ONE STEP CLOSER TO EQUAL PAY PHOTO BY LOCUS STUDIOS

2 CLU MAGAZINE

Norway boasts one of the world’s narrowest pay gaps between men and women who do similar work. To explain this, Charlotte Sweeney ’91 points to the government's yearly custom of publishing the salaries of every person in the country. That act of transparency removes some of the employers’ advantage in salary negotiations and places pay disparities in plain sight.

A Denver employment lawyer who focuses on sex discrimination, Sweeney is a principal author of Colorado’s new Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, which was signed into law in May and will take effect on the first day of 2021.

Although the state law won’t turn Colo­rado into Norway, it will give workers leverage partly by changing what

information is shared. One of its innovative provisions requires employers to post job and promotion opportunities for all employees to see on the same day, “even if it’s the janitor.” Postings are to include a salary range, benefits and perks such as a car allowance or stock options, giving applicants a common starting point for negotiations.

The law also prevents employers from asking for salary histories, information that, intentionally or not, has been used to perpetuate unfair pay for women and especially women of color.

“A lot of people want to blame the pay gap on choosing to have a family, not working as hard or not being able to negotiate,” Sweeney said. “No, this comes at the moment you enter the workforce.”

At Cal Lutheran, the late English professor Jan Bowman had a large role in showing Sweeney that “there’s a lot of injustice out there” and that “you can change things.” The women’s studies pioneer would not just observe a student’s passion, according to Sweeney, “but then she would foster it and nurture it, and almost make it impossible for you not to pursue it.”

Last year, Sweeney’s firm settled a big case for female law professors at the University of Denver, winning $2.7 million plus pay increases for a group that included two of her former teachers. She notes that pay gaps are greatest, first, for women who are members of racial and ethnic minorities and, second, for those in jobs requiring advanced degrees like medicine, finance and law.

About a decade ago, she began her pro bono work toward a state equal pay law, something that she felt needed to be done to limit the ways in which employers could justify pay gaps. She and colleagues decided to draft a comprehensive bill in 2018 and saw their opportunity to pass it after the November elections.

Finally closing the pay gap would lift half of single women in Colorado out of poverty, Sweeney said. The new law will not accomplish that goal by itself, and Sweeney dreams of starting a nonprofit to help women negotiate and advocate for themselves. A specialist in injustices, she keeps searching for ways to put herself out of business. —Kevin Matthews

WHAT BLOTTED THE SUN AND BROUGHT THE PLAGUE?

Tree ring evidence helped Robert Dull, the new chair of earth and environmental sciences, to identify a volcanic eruption as a culprit in world-altering events.

PHOTO BY BRIAN STETHEM ’84

If Ilopango came for you, there was no escape.

In A.D. 539 or 540, the largest volcanic eruption witnessed by humans in Central America immediately killed between 40,000 and 80,000 people and soon led to the death or displacement of hundreds of thousands more, according to estimates by Robert Dull, an incoming faculty member and the lead author on a study published this August in Quaternary Science Reviews.

“It’s a flame thrower, and you cannot run,” said Dull, indicating on his team’s map where superheated gas and pulverized rock flowed. “This shows you the area where everybody died.”

Although the shocks to Maya civilization were significant, they represented only the regional effects of the eruption.

As it happened, just three or four years earlier, in 536, a separate volcanic eruption at a northern latitude had been large enough to darken skies and cause crop failures. When Ilopango blew up into the stratosphere, its load of sulphur dioxide spread around much of the globe to reflect solar rays away from Earth.

The combined effect of these eruptions produced a 14-year cooling event across the Northern Hemisphere. Average temperatures dropped by as much as 3.6 degrees Celsius, causing famine and societal disruptions. The cooling is even tied to the first outbreak of bubonic plague in Europe in 541.

Generations of geologists and other scientists have disputed both the dating of the Ilopango eruption and the source of the sixth century’s big chill. Some theorized that an asteroid or comet did the dirty work.

Dull’s longstanding interest in the case was renewed in 2018 with two discoveries. Volcanic ash from 536 was found in a Greenland ice core, suggesting that volcanic activity was a more likely explanation for the cooling episode than space rocks. Also that year, German researchers pulled up marine sediments showing that Ilopango was far larger in magnitude than anyone had thought.

In 2012, Dull and colleagues visited a site known as El Mico on the outside edge of Ilopango’s old kill zone. Detailed at right are a few results from that journey. —Kevin Matthews 4 CLU MAGAZINE

Ash from the Ilopango eruption, commonly known as Tierra Blanca Joven or “young white earth,” is distinctive in appearance and found all over El Salvador.

