YES ON MEASURE D santa BarBara MariJuana controL act Safety | LeaderShip | acceSS LocaL controL, LocaL BeneFits The City of Santa Barbara is one of the only jurisdictions in the tri-counties that currently allows storefront medical marijuana dispensaries to operate. It’s important that patients can access medicinal cannabis safely, knowing that the product abides by current state and local laws.

Yes on Measure D Helene schneider, Mayor Jason Dominguez, City Councilmember Frank Hotchkiss, City Councilmember randy rowse, City Councilmember Bendy white, City Councilmember

Measure D is a pro-active and pragmatic measure to make sure medical marijuana patients can legally and safely obtain cannabis for their needs. Measure D is a local business tax comparable to those on cigarettes and hard alcohol. Measure D funds cannot be taken by lawmakers in Sacramento or Washington DC and will only be used directly within the City of Santa Barbara.

Dave cash, Retired Santa Barbara Unified School District Superintendent Joyce Dudley, Santa Barbara District Attorney Leslie wiscomb, Parks & Recreation Commissioner Kate Parker, Santa Barbara Unified School Board

On November 8th, all California voters will decide if Proposition 64—the Adult Use of Marijuana Act—becomes law. Regardless of your personal opinion of Proposition 64, it’s prudent for cities to have local control in ensuring public health and safety of their residents. The City of Santa Barbara will be the responsible agency to ensure that the new law—if passed—is safely implemented locally, through its public safety and code enforcement departments, as well as working with other partners to protect minors from access and exposure.

Trustee ed stonefelt, Council on Alcoholism & Drug Abuse Executive Director

Measure D wiLL: • Enhance local control to help the City enforce local and state laws. • Provide essential resources in case Prop 64—the statewide measure to legalize adult cannabis use—passes into law.

PHOtO OF THe WEEK

news Briefs LAW & DISORDER A spike in what authorities are calling “virtual kidnapping” extortion phone calls in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties has occurred recently, according to the S.B. County Sheriff’s Office. These often sophisticated hoaxes are typically perpetrated by callers outside the country, demanding an immediate wire transfer to ransom a kidnapped family member. According to the FBI, people on the receiving end of such calls should hang up immediately, locate their family members, and call law enforcement, in that order. Three campers were evacuated from Santa Rosa Island and the national park closed to the public for safety reasons after rangers found 44 bundles of marijuana weighing close to 3,000 pounds on 10/25. About 73 hikers and campers scheduled for weekend visits were affected by the closure. The island reopened on 11/2 after federal and local law enforcement searched unsuccessfully by air and land for smugglers. Contraband activity resumed recently, with a panga boat found on the Gaviota coast on 10/23, since the last boat discoveries in January and March.

tHE WHAcKY DONALD tRUMP: “Some of the kids say, ‘I want Mickey Mouse!’” said Sandra Hernandez, who owns the party supply store Ashley’s Dollar. “And their mom says, ‘No, look, they have Donald Trump. We can hit that one.’” As Election Day approaches, Donald Trump piñata sales are rising, according to Santa Barbara store owners. The Milpas Street store is purportedly one of two places in town selling the orange-haired, open-mouthed papier mâché dolls for about $20. The other is Party Time Supplies on De la Vina Street, pictured here. Demetrio Mendoza, who owns Party Time Supplies with his sister, was initially apprehensive about carrying the Trump piñatas, which sell for $38. “We don’t do anything to make people feel bad,” he said, “but obviously we try to have whatever people are asking for. People were asking a lot for Donald Trump.””” — Kelsey Brugger

SupeS Reject Oil pROject

ORDINANcE ORDEAL: Winemaker Clarissa Nagy approaches the supes to speak against the proposed winery ordinance.

Pacific Coast Energy Company’s Orcutt Hill Project Halted

by Kelsey Brugger n a divided decision, the county supervisors denied a proposal by Pacific Coast Energy Company (PCEC) to nearly double its existing cyclic steaming operations on Orcutt Hill. The decision, strongly opposed by North County supervisors Peter Adam and Steve Lavagnino, does not bode well for pending oil-well-drilling applications, all bigger in size and scope. In its first iteration, PCEC’s project consisted of 96 cyclic steam injection wells—and 48 replacement wells—at the existing oil and gas field. In an attempt to mitigate oil seepage, they offered to drill in areas outside of the Careaga tar zone. Earlier this year, the Planning Commission denied the project, finding its environmental impacts outweighed the economic benefits. Just before the company appealed the decision to the Board of Supervisors, it offered additional environmental perks including dropping to as low as 60 percent production, offsetting 100 percent of the project’s green-

house-gas emissions, funding a $125,000 study of the Lompoc yerba santa, and implementing efforts to preserve the California tiger salamander. But environmentalists argued PCEC has hardly been a responsible operator. Since 2010, the company has experienced 23 “petroleum releases,” spilling nearly 13,000 gallons, according to county records. Since the company started drilling in 2007, seeps have increased in frequency. PCEC does not dispute this phenomenon, but the company argues that the longtime oil and gas field carries an extensive seepage history. If a good place to drill oil exists in Santa Barbara, they say, this is it. Randy Breitenbach, the company’s CEO, estimated the project would provide county coffers with $1.8 million annually. He argued PCEC is one of the county’s biggest property taxpayers, paying about $3.7 million each year in the recent past. His economics argument was brought to life by a number of oil company employees, who said the industry

provides some of the only well-paying skilled jobs in the county. In addition, the project would create new union construction jobs, which opponents dismissed as mostly frivolous considering their temporary nature. Likewise, attorneys with the Environmental Defense Center stressed oil revenues make up less than one percent of the county’s property tax proceeds. In some ways, Tuesday served as a shift from two years ago, when voters shot down the proposed ban on fracking and other unconventional oil drilling known as Measure P. Despite that defeat, proponents have since seen successes. Last May, the county supervisors implemented the state’s most stringent carbon emissions level — 1,000 metric tons per project. This project was the first to go before the board since Santa Maria Energy obtained permits to drill in 2013. Supervisor Lavagnino called that project and this one “night and day.” The former required new steam generators and new well pads, potentially disturbed

The impassioned pleas of more than 60 vintners, grape growers, and others employed by the Santa Barbara County wine industry who spoke out against the proposed winery ordinance clearly moved the Board of Supervisors on 11/1, when they all appeared reluctant to pass anything alleged to be so damaging to the industry. After more than three hours of discussion, the supervisors voted to further consider the new set of rules at a special meeting on 11/ 22, when they will review a very specific analysis of the ordinance from the Santa Barbara County Vintners’ Association and consider forming a task force, if needed, to implement changes. A rare thunder and lightning show before dawn on 10/28 produced the first decent rain of the season, followed by occasionally torrential showers that drenched the plants and streets of the Central Coast through Halloween morning. Close to two inches fell in higher elevations of North County and as little as a half-inch at South County coastal areas. The rain gauge at Lake Cachuma registered

tiger salamander habitats, and limited its carbon emissions to merely 10,000 metric tons. “When it gets down to it, both sides want consistency before the board,” he said. “I find this to be an acceptable project.” For many North County residents, the decision represents a sharp divide in county ideology. While medical, tourist, and service industries buttress South County, the oil industry remains key in North County, explained County Supervisor Peter Adam.“I think everyone needs to load up and take a trip to China,” he said, contending China’s pollution is far worse than Santa Barbara’s. But outgoing 3rd District Supervisor Doreen Farr, whose constituency straddles North and South, was the decisive vote. After first noting many oil projects are decided at the Planning Commission and never reach the Board of Supervisors, Farr ran through PCEC’s long history of

neglecting to report oil seeps to the proper authorities. She rejected the charge that the South Coast supervisors were diametrically opposed to any and all oil projects. That charge is one that oil-industry personnel are increasingly asserting. Today, is there an oil project environmentalists would support? The climate-change movement has certainly become more prominent, oil-industry reps note. But they stress our continued reliance on petroleum; producing it at home is better than importing it from abroad. But with Assemblymember Das Williams, a strong environmentalist, replacing outgoing Supervisor Salud Carbajal, and Democrats leading in voter registration numbers — which favors 3rd District supervisorial candidate Joan Hartmann, a former environmental attorney — the board is poised to be even tougher on oil n development in the future.

Four Bike projects Get $15.5 Million

our Santa Barbara bike projects are on the short list to receive a total of $15.5 million in state transportation grants designed to promote “active transit.” Recommended for funding is the Westside bikeway much debated as part of the City of Santa Barbara’s new Bicycle Master Plan and budgeted to cost $4.4 million to build. It includes a long cross-town bicycle boulevard running along Sola Street starting at Castillo Street. Another $2.7 million has been set aside for a series of Eastside bike thoroughfares — either green-striped bike lanes or bicycle boulevards — that will connect Alisos Street to Santa Barbara High School. Santa Barbara traffic planner Peter Brown said, once built, the new bikeways will allow cyclists to ride from Chino Street on the Westside to Alisos on the Eastside on designated bicycle routes. Plans for the Westside bikeway were the source of considerable late-night political melodrama at City Hall, engaging the focused energies and creative compromise of the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition and residents of Micheltorena Street upset at the prospect of losing 80 parking spaces. The Sola Street compromise ultimately agreed upon was predicated upon this grant funding. Competition for these funds was intense. Only 50 projects out of 456 applications were funded. In addition, another $6.8 million was set aside to build a bicycle lane connecting Rincon to Carpinteria Avenue. That bike lane was required by the California Coastal Commission as a mitigation for the two new freeway bridges that are necessary to accommodate the new and wider freeway. Final approval for the grants takes place December 8. The funds become available — Nick Welsh in 2019, and construction would start the following year. independent.com

One-Way ticket Out of town

Santa BarBara Marijuana Control aCt

Oct. 27 - NOv. 3, 2016

wo weekends ago, Downtown Santa Barbara (DSB) paid for 15 homeless people and two pit bulls to go home or to a treatment center outside of the city. Each train or bus ticket, which cost the business organization $225 per person on average, took them as close as Los Angeles or as far as New York City. DSB had hired seasoned homeless outreach worker Luke Barrett to find contenders living on State Street for the Homeward Bound program. He’d strike up a conversation with homeless individuals he did not recognize and ask them when was the last time things were going well. If they named a place or a family member, Barrett called to verify. Once police cleared their names to ensure they had no outstanding warrants, he’d hand them a bag of food and toiletries and $10. “This issue has many faces, and it is complicated,” Maggie Campbell, executive director at DSB, wrote in an email. “This approach to try to reunify homeless individuals does not work for our most chronic homeless who are living and dying on our street. We thought it might work for a lot of people who are panhandling/stuck here/down on their luck.” At its worst, the effort in other cities has been sardonically called “greyhound therapy,” a pejorative term to describe bussing mentally-ill agitators out of town. But at its best, the process is known as reunification and is commended by homeless advocacy groups. Over the summer, a study found nearly half the homeless people contacted on State Street said they would like to go elsewhere if they had the funds to do so.“It is a good and human thing to do if you can get them to redirect,” said Randy Rowse, city councilmember and DSB boardmember. The program is similar to one that has been implemented on — Kelsey Brugger occasion by the police department’s Restorative Policing program.

EDUcAtION Second Lady Dr. Jill Biden tweeted on 10/24 that the Fund for Santa Barbara City College has won — via social media voting — the #PromiseStory video competition hosted by Heads Up America, a Washington D.C.–based advocate for free community college education based in Washington, D.C. The five-minute video, shot and edited by Cage Free Productions, features First 5’s Ben Romo, S.B. Unified School District boardmember and State Assembly candidate Monique Limón, and newly enrolled SBCC students taking up the program — launched this fall — on its offer of two free years of full-time tuition, fees, books, and supplies. CeO Geoff Green said the foundation recently passed the $2 million mark on its way to gathering more than $5 million to cover the program’s first three years. It currently has 730 students enrolled. Last week, the SBCC Foundation purchased the former Paul Mitchell beauty school on Anacapa Street for $5.3 million. The school’s cosmetology program is expected to move into the 10,000-square-foot space by summer 2017. Currently, the program is housed in a smaller space at the Magnolia Shopping Center in Goleta. “I am very excited about it,” said foundation director Geoff Green, noting the property purchase is a first for the college. The deal functions as a sound investment that directly serves the school, he said. Asked if they have more plans to buy land, Green said, “I think if this works, we are certainly open.”

