A new farm-to-table restaurant, The Good Plow, has officially opened in Carpinteria, offering locally sourced, organic meals in what is perhaps the beachside city’s healthiest restaurant. The Good Plow, located at 5205 Carpinteria Ave., celebrated its grand opening just over two weeks ago. The new business replaced the long-standing Fosters Freeze establishment, which closed in Aug. 2020. Using all locally sourced, organic ingredients, the restaurant offers a menu of mainly vegetarian options, with the exception of its popular fish tacos, Lox Bowl and “The Real Burger,” which sources grassfed beef from San Julian Ranch in Lompoc. Other menu offerings include hearty bowls, sandwiches and salads that are stuffed with vegetables and Asian-inspired flavors and seasonings. Since opening two weeks ago, the restaurant has been full of customers, Katie Lesh, the owner of The Good Plow, told the News-Press Saturday. She and her husband, Jason, own the restaurant and Farm Cart Organics in Carpinteria. With deep ties to the local farming community, Ms. Lesh said her goal for this restaurant is to use locally sourced ingredients to create a healthy and affordable dining option in the beachside city. “I saw what Carp needed,” Ms. Lesh said. “I could see personally what (the city) needed and heard what people wanted, and it was always healthier food options in a fast-paced environment. Somewhere you can go get a salad or go get a sandwich, and somewhere you can bring your kids that it’s just casual.” “I just tried to build around that vision,” she added. Ms. Lesh and her husband got to work making that vision a reality when the couple began renovating the building last September after Fosters Freeze closed in August. The renovation effort continued through this year and was completed through a crowdsourcing effort on Kickstarter, where community members raised over $50,000 for the construction of the restaurant’s outdoor patio and inventory. Now that the restaurant is open, Ms. Lesh and her husband are offering a menu of healthy meals in the heart of Carpinteria.

Along with dishes, various items are sold inside The Good Plow.

By partnering with numerous local farmers to provide ingredients for the restaurant’s menu, Ms. Lesh estimates that customers are enjoying meals that are made from 95% organic ingredients. Even the oil that the food is cooked in is made from organic sunflower oil, she said. While the new restaurant has a vastly different menu than the Fosters Freeze that once occupied the location, the owners decided to pay tribute to the old establishment by installing an ice cream window off the side of the entrance. Customers can order organic ice cream served on chocolate-dipped cones. “When people first heard that Foster Freeze was closing, they were so angry because it was this, like, childhood memory for them,” Ms. Lesh said. “So we tried to offer a similar thing.” Customers to the store also have the option to purchase fresh local produce on the spot

right inside the restaurant. Currently, the store is selling an assortment of local fruits and vegetables, as well as various kitchen utensils and goods. Looking toward the future, Ms. Lesh said she’s hoping to open additional Good Plow locations in the region, perhaps in Santa Barbara or Ventura. She said through the restaurant, she hopes to reach a new demographic of people and introduce them to affordable, healthy menu options. “I’m really trying to reach a different demographic with our prices, and I really want to create a space where everyone feels welcome,” Ms. Lesh said. “Like the middle schoolers who come here every day because the school is just right down the street. That’s what I’m really trying to capture — just a community space where everybody feels important and welcome.”

A team of deputies from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office are currently on the ground in South Lake Tahoe to aid local law enforcement bodies as the Caldor Fire continues to burn through the region. The team, composed of 21 deputies from the Sheriff’s Office, deployed last Wednesday to provide mutual aid in El Dorado County, where thousands of residents have been evacuated due to the fire. As of Saturday, the Caldor fire had burned more than 214,000 acres in both El Dorado and Amador counties and was only 37% contained. The Sheriff’s Office deputies are joined by four officers from the Santa Barbara Police Department and two officers from the Lompoc Police Department. These responders from Santa Barbara County are part of a contingent of more than 100 law enforcement personnel from Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties that are responding through a mutual aid agreement between all California law enforcement agencies, according to a news release. Since deploying, the team of deputies has been patrolling the South Lake Tahoe region to watch for looters and check on the few residents in the area who chose not to evacuate. According to Lt. Steven Johnson from the Sheriff’s Office, the majority of South Lake Tahoe’s 22,000 residents have evacuated, though some stayed behind in an effort to protect their homes and businesses. During patrols, Lt. Johnson said deputies make regular contact with residents out walking, biking or driving, checking in on them to make sure they have what they need to stay safe. He said many of the residents have been cooperative and appreciative of law enforcement presence. The team also looks out for looters during patrols, responding to reports of stolen property. As of Saturday, deputies had made four arrests — two on Thursday and two on Friday — for illegal entries into homes and looting, according

to Lt. Johnson. A few residents who evacuated the area have aided the deputies in catching looters by utilizing security systems and video cameras outside their homes. The lieutenant said one resident called law enforcement when they saw someone stealing a bike through their Ring Doorbell system, and deputies were able to confront the looter and arrest them within minutes. “It’s a good thing for us to be up here,” Lt. Johnson told the News-Press on Saturday. “We’re doing a lot of work and a lot of preventative work by keeping people out who aren’t supposed to be here and basically representing the people who are still here.” “People are very appreciative of our presence, and they’re making that well known to us,” he added. “It’s a matter of everybody working together to get back, hopefully, to the point that they’ll be able to lift the evacuations and get everybody back in.” Since the team arrived in the city last week, conditions have been very smoky and foggy, and crews can smell the fire burning just a few miles away, Lt. Johnson said. When the crew traveled on U.S. Route 50 to get to South Lake Tahoe last week, fire was burning on both sides of the road, and Lt. Johnson said Caltrans is working hard to ensure the road remains open and clear for first responders. As the fire advances, Lt. Johnson said it’s pushing wildlife, like black bears, into the mostly evacuated city limits of South Lake Tahoe. During patrols, deputies have seen multiple bears roaming around and searching for food by knocking down trash cans and breaking into evacuated homes. “One of our female deputies who is on our media team videotaped a bear jumping up onto a fence and then going through a window into a house,” Lt. Johnson said. “We get alarm calls for residences here or neighbors calling and saying ‘hey a bear just went into the house.” With the fire still advancing Please see DEPUTIES on A2

Length of crew’s stay depends on state of situation DEPUTIES

Continued from Page A1 over the weekend, Lt. Johnson said the group of deputies currently on the ground in El Dorado County will likely be replaced by another team at the start of this week. He said how long the crew stays depends on weather and the state of the fire, noting that conditions can change hour by hour based on wind speed. As first responders continue to combat the fire and protect impacted communities, Lt. Johnson said the crew of deputies helps to relieve some of the strain on local enforcement bodies by offering extra support and officers. He added that after all the help Central Coast agencies received during the Thomas Fire and Montecito Debris Flow disasters, responding to the Caldor fire feels like a way to give back. “We’ve gotten a lot of mutual aid assistance in the past from agencies all over Central California, all the way down to

Westmont warriors volleyball squad tested in Bellevue By JACOB NORLING WESTMONT COLLEGE WRITER