Most vegetation in the eruption’s path was hurled aside or cooked in place at temperatures of about 500 degrees Celsius. In the tropics, what did not burn would shortly decompose. Still, Dull and his team found the lower half of this tree rooted in place at a site called El Mico on the outside edge of the original pyroclastic flow.

ILOPANGO IN BULL’S-EYE On its own, this tree cross-section yielded enough evidence to rule out the fifth century as the date of the Ilopango eruption. It was a sixthcentury blast!

The rotted center may indicate that this tree was a dead “snag” at the time of the eruption. It stopped growing a decade or more before two other trees the team sampled.

The team dated all of the rings from the outside bark to the rotted center. As bad luck would have it, the fifth and sixth centuries are a tough time period for dating with Carbon-14 evidence. But the large number of data points limited the uncertainty.

Applying a statistical analysis to about 100 radiocarbon dates from three trees at two sites, the team concluded that the eruption probably happened in the 530s or 540s.

By building an affirmative case and ruling out other eruptions, Dull and his team showed that Ilopango must have been responsible for volcanic sulfate peaks in ice cores from both the north and south poles that date to A.D. 540. The eruption occurred that year or (probably, said Dull) one calendar year earlier, setting off local and global disasters.

What made El Mico special was the preservation of organic matter under layers of fallen ash in, as Dull puts it, a “sudden, massive entombment.”

WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE CENTRUM THIS TIME?

Kimball to Step Down as President

A

T

he Centrum Café, our iconic see-through structure with skyward roofs, was being transformed into a location of the Habit Burger Grill as this magazine issue went to press. Ahead of the official opening for the spring semester, it was expected to start training workers and selling sandwiches in November.

All of the building’s exterior features remain intact, including retro signage above the front entryways.

The glass walls weren’t up to code and had to be replaced, affording an opportunity to put in the same energy-efficient tinted glass seen

in new campus buildings and some older ones. From inside, the grass looks a little greener.

Since it was dedicated in 1962, the building at different moments has housed a library annex, a bookstore and student services. In the fall of 2002, it reopened as a modern alternative to the main cafeteria featuring evening hours – but has not been, until now, part of a popular restaurant chain with 200-plus locations. Though not visible to passing cars, the Habit seems likely to bring foot traffic and prolong campus visits, just as Starbucks has done.

fter 12 years in the role, President Chris Kimball will step down at the end of the academic year. The professor and onetime provost will go back to the classroom, which he had not entirely left. He was featured in our April 2016 issue for a course that looked at U.S. history through the prism of baseball.

“After nearly 20 years in university leadership positions, I look forward to the opportunity to return to teaching, as I had always planned, and to spend time on writing projects, some long overdue.”

Wherever the credit ought to go – and the seventh president has never been one to claim it – the university had a streak of successes on his watch. Enrollment climbed. Rankings climbed.

Buildings went up, including the early childhood center, the stadium and gallery, the dining commons, and modern homes for the social sciences, the visual arts and now the natural sciences. The endowment went up. Alumni visitors return to a filled-out campus with a diverse student body.

At yet another game or speaking event, Kimball likely is representing Cal Lutheran as you read this. He is pictured on the day his presidency was announced in 2008 and, below, throwing out a first pitch, serving Tater Tots at Late Night Breakfast, and in Kingsmen Park at Let It Snow.

Ten nonspeaking people with autism explain how they found their voices through alternative communication methods in a 2019 book edited

by Edlyn Peña, the director of the Autism and Communication Center. From multiple generations and backgrounds, the authors of Communication Alternatives in Autism: Perspectives on Typing and Spelling Approaches for the Nonspeaking document both the limited opportunities at a time when autistic children were institutionalized and the challenges faced by those with access to mainstream instruction in high school or college.

In the book, Cal Lutheran psychology major Dillan Barmache describes the frustration of being stuck repeating lessons that were far too easy because he couldn’t indicate his understanding through voice or gestures. With the help of a new teacher, he eventually moved into advanced classes and gave a speech at his eighth grade graduation by typing it into a tablet and letting the computer’s voice speak for him.

“I am so ready to let the world know that they are all wrong about autism,” Barmache writes. “There are so many of us, and it’s time to listen to our message [and] include us in all of the decisions that must be made.”

Q&A From Cal Lutheran’s seminary in Berkeley, Cynthia Moe-Lobeda helps people in faith communities and secular society to be agents of justice.