ELEctION even though it literally rained on their parade, several dozen Donald Trump supporters rallied at the courthouse on 10/30. For 30 minutes, they

CONT’D frOM P. 9 implored people to vote for Trump and then scurried out of the way of a scheduled wedding. Co-sponsored by Moms for Trump and the Santa Barbara Tea Party and Culpepper Society, the event was held in unison with a conservative rally in Sacramento. Bobbi McGinnis, secretary of the county’s Republican Central Committee, acknowledged that the area is overwhelmingly Democrat but noted that has not always been the case. “We are pro-business,” she said. “We just want responsible government.” Democratic Congressional candidate Salud Carbajal demanded last week that TV stations KeYT and KSBY “cease and desist” running a political ad for his Republican rival, Justin Fareed, that Carbajal’s attorneys claim is “false and defamatory.” The ad took Carbajal — a county supervisor — to task for approving multiple pay increases for county supervisors. The television stations’ attorneys replied that the decision was Fareed’s to pull the ad or not, and his campaign attorney, Chuck Bell of Sacramento, refused, insisting the ad was “factually accurate” and “not defamatory as a matter of law.” As a matter of fact, Carbajal did vote for two pay increases — one in 2006 and one in 2014. But contrary to the ad, he voted against a proposal this July to make supervisors’ pay increases automatic. In a solemn rally held in Isla Vista on 10/28, Salud Carbajal declared he was “appalled” Justin Fareed would accept a $2,500 donation from the National Rifle Association in light of elliot Rodger’s murder rampage two years ago. Carbajal also blasted Congress for its response to mass killings: “No moment of silence ever brought anyone back.” Carbajal was accompanied by Richard Martinez, whose son was killed by Rodger, and Pastor Frank Schaefer of I.V.’s Methodist church; both threw their support behind Carbajal. In a press statement, Fareed accused Carbajal of making political hay out of tragedy and also stated his support for “sensible gun laws that keep guns out of the hands of individuals who shouldn’t have them.” n

When Democracy Fails

n a year when a United States presidential candidate talks openly about jailing his opponent, it is well to remember that in places like the East African nation of Burundi, where political prisoners are routinely rounded up, confined, and tortured, the desire to lock up one’s political opponents has led beyond mere governmental instability into a prolonged state of human-rights catastrophe. On Sunday, November 6, Santa Barbarans will be reminded of what happens when a country loses its democratic moral compass when the annual Human Rights Watch Voices for JusPierre Claver Mbonimpa tice event honors Pierre Claver Mbonimpa with the Alison Des Forges Award for Extraordinary Activism. It’s been an eventful time for Mbonimpa, who founded Burundi’s Association for the Protection of Human Rights and Detained Persons in 2001. Sunday night will be the oneyear anniversary of the day on which it was discovered that his son Welly Nzitonda had been killed by members of the Pierre Nkurunziza–led government in retaliation for an attempted coup. Mbonimpa himself barely escaped assassination in August 2015 when he was shot in the face. I spoke to him last week from Brussels, where he fled last year. Mbonimpa said that after an unsuccessful attempt by the current regime to shut down Burundi’s Internet, his team of observers is back at work.“In remote parts of the country, but also within the highest levels of government, the APRODH [the French acronym for his organization] is back using email and social media to monitor human rights abuses in Burundi,” he said. The biggest obstacle that Burundi must overcome on its path to democracy, according to Mbonimpa, is the backsliding caused by several years of civil war. “It’s receded by 80 percent,” he said, referring to confidence in the elections and the authority of the president since Nkurunziza made the unilateral decision to abolish term limits and run for a third time. “It’s going to take a long time to gain that trust in the system back.” As in neighboring Rwanda, Burundi has a history of ethnic conflict between Hutu and Tutsi, but the country has largely recovered from that division. “What we face now is a political problem and not an ethnic conflict,” Mbonimpa said.“If you go to the provinces, to the small towns, there you see Hutu and Tutsi working and living alongside one another. Rather than see ethnic conflict as driving our politics, I would instead see politicians in Burundi inciting ethnic conflict for political ends.” For more, visit the Human — Charles Donelan Rights Watch website at hrw.org.

s of January 1, watering lawns within Santa Barbara city limits will be outlawed in response to Southern California’s worsening drought and the South Coast’s allbut-empty reservoirs. While the City Council was unanimous about the watering ban, there was much heated discussion about the possibility of water rationing and even a moratorium on new development. Councilmember Randy Rowse, a moderate conservative, said residents have a hard time cutting back water consumption only to see new development go up. Councilmembers Frank Hotchkiss and Cathy Murillo, who rarely agree on much, pushed for a rationing plan in which water customers are given a finite amount of water they can use any way they like. Those who exceed that amount would be hit with a stiff fine. City water czar Joshua Haggmark explained that rationing made sense in theory but in practice could be hard to manage given there are 27,000 separate households. He said his staff will have rationing options to explore early next year. Several members of the public called for a building moratorium, arguing they should not have to sacrifice when new growth and development were allowed. Haggmark noted that new development required only 27 acre-feet per year but acknowledged “the optics” weren’t good. As increasingly occurs, council deliberations devolved into an angry and insistent argument between councilmembers Jason Dominguez and Murillo over a controversial city program designed to encourage developers to build high-density rental properties. Dominguez contends the program effectively subsidizes high-income renters at the expense of those making less than $123,000 a year. It’s an issue he frequently brings up, no matter what’s on the agenda. Efforts by Mayor Helene Schneider and Councilmember Bendy White to corral him proved futile. Murillo, an ardent advocate for the housing program, accused Dominguez of hijacking a discussion about the drought. When he sought to rebut, Murillo escalated her criticism until Schneider intervened. Currently, city residents are using 41 percent less water than they were before the drought. By banning lawn irrigation, Haggmark hopes city residents can meet that target year-round, not just in cooler, damper months. The reduction in water sales caused by the ban will cost City Hall $3.2 million a year, to be made up from reserves in the short term and by yet-to-be-proposed water-rate increases in the long term. — Nick Welsh

ELEctION 2016

Salud Carbajal

Justin fareed

DOWn and DiRtY Carbajal and Fareed duke It Out for 24th Congressional district

by Nick Welsh hings don’t get much hotter. This week, President Barack Obama descended from the White House to endorse Salud Carbajal, the Democratic county supervisor now running to represent the South Coast in Congress. Historically, Obama has made a point to stay out of local races, but given the stakes involved, coupled with his surging popularity, he’s jumped in feetfirst, endorsing Democrats in 150 congressional and statehouse races. In the other camp, no less a figure than House Speaker and Republican party leader Paul Ryan made an appearance in Santa Barbara this past weekend, executing a quick fundraising whistle-stop to exhort the faithful party to give ’til it hurts and send Republican Justin Fareed to Congress next year. The race for the 24th Congressional District — which encompasses Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, plus a tiny sliver of Ventura County — could set new spending records, shattering the $10 million ceiling. That’s partly because the 24th was singled out by major political handicappers as one of three genuinely competitive districts in all of California. When it comes to personal history, life experience, style, and personal values, the differences between Carbajal and Fareed could not be more glaring. On hot-button issues such as abortion rights, gun control, banning oil development and fracking, minimum-wage increases, free college tuition, and the Affordable Care Act, Carbajal counts himself as emphatically in favor. Fareed, by contrast, not so much. A self-described voice of young millennials, Fareed talks the talk of fiscal prudence, tax burdens, overregulation, and crushing federal debt. Carbajal talks instead about making opportunities for “working middle-class families.” With Carbajal and Fareed, the political is also the personal. These two candidates do not like each other. At a recent debate, the 51-year-old Carbajal sarcastically belittled Fareed — 28 — saying he had no experience to speak of other than playing high school football and working briefly — 14 months — for a Kentucky congressmember who resigned earlier this year in the wake of an ethics scandal. “I certainly hope you can do better than that,” Carbajal said,“if you want to hit the ground running.” Later in the same debate, Fareed was asked if he could

think of anything positive to say about Carbajal. “The answer,” he spat,“is no, I can’t.” Both campaigns have deluged the airwaves with televised ads, but Fareed’s have been more aggressive. He has relentlessly attacked Carbajal as a self-serving, double-talking Democratic Party hack who voted to give himself multiple pay increases while not paying his own taxes and increasing the tax burden on others. He questioned how Carbajal could claim to be against offshore oil development when, in fact, Carbajal voted in favor of the PXP oil development proposed eight years ago. Carbajal said he was “appalled” Fareed would take such liberties with the facts, noting the PXP proposal had been resoundingly vetted and endorsed by the local environmental establishment because it would — among other things — hasten the shutdown of existing offshore oil platforms. Carbajal’s ads have skewered Fareed for not renouncing Trump before the Access Hollywood videotape story broke and then distancing himself afterward out of political expediency. Recently, Fareed announced he is supporting neither Trump nor Clinton and denied ever endorsing Trump, despite telling the Montecito Journal shortly before the Republican convention that he had. “This is just ridiculous,” Fareed fumed at a recent debate.“You should be ashamed of yourself.” Carbajal, the youngest of eight kids, was born in Mexico and moved to the United States at age 5 with his family to the copper-mining town of Bagdad, Arizona. There his father worked in the mines, earning solid middle-class pay. Carbajal learned English almost effortlessly, spoke without an accent, and mixed easily with kids of all skin colors. Life, however, was anything but Mayberry. The copper mine shut down before Carbajal hit junior high school, and his mom — afflicted with debilitating rheumatoid arthritis — took part of the family to Oxnard. Not long after, one of Carbajal’s sisters committed suicide, shooting herself with her father’s revolver. Carbajal was in the next room and first to see the body. The family reunited, moving into public housing in La Colonia, one of Oxnard’s tougher neighborhoods. Smart, goofy, and socially agile, Carbajal did well in school and got along with kids from all the cliques. His father worked in the fields — so, too, did Carbajal in the summer months. He was the first in his family to graduate from a four-year college: UCSB. Carbajal credits his parents and good teachers

for this success. While at UCSB, Carbajal met his wife, Gina — who now runs Santa Barbara’s Special Olympics— on a blind date.“She must be blind because we’re still married,” he joked at a recent forum. They have two kids. After graduating, Carbajal enlisted in the Marine Reserves and trained during the first Gulf War, but his unit was never deployed. Back home, Carbajal began working for the County of Santa Barbara. He and Gina soon bought a home on the Westside, getting into debt over their heads and had five IRS liens placed on them. By 2000, all had been paid off. Fareed’s campaign ads have jumped on Carbajal for endorsing increases in statewide income taxes and voting in favor of sales- and bed-tax increases at the county level, when he couldn’t pay his own taxes. Carbajal answered that his financial challenges are typical of many working families. Likewise, any votes to increase taxes required a majority of county supervisors to pass; most such votes were unanimous. Were it not for the late 1st District supervisor Naomi Schwartz, it’s not certain where Carbajal’s career might have led. Respected and somewhat feared, Schwartz had emerged by the 1990s as the reigning Mama Bear of the environmental-Democratic establishment. When Latino activists noted that none of the liberal supervisors had hired any brownskinned administrative staff, Schwartz asked Carbajal if he knew of anyone who might be interested. He was. Under Schwartz’s mentoring, Carbajal got a crash course in constituent service. He worked hard, took pains never to upstage his boss, and put his innate affability to use, navigating the tug and pull of multiple conflicting agendas. Carbajal might not be the land-use wonk Schwartz was; few could be. But those looking behind his jovial façade discovered an unusually tough, shrewd, careful, and appraising person. He didn’t wave flags; he listened, and he made deals. He was good at it. It was equally evident that Schwartz was grooming Carbajal to fill her shoes. Only Congressmember Lois Capps, who endorsed him when he was first announced, would give Carbajal’s political career a bigger boost. Justin Fareed, by contrast, was born at Cottage Hospital and grew up in Montecito — the youngest of two kids. His father, Donald Fareed, is a famously gifted orthopedic surgeon; his mother, Linda Fareed, is equally famous as a whirling dervish in Santa Barbara real estate. She also focused her considerable energy on developing the family business manufacturing orthopedic knee and ankle braces. On the campaign trail, Fareed talks about “breaking down boxes” for the family business even as a young kid, eventually rising to vice president. Fareed’s mother’s family also owns a Kern County cattle ranch, going back three generations. On the campaign trail, Fareed frequently cites both in explaining why he believes the reach of government needs to be checked. Many small businesses, he says, cannot survive the gauntlet of government regulation and taxes. At Santa Barbara High School, Fareed became an accomplished running back for the Dons football team and then attended UCLA and made the football team there, but an injury kept him on the bench. In his senior year, Fareed boasted, he was voted Most Inspirational Player. After graduating in 2011 — majoring in international relations — he stuck around the football program as an unpaid coaching intern. Shortly thereafter, he stumbled into a paying staff gig with then-congressmember Ed Whitfield of Kentucky, Republican chair of the influential Energy and Power subcommittee. There are multiple accounts as to how Fareed and Whitfield hooked up. One, favored by Fareed’s campaign, tells how he encountered Whitfield looking a little lost outside the UCLA locker room. Fareed struck up a conversation and helped him find his way. Whitfield, impressed, offered Fareed a paying position as legislative analyst. Another version — also from the campaign — suggests the Fareed family and Whitfield go way back, bonded by a common passion for thoroughbred horses. Federal elections records, however, indicate Fareed’s mother and aunt began donating to Whitfield — either directly or through his political action committee, the Thoroughbred PAC — as early as 2006, six years before Fareed started working for the former congressmember.

