What’s the best part about hanging at the Indy office? Snacks! Snacks are the best part of everything! There is one human at the Indy who fills me with chicken and pastries. I’m quite fond of all types of chicken — roasted, baked, boiled, braised, fried, grilled… Chicken. Any particularly fun smells you’ve encountered recently? I’m so glad you asked about smells! Humans don’t give smells enough credit. Really the best smell is myself! I have a blanket under my human’s desk, and it smells just like me which makes me feel really happy when I sleep on it. Outside of the office, what are your interests and hobbies? Besides chicken, balls are my greatest joy. It’s unfortunate that I’m dependent upon my human to throw the ball, because I could chase balls all day. Seriously, dude. All. Day. If you could give one piece of advice to a new office pet, what would it be? Try not to bark. They don’t like it when you bark …

TheCourtCase for Cuarta Beach Battle Peaks for a Picturesque Slice of Hollister Ranch

PAU L WELLM AN F I LE PHOTOS

by BLANCA GARCIA , KEITH HAMM, TYLER HAYDEN @TylerHayden1, NICK WELSH, and JEAN YAMAMURA, with INDEPENDENT STAFF

THE COAST IN QUESTION: Decades ago, an easement plan to open Cuarta Beach (pictured) to the public was created when the YMCA owned a nearby parcel. That property changed hands long ago, but the legal fight over the easement’s validity has remained. In 2017, the Hollister Ranch struck a deal with the state to allow limited access. By print deadline Wednesday, Judge Colleen Sterne had not issued her final ruling on the deal’s fairness.

by Keith Hamm

he final chapter of a historic six-year legal battle pitting Hollister Ranch homeowners against state agencies tasked with providing public access to California beaches almost came to a close Monday afternoon in Judge Colleen Sterne’s courtroom. Almost. At issue was a class-action settlement agreement in which the Hollister Ranch Owners Association (HROA) hammered out a deal with the state Attorney General’s office — representing the California Coastal Conservancy and the California Coastal Commission — to open the untrodden sands of Cuarta Beach to the general public (but only by way of small watercraft) and expand chaperoned beach-access programs for schoolchildren and nonprofits. In exchange, the state agreed to give up any real or perceived rights to a decades-old offer to dedicate public access — complete with shuttle service from nearby Gaviota State Beach — along the main ranch road to the same beach, a nearly mile-long stretch of breathtaking California where Cuarta Canyon mets the sea. While the settlement agreement, struck quietly in December 2017, was signed by the attorney general (AG) and approved by all but one of HROA’s several hundred members, opponents of the settlement, namely the Gaviota Coastal Trail Alliance, have taken issue with its details. In a surprising move last summer, Sterne allowed the alliance to legally intervene in the case, ruling that the settlement agreement appeared to extinguish a beach-access opportunity without first notifying the public. Sterne’s tentative ruling on the fairness of the settlement agreement, filed last Friday, essentially deemed it unfair. However, after hearing again from all sides in her packed chambers on Monday, she decided she needed more time.

On behalf of HROA, Barry Cappello — brought in for his vast experience with classaction litigation— litigation seemed to be arguing that Sterne made a mistake in allowing the Trail Alliance a voice in the matter. “Your procedures have blown up this litigation,” he told Sterne. “The [Trail Alliance] is not an indispensable party; [it] should not be here.” He added that future class-action settlements in general would suffer if intervenors were allowed to chime in at the 11th hour. He suggested that the alliance take up its issues on appeal or in a separate lawsuit against the state.

Judge Colleen Sterne

Also representing the ranch, Beth Collins, with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, concurred with Cappello that the Trail Alliance is merely a special-interest group. “They have a very special interest to have more people walk across Hollister Ranch,” she said. “[The] parties that have participated for the last six years believe that this is the path forward … here today, [to] grant the final approval [of the settlement agreement].” Collins added that lawyers with the Coastal Commission and Coastal Conservancy have

said the state prefers the access granted by the settlement over anything it would have gained by winning the case outright. The original “offer to dedicate” — which would have shuttled in visitors and led them down a creek bed and through a concrete culvert to the beach — is “dangerous and expensive,” she said. Supervising Deputy AG Jamee Jordan Patterson took issue with the Trail Alliance’s argument that her clients, the Coastal Commission and the Coastal Conservancy, had not properly represented the people of California. “Public access is their job,” she said. “That’s what they do.” For its part, the alliance, which would ultimately like to see a coastal trail through Hollister Ranch that connects Gaviota State Beach to Jalama Beach County Park, has argued that the closed-door settlement agreement is invalid because it essentially revises, without the public’s participation, a 1982 public-access plan for Hollister Ranch. (At the recommendation of then-governor Jerry Brown, that long-mothballed plan was recently dusted off, and HROA has requested a seat at that table should it be revised.) “The court’s intuition that this settlement shouldn’t be entered into without public consideration is correct,” testified Ellison Folk, representing the Trail Alliance. She added that HROA’s continued insistence that the Trail Alliance isn’t a valid player falls flat; the court has ruled more than once in favor of the nonprofit as a legitimate intervenor. Last to speak was Judge Stern, who said, “[There’s been] a significant effort today to communicate new information to the court. It’s very important to reflect. I am going to take my final walk through this case with your comments in mind and will issue my final ruling in writing.” Outside the courtroom, nobody could say for certain when that would be. n

NEWS BRIEFS CITY In response to downtown’s protracted retail woes, the Santa Barbara City Council voted to spend $84,000 to hire a private economic consulting firm, Kosmont & Associates, to help craft a strategic plan to bring local shoppers to the central business district. Previous studies have repeatedly concluded that downtown retailers have come to rely too heavily on the tourist dollar and not enough on local needs. Accordingly, Kosmont is expected to draft plans to “shift the tenant mix toward the needs of residents and provide guidance for property owners and brokers to select optimal tenants.” In recent years, City Hall has heard some business leaders call for blocking off parts or all of State Street to vehicle traffic. Kosmont will examine “a shift toward a pedestrian mall design to ensure a quality pedestrian-focused experience.” The Marc apartment complex on outer State Street — the biggest, first, and most controversial manifestation of the City of the Santa Barbara’s experimental program to get more rental housing units built — just sold to a Los Angeles–area investment firm for $56.2 million. From the get-go, rents at the 89-unit Marc — $2,900 to $3,700 a month — induced sticker shock and gave program critics an endless supply of rhetorical ammunition. Later this year, the council will wrestle with a proposal to impose affordability requirements on such Average Unit-size Density (AUD) projects. One proposal would require that up to 15 percent of all AUD units be rented at rates affordable to members of the so-called “missing middle.” Henry Thompson is the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport’s new director, city officials announced this week. Thompson comes from leading the airport in Shreveport, LA, and his prior experience includes management positions at the City and County of San Francisco International Airport Commission and the San Jose International Airport. He also served as an air traffic controller in the United States Air Force. “Henry is known for taking on tough issues and effective management and mentoring of airport staff,” said City Manager Paul Casey. “I think he will bring a breadth of experience in all airport operations to Santa Barbara.”

COUNTY Santa Barbara Rep. Salud Carbajal joined Rep. Doug LaMalfa of Oroville, CA, to introduce a fourth attempt at legislation to add Camp 4 to the Chumash reservation, HR 317. LaMalfa had sponsored three previous bills for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, with the latest, HR 1491, dying in the Senate’s Committee on Indian Affairs when the 115th Congress ended in December 2018. Carbajal’s predecessor, Lois Capps, had not supported the successive legislative efforts.

HBJ Blisters PG&E

ith Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) now facing possible murder charges and threatening to declare bankruptcy because of immense fire liabilities, State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson said she had little inclination to save the nation’s largest utility company “from falling into the abyss,” adding, “They have continued to behave with complete disregard for their responsibility to provide energy for their customers in a safe manner.” Even with its pending bankruptcy proceedings, the company still has major assets, she said, and the “lights will stay on and the electricity and gas will continue flowing.” Jackson charged the company has failed to keep its power lines away from nearby trees and disputed the company’s contention that climate change was at fault. PG&E claims it’s been cutting or pruning 1.4 million trees a year, but when drought killed 129 million trees statewide, it couldn’t keep up. Jackson dismissed that as an excuse: “Those fires are not starting at 8,000 feet.” The company’s stock has dropped 83 per-

cent in the last two months in part because of its growing liability. Recently it was found guilty of falsifying documents regarding the San Bruno gas line explosion that killed 8 people in 2010. In 2017, PG&E’s transmission lines were found responsible for 18 wildfires that burned 200,000 acres and claimed the lives of 22 people. Then came the Camp Fire, during which 86 more people died. In late December, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra floated the possibility of prosecuting the company on murder charges, the theory being the company knew or should have known its transmission lines could have led to such devastation. In Sacramento, PG&E’s announcement is regarded with a mixture of alarm and a suspicion that the bankruptcy threat might be the precursor of a bailout request. The company has projected $30 billion in potential fire-related liabilities, but has only $1.4 billion in insurance coverage. “It’s the same company, the same leadership, and the same culture,” Jackson said. —Nick Welsh

Mark A. Hartwig was named this week as the next fire chief of the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. Hartwig comes from San Bernardino County, where he’s served as fire chief since 2011. He was recognized as the 2017 California Fire Chief of the Year by the California State Fire Chiefs’ Association and was appointed by then-governor Jerry Brown to the California Commission on Emergency Medical Services. He also has a background in emergency services administration and emergency medical care. His first official day in Santa Barbara is 2/18. “I am excited to join the Santa Barbara County team and the well-respected County Fire Department, and look forward to further engaging our communities and our partners in the ongoing review and development of disaster readiness and response,” Hartwig said in a prepared statement. “Engagement and partnerships are the keys to success.” Visit Santa Barbara reported this week that several prestigious media outlets have listed the Santa Barbara area as a top travel destination for 2019. The New York Times, AFAR magazine, Travel + Leisure, Worth, Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, and Expedia all featured the region in their top picks for next year. “These honors are all the more poignant and meaningful, coming out around the anniversaries of the 1/9 Debris Flow and Thomas Fire, which so greatly impacted our community last year,” said Visit Santa Barbara CEO Kathy Janega-Dykes. “This is a testament to the strength of Santa Barbara’s reputation and its enduring and remarkable appeal to travelers around the world.”

STATE This past weekend, Assemblymember Monique Limón returned from a day-long tour of the migrant shelters on both the U.S. and Mexican side of the border, camps that currently hold almost 15,000 children. Along with members of the state’s Latino Legislative Caucus, Limón received a firsthand account of the desperate conditions faced by the immigrants. “No family and no child deserve to be subjected to the conditions we saw today, especially not at our own border,” she said. According to Limón, each day, the number of people being held in the shelters fluctuates, and the conditions faced by individuals also vary from shelter to shelter. In one of the three shelters she visited, run by the San Diego Rapid Response Network, 532 individuals were being held. Since October, around 4,500 detainees have been held at that shelter alone.

FEDERAL Rep. Salud Carbajal requested on 1/11 that his pay be withheld until the federal government is fully reopened. “I’m standing in solidarity with federal workers on the Central Coast and across the country who are struggling to pay their bills this month and whose families are hurting due to this irresponsible shutdown. If they’re not getting paid, neither am I,” said Carbajal, joining dozens of federal legislators delaying their paychecks. Roughly 30,000 federal workers in California and 800,000 nationwide have been impacted. Carbajal has cosponsored HR 67 to guarantee back pay to furloughed workers in the event of a government shutdown.

LEGAL SHOWDOWN: Jarrod Schwartz, executive director of Just Communities Central Coast, has filed a declaration in defense of the organization and its teachings.

