’s not your birthday, but I feel like you need to get presents. The astrological omens agree with me. In fact, they suggest you should show people this horoscope to motivate them to do the right thing and shower you with practical blessings. And why exactly do you need these rewards? Here’s one reason: Now is a pivotal moment in the development of your own ability to give the unique gifts you have to give. If you receive tangible demonstrations that your contributions are appreciated, you’ll be better able to rise to the next level of your generosity.

(June 21-July 22): “Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.“All life is an experiment.” I’d love to see you make that your operative strategy in the coming weeks, Cancerian. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, now is a favorable time to overthrow your habits, rebel against your certainties, and cruise through a series of freewheeling escapades that will change your mind in a hundred different ways. Do you love life enough to ask more questions than you’ve ever asked before?

TAURUS

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Thank you for contacting the Center for Epicurean Education. If you need advice on how to help your imagination lose its inhibitions, please press 1. If you’d like guidance on how to run wild in the woods or in the streets without losing your friends or your job, press 2. If you want to learn more about spiritual sex or sensual wisdom, press 3. If you’d like assistance in initiating a rowdy yet focused search for fresh inspiration, press 4. For information about dancing lessons or flying lessons or dancingwhile-flying lessons, press 5. For advice on how to stop making so much sense, press 6.

(Apr. 20-May 20): Other astrologers and fortunetellers may enjoy scaring the hell out of you, but not me. My job is to keep you apprised of the ways that life aims to help you, educate you, and lead you out of your suffering. The truth is, Taurus, that if you look hard enough, there are always seemingly legitimate reasons to be afraid of pretty much everything. But that’s a stupid way to live, especially since there are also always legitimate reasons to be excited about pretty much everything. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to work on retraining yourself to make the latter approach your default tendency. I have rarely seen a better phase than now to replace chronic anxiety with shrewd hope.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The cereus cactus grows in the deserts of the southwestern U.S. Most of the time it’s scraggly and brittle looking. But one night of the year, in June or July, it blooms with a fragrant, trumpet-shaped flower. By dawn the creamy white petals close and start to wither. During that brief celebration, the plant’s main pollinator, the sphinx moth, has to discover the marvelous event and come to gather the cactus flower’s pollen. I suspect this scenario has metaphorical resemblances to a task you could benefit from carrying out in the days ahead. Be alert for a sudden, spectacular, and rare eruption of beauty that you can feed from and propagate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): At least for the short-range future, benign neglect can be an effective game plan for you.

In other words, Gemini, allow inaction to do the job that can’t be accomplished through strenuous action.

Stay put. Be patient and cagey and observant. Seek strength in silence and restraint. Let problems heal through the passage of time. Give yourself permission to watch and wait, to reserve judgment and withhold criticism. Why do I suggest this approach? Here’s a secret: Forces that are currently working in the dark and behind the scenes will generate the best possible outcome.

Homework: Do you let your imagination indulge in fantasies that are wasteful, damaging, or dumb? Stop it! Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If I had more room here, I

would offer an inspirational PowerPoint presentation designed just for you. In the beginning, I would seize your attention with an evocative image that my marketing department had determined would give you a visceral thrill. (Like maybe a Photoshopped image of you wearing a crown and holding a scepter.) In the next part, I would describe various wonderful and beautiful things about you. Then I’d tactfully describe an aspect of your life that’s underdeveloped and could use some work. I’d say, “I’d love for you to be more strategic in promoting your good ideas. I’d love for you to have a well-crafted master plan that will attract the contacts and resources necessary to lift your dream to the next level.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re entering into the Uncanny Zone, Capricorn. During your brief journey through this alternate reality, the wind and the dew will be your teachers. Animals will provide special favors.

You may experience true fantasies, like being able to sense people’s thoughts and hear the sound of leaves converting sunlight into nourishment. It’s possible you’ll feel the moon tugging at the waters of your body and glimpse visions of the best possible future. Will any of this be of practical use? Yes! More than you can imagine. And not in ways you can imagine yet.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I advise you against snorting cocaine, MDMA, heroin, or bath salts. But if you do, don’t lay out your lines of powder on a kitchen table or a baby’s diaper-changing counter in a public restroom. Places like those are not exactly sparkly clean, and you could end up propelling contaminants close to your brain. Please observe similar care with any other activity that involves altering your consciousness or changing the way you see the world. Do it in a nurturing location that ensures healthy results. P.S. The coming weeks will be a great time to expand your mind if you do it in all-natural ways such as through conversations with interesting people, travel to places that excite your awe, and encounters with provocative teachings.

PISCES

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In late 1811 and early 1812, parts of the mighty Mississippi River flowed backwards several times. Earthquakes were the cause. Now, more than two centuries later, you Sagittarians have a chance — maybe even a mandate — to accomplish a more modest rendition of what nature did way back then.

Do you dare to shift the course of a great, flowing, vital force? I think you should at least consider it. In my opinion, that great, flowing, vital force could benefit from an adjustment that you have the wisdom and luck to understand and accomplish.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is one of those rare grace periods when you can slip into a smooth groove without worrying that it will degenerate into a repetitive rut. You’ll feel natural and comfortable as you attend to your duties, not blank or numb. You’ll be entertained and educated by exacting details, not bored by them. I conclude, therefore, that this will be an excellent time to lay the gritty foundation for expansive and productive adventures later this year.

If you’ve been hoping to get an advantage over your competitors and diminish the negative influences of people who don’t empathize with you, now is the time.

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “There is a direct correlation between playfulness and intelligence, since the most intelligent animals engage in the greatest amount of playful activities.” So reports the National Geographic. “The reason is simple: Intelligence is the capacity for learning, and to play is to learn.” I suggest you make these thoughts the centerpiece of your life in the coming weeks. You’re in a phase when you have an enhanced capacity to master new tricks.

That’s fortunate, because you’re also in a phase when it’s especially crucial for you to learn new tricks. The best way to ensure it all unfolds with maximum grace is to play as much as possible.

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 07/27/2017 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 notice form is available from the court clerk.
