PARALLEL STORIES

In the Country of Women: Susan Straight SUNDAY | OCTOBER 20 | 2:30 PM This fall, Parallel Stories looks at the power of memory and the family stories that are woven together in the “Homeric” epic In the Country of Women: A Memoir in a reading and conversation with award-winning author Susan Straight. In this ode to what The New York Times called “the entire multi-racial, transnational tribe she claims as her own,” Straight reminds us in powerful, fiercely lyrical language of the grit, hope, courage, resilience, sorrow, and love inextricably connected to our stories. Book signing to follow. Images left to right: In the Country of Women: A Memoir cover. Susan Straight.

Welcome to the Independent! Tell us about yourself. What’s your deal? I was born in Santa Barbara, but I grew up in Seville, Spain, until I was 8. I moved back, and after graduating from Dos Pueblos High School, I moved to San Francisco to start school at the University of San Francisco. I graduated last year with a bachelor’s in graphic design. I actually heard about this job through my grandmother, so I am very grateful to her.

In five years, I hope I’ll know more specifically what I want to do, but I want to get experience in photography and working at a magazine. I think I want to become an art director/fashion photographer.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Check back next week for more of the Santa Barbara Independent’s endorsements for the City Council.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Santa Barbara City Council 2019

ith the City of Santa Barbara’s last odd-year election right around the corner, Santa Barbarans find themselves confronting many uncertain futures all at once. Issues that have perennially confounded us — like housing affordability and chronic homelessness — have achieved new critical mass. Other issues, like the cultural and economic vitality of our downtown, have popped up recently with a sudden urgency. Looming in our peripheral vision are more dire global threats that call into question the city’s water supply and sea-level rise. In other words, lots of big questions. No easy answers. Objectively speaking — it must be acknowledged — Santa Barbara is a well-managed, professionally run city. Our problems, as piercing as they feel, would be the envy of most municipalities on Planet Earth. But the growing level of public frustration and impatience with the lack of leadership and direction from City Hall is palpable. And for good reason. Much of the responsibility lies with the council itself. It’s become a merry-go-round running at warp speed thanks to term limits, district elections, ambitious political career trajectories, petty personal infighting, and the undue intrusion of party politics. Generally speaking,

the councilmembers are all smart, dedicated, and well intentioned. Collectively, however, they’re considerably less than the sum of their parts. Consider this: The outcome of two of the four seats now up for grabs have already been determined because no candidates emerged to run against incumbents Meagan Harmon and Oscar Gutierrez. District elections, we were led to believe, would engender greater choice, not no choice. Both Harmon and Gutierrez were appointed to fill council vacancies. Harmon, who represents the downtown’s District 6, has yet to garner a single a vote in a single election. Gutierrez, who represents the Westside, did run a year ago after having first been appointed to fill the vacancy created when then councilmember Cathy Murillo was elected mayor. Now, with less than a full term under her belt, Mayor Murillo is running hard for the State Assembly in 2020, a seat that opened when Monique Limón, our current assemblymember, announced she would be running for the State Senate. In this case, the game of musical chairs is uniquely discordant. Councilmember Jason Dominguez, now running for reelection in the east side’s District 1, is also running for that same Assembly seat. Murillo and Dominguez have famously feuded on the council, polluting many deliberations with their heat and smoke. The outcome of this one Assembly seat — in which five

Democrats will be running — will not likely be decided until next November. That leaves 12 long months, during which the bad blood that currently exists on the council will only get worse. Oh joy! Exacerbating matters has been the reluctance — or inability — of City Hall’s executive staff to fill the leadership vacuum. City Hall did not create the collapse of downtown retail (online shopping did), nor can it be expected to singlehandedly fix it. But City Hall can — and must — take far more decisive action. It can relieve the needless red tape that is heedlessly strangling small businesses. Santa Barbara’s signature look was not easily accomplished; it’s been protected over time by the focused exertion of collective will, for which we can all be grateful. But for Santa Barbara to survive, we all need to be more flexible, nimble, and experimental in what we are willing to try. Inevitably, there will be failures, some perhaps spectacular. But the worst failure of all is the failure to try. Into this context, voters in two of Santa Barbara’s six council districts have some serious, if imperfect, choices to make. The Independent endorsements will run over two weeks. Here, you will find our endorsement for District 1. Next week, beginning on October 17, we will publish our endorsement for District 2.

District 1

PAU L WELLM AN

Alejandra Gutierrez

Although a newcomer to electoral politics, Alejandra Gutierrez is no stranger to the nitty gritty of civic affairs. She grew up on the city’s Eastside, the child of immigrants. In the past five years, Gutierrez has run one of the most important and quietly effective nonprofits — the Franklin Family Service Center — targeting the neighborhood’s poor and underserved Latino population. It functions as a social service hub, a one-stopshop helping residents access such necessities as health insurance, job training, driver’s licenses, immigration advice, and a host of other services designed to promote scholastic success and achievement as a path to higher education. In recent years, Franklin Elementary has experienced a dramatic upswing in test scores. Helping to make that happen has been the work of Gutierrez and the Service Center.

At campaign forums, Gutierrez does not shine. Glib or polished she is decidedly not. But Gutierrez has a rare connection to the community that campaign contributions can’t buy. That she happens to be related to Santa Barbara Police Officer Adrian Gutierrez — almost iconic in the field of community policing — is a huge bonus. If elected, she will have a learning curve, but given what she’s already accomplished, we’re confident she can find her footing quickly. Gutierrez is running against incumbent Jason Dominguez, a councilmember whose intelligence is exceeded only by a quarrelsome nature. That’s unfortunate because Dominguez frequently asks insightful questions from the dais. We have supported contrarian candidates in the past; they provide a crucial antidote to political group-think. But they must articulate a clear vision. Yet even after four years on the council, we remain uncertain what Dominguez’s agenda is. To his credit, Dominguez hasn’t been coy about his determination to run for other offices. But it’s a problem. Dominguez is running for the State Assembly at the same time he’s seeking reelection to the city council. That election takes place in March. Should he make the runoff in November — which is entirely likely — that level of distraction will leave residents of District 1 and the entire city poorly served. We urge a vote for Alejandra Gutierrez. N

CANNABIS

Hemp Hovers on Horizon

CITY The battle between Eastside residents and the Salvation Army continued on 10/7 when residents swarmed an Architectural Board of Review (ABR) hearing on the nonprofit’s plan to build homeless housing on Alisos Street. The conceptual review hearing is the first step in getting the project approved. The ABR ultimately found the Salvation Army’s design deficient and voted for the architect to revise it before coming back.

Opportunity, Trouble, and Confusion Ahead as New Cash Crop Approaches Starting Gate by Nick Welsh s the county supervisors continue to choke on secondhand political smoke generated by Santa Barbara’s emergent cannabis industry, county regulators are bracing for a new onslaught of interest in the cultivation of hemp, which the federal government legalized for commercial purposes a year ago. Before that, it was classified as a dangerous Schedule I drug like heroin or LSD. Hemp is virtually identical to cannabis, except it has much lower amounts of psychoactive THC compounds. As a designated agricultural product, hemp is not subject to the same oversight and restrictions as cannabis. To date, 77 would-be operators have already expressed interest in obtaining county approval to grow hemp on an industrial and commercial scale. Right now, federal rules allow hemp production only if done under the auspices of a research institution. Currently, there are 10 hemp research operations in 21 different locations throughout the northern and central parts of Santa Barbara County. Longtime Republican politician and farmer Abel Maldonado, the scion of a large family agricultural operation in Santa Maria, and lieutenant governor under Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, it turns out, runs one of those hemp operations. The total acreage of all the county’s current hemp operations is not known, the county’s Agriculture Commissioner Cathy Fisher told the supervisors. Operators, she said, are required only to provide the GPS coordinates for their cultivation sites, and many of those locations proved to be inaccurate. But six of the 10 existing hemp operations, she added, occupy 256 acres. The big question the supervisors wanted to know was how much hemp stunk. “It’s nowhere near as pungent as cannabis,” their ag commissioner told them. Not an especially reassuring answer, given the problems already caused by cannabis odors. Mostly, Fisher delivered an interesting show-and-tell about hemp cultivation in the United States. Presidents Washington and Jefferson both grew it commercially, and until 1937—when hemp was outlawed along with cannabis—hemp seed, fiber, and oil were used extensively in the manufacture of paper, rope, fabrics, and feed.

As a designated agricultural product, hemp is not subject to the same oversight and restrictions as cannabis. counties allow some form of hemp cultivation—Ventura County among the most permissive. Andy Caldwell, spokesperson for the Coalition of Labor, Agriculture & Business, spoke glowingly of hemp’s promise, saying it can be used in the manufacture of hundreds of products and could create a large number of high-paying manufacturing jobs. But hemp can be cultivated by large industrialsized combines, doesn’t need many workers to pick it, and given the shortage of workers and water, it might be ideal for the Central Coast. Supervisor Peter Adam—a rancher and a farmer—spoke in terms bordering on outright despair. “This is going to be a replay of

medical relief. Supervisor Das Williams, who has taken considerable heat from critics of cannabis, worried that noncompliant cannabis growers could try to hide their black-market cannabis in fields of hemp. Who would know? How could anyone tell? A couple of years ago, county inspectors and law enforcement officers harbored such suspicions about a crop Abel Maldonado was growing. In a well-publicized inspection, they took samples. It turned out to be hemp, just as an angry Maldonado had insisted. And Supervisor Steve Lavagnino told a story of some would-be cannabis thieves who mistakenly ripped out plants from a hemp field. “It’s going to be a big bummer n when they find out,” he said.

To raise awareness that HIV/AIDS remains a potent danger in the community — five people died of AIDS and 32 new HIV cases were diagnosed in the county in 2018 — the Quilt Project Gold Coast is bringing back two of the AIDS memorial quilts. From October 14-19, the courthouse will host the quilts, made to remember the thousands who died in the U.S. AIDS epidemic before treatments were developed, and they appear at City Hall on 10/29.

Around 3:36 a.m. on 10/7, reports of a fight sent Santa Barbara police officers to the park next to S.B. Junior High. The man had life-threatening stab wounds and was taken to Cottage Hospital. He told officers he’d seen possibly three men vandalizing the park and told them to leave. As they swore at him and claimed to be part of a gang, they attacked him and then fled. Based on a description of the suspects and evidence gathered at the park, officers state they linked a 14-year-old to the crime after he went to Cottage Hospital with a severe cut to his hand. The teen was charged with attempted murder and a felony gang enhancement. The investigation of the case is ongoing. Leo Burl Butler, 40, was arrested for parole violation on 10/4 and subsequently charged with the assault of a woman who was found on 10/2 along the railroad tracks near Bath and Montecito streets with serious head injuries. A man matching Butler’s description is registered with the Megan’s Law sex offender database. Felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon, battery with great bodily harm, and a bodily harm enhancement were lodged against Butler, n whose bail was set at $500,000.

