S.O.S. MISSION CREEK BRIDGE S.O.S Mission Creek Bridge Poised for Demolition by the City of Santa Barbara

SAVE MISSION CREEK BRIDGE!

Mission Creek Bridge is threatened with demolition. One of the iconic structures of our area--a locally, statewide, and nationally recognized historic resource--is proposed for demolition and reconstruction. It is vital for members of the community to become Involved now in order to save historic Mission Creek Bridge. Mission Creek Bridge was originally constructed in 1891 and has experienced no structural issues or ever been damaged by earthquake or flood. The most recent Federal Bridge Inspection Report makes no recommendation for replacement. There is no reason to tear the existing Mission Creek Bridge down. The Mission Creek Bridge and Mission Canyon Road corridor already meet “Vision Zero” goals, which means there have been no major accidents or traffic fatalities. The existing road alignment slows traffic down, and is safer for pedestrians and bicyclists than a wider and reconfigured bridge and road that would speed traffic up would be.

The City of Santa Barbara should not tear historic Mission Creek Bridge down. Each of the three proposals currently under consideration by the City would transform the existing Mission Creek Bridge beyond recognition. Mature sycamore trees in Mission Creek would be cut down under all proposals, and other trees and vegetation would be removed. In two of the proposals, the creek bank would be deeply impacted. The steelhead trout habitat would be compromised. Sycamore trees on Mission Canyon Road would be cut down.

What You Can Do:

Send a letter to the City Council: SBCityCouncil@santabarbaraca.gov Sign the MoveOn Petition “Help Us Save the Historic Mission Creek Bridge” Send a letter to the editor: letters@independent.com voices@newspress.com news@noozhawk.com Cut & Send

Join the Coalition to Preserve Mission Canyon Name

Preserving our historic Mission Creek Bridge and the natural environment adjacent to it is vital to future generations. There is no safety or other reason to demolish Mission Creek Bridge and build a bigger and wider bridge. The new bridge would not become “historic” by affixing stones from the existing bridge to a new and much larger bridge.

Address

The proposals for a second arch under a new bridge or a new arch that would be approximately twice as wide as the existing one would be completely unhistoric. The existing stone parapet walls flanking the bridge would be reconfigured and raised in height. Historic stone walls adjacent to existing Mission Creek Bridge, including the “stegosaurus” wall, would be breached and reconfigured. Existing spatial relationships and the cultural landscape would be very significantly altered.

Enclosed is my contribution of $

Now is the time to act to preserve Mission Creek Bridge for future generations. Historic Mission Creek Bridge is irreplaceable.

COVERING THE CUNNINGHAMS After years of spilling ink elsewhere, Victor Bryant joined the ranks of the Independent in the summer of 2018, teaming up with our longtime sportswriter, John Zant, as well as Bryant’s wife, our publisher Brandi Rivera. Recently named as the interim communications director for SBCC, Bryant managed to find just enough time as a father and sports fan to write this week’s cover story.

TABLE of CONTENTS

volume 35, # 805, June 17-24, 2021

Did you know the Cunningham saga before reporting it? I was definitely aware that Randall went to Santa Barbara High, and I was vaguely aware of Sam Cunningham, but I didn’t know they were brothers or the entire family legacy. What was most surprising? Probably the time I spent with Anthony Cunningham. He gave a perspective of Santa Barbara and his brothers that gave me great background for the rest of the story. He lives in town, and people probably don’t realize his unique life experience when they pass him on the street. Will your son, Elijah, be the next Randall? I don’t think anyone with my genes could ever be as athletic as Randall Cunningham. He is a once-in-a-generation unicorn. But I look forward to making the most of Eli’s natural talents and helping him pursue the things he is interested in to the best of his ability.

CORONAVIRUS

COVID SHUTDOWN ENDS

COMMUNITY

by Nick Welsh fter 453 consecutive days on various degrees of state-ordered, pandemicinspired emergency restrictions, Santa Barbara County Public Health officials breathed a collective sigh of relief this Tuesday and notified the public — via the county supervisors — that the days of mandatory mask-wearing and social distancing are over and done with. Thanks to an edict issued months ago by Governor Gavin Newsom, June 15 marked the first day of the county’s “journey to full recovery,” in the words of Public Health Director Van Do-Reynoso. The underlying regulatory realities are, of course, far more complicated, with enough exceptions to the rules to keep a flock of attorneys fully employed. Everyone, for example, must still wear masks on all planes, trains, public buses, and ridesharing vehicles. All K-12 students must wear masks indoors whether they’ve been fully vaccinated or not. At all mega events — defined as 5,000 people indoors or 10,000 outside — masks must be worn. And private

As California lifted many COVID-19 restrictions 6/15, Old Spanish Days officials gathered at the Old Mission to announce that Fiesta is returning to Santa Barbara. This year’s festivities will not include the mercados or the equestrian parade, but Fiesta Pequeña, Noches de Ronda, Tardes de Ronda, and the rodeo are all coming back this year. Fiesta carries the theme “Honoring Our Generations” for 2021 and will run 8/4-8/8. Full story at independent.com/fiesta-returns.

TRANSPORTATION The California Coastal Commission voted to allow electric-bike-sharing company BCycle to set up docks and two kiosks along the city’s waterfront, in the Funk Zone, and on Coast Village Road. In so doing, it made short shrift of an appeal filed by Anna Marie Gott over ocean-view impacts and lack of publicinput opportunities. Making the motion to approve the program was S.B. City Councilmember Meagan Harmon, serving for her first time as the newest member of the commission. Full story at independent. com/BCycle-at-CCC.

Supes Deny $500K Request for Cultural Resource Center DAN I EL D R E I FUSS FI L E PHOTO

Healing Justice Shot Down for Second Time in Two Weeks

‘DOING THE WORK’: “We come to you today because Juneteenth in its entirety has not been realized and an investment from you is still lacking,” Healing Justice cofounder Simone Ruskamp told county supervisors Tuesday.

by Delaney Smith he Santa Barbara County Supervisors denied Healing Justice their request for $500,000 for an AfricanAmerican Black Cultural Resource Center — the second time the group has been denied by a government body in two weeks. The organization had first asked the Santa Barbara City Council for the $500,000 to pay for two years of rent. But the requests were not on either of the meeting agendas and were denied. The cultural resource center, members of Healing Justice said, would be a place to preserve Black history, Black joy, and highlight Black artists, among other services. The request for the funding came directly after both the Santa Maria NAACP and Healing Justice gave presentations to the supervisors on the work they’ve been doing in the community and around Juneteenth celebrations and activities. Healing Justice’s work over the past year

With its partner Federal Express, Goleta-based Direct Relief will be delivering 1.75 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine to several countries hit hard by the pandemic — 1.35 million of them donations from the U.S. Paraguay, which had 390 new cases per million people last Friday, compared to 46 per million in the U.S., is on the destination list, as are Mexico, Belize, and Bolivia. Full story at independent.com/direct-relief-vax. A Santa Barbara County resident won $1.5 million during the state’s final Vax for the Win drawing on 6/15. Hosted by Gov. Gavin Newsom and held at Universal Studios amid cheesy gameshow music and a coterie of Minions in 98-degree heat, the drawing doled out a total of $15 million to 10 COVID-vaccinated Californians, who were only identified by their home county. Among the winners were four from Los Angeles and one each from Stanislaus, Riverside, Sacramento, Marin, Ventura, and Santa Barbara.

POLITICS Downtown developer and city planning commissioner Barrett Reed announced he is running for S.B. City Council this November. Reed will be challenging District 4 incumbent Kristen Sneddon, who represents much of the Riviera and Mission Canyon. A former Republican and now a decline to state, Reed lamented, “Santa Barbara is not what it once was nor is it what it should be,” and he pledged to help “the truly homeless” while cracking down on what he termed “the lawless element.” Full story at independent.com/barrett-reed.

COURTS & CRIME The District Attorney’s Office warns consumers against using the website latapatia3ca.club, which is masquerading as Goleta restaurant La Tapatia on Hollister Avenue. The webpage is a fake, the DA’s Office states, and though it appears to take orders and credit card information, the order is never sent to the restaurant.

“We really don’t have $500,000 to give,” Mayor Murillo said. “No matter what, we really just don’t have it.” Instead, councilmembers Oscar Gutierrez and Kristen Sneddon will work with both Healing Justice and the county to find funding and a location for the center. “I mean, we saw that they approved over $90,000 to Fiestas, a celebration of colonialism and genocide against people in our community, against Indigenous folks. We saw that they approved youth programming through the police department,” said Healing Justice cofounder Simone Ruskamp. “All of these different things that they were able to do, and they approved all of those things without question.”

DEMANDS

Healing Justice issued its demands in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. Nearly 3,000 people marched in the streets in a protest led by Healing Justice cofounders. Two of the demands called for transparency and accountability from the Santa Barbara Police Department (SBPD) and the county Sheriff’s Office. A major push in that direction is the Community Formation Commission, established by the City Council to explore different civilian police review systems and give the City Council a final recommendation in March 2022 of what model of an oversight body to choose. “Thanks to Healing Justice, the City Council was really intentional about making sure that [the commission] was as diverse as possible, including age, life experience, work experience, abilities,” said Gabe Escobedo, commission chair. “It is by far the most diverse commission or board in the city. And it shows in our meetings and in what people are bringing to the table and what sort of topics are getting brought up.” And although the members of Healing Justice are grateful for a step in the right direction, they made it clear this is only the beginning of transparency from the SBPD.

GAUCHO STRONG: “You already have in your young lives created a legacy of resilience,” Oprah Winfrey told UCSB’s Class of 2021 on Saturday.

Oprah Addresses UCSB Grads

prah Winfrey addressed UC Santa Barbara’s 2021 undergraduate class of 4,680 on Saturday morning during her keynote speech, focusing on all the class has endured through the pandemic. “You’ll be telling the story to your grandchildren, the story of surviving a global health crisis, of thriving and graduating during a pandemic,” Winfrey said. “You already have in your young lives created a legacy of resilience. “You met every obstacle head-on time and again. I know many of you wanted to give up; sometimes you didn’t even want to get out of bed. That remote learning thing has worn you out. But all the while, you were building strength.” Winfrey’s message was on par with Chancellor Henry Yang, who reflected on not just the pandemic but also the Thomas Fire and subsequent debris flow that hit during this class’s freshman year. “The same passion and optimism that helped you face these challenges will serve you tremendously as you

embark on life’s next chapter,” Yang said. Winfrey’s greatest piece of advice to the graduates was one she has had great success with herself.

HEALTH After Santa Maria–based Lags Medical Centers closed 29 of its California locations in May, patients who had sought help for debilitating pain were suddenly without support. An element of their treatment was likely to be opioids, which are highly useful in attempting to alleviate pain but carry a downside of physical addiction.

nthony Wagner, the former Santa Barbara police spokesperson and retail cannabis regulator at the center of a tantalizing but ultimately inaccurate Los Angeles Magazine article by screenwriter Mitchell Kriegman, is demanding a retraction and $4.6 million in damages and attorney fees. The seven-page letter was sent June 11 by Wagner’s attorney, Michele B. Friend, to magazine president and publisher Shelby Russell. Should Russell fail to respond, a lawsuit is likely to be filed. “Mr. Kriegman and LA Magazine paint a shocking, cinematic picture for a reader to believe that Mr. Wagner is like a mobster with a history of corruption who was not fit to be hired but mysteriously got the job through an improper relationship with a female supervisor … and that he misused his position to gain valuable cannabis licenses for his friends,” the letter stated. The focal point of the March 12 piece was a not-so-veiled accusation that Wagner gave special treatment to a retail cannabis applicant with whom he’d previously worked. That allegation turned out to be false, and a Santa Barbara Police Department investigation exonerated Wagner of any wrongdoing.

Speaking for the publication, Editor in Chief Maer Roshan pointed to comments he’d made in a May 21 article. “Santa Barbara’s complex relationship with the cannabis industry is a fraught subject that triggers a vocal response every time we cover it,” he said. Kriegman’s piece — which included a typo in the opening paragraph that described Santa Barbara as a “gentile” rather than “genteel” community—“underwent a succession of edits and a rigorous fact-check before it was published,” Roshan claimed. He said the magazine quickly corrected the allegation that “inaccurately linked Wagner to a local cannabis owner,” but “aside from that, there were no significant factual mis—Tyler Hayden takes in our piece.”

