What do you like to do outside the office? When I’m home, I like to spend my time cooking and exploring Lompoc and Santa Ynez Valley with my daughter. We just moved to the North County from Santa Barbara, and there is so much more to see and do than I expected! What are you reading these days? One of the best parts of being a new mom is that I get to rediscover all my favorite children’s books with Olivia. Right now, I am reading a few pages of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to her each night. For myself, the books on my nightstand are: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo; The Accidental Life by Terry McDonell; and The Labyrinth of the Spirits by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, who is one of my favorite authors.

On Sunday, Santa Barbarans had a chance to join the ranks of true immortality: breaking a Guinness World Record. All they had to do was walk backward for six and a half blocks on State Street. More than a thousand people participated in the attempt on Sunday — 1,057 people, to be exact. The current record stands at 1,107 people. Victory was close, but Santa Barbara was ultimately unsuccessful. Watch the recap at independent.com/ backward.

Number of Franciscan Priests Accused of Abuse Grows by Nine
GERALD CHUMIK

by Tyler Hayden
or the first time publicly, the Franciscan Friars of the Province of St. Barbara have identified 50 priests accused of sexually abusing children in its ministries since 1950. More than half—26—were assigned to St. Anthony’s Seminary or Old Mission Santa Barbara at some point in their careers, often after they’d been accused of molestation in another ministry, then reassigned to the Santa Barbara area. While many of those 26 priests were previously known to attorneys, law enforcement, and victim advocates, nine names had never before been reported, according to attorney Tim Hale, who won a landmark case against the Franciscans in 2006 and has closely followed subsequent cases, as well as recent disclosures by the Catholic Church. All nine priests have died. Their names and the locations and dates of their Santa Barbara postings are as follows:

Felix “Raymond” Calonge—St. Anthony’s Seminary, 1965 Felipe Baldonado—Multiple CA missions (Oakland, Stockton, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and San Francisco), 1953-1964 Father David Gaa, the Province of St. Barbara’s leader, issued a statement alongside the full list, which was quietly posted on the order’s website late last Friday. “The list is being published as part of our continuous commitment to transparency and accountability,” he wrote. “We are determined to demonstrate, through this action, that we are committed to helping survivors and their families heal.” Hale, among others, contends the release is actually a self-serving strategy by the Franciscans to preemptively shield the order from potential criminal liability after a Pennsylvania Grand Jury published a searing report against the Catholic Church last August. It was the most expansive investigation yet by a U.S. government agency of abuse within the organization. “Every Roman Catholic diocese around the country fears that Grand Jury report and what it might mean for them,” said Hale. Last December, in a similar fashion to the Franciscans, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Catholic Church’s western Jesuit province self-published a list of 200 clergymen accused of child molestation, 12 of whom held lengthy postings in Santa Barbara dating back to the 1950s. MEN OF GOD? Pictured are a dozen of the priests previously known as alleged molesters.
Four days after 80-125 gallons of crude were released during the plugging of oil wells at Pier 421 in Goleta, the Unified Command declared its cleanup operation of oiled kelp and debris concluded. Altogether, 15 birds were collected by the Oiled Wildlife Care Network since the 5/30 spill. Nine were found dead, and the condition of the six birds found alive is unknown, said Fish & Wildlife spokesperson Eric Laughlin. The Coal Oil Point nesting site for the endangered snowy plover remained unaffected, Laughlin said.

Invoca opened its shiny new State Street headquarters on Monday during a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Santa Barbara mayor Cathy Murillo. “We’re excited to watch their company expand as they bring good-paying jobs that benefit our local economy overall,” she said beforehand.

As the Coalition Against Gun Violence works to coordinate the 5th Annual Anonymous Gun Buyback, set for 6/15 from 8 a.m. to noon at Earl Warren Showgrounds, organizers are reaching out to the community for additional funds. “Just 10 people donating $10 will remove one gun from circulation and possibly save more than one life,” wrote organizer Toni Wellen. To donate, go to sbcoalition.org. The District Attorney’s Office charged 27-yearold Lompoc resident Jose Ramirez on 5/29 with the alleged murder of his 26-day-old daughter. Lompoc police arrested Ramirez on 5/24 after an investigation found that his daughter died from blunt force trauma, according to the Lompoc Police Department. Police interviews with the child’s parents and family members revealed that Ramirez was alone with the child at the time of the injury. Ramirez, a registered sex offender in the county, is being held at S.B. County Jail, and his bail is currently set at $4 million. His arraignment hearing will be at Lompoc Superior Court on 6/11. The U.S. Department of Justice announced Monday that Montecito resident Efstratios “Elias” Argyropoulos, 72, pleaded guilty to defrauding investors who’d transferred money to him to purchase Facebook and Twitter shares during the companies’ initial public offerings. Instead of buying the shares, Argyropoulos admitted to spending the funds on day-trading stocks and personal expenses, such as landscaping, utilities, and legal bills from an unrelated case. Authorities estimate investors’ losses totaled nearly $1.5 million. Argyropoulos faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.

states are affected, which is alarming as the disease was considered eliminated in 2000. California reports 47 cases associated with international travel; 10 are in Los Angeles County, as of May 29. Ruiz said it can take 8-12 days before measles symptoms manifest; they are usually fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, or conjunctivitis. A few days after that is when the distinguishing rash appears, generally in the facial area first and then the body. For prevention, Ruiz advised knowing your vaccination history. If you aren’t sure, check with your doctor, she said. The Health Officer for Public Health, Dr. Henning Ansorg, repeated her advice, saying, “We highly encourage every person to know their measles vaccination status by checking in with their health care providers. Measles is a highly contagious virus that spreads easily by air and through direct contact with someone who is infected. The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is safe and highly effective in protecting individuals from con—Jean Yamamura tracting measles.”

was located on the call to the Milpas Street vicinity. On Tuesday afternoon, police dispatchers began to receive several calls from an apartment complex at 13 South Soledad Street. The first officers to respond took a man into custody amid what Wagner described as a “chaotic” situation. Police then found a woman dead inside their apartment. The incident was under investigation at press time, and Wagner was unable to give the deceased’s identity, say what had caused her death, or provide the name of the man taken into custody. The Soledad apartments are a city Housing Authority complex. “It’s tragic when something like this happens,” said city Housing Authority director Rob Fredericks, adding that counseling services were being offered to the families who witnessed the incident. —Indy Staff

HEATING UP: At issue at Tuesday’s board meeting was a proposed resolution in support of the Green New Deal as well as Supervisor Peter Adam’s (right) charges that Supervisor Joan Hartmann (left) compared him to a Nazi two weeks ago for being a vocal denier of climate change.
Green New Deal Sparks Gaseous Debate
Expires 7/15
Supervisor Adam Complains He Was Compared to Nazis for Doubting Climate Change by Nick Welsh upervisorial tempers flared during a tense but strangely subdued showdown over the Green New Deal this Tuesday with Supervisor Peter Adam—an avowed doubter when it comes to climate change —charging that Supervisor Joan Hartmann had compared him to a Nazi for expressing his opinion. In a lengthy speech, Adam said Hartmann sought to bully and shame him during a previous board discussion about climate change held two weeks ago because she believes in climate change and he does not. “Mrs. Hartmann compared me to a Nazi,” Adam said. “Nazis were real,” he added. “Climate change — despite all the claims that the science is settled — is not.” Hartmann did not address Adam’s charges at all during this Tuesday’s board discussion. In a brief interview afterward, she said simply, “Peter is very emotional where oil is concerned.” In the past two weeks, Hartmann said she and Adam have worked collegially together and the issue he raised this week did not come up. On May 21, Hartmann had recounted her days taking college courses in Germany during the 1970s and how many young Germans were agonizing over their parents’ participation with the Third Reich. During those remarks, Hartmann read a short poem in which the punch line was, “They ask me in duress, what did you do when the planet was plundered … what did you do, once you knew?” None of her remarks were directed at Adam. But in that meeting, Adam was characteristically outspoken about his doubts regarding climate change. Humans were living longer, he said, adding, “There’s never been a better time to be a human.” This week, Adam, detailed how many times environmental “Chicken Littles” had predicted the end was nigh only to be proved

incorrect. In 1985, Adam said, the experts insisted air pollution would reduce solar exposure by 50 percent, ushering in a new ice age. As to Hartmann’s remarks, he said, “I have never felt so violently attacked as I did on May 21.” He added, “This was as unreasonably as I’ve been treated in my six years, and it was an effort to shame me.” The science, he insisted, is not settled. “I will not lower my eyes, I will not shut up, and I will not save it for another day,” he said. “We are not demons. We are not Nazis. We are your neighbors. We are your friends.” As outspoken as Adam—the board’s most undiluted conservative—has been during his political tenure, he can be surprisingly thin-

skinned. Hartmann, who represents the 3rd District, tends to be strikingly soft-spoken in her delivery but very definite in her environmental beliefs. Das Williams, the supervisor most prone to deliver environmental sermons, defended Hartmann, stating, “She is the farthest from a bully of any elected official I have ever met.” At issue before the supervisors was a proposed resolution in support of the Green New Deal, which among other things calls for a carbon-free future by the year 2030. Resolutions are largely ceremonial gestures, but with three major onshore oil projects now slated for Cat Canyon, the battle lines over anything remotely petrochemical have intensified.

However, the total number of walkers who showed up to Sunday’s event, 1,057, was not enough to beat the record, which was set in India in 2014 by 1,107 backward walkers.

on life support. Lee, an arborist who was set to marry his fiancée on 6/1, has recently come out of his coma but is in need of ongoing, likely lifelong medical care. Lee’s cousin, Alyssa Werner, has organized a GoFundMe fundraising page to help cover Lee’s medical expenses. “All of the outpouring of support and love from the community has been overwhelming,” Smith said. On 5/23, city police officers and firefighters used Narcan, an overdose-reversal nasal spray, to save the life of a man on the 500 block of West Alamar Avenue, the Police Department reported. The first officer to arrive at the scene removed the unconscious man from the vehicle with the help of a bystander and discovered he was without a pulse and not breathing. When a second officer arrived, the two administered CPR, and a faint pulse returned and the man began labored breathing. Officers continued providing emergency medical aid until firefighters arrived and administered Narcan, which revived the victim from an apparent overdose.

Cops, Case Workers Talk Down Mentally Ill Gunman
T
he Santa Barbara Sheriff ’s Office’s newly formed Crisis Intervention Co-Response Team, which pairs mentalhealth case workers with deputies in the field, successfully de-escalated a tense standoff in the Mission Canyon area that threatened to turn violent. Michael Helman, a 56-year-old Santa Barbara man with a history of mental illness and criminal behavior, had allegedly broken into his family’s home on May 22 and refused to leave. “He had access to firearms in the house and threatened to harm family members or law enforcement personnel if they tried to remove him,” said Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kelly Hoover. As a precaution, authorities evacuated nearby homes, but soon after, the Co-Response Team was able to talk Helman down. He was arrested without further incident. Just 10 days earlier, on May 12, Helman was reportedly involved in a similarly combustible situation. His landlord had called 9-1-1 to report that Helman was banging on her bedroom door and making threatening statements. “The victim expressed that
she did not feel safe to leave her locked bedroom,” Hoover said. Deputies and mentalhealth workers responded and determined Helman was experiencing a mental-health crisis. He was transported to the hospital, but Hoover would not say if or how he was treated, citing privacy laws. Helman is being held in County Jail on charges stemming from both incidents. His bail is set at $75,000, and “He will be receiving services as determined necessary for his individualized needs,” Hoover said. Back in 2010, Helman was arrested for driving nude through the San Roque neighborhood and periodically exiting his car to masturbate. He led police on a high-speed chase and evaded capture for some time, publicly masturbating again, this time near a preschool, before he crashed and was arrested. Helman was sentenced to nine years in prison, based partially on his criminal history that included convictions for drugs, theft, and battery. In 2007, he did a year in jail for threatening to kill a Ventura —Tyler Hayden County prosecutor.

tarting next week, a total of 6,876 graduate and undergraduate students will make their way across a stage in one of nine different ceremonies to shake Chancellor Henry T. Yang’s hand and to collect their degrees. Almost half of undergraduates at UC Santa Barbara, 43 percent, will be the first in their families to achieve the distinction. According to the University of California, 80 percent of UC’s low-income, first-generation students graduate within six years, compared to 11 percent nationally. In part because of the UC’s high percentage of low-income and first-generation graduates and their relatively low debt — national undergraduate student debt average is $33,000 compared to UCSB’s average of $21,000 — all nine UC campuses have placed in Washington Monthly’s top 100 colleges. The UCs have long been recognized as social ladders for first-generation and historically marginalized students. UC Santa Barbara has been further recognized and placed in the top five of the U.S. News & World Report’s “Top 30 Public National Universities.” UC Santa Barbara’s class of 2019 provides a snapshot of the diversity on campus. The majority of students in the 2019 class, 88 percent, are California residents. Four percent of graduates are from out of state, and 8 percent are international. A quarter of the graduating class are Latinx, 34 percent are white, and 23 percent are Asian/Pacific Islander. Black students are still underrepresented, making up only 4 percent of undergraduates at commencement. UCSB graduates are expected to earn $39,700 annually two years after graduating.

