Why do you gravitate toward court reporting? What interests you about it? After college, I plan to go to law school. Having the opportunity to go to the courthouse and research cases, interview attorneys, and try to get the scoop on different stories as a reporter allows me to interact with a field that truly interests me.

What’s the most interesting case you’ve written about or researched? The most interesting case I’ve researched concerned a country club getting sued for negligence after one of its members accidentally struck another member in the head with a golf club on the driving range. As your internship wraps up, what’s your biggest takeaway from the experience? Be curious. Interesting stories are hiding just beneath the surface if you dig a little.

PARALLEL STORIES

Dismantling Hierarchies: Alex Espinoza SUNDAY | MARCH 10 | 2:30 PM Described by Sandra Cisneros as “capable of renewing one’s faith in new fiction,” Alex Espinoza’s writing is filled with a sense of place and longing, and an idiosyncratic search for love, meaning, and unflinching truth. In an afternoon of reading and conversation, the author shares his thoughts on Southern California, masks, identity, cultural displacement, faith, the world of lucha libre, belonging, and why what should exclude us, empowers us. Parallel Stories is a literary and performing arts series that pairs art and artists with award-winning authors and performers of regional, national, and international acclaim. This series functions as a multidisciplinary lens through which to view the Museum’s collection and special exhibitions. This program is generously sponsored by the Samuel B. and Margaret C. Mosher Foundation.

FEB. 28-MAR. 7, 2019

CITY Owners of the now-shuttered Sears department store in La Cumbre Plaza have listed the iconic property for sale, informing would-be buyers it could be developed with as many as 546 highdensity housing units. No price was included in the offering. City Hall officials have been in contact with the family that owns Sears and have reportedly insisted that any new development take place in coordination with the entire La Cumbre Plaza. The mall is owned by at least three separate investment groups, making development complicated and problematic. City officials had not heard reports that noted real estate developer Brian Kelly, famous, among other things, for building the Lark complex in the Funk Zone, was attempting to secure control of La Cumbre. Calls to Kelly were not returned by deadline.

Goleta the Ganja Land?

Six Cannabis Shops Apply for Old Town; 15 Storefronts in Planning Stages by Jean Yamamura he riches promised by storefront cannabis shops were enough to have one landlord joking that he would be renting to the best drug dealers in Goleta. Fifteen applicants have filed with the City of Goleta to open retail stores selling cannabis products. Nine are in Old Town, though three were made inactive for being within 300 feet of an earlier applicant. But Old Town might be able to avoid having cannabis retail on every block; on Monday, the Planning Commission will consider expanding the proximity requirements between shops and around the Goleta Valley Community Center. The fervor over cannabis gold has some longtime landmarks looking to make the switch, including the palm reader on the corner of Fairview and Hollister avenues and the old Union 76 station on the corner of Hollister Avenue and Rutherford Street. The 2,500-square-foot Gimeal Restaurant on Orange Avenue has also filed. The gas station is now a Fuel Depot owned by John Price, who was told by Goleta Planning that a major, not a minor, conditional-use permit could be required: His cannabis shop would be too close to homes (within 100 feet) and the children’s day school at the Goleta Valley Community Center (600 feet). Price has a second application in for the Zizzo’s Coffee drivethru at 370 Storke Road. Contacted briefly on the phone, Price said he was reconsidering the Fuel Depot permit. Goleta’s retail cannabis rules went into

effect August 17, 2018, a date that saw at least nine applications filed, and next week’s Planning Commission meeting follows a January workshop on rule revisions. All the applicants were told that any permit decisions would be made according to the city rules in force at the time, a statement that has gotten pushback from Coastal Dispensary’s attorneys, Cappello & Noël. Coastal has applied for a cannabis shop at 5710 Hollister Avenue, directly across the street from the Goleta Valley Community Center. It’s already been approved for a store in Santa Barbara on Chapala Street, though the spot is currently red-tagged for premature building renovations, and Coastal’s cannabis permit has been challenged. In a letter to Goleta planning commissioners ahead of a January 23 workshop with the City Council, attorney Lawrence Conlan stated Coastal had spent more than $100,000 prepping for the permit and that in August, when the application was filed, no buffer existed for youth centers or schools. Conlan also wrote that the prior tenant “vacated the premises to accommodate Coastal’s proposed business.” That tenant disagrees. Not only is 5710 Hollister Avenue directly across from Goleta’s community center, but it also previously housed Phebe Mansur’s business, CopyRight. Mansur is the executive director of the Goleta Old Town Community Association, a major advocate for the neighborhood. Her landlord gave her early warning of Coastal’s offer of three times her rent, somewhere around $10,000 a month. Mansur

GAS TO GRASS? Among the 15 retail cannabis applications Goleta has received, four are on Hollister Avenue in Old Town, including the Fuel Depot (above), and (from left) the Palm Reader at Fairview Avenue, 5710 Hollister Avenue, and Gimeal Restaurant on Orange Avenue.

went ahead and moved, right next door in a former furniture store, but she is concerned: “Old Town could end up like Santa Barbara with exceptionally high rents,” she said. Her new lease says her landlord can raise the rent at any time if surrounding rents rise. The owner of 5710 Hollister, Michael Stiny, said the great attraction of his building is the large parking lot behind it. And the great attraction of a cannabis shop would be the work Coastal will do to upgrade the interior, the security it will be required to have, and the “jewelry store environment, like Tiffany’s,” said Stiny. He described a nearby smoke shop as one of the nicest stores in Goleta. The two existing medical cannabis shops in Old Town have both applied for storefront retail status. One of them is zoned “industrial general,” a designation that does not allow retail cannabis activity. Altering the uses allowed under that designation is among the questions before the Planning Commission on March 11 at 6 p.m. Another is whether to streamline the application, which currently includes a conditional-use permit (CUP) and a cannabis business license process. The commissioners are considering folding CUP requirements into the one-year business license, which examines owners and employees for crime convictions, outlines surveillance and financial reporting requirements, and prohibits consumption of cannabis product on-site or within 100 feet of the business, among many other conditions, such as parking. n

As the result of a $10,000 grant from the Fund for Santa Barbara, on top of the efforts of volunteers, La Casa de la Raza will soon begin broadcasting upward of 35 hours per week on its new radio station, KZAA LP 96.5 FM. That’s up from five hours per week less than a year ago. The station will focus on lifting up marginalized voices, say managers, particularly those in the Chicano/ Latino community, as well as indigenous people. Broadcasts begin at 6 a.m. on weekdays.

COUNTY Between 2014 and 2017, 160 homeless individuals died prematurely in Santa Barbara County, according to a report presented to the county supervisors this week. In 2017 — the most recent year for which records have been compiled — the number was 44; in 2015, it was 32. Of those who died in 2017, 62 percent were male, 64 percent were white, and they lived — on average — to the age of 52. That’s 25 years less than the average life expectancy in Santa Barbara County of 77. Five were veterans. Two were the victims of homicides; 15 died of accidental causes; 24 were done in by unspecified “natural causes.” Although 18 died outdoors, none of the deaths were attributed to exposure to the elements.