BRIAN STETHEM ’84

The day you opened your eyes to systemic injustices, you were on a Lutheran youth retreat? Yes, it happened when I was 14 and we saw a film about the exploitation of people in the Caribbean by major corporations that provided our cheap breakfast food.

That shaped my life.

Cynthia Moe-Lobeda, a professor of theological and social ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, worked to gain approval for a new Master of Divinity concentration in climate justice and faith. The seminary has been part of the university since 2014.

HOPE IN ALL CLIMATES

10 CLU MAGAZINE

And now you focus on climate justice.

My work has also revolved around racial justice and economic justice because race and economic injustice and climate are all mixed together. I have just finished a couple of chapters on “climate colonialism.” Colleagues in India taught me that term. It points to the fact that climate change is devastating people around the globe who are least responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, and they are disproportionately economically impoverished people, people of color, and living on the continents colonized in the colonial era.

What do theology and religion have to do with this? I believe the world’s great faith traditions have a great deal to offer in understanding and motivating action toward climate justice, racial justice and economic justice.

It’s interesting today how many secular voices are calling for religion to be involved in the climate crisis: voices from the U.N., voices from many nongovernmental organizations, voices from the literary world.

Toward the end of a recent book about climate change, The Great Derangement, Amitav Ghosh, who is an Indian literary figure, says one of his greatest hopes is in religion.

Religion isn’t on Earth just to serve religious people. It’s on Earth to serve ways of living where the whole web of life can flourish and all people can have lives with justice and joy.

CLU ADMINISTRATION In your 2013 book Resisting Structural Evil, you introduce the idea of a sin of “uncreating.” For someone reading the Bible, what does it mean to “uncreate”?

Christian and Jewish faith claims that God created a world that is “good.” The Hebrew tov, while translated as “good,” also implies “life-furthering.” So, the primal act of God – creation – is not merely to create a magnificent world, but a magnificently life-furthering world. This is a terrifying thought, that by fueling climate change, we are undoing that very “tov,” Earth’s life-generating capacity. This is the sin of uncreating.

Various religions deal with sin differently. The faith tradition I’m situated in, the Lutheran tradition, also says that God’s grace is infinite and that we are not ultimately condemned. But that that does not free us to go on with sin! It frees us to renounce and repent and turn a different direction.

So, one theological or biblical reading would be: We can’t really repent of the sin of uncreating without recognizing it. Therefore, it is tremendously important that we recognize what we are doing in climate change.

Repentance doesn’t mean just saying, “I’m sorry.” Repentance means turning the other direction. The Holy Spirit empowers us for tremendous repentance. That would mean becoming generators of sustainable ways of life, regenerative ways of life, rather than climate-destructive ways of life.

Does that mean ending capitalism? I’d rather say that the economy of the future won’t be profit-maximizing. Advanced global capitalism aims at maximizing profit, growth, and consumption – sometimes at terrible cost. The economy of the future won’t be maximizing those things because the Earth can’t support it.

The economic system – we can change it. Humans will decide which way it goes.

It can go toward increasing wealth concentration and ecological degradation, or we can change the economy to promote equity among human beings and the flourishing of Earth’s ecosystems.

Do you have practical guidance on this?

I’m working on an edited series of books designed to help economically privileged North Americans who want to be building more equitable, ecological and democratic

economies. I see that many, many people are realizing that finance-driven capitalism is not serving human well-being or the Earth’s well-being – but don’t know how to be involved in creating something different.

How are you involved, day to day? I, like everybody, am not living into the new economy as fully as I hunger to be doing. And I want to be clear that I do not see myself as an exemplar in any way. I am just making my efforts.

I guess my philosophy is that you have to work on the lifestyle level and the systemic level. I firmly believe that people’s lifestyle practices are crucial, but not adequate to achieve a more just and ecological economy.

People need to be involved in efforts for systemic change. I believe that is integral to the life of faith, and leaders in many of Earth’s religious traditions are saying so, including Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Buddhist traditions.

Could you please list some things? On the lifestyle level, I have been practicing what I would call anti-consumerism, a lowconsumption lifestyle, since I was about 14.

That involves things like not buying new clothing or new accessories. I use hand-medowns or the secondhand store. And we try to eat low on the food chain. We eat a lot of local fruits and vegetables, no red meat, and little poultry and fish. We try to use as little fossil-fuel based energy as possible, so we have one electric car and one hybrid, and definitely don’t turn on air conditioning in our home.

On a more systemic level, we try to have all of our savings in socially just and ecologically sustainable funds. And I remain on alerts for legislative action nationally and locally, and participate when I can in protest movements. I want to be more involved with 350.org and other climate justice groups but really struggle with finding the time.

