LETTERS “We The People passed the Voter First Act in 2008 to take the politicians out of the gerrymandering business. Now the politicians want to again tell us that they know best.”

— Michael Quigley

No on Prop 50

In 2008, the voters of California passed Proposition 11 known as the “Voters First Act,” transferring the power to draw state legislative and board of equalization districts from the legislature to an independent citizen’s commission. In 2010, the “Voters First Act for Congress” was passed, by the voters of California, expanding the commission’s duties to include drawing congressional districts.

Now the politicians want that power back. Does that even make sense? They say it is only “temporary.” Really? Have you ever known any politician to give up power once they have it?

This is a turning point for California.

You decide. I have already voted no on 50.

Carolyn Edwards Carpinteria

We are your friends and neighbors

You may be surprised to learn that nearly two thousand Carpinterians showed up to vote for President Trump in 2024. That is almost one-third of the total vote for president in our small community.

Who are we? We are all ages, religions and races. We are veterans. We are law en orcement officers e are immigrants who escaped Communism or Totalitarianism to become citizens of this great land. We are MAHA families who are concerned about our health. We are your Jewish friends who are rejoicing in the return of the hostages and the chance for true peace in the Middle East. We are proponents of law and order who are cheering for the latest FBI statistics on the arrest of violent criminals and the corresponding drop in crime. We are local business owners who don’t share that we are conservative for fear of losing customers. We are neighbors who have had property vandalized for daring to display

a conservative message. We are the local church who hosted a beautiful Charlie Kirk memorial service and felt the need to hire security to protect the attendees.

We would like to coexist in peace with you. We are your neighbors and friends.

Leanne Rose Carpinteria

Proposition 50 Takes es p e a a

We The People of California voted in 2008 to pass the Voter First Act. This act required the state to establish a non-partisan Redistricting Commission to draw the lines for voting districts. This Commission is made up o five emocrats, five epublicans, and our not affiliated to either Party. The primary function of this Commission is to create the Congress, Senate, and Board of Equalization in strict, nonpartisan ways that create relatively equal population areas.

We The People passed the Voter First Act in 2008 to take the politicians out of the gerrymandering business. Now the politicians want to again tell us that they know best. This is ignoring the will of the people who already spoke when we passed the Voters First Act in 2008.

Let the non-partisan Redistricting Commission do their job and keep politicians out of the process.

Vote no on 50.

The Alcazar Theatre, located at 4916 Carpinteria Ave.

Fired Alcazar executive director sues theater

BY EVELYN SPENCE

The Alcazar Theatre’s former executive director Debra “Debbie” Nomura, who was fired in July, sued the theater, lcazar Board President Michael Lazaro and Alcazar Board Vice President Asa Olsson last week, alleging she was wrongfully terminated after raising concerns about alleged theater mismanagement.

In response to a request for comment sent by Coastal View News last Friday to Olsson and Lazaro, Olsson said, “we feel sad that Debbie chose litigation over conversation. At this point we leave it up to the lawyers.”

In an email sent Monday, Nomura said she has no comment.

The nonprofit that handles theater operations, Carpinteria Community Theatre Inc., hired Nomura as a business advisor in February 2023 to “assess problems in the organization” after $80,000 in donations from one foundation “could not be accounted for due to mismanagement,” the lawsuit, filed ct , alleges She was later appointed executive director in September 2023 and worked “well over” forty hours a week, including nights and weekends, before she was fired earlier this year, per the lawsuit Nomura alleges the theater: misclassified her employment status, calling her an executive director but not paying her at an executive level (in California, defined as at least twice the hourly minimum wage for full-time, salaried work); paid her $50,000 a year in equal monthly installments rather than the initially discussed $80-$90 an hour; promised to pay her more once she secured additional grants, but did not; did not reimburse

her for supplies or expenses related to her work at the theater; did not give her meal or rest breaks; and did not pay her overtime.

Nomura further alleges the theater’s board members were violating the rules o the theater’s nonprofit status by renting the theater out at a “massively discounted rate” not available to the public, and when she confronted them about this, “the board began pushing back saying they didn’t have to pay to use the Alcazar in the same way.”

Community members typically paid at least $1,000 to use the theater space, while some board members were charged $50 an hour, per the lawsuit. Olsson’s theater group also used the theater space for a month of rehearsals and six performances without paying, Nomura alleges.

Court documents also claim the inaugural Carpinteria Film Festival — held at the theater Sept. 5–7 — was owned by a aro’s personal or profit business, rather than the theater. Nomura alleges this is a con ict o interest because the theater provided staff, handled ticket sales and incurred costs to put on the festival, but the festival itself was owned

by Lazaro.