BELLEVUE, Neb. — No. 15 Westmont (5-3) split a doubleheader in volleyball action on Friday in Bellevue, Neb., after getting swept by No. 2 Jamestown (8-0) in the morning and later paying it forward against McPherson (2-2). “The pieces are still coming together,” said Westmont head coach Ruth McGolpin. “It is important for us not only to play good teams in the preseason, but we want to build some confidence as well. We’ve shown that we can hang with teams, but we need to be able to find ways to defeat clubs that are better than us.” In the morning, Westmont battled it out with Jamestown, a club that came into the match a perfect 6-0. The Warriors stayed neck and neck with the Jimmies to begin the first set, keeping the match tied through 14 points after Addie Paul’s first kill of the set. Following Paul’s kill, Jamestown began to pull away as the Jimmies went on a four-point run to take an 18-14 lead. From that point on, the two clubs traded points leading up to a final Jamestown run that had the Jimmies cruise to a 25-18 victory. The final blow came on Corina Huff’s fourth kill of the set. “We had quite a few errors in the first

set,” noted McGolpin. “We had three service errors and could not get anything to land offensively. In close games like that it’s those runs of points you give up for free that will hurt you.” In set two, the Jimmies got out a 9-3 lead and looked poised to run away with things. Then, kills from Paul and Kaylee Ivie bookended a rally that saw Westmont pull within three at 11-8. Westmont’s momentum quickly came to a halt, however, as the Jimmies held off the Warriors for a 25-17 win and a 20 set advantage. Jessie Terlizzi and Patty Kerman collected four and three kills each during the set, while Jamestown’s Huff added another four of her own. Like in the first, the club hung with the Jimmies during the first half of the set, keeping things knotted through 15. However once again, the Jimmies got just enough breathing room to pull away for good. Two kills and an error got the Jimmies their first multi-point lead since the set started 3-1, and the Warriors were unable to tie the match again. Jamestown finished off the sweep with a 25-20 victory in set three, as Huff finished with a match-high 11 kills. Terlizzi led the Warriors with ten of her own. “They were not necessarily that big,” observed McGolpin. “However, they were athletic and super physical. They just seemed more polished than we were at

this point. We have been together for a little over three weeks and it showed, while they looked like they were already in a groove.” Westmont was out-killed 49-32, and outblocked 15-4 during the match. “The difference was our inability to stop them defensively,” said McGolpin. “It’s not just at the net. Defensively, I’d like to see everyone step up. We are a quiet team by nature and we need to be louder on the court and communicate better.” In the nightcap, the Warriors got off to a slow start in set one, going down 5-1 on five kills from four different bulldogs. Then the Westmont offense came alive with an 8-1 run themselves to take a 9-6 lead. From there, Westmont consistently maintained their lead. Westmont took the first set by a score of 25-20, with Terlizzi and Phoebe Minch leading the way with five kills each. Four of Terlizzi’s kills were a part of Westmont’s initial run to take the lead. “It was important for us to have a good scouting report going in,” explained MGolpin. “Fortunately, we got to get a look at them during their earlier match, which allowed us to have an idea of where we were going with a plan. They are a solid team, and it was not easy to break through by any means.” In set two, Westmont jumped out a 6-

2 lead before McPherson showed the Warriors their best punch of the night, going on a 7-1 run to take a 9-7 lead. The Bulldogs kept the Warriors in pursuit for the next handful of possessions, with their lead getting as big 14-11. Then kills by Terlizzi and Ivie, followed by a bad set, allowed Westmont to knot things at 14 going into a McPherson timeout. The clubs traded points out of the timeout until a kill by Sara Krueger gave Westmont a multi-point lead at 18-16. From there the Westmont lead was never relinquished, and an ace by Minch gave the club a 25-21 win and a 2-0 set advantage. Minch also led the club with four kills during the set. Westmont’s offense spread the wealth in set three as kills by Audrey Brown, Patty Kerman, Krueger and Minch allowed the club to jump out to an 84 lead. However, a pair of kills and Westmont attacking errors allowed the Bulldogs to pull within one at 10-9 and eventually tie the set at 12. Then, three errors in four possessions for the Bulldogs allowed the Warriors to take a 17-13 lead and cruise from there. A Sydny Dunn ace put the finishing touches on a Westmont sweep, as the club took the third and final set 25-18. Minch finished the match with a teamhigh 10 kills, while Terlizzi added nine.

Dunn led the club with 16 assists, while freshman libero Kaili Hashimoto added a team-high 14 digs. Defensively, Terlizzi, Krueger and Ivie combined for 15 blocks. “Specifically, I thought Sara Krueger played great,” said McGolpin. “She came in and gave us a spark. Kaylee also had her fair share of kills tonight and was great at the net defensively. Then of course Jessi and Patty were great tonight as well. “The stats show that our blocking was great, but what set it up was our serving. We served to the spaces we were targeting, and it kept them out of system, which allowed our blocking to have success. “Winning is great for confidence building,” McGolpin added. “But what has really impressed me is hearing the team say they’re grateful they’ve come all this way for tough competition. They are getting tested by every team out here, and tomorrow we are going to have our hands full.” On Wednesday, Westmont will host Westcliff at 7 p.m. in Murchison Gymnasium, before beginning GSAC play Friday in San Dimas.

That much — along with its hauntings — is reasonably well known by most residents of this sleepy, beachy village on the other side of Ortega Hill from mellow Montecito. What is much less known is that Summerland’s spiritualism, as officially established one Sunday in mid-May 1889, continues to live on, albeit in a colorful church on the corner of East Figueroa and Garden streets in downtown Santa Barbara. The Spiritualist Church of the Comforter, which relocated to its

DUNCAN, Gray Roderick

October 27,1962-August 29 2021 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear son, Gray. He was a loved son, brother, husband, father and friend, a respected teacher of art and so much more. He was a graduate of Dos Pueblos High School and held degrees in Art from UCSB. He leaves his wife Janis, son Preston and daughter Breanna. He will be missed by many students both present and past, many of whom kept in touch. He was a lover of the ocean, an artist, a kind and gentle soul. A Poem for Gray: “For winter’s rains and ruins are over, and all the seasons of snows and sins; The days of dividing loves and lover, The light that loses, the night that wins; And time remembered is grief forgotten, and frosts are slain and ÁRZHUV begotten, And in green underwood and cover, Blossom by blossom the spring begins.” -Swinburne

BOUNDS, Barbara Ann

On August 21, 2021, with sorrowed hearts, we lost our beloved Mother, Aunt, Sister and Friend Barbara Ann Bounds; peacefully in Santa Barbara California. Barbara was the daughter of Joseph and Clara Ellert and grew up with 12 brothers and sisters on the farm in Indiana that we all know as “The Home Place.” She spent most of her amazing life in Santa Barbara California where she loved to take walks along the ocean and never took for granted a place she often referred to as “paradise.” Barbara Bounds (Ellert), a devout Catholic, known as Mom, Barb, Grandma Barb, GG and Aunt Barb to many of us, gifted and blessed our lives with her thoughtfulness, passionate love of the Lord, gracious nature and her everlasting love of winning a card game. Barbara was a long-time waitress at Brays 101 in Goleta and eventually retired from Residential Housing Services @ University of California at Santa Barbara. She is preceded in death by her parents Clare and Joseph Ellert, her brothers, Edward, Clayton, James, Carl, Leonard, Jerome and her sisters, Marie, Bertha, Irene, Rita as well as her beloved husband John Bounds, life partner, Robert Hanna, best friend Donna Ellert along with many more friends and family members. She is survived by her sister Theresa Stanley (Ellert), brother Floyd “Ben” Ellert (Bev), her children: daughter Janie West (Wayne), son John Bounds (Christy) and their children Amanda and Bailey West and Travis and Tyler Bounds, as well as her Great-Granddaughter Jayden West. Barbara is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