Census 2020 Issues Loom

s much as $1,958 stands to be lost for every Californian who isn’t counted in the 2020 Census—and that’s for every one of the 10 years until the next census. An undercount would have political consequences as well, including losing a House seat and the redrawing of district boundaries. The greatest issue for the census is trust, said county census czar Dennis Bozanich at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting. Trust that the information residents give stays secure and will not rebound on an undocumented person. Families living together in an overcrowded home have to trust the information won’t reach their landlord, he said. Supervisor Gregg Hart noted that the census count is hard in the best of times but much harder when people are legitimately afraid. To engage county residents, the 92 members of the Complete Count Committee were working with churches, schools, community organizations, and other groups trusted by the Spanish- and Mixtec-speaking communities, Bozanich said. The county would set

up a Spanish-English website on October 15 with the slogan “Todos Contamos / We All Count.” The 2020 Census is entirely online, to begin with. Or people can call a toll-free number—that has access to about 70 languages—to fill out the census orally. Then, census workers begin knocking on the doors of households that failed to fill out the forms. Santa Barbara County has received $354,000 of the $90 million California is spending to support the count—to which 55 percent of people are expected to comply, down from 63.5 percent in 2010. Election turmoil in the months before the census kickoff on April 1 — California’s presidential primary occurs on March 3, 2020—is expected to consume advertising airtime, Bozanich said. And the national political turmoil roiling immigrant communities, as well as the fear exposed in the debate of a citizenship question — removed from the 2020 national census—is another obstacle to a complete count, he noted. —Jean Yamamura

RISING TIDES: According to a new study, the South Coast is looking at “drastic” changes by 2050, with upper beach zones and marsh habitats predicted to disappear. Above, a surfer rides a wave during a king tide at Leadbetter Beach.

Coastal Management No Day at Beach

he South Coast shoreline is the focus of a new study published in the national science journal Ocean & Coastal Management, which provides a rough roadmap for how local governments can help their beaches and ecosystems adapt to the inundations of sea-level rise. The study, explained lead author Monique Myers, a California Sea Grant specialist affiliated with UCSB and UCSD, distills previous data-heavy reports into a handful of take-home messages for city and county planners. The biggest takeaway, Myers said, is that the South Coast is looking at “drastic” changes by 2050. Upper beach zones and marsh habitats are predicted to disappear first as their dry sand and life-rich wrack —where plovers nest and small crabs forage—are smothered by lapping waves. The number of “extremely” hot days will likely double by the middle of the century, the study says, and could increase 10-fold by 2090. Longer droughts punctuated by fewer but heavier rainstorms are also forecasted, leading to “pronounced changes” in watershed runoff. A rising ocean will put locations already

susceptible to coastal flooding during storms (like the Goleta Slough and the Carpinteria Salt Marsh) at risk of drowning during daily high tides, the report states. Skinny beaches backed by infrastructure or cliffs (including Arroyo Burro and those below Isla Vista) “would narrow considerably, eroding on average by more than 25 meters by 2100,” it says. “Without interventions, 50-70 percent may experience complete erosion by 2100.” Beaches with shoreline armoring like seawalls and revetments (Goleta Beach and Santa Claus Lane are named) are predicted to have the most rapid losses. Dune-backed beaches (Sands and Ellwood, for instance) have the best chance for survival, as sand and wildlife can retreat inland with careful management. The conclusions of the study are grim, but all is not lost, Myers insisted. Solutions include removing sea walls, reducing beach grooming, establishing migration corridors for wildlife, creating a buffer for ecosystems to escape creeping waters, and reducing the number of dams and diversions. “There’s a lot that can be done,” Myers said. —Tyler Hayden

Hamster Gets Kids Reading COU RTESY

n a culture inundated by screens, a hamster named Humphrey might be the missing link that can rekindle a love of reading in Santa Barbara’s kids and their families. Megan Bright and Shannon Schroeder, two Washington Elementary moms, pitched an idea for a school-wide book club last year after forming a smaller one with their daughters. The book they picked, The World According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney, is about a classroom hamster and his adventures after breaking free from his cage. “We do family math nights and regularly promote reading at home, but we’ve never done anything to promote family literacy quite like this,” Principal Christina Giguiere said. “This is about more than reading together. It’s about exploring character traits and talking about what they mean.” The kids will read three chapters of the 15-chapter book each week from October 14-November 15. Every Friday morning, each class will play trivia games related to the books, and the winners will get a prize from Principal Giguiere. Many of the prizes come from area businesses like Chaucer’s Books and Kyle’s Kitchen, and others come from the Coca-Cola Company, which also helped sponsor the cost of more than 600 books for all teachers, staff, and the 601 students. The Montecito Pet Shop on Cliff Drive even donated a hamster to the school that looks identical to the Humphrey on the

The kickoff assembly for the program is on October 14. The grades will be divided into 3rd-6th graders, or “big buddies,” and kindergarteners-2nd graders, “little buddies.” Each big buddy will be paired up with a little buddy, to read the first chapter of the book together to spark the excitement and get the program rolling. —Delaney Smith

ELECTION

County’s Top Earners T

he Board of Supervisors on Tuesday moved forward with approving an annual 3 percent cost of living bump to their salaries, which will increase from $97,327 to $100,247. The 4-1 vote, which came with no discussion and Supervisor Peter Adam dissenting without explanation, will also implement a 2.5 percent increase in contributions to their health insurance plans. Back in 2015, the supervisors voted to peg their cost-of-living increases to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Los Angeles–Long Beach– Anaheim area, but cap it at 3 percent. The current CPI is 4.1 percent. Though the supervisors’ salaries will now crack the six-figure mark, they’re less than those in comparable counties, like Ventura, where the board is paid just under $126,000. They also pale in comparison to Santa Barbara’s highest-paid public employees. According to county records for 2018, the top five employee base salaries, not including overtime or benefits, belong to:

CAKE WALK: Meagan Harmon, who represents the Oak Park area and downtown, and Oscar Gutierrez, who represents the Westside, are running unopposed for Santa Barbara City Council.

The Shoo-Ins

by Tyler Hayden hough November is still a month away, Oscar Gutierrez and Meagan Harmon have already won reelection to the Santa Barbara City Council for lack of any challengers. Both have been on the dais only a short time. Gutierrez, representing District 3, the city’s Westside, won a special election in 2018. Harmon, representing District 6, the Oak Park area and downtown, was appointed last February. Gutierrez — a lifelong city resident, TV Santa Barbara producer, and close ally of Mayor Cathy Murillo — has supported and been supported by the Democratic party machine for some time. Harmon — a Harvard-educated real estate finance attorney who grew up in Lompoc and is a self-proclaimed “feminist with a to-do list” — came seemingly out of left field to secure her position. The Independent asked Gutierrez and Harmon by email about their time on the council thus far and what’s coming next. Affordable housing and downtown revitalization were very much on their minds. Below is an edited version of their answers.

What are your district’s most pressing issues? How are you going to address them this term?

Oscar Gutierrez: Affordable housing. We have been addressing this issue by passing ordinances like the just-cause eviction ordinance to help prevent mass evictions, and inclusionary affordable housing for new [Average Unit-size Density] developments. In my upcoming term, it is my goal to increase the percentage of affordable housing. Street safety and wellbeing. I’ve been consistently meeting and walking the district with Public Works to increase the lighting on the Westside and improve the sidewalks, walkability, and intersections….In my upcoming term, I want to plant more trees throughout the Westside, especially bordering the train tracks, to increase the atmosphere of the neighborhood and reduce noise and CO2 pollution. Meagan Harmon: First is the need to ease the housing burden

on working families , and second, is the desire for a revitalized downtown.…We can no longer afford to stop the development of rental units if we want to strengthen and maintain the fabric of our middle class.... we have to build housing in a way that protects Santa Barbara’s beautiful and

unique character.... A significant opportunity to address this issue will come soon, as we are entering the Phase II revisions to the AUD program. The importance of downtown revitalization …is one of my top priorities. Through streamlined permitting, creative use of space, and encouraging new and ongoing events downtown, we will bolster our local economy and breathe new life into our downtown core.

Oscar Gutierrez and Meagan Harmon Talk Achievements, Regrets, and Priorities

What’s been your proudest moment on the council? Your most regretful?

OG: My proudest moment was helping pass the desperately needed 10 percent inclusionary ordinance for the Average Unit Density program. On the same note, my most regretful moment is not being able to get a higher percentage passed. We argued and delayed the decision for too long and decided to settle on 10 percent, but I have confidence that we will be able to raise it in the future. MH: My proudest moment was our vote to incorporate an

inclusionary housing requirement into the AUD ordinance. My regrets are the times that I have failed to effectively communicate my perspective on a given issue.

What do you see as your biggest personal accomplishment so far?

OG: One of my biggest personal accomplishments was that I partnered with our State Assembly representative Monique Limón and helped set up a satellite office in order to help residents get street-vending licenses so they can legally sell confetti eggs during Fiesta.... Also, as the liaison to the Youth Council, I encouraged and taught the teens to produce a series of public service announcements against gun violence and anti-vaping. MH: It has been incredibly meaningful for me to represent our

city while being a working mom to a toddler.…I’ve had many conversations with other working moms who didn’t think it was feasible to run for office but who are now considering it. In terms of my legislative efforts, I worked closely with our neighbors in the 6th District, the Housing Authority, and city staff to formally initiate a conversation about workforce housing development on the Carrillo-Castillo lot.