When Nomura brought these issues and others to board members, she alleges she was “criticized, isolated and bullied” and board members “began sabotaging events she was organizing for community members and trying to force her to resign.” She said she was also excluded from meetings and agendas and then “accused of not providing regular reports of her activities.”

A case management conference has been set for February 2026.

MY WELLNESS NOW VICKIE GONZALEZ In August’s column (CVN Vol. 31, No. 49, “Para mi abuelita: te quiero mucho”) I shared how my Abuelita’s love and presence remain with me, half a lifetime later. When she died, I lost the person I would have asked through the years, “Am I doing this right?” or “What should I do?” Over time, I have been blessed to have other elders guide me. These were people who were a generation or more older than me, and most of them were chosen family, not relatives by blood.

Earlier in the summer, I was adding a few new pictures of a loved one who had recently passed away to my year-round altar. I spend time with the altar a few times a year, with a longer time spent on it leading up to Dia de los Muertos. This time, was re ecting on two seemingly opposite yet actually connected thoughts.

I was thinking about how many young people I have known who have died, and I keep them with me in my heart, from many decades ago to just a handful of months. I also noticed just how many of my elders were accounted for in the photos, recuerdos on the altar, and also in my heart, never forgotten.

Both thoughts created that familiar awareness of how precious life is. I entered a new decade this year and realized that I am in a stage where it is “normal” for the tías and tíos, maestras, and mentors to be dying. The generation above me is thinning. Even if I live a long, healthy life, I know I have more life behind me than ahead of me. It isn’t a morbid thought, really, but a mix of clarity and sadness, recognizing that those I once turned to for comfort are gone, and going. How do I create a community of aunties and abuelitas now? How do I find that com ort as the years pass and more people are gone? And how do I, at some point, shift from having elders

How do I create a community of aunties and abuelitas now?

How do I find that comfort as the years pass and more people are gone? And how do I, at some point, shift from having elders to being one?

to being one? That last question is for another article.

Over the last couple of months, I have been pondering the feeling of being “in between.” I still need wisdom. I still want someone older than me to tell me I am doing okay, that it will be okay, and offer a few nuggets of wisdom — but mostly, I want the love and care. However, as time passes, those people will all be gone.

The silence is an absence felt deeply, and with it the need to find those voices in other ways.

For the most part, I trust my own counsel and inner compass more each day. I now know how to find that knowingness within me. However, at times I long for the comfort of someone older, someone who has lived a bit more of life and can speak words that remind me that I walk with so many others who can provide me with a sense of community and belonging. I am grateful for what I have had, and I am more settled within myself than I used to be, but I still wish for those elders.

My article this month is similar to August’s reflection. I felt a need to share and normalize what it feels like to stand in this season of life. Even though I am in the midst of this transition and still figuring out how to create a community that will serve me best, it felt essential to share, even though I don’t have it all figured out. Because who has it figured out?

What I do know is that the care of those who have died is not lost to me. They live in the ways I show up now, the values I carry forward, and the steadiness I can sometimes offer others may not have all the answers, but carry their in uence with me. I take these thoughts with me into next month’s article, where I hope to share more about how I move through Dia de los Muertos this year. Finding meaning through ritual is a journey I have always known to be valuable; I look forward to taking the ache that has been this year and finding connection in both the new and the old.

As always, may this topic inspire curiosity, compassion, and conversation.

“One Battle After Another” CVN

DUNCAN’S REEL DEAL

Thursday, October 23, 2025

CVN

ARTCETRA COMPILED BY EVELYN SPENCE | COURTESY PHOTOS

M AT T D U N C A N “One Battle After Another” takes place in some weird country where the authorities round up immigrant families and put them in cages, army men with big guns swoop around their own country like they’re on a combat mission, and morons and foaming-at-the-mouth lunatics are in charge.

You can probably guess which “weird” country it is.

But people are organizing; they are fighting back erfidia Teyana Taylor and Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio) are two of them. They are part of a leftwing group called the French 75. They do things like seize immigrant detention centers, bomb courthouses and destroy power grids.

They call themselves revolutionaries.

Others call them terrorists.

Among those who call them terrorists is foamer-at-the-mouth extraordinaire, Col. Steven J. Lockjaw (Sean Penn). He’s the kind of guy who hates everything “un-American” in a very broad (yet also selective) sense: revolutionaries/terrorists, liberals, immigrants and people of color, generally.