Motion to Dismiss

School District, Just Communities Respond to Lawsuit by Blanca Garcia he Santa Barbara Unified School District and Just Communities Central Coast have submitted responses to the complaint filed by Fair Education Santa Barbara on December 10 that claims Just Communities’ material is anti-Caucasian, anti-Christian, and anti-male. Fair Education, a group of mostly anonymous concerned citizens, filed the lawsuit following the approval of a $300,000 contract between Just Communities and the school district in the fall. Fair Education also asked for a temporary freeze on the contract as the case moves forward. Just Communities has been working with the district since 2005 to help close the achievement gap between Latino and white students. It provides implicit-bias and educational-equity workshops and instruction to teachers, parents, and students in the district. Its contract this year provides funding for seven programs — all but one are for educators and parents. All the programs are voluntary, and students must receive parent permission to attend. The district has denied the allegations made by Fair Education that Just Communities and the district intentionally discriminated against the plaintiffs or their children on the basis of their race, ethnicity, religion, or sex. The complaint also alleges violation of California Public Contract Code for failure to put the contract up for bidding. Fair Education provided a list of individuals who’ve worked for the district, Just Communities, or both and labeled them a “potential conflict of interest.” Former school boardmember Ismael Ulloa is one of the individuals listed. In 2016, Ulloa was a paid instructor for Just Communities, according to the Fair Education complaint. While on the board in 2018, Ulloa voted to approve the Just Communities contract. However, Ulloa was not working for Just Communities when he voted to approve the contract. “SBUSD denies that there are any real, actual or potential

conflicts of interest because of the alleged relationships,” reads SBUSD’s answer to the complaint. Just Communities has requested that five of the six counts in the lawsuit be dismissed. Four of the claims are federal discrimination claims. Just Communities argues that because no members from Fair Education have personally come forward to plead that they’ve been discriminated against, the group does not have legal standing. According to Fair Education Chair James Fenkner, the group has about half a dozen people ready to testify and provide depositions, which have not yet been taken. Twelve declarations by defendants, including that of Superintendent Cary Matsuoka and Just Communities Executive Director Jarrod Schwartz, have been filed. Fenkner claims Fair Education is “diverse” and not “political.” According to its statement of purpose, the group’s mission is to “advocate for fair education policies in the Santa Barbara Unified School District and in Santa Barbara County that benefit all Americans educated in the Santa Barbara Unified School District.” Until recently, Fair Education’s Facebook page featured a link to a story about Just Communities published on FrontPage Mag, a right-wing website that’s managed by the David Horowitz Freedom Center and has been labeled as “anti-Muslim” by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The story, titled “Crude Anti-White, AntiMale, Anti-Christian Communists Indoctrinate California K-12 Students,” refers to Just Communities as a “leftist hate group.” The article makes highly charged statements such as, “[t]he last thing any young student in America needs is to be taught about is race. [sic] Race matters only to radicals.” Chief financial officer for Fair Education Gregory Gandrud called Just Communities “communist” in the article’s comment section and asked for donations to help fund the suit. The link to the article has since been

Foodbank, 2-1-1 Rally for Federal Workers

anta Barbara County Foodbank gave out more than 1,700 pounds of food last weekend to families affected by the federal shutdown. More than 50 families showed up on Friday to pick up groceries at the Santa Barbara and Santa Maria locations. Now, Foodbank is adding a third location at the Lompoc First Methodist Church. As word about the event has spread, Foodbank is expecting three times as many families as last weekend. “We’re expecting 60 families at each location,” said Foodbank Marketing Manager Judith Smith-Meyer about the event planned for this Wednesday. Foodbank was moved to action after Santa Maria Airport TSA (Transportation Security Administration) employees reached out in anticipation of their first missed paycheck. “Anytime members of Santa Barbara County are facing hunger, that’s our job to get involved,” said Smith-Meyer. Foodbank will be distributing food Wednesday and Friday at its warehouses in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria, and at the First Methodist Church in Lompoc 1-2:30 p.m. One organization helping to connect families affected by the shutdown to community services is 2-1-1. The phone number is a health and human service line working

to pair individuals with resources. Service is available around the clock, and Program Manager Elisa Pardo encouraged anyone affected to call to speak with a 2-1-1 operator. While there are services such as Foodbank that are filling immediate needs, 2-1-1 can also help families get connected to counseling services, after-school activities for kids, and more, said Pardo. For a list of resources available, call 2-1-1 or visit 211santabarbara county.org/government-shutdown. Confidentiality is guaranteed. Roughly a dozen people, including prison guards in Lompoc and Coast Guard employees, have written to Congressmember Salud Carbajal to detail the impact the shutdown is having on them and their family. The government has affected many more families across the district, some of whom are not federal employees. Robert Miklik, a U.S. Navy veteran and commercial airline pilot, had his certificate up for review by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) prior to the shutdown. Because of the shutdown, the FAA is not issuing or reviewing licensing and certifications. “We are not federal employees, but we, like many other families are feeling the backlash of this shutdown,” wrote his wife, Joyce Miklik. —Blanca Garcia

an and should Saturday’s farmers’ market be relocated from its longtime digs at the Cota Street parking lot to De la Guerra Plaza? Although there’s reportedly been considerable interest in such a move— even excitement—by members of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market board of directors and the City Council, the council just voted to allocate $40,000 to wage a public outreach campaign. That process is to ensure there’s no repeat of the abrupt manner in which City Hall announced this past fall that the Cota Street lot was the preferred location for the new police station. That news caught the farmers’ market community by surprise and triggered a quick firestorm of confusion mixed with outrage. The council hired land-use consultant Suzanne Elledge. They will also hire an architect to hammer out plans showing how De la Guerra Plaza could be redesigned to accommodate an event as big as the farmers’ market. To make it work, the entire plaza would have to be raised up to curb level. The lawn would go. In addition, De la Guerra Street would be blocked off at State and Anacapa streets, as is done every year during Fiesta. No estimate exists yet for how much such a transformation would cost, but it’s expected that most of the money would come from the city’s Measure C infrastructure funds. Plans to reconfigure De la Guerra Plaza have been pursued before, but foundered in the face of opposition from the News-Press. Subterranean political efforts are reportedly now in play to enlist News-Press support; the News-Press employee parking lot would help address concerns about adequate parking

among market vendors. Even without the News-Press lot, project manager Brad Hess said, there was no shortage of public lots nearby, including City Hall’s. Relocating the farmers’ market to De la Guerra Plaza, Hess said, would give downtown Santa Barbara a much-needed shot in the arm. The plaza was dedicated to the city in 1853, Hess said, but functioned as the town center for 30 years prior to that. That legacy will need to be acknowledged in any new plans, he said. —Nick Welsh

Fenkner said he didn’t agree with FrontPage Mag’s “angle of attack” and that statements Mag in the article “didn’t really align with their mission.” When asked whether there was value to teaching students about race, Gandrud said, “I don’t think we should be excessively talking about the particular subject. If you spend too much time focusing on

one subject, kids suffer.” Fenkner said he believes kids should be taught to be sensitive of different backgrounds and should be taught about race through literature, such as Shakespeare and the book To Kill a Mockingbird.

Cannabis-Infused Canines

SEEING RED: On the face of things, it just

looked like a crew of corner-cutting, scofflaw real estate types from an outfit called West Bluff Capital got dragged before the City Council by a couple of upright, uptight solid citizen types for totally renovating an Upper East house without getting necessary permits. West Bluff had, in fact, gotten

a permit to replace the roof. But along the way, they totally remodeled the interior of a home built in 1953 by the guy who created Loreto Plaza. They added a front deck that the neighbors complain invades their privacy. And they replaced the wooden garage door with a frosted-glass model that sprays nighttime light on innocent passersby. There were lots of other little things, too, that, combined, violated the integrity of what experts call “mid-century design.” In July, city inspectors were alerted. West Bluff was ordered to stop. They didn’t. Then the inspectors affixed a red tag stop-work order to the front door. The red tag was removed so real estate agents could show the property. Work resumed. That seriously pissed off the inspectors, who then redtagged the house again. They also called the City Attorney, who commenced legal action. Ultimately, West Bluff managed to secure permits — after the fact — for the work it had already done. It had to pay a fine of $250. Two neighbors flipped their corks. One is a structural engineer who created four com-

panies — all of which, it turns out, use caustic acids. He himself spent eight months getting a permit to redo his own roof. The other is a former El Presidente of Fiesta. They were so mad they appealed West Bluff ’s after-thefact permits. Do rules mean nothing? they demanded. Are there no consequences for violating rules and regulations? they asked the council. Normally this would be just another story in the Naked City. But two of West Bluff ’s principals— Julian Michalowski and Malante Hayworth —also happen to be the driving force behind the new recreational retail cannabis dispensary slated to go in at 1019 Chapala Street. For that, Julian and Malante teamed up with some serious heavy hitters in Colorado’s cannabis world. They plan to create a sprawling Central Coast cannabis empire with about eight outlets running from Lompoc to West Hollywood. Their partnership, Coastal Dispensary, was also the top scorer in the City of Santa Barbara’s intensely competitive — and now intensely contested—beauty pageant among wannabe recreational operators. They also have been green-lighted by City Hall to open a cannabis manufacturing plant on the Eastside, from which they will run a distribution center. Julian is short and stocky, a former rugby player. He’s endowed with a charismatic smile and a menacing glower. Malante is long and lean, a former volleyball stud and onetime rock-star bartender. Neither took

to the council podium to explain themselves. Instead, their partner Neil Botts showed up to play the role of designated fall guy. And I mean that literally. Botts first acknowledged work had been done without permits. He acknowledged it was wrong. He apologized for it. Then he collapsed at the dais, slowly crumbling to the ground. Mayor Cathy Murillo called a recess. Botts returned to explain he’d recently undergone treatment for cancer; he’d been absent from the business the last 18 months, and he probably would not be returning. Where was Julian? Where was Malante?

Nowhere to be seen. Not a good look. It got worse. Upon council questioning, it came out that West Bluff appeared to be a serial offender, getting red-tagged as many as five time for doing work far in excess of what permits allowed on the houses they’d been flipping. It was also alleged West Bluff “lied” to city officials, telling them the offending glass garage door previously existed, when in fact, it had not. Does it matter? It turns out Julian and Malante also provided false information on their application to City Hall for the Chapala Street

cannabis retail storefront. They claimed they owned the building outright at the time they submitted their application. In actual fact, the sale had not yet cleared escrow. Ultimately, it would, and they did come to own the prop-

erty. But that was only after City Hall had extended the application deadline by one month. Again, the question is, who cares? For starters, a very large Arizona-based cannabis operator who lost out to Julian and Malante by just three points — out of a maximum of 1,000 — really does. Before the deadline was extended, this operator, who proposed opening a shop on the 900 block of State Street, had a higher score than Julian and Malante. He has since sued City Hall, claiming, among other things, that Coastal lied on its application and that City Hall effectively rewarded them for doing so. It’s tempting to dismiss this as the sour grapes of a sore loser. Millions, after all, are at stake. Still, there’s a thematic consistency here that should be raising red flags — if not red tags— at City Hall. It’s hard to read City Hall’s response. On one hand, city officials insist Julian and Malante have done everything they’ve been asked and without complaint. But in legal papers, attorneys hired by City Hall charged Julian and Malante failed to live up to the written contract they signed in which they promised to “indemnify” City Hall against such legal challenges. Sounds like the squeak of a back door opening.

There are a million stories in the Naked City. To find out how this ends, we’ll need — Nick Welsh a million and one.