Shake-Up on the Waterfront

ome have been parked there for years: sedans packed with personal belongings, big vans surrounded by weeds poking through the asphalt, and old Volkswagen buses caked in cobwebs and rust. Though these few dozen mainstays of the Santa Barbara waterfront are eyesores that eat up precious public parking, as city officials and residents alike have complained for a long time, they’re fully legal under the current permitting system. That changed Tuesday with a vote by the council to overhaul waterfront rules so that vehicles with “blue” parking permits — which are $95 a year for harbor slip owners and originally intended to accommodate multi-day fishing trips — can’t “abuse the privilege,” explained Acting Waterfront Director Brian Bosse. Now, blue-permit cars that sit in any of the eight waterfront lots for 30 consecutive days must vacate their spaces for 96 hours before returning. If they leave at any point during the 30-day window, even for a short while, the clock starts over. Bosse explained demand for waterfront parking has grown significantly over the last decade, with the emergence of the Funk Zone, the reopening of lower State Street, and an increase in the popularity of water

sports like kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. The lots have gotten so crowded and backed up, he said, that the city is frequently forced to close them, sometimes for hours. It did so 38 times this summer, generating a “huge number of complaints,” he said. Recent public workshops identified issues just as pressing as blue permit misuse. The oil industry workers who normally park at the Casitas Pier, which has been closed due to repairs, have been using Santa Barbara lots. (The pier work is scheduled to finish this month.) Local tech companies have attempted to secure daily permits for hundreds of their employees; landscape and taxi operators also try to take advantage. Oversized storage vehicles are now more commonplace as well. To address those points, the new rules give the city’s Waterfront Authority the legal standing to approve and deny permits in order to protect public visitor access. They also place size restrictions of vehicles that can stay overnight. Specific exemptions will be made for the harbor lot, said Bosse, including for commercial fishing operations, harbor businesses, and oil spill response. —Tyler Hayden

Opinions NOT APPLICABLE: It’s a sad and sorry matchup. On one side is all the aggrieved outrage of a neighborhood under siege coupled

with more entitlement than my taste buds can handle. On the other is the inexcusable ineptitude of those who mean well and all the sorry uselessness of their best intentions. But the dead body lying on the floor is the possibility of any change in the way we do — and don’t—do things when it comes to homelessness. It’s all over, as they say, but the shouting. Invest in earplugs. Sparking the latest conflagration of excessive human emotion is a proposal by the Salvation Army to install 14 rooms of permanent supportive housing on Alisos Street for homeless people who if otherwise left on the streets will slowly self-destruct at significant expense and inconvenience to the rest of the community. It’s a “housing first” project, meaning you first get the homeless people indoors and under a roof, and then you bombard them with all the necessary services. Not only is this approach infinitely more effective when it comes to turning lives around, but it’s vastly cheaper than the catchand-release mode of managing homelessness. Everyone loves this idea, until, of course, such a project is proposed in their particular neighborhood. Then, it becomes the Night of the Living Dead.

To prevent this from occurring, it was incumbent upon the Salvation Army—which

That Dog Don’t Hunt

quietly does a ton of great work with homeless people without a peep of neighborhood complaint out of its Chapala Street digs—to notify Alisos Street residents, meet with them one on one, and then modify its proposal to indicate that some actual listening had transpired. Sadly, tragically, and pathetically, none of that happened. Instead, the proposal was sprung on the neighborhood at the last minute. The first public “discussion” took place two weeks ago, and by Santa Barbara standards, it was as ugly as it gets. Making the wound even more self-inflicted was the inexplicably glaring omission of any on-site residential management from the plan. Duh! The Salvation Army — which has been in Santa Barbara for eons—should have known better. But so too should have the high-ranking chin scratchers at City Hall. They should have seen this coming and given a red-flag warning. Who can forget the furious backlash that erupted in their face last fall when City Hall announced—at the very last second—plans to build a homeless village of 40 “tiny home” trailers on the parking lot by Castillo and Carrillo streets? That proposal, in contrast to the Alisos Street plan, had gobs of on-site management proposed. As creative and innovative as it was, that project was doomed. Timing is everything. Even so, some of the rhetoric emanating from the aggrieved neighbors has been overly ripe. The Eastside, they complain, has already been afflicted with the MarBorg vast

And now this? When large numbers of human beings get compared to trash and sewage, I tend to wince. When City Councilmember Jason Dominguez, now running for two offices at the same time, compared the housing proposal to a “toxic waste dump” at a recent candidates’ forum, ouch! Another council candidate, Brian Campbell —running to represent the Mesa district—induced considerable whiplash and jaw-droppage at another candidates’ forum when he suggested the Mesa was at risk of “becoming a skid row.”

Dominguez, seeking some atonement, is now pushing the council to figure out a path for other such projects to get through the city’s permitting process. The good news, if statistics are to be believed, is that the number of homeless people in the city and county of Santa Barbara has gone down ever so slightly down in the past two years. But the scary news is that there’s been a 27 percent increase in those living on the streets—or in cars—and outside of shelters. In Santa Barbara, we’ve been wringing our hands over homeless people for so long now our fingers are bloody. Words like exhaustion, fatigue, despair, and futility dominate the conversation. In this context, it’s especially encouraging to learn that the friars from the

It’s on page two of the Salvation Army’s application for the $2.5 million emergency homeless grant it got from the state. When asked to describe efforts to win community support, the Salvation Army replied, “Not applicable.” Based on “initial conversations with the City Community Development Department,” Army brass were confident “no zoning change is required.” Not applicable? How tone deaf can you be? Community support is always applicable, no matter how necessary, humane, enlightened, and essential your proposal may be.

Mary Geraldine Franzen

4/14/1922 – 9/30/2019

The Matriarch of our large family passed away at the age of 97 at home surrounded by her children and family. Mary was born in a house on Bath Street to John and Charlotte Seymour. She was proud of the fact that she was a 6th generation native of Santa Barbara. She is predeceased by her parents, her husband of 58 years, Aloysius, siblings Virginia Dover, Barbara Stauch and Cecelia Beraldo. Mary is survived by her children Mary Green and John Franzen of Santa Barbara, Linda Manke Rasmussen of San Antonio, TX and Kathy Christoferson (Bud) of Los Alamos, CA, 11 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, 24 great-great-grandchildren, plus 2 on the way, in addition to numerous nieces, nephews and cousins from the Dover, Stauch, Beraldo, Schafer, Seymour and Franzen families. Living such a long life one can just imagine all the changes she experienced; the earthquake of 1925, the Great Depression, WWII (she was a "Rosie the Riveter"), man walking on the moon and now our High Tech Age. She was always reminiscing about the olden days in Santa Barbara; fishing in Mission Creek, riding horseback on State St. and family gatherings at Zaca Lake. During prohibition her family along with local prominent citizens made and shared the "fruit of the vine" at the family home known as "230 West". Servicemen were always welcomed for a home cooked meal, music and dance. Being that she never drove a car, she walked or 18

bused all over her beloved city until the age of 95. She was a constant and familiar sight with her shopping cart "hittin' the streets" and sharing fact and fiction to all. She was an active member of San Roque Catholic Church until her death. She was also a 50 year member of the Women of the Moose Chapter 525. She had many talents; she made a museum out of her home with various collections and made a park out of the yard. No one left her home without a gift from either the collection or garden. She was a woman of very many nicknames lovingly bestowed on her. She was famous or infamous for the retelling of old limericks taught to her in childhood. Mary spent her whole life in Santa Barbara attending Garfield Elementary, La Cumbre Jr. High and graduating in 1941 from Santa Barbara High School. During WWII she met her husband at the local skating rink and married at Camp Cooke, CA in 1943. After her children were grown she travelled all over the country to welcome new babies and attend college graduations of the "kids". She also made trips to Canada, Spain, France and Italy. We hated to let her go, but, we smile at the thought of her "hittin' the streets" in Heaven looking for an ice cream cone and See's. Our special thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Kim for her 31 years of caring and in her very last day the staff at Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital-ER, Dr. Daniel Litten and staff on the Med/Surgical Floor, and the VNA Health (Hospice).

Edward Branigan 1945 - 2019

Edward Branigan died June 29, 2019 after a hardfought battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Born and raised in Beloit, Wisconsin, Edward studied english literature at Brown University, interrupting his studies for two years to serve with the US Marine Corps in Vietnam. After graduating from Brown, Edward earned a JD and a PhD in film studies from the University of Wisconsin. Edward joined the Film and Media Studies faculty at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1984 where he taught until his retirement in 2012. His university courses ran the gamut from Alfred Hitchcock to French New Wave to Japanese Cinema. His deepest interests were film theory and aesthetics. He was a prolific scholar, authoring a number of groundbreaking books and articles, and an innovative leader, serving as chair of his department from 1989 to 1994 and later playing a pivotal role in the design and implementation of the doctoral program in Film and Media Studies. With UCSB colleague Charles Wolfe, he was general co-editor of the longstanding American Film Institute’s Film Readers series. Edward was a legendary professor. He will be fondly remembered by the many students he taught and mentored for his unique teaching style, generosity with his time, encouragement, and playful sense of humor. He loved the north woods of Wisconsin, fishing, photography,

reading philosophy, watching sports, and, of course, ceaselessly viewing films. Edward deeply loved his four sons and spoke with great pride about what they had made of their lives; he was also devoted to his parents and frequently visited them from out of state. Edward is survived by his sons Alex, Evan, Liam, and Nicholas; his partner, Ellen Rabinowich; his mother Evelyn Odell; his siblings Will, Carol, Alison, and Suzie Odell; his former wife Roberta Kimmel. He was predeceased by his second wife Melinda Szaloky, his father Henry Odell, and his sisters Lorel Branigan and Laura Odell. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 4 in Denver.

Lorraine D. Wilson

12/22/1931 – 9/29/2019

Lorraine Duffy Wilson was born in Ontario, Canada, on December 22, 1931, and died peacefully on September 29, 2019 in Santa Barbara, California. Lorraine’s family and siblings moved to Los Angeles in 1943, where she graduated from high school and entered Pasadena City College. Lorraine married Lawrence Devon Wilson in February, 1950. She and Larry raised two daughters, Stephanie and Leslie, in the community of San Marino, California. While raising a family, Lorraine was very active in numerous nonprofits in the Pasadena area, including the St. Luke Hospital Guild, as well as serving as an Elder and a Deacon of the San Marino Community Church. During several summers she filled in a reporter’s job writing for the local weekly paper, the San Marino Tribune. Once her two daughters were grown and on their own, Lorraine began mid-

life to search for a career, and she landed positions as an editor/writer of newsletters for the Mental Health Association of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Child Guidance Clinic. From those jobs she moved to Executive Director of the Los Angeles chapter of the American Diabetes Association. Upon moving to Santa Barbara in 1990, Lorraine started a weekly column covering the charity events for the Santa Barbara News Press. She attended and reported on numerous fundraisers, from the Santa Barbara Foundation to the SB International Film Festival, Pacific Pride and George Washington Carver Scholarship Foundation to the Cottage Hospital Foundation. During her 23 years of column writing, Lorraine attended 3 or 4 fundraisers a week, writing columns that described the events and the sponsors who contributed to the charities’ endowments. She was awarded the “Strong, Smart, Bold” award from Girls Inc. for her coverage of Girls inc. and other community groups in her writings. Lorraine was preceded in death by her husband, Larry, and daughter, Leslie, as well as her sister, Marlene. She is survived by her daughter Stephanie and son-in-law Dr. Ron Ungerer, grandsons Andrew Ungerer of Denver, Colorado, and Mark Ungerer (Sophie) of San Francisco, and greatgrandson Ryan Ungerer. She is also survived by siblings Sheila Lagomarsino, Claudette Duffy and Gerald Duffy, and numerous nieces and nephews. The family is grateful for the loving care of Heritage House, Assisted Hospice Care, Dr. Robert Wright and Dr. Robert Harbough in her final three years of life.