HEALING JUSTICE UPDATE CONT’D FROM P. 8 “What I need the community to know is that we don’t have to have a Formation Commission,” Ruskamp said. “The City Council could have moved to just say, ‘We will have oversight, and we will have it now.’ Instead, what City Council moved to do was have a Formation Commission to say, ‘We will talk about it, think about it, and then once the Formation Commission gives us a recommendation, we’ll consider if we will accept.’ ” Escobedo said the commission is looking at Santa Barbara–specific data and needs as well as what sort of oversight bodies have been developed in other communities. The goal, he said, is for people who may feel uncomfortable going to the police—such as undocumented people or someone making a complaint about a police officer—to have a place to go outside of the police department. Building an outside entity would build community trust, he said. The Sheriff’s Office declined to build any type of civilian oversight board. Healing Justice also demanded the preservation of Black landmarks, “rather than monuments to white supremacy.” The Historic Landmarks Commission voted to make St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church a city landmark and Second Baptist Church a structure of merit — both wins for Healing Justice. A landmark is the highest designation in the city. St. Paul was the first African-American church in Santa Barbara. “[St. Paul] was built in 1916 in the carpenter Gothic style,” said the city’s Urban Historian Nicole Hernandez, who worked with

Healing Justice to designate the churches. “African-American and Black churches were just really critical for the Black community as a real sense of their own place. So it’s really one of the most important institutions in the African-American culture.” Hernandez said that she and members of Healing Justice are now working on a historical context statement. Some of the buildings Healing Justice pointed out as containing Black history don’t fit the traditional, historic criteria to be designated, like the Lincoln School, which has since been torn down and can’t be designated. Hernandez said they have applied for a grant to craft the historical context statement —a written comprehensive history of the community. At the end, they will identify the buildings that can be designated to represent that history. One of the more immediate demands that were met was for ongoing institutional support for Juneteenth. The city designated $35,000 to Juneteenth annually. The money goes directly to Juneteenth S.B., a separate group from Healing Justice, though several of the members overlap. Jones-Bisquera was proud of the many events Healing Justice and Juneteenth S.B. are putting on, but she was particularly proud of their art gallery called Melanin at 833 State Street. “As far as what we have done with the money for Juneteenth, despite all these barriers these white folks keep putting up for us, we have been able to create pure magic, Black excellence,” Jones-Bisquera said. n

BEACH REPORT: A new draft report examines the pros and cons of public-access options for Hollister Ranch’s six prized beaches.

Shuttles, Cars, or Trails? State Offers Menu of Options for Hollister Ranch Beach Access

by Tyler Hayden

smorgasbord of options for opening Hollister Ranch’s six prized beaches to the public was unveiled this week, marking the first time in the decadeslong debate over access that concrete proposals are being openly discussed. The menu is part of a 49-page Draft Conceptual Program published last Thursday by the California Coastal Commission, one of four state agencies tasked with negotiating and formulating a final plan. A public Zoom workshop to review the report and solicit feedback was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. this Wednesday, past the Independent’s print deadline. View the recording at coastal .ca.gov and submit comments to hollister @coastal.ca.gov. The draft program offers three main methods by which people might cut across the private ranch, a 14,000-acre working cattle operation and one of the last undeveloped sections of Southern California shoreline, to reach the public beaches below its steep coastal bluffs—by shuttle, car, or trail, all either independently or guided. Each option has its own distinct set of pros and cons, the report states, including environmental impacts, costs and infrastructure needs, interactions with Chumash cultural sites, and effects on homeowners. A free or low-cost shuttle service, for instance, would provide the most equitable access to the beaches, which the Coastal Commission notes more than once are a public resource to be enjoyed by all. It might also be the safest, as shuttle drivers would be familiar with the hazards of the ranch’s only road, including its sharp turns and drops and frequent obstruction by cattle. But funding could be a problem, the agency acknowledged, as even in State Parks with very high visitor numbers, user fees are generally not enough to cover costs. Drive-in access by personal car would be the most flexible and inclusive for visitors of varying physical abilities, the commission continued. But the necessary parking and traffic-control measures would also likely represent the heaviest impacts to private property and coastal resources. A multi-use trail system for hikers, bicyclists, and equestrians would give users an up-close and personal view of the ranch’s ruggedly beautiful terrain. Enhanced access

rights from multiple owners would be required, however, and steep topography might make construction especially difficult and expensive, the commission said. The various proposals are sure to elicit a range of reactions from both Hollister residents and members of the public eager to visit the virtually untouched stretch of coast. Some will say the state goes too far with its ideas. Others will say it doesn’t go far enough. For his part, Ed De La Rosa, board chair of the Hollister Ranch Owners’ Association, called the draft report “a pretty ambitious vision” for the future of the historic property. But he said he appreciated the state’s recognition of how “biologically and geographically special the Ranch really is,” especially taken alongside the adjacent Dangermond Preserve. “It represents a huge wildlife corridor,” he said. De La Rosa was also encouraged by the consideration of the region’s many Chumash sites and the Coastal Commission’s clearly stated mission to introduce members of underserved communities to the wonders of nature. Most significantly, he said, the agency acknowledged how important ongoing conversations with the property owners remain. “The state, to its credit, points out a lot of logistical considerations that they need to talk to homeowners about,” he said. Doug Kern, director of the Gaviota Coast Conservancy and a member of the draft proposal’s working group, said he was “really actually optimistic” about how the report will be received, “given all the potential for difficulty.” On every side of the debate are “different personalities and interests and significant tensions,” yet “everyone is doing their best to thread a needle here,” Kern said. “I give everyone credit for coming to the table.” The road ahead remains long, Kern continued, with any new overland access still likely a year or two out, especially with the delays to the process that the pandemic brought. Whatever final form the plan takes, it will be “limited, managed, and not hugely expensive,” Kern assured, and nothing will be set in stone given the unforeseen challenges that come from working with Mother Nature, “who always bats last.” “We will try everything in a careful way,” he said, “see what happens, and make adjustments.” n

Lessons Learned from Loma Fire

TAYDEN TOMB LI N

handful of high-ranking city officials met with about 80 lower Westside residents on Saturday to address their lingering concerns over last month’s Loma Fire. The meeting was convened by Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez, whose constituents wanted to know why they got no text message alert that night and how they are supposed to escape if a more serious fire strikes.

Could Four Trees Save a Bridge?

n a bold gambit to save the 130-year-old Mission Canyon Bridge from demolition, a group of neighborhood residents is nominating as historic landmarks four adjacent sycamore trees that would likely be removed during the construction. Not only are the four trees — estimated to be a century old — the most significant and established trees abutting the bridge, the Coalition to Preserve Mission Canyon argues in their application, they are “character-defining” features of the Mission Canyon corridor, culturally significant to the Chumash, and important parts of the creek’s sensitive riparian habitat. “This area has evolved naturally for the last 200 years,” said coalition chair Lanny Ebenstein in reference to what the group calls its “unique rural ambiance” that would be lost if the corridor were to be redesigned and reconstructed in the name of traffic flow and safety, as city planners and an opposing camp of advocates is proposing. “We need to get into the attitude of saving and preserving instead of demolishing and replacing,” Ebenstein said. As opposed to widening and rebuilding the bridge at a cost of at least $11 million in grant money — 10-15 percent of which the city would need to cover — the

coalition suggests Santa Barbara instead spend around $100,000 on low-impact but needed improvements, such as paving, signage, and restriping, that could be done without sacrificing the route’s scenery and natural landscape. The coalition also takes issue with the suggestion that the area is patently dangerous. Collision data doesn’t back up that claim, they say, and the driving force behind the bridge replacement is a perceived — not actual — lack of safety. The current configuration forces users to pay attention and slow down, they say, while widening the bridge would increase speeds and risks. Moreover, the coalition argues, the low-end rating Caltrans has given the bridge — 52 out of 100 — is not based solely on its structural integrity; and the actual physical issues of the bridge — rust on the supports, a hole in the underside concrete — can and should be addressed without tearing the whole thing down. During a press conference this Tuesday in front of Rocky Nook Park, coalition member and former county supervisor Frank Frost recalled an adage he and his colleagues often used on the dais. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” he said. “That saved us a —Tyler Hayden lot of money.”

— delivered an abbreviated briefing on the state of the disease using state-generated statistics. It would be, she said with a notable lack of regret, the last time she expected to do so. Her numbers were strikingly low, but somehow, Do-Reynoso forgot to include the most dramatic detail of all. This Monday, it turns out, Santa Barbara County reported not one single new case of COVID. “We can’t remember a time we had zero cases since before 2020,” exclaimed board chair Bob Nelson. “This is something to celebrate.” There would be no champagne or confetti, however, and no speeches proclaiming victory. In the past 453 days, no fewer than 452 people would be recorded as having died from COVID. Nearly 35,000 got infected. Some sizable subset of that got sick enough to require hospitalization. COVID has not been an equalopportunity afflicter, nor have the vaccines been dispensed to Santa Barbara’s many sub-populations proportional to their actual numbers. While Hispanic people make up 48 percent of the county’s total population, they accounted for 59 percent of the cases, 67 percent of the hospitalizations, 50 percent of the deaths, and only 27 percent of the vaccinations. Santa Maria and North County took it on the chin far harder than Santa Barbara and South County. None of that was addressed at all this Tuesday. Instead, the supervisors got enmeshed in philosophical debates whether government “should save people who didn’t want to be saved,” as Supervisor Nelson put it. Sparking this debate was Dr. Aimee Smith — with a PhD from

MIT in materials science — who argued the coercive powers of the state had been wrongly deployed to force people to get vaccines and wear masks when there was no scientific basis to support either. Likewise, Smith claimed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention received a direct profit from the dispensation of vaccines and suggested that the whole enterprise was a ruse to strip-mine the electronic personal data of millions of Americans on behalf of companies like Google. Supervisor Gregg Hart exhorted Do-Reynoso and Public Health Officer Dr. Henning Ansorg to refute statements that were “false and untrue.” Ansorg noted that vaccines were necessary because more than half the COVID cases had been spread by people who had no symptoms and thus could not voluntarily restrict their exposure to others. As a public health officer, Ansorg stated, “We have to make uncomfortable and very hard decisions that hurt the freedom of people.” In fighting the pandemic, he said, vaccines clearly demonstrated their effectiveness. Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, the former Republican who represents Santa Maria, argued that “protecting people who don’t want to be protected is pretty much the role of government.” As a teenager, he recalled, he refused to buckle his seat belt; they rumpled his clothes, he explained. Then he got a ticket. Since then, Lavagnino said, he always buckles up. “Is the government changing my behavior?” he asked. “Somebody needed to do it.” With that said, 55 percent of the county’s eligible population has been fully vaccinated. Herd immunity, according to n Ansorg, is roughly 75 percent.

SUPES DENY REQUEST CONT’D FROM P. 7 includes being part of developing the formation commission to establish oversight for the Santa Barbara Police Department, redistributing over $3,000 in emergency grants to local Black residents, preserving St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church and the Second Baptist Church, public art exhibitions centered on Black artists, and more. “We have been doing the work,” said Simone Ruskamp, Healing Justice cofounder. “We came to you all a year ago saying this is what the community needed and wanted and the county was not providing it, and rather than just give up, we created what was missing. We come to you today because Juneteenth in its entirety has not been realized and an investment from you is still lacking.” Tensions were high. Although all of the supervisors supported the idea of a cultural resource center, they had already set aside $500,000 to advance and support equity in the wake of George Floyd’s killing last year and contracted with the Fund for Santa Barbara to distribute the INDEPENDENT.COM

funds. Before agreeing to more money, the supervisors suggested they apply to the Fund. “I do think the cultural center is an excellent use of the funds,” 1st District Supervisor Das Williams said. “We have turned over those funds to the Fund for Santa Barbara, and I encourage Healing Justice to apply to them. I’m not sure that they would prevail for $500,000, but I’m sure there would be a healthy amount to help fund the cultural center.” The Fund for Santa Barbara will review applications from community organizations that are doing equity work in the community, like Healing Justice, and make the final decisions for funding. This response was insulting to the Healing Justice members. “There is no reason, when you as Board of Supervisors can directly move to honor the work that we’re doing, for you to tell us that we have to go through yet another application process — while you sit here and publicly say you care about n Black lives,” Ruskamp said.