You’re not convinced that’s enough, are you? In the face of climate change, one of the things I have been learning to do is to live in paradox. I live in the paradox of hope and despair held together, but letting hope win out. I live in the paradox of joy and sorrow held together – and the world’s beauty and brutality held together. Those are paradoxes which I’m trying to live with.

Behind Every Scientist

BRIAN STETHEM ’84

BRIAN STETHEM ’84

When our graduates put their names on discoveries, they’ll remember mentors.

Faculty mentor Craig Reinhart (left) "single-handedly" motivated Donovan Argueta ’14 to go to graduate school, according to the newly minted PhD. Emily Armbruster ’19 (top) was able to see her own aptitude for teaching and research by working under biologist Paloma Vargas and others. In Grady Hanrahan’s and then Dennis Revie’s labs, Sal Brito ’16 learned what science was: “If I had not gotten into research from the very beginning, maybe it would have been a different story.”

O

ne of the university’s selling points is the low studentfaculty ratio, which stands at 15 to 1. As a first-generation college applicant, Sal Brito ’16 didn’t receive a lot of guidance on how to pick a school, but he knew to watch that number. It was the main reason the Oxnard native chose Cal Lutheran.

But what does the number mean? Beyond smaller average class sizes, the low student-faculty ratio affords students more ways to find out and to get experience in what they love doing and, crucially for Brito, more attention from potential advisers and mentors. After being approached by chemistry professor 12 CLU MAGAZINE

Grady Hanrahan, he became the only freshman in a small lab environment with three other students.

“At the time, I had really no idea what research was,” said Brito, who is in his fourth year of the neuroscience PhD program at Harvard University. “I thank [Hanrahan] a lot because it was his initiative to get me in his lab and just get my feet wet about what science really was.”

Although alumni from any program at Cal Lutheran could shed light on mentorship, for this article we spoke with a few very recent graduates who have gone on to doctoral programs in the biological sciences and allied fields.

Mentors are selfless, like parents When Yasi Mojab ’19 immigrated to the United States at age 11, she spoke only Persian and needed her father’s aid to read her new school textbooks. Somehow, she managed to make the seventh grade honor roll in her first semester.

Donovan Argueta ’14 was about 7 or 8 when a secondhand microscope and some old slides caught his eye. His parents made the nonessential purchase because of the curiosity he showed, and he remembers the microscope as one of the things that set him on his path in life. Even though Argueta’s parents hadn’t been able to pursue higher education, they never left a doubt that their children could.

Before college, Emily Armbruster ’19 was a product of schooling primarily by her mother in her Simi Valley home.

She has been “interested in science, specifically biology, since I can remember,” beginning with books on germs and microbiology that her mother read to her and her younger sisters.

Brito remembers how his parents sheltered him from their economic worries, letting him focus on school. They pushed him until he took responsibility for his own academic success in middle and high school, where a psychology class sparked his fascination with the brain.

All of these formative experiences, in which education was one product of caring, find echoes in mentoring relationships.

Rather than attempt to pass along their projects and research questions, strong mentors, like parents, listen well and give younger people room to invent and to raise their own.

Mentoring is a team sport, or a relay Young college students travel rapid intellectual arcs as they begin to grasp complex problems and discover which ones, for them, make study worthwhile. Armbruster recalls how her professors both deepened her understanding of biology and caused her to see where it intersected the public good. She had courses with Jason Kingsbury, Theresa Rogers, Chad Barber and others, and Paloma Vargas stood out as both a teacher and life mentor.

“My time in Dr. Paloma Vargas’ emerging infectious diseases class gave me some insight into the connection between biology and public health and global politics. They’re interconnected in a way I didn’t appreciate before. That inspired me to stay in this field,” said the biology graduate, now in the biological sciences PhD program at UC San Diego.

Before college, Mojab had taken exactly one biology course and did not picture herself pursuing a doctorate “at all.” But late in the second semester of organic chemistry with Kingsbury, she became fascinated with the molecular structures of drugs, how they interact with enzymes and other molecules, and how different configurations even of the same molecule can produce drastic side effects. “That was the moment that I considered pharmacy as a career,” she said.

In the lab of her mentor, biochemist and molecular biologist Kate Hoffmann, Mojab learned about drug design based on atomic-level structures and felt profoundly reassured of her choice. “After that research, I was sure I wanted to do this,” she said. She also found the confidence to create a path of her own.

