Affordable Housing Proposal Rejected

proposal to require that developers seeking approval for high-density rental housing projects rent up to 10 percent of their units at below-market rates —affordable to middle-income earners— went nowhere fast at City of Santa Barbara’s Planning Commission last Thursday. The commissioners rejected what’s known as the “inclusionary housing requirement” by a vote of 6-1. The commissioners found fault with a consultant’s report that indicated such requirements would be financially feasible and that developers would still be able to reap earnings of 5 percent. Developers and their agents said the report failed to accurately reflect the cost of construction, the cost of labor, the cost of land, and the cost of permitting. The inclusionary requirement was proposed to ensure that the benefits of developments allowed special high densities and 10

relaxed parking requirements would accrue to a broader socioeconomic spectrum including the so-called “missing middle.” Typically such developments, known as Average Unit-Size Density developments— AUDs — in the parlance of planning wonks, have targeted higher-income tenants making up the city’s upper middle class. Developers have complained such requirements would not be economically feasible. Some planning commissioners worry the requirement was in reality a political Trojan horse concocted by critics of the AUD program to cripple it. The commissioners demanded new and better information that better reflected the costs of doing business in Santa Barbara. They also objected that discussions about inclusionary housing requirements should be part of a broader discussion about getting more high-density housing built downtown. —Nick Welsh

WATERLOGGED: Multiple Pini properties were affected by flooding.

Pini Tenants Face Eviction After Flooding Toxic Mold Growth Sends 40 People to Motel Housing by Jean Yamamura unlight streamed into Judge Colleen Sterne’s courtroom as attorneys gathered for convicted slumlord Dario Pini’s monthly compliance report, a stark contrast to the early-morning downpours of February 2 that flooded two of Pini’s properties. Five of his units on West Valerio and three at West Cota developed serious mold. Wet-couch-stuck-to-thewall mold, said the court-ordered property manager. When the mold tested toxic, the manager, Nancy Daniels, moved about 40 tenants to Motel 6 at a cost of roughly $4,000 per day. It may be late March before the walls are repaired; the moldy drywall has already been removed. Motel bills and ripping out drywall cost $283,000. Putting the walls back will cost even more. Ever since Judge Colleen Sterne assigned William Hoffman the responsibility for upgrading eight of Dario Pini’s properties to code standards—and collecting the rents on them—an aggrieved Pini and his dogged attorney Paul Burns have counted the pennies being spent. Burns frequently complains Hoffman has “burned through” the $1.5 million or so Pini has had to hand over in rent, and of Hoffman’s fee and costs that Pini must pay. But the nearly $300,000 price tag shocked even the court. Sterne alternately praised Hoffman’s team for swiftly rehousing the tenants and berated them for not telling anyone until a month had passed. When the properties ran out of cash, Hoffman put it on his corporate credit card. Hoffman is squarely in the middle of an epic 25-year battle between the City of Santa Barbara and Dario Pini, who owns more than 95 properties in the city. Pini has succeeded in outmaneuvering the city and its inspectors for decades, an agility perceptible at the receiver hearings since last spring. City Attorney Ariel Calonne had succeeded last April in getting Hoffman appointed to handle the worst properties, after a protracted trial presided over by Judge Sterne. She determined the abject condition of the properties posed a significant health threat. A receivership like this one, imposed for Health & Safety Code reasons, means tenants get relocation benefits.

Hoffman, a 40-year veteran in the field, is accustomed to evicting tenants when extensive repairs mean an apartment must be emptied. It’s clear that Hoffman has been feeling his way through the new relocation practice. In court on Friday, arguments ensued over relocation costs: Who was a tenant versus a casual lodger under the Health & Safety language? Should tenants get a 60-day eviction? Or was that neither just nor fair? Ultimately, Judge Sterne ordered Daniels to compile by next Friday a tenant report to determine who could receive relocation compensation. She similarly ordered Daniels to inform the tenants on this Friday that they could not continue to live at Motel 6 and to start making plans for other housing. Sterne stated, “We cannot put the receivership estate in charge of finding housing for all the tenants and send all the properties into the red with tenant issues.” Six other properties are in the receivership, and Daniels, who has handled many for Hoffman, said more than once that the city’s permit process was unduly complicated. She’d had three meetings with the city on the Mission Street property, the first to undergo reconstruction; only recently had she learned that full architectural drawings were needed. Pini has always objected that a receiver from San Diego was appointed, and this was an “I told you so” moment for Burns. The warring sides struggled through the other five properties; the sunlight left the courtroom as noon approached. On Los Aguajes, the construction bid is almost final, which prompted Burns to protest that only one bid was made and the same builder was being used on three properties. Matthew Moriarity, attorney for lender U.S. Bank, jumped in, tired of being quiet, saying this had “worn on so long.” The lender was ready to pay the contractor if Pini wouldn’t. “He shouldn’t be able to stop the receiver’s progress every step of the way,” Moriarity said. Sterne told Hoffman to get multiple bids, including from Pini’s suggested contractors. It was a matter of good faith to try, she said, though she couldn’t stifle a rueful laugh as she said it. n