Black Student Union Submits Demands

ifty years after 12 black students took over UC Santa Barbara’s North Hall to demand change on campus, the Black Student Union met with UCSB administrators to submit a list of demands not all that different from those students demanded five decades before. On February 9, the BSU team sent a follow-up email to the UC Regents after presenting their demands to Chancellor Henry Yang. The students iterated their demands and informed the Board of Regents about what they described as an anti-black incident that occurred before the regents joined the meeting. Students are demanding a Malcolm X Center for Black Student Development in part to commemorate the 1968 North Hall takeover during which students first sought to create a space for black students. Students are also asking the university to create an Office of Black Student Development to “increase the number of black students in college who graduate and are successful.” Currently, only 5 percent of undergraduates are black; the freshman class entering in 2014 had a 65 percent four-year graduation rate, compared to white students’ graduation rate of 76 percent. Students have spelled out a staff for the Black Student Development office, namely a director and assistant director, two academic support counselors, recruitment

“WE NEED TO DO BETTER”: A proposal aiming to protect tenants misses the mark, according to CAUSE leader Lucas Zucker (pictured).

Battle Brews over ‘Just-Cause Eviction’ Tenants’ Rights Advocates Turn Up the Heat

by Nick Welsh

n a dress rehearsal for a looming battle over renters’ rights, a subcommittee of the Santa Barbara City Council tentatively approved a measure requiring landlords pay up to $5,000 in relocation assistance to tenants displaced through no fault of their own. After struggling over where to draw the line, the council’s Ordinance Committee endorsed a “no-fault mass relocation” measure that would require such assistance if more than 20 percent of tenants occupying housing complexes of seven or more units were displaced within a 12-month period. The Santa Barbara Board of Realtors had recommended a much looser threshold, one that would allow up to five no-fault evictions a year and would require relocation assistance only in complexes 15 units or larger when 35 percent of the tenants were displaced within one year. The seven-unit solution was a compromise between the Realtors’ proposal and that of Councilmember Oscar Gutierrez, who argued the ordinance should apply to any rental properties bigger than a duplex. “I’m trying to keep our families here,” he said. “I’m trying to make sure everyone is protected.” Councilmember Randy Rowse countered that the ordinance was drafted in response to mass evictions caused several years ago when out-of-town real estate companies like Ivy Apartments bought up large apartment complexes and evicted tenants — predominantly low-income immigrant and Latino families — to cater to more upscale tenants. By crafting too broad an ordinance, he cautioned, the council might encourage longtime mom-and-pop landlords to get out of the business, thus shrinking the supply of rental housing units. Councilmember Kristen Sneddon tried to cut the proverbial baby in half by suggesting the seven-unit threshold. This marked the second consecutive week the Ordinance Committee has wrestled with a package of measures designed to provide greater protection to Santa Barbara renters. Last week, that package came under intense fire from many of the tenants’ rights advocates attending. “We need to do better

than that,” said Lucas Zucker, organizer and chief numbers cruncher for CAUSE (Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy), which has been pushing City Hall for tougher tenant protections since December 2016. The proposals before the Ordinance Committee, Zucker charged, were “riddled” with so many exceptions and restrictions that only 37 percent of the city’s tenants would be protected. “In terms of stopping mass evictions of tenants,” he charged, “it protects virtually no one.” Based on changes made this Tuesday, however, those protections — if ultimately adopted by the entire City Council — would cover 80 percent of the city’s rental units. Last week, organizers with CAUSE cited the case of a woman and her 42-year-old son now being evicted after 16 years from their East Voluntario Street digs, reportedly because of health issues that have beset the son in the past year. But landlords showed up, too, with stories of their own to tell, like Theresa Gray talking about renting to one tenant for 27 years without increasing rents once. These issues forced their way onto City Hall’s radar two years ago when vacancy rates had dropped to 0.6 percent and the city’s Rental Mediation Task Force was handling 1,500 cases a year. Rents had reached the point where only 40 percent of the population made enough to “afford” what one-bedroom apartments were fetching on the open market. “Afford” meaning that no one pays more than onethird their income. As of this Tuesday, the issue of justcause eviction remained far from settled. Councilmembers Sneddon and Gutierrez both expressed support for throwing the issue back to the council at large. As one longtime affordable housing advocate, Mickey Flacks, noted, the County of Santa Barbara has long had a just-cause eviction ordinance, and the county government had yet to collapse due to such “socialistic” intrusions. With four council seats up for grabs this November, the politics of tenants’ rights now finds itself imbued with added n urgency.

Bradley Brock has been named the new principal of La Cumbre Junior High School. He’ll be filling the position left vacant after former principal Jo Ann Caines died in June 2018. Caines held the position for more than 10 years. Under her leadership, reading proficiency scores increased by 20 percent in what was previously a struggling school. La Cumbre largely serves the Latino and low-income

population on the Westside. Last year, the junior high school had a population of 535 students, 77 percent of whom qualified for free or reduced lunch and 85 percent of whom identified as Latino. Brock has 18 years of experience as a teacher and administrator.

The Best Defense IsCountyaApproves Good Defense Massive Wildfire Protection Plan

TOP BRASS: County Supervisors approved an eastern Goleta wildfire protection plan after a presentation from (from left) S.B. County Deputy Fire Marshal Rob Hazard, Division Chief Steve Oaks, and Fire Chief Mark A. Hartwig.

by Keith Hamm escribed as a gazette of strategy and information designed to protect an area that’s arguably one of the most vulnerable statewide to catastrophic wind-driven wildfire, a 270page plan has been approved unanimously by the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. The hefty document, titled the San Marcos Pass–Eastern Goleta Valley Mountainous Communities Community Wildfire Protection Plan, covers nearly 30 square miles, from the front-country San Marcos Foothills to the Paradise Canyon backcountry, and including the chaparralsurrounded Trout Club and Painted Cave residential areas. The plan took more than two years to craft and went through 10 versions, according to Santa Barbara County Deputy Fire Marshal Rob Hazard, who headed up the effort and presented the plan before Tuesday’s vote by the board. Boiled down, explained Hazard, the protection plan aims to “enhance communitywide preparedness and protection” through a bevy of recommendations, from public education and beefed-up evacuation plans to brush clearing and home hardening, among others. The work also officially identified wildland-urban interface areas within the plan’s 19,588-acre boundary, which helps free up future federal grant dollars if and when the county sets aspects of the plan in motion. “[This plan] is not a commitment to any particular action,” clarified County Counsel Mike Ghizzoni. It simply collects all the priorities of the communities in its scope; if the county moves forward, any aspect of the plan would be subject to the normal flow chart of approval. Supervisor Joan Hartmann stressed that the document serves as a valuable template for other county regions, including the Gaviota Coast, another mountainous expanse of drought-ravaged chaparral. All said, the plan covers 12 communities, 16 recreation facilities, 1,121 structures, and 7,322 residents in an area that hasn’t experienced a major wildland blaze since the Painted Cave Fire of 1990, an act of arson that burned 5,000 acres, destroyed more than 400 structures, and killed one civilian. While the plan emphasizes the impor-

tance of an individual home’s defensible space — a closely cropped buffer zone between the house and surrounding trees and shrubs — it also recommends more than three dozen potential “fuel treatment projects,” which would clear brush around community areas and roadsides along critical evacuation routes, equaling 250 total acres (1.2 percent of the plan’s scope). Another 522 acres of private fuel treatments, 183 acres of County Fire treatments, and roughly 800 acres of U.S. Forest Service fuel breaks — all existing — are also cited for maintenance and monitoring. Hazard also stressed the need for “consistent vegetation management along Highway 154.” According to 75 years of data, 77 percent of wildfires started within 50 feet of a road. On San Marcos Pass, for example, it’s not uncommon, especially during a heat wave, for overheated vehicles to pull over onto the grassy shoulder. To help prevent an accidental ignition “really only requires a small buffer of 10 feet,” Hazard said, adding, however, that such vegetation clearance needs to be diligently maintained. “Aggressive management of dry [roadside] grasses is one of the most important things we can do.” Therein lies an issue, offered Lee Chiacos, the Trout Club’s vegetation manager. Addressing the board during the publiccomment period, he explained that many wildfire starts along roadways have been quickly extinguished by community members highly tuned in to the dangers of tall grass on a hot day. “We can’t keep depending on luck,” he said, politely urging Caltrans to do a better job keeping road shoulders clear of dangerous fire fuels. “We need to make it a priority for Caltrans to be part of this comprehensive plan.” Painted Cave resident Phil Seymour emphasized that the plan “is a living document” that ought to be steadily updated as new information becomes available. Advances in evacuation planning, for example, are likely to emerge from last year’s Camp Fire tragedy in the Northern California town of Paradise. As for the plan’s long road to Tuesday’s approval, Seymour said, “It represents the values of the people who n actually live in the area.”