LOMELI, Augustin

Augustin Lomeli, an established resident of Santa Barbara, passed on August 26, 2021 surrounded by family and loved ones. Augustin was born February 25, 1946 in Oceanside, California. He grew up along the Southern California coast, and was particularly fond of the time his family spent around Point Conception. The family moved to Santa Barbara in 1961. He graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1964. After serving in the Marines during Vietnam, Augie returned to Santa Barbara and met Martha Flores. They were married in 1972, and raised two children in Sacramento, before returning to Santa Barbara in 1982. From a modest start as a construction laborer, Augie worked tirelessly and attentively to start a successful company, Concrete Impressions. He was proud of the legacy of his workmanship at the countless homes and projects throughout the county. Augie balanced his focused work ethic with a myriad of passions and hobbies. He had a robust, ever-changing, car collection of classic, muscle, and the occasional supercar. Once Augie picked up golf, he never let go. While he would enjoy rounds any day of the week, his favorite outings were the tournaments hosted by his close friends and colleagues. He always proudly displayed photographs of the various historied foursomes. Always an avid card player, Augie was a staple at the Chumash Poker Room over the last 20 years. The family would like to extend their condolences to all the players he took money from. Augustin was preceded in death by his wife, Martha Lomeli (née Flores) and his parents, Francisco and Francisca Lomeli. He is survived by his sister, Sylvia Lomeli, his children, Austin Lomeli (Julie) and Gina Hernandez (James), his grandsons, Asher and Jax Lomeli, and numerous other family members.

current location after its original Summerland site was claimed 70 years ago by eminent domain (to make way for Highway 101), quietly continues its tradition of communicating with those who have transcended this earthly plane. A brief history: The man credited with founding Summerland’s spiritualist community was Henry Lafayette “H.L.” Williams of Ohio, who served as a major in the Union Army under Gen. Ulysses S. Grant (a friend of his) during the Civil War. But it was actually H.L.’s wife, Sarah, known as “Katie,” who was devoted to the then-burgeoning belief in spiritualism — both a philosophy and religion — and who eventually convinced her once skeptical husband to adopt her beliefs after a séance in which a medium jolted him with a revelation (hitherto known only to him) about his drunkard of a brother. Thus, when H.L., who resided on the corner 0f De la Vina and Sola streets in Santa Barbara, purchased what was known as Ortega Rancho — 1,050 acres along the sea — he resolved to transform that panoramic coastline into a dedicated spiritualist community and invite fellow spiritualists from around the country to join him and his family in regular communion with their dearly departed. H.L. christened his new enclave “Summerland,” which, to pagans, wiccans and theosophists means “a place of natural beauty and peace while transitioning between lives.” To spiritualists, the word “Summerland” is synonymous with “afterlife.” A book about Summerland’s heritage, “The Spirit of the Big Yellow House” by Rod Lathim, defines spiritualism as: “Spiritualists believe in a spirit or power beyond physical reality. They believe there is a sixth sense that develops in some people, an awareness that enables communication with spirits of the dead.” Spiritualism had its roots in New York City, circa mid-19th century, though its adherents were ridiculed and ostracized for their unconventional beliefs. This was why H.L. and his wife Katie strove to create a sanctuary for fellow believers as the popularity of spiritualism steadily increased (by the end of the century) to 8 million adherents in the United States and Europe. (The Civil War was a boon to spiritualists due to the grieving over so many dead — often, not properly buried — and, with it, a need for reconciliation with loved ones.) Sadly, before their spiritualist community was officially launched, Katie died (though one suspects her spirit eternalizes in Summerland). Five hundred people, camping out in tents, attended the commune’s grand opening — and thereafter H.L. handed out plots of land at a pittance to those who wished to settle it, build homes and attend the weekly services and séances at Liberty Hall, which became known as “Spook Hall” among Santa Barbarians, who looked upon their new neighbors as kooks.

THAR SHE BLOWS When oil was discovered, spirituality turned to commerce and Summerland thrived, its oceanfront entirely consumed by a dozen wharfs supporting more than 400 oil drilling rigs. Natural beauty turned ugly as the human soul was again corrupted. Another problem: Summerland became a magnet for charlatans from around the country bent on exploiting the spiritualism craze for financial gain, parting willing marks from their moulah. (A contractor working under one of Summerland’s prominent remaining houses a few years ago found a “knocker” beneath the floorboard, which translates to spiritualist fraud, as in, hit the floorboard with your foot, and it’ll knock on cue.) Ironically, the same oil that rendered H.L. fabulously rich was also his downfall (literally) when he ventured out to inspect an

abandoned well — and, well, fell into it. His injuries evolved into pneumonia and death. Later, during a séance, H.L.’s stepson, Worsley, invoked the old man’s spirit. Communicating by automatic writing — the legend goes — H.L. became angry at this intrusion into his new existence, especially upon learning that there was no real reason other than mere entertainment for summoning him. (They never again tried to contact their irascible patriarchal benefactor.) H.L.’s second wife, after becoming a widow, remarried to a San Francisco jeweler named Becker, who took the oil biz to new heights. Until, that is, the construction of Santa Barbara’s yacht harbor altered the breakwater and, after one particularly rough tide, washed all of Summerland’s rigs out to sea, thus ending the oil boom. (Mother Nature fighting back?) Fast forward about a hundred years. Now a freeway runs through Summerland, and spiritualism and oil drilling have given way to a smattering of antique shops, boutiques and eateries, along with the aptly-named Sacred Space, a Buddhist oasis offering peace and quiet and complimentary tea Meantime, The Spiritualist Church of the Comforter quietly continues its practice of Summerland’s early traditions. Its beautiful stained-glass windows feature the international emblem of spiritualism: sunflowers. “The church received its first charter on January 9, 1891,” states its website. “Summerland was laughingly referred to as ‘Spookville,’ and people usually took the back roads to avoid the odor caused by oil wells. In 1951, we had to find a new home. We are still here and still carrying on.” Meanwhile, Summerland is left with its ghosts and haunted dwellings, as if its early spiritualist inhabitants, by merit of their beliefs and practices, retained the right to live on forever in the abodes of their former colony.

GHOST STORIES “I was trying to sleep on the couch in the living room of an old Summerland house I rented,” one seriously spooked person told The Investigator, “and was somewhere in that twilight between sleep and awake — it was the middle of the night — when I heard the pitterpatter of a toddler’s footsteps from about 15 feet away running toward where I lay. Whatever it was stopped right by my head near the arm of the couch, looking down on me. I froze, petrified.” This jibes with an account in Mr. Lathim’s book: “As the music played, a cherubic naked child about two and a half feet tall with golden curls … danced around the room, and people could hear tiny feet making ‘pitti-pat-pat’ sounds on the floorboards.” Another couch story: “Woke up in the middle of the night in a house at the top of Summerland and saw figures dressed in late 19th century clothing and they were dancing, three or four of them. And then a male ghost suddenly and abruptly bent over the couch, like he was the watcher, to prevent witness of what those ghosts were doing. “The lady who owned the house said, ‘Oh, yeah, I’ve seen them; they’re in the back room.’ And she described exactly the same phantoms. They’re still there, in that house.” But most of Summerland’s ghost stories revolve around The Big Yellow House, an iconic landmark, which, for several decades, housed a restaurant.

who worked there have claimed ghostly visions of such vividness they became convinced previous occupants from the spirit world were still present among them. And not just employees. One customer was at a dinner party in The Big Yellow House and needed to use the restroom “It was late, near closing time,” The Investigator was told. “Got up to use the restroom and went through a door, ended up in the kitchen. There was no one there. But a voice shouted, ‘You don’t belong in here!’” He didn’t need to be told twice.

