the Best and the Brightest

The town-and-gown system is alive and well.

Our news interns arrive with digital clippings in hand — ranging from S.B. High’s The Forge to UCSB’s Daily Nexus — and head right out to get to the bottom of an assortment of assignments. Better yet, they report back with intelligent, interesting stories and facts. Eden Turner (left), who’s headed for a journalism degree at Fordham University come fall, found she enjoyed “learning about real people and real events” as well as the excitement of writing quickly on time-sensitive subjects. Poli-sci major Ari Plachta, who’s spending the summer at the Brookings Institution as a research intern — “It’s a paid position,” she enthused — wrote about disparate topics, from moped theft to the deal between the EU and Turkey. We hope their future beats appreciate them as much as we do. online now at

June 2016 Primary

24th Congressional District: Salud Carbajal

For the past 18 years, Santa Barbara has been tirelessly represented in Congress by Democrat Lois Capps. Of the nine candidates running to fill her seat, only two merit consideration: Salud Carbajal and S.B. Mayor Helene Schneider. Of the two, Carbajal brings the skill set best attuned to the demands of the position. As a county supervisor, he was a reliable vote for major environmental initiatives, health care for poor kids, and changes to the county’s mental-health system. When it came to county budget shortfalls, he insisted the pain be shared by all departments, even public safety. When it’s come to helping constituents, few supervisors have ever worked harder. Today, Carbajal has raised more money than Schneider and nailed down far more big-name endorsements, including the much admired Lois Capps. Carbajal can be counted on to support an environmental and socially progressive agenda and possesses the demonstrated political skills to win in November and represent us well in Congress.

1st District: Das Williams

Das Williams’s loud and proud brand of green politics is a good fit for the 1st Supervisorial District, encompassing Carpinteria, Summerland, Montecito, Mission Canyon, Cuyama, and half the City of Santa Barbara. There’s no question Williams, who has served on the S.B. City Council and in the State Assembly, understands the chessboard of S.B. politics and how the pieces move far better than most. We know he can be effective on the board because he was effective in Sacramento. There, he fought for laws to combat the effects of climate change, got Governor Jerry Brown to sign a bill giving Isla Vista a shot at self-governance, and pushed to reform the sometimes screwy 9-1-1 routing system. His wide experience and advocacy for vital issues facing Santa Barbara, along with his extensive understanding of all layers of government, will be of great benefit for the whole county.

3rd District: Joan Hartmann

Of the five candidates vying for this open seat, Buellton resident Joan Hartmann is by far the most qualified to represent the 3rd District, which includes diverse and conflicting constitu-

e Tak you h wiTo The T lls! po

encies from Isla Vista, western Goleta, and the Santa Ynez Valley. Hartmann has served with distinction the last three years on the county’s Planning Commission. She was also one of the citizen activists who enacted strict sprawl controls for the City of Buellton, and she engaged in the complex water politics of the Santa Ynez Valley. We’re confident Hartmann’s will be a strong but quiet voice against new oil development and for preservation of the Gaviota Coast. When it comes to balancing the desire for special events and wine tasting rooms against neighborhood peace and preservation, we believe she will be an honest broker. Of all the districts, the 3rd needs someone immediately conversant in the boring but crucial minutia of government administration. Hartmann is.

State Assembly: S. Monique Limón

Monique Limón has been blessed with natural political skills and a work ethic that won’t quit. While on the school board, she exhibited keen interest in new legislation in Sacramento that affected education. When she goes to Sacramento, Limón will be able to craft such bills herself.

State Senate: Hannah-Beth Jackson

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, the Democratic firebrand now enjoying a most productive political reincarnation, has served in the Assembly before, got termed out, and is now back and kicking serious ass, most famously passing a wage-equity law. Dust doesn’t have time to settle when Jackson’s in the Senate. Keep her there.

Yes on Proposition 50: Pay Suspension for State Legislators Should state legislators suspended from office after being convicted of crimes still be allowed to draw their salary of $95,000 a year? Obviously not, but it happened three times in 2014.

Proposition 50 sets out to fix that. For implementation to occur, two-thirds of the legislative body must vote to suspend the pay of an errant member. That may not be perfect, but if it makes lawmakers think twice about crossing the line, it’s good enough.

Congress: Salud Carbajal 1st District Supervisor: Das Williams 3rd District Supervisor: Joan Hartmann 4th District Supervisor: No Endorsement State Assembly: S. Monique Limón State Senate: Hannah-Beth Jackson Proposition 50 (Pay Suspension for State Legislators): Yes

news briefs LAW & DISORDER

Fernando Castro, 19, an Amber Alert suspect who allegedly abducted Pearl Pinson, 15, out of Solano County on 5/25, was killed in a shootout with deputies in Solvang on 5/26. Santa Barbara Sheriff’s deputies pursued Castro’s Saturn sedan that day from Los Alamos to Fjord Drive. After barricading himself inside a trailer and firing shots, Castro tried to flee. Officers opened fire. Pinson — a white female, 53 tall, 130 pounds with brown hair (dyed green), and green eyes — is still missing. Anyone with information should call 9-1-1.

The Cuyama Buckhorn restaurant’s first anniversary party on 5/21 included the arrest of Bakersfield biker Robert Miller, 32, for possessing anabolic steroids for sale.

Two more bikers — Oscar Romero, 24, and Thomas Trees, 44 — were cited for possessing a loaded, concealed 9mm gun and a .25 caliber gun in a vehicle in New Cuyama that same day. With them was Russell Gillette, 40, who was booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail on a S.L.O. arrest warrant.

6,000 Feel the bern Sanders Rallies Supporters at SBCC Event

T

by N i c k W e l s h and M a c Wa l b y

he only thing burning through the mid-morning fog at City College’s West Campus this Saturday was the voice of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, still vying for his party’s nomination. Sanders made it clear he was not going into the good night of historical and mathematical inevitability ascribed to Hillary Clinton’s potential victory.

After getting a warm-up from actor Justin Long, Sanders was introduced to almost 6,000 attendees by longtime entertainer Dick Van Dyke, who called the senator “the sanest man in America.” But SBCC professor and California Democratic Party Secretary Daraka Larimore-Hall stole the opening acts with a fiery speech. He urged the crowd not just to vote for Sanders but to phone-bank and canvas alongside him.

At the podium, Sanders didn’t utter a single critical word about Clinton and not that much even about putative Republican nominee Donald Trump. Sanders dispensed with him in almost a desultory fashion, describing how he’d challenged Trump to a debate only to be told it was on, then off, then on again, and most recently off. If and when Trump changes his mind, Sanders said he would demand an explanation of how Trump could be so insulting to Latinos, women, veterans, and African Americans.