There is one complication, though. e’s pretty much in love with erfidia Which is tricky because she’s a revolutionary/terrorist, and she’s liberal, and she’s Black. Also, she’s with Bob. Lockjaw’s way of being reasonable about it is to let Perfidia keep doing whatever she wants as long as she hooks up with him every now and then. It’s a somewhat complicated arrangement, but it works for a while.

As time goes on, things don’t get any simpler, any easier erfidia gets pregnant and has a baby girl. Bob wants her to settle down, but she wants to keep fighting the good fight ock aw lingers Then a French 75 action goes wrong and everyone is either arrested or goes into hiding. The dream of revolution dies.

Or, at least, it goes into a coma. or years y which point erfidia is still in hiding; Bob is living with their daughter, illa hase nfiniti , in a sanctuary city; and Lockjaw is rising in the ranks and trying to get inducted into the ultra-secret Christmas Adventurers Club, which is kind of like the KKK. It’s an equilibrium of a sort. Bob just sits around all day drinking beer and

smoking pot, Willa is fairly normal high schooler, and Lockjaw is doing his own foaming-at-the-mouth thing. You’d think they’d be done with each other. But, somehow, these disconnected threads start to weave back together.

What unfolds is a perfect tapestry of drama, terror, and hilarity. The plot reads like a political thriller. The setting, wardrobe, and cinematography often feel somewhere between fantasy and horror.

The acting tends toward the comedic. So, ya know, it’s one of those action/adventure drama horror comedies.

It’s beautiful. Some of the credit goes to the actors. They’re all great. The characters they play are quirky and unusual (as P.T. Anderson’s characters tend to be) but they’re delivered in an authentic, life-like way. DiCaprio and Penn, in particular, are so round, interesting, and amusing, you can’t take your eyes off them A lot of the rest of the credit goes to director P.T. Anderson. He’s a true artist.

The way he makes a movie so many things all at once is more-or-less unparalleled in contemporary cinema. His movies are entertaining yet thought-provoking. And “One Battle After Another” is among his most accessible.

Even if you’re not a P.T. Anderson fan, you can find something to love in this movie if you’re willing. If you’re on a certain end of the political spectrum, you may feel attacked — or perhaps the butt of a joke. But, whatever, get over it. Enjoy the drama. Enjoy the suspense. Enjoy the comedy. It’s all there. “One Battle After Another” is the total package.

“One Battle After Another” is rated R for pervasive language, violence, sexual content, and drug use.

The Alcazar Theatre’s 50th anniversary showing of cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” drew more than 100 people to the theater last Friday, theater representatives said.

Attendees were encouraged to dress up in their “Rocky Horror” best for the Oct. 17 celebration, and for those who didn’t have costumes, the theater offered a select number of prop bags.

“With prop bags at the ready, the crowd dove headfirst into the chaos, sporting party hats, sounding off with noise makers, tossing playing cards, filling the air with glimmering bubbles,” theater representative onnie eston said “ taff, board and volunteers dressed strutting their boldest costumes as the audience participated in a contest that sent the energy soaring.”

She added: “Thank you to all who came to support the Alcazar Theatre and the diversity in our community ”

Meet Jazzy the adventurer

Meet Jazzy, a three-year-old German Shepherd who Santa Barbara County Animal Services (SBCAS) volunteers described as an affectionate, athletic and adventurous dog. She’s been looking for her forever home for over a year and a half.

Volunteers shared: “She is an incredible dog who just needs someone who understands shepherds to give her a chance and work with her. She’s been through a lot and will need training to overcome her shelter trauma, but she is worth it he’s affectionate, great with dogs o similar size and play style, athletic and adventurous!”

Jazzy’s adoption fee is sponsored, and her adopter will receive eight months of donated food. She also has a trainer available who will offer discounted services Due to Jazzy’s stress in the shelter environment, she must have a committed foster or adopter by Nov. 7, 2025. Interested in fostering or adopting Jazzy? She’s at the SBCAS shelter in Goleta at 5473 Overpass Road.

THROWBACK

a na na s mentor and tormentor

THURSDAY

BY STEPHEN BATES

A dozen years after his death, longtime Rincon Point resident Barnaby Conrad has published a new book.

“Writers Like Us: My Life with Sinclair Lewis” recounts Conrad’s summer working or the first merican to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, the author of such classics as “Main Street,” “Babbitt” and “Elmer Gantry.”

When he encountered Sinclair Lewis in 1947, Conrad, 25, had compiled a oneo a kind resume, fighting bulls in pain as El Niño de California while working in Seville as the U.S. State Department’s youngest vice-consul. Now he was staying with his parents in Santa Barbara, writing a novel and teaching Spanish at Cate School.