Yasi Mojab confirmed her choice in Kate Hoffmann’s lab: “This is my path. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life.”

She minored in art, took on a second major in chemistry, did an independent study with David Marcey about macromolecular structures, and relied on her support network to get through stressful graduate applications. Now, she has started the University of Southern California’s doctoral program in pharmacy.

Partly because Cal Lutheran didn’t offer neuroscience as a major, Brito also ended up fashioning his own course of study, finally graduating with a BS in biology and BA in psychology.

All the while, his work in laboratories moved ahead on a parallel track. The subject matter of laboratory work with Hanrahan and then Dennis Revie, an expert in infectious diseases who has since retired, was always interesting to him, but not the main thing. “What helped me ultimately was the experience itself, knowing what a lab environment was like,” he said.

Argueta credits a single faculty member, Craig Reinhart of computer science and bioengineering, with motivating him to go on to graduate school. As a first-generation college student, he also found a support system that included Elena Jaloma ’03, MS ’08, MPPA ’15, now the director of Student Support Services, and Sergio Galvez ’03, MPPA ’09, the senior director of programs including Upward Bound, where Argueta worked one of his college jobs. Jaloma and Galvez “were pretty big in helping me see what other options there were past college,” he said. “It’s easy to get stuck in just a college mindset.”

Mentoring begets big thinking – and mentors Argueta this year finished his PhD in bioengineering at UC Riverside, on schedule, and moved on to postdoctoral work at UC Irvine. An expert in the endocannabinoid system and in making assays to show how it works, he has investigated the causes of obesity and, more recently, pain management for people with sickle-cell disease. The most common genetic disorder, sickle-cell affects Hispanics more than once thought and is under-treated, Argueta said. Chemicals already produced by the body have a potential to make it more bearable, he said.

He also likes helping other young scientists, particularly first-generation college students.

Armbruster feels “drawn toward academia” partly because of the chance to mentor others. She had her first such experience as a tutor in Cal Lutheran’s ALLIES in STEM program. “I would love to be able to mentor students and push them to really chase their aspirations the way I had professors doing for me."

Since starting his program at Harvard, Brito has taken some formal and informal opportunities to mentor. “Drs. Hanrahan and Revie approached me, and that has guided me to emulate them and basically be like them to others,” he said. “Reaching out to people who I think may need help and asking what their interests are – that is a big component.” —Kevin Matthews DECEMBER 2019

The Marvelous

MR. AMODEI

The illusionist and onetime marketing major has embarked on a nationwide tour, the most ambitious phase of his career in confounding the senses and transforming the world for audiences.

BY TONY BIASOTTI / / LEAD PHOTO BY BRIAN STETHEM ’84

W

hile in college, Ivan Amodei ’92 had a job waiting tables in Thousand Oaks at the Velvet Turtle, a nowdefunct fine dining chain. Amodei and his fellow student waiters made a pact: “We all decided when we graduated college we were going to quit,” he said. “I thought it would be too easy to stay. A lot of people with degrees did stay and wait tables.”

The marketing major left the restaurant as promised and went looking for work, until it dawned on him that none of the jobs on offer were better than the one he still had: magic.

Amodei started practicing card tricks and other illusions when he was around 5 years old, and by the time he finished college he was performing at the Magic Castle in Hollywood and working parties.

“Just fooling around with my magic, doing corporate events, I was making more money than some of these corporate jobs I was interviewing for,” Amodei said. “I thought, ‘I don’t have a family, I don’t have kids. Nobody’s going to starve except me if I fail, so I might as well give this a whirl.’”

Twenty-seven years later, Amodei is in a small class of entertainers: a professional stage magician who tours the country playing before crowds of hundreds or even thousands. In 2016, he appeared on “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” and fooled the famous hosts, with a trick that is still a part of his act. Amodei debuted his new show, “Secrets & Illusions,” in the summer of 2019 and started a nationwide tour in September that will last into 2020.

There is a large worldwide community of magicians, but most are hobbyists or part-timers, said Michael Gerson, an associate professor of graduate psychology at Cal Lutheran and an amateur magician himself, though he’s never met Amodei or seen him perform.

Gerson studies the use of magic in therapy, and has a paper under review at a psychology journal on magic’s potential as an intervention tactic for children on the autism spectrum.

16 CLU MAGAZINE

“Magic really pushes the limits of our thinking,” he said.

“We’re using our normal senses to try to understand an experience, and it fools us; our senses fall short. There are limits or contradictions to the information we take in through our sense. From a psychological point of view, it’s important because it makes us question how we know things. It makes us reflect on our sense of certainty about the world.”