Racial Disparities in S.B.’s Criminal Justice System

with two outdoor patios and WIFI

People of Color Arrested, Jailed, and Convicted Many More Times than White People by Nick Welsh n a quietly groundbreaking moment, the Board of Supervisors got an up-close but dispassionate look at how the county’s criminal justice system treats people of color differently than white individuals. A 12-page study prepared by the County’s Probation Department tracked six key decisions made from point of arrest through to sentencing for both juveniles and adults. They then statistically calibrated the results to determine whether Black and brown people were overrepresented in the criminal justice system relative to their numbers countywide. The punch line of the report — known as a Relative Rate Index study or RRI for short — is that they very much are. For example, youth of color — who make up 63 percent of the county’s juvenile population — were 2.6 times more likely to be arrested than their white peers. They were 2.4 times more likely to be booked into juvenile hall, 1.7 times more likely to face criminal charges, and 1.5 times more likely to be committed to some form of detention as a result of their interaction with the criminal justice system. For Black and brown adults — who make up 44 percent of the county’s population — a similar trend emerges. Black people were 3.5 times more likely to be booked into County Jail than their white counterparts and 1.8 times more likely to be sentenced to state prison. Brown individuals were 1.4 times more likely to get booked than white people and two times more likely to be sent to state prison. Delivering the report with striking understatement were Probation Chief Tanja Heitman, acting Santa Barbara Police Chief Barney Melekian, and Karyn Milligan, manager of Research for Special Projects for County Probation. The report, they agreed, raised more questions than it answered, but it provided a statistical starting point for a public conversation as to possible changes. The issue of poverty, for example, was not addressed as a determinative factor. Nor was the severity of the alleged offenses considered as to explain why juveniles of color were picked up at higher rates than white juveniles. All took pains not to place blame or to characterize the criminal justice system as racist. But as subdued as their presentations were, they all clearly agreed change was needed.

Probation Chief Heitman likened the situation to a public health crisis in which people in one neighborhood are dying in disproportionately high numbers because of tainted water supply. No matter how well they are treated at the hospital, she argued, can make the problem go away. Police Chief Melekian commented that the criminal justice system is “populated by people with good intention” operating in a system that does two things “that demand improvement.” The first, he said, is that it ignores historical factors that bring people of certain communities into contact with the system in the first place. The second is that it assumes everyone “can and should be treated in an identical fashion regardless of the circumstances.” Supervisors Gregg Hart and Das Williams, both ardent champions of criminal justice reform, embraced the report’s findings for providing “a data-driven, factbased” starting point for future conversations to come. Supervisor Steve Lavagnino noted how the Probation Department had been researching ways to address race-based disparities since he was first elected in 2012 and that this study should not be dismissed as a trendy response to renewed interest in criminal justice reform in the wake of the George Floyd murder. Supervisor Bob Nelson, perhaps the most conservative member of the board, expressed concern that the report could be seized upon by those intent on showing that the system was racist. But he also expressed openness to the possibility that further research might show the system might, in fact, be racist, even though he didn’t think so now. Andy Caldwell, conservative government watchdog with the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture, and Business, expressed outrage the report did not include information about gang membership, particularly in the North County, where he said there were 2,000 gang members. More striking was the broad sense of agreement among board members of divergent political inclinations that the criminal justice system was in need of serious tweaking. Supervisor Joan Hartmann said, “Change is coming,” noting that 63 percent of the county’s juvenile population was either Black or brown. “Where do we get more bang for our buck?” she asked. “Preschool? Wellness programs?” n Heitman’s answer? “Yes to all of the above.”

NEWS of the WEEK CONT’D CANNABIS

sion, if necessary. The state panel has not yet weighed in on any cannabis project in the Carpinteria Valley.

ANONYMOUS ATTACKS

Within hours of the June 9 hearing, Concerned Carpinterians sent out the first of two unsigned emails to county leaders, accusing Chytilo of “misrepresenting” who his clients were. In one email, the group asked the Planning Commission to consider filing a complaint against Chytilo with the State Bar of California. The group also called on the commission to conduct an “ethics inquiry” into a $20,000 donation from CARP Growers to the Foothills Forever fundraising campaign. Chytilo helped lead that effort. In an interview, Chytilo called the attacks “unfortunate” and said he “did not appreciate being vilified through a smear campaign.” “These attacks prove that no good deed goes unpunished,” Chytilo said. “I’m working hard to try and solve a difficult community problem.”

‘WEAK’ ENFORCEMENT VALLEY VIEW: Residents of La Mirada Drive above Foothill Road have complained that the smell of cannabis is making them sick. Here’s their view of the greenhouse industry, including G&K Farms, at the western end of the Carpinteria Valley.

Carpinteria Cannabis: Collaboration or Confrontation A Rift in Citizen Groups on How to Stop the Smell

by Melinda Burns

grower’s proposal to build the most airtight cannabis processing warehouse in the Carpinteria Valley has exposed a growing rift between two citizens’ groups that for years have pressed the county to rein in the fastexpanding, foul-smelling cannabis industry. Activists took opposing sides this month as the county Planning Commission approved zoning permits for a 25,400-square-foot warehouse next to five previously approved cannabis greenhouses at 3561 Foothill Road. The operation, called G&K Farms, is co-owned by Graham Farrar, a founder of CARP Growers, a group of 14 cannabis operators with about 20 separate “grows” in the valley. On one side were members of Concerned Carpinterians, a loose organization of about 300 residents, who signed a petition urging the commission to vote “no” on the warehouse project. They have long complained that Farrar’s greenhouses on Foothill are sending waves of the “skunky” smell of marijuana into their homes day and night on the prevailing winds, causing them to suffer nausea, headaches, and respiratory problems. “If G&K is considered a good neighbor, then God help us,” said Sara Trigueiro, a resident of La Mirada Drive above Foothill, where she has a sweeping view of what some are calling the “industrial complex” of cannabis greenhouses between Nidever and Casitas Pass roads. “My grandmother, on hospice, complained constantly of the cannabis fumes,” Trigueiro told the commission at its June 9 hearing, fighting back tears. “That’s not right…. We should wait for operators to prove that they are good neighbors and are not causing nuisances before we allow them to expand existing operations.”

COLLABORATION VS. CONFRONTATION

But in addition to Farrar and the county, Trigueiro took aim at Marc Chytilo, an attorney for the Santa Barbara Coalition for Responsible Cannabis, a nonprofit group of 200 residents from Carpinteria to the Cuyama Valley. Though the coalition has filed lawsuits and dozens of project appeals against cannabis growers, in recent months, Chytilo, representing the Coalition for Responsible Cannabis, has negotiated odor control agreements behind closed doors with cannabis operators, most recently, with CARP Growers, including Farrar. To

The coalition and CARP Growers expect to announce a joint odor-control agreement next month, further refining the deal that’s in place for CVW Farms, Chytilo said. Both sides, he said, want to ensure that there’s no odor detectable at the growers’ property lines, he said. “There’s no ordinance that can do that,” Chytilo said. “By voluntary agreement, everybody’s working to make it happen.” Rob Salomon, a coalition board member, said other cannabis operators will be under pressure to match the coming agreement with CARP Growers. “The county ordinance is so weak, particularly on enforcement, that we have to get something else in place,” he said. “The agreements we’re negotiating are not perfect. There’s going to be no perfect in this; it’s too new.” Referring to Concerned Carpinterians, Salomon said, “We call it negotiating with the growers; they call it collaboration with overtones of evil. I don’t understand. I think what we’re doing is good. It gets the growers to commit, investigate, and invest; and it provides a path to technology as it evolves.”

date, three such agreements have been incorporated during public hearings into the growers’ zoning permits for cannabis cultivation. The coalition has promised those growers that it will not sue them. Trigueiro is not impressed: She asked the commissioners to describe any communications they had had with Chytilo about Farrar’s warehouse. Commissioner John Parke of Solvang responded that Chy- In voting 4-1 on June 9 to approve Farrar’s cannabis processtilo had emailed him before the hearing, stating that the coali- ing warehouse, the Planning Commission said it could not tion “has worked with Graham and feels his project is worthy of address the existing odors at G&K Farms in the same vote; support” based on “next-generation” odor-control technology. any changes to the greenhouses there would require a separate Commissioner Mike Cooney, who represents the Carpinte- zoning permit.

The Slow Slog of the Flogged Dog

SPACE IS THE PLACE: Maybe I’ve grown too old for my skin. When Vandenberg Air Force Base —

located just a scenic hop up the coast — changed its name a month ago, it seriously creeped me out. For those missing the memo, it’s now called “Vandenberg Space Force Base.”

That’s right — a space force. This reflects, I suppose, our growing need to dominate all of existence — into the infinity of space itself — so you and I can sleep peacefully in our beds at night. I’d suggest a sleeping pill instead. They’re cheaper. But they’re also habitforming. And in the morning, you can never remember who you email-blasted the night before or why. Which, of course, is the whole reason we need a space force in the morning. When the matter came before the Board of Supervisors this Tuesday, my heebie-jeebies were set on quick twitch. They were allayed not at all by the space base’s new commander, Colonel Robert Long, who just flew in from the Pentagon to take charge of the base again. He’s been its commander twice before. Long exuded warmth and competence in that deceptively low-key way common in people you never want to play poker with. “This is my home base,” Long purred professionally. “It’s wonderful to be back.” As if reading my mind, he proceeded to downplay the whole “space base” thing. “It’s just a name change,” he said. I reached for my wallet to make sure it was still there.

THE INDEPENDENT

JUNE 17, 2021

And for good reason. The play before the supervisors was a hitch-your-wagon-to-thestars economic development plan that would make the county’s emerging cannabis industry look like a street-corner lemonade stand. It was one part Buck Rogers, two parts Darth Vader, and about three parts P.T. Barnum, famous for his immortal formulation, “A sucker is born every second.” Colonel Long made his strategic cameo and quickly left, replaced by Andrew Hackleman, a former Air Force officer best known for his recent effort to repurpose Pacific Gas and Electric’s Diablo Canyon Power Plant in Avila Beach, slated to close in a few years. Every sixth word out of Hackleman’s mouth was “ecosystem,” as in “space ecosystem,” or “business ecosystem.” Clearly, it was selected for its soporific green-wash value. Hackleman emphasized the possibilities of “climate change data gathering,” for which Vandenberg — in actual fact — is ideally situated to become a world leader, if it isn’t already. The proposal is that our county government teams up in some ill-defined fashion with UCSB, Cal Poly, NASA, the Department of Defense, and all the private money betting on outer space to grease the skids for a new public-private enterprise that will “rebrand” the Central Coast as the ultimate portal to military and commercial space launches on the planet. Space, Hackleman breathlessly ejaculated, is an already $4 billion per year industry in a big fat hurry to hit the trillion-dollar mark.

INDEPENDENT.COM

Back in the 1980s, Vandenberg and Lompoc had similar dreams, but they went up in smoke when the Challenger space shuttle — and all astronauts on board — were blown up in a tragic catastrophe caused by the deployment of faulty O-rings. Of such things, dreams are dashed. In the late ’90s, Santa Barbara’s then-former Congressmember Andrea Seastrand tried to resurrect the dream by creating something called the California Space Authority. She was the wrong person for the job. On one occasion, Seastrand blamed California’s fires, floods, and earthquakes on feminism, Wicca, and divorce. On another, she suggested space would be a good place to send poor kids trapped in the ghetto. In 2010, the Space Authority shut its doors having never achieved liftoff. And now this. Obviously, space is the hot, trendy thing. China and the United States are duking it out over competing missions to Mars. The two richest men on the planet — Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos — have decided Earth is not big enough to contain their fortunes and are busily burning their bitcoins on their own private space race. Musk, it should be noted, operates his SpaceX empire out of Vandenberg. And while Bezos is preparing for liftoff on an 11-minute rocket trip, it should be noted that his ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott, just donated $20 million to Santa Barbara City College and $15 million to Cal State Channel Islands. I’ll leave it to you to decide who’s getting more bang for her bucks.