HAPPY HOUR

just got a whole lot happier!

fter years of buying great grapes from others

to make his wines, Doug Margerum signed a long-term lease at Honea Vineyard a couple of years ago so that he could better create his own estate wines. Honea had long been planted to Italian varietals—mostly providing the backbone for Palmina’s production—but Margerum grafted his favorite Rhône grapes onto those vines instead. Now it’s finally time to taste the first results from this prized, hilly site on Alamo Pintado in the Los Olivos District AVA. Based on this powerhouse 2017 Syrah, Margerum certainly chose his site wisely. Serious juice, its inky pour hints at the bright, bursting fruit of blueberry and blackberry. Yet there’s not a hint of flab on this well-structured, mouth-filling delight. You’ll want to drink it now, but hang on to a few, as it’s sure to age gorgeously. You’d want to call it an “über” syrah if Margerum didn’t already make one of those, too. See margerumwines.com — George Yatchisin

Written by Santa Barbara– based author Avalon Jenkins and illustrated by her wife, Genevieve Mahoney, the lovingly hand-drawn story is the first in a series based on Jenkins’s true-life experiences of her days raising her family in a motor home on a homeless encampment.

THE DEATH OF KINGS:

SEIZE THE CROWN

William Shakespeare wrote eight extraordinary history plays that contain some of his most memorable characters and some of his greatest poetry. In 2016, UCSB theater professor Irwin Appel unleashed an epic two-part adaptation of these plays called The Death of Kings that managed to cover the entire story in just six hours. The production, which ran for several weeks at UCSB’s Hatlen Theater, brought together a dream team of actors, designers, and musicians to create an unforgettable experience for those who were lucky enough to see it. This Saturday, March 16, at 8 p.m, and Sunday, March 17 at 2 p.m, The Death of Kings returns to UCSB, only this time you won’t need to cancel the rest of your weekend plans to see it. A new, 90-minute version called Seize the Crown, which Appel created for the 2017 Prague Shakespeare Company’s Summer Intensive, has been chosen for inclusion in the 2019 season of Shakespeare Southwest in Scottsdale. As a warmup for those performances, the cast will provide these two shows free of charge to the public in UCSB’s Theater Dance West Studio 1507. Get there early if you want to find a seat — these amazing productions are often very popular. —Charles Donelan

UNEASY LIES THE HEAD: A 90-minute version of Irwin Appel’s The Death of Kings comes to UCSB this weekend.

Amadeus S.B. SYMPHONY PRESENTS

AMADEUS LIVE

For pianist Natasha Kislenko, the 1984 film Amadeus is a distant memory that’s about to become a very immediate challenge. “Honestly, I haven’t seen it since it came out,” Kislenko told me, adding that she remembers “enjoying the Hollywood style, but being a little uncomfortable with the inaccuracies.” Based on the Peter Shaffer play, Amadeus does in fact play up the silly side of Mozart’s personality, as well as exaggerating the envy of his rival Salieri in order to achieve a more dramatic effect, yet the dazzling miseen-scène remains a potent reminder of the ability of motion pictures to create alternate worlds. When the Santa Barbara Symphony takes the stage this Saturday and Sunday, March 16 and 17, they will do so with Kislenko at the keyboard and a full chorus, all of them ready to play along with a giant 4K projection of the film. Through the generosity of the Chrisman family, the Granada is one of the few theaters in the world that is properly set up to achieve this level of musical/ cinematic synchronization, and so far at least, audiences are finding they enjoy it. Any reservations about the veracity of the film quickly vanish when my conversation with Kislenko turns to Mozart’s music. “He’s perfect in every way,” she said. “Mozart is by far the hardest composer to perform because the ordinary rules of interpretation don’t apply with him. Every note is like gold, or diamonds; nothing is questionable, so you have to play it exactly right.” Asked about the film’s depiction of the Salieri-Mozart rivalry, she admits that envy is not unknown in the music world. “It’s true, there is jealousy, as there is in every field,” she said. “There are always people who advance who shouldn’t, and there are always going to be those who, like Mozart, seem to find it easy to do things that others find difficult.” Here’s hoping that the ease of Amadeus rubs off on everyone who attends either of these special concert events this weekend.

