UNCERTAIN TIMES DEMAND A CERTAIN SHERIFF. EXTENSIVE EDUCATIONAL AND EXECUTIVE CREDENTIALS

Being a sheriff today requires a chief executive who knows the job inside out. One who knows how to prepare, how to enforce, and how to collaborate.

WITH AN EAR TO OUR COMMUNITY, HE ALSO HAS A VOICE IN D.C. A SHERIFF IS FORGED UNDER FIRE It’s been a tough 15 years with unprecedented crises: Fires, mudslide, dive boat fire, Covid, an opioid crisis, and massive budget cuts. But there has always been one constant – the strength and leadership of Sheriff Bill Brown. Sheriff Brown has faced each challenge with skill, compassion, and a wisdom borne of experience. He knows that part of keeping us safe also includes helping the vulnerable, including crime victims and those with mental health and addiction issues.

Thanks to Sheriff Brown’s impressive record of transparent leadership in Santa Barbara County and throughout California, he has been elected as the Vice President of the Major County Sheriffs of America, and will become its President in 2024. This is an honor and provides our county with a voice on national policy that will affect us locally.

Sheriff Brown is an experienced law enforcement chief executive. He has a Master’s degree from USC and has graduated from many of the top law enforcement executive programs in the nation. He is the only person ever elected by peers to serve as President of both the California Police Chiefs’ Association and the California State Sheriffs’ Association. And he was appointed by Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jerry Brown to serve since 2010 on California’s Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission.

A SHERIFF FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY

A MODERN, PROACTIVE NORTHERN BRANCH JAIL COVID, DEFUND THE POLICE, OPIOIDS & BUDGET CUTS It’s easy to blame external obstacles when the going gets tough. Not Sheriff Bill Brown. Despite major budget shortfalls, he secured $80 million in state funding for the modern Northern Branch Jail, which is now open. Despite the nationwide movement to Defund the Police, Sheriff Brown has maintained steady leadership and collaborated with others by teaming deputies with clinicians to help keep mentally ill people out of the criminal justice system. He’s working with other key community leaders to develop a multi-disciplinary approach to help tackle the opioid crisis and save lives. He’s also worked hard to help those suffering from mental illness and addictions.

Sheriff Bill Brown is a strong crime fighter, but he recognizes that many factors contribute to breaking the law. With the state-of-the-art design at the Northern Branch Jail, his influence is helping provide inmates with enhanced education, addiction control and life-skills training to better prepare them for re-entry to society.

Working closely with our diverse community, Sheriff Brown is proud to say his team of deputies and support staff reflects that diversity. His many collaborations with community leaders, and city, county, state and national organizations have resulted in a safer, stronger and more unified community.

On June 7th, Vote to Re-Elect Sheriff Bill Brown. Visit www.BillBrownforSheriff.com to see a list of over 1,000 people from all walks of life who have endorsed Sheriff Brown. 2

When did you start noticing that you liked reading/writing? Did you have a favorite author growing up? I loved reading as a kid and I still do. I grew up on Judy Blume and Beverly Cleary. Nowadays, my Kindle is all over the place with authors and genres. I just started The Club by Ellery Lloyd.

How do you know so much about grammar and editing? Do you own the Chicago Manual of Style? Before joining the Indy, I was more familiar with AP style than Chicago, so I am learning! I use the Chicago manual as my pillow right now, and I think it’s helping. Copy editing involves a ton of rules, but if you enjoy reading and writing, paying attention to the finer points — and referencing authoritative sources on a regular basis — becomes almost second nature. Who do you want to meet — in S.B., and in the world? I don’t have a ready answer, but I can tell you that I got to meet Jerry Garcia once, backstage. As a young Deadhead on tour, going to shows was like going to church for me, so meeting the leader of the band felt reverential. I was awestruck and managed only to ask for an autograph. My friend Esther, always more composed than I, blurted out, “We’re big fans.” Ha! It was an incredible moment that I’ll never forget.

For the past 20 years, Joe Holland has made the county’s elections train run on time, an amazing feat most voters have never particularly noticed. But that’s the way Holland likes it, since when elections officials are making headlines, it typically means something has gone badly wrong. With his very able staff, Holland has quietly toiled in the shadows, expanding the ways residents can vote without sacrifi cing the integrity of the results. And the results have been exemplary. During the COVID shutdown of 2020, in an effort to limit health risks to voters, Holland joined other state election officers in

forcing Governor Gavin Newsom to authorize an allmail ballot for the first time in California history. Even Republican Party apparatchiks — who for decades have been raising fears of voting abuse in Isla Vista — conceded the election results were squeaky clean. Not a small achievement. Holland has worked for the County of Santa Barbara in various capacities since 1984, but he was first elected county elections czar in 2002, the same year Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor in a recall election. In that race, Holland was forced to improvise when it turned out he

failed to order enough ballots, but since then, it’s been relatively smooth sailing. In fact, the only significant challenge Holland’s election results have ever encountered took place in 2008 when a sore loser running for the 3rd Supervisorial District alleged widespread voter fraud in Isla Vista. When the case went to trial, the judge ruled not a single case of fraud had been demonstrated and dismissed the lawsuit as “frivolous and tantamount to misleading the court.” Holland also holds down the fort as county assessor and clerk recorder. In most years, those posts are too administratively boring to fight over.

This year, however, the Trump-inspired wing of the Republican Party has run candidates for elections offices throughout the nation. In Santa Barbara, Elrawd MacLearn, a county environmental services inspector and politically alienated change agent, is challenging Holland. We learned a long time ago that change for its own sake is rarely entertaining and almost never advisable. Holland and his team have done a solid and commendable job ensuring that our votes are counted professionally, competently, and thoroughly over the years without fear or favor toward any party. We can ask for no more.

Steve Lavagnino (800) 741-1605 YOUR LOCAL AUTO CLUB BRANCH

Check Your Mailbox For Your Ballot Given that Steve Lavagnino is running unopposed yet again — for the third time — this endorsement might seem superfluous. But we’re endorsing Lavagnino anyway to make a larger point: Intelligence, heart, and humor matter. The entire county has benefitted considerably from the levity, candor, and consideration he unfailingly brings to supervisorial deliberations. Until Trump was elected to the White House, Lavagnino was that rare Republican who believed that government could do good. He has since re-registered as a Declined-to-State. Either way, he has consistently represented a remarkably pragmatic brand of pro-business conservativism without getting doctrinaire, aggrieved, or personal about it. Yes, Lavagnino — along with Supervisor Das Williams — has

worked to create a thriving cannabis industry, a little too quickly and with too broad a stroke. It resulted in numerous problems and controversies, but Lavagnino has been blunt about why he pushed it forward: If oil revenues are out in Santa Barbara, other sources of revenue are necessary if the county can expand programs for mental health and those facing homelessness. Lavagnino, a former stand-up comedian, has used his wit to make his case, elevating the tone and tenor of board discourse. At a time when many elected bodies find themselves rendered dysfunctional by personality conflict, the board of supervisors has achieved a remarkable degree of functionality and collegiality. It has been refreshing.

Giant Wind Turbines Coming to the Morro Bay Coast

ENVIRONMENT An alliance formed by Ventura County, the City of Ojai, and a number of environmental groups is suing the U.S. Forest Service to prevent trees on Pine Mountain and Reyes Peak from coming under the ax. In 2020, the Forest Service proposed to log 755 acres of trees killed or affected by pine beetle infestation, drought, and overpopulation. One-third of the area, which is very popular with hikers and campers, has never been logged before and is proposed for wilderness protection. Project opponents state trees as large as five feet in diameter could be logged and are part of the “sky island,” or higher altitude ecosystem. The full story is at independent.com/pinemountainlawsuit.

by Jean Yamamura oughly 17 miles off Morro Bay, the U.S. government plans to lease an area just smaller than Hong Kong to wind energy companies to create more electricity than Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant’s 2,200 megawatts. Though the ocean may seem vast and fathomless, the proposal has already identified that commercial ships and the U.S. Navy are active in the 376-squaremile area—a fact that required a negotiation with the Navy Secretary. It has also set off alarm bells for fisherman in Santa Barbara and in neighboring harbors. Power turbines harnessing the wind grow larger every year, with the most powerful the height of the Statue of Liberty with a wingspan of two-and-a-half football fields. They’re being tested in Denmark and the Netherlands, rated to generate 15 megawatts of power, enough to run 18,000 European households. The “sweep” of the turbine blades encompasses an area equal to the size of Dwight Murphy Field, or 10 vertical acres in the sky. The first of several environmental assessments in the United States is being conducted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). So far, no leases have been sold. Another set of studies will be done post-leasing by several companies, who will use buoys to determine weather and wind conditions, as well as to conduct bathymetric (underwater topography) studies as the giant floating tur-

Santa Barbara Fishermen Worry about Sea Life and Their Livelihood

bine construction projects continue down the development and approval process including environmental studies. Congressmember Salud Carbajal, a staunch champion of Morro Bay’s offshore wind project, negotiated an agreement with Navy Secretary Kenneth Braithwaite when conflicting uses threatened to scuttle the project in 2020. The Navy had found that windfarm operations in federal waters could affect aircraft systems and training preparation for overseas deployments. Though Carbajal persuaded the Navy of the importance of windgenerated energy for the West Coast, Braithwaite stated the risk to training missions was “acceptable” as long as there was a moratorium on further windfarms in military operating areas. Carbajal called it a win, saying, “Offshore wind holds incredible promise as a means to SPINNING ENERGY: Uniquely visible from sea, the windfarm at tackle climate change while also Jalama holds turbines 427-492 feet in height, taller than floating creating economic opportunity, turbines currently in development. and the Central Coast is uniquely

poised to reap the benefits.” All told, the wind is expected to generate 2,924 megawatts, enough to power more than a million homes. California’s state waters that lie two-and-ahalf miles off Vandenberg Space Force Base will be the testing grounds for several wind platforms. The area is notoriously windy; more than 50 shipwrecks lie under the waves, including the seven destroyers that went off course in heavy fog in 1923 and ran aground at Point Honda, killing 23 seamen. Two companies have applied for permits from the State Lands Commission to moor four platforms each, connected together with cables, and an energy cable conveying electricity onshore to substations on the base. The CADEMO project by Cierco Projects Corporation of Palm Springs, which lies off Point Honda, proposes to test two platform designs for turbines of 12-15 megawatts. Ideol U.S.A., owned by a French company that has floated wind turbines off the French coast since 2018, plans to install and then decommission floating barges holding 10-megawatt turbines moored to the seabed off Point Arguello.