Mostly, however, Sanders, seemed intent on banging the gong of his “bottom-up” revolution and preaching the gospel of economic, racial, and environmental justice. There were

no hecklers, and the crowd responded warmly to his message.

Sanders vamped on the shortcomings of the American medical system, using the word “crazy” as a point of departure for an extended riff. “‘Crazy’ is one out of five Americans getting medical prescriptions that they’re unable to pay for,” he said. “‘Crazy’ is that last year the top five pharmaceutical companies made $55 billion in profits, and ‘crazy’ is the United States spending more on health care than any other country and having so little to show for it.”

Sanders delved into the issue of campaign finance reform, declaring, “The billionaires already own the country; we’re not going to let them buy the United States government.”

The answer, he said, was publicly financed elections and the legislative repeal of Citizens United. The billionaires, Sanders argued, have rigged the economy in their favor. As a result, he contended, the middle class has all but disappeared in the past 30 years while those at the top have enjoyed intense concentrations of wealth not seen in this country since the days of the robber barons.

The top one-tenth of the one percent now control as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent, he asserted; the richest 20 people have about the same as the poorest half of our population—about 152 million people. Just one family—the Waltons of Walmart fame —own wealth equal to the bottom 40 percent of Americans. Walmart pays such low wages, Sanders objected, that many Walmart workers needed food stamps and Medicaid.

The middle class, he continued, subsidized

the Walton family in the form of higher taxes to cover the cost of food stamps. “I say to the Walton family, get off welfare,” he exhorted.

Santa Barbara County was not exempt from the candidate’s critique. The City of Santa Barbara, Sanders noted, was one of the 10 most expensive places to live, while the county ranks fourth in statewide poverty rates, and one-half of public school students qualify for free and reduced meals.

The economic criticism turned to the wage gap between men and women, which still exists, Sanders decried, with women making 79 cents on average for every $1 their male coworkers take home. “Today women want the whole damn dollar.”

The 5 percent unemployment rate, he said, understates the real economic hardship experienced by working Americans. He outlined an ambitious program to put 13 million people to work by launching a massive infrastructure repair program for the nation’s roads, bridges, water systems, levies, and dams. Though Sanders never mentioned Clinton by name, he was sharply critical of free trade agreements supported by Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, which Sanders claimed put 60,000 factories out of work.

He lambasted the United States for having 2.2 million people behind bars — more than any nation on the planet—at a cost to taxpayers of $80 billion a year. The war on drugs, Sanders said, has been an absolute bust. He vowed to remove marijuana from the federal Controlled Substances Act, which lists pot as dangerous as heroin. In the meantime, states such as Vermont have been hard hit by heroin

Four campers and Rex, a 75-pound yellow Labrador retriever, were airlifted by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue (SBCSAR) Team on 5/30 from the San Rafael Wilderness after Rex injured a leg while hiking on 5/29.

congressional cash: down to the Wire

Last week, Rep. Lois Capps, who is retiring after 18 years in Congress, received a mailer portraying congressional candidate Bill Ostrander next to Bernie Sanders.

At first blush, the image is no surprise. The left-leaning — and campaign finance reform — candidate has embraced the association with Sanders, even making bumper stickers that say, “Feel the Bill.” But what is surprising is that the California Republican Party paid for the mailers. And then sent them to registered Democrats.

Less than a week before the June 7 primary election, outside money from both parties in the 24th congressional race has exceeded $1 million. Because of California’s open primary system, the top two vote getters — regardless of party — advance to the November general election. With the Ostrander ad, the Republican strategy appears to draw liberal voters to Ostrander, thereby pulling votes away from frontrunner Supervisor Salud Carbajal. Kaitlyn MacGregor, the California Republican Party spokesperson, denied the intent was to split the Democratic vote. “Our thing is really trying to say, ‘He’s too liberal,’” she said. “The Democrats have a contested primary. That’s going to draw turnout.” (The cost of the ads has not yet been reported.)

Likewise, the National Republican Congressional Committee — which spent $220,000 so far — attacked Carbajal for approving his own pay raise on the Board of Supervisors while portraying Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider as ultra-progressive, which could help her among liberal voters. In fact, the ad used language — that she supports universal health care, for instance — straight from her campaign website.

Supporting Republican Justin Fareed, Citizen Super PAC, a political action committee functioning as a crowdsourcing model, spent $286,000, according to the latest federal reports. Money continues to stream in every day. American Action Network, a far-right lobbyist group, reported Tuesday $48,800 in mailers picturing Schneider and Sanders as ’60s-era “liberal peas in a pod.” For his campaign, Fareed raised $1.1 million total. Of that, $23,000 came from political action committees (one $2,000 check came from Congressmember Duncan Hunter, who represents San Diego). Republican Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian raised $750,000, of which $28,000 came from committees.

The national Democrats, meanwhile, have enthusiastically backed Carbajal.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the House Majority political action committee reported more than $600,000 in independent expenditures to support him. “What does he owe them back?” Schneider asked. “What are they going to expect of him? That’s a big question mark.” For his part, Carbajal pledged to “always be independent” — “I am who I am” — and vote in the best interest of his constituents.

On his own, Carbajal, well-known to be a fundraising king, has raised nearly $1.9 million, triple that of Schneider, his chief Dem rival. Of Carbajal’s total, $223,000 mostly came from a number of political action committees. Of the $630,000 Schneider raised total, just $8,700 came from political committees, including $5,000 from the L.A.-based Women’s Political Committee.

ritish journalist Milo Yiannopoulos made his UCSB entrance atop a padded chair hoisted by student organizers through a capacity crowd that filled Corwin Pavilion last Thursday evening. Many were even turned away from his controversial talk — titled Feminism Is Cancer — after waiting in a lengthy queue at the venue’s door.

Mental-health care, he said, clearly needs to be given higher priority.“We need to make sure mental-health treatment is available to all people when they need it, not six months from now.”

In response to critics wondering how Sanders proposed to pay for this, the candidate recounted how the government bailed out the banking industry during the collapse that led to the worst recession short of the Great Depression. No one, he noted, went to jail.“Today Wall Street is doing fine.

Now it’s their turn to help the middle class.”

campaign spend-a-thons

Among the nine candidates vying for three spots on the County Board of Supervisors, State Assemblymember Das Williams, now running for the 1st District, has spent far more than anyone else — $484,984. Making this somewhat remarkable, Williams only raised $288,000 the past year. He’s made up the difference with infusions of campaign cash from two preexisting committees he’d established in Sacramento, one for the Assembly and another for the Senate. Of his new money, about $80,000 came from various trade unions and their political action committee. Of that, $30,000 came from the union representing county firefighters and $20,000 from two Service Employees International Union locals. Another $10,000 came from the campaigns of politicians Williams served with in Sacramento.