Opinions COME ON: The guy sitting in the plastic chair next to me looked like a thousand solar windstorms had blown through him. The way he held him-

angry poodle barbecue

self suggested another thousand might be lining up. We each knew who the other was. We didn’t talk. We were both there— waiting outside of Judge Clifford Anderson’s courtroom in the basement of the Santa Barbara Courthouse—for the same reason: his son. At that moment, his son— 27 years old, intensely handsome, and said to be off-thecharts smart —was locked up behind the Plexi-

glas partition in Judge Anderson’s chambers, dressed in jailhouse orange, and waiting for the next shoe to drop. Prosecutors are insisting he should be held without bail for bombarding an ex-girlfriend with a fusillade of text messages that constitute felonious stalking.

I don’t pretend to know the facts of this case. I do pretend, however, to know the real reason he’s facing these charges. The short answer has everything to do with guns and mental health. The longer answer has everything to do with a wildly successful pilot program the county started last September in which a sheriff’s deputy—James McKarrell —and a county mentalhealth-care-crisis outreach worker— Bradley Crable —roll out on patrol together. Their focus, among other things, is to help defuse people in the throes of mental-health crisis, making sure bad situations don’t explode even worse than they already have. In the case involving the 27-year-old

Dark Night of the Dog son in Judge Anderson’s courtroom, McKarrell and Crable—more bureaucratically known as “The Co-Response Unit of the Sheriff’s Crisis Intervention Team”—exceeded all expectations. Despite this, Crable and McKarrell were notified this Monday that the Co-Response unit would be discontinued. Two Saturdays ago, McKarrell and Crable first encountered the young man behind the glass in Anderson’s courtroom, responding to a call about a person living at home with his parents who’d

texted a long and suicidal-sounding message to relatives. What they found blew everyone’s

minds. The guy had stockpiled 13 seriously hairy firearms: Glocks, AR-15s, shotguns, long rifles. Some had been custom-made. He had 20,000 rounds of ammunition, body armor, and steel plates for added protection. One of the firearms —a long rifle—had been buried in the backyard. All, by the way, were legally registered. If suicide was the intent, he had enough to take himself out 20,000 times. But that’s not what put law enforcement in a cold sweat. In 2014, Elliot Rodger killed six people and wounded 14 more in Isla Vista. In 2006, former postal worker Jennifer San Marco went on a shooting spree at Goleta’s postal annex, killing eight people, herself included. Mass shootings are not hypothetical possibilities in Santa Barbara. Law enforcement had visions of the man taking a one-way drive to the Chumash Casino —an accomplished poker player, he had more than $40,000 in winnings in his room—strapped, packed, and body-armored for one final fling.

It’s entirely possible, as some have suggested, that they overreacted. But who in their right mind can take that chance? Here’s where having the Co-Response team show up made a huge difference. Law enforcement officers in Santa Barbara County are not allowed to make the finding that someone poses an imminent threat to themselves or to others,

known in the parlance as 5150. Santa Barbara remains the only county where this is true. But Crable, because he’s a mobile crisis-outreach worker, could and did. Not only that, the CoResponse Unit made sure the subject was placed in an involuntary hold for up to 72 hours in a state-licensed facility in Las Encinas. That fact legally precludes the young man from owning or possessing any firearms for the next five years.

Had he been kept in Cottage Hospital’s psychiatric ER instead—because it’s not licensed for involuntary holds—nothing would have legally prevented him from reclaiming his arsenal. But only for five years. The felony stalking charges were filed to make sure that’s extended to forever. A felony conviction results in a lifetime ban on gun ownership. This is hardly a typical case for the CoResponse Unit. More typically, they show up after deputies have detained someone in full meltdown mode and are waiting for mentalhealth backup. Such waits often last three hours or more. Babysitting schizophrenics on meth is not what most deputies signed up for, nor is it a good use of law enforcement. And such waits are hardly beneficial for the people—who are

already having the worst day of their life—being detained. Situations can escalate from bad to worse to unmanageable. Force can be deployed. People can get hurt. Some get killed. Even if that doesn’t happen, people who should get treatment wind up in jail,where,famously,they don’t tend to get better. If the coercive power of the state can be deployed to get this particular young dude the help he would not otherwise seek, that would seem an obvious and positive outcome. The day before sharing a short stretch of silence with the young man’s father, I’d attended

a confab of mental-health activists, providers, and government officials. The news was great.

The CEOs of all three county hospitals were talking with county administrators about providing more mental-health beds, desperately needed. We heard of new detox programs for people without money; we heard of greatly expanded rehab plans for people of means. We heard about millions of dollars in state grants all but in our pockets for new initiatives to divert the mentally ill from behind bars. Only after it was over would I hear that the plug had been pulled on the Co-Response Unit, just months after its launch. By all accounts, it had proved valuable. But because of an acute shortage of patrol officers, the department will stop assigning Deputy McKarrell to the Co-Response Unit. Barring divine intervention, the program goes dark March 25. Let’s hear it for divine intervention. Failing that, prepare to get rocked by more of those solar — NickWelsh winds.

She was one of nine siblings with whom she had a very close bond. She grew up in a ranch along the Sespe creek in a home that her father built by hand. She enjoyed the outdoors and would speak fondly of her memories with her sister “Tere” going to the dairy to bring back fresh eggs and milk and loved the smell of the orange blossoms. In 1931,following the great depression, her family decided to move back to Mexico to her father’s hometown of Valpariso, Zacatecas. Her father again built the family home by hand and named it, El Maguey. In 1941, at age 18, Julia left El Maguey and her parents to live with her oldest sister, Benigna Robledo in Santa Barbara. She helped care for her nieces and nephews and soon began working at the local packing house. During one of the big band dances at the KP club she first met and danced with her future husband, Oscar Woolfolk Sr. They were married November 17, 1943. They had three sons, Oscar, Joseph and Edward. They were married for 75 years. Julia loved to cook. She often 16