The term was bestowed upon him by the 41st President of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush. In the days leading up to the war with Iraq in 1991, Wilson was the primary diplomatic representative of the United States in Baghdad. He was the last American to negotiate face to face with Saddam Hussein before the U.S. embassy closed. At the time, Hussein threatened execution for anyone harboring foreigners in Baghdad. Wilson not only continued to shelter 100 individuals, but he arrived at a press conference with a noose around his neck, stating, “If the choice is between allowing American citizens to be taken hostage or execution, I will bring my own fucking rope.” Joseph Wilson was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, into a “proud Republican family,” as he would say, one steeped in public ALWAYS A PATRIOT: Joe Wilson was the first to tell America the Iraq War started under and military service.

Bettie Lennon was born Elizabeth Jane Sheridan at Cottage Hospital on March 21, 1923. Bettie came from a long line of old Santa Barbara and Ventura County families. Her mother was Mary Elizabeth (Maisie) Lamb Sheridan of Santa Barbara and her father was J. Neill Sheridan of Ventura. Bettie left this world surrounded by family on August 29, 2019. Bettie lived in Santa Barbara all her life in a 6 block radius close to the Santa Barbara Mission. She went to Santa Barbara High School, as did her mother and grandmother, Mary (Mae) Eells Lamb. Bettie attended Santa Barbara State College until WWII, when she lost her pilot fiancée in the war. She then worked as a "Rosie" riveter and driller at Lockheed Vega building the main wings for P38 Lightning and PBY planes. She often regaled her family with her stories of helping Pearl Chase as junior hostess at weekly Officer Tea Dances at the Coral Casino for the officers stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) in Goleta. These young pilots were leaving for the Pacific Theater and rarely returned alive. She especially remembered the Black Sheep Squadron as a group of young men who attended these dances. Following the war, Bettie worked as a check signature verifier at First National Bank. Women were not allowed to be tellers at that time, so the women worked behind the scenes. It was there she met a new teller named Patrick Lennon, who was freshly returned from the war. After a 6 month romance, Bettie and Pat were married at the Santa

Barbara Mission in June, 1948. Pat went to work for the Sheriff 's Office and Bettie was a happy homemaker. She raised their four children: Patrick Jr (Christina), Mary (Brad Shepard), Susanne (David Newswanger), and Lisa (David Irwin). Bettie was left raising her children alone when Pat died after an extended illness in 1965. She then took a job at the County Assessor's Office, where she worked for 25 years. After retiring in 1991, she took care of her aging mother until her death at 103 in 1998. Bettie continued meeting with her friends, the Assessor's retirement group, until a few months ago. She was blessed to live in the same house since 1950 in a wonderful extended family home with Lisa and Dave and their girls until the day of her passing. Bettie was preceded in death by her husband, Pat, and by her beloved sister Mary Virginia Knowles (Tada), as well as her parents. She is survived by her four children and her grandchildren: Erin Lennon (Sophia), Sheridan and Katie Irwin, Ben and Madison Shepard, Sarah, Paul, and Carolyn Newswanger, and two step grandsons, Christopher and Frank (Becca) Noriega and great granddaughter Marisabel. Bettie lives on in the hearts of her family, and will always be remembered for her sunny personality and her open heart. She was loved by the neighborhood children, and enjoyed by everyone she met. A Celebration of Life is planned on October 19, 2019 at 1 to 4 pm at the Masonic Center, 16 E Carrillo Street in Santa Barbara.

21st-Century Transportation

fter an event like the Climate Strike, critics inevitably ask, “How many people drove cars to this event?” or “How many rode their bikes?” All good questions to look at in a larger context. Oil corporations have spent vast amounts of money to convince us that we cannot live without their products. As a result, we have hundreds of gas stations but few electric-vehicle (EV) charging stations in our town and our state — despite the fact that alternatives are becoming more efficient, while their cost becomes more affordable than oil. With more than 40 miles of bikeways, Santa Barbara — highly ranked as a bicycle-friendly town — has a bike infrastructure that pales compared to cities such as Minneapolis, Portland, San Francisco, and Boston, considered the most bike-friendly cities in the U.S. despite their weather. Yet, Santa Barbara is ranked third highest in bicycle collisions due to the lack of safe commuter bike lanes and the lack of automobile driver awareness. We have made great strides. Our bus system plans to go emissions-free by 2030 — 10 years earlier than anticipated. Our Board of Supervisors has likewise voted that our county fleet must go fully electric by 2030, both of which will require greater EV infrastructure. These are achievable goals and important steps, but more is needed and inevitable. Let’s call on our City Council and Board of Supervisors to build a 21st-century infrastructure that includes more electric-vehicle charging stations and a greater network of bicycle lanes. Or we can stay stuck in the past with the dinosaurs, which, by the way, are extinct. —Rachel Altman, S.B.

limate change … high rent … overcrowding … mass shootings … We really need to stop reproducing … wait for it … more and more people. Can we see a little journalism in our Indy about this elephant in the room, the sacred cow, the thing we’re not supposed to say? We really don’t have the “right” to reproduce any more than we have the “right” to pollute. There is no “warm and fuzzy” about the idea that capitalism fuels overpopulation, which fuels pollution, which fuels climate change and other society-related dysfunctions.

Babies? Adorable. But can we slow down the baby factories for just a few years, until we see fewer alarming natural catastrophes? Ignoring this equation is slowly killing us. —LeeAnn Morgan, S.B. There, I said it.

Incivil Aviation

irplane activity has increased dramatically in the past few years, and it’s only going to get worse. The City of Santa Barbara has realized what a cash cow it has in the airport, and the city is milking it for all it’s worth. To encourage commercial airlines to come into SBA, the city waived some landing fees. To encourage private pilots and general aviation, it is reconfiguring its facilities for new, fixed-based operators. Plane traffic starts around 6 a.m. and often can still be heard at midnight. To quantify the noise, the airport uses an antiquated FAA protocol that requires community members to identify a wayward airplane, note the time and location of the flyover (and even its altitude!), and call a hotline. A staff member aggregates complaints by month and neighborhood, then writes a letter to the offending airlines pointing out the preferred noise abatement program route, which is over the ocean and across More Mesa. Unfortunately, compliance with the program is strictly voluntary, and the airport has no way to enforce it. Moreover, the city has a disincentive to censure the airlines it is so desperately courting. The situation is even worse with private planes. Frequent, jarring airplane noise is preventing residents of Hope Ranch, San Roque, and neighborhoods throughout Goleta from sitting outside, enjoying their backyards and, sometimes even sleeping. Where will it all end? Airport officials are not putting a cap on growth — they’re just hell-bent on making it happen.

—Barbara Greenleaf, S.B.

How

Carin Jennings Paved the Way UCSB Grad Dazzled Crowds in Winning America’s First World Cup in 1991

efore Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan swaggered through France this year, before Carli Lloyd unleashed her hat trick in 2015, before Brandi Chastain pulled off her shirt in 1999, Carin Jennings was the most dazzling player anybody had ever seen in a women’s soccer championship. But the privilege of watching a U.S. national soccer team win its first global BY title in 1991 was enjoyed mainly by fans of the host country, China. An obscure cable channel with few subscribers televised the matches in the U.S. It was not until later that FIFA, the international soccer body long ruled by men, recognized that tournament as the first Women’s World Cup. Cozying up to a sponsor, FIFA originally named it the M&M’s Cup. It’s come a long way since then, thanks in large part to the efforts of American women that began three decades ago. What the world saw from Rapinoe, Morgan, and their teammates this past summer was a replication of 1991. Ever since then, a competitive DNA has flowed through all U.S. women’s soccer teams. Anson Dorrance, coach of the team that won in China, called them “college warriors that changed the game.” Carin Jennings was one of those warriors. The ponytailed Palos Verdes native was recruited by Dorrance to come to North Carolina, where he was building a legendary program. But she decided to stick to her California roots and attend UCSB. She became a four-time All-American, winding up her Gaucho career in 1986 with 102 goals, almost twice as many as any other college woman had scored up to that time. North Carolina star Mia Hamm nudged the record to 103 goals in 1993. “Carin was an absolutely dominant player,” said Bruce Fisher, who coached the UCSB women during her senior year. “She was really fast and had an exquisite touch.” She would use her skills to facilitate other players, accumulating 60 assists. On the night she scored her 100th goal, Fisher had to tell her to stop being unselfish and go for it. Players on the 2019 World Cup champion team who most remind him of Jennings, Fisher said, are the creative dribbler Tobin Heath and Rose Lavelle, who struck the crowning goal in the 2-0 final victory over the Netherlands.

World Cup Champs Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe Use Clout to Spotlight Inequality

ne is a self-proclaimed “walking protest” with fuchsia hair who sparked petulant tweets from the president. The other is a vocal vegan who riled up the Brits with her celebratory tea-time pantomime during a July game against England. Together, Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan led the U.S. women’s national soccer team to its second consecutive World Cup win BY STARSHINE ROSHELL this summer — and are hoping to rack up yet another victory in their next skirmish: a battle for equal pay. The California natives and the team they co-captain have enjoyed much public glory as a result of their FIFA wins. In 2015, they were the first women’s sports team to be honored with a ticker tape parade in New York City, which they followed by visiting Barack Obama in the White House. Morgan was voted U.S. Soccer Female Player of the Year for 2018, and Rapinoe was named FIFA Women’s Player of the Year for 2019. Just last month, both were featured in Fortune magazine’s Most Powerful Women in Business issue just last month. Yet despite the honor and hefty profit they’ve brought to the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), they argue that the men’s team is compen-

sated at much higher rates despite never having won a World Cup. Now, with the eyes of the world — and especially those of idolizing young girls — on them, they’re using their considerable clout to bring attention to that absurd discrepancy. In March, Morgan, Rapinoe, and 26 of their teammates filed a lawsuit against the USSF for violating equal pay and civil rights laws. It’s the first time a pro sports team has sued its employer for gender discrimination—but it isn’t the first time Olympic champions Rapinoe and Morgan have used their platform to address or spotlight an injustice. Rapinoe (pronounced ruh-PEE-noh; get it right!) was the first white pro athlete, and first woman, to join 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in kneeling during the National Anthem back in 2016. “I know what it means to look at the flag and not have it protect all of your liberties,” said Rapinoe, who is gay. The USSF quickly issued a rule that its players must stand during the anthem; now she stands quietly, hands clasped behind her. She has also been outspoken about President Donald Trump, telling him, “Your message is excluding people,” and telling a reporter who asked about her team being invited to visit the president at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, “I’m not going to the fucking White House.”

Now Carin Gabarra (below-right) is head coach of the U.S. Naval Academy women’s soccer team, having built the program from the ground up starting in 1993.

ingrained in myself and my teammates that we put education first and look at how to grow the sport. Being a role model is one small part of that. We don’t define ourselves only by being an athlete — we’re 23 completely different women from different backgrounds with different journeys that come together and do something amazing.

With varying skill sets, too! What do you think boardrooms could learn from the U.S. women’s soccer team?