In a way, it’s remarkable that stage magic like Amodei’s retains its appeal, Gerson said, since in the world of 2019 we can watch seamless digital illusions in movies and immerse ourselves in fantasy worlds through video games.

The distinct appeal of watching and pulling off live illusions was something Amodei understood as a child. He now lives with his wife and their 13-year-old twins in the Somis area, north of Camarillo, California, on a property that includes a 30acre lemon orchard.

He was born in a small town in Sicily and moved to New York City at the age of 2, when his parents and his uncle, all hairdressers, opened their own salon. When he was about 5 years old, his parents had a party, and one of the guests performed a few magic tricks. Amodei was hooked. He found a magic shop in his Brooklyn neighborhood, and the owner taught him card and coin tricks and let him read books on tricks and techniques. Before long, he was demonstrating magic for the customers.

When Amodei was a teenager, his family moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, and then to California. He attended Thousand Oaks High School, went to work at the Velvet Turtle, and moved out on his own after his parents divorced. He took a year off after high school and enrolled at Cal Lutheran.

“I lived in an apartment right around the corner from campus,” Amodei said. “I made a lot of friends there and I really loved it.”

The Card Sharp with the Ace of Diamonds, a 17th-century painting

by Georges de La Tour now in the Louvre, has a place in Ivan Amodei’s home and his currently touring magic show.

With the goal of becoming a plastic surgeon, he started college as a pre-med student. But as he soaked up more magic and hung out at the Magic Castle, he found himself less interested in medicine. After graduating with a marketing degree, he made that fateful decision to pursue magic, without a mentor to guide him or even a model for his style.

“There wasn’t YouTube or anything when I was a kid. I didn’t have a lot of access to magicians. The magic store was my biggest access,” Amodei said. “When I was a teenager, David Copperfield was on TV, and that was about it. I don’t think there was anybody specifically who taught me. It was kind of a selfled journey.”

In contrast to the crowds who buy tickets to see him, he did most of his magic early in his career for people who had no idea who he was: salespeople at a corporate retreat, or guests at a wedding. He had to perfect his technique, and he had to learn how to win a crowd.

18 CLU MAGAZINE

“Those are the toughest crowds, the crowds where the one person who hired you for the event is excited, but nobody else really cares,” he said. “I had to have my skills in all different aspects of magic, because you never know what’s going to happen. … How do you get 300 people who aren’t interested in you to be interested in you? You have about 10 seconds to get their attention. It’s almost like street performing.”

Amodei started to create his own act and take it on tour. At first, he said, his magic wasn’t much more than sleight-ofhand tricks: “I’m going to change the ball from red to blue; I’m going to make the coin disappear.”

But 13 years ago, after his children were born, his act changed. He started trying to build illusions with meaning.

His new show has a theme, which he sums up onstage in an aphorism that is frequently, though incorrectly, attributed to Mark Twain: “The two most important days of your life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why.”

His illusions connect people in the audience to one another,

Amodei fooled magicians Penn and Teller with a trick that is still a part of his act.

urge them to face their fears, and remind them of the importance of spending time with loved ones.

“Everything has some sort of humanitarian message, and it’s deliberate in a lighthearted way, so you don’t feel like it’s preaching to you,” he said.

In one trick, Amodei plays a version of Russian roulette with a large hunting knife, hiding the knife under one of six identical paper bags and inviting a volunteer to join him in smashing their hands down onto one bag after another.

“That’s about facing your fears,” he said. “If you can face this one little thing on stage in front of a thousand people, you can do bigger and better things in your life. You’d be surprised how many people get up on stage and say, ‘I am not doing this.’ They know I’m not going to kill them on stage, but it’s just too real for them right now.”

The audience is an essential part of nearly every illusion Amodei performs. He tosses a beach ball into the crowd at the start of his show, and whoever is holding it becomes one of his semi-voluntary volunteers. The volunteers don’t just pick a card or guess a number. They often tell their stories to Amodei, and he incorporates those stories into the illusions.

The interactivity keeps the show fresh; even Amodei is never sure exactly how each night is going to play out.

“It makes it much more immersive. You really have to pay attention if you might be called on stage at any moment,” he said. “I wish I could say I planned it that way, but it just evolved.

I started to notice that the more I allowed the audience to participate, the better the energy was.”

Amodei’s goal is not just to elicit a gasp or a round of applause. He wants people to wake up the next morning thinking and talking about what they saw at the theater.

It’s that ability for an illusion to stick in the brain that separates “doing a trick” from “creating magic,” said Gerson, the Cal Lutheran psychology professor and amateur magician.