Spurred in part by the prevalence of remote work and increased internet activity in households during the pandemic, the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) is working to expand the region’s broadband service through the Broadband Strategic Plan. On 5/10, City Council heard the latest on these plans, which is a collaborative effort between Santa Barbara, Ventura, and San Luis Obispo counties through the Broadband Consortium of the Pacific Coast (BCPC). It is in response to state legislation and the California Broadband for All initiative, which aims to “close the digital divide” by expanding high-speed internet access statewide. For the past two years, Barbara Andersen has played a key role with the Santa Barbara Alliance for Community Transformation, which has been spearheading collaborative efforts to get homeless people off the streets and into housing. City Administrator Rebecca Bjork just appointed Andersen to fill the vacancy created when former assistant city administrator Nina Johnson departed. Andersen brings with her 10 years of experience in high-octane philanthropy, most recently with the Santa Barbara Foundation and prior to that with the Orfalea Foundation.

EDUCATION The County Education Office announced the 2023 Teacher of the Year to be Joanna Hendrix, a special education deaf and hard of hearing instructor from the Orcutt Union School District. She incorporates intuitive learning methods in her classroom of 3- to 6-year-old students at Ralph Dunlap Elementary School, some of whom arrive in her class frustrated that they can’t express themselves fully or understand the world around them. Hendrix said she made the space inviting, safe, inclusive, accessible, and visually stimulating. “Despite the frequent assumption that my class is quiet, my deaf students are a lively and boisterous group of inquisitive young learners.” n MAY 12, 2022

of raising funds for charities. When Harry’s brother, Prince William, played at the Santa Barbara club’s Centennial Celebration in 2011, part of the negotiations were that a portion of ticket proceeds go to his charity. Sigman noted that while the announcement of the Prince playing here has brought a lot of attention to the club, Opening Day was sold out before the announcement. Despite all the excitement and publicity, the club is keeping its primary focus, according to Sigman, on tournament play and the sport that it loves. Getting to see Prince Harry play is a bit tricky, because matches are played on three fields at the polo club, which are open to the public, but also on a few private fields, which are off limits to the public, and with limited exceptions, field assignments aren’t made too far in advance. Some assignments are made the day of the match. On May 1, during Opening Weekend, Los Padres won the Harry East Memorial on the West Coast, 17-10. Magrini was named most valuable player for spectacular play that resulted in 11 of the goals. Prince Harry—or Harry Wales, as he prefers for polo—impressed the crowd with a run the length of the field that culminated in a score with a neck shot. The high score, Sigman related, shows that this team is not here to just have fun—they are here to win some tournaments. A combination of factors — horses coming here from the U.S. Open, the conditions of the club’s fields, the perfect weather, and the adrenaline of players — is resulting, according to Sigman, in some very competitive, high-scoring matches.

Dayspring Associate Drops North County Cannabis Application

business associate of Helios Dayspring, the Central Coast pot grower who pleaded guilty last summer to felony charges of bribery and tax fraud, has withdrawn his application for cannabis zoning permits on two private in-holdings in the Los Padres National Forest east of Santa Maria, county records show. The two properties — Dayspring owns one and shares ownership of the other with Michael Siegfried of Roseville, California — are located along an oak-studded ridge just east of Tepusquet Canyon, a picturesque rural neighborhood of about 375 homes. Siegfried was seeking permits to grow five acres of cannabis under hoops. He took over the permit applications last August, as the manager of Depp Mts. 3 and 4, a newly created limited liability company with the same business address as a pot shop that Dayspring opened in Grover Beach. Since 2019, county and state records show, cannabis operations on the two Los Padres properties have racked up a host of zoning and water quality violations that still have not been corrected, including ille-

gal grading; illegal expansion of cannabis plantings; illegal trailers, lighting, generators, hoop houses, and water tanks; leaking tanks of fertilizer; and growing marijuana too close to a creek. Siegfried did not respond to a request for comment this week, but his withdrawal and Dayspring’s guilty plea seemingly mark the end of their efforts to grow cannabis here, since the 1,575-acre cap on North County cannabis cultivation has already been reached. “This is about as good news as we can expect,” said Dave Clary, who for years headed up a cannabis “crisis committee” in Tepusquet Canyon with his wife, Lil. “Frankly, Dayspring has just kissed everybody off…. We don’t want him around.” Dayspring is scheduled to be sentenced in the U.S. District Court of Los Angeles on May 27; he faces up to 13 years in prison for tax evasion in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties and bribery of a San Luis Obispo County supervisor. Court records show that the bribe was $32,000, and that Dayspring must pay the Internal Revenue —Melinda Burns Service $3.4 million.

Remains of the Day by Nick Welsh he Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History turned over to the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians the partial remains of about 1,000 Chumash and pre-Chumash people who had lived throughout the South Coast over a time span of 13,000 years. In addition, UCSB turned over the human remains of 400 individuals and nearly 4,000 funerary objects. Most of these were unearthed when the UCSB campus was first being built in 1950 and date back as far as 4,000 years. This historic transfer was done in accordance with the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, a law requiring museums and institutions of higher learning to turn over such remains and artifacts to federally recognized Native American representatives upon request. That request was issued in late October 2021 by the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. The last of the remains, as well as

In a carefully crafted press release issued by both the Santa Ynez Band and the Museum of Natural History, Tribal Chairman Kenny Kahn stated, “These items have come home to our tribe, and it allows us to do the important work of repatriation and reburial. We will continue to have a close working relationship with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and consider it to be a collaborative partner in the community.” Museum director Luke Swetland added, “The Museum has been honored to care for this important cultural heritage for many years and finds it deeply satisfying that we can transfer custody back to the Chumash Community.” The Museum’s Chumash and preChumash collection, the most extensive in the world, included remains from 1,011 individuals and 36,943 associated funerary objects. With one notable exception, the bones in the museum collection date as far back as 7,000 bce. The exception is three femur bones found protruding from a creek channel on Santa Rosa Island in 1959 by Phil Orr, the museum’s then-director of anthropology. Scientific analysis has proved those bones to be 13,000 years old, a dis-

covery that makes them the oldest human remains found anywhere in North America. The discovery adds considerable credence to a theory of human migration known as the “Kelp Superhighway Hypothesis,” which suggests that the first humans arrived in North America not by land, as has long been proposed, but by sea, following the coastline of the Pacific Rim of northeastern Asia and Beringia down to South America, where plentiful kelp beds provided sufficient food for the early explorers. Most of the remains and artifacts transferred to the tribe show the technology and art developed by Chumash and pre-Chumash residents of the region, how they adorned themselves, what tools they had at their disposal, what materials they used, and how they buried their dead. The collection of Native American remains and artifacts kept by museums and institutions of higher learning has long been a highly charged issue. The Museum of Natural History first began amassing its collection in 1922 under the direction of museum anthropologists David Banks Rogers and John Peabody Harrington, who worked closely with Chumash people in the region recording their language and culture. By the 1970s, the presence of Native American monitors emerged as a force for cultural preservation at any major construction sites located near what had once been tribal land. In 1989, the museum created the California Indian Advisory Council, which included representatives from as many of the local Chumash bands as possible, not just those representing the Santa Ynez Band. For the past 40 years, the museum — under the direction of John Johnson, the museum’s most recent anthropologist — collaborated with many academic researchers to study the museum’s collections consistent with the best practices established by the Society for American Archeology and the American Alliance of Museums. In addition, Johnson has engaged closely with many Chumash individuals to study their cultural heritage, he said, “as a way to enlarge their understanding of themselves n and their community.”

an Marcos High School Principal Kip Glazer will be leaving her post after three years to become principal of a Bay Area high school. Her final day will be June 30, and her replacement has not yet been announced by the district. During her tenure at San Marcos, Glazer said she was most proud of the relationship fostered between San Marcos and Santa Barbara City College with the dual enrollment program and the Health Careers Academy. Glazer said she reached her decision because she wanted to be closer to her family and the lack of affordable housing made it difficult to live in Santa Barbara. Glazer, who was paid more than $137,000 in 2020, according to Transparent California, said she was forced to move three times in her three years in Santa Barbara. A lack of affordable housing has been a major contributor to the teacher and substitute shortage plaguing California, and Santa Barbara is no small offender, often landing within the top 10 of the most expensive cities in California. According to the 2021 Santa

Barbara Rental Survey, the median rent for a one-bedroom home in Santa Barbara was about $2,400, and median rent for a one-bedroom apartment was about $2,000. This translates to an Kip Glazer annual cost of about $24,000 a year. The average starting salary for a teacher in the Santa Barbara Unified School District ranges between about $55,000 and $61,000, according to Nick Masuda, chief of communication for the district. There are currently no vacant positions within the district for this school year, but for the 2022-23 school year, the district has 28 teaching positions, 17 administrative positions, and 32 classified staff positions needing to be filled, though Masuda said these numbers may fluctuate depending on staff resignations. —Jun Starkey

anta Barbara County’s Los Prietos Boys Camp and Los Robles High School will soon be closing their doors, with significant decreases in the incarceration of youth offenders pushing the juvenile detention facility and adjoining school to integrate into the Juvenile Justice Center in Santa Maria. It’s unclear when the facility —in operation since 1944 —will officially close for good, though Chief Probation Officer Tanja Heitman said the Probation Department, which oversees the camp, hopes to complete the transition by June 2023. The camp has seen significant population decreases in recent years, with the most drastic decline in the last year. The camp’s population in 2018 was about 550, according to Heitman; there are currently eight boys housed at the camp. Although the department anticipated some increases, Heitman said there’s no reason to believe the camp’s population will return to previous levels. The significant decrease in the camp’s population could be attributed to recent

California legislation that prohibits youth offenders under the age of 16 from being tried as adults and the “cite and release” laws created during the COVID-19 pandemic. During an April 12 budget presentation to the Board of Supervisors, Heitman said the pandemic emphasized issues such as untreated behavioral health issues and basic needs within the justice population. During the budget presentation, Heitman said two main phases for this transition include modernizing some outdated facilities in the Juvenile Justice Center and updating the program and treatment plan, such as incorporating field trips, family furloughs, and occasional camping trips. The Santa Barbara County Education Office operates Los Robles High School, the education arm of the camp, and Superintendent of Schools Susan Salcido said her office “will continue to offer the educational program we currently offer at Los Robles High School … until County Probation transitions to the Juvenile Justice Center in Santa —JS Maria.”