MEGAN RAPINOE C O N T ' D F R O M P. 2 3 Morgan is an advocate for animal rights who tweets about her vegan diet; she was named PETA’s Most Beautiful Vegan Celebrity this year. She authored a series of books called The Kicks, aimed at inspiring and empowering middle-school girls. And when some soccer fans were offended by her pinkies-up tea-sipping celebration gesture after she scored a goal against England this summer, she publicly pointed out the double-standard that allows and even encourages men to whoop up their victories but prefers that women show restraint. You can see Morgan and Rapinoe tell their story when UCSB Arts & Lectures brings the pair to the Arlington Theatre on October 15. They’ll also lead a soccer clinic the same day at UCSB’s Harder Stadium for about 200 girls in the Santa Barbara Soccer Club. Lena Fackler is a 10-year-old soccer player who will attend the clinic and the evening event—and who was watching the World Cup when they clinched their win. “They deserved it,” she said. “They’re really good. They have a lot of speed and really good skills. They worked really hard.” She hopes to learn a thing or two from the champs on the field next week. “Maybe some things that work for them might work for us in our games,” Fackler said. “I think it’s going to be really cool to get to meet them.” In the meantime, Morgan answered a few questions for us on the phone last week.

Considering we’ve been in a lot of them lately … [Laughs.] I think that we have a lot of patience and empathy that we’ve been able to learn through playing at the highest level and having to adjust your game, your emotion, to lift the team up ahead of the individual.

relatability: Girls wanting to feel like I was in their shoes when I was their age — asking about superstitions around games, your teammates being your best friends. …

Speaking of which, how do you and Megan complement one another on and off the field? We’re super support-

ive of each other. We’ve played together for so long that we totally can predict on the field where each other is going to be. Becoming captains together, we had a lot of real honest conversations. We don’t always see eye to eye but feel comfortable sharing our opinions and coming to common ground. Our families have spent a lot of time together, so we almost feel like family.

Thinking back now, can you remember why you started playing soccer in the first place? I joined because my

sister played. I was able to really let my energy go in the sport. It was so exhilarating with the running and physicality.

If you weren’t a soccer player, what would you be doing right now? I have a big love for animals, so something

like helping stray cats and dogs in the U.S., advocating for adopting rather than buying animals, or protecting endangered animals from poachers in Africa.

How comfortable are you in the “role model” mantle that you’re now asked to wear daily? That’s something

good banter, some laughs. We’ll bring up a lot of memories from the World Cup. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Santa Barbara; I’m looking forward to visiting.

You make this equal-pay fight look easy, but there must be moments when it weighs on you. What’s the bigger thing that pulls at you when you think, This is a mess — I just want to play soccer? All my teammates and see-

In a Sports Illustrated “Throwback” podcast, hosted by soccer writer Grant Wahl, Dorrance described Jennings as “one of the most amazing onev-one artists I’ve ever coached.” U.S. teammate Julie Foudy said, “She would just chop, chop, chop through teams, spin them around.” The U.S. women were nomads in the years leading up to 1991, playing most of their games on foreign soil. They can tell stories of staying in roach motels, existing on $10 a day, and doing their laundry in bathroom sinks. A month before their first World Cup, they had a training camp at UCSB. On October 19, a crowd of 3,000 at Harder Stadium watched the national women’s team play a game on the West Coast for the first time. It defeated the Gaucho women, then ranked No. 12 in the nation, by a 10-0 score. Then it was off to China — the long way, from the East Coast, on several flights to save money. Dorrance had his warriors primed. “We went there with the ambition of tearing everyone’s throat out,” he said. They had a potent triple strike force in Jennings, Michelle Akers, and April Heinrichs. On November 17, the Americans opened against Sweden, a team they’d never beaten. Jennings scored the first goal, and the U.S. went on to win, 3-2. Victories over Brazil and Japan set up a semifinal showdown with Germany. Jennings went wild in that one, scoring three goals in the first 33 minutes of a resounding 5-2 triumph. In the final against Norway, another nemesis, the U.S. won 2-1 on a late goal by Akers. After the final whistle, the Americans joyfully swarmed into a dogpile that the FIFA pooh-bahs considered to be an excessive display. Jennings received the Golden Ball as the most valuable player. “If she did that in 2015,” Wahl commented, “she’d be a household name.” She goes by the name of Carin Gabarra, having married Jim Gabarra, a soccer player and coach, after the World Cup. “Every teammate was at my wedding,” she said. For the past 27 years, she has been coaching her own college warriors, the women’s soccer team of the U.S. Naval Academy, to more than 300 wins. A recent 1-0 win over Army raised the Mids’ record to 10-1 this season. Gabarra continued playing with the national team through the 1995 Women’s World Cup, where the U.S. took third place, and the first Olympic women’s soccer tournament in 1996, a gratifying conclusion to her playing career at 31. She was substituted for Hamm in the final minutes as a thundering crowd of 76,481 at Georgia’s Sanford Stadium watched the Americans take the gold medal with a 2-1 win over China. During those years, the women’s team had some battles with the U.S. Soccer Federation that foreshadowed the conflict that’s ongoing today. The players sought the right to secure their own sponsorship deals and to receive better pay. “We had to fight for things,” Gabarra said. “Our team changed women’s sports all over the country. I love my time. I wouldn’t trade it. It’s great to be a stepping stone.” The current women’s national team is taking a big step, filing a lawsuit against U.S. Soccer that basically asks the question, Are we being compensated as well as the men’s team would be if it had won a World Cup? As Foudy put it in the SI podcast: “Our fight was for equitable treatment. Theirs is for equal treatment.” Gabarra took pride in seeing the 2019 U.S. women’s team fiercely and unapologetically take down the rest of the world. “With success comes more adversity,” she said. “When I played, nobody knew what was going on. Now you have everybody hopping on social media.” Times may have changed, Gabarra said, but one thing has been constant since 1991: “The fabric of the female athlete in the United States: mentally tough, physically fit, and eager to compete.” n

HEALS ON WHEELS: Independent Local Hero Claude Dorais and a team of volunteers raised $150,000 for a new American Red Cross emergency response van.

RED CROSS Gets a New Ride T

he American Red Cross emergency vehicle that had served the Central Coast for the past 23 years was literally driven into the ground during the Thomas Fire and debris flow, and the aid agency has operated without one since. That is, until two weeks ago when a volunteer team led by recent Independent Local Hero Claude Dorais and his partner Lynda Nahra unveiled a new, state-of the-art emergency response van thanks to the $150,000 in donations they collected. The vehicle is a multipurpose tool that carries blankets and hot meals and puts Red Cross workers directly in the field. “When a community comes together to help those impacted by disasters both big and small, it is not only empowering but very uplifting to see compassion in action,” said Tony Briggs with the Red Cross. “This funding for a new emergency response vehicle

will not only allow us to be better prepared for disasters but allow us to have a more profound impact on families who have been affected.” In 1898, the agency said, founder Clara Barton used a wagon as an ambulance, and throughout the 20th century, “clubmobiles” made from converted bread trucks, station wagons, and pickup trucks helped support military men and women. It wasn’t until 1984 that standardized disaster-response vehicles were created around an ambulance design. “Our community knows firsthand the value of disaster preparedness,” said Janet Garufis, chair and CEO of Montecito Bank & Trust, which, along with United Way of Santa Barbara County, was one of the biggest donors. “The impact of a new emergency vehicle like this is not only necessary; it’s priceless!” —Indy Staff

My Life

UPDATE

HOME DEPOT DRYER DEBACLE A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece describing my travails with a defective dryer I bought from Home Depot. Here is a quick update. On Monday, a “technician” showed up at our house and spent three hours on our poor dryer. Again, all four dogs were fascinated by him. When he was done, he gave me the startling news that our dryer didn’t work. The control board and ignition system were both defective. I asked if I could get a new dryer, and he simply laughed. “Good luck on that,” he said, but he did promise to try and order the new parts for our dryer, and when he had time, come back to see if he could repair it. He promised this could possibly happen before the end of the month. My dogs and I were sad to see him go. On Tuesday, I finally reached some-

one from Home Depot’s corporate offices in Atlanta. I told them my story and foolishly mentioned that perhaps they could give us a new dryer? Santal told me that she didn’t have the authorization to do so. However, she promised that she’d find out what I’d have to do to get a replacement. She asked me to be patient and promised she’d be back to me by the end of the month. I thanked her, picked up some clothespins, and went out to the back yard. Coming back into the house, I got a call from corporate. Seems my story worked its way up the food chain and they’ve now agreed to send a NEW DRYER to us this week. This shows the sweeping power of the Santa Barbara Independent. Everyone loves a happy ending. —David Obst

CHUMASH TRILOGY T

hree years ago, Gary Robinson published the first installment of Lands of Our Ancestors, a book of historical fiction aimed at relaying Santa Barbara’s Mission era from a Native American perspective for elementary school readers. In 2018, Robinson followed with a second book that explores the Mexican Rancho period, and he’s just released the third, which covers the gold rush and early years of California statehood — arguably the most brutal for the Chumash and other indigenous peoples. A 16-year resident of Santa Ynez, Robinson — who is of Choctaw and Cherokee descent and has worked on storytelling with tribes across the country — recently answered a few of my questions about the series.

What led to this series? Back in 2015, I first learned of the impending canonization of Junipero Serra and heard outrage expressed by California native peoples. I began in-depth research into various periods of California history and listened to oral histories. During that research, I learned of the many atrocities perpetrated on California natives. This history wasn’t being taught in public schools, and the general public was not aware of most of it. So I felt compelled to do something. What do you hope to accomplish with the books? Educate the next generation on the true California history, especially as it relates to the state’s original inhabitants. My goal is to provide alternative educational materials that offer more accurate accounts of the treatment of Native Americans. Why is it important to tell tales in this way? This population is seldom listened to when it comes to the state’s history. Natives have been excluded from the historical narrative. Colonial descendants assume Indians mostly disappeared, or that the master narrative accurately portrays state history. For example, Island of the Blue Dolphins has existed as one of the only fictional historical narratives involving California natives, and its information came mostly from romanticized nonnative sources and rumors passed down through Anglo channels. It turns out that many of its details are wrong. How was the gold rush era for Native Americans? The most brutal of all. The state’s first governor declared a “war of extermination” against California Indians, and the state legislature passed laws allowing natives to be bought and sold for slave labor. Also, they issued bonds to finance the extermination of Indians and to finance militias that carried out raids against natives that lived on gold-rich lands. Bounties ranging from 25 cents up to $5 were paid for Indian scalps. Are schools teaching your books? Several smaller school districts have purchased the books and are using them. The education department at CSU Sacramento also adopted the series for elementary teachers in training. Surprisingly, the school district that has invested most heavily in them is in San Bernardino City. A 4th-grade teacher there told me he had one particular student who usually couldn’t pay attention in class and was reluctant to even attend school. However, when the teacher began reading a chapter a day from Book 1, he said the student couldn’t wait to get back to class to find out what happened next to Kilik, Tuhuy, and the other children. Unfortunately, not all teachers are ready for change. Flipping the narrative is too radical for some because they’re so accustomed to teaching the dominant colonial view. —Matt Kettmann will sign copies of Lands of Our Ancestors on Saturday, October 12, 4·1·1 2Garyp.m.,Robinson at the Book Loft in Solvang.