24th District cont’d from p.17 Hired by Whitfield in 2012, Fareed said he saw firsthand the dysfunction in Washington, D.C. He quit, he said, because of the “zero-sum-game, winner-take-all” shortsightedness of a political system in which participants focus more on winning elections every two years than getting things done. Speaking almost evangelically about wonky-sounding reforms such as “biannual budgets,” “single-subject legislation,” automatic-spending sunset provisions, better fiscal oversight, and other “systemic” changes, he also boasts he has the “will,” “spine,” and “backbone” for the job. During the 14 months working for Whitfield, Fareed, along with other Congressional staffers, flew to Turkey for a 10-day “educational” tour sponsored by a pro-Turkey lobby group. (Whitfield is a cofounder of the Congressional Caucus on Turkey and Turkish Americans, which is opposed to Congress formally recognizing as genocide the Ottoman government’s slaughter of 1.5 million Armenians around the end of World War I.) Fareed also worked on a Whitfield bill to protect Tennessee walking horses from cruel training methods. Whitfield’s wife, then a paid lobbyist for the Humane Society, used her husband’s congressional offices and staff to meet with as many as 100 other congressional members to promote the bill. The House ethics panel later rebuked Whitfield for this. He claimed he did not know at the time his wife was a Humane Society lobbyist — even though his staff did. He resigned this September. Ultimately the bill did not pass. When Fareed quit in 2013, he moved back to Santa Barbara and worked, he said, for the family company. A year later he announced his candidacy for Congress, running against Republican stalwarts Chris Mitchum and Dale Francisco in the primary, to challenge 10-term Democratic incumbent Lois Capps. Republican party veterans strongly urged him to wait his turn and run for other offices. He refused. What Fareed offered in lieu of experience was energy and money. He gave his campaign $200,000. It helped. In the 2014 primary, Fareed came in just 600 votes behind Mitchum and 5,000 votes ahead of Francisco. He was 26 years old. When Lois Capps announced in 2015 she would not seek another term, both Carbajal and Fareed’s engines were revving. Carbajal had been painstakingly positioning himself to succeed Capps for some time. To get to November, however, Carbajal would have to run against popular Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider in the June primary. Capps famously endorsed Carbajal in that primary, bringing the party establishment to Carbajal’s side. Fareed, likewise, wasted no time making his intentions known. To make November, Fareed would have to beat Katcho Achadjian, a popular and well-respected assemblymember from San Luis Obispo who had supported Fareed in 2014.

In the 12 years Carbajal has been a supervisor—winning election three times —he’s never run a contested race against a viable opponent. As supervisor, Carbajal was accessible, likable, and indefatigable. If he found himself sideways with liberal supervisors such as Janet Wolf, he’d figure out how to patch things up. Carbajal always made a point to get along with 5th District supervisors, first Joe Centeno and now Steve Lavagnino — traditionally seen as adversarial to the South Coast environmental agenda. Without Centeno’s support, for example, Carbajal never could have secured the votes for his signature accomplishment, the children’s health insurance initiative that reduced the number of uninsured minors from 16,000 to 1,500. (Republican Centeno, incidentally, is supporting Fareed.) The second time Carbajal ran, Montecito moneyed interests went searching for a candidate to run against him. They couldn’t find a soul. Ultimately, they opted to support Carbajal. The third time Carbajal ran, his opponent left town halfway into the race.

With carbajal and Fareed, the political is also the personal. these candidates really do not like each other. Carbajal has run largely unopposed, in part because of his prodigious fundraising prowess. No one is more relentless. One developer confided Carbajal called him 10 times in one week. In the Democratic primary, Carbajal outspent Schneider by nearly two to one, secured almost all the pertinent endorsements, and fielded more precinct walkers and get-out-the-vote telephone callers. It wasn’t even close. Fareed’s access to campaign cash has set him apart, as well. It was the $200,000 he donated to his campaign in 2014 that brought him within striking distance of Mitchum. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has since questioned how Fareed could give himself more than he actually earned and whether Fareed fully complied with campaign finance disclosure law. But it was in the 2016 primary that Fareed’s ability to raise large quantities of campaign cash raised eyebrows. The money came from donors who owned skilled nursing-home facilities outside the district. He has since argued that he had to go around the party establishment to wage a viable campaign against an entrenched insider like Achadjian.

Fareed has also come under fire because of the money, more than $100,000, that the oil industry has given to his campaign. The former CEO of Greka Oil and his wife have each donated $2,700. Greka is currently under legal prosecution by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for violations at their Santa Maria facilities where 500,000 gallons of oil leaked. Fareed’s campaign stated he only knew the former oil CEO as the owner of a boutique winery. Greka is currently seeking to depose Carbajal as part of the EPA case to determine if Carbajal exerted improper political influence in the EPA’s decision to sue. Wherever the money came from—and however it arrived — it proved enough to retain big-name political talent like Rick Wiley — former campaign consultant for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s presidential campaign — and Fred Davis, now legendary for his offbeat, creative political commercials. Achadjian ran a listless race and never counterpunched when attacked by Carbajal or Fareed. On election night in June, Fareed won a major-upset victory. With one week left before Election Day, Carbajal would appear blessed with statistical advantages. The Democratic voter registration, districtwide, has widened to 8 percent since June, when it was 6.4 percent. At that time, 10,000 more Democrats cast ballots in the congressional race than did Republicans. Schneider, his primary opponent, has endorsed him, though with little fanfare, and the party has unified. By

contrast, Achadjian has declined to endorse anyone, and the South Coast Republican machine—to the extent one exists—is in unhappy disarray. Democratic voter-registration drives have borne fruit in vote-rich Isla Vista, where student voters are expected to turn out in large numbers to defeat Trump and get pot legalized. Carbajal hurt himself with Lompoc voters after he was overheard jokingly suggesting that the city was the armpit of the county, and Fareed continues to pummel him in TV commercials. But Carbajal has

On The Issues

raised enough money to fight back on the airwaves, and he enjoys the biggest advantage in numbers of volunteers. As of October 19, Carbajal had raised $2.8 million for both the primary and general elections, and political action committees supporting Carbajal have raised roughly $2 million. Fareed’s campaign has raised $2.1 million, and PACs supporting him have reported raising $1.8 million. In the last quarter, Fareed out-raised Carbajal $730,000 to $600,000. Statewide, the Trump factor appears to

have hurt Republican candidates, and early voter turnout indicates 1.5 percent fewer Republicans have mailed in their ballots than they did this time four years ago. Conversely, some down-ticket Republicans are receiving more money than usual from donors disinclined to support Trump. As of this writing, 101,528 voters have mailed in their ballots for the 24th District race, with Democrats ahead by 7 percent.After the same number of days in 2012, the number of ballots cast was 90,805. Republicans at that n time enjoyed a one percent edge.

here’s how CArbAjAl and FAreed break down.

ABORtION: Carbajal described himself as “100 percent pro-choice,” cites his “Giraffe” award from Planned Parenthood for sticking his neck out, and supports funding for Planned Parenthood. fareed describes abortion as “an intensely personal decision,” says government should have no role, and has supported an investigation into Planned Parenthood in the past.

MINIMUM-WAgE INcREASE tO $15: fareed opposes.

Carbajal supports.

AFFORDABLE cARE Act: Carbajal says it needs to be tweaked to

address rising premiums. fareed says it should be repealed but replaced with something that also protects those with pre-existing conditions.

OFFSHORE OIL AND FRAcKINg:

Carbajal says he opposes both. fareed says he supports a “decarbonized future” and describes oil development and fracking as part of the transition to get there. Both

agree climate change is real. Carbajal says human activity is responsible. fareed says it’s a contributing cause.

gUN SAFEtY: Carbajal supports denying gun sales to anyone on the No-fly List, background checks for ammunition sales, plugging loopholes to universal background checks, and holding gun manufacturers civilly liable for damage caused by their product. fareed objects to lack of due process for those placed on the No-fly List, says existing laws should be better enforced before new ones are passed, and stresses mental-health care in keeping guns out of the wrong hands.

tAXES: Carbajal calls for plugging tax loopholes and increasing taxes for corporations and the wealthy. fareed supports a new flat tax and greater congressional oversight of the funds Congress spends.

HIgHER EDUcAtION: Carbajal supports free tuition for commu-

nity college students. fareed calls for the creation of tax-exempt family savings plans earmarked for higher education.

‘Nightmare on De la Vina Street’

NEW FOE: Sandra Force and her husband,

George Ducott, are 100 percent disabled military vets, fighting a losing battle against a triple-threat monster that looms over their house. While in the Vietnamese demilitarized zone back in the 1950s, George survived North Vietnamese artillery attacks, a spraying with herbicides, and being sent to command a fire base that had been overrun and everyone killed. But George and Sandra have been helpless to defeat the onslaught of a city zoning ordinance that seems to many to be veering out of control. “Our reward for our service is the new view from our windows,” Sandra said. On the lot next to their home at 1617 De la Vina Street sits “a six-foot cinderblock retaining wall and a claustrophobic wall of wood six feet from the property line on a construction site jammed with three two-story houses that loom like big-city skyscrapers, blocking out trees, sunsets, and even our home as you drive down the street.” Under the much-criticized trial Average Unit-size Density (AUD) Incentive Program Ordinance, Emmet Hawkes Jr., owner of the property at 1623 De la Vina, got approval for three two-story, two-bedroom rental units instead of three studio units or two one-bedroom units, as allowed under prior zoning. “We are improving the neighborhood,”

Hawkes told me. He said he wasn’t sure of what the rents will be, but perhaps $2,400$2,500 a month. Only one uncovered parking space is required per building, instead of one covered and one uncovered under prior zoning, according to city staff. “There used to be one single-story home on this small lot that had been a rental for years,” Sandra said in an angry, seven-page letter. All was relatively peaceful. Then the nightmare of construction began. “How could the City Council allow this to happen?” Well, to quote an old saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” A few years ago, the city, feeling the need for more affordable rental housing, figured the AUD program — allowing higher density — would reduce parking and that other incentives would attract developers. And has it ever. An estimated 1,000 applications are in the pipeline, far exceeding practically anyone’s expectations. Despite dubious hopes that they’ll be affordable, there is no such requirement. The program is due to be reviewed after eight years or 250 units are approved. When the city notice of a hearing arrived, “I didn’t know what to do,” Sandra told me. A U.S. Air Force veteran with a UCLA degree in linguistics, Sandra is not in good health, and

George lives with severe post-traumatic stress disorder and multiple sclerosis. She didn’t realize she could have asked to be notified of further hearings. So when they happened, no one spoke. “In 1979, I moved to Santa Barbara with my two sons and bought my home, an old two-story craftsman built in 1895. In 1984, I married my husband. That makes [many] years that I have lived here with my family: husband, children, and grandchildren. We have been very happy here — past tense.” She calls the resulting AUD project an “illconceived ‘Nightmare on De la Vina Street,’ this horrible display of unrestrained greed and excess. …” At a joint meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission last Thursday, Natasha Todorovic-Cowan of the new Citizens for Livable Neighborhoods savaged AUD. It is actually producing higher rents, and some units supposedly intended as affordable for the workforce are being turned into vacation rentals, she charged. “Two of the first four AUD rental units … have been rented as short-term vacation rentals.” They were reported as illegal in May and continue to be rented out. She also claimed that AUD projects favor the upper income bracket while displacing current residents to make room for them. “Existing and potential workforce hous-

AUD ATTACK: Three houses stand where a single one-story stood next door to Sandra Force’s home.

ing is being lost with evictions,” and AUD is causing significant hikes in land values. As a result, rents are on the rise, she said. With a minimum of only one parking space per unit and no limit to the number of cars, there will be parking impacts for residential neighborhoods and small businesses, she warned. “Projects with five bedrooms and a single parking space have already been proposed in the AUD program.” With the current “developer feeding frenzy,” the city is incentivizing developers at the expense of the poor, taxpayers, and renters, she charged. “AUD temporarily enriches the top 15 percent while disenfranchising the bottom 50 percent or more.” —Barney Brantingham

The Email Election How Cybersecurity Came to Shape the 2016 Race, and Why It Matters

rophetic as usual, Jerry Brown way back last summer explained, with characteristic élan, the political peril that Hillary Clinton’s email predicament posed to her presidential bid. “The email thing — it has kind of a mystique to it,” California Governor Jerry Brown said on Meet the Press in August 2015. “You know, an email is just an utterance in digital form, but it has some kind of dark energy that gets everybody excited. “It’s almost like a vampire,” he added. “She’s going to have to find a stake and put it right through the heart of these emails in some way.” Alas for Clinton and her Democratic supporters, she failed to dispatch the email Dracula that haunted her campaign. Proving Brown’s point about the tantalizing mysteries of email, politicians and the press alike for more than a year panted after Clinton’s digital trove with near lascivious tenacity, spurred by cognizance of the universal emailer practice of putting private thoughts in writing, often in very rash and indiscreet language. Thus the tangled web of surmise and speculation over “Hillary’s emails” metastasized throughout her race against Donald Trump, who seized on an unprecedented October surprise over the controversy, sprung by the FBI director, for a final thrust against her in the last week of the campaign. It all underscored the wisdom of California political icon Willie Brown’s rationale for never using email: “‘E’ is for evidence,” he says. It never ends. By the time you read this, there’s a good chance the winner of the election will be known (fearless forecast: it’s Hillary). Regardless of the result, the email issue will continue to shape Washington political battles for years to come: Trump threatened to imprison Clinton over her emails if he won, while a key House Republican declared them “target rich” for future partisan witch hunts if she captured the White House. Beyond this, the specter of Vladimir Putin commanding Kremlin hackers to influence the U.S. election — as the keystroke pirates of WikiLeaks pursued the same mission — for the first time highlighted for many the dramatic dangers of cyber espionage and security. For those reasons, it’s worthwhile dissecting the alleged “scandal” into its distinct components:  national security. Clinton’s inane deci-

sion as Secretary of State to use an insecure, home-based, private server, the hardware that effectively serves as a post office for ingoing and outgo-

ing email, rather than the government system, led to legitimate inquiries into whether classified information was passed to or from her. An FBI probe found only a few such cases—none of them apparently very serious, although the agency did not rule out the possibility her server was hacked by hostile powers without her knowledge.  transparency. Clinton’s claim that

she chose to use a private server as a “convenience” was belied by her shifting explanations and by recovered emails from staff members suggesting that the true reason for her ill-advised decision was to protect correspondence from Freedom of Information [Act] requests; a prime example of the Clintons’ penchant for secrecy, it was somewhat understandable given the unrelenting efforts of right-wing legal outfits such as Judicial Watch to cripple them politically.

 the russian connection. U.S. intelli-

gence officials concluded that Russian agents conducted the hacking of the Democratic National Committee, and the WikiLeaks strike on the account of John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign chair, aligned with Putin’s interests. Despite all the media Sturm und Drang over these emails, there never was much there, unless you happen to be surprised that a political campaign involves careful, prefatory, and self-interested calculation.