NEWS of the WEEK CONT’D ELECTIONS

Sheriff Bill Brown Runs for Fifth Term B

by Nick Welsh

y any reckoning, Sheriff Bill Brown, now running for his fifth term, is the single most accomplished and compelling elected figure now performing on the Santa Barbara political stage. He is, as the saying goes, the 8,000-pound gorilla in the room. Bill Brown is a large man; he moves through a room like a battleship through the ocean, and he does so without being intimidating. He smiles easily. He likes facts. He loves history. And he really loves to talk — a lot. With a microphone in front of him, Brown is utterly at ease. Few people press the flesh better. He remembers names. He even remembers the family stories of the names he meets. Little wonder. Brown’s father worked as an advance man for pioneering evangelist superstar Billy Graham. His mother was a stage actress who in her youth briefly dated Bobby Kennedy. You might say Bill Brown came by his gift for politics and flair for theater the old-fashioned way; he inherited them. But right now, in the current campaign, Brown is looking over his shoulder. He’s running in a one-on-one race against Juan Camarena, a lieutenant in the Sheriff ’s Office with 23 years’ experience who is a former Marine, was raised in Santa Barbara, and is fluent in Spanish. Camarena talks of stagna-

weather what threatens to become one of the most turbulent chapters of American law enforcement history. And after 16 years at the helm, Bill Brown is plenty seasoned. The irony here is that Brown’s critics said the same thing about him back in 2006 when he first decided to run for sheriff against then-incumbent Jim Anderson. Back then, Brown was still chief of the Lompoc Police Department, then derided as a Podunk department in a Podunk town. It had only 49 employees. In a race that was David and Goliath all over again, Bill Brown won that election. But Bill Brown is running against time. If he were to be reelected for a fifth term, he would be sheriff for 20 years. A typical sheriff in the United States — even with the mojo of incumbency — will last only 11 years; Brown has almost completed 16 years on the job. A lot can happen in 16 years. In that time, however, Brown wowed even the most skeptical naysayers by accomplishing the seemingly impossible. He got a new jail built in northern Santa Barbara County. His predecessors — sheriffs Jim Anderson and Jim Thomas — both vowed to build a new jail in northern Santa Barbara County, but they failed. The county’s existing lockup had been the target of multiple cruel-andinhumane lawsuits dating back to the early 1980s. Brown worked his political connections in Sacramento that he’d spent a professional lifetime cultivating to secure $86 million in state grants to build a modern, humane jail where prisoners could engage in rehabilitative therapies. The only hitch? The County of Santa Barbara would have to pitch in 10 percent in matching funds. And the annual operating costs hovered at about $20 million a year. That new jail — truly Brown’s legacy and crowning achievement — finally opened just a few months ago. The final price tag was about $110 million; initial estimates projected it at $77 million. County administrators, however, tag the official cost overrun at $14.7 million. As with any new building, there are still bugs to be worked out. The new jail’s video chambers where inmates are supposed to communicate directly with the attorneys and the court have not worked properly. And about a month ago, all the inmate doors inexplicably opened at the same time, leaving the few deputies on duty in a potentially precarious position. Fortunately, nothing happened.

If Brown were to be reelected for a fifth term, he would be sheriff for 20 years. A typical sheriff in the United States — even with the mojo of incumbency — will last only 11 years; Brown has almost completed 16 years on the job. A lot can happen in 16 years. tion within the department and rebuilding trust with the community. Brown acknowledges that Camarena is a good guy, a rock-solid law enforcement professional, but he insists Camarena is wrong. The department hasn’t lost the trust of the community at large; there is no trust to restore. There is just a handful of loud activists looking to impose national solutions on problems that don’t exist locally. And though Brown promoted him twice, he believes Camarena lacks the executive chops necessary to run a department of 800 people and a budget of about $175 million. Seasoned leadership, Brown says, is what’s needed to

Vigorously Defends a Long Legacy from Critics

Sheriff Bill Brown

But Brown is quick to highlight how the new jail doesn’t have a single bar in it. It’s airy and spacious with great sightlines. Bill Brown believes that jails are places where people can hit bottom and then turn their lives around. He believes people who break the law must be held accountable. He also believes they must be given second chances. In Brown’s jail, he says, both of those will happen. When Brown was first elected, he stood with one foot planted squarely in law enforcement’s progressive camp. He talked passionately about anti-recidivism programs and implemented many of them. He’s been known to choke up when recounting the heroic lengths some people in his custody have gone to in order to reconnect with their families and reclaim their lives. Little surprise that in his first race for sheriff, Brown — a lifelong Republican — won the endorsement of former Governor Jerry Brown and Senator Dianne Feinstein. He also won the hearts of former Lompoc mayor Joyce Howerton, not to mention former Santa Barbara mayor Helene Schneider, a feminist activist and progressive crusader in her own right. Times, however, have changed. As instances of law enforcement violence against people of color have come increasingly to the fore, a seemingly impervious

nation has found itself repeatedly shocked. Public sentiment about police use of force, police practices, and the totality of the criminal justice system has shifted significantly in the past 10 years, especially after the murder of George Floyd. Santa Barbara County has not been untouched. Today, Bill Brown would be categorized as a moderate within law enforcement. Brown denounced the George Floyd murder — a death he describes as “a tragic incident” — but he is quick to say how statistically rare it is that force is used by members of law enforcement, and he is ready with the math to back up this claim. Brown rejects the idea that his department should be subjected to any oversight by a civilian review board, dismissing it as a solution is search of a problem. Santa Barbara is not Minneapolis, he says. And Minneapolis, he reminds us, had not one but two civilian oversight boards; neither one did George Floyd any good. When asked about the $9 million in legal settlements the department has paid over use-of-force lawsuits over the past 10 years, Brown termed all cases ending in death “tragic” but said all such incidents were extensively investigated by the District Attorney’s Office and deemed justified. The District Attorney and the Attorney General already have oversight, Brown said. So too do the voters. If they don’t like the job he’s doing, CONT’D ON PAGE 16 É

he said, they can vote him out of a job. It’s not just Brown’s department that has come under criticism. It’s the entire criminal justice system: the District Attorney, the Probation Department, the Public Defender’s Office, and the Sheriff ’s Office. Combined, they cost roughly $400 million annually. That’s roughly one quarter of the county’s entire budget of $1.2 billion. It’s often described as “the elephant in the room.” Regardless of where individual supervisors stand on law and order, they all agree the “elephant” is too big. Brown has been pressed to cut costs, do more with less, get more efficient, and keep as many low-level offenders as possible out of his jail. When Brown started as sheriff, the jail population hovered between 1,200 and 1,300, closets were converted to bed space, inmates slept on mattresses on the floors, and bunks were triple-decked. Brown and his jail staff managed to whittle that number down to about 900 inmates prior to the onslaught of COVID, during which time the population historically dipped below 600. Liberal supervisors demanded that Brown keep that number down — citing recent research that suggests that the longer a person stays behind bars, the greater their chances are of becoming repeat offenders. But Brown has pushed back. With fewer people behind bars, Brown retorted, crime

rates were increasing. But even the more conservative crime-conscious supervisors from North County have grown impatient too, demanding greater efficiencies out of Brown. As an elected official, Bill Brown does not answer to the Board of Supervisors for departmental policy. But the supervisors control his purse strings. Over his 16 years, Brown’s budget has increased from $86 million to $170 million. Still, he complains about a structural staffing deficit of 80 positions that he says have been lost since the Great Recession of 2008. Forced overtime has added millions to departmental costs. Supervisors dismiss his complaints as statistical double talk. Brown, they say, should embrace new data analysis technologies that would better match his existing staffing levels with actual calls for service. Until this year, Brown had only one fulltime crime data analyst on staff, and he has complained that supervisors refused to fund data analysts. But this year, he got the funding and now has a team of high-tech number crunchers. But with inflation and economic instability, the department will be facing a prolonged wrestling match over budget. Brown has no aspirations for higher office other than the top spot of the Major County Sheriffs of America, an organization of the 113 largest sheriff ’s departments in the country where Brown is currently the Number Two. If he wins in Santa Barbara, he’ll become Number One. Earlier in his career,

Brown served as president of the California Police Chiefs’ Association and later as president of the California State Sheriffs’ Association. No one else has held both posts. If he wins reelection, Brown will become the only person to have held all three. Some critics within law enforcement call Brown a “trophy collector,” complaining he spends too much time on these boards and too little at departmental leadership meetings or with front-line troops. Brown has never been endorsed by the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association (DSA) in any of his five elections. Brown shrugs this off. The DSA, he said is a union that has disagreed with him on discipline he’s meted out to deputies and custody officers for misconduct. Brown says his leadership positions on these state and national law enforcement boards have allowed him to influence the policy debates at the state and national level — at the White House and in Congress — regarding the nature of police reform. This provides Santa Barbara a voice well beyond its boundaries, he argues, without which Santa Barbara would never have secured the funds to build the North County Jail. Most recently, Brown, shocked that 133 people had died from drug overdoses, launched Operation Opioid. Of those deaths, 67 percent involved fentanyl, which is used to lace cocaine, methamphetamine, and even counterfeit prescription drugs. He cites the death of a 22-year-old suffering from a bad headache who took what he thought was a Xanax. “It’s a misnomer

to call these deaths an accident or an overdose,” Brown stated. “They’re poisonings.” Even his critics have remarked how energetically Brown has thrown himself into it. He’s calling leaders from the medical, faith, education, enforcement, and business worlds to all come together to craft a campaign to attack the problem both from a supply and demand stand point. Beyond that, there are Brown’s mental health initiatives, most specifically, the much-praised co-response teams where sheriff ’s deputies are teamed up with mental health outreach workers to respond to crisis calls. While garnering many accolades, the program has yet to secure stable funding. In his 16 years on the job, Brown has crossed swords with many in county government. His relations with the county board, while personally cordial, remain strained over expenses and transparency. Brown has had protracted battles with all the fire departments in the county over helicopters, airplanes, and dispatch centers. Currently, Brown is in an intense billing dispute with the four cities to which his department provides police services. At issue is $2.5 million in bitterly disputed costs, which the county may be forced to make up. Bill Brown has been a law enforcement professional for 45 years. After all that time, why not just declare victory and retire? “It’s a difficult job,” Brown acknowledged. “But if you find a job you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. And I really love my job…. n I don’t want to do anything else.”

PeriPheral Neuropathy aNd diabetes WarNiNG! Santa Barbara, CA - Diabetes along with age, smoking, exposure to chemotherapy, post surgical and motor vehicle accidents are all risk factors for peripheral neuropathy. Diabetes is the largest cohort, making up nearly 60% of all peripheral neuropathy cases. Among diabetics, up to 50% have measurable evidence of peripheral neuropathy but no symptoms. Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy is the most common long term complication of Diabetes. This can progress from sensory complications to leg/foot ulcers and ultimately gangrene and amputation. Nerve fibers affected with neuropathy include large nerve fibers which are principally associated with numbness and small nerve fibers seen with pain and burning symptoms.

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy, three factors must be determined. 1. What is the underlying cause? 2. How much nerve damage has been sustained?* 3. How much treatment will your condition require? Don’t Hesitate to Act Now! We can objectively measure the severity of deficit in both small and large nerve fibers prior to start of care.

The main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. There is now a facility right here in Santa Barbara that offers you new hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects.

Nearly 60% of Peripheral Neuropahty patients are Diabetics. ref: The foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy. June 2018

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems.

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes electronic cell signaling delivering modulating energy wavelengths at both low and middle frequencies. The signaling improves cell-to-cell communication among small nerve fibers.

This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet which will cause the nerves to begin to slowly degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow.

The cell signaling therapy is like watering a tree. The treatment will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper.