Teachers in the huge Los Angeles School District went on strike on January 14, bringing to the nation’s most liberal state a work stoppage campaign for higher wages and better working conditions that in the past year rolled through a series of Republican red states. Although Newsom said he won’t get involved in direct negotiations, at least for now, the powerful California Teachers Association is one of his strongest political backers and will expect him to aid the teachers—even beyond his budget proposals’ billions in new education funding to buttress their pension plans, money which proved insufficient to head off the strike. Trump, embroiled in the longest U.S. government shutdown in history over his demand for financing a border wall with Mexico, threatened to hijack billions in federal dollars earmarked for crucial flood-control infrastructure in California to build his vanity project, while leaving similar funding intact in states that voted for him. Newsom, having positioned himself rhetorically as the leader of the Trump resistance in California, now must shape an effective strategy for overseeing a response to the president with real-world consequences. “I love this stuff,” Newsom said during his budget launch, during which he displayed an impressive understanding and knowledge of arcane and complicated policy details. Let’s hope so. HOW’S HE DOIN’? PolitiFact, a non-

By contrast, rookie chief executive Gavin Newsom waltzed into the governor’s suite on January 8 amid a booming economy, a huge fiscal surplus, and a Legislature overwhelmingly populated by Democrats united in opposition to the race-baiting and xenophobia emanating from the White House. In his first days, Newsom won widespread media acclaim for an inaugural address rooted in progressive values and anti-Trumpism, followed by a virtuoso presentation of his first budget proposal, which combines new, liberal spending programs with economies dear to conservatives. Then his second week arrived. With pundits’ plaudits still ringing in his ears (“Unique and impressive,” extolled the routinely grumpy George Skelton of the L.A. Times), Newsom suddenly faced a trio

partisan fact-checking outfit, funded by the nonprofit Poynter Institute school for journalism, is publishing a new “Newsom-Meter” “to track the progress of 12 of Newsom’s most significant campaign promises over the next four years,” according to the site. During the campaign, the former San Francisco mayor and lieutenant governor frequently boasted of his agenda of “audacious” goals, and now the news organization says it will hold him accountable for what he promised in interviews, speeches, and on his website about education, the environment, health care, homelessness, and housing. Many of these promises were listed on his campaign site under the headline of “As Governor, Gavin Will,” but, to the surprise of no one, the new guy is already backpedaling on some of them. “Oh, I never promised; I said it’s my goal,” he said, when asked in a recent interview about his, um, promise to ensure that 3.5 million new housing units are built by 2025. “And goals are nothing more than dreams with deadlines.” Gack. — Jerry Roberts

BOLD Thinking

he Alzheimer’s Association estimates more than 5 million Americans live with the disease and more than 16 million are caregivers. I became passionate about Alzheimer’s after I lost my dad to this devastating disease more than two years ago. For my mom and me, trying to navigate our way through caregiving and support was a struggle both physically and mentally. Congress just passed the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act with a strong bipartisan vote, and I want to thank Congressmember Salud Carbajal for championing this innovative legislation. The BOLD Act will allow our nation to address Alzheimer’s as an urgent publichealth crisis and increase early detection and diagnosis, reduce risk, prevent avoidable hospitalizations, reduce health disparities, and support the needs of caregivers. By applying a public-health approach, we can change the trajectory of Alzheimer’s disease. Thanks to the passage of BOLD, we are one step closer to a world without Alzheimer’s. —Leigh Cashman, S.B.

Insulting

found last week’s Capitol Letters title, “California’s Political Geezers Strike a Blow for the Geriatric Set,” insulting and demeaning. And why is Pelosi the “Grandma of the House?” She is the Speaker, though she modeled the warmth and inclusion we hope grandmothers embody when she asked the children in the House to join her as she accepted the gavel. I don’t remember anyone ever speaking of a male speaker as the “Grandpa of the House.” Speaker John Boehner was congratulated in Huffpost on being a grandfather, but it wasn’t the way they wrote about him as a politician. Older politicians’ experience is a good thing, and it’s hard to argue with that, no matter what age we are. We can also learn from those younger, who see things in fresh ways because they don’t have the same group think. How we come together, not how we are at opposite ends of a spectrum, is how we will fix polarization in our country.

Asparagus, Not Cactus

Great Agave Experiment” article misclas“ T he sified as a cactus the blue agave, which belongs

to the asparagus family (Asparagaceae) and is more related to the grass on your lawn than any cactus.

Also, not all succulent, spiny plants are cacti, which belong to the family Cactaceae, a family of flowering plants native to the Americas. Many succulent plant species, such as some euphorbias (family Euphorbiaceae) bear a striking resemblance to cacti and are often incorrectly called “cacti” in gardens and nurseries.

wesome agave story: Well written, very topical, important news for the South Coast, and very interesting. Recently I traveled to Tequila, Mexico, and visited the Cuervo factory. Located in the middle of the city, it is beautiful and clean like Santa Barbara. For miles around the city, the rocky hills are covered with agave plants. Good luck to Eric Hvolboll with his experiment. It would be a productive, drought-resistant, beautiful use of the land between Highway 101 and the top of the ridges from Refugio State Beach to the Gaviota Tunnel. —Joe Bush, S.B.

Growing to Learn

fter reading “Learning to Grow” on January 3, I feel I have to chime in. I worked at Open Alternative School for 13 years and observed the positive impact their beautiful organic garden had on students, all of whom had time in the garden to learn, work, and taste its produce. This hands-on experience is something that should be a weekly activity, not a field trip once or twice a year. The produce from our garden was used in the school’s kitchen and at school events; classroom cooking projects were often taught by parents. Let’s make sure our secondary students have an opportunity to experience the wonders and joys of an on-site garden. If enough teachers, parents and students want this, it can happen. Let our school boardmembers know if you think it is an important aspect of education that needs to be on each school —Dennis Koski, S.B. site.

Linda Jean (Dawson) Van Dyke 1955-2019

Linda passed away on January 9, 2019 with her family by her side. Linda was born in Los Angeles in 1955 and moved to Carpinteria with her parents and four siblings in 1962 after spending summers camping at the Carpinteria State Beach.

INDEPENDENT.COM

Growing up in the foothills of Carpinteria was filled with a lot of freedom and adventure – riding bikes down Foothill Road to Mill’s Drugs or Tino’s, hiking up the creek to the “Burnt Down House” above La Mirada, long days at the beach and hanging with friends and her 6 siblings. She attended St. Joseph’s School up through 8th grade and graduated from Carpinteria High School in 1973. She was involved in cheerleading, guitar and horseback riding and has many lifelong friends from her time in Carpinteria. During these years, the family spent their summer vacations at Ripplewood in Big Sur, CA where the adventures continued and more friendships developed. Sadly, in 1972, Linda lost her Mom, Kathleen Dawson, and Linda and her older sister Donna became “Moms” to the 5 younger kids. Linda’s close friend in high school, Donna (Simms) Stevenson, lived around the corner and Donna’s Mom, Neda Simms, became a surrogate mom to Linda in that challenging time, and Neda continued to be “Mom” to Linda and her family for all of her life. The ultimate executive Assistant, she developed those skills at jobs with SB Cottage Hospital, McGowan Guntermann, the American Cancer Society in Lompoc (where she coordinated the initial Relay for Life event), and spent her final 20 years working at Coast Hills Credit Union. She also employed these organizational skills with her volunteering efforts, including being a PTA Mom, Girl Scout Troop leader, Water Polo, Volleyball and Football supporter for her kids, and with the Rancho Vino fundraisers. Linda was married to the love of her life, Marty Van Dyke, for 35 years (after meeting when Linda was a reserve officer with the Santa Barbara Police Dept). Upon their marriage, Linda became a step mom to Charlie (who was 4 years old) and subsequently welcomed three more children – Katie Steltzer (Ben), Amanda Van Dyke and Andrew Van Dyke (Alexis). Linda and Marty are now grandparents to eight. Linda was a dear and cherished friend to many, and a surrogate Mom to many more – her house (and her energy) were the hub of many BBQ’s and celebrations, usually with Marty cooking

and Linda being the planner and social butterfly. Linda and Marty and family enjoyed many camping trips to El Capitan and Refugio State Beach Parks, Yosemite, Big Sur, Cachuma and Lake Casitas, often accompanied by extended family and friends. Linda was a longstanding member in her local Bunco group, the WIN (Women’s Investment Network) and the Pier Fitness pool group. She also loved board and card games – Pinochle, Poker and Scrabble. Education was a priority to Linda, and she proudly received her AA degree from Allan Hancock College in 2014. At the ceremony, she was recognized for having the longest span between first year and her graduation, but she was bound and determined to finish (and she did)! Her Catholic faith was also important to Linda, and she was a long time parishioner of the La Purisima Parish in Lompoc. Last May, as part of a trip to Europe, she visited both the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Sanctuary of our Lady of Lourdes in France. She also had family trips to both Flagstaff AZ and Disneyland (with the grandkids) in 2018. Linda experienced her first heart issues in 2003 and has been under a cardiologist’s care since that time; this did not slow her down until the last few months of her life. Since her initial diagnosis, she has lived her life to the fullest – she spent many a weekend visiting with friends and family (out of town) and with trips to CO for her grandchildren’s birthdays. The family wishes to thank the doctors who provided great care to Linda over the years – Dr. Cory Gusland (Lompoc), Dr. Joseph Ilvento (Santa Barbara) and Dr. Michele Hamilton and staff at Cedars Sinai (Los Angeles). Linda is survived by her husband Marty and four children, her six siblings, many devoted friends and extended family, and her dog Sophie. A rosary will be held at the Starbuck-Lind Mortuary in Lompoc, CA on Thursday, January 17th at 6pm. The funeral mass will be held at La Purisima Conception, Lompoc on Friday, January 18th at 10am, with burial at Lompoc Cemetery and reception following at the Parish hall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either the American Cancer Society or American Heart Association.

Mahlon E. Balderston 11/09/23-01/06/19

Mahlon E. Balderston Jr., 95, of Santa Barbara, California, passed away on January 6, 2019, after a short illness. A well-respected music teacher, composer, and organist, Balderston first learned to

play the piano as a child prodigy, around age 5. He was born in Trenton, New Jersey on November 9, 1923. After his military service in World War II, he began his formal training at Oberlin Conservatory of Music on scholarship in 1949. He subsequently attended Iowa State where he received his master’s degree in music composition and moved to Santa Barbara. Balderston’s first job after moving to Santa Barbara in the early 1950s was with the Unitarian Society as their primary organist—-a position he held over 50 years, until his formal retirement in 2007; however, it should be noted he continued playing there until fall 2018 out of sheer love. He was also a beloved music educator, both with the public school system, UCSB, and with Santa Barbara City College, where he was the head of the music department. Mahlon’s life centered around “The Arts.” In his retirement years, Balderston remained very active in music, playing for the Samarkand community, Trinity Episcopal Church, and various venues around the Santa Barbara and Ballard areas. He often played his original compositions and arrangements for events held at these venues, and was particularly well known for his participation in the “Advent Grande” series at Trinity Episcopal Church during the holidays. He was a most beloved and resilient man, father, friend, and mentor, who loved cats, cruise ships, and prolifically writing postcards and letters. A man of refinement, he never failed to send a thank you note. Mahlon always held himself and his music to the highest standards. He was happiest when involved in music or behind the organ, playing and teaching. He loved Saturday mornings at Mesa Café with family and friends, reading suspense novels and he especially loved Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30 composed in 1909 by Sergei Rachmaninoff. The special place he leaves behind in our hearts and in the community will long be felt. Balderston was so proud of his accomplished sons and daughters-in-law. He is survived by his three sons: Mahlon III “Lonny” of Thousand Oaks; John (Kimberly) of Fort Worth, TX; and Stephen (Megan) of Clarendon

Hills, IL; as well as six grandchildren: Lauren Tevis (Matthew), Andrew, Michael, Katie, Celia and James; great-grandchild, Lyla, as well as Lyla’s “sister-on-the-way” in spring; and many beloved friends who were like family to him. The family would like to thank the exceptional staff at Sarah House Hospice for giving Mahlon comfort and care in the last weeks of his life. Per his request no funeral service will be held. A memorial tribute to his life is planned for January 20, 2019 at 3:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Society in Santa Barbara. In lieu of flowers, please remember Mahlon through donations to the music scholarship foundation in his name at Santa Barbara City College, or Sarah House.