PolItIcal Pocket rocket. And then there were the emails referred to by FBI Director James Comey in a cryptic letter released to a Clinton-hunting Republican House committee 10 days before the election. He wrote that these might be “pertinent” to the agency’s previous investigation of the private server, which cleared Hillary of criminal action. They were found on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of a top Clinton aide, during an investigation of allegations that the repulsive former congressmember sent digital messages to a 15-year-old girl. At press time, the bombshell revelation presented a new threat to Clinton, because it moved the campaign away from a referendum on Trump’s fitness to be president to one over Clinton’s character. Capitol Letters at this hour still predicts a solid Electoral College win for Hillary, although it’s fitting that the bizarre 2016 race would come down to voters determining the importance of some creepo’s dick pics. Don’t forget to vote. — Jerry Roberts independent.com

Kent Thomas Weinburg 10/12/84-10/11/16

Kent Thomas Weinberg, with his parents and brother at his bedside surrounding him with love and comfort, was taken from his too short life in this world on October 11, 2016, one day before his 32nd birthday. Kent was born in Chico, California and was raised in Carpinteria, part of the large, close-knit Weinberg family. After graduating from Carpinteria High School in 2003, he continued his education at Santa Barbara City College where he earned his AA degree in Liberal Arts. Remembered by all as a sensitive, kind, and generous soul, Kent was also known for his wickedly funny sense of humor, quirky outlook, open smile and contagious laugh. Being an avid reader of anything from Steven King to books on Feng Shui, he was a great conversationalist and a careful listener too. Kent’s true passion was music, but he also enjoyed movies and T.V., and was an early and longtime fan of “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy.” Always appreciative of good food, in particular his mother’s cooking, he spent many Sunday evenings at the weekly family dinner in his grandparents’ beachside Carpinteria home, often catching up with relatives or family friends from out of town. Kent loved the family Boxers, Scout and Sledge, who demonstrated their love for him with excited greetings and sloppy kisses whenever he came home. Kent’s enthusiasm for projects and new experiences included travel and especially the family trip across Europe in 2001, and his trips to Boston in later years to visit his brother, Matt and his wife, Molly. Never afraid of hard work, Kent gained real satisfaction from a job well done, always taking the extra pains to make sure that it was completed properly as his dad, Tom, had taught him. Kent is survived by and forever held in the hearts of his parents, Tom and Bonnie Weinberg of Carpinteria, his brother Matt (Molly) Weinberg, niece and nephew Clara and Will Weinberg of Swampscott, MA, and his grandparents Dick and Libby Weinberg of Carpinteria, and was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Cecelia and Harry Winters, formerly of San Rafael, California. His unique spirit, the “essence” of Kent, will be loved and remembered always by his many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. A funeral Mass celebrating Kent’s life was held at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in Carpinteria on Tuesday, October 18, at 10:30 A.M 26

THE INDEPENDENT

It is the family’s great hope that our tragic loss will help shed light on the growing epidemic of drug addiction, which ultimately contributed significantly to Kent’s death. We pray that honest and open discussion of the issue will help lessen the shame often associated with it, promote a better understanding of its complexities and perhaps lead families to seek and find the resources needed to counsel and aid their loved ones in finding recovery. Our belief is that addiction is a disease and not a moral failure of those who have fallen victim to it. For those who wish to make a donation in Kent’s honor, please consider a contribution to the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission. Checks can be made payable to “SBRM-In Memory of Kent Weinberg”, mailed to 535 E. Yanonali Street, Santa Barbara CA 93103. For more information, email Kent’s mother at grace1054@cox.net.

Lupe Joe Villa 11/24/27-10/20/16

Lupe Joe Villa passed away suddenly and peacefully on Thursday Oct. 20 at Alexander Gardens, in Santa Barbara where he resided. Lupe was a Santa Barbara native born on Nov. 24, 1927. He lived an incredible life, full of love, while continuously surrounded by his family and friends. Meeting Lupe was always a cherished memory. From taking the school bus directly to the lemon fields in Goleta after school, to many adventures in the downtown pool halls with his four brothers, he treated his friends and family to the real life history of Santa Barbara. An expert-gardener by trade, he dedicated his life to beautifying and cultivating several estates in Montecito and Santa Barbara. He loved his family, friends, nature, mariachi, good food and making salsa. His great sense of humor, and strength both mentally and physically even while living with Parkinson’s disease, was an inspiration to all who knew Lupe. He never gave up. During his life he endured the passing of his daughter Linda, his loving wife Norma, four brothers and 2 sisters. He will be sorely missed. He is survived by his daughter Rita Villa Danchuk, (Rick), stepson Gary Pesek, (daughter Gloria, son Justin) grandchildren, Parissa & Jaleh Ebrahimi, Alanna & Zach Gones, many nieces and nephews and brother and sister in laws. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Hospice of Santa Barbara, 2050 Alameda Padre Serra, Suite 100, Santa Barbara, CA 93103.

Robert Pye Beckham Jr. 1919-2016

Robert Pye Beckham, Jr. passed away gracefully and peacefully on October 20, 2016 at Casa Dorinda in Montecito, California. He was 97 and died of natural causes with his wife Sally at his side. “Beck” was born in Denver, Colorado, and grew up in Los Angeles. He attended Beverly Hills High School, where he was voted “The Boy Most Likely to Succeed” by his classmates. He received his BA from Stanford University in 1941 and was a member of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity. A member of “the Greatest Generation”, after Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the Marine Corp, rose to the rank of Captain, and spent 23 months fighting with the 5th Marine Division in the South Pacific, including leading troops at the battles of Saipan and Iwo Jima. On discharge in 1945 he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. After WWII, Beck moved to Pasadena. He was a successful independent insurance agent for over 25 years. Upon selling his insurance agency at age 50, he began a second career in the restaurant business and founded “The Chronicle” and “Beckham Place” restaurants in Pasadena. Beck was not only successful in business, but was dedicated to civil and other community activities. He was President of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, Annandale Country Club, Pasadena Rotary and was active on the Vestry and as Junior Warden of All Saints Church Pasadena. He was also a member of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses for over 25 years, serving on a number of committees, including the Queen and Court Committee. Beck and Sally were married for almost 36 years. Sally was his soulmate and the inspiration of his life. Together they took many trips all around the world and lead trips to England and Scotland with their friends from Pasadena. He was a true Anglophile and often recited poems by Noel Coward and Robert Service. In November, 1993, Beck and Sally moved to Montecito where they were members of All Saints by the Sea, The Valley Club of Montecito and active at Casa Dorinda. Together they regularly played bridge, gin rummy and enjoyed a good “Beef “Beefeater Gibson”. Beck was a painter, poet, golfer and raconteur throughout his life. He was quick with a joke or an artistic note of inspiration to a friend in need. His stories and sayings will live forever. Beck was a loving husband, father,

Brooke E. Sawyer Jr. 03/05/25-09/30/16

Brooke Sawyer died September 30th at home at Valle Verde, Santa Barbara. He was 91 years old. The son of Brooke E. Sawyer, Sr., and Mabel Gerhard Edwards, Brooke was born in Redlands and spent his early years living on the family farm near Saticoy. He attended The Thacher School in Ojai and the University of California at Berkeley, where he was a member of the Chi Phi fraternity; earned his bachelor’s degree in soil science; and met Barbara, his wife of 66 years. Following graduation from Cal, Brooke began married life on the family citrus and avocado ranch in Santa Paula, and worked in various capacities for The Samuel Edwards Associates. The family moved to Davis in 1958, where Brooke earned his master’s degree in irrigation and water science at UCD, and then a doctorate in education at Stanford University. His career encompassed farming and college administration, including at California State University Sacramento, the California State University Moss Landing Marine Labs, and Pomona College in Claremont. Following his retirement in 1977 he and Barbara settled full time in the family’s summer home in Santa Barbara. Brooke was an avid sailor, hiker, skier, tennis player and world traveler. He served in the United States Navy in World War II and the Korean War, retiring from the Naval Reserve as a full Commander. He was a longtime member of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, and skipper of first a ketch, and then a cutter, each named the Mary Powell after his great-grandfather’s Hudson River steamboat. He was an avid supporter of the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and its Sea Center, working in many capacities as a volunteer for both. He was a dedicated Rotarian, and a member of Rotary Clubs that included Santa Paula, Sacramento East, Claremont, Montecito and Santa Barbara Sunrise. He was a faithful and active member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Santa Paula, St. Martin’s in Davis, St. Ambrose in Claremont, and All Saints by the Sea in Montecito. In all of his community activi-

ties he was a fervent advocate for educational opportunities. Brooke was preceded in death by Barbara. He is survived by his sisters Carol and Holly; by his sons and daughters-in-law Robert and Alison, Andrew and Carol Bingham, and Peter and Donna Jones; by his grandchildren Jessica (Robert Gwilliam), Sarah (Alain Mathaukot), Martin, Ruth, Katherine and Kristin; and by his great-grandson Sawyer Bayonne.

Wolfgang Lauter 1926-2016

Wolfgang Lauter died Monday, October 24, 2016, at the age of 90, in Santa Barbara, California. Wolf was born in 1926 in Elbing, Germany to the late Leo and Lola Lauter. His family immigrated to Toledo, Ohio in 1936, and Wolf moved to Santa Barbara in 1948. Wolf married Josephine Sabiron in 1952 and the couple recently celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary. Wolf served in the Air Force from 1945 to 1948. He graduated from Brooks Institute of Photography and UCSB (Biology). He worked as a cinematographer for the 1958 Walt Disney production “The Pigeon that Worked a Miracle,” starring his pet pigeon “Pidge.” During his 25-year teaching career, Wolf taught at Ojai Valley School, Crane School, and Anacapa School (Santa Barbara), sharing his love of biology and photography with numerous students. Wolf was a talented painter, and his fondness for animals was reflected in his paintings. In 1996, he and Josie went on an African safari, fulfilling a lifelong dream. Wolf delighted in making his garden a habitat for wildlife. He enjoyed walking on the beach, birdwatching, and visiting the zoo. Wolf will be lovingly remembered for his kindness, humor, integrity, and devotion to family. Wolf is survived by his wife Josie Lauter of Santa Barbara; daughters Linda Lauter, Diane Lauter (Patrick O’Donnell), and Annie Eicher (Robert Eicher); grandchildren Shamus O’Donnell, Bethany O’Donnell, and Chloe Eicher; great granddaughter Riley O’Donnell; sister Eva Zimmerman (Sandy Zimmerman); and sisterin-law Ida Lauter. Wolf is preceded in death by his brother Eric Lauter. No services are scheduled. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Wolf can be made to one of the organizations dear to Wolf ’s heart: the African Wildlife Foundation, the Santa Barbara Zoo, or Anacapa School. Our heartfelt thanks to the many doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers who cared for Wolf, to the generous staff at Trader Joe’s who have provided good cheer and friendship to Wolf and Josie, and to family and friends for their love and support.