Thank you, MacKenzie. None of this makes a lick of sense. When I was born, the planet had 2.8 billion people. Today, it’s 7.9 billion. To say the least, we have not realized the Boy Scout pledge to leave our campsite better than we found it. The carrying cost to the planet of these additional five billion people — and I’m one of ’em — hovers somewhere between the apocalyptic and the cataclysmic. If there’s other intelligent life in outer space, they should regard our notions of colonizing other planets as an imminent and existential threat, and react accordingly. And that, I suppose, is why we need a space force. The supervisors, for the most part, listened politely. None expressed horror. Are they sentient beings? Supervisor Gregg Hart, ever practical and pragmatic, went small. He took issue with the marketing and branding strategy proposed by Hackleman. Hackleman kept referring to the “Central Coast,” Hart noted. The “Central Coast’s” many universities, the “Central Coast’s” enticing environment, and all the ways the “Central Coast” would benefit. As a marketing tool, Hart objected, the term “Central Coast” was way too vague and generic. It’s specific to no place. Instead he explained, “The Santa Barbara brand is a global brand.” I respectfully take issue with Colonel Long. It’s a whole lot more than a simple name change. —Nick Welsh

erious allegations of sexual harassment at the City of Santa Barbara state the perpetrator, former city finance director Bob Samario, got a pass to be a classic creepy boss. Though he’s accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a woman, her complaints were repeatedly ignored by the city, apparently laughed off as “Bob just being Bob.” Being targeted for physical appearance on the job can happen to anyone, but it mostly happens to women. It is stressful times 10. In my professional career, I’ve experienced harassment, filed complaints, and was fortunate that human resources took action. It is devastating when a worker has no support. People value their careers and are not stupid. If a workplace makes a point of saying that being a creep is not okay, then people at all levels know that harassment based on race, gender, and physical abilities is not okay. The company, agency, or organization has to make it clear that overt harassment is unacceptable and will have consequences for everyone, no exceptions. People can forget their filter occasionally under stress; sometimes it can get awkward. But not making a career of being a creep is not that hard. The more diverse a workplace, the more important mutual respect becomes. No workplace is going to be 100 percent free of bias and ’isms, but allowing documented harassment? That is on management. At a minimum, the victim should be promoted to the position she is obviously qualified for, the city manager should make a public apology, and the city’s human resources department should have the authority to review complaints. A healthy, respectful workplace is not that hard, people! This is our city. I want accountability, not embarrassment. Our city is better than this. Letting this fly under the radar hurts all of us.

About the Bridge

ission Creek Bridge is one of the treasures of our area. It is inconceivable the City of Santa Barbara could be intending to demolish it. Traffic flow on the bridge works well for everyone — cars, bikes, and pedestrians. There is no safety reason to demolish one of our area’s most historic sites. Almost all of the city structures from the American period that are historic landmarks date to the 20th century, not the 1800s. Mission Creek Bridge is a rare, late 19th-century landmark in the City of Santa Barbara. It is also on state and national lists of historic and architectural resources.

Mission Creek Bridge is part of Mission Historical Park. It fits organically and seamlessly with the rest of the park. To tear it down and replace it with a new bridge would not only destroy one of the city’s most important landmarks, but it would negatively impact the national Historic Landmark District surrounding the Santa Barbara Mission. The Santa Barbara City Council should save Mission Creek Bridge! —David Brandt, S.B.

Antiquated Cinemas

or a town that celebrates film once a year and has so many filmmakers and creators, where is the love for our movie theaters? Sure, we have the historic Arlington, which is a marvel to look at although very uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. Stadium seating barely exists, there’s no dine-in experience or spacious lounge chairs, and forget searching for any IMAX experience. The latest and greatest “innovation” we had was the addition of alcohol service. I wouldn’t be surprised if most moviegoers attend our theaters simply for the convenience, and lack of choice. After all, it’s a long, often traffic-riddled drive (through the two lanes of hell on the 101 south out of Santa Barbara) to better theaters, but sometimes —Sean Mullen, S.B. it’s worth it.

For the Record

¶ Last week’s story that included cannabis odor complaints against Island View Ranch shortened its name to “Island View,” which is the name of a flower nursery that has operated on the property for 20 years. The flower nursery is not a defendant in the county’s lawsuit.

We lost our beautiful son and brother and the world lost an artistic, talented and deeply sensitive person. Avery easily accomplished anything that he chose to master…. guitar, skateboard, basketball, trampoline, unicycle, and much more. He was born with exquisite physical agility and innate artistic sensibility and these were expressed throughout his life. Avery was a bluesman who revered the greats and sang and played from the depths of his soul. Some of the highlights of his life were musical gigs in many venues starting at age 17. He was born and died in Santa Barbara and touched many people. He worked at a number of businesses in the funk zone including Hot Spots, Wheel and Fun, The Beach House, and Bluewater Grill. The past 2 years he worked at the University Club. Those fortunate enough to have his help at any of those establishments loved him for his care, knowledge, and service. His many friends created a spontaneous memorial for him at the skatepark that has kept growing. He was often accompanied by his beloved scruffy terrier, Spud. Avery struggled with severe depression and anxiety which he was usually able to conceal with kindness and humor. He was compassionate and generous and was usually the life of the party.

obituaries Stan Tomchin 1945 - 2021

Stan grew-up spending summers at the Malibu Beach Club on Long Island, where he watched adults play gin rummy. His appetite for learning games was insatiable. As a young boy, he devoured books on poker, gin, bridge and blackjack. He was allowed to run a poker game in the basement of his home, his parents somewhat in the dark as to how their shrewd son was already developing hustling skills. Stan was booted from the Boy Scouts once word got out that some boys in his troop were losing their allowances to him. In 4th grade, Stan subscibed to a Russian chess publication called Shakhmaty, and he studied theory late into the night. He thrived deepening his problem-solving capacity. From the ages of 10 to 13, Stan would take the train by himself from Long Island to New York City in search of the best players at Marshall Chess Club, Manhattan Chess Club and Chess and Checker Club of New York. He’d absorb himself quietly watching the play, trying to anticipate moves, or at least understand expert choices. Some would give him a game here and there. Soon enough, his game seriously developed and Stan was able to get some coaching from the renowned chess coach Bruce Panolfini. At age 12, Stan became one of the youngest ever to win the New York State Chess Championship for his age bracket. In high school,

To submit obituaries for publication, please call (805) 965-5205 or email obits@independent.com Stan’s chess team went undefeated while winning the Long Island High School Championship all four of his years. While many find a game for which they have talent and become happily stuck rising the ranks, Stan’s early breadth of games’ interest maintained. Ultimately, he was drawn toward games where you could make money with your superior understanding. He was playing a lot of bridge in his teens, which at least sometimes had some wagering going on. Stan was given a full four-year scholarship to Cornell, but he was finding it more stimulating to play bridge all day so he didn’t hang around long at the prestigious university. In the US, backgammon largely emerged from the bridge community as a fun outlet between intense bridge sets. Stan devoured the limited literature on backgammon available at the time, watched some of the bridge legends play, and soon tried his hand at the game for affordable stakes. By the mid-70s, Stan was dominating the backgammon world, winning numerous tournaments worldwide. In 1975, the National Backgammon Association considered Stan #1 in the game he loved and which paid the rent nicely. It was Stan and another backgammon legend, Paul Magriel, who revolutionized the ancient board game by utilizing more math to arrive at best plays than had been attempted or mastered previously. Later, Stan would find profitability in option trading markets and a significant opportunity in sports betting – as a bettor. Emerging during this time were some gifted computer programmers who also understood sports quite well. Stan’s inquisitiveness and net-

working skills led him to some of these whiz kids, and he put together a Dream Team brain trust with great work ethics and solid capital. They took the country by storm, and Stan felt on top of the world. Unfortunately, what he was doing wasn’t easily understood and assumed by laymen to be just a modern version of bookmaking. Many years into great success, now in the mid-90s, Stan was charged with 27 felonies, all due to this misconception or convenient misunderstanding as to what he was doing. With 52-character witnesses and a strong case made by Stan’s prominent attorney, a deal was struck and Stan begrudgingly accepted one misdemeanor gambling charge. Some of Stan’s earliest memories were of listening to stories of the Holocaust and of family members not as fortunate as his parents, both of Russian descent. He credits his mother Etta’s generous way for inspiring in him a giving nature, not just with money but with time and energy. At the family synagogue when Stan was studying for his bar mitzvah he tutored other kids to read Hebrew. In high school, he coached tennis to younger kids. Helping make even a little difference – this was an abiding pleasure for Stan. In the 90s, Stan taught chess to dozens of kids at his daughter’s elementary school on Wednesdays, rarely missing one of those days in four years. He took the top players from Crane County Day School to the state chess championships that last year. From his teens until deep into his 60s, Stan was a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court. Singles, doubles, coach-

ing… he loved it all. Stan played for years with the Montecito Tennis Mafia— a group of a 100-players. In 1998 a team of 6 was formed to compete in the Phoenix League Championships in Palm Springs. 3,000 players from all over the world participated. Stan provided coaching and support to prepare. His team prevailed in a division of 40 others to win the tournament. Together, Stan and Cheryl created a family foundation focusing on health and education of women and children, as well as environmental issues – both nationally and internationally. Stan contributed significant funds to a couple of prominent charities in Nevada, both emphasizing educational support for disadvantaged youth. But he did more than that, as usual. He held special events and shared life lessons. One of his favorite excursions with some of the older aspiring kids, was to take a large group of them to Wimbledon, so they could witness first-hand tennis at its peak. “In the end, I was gifted time enough to say goodbye to the man I loved and with whom I shared more than half a lifetime. His brilliance was a given, but what I’ll most remember him for was his boundless generosity. My mother called him “Stanta Claus.” For me, he was Stanley Bear – to whom I promise to keep good memories alive for his three grandchildren.” Cheryl Tomchin

THE GREAT

CUNNINGHAM

rom an early age, Samuel and Mabel Cunning-

ham’s four sons — Sam Jr., Anthony, Bruce, and Randall — made their mark. Whether it was on the Eastside of Santa Barbara, at the beach, on the playgrounds of Franklin Elementary, under the lights at Peabody Stadium, or in the Los Angeles Coliseum, the stage was never too big for the Cunningham brothers to shine.

by Victor Bryant Through their athletic exploits, they smashed records and broke barriers. The stories of their high school, college, and, in the case of Sam and Randall, professional careers have evolved into legends. But at the heart of all the myths and folklore is a true story of African-American excellence, and it all began in Santa Barbara.

THE RISE OF SAM ‘BAM’ CUNNINGHAM

All four Cunningham brothers were born and raised in Santa Barbara. And as the oldest, Sam had no choice but to make his own name and blaze his own path. “Santa Barbara was a great place to grow up because it was so diverse and allowed us to mix and blend with other cultures,” Sam said. “It helped me later in life on my journey.

FAMILY

The people I met, the friends that I made, and the things that we did kind of gave me an overall head start.” The Cunninghams moved around a lot during Sam’s childhood, from Gutierrez Street to Haley Street to Cacique Street near the railroad tracks. Like many Santa Barbara children in the 1950s and 1960s, Sam spent a lot of time riding bikes and going to the beach. He was immersed in the Spanish history, the architecture, and the beautiful outdoor scenery that made Santa Barbara a special place. “If I had to pick a better place to grow up, I couldn’t have,” Sam admitted. His introduction to athletics came at Franklin Elementary, where the coach Bill Van Schaick exposed him to organized sports. The Van Schaicks were a family of educators. Bill’s brother Frank worked and coached at Wilson elementary school, which has been converted into the Westside Neighborhood Center, and the two schools formed a crosstown athletic rivalry. “We would play after-school sports. Whatever sport was in season — football, basketball, baseball, and volleyball,” Sam said. “I don’t think I ever played youth [tackle] football. I just played flag football,” he said. “For me, it was whatever school sports were there, that’s what we played. “In the summer, we would go camping in the Sierras for a week or two. We got immersed in a lot of stuff that if I had grown up in the inner city, I wouldn’t have been exposed to. “I never knew how great Santa Barbara was until I left. That was really crazy. I always thought it was a pain because of the small-town feel and everybody knew what you were

doing and in your business,” he said. “When you get out and everybody says some place is beautiful, you find yourself looking around and saying, ‘This isn’t as beautiful as where I grew up.’”