When he learned that Lewis was staying nearby, he decided to try to meet him. He preferred Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald as writers, but he couldn’t help admiring Lewis’s success — he was the wealthiest author in the nited tates onrad dropped off an ingratiating note. In response, Lewis invited him to tea.

Conrad describes him as “a tall, redfaced scarecrow in a baggy tweed suit,” with a face scarred from surgeries for skin cancer They hit it off, and ewis asked him to come to dinner. “I’m meeting a young couple — writers,” Lewis said.

“Like you! Like us!” Conrad was exhilarated to have a literary superstar treat him as a member of the club.

Lewis wanted to read part of Conrad’s manuscript, so they stopped at his house, and Lewis met his parents. A horseback riding accident some years earlier had left Conrad’s father impaired. He walked with a cane and sometimes had trouble following conversations.

On their way to the restaurant, Lewis told Conrad that he had learned a great deal about medicine while writing his novel about a doctor, “Arrowsmith,” so he recognized what was wrong with Con-

“Wow,” said Conrad, unable to think of anything else to say. It wouldn’t be the last time that Lewis would leave him speechless. (The syphilis diagnosis was incorrect, as well as insensitive.)

Lewis read Conrad’s draft, told him to discard the opening 70-plus pages, and offered him a ob as personal secretary at his estate in Massachusetts for $45 a week. onrad said yes e arrived in ittsfield, Mass., on May 19.

As a boss, Lewis proved to be mercurial and sometimes belittling. He repeatedly declared that Conrad was too lazy to

succeed as a novelist: “You young writers don’t know what it is to work.” When Conrad was distraught because a Spanish friend, the great matador Manolete, had been killed in the bullring, Lewis’s only response was that he had once seen a bullfight and had rooted or the bull But Lewis could be captivating as well as cantankerous. At breakfast one morning, he sketched a story idea: after assassinating President Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth secretly escapes and lives under a new name in the Midwest. When Conrad expressed enthusiasm, Lewis drew up a contract that they both signed. The plan was that Conrad would write the novel and receive 70% of the proceeds; Lewis would get 30%. Conrad started reading Civil War history, but his lack of progress irritated Lewis.

Near the end of the summer, Lewis announced that Conrad’s services would no longer be needed. (It turned out he wanted to pursue Conrad’s girlfriend.) When he left on Sept. 2, Conrad had mixed feelings.

He admired Lewis in some respects, but he also pitied him as a has-been, “clinging to a fading grandeur, afraid to admit that he could no longer craft the great novels he’d written in the ’20s.”

Lewis died in 1951, but Conrad returned to him several times on the page.

In 1961, he published a novel with a protagonist based on ewis, “ angerfield ” In 2010, he published “The Second Life of John Wilkes Booth,” dedicated to “my mentor Sinclair Lewis, who told me this story so long ago.” Conrad’s son, Barnaby , pushed him to finish the ooth book and arranged to publish it through Council Oak Books.

Barnaby III was also the driving force behind the new book, “Writers Like Us.” He and his father began working on it in 2010. “It was a lot of fun,” he says. “I knew his clock was ticking down, but he was quite lucid.” The manuscript was about 120 pages when his father died in his Rincon Point house in 2013, age 90.

(The elder Barnaby’s daughter Kendall Conrad now lives in the Rincon house.

Another daughter, Cayetana Conrad, also lives in Carpinteria.) Academica Press published the book earlier this year, with

blurbs from novelist Christopher Buckley and Lewis biographer Richard Lingeman.

In the book, Conrad notes a couple of lessons he learned from Lewis. One, he says, is that “writing wasn’t ust a romantic endeavor but a ob that demanded discipline.” Through his example — his negative example — Lewis also conveyed a bigger lesson: Conrad says he wouldn’t dream of exchanging his happy life for Lewis’s unhappy one, despite the wealth and fame.

Conrad’s buoyant spirit stayed with him. According to an obituary in the Los Angeles Times, he was reading a book when his doctor came into the room and told him he had only a short time to live.

Conrad replied, “I guess I’d better read faster.”

“No Kings,” protestors declare

Brought together by local activist group Carpinteria Indivisible, protestors and critics of President Donald J. Trump’s administration gathered at the Seal Fountain on Oct. 18, joining millions across the United States in denouncing immigration raids, government layoffs and other recent Trump decisions they called king-like. This was the second massive “No Kings” rally held since Trump took office in January; the first, in June, was held on the president’s 79th birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.