1939-2016

Beloved Comrade

mean of me and my husband, Dick Flacks. He was also a friend of this community’s. I would like to take a page from MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, who ends his daily show by inviting his three final guests to “tell me something I don’t know. …” As the front-page obituary in the Los Angeles Times attests, Tom was a “famous person”—and not just because he married Jane Fonda. Herewith are some things you may not know about Tom: He grew up — and was an altar boy — in the parish of Detroit’s notorious anti-Semitic priest Father Coughlin. His middle name was Emmett, and he later wrote a book about the Irish Famine and Ireland’s continuing struggle for freedom. He said that it wasn’t until he entered Royal Oak High School that he met any Jews. He went to the University of Michigan on an athletic scholarship; he was the most fiercely competitive tennis player I’ve ever seen. He was, in both his junior and senior years at UM, editor of the Michigan Daily, the campus and community newspaper. He investigated the Dean of Women and found that she would notify parents of girls who were seen dating black students and chastise the girls. She was soon fired. He went as a reporter on a trip through the South in 1960, where he was severely beaten at a bus station in Mississippi, an experience that had a profound emotional effect on him, helping him become a radical. He wrote, in 1962, the draft of the Port Huron Statement, the founding document of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the New Left, and of the student and anti-Vietnam War movements of the ’60s. It is still in print and is available online. It is a beautiful and seminal document. There were many academic conferences about it in its 50th anniversary year of 2012, including at UCSB and at the U of Michigan. He worked with other SDSers in the ghetto of Newark, New Jersey, just before it exploded in 1967. He served as one of the honor guards on the train that carried Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s body from L.A. to Washington. He was part of the Chicago Seven, charged with “crossing state lines to incite a riot”—a charge a judge later dismissed on appeal from a raucous, unconventional trial. (A friend, observing that the Seven had been accused of “conspiring” to do dastardly deeds, remarked of the disparate group: “They couldn’t even conspire to order lunch!”) He was married and divorced by age 23 and subsequently married Jane Fonda, with whom he had a child — the actor Troy Garity. (Tom and Jane did not want Troy burdened with either the Fonda or Hayden surname, so they bestowed Tom’s mother’s maiden name on Troy.) He moved to California and, eventually, he and Jane purchased a “ranch” in the Santa Ynez Mountains and founded Laurel Springs Camp for both underprivileged children and the children of activists. He ran, in 1976, in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate against incumbent John Tunney. He lost the election, but he carried Santa Barbara County. Tom was at the election-night party, which was at Harry’s restaurant. He lived in Santa Monica and served the people there as an assemblymember and state senator, reelected numerous times, for the maximum 14 years. He was chair of the Senate Committee on Higher Education.

SPIRIT OF THE AGE: Tom Hayden, famous as a politician and 1960s radical, was also an electrifying speaker.

He attended our sons’ (secular) bar mitzvas and many family celebrations; we attended his last two weddings and have remained good friends with all of his wives — as did he. As a young man, he was one of the most exciting — though not bombastic — speakers Dick and I have ever heard. Almost every time he spoke, I felt I learned something. He had great emotional depth—and could express almost none of it. As a young man, he came to our house in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for dinner, bringing a book that he read as we prepared dinner. At that time, he had strict Midwestern tastes, and I made meatloaf — the closest thing to hamburgers. I told him at the time that reading at a dinner party was rude, which surprised him. He read voraciously and constantly. He wrote many books and was working on his final book about the anti-Vietnam War movement until his last days. It will be published posthumously, titled Hell, No! President Franklin Roosevelt was said to love the following song, written for casualties of the Spanish Civil War. Tom was not exactly a casualty, but he was our comrade: To you, beloved comrade,

Elizabeth (Betty) Catherine Wylie was born to John and Nora Mae Wylie on June 15, 1928, at St. Francis Hospital in Santa Barbara. She attended Dolores Elementary School and Catholic High School in Santa Barbara, and Mt. St. Mary’s College in Los Angeles. Betty met her husband, Patrick “John” Carroll, at a dance. They married on September 20, 1952, at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church. John preceded Betty to Heaven on April 9, 2001. She is survived by her eight children: Robert (Patricia), Diane, Arlene, Sharon, Laura, Patricia “P.J.” (Pat), Barbara, and Daniel, as well as five grandchildren: Kevin, Alek, Tianna, Katie, and Shane. She is also survived by her sister, Peggy Jackson, Carroll inlaws, numerous nieces and nephews, and many beloved grand-pets. Music was an integral part of her life. The sisters of Dolores Elementary School taught Betty to play the organ when she was eight years old. She played the organ and piano for church services and social events most of her life. She passed that love of music on to her children. Betty was actively involved in her children’s schools and served on the San Roque School PTA. Additionally, she was a member of Beta Sigma Phi, Catholic Daughters, San Roque Choir, San Roque Sanctuary Guild and Rockwood Women’s Club. She was an avid bridge player and was involved with many groups. She volunteered her time at St. Francis and Goleta Valley Cottage Hos-

pital, as well as Public Health. Betty and John frequently extended their generosity towards others. The kitchen door was always open to family and friends and was frequently used. There were many times when the kids were told to scoot over for another plate at the table. “Hi Mrs. C” was often shouted in the kitchen. In her later years she traveled through Europe and the Caribbean. She loved watching the waves at Goleta Beach even though she hated the ocean. While mom never developed the same appreciation for John Wayne that our dad did, in her later years she grew to love westerns as well. Betty passed away on October 20, 2016. She was cared for by all of her children, her eldest daughter Diane was her primary caregiver for the last five years. We would like to express our gratitude to Diana Asencio, Maria Lopez, and Deborah Weiler for the loving care they extended to our mother during her final days. We would also like to thank Hospice for their help. A viewing will be held at Welch-RyceHaider Mortuary on Sola Street on October 26, 2016 at 6:00 p.m., followed by a rosary at 7:00 p.m. Funeral services will be held at San Roque Catholic Church on October 27, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. with burial at Calvary Cemetery. A reception celebrating Betty’s life will immediately follow at Rockwood Women’s Club. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity.

Millennial Views the Vote

hen Bernie Sanders came along, I really felt the Bern. He was the anti-establishment, progressive champion that I, along with so many of my peers, had been hoping for. Yet we understood the political dividing lines and just how deeply rooted party preferences are. A fierce progressive at UCSB, I dreamed of radical change only to be faced by congressional gridlock, not work to create a better society. I began to resent twoparty politics, my own party, and the leaders who only talked a good game. When Bernie lost, Hillary left me conflicted, with reservations. She embodied the seasoned politician I had come to resent. But I’m voting for Hillary Clinton. It’s not a vote for party; it’s a vote for progress—not radical, but progress nonetheless. I trust Hillary to uphold what I love about America—most of which Trump vows to take away. A third-party vote is not wasted, but I challenge if it’s a moral imperative. Consider the risk of a candidate as dangerous as Trump. The only true moral vote is for —Lindsay Apperson, S.B. Hillary Clinton.

Big Oil, Big Lie

ommon sense tells us oil companies would not donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to Justin Fareed’s congressional campaign if Salud Carbajal actually favored oil drilling off the Central Coast. Despite misleading claims by Fareed in recent ads and mailers, Salud Carbajal has always opposed it. It’s sickening that big oil’s money is being used to pay for ads attacking Carbajal for “flip-flopping” on offshore drilling. He hasn’t. It is a cynical lie. Don’t be fooled. A few years ago, our environmental community worked on a plan to allow limited oil drilling in exchange for guaranteed, permanent removal of offshore platforms and onshore processing facilities. The Environmental Defense Center, of which I was then executive director, led groups like the Sierra Club and Get Oil Out! in supporting this approach to end oil development. Salud Carbajal supported our work. Salud has a distinguished record of protecting the

Central Coast from the oil industry. That’s why oil companies are paying big bucks to support his opponent. I am proud to support Salud and his long record of protecting our environment. What is Justin Fareed’s record? He has none. He has no experience whatsoever. But he keeps taking enormous donations from oil companies, polluters, and climate-change deniers. Don’t fall for Fareed’s big lie. — David Landecker, S.B..

For the Record

¶ Last week’s news article “Genis Owes IRS Nearly $700K” stated he pled guilty to several counts of federal “tax fraud.” In fact, Genis pled guilty to “willful failure” to file federal income tax returns over a four-year period and to “willful failure” to pay nearly $700,000 over an eight-year span. We also reported the California State Bar Court had issued Genis a letter of admonition in connection with a separate dispute concerning the State Bar. In that matter, the State Bar charged Genis lied in court to Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Brian Hill. Genis denied the allegations. It should be noted that letters of admonition do not qualify as disciplinary actions according to the State Bar Court. ¶ Contrary to last week’s article, the author of Lands of Our Ancestors, Gary Robinson, is engaged, not married, to a Chumash tribal member. He worked for the tribe 2003-2005 but is not a current employee. ¶ In our piece on Noam Chomsky on October 20, we should have said it was Tom Wolfe who wrote The Kingdom of Speech. ¶ To follow up on our “Vets Need Pets” story on October 20, K9s for Warriors’ work extends to California. The nonprofit’s training for vets and pairing with dogs are both provided free of charge at its Camp K9 facility in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Applicants must pay for transportation.

Celebrating Memories of

Lost Loved Ones

(Celebrando y Recordando a Nuestros Difuntos) by Nicole alejandra pierpont

n 2000, I moved back to my hometown of Santa Barbara after spending 10 years abroad in Central America. We returned to our house, which we had sublet, and unpacked more than 100 boxes containing our many belongings including toys, books, and kitchen appliances; there were also family heirlooms my abuelita Mimi had left me when she passed away. Mimi was my father’s mother, and she lost her long battle to cancer when I was just 6 years old. Heartbroken that she wouldn’t be able to see her grandchildren grow up, on her deathbed she inscribed messages on nearly everything she left us — sweet notes professing her love, sharing advice, and wishing us the best in our lives. My favorite keepsake from her was a mid-century book on Mexican graphic art. Her dedication read: “For Nicole, so she can remember her Mexican roots and realize how beautiful it all can be. Besitos y Bendiciones, Mimi.” When I read this, I was sad to realize that I knew nothing about Mimi or my Mexican heritage, but I also took it as encouragement to learn. I regularly flipped through the books she’d left me. I found myself most drawn to the images of José Guadalupe Posada, the godfather of arte popular. The pages were filled with his famous skeletons laughing, dancing, drinking, and enjoying the afterlife. I was especially taken by Posada’s work because I was born on Día de los Muertos. On our first Día de los Muertos back in Santa Barbara, I built an altar for my grandmother, filling it with all the books, photos, and keepsakes she had left me. We invited family and friends to come over, eat pozole and tamales, drink tequila, and reminisce about the people we had lost. While building the altar, I felt a strong connection to Mimi and my Mexican family. Since then, I have built an altar every year, continually learning more about my grandmother, my heritage, and this beautiful celebration I hold so dear. Years later, when I was in my twenties, as I was building my annual altar, I was overcome with the feeling of intense loss. I studied the family photos of people I had never met and wondered what their stories were. At that moment, my mother came into the room and gave me a manila envelope that had arrived in the mail that day from my uncle. I was surprised, since my uncle and I weren’t very close and he had never sent me anything before. I opened the package to find letters my grandmother had written to her family on her deathbed that told of the lives of our ancestors. As I read them, I realized that many of those stories were of the people in the family photos I had placed on my altar. One story was of Mimi’s great-grandfather, Fransisco Leon Tamayo, who had been born in Cuba. He was a wellrespected general in the Cuban revolution against Spain but had unfortunately been caught during a fierce battle and then executed. Before he was killed, he was given a final wish. He asked to have his photo taken with the Cuban flag and that the image be sent to his pregnant wife in Mexico. He also asked that if the baby were a girl, she be named Maria, after his mother. His wife gave birth to a girl, and she was named Maria. His photo on my altar showed his intense, determined eyes looking into the camera, moments before he was shot in the head. A monument was built in his honor in Cienfuegos, Cuba. For 16 years now, I have practiced the tradition of building an altar for my lost loved ones. I believe that it is important to

n el año 2000, regresé a Santa Barbara después de haber pasado 10 años en Centroamérica. Regresamos a nuestra casa y desempacamos más que 100 cajas llenas de libros, juguetes y muchos recuerdos de familia; entre ellos muchas cosas que mi abuelita Mimi me había dejado a mí como herencia después de su muerte. Mimi era la mama de mi papá, originaria de la Ciudad de México. Ella murió de cáncer cuando yo tenía apenas cinco años. Poco antes de morir y muy triste porque no iba a ver a sus nietos crecer, ella escribió muchos mensajes y cartas en los libros para cada uno de nosotros — pequeñas notas en la que nos decía cuanto nos quería, dándonos consejos y deseándonos lo mejor en nuestras vidas. Mi recuerdo favorito que ella me dejó es un libro de los años 50 sobre el taller de las artes gráficas mexicanas, su dedicación dice así: “Para Nicole, para que se recuerde de sus raíces Mexicanas y para que realiza como bello es. Besitos y Bendiciones, Mimi.» Cuando yo leí esta dedicatoria, me dí cuenta que yo no sabía casi nada sobre Mimi y mis raíces mexicanas; por eso decidí aprender y buscar respuestas e información. Regularmente yo me ponía leer los libros que Mimi me dejó. Uno de mis recuerdos favoritos era un libro de José Guadalupe Posada. Entre sus páginas encontré Catrinas y Catrines, esqueletos de ricos y pobres, divirtiéndose, bailando, comiendo y bebiendo aun después de la muerte. Me intrigo la obra de Posada puesto que yo nací en el propio Día de los Muertos. Durante nuestra primera Celebración del Día de los Muertos al llegar a Santa Bárbara, yo monté un altar para honrar a mi abuelita Mimi, llenándolo con todos los recuerdos, fotos y libros que ella me dejó. Invitamos a familiares y amigos a venir a celebrar con nosotros, comer pozole y tamales, beber tequila y recordar la gente que habÍamos perdido. Al decorar este altar familiar, yo sentí una conexión muy fuerte con mi abuelita y a mi familia mexicana, mis raíces y nuestras tradiciones, incluyendo el Día de los Muertos que celebramos todos los años. Muchos años después, mientras preparaba el altar para nuestra celebración, me puse muy triste al ver las fotos de tantos familiares ya muertos y que yo nunca conocí y pensé en sus historias. En ese momento, mi mamá entró al cuarto y me dio un sobre de manila que acababa de llegar por el correo, me lo mandaba mi tío y estaba lleno de cartas que mi abuela que había escrito antes de morir. Las letras contaban infinidad de historias de muchas de las personas en las fotos de mi altar! Una de esas historias era sobre el bisabuelo de Mimi, Francisco Leon Tamayo, nacido en Cuba originalmente, un general en el ejército Cubano de independencia contra España. Fue hecho prisionero por los Españoles en una de las sangrientas batallas y como último deseo antes de ser fusilado, él pidió que le tomaran una foto con la bandera Cubana y que esa imagen fuera enviada a su esposa en México que estaba esperando a su primer hijo. También pidió que si el bebé era niña, la llamaran María. Su foto estaba en mi altar, blanco y negro desvanecido, sus ojos fijamente viendo a la cámara momentos antes de su ejecución. Los últimos 16 años yo he mantenido la tradición de montar un altar para mis difuntos. Yo pienso que