Bautista shared figures from a 10-year study by Wayne P. Thomas and Virginia P. Collier illustrating that after elementary school, dual-language students perform significantly better than their ESL peers who did not receive dual-language instruction. However, Bautista did not present any data tracking Adelante students beyond elementary school. Adelante is largely made up of Latinx students, 84 percent, followed by 15 percent white students. About half of students at Adelante, 46 percent, are English learners. While all students performed poorly on the English language arts assessment, English learners performed the worst, falling into the lowest performance category available on the California School Dashboard scale. Hispanic students performed in the second lowest out of the five rankings. No ranking was provided for white students due to their relatively small population. —Blanca Garcia

anta Barbara resident Mallory Harcourt, 31, filed a lawsuit May 29 against Tesla, alleging a potentially deadly design flaw in the electric car company’s 2018 Model X. Represented by Orange County law firm Gokal Law Group, Harcourt claims that on December 27, 2018, she’d parked her Tesla SUV in her driveway with the motor turned off. She unbuckled her 2-year-old son from his car seat, who followed a few steps behind her as she carried groceries toward the garage. Suddenly, the lawsuit states, Harcourt’s son ran back to the car, got it in gear from the driver’s seat, and accelerated toward Harcourt, who was eight months pregnant at the time, pinning her against the back wall of the garage. The impact cracked her pelvis, broke her leg, and sent her into early labor, causing her to deliver her baby daughter a month prematurely. Harcourt’s attorney, Alison Gokal, claimed the vehicle doesn’t have the proper safety controls to ensure it’s not unintentionally operated and sent letters to Tesla
demanding a formal apology and asking the company to improve the Model X’s startand-drive functionality. Tesla replied that Harcourt’s vehicle “responded to the operator’s inputs, as designed—albeit, in this case, some of those inputs were reportedly coming from your client’s young son.” Tesla explained its vehicles continuously record and transmit operational and diagnostic data to the company’s servers and that the data from Harcourt’s Model X shows its motor was not turned off and that Harcourt’s toddler first pressed the brake pedal and then shifted the gear selector to drive. “We regret that this incident happened,” Tesla stated, “however, we have not found any other instance of this sequence of events occurring … and we do not believe it is reasonably foreseeable.” While Santa Barbara police completed a report on the incident soon after it occurred, Gokal said she’s contacting the National Transportation Safety Board and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for further investigation. —Tyler Hayden
NEWS of the WEEK CONT’D CONT’D FROM P.9
Gaa said the heightened public awareness of criminal activity within his order “came in the early 1990s from St. Anthony’s, our minor seminary in Santa Barbara. Since those early days, the friars have worked to help with the healing process for those who were abused and for the protection of children.” The order currently oversees 136 priests in ministries throughout California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington state. It’s headquartered in Oakland. The order, which didn’t return calls for comment, deemed an allegation credible if there was “a preponderance of evidence that the allegation [was] more likely true than not” after an internal investigation, according to its website. Priests who’d been convicted in court or admitted to the crimes were also named. More than 120 victims were identified, the friars said. In many instances, they claimed, the accusations were made several years or decades after the alleged abuse occurred, oftentimes after the priest had died. The list, now posted on independent .com, illuminates when certain priests were accused of molesting minors and when they were placed in Santa Barbara. Gerald Chumik, for instance, was assigned to the Santa Barbara mission in 2003 despite being accused in 1990 of forcing a boy to perform oral sex on him. The Franciscans admitted to first receiving a report of Gus Krumm’s misconduct in 1980, yet they allowed him to continue serving in Santa Barbara until 1982, and again from 1985-88. Of the 50 total named priests, only four are still alive. Three of them — Chumik, Stephen Kain, and Josef Prochnow—held positions in Santa Barbara. Kain was named in a 2004 lawsuit for assaulting at least one student while working at St. Anthony’s Seminary in the mid-1980s. He was named again in Los Altos in 2001. Prochnow is accused of abusing minors at St. Anthony’s Seminary from 1971-1978. All three, the order claims, now live in “elder care facilities” under what it calls a Safety Plan, a sort of supervised probation for offending priests administered by the order’s internal Review Board. The order has not said where these facilities are located. Hale said he has reason to believe at least one of them is located in a residential California neighborhood “with families nearby who have no way of knowing who these
men are or the risk they pose to children.” Hale said, “The only reason the Franciscans can get away with this is because they never reported the perpetrators to law enforcement, or if they did, it was long after the criminal statute of limitations had expired.” As a result, he said, the men escaped prosecution and having to register as sex offenders. The description of an “elder care facility” may also be misleading, Hale said. “It creates the false impression that these men are in failing health and perhaps less of a threat.” But just last month, he learned, Prochnow was ministering across the street from a school. “I’d love to see the state attorney general step in and look at whether the Franciscans breached their duties as mandatory reporters,” Hale said. “It may be too late, but it’s worth an investigation.”

Hale said while the new names will help the public better understand the sheer scope of the abuse perpetrated by the Franciscans, it likely omits any information that could open them to legal liability. “This is the Franciscans protecting their own,” he said. “Their feet are being held to the fire, and that’s the only reason they’re releasing this information. But I’m confident this is not the complete story.” Now by his count, Hale said, “37 Franciscan predators have been assigned, in residence, or performed their ministry on a recurring basis in Santa Barbara.” The Franciscans dispute that number, he said. n

Green New Deal
CONT’D FROM P.11
Supervisor Adam not only railed against climate change—calling it a pretext by which citizens will be frightened into giving up its rights—but rallied the troops. Oil workers showed up to testify on behalf of an industry that produced clean energy safely and provided jobs for which college degrees are not necessary that pay $102,000 a year. A cadre of younger—as well as older—environmental activists showed up and hammered away at the mass extinctions now imminently predicted as a result of climate change. Supervisor Hartmann — who, along with
Supervisor Williams, sponsored the resolution—was focused on her message and not distracted by Adam’s complaints. The Pentagon, she noted, was making plans to relocate no less than two-thirds of all military bases in response to climate change. Even oil companies, like Exxon, Chevron, and BP, she said, took climate change seriously. Republican elected officials avoided the issue completely in 2016, she added, but many are acknowledging it now. “The Green New Deal is already performing,” she stated. “It’s sparkn ing a national conversation.”

Letting Dogs Out of Burning Barn
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE: What makes the geography of the gluteus maximus so mystifying that so many of us can’t find ours with both hands even in broad daylight? Watching the Santa Barbara City Council in its fren-
zied state of inaction yesterday, I witnessed no fewer than 14 hands scrambling blindly to locate their respective posteriors, but all coming up tragically short. The issue before them, as almost always, was housing affordability. And for once, the specific action they were being asked to take was agonizingly simple. It was also about six years overdue and would, in fact, genuinely help make a bad situation somewhat better. But with a rare combination of incompetence, incoherence, and—I suspect— a dash of bad faith, our councilmembers managed to screw things up, demonstrating that in their totality they’re considerably less than the sum of their parts. On the table was a modest proposal to ensure that 10 percent of new rental housing units built with the help of certain City Hall subsidies will be set aside for moderate-income tenants at prices they can actually afford. In the deliberately opaque lingo
favored by urban planner types, this set-aside is known as “inclusionary housing.” It was a very belated, after-the-fact fix on the city’s notoriously successful—and even more incomprehensibly named— Average Unit-Size Density (AUD) housing program. Hatched in 2011 and crafted into reality in 2013,
the theory was that by allowing developers to build nearly three times as many rental units as existing zoning otherwise allowed—and also by requiring only half as many parking spaces —perhaps they (the developers) could be “bribed” (they prefer the term “incentivized”) into building rental housing. Such extreme measures were deemed necessary because in the 50 years prior, private developers had seen fit to build absolutely zero units of rental housing. The buzzword at the time was “Affordability by Design,” which we quickly learned was magical thinking. Developers charged whatever the market would bear, and the market bore a lot. At one
especially infamous project, two-bedroom units went for $3,500 a month. That’s “affordable” only to households making $126,000 a year, not to households maxing out at $75,000, which defines the so-called “missing middle.” A lot of people hate the AUD program and for real reasons. They’re often out of scale with their neighborhoods; tenants in “underparked” projects tend to park their cars on city streets already overparked. Developers laugh all the way to the bank thanks to City Hall subsidies, and the tenants “helped” by all this, it turns out, make enough that they need no such help. I ran into a couple of friends the other day who caustically pointed out the AUD next door in which a two-bedroom, two-bath unit first listed at $4,300 a month. You need to make $130,000 a year to afford that. Under what design could such rents be
deemed affordable? Magical thinking. The fix is simple and should have been quick: require that 10 percent of all AUD units be set aside at below-market rents. I say 10 percent because the economic consultants hired by City Hall concluded developers could still make an attractive profit — 17 percent — with such an exaction if they sell the property. At 15 percent, however, they found the economics got dicey and could strangle the program. Inevitably, some developers squawked, but they’ll squawk about anything. It’s worth noting that the investors who own the real estate under Sears said they’d happily abide by a 10 percent set-aside if they were allowed to build 500 units of rental housing — or maybe more—at La Cumbre Plaza. Here’s the deal: We need the AUD program because we need the rental housing. But the inclusionary rule is the spoonful of sugar necessary to make that medicine go down.
In the three years the council has been studying the matter, 230 units of rental housing have been produced, and another 850 have lined up on the drawing boards. Were the 10 percent requirement imposed on all these, that would be 100 units — real and potential — of affordably priced rental housing. The AUD program —always deemed experimental—was written to expire about a year from now. Many in Santa Barbara’s always vibrant “Get off My Yard” movement would be popping champagne corks should that happen. But what the zoning allows is more mondo grande
condos for the rich, the super rich, and the filthy rich. That’s what the market was building before. That’s what it would build again. With this in mind, Councilmember Eric Friedman moved to approve the 10 percent solution. It appeared the votes were there. But then, Councilmember Jason Dominguez —now rumored to be running for five different offices—pushed for 15 percent in the form of a substitute motion. The conventional wisdom, to which I subscribe, is that 15 percent is the kiss of death, politically and economically. Dominguez has always hated the AUD program, so his move made sense. But other councilmembers—like Oscar Gutierrez, Kristen Sneddon, and Meagan Harmon —who claim to support the program should have known better. Gutierrez, in fact, has repeatedly pushed for 25 percent even after being repeatedly informed that the State of California —desperate to get housing built—would likely challenge it. More magical thinking? Here’s a key wrinkle. Under the rules of the game, the council needs four votes just to get the item on the table; but it needs a five-vote super-majority to get anything passed. Last night, the council voted to put something on the table for which five votes clearly did not exist. And even if they magically materialize, the 15 percent requirement will effectively kill a program that could do a lot of good if just tweaked a little. After last night, I can’t find my ass anymore either. — Nick Welsh