A MODERN MEDIUM As part of this column, The Investigator sought to consult a medium, ideally someone connected with the Spiritualist Church of the Comforter. Pre-COVID, the church ran something called “Wednesday Messages” for communication between parishioners and church-approved mediums in contact with the spirit world. But since this has not yet been reinstated, Pastor Pamela Bollinger referred us to a “certified” medium on the East Coast who offers a 30-minute session for $60 by phone or Zoom (though Rev. Bollinger likes to point out that everyone is a medium whether they’ve discovered that potential within themselves or not). This would be my first encounter with a spiritualist and séance-like situation. One must always approach the unknown with an open mind and a healthy slice of skepticism. In this spirit (pun intended), I was enthusiastic about receiving messages from anyone on the other side who might choose to manifest themselves for the occasion or could be mustered up for me. I had no questions and asked for no one in particular. A cheery beginning: “Spirit guidance surrounds us with love and light.” My father is then invoked (fair enough, everyone has one — and a little time spent consulting my blog would confirm his transcendence to the spirit world over a decade ago). “He is feeling fatherly toward you.” Uh-huh. “He had a gradual illness but when the end came, he went quickly.” Partly so. My dad, the medium said, was feeling awkward about being

summoned here and “is not sure what to make of it, but is happy to be here, if trying to figure out how it’s possible.” I should point out, I’m looking for some kind of code, a special word or phrase unknown to the medium that might confirm the genuine presence of my father’s spirit. But no such familiarity materializes. “He had a faith, not a religion.” True, if somewhat generic without specifics — and that could also have been discerned from my blog. Next some puzzling stuff about our father-son relationship that made little sense to me. Then: “His father greeted him (when he passed). He was confused, is still figuring it out. He is with a brother — he had a brother, right?” (Ancestry.com.) “In life, they did not live in close proximity.” True. “But happy to be together now.” Sweet. Then another spirit presents itself, bearing no resemblance to anyone I’ve ever known citing circumstances that supposedly involved me but never happened, along with some advice from that fictional spirit: “Stop listening to other people, and listen to yourself.” And then my father’s mother wants a word too, conveying “a softness around her grandkids.” Problem: My paternal grandmother passed before the advent of grandchildren. And finally, some parting advice to me from one, two or all three visiting spirits: “Wake up — it’s going to be alright.” I realize spiritualism ought not be judged by a single medium or experience, but if I had to objectively grade this séance for its verisimilitude, I’d have no choice (given the fiction and absence of a familiar specific) but to give it a D. But perhaps this is the kind of thing that calls for two-outof-three. Maybe I should visit Madame Rosinka at the end of Stearns Wharf. Stay tuned, Halloween is just around the corner. (This is not meant to trivialize spiritualism. The traditions of the Celtic/wiccan Samhain and the Day of the Dead as celebrated throughout Latin America are truly sacred as are those near and dear to us who have transcended).

COMMENTARY

Fall movies preview Ahead are a James Bond film, a ‘Ghostbusters’ sequel and a Spider-Man tale By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

ang onto your popcorn. James Bond is back. Fans will see the longdelayed “No Time to Die,” Daniel Craig’s last outing as 007, when it lands Oct. 8 in theaters. In addition to Mr. Craig, the film stars Léa Seydoux as Madeleine Swann and Rami Malek as villain Safin in a story that starts with Bond finally getting to enjoy life in Jamaica, where he’s had his share of 007 adventures. The first Bond movie, “Dr. No” (1962), which starred the great Sean Connery, was set in Jamaica. “No Time to Die” is among the “shaken, not stirred” highlights as the fall movie season begins with familiar faces. Expect to see everyone from Amy Adams (“Dear Evan Hansen”) to Clint Eastwood (“Cry Macho”). It’s a good mix this fall, with genres varying from the animated (“Addams Family 2”) to a nostalgic/sci-fi blend: a “Ghostbusters” sequel and a “Dune” remake. And for fans of “The Sopranos,” there’s a prequel, “The Many Saints of Newark.” Another prequel, “The King’s Man,” awaits fans of the spy franchise. Plus, Marvel Comics fans will find out about the webslinger’s fate in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Here’s the release schedule for the films. This weekend — “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”. The latest Marvel Studios movie is about a Kung Fu master who confronts his past. — “Karen.” — “The Gateway.” — “Zone 414.” — “We Need to Do Something.” — “Yakuza Princess.” — “Mogul Mowgli.” Sept. 9 — “Time Is Up.” Sept. 10. — “Malignant.” James Wan directs this story about Madison, who has visions of murders. Stars include Annabelle Wallis, Maddie Hasson and George Young. — “The Card Counter.” — “Queen Pins.” Kristin Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste star in the story about the housewives behind a $40 million coupon scam. — “Small Engine Repair.” Sept. 14 — “Bad Candy.” Sept. 17 — “Prisoners of the Ghostland.” — “Cry Macho.” Clint Eastwood stars as Mike Milo, a former rodeo star who teaches a boy what it means to be a man. As usual, Mr. Eastwood is also the film’s director, which is always good news for viewers. — “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.” This movie deserves a loud “Amen!” for its casting, particularly with Jessica Chastain as televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker and Vincent D’Onofrio as Jerry Falwell. Another talented actor, former “Spider-Man” star Andrew Garfield, is Jim Bakker — “The Nowhere Inn.” — “Copshop.” — “Blue Bayou.” — “Best Sellers.” — “Lady of the Manor.” — “The Duke.” Sept. 24 — “Dear Evan Hansen.” The Tony- and Grammy-winning musical comes to the big screen. Stephen Chbosky directs the film, starring Ben Platt as Evan Hansen. Some of the cast’s familiar faces are Julianne Moore as Heid Hansen and Amy Adams as Cynthia Murphy. — “I’m Your Man.” Oct. 1 — “Mayday.” — “The Many Saints of Newark.” This is one for the fans of “The Sopranos,” the series about a New Jersey mobster and his home life. It’s about the early years

of Tony Soprano. He’s played by Michael Gandolfini, the son of the late James Gandolfini, who starred as Tony on TV. — “Titane.” — “The Addams Family 2.” The 2019 animated “Addams Family” movie was true to the eccentric family’s spirit and nature. A sequel is good news. And there’s a “Star Wars” alert! Oscar Isaac, who played Po in that franchise, is the voice of Gomez Addams. Charlize Theron is the voice of Morticia, and Bette Midler is the voice of Grandmama. Oct. 8 — “No Time to Die.” Daniel Craig is back in his last outing as James Bond. — “Lamb.” — “Mass.” Oct. 15 — “Venom: Let There Be Carnage.” More twisted fun from Marvel Studios. — “The Last Duel.”

— “Halloween Kills.” Oct. 16 — “Extinct.” Oct. 19 — “Last Man Down.” Oct. 22 — “Dune.” Timothee Chalamet stars as Paul Atreides in this cinematic remake of late Port Townsend, Wash., author Frank Herbert’s sci-fi masterpiece. (Here’s some trivia: Port Townsend is a small town on the northeastern end of the state’s Olympic Peninsula, and it has another cinematic claim to fame as the filming site for “An Officer and a Gentleman.”) — “The French Dispatch.” — “Ron’s Gone Wrong.” Oct. 29 — “Last Night in Soho.” — “Antlers.”