The

Morrissey interview ThaT Never Was orrissey is coming. If you haven’t noticed, his singer music has been playing with But Yes to even greater frequency in every sleek espresso Día de los Muertos café and cool bar around town as we approach his Santa Barbara arrival. He hasn’t been here in by mitchell kriegman almost a decade. Chances are, like Dorian Gray, he’ll look exactly the same. He’s playing at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Saturday, November 5, in honor of Día de los Muertos, the Bowl’s annual celebration of the Day of the Dead, with Mexican Institute of Sound as the opening act. Morrissey’s loyal, young Mexican “Moz” disciples will surely be there as well as crying grown men and women throwing themselves at him, desperate for one Morrissey hug before security drags them off. It should be a perfectly loaded night for a provocative, working-class Manchester Brit such as Steven Patrick Morrissey to sing. So what should we expect when he takes the stage? Will he be making a statement? Wearing a mask? Ripping his shirt off? Oh, he always does that. I was pretty excited at the chance to interview “This Charming Man,” the notoriously outspoken vegan, for The Santa Barbara Independent—until he bailed, unsurprisingly. After all, the former Smiths singer has canceled more concerts than your dad owns pajamas. He’s still the most temperamental rock singer alive today— today no Oldchella for him, that’s for sure. Despite the lack of interview, here is the Morrissey interview that never was.

You’ve said you never intended to be controversial, but you are. How have you remained politically relevant over so many decades? Relevant? Me? No one could be less so. I don’t believe good people succeed in politics. It’s impossible. All whingebags, actually. I’ve never wanted to be controversial; it’s just very, very easy in this business because no one is. Some people are famous for being famous. I’m famous for being Morrissey. You’ve famously said, “I wish I was born Mexican, but it’s too late for that now.” Why does the Latino audience love your music so much? My dislike for America, and probably my hair. I think Latinos are full of emotion, and whether it’s laughter or tears, they are ready to explode and they want to share their emotion and they want to give and show and show. When I sing, it’s very expressive. So many people make music and tell you nothing about themselves. It’s very regimented, and I think it’s important to be as open as possible — give the heart; all of this is temporary. That said, I do maintain if your hair is wrong, your entire life is wrong— wrong another reason for them to like me. You’ve written a mournful ballad called “Mexico.” What do you think about Donald Trump’s comments about Mexicans? I am very skeptical of a future where Donald Trump is running the White House. On the basis of his name alone, he can’t be allowed to represent America. What does your “chattering mind” say about the future and where you will be in 10 years? I have no vision of the future; I never have. There is nothing to consider other than today. I’m saving tranquility for when I’m dead. An end to interviews would be nice, though, don’t you think?

········

And so the interview that never was ended. Morrissey hung up the phone he never picked up and walked away, preserving the enigma that he’s spent a lifetime creating through sarcasm, disdain, and his inspiring music that transcends borders, culture, and the planet, making him one of the most riveting performers of our time.

What does Día de los Muertos mean to you personally? Día de [los] Muertos for me is very special. It’s a time to be with family and friends to share the memories and celebrate the lives of people who have passed on. We gather to retell their lives, eat the foods they used to like, and, if we can, be with them at the place where they are buried. It’s important for me to create the time for ceremony and reflection, to really connect with ancestors and reflect on their lives and the meaning they have given mine. Celebrating with community is a part of it, too, but unfortunately some people focus on the revelry and aesthetics and turn an opportunity to have a meaningful experience into a cheap theme party. Tell me about your altar. Who or what are you honoring? What themes play into the piece? My ofrenda is honoring the memory of the thousands who have disappeared in Mexico, but in particular the 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural school who were disappeared on September 26, 2014, in Iguala, Guerrero. These students were studying to be teachers in one of the most impoverished rural Self-portrait by Danny Gonzalez areas in Mexico. What is most sad is that their disappearance has been linked to the local and federal government, as well as the military and police, by independent investigators. The administration of Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has done little to find those responsible and bring them to justice. Particular to this ofrenda, people will have the opportunity to take a pencil from it with the name of one of the disappeared students. By keeping their memory alive, we keep them close with us and give their lives meaning. To what extent do you play upon tradition, and to what extent do you strive to innovate or adapt to more contemporary themes or motifs? There are always traditional elements in my ofrenda. By honoring tradition, I am honoring my ancestors by connecting to a spiritual practice that is meaningful and sacred. However, there is always room for innovation and adaptation. That is how Día de [los] Muertos has been able to survive conquest and shifting political landscapes. Culture is not something that is stagnant. It’s ever changing and transforming. For me, as long as you are being true to yourself and your intentions are to honor your departed loved ones, there is always room for innovation and participation.

GloBo-CultuRAl fuSIoN Camilo lara talks

exican Institute of Sound is the creation of deejay/producer Camilo Lara, who got started making holiday “best of” mixes for his friends that included his own creations sampling traditional Mexican instrumentation, song structure, and mariachi by Mitchell kriegman guitars and horns. Those mixes evolved into entirely original tunes recorded and now performed with a live band and vocals onstage, providing compulsively danceable electronica that bubbles up like hot sauce from Mexico’s urban hotbed of globocultural fusion. His other band, Mexrrissey (Mexico + Morrissey = Mexrrissey), has recorded tributes to Morrissey. Politico, the Mexican Institute of Sound’s fourth album, is composed of explosive club bangers that bridge worlds among Mexico City, Tokyo, Barcelona, and New York, mapping Lara’s eclectic musical and literary imagination with a whimsical sense of humor. I recently had an email interview with Lara in which I asked about his music and his relationship with Moz’s (Morrissey’s) music.

Day of the Dead and Morrissey

tribute Band

You are playing several Día de los Muertos shows this year. What do you think of how the holiday has taken off in the United States? Did you grow up celebrating it as a kid? Well, yes ... it is very, very Mexican. There is no way you can miss that celebration. It’s funny because in the U.S., Día de [los] Muertos is all about skulls and cadavers. In México, it is about the beloved who are gone — more of a small tribute to the people you miss and less like “party like it’s 1999.” Given the success of your Morrissey tribute band, Mexrrissey, you’re an expert. Please explain the love affair between a white Brit and his loyal Mexican “Moz”disciples. Thank you! A few months ago, our biggest singing star Juan Gabriel, known as Juanga, passed away. Whenever people ask me this question — believe me, I get this once a day! — I keep telling them that Moz and Juanga are very similar. Both are very ironic, have a twisted sense of humor, both are melodramatic, both play with their sexuality. So I guess Mexicans just connect with that. Plus Morrissey became a sort of fashion icon with the Mexicans in the States, so the combo is irresistible! Moz is our favorite güero! Why does placing Morrissey into the traditions of Mexican music offer such deep insight into Morrissey’s emotions and themes? There is a cosmic connection with Moz music and Mexican music. I think that the way guitars are used can naturally translate into trumpet sounds. And, also, Morrissey is one of the best songwriters of our times. His songs are great pop songs — as good as Gershwin, Cole Porter, or José Alfredo Jiménez [a famous Mexican singer of rancheros]. Morrissey has created pop standards that deserve to be reimagined and absorbed into pop culture everywhere. Your music is international and folk and ethnic and electronic all at the same time. How do you explain your eclecticism? I think the only real democratic place on Earth right now is the dance floor. On a dance floor, you can be poor or rich, ugly or pretty, black or white. If music is good, it unifies the crowd. So why not make music that unifies? It all fits on a global dance floor. What do you think about Donald Trump’s wall? If Trump wins, we will need to build the wall to keep Trump supporters away from humanity. I’m not surprised about it.

keep their memories alive, to reflect on those who have come before us, and to realize that we will not walk the earth forever and should therefore enjoy life as much as we can. As the Mexican saying goes, “In our tradition, people die three deaths. The first death is when our bodies cease to function; when our hearts no longer beat of their own accord, when our gaze no longer has depth or weight, when the space we occupy slowly loses its meaning. The second death comes when the body is lowered into the ground, returned to Mother Earth, out of sight. The third death, the most definitive death, is when there is no one left alive to remember us.” n

es muy importante mantener los recuerdos y memorias de ellos vivas. Tenemos que reflejar y meditar sobre los familiares que ya no están con nosotros. Es importante entender cuan fugaz es la vida, y por lo cual tenemos que disfrutar todos nuestros momentos y familia mientras podemos. Como dice el dicho,“En nuestra tradición mexicana, morimos tres veces. La primera vez es cuando nuestros cuerpos dejan de respirar; cuando nuestro corazón deja de palpitar y cuando nuestra mirada no tiene más profundidad o peso, cuando el espacio que ocupamos en el mundo no tiene más significado. La segunda muerte viene cuando el cuerpo es enterrando y regresa a nuestra madre tierra. La tercera muerte y la más definitiva de todas es cuando todos nuestros amigos y familiares mueren y no hay nadie que nos recuerde.” n

DANNY GoNzAlez Cont’d From p. 36 Tell me about the poster art for this year’s concert, which features James Dean and Marlon Brando. I’m a big Morrissey fan, so I am aware that he has a fascination with James Dean and how he represented his generation and as a symbol of self-destruction. … I grew up in the working-class neighborhood of Boyle Heights in Los Angeles and went to an all-boys Catholic school, and our style of dress at the time came from our fathers and the culture they grew up in: 1950s “Marlon Brando” in progress rock ’n’ roll and low-rider oldies. When my friends and I started listening to Morrissey and The Smiths and saw these images on the album covers and during performances, it only reinforced what we were already doing, but it also made it into a trend. … The decision to make [Dean and Brando] into skeletons came from the influence of Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada. His work during the turn of the last century made the calavera a symbol of Día de [los] Muertos that is still found in a lot of art today. He lampooned Mexican society by creating skeletal images “Marlon Brando” by Danny Gonzalez of rich and poor behaving as if they were still alive. … If you look at Mary Murphy and Marlon Brando, they are both holding loosely in their hands Guy Fawkes masks. The concert date serendipitously falls on November 5, Guy Fawkes Day, and today these masks are associated with anti-establishment groups. As we head to the ballot box on November 8 to make a choice between what I believe to be some of the most deplorable candidates for president, I see no other choice than but to be against the status quo. n

The Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UCSB

Jonathan Gribetz Defining Neighbors: The Arab-Zionist Encounter on the Eve of Balfour Sunday, November 6/ 3:00 p.m. / Free UCSB Corwin Pavilion How did Zionists immigrants to early 20th century Palestine conceive of their new Arab neighbors, and how did the Arab natives make sense of the Jews arriving on Palestine’s shores? Drawing on his recent book Defining Neighbors: Religion, Race, and the Early Zionist-Arab Encounter, Jonathan Marc Gribetz will argue that this fateful encounter was initially imagined very differently from the way it ultimately developed. The Late Ottoman period in Palestine was no utopia, but exploring this moment reveals that today’s hardened dividing lines are far from timeless; they have a fascinating history.

Quick Draw event, where more than 20 artists complete an original work of art within 60 minutes, the Santa Ynez Valley Arts Association will offer a full Arts Festival weekend in the Valley with highlights including a reception at the Elverhøj Museum of History & Art, Bel Canto by Candlelight, wine tastings, a self-guided art crawl in Buellton, and a mural tour in Lompoc.

Jonathan Marc Gribetz is an assistant professor in the Department of Near Eastern Studies and in the Program in Judaic Studies at Princeton University.

a&e | CLASSICAL PREVIEW

A DAte with Danger LOVESICK: Don José (Harold Meers) enters into a destructive relationship with Carmen (Leann SandelPantaleo) in OSB’s Carmen.