Stop Gun Violence
W
e parents prefer not to think about it. It’s unthinkable yet entirely within the realm of possibility. Innocent children are shot all the time in the United States. Innocent adults are too. In 2019 alone, 40,000 people died of gunshot wounds in the U.S. Mass shootings at schools and bars and churches and concerts are routine enough that they have lost their impact on our collective psyche. We can put them out of mind in a matter of days. That’s unhealthy. Contrast that with the March mosque shootings in New Zealand. Rather than put the shocking act of violence out of mind, public officials there reacted by organizing a countrywide gun buyback. It will cost about $200 million, but in New Zealand, it’s understood that horrific violence by firearms demands immediate action. Friday, June 7, is National Gun Violence Awareness Day, and it kicks off Wear Orange Weekend. Following the 2013 death of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton in Chicago, where she was gathered in a park with friends and fell victim to a misplaced bullet, her loved ones organized Wear Orange Weekend. People across the U.S. wear orange, the color worn by hunters to protect themselves, to raise awareness about gun violence, a perfectly preventable pandemic. Santa Barbara has a gun buyback program organized by the Coalition Against Gun Violence, this year held from 8 a.m. until noon on Saturday, June 15, at Earl Warren Showgrounds. Over the past five years, the event has removed 1,200 guns from our communities. Anonymous people voluntarily turn over functional firearms for gift cards. If you have a firearm sitting around your home, bring it in. Who — Peter Dugre, La Conchita needs a gun?
Abortion: Where Are the Men?
F
or pro-life men, and men in general: I’m not trying to start a war here, but I have serious questions re: the spate of abortion bans just passed in the South. If you really want to do away with abortion, why not flip this conversation to men’s role in the situation? They do have a key one, right? Everyone knows women don’t get pregnant by themselves. Why aren’t conservative men stepping up and

leading the way to prevent pregnancy, and therefore abortion, by aggressively halting conception from the masculine side of this equation? Or, if you prefer that the state handles it for you (which, in my understanding, is never the preferred conservative solution, except when it comes to banning abortion): If men were mandated to pay the consequences for their products of conception for the rest of their lives, as women are by default, wouldn’t that necessarily change the behaviors that produce abortion? Every factory worker knows it’s easier to prevent problems upstream than fix them expensively and badly on the tail end of any system. Applying that logic, if men were mandated to deploy birth control either by masculine birth-control pill or by injection, they couldn’t impregnate women. No possibility of unwanted pregnancy by men = zero demand for abortion by women. Problem solved, it seems to me, and for far less money and pain than today’s system, where the women get stuck with all the responsibility and consequences. If the state mandated it, it could work just as letting auto insurance lapse does in California. They revoke your registration, for a start. Imagine, as a man, your employer or mortgage company getting a call that you weren’t keeping up with your birth control. You’d now be more financially risky because you might have unplanned children that you have to pay for. If that seems harsh and overly statist to you, consider that women already navigate a world that looks like this: (1) Women are considered by companies to be more risky as new hires in their childbearing years; (2) Women get disability rather than maternity leave when giving birth, because apparently having a child is “disabling” in this country; (3) Women make less in their lifetimes when they have children. These economic penalties on women force the party most at risk to make desperate choices. Men aren’t penalized by society for the children they father the way women are for the children they bear. Change that, and the need for abortion decreases dramatically. No one seems to be willing to hold the other responsible party accountable here, other than letting them weigh in with what they think ought to be done to women. There. Has. To. Be. A. Better. Way.

Lisa died unexpectedly in her sleep the night of Tuesday, May 21st at the age of 50. Lisa was a very sweet, kind, loving, compassionate, and intelligent woman. She volunteered at the Mental Wellness Center, talking to the members about their issues and providing them with great support. She was such a good listener. She was also an animal lover and she volunteered at the humane shelter. She rescued several animals from danger. Once she insisted that the car be stopped because there was a goose in the road so she assisted it to safety. Lisa attended elementary school in Amherst, NH; boarding school at The Cambridge School of Weston, MA, and DU college in Denver, Colorado. Lisa did not have children, but she deeply loved her fiancé’s children, and they deeply loved her. Lisa was very close to her grandmother, Stella Buselli. Lisa’s ashes are to be interred with Stella’s grave in Wolcott, Connecticut at a later time. Lisa is survived by her fiancé, Vahan Papakhian of Santa Barbara, and her mother, Anita Kachulis and her younger brother, James Buselli, both of Santa Barbara. She is also survived by her father, Frank Buselli and her stepmother, Pamela Buselli, of Amherst, New Hampshire, and by her half-brother, Breck Buselli of Salt Lake City, Utah. Lisa is also survived by her former husband, Harvey Robbins, of Santa Barbara. Lisa will be sadly missed by all who knew her and loved her, but never forgotten. Her memory lives on in our hearts.

Of Goleta passed away peacefully on May 23rd at his home, two weeks shy of his 93rd birthday. Tom was born in Pittsburgh, PA right before the Great Depression. At he age of 13 he became the man of the family upon his father’s unexpected death. Tom played football in high school and was named MVP. He was a lifelong fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pirates.

A service will be held on June 28th at 9:00 AM at St Marks Catholic Church followed by a reception at his home. Please email his son Daniel at dcorry@ gmail.com if you would like to attend. A thousand years ago I loved and felt loved. But I’ve forgotten how, till now. A thousand years ago I suited in armor and froze My feelings of reception. A thousand years ago I was free to feel and cry But something made me run a and hide The person inside of me. Strange that I should hide To save myself —and lose myself In hiding. TMC.

MONIQUE STARS — AND STALLS: Assemblymember Monique Limón’s rising-star status was evident: The only rank-and-file lawmaker to win a coveted podium speaking slot, she addressed the convention about the growing clout of women in Sacramento; meanwhile, crowds milled around an exhibit booth promoting AB 539, her landmark bill to clamp restrictions on the predatory lending industry. “As women leaders in California, we are no longer playing by the rule book; we are writing the rule book,” she said in her speech. “In our reality, we are not here to try on glass slippers; we are here to shatter glass ceilings. “ In an interview, Limón prolonged her Hamlet act about 2020, and about whether she will seek reelection or run for the state Senate seat of termed-out Hannah-Beth Jackson. Because next year’s primary has been advanced to March — early voting starts in February — her decision is urgent and consequential for Santa Barbara’s political class. Monique already blew by a public promise to disclose a decision several months ago; pressed by a reporter, she merely pointed to the legal schedule of candidate deadlines, which shows filing officially begins in September. “I’m thoughtful about decisions,” she said, dismissing the suggestion that delay makes her seem dithering and indecisive. “Monique will announce when Monique is ready to.” JASON IS RUNNING FOR … SOMETHING: A surprise face in the crowd: S.B. Councilmember Jason Dominguez, who worked the halls searching for support for a 2020 legislative bid. Now seeking reelection in District 1, Dominguez is openly maneuvering to run next year for whichever Sacramento seat Limón doesn’t; although he’s persona non grata with the local Democratic committee, he said he had encouraging conversations with labor types at the convention, presenting himself as a “progressive with an independent streak.” Asked if the spectacle of running for reelection and the Legislature simultaneously might trouble District 1 voters, Dominguez answered, “Not at all — it’s not a substantive issue.” DARAKA CRASHES: By Friday afternoon, 24 hours before balloting for state party chair began, Daraka Larimore-Hall’s glum tone and body language spoke volumes about his chances: “Everybody says I’m their second choice,” he said in the hallway outside a Progressive Caucus meeting. Squeezed between the big-city candidacies of L.A. labor leader Rusty Hicks and Bay Area grassroots leader Kimberly Ellis, Daraka’s bid to advance from vice-chair further suffered when the sexual-harassment scandal that ousted the previous party chair splashed onto him — even though he was the guy who blew the whistle on the disgraceful mess (Independent 12/6/18 & 4/3/19). In the end, Santa Barbara’s progressive favorite son finished third, behind the pragmatic Hicks (elected with 57

BIDEN STAYED AWAY: Joe Biden, the Democratic frontrunner, skipped the event in favor of a big LGBTQ dinner in Ohio; as a political matter, it seemed a smart play, as the former vice president avoided potentially embarrassing confrontations with progressives who dominate the state party and hate his moderate politics. WARREN WON THE WEEKEND: The crucial question in the Democratic race: Who will emerge as Biden’s chief progressive foil? If the convention is a measure, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is trending up. She drew a crowd of 6,500 to an outdoor rally on a chilly Friday night in Oakland, where she called for a “wealth tax” and the breakup of “Big Tech,” then raised the roof in her Saturday speech, winning huge cheers for a clear shot at Biden’s bipartisan vision: “Some say that if we just calm down, the Republicans will come to their senses. But our country is in a crisis. The time for small ideas is over.” Warren, along with California Senator Kamala Harris and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, is aiming at the political base of Bernie Sanders, who in 2016 consolidated left-wing Democrats against Hillary Clinton.
Both Kamala and Pete got enthusiastic receptions Saturday, but by the time Bernie spoke on Sunday morning, the hall was barely half-full. In a weekend packed with high-decibel Trump-bashing, however, his comments still stood out: “The worst president in the history of this country, a president who is a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, and a religious bigot … a president who has the most corrupt administration in history and a president who knows nothing about real American values.” Not to put too fine a point on it. MAYOR PETE SPEAKS: The communications staff of the millennial gay military-veteran Midwestern mayor, the breakout star of the campaign, has a Santa Barbara flavor: ex-Indy reporter Chris Meagher is national press secretary while Tess Whittlesey, who just jumped from Rep. Salud Carbajal’s staff, is the deputy. Mayor Pete got on the line for a few minutes early Saturday to answer, for the first time, Santa Barbara–centric questions about the administration’s efforts to expand offshore oil drilling and fracking in Los Padres National Forest. “He’s moving in exactly the wrong direction,” Buttigieg said, adding that as president, he would restore a drilling moratorium on the California coast. “We need to be moving away from fossil fuels,” he said, calling climate change “a national security threat” and endorsing the “concept of the Green New Deal.” WHITHER IMPEACHMENT? Speaker Nancy Pelosi got rock-star treatment at her hometown convention — except when shouts and jeers demanding Trump’s impeachment interrupted her otherwise anodyne Saturday speech. Pelosi’s go-slow approach to impeachment rankles left wingers, including some of her own House members, but, to her credit, their views were given a full airing. Silicon Valley zillionaire Tom Steyer, who’s spent $80 million on a national campaign to build support for impeachment, got a high-profile speaking slot and strongly made his case. Surely it was accidental that the last line of his address — which, according to the text, called out Pelosi by name — could not be heard when soundboard techies blasted his walk-off music just a tad early.
SPOTTED: Outside the press room, Goleta school boardmember Luz Reyes-Martin, attending her first state convention, knocked down rumors that she might run for Assembly. On the hotel shuttle, Goleta Councilmember James Kyriaco said he has attended every state convention since 1993, after being inspired by 1992’s “Year of the Woman” election, when California first sent two women to the U.S. Senate. On the convention floor: S.B. Dem chair Gail Teton-Landis, in between political duties on Daraka’s behalf, listened closely to presidential speeches; officially neutral, she had high praise for Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Cory Booker of New Jersey. SEX AND CIRCUMCISION: No San Francisco convention is complete without street theater, and two groups outside Moscone Center provided, um, memorable images. “Bloodstained Men” protested the practice of newborn circumcision, as members sported white pants with red paint splotched on the crotch; nearby, a dozen sex workers, several sporting thigh-high boots, garter belts, and thongs, held aloft signs that read “Dominatrixes Against Don” and called for the decriminalization of “erotic labor.” — Jerry Roberts There were no injuries.