Eileen Syme Horton passed away peacefully at home on the morning of February 14th in Santa Barbara, CA. She spent her final days surrounded by the love of friends and family, who will always remember her as a beautiful, loving, supportive, and strong woman. Eileen was born in Provo, Utah on July 31st, 1944, to George and Janice Syme, and was the fifth child of her parent’s six children. Eileen always had a great love for music, and her instrument of choice was the French horn. She received many musical honors while in school, and continued to play after she graduated high school and began attending Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. It was here that she met her future husband Roger Horton, who also shared the same love for playing the French horn. Eileen and Roger were married in Provo, Utah, on August 7th, 1964, and later moved to Grand Forks, North Dakota, where Eileen worked in the payroll department at Grand Forks Air Force Base, while her husband served in the USAF. They later moved to Santa Barbara, California, which was Roger’s hometown, where they found many lifelong friends, and had their two sons Eric and Brian. Eileen was a loving wife and mother, but was also dedicated to her work at the University of California, where she excelled in the various roles she held, and cherished the many great friends she made there. Eileen and her

husband were also co-owners of multiple successful restaurants in Santa Barbara called Omelettes Etc., where she put her exceptional organizational and accounting skills to good use. Eileen had a fascination with Dragons, and loved reading books by Anne McCaffrey about these wonderful mythical creatures. She also had a lifelong love for cats, and always had at least two feline friends to dote on in her home. She also enjoyed the intellectual exercise of completing the daily crossword puzzles in the news press, as well as her weekly games of mahjong with friends. Eileen’s religious heritage was The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and she retained her dedication to the LDS Church throughout her entire life. Eileen’s friends and family will miss her immensely, but take comfort knowing their angel is now resting in peace. Friends are encouraged to join the family for a Memorial on Saturday, March 30th from 2:00 to 3:00PM at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located at 2107 Santa Barbara St, Santa Barbara, CA.

Thomas C. Bruice 08/25/25-02/15/19

Thomas C. Bruice passed away on February 15 from complications following a stroke. He was born on August 25, 1925 in Los Angeles. He left high school (Manual Arts) after his junior year to serve in the U.S Navy (1943-1946), assigned as a medic with the Marines in the South Pacific. After his discharge, he attended Los Angeles City College. Bruice earned his B.S. (1950) and his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry (1954) at USC and was a post-doctoral fellow at UCLA. He was a professor at Yale University School of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Cornell University. In 1964 he resigned his position at Cornell, telling the President of the University that he would stay if he would get rid of the snow and build him a surfing beach. His search for a place to surf led him (along with his Cornell graduate students and post-doctoral fellows) to the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he joined the faculty and surfed well into his seventies. Bruice was one of the fathers of bioorganic chemistry, applying the principles of physical-organic chemistry to understand the mechanisms of biochemical reactions. He was elected to both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1974. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a Guggenheim Fellow. Among Bruice’s many awards were the National Academy of Sciences Award for Innovative Research in the Chemical Sciences, the Linus Pauling Medal, The Tolman Medal, the Repligen Medal for the Chemistry of Biological Processes, the Alfred Bader Medal for Bioorganic Chemistry, and the James Flack Norris Award in Physical-Organic Chemistry. He had over 600 publications and Science Watch listed him among “The World’s 50 Most Cited Chemists between 19841991”. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Paula Yurkanis Bruice, and his children Tom (Corinne), Ann, Carl (Lynn), Meghan Thomas (Mark), Kenton (Donna), Alec (Whitney), and 13 grandchildren. A celebration of his life will be held at a later date. Donations in his memory may be made to the Adventures in Caring Foundation (1528 Chapala Street, SB 93101) or to The Ensemble Theatre Company (P.O. Box 2307, SB 93120).

Maxim Concerns

pecial education is a critical part of our school system. In fact, every student has special needs and should be afforded the best opportunity to learn, inquire, and express. In my many years working in the Santa Barbara Unified School District, I have never seen an outside corporation brought in to work with students. Recently, the district brought in a corporation called Maxim to staff “para-educator” positions throughout multiple schools. I quit because I saw this undermining the integrity of public education. Maxim has a history of defrauding public institutions like Medicare and Veterans Affairs. They don’t deserve a penny from taxpayers. Moreover, Maxim takes away para-educator jobs from anyone on AESOP, the district substitute job board. What we need is better training and competitive wages for those working in special education. I cannot overestimate the value of special education. So many students count on it for support. [See independent.com/specialedconcerns for full letter]

Funk Zone Solution?

ello City Officials, I’m the owner of Metro Entertainment, a 28-year-old retail store here in Santa Barbara. Please tell me why there are no homeless people in the Funk Zone. I am not asking why it’s an issue or how to solve it. I only want to know why there are none there, yet they sleep in my door every night and are having a negative impact on my business and all businesses in my area. Your quick and honest answer is appreciated.

Be Wary

olitico’s Natasha Korecki recently disclosed a large, coordinated effort, perhaps by Russians (this is uncertain at the moment), to amplify one legitimate online political comment into thousands, as though all

were by different individuals. The pretend thousands of separate opinions are spread through social and print media, all directed at Democratic Party presidential candidates. They are nasty criticisms that contain false accusations and phony representations of past behavior, beliefs, or statements. The effort is to stimulate enmity among Democrats, leading to a fractured party effort to unseat Donald Trump in 2020. This is a more sophisticated attempt to influence our elections than those in the past. I appeal to all who are voting in the Democratic Party primary to avoid participating in online discussion, debate, or comment on Democrat presidential candidates. If you do, you will enhance this attempt to “divide and conquer.” Confine your relevant questions, discussions, or opinions to those in your presence, to your U.S. mail correspondents, or to telephone conversations. I understand the desire to speak your mind in online media. I am not shy about this myself. But I would hope to defeat or diminish this clever but very harmful strategy. — William Smithers, S.B.

¶ Two images in last week’s cover story on Sad Boy Loko carried incorrect credits; they were taken by Austin William Simkins/@saltystate. ¶ The Angry Poodle Barbecue of February 21 detailed the lawsuit recently filed by the County of Santa Barbara against Purdue Pharmaceuticals and a handful of other major manufacturers of opioid pain medications. The column highlighted the role played by Arthur Sackler, whose relatives own Purdue and have been named in countless lawsuits for aggressive and deceptive marketing campaigns that contributed to the death toll inflicted by painkillers. Arthur Sackler, it should be noted, died in 1987, several years before OxyContin was released on the market. His widow has taken exception to his depiction in the county’s lawsuit, which alleges that Sackler, a practicing psychiatrist, helped purchase what would later become Purdue with two brothers in 1952. They subsequently bought him out. In addition, Sackler owned an advertising agency and a medical newspaper. By all accounts, he was a pioneer when it came to mass marketing pharmaceuticals, Librium and Valium to name just two.

INDEPENDENT.COM

BY SH EILA LODGE

recent Independent article said I’d been “waging a lonely battle against increased housing densities for the past 10 years.” That’s quite an ironic statement since I suggested in September 2010 that that an experiment be made by increasing density for rental units in a limited area of the city, an experiment that became the AUD (Average Unit-size Density) Incentive Program [independent.com/statehousingcrisis]. The first project completed was The Marc. It had no affordability requirements, and its new Santa Barbara residents generated the need for even more lower-cost housing. Five years before, in 2005, the city began preparation for a General Plan Update (GPU), a plan that lays out how the city would develop over the next 20 years. Some strongly believed that if densities were increased in central areas, it would be possible for developers to build market-rate affordable housing. Others strongly believed that the city didn’t have the resources for higher densities and that no changes should be made. (The environmental impact report for the GPU said that leaving densities as they were would be the environmentally preferable alternative.) The council was at an impasse. There were numerous meetings — sometimes very stormy — of the council ad hoc GPU committee. It appeared as if there might not be a GPU. In an effort to reach a compromise between those who wanted to increase density everywhere and those who didn’t want to increase density anywhere, I proposed that in a very limited part of the city’s commercial and light industrial areas densities be increased for rental projects. Units presumably would be less expensive by design. The City Council accepted the suggestion. It decided that this experimental program would last until 250 rentals are completed or eight years had passed. It also greatly reduced parking requirements. The ordinance implementing the program was adopted in July 2013. A new way to determine how many units per acre could be built was created: Average Unit-size Density (AUD). The smaller the units, the more could be built, up to a certain average size. During the GPU process, people were asked what they loved about Santa Barbara. They said its smalltown feel, diverse population, scenic beauty, distinctive architecture, preservation of historic character, and vibrant culture. The major problem was the lack of affordable housing. This was not a new issue. One history noted that by 1930, the council’s weekly agenda contained measures to ease the housing crisis. A 1948 report said that the most