Also running for the 1st — which extends from Carpinteria to the Eastside of Santa Barbara — is Jennifer Christensen, who is backed by many conservative and business-minded donors. Morris Jurkowitz, a longtime player in commercial real estate and benefactor of City College, donated $10,000 and loaned Christensen another $30,000. As of May 21, Williams reported having $208,000 left to spend and Christensen $71,000. The 1st is an open seat as three-term Supervisor Salud Carbajal is now running for Congress.

Leading the spending race for the politically pivotal 3rd District — an area that spans from Santa Ynez to western Goleta — is Bruce Porter, who to date has spent $231,000 donated largely by development, business, and ag interests. In addition, Porter received $25,000 from the Deputy Sheriffs’ Association. None of that counts toward the $60,000 raised by an oil-industry-sponsored independent expenditure committee formed in Sacramento to get Porter elected. His chief rival, Joan Hartmann, has spent $185,353 and raised $155,619. Two locals of SEIU donated $30,000.

Candidates Bob Field and Karen Jones jumped in to stop Porter, who they contend will sell the soul of the Santa Ynez Valley. Field raised $30,000, and Jones not enough to report anything. Jay Freeman has raised $40,000 — almost all his own money — and spent $27,000. Like the 1st, the 3rd District is also wide open, left vacant when two-term incumbent Doreen Farr announced she was stepping down.

Fourth District Supervisor Peter Adam, the only incumbent in the race, raised $53,000 and spent $89,000. Adam, outspokenly conservative and a tight-fisted minimalist when it comes to government spending, was backed by North County ag and business interests. Running against him is Eduardo Ozeta, whose campaign filings are not yet complete. But based on the forms Ozeta has submitted, he’s raised $90,000 in donations since May 5. The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians donated $30,000. The Deputy Sheriffs’ Association donated — Nick Welsh $20,000, and the county firefighters another $20,000.

wo weeks before UCSB’s June graduation ceremonies, Alagie Jammeh finally received a letter from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security granting him political asylum in the United States. In September 2014, the international student had lost his Gambian-government-funded scholarship to study at the university, and with it his visa, after he posted to his Facebook page, “No one should be denied their fundamental human rights because of their sexuality.”

That post resulted in an order to return to the Republic of Gambia, where his uncle — ruthlessly homophobic president Yahya Jammeh — demanded an apology. Alagie was berated by his parents and his 17 siblings. A trip home would’ve meant the end of Alagie’s freedom and the shuttering of his dream to be the first in his family to graduate college. “The reason most people in the Gambia have this belief that homosexuality is bad is because they haven’t met one person who is homosexual,” said Jammeh, who met many openly gay people in the U.S. The revocation of Gambian support led to Jammeh sleeping in his car, showering at the Rec Cen, and being rejected from countless scholarships because of his

undocumented status. Fearing his deportation after a police officer scolded him for sleeping in his car, Jammeh finally told university administrators of his situation.

When they asked him why he remained silent for so long, he said,“I wanted to see if I could solve this problem by myself.”

Jammeh filed his first asylum application in April 2015, but it was riddled with spelling mistakes made by his first lawyer. For the past four months, Jammeh has driven every Friday to the Public Counsel in Los Angeles, where pro bono lawyers compiled his second application and he prepared for a four-hour interview with immigration officials.“I was nervous. It was scary. I didn’t know what to expect.”

“Most people think they know me. They don’t actually, because for a year here I have gone through a lot,” said Jammeh, who reached his lowest point while penning his suicide note on Goleta Pier at 2 a.m. one night. A phone call from a friend brought him back to reality. Jammeh decided to sleep in his car as long as it took.“I’m going to keep advocating for equality for all people, not just for gay people, but for women, for children, for minority communities. I’m going to advocate for them.” n

Tracking down alleged offenders through online research, neighbor complaints, and subpoenaed information from companies that connect vacationers to shortterm rentals in Santa Barbara, city zoning enforcement officials recently mailed 389 letters reminding owners and operators that such activity is “unlawful in Santa Barbara unless [it’s permitted and] located in zoning districts which allow hotels, motels, or bed and breakfast inns.” The letters represent the city’s latest effort to get a handle on the proliferation of short-term (fewer than 30 days) rentals — both whole-house and owner-occupied homestay accommodations — within city limits.

For years — and against its own zoning code — the city permitted short-term rentals and collected transient-occupancy taxes on the cash flow. But with the arrival of online facilitators such as Airbnb, the market spiked, and more long-term residents started complaining about entire neighborhoods being fundamentally changed by steady waves of traffic congestion and late-night noise by out-oftowners.

The letters encourage recipients to voluntarily comply with city zoning rules, shut down operations, pay back taxes, and allow inspectors to visit rental units, with probable cause. “I still disagree with the direction the city is going on this,” said Theo Kracke, owner of Paradise Retreats, which offers high-end vacation rentals throughout Santa Barbara County. “But [sending out these informational letters] is what the city should have done when this issue first came up, instead of sending out those strongly worded enforcement notices last year.” Kracke heads up STRSantaBarbara.org, an effort to help rewrite the city’s rules on short-term rentals.

As Trump Coasts to Victory, Sanders Still Bashing Clinton in California

by J e r r y r o b e r t s

THIS JUST IN: “There is no drought,” Donald Trump, soon-to-be Republican nominee for president, announced in the San Joaquin Valley a few days ago. Apparently one of the world’s great unsung hydrologists, he told Fresno farmers that getting all the water they want is a mere push-button matter of political will, which I, Donald, will see to in a jiffy.

Back on Planet Earth, meanwhile, future Democratic foe Hillary Clinton still struggles to turn full attention to Trump, as she fights to fend off the insurgency of Senator Bernie Sanders, who’s camped out in California in a last-ditch bid to derail her.

In the final days and hours before the June 7 primary, here is a look at the state of play: THE STAKES: Clinton’s cakewalk to the

Democratic nomination several months ago turned into a friendly-fire marathon grind against Sanders, whose jeremiads against the one percent and campaign finance corruption deeply resonated among millennials and the progressive wing when matched against her center-left, eat-your-spinach incrementalism.

The laws of arithmetic, combined with the Democrats’ funny math methods of selecting convention delegates, however, ensure that Herself will have the requisite 2,383 delegates by the time the polls close on June 7. Regardless of how the 475 state delegates in play are allocated, however, Sanders will inflict a serious wound if he wins the popular vote: As a political matter, it will advance a media narrative casting Clinton as a weak and deeply flawed front-runner; as a practical matter, it will hinder attempts to unify the party’s left and establishment wings, affording Sanders enough daylight to campaign all the way to the July convention in Philadelphia.