“My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission.” Nov. 5 — “Eternals.” Angelina Joline stars in the latest superhero film from Marvel Studios. — “Spencer.” Nov. 12 — “Belfast.” The talented Kenneth Branagh is the director and writer of this story about a young boy (Jude Hill as Buddy) and his family in the late 1960s. The cast includes the legendary Judi Dench. Nov. 19 — “Ghostbusters: Afterlife.” This is set in the original “Ghostbusters” universe, where a single mother and her kids discover their connection with the original band of four. The film stars Finn Wolfhard, McKenna Grace and Carrie

Coon. And back for the ride are original stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson. The director is Jason Reitman, son of original “Ghostbusters” director and former Montecito resident Ivan Reitman. — “King Richard.” — “Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn.” Nov. 24 — “House of Gucci.” Lady Gaga stars in this story covering three decades of love, betrayal and murder. Directing is none other than Ridley Scott. — “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.” Please see MOVIES on B3

Stephen McCarthy, a native of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, is a Ph.D. student studying transportation modeling in Stockholm. He got his start in puzzles by solving cryptic crosswords in Toronto’s Globe and Mail with his grandfather. Last year he began constructing American-style puzzles, incorporating some of the wordplay of cryptics in his themes and clues. This is a good example. Stephen’s last Times crossword was ‘‘Maple Leaf,’’ in June. — W.S.

How to play Codeword Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great test of your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start you off. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1 - 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Ahead are ‘Matrix’ sequel, ‘West Side Story’ MOVIES

Continued from Page B1 — “Encanto.” Dec. 3 — “Nightmare Alley.” Dec. 10 — “West Side Story.” It’s impossible to imagine any screen version being better than the 1961 classic directed by two great talents — Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins. But this adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical has something in its favor. It’s directed by Steven Spielberg. Dec. 17 — “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Fans have waited a long time for some resolution to the cliff hanger from the last “SpiderMan” movie in which the world learned Spider-Man is Peter Parker. What’s next? Well, for one thing, Peter (Tom Holland) is talking to Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). That could be an interesting conversation.

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet which will cause the nerves to begin to slowly degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow. COURTESY PHOTO

The 2021 Colorthon will take place Oct. 30 in Vandenberg Village.

Colorthon planned in October

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

VANDENBERG VILLAGE — Registration is now open for the 2021 Lompoc Hospital District Foundation Colorthon 5K Oct. 30 at the Mission Club. After a short hiatus — and in a new location — the benefit will begin with registration at 8 a.m. in the club parking lot. Participants will run or walk a pre-arranged 5kilometer course through a series of “color stations” where volunteers will toss colored powder (actually, cornstarch) at runners. This untimed event is open to everyone who wants to come out and have a fun morning while supporting the Lompoc Hospital District Foundation. Registration is open for sign-up as individuals, a family or in a group. Everyone will start off together, moving at their own pace through various “color stations” where enthusiastic volunteers will shower participants with dyed cornstarch. The pre-registration form may be found at lhdfoundation.org/colorthon. Sign-up by Oct. 20 for a discount or register at 8 a.m. the day of the event at the Mission Club. Pre-registration cost is $30 for

each adult; $25 each for a Team of 4 and $15 each for participants age 12 and younger. Registration the day of the event is $35 for each adult; $30 each for a Team of 4 and $15 each for participates age 12 and younger. Sponsorship levels are available. Call Outreach Coordinator Karen Ortiz at 805-875-8868 for more information. The 2021 Colorthon will help raise funds to purchase an advanced MRI machine for Lompoc Valley Medical Center. According to a news release, the new MRI will enable faster scan times, higher image quality, more automation and better resolution to allow new types of imaging. As of Sept. 1, 2021, masks are recommended, but not required, for this event. Health and safety protocols are subject to change based on federal, state and local government policies. See lhdfoundation.org for more information and updates. — Dave Mason

Santa Barbara, CA - The most common method your doctor will recommend to treat your neuropathy is with prescription drugs that may temporarily reduce your symptoms. These drugs have names such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Neurontin, and are primarily antidepressant or anti-seizure drugs. These drugs may cause you to feel uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful side effects. The main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. There is now a facility right here in Santa Barbara that offers you new hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects. (see the special neuropathy severity consultation at the end of this article).

The treatment that is provided at Santa Barbara Regenerative Health Clinic has three main goals:

KENNETH SONG/NEWS-PRESS

The day’s dramatic finale The sun sets over Goleta, adding brilliant drama to the end of the day.

The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes electronic cell signaling delivering modulating energy wavelengths at both low and middle frequencies. The signaling improves cell-to-cell communication among small nerve fibers. The cell signaling therapy is like watering a tree. The treatment will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

As long as you have not sustained at least 85% nerve damage there is hope!

Charles Sciutto Lac along with Dr. Teri Bilhartz DO at

Santa Barbara Regenerative Health Clinic, will do a neuropathy severity consultation to review peripheral neuropathy history, symptoms and discuss plan of treatment. This consultation will be free of charge and will help determine if our therapy protocol may be a good fit for your needs.

The difference between Jefferson and Biden

know I promised to examine the fallout from the U.S. military escape from Afghanistan, but I believe it is simply way too early to analyze the real damage that may or has already occurred. Instead, let’s first take a little historical look at how the U.S. handled one particularly troubling situation in its infancy. I suggested in last week’s column that President Joe Biden had made an all-cash deal with Taliban leadership to control and protect U.S. citizens and to allow a certain number of Afghans to leave the country unharmed. If that is so, such payments have a long and glorious history in that region of the world. “From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli, We fight our country’s battles in the Air, on Land and Sea” are the opening words of the Marine Corps Hymn. Most of us know that the “the Shores of Tripoli” is a reference to the confrontation between Barbary Pirates and the fledgling U.S. Navy and Marine Corps in the

late 1700s and early 1800s. had been a fairly lucrative career For hundreds of years, France, choice for many a Libyan sailor Spain, England, Holland, and when President Jefferson’s policy other world powers regularly paid of “Millions for defense but not ransom to North African pirates one penny for ransom” began to who plied their trade menacing take hold. merchant ships along the Barbary Through a series of events and Coast (Morocco, Algeria, ship captures, Tripoli, Tunisia, and Libya) and in a state of hubris, PURELY who’d capture foreigndeclared war on the POLITICAL flagged vessels, enslave United States.

But Thomas Jefferson, our third ablaze, thereby depriving the president, disagreed and decided Libyans of a substantial military to take action. prize. None other than British The U.S. then interrupted what Admiral Horatio Nelson called it

“the most bold and daring act of the age.” But that didn’t rescue the 120-or-so sailors being held captive by the pirates, so Jefferson sent in the newly formed U.S. Marines, who marched across 500 miles of desert to reach the town of Derna, captured the Tripoli leader and raised the new flag of the United States of America above the town. That was then. This is now. The Taliban are in control of nearly all of Afghanistan, and they have been gifted with billions of dollars worth of the latest high-tech U.S. military equipment, including helicopters, troop carriers, thousands of rifles, pistols, grenades, night goggles and a dizzying array of other weapons. They’ve also been provided with lists of Afghans who have been instrumental in keeping the Taliban out of power. And, as seen in various news reports, they are also recipients of millions of U.S. dollars in stacks of $100 bills. My gut feeling is that

those dollars are simply a small part of a gigantic war chest of cash that the new Taliban government has now received and is going to use to pay its troops, manage the takeover and pay off whoever needs to be paid off. No doubt the U.S. military should have been ordered to destroy those confiscated weapons of war, and certainly those lists of Afghan collaborators will become death sentences for many. But the Taliban offensive really did take everyone by surprise; sadly, as far as we know, the vaunted deep state armchair “intelligence” predicted none of that. But we can’t fault our hapless president for making the deal, if that’s what he did. President Biden is not a particularly clever man and certainly not a creative one (his background includes several instances of flagrant plagiarism). Knowing that piles of cash were instrumental in convincing Please see BUCKLEY on C4