Eleanor Florence (Coles) Wyatt 03/05/24-12/13/18

Eleanor Wyatt died on December 13, 2018 in her apartment at Vista Del Monte surrounded by her family and friends. She is survived by her daughter and son, Catherine and Cory Wyatt; her younger brother, Henry Churchill Coles II; her grandchildren: Herbie, Brian, Morgan and Melissa, and great grandchildren: Ethan, Hayden, Dean, Alder, Lexi, Talia and Lucy. Elly (as Eleanor was known by her friends and family) was born to Henry Churchill Coles and Esther Victoria Swanson Coles on March 5, 1924 in Woodland, California and moved to Santa Barbara with her family when she was 8 years old. During WWII when her father’s army reserve unit was called into active duty, Elly was enrolled at an Episcopal boarding school, Saint Helen’s Hall in Portland, Oregon. Elly graduated from high school in 1942 and then studied at Stanford University. She was married for a brief time (1947-1951) and had two children (Catherine and Cory).

began her career in administrative health care in the early 50’s working as the bookkeeper for Hillside House. Later, she served as Executive Director of The Mental Health Association, and Phoenix of Santa Barbara, Inc., as well as similar positions with associated organizations for a number of years. She completed her healthcare career as Director of Wood Glen Hall and retired in the early 1990’s. Elly was a life-long Episcopalian. She was a member of Saint Michael’s University Church in Isla Vista and Trinity Episcopal Church in Santa Barbara. At Trinity she was a Vestry Member for many years, as well as serving in the voluntary position of bookkeeper for the church. Both within the church and within the county political realm, Elly was seen as a person to be greatly admired and a person worth listening to. In her later years she continued to hold and express a progressive, and at the same time, a thoughtful point of view. She served as a mentor to many and always reached out to help where ever needed. She did indeed live her faith. In the early 60’s Elly became active in the Republican Party by joining local GOP clubs. She was a founding member of G.A.L.S. Club (a local unit club of Republican Women Federated). She was also an elected member of the Santa Barbara County Republican Central Committee where she served as Secretary for many years, in addition to being an elected member of California State Republican Central Committee. Along with all her other skills, Elly was a lifelong Bridge Player. And she was more than just “good”! Her friends at Vista Del Monte knew the end was near when Elly handed over all the records of the bridge club only weeks before she died. Elly was greatly admired and genuinely loved by many. A memorial service, followed by a reception in the Parish Hall, will be held for Eleanor Wyatt at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1500 State Street on Sunday, January 20th at 2:00 p.m. In her plans for this service, Elly requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Wood Glen Hall (a nonprofit assisted living facility), or to a charity of your choice.

Stephen Charles Pickering, DDS, passed away on January 6th, 2019, at the age of 93. He was born on January 16th, 1925, in Bingham Canyon, Utah to Stephen Davies Pickering and Louisa Mellen Pickering. He graduated from Bingham High School and was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1943. He served in World War II in the Pacific, in the 161st Infantry Regiment, 25th Division, until January 1946. The 161st contributed greatly to the liberation of the Philippines, engaging in fierce combat in Luzon, Leyte Pass, San Isidro, and San Manuel. His Company (Company E) was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation for extreme valor. Stephen was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart, as well as the Combat Infantry Badge, and WW2 Victory Medal. After the war, he returned to Utah where he attended the University of Utah and earned a Bachelors Degree in Biological Sciences. He was then accepted

JANUARY 17, 2019

to the College of Physicians and Surgeons (University of the Pacific) where he earned his Doctorate in Dental Surgery in 1955. He went on to practice dentistry for 60 years starting off in Salt Lake City, Utah and then in Lompoc, California and Santa Barbara, California. He was passionate about his work and loved being a Dentist. He often donated his time and expertise by providing dental care to low-income families, both here and in Mexico. He was also an active member of The Lion's Club in Santa Barbara, and served as President from 1977-1978. He was married to Betty Houghton in 1948 and had one daughter, Dana Jane Pickering. They later divorced. In 1965 he married Carolyn Hofman Kinnersley. Carolyn and Stephen were married for 53 years and raised 3 more children together (Mike, Michelle and Steve). Throughout his life he loved to watch, play and coach sports. He played football, tennis, baseball and golf in his later years. He coached Little League Baseball, Girls Softball, and Dos Pueblos High Freshman Baseball for many years. He loved sports and was very competitive, which sometimes got him into trouble with the officials. He was known as "The General" on the Dos Pueblos Little League Baseball fields, much to his children's dismay. Stephen also had a soft spot in his heart for animals, and always had a beloved dog or cat by his side. He took in strays in the neighborhood, and adopted dogs who needed a home.

Chuck McClain 01/18/48-12/31/18

Good Morning, I am Chuck McClain. I am an Alcoholic, if I don’t take that first drink I won’t get drunk. I have not taken that first drink or drug since July 18, 1981. If you are reading this, I have moved on to my next realm, I will be resting for a while until my Lord sees fit to move me towards whatever is next. I passed as the result of the gift I was given, ALS. I say this disease was a gift because it forced me to participate in my growth spiritually and in the reality of my life. I have stayed very focused on the minutes and days that have gone by, I refused to miss a second… the sounds of music, voices, wind, rain, the exposure to unconditional love from my wife and best friend, Linda, my buddy Brooklyn, my daughters Shamika, Kellie and Jennie, my sons Terry and Gary, my sons-in-law Scott, Dallas and Thadd, and my grandkids, Malia, Tyler, Jakob, Stephanie and Lola. I also leave behind my sisters Rob, Mik, Melody and my brother Jim, along with nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many friends. I was blessed to live two dif different lives, one as a full on alcoholic that led me down a path of wreckage that I didn’t think I could ever rebuild. The other after I was able to get clean and sober that led me in the direction of trying to be of service to my fellow man or woman in their time of need. I made my wish, to be able to help at least one person that I could repay what was so freely given to me at my sobriety. I think I have helped at least one person and the rewards that I received for the rest of my life were unbelievable. Every need that I had has been met and most wants have been met too. My biggest needs were Sobri-

ety. I received that with my first sponsor Howard Dodge and my last sponsor and sponsors, along with a consistent pattern of AA Meetings weekly. Love. This came from Linda, the love of my life. She was there through thick and thin, the past couple of years were very rough for her. Kellie, taught me how to be a father and how to be unconditional in my love. Shamika, taught me forgiveness and allowed me to continue to be her dad. Spirituality. Initially, this came from AA Meetings then progressed via church through Pastors Dave Bloedel and Steve Hayden at Faith Lutheran Church in Carpinteria and lastly through Pastor Paul Nelson and JoAnne Kelly at Emanuel Lutheran in Santa Barbara. The last several months have been pretty amazing and in my daily practice of meditation and prayers, God has seen fit to allow me to change my meditation to a focus of memories of my past, not negative but all the good stuff. It is just like I was there all over, not to change anything but to experience all that was around me. Two good movies (meditations) a day! I have had many jobs in the first 33 years of my life that were fun, hazardous and dangerous. The second part of my life was mainly in the “helping profession” as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor and finally as the Supervisor of the Sheriffs’ Treatment Program in the Santa Barbara County Jail (15 years). I was always passionate and stubborn in life and tried to do the best I could with whatever or whomever I was involved with. Thank you all for allowing me to be part of your lives. I am a proud Vietnam Vet, Boatswain Mate 3 rd Class via the US Navy 1966-1970. I am proud of my flag! I came to the end of my life with no usable parts left, as I wanted, but still had red hair (somewhere) and slim as a stick! Born January 18, 1948 – Died December 31, 2018 My Memorial Service will be Friday, January 18th (my 71st Birthday) 2:00 pm at Emanuel Lutheran Church, 3721 Modoc Road, Santa Barbara, CA In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity. Thank you.

Beyond the fact and figures of his expertise, was the real Mike. At the core of his all too brief life were impeccable integrity and compassion for those in need. He thought deeply (and mostly privately) on a vast array of scientific, political and philosophical subject matters. From afar he might seem stoic and studious, yet when engaged in conversation, he’d reveal a thoughtful, caring man, with a brilliant mind. He enjoyed a diverse spectrum of friends that helped him expand how he saw the world. He believed in others. His goal was always to encourage employees, friends, and family to realize their talents and full potential. He’d know your name, look you in the eye when he shook your hand or gave you a bear hug. He never faltered for words, except when his heart was filled with emotion, and his soft blue eyes would reveal a profound tenderness. He was the kind of man, father, husband, and mentor that was resilient beyond belief, but not hard or calloused. He’d cuddle his cat, Buddy, with affection, give you the shirt of his back, and hold you nearly to the same elevated standards he held for himself. He saw patterns in numbers. He enjoyed designing homes and then converting those visions to reality in his spare time. He was happiest in nature: kayaking, hiking, skiing, sailing and fl fly fishing. The special space he leaves in the community and hearts of many will long be felt. He is survived by two sisters, Colleen Lucas and Kathy Ossenkop, the mother of his children, Marcia McGuire, daughter Kelli McGuire, son Scott McGuire, six grandchildren Peyton, Owen, Avery, Kendall, Esha, June and his beloved wife, best friend, and pal in all that he enjoyed or held dear, Donna-Christine McGuire. A private service will be held at the Old Mission Santa Barbara. In lieu of flowers, remembering Mike through support of Life Chronicles, Arts & Lectures, AHA, KCLU, or Human Rights Watch, for which he had great appreciation, would be meaningful to his memory.

CHANGED Sea-Level Rise Coming Soon It’s Never Too Early to Begin Planning for the End of the World

by Nick Welsh he seas off our beaches are rising. Is it too late to

adapt to the change? That’s the task that’s fallen into the laps of Melissa Hetrick and Dan Gullett, two experienced long-range planners for the City of Santa Barbara. These two now find themselves spearheading City Hall’s efforts to come to terms with sea-level rise — an undertaking epic in scope, mind boggling in its implications. Imagine “planning” for the ice age, only in reverse —and it’s happening much, much faster. By the end of the century— century only 81 years away— away seas off the coast of Santa Barbara are expected to rise anywhere from 5 to 6.6 feet. That’s if nothing is done to reduce the world’s carbon emissions. In 2018, those emissions went up globally. Here in Santa Barbara, they increased by 15 percent. This variation in predictions, from 5 to 6.6 feet, is based on the best available science measuring how quickly carbon in the atmosphere causes Arctic ice sheets to melt. That knowledge is constantly developing, as is our limited understanding of the ice sheets themselves. This explains why a study two years ago projected a five-foot sea-level rise for Santa Barbara, while one released in November 2018 — by the same consulting firm — concluded it could be as much as 6.6 feet. None of this reflects the alarming new evidence just reported in the journal Science indicating the world’s oceans have heated up 40 percent faster than projected five years

ago. In the years 2017, 2016, and 2015, ocean temperatures were the hottest ever recorded. The hotter the water, the more volume it occupies. More water plus hotter water equals higher seas. This past August, the City Council’s subcommittee, led by planners Hetrick and Gullett, began considering various strategies for adapting to this encroaching reality. Three councilmembers and representatives from the city’s water, harbor, and parks and recreation commissions joined them to discuss what happens when the sea rises by 2.5 feet and then what happens when it increases to 6.6 feet. A rising tide may lift all boats, but it also thrashes any infrastructure that happens to be in the way. In the City of Santa Barbara, that includes El Estero Wastewater Treatment Plant, the desalination plant, the harbor, and the airport, and that’s just for starters. Closer to the soul of Santa Barbara, sea-level rise threatens to gobble up nearly twothirds of the city’s 94 acres of beaches. Aside from losing 66 acres of beach, it would also adversely affect 1,200 parcels —public and private—making much of that land utterly unusable. The tone of the discussion is far different than it was about 12 years ago when then-councilmember Helene Schneider teamed up with UCSB scientist Bruce Caron to launch the now infamous Light Blue Line project. Mixing public science and guerrilla street theater, Schneider secured city funding to paint a light blue line throughout downtown,

showing where the ocean would be if it rose 10 feet. Real estate interests sued, arguing that it would destroy property values. Schneider withdrew her proposal. This time, the real estate industry has been quiet. As Caron noted, “A whole lot has changed in the past 10 years in terms of our understanding, but not much has been done.” Sea-level rise is violent. It does not remotely function like a bathtub gradually filling up. Think what will happen when churning winter storms, pounding waves, and rising tides meet the raging waters rushing down Central Coast creeks. Think of what happens when those two immensely powerful forces crash together, causing vast invasive tidal surges. Low-lying neighborhoods will be flooded out. Engineers call this “a hydraulic leap.” People living there call it a disaster. For neighborhoods between Cabrillo Boulevard and Highway 101 — the Funk Zone for example — tidal inundation will become a regular fact of life. There’s no waterproofing for tidal inundation. This past Wednesday, January 9, when the subcommittee on sea-level-rise adaption met, Hetrick talked about “a rainbow of options,” and private environmental consultant Nick Garrity talked about “tools in the toolbox”—beach nourishment, dikes, breakwaters, revetments, and managed retreat, to name a few. But any response will be expensive and complicated. There are no magic bullets. For example, current projections indicate that three stretches of Highway 101 between Santa Barbara and

Carpinteria will likely be inundated. Though outside the city’s jurisdiction, one of these stretches — nearly a mile long— long lies adjacent to the Andrée Clark Bird refuge. According to preliminary CalTrans studies, the solution is to raise these affected areas up by six feet. The preliminary price tag is $1.2 billion — already deemed prohibitively expensive. It so happens the city’s Creeks Division is already pursuing more modest engineering improvements to the bird refuge — for smell and habitat reasons — that will also help with sea-level rise. The plan is to enlarge the floodgate now preventing ocean waters from migrating into the lagoon.