As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not receive the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die” they cause you to have balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, and many additional symptoms.

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. Large nerve fiber = numbness • Small nerve fiber = pain

A Vote for Christy Lozano

of insanity is “doing the same Thethingdefinition over and over and expecting a different

result.” Thus it is with the incumbent Superintendent of Schools. Why would anyone looking at the facts vote for the incumbent? In her 15 years at the County Office of Education, she has not improved the academic outcomes for our children under her leadership. Only 34 percent of the students in Santa Barbara County are proficient in math, and only 47 percent are proficient in English. Those are failing grades for anyone, much less the incumbent superintendent. The incumbent says she has years of experience, but does her experience generate any positive educational results? Just look at the 102 students under her direct care. Their results have steadily declined under her tenure, to a point so low that that it cannot possibly get any lower. None of the 102 students are proficient in English. None of the 102 students are proficient in math. Zero. Without real skills, these students don’t stand a chance in our increasingly competitive and challenging world. I will vote for Christy Lozano for County Superintendent of Schools. She has the grit, energy, and determination to turn our County Education Office around. She is well-equipped to meet the challenges of the job and heal the wounds and divisions in our schools. Christy understands the children have been put in the crosshairs of educational divisiveness. This is a tragedy that will only be overcome by taking politics out of the classroom. Christy has the moral strength, good character, affability, and vision to lead. Nothing is more important to the future of our county and our country than raising up and fully preparing the next generation of young people with the skills and character to succeed. —Peggy Wilson, S.B.

Changing Stripes

Poodle is right on. Bush Jr. gave us Alito, Thebut Nader gave us Bush. Trump got three picks

in one term — a record? — but kept his promise to his base. No surprise there. If you voted for Jill Stein in Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin, then you voted for Trump’s three picks. The talk about minority president is BS. Had Hillary Clinton won with 45 percent, no liberal would be complaining about her three picks. Trump paid for his own polls and campaign, out of pocket. Then he gave the “deplorables” what

they wanted. He was pro-choice all his life up ’til the campaign. Then he modeled his platform to suit his base. Hence, the man who never ran for dogcatcher won the top prize — first time since Eisenhower. Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh lied through their teeth, but this former political scientist never believed a word. The two new Irish Catholics are 50 and 57 years old. All of us baby boomers will be dead before they retire from the court. You can march up and down State Street 24/7 with your placards, and they aren’t changing their stripes, sez this intern for Senator Claiborne Pell (D-RI), 1971, in Washington. Don’t blame the system.

Aging Diablo Issues

the license for Diablo Canyon Extending nuclear power plant even for a few years would

be very expensive for the rate- and taxpayers of California. Diablo is an aging plant and as such faces everincreasing maintenance expenditures. Moreover, the continued and increased storage of dangerous high-level nuclear wastes would result in substantial additional costs and risks, even without potential catastrophic releases of radioactivity. To fight Climate Change effectively, California would be much better off to spend all that money on the burgeoning, truly green technologies. —Klaus Schumann, Paso Robles

obituaries Hope Smith

5/14/1923 - 2/18/2022

Hope Smith, age 98, of Santa Barbara, CA, passed away on February 18, 2022, at Casa St. James in Santa Barbara, with her daughter, Lynn Peters, by her bedside. Hope was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2012. Hope was born Constance Marjorie Hope Fuller in Southborough, England, second oldest of four children of Dr. Ashbury Fuller and Doris Mary Fitch. Dr. Fuller was house surgeon at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London before starting his own practice in Southborough. Hope recalls growing up with annual seaside holidays, and her father running his “surgery” (consulting room, dispensary and waiting room) out of their Victorian house. Hope traveled abroad to France in her youth, but was called home August 25th, 1939, because war with Germany was declared on September 3, 1939. The family later moved to Croydon, south of London, where Hope began courses at Secretarial College. In 1943 she qualified for the Women’s technical service register, and became a draughtswoman at the wartime “radar research station” in Malvern, Worcestershire, part of the Ministry of Aircraft Production. She made detailed assembly drawings for prototype radar equipment. In 1946 and peacetime, Hope trained at the London School of Steno-typing and was employed as a verbatim reporter/demonstrator. She enjoyed travel to Paris and Denmark, cycling through Denmark and staying at youth hostels. Next, Hope was employed by Krishnamurti Writings as a reporter/stenographer and ran the London branch office. Work took her to Belgium, Germany, Italy,

Amsterdam and other parts of Europe. Several years later she headed to their head office in Ojai, California, editing manuscripts and handling mail order book sales. Arriving in 1956 to Ojai, California, Hope was a lover of dance since her youth, and was soon introduced to international folk dancing at the Ojai Art Center. It is here she met her future husband, Sydney Smith, also an enthusiastic folk dancer and working in Ventura’s social welfare department. Sydney and Hope married February 7, 1959, at the Santa Barbara courthouse. Their education desires soon took them to UCLA, San Jose State University, and Syracuse University, with Hope earning her Masters Degree in Library Science. Returning to Santa Barbara, Hope became a librarian in UCSB library’s catalogue department. Over the years much travel was done. And ongoing classes included braille transcription and purchase of her own braille writer machine, UCLA extension courses in computer programming and data processing. In 1968 she was promoted to Head of the Order Department of the UCSB library, supervising three other librarians, twenty library assistants, a clerk and student assistant. In 1970 Hope looked afar and began applying for a volunteer library job with IVS (International Voluntary Service) in Africa. She was accepted in southern Africa, at Swaziland’s only College of Technology, starting early 1971. She studied in England to learn which new books would be appropriate, and by the end of her tenure there, she had amassed 10,000 books for the Swaziland College of Technology, and built up the African Writers Series, plus installed the BBC’s News of the African World for the student community. In Swaziland she had wonderful work colleagues, met the Prime Minister of Swaziland, traveled to the Republic of South Africa, Lesotho, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, became a “rock

hound”, and continued her volunteer braille work at the country’s only school for the blind. After her 5 yr volunteer assignment, she returned to Santa Barbara and became a librarian at ABC-Clio, a publisher of historical abstracts and American history and life. She continued her rock hound interests with the SB Mineral and Gem Society. She traveled to the Soviet Union, visiting Moscow, Leningrad, and enjoying the Bolshoi Ballet, and visiting Russia. She also traveled to China, visiting many cities and sights. She enjoyed volunteer work at Santa Barbara’s Braille Institute, performed transcription for the visually handicapped, became a volunteer monitor for the Recording for the Blind, and studied Esperanto, the international second language. She received many awards for various news bulletins created during her work and hobby pursuits. At age 60 Hope became an avid traveler with Elderhostel, enjoying 15 trips to various locations around the world, Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and many US locations. In 1987 she began Scottish Country Dancing and joined the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. She was also an enthusiastic square dancer. In 1988, at 65 y/old, she retired from ABC-Clio and soon became an avid country line dancer, teaching line dance at the local Goleta Valley Community Center and various assisted-living residences such as Maravilla in Santa Barbara. In 1993 her biological daughter, Lynn, whom she had given up at birth, contacted her. Sydney, Hope, Lynn and Scott, her younger brother whom they had also given up, had an amazing reunion and continued in relationship for many years. In 1994 Hope began applying for US citizenship, deciding to stay permanently in the US now that she knew her two children were here. She took trips with her

daughter, to Hawaii, and a cruise to the British Virgin Islands. By late December she became a U.S. citizen with her husband Sydney and her son Scott in attendance. A trip was also made with their daughter to England to meet the children of Hope’s three siblings, who still resided in England. They toured a good portion of England and saw many sights from Hope’s youth and war time work. The subsequent years were filled with more trips, more volunteer work, and relaxing as she grew older. In 2010-11, Hope in her late 80’s, began noticing her memory was declining. Volunteer work and teaching her dance class became difficult. MRI testing revealed the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s disease. She remained at home as long as possible, but needing additional care, was moved to Oak Cottage Memory Care of SB for several years. She was moved again for more individual care to Casa St. James, also in SB, a much smaller and more home-like community. Lynn, living in Berkeley, CA, visited Hope monthly during her years of dementia and was able to be with her for the last week of her life. At that point Hope peacefully and comfortably passed into the arms of God on Friday, February 18, 2022, at age 98. Hope leaves behind her daughter and son-in-law, Lynn and Edward Peters of Berkeley, CA; her son Scott Hausrath of Algona, Washington; and her niece Rosemary Wilcox, nephews Selwyn and Martin Lloyd, all of England. We have tremendous gratitude for all those who helped Hope in her last years, including Oak Cottage Memory Care, Brightstar of Santa Barbara, Casa St. James, Central Coast Hospice and so many more individuals. May God bless you all abundantly for helping Hope in so many ways.

A Floating Sewer Line in the Ocean?

Anne Lungren Wunsch & Henry Allen Wunsch

Dubious Proposals at Montecito Sanitary and Water Districts

COURTESY

BY HILLARY HAUSER

he reaction to Heal the Ocean’s April 19

letter to the editor of the Montecito Journal regarding Bob Hazard’s piece “Should the Montecito Water and Sanitary Districts Consolidate?” was swift: At a joint meeting of the Montecito Water and Sanitary districts on Wednesday, April 27, Mr. Hazard said my piece was an “old” argument, but also that the districts needed to step up their public relations work, that Heal the Ocean’s community outreach could impact their reputations and/or whatever it is they are trying to accomplish. To get the argument into present-day conversation, Heal the Ocean now reports to the public that during the joint meeting on that Wednesday, the boards of both districts received preliminary results of a $400,000 study by Carollo Engineers outlining options for increasing water supply to Montecito. Among those options being studied — and this is current:

· Building of infrastructure in Montecito for Non-Potable Reuse (NPR) in Montecito: purple pipes for irrigation water · Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) in Carpinteria: sending Montecito wastewater to Carpinteria for processing and injection into the Carpinteria groundwater basin for settling/purification, then piping it back up to Montecito for customer use · Direct Potable Reuse (DPR) in Montecito: purifying wastewater at the Montecito Sanitary facility to drinking-water standards, and piping it into the Montecito Water District water supply · Direct Potable Reuse (DPR) in Santa Barbara: Montecito Sanitary’s wastewater being sent to the City of Santa Barbara’s El Estero treatment plant and returning as a water supply for Montecito Into this discussion—and I’m not making this up —is the idea for getting Montecito Sanitary’s wastewater to Carpinteria via a floating wastewater line in the ocean from Montecito to Carpinteria. Yes, this was brought up in the meeting. A floating wastewater line in the ocean is patently absurd, and even though the idea is not being officially studied, the joint boards have considered it seriously. We suggest that instead of spending any money investigating this idea, somebody from the Sanitary District Board could pick up the phone and call the California Coastal Commission and get a fast answer for free: NO. Heal the Ocean will say again that direct potable use (DPR) is still years away, the State of California still has not developed standards, and during the continued wait, the wastewater continues to be wasted, when it could be watering the grass at the cemetery—now. Again, we say using non-potable water for irrigation saves potable water, which is a reverse way of producing potable water. As for piping Sanitary District wastewater to Carpinteria for treatment, injecting it into Carpinteria groundwater basin for Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) purposes, then shipping it back to Montecito, Heal

the Ocean reiterates that this can never happen. Caltrans will never allow pipes going and coming over such distances and Carp’s Sanitary District Manager Craig Murray has already politely explained to the consultants doing this incredible study that Carpinteria Sanitary has to reserve its capacity for its own ratepayers. And, as Heal the Ocean has pointed out, pumps needed to pipe wastewater for such a long and non-gravity distance is a huge energy issue that will never be permitted. A simple phone call to somebody would get this answer for free, yet the socalled “Water Security Team” behind the operations of both district boards praises the $400,000 study that is investigating this. As for another study investigating the consolidation of Montecito Water and Montecito Sanitary (MWD/MSD) into one Community Service District, Charles Hamilton, the intelligent director of the Carpinteria Valley Water District, who has been working with the Carpinteria Sanitary District to build their mutually designed indirect potable reuse plant, recently published a far nicer response to this idea than the one Heal the Ocean put into print. Basically, Mr. Hamilton writes that consolidation is not cost-effective. Heal the Ocean has stated that sanitary districts run wastewater operations, and water districts (are supposed to) grapple with water issues; a single board of individuals who are not versed in the unique requirements of each one is futile. We also continue to maintain that successful Community Service Districts started out that way (including Santa Barbara’s wastewater/water resources division); they were not formed by hostile takeover. This is current information, and in deference to Mr. Hazard’s observation that Heal the Ocean should quit moaning around the failure of MWD/MSD to access free money through Prop. 1 for planning studies to build recycled water facilities, we’ll agree with Mr. Hazard and quit crying over spilled milk. We will stay in the present—which, in our opinion, is no better than the past—and leave it there. In closing, it should be mentioned that during the joint board meeting of April 27, suggestions were made by both Mr. Hazard and board members that what is really needed is better public relations with both Heal the Ocean and the public. The statement was made that printed articles in the Independent are “typical Independent,” as are articles by Melinda Burns (“typical Melinda Burns”), when Melinda is one of the most even-handed investigative journalists in Santa Barbara County. Hillary Hauser is president and executive director of the nonprofit Heal the Ocean.

Anne Lungren Wunsch: February 1, 1938 – February 21, 2022 Henry Allen Wunsch: January 1, 1937 – March 9, 2022

Anne Lungren Wunsch was born to A. Marvin Lungren and Jane Dickenson Lungren on February 1, 1938, in Denver, CO. Henry Allen Wunsch, son of Henry Wunsch and Susan Elisabeth Kerbs was born January 1, 1937, in La Junta, CO. Anne passed away on February 21, 2022, and within weeks of losing his beloved wife of 60 years, Henry joined her in Heaven on March 9, 2022. Both died peacefully, surrounded by family, in their home in Santa Barbara, CA. Anne and Henry met at the University of Colorado at Boulder, graduating with a B.A. in Elementary Education, and a B.S. in Engineering and Science, respectively. They married immediately after college and began their life together with multiple moves around the country in the first couple of years for military obligations and subsequent career opportunities. During this time, they started their family with the births of Stephanie and Andy while living in Merritt Island, FL, and Stacie after relocating to Milwaukee, WI. With three small children in tow, Anne and Henry made one final move to Santa Barbara, CA, where they lived until their passing. Anne was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She had an adventurous, beautiful spirit and was the definition of grace under fire.

needs of others first. She enjoyed quilting, cooking and gardening; she was happiest when she was spending time with her family, her grandchildren and her girlfriends. Henry was active duty in the U.S Army National Guard immediately following college, then began his career in systems engineering with AC Spark Plug (eventually Delco Systems Operations) on the Titan Missile Program. He was a leader and excelled in his field but even more so as a family man. He had a quiet inner strength that shined through his character and his work ethic, and he was so proud of his wife, children and grandchildren. He was always able to put in a full day’s work and still attend every sporting event, choir performance, ballet recital, and charity function. Together they shared a love of travel and adventure, from camping in national forests to visiting various corners of the world and experiencing different cultures. In retirement, they spent time with family in California and Montana whenever possible. They remained active in their community through their many volunteering efforts, school, church, golf and bridge groups, and the Delco retirees. Anne and Henry are survived by their children Stephanie Linn (James Linn) of Santa Clarita, CA, Andy Wunsch (Shelly Wunsch) and Stacie Wunsch of Bozeman, MT; their grandchildren Katherine Linn, John Linn, Lucia Wunsch and Ruby Wunsch; Anne’s brother Eddy Lungren; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. They will both be desperately missed by all those that they’ve left behind. Their legacy will live on through the countless relationships they cultivated and great memories they created. Services will be held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Santa Barbara, CA, on Friday, June 10, 2022, at 11:00am.

Restaurant Week Returns

This year, Santa Barbara Restaurant Week is working in tandem with the Taste of S.B. event, but the basics are similar since the promotion began back in 2018: The more than 30 participating establishments are serving set menus priced at $30, $40, and $50, alongside a few wineries that are offering special flights at $20, $25, and $30. The big difference from years past is that restaurants didn’t have to pay to be part of the campaign this year. “With our hospitality industry hit so hard by the pandemic, we wanted to make Restaurant Week as accessible as possible to all restaurants, as a way to shine a light on as many as possible, so all fees were waived so anyone can participate,” said Donna Yen, SBCE’s executive director. “We hope it encourages diners to explore new restaurants they’ve never tried before.” See sbrestaurantweeks.com.

Taste of Santa Barbara Wines @ El Presidio

Launches Taste of S.B. Weekend

ulia Child is so hot right now.

There’s a scripted series on HBO Max that was just renewed for a second season; a documentary by Oscarnominated directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West; a cooking contest on Food Network/Discovery+ judged by famous cooks and restaurateurs; a podcast with more than 150 episodes featuring top chefs, writers, and food thinkers; and an increasing impactful annual award given in her name at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. “Julia Child passed away nearly 18 years ago, but she still leaves an impressive ability to continue teaching Americans about the joys of culinary pursuits,” said Eric Spivey, a longtime friend of Julia and chairman of The Julia Child Foundation for Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts. “Her literary and television career remains relevant and impactful for new generations of people.” Santa Barbara County is where Julia spent many of her summers (when in Pasadena), winters (when in Boston), and last few years of her life (at Casa Dorinda in Montecito), and now the region is celebrating that connection with the inaugural “Taste of Santa Barbara,” which runs May 16-22. The event is hosted by the Santa Barbara Culinary Experience

(SBCE), which was founded by Spivey and others in 2019 to be a sort of West Coast counterpart to The Julia Child Foundation. The nonprofit’s first event ever was supposed to be in March 2020 on that fateful weekend when the country shut down due to the pandemic. “While deeply disappointing for everyone that we had to cancel the event, it provided us time to learn the power and limits of virtual events,” explained Spivey, who hosted a number of virtual experiences in 2021. “It also gave us new information to refine the programming resulting in a broad and inclusive set of events for all the community to enjoy.” That means the 2022 Taste of S.B. weekend — which is being combined with Santa Barbara Restaurant Week—is SBCE’s in-real-life coming-out party. It’s a mix of edible enjoyment, with special dishes and drinks made to honor Julia and Paul Child all week; educational nourishment, with a documentary screening on Friday, food sustainability panels on Saturday, and farm tours on Sunday; and a proper wine toast, with a dozen wineries pouring for crowds at the Presidio on Sunday. Read on for more details, and cheers to Julia! See sbce.events for the full lineup, tickets, and more. —Matt Kettmann

S.B. Culinary Experience

To toast Santa Barbara County’s thriving wine industry, Taste of Santa Barbara is hosting a dozen wineries at El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park, located at the prominent downtown corner of East Canon Perdido and Santa Barbara streets. Tasting stations from every subappellation in the county will be sprinkled around the grounds, and there will be a series of panels inside the chapel throughout the afternoon to shed more light on the people and places behind these wines. “The Presidio’s beauty and storied past is why we chose the venue to host Taste of Santa Barbara Wines, because part of the goal with this event is to deepen the experience of tasting wines with a storytelling component,” said Yen. “Guests will get to hear stories from these talented winemakers, and learn about their unique journeys of making wine.” The event will be Sunday, May 22, from 1-4 p.m.

Dine Around Town with Julia & Cocktail Crawl with Paul A still-growing number of restaurants and bars are crafting dishes and drinks in honor of both Julia and her cocktail-loving husband, Paul Child. As of last count, there were 16 participants signed up, including Barbareño’s lamb al pastor ode to Julia’s fave Mexican spot on Milpas, La Super-Rica; Eye on I’s Coquilles Saint Jacques, a scallop dish that appears in her first book; Bossie’s Kitchen’s pain perdu bread pudding with vanilla custard; Test Pilot’s Carioca Quencher, with rum, lemon, apricot, honey, and soda; and Loquita’s La Julia, with gin, Lustau Blanco, celery bitters, and lemon oil. “We’re excited to see everyone getting creative here and think that people will love seeing the various tributes all around town!” said Yen.

Experience the Farms

For those seeking to get intimate with where their food comes from, Taste of S.B. is coordinating a number of farm and food production tours around Santa Barbara County, from exploring the Rock Front Ranch up in the Cuyama Valley and learning about bread and wine production in Lompoc at Piedrasassi to picking blueberries and strawberries, touring a regenerative farm, and seeing how a downtown soup kitchen works. Most tours are on Sunday, May 22, and cost $25, but see sbce.events/regional-farm-tours for details. INDEPENDENT.COM