SOUNDS OF SAINT PAT’S: ‘Tis the season to raise a dram to the fabled Saint Patrick of Ireland, and local venues are rolling out the traditional musical best in celebration. With hills radiantly green from recent rains, it’ll be hard not to feel inspired to celebrate all things shamrocking. At Dargan’s (18 E. Ortega St.), Dannsair will liven things up in Irish style, playing a full day of traditionals and contemporary compositions. Last year, the band released Celtic Meditations, a peaceful set of songs meant for relaxation; this event is likely to be quite a bit more enlivening. Over at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.), Spencer & The Worried Lads host their Annual St. Patty’s Bash, beginning at 5:30 p.m. A marker of the seasons himself, Spencer (of Spencer the Gardener) continues his role as maestro for many a Santa Barbara celebration. With his band The Worried Lads, the trio combines a self-described mix of Irish, pirate, and Tex-Mex sounds. The event is all ages, and kids under 11 get in free. ALL THAT GLITTERS IS FISH: Start the festivities early with Goleta’s Glitter Fish on Thursday, March 14, at 7 p.m. at Velvet Jones (423 State St.). The band plays psychedelic rock pleasingly awash in reverb and phasers. Often seen pictured in a dreamily verdant Ellwood forest, the band evokes psychedelic reveries winding through the sunny bluffs. Supporting acts The Advocates and Modern Genre have started making names for themselves locally as rising indie-rock and pop acts. GENE ON THE SCENE: Joshua Tree’s Gene Evaro Jr. is back in town on Saturday, March 16, at SOhO, this time with support from S.L.O.’s Próxima Parada and Lily Waters. Word on the State Street is that Evaro Jr. and company kicked up a great show last time they came by in October with their funky-fresh high desert melodies.

Próxima Parada, meanwhile, have earned millions of listens across the globe for their wonderful take on contemporary soul. Fans of Leon Bridges would likely enjoy the sound of this excellent Central Coast band. Lily Waters, from L.A., will open the night with stomping indie rock, starting at 8 p.m. GOIN’ GUTHRIE: In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the film Alice’s Restaurant and Woodstock — and a half-century of flower power ever since—Arlo Guthrie is bringing a multi-media experience to Lobero Theatre (33 E. Canon Perdido) on Tuesday, March 19, at 8 p.m. Joining Guthrie will be a few musical friends and family, including kindred performers Sarah Lee Guthrie and Abe Guthrie, plus Terry A La Berry, and Steve and Carol Ide. The folk singer has inspired generations of singers with his storytelling and enduring messages of peace and love. The ’60s may have been a while back, but the doves are still flying strong. HEAD OF THE HEADLESS: S.B.’s jazz fusion band par excellence, Headless Household, plays SOhO on Wednesday, March 20, at 7:30 p.m. Describing itself as “hopelessly eclectic,” the band will mark the 25th anniversary of its debut album, Inside/Outside USA. Released in 1987, the album marked the beginning of a long and unique musical journey through genres and modalities. Here’s to honoring musical eclecticism and eccentrism in all its joys. COSMIC COUNTRY: Promising to play “the dusty country classics of your dreams,” Chris Robinson’s Green Leaf Rustlers invite you to take a trip down their country-rock roads at SOhO on Friday, March 22, at 9 p.m. With jams aplenty, plan to kick up your boots in most happy fashion. Expect the band to hit all kinds of high notes, if you catch my drift.

he Kid inhabits a world of pariahs, all men, all convicted sex offenders, and like his fellow occupants of the concrete island under the Causeway, the Kid wears an ankle bracelet that monitors his movements. He can’t live near a school or daycare facility or use the internet. No landlord will rent to him, and even if one did, the Kid doesn’t have money; he got sacked from his job as a busboy. Russell Banks deserves his reputation as one of our finest storytellers. His novels and short stories usually revolve around characters who occupy the drab outskirts of society. In Lost Mem-ory of Skin, the characters live in the shadows.