Cannabis uproar sends county into tailspin
County Supervisor Das Williams
I
f County Supervisor Das Williams led more with his
nose and less with his chin, perhaps he’d be getting more love in his own hometown. Carpinteria, the cozy coastal community which Williams represents, has become ground zero for this year’s most hotly disruptive news story — the unintended consequences of legalizing cannabis, and the stink it is causing, both in the air and on the ground. But it’s not only Carpinteria. Almost all corners of Santa Barbara County are in an uproar. About a month ago, an angry, disparate group of activists — from the very north to the southern tip of the county — came together to form the Santa Barbara Coalition for Responsible Cannabis Cultivation. Singularly missing from their roster are any actual pot cultivators, but there are plenty of Santa Ynez Valley vintners, who worry that the skunk-like scent of cannabis wafting from nearby cannabis fields will destroy the economic viability of their wine tasting rooms and avocado orchards. Besides odious odors, the coalition also has a laundry list of complaints, including round-the-clock generator noise, latenight lights, new fences, barking guard dogs, and security personnel, some of whom are reportedly armed. A couple of formidable former county officials and at least one big-money philanthropist are behind the group, which has already filed one lawsuit. And beginning this week, members of the coalition will be embarking on a campaign of house-to-house political warfare, challenging every one of the 16 land-use permits the county has issued to the cannabis industry. First District Supervisor Williams, who has lived in Carpinteria for six years, is known for his brash legislative style. But is it fair to say he could have cooled the intensity of this public outrage if only he had shown more sympathy when the cannabis critics first began complaining? After all, Williams is only one of five supervisors. But there’s a reason he and North County supervisor Steve Lavagnino are unofficially dubbed the “Doobie Brothers.” They are
by Nick welsh Photos by Paul wellman behind the record-setting speed with which the county’s new cannabis ordinance was approved.
RED SHIRTS AND CLOTHESPINS The issue blew up last Thanksgiving when the popular social media website Nextdoor Carpinteria all but melted down with complaints about the penetrating stench of cannabis rippling out of Carp greenhouses. By January, angry Carpinterians, wearing red shirts and carrying symbolic clothespins, stormed the supervisors’ chambers, demanding relief. Williams was singled out for personal vilification. Never one to shy away from a fight, Williams launched a verbal counterattack against one particularly outspoken critic. And from the dais, no less. As a rule, elected officials who operate at the retail level — such as county supervisors and city councilmembers — don’t do that. So it is perhaps understandable that Williams opted not to attend a special meeting convened by the Carpinteria City Council on May 28 to discuss cannabis woes. To be fair, the meeting posed a lose-lose proposition for Williams, a political pro who combines a preacher’s fervor with a policy wonk’s granularity. Over the past 16 years, Williams, a liberal Democrat and an environmental flagwaver, has gotten himself elected first as a Santa Barbara city councilmember, then as a state assemblymember, and now, in 2017, as the Santa Barbara supervisor. Recently, he took out papers indicating he plans to run for reelection in 2020. (His critics in the anti-cannabis front have already been trolling for candidates to run against him.) Or he could decide to run for state Senate when Hannah-Beth Jackson’s term expires a year from now. So if Williams showed up at the Carpinteria council’s cannabis fest, he’d have found himself assigned the unhappy role of human piñata. Williams first said he didn’t attend the meeting due to confusion over the timing. He then said he didn’t want
to get “derailed” from the important issues that made him run for office in the first place: environmental sustainability, climate change, public safety. He stressed his willingness to meet with anyone — “I’m showing my face all the time,” he said — just as long as they’re serious about “solving problems and finding solutions.” Too many of his critics, he worried, “are just looking to fight.” If the debate over cannabis becomes at times poisonously personal, there’s no shortage of theories why. A spokesperson for the cannabis industry blames posttraumatic stress disorder. The Carpinteria Valley did come within a hair’s width from being wiped out during last year’s debris flow, but that doesn’t explain the hotbeds of discontent boiling over in the Santa Ynez Valley and the scenic Tepusquet Canyon outside Santa Maria.
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SMELL Smell is a strange and powerful thing. Humans, it turns out, don’t experience smell the same way we experience the other four senses. Smell bypasses the part of the human brain that governs rational thought, where the other four senses are first processed. Instead, smell goes directly to a part of the brain governing emotions and memory. Consequently, smell wields a profound effect on mood and behavior. But because humans lack the same detailed and descriptive vocabulary where smell is concerned, it’s hard to talk about. And what can’t be put into words is hard to acknowledge. Smell is also notoriously subjective. Different people can experience the same odors at the same location completely differently. Once experienced, a smell memory can be easily retriggered, and the brain reaction is not necessarily proportional to the stimuli. Unlike sound and light, there are no agreed-upon metrics by which units of smell can be measured and recorded. Smell was the main topic of conversation at last Tuesday’s Carpinteria City Council meeting — smell and the

CANNABIS FACTS AT A GLANCE
The numbers surrounding Santa Barbara’s cannabis industry are changing all the time. They fluctuate almost daily and, like all “facts,” are subject to bitter dispute. For example, state stats indicate there are 42 acres of cannabis under cultivation in Carpinteria. But such metrics depend on how one defines “canopy.” Is it the bushes themselves or the buildings they inhabit? If you assume the latter, Carpinteria has closer to 200 acres in the cannabis permit pipeline. But Carpinteria, it turns out, has a cap of 186 acres. So where does that leave us? In the county, one must first secure the necessary land-use permits. Then one can apply for the necessary business license. Only one operator has achieved both feats. Total Temporary Licenses, Santa Barbara County: 928 Total Temporary Licenses, Humboldt County: 773 Total Temporary Licenses, State of California: 2,858 Total Number of Individual Operations: 52 Total Acreage: 174.33 acres* (*This assumes 42 acres in Carpinteria rather than 200)

county’s apparent lack of interest in it. Joan Esposito, a longtime resident and a former professional hellraiser on behalf of kids with dyslexia, blamed cannabis odors for migraine headaches and asthma attacks. Even with the aggressive odor-control systems touted by the industry and Supervisor Williams, Esposito said, “It still stinks.” Charlotte Brownlee, representing Cate School, the elite prep school located near Lion’s Park, said there are five greenhouses located within a mile of their campus: “We continue to suffer from noxious, persistent odors.” And another woman described how her throat started to constrict after she drove through a curtain of fumes around Padaro Lane on her way home one night. Councilmember Al Clark, the old man of the mountain with more than 20 years seniority, said Carpinterians were being treated like “guinea pigs.” “We’re experiencing reported health complaints while we’re waiting for something to happen,” he said. That “something” was a regulatory and enforcement scheme that is supposed to address the so-called bad actors. Councilmember Gregg Carty said, “I hope Das Williams is watching on TV. I don’t see him in the audience.” A handful of cannabis growers did show up, braving the sea of rolling eyeballs as they sought to put the industry’s best face forward. Council chair Wade Namura frequently found himself forced to remind

those in attendance to be respectful. But not all 20 of those making public comments took heed. Scott Van Der Kar, a longtime avocado rancher, sarcastically noted that he hadn’t realized he was allergic to cannabis smells until Sophie Van Wingerden, a thirdgeneration greenhouse farmer and a main player in the Carpinteria cannabis industry, walked by. Then, he said, his eyes began to water and his throat began to constrict. Though the Carpinteria meeting was only supposed to be informational, the City Council voted unanimously to take some kind of action on June 17. Just what action remains to be seen. More letters? And if so, to whom? An official resolution? Another threatened lawsuit?
A HOT, STEAMING MESS
Carpinteria and the rest of Santa Barbara County are experiencing the collective, localized whiplash inflicted when state voters attempted — three years ago — to overturn 90 years of just-say-no federal drug laws. Back in 1937, the federal government effectively outlawed cannabis by taxing it into oblivion. Then in 1970, the United States government declared marijuana a dangerous drug with no redeeming medical virtues — on par with heroin. In 1996, however, Californians, in opposition to the federal laws, voted

to decriminalize pot for medicinal purposes. And then, in November 2016, the state voted overwhelmingly to legalize weed for the sheer euphoric, recreational fun of it. Ever since, it’s been a hot, steaming mess. The unintended consequence of this initiative has been a case study in hyperactive incoherence and operational dysfunction. While California growers are reportedly producing eight times more legal product than state consumers can ingest, 380 of 540 cities and counties are refusing to allow retail outlets to open shop within their borders. No wonder the price of cannabis has been in perpetual freefall. Two years ago, the price per pound hovered above $2,000; today, it’s closer to $500. Some alarmed state legislators have pushed desperate remedies; one proposed bill, for example, would mandate local governments to approve one retail outlet for every six licensed liquor stores in their jurisdiction. Late last week, that bill died in committee. Meanwhile, the industry is calling for tax relief. State taxes and fees are tough enough, they say, but those exacted by cities and counties are killers. This high cost of doing business, they claim, puts the legal cannabis industry at a serious competitive disadvantage with black-market operators. Even in Santa Barbara County, one of the few California counties to embrace cannabis, the only city to have retail outlets is Lompoc, an agricultural town once famous for flower fields but currently in the depths of fiscal despair. (Santa Barbara is on the verge of opening two retail dispensories, and Goleta is allowing six. When these open remains a long way down the road, as are the eight that might be allowed in unincorporated Santa Barbara.) Worse is the bottleneck stopping up the supply chain because California only has a very small number of laboratories able to test if cannabis products are pesticide-

free — a critical component, since the state’s initiative promised it would be. To date, there is not one such lab operating in Santa Barbara County, though an application is pending in Goleta. Most of the greenhouses in the Carpinteria Valley are not within the City of Carpinteria, which has never been cannabis-friendly. It always worried that the county, which has jurisdiction over the Carp Valley, would not provide enough protection for city residents. This might explain why, even though California law allows adults the right to grow six cannabis plants for their own personal use, Carpinteria city law requires that they be grown indoors and no retail storefront dispensaries are allowed. Earlier on, in fact, the Carpinteria council had given serious thought to suing the county over the cannabis ordinance and had set aside funding for just such an effort. Although nothing would come of such saber-rattling, city administrators testified at public hearings and submitted reams of protesting letters. The city has, however, indicated an openness to locating a cannabis lab and a distribution center in the industrial park section of town located on the mountain side of the freeway. And the $64-billion question remains, as it always has, what to do with all the cannabis cash its growers and retailers are hoping to earn. Federally insured banks are naturally gun-shy about accepting revenues generated from a federally prohibited product. To help navigate all this confusion, a new cottage industry has emerged populated by lobbyists, political consultants, $800-an-hour attorneys, land-use agents, and commercial real estate speculators. It’s enough to make anyone want to take a bath.
BIG TREE IN THE FOREST
The State of California gave counties the option of passing their own rules to regulate and tax the cannabis industry. Santa Barbara County, already home to a massive, quasi-underground medicinal cannabis business, jumped in headfirst. In a series of votes, the county supervisors opened their arms to the new incar-

nation of an old industry. By bringing the “gray market” operators out of the shadows and into compliance, the supervisors maintained they could create a safer, saner industry for consumers, while generating the tax revenues, as much as $25 million a year, needed to eradicate the criminal element and blackmarket operators. When the dust of legalization settles, it’s all but certain Santa Barbara will be the tallest tree in the forest when it comes to cannabis cultivation. Right now, Santa Barbara has the most temporary and provisional licenses of any county in the state by far. In fact, Santa Barbara County has roughly 32 percent of all the provisional licenses California has issued. Many of these are for greenhouses along Highway 192 that until only a few years ago were sprouting gerbera daisies for global beautification. But when that market disappeared, cannabis emerged. Today, Carpinteria Valley is home to 25 greenhouse cannabis operations. For champions of the new industry, cannabis means, among other things, economic vitality and lots of high-paying new jobs that pay considerably better than tourist-trap wages. It means fewer big 16 wheelers rumbling through the Carpinteria Valley, laden with daisies. It means less pesticides being used, and cleaner, safer cannabis products, properly labeled for potency and strain. At the Carpinteria council meeting, Graham Farrar, a major greenhouse operator, talked wistfully about riding his bike through Goleta’s lemon orchards as a kid, only to grow up and see them replaced by condos. Cannabis, he said, could save agriculture in Carpinteria from a similar fate. But there’s a hitch. Greenhouses are hot inside, and hot air rises. As that happens, the rich, ripe aromas blooming inside these

cannabis plantations escape out rooftop vents and fan out everywhere the winds blow.
GETTING IT RIGHT
Since 2018, Carpinteria residents have filed 166 complaints with various county officials about the intrusions by cannabis odors. Given how unclear it’s been which government agency was responsible for processing such complaints, that number does not reflect the magnitude of the problem. The real question now is: Has it gotten better or worse, and how effective is the technology to neutralize fugitive smells before they can escape? In Carpinteria, the possibility of odor control appears to be technically feasible. Many greenhouses there have been fitted with an expensive odor-neutralization system created by Byers Scientific out of Bloomington. It shoots vapors infused with essential oils 10 feet above the greenhouse roof lines at speeds of 106 miles per hour and costs about $150,000 to install and about $15,000 a month to operate. However, the precise number of greenhouses fitted with odor-control systems is hard to come by. The City of Carpinteria says it doesn’t know how many of the 25 greenhouses now operating have odor-control systems installed. The county says there are 33 greenhouses with applications; of those, they claim 15 are currently under cultivation and 14 have odorcontrol systems. Mark Byer of Byers Scientific claims he has 95 percent of Carpinteria’s mar-
ket of odor-control systems. According to company chief Marc Byers, these vapors “surf ” the same air currents occupied by the odor-producing terpenes associated with cannabis. It doesn’t mask the smell, Byers stated; it changes the fundamental chemistry, creating new compounds that the human brain doesn’t register as smell. Byers estimated that when his systems first went in, they reduced odor problems by about 80 percent. Since then, he noted, the number of operations and the number of plants have increased, so existing systems will need to be reconfigured. Byers said he’s recently hired a “dream team” of experts to conduct the most comprehensive study of Carpinteria’s odor