“A trick is something that fools our senses or expectations, but turning that into something that’s magical is a transformation of reality for the moment, so the person is left in a sense of wonderment and excitement that in a lot of ways brings us back to our childhood, where we view the world in exciting and mysterious ways,” Gerson said.

Gerson teaches his graduate psychology students at Cal Lutheran a few magic tricks they can do with children, to help their young patients relax and acclimate to a therapy session.

The students have a sense of childlike wonder when they’re first shown the trick that tends to dissolve when they’re shown how it’s done.

For Amodei, a sense of wonder persists 45 years after he saw his first magic tricks and started to delve into their secrets. He’s someone who figured out early in life why he was born.

“I don’t know if I’ve arrived exactly, but I’m doing what I really love to, and I’m going to keep doing it,” he said.

CLASS NOTES

Choir members cram for Josh Groban show Music professor and director of choral activities Wyant Morton received a phone call on the first Monday in September asking him to provide backup singers for the Josh Groban concert that Thursday night at the Santa Barbara Bowl. With classes starting on Wednesday, he emailed the music to choir members and asked them to learn it on their own. Twelve current students and a recent alumna came together for one rehearsal on the first day of classes and sang with Groban the next night – with the music memorized! The group sang backup on two songs, “You Raise Me Up” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Katherine Reaves ’17 and senior Antonia Wada also sang backup as part of a quartet and octet with non-CLU singers. The Cal Lutheran singers were: front row, from left, Alexa Atkinson, Michaela Crispin; far right, Dani Etcheverry; middle row, second from left, Paul Kellogg, Katherine, Jillian Loupe, Xavier Reynoso; back row, second from left, Zach Hessemer, Trevor Wilmoth, Aaron Sullivan, Antonia, Rachel Counihan and Juan Gonzalez. In addition to its regular concerts on and off campus, the choir has collaborated with the New West Symphony, notably in a centennial celebration of Leonard Bernstein under the baton of longtime Hollywood Bowl Orchestra conductor John Mauceri. “The appearance of the combined quartets singing the national anthem for the Rams on Monday Night Football (while under very sad circumstances) also provided a lot of exposure for our program,” Morton writes.

PLAYERS RETURN AS HEAD COACHES Russell White ’94, TC ’96/’01, Thousand Oaks, and Kelli (McCaskill ’96) DiMuro, Simi Valley, are the new head coaches of Kingsmen and Regals basketball.

Russell has been the men’s basketball head coach at Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino for the past 13 seasons. He took over a struggling program in 2006-07 and built it into one of the best in the powerful Mission League. The Celts won Division IV and Division I state titles and two California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section (CIFSS) championships. In seven seasons as head coach at Calabasas High School from 2000 to 2006, he registered a 118-76 overall record and led the team to two Marmonte League titles.

Kelli returns to her alma mater from Chaminade College Preparatory in West Hills where she has been the head coach of girls’ basketball for the past 22 years guiding the Eagles to two state titles and four Southern Section championships. Her leadership earned her three State Coach of the Year, four CIFSS Coach of the Year and two Southern California Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association Coach of the Year selections. The Los Angeles Daily News honored her as a three-time Coach of the Year and the Los Angeles Times awarded her their Coach of the Year award in 2016. In her collegiate career at Cal Lutheran, she was voted a two-time all-SCIAC first team selection, team MVP and team captain during the 1994 and 1995 seasons, and led the program to its first conference championship title in 1995.

Kelli replaces Lindsay Samaniego, who guided Cal Lutheran to a 91-66 record in six seasons.

Russell takes over for Tim Fusina, who coached the Kingsmen for the past two years.

Vocations

BEER, BRAINS AND BRAWN

To be creative, we brewers have to know our stuff and pull our weight.

BY BRITTANY (KENNEDY ’11) BROUHARD

B

rewing beer is a science and an art and a workout.

I’ve grown in this industry in a lot of different ways.

Art has always been a passion of mine and was my first college major. I switched to science when I transferred to Cal Lutheran. Still, if you told me back when I graduated in 2011 that someday I would be running a smallscale biochemistry and microbiology lab, while studying for a master’s in engineering and bioscience, all while being a “working mom,” I would have told you you’re nuts!

I’ve found through brewing that I am physically stronger than I believed, as clichéd as that sounds.