GETTING SERIOUS

In those early years, sports were just a fun pastime for Sam and his classmates. The competitive aspect came later as he moved to Santa Barbara Junior High and Santa Barbara High School. It wasn’t hard for Sam’s coaches to immediately recognize his athletic talent. He was undeniably gifted: Sports just came naturally, and the Santa Barbara community embraced him and nourished those natural gifts. In high school, Sam continued to develop under head football coach Sam Cathcart, a U.S. Army veteran who served during World War II and the Korean War, and the defensive coordinator Mike Moropoulos. At 63 and 220 pounds, Sam excelled on both sides of the ball as a fullback on offense and a hybrid linebacker or “exaggerated rover,” as he described it, on defense. Mike Moropoulos’s son Craig is the current head football coach at Santa Barbara City College and has a unique perspective on the four brothers’ careers at Santa Barbara High. As a young boy, Craig grew up admiring Sam and Anthony. Later he played football with Bruce, and when he graduated, Randall took over from him as quarterback. The word Craig used to describe the Cunninghams’ athletic imprint at the high school was “legendary.” “When Sam was coming through Santa Barbara High, I was a 7- or 8-year-old kid. Sam was the idol. I would get to sit on the bench with him, and I was such a fan,” Craig

Championship in the shot put with a throw of 649. His throwing coach Vern Gambetta, a teaching assistant from UC Santa Barbara at the time, had to learn about shot-put technique from a book, but he and Sam grew in knowledge and skill together over a three-year period. “Track meets back then were huge events at Santa Barbara High School,” Moropoulos said. “They had one of the best track teams ever. Watching the 4x100 relay and Sam throwing the shot put was incredible.” Sam’s accomplishments on the track, and those of his brothers later on, were so extraordinary that even 50 years later it is not surprising that an anonymous donor gave the school district $500,000 to name the new track at Peabody Stadium after all four Cunninghams.

Moropoulos remembered. “My dad and mom used to have them over for dinner, Sam and some of the other guys. My mom made Greek chicken, which was a lemon fried chicken, and Sam loved it. He was just a very high-character person, and my folks loved him.” In Sam’s junior year of high school in 1967, the Dons reached the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) semifinals, which was played at the Los Angeles Coliseum. They suffered a devastating loss to Anaheim High, tarnishing a previously undefeated season, but it was a prelude of things to come for Sam, as he would go on to play football at USC following his senior year. In track and field, Sam showed impressive speed, running the 100-yard dash in 9.9 seconds. Because the track at Peabody Stadium back then was oval without a long straightaway, the 100 was run on the grass field. Sam combined that speed with tremendous strength, allowing him to win the 1969 State

became the first fully integrated team to play in the state of Alabama. The Trojans took the field against the Alabama Crimson Tide in Birmingham. For Sam, who was a sophomore, it was his first introduction to big-time college football. (Until 1972, freshmen were not permitted to play varsity football in Division 1.) What happened on Legion Field that evening was the birth of an icon and a significant event in African-American history, as Sam rushed 12 times for 135 yards and two touchdowns in a 42-21 USC victory. Integration was bad news for many of the Alabama faithful, but losing was worse. The lopsided USC victory shattered the final stronghold of segregation in college football and helped end the practice of all-white Alabama football teams. The next season, two Black players, running back Wilbur Jackson and defensive end John Mitchell, donned Alabama uniforms. Alabama assistant coach Jerry Claiborne was famously quoted saying, “Sam Cunningham did more to integrate Alabama in 60 minutes than Martin Luther King did in 20 years.” There was no indication before the game that Sam would even get to play. He was slated as a backup fullback behind starter Charlie Evans. But he entered the game on USC’s fourth offensive play and danced with destiny. As a 20-year-old California kid, Sam did not fully recognize the importance of his performance at the time, but over the years, through talking with the Black residents of Birmingham and others, Sam began to appreciate its significance. “I didn’t go into any game looking to change history, even though history has a tendency to be changed by things of that nature,” Sam said. “I always tried to play to the best of my ability, and that’s what I did that evening. I was put in the right spot and got touched by the hand of God.” Sam went on to a productive career at USC, culminating in the 1973 Rose Bowl, where he put on a performance for the ages with four touchdowns in the second half to lead USC to a 42-17 victory over Ohio State. The victory secured USC the national championship, and Sam was named player of the game. The New England Patriots drafted Sam with the 11th pick in the first round of the 1973 NFL Draft. He played nine seasons for the Patriots and was a Pro Bowl selection in 1978. During his years there, the violent protests against busing were taking place in the working-

In Boston, however, Sam recalled how white Patriot fans told him, “If I was married and had kids, they wouldn’t mind their kids going to school with my kids, and I’m saying, well why is that? ‘Because you’re a star.’” But Sam said, “Well, that’s not how it’s supposed to go.” Sam was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2010.

Living in the shadow of an older brother can be a challenge, but when your older brother is Sam Cunningham, expectations can reach a fevered pitch. Also a phenomenal multi-sport athlete, Anthony Cunningham was an aggressive tackler on the football field with speed, agility, and power, which translated onto the track and the baseball field. Yet it was a struggle to convince the world around him that he was his own person, not his older brother. “I had trouble with [Sam’s legacy]. The first day, I walked in and did jumping jacks. I didn’t touch my hands together, and they said, ‘Sam wouldn’t do that. You got to get out of here,’ ” Anthony said. “I had to fight to be me so that the door would be open for Bruce and Randall to be who they were.” Like Sam, Anthony credits the Van Schaick family for enriching his childhood through sports and recreation. He remembered how Bill Van Schaick would put 20 kids “of all colors” in an old truck and take them on adventures. “We built a barn at his house,” he said. “There was a swimming pool and two horses. Every year, if you did everything right, you would go to the Sierras for two weeks.” Anthony believes all this helped keep a lot of kids on the straight and narrow. “Santa Barbara has never honored that family like we should,” he said. Anthony’s football career took a winding path from Santa Barbara High to SBCC and finally to Boise State. Throughout the journey, Anthony

By the time he reached Boise State, Anthony leaned into his unique personality.

Two weeks later, they came and told me you no longer have a scholarship and you can’t be on the team. That’s how it ended for me at Boise.” Anthony is the only one of his siblings who still lives in the City of Santa Barbara. Bruce is close by in Lompoc.

Randall had the opportunity to play tackle football early in their childhood through the Youth Football League (YFL). Their mother, Mabel, insisted they play on the same team even though Bruce was a couple of years older and in a different weight group. The first team they played for was the YFL Eagles. Throughout their young lives, Sam was a role model and motivational factor for Bruce and Randall, particularly as their older brother moved on from USC and into the NFL. Wherever Sam went when he was in Santa Barbara, they wanted to go with him. Sometimes they would get to meet larger-thanlife NFL stars, such as O.J. Simpson and Lynn Swann. “Me and Randall used to cry if we couldn’t hang out with Sam,” Bruce admitted. As the youngest, Randall was a bit of a project for all of his older brothers. “We used to go to the beach to run on the sand … and go to City College to run those stadium stairs,” Bruce said. “We knew Randall’s potential … so we would just work him and work him and work him.” Randall was tall and lanky with an athletic frame from a young age. He got a head start throwing the ball from playing with his brothers in their backyard. As he rose through the football ranks, he was always a quarterback; it was a natural role for him. In Randall’s senior season at Santa Barbara High, he led the Dons to a 13-0 start including a 15-14 victory over rival Dos Pueblos that saw Randall convert a

They ran a wide-open offense for that time period that put Randall’s elite ability throwing the football on full display. Of course, Mabel was thrilled to have the brothers together again. Randall broke 18 school records during his career as UNLV’s quarterback and punter. After leading UNLV to a program-best 11 wins in 1984, he was the 37th overall pick and the first quarterback selected in the 1985 DON DAYS: At Santa Barbara High, Sam Cunningham NFL Draft by the Philadelphia (34) excelled on both sides of the ball as a fullback on offense and a hybrid linebacker on defense.

He thought that USC was the position. “Whether it was Alabama not having people of color more interested in featuring the offensive linemen and running backs. “I was about to sign,” he said, but “I was on their team or whether it was the NFL saying that a Black quarterback can’t make it because they are not smart enough, for Sam to be a Pro Bowler, and for me to be the first quarterback picked in the draft in 1985 speaks for itself,” Randall said. “I really didn’t want to deal with that. I wanted to act as though we were sort of past that.” When he retired, Randall had the most rushing yards by a quarterback in NFL history. He was selected to four Pro Bowls and was first team All-Pro in 1998. But Randall, like all his brothers, never forgot their Santa Barbara roots, particularly their high school careers. So when Peabody Stadium was being renovated, Randall helped bring one of the top track and field flooring providers to the project. He had been so satisfied with the quality of its surface he had installed on his small backyard track that he requested Mondo Track Surfaces to submit a bid.

BY CHARLES DONELAN threshold concepts such as that of the unconscious, emotional intelligence is something that can’t be un-thought. Once you’ve understood it, you perceive it (or the lack of it!) operating everywhere, and there’s no going back. When I spoke by phone with Goleman last week, he reflected on both the impact of affective studies and on how much practical help this field has to offer today. As one might expect from an expert on the emotions, Goleman radiated a calm sense of purpose that remained fundamentally oriented toward meeting the needs of the other. What follows has been lightly edited for length and clarity.

he study of human behavior takes many shapes. Sociologists spend their days quite differently from neuroscientists, and the same goes for psychologists and economists or political scientists. Yet there has been one trend over the past quarter century that has left no corner of the overall field of behavioral science untouched, and that’s the affective turn — a re-centering of cognitive and behavioral studies around issues arising from the emotions. Daniel Goleman, who will be appearing on Wednesday, June 23, at 6 p.m. as the next speaker in the Hospice of Santa Barbara’s illuminate series, can take as much credit as anyone, if not for the affective turn itself, Daniel Goleman then for the dramatic increase in popular currency of its core insights. Goleman’s 1995 book, Emotional the last decade or two. When I wrote the Intelligence, took a relatively unknown book Emotional Intelligence, I was actuidea from psychology and neurobiology ally tracking the rise of affective neuroand turned it into a permanent part of science, which was the beginnings of the the common lexicon. Like other great study of emotion in the brain, which has become quite a robust field.

The journal Nature just published a “consensus” piece signed by several dozen scholars from a wide range of fields declaring that, after passing through periods when “behaviorism” and then “cognitivism” were the dominant paradigms for scientific research on human behavior, we are now fully immersed in “affectivism.” As one of the people most responsible for this shift, how would you respond to that claim? I would say that the cognitive approach is still very, very strong, right? The study and understanding of human emotion has become a very hot field in

Why has the study of affect become so important? One job emotion is doing in the brain is telling us what to pay attention to at any given moment — what’s salient, what matters to us — and that helps us organize experience. In this sense, it’s tremendously helpful. So even when we believe we are being totally rational, the decision of what we are focusing on tends to be driven by emotion? Can you give an example of how that plays out? There was a study done at MIT that showed that disinformation spreads much further and more rapidly online than good information because it is more emotionally loaded. What’s emotionally loaded gets more attention, and we act on it more often. So there’s a challenge there for our society to help people understand the difference between sound and unsound information.

What will be your focus when you deliver your talk for the illuminate series? I’m going to share some practical tips and methods from great contemplative science. My last book was on the science of meditation, and I am going to share some of those findings and some of the methods that have been well-tested that seem very favorable particularly for handling anxiety.

My Life

living

The Arlington Theatre

It All Amounts to Something I

t’s always the little artifacts that get me, the fragments of a life, the seemingly insignificant pieces that are so fraught and poignant. In my motherin-law’s nearly empty drawer, there was a small tortoiseshell comb, a tiny mirror, and a silver tube of pink lipstick compressed into a neat flat nub by years of sparing application. There were very few occasions when she would have worn lipstick, but here it was, a nod to her feminine side, like the linen blouse in her closet, with a panel of lace at the back, her single dress-up garment, hanging alongside the polo shirts and easy-wash casuals like a lady among workers—everything in colors of the sky, the sea, or sand.