Nothing, he stressed, will make the problem go away 100 percent. Smell being so subjective and some residents being so sensitive, he said, some people will smell things that aren’t even there. Industry representatives insist that these high-end odor-control systems are already making a big difference. To critics who insist the county’s typical process was short-circuited to benefit the new industry at the public’s expense, growers point to the lengthy collaborative public process that resulted in the county’s cannabis ordinance. Bad actors had been targeted in numerous law enforcement and eradication raids — 30 to date, involving the destruction of 850,000 plants — which, they stressed, were paid for with funds generated by the new industry. Santa Barbara’s regulatory straitjacket, they insisted, was the tightest of any county in the state. If county government was so in the thrall of the new industry, they asked, why has only one cannabis grower been able to obtain

cover story the two required licenses? Anecdotally, reports of the smell remain all over the map. Tracking them down is akin to hunting ghosts. Independent intern Skyler DePaoli, who attended an open house held at the Ever-Bloom greenhouse, said the stretch of road up Cravens Road toward Foothill Road “reeked” of cannabis. But at the greenhouse itself, she said, there was precious little smell. Reports of odor infestations near and around Carpinteria High School — which has long been a target for anti-cannabis outrage—have not evaporated but seem significantly fewer and further in between. John Stineman, who lives within 500 feet of Ever-Bloom, said that for months the greenhouse infused the community with strong, skunk-like odors. Since the odorcontrol systems have been installed, he said, they’ve been replaced by a more subtle smell reminiscent of burnt leaves.
INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN Controlling odors in greenhouses is one thing. But how can odors emitting from a 70-acre cannabis field be contained? It’s a question grape growers and vintners in North County are asking. Leading the charge for the new coalition is Blair Pence, a former developer from Bakersfield who has reincarnated himself as a Santa Ynez vintner on Highway 246. Pence — who grows 50 acres of grapes on his 200-acre ranch — claims he’s now all but totally hemmed in by three nearby grows, ranging in size from 40 to 70 acres. His wife suffers constant headaches from the smell, and they’ve had to move. Though he hasn’t suffered any consequences himself, he smells it all the time, and some of his workers are having problems. Now his tasting room has been compromised by the ambient odors. Since there’s no way to install an odor-control system on a 50-acre field, Pence said, he’s begun filing administrative challenges and appeals against neighbors who’ve converted over to cannabis. Beginning this week, the county’s Planning Commission will begin hearing these appeals. The front line of attack for Pence and other critics is that they believe many cannabis operators falsely claimed they had been raising cannabis medicinally before January 2016 and thus, under county regulations, are entitled to certain legal privileges not afforded cannabis growers who applied after that time. When supervisors adopted this plan, the only thing required of these medicinal growers was to sign a one-page affidavit claiming they were cultivating prior to 2016. ( Santa Cruz County, by contrast, requires an eight-page affidavit.) County administrators decided it would take too much time and resources to verify these affidavits, so planners rely on the county sheriff and the District Attorney’s Office to do so. To date, the District Attorney has filed six criminal perjury charges against operators who made false claims on their affidavits. Pence and his posse plan to challenge the validity of land-use permits issued to many other cannabis growers. At the planning commission, this will be a huge, complicated mess. It is this legal loophole that has many cannabis critics most enraged, even more than the odors or PTSD. They have been told time and time again by Supervisor Williams to have patience in the process. Bad apples will be winnowed out. Growers who make it through will have to comply with the county’s strict rules regarding odor control. Those who fail to comply will be shut down. But all this takes more and more time. But many residents are smelling the cannabis now. w In Carpinteria, the clock is ticking for the cannabis growers now applying for their permits. Only 186 acres of cultivation are allowed there, and that ceiling will soon be breached. Delays of the kind Blair Pence intends could prove fatal. On the table are various legislative fixes for cannabis growers. But the political quid pro quo could well be a temporary moratorium on new applications. It’s not certain who has the votes to get what. To effectively navigate these waters, Supervisor Williams will need to rely less on his chin and more on his n nose.

In S.B., No One Need Die Alone
H
ospice of Santa Barbara and Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care are asking for volunteers for their No One Dies Alone (NODA) program, which helps ensure that those who are dying without family or friends nearby have someone at their side during their final hours. The agencies said they’re looking for volunteers with “personal and spiritual maturity” and “a capacity for reflection on one’s lived experience.” “There are situations where someone is the last surviving member in their family or lives across the country from friends and relatives,” said David Selberg, CEO of Hospice of Santa Barbara. “We want to make sure that we are there with them.” Sally Turvey, Hospice of S.B.’s volunteer services coordinator, said volunteers sign up for two-hour shifts between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., typically during a patient’s last 24-36 hours of life. They play soft music, hold the patient’s hand, sit in silence, or provide damp towels and other simple comforts. Support is often more “about being rather than doing,” Turvey said, meaning that a volunteer’s mere presence can offer the most solace. Lyn Essig has volunteered with NODA for four years. She said the work has been “very rewarding” and cites the experience of her parents’ deaths as her

reason for joining the program. “I was with both of them when they passed away, and I just think it’s an amazing part of life,” she said. For Essig, each shift is unique, “leaves an impression,” and encourages her to keep volunteering. “When you’re sitting with them,” she said, “you learn a lot of about who they were and what they did … and where they’re headed.” NODA services take place in personal homes as well as Sarah House, The Californian, Serenity House, Alexander Gardens & Villa Alamar, Heritage House, Buena Vista Care Center, Samarkand, and Alto Lucero. All volunteers go through a rigorous training process. For more information, visit hospiceof santabarbara.org or call Hospice of Santa Barbara’s offices at 563-8820. —Sofia Mejias-Pascoe

over their heads but are otherwise on their own. Unless, of course, they get invited to Sunday dinner. This year, however, mainly due to the devastation of the Montecito debris flow, the Foresters are short on hosts. “We’re hurtin’ for places,” said manager Bill Pintard. Dr. Mark Montgomery, who was killed with his daughter Caroline in the disaster, used to put up five players every summer. Many others’ homes and lives connected to the Foresters have been disrupted. Pintard said around a dozen outof-town players are still looking for places to stay. He promised they’d be clean and respectful guests. And if they’re not, they won’t play. “I make the lineup every day,” he explained. “If I hear that someone messed up at a house, they ain’t making the lineup.” Those interested in helping should call 684-0657 or email info@sbforesters.org.

WHAT COULD BE: Artist’s renderings (above and below) of possible downtown housing designs.
Downtown Housing
T
here’s no shortage of differing ideas—and opinions—about the best way to fix downtown Santa Barbara. But there’s widespread agreement on at least one point: The construction of new housing should be part of any State Street improvement plan. It would inject new life and new money into the area and help address the city’s chronic housing shortage. Plus, Sacramento has ordered each and every California city to build more homes. We don’t make much of a choice. To that end, a unique group of government leaders, architects, and historians is putting on a free public symposium to explore Santa Barbara’s urban design and how the city can add more housing without disrupting its architecturally successful DNA. The three-day event, called Santa Barbara: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, was organized by Harrison Design, the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation, Downtown Santa Barbara, and the City of Santa Barbara. “The goal of the symposium is to understand how Santa Barbara became the enviably beautiful city we have today, and to discuss how these principles can be used to address our current challenges,” said architect and Historic Landmarks Commission member Anthony Grumbine in a press statement. “It is an event for everyone who cares deeply about the future of the city, whether they be historic preservationists, planners, architects, developers, property owners, or engaged citizens.” Things kick off June 6 with an archive showcase at the recently restored Alhecama Theatre followed the next day with talks on Traditional Urbanism and post-WWII development. There will also be a walking tour, panel discussions, and lunch at Casa de la Guerra, ending with a watercolor meetup at the courthouse. All events are free to attend, but registration is required.

HERE’S TO THE NEXT 100: University Club President Leonard Himelsein and his team are courting younger members with reduced fees, more social events, and a happy hour.
University Club I
Hits Century Mark
f the University Club walls could talk, they’d have 100 years of juicy stories to tell. Like during prohibition, when alcohol was only legal by prescription, how bottles still found their way inside. “I am sure that many acute illnesses occurred here at the University Club necessitating urgent care,” member Lloyd Monk wrote with a wink in an old newsletter. Or when past president Charles Pruess helped the club survive the lean years of the Depression by installing a slot machine in the lobby, until he was told by members, who also happened to be judges, to remove it. But more likely, the walls would talk about the century’s worth of camaraderie and community they’ve incubated. As one of Santa Barbara’s oldest institutions, the club has gathered people across social, professional, and political spectrums under one roof, during the good times and the bad. Members helped one another through WWII. They did so again during the Thomas Fire and debris flow. On calmer days, the cream-colored mansion next to Alameda Park serves as a comfortably plush meeting space for friends and business associates. They rub elbows in the living room or speak privately upstairs. “This is a place where different people of different talents come together,” said current president Leonard Himelsein, who’s helping organize the club’s big Centennial Celebration on June 8. “It’s such a milestone, not just for us, but for Santa Barbara.” Himelsein, a member since the 1980s, appreciates the club’s history as much as anyone, but he’s also looking to the future. He’s worked hard to modernize amenities and attract younger members, even cutting fees for people under 40 in half. “They’re the ones who will see us through the next 100 years,” he said animatedly in a thick South African accent. “We just upgraded
the WiFi.” They also ripped up the old carpet, spruced up the patio, and will soon introduce a happy hour. Himelsein, an entrepreneur, diamond dealer, and director of American Riviera Bank, insisted I join him over a lunch of scallops, mussels, and ravioli prepared by their new star chef, David Rosner. The food was light and tasty, a far cry from the standard club fare of overdone hamburgers and overdressed Caesar salads. Rosner, who Santa Barbarans will recognize from stints at Wine Cask, Café Luck, and The Monarch, redid 90 percent of the menu. He still serves a burger, albeit a much more elevated version, and has offered prawns from Mozambique, sole from Dover, and Wagyu beef from Idaho. The menu changes every Friday. This is Rosner’s first job in a private club, and he relishes the opportunity. “What drew me to working in a club was being more of an innkeeper rather than running a commercial kitchen,” he explained. “I really enjoy the hospitality-focused home environment. It’s the best of both worlds.” Rosner is also about to roll out a new breakfast menu. The menu for the Centennial Celebration, however, is a surprise, said manager Sarah Rudd. Rosner and Rudd worked together at Wine Cask and were handselected by Himelsein to lead the club through its renaissance. “We’re puttin’ the band back together,” Rudd said with a smile. The Roaring Twenties–themed party — one of the only times in recent memory the club is opened to the public — will feature a live band, gaming in the billiards room, silent movies out on the patio, and a raffle with big-ticket items. “It’ll be a blast,” she said. —Tyler Hayden

your Cuban grandma’s kitchen.” And compared to the haute standards at Barbareño, planning a casual counter-service eatery also presented new service challenges for the owneres and GM Jonathan Jarrett, who is also Cuban. “We can’t be poring over every dish,” said Gaddy. But even with the walk-up ordering system, “we give an unexpected amount of hospitality,” said Gaddy, whose servers will deliver the food and follow up with diners, like in a sit-down restaurant. And they serve from lunchtime to way late, 11 to 1 a.m. daily.
DRINKS To design the cocktail menu, which Ristaino and Orman
envisioned as “al fresco patio drinks,” they did exhaustive research, testing more than 50 recipes and taking trips to Miami, where he was raised. “We figured people would gravitate toward light and bright,” said Ristaino of the results, which taste brilliantly unique and thoroughly tropical without being sweet, syrupy, or overly fruity. The 14 selected drinks ($11-$12) are broken down into three categories: Frozen Cocktails, Punches, Cups, and Sours; Fizzy Drinks; and Stirred and Pinkie Up. There’s also beer, wine, and nonalcoholic options, such the orgeat fizz and seasonal shrub. So far, the formula seems to be catching on: They’re already using exponentially more coconut milk at Shaker Mill than at Test Pilot, whose tiki-bar menu relies on the stuff. Here are a few best sellers to try:

Cuba Libre: This classic is full of cola flavors, yet no cola is involved. “We tasted that more than any other cocktail — it was brutal,” said Ristaino. “We didn’t give up on it,” added Orman. “But after sampling, sampling, sampling, we love it,” confirmed Ristaino. Piña Colada: This drink, which is enhanced with crushed coffee beans, Ristaino explained, “was inspired by our R&D trip to Miami,” when they couldn’t get enough of Sweet Liberty’s coladas. Tequila Sunrise 2.0: “We really dried it out,” said Ristaino of his not-sweet-at-all recipe. “And I fell in love with the crazy idea of garnishing a cocktail with another cocktail.” Yep, it’s topped with a splash of mezcal negroni. Porto Guava: This refreshing rum-guava-port drink goes great with the Cubano sandwich. “I’m a firm believer in the viability of pairing cocktails with food,” said Ristaino. House Old Fashioned: “We wanted to involve Cuban tobacco,” said Ristaino, so they figured out how to scorch tea leaves to give that impression in this drink, which is on tap and includes both rum and bourbon. Mango Lassi: Just like it sounds, this is the South Asian– inspired smoothie-like drink, spiked with pistachioinfused vodka. Said Ristaino, “It’s our homage to the old India House.”