Betsy West

hen Oscar-nominated directors

Julie Cohen and Betsy West set out to make a documentary about the legendary Julia Child, they realized the public believed they knew her. That meant their goal was for a tone that was, as Cohen puts, “Not the same old same old.” People can find out how they made the story new when their film Julia is screened as part of the Santa Barbara Culinary Experience’s Taste of Santa Barbara weekend on Friday, May 20, 7 p.m. at SBCC’s Garvin Theatre, with the directors on hand for a post-film Q&A. Early on, chef Marcus Samuelsson, one of the first of many fascinating talking heads, calls Child “the Madonna of television chefs,” an outlandish comparison that’s also apt, as both challenged what celebrity women could and should do. Next, footage of a roasting chicken is set to Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire.” Sure, Child began her breakthrough public TV show The French Chef in the 1960s, but rocker Hendrix still seems from a very different world than the Pasadena-born patrician dishing up boeuf Bourguignon. “It’s trial and error, coming up with the right song to use,” Cohen said in a recent Webex interview. “We tried it with some Vivaldi, and we both looked at each other and instantly said, ‘No!’” When the Hendrix got tested, they knew they landed on something to capture more of Child’s subversive side. Cohen continued, “At one point, Hendrix sings, ‘Get on with it, baby,’ and we have that right when someone bastes the chicken….” West jumped in: “We liked it a lot.” For their film, while providing a relatively traditional and engaging chronicle though Child’s amazing life — a WWII

stint in the OISS (precursor to the CIA); co-authoring Mastering the Art of French Cooking, arguably the first blockbuster cookbook; only becoming famous until after she was 50, etc. — it is more than anything else a love story. In fact, Julia’s marriage to Paul Child was one of the themes that most attracted Cohen and West to the project. “We like making documentaries that are also date movies,” Cohen said (hinting back to their previous smash RBG). “Paul was such a Renaissance man, but he was also not the easiest guy to deal with in the world unless you were Julia Child.” The film vividly captures how he subsumes his own life to help support Julia as she becomes the first food world superstar and then manages to maintain that position for decades. Cohen and West very consciously work the food/sex metaphor, too, especially in a sequence capturing the making of a pear tart that is delicious food porn. “Our food stylist, Susan Spungen, suggested the pears as particularly sexy,” West recalled, “and then our two cinematographers, Claudia Raschke in New York and Nanda Fernandez Brédillard in Paris, really leaned into the sensuality of those images.” The pears even get paired with a tasteful nude of Julia in silhouette that Paul, a very talented photographer, took in their Paris apartment. Given the wealth of primary sources—footage, photos, letters—Cohen and West had more than enough to work with to shape their film. But their archival team also dug up footage not seen before, such as clips of Child appearing with Hugh Downs. Alas, given she only lived in Montecito for the final three of her 91 years, the

film doesn’t deal with her time here. “The core of the film is about what made Julia Julia,” West pointed out. “She didn’t become the French chef and rest on her laurels.” The film stresses how, while denying she was a feminist, Child lived an exemplar feminist life. In particular, she was a public supporter of Planned Parenthood to the point where the film shows anti-choice people protesting her appearances. “She risked her reputation; she didn’t just write a check,” West said. Cohen added, “In Julia’s era, she was one of the first to take such a public stance. Some of the celebrity activism you’re seeing now is thanks to her.”

Panel

But Child might be most revolutionary for making America care again about food, teaching us to toss out the TV dinners for what we learned from the gangly, enthusiastic, willingto-make-mistakes TV chef. Much of the documentary was created during the pandemic, and Cohen claimed, “We were reminded how important and central having a good food experience with the people you love in your own kitchen can be. It punctuated a lot of what Julia believed in.”

Julia screens at SBCC’s Garvin Theatre on Friday, May 20, 7 p.m., followed by a conversation with the directors.

They’re the most knowledgeable people in the world. If they have the right policy initiatives and investments and research, they can

Julia Child Award, Nierenberg will speak during Taste of Santa Barbara on Saturday, May 21, with Congressmember Salud Carbajal and Shakira Miracle, the executive director of S.B. County Food Action Network. We spoke on the phone last week while Nierenberg was attending the Milken Institute’s Global Conference in Beverly Hills and preparing for her first-ever visit to Santa Barbara.

How do conferences about these issues lead to real change? People are suffering, and investors and financiers at this conference now understand that it’s not just Russian aggression with the war against Ukraine. It’s multiple crises we’re facing right now. We have a climate crisis, but we also have a biodiversity loss crisis. We obviously have a health crisis. People like me have understood the urgency for a long time, but others are now getting it. We can turn this tide. We have to make the right investments and the right research decisions to help farmers be as productive as possible without harming the planet. I’m an optimist. I feel like human ingenuity and knowledge and spirit can change all of this, but only if we do it right now so our grandchildren don’t blame us for what’s happened. How does Julia Child relate to all this? What a badass lady! She was on TV before all these male chefs who are now lauded as celebrities. She was up there before anyone, and she was real. She was the epitome of carrying on even though things might be going badly in the world. She changed her career in her forties and was so successful. She’s an inspiration not just to women but to all of us who are interested in these issues and want to see change. She made people feel good about themselves. At the end of the day, that’s what we all want. If I can live up to a teeny portion of what she did, I will have done what I wanted with my life. What do you plan to talk about? I get to moderate Congressmember Carbajal on the things he’s done over the last two years around immigration reform and how he feels Santa Barbara can be a model for the rest of the country for agricultural systems. Santa Barbara is an interesting microcosm of how we could do agriculture in a real collaborative way in this country. What’s your impression of Santa Barbara from afar? California is always above and beyond what the rest of the country is doing with regulations and policy and being at the forefront

of these issues. I’ve been to California a bunch of times. My husband was a professor at Stanford. This is a place that I love. We need to distill what’s happening so that people in the rest of the country and world can see that it’s not just a bunch of rich folks that can do this, but we can all do this.

her own grain back in 2012, and she became the lead baker about five years ago. The bread is available both at the Lompoc tasting room she shares with her winemaker husband, Sashi Moorman, and at the Saturday farmers’ market — in fact, Sorongon is the current president of the board of directors for the Santa Barbara Farmers’ Market Association. Those accomplishments are all worthy of celebrating, but she’s speaking on the panel because she developed something even more impactful: the Southern and Central Coast Regenerative Equipment Alliance, which she started with grant money to purchase equipment that could be shared among farmers. “This co-op aims to chip away at the obstacles farmers encounter when they are starting up, or looking to change to more regenerative farming practices,” said Sorongon. “Our focus is to clear away a few of the barriers to successful farming, especially with a regenerative agriculture focus. The co-op provides a community network of new and experienced farmers as well as equipment to share. We aim to make it easier to share resources and information, so farmers can build thriving, environmentally conscious businesses more quickly.” Selbert’s presence on the panel will give a solid sense of hope for the future. When his parents retired, they bought Las Cumbres Ranch and removed all the cattle, thinking that would be best for the land. Within a year, they learned that “rangeland needs to be grazed in order to stay healthy,” said Selbert, who was enlisted by his parents to help manage the return of cattle. “The more I learned about improving the health of our soil, the more enthusiastic I became,” he said. “There is something exciting about the fact that we can actually heal our environment instead of just sustaining the damage we’ve done. All my life, I’ve been told there’s nothing we can do, that we’re stuck with what we’ve got, so when I found out we could make a positive change through management, I was hooked.” They opted for Bonsmara cattle, a South African breed that makes tender meat while thriving in a dry and brittle climate. “That’s exactly what’s so exciting about our cattle—they fit perfectly into our Santa Barbara environment,” said Selbert, who looks forward to selling meat in 2023. The ranch itself is also preserved via the Santa Barbara County Land Trust in order to safeguard a large, contiguous block of open range land that provides for wildlife migration between Los Padres National Forest, La Purisima State Park, and Burton Mesa Ecological Reserve. “We have seen an incredible increase in wildlife since we changed our management,” said Selbert, and that’s not the only benefit of this shift. “Our risk of fires has reduced, our risk of mudslides is lowering, and our ranch is shifting from an annual grassland to a perennial grassland!” he said. “We believe it is possible to improve rangeland and produce top-quality meat in a natural environment that serves our local community.” He plans to encourage attendees to get to know their region’s ranchers and farmers a bit better. “It’s wild to think that we buy most our food from strangers,” said Selbert. “Getting to know your rancher or farmer really lets you in on the process and makes you want to become a part of it. When the community starts demanding products that have had a positive effect on the climate, our climate changes.”

SeaVees x Mental Wellness Center

p. 33

ART THERAPY: Harding Elementary students were blindfolded as they painted on the second portion of this therapeutic art project, and were advised to focus on their feelings about the future.

HEALTHY KICKS: High school students, including Gabe Munoz (above) worked with S.B.-based shoe brand SeaVees on designs to promote mental health.

he Santa Barbara–based shoe brand SeaVees has partnered with the Santa Barbara Mental Wellness Center to create a shoe inspired by mental health awareness, working with students from the center’s Wellness Connection Council and agreeing to donate 10 percent of the shoe’s sales to the center.

Students Model Mental Health Awareness Sneaker by Jun Starkey Students from the council, made up of area high school students, were involved in the advertising aspect of the shoes, modeling for the official promotional pictures of the shoes that can be seen on the SeaVees website. The council focuses on destigmatizing mental health among young people through education and empowerment. Gabe Munoz, a junior at San Marcos High School, was one of the council members who modeled for the SeaVees shoe launch. “I thought it would be fun to be the face of something I’m proud of,” Munoz said. He joined the council his freshman year, following in the footsteps of his sister, and said working on the council through the pandemic has allowed him to address anxiety and depression among students. “I think doing this has helped a lot with my mental health,” Munoz said. “It definitely helped a lot with my communication skills.” Though SeaVees is a national shoe brand, their flagship store is based out of Santa Barbara. Rachel Bacal, content and com-

munity manager for SeaVees, said the idea for the shoe was developed at the height of the pandemic, and it was always intended to be a community collaboration. After taking about a year to complete, the shoes officially launched in March 2022. “We always want to make sure we’re giving back to the community,” Bacal said. She also said she was very impressed by the dedication of the connection council, calling them the “voices of the campaign,” from start to finish. “It’s been amazing to have [the Wellness Connection Council] take part in the creative process.” For the design aspect of the shoe, SeaVees collaborated with Instagram personality Carissa Potter Carlson, who runs the account @peopleiveloved. Carlson wrote the phrase “You got this” on the outside heel and “I got this” on the inside sole, as well as a small drawing of a hand with her “People I’ve Loved” logo written inside. The bottoms of the sneakers are a dark-green shade, the same color as the green ribbon internationally known as the symbol for mental health awareness. Bacal said Carlson has a “raw, sincere approach to talking about emotion,” which the SeaVees team felt would pair nicely with the message the shoe was meant to convey. Annmarie Cameron, CEO of the Mental Wellness Center, said fundraising was never a main focus for the project, but she was grateful the students were given the opportunity to participate in the project. “Inspiring curiosity and passion is a bigger objective than fundraising, though we are grateful for the contributions,” she said.