HE’S UP; NO, HE’S DOWN: Not since

Charles Lindbergh’s Roaring Twenties days as a wing-walking stunt flyer has anyone barnstormed California with as much energy as Sanders, whose campaign pitched a trio of giant rallies within 24 hours on the Central Coast before hurtling north for another week of three-a-days.

Whether all this whittled Clinton’s oncecomfy lead depends on which poll you like: The two Democrats are either neck and neck — the new Public Policy Institute of California poll gives her a statistically insignificant 46 percent (compared to Sanders’s 44 percent) lead in a telephone survey of 552 likely Democratic primary voters — or she’s comfortably ahead — 51 to 38 percent, in a just-out Hoover Institution web-only poll of 1,196 likelies (the key Field Poll: out shortly).

A pretty big hint of where Clinton thinks things stand may be gleaned from her updated campaign schedule: At press time, she suddenly canceled campaign events in New Jersey, which votes the same day as California, to head back to the Golden State.

WHO WILL VOTE: The presidential pri-

mary results, along with Santa Barbara’s closely watched 24th Congressional District, depend, of course, on what the demographic makeup of the electorate is.

Key variables: The Hoover poll shows Clinton wins huge majorities among registered Democrats (53 to 36 percent) and older voters (63 to 22 percent). However, Sanders runs far ahead among those younger than 30 (61 to 30 percent) and independent, “no party preference” voters (67 to 27 percent). If a statewide voter registration surge, including in Santa Barbara County, rests largely on millennials and independents, as some well-informed propeller heads believe, those numbers may be read as helping Bernie.

The twist: While Republicans do not allow independents to vote in their presidential primary, Democrats do — if these so-called No Party Preference voters request a presidential ballot. This dynamic has led to complaints by independent voters around the state; a further complication is that tens of thousands of nonpartisans, according to a Los Angeles Times investigation, mistakenly registered with the rightwing American Independent Party, a remnant of the group set up in the 1960s in part to boost the candidacy of segregationist George Wallace.

Bottom line: The more procedural difficulty pro-Sanders independents encounter, the more Clinton benefits.

WHAT WOULD JERRY DO? Clinton should gain around the margins from Governor Jerry Brown’s just-announced endorsement: “This is no time for Democrats to keep fighting each other,” he wrote.

Casting his move in practical terms, Brown said Clinton “has convincingly made the case that she knows how to get things done and has the tenacity and skill to advance the Democratic agenda.”

Along with trashing Trump, he also praised Sanders, however, adding a note of nostalgia for his own defiant 1992 populist challenge to Bill Clinton a quarter-century ago: “He has driven home the message that the top one percent has unfairly captured way too much of America’s wealth, leaving the majority of people far behind. In 1992, I attempted a similar campaign.” n So there’s that.

He loved Turkish and Arabic music and was part of the UCSB Middle East Ensemble for many years, helping in pronunciation and translations of lyrics.

He enjoyed singing in the chorus, sparring with the leader of the ensemble as to whom was the best Arabic musician in the last century, serving as part of the ensemble’s board and introducing students in the ensemble to some aspects of Islamic culture.

He had a lifelong interest in calligraphy, occasionally giving lectures and giving children instruction in Arabic calligraphy. He helped one of the now leading calligraphers in the U.S. start his study of the Arabic language and encouraged him to go to Turkey to study with one of his friends who is probably the world’s best calligrapher.

Ihsan volunteered for many organizations, serving as a leader for the Boy Scouts and a soccer coach for the AYSO. Probably his favorite task was as president of the Goleta Photography Club for many years, where he enjoyed helping others learn some of the finer points of photography.

His family and his wife, Sabina, would like to thank all those who visited him and helped him during these last days and months — especially those who came to share their love of music with him.

Ihsan was buried on Tuesday, May 24, 2016, at the Santa Barbara Cemetery.

Ihsan Ali Saib, also known as IhsanBey, made his way to paradise on Sunday, May 22, 2016. He was comforted by friends, family and the wonderful staff of Sarah House in Santa Barbara where he spent his last days. Born in Kirkuk, Iraq, on Sept 18, 1929, he was educated as a teacher in Bagdad. He came to the United States in 1955 where he studied and graduated from UC Berkeley with a master’s degree.

Ihsan enjoyed helping people, whether it was training Peace Corps volunteers for service in the Middle East, foreign students who were adjusting to American culture and schools, American students who were studying Arabic or Turkish, or friends who were having a difficult time.

After coming to Santa Barbara in 1974, he was one of a small group that founded the Islamic Center of Santa Barbara, many members of which came to pray with him and chant Koran during his last days giving peace to him and his wife of 56 years.

Ihsan was proud of his sons, David and Joseph, both of whom graduated from local schools and the UC system.

Together with their wives, Chika and Safieh, they gave him 9 grandchildren, most of whom were at his bedside as he passed away.

Elizabeth Lee Hills Robertson came into this world on March 23, 1920. She was the daughter of Harry Sawyer Hills and Mildred Elizabeth Lee Hills, residing in Oroville, CA. Her family called her "Betty." In 1922 sister Harriett was born.

Sadly, their mother, Mildred, became very ill and died within a few days of the birth of her second daughter. Betty and Harriett were raised by their father and a loving grandmother, Isabella Martin Hills, and her sister Mildred Pearl Martin "Mid." In 1928 Harry married Willow Sawyer.

Betty's grandparents Clark Joshua Lee and Mary Elizabeth Miller Lee (fondly called Nana and Daw) were prominent residents of Quincy, CA, and as loving grandparents, they welcomed Betty and Harriett into their grand Victorian home on Jackson Street every summer. Betty often said that spending her summers in Quincy was her favorite part of her childhood and teenage years.

In 1928, Betty's father drove his family from Oroville to Bucks Lake to look for a lot for a cabin. He chose a beautiful spot right on the lake off of Mile High Road. The cabin was built in 1934. Many weekend trips were made to and from the cabin, and the two girls dreaded the hot, two-hour drive up the twisty and dusty road from Oroville. Plus, there were no other children to play with at the lake. But by their teenage years, both Betty and Harriett grew to love the cabin on the lake and took turns sharing the summer months there as long as their health allowed.

In 1937 Betty graduated from Oroville Union High School and attended Stanford University for two years. It was at Stanford that friends tagged her with the name "Lee." In 1939 she moved on to live at the Women's Residence Club at 940 Powell Street in San Francisco and attended Saline-Johnston Business College to learn secretarial skills. Soon after she was gainfully employed as a secretary, she moved to a 2-bedroom apartment with 3 other young women for five years. Two of the roommates were Elizabeth Campbell and Ruth Nadeau, who became her life long friends.