In the lingo of adaptation planners, options run the gamut of “gray to green,” the former typically referring to beach-hardening devices — jetties, revetments, breakwaters — the latter looking to restore natural processes that have been short-circuited along the way. Up the coast, for example, the University of California, Santa Barbara, is working with the Coastal Conservancy to restore 64 acres of wetlands that had been transformed into the Ocean Meadows Golf Course in the 1960s. By creating a more gradual slope than the golf course had, the native pickleweed will be given a viable path of retreat from rising sea levels.

WHAT CAN I DO? OPTING OUT IS NO LONGER AN OPTION BY JEAN YAMAMURA

utting off until tomorrow what you could do today is no

longer an option when it comes to the gathering carbon in the atmosphere, even according to reports from the current administration. They all say it’s causing changes we’ll live to regret. Is there anything just one person can do that makes a difference? We asked a number of Santa Barbarans who spend a good amount of their waking hours thinking about this, and their no-holds-barred answer is yes. Here’s how:

• Drive clean; don’t drive; ride a bike. Everyone we asked agreed that personal transportation was the single-largest polluter (homes were second) individuals can affect. To avoid burning fossil fuels on those trips we all take every day, just think of the help that’s out there: Electric cars and motorcycles get California and Southern California Edison rebates; the federal government offers tax breaks. Metropolitan Transit District plans for all city buses to be greenhouse-gas free by 2030. And riding a bicycle and walking whenever possible help both your health and the planet’s.

¬ • Go solar, on your roof or a utility-offered program. An electric vehicle conserves little unless it’s powered by alternative energy sources; solar power goes into the grid during the day and is deducted from the array owner’s bill. Electric heat avoids using natural gas and the methane produced; the joy of air conditioning is guilt-free. The Green Rate program at SoCal Edison promises to buy 50 percent or 100 percent of a customer’s power from a renewable source. It costs a bit more ($9-$17 per $100 monthly), but new proposals before the Public Utilities Commission would bring those rates down.

¬ • Don’t eat red meat; eat more plants. Santa Barbara’s farmers’ markets bring locally grown produce and locally grazed meats to local kitchens, but at the grocery store, it’s a different story. Produce is trucked and flown across continents for the abundance we enjoy; it pays to read labels. The demand for meat means more fertilizer, fuel, pesticides, and water are used than in growing human food crops, plus the animals themselves are a source of pollution and methane. And our mothers were right; we’re healthier if we eat our vegetables.

¬ • Reduce. This simple word applies to having children, flying on an airplane, and everyday consumption. It’s the first word in the “reduce, reuse, recycle” slogan for a reason: Reusing and recycling consume water or energy in and of themselves; avoiding the purchase in the first place matters. But much more personally difficult is the “two, one, or none” observation regarding children. It’s the sheer number of us consuming resources on the planet that has led to this crisis. This one’s a no-brainer as well as a no man’s land of individual choice.

¬ • Think. At bottom, all suggestions come down to thoughtful considerations of our lives and ruminating on how it could all be dif different, from voting to shopping to agitating at the local and national n level— and then making it happen. level

gently stacked in the kind of movable shelving you’d find in the special collection section of a library. The staff is also now in the process of scanning each pressing into an open source database with a specific focus on phenology. Phenology is the study of seasonal life cycles in plants and animals, and understanding how the changing climate is affecting these cycles is critical to meeting the challenges of the planet’s climate-changed future. The Botanic Garden is one of 22 institutions contributing to the database, which will hold over 900,000 scans by the time it’s complete. Meanwhile, Botanic Garden researchers are also busy mapping plant regrowth and gathering data throughout the Zaca and Thomas Fire burn scars. Many of the areas, even before the fires, were known as “botanical black holes,” huge swaths of land that have received little scientific study. “The common thought is we know everything and [have] been everywhere,” said Knapp. “The fact is we know so little about the basic evolutionary history of a lot of plants.” All of these efforts, Knapp explained, help inform future conservation and restoration work, including a new project to protect the aforementioned salt marsh bird’s beak. “In terms of habitat, we’ve already lost a lot,” she said. “It’s not enough anymore to just set land aside. You have to actually restore the habitat too.” Volunteers are vital to these laborintensive projects, Knapp said, and while the Botanic Garden is blessed with a steady stream of them, it’s always in need of more. For volunteer opportunities, and to learn more about the Botanic Garden’s work, including dates of upcoming presentations and lectures, visit sbbg.org. sbbg.org n

there will inevitably be winners and losers, explained Dr. Denise Knapp, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s director of conservation and research. Some plants will adapt and withstand the changes while others will struggle to hang on. Already in Santa Barbara we can pick out members of both groups. Toyon, a perennial shrub that’s part of the chaparral community, and a number of sunflower species are doing just fine, said Knapp. Bishop pine trees on Santa Cruz Island, however, are dying en masse from reduced fog and moisture levels. Manzanita is struggling too, said Knapp, as is the salt marsh bird’s beak, a federally endangered plant that’s especially sensitive to fluctuations in elevation and salinity. “It’s really the poster child for sea-level rise and climate change,” she said. Since Knapp joined the Botanic Garden six years ago, she’s grown the Mission Canyon campus into a powerhouse of research and conservation, increasing its science staff from just a couple to a team of 11. Soon, a lichenologist and fire ecologist will join their ranks. Through field work and lab time in their impressive new headquarters perched above Las Canoas Road, they’re observing and cataloging the diversity of plant life throughout the Santa Barbara region. “Some people might think that conserving California native plants and habitats is too niche in the context of climate change,” said Knapp. “They might think we have bigger fish to fry. But this is actually the crux of it. Plants are the foundations of all habitats, and they support all critters, from bugs to vertebrates.” The best way to stave off the detrimental effects of our out-of-whack weather patterns, she said, is to maintain an ecosystem’s healthy abundance of plant life. “Diversity will provide resilience to the change that’s coming,” she said. “It will help stave off change.” Garden researchers regularly trek into the backcountry by pack mule and spend days observing, collecting, and pressing specimens.

rear its head in very obvious ways — hurricanes, droughts, and other extreme weather events — but mostly it arrives in increments so small they’re easy to miss.

That’s a dangerous dynamic, though, as willful ignorance and delayed action pushes the planet further into permanent disrepair.

It’s more reactive, and as human beings we try to avoid as much of the hard stuff as we can, because it’s work. If you look at the federal climate study that came out recently, it was hundreds and hundreds of pages of charts and tables and graphs and the best thinking of climate scientists, governmental organizations, and academic institutions. They all pointed in the same direction. They all said we have to wean ourselves off of carbon, post-haste, and we should have started 20 years ago.

Why is this issue so hard to wrap our heads around? When we look at ourselves as a society, we’re pretty good at addressing short-term crises. For instance, I got evacuated during the Holiday Fire, and the fire department was on top of that in about 10 minutes. It was truly amazing. And in Montecito, first responders and the community responded in a way that

But what’s more emotional than the end of the world? Well, it’s difficult because mostly what we’re looking at right now is small changes in climate. It’s a long-term problem that doesn’t lend itself to short-term solutions. Because I teach political psychology, I study what kinds of exposure to information and media is more likely to elicit a reaction, and visual memory is great short-term memory. Imagine one more platform off Santa Barbara, or somebody putting a [drilling] rig in Goleta. That kind of stuff.

Media and political psychologists like Dr. Garry Hare, a Fielding Graduate University faculty member, are studying how to adapt public communications to keep the issue at the forefront of people’s minds, even as their minds are pushing back. He’s currently writing an article, called “Data Doesn’t Cry — and Seldom Causes Others to Do So,” on why climate data seldom leads to climate action. He spoke to the Independent from his home in Goleta.

A FREE community event to commemorate the first 50 years of the modern environmental movement and call for renewed engagement and civic action.

How do you break through that paralysis? By triggering an emotional reaction. The idea is to simplify data to the point where you take a lot of the workload out of it. We can’t be subtle anymore.

hen it comes to figuring out how sea

life can adapt to a rapidly changing climate, scientists may have a lot to learn from urchins. Turns out, sea urchins are pretty tough. These spiky echinoderms may not be as cute as a floatation of otters or as cool as flowing forests of kelp, but they may hold critical clues as to how commercial fisheries and aquaculture operations might contend with a warming world. “Tough urchins tend to make tough babies,” according to Gretchen Hofmann, a UCSB molecular ecologist who focuses on the response of marine organisms to a changing environment. In this context, she explained, “tough” means able to tolerate warmer water. “If these animals can change quickly to persist in warming environments, it could help us understand how entire communities might be able to change. The thinking is that some organisms will be good at dealing with the heat while others won’t.” At the Hofmann Lab last week, postdoctoral researcher Marie Strader explained that she and her fellow scientists were studying urchins — some in tanks simulating a normal ocean, and others in more acidic conditions associated with water that’s absorbed a lot of carbon dioxide, that greenhouse gas linked to global warming. After inducing the urchins to spawn (with a diluted solution of potassium chloride), Strader said, gathered gametes (eggs) are gently blended with sperm, and the progeny are studied. “We’re mimicking climate change in the lab,” said Hofmann. “We’re asking: If the adults experience an environment that’s a little more challenging, will those females imbue things into the eggs that make their babies tougher? We test the progeny— progeny are you bigger? Do you have more lipids? Did your mom pack you a better sandwich? There’s a lot of theory and a lot of data that says animals kind of naturally do this, but we’ve never looked this carefully and in a climate-change context.”

HARD SCIENCE: Mimicking climate change in the lab, Gretchen Hofmann, a molecular ecologist at UCSB, is leading a study to see if baby urchins inherit traits that may help them tolerate warm-water conditions.

The applications are real, Hofmann added. “Can we save a fishery by raising heat-tolerant red urchins? The idea of ‘climate-proofing’ aquaculture is incredibly important globally.” The commercially harvested urchins that injected an estimated $30 million into Santa Barbara’s economy last year range from Baja to Alaska. Urchin roe, or uni—the Japanese word for “delicacy”—is an acquired taste; most of the harvest is exported. But they’re easier to study in the lab than a food stable from the depths, such as black cod, for example. “You have to start somewhere,” Hofmann said. The Hofmann Lab is also taking a hard look at the Santa Barbara Channel’s iconic kelp forests, those fast-growing undersea amber realms where all kinds of plants and animals gather, feed, and breed. “Kelp forests are more than just great places to be a fish,” Hofmann said. “They actually change the nature of the water. They put in more oxygen, and because they do photosynthesis, they suck CO2 out of the water, making it less acidic and providing this great climate change protection service.” But kelp forests, which also range from northern Baja to Alaska, don’t thrive in warmer water. “Maybe there is a threshold,” Hofmann wonders about that temperature at which thinning kelp forests can no longer render services critical to all the THE FUTURE IS HERE: Working on her PhD at UCSB, Logan Kozal (right) induces an forms of life they support.