pressing problem was a critical lack of affordable housing. More than 25,000 additional dwelling units have been built since 1948, and the same problem continues. Maybe there never was a time in Santa Barbara without a housing crisis! When I made the suggestion for the test program, I had in mind Casa de Las Fuentes, a beautiful Housing Authority project at Carrillo and Castillo streets. Its density is 57 dwelling units to the acre. High-density projects that fit within the community can be done well. However, what the city got is The Marc, an 89-unit mixed-use development on upper State Street near La Cumbre Road. It is 63 units to the acre. The Marc was the first high-density test program rental project to be completed. To my dismay, its rents began at $2,445 and went up to $4,100. This was more than twice what architects and developers in a design charrette said would be the starting point: $1,200. I was naïve or just plain dumb. There is no such thing as affordable by design. Although land costs per unit are lower with higher density, rents will be whatever the market will bear. Developers have found the program so attractive that another 62 units have been completed, and there are 492 units in the pipeline. Since no one anticipated this rush to build — no apartments had been built in Santa Barbara in decades — no mechanism had been created to call a halt to new applications. By summer 2016, even some members of the development community saw the need for affordability in the AUD incentive projects. I organized an ad hoc committee to seek ways to require that affordability in fall 2016. In December 2016, the City Council directed the establishment of a Housing Task Force to seek ways to improve the AUD incentive program. To get affordability, it was necessary to require inclusionary (rent-restricted) units. But before any rent restrictions are imposed, state law requires a study showing a connection between the new residents paying market rates and the creation of an additional demand for low-income housing. That study confirmed the added demand and said that a requirement for up to 15 percent of the units to be rent-restricted could be supported. The ordinance amendment for inclusionary units will be before the Planning Commission on March 7. Assuming it is adopted by the City Council, it will still be some months before it becomes effective. It could affect 217 units in the pipeline. The AUD incentive program experiment has caused new rental units to be built; it has not provided the workforce-affordable units so badly needed. n

No to New Oil Drilling Avoid the Climate Impacts and Leave It in the Ground

WATER RISKS: The proposed Cat Canyon wells would drill through the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin, putting the drinking water of more than 200,000 people at risk at a time when water scarcity is already a serious problem in our county.

B Y L E A H C . S T O K E S , D AV I D P E L L O W, A N D E M I LY W I L L I A M S n March 13, the Santa Barbara County Plan-

ning Commission is scheduled to vote on whether to approve the first of a trio of new oil projects in Cat Canyon, in the northern part of our county. Specifically, three oil companies —Aera Energy, ERG Resources, and PetroRock—are proposing 750 new oil wells near Santa Maria. If approved, these projects would triple our county’s onshore oil production and move us in the wrong direction on climate change and environmental justice. For these reasons, we, along with 80 researchers at UCSB, have signed a letter that urges county decisionmakers to consider the full costs and impacts of new oil drilling. Expanded fossil-fuel production in our county would increase our carbon emissions, worsening climate change. In fact, this proposed 40-year project is directly at odds with the county’s own goal of decreasing greenhouse-gas emissions 50 percent by 2030. Emissions from the project alone would account for about half of the county’s planned reductions, making it even harder for us to meet our goals. This is not “clean” oil: The carbon intensity of California’s oil fields is some of the highest in the country. To even get the oil out of the ground, more fossil fuels have to be burned. We’ve already seen what warming the planet by just one degree Celsius has done to our community. We have all lived through the consequences of climate change with the Thomas Fire, the Montecito debris flows, and the years-long drought. These experiences are linked to climate change. Research has shown that since the 1980s, climate change has doubled the amount of land burned in the Western United States, putting low-income populations and people of color at particular risk. Extreme precipitation, like the hard rain that fell the morning of January 9, 2018, is more likely under climate change. We can already measure climate change’s significant contribution to our latest drought. If we continue on this trajectory, some scientists project that in the next 80 years, Mediterranean regions like our own will become deserts. Santa Barbara County is highly vulnerable to climate change — we should be part of the solution, not the problem. But the issue goes beyond the local risks we face from climate change. Water is also a key concern with this development. The proposed Cat Canyon wells would drill through the Santa Maria Groundwater Basin, putting the drinking water of more than 200,000 people at risk at a time when water scarcity is already a serious problem in our county. This isn’t just our opinion. The

county’s environmental impact report for the project labels the threat to drinking water from a rupture or leak as “Class 1” — significant and unavoidable. Most communities that depend on the groundwater basin for their drinking water are lower income and communities of color, raising significant concerns for environmental justice. Imagine how you might feel if an oil company proposed to drill near Lake Cachuma. Expanding oil production in Santa Barbara County places our health and environment at great risk. This development will use our county’s precious water resources to fuel extreme extraction techniques. It’s not just researchers at UCSB that oppose this plan. Residents have attended meetings to make their voices heard. Many civil society organizations are opposed to these projects, including Safe Energy Now, the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE), Food & Water Watch, Santa Barbara Standing Rock Coalition, Sierra Club Los Padres Chapter, Environmental Defense Center, and 350 Santa Barbara. Public support is likely not on the side of these projects either. Only one in three people living in Santa Barbara County want to expand offshore drilling for fossil fuels. Instead, almost two in three people in our county want local officials to be doing more to address the climate crisis. In this year, the 50th anniversary of the Santa Barbara oil spill, we must ask ourselves: Have we finally learned our lesson? While oil development has been a key feature of our region’s past, we envision a future in which our economy is focused on low-carbon development, increased energy efficiency, and a thriving renewableenergy industry that will support thousands of jobs. We know that climate change is real. We know that it is happening now. We know that we have to stop building new fossil-fuel extraction if we plan to solve this crisis. It’s time to keep fossil fuels in the ground and to build a 21st-century economy that meets everyone’s needs in a sustainable and fair way. If you agree with us, we urge you to reach out to the planning commissioners and your county supervisor before the hearings on March 13. While it’s easy to imagine that climate change is a global problem and that there’s little we can do to stop it, that’s not true. When we act decisively, we can produce positive impacts locally and globally. We have a great opportunity to do that next week. We hope you will join us. Leah C. Stokes is an assistant professor in environmental politics at UCSB; David Pellow is the Dehlsen chair and department chair of environmental studies at UCSB; Emily Williams is a PhD student in geography at UCSB and a member of 350 Santa Barbara.

HARVEY

or its winter production, the SBCC theater department is staging the beloved, time-honored play Harvey. Written by Mary Chase, the lively comedy premiered on Broadway in 1944 and garnered Chase the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1945. These days, the story is most likely best known thanks to the 1950 film starring Jimmy Stewart. The plot centers on Elwood P. Dowd, a mild sot who believes his best friend is a six-foot-plus rabbit named Harvey. He spends his time playing cards and drinking in Raymond Wellenthin the local bars, always with his best friend Harvey, who Elwood insists Ruth Kelly).