When WWII broke out and all American men and women were called upon for the war effort, Betty signed up to serve in the Red Cross. At 24 years of age, she sailed out of Fort Lawton, WA, in a convoy headed to Honolulu. Here she was trained in a nurse's camp for 6 weeks, which included physical fitness exercises and jungle survival. After her training, she was sent to Guam to work in the army's 204th Division General Hospital, a 2,000-bed facility. She said the daily operations were very much like the TV series "M.A.S.H." She continued working with our injured soldiers confined in the hospital for another 6 months after the war ended and arrived back in the states in March of 1946.

A romance that started while at Stanford was rekindled after her return, and on April 26, 1947, Lee Hills married Richard Worcester Robertson in Carmel. The couple resided in Los Altos, where Dick attended Law School. After Dick passed the bar, they moved to Glendale, where in 1949 their daughter Linda Lee was born. Soon after, they settled in Santa Barbara. And in 1951 second daughter Lauren Lynn arrived.

Although Lee might say she was "just a housewife" while raising her daughters, her passion was reading cookbooks and becoming a gourmet cook. As a prominent attorney, her husband was a strong supporter of local politicians who were frequently entertained at dinner parties hosted by Lee in their beautiful Santa Barbara home.

In 1979 Lee and Dick divorced, and she began a new chapter in her life. First, she made the decision to rent rooms in her home to young women and continued to be a "housemother" for 20 years, which she dearly loved.

At the age of 63 she enrolled in the La Belle Finishing/Modeling School and enjoyed her engagements in professional modeling. She acquired a dress style of her own that set her apart from others.

Lee studied nutrition extensively and followed a regimented diet. She also took on a dedicated exercise program in midlife. During her stays at the Bucks Lake Cabin, she took daily swims and in the morning would walk 4 miles to the dam and back, timing herself on her walk. At home in Santa Barbara, she would walk 4 miles or more in city blocks.

Lee became a recovering alcoholic, and through the program she was a role model, sponsoring and mentoring many young people through the recovery process. Lee acquired many dear friends who became more like family through the years. At the time of her death, she was celebrating her 45th year of sobriety.

Along the way, Lee adopted the philosophy to be a more accepting person by summarizing a situation with the word "Whatever," which became her motto.

In 1982, cousin Kimberlee gave her the name of "Auntie Mame" because it was so fitting to her lifestyle; other family members began calling her Auntie Mame, as well. For years, Mame drove her car with a personalized license plate which read "Antmame."

In 1994 she felt it was time to leave her home and move into a lovely apartment in a retirement setting at Samarkand. In no time at all, the Samarkand residents became well aware of the new kid on the block. Through Lee's persistence, the garbage cans which stood out in the open were soon hidden by a more attractive wall, and Lee became known as "The Queen of Trash," later shortened to simply "The Queen."

For her 75th birthday she hosted a lavish party at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara themed "A 1940's Affair to Remember," and indeed it was! With men in black tie and women in mink and pearls, the evening remains in the Lee and Robertson family history as the party of a lifetime.

At Christmas, family and friends expectantly awaited Lee's annual Christmas card. She was a gifted storyteller, and each year her cards contained a photo newsletter as well as a shared memory revealing a different chapter of her life.

She put a lot of time and effort into her cards, sending out over 100 cards every year. And in turn, she treasured the cards she received.

Her grandmother, Nana, taught her that if you want something done right, you should do it yourself. And so in Chase Palm Park on Cabrillo Blvd in Santa Barbara there is already a memorial bench that reads: Lee Hills Robertson "A wild, wacky, wonderful woman lives on in our hearts." And indeed she does.

Lee is survived by daughter Linda Robertson Jordan of Fruita, Colorado; granddaughters Meghan Jordan and Stephanie Jordan and great-grandson Malachi, as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her daughter Lauren Robertson Wells and her sister, Harriet Smith.

Lee was the proud matriarch of the Lee family and from time to time needed to gently remind family members of her role. She made a great difference in all of our lives, and she will be greatly missed.

Goodnight, Sweetheart, goodnight. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, Lee has requested that donations be made to either Alcoholics Anonymous Central Office, 14 West Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93105, or Plumas County Museum, 500 Jackson Street, Quincy, CA 95971.

Mark Alan Ravenscroft 07/21/59-05/12/16

Mark was born July 21, 1959, in Kansas City, Missouri. At the age of two the family moved to Santa Barbara, where he attended Monroe Elementary and La Cumbre Junior High. As a Don, Mark (number 23) played football for SBHS, Class of '77.

Together with his brothers, he experienced fun times in the Cub Scouts, Webelos and Boy Scouts Troop 15 on the Mesa. After high school Mark joined the U.S. Marine Corp. He proudly served 3 years as Lance Corporal. He told many a story/tall tale from his treasured experience in the service. He was proud to

serve his country as a Marine.

Mark loved to entertain and make people laugh. He always had a story to tell or a joke to share. A well-known bouncer at Joe's Café, he was gregarious by nature, making friends easily.

Mark loved to cook. He's known for a mean cup of chili, a campfire chicken and dumplings, and tamales. He was featured in Santa Barbara News-Press for his traditional meals at the holidays. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Mark is survived by his mother, Annie Franz, siblings Anna Marie Ravenscroft, Millie Ravenscroft, Bruce (Gayle) Ravenscroft, Jr. and Arthur (Gina) Ravenscroft, and many nephews and nieces, grandnephews and nieces whom he loved dearly. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Raquel and Rudolph I. Hernandez; grandparents William B and Mildred Ravenscroft; his father Bruce Eric Ravenscroft, and wife, Chere Barnhardt.

Memorial services will be held in the Santa Barbara Cemetery Chapel on June 14 at 10 am. There will be a family and friends potluck at Oak Park following the service. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite charity in Mark’s name.

HEART BERN: Checked out Bernie Sanders at City College this weekend. Not the

wearisome-but-right uncle I anticipated, forefingers ever aloft, highlighting violent inequalities of the so-called social order. I loved it. Miraculously, Bernie has managed to reach my kids —both voting age —who hitherto have remained unmoved by parental exhortations about civic responsibility. Even so, I never really felt “The Bern.” Maybe LBJ’s dictum WAS stuck in my head: Winning elections is all about not losing them. Right now, not losing to Trump trumps everything.