Opera SanTa BarBara’S tempting Carmen by Charles Donelan

“T

emptation is present in the music” is how Octavio Cardenas, director of Opera Santa Barbara’s (OSB) upcoming Carmen, explains the appeal of Bizet’s 1875 masterwork. According to Cardenas, Don José, the young soldier who falls in love with a dangerous gypsy, is not just drawn to Carmen’s evident sexuality but also the fact that she is “a person who likes her freedom.” He wants to be part of the gypsy life, an outlaw who “doesn’t answer to anybody.” Although popular culture may have reduced the opera’s two most famous tunes — the “Habanera” from Act I and the “Toreador Song” from Act II—to the stuff of cartoons, when heard in their original context as part of this thrilling story’s relentless advance, they regain the fascinating aspect of dangerous temptation to which Cardenas alludes. There’s a sense of an erotic eagerness for doom in Carmen that translates the German concept of liebestod (“love death”) into a combination of Spanish (the music and the setting) and French (the language). For mezzo-soprano Leann Sandel-Pantaleo, the role of Carmen arouses mixed feelings. “As a mezzo,” she said, “it’s obviously very important because there are only a few leads written for our voices. But as a woman, and especially as a Protestant farmgirl like me,

it’s a real challenge.You are onstage almost the whole time, which is fine, but the character expresses so many things that are ugly and does so many things that are unsympathetic that it can be hard for me to match her aggression and still connect with the audience.” Sandel-Pantaleo cited the duet in Act II between Carmen and Don José as a high point in the drama, saying that with tenor Harold Meers, her Don José, she has enjoyed approaching the scene with a fresh vision. Under Cardenas’s direction, the pair has plunged into the maelstrom of passion without bringing baggage from other productions along. Of Meers, SandelPantaleo said, “He has a lovely tenderness to his voice, and he’s not married to one way of doing things.” Opera Santa Barbara Artistic Director Kostis Protopapas will conduct what is sure to be a thrilling performance. Jeanine De Bique will sing the role of Micaëla, and Keith Phares is the toreador Escamillo. By all means, go to OSB’s Carmen, but don’t expect Bugs Bunny —this version has been built to restore the shock that accompanied the opera’s debut more than 100 years ago. “We are trying to bring the violence to life and to make every character, even Micaëla, come across as realistic,” said Cardenas. So watch out—and enjoy the temptation of the great and terrible Carmen.

OSB’s Carmen … has been built to restore the shock that accompanied the opera’s debut more than 100 years ago.

ConsCiously CreAtive song is a three-and-a-halfminute suspension of the suffering of the world,” said Master Dharma Teacher Dawa Tarchin Phillips in a recent interview about the upcoming Concert for Creativity & Awakening, a benefit for the Bodhi Path Buddhist Center of Santa Barbara featuring Hauschka, The Kin, and Fred Johnson at the Lobero Theatre on Friday, November 11. A night that thoughtfully combines the peace-bringing missions of meditators and musicians alike, it will also feature a discussion between Phillips — who is a resident teacher at Bodhi Path S.B. and director of education at UCSB’s Center for Mindfulness & Human Potential — and Jack Canfield, the best-selling co-author of the Chicken Soup for the IN THE MOMENT: Hauschka’s improvised piano works allow Soul series and The Success Principles, listeners to focus on how the piece unfolds moment to about the role of creativity in awak- moment. ening and the experience of shared in a place where you’re bigger than anything consciousness.

MUSICAL MESSENGER: The weekend’s joy will carry over into Monday when DJ Raf delivers his good vibes to the Mercury Lounge for his “Sunday on a Monday” vinyl set.

Monday Funday by Richie DeMaria SPINNING AND CONNECTING: Workers of the world, dread Monday no more. On Monday, November 7, DJ Raf hosts “Sunday on a Monday” at the Mercury Lounge in Goleta (5871 Hollister Ave., Goleta), where he will splash some much-needed energized positivity upon the often-meddling nocturnal hour that sleepily kicks off each week. DJ Raf is the friendly face otherwise known as Rafaell Rozendo, the Santa Barbara native who can be seen fixing bikes at Bici Centro and be heard hosting a Sunday-morning radio slot on KCSB 91.9 from 9-11 a.m., as well as soothingly thumbing an upright bass with Erisy Watt (who plays at Sama Sama Kitchen on December 11 for an EP release show). Raf’s aim with the Monday vinyl set is to redeem a day that many approach with a routine sense of disappointment. “I want it to be a local thing to recapture the beginning of the week and let some Sunday into your Monday,” he said. “Remember how you felt Sunday? Why not do something on Monday that makes you feel the same way? How can you just sit idly by and let your day suck? You have more agency than that.” Fortunately, the sound of deep reggae cuts and South American jams wafting over the cozying living-roomlike beer-and-wine den of the Mercury Lounge is so enticing as to be almost effortless—little agency is required to turn your Monday night around. Musically, DJ Raf enjoys bridging connections between geographies, finding coincidences and common wavelengths among musicians playing in different parts of the world in different eras. Spinning sounds from Central and South America with highlife Afrobeat, he crafts groovy sets that feel comfortably familiar even if they come from cultures exotic to ours.“I’m usually looking for similar sounds from different places, trying to curate this feel-good groove, finding connections between different places that have the same mood,” he said. In netting disparate geographies, he brings people and moods together, building a tuneful trail from continent to continent, culture to culture. “I always try to play stuff that might feel familiar, but it’s something that you haven’t heard, a tone that you remember hearing but you didn’t have enough of it,” he said. He calls his radio program the Groove Ship, a vessel where everyone can get onboard and feel the groove together. A philosopher at heart, Raf studied epistemology at Gordon College as a philosophy/biology double major, wherein he postulated the difference between what we know and what we don’t know, between truth and beliefs. He said working at Bici Centro allows him to apply the abstraction of knowledge to the empowerment of practical tools; he helps others be knowledgeable of their forms of transport and in turn helps create and promote a wider knowledge of an alternative transportation infrastructure and the possibility for a world with more bike riders. So if you’ve known Monday to be a drag, let your hair down and reconsider what you’ve known about Monday nights. Starting this Monday and continuing as a monthly repeat, DJ Raf will help spin your perspective into one that helps you begin the week with joy. START THE WEEK WITH A BAND: Of course, Monday would not be such a Monday if not for the preceding weekend, which always gets us so tantalizingly excited to be alive. If you’re looking to start off your week with a new band and a fresh start, consider going to the Funzone (226 S. Milpas St.) on Saturday, November 5, at 8 p.m., when the East Beach Batting Cages venue is hosting its Fall 2016 Band Lottery, where you can meet like-minded people n and find others who are hoping to launch their music dreams.

glen PhilliPs,

he first 50 pages of Colson Whitehead’s new novel, The Underground Railroad, contain the most unremittingly grim portrayal of slavery since Toni Morrison’s Beloved — more so, perhaps, as Whitehead avoids Morrison’s high-flown (and occasionally distracting) literary language. However, while Whitehead’s readers may be wondering if they can bear the next inequity visited upon the novel’s indomitable protagonist, Cora, they may also be thinking: How can American authors write about any subject other than slavery? After all, willful forgetting of slavery’s legacy allows for such dizzyingly ahistorical statements as Donald Trump’s comment in September that “our AfricanAmerican communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they’ve ever been in before. Ever, ever, ever.” Not surprisingly, Whitehead chooses not to sustain the agonies of the opening pages — the novel would probably have been impossible to read if he had. Instead, the book becomes an alternative history, with a touch of magical realism. The actual 19th-century Underground Railroad is transformed into a literal network of tracks running beneath America in a “gigantic tunnel … twenty feet tall, walls lined with dark and light colored stones in an alternating pattern.” In the imagined world of the novel, each Southern state is its own microcosm: South Carolina is an apparent beacon of relative enlightenment, although Cora soon realizes something sinister lurks in its placid paternalism; there is nothing subtle about the horrors of North Carolina, which manages to outdo the violence of Cora’s home state of Georgia; and Tennessee is a virtual wasteland. Not every white Southerner in The Underground Railroad is evil, but “the peculiar institution” itself is so malignant that it infects everyone and everything it touches. While some readers might fault Whitehead for using fantasy to dodge the full monstrosity of slavery, The Underground Railroad’s unlikely premise makes it all the

n a recent interview with The Santa Barbara Independent, singer/songwriter Glen Phillips said, “[There are a lot of people] who deal with loss and shame and who want to feel like they can find their way back to their center and optimism. Some people feel less alone by hearing about the struggle.” Swallowed by the New, released in October and Phillips’s first solo album in eight years, addresses that struggle head-on in this stunning 11-song offering. Sonically, Phillips dabbles with myriad genres to great effect. The album opens with the metaphorical love song “Go,” which immediately hooks listeners in with a catchy beat and strong, emotive vocals. Gears change with the pop-rock numbers “Baptistina” and “Amnesty” and shift again with the slow burn of “There’s Always More” and the gospeltinged “Held Up.” Both “The Easy Ones” and “Grief and Praise” showcase poetic, thoughtful lyrics sung to gorgeous melodies. Although the tunes range musically, there is a lyrical through-thread of reflection and rumination, of a newly discovered consciousness, of questions with answers still in the ether, that keeps the record cohesive. The end result is an astute array of songs that offer both aural surprises and keen introspection. —Michelle Drown

seductive “I’ve Got to See You Again,” until her band came onstage to play “Out on the Road” from 2012’s Little Broken Hearts. Her silky voice, enchanting piano prowess, and charisma gave new meaning to the radio hits “Sunrise” and “Come Away with Me.” Jones offered a bit of comic relief when she and the audience sang “Happy Birthday” to bass player Josh. She also won over the crowd with her politically savvy tune “My Dear Country,” reimagining the lyrics to address the upcoming presidential election. After coyly implying nobody has ever gotten engaged to her music, a couple from the first row slow-danced to the tune of “Don’t Know Why” in a powerful display of her role in romantic relationships in the past decade. With poise and wit, Jones delivered a dazzling set of songs that fans know and love and introduced music from her new album, Day Breaks, proving that she hasn’t lost her original charm but still has a few musical tricks in her little broken heart. — Savanna Mesch

t was a packed house at the Arlington Theatre as pop-rock legends Jimmy Eat World played an intimate show Friday night. English newcomers The Hunna warmed up the crowd with high-energy rock music and youthful energy. The audience danced along to At the Arlington the band’s catchy tunes Theatre, Fri., and made clear that this Oct. 28. won’t be the band’s only visit to town.“It’s fucking beautiful, man,” said frontman Ryan Potter. “You don’t get this in England. I think we were born for Cali.” Next up was Jimmy Eat World, and although they have been performing for more than two decades, they still know how to resonate with fans — whether they are preteens first discovering the band or lifelong listeners. “We’ve been a band for a real long time and really appreciate your support,” said lead guitarist Jim Adkins. “From playing for punk asses in Goleta to this.”Adkins was enamored by the enthusiastic crowd:“You guys seriously don’t know how it feels to be here, looking at this [packed house],” he said. The band played songs from its new album, Integrity Blues, and tracks dating back to 1999, each played with meticulous precision and rock ’n’ roll ferocity. The intimate feel of the venue added a special element to the show — without a mosh pit, fans were able to appreciate the music and watch the spectacle without frivolous distractions.

f you seek a comfortable position from which to judge the best guitar playing in the world, then Santa Barbara’s Lobero Theatre makes a logical choice. Apart from the pulling and hauling of reputation in the bigger cities, we At the Lobero enjoy an extraordinarily Theatre, Fri., privileged view of the field Oct. 28. when it comes to the world’s best guitar players. Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Richard Thompson, and Derek Trucks have all played the wonderfully intimate Lobero within the past few years, and on Friday night, October 28, the familiar faces of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet (LAGQ) were there to announce that when it comes to jazz guitar, there’s a new group in town. Not that we aren’t familiar with these guys —they’ve been holding guitar festivals and performing with the Santa Barbara Symphony for years, and they chose Santa Barbara and then-Montecito resident John Cleese (as storyteller) for the premiere of their innovative program of words and music from the work of Cervantes, The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote. But, as was noted at the outset of this particular performance by Matt Greif, this was the first time that the group has played in Santa Barbara as part of a jazz series, and the occasion was the unveiling of a six-part suite written especially for the LAGQ by Pat Metheny and titled “Road to the Sun.” Jazz or not, the music was out of this world. The LAGQ’s fine balance of virtuosity and restraint allows them to highlight what’s at the heart of any great quartet — no matter the instruments — which is how the musicians listen to and respond to one another. The entire second set was devoted to jazz, beginning with pieces by Miles Davis (“Blue in Green”) and John Coltrane (“Giant Steps”) before diving into the glorious Metheny composition, which was unquestionably the highlight of the night. —Charles Donelan