THE LARAMIE PROJECT

wo decades ago, the vicious murder of college student Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming, forced a festering boil of homophobia to the surface of the American consciousness. Shepard’s brutal slaying and the ensuing criminal trial was documented in a variety of media, including The Laramie Project, a theater piece that gives cultural context to the murder. Created by the Tectonic Theater Project, a New York–based theater company, The Laramie Project uses interviews with Laramie locals to Presented by UCSB explore how the Department of Theater community strugand Dance.

UCSB’s production of The Laramie Project, directed by Eric Jorgensen, is quietly complex. Bold colors and a clean set support focus on the performers, and, while everyone in the cast plays multiple characters, smooth character choreography eases the audience through transitions without awkwardness. It’s put together well, and the story is beautifully told. The talented cast exudes an authenticity & ENTERTAINMENT with the material that highlights the continuing impor-

tance of fighting for inclusion and empathy across social divides. UCSB’s production is poignant and deferential, but at almost three hours long, there are some dawdling moments. The first act is slowed by Tectonic’s overinsertion of themselves in the narrative as “characters.” The relationship between the two communities is crucial to the success of the project, but the story is about the people of Laramie, not about New Yorkers in Laramie. The pacing and intensity pick up speed as the play progresses, culminating in a bring-thehouse-down monologue in which Shepard’s father, Dennis (Jason Bowe), addresses his son’s killer at his sentencing. The Laramie Project is an important piece of theater that requires finesse from the performers, and the UCSB department of theater delivers. — Maggie Yates

THE MAGIC FLUTE

sing the stage at the New Vic as a blank canvas, the team responsible for Westmont’s production of The Magic Flute painted a vivid and memorable moving picture full of delightful details and striking images. Delivered in an accessible English translation, Mozart’s classic opera made a joyous and profound vehicle for the talented cast. The nonstop inventiveness of the show’s director, John Blondell, gained in excitement and resonance through tight integration with Yuri Okahana’s At the New Vic, amazing set, the impressive lightSun., Mar. 3. ing of designer Jonathan Hicks, and the raucous choreography of Victoria Finlayson. Among many excellent performances, a few stood out. John Butler consistently drew the night’s biggest laughs as the bumbling, fearful everyman Papageno. Michelle Vera delivered a pair of magnificent arias as the Queen of the Night, and Fitz Mora fully inhabited the central role of Prince Tamino. As Pamina, daughter of the Queen of the Night and Tamino’s beloved, Jessica Lingua gave the evening’s most layered performance, adding significant acting skills to complement her wonderful voice.

Although much of the material was played for laughs —Jared Huff was hilarious as an unruly, nearly feral Monostatos—through the staging and the majesty of the music, this production retained an edge of darkly speculative wonder. Without the timely interventions of the delightful Three Ladies — Nina Fox, Lillyana Huerta, and Alyssa Mae Tumlos—all kinds of mayhem would have taken place within the borders of the cultlike community ruled by Sarastro (Nate Sirovatka). The Westmont Theater program, with the invaluable collaboration of maestro Michael Shasberger and his musicians, has discovered a bright new vein of creative inquiry in these opera productions at the New Vic. Here’s hoping this fabulous and fun annual event becomes a tradition. — Charles Donelan ZACH MENDEZ

EUGENE ONEGIN

pera Santa Barbara’s Eugene Onegin brought a large and enthusiastic crowd to the Lobero Theatre on Friday, March 1, for a splendid evening featuring some of Tchaikovsky’s greatest music and a host of excellent performances. As Tatiana, the country girl who becomes a princess, Karin Wolverton wove a tapestry of gorgeous sounds, from childish naivete to a dawning sense of self-worth after passing through the crucible of Onegin’s rejection. She gave a particularly convincing account of Tatiana’s nightlong writing of a love letter. This substantial solo requires audiences to accept what amounts to a Presented by Opera Santa hybrid form, the epistolary Barbara.

As Onegin, Lee Poulis moved easily from the court and the dance floor to the dueling ground, where his “duel-et” with best-friend-become-rival Lenski (Elliott Deasy) was easily one of the highlights of the night. Special credit for the success of this Russian treasure should go to maestro Valéry Ryvkin and his orchestra. Eugene Onegin is packed with thrilling instrumental

BANFF MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL

ach October, folks from far and wide gather in Canada’s stunning mountain town of Banff for nine days of tantalizing cinema devoted to outdoor adventures. For those who can’t make it, it’s no worry, as select films are culled from the several hundred original entries to make up a slate that then tours the world. UCSB Arts & Lectures, which has brought the prestigious Banff Mountain Film Festival to Santa Barbarans for 28 years, hosted Presented by UCSB Arts & the popular tour for two Lectures. At The Arlington nights last week. Theatre, Wed., Feb. 27. As usual, the celluloid fare was dynamic, broad in subject matter, and exciting. On Wednesday, the night began with Far Out: Kai Jones, a delightful five-minute film about tween skiing sensation Kai Jones. At 12 years

old, the Idaho native is already turning heads with his masterful snow skills, which include backflips and three-story jumps off cliffs into waist-high powder. Another highlight of the evening was RJ Ripper, a 19-minute peek into the life of Nepalese mountain biker Rajesh Magar, who began his riding career through the streets of Kathmandu on a homemade bike and is now an international racer and National Geographic’s 2018 Adventurer of the Year. The evening’s slate also included Fast Horse, How to Run 100 Miles, Skier vs. Drone, Craig’s Reaction, Brotherhood of Skiing, and Reel Rock 12: Break on Through.

O Bohemian Rhapsody (134 mins., PG-13)

Telling the tale of a beloved rock-androll enigma, especially one so notoriously private, is a daunting task, but Bohemian Rhapsody tackles Freddie Mercury’s legendary story with flourish and fervor. Admittedly, the film adopts a convenient plot line ripe with meetcutes and oversimplifications of Mercury’s complex relationship with his family and background. It struggles the most in addressing the often-discussed queerness of Mercury’s life, at times teetering toward bi-erasure and a lessthan-delicate portrayal of AIDS. Rami Malek shines as the shy yet vivacious Queen frontman and is spellbindingly convincing during both Mercury’s loneliest hours and explosive moments on some of the world’s biggest stages. The rest of the casting deserves a grand tip of the hat as well. Bohemian Rhapsody,

for all its narrative flaws, is an earnest tribute to the iconic rock band, and remains a spectacle of sight and sound for music, Mercury, and movie fans alike. (JK) Fiesta 5

O Capernaum

(126 mins., NR)

Those who are extra-sensitive to tales of woe concerning children cast adrift will be pained watching the Lebanese film Capernaum (Chaos), about a tough but fragile 12-year-old (Zain al Rafeea, grim and determined until the final shot) and an Ethiopian toddler immigrant (Boluwatife Treasure Bankole— best toddler performance of the year). But anyone with an interest in bold, emotionally powered cinema and the pressing issues of poverty and refugee struggles through tender eyes shouldn’t miss Nadine Labaki’s important film, a nominee for the Foreign Film Oscar and Jury Prize winner at Cannes. Naturalism meets assured-narrative machinery and courtroom drama in the poignant, youth-driven tradition of Bicycle Thief and the fellow foreign-film Oscar nom Shoplifters. (JW)

Riviera (Sat., Mar. 9)

Everybody Knows (Todos lo saben) (133 mins., R) Penelope Cruz stars with her real-life husband Javier Bardem in this psychological thriller about a woman who returns to Spain from her home in Argentina to attend a wedding where long-buried secrets come into the open.