Close Escapes

Maker Fair at Marymount

HOT SPOTS: The Hatch, above, and the Paso Robles Inn (below), are two destinations of the hipper Paso Robles.

The ‘New’ Paso Robles

n the past, I’ve been guilty of having a PR problem with Paso Robles: PR as in “proper respect,” and lack thereof. I treated it as a mere pit stop for gas and fast food. But that was then, and this is a more enlightened now. Partly thanks to its exponential increase in wine country status, Paso Robles has become a fascinating destination point unto itself. And for Santa Barbarans, the hip, rustically charming city makes for a great 36-hour getaway. My wife, Peggy, and I recently made the trip. First stop was the marvelous Paso Robles Inn as a home base, literally across the street from the city’s large and welcoming Library Park and the easily walkable downtown. The inn is stylish without being pretentious and enjoys heritage points as a modernized descendant of a historic hotel dating back to 1889.

Perched and simmering in the inn’s second-story Vina Robles Spa Room, we plotted our moves and must-dos and quibbled over the virtues and demerits of Yelp findings. For the record, Yelp did help lead us to blissful eats, starting with a super-tasty Paso Cheesesteak Sandwich from Savage Spirits & Deli for lunch. The Hatch, a popular dinner eatery and drinkery, is also a winner we decided while savoring baby back ribs and, with our waitress’s gentle and thankful nudging, the to-die-for side of Maitake “hen of the woods” mushrooms with soy, aioli, and parmesan. Later we visited Eberle Winery, blessed with an expansive view and, conversely, a seductively cloistered wine cellar. Just down the road on Highway 46 is the massive Vina Robles complex, whose tasting operation has been dwarfed by the major-act-drawing,

3,300-capacity amphitheater. Speaking of musical draws to the area, the amphitheater is one, and the midsummer Mid-State Fair is another. Wine is clearly on the brain here, with multiple tasting options dotting the downtown area. But don’t miss the other lures, such as the utterly charming and locavore General Store, and a rare, generously stocked fabric store, Birch. For a spot of history and suds, pop by the Pine Street Saloon, a salty taste of old Paso Robles in the former Cosmopolitan Hotel, circa 1860. Hardy and spiritually hungry souls should awaken early to hit the 8 a.m. mass at Mission San Miguel. This underrated mission-system gem, circa 1797, is an inspiring Old California retreat in itself, less ostentatious and touristglommed than Santa Barbara’s own Queen of the Missions. San Miguel (pop. 1,437) has a sideways, tumbleweed allure, full of vacant buildings and highlighted by the vintage Elkhorn Bar. It’s easy to imagine this tiny town being radically gentrified, à la Los Alamos, in the face of the wine country explosion. All the more reason to appreciate Paso’s historic remnants. The 1907 Carnegie Library stands like a proud, brick-lined sentry of antiquity in the central park. The statue in front does not memorialize some forgotten local dignitary but the great Polish pianist Ignacy Paderewski (1860-1941), first drawn here for the therapeutic effects of the hot springs and later becoming a proud citizen, winemaker (pioneering zinfandel in the area), and Central California booster. Don’t forget to visit the Pioneer Museum, several blocks off the downtown grid. This lovably ramshackle repository of olden things includes a relocated jail and one-room schoolhouse, carriage collection, and all manner of things Paso-historical. Later, on the drive up the winding route of Peachy Canyon Road, we passed the Paderewski Winery on the way to our final stop. The hilltop Calcareous Winery poured us a delectable rosé (yes, those words can go together) and a vin gris guvée and afforded a stunning panoramic view of a terrain well worth a visit. Even of the 36-hour variety. Pass by it at your own peril. —Josef Woodard

Communities Converge for Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley

ine wine has long ruled the Santa Ynez Valley, but the past decade has been nothing short of revolutionary when it comes to dining, whether that’s wine-country-casual cuisine or white-tablecloth gourmet. “Only until very recently, you could come to the Santa Ynez Valley and taste wine all day, but if you wanted a nice dinner, you’d go to Santa Barbara,” said Shelby Sim, head of Visit Santa Ynez Valley. “Now it’s different — even Santa Barbara comes up here to eat!” To celebrate that paradigm shift — and to help fill the seasonal void created by the end of the Santa Barbara Vintners’ Harvest Festival — Sim and his team are organizing the inaugural Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley, a four-day eating and drinking extravaganza that reaches from the public streets of Los Alamos to the private vineyards of Happy Canyon.

CHEERS! The inaugural Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley, a four-day eating and drinking extravaganza, will reach from the public streets of Los Alamos to the private vineyards of Happy Canyon.

Alamos has been our biggest innovator when it comes to food, so that’s why we’re starting off with this dinner,” said Ruse. They’re shutting down Bell Street, and each chef who works a Los Alamos kitchen will present a course for dinner. There will be plenty of wine too! Dinner at 5:30pm; $150, includes entrance to Los Alamos Tasting in Ferrini Park at 3:30pm, which is $25 itself.

“The wine region has been here for a long time, but now we have these incredibly chefs with innovative menus to go with all of the wine,” explained Danielle Laudon Ruse, Sim’s right-hand woman. “Taste of the Santa Ynez Valley is an opportunity to showcase how great their food goes with the wine.” Sim also sees the event, which begins on Thursday night, October 17, and runs through Sunday, October 20, as a way to unite a somewhat fractured community. “Santa Barbara County is more separate than together, and my goal is to show off all of our different communities,” he explained. “So Thursday is about Santa Maria Valley and Los Alamos. Friday is about Santa Ynez and Happy Canyon. Saturday is a hodgepodge, and Sunday is all about the Sta.

CHEESE & WINE PANEL WITH

THE LUCKY HEN LARDER

Cynthia Miranda is a veteran of the Santa Barbara County cuisine scene, having such run trend-setting restaurants as Sage & Onion, Mondial, Quantum, Elements, and Succulent Café, which brought her to the Santa Ynez Valley in 2010. A little over three years ago, she turned her attention to cheese, charcuterie, and other culinary goods by opening The Lucky Hen Larder in Santa Ynez, which also sells sandwiches and caters intimate events. For the Taste of Santa Ynez, Miranda is hosting a showcase of California-made cheeses, which will be paired with Santa Barbara County wines. “People think wine and cheese is so obvious, but it can be complicated,” said Miranda, who recently had to go through 50 cheeses to find some that worked for a winery that made powerful reds. “It’s not like food, where you can take the essence of a wine and work the food around that.” Friday’s pairing menu is still being developed, but there will be about six Santa Ynez Valley wines and six cheeses, mostly from the Central Coast. No matter what, Miranda is excited to show off the range of styles being made in the Golden State. “California cheesemakers have been inspired by their European brethren and are really trying to match that quality and that artisanal, farmstead approach,” said Miranda. “Cheesemaking has blown up for sure, and it’s of such high quality.” Oct. 18, 3-5 p.m., $75, The Lucky Hen Larder, 1095 Meadowvale Rd., Santa Ynez 4·1·1 Fri.,

Encouraging Our Kids to Eat Healthy

Amy Isabella Chalker’s Webinar Series Addresses Feeding Struggles BY MATT KETTMANN Amy Isabella Chalker wants to help. Best known locally for running the Isabella Gourmet Grocery on Figueroa Street for many years, Chalker is now a registered dietician and nutritionist. Starting on October 12, she and Krista Tarantino are hosting a five-part webinar series called Talking with Their Mouths Full that will address feeding struggles in the home and other childcare environments. The online workshop, held Saturdays from 10 to 11 a.m. via Zoom video, aims to help parents and caregivers feed children in emotionally and behaviorally healthy ways while also fostering stronger family relationships. She explains the series a bit more for us below. What are some strategies for developing more varied diets in kids? As an adult, have you ever enjoyed

being told precisely what and how much to eat? Kids don’t enjoy it either! In fact, it can set up a lifelong struggle with food that persists well into adulthood and manifests in myriad ways, including potential disordered eating behaviors. As parents and caregivers, your best role is to provide comprehensive, varied, and consistent meals that include protein, fat, carbohydrates (veggies too!), and some sweets, and let children become acquainted with these foods at their own pace. Studies have shown that consistent introduction of foods that children initially dismiss often ultimately become part of their eating repertoire if they are not pressured (or tricked, manipulated, or cajoled) into eating specific foods, and instead consistently presented with foods they both enjoy and those they do not ini-

Body image is something my 7-year-old daughter is already concerned about. How do we encourage kids to eat healthy but also to eat enough? It is not a child’s job

to be responsible for their nutritional well-being; that is the job of parents and caregivers. It is a child’s job to focus on play, school, and friends, with the knowledge that adult modeling of appropriate food behaviors will serve as eating templates as children age. We’re fortunate enough to have access to daily farmers’ markets, family-run farms, and, in some cases, our own home gardens to teach children where food comes from and how interconnected our food web truly is. These sorts of educational activities are age-appropriate ways to engage children in the content of their meals. Using fear-based “good food/bad food” tactics is not recommended, nor effective.

My kids will eat dinner and then, less than an hour later, they’re snacking again. Is that normal? As a kid myself, I recall eating dinner once and then that was it. When

children are given the opportunity to tune in to their hunger and satiety cues (an ability we are all inherently born with), they will eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full, as long as they are presented with well-rounded meals that include a variety of foods, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, and sweet components. If something is disrupting their natural ability to regulate their hunger and fullness (like fat-free products, skimping on oils and butters, or forbidding the consumption of so-called “bad foods” that children eat), children may lose track of their own cues and eat “mindlessly” when given the opportunity, without regard for true hunger and fullness. These behaviors have the potential to continue into adulthood if not addressed. What do you hope parents will gain from attending your classes? My hope is that parents will recog-

nize that many of their own beliefs, emotions, and behaviors surrounding foods are consciously and unconsciously passed along to children and that bringing these to the surface and addressing them directly will positively impact a child’s relationship with food and body for the rest of their lives.

Fire ant stings are very distinctive, Entomologist Mike Raupp said. Mosquito bites usually go unfelt and only are noticeable when they begin itching. Fire ant bites are noticeable immediately. The bites begin as little red marks that turn into white pustules or blisters, Raupp said. They go away after several days unless they become infected. Some people have died from their bites.