‘Take That, COVID!’

wenty 4th-grade students from Harding Elementary—suited up in aprons, boots, and goggles — prepared themselves for the inevitable splashes of paint as one student pulled a massive slingshot full of paint back before letting go. In unison, the students shouted, “Take that, COVID!”

second canvas, set up about 20 feet away from the slingshot, was about envisioning the future, and students were given special goggles that blacked out their vision to help them focus their intentions. “We want you to focus on the feeling,” O’Brien told the group of 4th graders. “When we close our eyes, it allows us to have a different experience.” Harding psychologist Jill McGonigle said this project was all about allowing students to process whatever emotions had been brought on by the pandemic and express them in a productive way. “[We wanted to] give a voice to each child’s lived experience of COVID and acknowledge how it has impacted them, too,” McGonigle said. “We intended to create something special and meaningful together to honor their stories and memorialize this time in their lives.” The first step of the project involved McGonigle going into an individual class and explaining the project to students, giving each student a small square of paper to write words or draw pictures that represent how they felt during the height of the pandemic. Those small pieces of paper were then printed onto a canvas, allowing students to fling the paint directly onto their drawings. Some drawings had pictures of Zoom lessons, while other kids wrote about how happy they felt spending more time with their families. Other drawings depicted graves or family members they had lost to COVID-19. “Many students have lost family members to COVID. Many felt very isolated and fearful during lockdown,” McGonigle said. “It was truly a cathartic and therapeutic experience to acknowledge them in this way and give a voice to their stories.” n

Harding Elementary Students Sling Paint in Therapeutic Project by Jun Starkey Students at Harding Elementary School were given a chance to tackle their emotions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and distance learning with both a hands-on slingshot and blindfolded painting projects late last month. Students were barely able to contain their excitement as each of their peers pulled back the slingshot, each sitting on the edge of their seat and cheering loudly whenever the slingshot was let go. Harding Elementary Principal Veronica Binkley said this project was created to allow students to process whatever they had experienced during the pandemic, whether positive or negative. All students from Transitional Kindergarten through 6th grade at the elementary school participated in the project, totaling about 270 students. Dr. Sean O’Brien, a consultant for the STEAM program, and Luke Lamar, a local artist, guided the students through the project, giving them direction and encouragement whenever needed. The first canvas with the slingshot set up was about “letting go,” and Binkley even encouraged students to shout, “Take that, COVID!” as they let the slingshot go. The INDEPENDENT.COM

WEIGHT & WHEELS: Our columnist Amy Ramos checked out the circuit training classes at Bond Fitness on West Carrillo Street recently.

opular fitness programs are a bit like cults: the charismatic figure at the center, the devoted followers, and the dramatic changes in behavior that result. Happily, the outcome in the fitness world is usually improved cardiovascular health and toned muscles, not lawsuits and police raids. Curious about the loyal following of Bond Fitness, where a co-worker and neighbor are both dedicated members, I decided to find out what inspired such allegiance.

Learning the Ropes at Bond Fitness by Amy R. Ramos Bond Fitness began as the Jenny Schatzle Program. The famously voluble Schatzle still looms large over the enterprise as a co-owner, but she changed the name of the business to take the focus off herself and to emphasize relationships. “Bond” refers to the connections she wants members to form with themselves, with each other, and with the many instructors. The light-filled studio is well-stocked with equipment, but don’t plan on breezing in after work or on a weekend morning for a solo workout. The Bond philosophy is that working out in a group is the key to fitness success, so Bond offers only classes: specifically, 50 minutes of circuit training. Although the classes are high-intensity, Schatzle underscores that the Bond studio is a judgment-free zone, with workouts accessible for people of all ages and fitness levels. Schatzle boasts that a Bond workout is different every time. All the equipment in the studio can be moved except for the treadmills stationed in the front window, which allows the instructors to vary the routines. The classes I took did follow a basic pattern, though: two or four circuits, with each circuit made up of at least six equipment stations. Cardio was integrated into the circuits, and sometimes a cardio interval was interspersed between circuits: mountain climbers, jumping jacks, or — in a throw36

MARISCOS Y MICHELADAS IN OLD TOWN:

A new restaurant named Mariscos Santa Barbara has opened at 5892 Hollister Avenue, the former home of Wingman Rodeo, Gimeal Café, and The Natural Café. At the helm is Karlos Gonzales, a chef who learned his craft at a culinary school in Mexico as well as at various restaurants in Santa Barbara, including Brown Pelican, El Torito, and the Bacara.

metime and Sarah let me know that Carp Moon Café is coming to the former space of Juice N Things at 4991 Carpinteria Avenue in Carpinteria. Before it was Juice N Things, this was the long-time home of a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, which closed in May 2020. There are “coming soon” banners hanging outside the store, and it looks like furniture and other items are being arranged within the store. CRUSH BAR ANNIVERSARY: Crush Bar

FOOD & DRINK

or Neighborhood, you may have failed to notice that there is a nook between the two, hidden in plain sight. This space, at 231 West Montecito Street, will be the home of the Rodeo Room whiskey lounge starting next week. Rodeo Room is brought to you by Grace Austin (who ran the recently closed Little Kitchen on West Ortega Street), Colton Krueger, and Dudley Michael, founder of The Shop restaurant on Milpas Street. “Our idea, for me especially, was to answer the question ‘Where can I go have a cocktail that’s a higher-end level and eat a meal that’s not fried bar food all the time?’” said Michael. “On top of that, I don’t want to feel like I am sitting in a library where the music is turned all the way down. Trying to create a place where there is energy and a vibe is sort of the goal here.” The Rodeo Room’s scratch-made menu includes grilled Little Gem Caesar salad, street tacos, salmon poke tacos, egg rolls, burgers, wings, and more, topping out at $16. The whiskey-focused drinks, including Old Fashioneds, will cost $14-$16. The Rodeo Room is open Wednesday-Monday, 4 p.m. to late, with food available until 11 p.m. Rodeo Room will offer “Wasabi Wednesdays” of to-go sushi boxes by Chef Kevin Slemmons, who offers a similar service at the Pickle Room on Canon Perdido Street. On Tuesdays, when Rodeo Room is closed, the space may transform into a pop-up that’s a totally different business yet to be determined.

“We are trying to bring a new flavor to Old Town Goleta,” said Gonzales, referring to seafood dishes like ceviche, octopus tacos, spicy shrimp, and more. “You find those places in Mexico when you go to the beach.” The menu ranges in price from $15-$24, and there is also a variety of micheladas for sale. Mariscos Santa Barbara is open Wednesday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

DAMNED IF YOU DO

TEAMWORK: Playwright Candrice Jones and director Shirley Jo Finney in rehearsal for A Medusa Thread

ven by the gruesome standards of Greek myth, the Medusa story is disturbing. Poseidon lures Medusa, a young mortal known for her beautiful hair, to the Temple of Minerva, where he rapes her. Minerva finds Medusa and punishes the victim, rather than the perpetrator, by casting a spell that turns her long locks into writhing snakes. The effect this creates is so horrifying that anyone who looks at her directly turns to stone. Enter Perseus, the “hero” of the myth in Ovid’s version. Does Perseus take the side of Medusa, already twice wronged by the gods? Not a chance. In the twisted logic of this male fantasy, Perseus chooses instead to slay the victim turned monster. Approaching Medusa with a sword in hand and his back to her, Perseus avoids turning to stone by only looking at Medusa’s reflection in his shining, mirror-like shield. Thus protected, he decapitates Medusa and takes her head as a trophy of his victory.

But wait, there’s more. Even severed from her body, Medusa’s head retains its power to turn men to stone. Perseus, her murderer, weaponizes the dead woman’s corpse by carrying her head into battle and using it to defeat his other enemies. Slick move. A Medusa Thread, the new play by Candrice Jones that UCSB’s Launch Pad program will present in previews from May 16 through May 25, refracts and transposes elements of this story into a fantasy of the afterlife as a hair salon. After they die, women who have been raped come to a bardo-like transitional zone where they have their hair done before choosing which type of eternity they will enter. Cleverly combining multiple motifs from the Medusa myth, from sexual assault to the use of a mirror, Jones offers viewers an imaginary space where they can explore feelings about sexual

violence, victimization, self-image, and consent. When I spoke with the playwright on Zoom, she was exhilarated from the experience of working on the script in the company of her director, Shirley Jo Finney, and members of the UCSB Theater department’s BFA program. She praised the student actors for their courage in confronting the material and for the quality of the questions they raised. In earlier versions of the play, Medusa had been a college student, and Jones conceived of it as a spoken word piece. In developing the material into a full-length play with multiple roles, she said that she kept specific goals in focus. She said that A Medusa Thread sought “to examine how we talk about sexual assault in society” and reflect on the fact that, when it comes to rape, “everybody deals with it in their own way.” The idea for the setting came about through the realization that “haircuts are conversations about consent.” In offering her characters the chance to decide where they will spend eternity, Jones said she imagined “the ultimate amount of agency.” “What if you do get to choose?” she asked, referring to how her characters confront trauma and work on themselves. “I wanted to do a play about trauma without any manifestations of the violence that caused it,” she told me. “I’m writing about women who gain perspective on their lives—their lives before and after the traumatic event.” Launch Pad offers outstanding theater artists the opportunity to continue working on scripts while gaining the benefits of a fully staged production. A Medusa Thread can be seen at the UCSB Performing Arts Theater on May 16, 18, 20, 21, and 23 through 25 at 7 p.m. and on May 21 at 1 p.m. For tickets and more information, visit theaterdance.ucsb.edu. –Charles Donelan

n an era saturated with serials, sequels, and character-driven franchises, Elizabeth Strout elevates convention to the elusive status of art. Her novels don’t follow one another in a predetermined sequence; they express different perspectives on a single world. Her latest, Oh William!, is narrated by Lucy Barton, the protagonist of My Name Is Lucy Barton (2016) and a character

in Anything Is Possible (2017). In her review of Oh William! for the New York Times, novelist Jennifer Egan described the appeal of Strout’s expanding novelistic universe as “a prickle of cosmic convergence.” Pico Iyer will be on hand to engage Strout in what promises to be an engaging evening of conversation.

A MEDUSA THREAD IMAGINES THE AFTERLIFE AS A HAIR SALON

TRIO TIME: Jason Marsalis, Marcus Roberts, and Rodney Jordan For its final concert of the season on March 21 and 22 at The Granada Theatre, the Santa Barbara Symphony will conclude a year of performing great music in innovative configurations with another unexpected twist. What could top a sequence that began with a classic Broadway musical and included concertos for harp, organ, and piano (four hands), plus a new violin concerto based on mariachi? The answer is a well-known piano concerto by George Gershwin revised to feature a jazz piano trio as the soloist. Marcus Roberts first rose to prominence as the pianist in the Wynton Marsalis group from 1985 to 1991. Since then, Roberts has gone his own way, both as the leader of his trio, which features Jason Marsalis on drums and Rodney Jordan on bass, and as an increasingly important composer, arranger, and performer of the jazz and now the classical repertoire. With Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F, Roberts has created a new form that blends the rigor of an annotated score with the thrill and swing of improvisation. The second half of the program will feature the Symphony No. 1 of Florence Price, an African-American composer active in the period just after Gershwin. Alongside the innovation onstage, the Santa Barbara Symphony has committed to creating new opportunities and experiences through collaboration. For this visit by the Marcus Roberts Trio, there will be another concert presented by Jazz at the Lobero on Wednesday, May 18, where listeners will have a chance to hear the group stretch out on standards and originals by themselves. This rare combination of performances promises to be a revelation for jazz and classical music fans alike. —CD

ongtime Santa Barbara Symphony–goers and observers may have sensed déjà vu at the Granada Theatre last week. Fandango Picante’s primary focus was on new music by famed Mexican composer Arturo Márquez, the “Fandango for Violin and Orchestra,” with the magnificent violinist Anne Akiko Meyers as soloist. The evening closed with Márquez’s savory greatest hit, “Danzon No. 2.” The Latin American theme inevitably reminded us of conductor Gisele Ben-Dor’s innovative tenure (1994-2006) with the S.B. Symphony, which paid conspicuous and critically acclaimed attention to underexposed art music from south of the border, including Mexico. Her festivals dedicated to Silvestre Revueltas and Tango-Malambo were memorable highlights of Santa Barbara’s orchestral history. Maestro Nir Kabaretti opened with Bizet’s Carmen At The Granada Theatre, Suite and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Thu., May 5. Capriccio Espagnol, opus 24, Spanish-steeped scores by a Frenchman and a Russian, respectively. Meyers, who is always a joy to hear when on a local stage, acquitted herself with expected mastery. She summoned up an infectious yet relaxed engagement on the three-movement Fandango, which she premiered at the Hollywood Bowl with Gustavo Dudamel and the L.A. Philharmonic last summer. It is a feisty charmer with deep cultural roots in Mexico and Spain.