Seeing the Better Angels of the Living BY CYNTHIA CARBONE WARD And there was my father-in-law’s London Fog trench coat, soft with 30 years of wear, pockets still stuffed with yellowed newspaper pages of unfinished crossword puzzles and an old, crushed packer hat. There were his engineering textbooks from his wartime years at MIT, round tin boxes filled with rolls of black-and-white photographic negatives, his stamp collection, and a lifetime accumulation of classical music. A shipbuilder and civil engineer, he was an avid reader all his life, curious and enthusiastic about everything. My husband’s parents enjoyed 70 years of marriage and lived into their nineties, and although there is sadness in every ending, their lives were not tragic, and their dying seems somehow appropriate, a normal passage, a fading rather than a ripping away, and in this they are different from the lost loved ones of my own family of origin. Still, it will be a long time before I step outside without the urge to veer toward my mother-in-law’s house to say hello, before I can water her garden without a sense of her watching me through the window, or before I no longer halfexpect to see her gathering grapefruits or pulling up weeds, a tiny white-haired lady in a baseball cap and blue sweater. But the pang comes mostly with the discoveries of long-cherished letters and mementos

whose preservation reveals more tenderness and sentiment than was ever overtly expressed, and in the funny little pocket stashes, and the unexpected vestige of feminine vanity. When my own father died, his eyeglasses on the kitchen counter, alongside his car keys and the list of what he had to do that day, spoke eloquently of his sense of duty and aspiration. He was forever driving and striving, and sometimes that was hard on those of us who hadn’t yet realized, despite his warnings, that the clock was ticking, and we wouldn’t always have the luxury of being young and stupid. I am still tormented by mistakes I made and my failure to appreciate him, but one characteristic of being human is an inability to fully perceive how precious and irreplaceable someone is until that someone is gone. We see most munificently when looking back, more readily charmed by the foibles and quirks, more willing to discern the pain and good intentions behind actions that caused hurt, more inclined to forgive and call the whole thing love. And all that love amounts to something. Doesn’t it? As I sorted through the contents of my in-laws’ domains, their endearing singularity became ever more apparent, and I felt profound affection for them both, and I resolved to try to look at others while they are still alive and in our midst with the kindly eyes usually reserved for the dead. I would try to see the charm of the living folks I encounter, and the better angels of their natures; I would try to more fully appreciate each one-of-a-kind composition. An event presented itself that very afternoon which was perfect for test-driving this perspective: the birthday party of an 8-year-old. I put on a green-and-white party dress and set out into the howling Gaviota wind. A cacophony of cattle sounds drifted toward me from a nearby corral, but soon I was met by the laughter and shouts of children as I approached the festivities. Everyone was gratefully vaccinated, masks off, faces shining, and there was a great camaraderie, a sense of emerging from a tunnel, cautiously hopeful, not the same, but maybe better. “This feels so normal,” the grown-ups said, “so wonderfully normal.” And of course, we understand now that nothing ever was normal or ordinary. It was always a miracle, all of it. n

SANTA BARBARA’S BLACK ICONS

The African-American Individuals and Families Who Helped Shape Our Community by Tyler Hayden ous cultural groups, beginning with Italian immigrants. While the physical African American display is hosted by the library, the show’s full complement of photos and in-depth information can be found at sbgen.org.

Otto Artie Hopkins

As a young man, Otto Hopkins played Negro League baseball, pitching for the San Antonio Longhorns. He also did some boxing. In the early 1920s, he and his wife moved to Santa Barbara because “it was the prettiest place he’d ever seen,” recalled his grandson, Wilbur H. Tate. Otto worked briefly as a stone worker on the Hotel Californian and soon after opened his first club, The Cotton Club, located across the street from St. Paul AME Church on Haley Street. It was a place where multiple ethnicities drank, danced, and carried on together at a time in American history when Jim Crow laws and segregation were still enforced with terrifying results in other parts of the country. “Blacks and whites intermingled,” said Tate. “They had a ball.” In 1935, after a 10-year run, The Cotton Club was shut down when Santa Barbara mayor E.O. Hanson got into a headline-grabbing street brawl with a fellow night-clubber. Otto later opened a supper club, the Brown Derby Club, in the same location, and went on to form the Desert Inn Night Club in Las Vegas, purportedly the first integrated nightclub in the city.

Later in life, after retiring and moving back to her hometown of Anniston, Alabama, Valencia and several friends established what would become the largest repository of African American genealogical research information in the United States. The organization, AfriGeneas, was established in 1999 and continues to this day.

Floyd E. Norman, 1935While at Santa Barbara High School, Floyd Norman was introduced to and began assisting local cartoonist Bill Woggon, creator of the “Katy Keene” comics. After graduation, Floyd attended Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, and in his senior year, he was recruited by Walt Disney Studios, becoming the company’s first African-American cartoonist.

Valencia King Nelson, 1928-2019 In the early 1980s, Valencia Nelson and her husband, Herman, started a program that would one day become the Food Bank of Santa Barbara. At first they did it all themselves, distributing food to needy Eastside residents by renting a truck and picking up surplus government food in Oxnard. Valencia would go on to become a social worker for the county’s Welfare Department and specialized in helping new mothers with understanding the needs, both physical and emotional, of their infants. She was also an active member of Santa Barbara’s NAACP chapter.

To create these profiles, Snyder said, Society members consulted their own records and conducted extensive research at UCSB. They also sifted through birth records, wills, and newspaper clippings. But most helpful were the dozens of interviews, phone calls, and email exchanges with family members, who approved each mini-biography before it was published. Helping lead the effort were committee member E. Onja Brown and longtime Santa Barbara poet and peace activist Sojourner Kincaid Rolle. Below are four condensed samples of the 19 richly detailed accounts.

In 1958, Floyd took a hiatus from Disney to serve in the army in Korea. He was stationed near the DMZ for 14 months. He returned to the Disney Studios in 1960 and worked on such films as The Jungle Book, Mary Poppins, and Sleeping Beauty. Floyd left the studio upon Walt Disney’s death in 1966 and cofounded Vignette Films Inc., one of the first companies to produce films on subjects of Black history. More recently, he worked as a story artist for Pixar on Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc. “At the ripe old age of 85, I’m busier than ever,” Floyd said. “Many years ago, I sat in the library of Santa Barbara Junior High and determined one day I would go to Hollywood and create movies. I ended up doing just that.”

Anita Johnson Mackey, 1914The granddaughter of an emancipated slave, Anita Mackey became the first African-American supervisor in the Veteran Association’s outpatient clinic in Los Angeles before moving to Santa Barbara in 1964 when the VA opened an office here. A tireless advocate and ally for those in need, she would go on to serve on many local boards and commissions, including the Civil Service Commission, City Housing Authority, and Mental Health Advisory Board. She became one of the community’s first psychiatric social workers of color, and in 1976, she was named Santa Barbara Woman of the Year Anita and her husband, Harvey, who had no children of their own, adopted a 22-year-old young Nigerian man, Alexander Adekanmbi, who earned a PhD from the University of Oregon, became a college professor in Nigeria, and was elected chief of his community. Anita was also an extensive traveler throughout her life, visiting all seven continents and more than 130 countries. On January 5, 2021, she turned 107 years old. n

BASKING IN

Basque-rsfield W

ith a fond, foggy-yet-also-vivid memory of the

Before Times, my mind and notebook were recently taking me back to a trip I took in January of 2019. I ventured off to the unfairly maligned city of Bakersfield, on assignment to interview famed jazz vocalist Gregory Porter, but also with at least two other goals in mind: to help buck stereotypes and to pay homage to Buck … Owens, that is. The late country music star’s adopted hometown was dubbed “Nashville West” thanks to his

legacy, which is memorialized in his Crystal Palace venue. You can still dip into “Bakersfield sound” through displays at the Kern County Museum, where you learn that Buck actually followed his ex-wife Bonnie Campbell out west, where she later married Merle Haggard. The sprawling museum property even features the original “Haggard House,” a retooled and domesticated train car where that country star grew up. But my biggest surprise was learning that Bakersfield is an unparalleled haven for Basque food and culture. Thanks to the influx of Basque immigrants to the area starting in the

19th century and the rise of sheepherding, it’s the largest Basque community beyond Basque country. Memories of my enchanting visit to the Basque country of Northern Spain re-tickled my brain, where I snacked on WOOL WORTH THE TRIP: Dining at Wool elaborate small plate Growers — aptly named for a restaurant not fancies known as at all sheepish about its lamb offerings — became an adventure in serial eating. pintxos, the Basque variation on Spanish tapas. I couldn’t find any pintxos in Bakersfield, but suddenly I was eating a “Lamb Philly” at the large, warming eatery and watering hole of the Basque restaurant/bar/hangout Pyrenees Café. My plan to lunch at the well-known Basque cuisine destination of Noriega’s (founded 1893) — a shining jewel in a fairly desolate area down by the tracks and next to the Druids clubhouse — was foiled; one has to show up right at noon, for a group, family-style seating. Alas, Noriega’s goes back on the bucket list, but now in a new format: The Elizande family, which ran the storied place for 89 years, closed up shop during COVID times, and a new owner has taken over, but without a new location or opening date yet. In these eateries, the concept of a full meal goes the extra mile. Dining at Wool Growers — aptly named for a restaurant not at all sheepish about its lamb offerings — became an adventure in serial eating. I ordered breaded veal as a main dish, but pre-entree plates kept coming: beans, soup, two salads (tomato and green), bread and salsa, pasta, a large bowl of corn, French fries, and the indigenous coup de grâce: a small plate of pickled tongue. My waitress suggested blending the tongue with other flavors, or

as salad adornment, but I chose to allow its personal glory to emerge as a standalone delicacy. Oh, and red wine flows in the house, according to Basque eating rules of order. Apart from the Basque elements, there is more to life here than white-bread, transplanted-American Southern culture. Turning on local radio, you can soak in old (classic) and new (today’s) country music airwaves on KCWR, next to an Indian-Pakistani station, KWRU. My whirlwind Bakersfield trip included gastronomic Americana at PorkChop & Bubba’s BBQ and stops at the impressively renovated Padre Hotel (built in 1928 and extensively revamped in 2010), and over to Eye Street to down a cool one at the inviting dive bar Guthrie’s Alley Cat (the city’s oldest bar), with dazzling neon signage and an interior mural by Al Hirschfeld. I headed to the country-music-friendly Ethel’s Old Corral, which features a big, sentinel-like Native American statue out front waving howdy. On this slow Monday night, the featured event on the calendar was an arm-wrestling practice session outdoors on the patio. Although deprived of much actual country music, I caught the Tuesday Night Jazz workshop at Temblor Brewing Co. (site of the 1920 vintage Bakersfield Brewing Co.). Next stop: checking out raw, salty-tongued comics and rappers on “open mic night” at Jerry’s Pizza & Pub, once a gigging site for the city’s own Korn. Suffice it to say, there are many fine reasons to consider stopping by or even staying over in this overlooked spot along the Interstate 5. All you gotta do is act naturally, and n yes, go Basque.