Fresh Seafood

’m a proud meat eater, but for all of the assorted health and

sustainability reasons, I’ve steadily decreased my intake over the years. And as a curious consumer, I’ve also always been open to alternatives, but the options have been mostly dry, dull, and decidedly non-meaty. Then came the next generation of meatless wonders: the Hungry Planet, Beyond, and Impossible burgers (available on the menu at Natural Café, Finney’s, Luna Grill, and elsewhere), the X Burger (whose frozen patties we’ve bought at Sprouts for home enjoyment), and others that do a much better job of holding moisture, offering more chew, and being more, well, meat-like. But I still wanted to work on fake meat with my own hands, to see how much it compared to beef when prepared at home. So last month, when Gelson’s became the first retailer in town to sell the Impossible Burger ground “meat,” I was there on day one, picking up a couple of the $9, 12-ounce packages and quickly heading home for a Friday-night grill session. (Upon running into my boss outside, whose family runs a cattle ranch near Lompoc, I was quickly labeled a traitor.) At home, I dumped the blood-red, slightly gamey-smelling “meat” into a bowl, right next to another bowl where I prepared beef with the same ingredients: a small handful of finely chopped yellow onions; pinches of salt, pepper, and garlic powder; and a splash of teriyaki. Though grainier than the fatty beef (I combined a pack of ground sirloin with chuck), the Impossible patties were quite malleable and forgiving to the onion intrusion, forming into four large sliders with ease. On the grill, they held their form even better than the beef as blood-like fluids bubbled to the surface. After an effortless flip, on went a slice of American cheese (organic, mind you), and then they were plopped on brioche buns with tomato slices, iceberg lettuce, and a little ketchup. “That’s the best non-meat I’ve ever had,” said my friend Sarah, and we all agreed. Discerning palates wouldn’t necessarily mistake it for beef, but the Impossible patties did possess a very meat-like quality, offering savory flavors and a juicy texture that’s all you need in a burger experience. I made them again a couple of days later, wrapping mine in lettuce leaves this time, which only intensified the animalistic experience. Don’t expect me to swear off beef for good anytime now or later, but I’ll be buying Impossible meat again soon, eager to see how it performs as meatballs, as taco filling, in a Bolognese sauce, or however you’d like to fill in the beef blanks.

The Impossible Burger meat is available at Gelson’s (3305 State St.). See impossiblefoods.com.

It also made a successful leap to Broadway and, a few years later, the big screen. The plot revolves around socialite/novelist Charles Condomine, who wants to write a book about ghosts. Under the guise of research, he invites a clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, to his house to conduct a séance. Much to Charles’s surprise, however, the ritual conjures his dead first wife,

Colson Whitehead

THE NICKEL BOYS Colson Whitehead isn’t the first writer to cast light on the notorious Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys in Florida (also known as the Florida School for Boys), a reform school that was a dumping ground for wayward boys, particularly ones who were black, poor, and vulnerable, but his talent for using historical events as a backdrop for his fiction is unparalleled. In The Nickel Boys, Whitehead draws from history that is as welldocumented as it is shocking to tell the story of Elwood Curtis, an earnest, upright, sensible black boy being raised by his grandmother in Tallahassee’s segregated Frenchtown. Jim Crow is alive and oppressive, severely limiting the prospects for a boy like Elwood, who listens to recordings of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches and believes that he can be somebody, that he is already somebody. The staff at the Nickel Academy will do everything possible to teach him that the value of his black person in a white world is negligible. Elwood is remanded to Nickel for a crime of which he is innocent, and his faith in the new day he is certain is dawning for African-American people will be pushed to the breaking point by cruel, calculated neglect and by beatings with a three-foot leather strap called Black Beauty. Whitehead’s prose is muscular, precise, and propulsive. Following his acclaimed novel The Underground Railroad with another equally as brilliant proves beyond doubt his standing as one of the most accomplished and inventive contemporary American novelists. —Brian Tanguay

It’s a moment of pure teenage exhilaration—until the golf cart flips, one of Jo’s friends is killed, and Jo’s comfortable life in small town Maryland comes to an end. Jo is sent off to an exclusive New England boarding school, which contains the usual cast of misfits and mean kids.

In the same way, argues Ibram X. Kendi in How to Be an Antiracist, no matter how vigorously we confront ignorance and hate, we will not eradicate racism because racism is ultimately about power and self-interest. “Educational and moral suasion,” Kendi writes, “is not only a failed strategy. It is a suicidal strategy.” Kendi won the National Book Award for Stamped from the Beginning, a brilliant history of the racist ideas that undergird American society.

He grooms Jo and others with bone-chilling insight, although the even deeper crime may be just how complicit everyone in this confined world is in Master’s abuse.

But Kendi rises to his polemical best when he links capitalism and racism — the “conjoined twins,” as he calls them — as systems serving power and self-interest. “What if,” Kendi asks, “economic, political, or cultural self-interest drives racist policy policymakers, not hateful immorality, not ignorance?” What does it take to become an antiracist? Honest, courageous critique of ourselves and the polipoli cies that prevail in our institu institutions and workplaces, schools, and religious organizations, and relentless analysis of the beneficiaries of racist policies and how these beneficiaries perpetuate racism to advance their own self-interest.

The newer works are consistently intelligent and idiosyncratic; one can imagine several of them appearing as long essays in the New Yorker or Artforum. Donald Shambroom’s “Duchamp’s Last Day,” for instance, catalogs the many connections between life and art at Duchamp’s final dinner party, which included his longtime friend May Ray. Alexander Nemerov’s Summoning Pearl Harbor is only marginally about art but is nevertheless a riveting piece of creative nonfiction. And where else are you going to find a scholarly treatise titled “Pissing Figures: 1280-2014”? Among the republications are John Ruskin’s Giotto and His Works in Padua, which benefits significantly from the addition of color plates showing the frescos Ruskin is describing. Degas and His Model, an anonymous magazine hit piece from 1919, written at the height of Degas’s posthumous fame, has a lively narrative zip. Rilke’s Letters to a Young Painter (the addressee is the controversial artist Balthus) is worth reading, although it doesn’t feature the same level of insight as his more famous Letters to a Young Poet. Interestingly, in this collection of forgotten volumes, the piece that stands most firmly on its own

& ENTERTAINMENT

the first word of the title of Paul Gauguin’s Ramblings of a Wannabe Painter couldn’t be more accurate. Then there’s Chardin and Rembrandt, an unfinished essay by Marcel Proust, previously unpublished in English. The title is a bit of a misnomer, as most of the essay is about Chardin; fortunately, Proust is a pretty good art critic, even at the age of 24. Critics of the series might be tempted to take this book as an example of what is dubious about the endeavor. After all, is a tiny 60-page book, more than half of which consists of notes and color plates, really worth $12? Maybe not. However, if you view the ekphrasis titles as something closer to books of poetry, which many are, their value suddenly seems evident. Granted, not everyone will be as charmed by their willful eccentricity as I am, but, taken as a whole, they represent a vivifying approach to art criticism. Like so many artists, they refuse to be anything other than themselves. —DS

AUTUMN LIGHT: SEASON OF FIRE AND FAREWELLS

“

hat do we have to hold on to?” Pico Iyer writes in his latest book, Autumn Light: Season of Fire and Farewells. “Only the certainty that nothing will go according to design; our hopes are newly built wooden houses, sturdy until someone drops a cigarette or match.” Ostensibly about his life in Japan, where he lives for part of every year with his wife, Hiroko, Autumn Light is also Iyer’s elegiac meditation on time, family, loss, and being fully present in the moment. Iyer describes the neighborhood where he and Hiroko live, their modest apartment and daily routines, which for Iyer, in the fall, means spending as much time outdoors as possible. The slant of sunlight, the shades of blue in the sky above, and

the fiery colors of the maple trees turning are as irresistible to Iyer as his weekly pingpong sessions with a revolving cast of senior citizens. Although Iyer is part of the fabric of the neighborhood, known at the Post Office and the patisserie and the sports club, he remains an outsider, a foreigner, which gives him a unique perspective on the rhythms and rituals of his adopted home. Iyer’s prose is elegant, an absolute delight to read, full of empathy and wisdom and appreciation for the inescapable fact that every human being must constantly grapple with joy and sorrow, with holding on and letting go, with the often-uncomfortable idea that everything is fleeting. “Hold this moment forever, I tell myself,” Iyer writes, “it may never come again.” — BT

or the uninitiated, Google-searchinformed observer, the name Michael Nesmith might conjure up such identity stereotypes as the “smart Monkey” and heir to the Liquid Paper fortune. Neither of those glaring factoids was on display when Nesmith played at the Lobero with his First National Band last week. Instead, what the smallish but appreciative crowd got was an affirmation of his formidable power of song, which has made him a cult hero in proto-Americana circles. In an often fascinating, sometimes quirky and wobbly 90-minute set, the 76-year-old showed his durable artistry up through a roster of strong new songs. In concert, Nesmith boasted a sturdy foundation in his sevenpiece band, including his two guitarist sons At the Lobero and ace pedal-steel Theatre, Wed., player, Pete Finney. Oct. 2. Mostly dodging his fame-inducing Monkees chapter — apart from the obscure “Papa Gene’s Blues”— Nesmith did nod to his vintage years by playing his timeless “Different Drum,” an early hit for Linda Ronstadt. He gave an amusing set-up for his own bittersweet almost-hit

“Joanne,” which did score chart action in Australia. Other savory song highlights included

“Calico Girlfriend,” “Grand Ennui,” and the chromatically shifty and inventive “Thanks for the Ride” as a sly finale. Things occasionally went slightly off the rails, as when the boss forgot his background singer’s name and muddied a few song structures, with the band following his errant lead. But after his son adjusted his dad’s in-ear monitors — which Finney chalked up to “a technical difficulty with comical overtones” —all was well. Nesmith’s Lobero show was a refreshingly rough-and-ready, absurdist, witty celebration of an underrated song veteran, and it was anything but show business as usual. —Josef Woodard

spirit channeling, included bows to Big Joe Turner alongside references to the “ancient highway” and “golden sand … your God and my Lord.” Elsewhere, he alluded to having unclear thought trains before blurting out the non sequitur “Here come da fuzz,” plucked from TV’s Laugh-In. There were the usual sampler-plate radio hits, from the crowd-juicing one-two punch of “Brown Eyed Girl” and “Gloria” to close to a rendition of “Moondance” with extra swing sauce, “Days Like This,” and “Have I Told You Lately.” He ventured down various idiomatic pathways making up his sound, including vintage R&B, Chicago blues, epic folk rambles, and heaping doses of gospel spirit. A few of those ingredients go into the magical stew, for instance, that is “Saint Dominic’s Preview,” a concert highlight. The band played on, jamming on “Gloria” right up to the 10 p.m. Bowl curfew, long after Van the Man left the stage. His mystical vision continues to beguile. —JW

From the pedestrian to the otherworldly, choreographer Ushio Amagatsu juxtaposed finite movement with haunting facial expressions to paint a staggering portrait of nature’s unrelenting push forward and the emotional implications of persistent change. This was dance theater distilled down to a purity of movement so raw, the viewer was forced to do little more than relent to each unnerving wave of kinetic consciousness. People fidgeted in their seats. Some stood up and walked out. But most sat transfixed, breathing audibly to the rhythm of transcendental bodies trembling on a stark stage. When the lights dimmed, the transformation was complete, and the audience jolted to their feet in rousing reverence.