Wristband-toting patrons can taste at 16 destinations, including The Habit (the second location for the now-national chain, which started in Isla Vista in 1969); Pepe’s Authentic Mexican Restaurant; Asian food stars Gimeal and Pattaya Thai; and Old Town Coffee Company. “One of the delights of the Taste is to try restaurants you didn’t even know were there,” said Phebe Mansur of Goleta Old Town Community Association (GOTCA). “These are the authentic longtime Mom-and-Pop eateries with amazing food that only locals know about.” This won’t be one of those events where you get a nibble and a sliver of radish. “People need to approach this like Thanksgiving,” said GOTCA’s Mark Navarro. “The Taste is a restaurant crawl with over 20 unique and flavorful tastes on offer — come ready to eat!” A panel of celebrity judges will award winners, and so will the crowd in the people’s choice category. The Taste’s beer, wine, and cider garden at Prestigious Auto (5901 Hollister Ave.) features brews from Santa Barbara Cider Company, M.Special Brewing Company, Windrun, and Samsara wines. The ticket includes your first drink. The Taste is a community fundraiser for the Goleta Christmas Parade. Tickets are on sale now at goletataste.com. Advance tickets receive a $5 discount. Members of Goleta Old Town Community Association also receive a $5 discount. PASCUCCI TURNS 25: In the early 1990s, while I was

busy building a website that led to the birth of this restaurant column, proprietor Laura Knight was busy starting an actual restaurant: Pascucci at 729 State Street. Her eatery was a smash hit, and it continues to be popular today, 25 years later. She’s celebrating that silver anniversary this month, with 25 percent discounts on their top-selling 25 items for one week, until June 13. Through the end of June, they are expanding happy hour prices all day and night, every day of the week. “We would like to thank all of our loyal customers that have been dining at Pascucci for 25 years,” said Knight. “We really appreciate them.” RUSTY’S MOVEMENT IN SUMMERLAND: In April 2015,
I reported that Rusty’s Pizza acquired the prop-
erty at 2315 Lillie Avenue in Summerland, the longtime home of Stacky’s Seaside. In June 2017, we learned that Stacky’s had closed its doors permanently. This week, I got a new message from reader Tom: “I saw today construction workers at the old Stacky’s in Summerland. Lots of activity going on and first sign of life there in over a year.” Growing up in Montecito, I frequented Stacky’s and was sad to see it go. But I also have been a lifelong fan of Rusty’s Pizza, so, for me, this story will have a happy ending. THREE CLOSINGS: Readers Cris and Andy tell
me that Goa Taco, which opened at 718 State Street in June 2017, has closed. I’m told that the interior is in some disarray and the poles marking the outdoor seating area have been broken and not repaired. Andy says the new owner is listed as “Jagga Daku LLC” with a notice date of May 25. … Ca’Dario Pasta Veloce, a small eatery inside the Santa Barbara Public Market at 38 West Victoria Street, has closed after a year in business. A sister restaurant in the market, Ca’Dario Pizza Veloce, continues to be open for business as usual. … On May 15, the Sweet Alley at 955 Embarcadero del Mar in Isla Vista closed its doors. The business opened in February 2009. FRIED CHICKEN FOR I.V.: The Daily Nexus reports
that 2019 UCSB grad Sophie Xu has purchased Sweet Alley at 955 Embarcadero del Mar in Isla Vista with plans to transform it into Vons Chicken, a San Jose–based franchise that serves more than 10 different renditions of authentic Korean fried chicken. With renovations set to begin next month, Xu plans to completely change the interior and is considering obtaining a light liquor license. The Nexus reports that, in addition to regular seating, Xu plans to make Vons Chicken “grab and go” where a customer they can be on their way in as little as 10 minutes. MICHELIN AWARDS TWO S.B. BIBS: Though Santa
Barbara was not bestowed any coveted Michelin Guide stars, two restaurants were honored with the “Bib Gourmand” designation: Mesa Verde and Sama Sama Kitchen. The award is reserved for those restaurants “that serve high-quality meals which include two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less.” Statewide, the Michelin Guide awarded 90 restaurants with stars.

Trade Toothpaste for CrushTabs Try This
Father’s Day Celebrations Celebrate with a sunset & drinks, lunch, dinner or Sunday Brunch. We’ve got you covered.
rushTabs is the newest toothpaste for the
health and wellness obsessed, though it’s not actually a paste. The tiny, bear-shaped tablet, launched by Santa Barbara’s Be Well Labs this past February, features a simple and natural formula of xylitol, organic peppermint essential oil, and baking soda. Billing her product as “The Healthiest Toothpaste on Earth,” creator Stephanie Gombrelli is challenging consumers to take a close look at their current toothpaste ingredients, which she says too often “read like a mad scientist’s chemistry shopping list.” Despite a lack of artificial flavoring or sugar, CrushTabs are surprisingly sweet: the pellet looks and tastes like a breath mint but dissolves immediately when placed in the mouth. Because of its uncomplicated composition, using a toothbrush with the tablet feels more like using a gentle mouthwash than brushing using a commercial toothpaste. The product is well suited for on-thego purposes, even when a toothbrush need not be

used — simply chewing and spitting out the mix provides fresh breath and kills bacteria that accumulates over the day. “It can be used stealthily in your car, at a restaurant, at your desk, or in a waiting room with only a cup,” explained Gombrelli. Be Well Labs is the outcome of Gombrelli’s 14-year career as the owner of Forever Beautiful Spa — a wellness center on State Street focused on “healthy beauty”—and four years of research on healthy hygiene alternatives. The startup company has also released a unique flossing method called CrushFloss, a gum-soothing oil called CrushOil, and a tablet-holding key chain called a CrushBullet. —Taylor Salmons See crushtabs.com.

EMAIL: ARTS@INDEPENDENT.COM And now, all these years later, you’ve had a really long run. Yeah, it’s been almost 25 years, and sometimes it feels like 50, and sometimes it feels like it just started. I mean, there are times where I’m on my way into the city right now, San Francisco, because we’re going to do a private show for Stub Hub. And we’ll play the Fillmore, and who doesn’t love the Fillmore? You know, it’s like the greatest spot ever.
SARA KEISLING
You don’t play the small venues so much these days, do you? No, but I want to after I make the next album. I think it’d be a lot of fun to go do the Fillmores of the country. There was a time when Tom Petty did like 16 nights at the Fillmore. I don’t think we could do that, but I think we could at least do a few. I think it’d be really fun to, like, go back to the heart of it — musically and as far as the venues.
Pat Monahan
S
an Francisco’s music scene in the 1990s was thriving, as the city was home to myriad fledgling bands that would become some of the best-known groups of the decade: Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind, Primus, and Green Day, to name a few. I was living in the city then, and I’d head to clubs to hear up-and-comers such as Sean Hayes, Michael Franti, and Train. Led by singer/songwriter Patrick Monahan, Train would play to a packed audience at the Last Day Saloon, a delightfully worn-in neighborhood bar and music venue on Clement Street. As Train trotted out the buoyant “Meet Virginia” and introspective “I Am,” it was clear the band would one day outgrow the intimate San Francisco scene. In 1998, Train released its eponymous, self-produced debut record; the songs we’d been singing along to in the small clubs quickly became radio hits. Train went platinum, and the album’s second single, “Meet Virginia,” landed in the top 20 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Three years later, the band was launched into the stratosphere with its sophomore album, Drops of Jupiter. The title song, with its soaring strings,
epic lyrics, and engaging beat, spent more than a year on the charts and earned them a Grammy for Best Rock Song. Over the next two decades, Train would record eight more albums and score as many more hits — “Calling All Angels” and “Hey, Soul Sister,” for example. With a fan base that ranges from millennials to baby boomers, Train’s impressive career doesn’t seem to be slowing down. On tour for its Greatest Hits album, which was released last year, Train is playing the Santa Barbara Bowl on June 11. I recently spoke with Monahan about the band’s career arc and what’s next for the group. This tour was prompted by Train’s Greatest Hits album. Is that right? Yeah, basically. I’ve always tried to avoid the greatest hits because it kind of meant it was time to go out to pasture. But my manager convinced me that it’s actually a much better way for people to find you since music has changed so much, and it’s all streaming and now they can look at the greatest hits and see all the songs that they may not know the band’s name. So it made a lot of sense to me.
And how would that change musically? I don’t know. You know, so many things now start with, like, a drum beat and a sound, and I don’t knock that; it’s just that’s not the way [we] started in the beginning. It started with acoustic guitars, and then we would build from there. And now it’s like, “Oh man, check out this beat.” And that’s just the way that music has evolved. And it’d be nice to just go back to the acoustic guitar for a minute. When “Hey, Soul Sister” came out, my niece and nephew were young kids. They sang that song all the time. Oh, that’s cool. I heard some really amazing stories. There was a boy in 2009, when “Soul Sister” was out, or maybe it was 2010. And he was severely autistic and never spoke, and his parents were in the kitchen, and they heard something in the television room. And it was him singing to “Hey, Soul Sister” on TV, and they broke down. That was the first that he’d ever spoken. So that song did some really magical things. —Michelle Drown

RENT AT THE
GRANADA THEATRE
By the early 1990s, the Western world was reeling from the impact that the HIV/AIDS virus was having on the population as more and more people were dying from the disease. Amid this health crisis, Jonathan Larson began work-shopping his new play, Rent, which traces the lives of young artists living in New York City’s rough Alphabet City amid poverty and the AIDS epidemic. After three years of rewrites, Rent made its Broadway debut in April 1996. The groundbreaking musical not only won multiple Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize but also became one of the longest-running plays on Broadway and launched the careers of Jesse L. Martin, Taye Diggs, and Idina Menzel, among others. Santa Barbarans can see the trailblazing play when Broadway in Santa Barbara presents Rent as the finale of its 2018 season. Javon King, who plays drag queen Angel Dumott Schunard, is thrilled to be part of the touring production. “I have loved [Angel] ever since I was first introduced to Rent, which was the [2005] movie. It was a dream role for me — being able to do the show and travel with it and spread this message to all across the world and to small cities in the United States.” As for the play’s relevance 20 years on, King believes it to still be of crucial importance. After a recent show, a woman approached the actor to tell him how she was touched by his performance and by the play in general because her husband died of AIDS back in 1990. “People will come up to us and say things like that or have stories that are very similar to Angel passing or Mimi almost passing,” said King. “It really puts me in a humbling place remembering that this story is real and it happened to people. … It’s really great that the show is still around because it shines a light on issues that need to be continued to talk about.” — MD
Rent plays Tuesday, June 11, 7:30 p.m., at The Granada Theatre, 1214 State St. Call 899-2222 or see granadasb.org.

You see that the score is made up of colorful shapes and that each shape is coordinated with one of the eight bells. I’ve written 365 different melodies, many of which commemorate different people, from Jerry Garcia to Carolee Schneemann. What level of musicianship will people need to participate?