COVER STORY C L I M A T E C H A N G E B R A I N B A R R I E R C O N T ’ D F R O M P. 2 7 results to a database, but it just sits there. What if your smartphone was able to access that database and overlay data in real time? Before your child sticks their toe in the water, you could point your phone’s camera at a creek or beach and see if it’s polluted. Or what if you had an app that showed what it would look like on State Street or in your backyard if the ocean were to rise by 18 inches? That fundamentally changes the way that people see data. They’re not being asked to read a white paper on agricultural runoff hundreds of miles away. They’re seeing the impact in their own neighborhood, which makes it easier on the brain to understand. Okay, once you trigger a reaction, then what? When we make it clear what the public can do today, they do a pretty darn good job, from recycling to installing LEDs to putting solar panels on their house. Maybe even buying a hybrid or an electric vehicle. We say, “Here are some options if you can afford them, and if you can’t afford them, perhaps we subsidize them.” The public gets behind that. We don’t see a whole bunch of people hanging signs saying “I refuse to recycle” or anything like that. Why, then, doesn’t individual action necessarily translate to public policy? I don’t think most of our elected officials, regardless of the political spectrum they’re on, are truly stupid. A few are, but many others are paid to be willfully ignorant. There’s a whole lot of money in the fossil-fuel industry. Are there any long-term problems we’ve actually been good at solving? I’m old enough to remember when you could stand in Los Angeles and not see the mountains because the air quality was so bad. We’ve been extraordinarily successful, when you think about it, in terms of emissions control and cleaning air in some of our urban centers over the last 25 years. Now if you go into the Central Valley, that’s not true. The air quality is terrible, and the health rates are awful. But that’s not a scientific question at all. It’s a political issue — we don’t care as much about farmworkers as we do folks who live in Santa Monica. The other equally interesting longterm problem right now is water. Have you seen any smart media strategies reminding people to conserve water? I used to live in Marin County, and one of its newspapers, the Marin Independent Journal, put a graph on the front page that linked water rates to the reservoir capacity. So if the reservoir capacity dropped down to say 20 percent, then the rates would start to go up. And so on. That visual information was right in front of everybody every day. And eventually, it started to change behavior. We’ve talked about visual cues, but what about language? What’s the best way for print media to cover this heady topic? It was unfortunate that for the first 10 years of us looking at this as an issue, people were calling it “global warming.” It all came home to roost when that senator held a snowball up in the senate chambers to prove that the earth wasn’t getting warmer. So the other side got smart, and NOAA and others started calling it what it is, which is really uncontrollable swings in the climate. Now, one of the things that I would do if I were in the local media is to really invite readers’ responses as to what they would propose as solutions. You pick the top three or five and discuss them. Basically, be kind of a public involvement policy arm. You need folks to say, “Listen, here are our top priorities in Santa Barbara,” whether it’s banning Styrofoam or plastic bags, or building more bike lanes. Because in the big scheme of things, those little changes are good to make. It’s good exercise. Because if we succeed in two or three of them, we’re more likely to roll up our sleeves and tackle the bigger ones. We start to believe in ourselves more when we can do that. n

ARCHITECTURAL FOUNDATION OF SANTA BARBARA

A public nonprofit charitable organization, with the goal of enhancing our community’s awareness and appreciation of architecture and the built environment. A public nonprofit charitable organization

“

Belief in the significance of architecture is premised on the notion that we are, for better or for worse, different people in different places — and on the conviction that it is architecture’s task to render vivid to us who we might ideally be. — Alain de Botton

When asked what the Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara does, we sometimes pause because we don’t know where to begin. “We educate about the importance of architecture and the built landscape.” That can, and does, mean a lot of things.

1986 1983 Acheson House was purchased by prominent Santa Barbara Architect Pierre Claeyssens and given to AFSB to be the owner and guardian of the property, to house its offices and to be a center to educate about and promote architectural excellence.

Acheson House, a Victorian Italianate residence was built for James J. Acheson, a railroad man with the Acheson-Topeka Railroad (which later became the Santa Fe Railroad) at the corner of Victoria and Garden Streets.

1904

AFSB established a Scholarship Grants program to focus on the profession of architecture with a generous donation from major founder, Pierre Claeyssens. Since that time new funders have joined to increase the funding and yearly grants. To date, over $1,300,000 has been given to students studying in the fields of architecture in Santa Barbara County.

1983

Built Environment Education Program (BEEP) first brought architectural education into elementary schools, introducing students to concepts of shelter, scale, and the design process. At the end of the five-week program, students build an architectural model of an imagined environment.

A small group walking tour of the downtown area began being led by highly knowledgeable docents of the Architectural Foundation. These Saturday tours focus on architectural styles, significant and historic buildings, aesthetics, past and present building usage, and landscape history. Experience Santa Barbara, its architecture and its past, in a unique and personal way.

1989

OUR THANKS TO:

The built environment is fundamental to the human existence. Following Alain de Botton’s quote from his book, “The Architecture of Happiness,” perhaps we can observe the built environment as an actor in our story, always there with us, for better or worse. Thus, in this manner, we can see that the way we shape our landscape and the choices we make as we inhabit that environment, can have meaningful contributions to our well being.

1990

2001

The award-winning Kids Draw Architecture program was developed by the AIA Fellow, Cass Ensberg to enrich our community’s awareness of the built environment. Young people are encouraged to sketch architectural landmarks, guided by local architects and artists. The artwork is included in a calendar and art exhibit each year.

With the immense popularity of the AFSB’s Saturday walking tours, a Sunday tour was added. The Sabado (Saturday) tour continues to be offered at 10 am and meets at the City Hall steps at De la Guerra Plaza. The Domingo (Sunday) tour is at 10 am and meets at the Downtown Public Library courtyard entrance on Anapamu Street. Tours are available every week, weather permitting.

The High School Design Competition was created to encourage Santa Barbara County high school students to design a space or building according to a set of requirements during a daylong design charrette. Architects guide the students and select 12 finalists from the approximately 50 to 60 participants. Final prizes and certificates are awarded.

2016 Architecture Engineering Summer Camps are offered to demonstrate real-life applications of engineering and technology. Together with Kidz Engineering 101, Inc, the AFSB offers sessions yearly during the summer break. If your child loves to draw, create, innovate, color and explore arts, you may very well have an architect waiting to be discovered.

AFSB’s Gallery was opened to present exceptional contemporary art, architecture, and design in a unique, historic setting. Through an active exhibition program, the Gallery provides a dynamic space in which visitors may contemplate and experience noteworthy examples from these fields, including their potential intersections.

2005

1991 If architecture is a player in our story, surely it is one of the least understood cast of characters. Architectural education is fast receding in public schools, soon to be found only in places where specialists are made, in universities. Thus, AFSB’s mission, and programs that target a variety of age groups, has become increasingly more important over time. With the rise of virtual spaces, come join us in appreciating and learning more about our physical comunity! Architects West

PARALLEL STORIES

Reflections on a Watery World:

Tony de los Reyes and Sameer Pandya SUNDAY | JANUARY 27 | 2:30 PM Inspired by the site-specific installation by Los Angeles-based artist April Street, The Mariners’ Grand Staircase (Armoured Stars, Flying Clouds), currently installed in the Museum’s Park Lobby, this conversation between artist Tony de los Reyes and writer Sameer Pandya explores the symbolic potential of the sea. As Herman Melville wrote, why did some “…hold the sea holy?” Why, like Narcissus, do we see ourselves in rivers and oceans? Why, with its associations of unpredictability, infinity, the beginnings of life, turbulent passions, unfettered freedom, purification, solitude and rebellion, does water seduce us, console us, and alarm us? Parallel Stories is a literary and performing arts series that pairs art and artists with award-winning authors and performers of regional, national, and international acclaim. This series functions as a multidisciplinary lens through which to view the Museum’s collection and special exhibitions. This program is generously sponsored by the Samuel B. and Margaret C. Mosher Foundation.

Remembering 1/9 with Candlelit Procession

ne year ago on January 9, Montecito was crushed. The community had lost loved ones, friends, neighbors, pets, and homes. On the one-year anniversary of the deadly debris flow, Montecito showed it had not lost hope. More than a thousand people of all ages filled Lower Manning Park for Raising Our Light, a candlelit vigil and procession to remember the 23 Montecito residents — children, siblings, spouses, grandparents — taken by the natural disaster. The event also honored what’s happened since that heartbreaking morning: valiant search and rescue, dedicated recovery and cleanup, and the growth of a very strong thread of common decency as strangers have stepped up to help strangers to heal. Volunteers had already handed out the entire supply of 1,000 flameless candles by 6:30 p.m. as Montecito Union School Superintendent Anthony Ranii made opening remarks. He was followed by Rev. Aimee Eyer-Delevett of All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, which had spontaneously transformed into a shelter and triage center on the morning of last year’s catastrophe. Montecito resident Brian McWilliams, headmaster of Santa Barbara Middle School,

had the honor of introducing Lauren Cantin, who was 14 at the time of her nationally televised rescue from beneath a hellish pile of mud and wreckage. McWilliams said that Cantin had taught him about courage, beauty, and grit. As Cantin sang “Amazing Grace,” her captivated audience weathered upwellings of grief with a sense of peace gifted by her voice. Four candles were lit— lit for love, peace, memories, and hope — and Carie BakerCorey, who lost a 12-year-old daughter, Sawyer, and a 25-year-old step-daughter, Morgan, read a poem about fire written by Sawyer a month before the Thomas Fire scorched Montecito’s mountain front, setting the stage for the 1/9 Debris Flow.

Farewell to Giovanni’s in Montecito

A FAMILY AFFAIR: Albert Noormand (center) with extended family and friends at Giovanni’s in Montecito

BETTER TOGETHER: Hundreds made the one-mile walk (left) from Lower Manning Park to All Saintsby-the-Sea Episcopal Church (above) on the evening of the one-year anniversary of the 1/9 Debris Flow.

After a choir of Montecito schoolchildren sang “This Little Light of Mine” and Suzanne Grimmesey, head of Santa Barbara County Behavioral Wellness, read a poem by Jan Richardson called “Blessing for the Longest Night,” the procession spilled onto San Ysidro Road. Hundreds made the one-mile walk to All Saints. There, the church bell sounded 23 times. Inside, we prayed and listened to music. Outside, we talked and enjoyed hot cups of lentil soup. —Keith Hamm

n a quiet evening before Christmas, Albert Noormand was happily surprised but didn’t immediately understand why so many friends and family were coming into his pizzeria on Coast Village Road. His four grown children and many grandchildren had secretly planned an event to celebrate the long history of Giovanni’s Pizza. Albert’s son Shawn, who owns the Carpinteria namesake eatery, showed up with his sons and joined other family members in the kitchen to help with the sudden rush. Noormand, owner and one of the original founders of Giovanni’s Pizza, has been looking for a new location since hearing that his lease would not be renewed in 2019. He’d been told the landlord is looking to rent the space to a more upscale restaurant. At 70 years old, with plans for 100, Noormand has been in the restaurant business since graduating college. He said he relishes the interaction with customers. “The restaurant business isn’t for everybody, but I love it,” he added. Giovanni’s has been a longtime destination for regulars and family pizza nights: “We’ve served three generations here,” he said. Celebrities have also been known to come by: “Oprah, Steve Martin, I recognize a lot of faces but don’t always know the names.” Technically within Santa Barbara city limits but known as the Montecito location, the family-style restaurant that opened in 1986 will shut its doors for good by the January 30 lease deadline. — Paul Wellman

wineries make Italian varietals when you enjoy this Carr sangio. Or, perhaps just enough make them, as sangiovese makes up less than one percent of all red-wine grapes grown in California. You’re not going to find many straw-covered bottles of chianti here. This Carr is a perfect rainy-night wine (we’re getting those again!), rustic and tannic but with plenty of berries and cherry fruit too. So while it might bite back, it’s just a lover’s nibble. The rustic qualities help it stand up to heartier winter meals, too — braise some beef or lamb, make something stewy, and then pop a bottle and enjoy. Or try to let it cellar, if you can resist it now—it’s only going to turn velvet in a few years. — George Yatchisin

PETER HARPER INTERVIEWED PAUL WELLMAN

MUSIC MEN: Peter Harper (center) and his bandmates — from left, David Leach, Zack Lodmer, Joti Rockwell, and Ethan “Pops” Chiampas — bring their infectious folk/Americana/soul to SOhO Restaurant & Music Club Saturday, January 19. Harper and crew stopped by the Independent for a live Side Notes session. Check it out at independent.com/harper.

fusion of everything. … [For example, for] my last album, Break the Cycle, I pressed 200 copies of that album in vinyl. … I handdrew every single album cover. Each album cover became a one-of-a-kind work of art in a limited-edition pressing. I got about 30 albums in, and I thought, “Oh, my God. I’ve got 170 more. What did you do to yourself?” I just kept going, and now that it’s done, and I can look back at all the artworks—what a phenomenal experience to be able to meld my skill sets. So the art isn’t lost. I’ve found other ways to weave it in.