Multiple times a week at Enegren Brewing Company in Moorpark, I make a recipe that calls for 700 to 1,200 pounds of grain. One to four batches like this fills a fermenter tank that holds between 15 and 60 barrels. So that’s me, lifting and maneuvering 55-pound sacks of grain onto pallets and into a mill. Once that grain has been milled, mashed and sparged,

it’s got to get out of the brewery somehow. And that’s me, too, plowing however many pounds of grain out of the lauter tun and into a spent grain tote.

During my pregnancy, I learned to push myself. Don’t get me wrong; I was careful. I knew what precious cargo I was carrying.

But I was able to work up to my due date and then come back pretty quick, which was great. The movement in this job and the physical labor are what kept me healthy and kept me going for so long.

Science, honestly, has never been my strong suit. It was a struggle for me through college, and I am sure some of my professors will back me up on that. Looking back, I can see that I wasn’t passionate about the field I chose, exercise science, and therefore lacked motivation.

Kristine Butcher was a huge help to me during college and made it clear to me that, as long as I wasn’t aiming to be a chemistry professor, I could make it really far in this world.

Louise Kelly, who mentored me for my capstone project on the importance of PE in child development, also pushed me to go above and beyond.

Even though I was going to be shocked at how much knowledge is needed to create beer, I was already a nerd. The love story between science and art roped me in to brewing.

Brewing is a science and then an art. Science tells us we can combine malt with water to achieve the protein and starch conversions that create the sweet liquid we call wort. It breaks down a whole series of steps from there to a finished beer, and it sets limits on how much we can alter the temperature, the time and other variables at every one of them.

Science made the paint, and Van Gogh created the masterpiece. Same goes for brewing and the brewer.

One of the first things you learn in art school is about colors.

The primary colors blend to make secondary colors, and you can then take those secondary colors and create the tertiary colors. Beer is just the same. You take four main ingredients, malt, water, hops and yeast, and blend them together to create a masterpiece.

What that grain bill should be, exactly, is the kind of thing science doesn’t tell us. At Enegren, we’ve adjusted our fermentation profiles up and down by a few degrees and achieved completely different results in a beer’s flavor profile and attenuation. Every brewery is different, too. You could carefully follow a full recipe and get a slightly different result at each one. Brewing is exciting because these variations are endless.

For me, German-style lagers are Van Goghs. There’s depth and complexity to making such a pure, beautiful product, and no room for error. With lagers, you cannot skip or rush a step.

You can’t miss your gravity markers on your boil. You can’t underpitch your yeast. You can’t underoxygenate your wort.

You’ll taste every flaw, once the fermentation’s done, in that final product.

Until it was brought up to me about a year ago, I didn’t realize how rare it is for women to be in our industry. In Ventura County, we have a lot of good brewers and not a lot of the sexist stuff that I’ve heard about elsewhere. I’ve been lucky. Now, we finally have 15 women from Westlake Village to Ojai and Santa Barbara who make at least half of their income in the industry, which is what you need to start a chapter of the Pink Boots Society. (Brewers all wear steel-toed, shin- or knee-high, heat and chemical resistant boots, because we’re working in some pretty harsh environments.)

Brewing, again, is physically demanding, and women do get comments. I’ve heard plenty along the lines of, “Well, you must have to ask for help. There’s no way you could lift one of those sacks.” And I say, “Oh no, I don’t lift just one.”

NOBODY’S PETS Three years ago, when Cal Lutheran stopped using anticoagulant rodenticides to protect mountain lions and other predators from poisoning through the food chain, it switched to traditional mechanical rat traps. Unfortunately, the change worked out well for the rats, which eat trash and chew the wires out of university vehicles. In need of reinforcements, Mark Jacobsen, the director of facilities management, adopted a group of feral cats last March from Ventura County’s Working Whiskers program, as the Acorn newspaper later reported.

Living out of custom “condos” that Jacobsen constructed at home with aid from maintenance technician John Birawer, the neutered, microchipped, ear-tipped and vaccinated wild animals patrol campus. Only Jacobsen and his wife, Cara Anzilotti, have suffered scratches while tending to them, and the university posted an advisory at Ullman Commons not to “harass, feed or try to pick up” these “employees.” The Acorn | Sept. 5

LATINOS DRIVING WORKFORCE, GDP GROWTH If U.S. Latinos had an independent country, it would have been the world’s eighth-largest economy in 2017, behind France and ahead of Brazil. As things are, Latinos are driving growth in the workforce and overall U.S. economy. That’s according to an update to the U.S. Latino GDP Report by Matthew Fienup and Dan Hamilton of Cal Lutheran’s Center for Economic Research and Forecasting and two collaborators at UCLA’s medical school.