umerous questions are circulating regarding the validity and safety of the vaccines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said breakthroughs of the delta variant are infecting the vaccinated. The vaccinated carry 251 times more of the delta viral load than the original COVID strain, which the vaccinated may or may not have had. The narrative again is the pandemic of the unvaccinated, yet it is possibly the contagiousness by breakthrough of the vaccinated onto the unvaccinated that is the problem and causing the uptick in the numbers. In fact, Did You Know? questions why isn’t everyone tested weekly to see who is carrying what could infect any or all of us? Great minds think alike. UCLA announced last week its latest protocol is to require COVID test on the vaccinated as well as the unvaccinated. We have more faith in their program since UCLA is a teaching hospital with a solid reputation. Remember we are all in this together. During a recent Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors meeting regarding the possibility of the mandate of COVID-19 vaccinations, the local firefighters, first responders, previously known as heroes and many callers were referred to by the supervisors, “as believing in myths, as a cult, and that they know nothing of tyranny, Nazism or genocide.” In short, the supervisors made a broad assumption about their constituents who are entitled to voice their own opinion. Public comment is for them to be free to voice their opinion without ridicule or reprisal. In this case the speakers are fearful of losing their employment if they do not go with a program decided by others. Again, this vaccine that is being mandated is for last year’s virus. Go figure. It is noted by many doctors that the broader immunity after having COVID is better than the vaccine. What the experimental vaccine will do to our bodies in the long term is anybody’s guess. Does it decrease our body’s ability to fight infection, to ward off cancer, or to reproduce? With such unknowns, many are unwilling to risk their health with this possible human experiment. In 1947, after World War II, during the Nuremberg Trials, it was decreed never again would experiments on humanity be allowed. What will we see down the road? Who will pay the costs if the mandated suffer adverse reactions? The CDC ‘s tentacles as the voice of authority has overreached to labeling everything a disease, from guns to language. The millions of guns and ammunition left in Afghanistan are now in the hands of the Taliban, and likely the same terrorists who attacked America 20 years ago. And yet the Biden-Harris administration has imminent plans to ban all ammunition from the citizens of the US.! With Please see DONOVAN on C4

here is one basic truth regarding the U.S. military evacuation from Afghanistan. It was a disaster. Yes, it was time to leave Afghanistan, but the way it was done was stupid, chaotic and dangerous. It was one of the most humiliating events in American history. There needs to be an investigation concerning the evacuation. Where is Congress? Questions need to be asked. Why weren’t Americans, Afghan allies and military equipment taken out first? Why was Bagram Air Base abandoned? Why were thousands of ISIS terrorists released from Bagram? Why did we become partners with the Taliban, who have killed many Americans? Our military is the strongest in the world. Why was a list of Americans and Afghan allies given to the Taliban? (A kill list?) Why was President Joe Biden stuck on an Aug. 31 pull out? Who will save the remaining Americans and allies? Why are Afghan refugees being evacuated before Americans? Were they vetted? Some who were evacuated were on the terrorists watch list. Finally, now that the terrorists have been emboldened, will America be hit by another terrorist attack, similar to those on Sept. 11, 2001? As an American citizen, I am outraged, frightened and saddened by the actions of President Biden and his cabinet. Heads must roll, including the president’s. His unrealistic, boneheaded actions have put America and the world in much more danger. Diana Thorn Carpinteria

End the filibuster

ince the 2020 presidential election, state Republicans have passed 18 voter suppression laws in 30 across the country. And there will be more coming out of GOP-held state legislatures before the end of the year unless Congress acts swiftly to protect our voting rights. So far, I have seen more talk than action in the way President Joe Biden has handled our voting rights crisis. He’s advocated for voting rights legislation and asked Congress to take action, but he’s failed to do one very obvious thing that would change this fight: unequivocally support ending the filibuster. The Jim Crow filibuster is the thing standing in the way of passing once-in-a-generation legislation like the For the People

Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. If President Biden actually wants the Senate to pass those bills, he needs to use his influence as president to get the Senate to abolish the filibuster. Anything less is a failure to meet this crisis. Jonathan Bixby Santa Barbara

Good Samaritan likely a Republican

read with interest the letter from the lady who praised an unknown woman in front of her at Albertsons for leaving $20 with the cashier to pay for her groceries (“Good Samaritan,” News-Press, Aug. 29). She said she was very much surprised and told her family and friends about it. She said one of her friends told her it was because God loved her. Another said the woman must have been a Democrat. I disagree. I believe her unknown benefactor was a Republican. It has been my experience that Democrats are generous with other people’s money, thus our massive national debt. Don’t get me wrong, many Republicans are guilty of this too. It is a case of bad vs. less bad. On an individual basis, I believe Republicans are very generous with their own money, more so than Democrats and that is why I believe the lady who left $20 was most likely a Republican. James A. Webster Santa Barbara

More discussion needed about vaccines

t one time, the title of “doctor” held a universal aura, so to speak, of unchallenged respect and authority. Those days are behind us. A good portion of people challenge our medical establishment and rightfully so. There is so much money involved in the medical and pharmaceutical industry that one must do his or her own due diligence to ascertain what is truth and what is not. I am addressing Steve Daniels, M.D.’s letter to the editor (NewsPress, Aug. 22) rebuking Andy Caldwell’s “rants” about COVID-19 treatments. I have never met nor heard of Dr. Daniels, and he could be a medical genius or not. But I do have to question his actual knowledge of which he speaks. The fact that he uses PolitiFact to ascertain the truth or not-the-

truth is disturbing to say the least. He lumps in “climate change” deniers (who would dare argue against “AOC”?) with people who are concerned with government forced vaccinations. I find Mr. Caldwell’s concerns refreshingly unbiased and very convincing. There is still much to learn about the long-term ramifications of these vaccines and more, not less, discussion is needed. I heard from a friend that two of her acquaintances who had the COVID shots came down with COVID. The wife has died, and the husband is being released from the ICU. These are not isolated cases. I fully believe that people who want to get the shots should get them, but I certainly do not agree with the media and government trying to force, either by legal mandate, or use of tired labeling , i.e. right wing extremists and conspiracy theorists, to those of us who do not want them at this time. So, to Dr. Daniel, who thinks Andy Caldwell’s opinions on this subject are pernicious, I find censorship and fact checkers to be pernicious. Monica Bond Santa Barbara

Two seconds of freedom

think of the hundreds of millions of earthlings who suffered unspeakable deaths from ravages of smallpox, bubonic plague, yellow fever, polio, AIDS and dozens of other viral killers. What would they have given for easy access to an effective prevention method? And yet many of the most spoiled people who have ever lived on planet earth won’t touch the shot, hating the thought of losing some two seconds of their precious freedom. One lady in Arizona offered to take up arms against any who would force her to be vaccinated. I would venture she has never publicly avowed to do the same for her freedom of speech, press, religion, or her right to live and work where she wants. Freedom from the needle is greater than all of them for her. Life expectancy in the first decade of the 2000s astonishingly declined for three straight years due to the petulant desire of Americans to treat their bodies however they want. But in 2020, we saw an aggregate yearly decline of anywhere from 14 to 39 times those earlier yearly drops, depending upon ethnicity, according to Virginia Commonwealth University.