SINGER/SONGWRITER TALKS ART AND MUSIC

Why did you decide to change artistic directions? Some of the things that I was trying to say in my sculpture … that I felt were really critical and important on a social level, weren’t getting across. That was frustrating. So I made bigger sculptures. Then I made sculptures that became interactive. Those helped, but it still wasn’t having the impact that I was hoping for. When I picked up the guitar to try to convey those similar messages, the songs really have … profoundly done that, in a way that the sculpture couldn’t. Was it hard to shift media? How do you incorporate your fine art into your musicianship? Initially I thought, “Uh-oh. I’m trading one for the other,” but ultimately, it has been a

L I F E PAGE 43

I like the way your song “Break the Cycle” moves — it changes pace and mood, incorporates several musical genres. How did it come about? I turned on the news and saw the terrorist attacks at the Bataclan Theatre in France. I just thought, “This can’t go on. We can’t just keep killing one another, on either side. As Americans, we’ve dropped enough bombs, and as radical extremists they’ve shot enough innocent people.” … I sat down … and the moment that I

found that right tuning, it just came pouring out. … The real surprise came in the studio. The guy who was going to play the electric guitar had to bail out at the last minute. [Sheldon Gomberg] said, “Oh, I’ve got a guy [Val McCollum, guitarist for Jackson Browne].” He came in and he started playing, and I thought, “Oh, my God. This guy is off-the-charts good. … He started ripping into it, and everything he did was brilliant.” [Just] as I wrote it and it poured out, he played his part, and it poured out. Do you have a new record in the works? I’ve got an EP, which is five songs, coming out on Valentine’s Day. The five songs that are on this EP are really fun. It’s a range between a full band and just me and the guitar. It’s blues, and it’s sort of pop-folk. It’s just really fun music. Then this summer, I will have a 12-song album, which will include the five songs from the EP and seven new songs. … There’s a lot going on in there, dynamically. — Michelle Drown

COU RTES Y

eter Harper’s road to singer/songwriter was circuitous. Although he grew up in his family-owned music store, Claremont Folk Music Center, he decided to pursue fine art, earning a Master’s of Arts from NYU and having a successful career as a sculptor. Then things changed — or more precisely, the world changed— and Harper wasn’t finding satisfaction creating visual art as he once had. So, he set down his sculpting tools and picked up a guitar. Fast-forward to 2013, and Harper, who also teaches fine art at California State University Channel Islands, released his selftitled debut record, touring the U.S. and Europe to get his music out to the people. In 2017, Harper went back into the studio and created Break the Cycle. Produced by Grammy Award–winning engineer Sheldon Gomberg, the album features introspective lyrics backed by an amalgamation of blues, folk, and rock music. Thoughtful, articulate, and easy to laugh, Harper is a delightful raconteur, and our recent phone conversation wended from topics such as how people consume art to playing for intoxicated crowds in dive bars. The following is a snippet of our conversation.

LAGUNA BLANCA STUDENT TO PERFORM AT

CARNEGIE HALL In February, Laguna Blanca junior Audrey Murphy will join the list of musicians who have performed at the prestigious Carnegie Hall. The 11th grader was selected to participate in the Honors Concert Choir, an annual event that is part of Carnegie’s High School Honors Performance series. “Being selected to the Honors Performance Series is something each Finalist should be extremely proud of accomplishing,” said program director Morgan Smith. “We processed more than 18,000 nominations this year and have selected nearly 700 of the most talented student performers from around the world.” Murphy and the other finalists will spend five days in New York City studying with world-renowned conductors, with a performance at Carnegie Hall taking place Sunday, February 10. —MD

SYMPHONY PAIRS WITH ANIMATION Few classical compositions have achieved the crossover success of Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Originally written for solo piano, this breathtaking experiment in descriptive music has reached the ears of millions through a series of orchestrations by artists ranging from Maurice Ravel to Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Inspired by the unexpected death of Mussorgsky’s close friend, the painter Viktor Hartmann, the work famously leads listeners on a journey through a gallery containing 10 distinct pictures. The musical passages describing the artworks are punctuated by a “promenade” motif, the melody of which has become one of the most recognizable tunes in history. This weekend, the Santa Barbara Symphony will team up with a group of talented artists from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts to present Pictures at an Exhibition as the accompaniment to a series of spectacular animations. Taking advantage of the Granada’s giant rear projection screen and state-of-the-art technology for synching live musicians to recorded moving images, the program features a dazzling array of recent developments in animation science. For fans of Disney’s Fantasia, or for anyone interested in the latest in multimedia expression, this should be a real treat. In addition, the symphony will perform two splendid works by Johannes Brahms — his Tragic Overture and the Double Concerto for Violin and Cello. The soloists on the latter will be two of the orchestra’s own principal musicians, the violinist Jessica Guideri and the cellist Trevor Handy. Whether you go for the chance to hear our hometown heroes or to let your mind run wild through an imaginary animated museum, this unusual concert is sure to transport you to places you’ve never been before. Performances are Saturday, January 19, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, January 20, at 3 p.m. See thesymphony .org or call 899-2222. — Charles Donelan

JON BATISTE

he sold-out crowd at Campbell Hall for this initial event of the Arts & Lectures winter season was happy and they knew it. How could you tell? They clapped their hands. Although there were plenty of other opportunities to confirm the positive effect of Jon Batiste’s recent solo show on Presented by UCSB the lucky people who got to see Arts & Lectures. At Campbell Hall, it, none was more direct than Fri., Jan. 11. how they responded to the blissinducing version of the classic children’s clap-along song that he conducted from the stage while playing the melody on his “harmonoboard.” Whether seated at a grand piano at center stage or roaming the aisles with his hybrid wind/keyboard, Batiste was profoundly at home — with his material, with the audience, and with himself. It’s no wonder that the soft-spoken, Juilliardtrained NOLA native has become such an integral part with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where he

serves as music director. He radiates perspective, grace, and magnanimity— magnanimity precisely those qualities so sorely lacking in the public figure that Colbert skewers nightly in his monologues. Between songs from his Grammy-nominated 2018 release Hollywood Africans, Batiste acknowledged the boost his role on Colbert’s show has given his career, and he also asked that we agree on this night to lay down the sword of satire and take up an attitude of acceptance and serenity. The result was something like the “love riots” that Batiste and his band, Stay Human, pop up to perform on the New York City subways. A loose and welcoming second-line-style promenade had students, professors, and everyone in between circling Campbell Hall in celebration. Batiste is clearly onto something. The trust he establishes through his presence complements his wide-ranging approach to music. So go ahead — clap your hands. — Charles Donelan

Last weekend, Christopher Pilafian and his Santa Barbara Dance Theater (SBDT) did just that in their quietly powerful presentation of Distance and Desire, surveying relationships and communication through a fresh and fertile lens. In “The Grey Area,” guest choreographer Josh Manculich held space for indecision and conflict using a trifecta of movement strikingly executed by SBDT dancers Natalie McCall, Nicole Powell, and Robin Wilson before clearing the stage for “Monologue,” where the fits and starts of expression and independence were depicted to rousing effect by a single dancer, a minimalist chair, and a guttural soundtrack of Norwegian phonetics. In Yusha-Marie Sorzano’s “To All Our Ends,” Lauren Serrano joined her fellow SBDT dancers in a quartet that took on an animism-like quality, injecting spiritual energy into abstract and animalistic forms. After the intermission, love and wistfulness enveloped the stage through seamless exchanges of weight and emotion in guest company Doug Elkins Choreography’s “O, round desire,” before the SBDT dancers returned (along with members of the SBDT apprentice company) for Pilafian’s “Chanson,” a hope-fueled study

O Bohemian Rhapsody

(134 mins.,

PG-13)

Telling the tale of a beloved rock-androll enigma, especially one so notoriously private, is a daunting task, but Bohemian Rhapsody tackles Freddie Mercury’s legendary story with flourish and fervor. Admittedly, the film adopts a convenient plot line ripe with meet-cutes and oversimplifications of Mercury’s complex relationship with his family and background. It struggles the most in addressing the often-discussed queerness of Mercury’s life, at times teetering toward bi-erasure and a less-than-delicate portrayal of AIDS. Rami Malek shines as the shy yet vivacious Queen frontman and is spellbindingly convincing during both Mercury’s loneliest hours and explosive moments on some of the world’s biggest stages. The rest of the casting deserves a grand tip of the hat as well. Bohemian Rhapsody, for all its narrative flaws, is an earnest tribute to the iconic rock band, and remains a spectacle of sight and sound for music, Mercury, and movie fans alike. (JK) Metro 4 A Dog’s Way Home (96 mins., PG) Author W. Bruce Cameron turns screenwriter for this family-friendly story about a dog who treks 400 miles to be reunited with her owner. Ashley Judd, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Edward James Olmos star. Fairview/Fiesta 5

The Favourite (120 mins., R) Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz star in this historical dark comedy/ drama set during the reign of England’s Queen Anne in the early 18th century. A tangled love triangle emerges between Anne (Colman), Abigail Hill (Stone), and Sarah Churchill (Weisz) that leads to treachery and betrayal.

O Green Book

(130 mins., PG-13)

Green Book is an uncommonly welltold tale of bodyguard Tony Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) and classically trained pianist Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), thrown together on a concert tour through the Deep South in 1962. Dr. Donald Shirley was a child prodigy, Russian-trained, and imbued with a dignity that suffered under the shortening of his name to “Don” by his record label. The film’s greatest transformation comes from Mortensen, who put on 25 pounds before the film began and added another 20 while playing Tony Vallelonga, a k a Tony Lip. His son Nick Vallelonga wrote the script, holding off until after Don Shirley had died, as requested. It’s a restraint that Green Book plays with so well that the usually blasé Santa Barbara film audience couldn’t help but erupt with applause at film’s end. (JY)

A FILM BY KORE-EDA HIROKAZU

Roma Miranda, Ben Whishaw, and Emily Mortimer also star. Arlington/Camino Real

Mary Queen of Scots (125 mins., R) Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie star as cousins Mary, Queen of Scots, and Queen Elizabeth I, respectively, in this historical fiction about 1569’s Rising of the North, in which northern Catholic nobles unsuccessfully attempt to depose the Protestant Elizabeth and replace her with Catholic Mary. The Hitchcock The Mule (116 mins., R) Clint Eastwood directs and stars in this crime drama about an aged horticulturist and Korean War vet who is arrested for transporting $3 million in cocaine for a Mexican cartel. Based on Sam Dolnick’s New York Times piece “The Sinaloa Cartel’s 90-Year-Old Drug Mule,” the film also stars Bradley Cooper, Dianne Wiest, and Andy Garcia. Paseo Nuevo

On the Basis of Sex (120 mins., PG-13) Mimi Leder (Deep Impact, Pay It Forward) helms this biopic that explores Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life and early Supreme Court justice cases. Felicity Jones, Armie Hammer, and Justin Theroux star. Fairview/Paseo Nuevo Ralph Breaks the Internet (112 mins., PG)

In this sequel to 2012’s Wreck-It Ralph, six years have passed and the aging steering wheel controller on the Sugar Rush game console has broken. The machine is unplugged, and it’s up to Ralph and Vanellope von Schweetz to find a replacement steering wheel on the internet before the game is shut down. Fiesta 5

Replicas (107 mins., PG-13) Keanu Reeves stars as William Foster, a neuroscientist specializing in synthetic biology, in this sci-fi thriller. His experiments go awry, however, when one of his family members dies in a car accident and he tries to bring them back to life.