That led me to create these kind of intermedia works — to take music out of the concert hall and into other places. In 2010, I was part of a group in Los Angeles called Machine Projects, and we put on some concerts of experimental music in the coatroom at the Hammer Museum, just to see what hearing that music in such an intimate setting would be like. As part of the same impulse, we ended up playing trombones and car horns on a mountaintop.

ummer signals no school, warm nights, and opening day at PCPA’s Solvang Festival Theater. This season kicks off with the production of the 2014 Tony Award–winning A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder. Set at the start of the 1900s, the musical tells the story of commoner Monty Navarro, who, after discovering he is eighth in line for an earldom in the upper-crust D’Ysquith family, sets out to remove the obstacles —i.e., people—ahead of him in the inheritance line. The result is a delightful blend of boorish and erudite humor. “There is a unique sophistication about the show that is both high-brow and low-brow,” explained the show’s director, Brad Carroll. “Oscar Wilde meets Agatha Christie meets Gilbert and Sullivan meets British Music Hall, with a dash of Monty Python.” In an email exchange with the Independent, Carroll answered a few questions about the show.

NOW SHOWING Aladdin (128 mins., PG) Will Smith plays Genie (voiced fabulously by Robin Williams in the 1992 animated film) in this updated, liveaction version of the folktale One Thousand and One Nights. The story remains the same: Aladdin (Mena Massoud) falls in love with Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott), finds a magic lamp, and frees Genie; mayhem ensues.

O Biggest Little Farm
(91 mins., PG)
Perhaps the biggest triumph at this year’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival was The Biggest Little Farm, a fascinating documentary on the humble beginnings, struggles, and ultimate success story of Apricot Lane Farms in Moorpark. Urban refugee filmmaker John Chester rolled camera(s), extensively and obsessively, on the project he undertook with his wife, Molly, tracing the radical transformation of a neglected plot of land in Ventura County into a wildly diversified farm —now a model of sustainability worthy of visitor tours. Sidestepping the “dry doc” syndrome, the film depicts their so far seven-year adventure and arc of selfeducation with seductive visuals and an engaging dramatic moxie. On the sonic front, Jeff Beal’s Disney-fied orchestral music seems all wrong for such a literally organic tale, which cries out for something acoustic and rootsy. That quibble aside, The Biggest Little Farm charms and inspires with an epic DIY story from deep inside the 805. (JW)
Valley (Thomas Middleditch). It’s a cast no latex-suit-wearing actor (as in the original gojira films of the 1950s) could possibly hope to defeat. While the monsters thunder their atomic breath at each other, it’s up to the humans to carry the plot, boldly giving their lines to move the story along, almost incidentally giving sense to the next barrage of long, loud, and violent “crypto-zoological” mayhem. In fact, it all becomes such a roaring good time that you can only wish that noise-cancelling headsets were at hand. (JY) Camino Real/Metro 4
bound and Amy got into Columbia. The day before graduation, Molly finds that classmates she originally dismissed as losers, hookers, and stoners also got into top schools. For the rest of the day, Molly and Amy are determined to change their high school narratives and chase down party after party to prove that they too are both smart and fun. By breaking high school stereotypes and cultural assumptions, traditionally underrepresented voices and identities are not only less marginalized, they are embraced. It is this background that makes it possible to empower young women like Molly and Amy to take risks and explore the nuances of coming of age. (EC) Paseo Nuevo
➤ O Godzilla: King of the Monsters (132 mins., PG-13) The world is doomed. Giant monsters from the mists and myths have clambered into view and are fighting tooth, nail, and typhoon-blasting wing to claim the planet in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The computer-generated creatures (Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, King Ghidorah) appear alongside a group of human actors equally well recognized for their larger-than-life roles—from Eleven in Stranger Things (Millie Bobby Brown) to Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) to the dweeb-in-chief of Silicon
John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum (131 mins., R) Keanu Reeves reprises his role as John Wick, a notorious hitman, for this third installment of the franchise. In this film, Wick has a $14 million contract on his head and so becomes the target for assassins from around the globe. Halle Berry and Laurence Fishburne also star. Camino Real/Metro 4
Ma (99 mins., R) Octavia Spencer stars as the titular Ma, a recluse who begins offering her home as a place for local teens to party. What begins as a dream for the young revelers turns into a nightmare of horrific proportions. Luke Evans, Juliette Lewis, and Missi Pyle also star.
Camino Real/Fiesta 5
Rocketman (121 mins., R) Taron Egerton stars as Elton John in this biopic/musical about the singer/songwriter’s early years at the Royal Academy of Music and eventual partnership with lyricist Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell).

MAURY ORNEST RULED THE DIAMOND AND EASEL W
hen a team has a burst of success that puts it on a national stage, as UCSB’s baseball team did this spring, it prompts memories of seasons and characters that stand out in the history of that team. Bernie Massey and Florie Kemper-Bunzel thought of Maury Ornest, who in 1980 was UCSB’s highest pick in the major league draft up to that time — a third-round selection (76th overall) by the Milwaukee Brewers. Ornest is still among the Gauchos’ top 10 hitters with a .363 career batting average. Massey was Ornest’s roommate in Isla Vista, and Kemper-Bunzel was his girlfriend. They remember him as more than a slugging third baseman. “He was gregarious, hilarious, a great storyteller, and not shy of anything or any moment,” Massey said. “Just a great and talented guy on and off the field,” said Kemper-Bunzel. One of his talents became manifest in a big way earlier this year, when Mo’s Show: A Celebration of the Life and Work of Maury Ornest was held in Beverly Hills. On display were hundreds of paintings by Ornest that were discovered after he died last year, at age 58, from heart disease. He expressed whimsy and joy in his creations — for instance, combining baseballs and flying fish — while struggling with mental illness for several decades. “He was too afraid to show his art, but he hoped someone would own it,” said Laura Ornest, Maury’s sister, who organized the show. It was a solid hit, she said, raising more than $80,000 for charity and placing more than 250 paintings in offices and homes, including those of Massey and Kemper-Bunzel. MO’S LEGACY: While he struggled with mental My own recollection of Maury Ornest was stirred by illness years after his career as a ballplayer, a piece in the L.A.

Former UCSB Baseball Star Remembered for His Art and Smile he does not win it, because another finalist is Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman, who was chosen No. 1 overall by the Baltimore Orioles in this week’s major league draft. HONORS GALORE: If it seems as though UCSB and
Westmont College are high achievers on the field of play, the accolades bestowed on them by their respective conferences confirm it. UCSB has been awarded its 10th Big West Commissioner’s Cup — the most garnered by any member school — and Westmont received its seventh consecutive Golden State Athletic Conference All-Sports Award. The honors signify that each college had the best overall sports standings among their conference peers in 2019. The Gauchos and Warriors put a high value on their athletes’ academic standing as well. This is borne out by the Golden Eagle Awards, which community activists Pete and Gerd Jordano sponsor at an annual banquet they host for each school. They started with UCSB 32 years ago. Among the Gauchos’ 20 Golden Eagle winners this year is track-and-field athlete Hope Bender, who carries a 3.75 grade-point average in biological sciences. She is a contender in the heptathlon at this weekend’s NCAA Championships in Austin, Texas. Westmont had a married couple among its academic champions: Dana Nemitz, who won the NAIA outdoor title in the women’s pole vault, and Jackson Nemitz, who placed sixth in the decathlon. (Pieter Top, a Westmont junior, won his second consecutive national title in the 10-eventer). VAQUERO LEGENDS: Santa
Barbara City College recently inaugurated the Vaqueros Hall of Fame by inducting seven individuals: Booker Brown (football lineman who went on the USC and the San Diego Chargers); the late Gary Woods (baseball star who played nine years in the majors); Marina Gomez (volleyball, basketball, track and field); Debbie Ekola (tennis player and longtime SBCC instructor); the late Bud Revis (pioneer athletic coach and administrator); Bob Dinaberg (22year athletic director and football coach who won eight conference titles); and Pat Moorhouse (coach of 19 title-winning teams in women’s volleyball and tennis). Current SBCC achievements include tennis standout Maddie Mitchell’s being named the national winner of the Arthur Ashe Jr. Leadership & Sportsmanship Award. The Vaquero women’s basketball team had five players named to the Academic All-State Team. Aaliyah Pauling and Lei Talaro received merit-based scholarships from La Verne University, and Maaria Jaakkola earned an academic scholarship from UC Berkeley. Mitch Wishnowsky, an all-state punter for SBCC in 2014 and a three-time All-American at Utah, was chosen in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. n

hear the same song sung exactly the same way more than once in a lifetime,” says poet Linh Dinh. That’s an extreme statement that I can’t agree with. But I understand what he’s driving at. Repeating yourself can be debilitating, even deadening. That includes trying to draw inspiration from the same old sources that have worked for you in the past. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you try to minimize exact repetition in the next two weeks: both in what you express and what you absorb. For further motivation, here’s William S. Burroughs: “Truth may appear only once; it may not be repeatable.”
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Peter Benchley wrote the best-sell-
ing book Jaws, which was later turned into a popular movie. It’s the story of a great white shark that stalks and kills people in a small beach town. Later in his life, the Taurus author was sorry for its influence, which helped legitimize human predation on sharks and led to steep drops in shark populations. To atone, Benchley became an aggressive advocate for shark conservation. If there’s any behavior in your own past that you regret, Taurus, the coming weeks will be a good time to follow Benchley’s lead: Correct for your mistakes; make up for your ignorance; do good deeds to balance a time when you acted unconsciously.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some birds can fly for days without
coming down to earth. Alpine swifts are the current record holders, staying aloft for 200 consecutive days as they chase and feed on insects over West Africa. I propose we make the swift your soul ally for the next three weeks. May it help inspire you to take maximum advantage of the opportunities life will be offering you. You will have extraordinary power to soar over the maddening crowd, gaze at the big picture of your life, and enjoy exceptional amounts of freedom.
disarmingly and captivatingly attractive qualities there are,” writes poet Nayyirah Waheed. That will be emphatically true about you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Your poised, deeply felt gentleness will accord you as much power as other people might draw from ferocity and grandeur. Your gentleness will enable you to crumble obstacles and slip past barriers. It will energize you to capitalize on and dissipate chaos. It will win you leverage that you’ll be able to use for months.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is the Loch Ness monster real? Is there
a giant sea serpent that inhabits the waters of Loch Ness in Scotland? Tantalizing hints arise now and then, but no definitive evidence has ever emerged. In 1975, enterprising investigators got the idea to build a realistic-looking papier-mâché companion for Nessie and place it in Loch Ness. They hoped that this “honey trap” would draw the reclusive monster into more public view. Alas, the HOMEWORK: scheme went awry. (Lady Nessie got
ent it? One? Two? More? I’m sure you already know that gaining the ability to speak more than one tongue makes you smarter and more empathetic. It expands your capacity to express yourself vividly and gives you access to many interesting people who think differently from you. I mention this, Libra, because you’re in a phase of your cycle when learning a new language might be easier than usual, as is improving your mastery of a second or third language. If none of that’s feasible for you, I urge you to at least formulate an intention to speak your main language with greater candor and precision — and find other ways to expand your ability to express yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Here’s Uruguayan writer Eduardo
Galeano from The Book of Embraces: “In the River Plate basin we call the heart a ‘bobo,’ a fool. And not because it falls in love. We call it a fool because it works so hard.” I To connect with bring this to your attention, Scorpio, me on social media, go here: damaged when she ran into a jetty.) because I hope that in the coming freewillastrology.com/social weeks, your heart will indeed be a But it did have some merit. Is there hardworking, wisely foolish bobo. an equivalent approach you might The astrological omens suggest that employ to generate more evidence and insight about one of your big mysteries, Leo? What you will learn what you need to learn and attract the strategies might you experiment with? The time is right experiences you need to attract if you do just that. Life to hatch a plan. is giving you a mandate to express daring and diligent actions in behalf of love.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Earlier in your life, you sometimes
wrestled with dilemmas that didn’t deserve so much of your time and energy. They weren’t sufficiently essential to invoke the best use of your intelligence. But over the years, you have ripened in your ability to attract more useful and interesting problems. Almost imperceptibly, you have been growing smarter about recognizing which riddles are worth exploring and which are better left alone. Here’s the really good news: The questions and challenges you face now are among the finest you’ve ever had. You are being afforded prime opportunities to grow in wisdom and effectiveness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When he was 20 years old, a Ger-
man student named Max Planck decided he wanted to study physics. His professor at the University of Munich dissuaded him, telling Planck, “In this field, almost everything is already discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few unimportant holes.” Planck ignored the bad advice and ultimately went on to win a Nobel Prize in Physics for his role in formulating quantum theory. Most of us have had a similar experience: people who’ve tried to convince us to reject our highest calling and strongest dreams. In my view, the
coming weeks will be a potent time for you to recover and heal from those deterrents and discouragements in your own past.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Not all, but many horoscope columns
address your ego rather than your soul. They provide useful information for your surface self, but little help for your deep self. If you’ve read my oracles for a while, you know that I aspire to be in the latter category. In that light, you won’t be surprised when I say that the most important thing you can do in the coming weeks is to seek closer communion with your soul; to explore your core truths; to focus on delight, fulfillment, and spiritual meaning far more than on status, power, and wealth. As you attend to your playful work, meditate on this counsel from Capricorn author John O’Donohue: “The geography of your destiny is always clearer to the eye of your soul than to the intentions and needs of your surface mind.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian biochemist Gertrude Belle
Elion shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1988. She was instrumental in devising new drugs to treat AIDS and herpes, as well as a medication to facilitate organ transplants. And yet she accomplished all this without ever earning a PhD or MD, a highly unusual feat. I suspect you may pull off a similar, if slightly less spectacular, feat in the coming weeks: getting a reward or blessing despite a lack of formal credentials or official credibility.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Today, Mumbai is a megacity with
12.5 million people on 233 square miles. But as late as the 18th century, it consisted of seven sparsely populated islands. Over many decades, reclamation projects turned them into a single land mass. I foresee you undertaking a metaphorically comparable project during the coming months. You could knit fragments together into a whole. You have the power to transform separate and dispersed influences into a single, coordinated influence. You could inspire unconnected things to unite in common cause.