WestWOrld

f course it’s impossible to predict Westworld’s arc, its maker’s intentions, or even what might happen in this year’s 10-episode season, but at last, after the third installment, it finally feels like something complex and intellectually chewy will take place in HBO’s new flagship series. Based loosely on the mediocre 1973 Michael Crichton film about scary theme park immersion in an automated Wild West, the first two installments of the remake weren’t much more than expositions for a procedural. A day (or two) in the “lives” of a number of characters who populate the futuristic theme park —though we never actually learn when and where the action takes place—reveals a pattern of repeated moves by the robot “hosts,” and some surprising improvisations. Real people come and go, too, in the spectacular settings, a distillation of John Ford’s Monument Valley with a lab underneath it—like The Cabin in the Woods on a massive scale. We quickly discover that it’s hard to sort out the grouchy real people from the automatons whose complex programming seems ripe to spill over into actual consciousness. And after a few episodes, that seems to be the point. The best characters thus far are two robots and three humans—though many more creatures wildly emote around them. On the robotic level is a sort-of couple: Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood), a sexy yet prim rancher’s daughter doomed to a violent-ending plot, and Teddy Flood (James Marsden), a psychologically self-tortured hero who sometimes saves Dolores. His backstory, it seems, has been left vague by the prime makers who are (chiefly) Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright) and Dr. Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins), both with swirly dark pasts of their own. Just outside these sets are Maeve Millary (Thandie Newton), a B-girl bot who seems to be waking up on her own, and Theresa

Cullen (Sidse Babett Knudsen), an administrator held in thrall by some mysterious drive we don’t yet get. And then comes Ed Harris as the Man in Black standing in for the movie’s Yul Brynner malignancy. Who knows what he is? As story paths wear like dusty trails, we learn that Dr. Ford has unleashed an experiment that makes the hosts look like they are perpetually pondering some big question. Apparently, though, it works. Old programs rub up against new stories, and the robots are getting restless. That stuff is pretty fun, though the suspense isn’t exactly vibrant. I get a nagging feeling that the writers just stepped out of an academic seminar on narrative and trauma, and it feels as if the show is being pitched to grad students instead of sci-fi fans. It’s beautiful, violent, and complicated, but there’s little to suggest this might catch the public imagination like Game of Thrones has done. Westerns are usually about death, from tombstone shootouts to riding into the West. But moving toward some consciousness apocalypse isn’t quite the same thing as gunslinger reckonings, and the high noon we’ll get in Westworld isn’t Boot Hill—it’s the scary future. —D.J. Palladino

a&e | FILM & TV cont’d from p. 73 Trolls (92 mins., PG) The popular dolls come to life on celluloid in this animated musical comedy, with voices by Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, and Zooey Deschanel, among others. Fairview (2D and 3D)/

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

Fiesta 5 (2D and 3D)

screenIngs O Tampopo (114 mins., NR) A deliciously bizarre delight, made in 1985 by the late Japanese director Jûzô Itami, Tampopo returns to the big screen — its proper venue and menu. Itami, a light-fingered social satirist with a taste for filmic reference and taboo-baiting (his earlier success was The Funeral), takes on the general topography of eating (verging on food porn in loving, seemingly aromatic closeups and classic foodie sex scenes), cinema, and social pretensions, with touches of gangsterism. At the sweet center is Tampopo (“Dandelion,” played by Nobuko Miyamoto, Itami’s wife and frequent star), a ramen shop owner, budding artiste, and samurai-like apprentice. There’s still nothing quite like this dish of a film; bless its savory sass. (JW) Sun.-Wed., Nov. 6-9, Riviera

nOW sHOWIng The Accountant (128 mins., R) Ben Affleck stars in this crime thriller about a forensic accountant who uses his savant-like mathematical skills to cook the books for criminal organizations. Life gets dicey when a Treasury agent (J.K. Simmons) closes in on his dodgy dealings. John Lithgow and Anna Kendrick also star. Camino Real/Metro 4

O Aquarius (142 mins., NR) As a 65-year-old widow fighting develdevel opers from taking over her condo on the beach in Recife, Brazil, Sonia Braga embodies a raw dignity with shockingly honest precision that keeps her family, and the film, on point as she drives the story to its inevitable, surprising conclusion. The film displays both a cutting contempt for scoundrels and unexpected compassion for everybody else. Here is Brazil, our mirror image, with all the sex, music (opening with Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls”), diversity, modernity, and obsolescence that we have come to expect, minus the touristy frills. Thank you, Sonia, for continuing to lift our spirits. (JK) Plaza de Oro

Aquarius Deepwater Horizon (107 mins., PG-13) Mark Wahlberg stars as Mike Williams in this biographical thriller about the 2010 explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that killed 11 employees and spewed petroleum from the sea floor for 87 days. Metro 4

A Man Called Ove (116 mins., PG-13) This dramedy out of Sweden tells the story of Ove, a grumpy man who doesn’t get along with anyone in his neighborhood. Then new neighbors move in across the street, and an unexpected friendship is kindled. Plaza de Oro

Denial (110 mins., PG-13) Denial, a historical drama about Deborah Lipstadt’s agonizing legal battle with Holocaust denier David Irving, provokes questions about the malleability of free speech, truth, and history. The film gets off to a slow beginning but shows potential when the two meet in court. Rachel Weisz, Timothy Spall, and Tom Wilkinson give the film the intensity one would expect from a drama, but it lacks an element of surprise and mystery. (SM) Plaza de Oro Desierto (94 mins., R) Gael García Bernal and Jeffrey Dean Morgan star in this dramatic thriller about a group of people attempting to cross the Mexican border into the United States, and who tangle with a merciless border vigilante. Fiesta 5 The Girl on the Train (112 mins., R) In this film based on the best-selling novel of the same name, Emily Blunt brings protagonist Rachel Watson to life in a mystery about an alcoholic who thinks she’s witnessed a murder during her train ride into the city. Fiesta 5 Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (118 mins., PG-13)

In this sequel, Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) returns to his old military unit headquarters only to find that he’s been accused of a murder that occurred 16 years ago. Reacher must untangle and expose the government conspiracy to clear his name.

O Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (127 mins., PG-13) At last, a movie for kids and teens that shows the world in its weirdness. Here, there are peculiar children with ravenous mouths on the backs of their heads and eyeless youths who die mysteriously while time-traveling Nazi bombs fall. Aesthetically, the movie is well-made and tailored to Tim Burton’s whimsy, and lead actor Asa Butterfield makes a great brooding teen. It’s a fine fable, and more imaginative than most recent movies for this demographic. (RD) Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of novembeR 3 ARIES

CANCER

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19): I am in awe of your headfirst, charge-forward, no-distractions approach. In fact, I aspire to incorporate more of the Aries-style directness into my own repertoire. But I also love it when, on rare occasions, you flirt with a more strategic perspective. It amuses me to see you experimenting with the power of secrets. Your wisdom often grows at an expedited rate when you get caught up in a web of intrigue that exposes you to dark joys and melodramatic lessons. During times like these, you feel fine about not having everything figured out, about not knowing the most straightforward route to your destination. You allow the riddles and enigmas to ferment as you bask in the voluptuous ambiance of the Great Mystery. Now is such a time.

(June 21 - July 22): Is it possible that you might flourish as a top dog after all the work you’ve put in as an underdog? Can you wean yourself from the worried fantasy that you’ve got endless dues to pay and then harness your imagination to expand your confidence and build your clout? I believe you can. And in the coming weeks, I will unleash a flood of prayers to the Goddess of Holy Reversals, asking her to assist you. Now please repeat after me: “I am a creative force of nature. I am a strong song of liberation. I am a wise animal with direct access to my primal intelligence.”

Libras from other countries may not reach that heady level, but many do specialize in excessive politeness. (I should know, as I have three planets in Libra in my natal chart.) But in accordance with the astrological indicators, I am authorizing you to be a bit less courteous and solicitous than usual in the next two weeks. Don’t go overboard, of course. But allowing yourself some breathing room like this will help you get more rigorous access to your authentic, idiosyncratic, soulful urges — which will be very tonic.

you also have the responsibility to answer and correct for any carelessness you have allowed to affect your efforts during the previous 11 months. Don’t worry, dear. My sense is that the goodies and successes far outnumber and overshadow the questionable decisions and failures. You have ample reasons to celebrate. But I hope you won’t get so caught up in your rightful exaltation that you’ll neglect the therapeutic atonements.

SCORPIO

LEO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Until 2007, Scotland’s official slogan was “Scotland, the Best Small Country in the World.” Deciding that wasn’t sufficiently upbeat, the government spent $187,000 on a campaign to come up with something better.“Home of Golf” and “Home of Europe’s Fastest Growing Life Sciences Community” were among the proposed phrases that were rejected. The ultimate choice: “Welcome to Scotland.” I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because you’re in a favorable phase to rebrand yourself. But I hope you will be more daring and imaginative than Scotland. How about “Smolderingly Alarmingly Brilliant”? Or maybe “Safely Risky and Unpredictably Wise” or “Home of the Best Secrets Ever”?

(Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Like England and Spain, the Netherlands has a royal family, including a king, queen, prince, and princesses. They’re an egalitarian bunch. The young ones attend public schools, and the previous queen’s birthday is celebrated with a nationwide flea market. The king’s crown is attractive but quite economical. Its pearls are fake, and other “jewels” are made of glass, colored foil, and fish scales. In accordance with the astrological omens, I propose that you create a regal but earthy headpiece for yourself. It’s high time for you to elevate your self-worth in an amusing and artful way. What fun and funky materials will you use in your homemade crown?

TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): I am pleased to inform you that at least 30 percent of what you think you know about love and lust is too prosaic. Probably too narrow and constrained, as well. But here’s the good news: As soon as you agree to relinquish the dull certainty of that 30-plus percent, you will open yourself to a surge of fresh teachings. And soon, I expect, dewy throbs and hot flows will awaken in all the erotic parts of your body, including your heart, brain, and soul. If you’re brave enough to respond, generous lessons in intimacy will keep you entertained for weeks.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Over the last two decades, wellmeaning Westerners have donated a profusion of clothes to low-income folks in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Kind and magnanimous, right? Yes, but their largesse has had an unintended consequence: the demise of the textile industry in those African countries. With this as a cautionary tale, I’m asking you to take inventory of your own acts of benevolence and charity. Are they having effects that you approve of? If not completely, how could you adjust the way you give your gifts and bestow your blessings? Homework: Compose a sincere prayer in which you ask for something you think you’re not supposed to. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.

(July 23 - Aug. 22): The next two weeks could be smooth, peaceful, and bland. Is that the experience you want? Mild satisfactions, sweet boredom, and slow progress? There’s nothing wrong with any of that. Please feel free to loll and loaf as you explore the healing charms of laziness. Grant yourself permission to avoid conflict and cultivate sunny self-protectiveness. This is one of those times when silence and stasis are among the best gifts you can give yourself. Welcome the rejuvenating power of emptiness!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): It’s time to replace banged-up, dried-out old obsessions with ripe, juicy fascinations. It’s your duty to phase out numbing traditions and deadening habits so as to make room for exciting new rituals, customs, and sacraments. Can you summon the electric willpower to shed influences that are technically “correct” but lacking in soulfulness? I think you can. Do you love yourself enough to forswear pretty but meaningless titillations? I think you do. Now get out there and do the hard work necessary to bring more serious fun into your life. Homework: Write an essay titled “What I Can Do to Be More Playful.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): Over the course of his or her life, the average British person says “sorry” on more than 90,000 occasions. The typical Libran Brit probably utters routine apologies upward of 120,000 times.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): I cheer you on as you attend to your difficult but holy duties. I send you my love as you summon the wisdom and resourcefulness you need to weather the gorgeous storm. Here are clues that might be useful: Whether you are partially or totally victorious will depend as much on the attitude you hold in your heart as on your outward behavior. Be grateful, never resentful, for the interesting challenges. Love your struggles for the new capacities they are building in you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): The coming weeks constitute the harvest phase of your personal cycle. That means you have the pleasure of gathering in the ripe rewards that you have been cultivating since your last birthday. But

AQUARIUS

PISCES (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20): In her book, A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman reports on the eccentric methods that professional writers have used to galvanize their creative process. Poet Amy Lowell relaxed into her work day by puffing on Manila cigars. Novelist Colette plucked fleas from her cat. T. S. Eliot’s poetry thrived when he had a head cold. Novelist George Sand liked to jump out of bed after making love and immediately begin writing. Novelist William Gass, who is still among the living, wanders around outside taking photos of “rusty, derelict, overlooked, downtrodden” places. As for D. H. Lawrence: climbing mulberry trees naked energized his genius. What about you, Pisces? Now is an excellent time to draw intensely on your reliable sources of inspiration — as well as to seek new ones.

Lost & found

FOUND iPhone 6S Plus (I believe) My husband found an iPhone 6 yes‑ terday afternoon while hiking around Gibraltar (2900 bulk, I think). I believe it may have come from one of the many vehicles that has crashed up in the area. The phone has an activation lock on it, so I can’t look for any iden‑ tifying information. I’ve called Apple and AT&T (carrier according to the SIM card). Neither could help me. If anyone knows of someone who was in one of those accidents, or anyone else that this may belong to, and can show them this post, I’d like to return this phone to them. Please reply to one of my many posts on Facebook (SB Lost and Found, SB Free Stuff for All etc.) I’m posting to a few different pages, to spread this message far and wide.