O Roma

(135 mins., R)

Alfonso Cuaron has painted a masterpiece. The rightfully acclaimed Mexican director, behind Y Tu Mama Tambien, Children of Men, and Gravity, has gone deeper and more personal with Roma, a profoundly artistic achievement and a poignant tale drawn from his own childhood in 1970s Mexico City. Shot in luminous black-and-white and with echoes of lyrical Fellini films and neorealism, Cuaron has given the world a rare glimpse into Mexican life, with special compassion for the beloved indigenous protagonist, Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), and women’s issues. (JW) Rivera

O Shopliffters

(121 mins., PG-13)

Winner of this year’s Palm d’Or award at Cannes, this remarkable film by Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda is a deft and delicately-rendered “family saga film” of a very different sort. Kore-eda has created a humanistic, compassionate and complex window on a cobbled-together but loving family unit living in poverty in Tokyo, with borrowed children saved from squalid lives, and taught the art of shoplifting, or forced to make money in a chaste strip club. Even so, an underpinning of love complicates both the characters’ relationships and our own acceptance of the questionable faux family tapestry. Touches of neo-realism (though in a film made with care and polish) and picaresque slices of life intersperse with heart-warming vignettes, as well as harsh reality checks and moral comeuppances. Shoplifters is emotional powerful, in quiet, unexpected ways. (JW) Rivera

Spider-Man: Into the SpiderVerse (117 mins., PG) Marvel Comics presents this computeranimated film in which Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) becomes Spider-Man and crosses paths with his counterparts from other dimensions in order to stop a threat to reality.

The Upside (125 mins., PG-13) Bryan Cranston, Kevin Hart, and Nicole Kidman star in this remake of the 2011 French film The Intouchables, which is based on the life of wealthy businessman Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, who became a quadriplegic following a paragliding accident.

O Vice

ALFONSO CUARÓN

(132 mins., R)

Adam McKay’s Vice may be the most pornographic film of the year that has nothing to do with sex. One part biopic of former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney (Christian Bale), one part satire of the past half century of American politics, Vice contains plenty of moments where one might be inclined to look away (and perhaps can’t). The film sutures an array of disturbing content, including footage from the 9/11 attacks, torture scenes from the “War on Terror,” and a lingering vision of an anesthetized Dick Cheney mid-heart transplant. The VP’s cold, dead heart lies on a metal slab; his chest cavity is empty, awaiting a fresh occupant. Even for those who might find this negative portrait of Cheney and his politics cathartic, watching Vice feels like vice indeed. Part of this emerges from Christian Bale’s convincing performance as Cheney. Bale’s portrayal doesn’t exactly humanize the shadowy, “almost a ghost” VP. Rather, it disturbingly depicts how the head-hanging bureaucrat could lovingly support his lesbian daughter after her coming-out without ceasing to be a partisan reptile. Other cast members provide equally stunning renderings: including Steve Carell as Donald Rumsfeld and Amy Adams as Lynne Cheney. Sam Rockwell’s portrayal of George W. Bush as a reformed frat boy is pure pleasure, and maybe even a bipartisan one. Vice is intense, but it ultimately passes the litmus test of compelling biographical film: One walks out of the theater wanting to confirm whether multiple scenes were actual news footage.

The Foresters will fete two of their former players (major leaguer Jeff McNeil and Aaron Gordnier), as well as front-office whiz Pat Burns, during their annual Hall of Fame celebration beginning at 5 p.m. at the Carriage Museum.

hen the sun broke through the clouds over Montecito, Jim Sobieszczyk said, “I can feel his presence.” He was talking about Dave Thoreson, the namesake of the Thoreson 30-Minute Decathlon, which had eight athletes rushing through 10 events (100 meters, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400 meters, 110 hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, 1500 meters) at the Westmont College track last Saturday morning. They had 30 minutes to go from the first event to the last, as ordained by Thoreson when he invented the competition in 1971. The former Westmont All-American was a legendary innovator throughout his career in athletics and as a PE teacher at La Colina Junior High. He died last October in Lynchburg, Virginia. “His death really affected me,” said Sobieszczyk, who traveled from Bend, Oregon, to join five generations of multi-eventers who spent their young adult lives in Santa Barbara, grinding away at one of the most dif difficult and least remunerative sporting endeavors. Unable to make the trip was Bill Toomey, the only Santa Barbara–based decathlete to make the Olympic podium. He was the gold medal winner at the 1968 Mexico City Games. He lives in North Lake Tahoe and celebrated his 80th birthday last Thursday. Toomey, Thoreson, and several others shared an Isla Vista apartment while they trained at UCSB, where the late Sam Adams, a decathlete himself, was track-and-field coach. “Dave kept us laughing,” Toomey said. He recalled one of Thoreson’s pranks when they competed at the Bislet Bislettt Games in Oslo: “Dave told everybody he was Bill Toomey. They interviewed him, and the papers said that Bill Toomey was here looking for a Norwegian bride.” Other stories were told Saturday: • Thoreson’s best event was the high jump — he cleared 611 — and he would probably have gotten involved in today’s extreme sports. He would run up walls to reach secondstory patios. Once he made such a leap to grab a steak off a grill, took a bite, and returned it, saying, “It needs three more minutes.” • To run faster, he tied himself to the back bumper of a car driven by Paul Herman, another Westmont athlete who placed fourth in the 1964 Olympics decathlon.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In 1917, leaders of the Christian sect Jeho-

vah’s Witnesses prophesied that all earthly governments would soon disappear and Christianity would perish. In 1924, they predicted that the ancient Hebrew prophet Moses would be resurrected and speak to people everywhere over the radio. In 1938, they advised their followers not to get married or have children, because the end of civilization was nigh. In 1974, they said there was only a “short time remaining before the wicked world’s end.” I bring these failed predictions to your attention, Aries, so as to get you in the mood for my prediction, which is: All prophecies that have been made about your life up until now are as wrong as the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ visions. In 2019, your life will be bracingly free of old ideas about who you are and who you’re supposed to be. You will have unprecedented opportunities to prove that your future is wide open.

in the duel. He decided upon two sausages. His sausage would be cooked; Bismarck’s sausage would be crammed with parasitic roundworms. It was a brilliant stratagem. The proposition spooked Bismarck, who backed down from the duel. Keep this story in mind if you’re challenged to an argument, dispute, or conflict in the coming days. It’s best to figure out a tricky or amusing way to avoid it altogether.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): An imaginative 27-year-old man with

the pseudonym Thewildandcrazyoli decided he was getting too old to keep his imaginary friend in his life. So he took out an ad on eBay, offering to sell that longtime invisible ally, whose name was Jon Malipieman. Soon his old buddy was dispatched to the highest bidder for $3,000. Please don’t attempt anything like that in the coming weeks, Cancerian. You need more friends, not fewer — both of the imaginary and non-imaginary variety. Now is a ripe time to expand your network of compatriots.

(Apr. 20-May 20): Movie critic Roger Ebert defined the term

“idiot plot” as “any film plot containing problems that would be solved instantly if all of the characters were not idiots.” I bring this to your attention because I suspect there has been a storyline affecting you that in some ways fits that description. Fortunately, any temptation you might have had to go along with the delusions of other people will soon fade. I expect that as a result, you will catalyze a surge of creative problem-solving. The idiot plot will transform into a much smarter plot.

GEMINI

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In December 1981, novice Leo filmmaker

James Cameron got sick, fell asleep, and had a disturbing dream. He saw a truncated robot armed with kitchen knives crawling away from an explosion. This nightmare ultimately turned out to be a godsend for Cameron. It inspired him to write the script for the 1984 film The Terminator, a successful creation that launched him on the road to fame and fortune. I’m expecting a comparable development in your near future, Leo. An initially weird or difficult event will actually be a stroke of luck.

(May 21-June 20): In 1865, Prussia’s political leader, Otto von

Bismarck, got angry when an adversary, Rudolf Virchow, suggested cuts to the proposed military budget. Bismarck challenged Virchow to a duel. Virchow didn’t want to fight, so he came up with a clever plan. As the challenged party, he was authorized to choose the weapons to be used

phenomenon in the coming weeks. I’m betting you will achieve a dramatic new liberation: You’ll be freer than ever before from the power of people’s opinions to inhibit your behavior or make you self-conscious.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What North American community is

farthest north? It’s an Alaskan city that used to be called Barrow, named after a British admiral. But in 2016, local residents voted to reinstate the name that the indigenous Iñupiat people had once used for the place: Utqiaġvik. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that in the coming weeks, you take inspiration from their decision, Libra. Return to your roots. Pay homage to your sources. Restore and revive the spirit of your original influences.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Psychologists define the Spotlight Effect

as our tendency to imagine that other people are acutely attuned to every little nuance of our behavior and appearance. The truth is that they’re not, of course. Most everyone is primarily occupied with the welter of thoughts buzzing around inside his or her own head. The good news, Virgo, is that you are well set up to capitalize on this

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Writing at The Pudding, pop culture

commentator Colin Morris reveals the conclusions he drew after analyzing 15,000 pop songs. First, the lyrics of today’s tunes have significantly more repetitiveness than the lyrics of songs in the 1960s. Second, the most popular songs, both then and now, have more repetitive lyrics than the average song. Why? Morris speculates that repetitive songs are catchier. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you Capricorns to be as unrepetitive as possible in the songs you sing, the messages you communicate, the moves you make, and the ideas you articulate. In the coming weeks, put a premium on originality, unpredictability, complexity, and novelty.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In May 1927, Aquarian aviator Charles

SCORPIO lation of 900, so it doesn’t require a complicated political structure to manage its needs. Still, it made a bold statement by electing a cat as its mayor for 15 years. Stubbs, a part-Manx, won his first campaign as a write-in candidate, and his policies were so benign — no new taxes, no repressive laws — that he kept getting reelected. What might be the equivalent of having a cat as your supreme leader for a while, Scorpio? From an astrological perspective, now would be a favorable time to implement that arrangement. This phase of your cycle calls for relaxed fun and amused mellowness and laissez-faire jauntiness.

Lindbergh made a pioneering flight in his one-engine plane from New York to Paris. He became instantly famous. Years later, Lindbergh testified that partway through his epic journey, he was visited by a host of odd, vaporous beings who suddenly appeared in his small cabin. They spoke with him, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of navigation and airplane technology. Lindbergh’s spirits were buoyed. His concentration, which had been flagging, revived. He was grateful for their unexpected support. I foresee a comparable kind of assistance becoming available to you sometime soon, Aquarius. Don’t waste any time being skeptical about it; just welcome it.

makes them strong. As they respond to the pressure of breezes and gusts, they generate a hardier kind of wood called reaction wood. Without the assistance of the wind’s stress, trees’ internal structure would be weak, and they might topple over as they grew larger. I’m pleased to report that you’re due to receive the benefits of a phenomenon that’s metaphorically equivalent to a brisk wind. Exult in this brisk but low-stress opportunity to toughen yourself up!

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): More than four centuries ago, a Piscean samurai named Honda Tadakatsu became a leading general in the Japanese army. In the course of his military career, he fought in more than a hundred battles. Yet he never endured a major wound and was never beaten by another samurai. I propose we make him your inspirational role model for the coming weeks. As you navigate your way through interesting challenges, I believe that like him, you’ll lead a charmed life. No wounds. No traumas. Just a whole lot of educational adventures.