The incident, which is the subject of this action, occurred on August 7, 2017 at approximately 2:38p.m., in the City of Thousand Oaks, within the County of Ventura, State of California. 15. On August 7, 2017, at approximately 2:38p.m., Decedent FILOSO drove and operated his motorcycle, a 2006 Harley Davidson Heritage, northbound on Highway US 101 (Ventura Freeway), approximately 865 feet south of Rancho Conejo Boulevard, in the City of Thousand Oaks, County of Ventura, State of California. 16. Highway US 101 is a northbound‑southbound highway with direction of travel separated by a center median. The section of Highway US 101 where the instant collision occurred has four lanes for each direction of traffic. 17. On August 7, 2017, at approximately 2:38p.m., Decedent FILOSO lawfully drove his motorcycle northbound on the number one lane of northbound Highway US 101, approximately 865 feet south of Rancho Conejo Boulevard. 18. At said time, weather conditions were clear, and the roadway was dry. 19. At the same time, Defendant PHAM drove her 2016 Honda in the number one lane on northbound Highway US 101, approximately 865 feet south of Rancho Conejo Boulevard. Defendant PHAM’S vehicle was situated two vehicles ahead of Decedent FILOSO’S vehicle, separated by a gray pick‑up truck. 20. At said time, Decedent FILOSO was driving his motorcycle and was sufficiently, safely, and reasonably spaced behind the gray pick‑up truck. Upon information and belief, Defendant PHAM failed to keep a reasonably safe distance between her vehicle and the vehicle immediately ahead of hers for traffic conditions. 21. Immediately thereafter, traffic came to a complete stop, and Defendant PHAM slammed on her brakes to prevent a collision with the car ahead of her, forcing the gray pick‑up truck to take immediate action to avoid a collision and maneuvered and veered into the lane to the right (number 2 lane). During this sequence, Decedent FILOSO was unable to perceive Defendant PHAM’S stopping vehicle due to the profile of the gray pick‑up truck and the movement of said vehicle and subsequently came into contact and struck the rear left portion of Defendant PHAM’S vehicle. 22. Defendant PHAM failed to safely space her vehicle and to safely and reasonably stop her vehicle and was forced to unreasonably and unsafely slam on her brakes given traffic conditions. Defendant PHAM’S operational actions in this sequence created a chain reaction whereby the gray pick‑up truck barely avoided collision with her car but trapped Decedent FILOSO into the subject collision with Defendant PHAM’S vehicle. Decedent FILOSO did not have sufficient time to safely apply his brakes or to fully avoid PHAM’S vehicle to the left or right of her vehicle immediately before the subject collision. 23. At the time, Defendant PHAM was driving at unsafe speeds given traffic conditions, i.e. slowing or stopped traffic, was driving too close to the vehicle ahead of her vehicle and was inattentive to other vehicles in front of them. 24. Decedent FILOSO sustained severe and fatal injuries as a result of the collision. Specifically, Decedent FILOSO was separated from his motorcycle upon impact and he sustained blunt force head trauma. Decedent FILOSO was lawfully wearing
a helmet at the time of the collision. On August 17, 2017, Decedent FILOSO ultimately died from the injuries sustained in this collision. 25. On August 7, 2017, at approximately 2:38p.m., Defendant PHAM drove and operated her vehicle in a negligent manner, which caused the collision between her vehicle and that of Decedent FILOSO’S motorcycle as Defendant PHAM drove at an unsafe speed northbound in the number one lane of Highway US 101. Defendant PHAM failed to operate her vehicle in a reasonable, prudent, and safe manner, which caused the collision with Decedent FILOSO’S motorcycle. 26. On August 7, 2017 at approximately 2:38p.m., Defendant PHAM drove and operated her vehicle in a negligent, careless, and reckless manner, driving her vehicle inattentively and at an unsafe speed, failing to stop in a reasonably safe manner, and operating her vehicle unreasonably considering all factors such as weather, traffic, visibility, and other related matters as PHAM traveled northbound on Highway US 101. 27. As a driver of a motor vehicle, Defendant PHAM owed a duty to her fellow motorists and to the public at large to exercise reasonable care in the operation of her motor vehicle, to keep a look out for other vehicles, and to reasonably control the speed and movement of her vehicle. 28. Defendant PHAM failed to use reasonable care by operating her vehicle negligently, by failing to reasonably control the movement of her vehicle, by failing to drive at a speed that is safe for slowing traffic conditions, by failing to be attentive to the traffic conditions and other vehicles on the road around her, and by failing to properly maintain her vehicle in a safe manner for the road. As such, Defendant PHAM failed and was unable to prevent her vehicle from causing the collision with Decedent FILOSO’S motorcycle. 29. As a direct and proximate result of the negligence of Defendant PHAM, Decedent FILOSO sustained severe injuries, and died from those injuries. FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION WRONGFUL DEATH (As Against All Defendants PHAM and DOES 1‑50) 30. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate by reference every allegation contained in paragraphs 1 through 29 as through fully set forth herein. 31. Plaintiffs ANTHONY and DOMENIC are the heirs of Decedent FILOSO and are entitled to maintain an action for damages against Defendants for the wrongful death of Decedent FILOSO, including but not limited to damages as set forth in C.C.P. Section 377.61. 32. As a result of the injuries to and death of Decedent FILOSO, Plaintiffs are entitled to damages, including, but not limited to: loss of Decedent’s respective love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, affection, society, moral support, and loss of Decedent’s respective training and guidance. Additionally, Plaintiffs are entitled to recover damages, including, but not limited to: any special damages, such as financial support that the Decedent would have contributed to the family during either the life expectancy that Decedent had before his 1 death or the life expectancy of the Plaintiffs, whichever is shorter; loss of gifts or benefits that Plaintiffs would have expected to receive from the Decedent; funeral and burial expenses; and the reasonable value of household services that Decedent would have provided. 33. As a direct and proximate result of the wrongful death of Decedent FILOSO, Plaintiffs ANTHONY and DOMENIC sustained pecuniary loss resulting in the loss of society comfort, attention, services, and support from Decedent FILOSO. 34. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant PRAM’S negligence and the death of Decedent FILOSO, Plaintiffs incurred funeral and burial expenses, as well as suffering extreme and severe emotional distress, pain, anguish, and other economic and non‑economic damages in amounts to be proven at trial. SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION NEGLIGENCE (As Against All Defendants PHAM and DOES 1‑50) 35. Plaintiffs reallege and incorporate by reference every allegation contained paragraphs 1 through 34 as though fully set forth herein. 36. Defendants PHAM, and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, owed Decedent FILOSO a legal duty to use reasonable care and caution when driving on public roadways, including but not

LEGALS
limited to keeping a lookout for other vehicles, controlling the speed and movement of their vehicles, following other vehicles at a distance that is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of other vehicles on the roadway, the traffic on the roadway, and the condition of the roadway. 37. Defendants PHAM, and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, breached that duty of care by failing to operate their vehicles in a safe and reasonable manner. Defendants PHAM and DOES 1 through 50, knew, or should have known, that driving at an unsafe speed for slowing and stopped traffic would result in serious injury or death Decedent FILOSO and others on the roadway. 38. Defendants PHAM and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, failed to take reasonable and necessary precautions while operating their vehicles before and at the time of the collision on northbound Highway US 101 on August 7, 2017 at approximately 2:38 p.m. 39. On August 7, 2017, at approximately 2:38p.m., Defendants PHAM and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, negligently drove and operated their vehicles so as to proximately cause the injuries to and wrongful death of Decedent FILOSO and statutory damages alleged by Plaintiffs ANTHONY and DOMENIC herein. 40. In contrast, at said time and place, Decedent FILOSO was acting with due caution, attention and care, and did not contribute to or cause the collision and/or injuries as described hereinafter. 41. Plaintiffs allege that Defendant PHAM is responsible for all injuries and eventual death of Decedent FILOSO sustained as a result of the accident. 42. Defendant PHAM failed to use reasonable care by operating her vehicle negligently, by failing to reasonably control the movement of her vehicle, by failing to drive at a speed that is safe for slowing traffic conditions, by failing to be attentive to the traffic conditions and other vehicles on the road around her, and by failing to properly maintain her vehicles in a safe manner or the road. As such, Defendant PHAM failed and was unable to prevent her vehicle from causing the collision with Decedent FILOSO’S motorcycle. 43. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant PHAM’S negligence, Decedent FILOSO was seriously injured after the motor vehicle collision caused by Defendant PHAM and DOES 1 through 50. Decedent FILOSO thereafter died as a result of these injuries. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs ANTHONY FILOSO and DOMENIC FILOSO, individually, and as Successors‑In‑Interest on behalf of Decedent KENNETH FILOSO, pray for judgment against Defendant LILIAN AI LY PHAM and DOES I through I 00 as follows: I.

Beneficial Project Fee Resolution NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN the City Council will conduct a public hearing on a Resolution establishing a list of Beneficial Projects that may be eligible to receive reductions to certain Development Impact Fees. The date, time, and location of the public hearing are as follows: HEARING DATE AND TIME:
Tuesday, June 18, 2019 @ 6:00PM
HEARING LOCATION:
City of Goleta City Hall Council Chambers 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, CA 93117
PROJECT LOCATION: The proposed list of Beneficial Projects would apply citywide, including areas of the City within the Coastal Zone. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A summary of the major provisions of the Resolution includes establishment of Beneficial Projects Categories potentially eligible for reduction or waiver of Development Impact Fees (DIFs) otherwise required as condition of project approval, as authorized by the City’s DIF ordinance, to what categories of development impact fees beneficial project reductions apply, what categories of projects are considered “beneficial” and therefore eligible for a DIF reduction or waiver, the approval process for DIF reductions, and by what percentage should DIFs be reduced for each beneficial project category. Reducing or waiving DIFs encourages or removes barriers to certain categories of development considered to be beneficial. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The City’s action to adopt the DIF Beneficial Projects Resolution is statutorily exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15273, which states that CEQA does not apply to “the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges by public agencies . . . for the purpose of: (1) Meeting operating expenses, . . . (4) Obtaining funds for capital projects, necessary to maintain minimum service within existing service areas” and CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which exempts activities where it can be seen with certainty there is no possibility of having a significant effect on the environment. PUBLIC COMMENT: All interested persons are encouraged to attend the public hearing and to present written and/or oral comments. Written submittals concerning agenda items may be sent to the City Clerk Group e-mail: cityclerkgroup@cityofgoleta.org; or mail: Attn: City Council and City Clerk at 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, California 93117.