school and a calamitous stint in the army. Degradation and failure are the Kid’s second nature, reinforced by a neglectful mother and too many hours holed up in his bedroom watching porn on the internet. The central irony of the Kid’s forlorn life is that when he was arrested for soliciting sex from a minor he met online, he had never kissed a girl, let alone had sex with one. The Professor is a prisoner of a different sort. A brilliant polymath trapped in a morbidly obese body, he’s as much a misfit as the Kid. As he always does, Banks gets to the human humanity at the core of these flawed, kindred characters, slipping the reader inside their skin; we see and feel what they see and feel. The Kid becomes the one person the Professor trusts, while the Professor helps the Kid see himself in a different light, not as a terminally bad, irredeemable person, but as an inherently decent one who did a bad thing. —Brian Tanguay

hen I Get Home, Solange’s follow-up to her 2016 critically acclaimed A Seat at the Table, is an ode to her hometown of Houston, Texas. Its neo-soul style has a refined aural beauty — thanks to the minimalist recording approach — that allows the singer’s delicate harmonies to shine. On the nostalgic, celestial track “Dreams,” Solange recalls her youth, singing, “I grew up a little girl with dreams, dreams, dreams.” Interludes and instrumental breaks

smooth transitions between narratives about self-empowerment and iden identity politics. The Pharrell-produced “Almeda” showcases the surprising compatibility between rapper Playboi Carti’s adlibs and Solange’s ethereal vocals. Although When I Get Home transports the listener to a heavenly soundscape, it doesn’t have the same magnitude of metaphorical lyricism or personal revelations that its ambitious predecessor offered. — Jasmine Rodriguez

GARY CLARK JR.

ince the release of his first album, Blak and Blu, in 2012, Gary Clark Jr. has been championed as a savior of the blues. But blues is a rigid genre of just three chords and 12 bars; Clark, who as a teen idolized Boyz II Men as much as Hendrix, was never meant to just stick to blues. The singer’s latest release, This Land,, is his biggest genre leap, pairing his most substantive lyrics yet with an eclectic mix of sounds ranging from rock to hip-hop. The album’s title track, “This Land,” exemplifies Clark’s sophistication. Over heavy electronic synth and angry guitar bends, Clark responds to living in Texas as a black person. The song references an incident in which a neighbor approached Clark at his comfortable new home and refused to believe that the property could be his. “Paranoid and pissed off now that I got the

money,” Clark sings. “Fifty acres and a Model A right in the middle of Trump country.” On tracks such as “What About Us,” “Pearl Cadil Cadillac,” and “When I’m Gone,” Clark continues to seamlessly blend styles with compelling tales about hostile country communities, fatherhood, and love. The album does get confused at times, how however, like the oddly rocked-out reg reggae swing in “Feelin’ like a Million.” Thankfully, though, he graces each song with his signature fierce guitar licks, which are as tumultuous as they are melodic. Steadily breaking out of the blues mold and growing as a lyricist, Clark shows that a combo of vocals and lead guitar can still create a fresh new sound. Clark plays the Santa Barbara Bowl on September 27. — Daniel Carroll

Can we really have our meat and eat it too? The consumption of meat by early humans has been argued to be a key factor in helping humans evolve to become who we are today. At a time when environmental pressures are at their highest and the environmental footprint of animal protein production is significant, how might we continue to include protein in our diets and meet our needs without putting the health of the environment at greater risk?

O Green Book

(130 mins., PG-13)

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

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 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.

Kenya, where it never snows except on the very top of Mount Kenya. Yet he represented his country in the cross-country skiing events at the Winter Olympics in 2002 and 2006. How did he do it? He trained up north in snowy Finland. Meanwhile, Kwame NkrumahAcheampong competed for Ghana in the slalom in the 2010 Winter Olympics. Since there was no snow in his homeland, he practiced his skills in the French Alps. These two are your role models for the coming months, Cancerian. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’ll have the potential to achieve success in tasks and activities that may not seem like a natural fit.

acquire a flamethrower. It would come in handy if you felt the urge to go to a beach and incinerate mementoes from an ex-ally. It would also be useful if you wanted to burn stuff that reminds you of who you used to be and don’t want to be anymore, or if you got in the mood to set ablaze symbols of questionable ideas you used to believe in but can’t afford to believe in anymore. If you don’t want to spend $1,600+ on a flamethrower, just close your eyes for 10 minutes and visualize yourself performing acts of creative destruction like those I mentioned.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Taurus aphorist Olivia Dresher writes that

she would like to be “a force of nature,” but “not causing any suffering.” The way I interpret her longing is that she wants to be wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure —all the while without inflicting any hurt or damage on herself or anyone else. In accordance with your astrological omens, Taurus, that’s a state I encourage you to embody in the coming weeks. If you’re feeling extra smart—which I suspect you will—you could go even further. You may be able to heal yourself and others with your wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure energy.