THOM YORKE TOMORROW’S MODERN BOXES

Lucy in the Sky

MOVIE GUIDE EDITED BY MICHELLE DROWN

SPECIAL SCREENINGS El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (122 mins., R)

Aaron Paul reprises his role as methmaker Jesse Pinkman in this big-screen continuation of the television series Breaking Bad. Follow Pinkman as he escapes from his captors and goes on the run from the law. Riviera (Fri., Oct. 11, 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.; Sat.-Sun., Oct. 12-13, 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.)

➤ O Where’s My Roy Cohn? (97 mins., PG-13)

From certain angles, director Matt Tynauer’s sharply crafted documentary on the late N.Y.C. über-lawyer Roy Cohn plays like an American horror story, melting into modern-day horrors. The shamelessly and socially suave Machiavellian Cohn, who died of AIDS in 1986, was associated with many of the dubious aspects of the second half of the 20th century — including the McCarthy “witch hunt,” helping send the Rosenbergs to their death, political tinkering across decades, Mafia coddling, and mentoring Donald Trump, to whom he offered such sage advice as “never admit you’re wrong, never apologize.” Drawing on a rich supply of archival footage, and many interviews with Cohn, his allies, and enemies, Tynauer appeals to our fascination with scoundrels, while painting a portrait of a possibly amoral titan of sleaze, with friends in high places. Take, for instance, the current White House. (JW)

Gemini Man (117 mins., PG-13) Asian-American brother Carey (Teddy Lee) and sister Kasie (Tiffany Chu) were abandoned by their mother and raised by their father. The siblings reunite to care for him on his deathbed and struggle through old family wounds. The film is the latest from writer/director Justin Chon, whose 2017 work Gook established him as someone to watch. Camino Real/Metro 4 (2D and 3D)

Jexi (84 mins., R) Adam DeVine (Pitch Perfect, Isn’t it Romantic) stars as Phil, a friendless, single phone addict who writes Top 10 lists for a living. When he upgrades his phone, the new device features an AI life coach, Jexi. Initially, Jexi helps Phil create a life away from technology, but the less dependent he becomes, the more possessive Jexi becomes to nefarious ends. Camino Real/Fiesta 5 Lucy in the Sky (124 mins., R) Noah Hawley directs Natalie Portman in this sci-fi drama about astronaut Lucy Cola (Portman), who, after a long space mission, finds herself at loose ends back on Earth with her husband

(Dan Stevens). She begins an affair with her colleague (Jon Hamm), but when he takes up with another woman, Lucy goes to extreme lengths to foil their romance. Paseo Nuevo (Opens Fri., Oct. 18)

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (118 mins., PG)

Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning return as Maleficent and Princess Aurora, respectively, in this sequel to the 2014 film. This time, Maleficent and Aurora must decide which side they are truly on — fairies or humans — when Queen Ingrith (Michelle Pfeiffer) plots to divide the two communities.

into zombies, Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Wichita (Emma Stone), and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) head to the Heartland to do battle against more living dead, who have evolved since their last meeting. Camino Real/Metro 4 (Opens Thu., Oct. 17)

NOW SHOWING Abominable (92 mins., PG) DreamWorks Animation’s latest offering tells the story of Yi, a Shanghai teenager who finds a lost Yeti on the roof of her apartment building. Yi and her friends then set about getting the young Yeti back to his family, who live on the highest point on Earth. Vocal talents include Chloe Bennet, Sarah Paulson, and Eddie Izzard. Fairview/Fiesta 5

OAd Astra (122 mins., PG-13) James Gray’s sci-fi drama Ad Astra tells of a dauntless voyage by astronaut Roy McBride, played somberly by Brad Pitt. McBride journeys through space and uncovers the dark reality of an ill-fated mission his father, Clifford McBride (Tommy Lee Jones), took 30 years prior. Pitt embodies a multi-faceted character whose developmental arc offers a strong emotional component for audiences to latch onto. Beautifully shot and composed, Ad Astra is visually breathtaking and extremely dramatic. And although the narrative is a slow burn that requires dedication from viewers, the story resonates on many levels. (AM)

➤ O Joker (122 mins., R)

Todd Phillips’ Joker is one of the year’s most jarring and introspective films. Delving into the origin story of Batman’s arch-nemesis Arthur Fleck, aka Joker, the film follows the brutalization of the failed stand-up comedian and party clown, his descent into madness, and creation of his alter ego. As Fleck, Joaquin Phoenix slowly fleshes out and then gets lost in the mind of the Joker, the film adeptly showing the diminishing duality between Fleck and Joker. Phoenix’s transition from shy recluse to absolute maniac is done perfectly, using pivotal moments in the film as fuel for quintessential character development. The music score complements the immense levels of suspense, paralleling the deterioration of Arthur’s well-being. Through unsettling nuances, Joker forces audiences to question the motivations and morality, or lack thereof, behind the clown’s heinous actions. While there are a few weak bits and pieces of the narrative, they aren’t enough to take away from Phoenix’s superb performance and the film as a whole. (AM) Arlington/Camino Real/Metro 4

Judy (118 mins., PG-13) Renée Zellweger stars as Judy Garland in this biopic that takes place during the actor/singer’s five-week sold-out con-

cert run at London’s Talk of the Town nightclub. The Hitchcock/Paseo Nuevo/Fairview

The Laundromat (95 mins., R) Meryl Streep stars in this Steven Soderbergh-directed film about the anonymous whistleblower who leaked the Panama Papers in 2015, which included more than 11 million documents detailing financial and private information about 200,000-plus offshore shell corporations created by a Panamanian law firm to help their clients avoid taxes, among other things. Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, Sharon Stone, and David Schwimmer also star. Riviera

O Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice (95 mins., PG-13) The film celebrates the singer’s seemingly angelic countenance and stunning powerhouse voice, of which we get ample, inspiring evidence in the film. Arizona-born and partly of Mexican heritage, Ronstadt headed to Los Angeles at 18, became a global pop sensation with scores of hits and platinum albums, but somehow maintained her essential sweetness and driving musical curiosity — making stunning ventures into Gilbert and Sullivan, the Great American Songbook, and Mariachi. It’s a portrait of an artist with a heart like a restlessly creative wheel. (JW) Riviera

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “Love is when you meet someone who

tells you something new about yourself,” wrote poet André Breton. I think that’s an excellent principle to put at the top of your priority list in the coming weeks, Aries. To be in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms, you should seek input from allies who’ll offer insights about you that are outside your current conceptions of yourself. You might even be daring enough to place yourself in the paths of strangers, acquaintances, animals, and teachers who can provide novel reflections. There’s just one caveat: Stay away from people who might be inclined to fling negative feedback.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Constantine P. Cavafy’s poem “Waiting

for the Barbarians” imagines the imminent arrival of an unpredictable agent of chaos. “The barbarians are coming today,” declares the narrator. Everyone in town is uneasy. People’s routines are in disarray. Faces look worried. What’s going to happen? But the poem has a surprise ending. “It is night, and the barbarians haven’t come,” reports the narrator. “Some people have arrived from the frontier and say that there aren’t any more barbarians.” I propose that we use this scene as a metaphor for your life right now, Taurus. It’s quite possible that the perceived threat isn’t really a threat. So here’s my question, taken from near the end of the poem: “What are we going to do now without the barbarians?”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some folklorists prefer the term “won-

der tales” rather than “fairy tales.” Indeed, many such stories are filled with marvelous events that feature magical transformations, talking animals, and mythical creatures like elves and dragons and unicorns. I bring this up, Gemini, because I want to encourage you to read some wonder tales. Hopefully, as you do, you’ll be inspired to reimagine your life as a wonder tale; you’ll reframe the events of the “real world” around you as being elements in a richly entertaining wonder tale. Why do I recommend this? Because wonder tales are like waking dreams that reveal the wishes and curiosi-

ties and fascinations of your deep psyche. And I think you will benefit profoundly in the coming weeks from consciously tuning in to those wishes and curiosities and fascinations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I suspect that in the coming days, you’ll

be able to see into everyone’s souls more vividly than usual. You’ll have a special talent for piercing through the outer trappings of their personalities so as to gaze at the essence beneath. It’s as if your eyes will be blessed by an enhancement that enables you to discern what’s often hidden. This upgrade in your perception may at times be unsettling. For some of the people you behold, the difference between how they present themselves and who they actually are will be dramatic. But for the most part, penetrating to the depths should be fun, enriching, even healing.

WEEK OF OCTOBER 10

the inspiration you feel about the activities that are most important to you — the work and the play that give you the sense you’re living a meaningful life. So how do you boost your excitement and motivation for those essential actions you do on a regular basis? Here’s a good place to begin: Visualize in exuberant detail all the reasons you started doing them in the first place.

LIBRA

you — at times even exquisite, beautiful, breathtaking sense. Life will be in a revelatory and articulate mood. The evocative clues coming your way about the nature of reality could tempt you to believe that there is indeed a coherent plan and meaning to your personal destiny.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 2005, Facebook was a startup com-

ous new phase of self-redefinition. I trust you are excited about shedding old ways of thinking about yourself and eager to revise and reimagine the plot of your life story. As you do, keep in mind this helpful counsel from physicist Richard Feynman: “You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.”

pany barely on the map of the internet. Its president asked graffiti artist David Choe to paint murals on the walls of its headquarters. Choe asked for $60,000, but the president convinced him to be paid with Facebook stock instead. Years later, when Facebook went public, Choe became a multimillionaire. I suspect that in the coming months, you will be faced with choices that are less spectacular than that, Capricorn, but similar and important. My conclusion: Be willing to consider smart gambles when projects are germinating.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The universe is under no obligation

to make sense to you,” declared astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. If that’s even a little bit true, I bet you won’t believe it in the coming weeks. According to my analysis, the universe will make a great deal of sense to

wrote philosopher and polymath Henri Poincaré. “It alone can teach us something new; it alone can give us certainty.” He wasn’t merely referring to the kinds of experiments that scientists conduct in laboratories. He was talking about the probes and explorations we can and should carry out in the course of our daily lives. I mention this, Aquarius, because the coming days will be prime time for you to do just that: ask provocative questions, initiate novel adventures, and incite fun learning experiences.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In my opinion, Piscean singer, poet,

and actor Saul Williams produces high-quality art. So he has earned a right to critique mediocre art. In speaking about movies and TV shows that are hard to enjoy unless we dumb ourselves down, he says that “we have more guilty pleasure than actual f------ pleasure.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Pisces, is to cut back on your “guilty pleasures” — the entertainment, art, and socializing that brings meager returns — as you increase and upgrade your actual f------ pleasure.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you