O Green Book

(130 mins., PG-13)

Green Book is an uncommonly welltold tale of bodyguard Tony Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) and classically trained pianist Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), thrown together on a concert tour through the Deep South in 1962. Dr. Donald Shirley was a child prodigy, Russian-trained, and imbued with a dignity that suffered under the shortening of his name to “Don” by his record label. The film’s greatest transformation comes from Mortensen, who put on 25 pounds before the film began and added another 20 while playing Tony Vallelonga, aka Tony Lip. His son Nick Vallelonga wrote the script, holding off until after Don Shirley had died, as requested. It’s a restraint that Green Book plays with so well that the usually blasé Santa Barbara film audience couldn’t help but erupt with applause at film’s end. (JY) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo Greta (98 mins., R) When Frances McCullen (Chloë Grace Moretz) finds a purse in New York City subway, she promptly returns it to its owner, Greta (Isabelle Huppert), a lonely piano teacher. Having just lost her mother, Frances grows close to Greta, but soon discovers the woman isn’t who she seems.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (106 mins., PG) It’s been five years since Duplo invaded Bricksburg, not yet a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Despite the dire circumstances, Emmet (Chris Pratt) remains irritatingly upbeat, unlike his friends. Disliking his plucky demeanor, Mayhem from Systar System kidnaps Emmet’s friends. A rescue mission ensues. Elizabeth Banks, Tiffany Haddish, and Will Arnett also star. Fairview/Fiesta 5 Isn’t It Romantic (88 mins., PG-13) Rebel Wilson stars in this comedy/ fantasy/satire about Natalie (Wilson), a woman who has never believed in the Hollywood rom-com fantasy. After being knocked unconscious, however, Natalie finds herself in her own cliché-filled romantic comedy and must eschew hackneyed situations to finally fall in love and be brought back to reality. Liam Hemsworth and Adam DeVine also star. Fiesta 5 Never Look Away (188 mins., R) Director Henckel von Donnersmarck, who dropped moviegoers into the paranoid landscape of East Berlin with his Oscar-winning 2006 film The Lives of Others, stirred controversy with his new film about another slice of German life, Never Look Away, loosely based on the life; times; and fascinating, mercurial work of Gerhard Richter. Richter, 87, a recluse considered one of our most

important living artists, was none too pleased. Opening with a “degenerate art” show in Dresden, circa 1937, and moving through Communist bloc life, studies with Joseph Beuys and his “blurpainting” breakthrough, the three-hour film feels tame and glossy compared to the challenges of Richter’s art over the decades. Still, it conveys a compelling, polished tale, a portrait of an artist who filtered troubled times into a suitably complex, blurry, layered aesthetic voice. Richter deserves better. (JW) Riviera

OSCAR® 2019 BEST FOREIGN FILM NOMINEES

“ABSORBING AND RUMINATIVE” – LOS ANGELES TIMES

(117 mins., PG)

Bradley Cooper marks his directing debut with an ode to the 1937 romantic melodrama A Star Is Born, famously remade in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason and again in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. Cooper plays famous countryrock musician Jackson Maine, whose drunken search for more alcohol leads him to a drag bar where he stumbles into Ally (Lady Gaga), an unknown singer who Jackson then mentors. Soon, Ally and Jackson enter into a romantic relationship that is often overshadowed by Jackson’s alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. As Ally takes on her selfdoubt and fear of performing in front of Jackson’s sold-out crowds, she makes sacrifices in her own burgeoning career for love and authenticity. Cooper and Lady Gaga depict the rawness and erosion of their relationship with aplomb. (JR) Fiesta 5 Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral (109 mins., PG-13) For the 11th Madea franchise film, matriarch Madea (Tyler Perry) and her family convene for a reunion that turns into a nightmare in the backwoods of Georgia when the get-together becomes an unexpected funeral gathering.

JOHN ZANT’S GAME OF THE WEEK

The senior pitcher gave up an unearned run in the first inning and shut down Dos Pueblos the rest of the way in a 3-1 win over the Chargers.

3/8: High School Baseball: Santa Barbara at San Marcos If both teams put their aces on the mound, Friday’s game shapes up as a pitchers’ duel between Derek True and Brent Hyman. Both right-handers recorded complete-game victories last week. True tossed a two-hit shutout as Santa Barbara defeated Lompoc, 4-0, and Hyman allowed four hits as San Marcos took down defending champion Dos Pueblos, 3-1. The Dons and Royals are both within the top three of the Channel League standings with the Chargers, with records of 2-1 and 2-2, respectively. 3:15pm. Joe Mueller Field, 4750 Hollister Ave. Free.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES

CANCER

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Genius inventor Thomas Edison rebelled

(June 21-July 22): The otters at a marine park in Miura

against sleep, which he regarded as wasteful. He tried to limit his time in bed to four hours per night so he would have more time to work during his waking hours. Genius scientist Albert Einstein had a different approach. He preferred 10 hours of sleep per night, and he liked to steal naps during the day, too. In my astrological opinion, Aries, you’re in a phase when it makes more sense to imitate Einstein than Edison. Important learning and transformation is happening in your dreams. Give your nightly adventures maximum opportunity to work their magic in your behalf.

City, Japan, are friendly to human visitors. There are holes in the glass walls of their enclosures through which they reach out to shake people’s hands with their webbed paws. I think you need experiences akin to that in the coming weeks. Your mental and spiritual health will thrive to the degree that you seek closer contact with animals. It’s a favorable time to nurture your instinctual intelligence and absorb influences from the natural world. For extra credit, tune in to and celebrate your own animal qualities.

LEO

(Apr. 20-May 20): The Danish flag has a red background

(July 23-Aug. 22): Between 1977 and 1992, civil war raged

in Mozambique. Combatants planted thousands of land mines that have remained dangerous long after the conflict ended. In recent years, a new ally has emerged in the quest to address the problem: rats that are trained to find the hidden explosives so that human colleagues can defuse them. The expert sniffers don’t weigh enough to detonate the mines, so they’re ideal to play the role of saviors. I foresee a metaphorically comparable development in your future, Leo. You’ll get help and support from a surprising or seemingly unlikely source.

(May 21-June 20): On June 7, 1988, Gemini musician Bob Dylan launched what has come to be known as the Never Ending Tour. It’s still going. In the past 30+ years, he has performed almost 3,000 shows on every continent except Antarctica. In 2018 alone, at the age of 77, he did 84 gigs. He’s living proof that not every Gemini is flaky and averse to commitment. Even if you yourself have flirted with flightiness in the past, I doubt you will do so in the next five weeks. On the contrary. I expect you’ll be a paragon of persistence, doggedness, and stamina.

SCORPIO a skill worth cultivating. It serves your urge to gather and manage power. You’re aware that information is a valuable commodity, so you guard it carefully and share it sparingly. This predilection sometimes makes you seem understated, even shy. Your hesitancy to express too much of your knowledge and feelings may influence people to underestimate the intensity that seethes within you. Having said all that, I’ll now predict that you’ll show the world who you are with more dazzle and flamboyance in the coming weeks. It’ll be interesting to see how you do that as you also try to heed your rule that information is power.