Editor’s note: Mark Mix is president of the National Right to Work Committee and National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation. merica’s working men and women have faced unprecedented Zchallenges over the course of the pandemic, and on Labor Day we shouldn’t only be remembering their dedication but redoubling our efforts to protect their individual rights in the workplace. That means there is work to do in California, because it is one of the 23 states lacking a Right to Work law in America. In your state, union officials are granted the power to legally threaten a worker to pay up or else be fired. By imposing a monopoly bargaining contract, all employees in a unionized workplace, even those who reject union membership, can be forced to pay union fees as a condition of employment. While the landmark 2018 U.S. Supreme Court Janus v. AFSCME decision now protects all public sector workers from compelled union payments, private sector workers in California and other forced-unionism states can still be required to fund union officials’ activities, even if they bitterly oppose the union’s so-called “representation.” The vast majority of Americans recognize that this is just plain wrong. From year to year polls consistently show that around eight in 10 Americans reject the idea that someone should be forced to bankroll unwanted union boss activities just to keep his or her job. Similarly, polls have found that even 80 percent of union members believe union membership and dues should be voluntary and not a condition of employment. In addition to falling short in protecting workers’ rights, forced-unionism states fell painfully behind their Right to Work counterparts in recovering from the economic disruption of COVID-19. According to Labor Department stats from July, from April 2020 to April 2021, Right to Work states posted a recovery in manufacturing payroll jobs roughly 60% stronger by percentage than the one forcedunionism states had during the same time period. Sluggish job growth in forced-unionism states was not limited to just the pandemic recovery. A National Institute for Labor Relations Research analysis points out that, from 2020 back to 2010, employment in states lacking Right to Work protections increased by only 2.4%, paling in comparison to Right to Work states’ 11.0% jump in the same decade. It’s no surprise, then, that Right to Work states passed the milestone just last year of now playing host to the majority of employed people in the United States, according to the Department of Labor’s Household Survey.

Ivermectin: Horse hockey vs. truth

hhhhh. The information I’m about to share with you is dangerous and subversive. You cannot publish it on social media platforms without risking scary labels and permanent suspensions. You and anyone you discuss this topic with will be called anti-science “kooks,” “conspiracy theorists” or “quacks.” So be it. I’ve been called every pejorative name in the globalist elites’ overworn handbook of ad hominem attacks over the past 30 years. Who cares? The airwaves have been littered the past month with disparaging reports about ivermectin, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns should not be used to treat or prevent COVID-19. “You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it,” the official FDA Twitter account snidely admonished last week. Well, you are not a sheep either. So don’t be cowed by Big Pharma and their bought-off Swamp bureaucrats. Seriously, y’all. These are the performative actors who’ve flipped and flopped on masks, rushed experimental jabs to market, brazenly denied deadly adverse events and advocated mix-and-match booster shots as part of the most notorious junk science experiment in human history.

Boys liked her because she was pretty as well as smart. Some girls teased her for her looks and brains. Juniorhigh school had been tough on her. When I told my parents that I didn’t know what to do for Show and Tell the first week of school, my mother suggested that I learn to make Swedish coffee bread with

My grandfather got work building the New York El, and my grandmother became a cook for a prominent family on the Upper East side of Manhattan. When they were in their 60s, they came to live with us in Weston, in an apartment over our garage. Christina and I were the only children in Weston, who grew up with immigrant

grandparents with a foreign language spoken at home. We were also the only children in town, with a grandmother, who, every other Sunday, baked fläta, a heavenly, braided loaves and buns of cardamom-laced coffee bread that Swedish children were brought up on. The heady aroma from Nelsie’s kitchen when she baked fläta filled our house. If Nelsie happened to have any leftovers when she babysat many of Weston’s lucky children, she would bring some buns with her. Those children adored her, fläta or no fläta. As Labor Day approached, I still hadn’t decided if my mother’s suggestion of telling my seventhgrade class about baking with Nelsie would guarantee my popularity in juniorhigh school. Did I really want to risk being even more different or teased? My father, a professional storyteller, who used not only words, but also drawings and photos to tell his tales in magazines, finally convinced me. “Why not ask Nelsie if you can help her make fläta next Sunday before school starts”, he suggested. “And ask her if you can make enough braided buns for everyone in the class to have one, including the teacher.” That Sunday before Labor Day, I spent several hours with Nelsie, mixing flour, butter, eggs, sugar, yeast, salt and cardamom, dividing and braiding dough into 15 buns and waiting until they doubled in size. Finally, Nelsie showed me how to glaze the buns and then pop them in the oven to bake. Please see CORNER on C4

oliticians love force. The idea of leaving us alone to make our own decisions goes against their nature. To be sure, civilized society sometimes needs government force: police to punish killers, soldiers to protect us from foreign invaders, environmental police to stop my smoke from flowing to your lungs ... But the political class always goes too far. Now some want medical police to force everyone to get vaccinated. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already. “It has!” you say. “I have to get vaccinated to keep my job, for my kids to attend school, to go to the movies, a restaurant, etc.” That’s force, absolutely. But it’s not mandatory. There’s an out. We don’t have to work for the government, eat indoors or go to a movie theater. We can home-school our kids. We still have a choice. So far, politicians haven’t sent police into homes to force everyone to get vaccinated. They did do that once. In Philadelphia 30 years ago, a measles outbreak sickened 1,400 people, mostly children and killed nine. The outbreak spread because leaders of two fundamentalist churches told congregants to refuse the vaccine; God would do the healing. Philadelphia’s health department got a court order that compelled parents to allow their kids to be vaccinated. Remarkably, “they complied with the law,” vaccine expert Dr. Paul Offit said in my new video. “They were law-abiding.” The Philadelphia parents didn’t fight the order. That ended the epidemic. But I doubt that vaccineresistant Americans would be similarly compliant today. Now there’s an anti-vaccine movement. I’m surprised by the outpouring of hatred for Offit on my YouTube and Facebook channels that follows my video. Some of it is nonsense from ignorant anti-vaxxers. But I respect commenters expressing versions of the chant, “My body, my choice!” hat slogan makes a good point. We are not really free if we don’t own our own bodies.

the ammunitions, and military hardware we abandoned, the Taliban flew their first victim hanging from an American Blackhawk helicopter over Kabul as a warning to all the people left behind at 3:40 p.m. last Monday. The display of inhumanity is like the Khmer Rouge, in Saigon, only with more moving pieces and more at stake. Slit throats, decapitated heads, all while demanding money. A young man 19 years ago remarked that America coming together after 9/11 wouldn’t last. Americans care, but they forget so quickly. Heard of Operation Pineapple? Veterans of our armed forces, with the aid of nonprofits and on their own time. have rescued more than 750 Afghans who worked side by side with our military in Afghanistan during the last 20 years. Veterans never forget. However, our elected officials do. They should be executing the rescue of the Americans, our Afghan partners, our soldiers and our military equipment. On Sept. 1, Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the orders to evacuate were received weeks ago, not months. While the “thought police” are “masking” themselves as the CDC — the Center for Disease Control — (emphasis on control) who once were a respected authority for us pedestrians. The CDC is spending our time and money presenting “preferred terms for select population groups and communities,” with an emphasis on “non-stigmatizing “language. From their handbook, “the terms to try to use represent an ongoing shift toward nonstigmatizing language.” The idiocy is so rampant — it includes “smokers” should be referred to as “people who smoke”, drug addicts are — “people who use drugs.” This is subterfuge for what is really going on in our country — the CDC, an unelected body controlling the citizens by their edicts of what can or cannot be done, and now what can or cannot be said “for the health and safety of others.” And speaking of the powers that be, did you receive your SB Clean Energy notice in the mail? The Santa Barbara City Council has appointed itself as its own clean energy company representing all of us and has automatically enrolled us! You must opt out of the new company “SB Clean Energy”, if you wish to remain with Edison. Either way, the power and the billing, is coming via So Cal Edison.