I get the rage and despair. Every time the Republican Main Street-versus-Wall Street crowd has sought to vent its outrage — remember the Tea Party and their quaint three-cornered hats— Karl Rove and Republican Establishment goons squads

have co-opted them. Conservative outsider voices were forced to such extreme positions not even Rove could follow. That’s one reason we now have Trump, proof positive of what happens when Tourette’s syndrome is left untreated. I get “A plague on both your houses.” But how is anyone who says, “I kind of hope for” the real estate crash, as Trump did, not a plague himself?

These are historic times. That a commie Jew is now a serious, albeit distant, contender for the White House qualifies as a genuine first.

But more so is the prospect of electing the first woman. So come November, all you Bernie lovers, be ready to put aside all feelings of burned

idealism and vote Hillary. Right now, it’s all about not losing. If you think otherwise, ask the people who fought the unwinnable war we’re still waging —14 years later—in Iraq.

In Santa Barbara County, the encouraging news is that voter registration has exploded.

As of last count, there were 201,000 registered voters; that compares to 183,000 in the 2008 primary—the historic Hillary versus Obama showdown. In just the past five months, 10,400 new registrations were recorded with county elections officials. About 9,000 were Democrats, 2,000 Republicans, and the noparty-preference crowd—typically the fastest-growing voter block—recorded an actual drop in numbers. Something is happening.

The Democratic machine—whether finetuned or not—is moving heaven and earth to get 1st District Supervisor Salud Carbajal elected to Congress and State Assemblymember Das Williams elected to replace Carbajal. In both instances, the strangeness of the political bedfellows might have brought both up on morals charges in less openminded times. Carbajal is a smart, safe and strategic, middle-of-the-road candidate who’s survived in politics by making few mistakes and working harder than God. (Unlike the Almighty, Carbajal doesn’t take the seventh day to rest.) Almost as insatiable as his need to be liked is Carbajal’s phenomenal ability to raise money.

Where other candidates despise fundraising, Carbajal finds it merely “annoying.”

In other words, he’s a beast. Little wonder May 19 he was a conspicuous no-show at a congressional debate hosted by San Marcos High School students. Carbajal was hosting a long-planned major fundraiser at the baronial estate of Donald Trump supporter Patrick Nesbitt —near Padaro Lane—where well-heeled congregants on both sides of the aisle paid big bucks to bask in Carbajal’s nonideological, solutions-oriented mojo.

Making this bizarre, Nesbitt had sued Carbajal’s beloved former boss and legendary political mentor Naomi Schwartz, who objected loudly back in the ’90s when Nesbitt sought ag grading permits for a new mansion and polo field under the nakedly ridiculous guise of being a sod farm. Nesbitt would later sue Schwartz for violating his free-speech rights by bringing the wrath of the county planners upon him for speaking out against the Pacifica Graduate Institute, where septic system overflows were then more numerous than all the Jungian archetypes wandering the campus combined. Pacifica bigwigs, Nesbitt alleged, were big buddies and supporters of Schwartz, and she was getting back at him — and his proposed development — for speaking ill of them. Ultimately, Nesbitt and the county would settle, and he’d get approval for his mansion, polo field, and state-of-theart, poop-free, fly-free stables made with the finest cherry wood. Since then Nesbitt has emerged as one of the biggest water guzzlers in Montecito and has been waging scorchedearth legal warfare against the water district to get the cheaper water rates set aside for genuine agricultural operations. That Car-

bajal could go brazo a brazo—rather than mano a mano—with the man who attacked his boss and mentor with the same ferocity that’s earned Nesbitt the nickname “the Maroon Harpoon” for his aggressive polo play—suggests a degree of pragmatism on Carbajal’s part bordering on contortionism.

Almost as striking was the endorsement Democrat Das Williams, über-liberal eco warrior in the state legislature, nearly secured from the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce in his 1st District supervisor race even though the statewide California Chamber ranked his voting record secondworst of all assemblymembers in four of the past five years. Williams, however, scored big points with local Chamber leadership for his pedal-to-the-metal support for the freeway-widening project, warts and all. His opponent, Jennifer Christensen — though far more business-friendly on a wide array of issues — had the temerity to suggest plans for the freeway widening were seriously deficient on a few fronts and should be fixed. This is not merely the most important issue to the Chamber brass; it’s the only issue. When Christensen leaked word that Williams was about to get the nod, rank-n-file Chamber members stormed the bastille, armed with pitchforks and rakes.

Chamber leadership was forced to beat a strategic retreat, and mum’s been the word ever since.

In the meantime, meditate on Vince Lombardi’s immortal words: “Not losing isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.”

The Jay Freeman Alternative

T

he Santa Barbara Independent’s assertion — that Jay Freeman’s candidacy would push Bruce Porter to victory in the race for 3rd District supervisor — misrepresents the math [independent.com/primary2016endorsements]. Because Freeman and the other independent candidates push us toward a runoff election, this primary is a chance to vote without fear of settling for “the lesser of two evils.”

Any vote against Porter will prevent him from reaching the 50-plus-one-percent mark needed to win outright. Porter’s opposition can vote for any of a number of candidates; Jay Freeman and Joan Hartmann supporters form the same pool against Porter’s attempted majority. Any vote that is not for Bruce Porter is one against him.

And Jay Freeman’s vocal alternative to the establishment brings out voters who would otherwise not vote. Every new vote for someone other than Porter forces him to struggle to make up the difference. With real platforms and a higher voter turnout, we push the race away from a simple majority for any one candidate and toward a runoff.

Jay Freeman entered this race to provide voters, especially in unincorporated communities, with a real choice: a new relationship with the government that serves them. He’s running for County Supervisor to represent the entire 3rd District. He will be the true and fearless voice Santa Barbara County needs.

The Other Guys

N

inette Paloma’s otherwise excellent article [independent.com/stagingwork] on the city’s profusion of performance venues and the arts-presenting organizations that use them had three glaring omissions in my opinion: Opera Santa Barbara, Ensemble Theatre Company, and the Theatre Group at SBCC. Each of these organizations serves a unique role in the cultural life of our community, engaging and employing hundreds of area artists and performers.

Speaking on behalf of Opera Santa Barbara, over the past two decades our company has staged more than 55 operas at the Lobero

and Granada theaters, and devoted thousands of hours to educational programming. Our productions regularly attract topline talent and garner effusive reviews, including in The Independent. The organization remains dedicated to the core passions that animated its founding: celebrating the breadth and beauty of opera, and contributing to the region’s cultural enrichment. We take great pride in all that we accomplish on behalf of our supporters and the wider community.

In view of our accomplishments and rich history, I believe Opera Santa Barbara (like our peer arts-presenting organizations locally) deserves prominent mention in all

Porter = Leadership

T

his election, voters in the 3rd District will have the opportunity to vote for a supervisor with deep and broad life experiences and skills that will result in solid leadership, and practical and common-sense solutions to our county problems.