SAGITTARIUS

GEMINI

erature are entertaining. According to one survey of editors, writers, and librarians, Goethe’s Faust, Melville’s Moby Dick, and Cervantes’s Don Quixote are among the most boring masterpieces ever written. But most experts agree that they’re still valuable to read. In that spirit, and in accordance with astrological omens, I urge you to commune with other dull but meaningful things. Seek out low-key but rich offerings. Be aware that unexciting people and situations may offer clues and catalysts that you need.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many of you Scorpios regard secrecy as

TAURUS emblazoned with an asymmetrical white cross. It was a national symbol of power as early as the 14th century and may have first emerged during a critical military struggle that established the Danish empire in 1219. No other country in the world has a flag with such an ancient origin. But if Denmark’s Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who’s a Taurus, came to me and asked me for advice, I would urge him to break with custom and design a new flag—maybe something with a spiral rainbow or a psychedelic tree. I’ll suggest an even more expansive idea to you, Taurus: Create fresh traditions in every area of your life!

WEEK OF MARCH 7

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Imagine a stairway that leads nowhere;

as you ascend, you realize that at the top is not a door or a hallway, but a wall. I suspect that lately you may have been dealing with a metaphorical version of an anomaly like this. But I also predict that in the coming weeks, some magic will transpire that will change everything. It’s like you’ll find a button on the wall that when pushed opens a previously imperceptible door. Somehow, you’ll gain entrance through an apparent obstruction.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Not all of the classic works of great lit-

HOMEWORK: Think of the last person you cursed, if only with a hateful thought if not an actual spell. Now send them a free-hearted blessing.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian actress and producer Deborra-

Lee Furness has been married to megastar actor Hugh Jackman for 23 years. Their wedding rings are inscribed with a motto that blends Sanskrit and English, “Om paramar mainamar.” Hugh and Deborra-Lee say it means “we dedicate our union to a greater source.” In resonance with current astrological omens, I invite you to engage in a similar gesture with an important person in your life. Now is a marvelous time to deepen and sanctify your relationship by pledging yourselves to a higher purpose or beautiful collaboration or sublime mutual quest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1997, a supercomputer named Deep Blue won six chess matches against chess grandmaster

Gary Kasparov. In 2016, an Artificial Intelligence called AlphaGo squared off against human champion Lee Sedol in a best-of-five series of the Chinese board game Go. AlphaGo crushed Sedol, four games to one. But there is at least one cerebral game in which human intelligence still reigns supreme: the card game known as bridge. No AI has as yet beat the best bridge players. I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because I am sure that in the coming weeks, no AI could outthink and out-strategize you as you navigate your way through life’s tests and challenges. You’ll be smarter than ever. P.S.: I’m guessing your acumen will be extra soulful, as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): At regular intervals, a hot stream of boiling water shoots up out of the earth and into the sky in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. It’s a geyser called Old Faithful. The steamy surge can reach a height of 185 feet and last for five minutes. When white settlers first discovered this natural phenomenon in the 19th century, some of them used it as a laundry. Between blasts, they’d place their dirty clothes in Old Faithful’s aperture. When the scalding flare erupted, it provided all the necessary cleansing. I’d love to see you attempt a metaphorically similar feat, Aquarius: Harness a natural force for a practical purpose, or a primal power for an earthy task.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Who was the model for Leonardo da

Vinci’s iconic painting “Mona Lisa”? Many scholars think it was Italian noblewoman Lisa del Giocondo. Leonardo wanted her to feel comfortable during the long hours she sat for him, so he hired musicians to play for her and people with mellifluous voices to read her stories. He built a musical fountain for her to gaze upon and gave her a white Persian cat to cuddle. If it were within my power, I would arrange something similar for you in the coming weeks. Why? Because I’d love to see you be calmed and soothed for a concentrated period of time, to feel perfectly at ease, at home in the world, surrounded by beautiful influences you love. In my opinion, you need and deserve such a break from the everyday frenzy.

LEGALS ADMINISTER OF ESTATE NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: RUTH P. BERNHARDT aka RUTH BERNHARDT Case No.: 19PR00051 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both of RUTH P. BERNHARDT aka RUTH BERNHARDT A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by: PETER BERNHARDT in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Barbara THE PETITION for probate requests that: PETER BERNHARDT be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. THE PETITION requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The Independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 03/21/2019 AT 9:00 a.m. Dept: 5 SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA BARBARA, 1100 Anacapa Street, P.O Box 21107 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 Anacapa Division. IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general

personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250. A Request for Special notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Steven F.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING City Council March 19, 2019; 6:00 p.m.

Ellwood Mesa Monarch Butterfly Habitat Management Plan-MND Adoption NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Goleta City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider Resolutions adopting the Ellwood Mesa Monarch Butterfly Habitat Management Plan (MBHMP) and the associated Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. The date, time, and location of the public hearing are set forth below. The agenda for the hearing will also be posted on the City website (https://tinyurl.com/GoletaMeetings). HEARING DATE AND TIME: PLACE:

Tuesday, March 19, 2019, at 6:00 P.M. City of Goleta, Council Chambers 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, California 93117

PROJECT LOCATION: The Coverage Area for the MBHMP is located within the City-owned Ellwood Mesa Open Space, a regional open space. The entire Coverage Area is within the Coastal Zone. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The MBHMP outlines the programmatic approach and methods for the City to manage and improve the Ellwood Mesa eucalyptus forest for the benefit of the overwintering behavior of the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), other wildlife, and the public’s use and enjoyment. Two key local policy documents drive the protection of the monarch butterfly: the Goleta General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan and the Ellwood-Devereux Coast Open Space/Habitat Management Plan. The MBHMP entails 22 programs integrating diverse aspects of habitat management. Each specific program identifies goals, policies, and actions to establish an efficient process leading to a management strategy for the sustainability of monarch habitat at Ellwood. The programs are followed by implementation priorities, schedules, needs, and contacts for those responsible for implementation. The 22 programs are organized into four categories as follows: • 9 Administrative Programs are designed to assist the City with and inform the MBHMP stakeholders of the details regarding implementation. • 7 Natural Resources Management Programs articulate the goals, policies, and actions necessary to maintain and improve key natural resources, including biological diversity and ecosystem functions associated with Ellwood eucalyptus groves and the monarch butterfly aggregation sites they support. • 3 Outreach Programs will provide information for visitors, educators, and students to develop appreciation for natural resources and local natural heritage, with a focus on monarchs. • 3 Monitoring, Research, and Adaptive Management Programs provide a mechanism for assessing environmental conditions and conducting studies to help understand the ecology of monarchs at Ellwood. Information obtained from these programs will inform MBHMP updates. Funding for implementation of the MBHMP will be drawn from a variety of sources, which may include grants, donations, mitigation fees, and City funds. The California state budget for the 2018–2019 fiscal year allocated 3.9 million dollars to the City for management and restoration of the monarch butterfly habitats on Ellwood Mesa. Environmental Review: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), City staff drafted an Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the project. The IS/MND identified mitigation measures to reduce all impacts to less than significant levels and did not identify any residually significant impacts. DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: The staff report may be obtained at the City of Goleta, 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B, Goleta, CA 93117. The documents will be posted on the City’s web site at www.cityofgoleta.org at least 72 hours ahead of the meeting.

Written submittals concerning agenda items may be sent to the City Clerk e-mail: dlopez@cityofgoleta.org; or mail: Attn: City Council and City Clerk at 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, California 93117.