(May 21-June 20): In some major cities, the buttons you push at a crosswalk don’t actually work to make the traffic light turn green faster. The same is true about the “Close Door” buttons in many elevators. Pushing them doesn’t have any effect on the door. Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer says these buttons are like placebos that give you “the illusion of control.” I bring this phenomenon to your attention, Gemini, in hope of inspiring you to scout around for comparable things in your life. Is there any situation where you imagine you have power or influence, but probably don’t? If so, now is an excellent time to find out—and remedy that problem.

Eric Lawes used his metal detector to look for a hammer that his farmer friend had lost in a field. Instead of the hammer, he found the unexpected: a buried box containing 15,234 old Roman silver and gold coins worth more than $4 million today. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I suspect that you, too, will soon discover something different from what you’re searching for. Like the treasure Lawes located, it might even be more valuable than what you thought you wanted.

HOMEWORK: Upon waking up for the next seven mornings, sing a song that fills you with feisty, glorious hope.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): For many of us, smell is our most

neglected sense. We see, hear, taste, and feel with vividness and eagerness, but we allow our olfactory powers to go underused. In accordance with astrological omens, I hope you will compensate for that dearth in the coming weeks. There is subtle information you can obtain — and in my opinion, need quite strongly — that will come your way only with the help of your nose. Trust the guidance provided by scent.

AQUARIUS

LEO The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, director David Fincher considered selecting A-list actress Scarlett Johansson to play the heroine. But ultimately, he decided she was too sexy and radiant. He wanted a pale, thin, tougher-looking actress, whom he found in Rooney Mara. I suspect that in a somewhat similar way, you may be perceived as being too much something for a role you would actually perform quite well. But in my astrological opinion, you’re not at all too much. In fact, you’re just right. Is there anything you can do — with full integrity — to adjust how people see you and understand you without diluting your brightness and strength?

as the role of the lover,” wrote author James Baldwin. “If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” To fully endorse that statement, I’d need to add two adverbs. My version would be, “The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to kindly and compassionately make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I recommend that you Libras enthusiastically adopt that mission during the coming weeks. With tenderness and care, help those you care about to become aware of what they’ve been missing — and ask for the same from them toward you.

ancestors were able to get some of the food they needed through a practice known as persistence hunting. They usually couldn’t run as fast as the animals they chased. But they had a distinct advantage: They could keep moving relentlessly until their prey grew exhausted. In part, that’s because they had far less hair than the animals, and thus could cool off better. I propose that we adopt this theme as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks and months. You won’t need to be extra fast or super ferocious or impossibly clever to get what you want. All you have to do is be persistent and dogged and disciplined.

Native American woman of the Mohegan tribe. According to her description of Mohegan naming traditions, and reported by author Elisabeth Pearson Waugaman, “Children receive names that are descriptive. They may be given new names at adolescence, and again as they go through life according to what their life experiences and accomplishments are.” She concludes that names “change as the individual changes.” If you have been thinking about transforming the way you express and present yourself, you might want to consider such a

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Essayist Nassim Nicholas Taleb says

humans come in three types: fragile, robust, or antifragile. Those who are fragile work hard to shield themselves from life’s messiness. The downside? They are deprived of experiences that might spur them to grow smarter. As for robust people, Taleb believes they are firm in the face of messiness. They remain who they are even when they’re disrupted. The potential problem? They may be too strong to surrender to necessary transformations. If you’re the third type, antifragile, you engage with the messiness and use it as motivation to become more creative and resilient. The downside? None. In accordance with the astrological omens, Aquarius, I urge you to adopt the antifragile approach in the coming weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In 2014, NASA managed to place its

MAVEN spacecraft into orbit around Mars. The cost of the mission was $671 million. Soon thereafter, the Indian government put its own vehicle, the Mangalyaan, into orbit around the Red Planet. It spent $74 million. As you plan your own big project, Pisces, I recommend you emulate the Mangalyaan rather than the MAVEN. I suspect you can do great things — maybe even your personal equivalent of sending a spacecraft to Mars — on a relatively modest budget.

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.