Bruce Porter has dedicated his life to the service of our community and nation with a formidable record of service and achievement. This background strongly recommends him to the office of County Supervisor.

As an officer in the Army Corps of Engineers, he has built and repaired roads, laid out water and utility systems, and built homes and community buildings, and he has a solid knowledge of infrastructure planning. As an environmental background, he has personally fought wildfires, responded to oil spills, developed programs to protect endangered species, and provided drinking water during floods.

In his civilian retirement, he has been elected to the Santa Ynez school board, balanced a public budget, negotiated employment contracts, and worked with funding shortages. He has managed public shelters during fires, helped youth become Eagle Scouts, and raised funds for numerous nonprofits.

He successfully transitioned from military service to managing a small business in civilian life, and he has a record of hiring high

school and college interns to further their careers.

Please vote for Bruce Porter for 3rd District Supervisor. He will provide strong leadership and balanced judgment for the future of our — Brooks Firestone, Solvang county.

he news that Santa Barbara City College will be offering free tuition for two years to local students through its SBCC Promise program brought tears of joy to my eyes! We are witnessing a sea change with the hiring of Dr. Anthony Beebe and now this announcement, placing greater emphasis on serving area students at SBCC. I wholeheartedly support this change and will do everything in my power to support SBCC in these efforts going forward to see that the promise is fulfilled.

As a neighbor of City College, I have been an outspoken opponent of the creation of “dorms” and high-density student housing on the Mesa. I will continue to oppose any efforts to “I.V. the Mesa,” and I see these actions as positive steps in the right direction. A winwin situation for sure! — Jeanne Surber, S.B.

ASK THE DENTIST QUESTION: What is the difference between oral and IV sedation?

ANSWER: There are some major differences between oral (or anti anxiety medication) and IV sedation. IV sedation: • It is a very safe form of sedation when extensive general anesthesia is not needed • Is a more reliable form of sedation than oral medication, which may or may not give you the desired result and can wear off quickly.

•Allows us to complete any amount of dental work at one time much more efficiently while you remain relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure without memory of your procedure.

• Makes it possible to give you anti inflammatory and pain medication in your IV that can jump start your healing process without you having to take medication as soon as you get home.

IV Sedation is something we do daily at Ericson Dental and we would be happy to schedule a consultation with you to discuss how it could benefit your dental treatment and experience at our office.

We Need Fareed

A

s happens with most popular candidates fighting for the people and against the status quo, Justin Fareed has received the brunt of distasteful and inaccurate assertions.

Justin is far from the establishment candidate in the race for Congress, especially compared to Katcho Achadjian, who has been endorsed by every political insider in California. By looking at his site, you will find that Justin has been endorsed by leaders known for challenging the establishment and successfully defending the voices of their constituents. Justin has spent his entire campaign reaching out and talking to voters, while other leading candidates have spent it fundraising and hiding within their inner circles.

Also, it’s important to note that while certain individuals lie about Justin’s fundraising, Achadjian and

Salud Carbajal finance their campaigns largely from outside donors. So, not only do they fail to talk to the people of this district; they fail to raise a majority of their funds from it.

Ultimately, Justin Fareed is the most hardworking and passionate candidate running. He has a vision to strengthen our community and nation. So, instead of listening to blatant mudslinging from the establishment candidates’ network, look at the facts. I’m confident that you will understand why Justin Fareed has earned support from every demographic along the Central Coast, making him the voice we need in — Ike Chafkin, S.B. Congress.

Congressional Race

the raCe for

CoNgress NiNe CaNdidates Vie for 24th distriCt seat

by Kelsey brugger

A

fter nearly two decades, Lois Capps, the nicest member of Congress, is stepping down, setting off a tumultuous race that has been anything but nice. The 24th Congressional District, which encompasses the counties of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and a slice of Ventura, now has nine candidates vying for the office.

Of the nine, five are outsiders, all raising relatively little money and securing fewer endorsements. The top four, however, two Democrats and two Republicans, have enough cash and support to put up a strong fight. Adding to the drama is California’s open primary system, which allows the top two vote getters in the June 7 election to be from the same party.

Between the two leading Democrats, the campaigns have been increasingly nasty. County Supervisor Salud Carbajal and City of Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider—once rising stars and liberal allies —barely look at each other in public gatherings.

As for the Republicans, Katcho Achadjian, a two-term assemblymember and 12-year San Luis Obispo County supervisor, has long been the establishment’s pick. But Justin Fareed, an ambitious, energetic 27-year-old with deep pockets who ran a quixotic race two years ago against Lois Capps, ignored the old guard’s wishes and took on the party favorite, Achadjian.

The five lesser-known contenders—Bill Ostrander, Matt Kokkonen, Benjamin Lucas, John Uebersax, and Steve Isakson —might lack money but are rich in personality, brashness, and stamina. Ostrander emerged as the Bernie Sanders candidate, even making bumper stickers that say, “Feel the Bill.” Though he objects to the label, Kokkonen functions as Donald Trump’s alter ego for harsh remarks he made about “illegal aliens.” He went so far as to question Carbajal’s legal status but got no traction.

Notably, three of the candidates are immigrants — Kokkonen (Finland), Carbajal (Mexico), and Achadjian (Lebanon). The three have strikingly different positions on immigration. The national issue is significant in the district as it is home to tens of thousands of undocumented people.

Phil Klein/Santa Maria tiMeS

For a decade, the 24th Congressional District was so gerrymandered that it was known as the “Ribbon of Shame” and gave Dems a 22 percent advantage in registered voters. In all of Capps’s nine races, just four were considered competitive.

Today the Democrats only hold a 3.5 percent lead among registered voters. This makes the 24th one of the most competitive House races in the country.

Not surprisingly, Democratic committees have spent more than $600,000 to support Carbajal. The National Republican Congressional Committee dropped $220,000 on attack ads against Carbajal. Citizen Super PAC, a political action committee that functions like a crowdsourcing platform, spent roughly $275,000 on ads supporting Fareed. Kokkonen, a financial planner, gave $200,000 to his own campaign. Meanwhile, Ostrander — the political finance reform candidate —denounced money’s impact on all contests. But the cash continues to flow.

Anyone paying attention — at all— all has seen the political TV ads bombard the airways and mailers fill mailboxes: The ad attacking Achadjian for being “terrible for women”; the TV ad bashing Carbajal for approving a pay raise for the Board of Supervisors while lambasting Schneider as a universal-healthcare advocate; the mailer likening Ostrander to Sanders. But these depictions offer only a glimpse of who these people really are.