California. In fact, Gov. Gavin Newsom already buys electricity from several states. And for those with electric cars, you may have heard, he implores them not to charge the battery-operated cars between the hours of 5 and 10 p.m. We inquired why our local Assemblyman Steve Bennett did not vote on the housing bill SB9 and were told he had a medical absence. He made a miraculous recovery the next morning and was available for a photo shoot in Santa Barbara, with other elected officials banding together “for the “Vote NO on Newsom’s Recall.” Witness Assemblyman Bennett’s priorities, as he follows the narrative. Again, people are distracted putting out fires, so much so they can’t see the forest for the trees. Let us recall the reasons for the recall. A short list: A lockdown crisis while Newsom dines at the French Laundry and keeps his winery open for business, crime crisis while Gov. Newsom grants early release to tens of thousands of violent and repeat felons, homeless crises. A cost of living crisis. A wildfire crisis. Gov. Newsom cut the wildfire budget by $150 million. There was also an education shutdown while Gov. Newsom’s children attend private school in-person. And there was an incompetence crisis. The

Newsom has done nothing to address any of these crises. Either way, the last day to turn in your ballot for the recall is Tuesday Sept. 14. Happy Labor Day weekend. So much happening in our world, and all at once. This Wednesday from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m., a Recall Newsom Rally with Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder jwill take place at the Santa Barbara Courthouse Sunken Gardens. This Saturday, make time to watch the Nebraska Cornhuskers football game.

both employees and businesses, but the protections exist first and foremost to safeguard each individual worker’s right to decide freely whether union officials deserve financial support. And of course, Right to Work does nothing to stop workers from affiliating with a union if they choose to voluntarily. In fact, Right to Work presses union bosses to become more accountable, as they know that they can’t depend on government-

granted power to keep employee money rolling into their coffers and that they must instead earn that support by being responsive to their needs. The working men and women of California and America as a whole deserve this kind of protection. So this Labor Day, consider the benefits of Right to Work and demand your elected officials embrace worker freedom and economic opportunity.

Crazy stories are emerging like they always do, none with any real facts or backup. The funny thing is, it doesn’t matter who’s in front. It matters that enough people say yes to the recall and that ALL the votes get counted. The candidates running are the medicine that could be the beginning of the cure to get rid of the infection. Another thing I noted on my trip is that when government, state or federal is involved in anything it’s always worse than private enterprise. No big news there. All roads leading to Yellowstone before you entered the park were in good shape, but once you went through the gate, they became physically worse. The park is of course owned and run by the feds, which also explains why things are

so run down. We stayed at Yellowstone Lake Lodge, had never been there before. We’re likely never going back. You could see at one time in its heyday it had been beautiful. Now porch railings have rotted away, the paint is about 10 years behind from being redone, the cabins are still stuck in the 70’s. Despite that, it’s Yellowston, and you can’t take the beauty away. The same rule applies to California, it is a beautiful state. It is filled with such wonderful diversity. We have the largest trees on the planet, the most magnificent coastline. We have the kind of landscape imaginable. We have great people and a fantastic climate.

It’s time we end running our state based on political ideology and start using common sense again. Let’s focus on the kids instead of the unions. Embrace business and help them to flourish. Reduce our taxes once and for all and operate within our means. Cut back the enormous amount of regulations and stop making more. At some point how many rules and more laws do we need? Other states should be so lucky to have what this one state alone is blessed with. Let’s work with this treasure, polish it back up and become the Golden State again. We can start with hopefully a new leader next week. If not, well, time to move. Just change your license plate before you get where you’re going.

band, for example, fell prey to the siren call of rogue protection when members hired the Hells Angels motorcycle gang to serve as “security” at the band’s Altamont concert in 1969, which sadly included the stabbing death of a concertgoer. Upon making the deal, the Biden administration probably felt reasonably secure that delaying cash payments until all U.S. troops were gone would secure Taliban cooperation. The question is, why wouldn’t Taliban leaders take that deal? After all, they were getting everything they’ve been fighting for and could possibly want. Deep down, no doubt, many of

the Taliban would love to have embarrassed and punished the U.S. for what they saw as interference in their internal affairs, but leadership prevailed in holding back virtually all actions of retribution. And a deal was struck, as such deals have been struck in that part of the world for a thousand years. If the Biden administration hadn’t done what I believe it did, the level of bloodbath that may well have occurred at the end of the U.S. involvement in and around that God-forsaken airport in Kabul, would have been of historical, even biblical proportions. As it is, Afghanistan

lost 100-plus unfortunate residents — men, women, and children — and the U.S. lost 11 good young men and two beautiful young women — 13 service members whose futures seemed so promising and whose lives were cut short by intelligence ineptitude of the highest order. This may not sound like a “conservative” idea, but I do believe it’s time to start calling for defunding one or more of the 17 or more bloated so-called intelligence agencies.

I listened with fear to his “words,” just words, no safe action or idea was presented, and with September 11 on the horizon, and having witnessed the Twin Towers and Pentagon, fresh in my mind, I pray to our Supreme Being to watch and guide us. And after listening to Joe Biden, I see he blames former President Trump for this fiasco. If you love this country and the safety of those who protect and inhabit this United States, before

China is eying Afghanistan

any are asking, “Why is President Joe Biden doing what he is doing to America and the world?” It is really a simple answer if you change your perspective a little bit. President Biden has imported a million immigrants, many with COVID-19, halted the USA energy production, pushed a $5 trillion inflationary budget, and surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban. It all looks crazy. None of this makes any sense if you assume Mr. Biden has America’s interests at heart. But if he is the “Manchurian candidate” bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party, then it makes perfect sense. The blood of several hundred thousand Afghans will not only be on the hands of Joseph Biden, but on the hands of everyone who voted for him! Prediction: Within a year, China will move into Afghanistan to develop the oil and mineral resources. Once established, the Chinese army will then exterminate the Taliban because the CCP does not tolerate any religion but communism. Dave Barker Santa Barbara

Continued from Page C3 Drug War.) Individuals should get to decide what’s put in our own bodies. But a deadly pandemic is a special case. COVID-19 continues to kill, partly because some people refuse the vaccine. “This virus has a great many friends,” Dr. Offit complained. “Science denialists, conspiracy theorists, political pundits. It’s hard to watch.” “People have reason to be suspicious!” I told him. “The government has experimented on people and lied to people.” (Officials once promised black syphilis patients treatment but gave them empty pills. The CIA sneaked LSD into people’s drinks. More recently, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Americans don’t need to wear masks, then he said we should wear masks.) “I’m not saying that the government hasn’t done things that make one trust them less,” Offit responded to me. “Or that the CDC hasn’t made statements that were incorrect, (but) such is the nature of science. You do learn as you go.” What we have learned now is that the vaccine does dramatically reduce hospitalization and death, and we’d all be better off if more people took it.

But Dr. Offit pointed out that even after delta, “99.5% of people killed by this virus are unvaccinated! Ninety-seven percent of those hospitalized are unvaccinated! No vaccine works 100%.” Today’s COVID-19 vaccines have now been tested on millions of people. It’s clear that they are very safe, and that they save lives. It’s why Dr. Offit would mandate vaccinations. That’s where we disagree. I consider vaccine refusers foolish and selfish. I got vaccinated, and I wish you would. But government should never force a treatment on people. That’s tyranny. That said, I shouldn’t say “never.” If you are proven a direct threat to others — if your behavior kills — then the safety police do have a right to step in to stop you from hurting others.

Will there even be opportunities for America’s children to get in front of their schoolmates and relate correctly and unmasked, without being shamed for their summer experiences, good, bad or just different?