Brings Wine to Draughtsmen New Law Allows Goleta Brewery to Make Wine ant a small-batch rosé

with that craft-brewed IPA? Or some syrah with your saison? Such offerings weren’t historically possible inside of a California brewery, but those questions are exactly what you might hear today at Draughtsmen Aleworks. The Goleta brewery is one of the first in the state to take advantage of a 2020 law that allows wine, spirits, BOTTLES, NOT BEER: Draughtsmen and cider to be made alongside Aleworks is now making and selling beer, and their first releases of Star Pine Cellars wine. Star Pine Cellars are now being served. “They were looking for someone who could produce the wine and utilize the space in a better way,” said Star Pine’s winemaker Brian McKinnon, a software engineer at LogMeIn by day who’d been making homemade wine for a few years and knew the Draughtsmen crew through brewery visits visits—he’ — he’s a “Lifetime Member” — and Sunday bicycle rides. “I already had a good relationship with them.” The collaboration uses the facility more efficiently, as certain beer processes can be quiet when wine needs attention, and vice versa. “There’s a whole lot of reuse,” said McKinnon. “For that reason, you’ll probably see more of this in the future.” Plus, the brewery was already equipped with certain tanks, glycol systems, and operational know-how around fermentation and sanitation ANN that got Star Pine off to a running start. BY MATT KETTM “Things like this were a huge advantage for a small producer starting out,” said McKinnon. For the inaugural 2020 vintage, McKinnon, who grew up off Turnpike Road, made 17 barrels of wine, including syrah and grenache from Ballard Canyon, roussanne from the Santa Ynez Valley, and a rosé of syrah, which was the first wine they served on draft. They’re also pouring pinot noir and viognier made elsewhere from previous vintages. Winemakers often express concern about their barrels being too close to brewing beer, which can have yeasts and bacteria that can spoil wine. McKinnon thinks such concerns are overblown. “We follow every sanitary practice and are careful about segmenting specific equipment so there is no cross-contamination,” he explained, further noting that Draughtsmen’s brewer Reno King isn’t interested in the sort of yeasts that are most harmful to wine. “Reno wants nothing to do with souring yeasts at all. We don’t have to worry about that.” For Draughtsmen cofounder Tami Snow, who opened the brewery with her partners in April 2016, the wine is just another way to connect with fans. “I feel like this gives us an advantage for another high-quality product that we can offer to people,” said Snow, explaining that Draughtsmen also produces cider and nonalcoholic hopped tea. “The idea is to make really small-batch beverages that span a bunch of different categories.” Not all laws have bent to their advantage, for Draughtsmen can’t yet sell Star Pine wines downtown at their Mosaic location on State Street. But they are hoping to get that approval soon from the state. As to the name, McKinnon took inspiration from his Mission Canyon home. “There happens to be this incredible star pine,” he explained of the view. “We sit out there quite often, watching sunsets and having a glass of wine. We wanted to have a name that reminds us of a good time, of a relaxing and fun atmosphere. It’s meaningful to us.”

or many Santa Barbarans, their first tastes of the

teff-based flatbread injera and spicy sega wat stew came from the kitchen of Saba Tewolde, who’s been sharing her Ethiopian cuisine with us for years. This weekend, she’ll embark on the next stage of her career, hosting a pop-up dinner on June 20 at Embermill to benefit the strife-ravaged Tigray region, which is her homeland, and then starting to serve lunch regularly at the Caribbean restaurant on State Street. “My dream since I was 7 years old was to open an Ethiopian restaurant,” explained Tewolde, who was invited to the Embermill kitchen by its owner, Harold Welch. The Saturday-night dinner is 5-10 p.m., and then lunches will be served noon-5 p.m., Monday-Saturday. Tewolde learned to cook from her grandmother during her childhood in Ethiopia, where food was a critical concern. “Growing up in Ethiopia was difficult because of the war and hunger,” explained Tewolde, who’s been catering Ethiopian meals around Santa Barbara for years. “Many people escaped as refugees. I was one of those people who had to escape to survive.” She fled to Saudi Arabia, which was interesting from a food perspective, but not for equality as a woman. “Women have no opportunities there,” she said. “I was searching for freedom, and I found my freedom in the United States.” It took about a decade for her to adapt to American culture, but she credits “wonderful friends” for making it easier to function. She started her catering company while also working as a caregiver. The benefit is personal for her. “The reason I am doing this is because, in my hometown, many people are being raped and killed and suffer because of war and famine,” she said of Tigray, where government and humanitarian reports reveal that an ethnic cleansing is underway. “This will give me an opportunity to help my people.”

ACT

The Santa Barbara Alliance for Community Transformation (SB ACT) exists to equip the community to lovingly engage the marginalized while actively working for the betterment of their physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental needs.

Since 2005, SB ACT has worked with and for marginalized populations to address broad-reaching inequities ranging from homelessness to human trafficking to healthcare access.

There are over 900 individuals experiencing homelessness in the City of Santa Barbara (source: 2020 Point In Time Count), and we all feel the impacts. SB ACT initiated the ACT on Homelessness (AOH) Collaborative in 2019 in partnership with the City of Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Foundation. The AOH Collaborative is committed to reducing and preventing homelessness and its impacts in the City of Santa Barbara by working in partnership using a variety of innovative solutions.

HOMELESSNESS

MYTHS AND REALITIES Myth #1: Homelessness has increased significantly since the start of the pandemic. A September 2020 census of those experiencing homelessness in the City of Santa Barbara revealed that the numbers have not significantly increased since January 2020 (Source: 2020 City Net Census). However, encampments and individuals sitting and sleeping in public spaces for extended periods have been increasingly visible due to local adherence to COVID-19 public health guidelines and adherence to a recent 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision preventing regular public sidewalk, street, and public property sweeps if there are not enough emergency shelter beds to refer individuals to (Source: Martin v. City of Boise, 2019). Myth #2: Santa Barbara attracts individuals experiencing homelessness by offering an abundance of services. Sky-high housing costs, racial and economic inequities, a lack of shelter beds/navigation centers/permanent supportive housing/low-barrier subsidized housing, and the limited capacity of local service providers are all contributors to homelessness in Santa Barbara (Source: 2020 SB County Grand Jury Report). What’s more, lower-paying jobs were the fastest growing job markets from 2011-2019 (Goods Producing and Leisure & Hospitality, industries that employ disproportionately more people of color) (Source: UCSB Economic Forecast Project Report, 2021). Lower-paying jobs were also some of the hardest-hit last year, with drops in employment between 15-40% (Source: SB County COVID-19 Impact Report). Additionally, the 2020 Point in Time Count found that 76% of those experiencing homelessness were living in Santa Barbara County when they first entered homelessness. The data indicates that individuals are not “migrating” to our community; they have been here the whole time. Myth #3: There’s nothing I can do to help. Everyone — we mean everyone — has a part to play in reducing the impacts of homelessness in our community. Read on to find out how you can help.

With (SB ACT’s) vast partnership network, they have been able to get critical support to people living on the streets, reconnect them with their families, to resources and to permanent housing despite extraordinarily challenging conditions. While there is still concerted work to be done that the entire community needs to support, SB ACT has also been responsive to the needs of the business community… (they are) an undervalued community resource that we should all be thankful for and make sure has ample resources to do their good work. -Robin Elander, Executive Director, Downtown Santa Barbara

The Collaborative also has a goal of 100 “street exits” by the end of 2021, meaning that individuals move into temporary shelter, bridge/transitional housing, permanent housing, or are “diverted” from homelessness to live with family or friends. To these ends, the Collaborative is committed to strategies such as identifying vacant sites evenly across every City district for housing & shelter developments, building the city’s capacity for bridge housing, and more. The Collaborative has four Working Groups addressing the strategic plan goals: •H ousing & Shelter •H ousing Retention •H omelessness Prevention • L ived Experience (engaging those with lived experience with homelessness in Collaborative leadership)

The Collaborative also has four “Regional Action Plans” (RAPs) meeting weekly to address immediate concerns in “hotspot” neighborhoods: • S tate Street •E astside •W aterfront •A lameda Park

This year, Collaborative partners have facilitated 21 street exits (Source: March 2021 City Net Report), implemented 90-day impact reduction plans at three high-impact sites, and hosted diversion, de-escalation, and Psychological First Aid trainings to equip partners and community members.

(SB ACT) understands how homelessness impacts tourism, which is critical to our local economy, and effectively balances the needs of our business community in the pursuit of compassionate solutions that always put people first.

S Take ACTion B The time is NOW to take action. The number experiencing homelessness increased gradually from 2017 to 2020 (Source: Point in Time Counts 2017-2020), and the pandemic has set the stage for even higher numbers in the future thanks to a doubled unemployment rate countywide (Source: Lompoc Record, October 2020) and the looming threat of evictions as the nationwide moratorium ends June 30. If we want to turn the tide, we need businesses, faith communities, educational institutions, and community members. Everyone has a part to play. Below are some actions you can take to address impacts of homelessness in our community: Listen for Opportunities. Join SB ACT’s newsletter at www.sbact.org/homelessness to stay up to date, engage with a Working Group or RAP, or learn about volunteer and advocacy opportunities. Use Your Voice. Lasting solutions for homelessness require strong community support. Join SB ACT in providing letters of support, public comment, and more to encourage City and County efforts to expand shelter, housing, and outreach. Give. Coordinating a cross-sector Citywide coalition to address one of our community’s biggest social issues is no small matter. To sustain our collaborative work, SB ACT relies on funding from the City and private foundations, but also from supporters like you. Donate today at www.sbact.org/give.

When we work together, we harness our collective power to achieve sustainable solutions. The AOH Collaborative is a call to our community for actionoriented strategies that are rooted in compassion and genuine concern for one other. - Jackie Carrera, President & CEO, Santa Barbara Foundation

UCSB MUSIC DEPARTMENT PRESENTS VIRTUAL CONCERTS

ven in the face of a freeze on live music, Santa Barbara’s cultural life has been down, but not out. While we were all mostly quarantined at home, we still heard many notable workaround projects, including those presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures, the Santa Barbara Symphony, the Music Academy of the West, Opera Santa Barbara (those great Ventura drive-ins!), and streaming concerts from the Lobero and the Marjorie Luke theaters. To that distinguished list, the UCSB Music Department must be added for putting its considerable energy and resources into presenting multiple virtual concerts, often with performers syncing from farflung locales. The department’s semester-end concerts reached an impressive pitch this month with a slate of shows that, thanks to a positive twist in the online music realm, will remain available indefinitely on the Music Department’s YouTube channel. Online viewers can now soak in such options as the Gospel Choir, Chamber Orchestra, and Young Artists String Quartet, along with pianist Natasha Kislenko’s delightful program of rarely heard music by “Les Six” composers. Two of these recent online concerts, one by the Chamber Choir led by Nicole Lamartine and the other by UCSB Jazz Ensemble led by Jon Nathan, utilized pioneering technology with thanks to a faculty member at another Santa Barbara institution. Starting last fall, Santa Barbara City

College music professor and jazz band director Jim Mooy became the first adopter of the interactive Jamulus software in the United States. Jamulus allows internetconnected musicians to perform together live, minus the inherent latency problem of such programs as Zoom. Mooy has championed Jamulus all over town, first by using it to present SBCC Jazz Ensemble concerts, and then by sharing it with other educators, including everyone from Stephen Hughes at La Colina Junior High to the students and faculty of the UCSB Music Department. In the case of these two UCSB performances, Mooy also participated as the live mixer. In Voila, the Chamber Choir used the technology to create an impressive choral weave. The Jazz Ensemble concert demonstrated how the Jamulus platform can even accommodate the tricky jazz-centric attributes of swing and improvisation. One of the Music Department’s most valuable long-standing traditions has been its Ensemble for Contemporary Music (ECM) concerts, and this one represented a significant juncture for the program, which

was founded by composer William Kraft in the early 1990s and led by composer Jeremy Haladyna until just last year. The ECM is now in good hands with a talented new director, Dr. Sarah Gibson. Gibson offered a hint of her agenda and predilections with a program featuring two young, living composers — Aidan Gold, was born in 1997, and Nicole Chamberlain, whose Crosswalk was a ripe solo showcase for graduating UCSB flutist Jordana Schaeffer. The program’s centerpiece came from the late, great Pauline Oliveros, a philosophical advocate of “deep listening,” whose entrancing new music ideals were highly individualistic. Oliveros’s Thirteen Changes for Malcolm Goldstein (1986) involves lines of text upon which musicians interpret and pass forward materials to others. The ensemble for Thirteen Changes included Stewart Engart on accordion, which was Oliveros’s instrument of choice. After the opening, “Standing naked in the moonlight — Music washing the body,” other sections, including “Songs of ancient mothers among awesome rocks” and “Rollicking monkeys landing on Mars,” were accompanied by lyrical abstract visual components courtesy of the UCSB Art Department. During the jazz ensemble concert, leader Nathan thanked Mooy for his technical help, adding, with a laugh, “I hope we never have to do this again.” Yes, but thankfully, resourceful retooling such as this gave us something to listen to and think about from our bunkers. —Josef Woodard

MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY INSPIRES

When your band forms in a place called the San Marcos Trout Club, why not honor the mountain community’s natural inspiration by taking that unique moniker as your own? That’s what Quique Hernandez-Black, Malcolm Bobro, Cedric Bobro, and Kai Zheng decided to do by calling their rock band Trout Club. Friends since attending elementary at the Open Alternative School in Santa Barbara, the four — all former SBCC students, and three of four attending UCSB — started playing classic rock cover songs together about five years ago. “Eventually, after grinding cover song after cover song into the ground, we took to writing our own original tunes,” said Zheng, who plays lead guitar and keyboards. Hernandez-Black handles lead vocals and banjo, while Malcolm plays bass and Cedric bangs the drums. They released the EP Welcome to the Trout Club in December 2019 and graced such stages as SOhO, Earl Warren Showgrounds, and Cold Spring Tavern. Their single “Dreamboy,” which came out in March 2020, tallied nearly 8,500 downloads, and Peyote Pictures produced their first music video “Only a Boy” in late 2020,

clocking more than 1,200 views so far. During the pandemic, they worked on their follow-up recording from their own homes. “We thought that the songs we wanted to record were at a good place anyway, and we resorted to recording from each of our separate homes,” said Zheng, who’s been using high-tech tools like video chat and Google Drive but also a simple metronome to get the job done. “So far, we’ve been really digging what we’ve come up with.”The forthcoming single called “Space” is one early result. With the pandemic easing up, Trout Club is starting to play live again, with upcoming shows at M.Special in Goleta on June 23, 6-8 p.m., and Earl Warren Showgrounds during the Santa Barbara Fair & Expo on June 25 and 26. “Being able to play live shows and see actual faces feels very surreal,” said Zheng. “This summer, we’re just focusing on playing as much live music as possible and expanding our audience as much as we can.” See linktr.ee/TroutClub. —Matt Kettmann

AT THE EDGES

School’s out at Westmont College, meaning it’s time for the enticing annual tri-county artist showcase at the school’s Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. Noted Tijuana-born artist Marcos Ramirez ERRE curated At the Edges: Tri-County Juried Exhibition, a rich, hip, varied, socially conscious aesthetic assortment. Among the well-known area artists included are Inga Guzyte, who won first prize for “The Pearl Girl Savior,” which fuses cultures with guts and an uncanny eye, and assemblage artist Susan Tibbles, who was honored for a tragi-candied ode to Trayvon Martin. Cooled irony and the altered everyday figure in Jim Bess’s minimal, retooled tools and in the guitar-strap chic of James Van Arsdale’s “A l i v e i n t h e Present Moment” (such a timely message). Gail Pine combines a found photograph with a pressed leaf to wistful ends in “The Cutting Edge #1,” a miniature work, Jim Bess while Jo Merit wields vivid colors and jagged edges in her color field painting gone gonzo. A reminder of our times seeps through in Jean-Marie Hamel’s rightly hero-worshipping “Brave Warrior,” a portrait of a nurse. This show is a ripe excuse to visit the idyllic campus and museum. —JW

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Aries playwright Tennessee Wil-

liams was honest about the trickery he engaged in as he composed his entertaining masterpieces. “I don’t want realism,” he exclaimed. “I want magic! Yes, yes, magic! I try to give that to people.” I fully support you, Aries, if you would like to make that your goal in the next three weeks. In my astrological opinion, you and the people in your life have more than a mild need for magic. Your ability to thrive depends on you all getting big doses of magic.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): On my wall is a poster that says, “Avoid

the Tragic Magic Triad: taking things too personally, taking things too seriously, and taking things too literally.” This advice doesn’t refer to important matters, like my health or my ongoing fight against our culture’s bigotry. I take those issues very personally, seriously, and literally. Rather, the motto refers to trivial and transitory issues, like the new dent made in my car by a hit-and-run driver in the Whole Foods parking lot, or the bad review of my book on Amazon.com, or the $18 that a certain Etsy seller cheated me out of, or the joke about the size of my nose that some supposed friend made on Twitter. According to my reading of astrological omens, Taurus, you would benefit right now from meditating on things like these that you take too seriously, personally, and literally. Here’s Don Miguel Ruiz: “There is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I remember wishing I could be

boiled like water and made pure again,” writes poet Jeffrey McDaniel. Judging from the current astrological omens, Gemini, I think you could be made reasonably pure again without having to endure an ordeal like being boiled like water. Do you have ideas about how to proceed? Here are mine: (1) Spend 15 minutes alone. With your eyes closed, sitting in a comfortable chair, forgive everyone who has hurt you. Do the best you

can. Perfection isn’t necessary. (2) Spend another 15 minutes alone, same deal. Forgive yourself of everything you’ve done that you think of as errors. Perfection isn’t required. (3) Spend another 15 minutes alone. Imagine what it would be like to unconditionally love yourself exactly as you are. (4) Spend another 15 minutes alone. Remember 10 amazing moments that you enjoyed between ages 5 and 13.

wouldn’t normally authorize you to share her perspective, but I will now. The astrological omens suggest you have something important to learn from being more enamored and adoring than usual. If you say YES to the deluge of yearning, you’ll gain access to a type of power that will prove very useful to you in the coming months.

CANCER

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran author Oscar Wilde disproved

(June 21-July 22): On June 23, 1940, Wilma Rudolph was born prematurely to a family that already had 19 other children. During her childhood, she suffered from pneumonia, scarlet fever, polio, and infant paralysis. The latter two diseases damaged her left leg, and she wore a brace until she was 12 years old. Nevertheless, by the time she was in high school, she had become a very good athlete. Eventually she competed in the Olympics, where she won four medals and earned the title “the fastest woman in history.” I propose that we name her your official role model for the rest of 2021. May she inspire you to overcome and transcend your own personal adversity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo-born P.L. Travers wrote the children’s books about Mary Poppins, a nanny with magical powers. She was thoroughly familiar with folklore, ancient myths, and the occult. The character of Mary Poppins, Travers said, was a version of the Mother Goddess. But in her writing process, she drew inspiration mainly from what she thought of as the vast dark nothingness. She wrote, “I’ve become convinced that the great treasure to possess is the unknown.” To generate her tales, she listened to silence and emptiness. I recommend you emulate her approach as you create the next chapter of your life story.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo poet Melissa Broder writes, “Romantic obsession is my first language. I live in a world of fantasies, infatuations and love poems.” I

LIBRA the misconception that Libras are wishy-washy, overly eager to compromise, and inclined to overthink everything. His writing had wit and flair, and his life was vivid and daring. He wrote, “There are moments when one has to choose between living one’s own life, fully, entirely, completely — or dragging out some false, shallow, degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands.” I suspect that one of those pivotal moments will soon be coming up for you. Be Wilde-like!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Congratulations on being such a duty-

bound, no-nonsense adult. May you continue to ply your dogged persistence and beast-of-burden attitude as long as it gets important tasks done, helps you feel useful, and doesn’t make you sick. But if you do get tempted to depart from the sacrificial path anytime soon, please know that you will not offend any gods or demons. Nor will you incur a karmic debt. In fact, I believe you have cosmic clearance to dabble with lightheartedness for a while. You should feel free to experiment with fun and games that appeal to your sense of wonder.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “I can barely conceive of a type of

the light that falls continually from the sky gives a tree the energy to push powerful roots into the earth. The tree is actually rooted in the sky.” As you bolster your foundations in the coming months, as you deepen your roots, I hope you keep Weil’s brilliant observation in mind. Like a tree, the nourishment that will help you grow the stamina and strength and structure you need will come as you turn to the brightest, warmest, highest sources of inspiration.

beauty in which there is no melancholy,” wrote poet Charles Baudelaire. What?! That makes no sense. I’m aware of millions of beautiful things that aren’t tinctured with melancholy. California’s Mount Shasta in the late spring twilight, for example. New York City’s Guggenheim Museum, a gorgeous gleaming building designed by genius architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The Marmore waterfalls in central Italy. The gardens of painter Claude Monet in Normandy, France. David Byrne’s gloriously hopeful website, ReasonsToBe Cheerful.world. I mention this, Aquarius, because I expect life to bring you a flood of non-melancholic beauty in the coming days. Take advantage of this grace to replenish your trust in life.

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To be in groovy alignment with cos-

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Piscean author César Aira praises the value of escaping one’s memories. He writes, “Forgetting is like a great alchemy free of secrets, transforming everything to the present.” I’d love to see you enjoy alchemy like that in the coming weeks, dear Pisces. It’s a favorable time to lose at least some of the inhibitions and limitations you think you have to accept because of what happened in the past. As Aira says, forgetting “makes our lives into a visible and tangible thing we hold in our hands, with no folds left hidden in the past.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Philosopher Simone Weil wrote, “Only

mic rhythms, you won’t merely walk, and you certainly won’t trudge. Rather, you will saunter and ramble and promenade. You will strut and rove and prowl. Likewise, you won’t just talk, and you certainly won’t mutter or grumble. Instead, you will banter, rhapsodize, improvise, beguile, and lyricize. Catch my drift? You won’t simply laugh but will chortle, cackle, and guffaw. In other words, Sagittarius, you are authorized to imbue everything you do with style, panache, and imagination.

UBICACIÓN Y DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PROYECTO: las regulaciones sobre los Recursos Arqueológicos y Tribales Culturales se aplicarán en toda la ciudad, incluyendo las áreas de la Ciudad dentro de la Zona Costera.

Habrá una copia disponible del borrador de las provisiones en https://www.cityofgoleta. org/projects-programs/historic-preservation REVISIÓN AMBIENTAL: conforme con la sección 21083.3 del Código sobre Recursos Públicos y la Sección 15183 de las Guías de la Ley de Calidad Medioambiental de California (CEQA por sus siglas en inglés), los proyectos consistentes con la densidad de desarrollo de reglamentos existentes de zonificación, plan de la comunidad o el Plan General por los cuales el Informe del Impacto al Medio Ambiente (EIR por sus siglas en inglés) fue certificado, deben estar exentos de un análisis adicional de CEQA excepto cuando pueda ser necesario para determinar si hay efectos significativos específicos del proyecto que son peculiares al proyecto o al lugar, que de otra manera requerirían una revisión adicional de CEQA. No hay información sustancial nueva que indique que los impactos del proyecto serán más severos que lo descrito en el Plan General del EIR cuando se adoptó el Elemento de Recursos Visuales e Históricos y no hay impactos acumulativos o fuera del área del proyecto propuesto que no se abordaran en el Plan General del EIR. Por definición, la Ordenanza está exenta de una revisión adicional de CEQA. Además, conforme con las Guías §15061(b)(3) y §15378(b)(5) de CEQA, la Ordenanza propuesta no califica como un “proyecto” para los propósitos de CEQA porque la Ordenanza no resulta en cambios físicos directos o indirectos en el medio ambiente.

PLACE:

Given the local, state, and national state of emergency, this meeting will be a teleconferenced meeting with detailed instructions for participation included on the posted agenda.

PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: The Archaeological and Tribal Cultural Resources regulations would apply citywide, including all areas of the City within the Coastal Zone. At the meeting of June 28, 2021, the Planning Commission will commence review of the proposed regulations, solicit input from the public to provide input on the addition of Chapter 17.43 to the Goleta Municipal Code. A copy of the draft provisions will be available at: https:// www.cityofgoleta.org/projects-programs/historic-preservation Environmental Review: Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183, projects that are consistent with the development density of existing zoning, community plan, or General Plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified shall be exempt from additional CEQA analysis except as may be necessary to determine whether there are project-specific significant effects that are peculiar to the project or site that would otherwise require additional CEQA review. There is no new substantial information indicating that the impacts of the project will be more severe than described in the General Plan EIR when the Visual and Historic Resources Element was adopted and there are no cumulative or off-site impacts from the proposed project that were not addressed in the General Plan EIR. As such, the Ordinance is exempt from further CEQA review. In addition, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3) and §15378(b)(5), the proposed Ordinance does not qualify as a “project” for the purposes of CEQA because the Ordinance does not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. The amendments proposed do not, by themselves, have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. Any subsequent development project will be separately examined in accordance with CEQA. As such, the proposed Ordinance is exempt from CEQA review.