DAVID ZENTZ

SANTA BARBARA SYMPHONY WITH ANNE AKIKO MEYERS

Márquez’s music goes down easily, with few contemporary strategies diverting from his innate neoromantic instincts, emphasizing melodic gleam and momentum. The opening, “Folia Tropical,” suggests shades of nuevo tango king Astor Piazzolla’s style. The second movement, “Plegaria (Chacona),” eases into place gently before finding its rhythmic verve, kicked into high gear on the finale, “Fandanguito.” Against and alongside the Symphony’s tight orchestral foundation, Meyers offered a touch both sonorous and ruggedly energized. Ben-Dor would no doubt approve. —Josef Woodard

At the beginning of her set, the singer reflected on her last visit to the Bowl, which was when she was 18, following the release of her debut album Pure Heroine. The stage and wardrobe designs were reminiscent of a ’70s mod style, with light wood, ascending and descending staircases, and the band clad in yellow At the Santa Barbara jumpsuits. The focal point of the Bowl, Sat., May 7. stage was a large staircase atop a rotating platform, which doubled as a makeshift sundial as light shined against it. A giant planet-shaped orb projected on the back of the stage changed colors during the show. Lorde would often pause between songs to sit on the staircase and converse with the audience as if it were a coffee date with an old acquaintance. “How are you; have you been doing well?” she would ask, her voice low, husky, and hypnotic. Her opening number, “Leader of a New Regime,” began with the singer silhouetted from inside a drumlike circle at the stairway’s base. From this track to “Stoned at the Nail Salon,” Lorde was dressed in a silk,

purple suit, with a metallic purple bralette shining underneath, her eyes adorned with tiny purple and blue crystals. Most of the set was from the album Solar Power, which Lorde wrote in seclusion. The songs on the album reflect her desire to step back from the world’s chaos and tune out. She deleted social media, spent most of her days at home and off her phone, and then released the record at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The set felt like a playlist delicately curated by an old friend, with tranquil numbers from Solar Power carrying Lorde into intimate and, at times, angst-filled tracks from Pure Heroine and Melodrama. Before beginning one of her most known and well-loved songs, “Ribs,” she reminded the audience of when she wrote it. “I wrote this song when I was 15,” she said. “I want you to be your 15-year-old self right now.” —Jun Starkey

Marcus Roberts Trio Marcus Roberts, piano / Rodney Jordan, bass Jason Marsalis, drums

AMYTHYST KIAH

he sweet, soulful intimacy of this performance by Amythyst Kiah and her trio on their night off from opening for The Who made an ideal alternative to the margarita-fueled anarchy of mainstream Cinco de Mayo. Although Kiah’s profile has risen rapidly in the past six months thanks to a new album, a Grammy nomination, and the gig mentioned above opening for Pete Townshend and company, she’s an experienced performer with the poise and musicianship to hold an audience rapt from first note to last. Her funky and flexible companions — Emma Lambiase on bass and Austin Drewry on drums — provided the wide-open musical landscape in which Kiah’s heartfelt originals and imaginative cover versions unfolded. Switching back and forth between electric and acoustic guitars, Kiah built her set around the intense personal reflections found on Wary + Strange, her latest release. “Wild Turkey,” about losing her mother when she was still a teen, hit hard on the eve of Mother’s Day weekend. “Ballad of Lost” revealed more of Kiah’s emotional life as she mused about a failed romance. A pair of quirky covers — “Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Joy Division and Moby’s classic “Natural Blues” — hinted at Kiah’s generational influences and demonstrated her ability to switch things up in an arrangement. As expected, the evening’s highlight came on “Black Myself,” the tune she wrote for the group Our Native Daughters and that she reprised on the new record. This song feels like it’s always been around. Few artists in any genre can create something this essential, and it was galvanizing to hear it live. Kiah’s beautiful, self-assured voice sounded great all night long, and never more so than on these defiant lines: “I’ll stand my ground and smile in your face / ’Cause I’m Black myself.” —CD

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny WEEK OF MAY 12

ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “Choose the least important day in your life,” wrote Aries author Thornton Wilder. “It will be important enough.” I recommend that you make those your words to live by in the next two weeks. Why? Because I suspect there will be no tremendously exciting experiences coming your way. The daily rhythm is likely to be routine and modest. You may even be tempted to feel a bit bored. And yet, if you dare to move your attention just below the surface of life, you will tune into subtle glories that are percolating. You will become aware of quietly wondrous developments unfolding just out of sight and behind the scenes. Be alert for them. They will provide fertile clues about the sweet victories that will be available in the months ahead.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): “Every successful person I know starts before they feel ready,” declared life coach Marie Forleo. Author Ivan Turgenev wrote, “If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything, is ready, we shall never begin.” Here’s what educator Supriya Mehra says: “There’s never a perfect moment to start, and the more we see the beauty in ‘starting small,’ the more we empower ourselves to get started at all.” I hope that in providing you with these observations, Taurus, I have convinced you to dive in now. Here’s one more quote, from businesswoman Betsy Rowbottom: “There’s never a perfect moment to take a big risk.”

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Poet Ranata Suzuki writes, “There comes a point where you no longer care if there’s a light at the end of the tunnel or not. You’re just sick of the tunnel.” That’s good advice for you right now, Gemini. The trick that’s most likely to get you out of the tunnel is to acknowledge that you are sick of the damn tunnel. Announce to the universe that you have gleaned the essential teachings the ride through the tunnel has provided you. You no longer need its character-building benefits because you have harvested them all. Please say this a thousand times sometime soon: “I am ready for the wide-open spaces.”

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): In the coming weeks, your imagination will receive visions of the next chapter of your life story. These images and stories might confuse you if you think they are illuminating the present moment. So please keep in mind that they are prophecies of what’s ahead. They are premonitions and preparations for the interesting work you will be given during the second half of 2022. If you regard them as guiding clues from your eternal soul, they will nourish the inner transformations necessary for you to welcome your destiny when it arrives. Now study this inspirational quote from poet Rainer Maria Rilke: “The future glides into us, so as to remake itself within us, long before it occurs.”

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): “Remember that you will never reach a higher standard than you yourself set,” wrote author Ellen G. White. That’s true! And that’s why it’s so crucial that you formulate the highest standards you can imagine—maybe even higher than you can imagine. Now is a favorable phase for you to reach higher and think bigger. I invite you to visualize the best version of the dream you are working on — the most excellent, beautiful, and inspiring form it could take. And then push on further to envision even more spectacular results. Dare to be greedy and outrageous.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Before Virgo-born Leslie Jones achieved fame as a comedian and actor, she worked day jobs at United Parcel Service and Roscoe’s House of Chicken ’N Waffles. Her shot at major appreciation didn’t arrive until the TV show Saturday Night Live hired her to be a regular cast member in 2014, when she was 47 years old. Here’s how she describes the years before that: “Everybody was

telling me to get a real job. Everybody was asking me, ‘What are you doing? You’re ruining your life. You’re embarrassing your family.’ ” Luckily, Jones didn’t heed the bad advice. “You can’t listen to that,” she says now. “You have to listen to yourself.” Now I’m suggesting that you embrace the Leslie Jones approach, Virgo.

Santa Barbara

EATS & DRINKS

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A person must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur, and dreaming is nursed in darkness.” Author Jean Genet wrote that, and now I’m offering you his words as the seed of your horoscope. If you’ve been attuned to cosmic rhythms, you have been doing what Genet described and will continue to do it for at least another 10 days. If you have not yet begun such work, please do so now. Your success during the rest of 2022 will thrive to the degree that you spend time dreaming big in the darkness now.

Now Open for Late Night Eats! Hours: Sun-Thur 11am - 8pm w/ Late Night Menu Fri & Sat 11 - 2:30 am

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Cursed are those who feel floods but who can only express a few drops.” So says an internet proverb. Luckily, this principle won’t apply to you in the coming weeks. I expect you will be inundated with cascades of deep feelings, but you will also be able to articulate those feelings. So you won’t be cursed at all. In fact, I suspect you will be blessed. The cascades may indeed become rowdy at times. But I expect you will flourish amidst the lush tumult.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “It takes a great deal of experience to become natural,” wrote Sagittarian author Willa Cather. I’m happy to report that in recent months, you Sagittarians have been becoming more and more natural. You have sought experiences that enhance your authenticity and spontaneity. Keep up the good work! The coming weeks should bring influences and adventures that will dramatically deepen your capacity to be untamed, soulful, and intensely yourself.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “I intend to live forever,” proclaims 66-year-old comedian Steven Wright, who then adds, “So far, so good.” I offer you his cheerful outlook in the hope that it might inspire you to dream and scheme about your own longevity. Now is a great time to fantasize about what you would love to accomplish if you are provided with 90 or more years of life to create yourself. In other words, I’m asking you to expand your imagination about your long-term goals. Have fun envisioning skills you’d like to develop and qualities you hope to ripen if you are given all the time you would like to have. (P.S.: Thinking like this could magically enhance your life expectancy.)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Stop insisting on clearing your head,” advised author Charles Bukowski. “Clear your f---ing heart instead.” That will be a superb meditation for you to experiment with in the coming weeks. Please understand that I hope you will also clear your head. That’s a worthy goal. But your prime aim should be to clear your heart. What would that mean? Purge all apologies and shame from your longings. Cleanse your tenderness of energy that’s inclined to withhold or resist. Free your receptivity to be innocent and curious.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “The winner will be the one who knows how to pick the right fights,” wrote author Jane Ciabattari. Heed her advice, please, Pisces. You will soon be offered chances to deal with several interesting struggles that are worthy of your beautiful intelligence. At least one will technically be a “conflict,” but even that will also be a fruitful opportunity. If you hope to derive the greatest potential benefit, you must be selective about which ones you choose to engage. I recommend you give your focus to no more than two.