Salud Carbajal

When Salud Carbajal was 5, he, along with his seven brothers and sisters, took a bus from their Mexican village to the small town of Bagdad, Arizona, where his father worked as a unionized copper miner.

Three years later, Carbajal experienced serious trauma when he found the body of his older sister who had just committed suicide.“I feel like I’ve never really dealt with that through my entire life,” the now 51-year-old supervisor said.

Years later, after his father was laid off, the family moved to La Colonia, the Oxnard barrio where his father worked in the fields. “To me it was like moving to the big city,” Carbajal remembered.

“He could have easily been caught up with the gang culture, but he wasn’t,” said Ross Fontes, now an Oxnard College counselor who met Carbajal when they were both in the 9thgrade.

Instead, Fontes remembers him as a talker— talker “a real rah-rah kind of guy”— guy” who made deals with his teacher to bring in candy for the whole class if they got good grades. Carbajal did well, got into UCSB, and joined the Marine Corps Reserve, following in the footsteps of his older brother, Emmanuel.

After graduation, Carbajal eventually landed a job at the county’s Public Health Department, where he caught the eye of the late Naomi Schwartz, the legendary 1st District supervisor, eventually becoming her chief of staff. Though he once entertained running for City Council, Schwartz encouraged him to go for county supervisor after she retired. Many credit her for launching his political career.

Carbajal touts his prowess at bringing opposing sides together, developers and angry neighbors, for instance. And as a result, he often makes friends from both sides of an issue. He even garnered support from hard-core Republican Pat Nesbitt, a confrontational Summerland resident. On May 19, Nesbitt even held a fundraiser for Carbajal, who missed a debate at San Marcos High School to attend, composed of a political mix of people; Carbajal embraced the “politically diverse crowd.”

Though his fundraising skills are enviable—he has raised more than $1.9 million so far, he denies being influenced by the money: “I’ve never hesitated to vote against somebody who has been a supporter.”

But not even Carbajal could smooth out every polarized issue. A longtime supporter of open talks with the Chumash, Carbajal once sided with three fellow county supervisors by opposing the tribe’s application to expand its reservation borders.“There’s got to be some give,” he once begged an antiChumash expansion audience, hoping to find a compromise, but all he managed to do was annoy just about everyone.

Among his achievements, Carbajal expanded children’s health care, relaunched the truancy program, and successfully led opposition to Supervisor Peter Adam’s controversial maintenance proposal, Measure M. But Carbajal, one of the only Latino elected officials on the South Coast, did not take a firm

Helene Schneider came of political age in the ’80s in New York City, where she was named head girl at her private high school, sat on the student council, and was class valedictorian. Asked if she was a marchingin-the-streets type, the 45-year-old said, “a little,” but she “had high school friends who were much more politically active.”

Her parents divorced when she was a baby, and she lived with her mother in a rentcontrolled apartment on the Upper West Side. The women in her family were Democrats; the men tended to lean Republican.

But she was greatly influenced by her favorite uncle, a strong Dem and political science PhD, especially when she would listen to him arguing over politics with her grandfather, a lifelong Republican.

Two weeks after graduating from Skidmore College — a private liberal arts school — Schneider moved to Santa Barbara with her then-boyfriend, now exhusband. She worked as the human resources director of Planned Parenthood, and eventually joined with other activists who were organizing to help elect more women into political office. One outcome of this was the forming of the now highly influential Women’s Political Committee, which Schneider chaired from 1999-2000. Through their efforts, the first women were elected to the County Board of Supervisors in 1989.

The Committee also supported the successful campaigns of Susan Rose and Hannah-Beth Jackson among many others — including Schneider.

In 2003, she ran for City Council, along with Das Williams, now a termed-out State Assemblymember running for Carbajal’s seat as 1st District Supervisor.

Both Schneider and Williams were up-and-coming young guns of the Democratic party; both championed affordable housing, the living wage, and antigentrification in the Funk Zone. They both won.

On the council, Schneider was inclusive and thoughtful, and encouraged public participation, said former City Councilmember Grant House, who is supporting her. House has a clock hanging in his kitchen Schneider gave him that says, “Well-behaved women never make history.” Hardworking and intelligent, she nevertheless does not hide her fun-loving, outgoing nature. It turns out she can really belt a tune and often volunteers to do so at benefits. Three weeks

ago she sang karaoke at Dargan’s Irish Pub & Restaurant for the National Kidney Foundation’s Karaoke for a Cause.

As mayor, Schneider has at times been unapologetically bold. She fought the development of 25 homes on the 14-acre parcel Veronica Meadows, restarted the desalination plant, and led the unanimous adoption of the general plan.

Not everything ran smoothly. In 2007, as a city councilmember, Schneider pushed for the Light Blue Line, an environmental art project proposing to paint a 1,000-foot strip on streets throughout the city, showing where the waterline would rise when the ice caps melted from global warming. Worried about negative impacts to housing prices, realtors and homeowners caused a near riot. Crowds packed the usually dreary Historic Landmarks Commission meeting — and the applicants ultimately dropped the project. Even some of her supporters thought she had rushed into the project. Reflecting on the matter, Schneider laughed, “I want to raise awareness about city level rise … and I definitely raised the awareness of city level rise.”

Though perhaps insignificant, the Light Blue Line does serve as an illustration of Schneider’s occasional trait of neglecting to line up support before charging forward. A more serious example of this was how she launched her four-part voter sales tax initiative, Invest in Santa Barbara, which had great potential but had not gotten influential stakeholders to buy into the different tax proposals. The initiative never got off the ground. She defends her approach, however, by saying she wanted to take it to the voters first and that many people appreciate how she gave the ideas a hearing.

“You can never hit a homerun,” she said, “if you don’t get up to bat.”

It surprised many that the few women’s political groups that had supported her in earlier races did not endorse her for this congressional campaign. State Senator Jackson proved to be one of the few. Democratic Women endorsed Carbajal, and the Women’s Political Committee did not have enough votes to endorse any candidate. Emily’s List, the pro-choice organization dedicated to electing women, also opted to stay out of this race.

Longtime Democrat E.J. Borah, one of Schneider’s chief backers, scorned Carbajal’s tendency to “work the room.” “She doesn’t do that,” she said. “I think one of her greatest assets is her independence. … She’s not as politically savvy as Salud. She doesn’t play the game.

And it’s not because she doesn’t know how.”

Bill ostrander

Bill Ostrander, 56, was once an actor, where he certainly learned to project his voice. He grew up on a farm in Indiana — he once cried for three days after his pig was killed at a fair — but left to make films in Hollywood because of his “compassion and curiosity.”

Ostrander, selfdescribed as “very progressive,” only joined the Democratic Party last March because it is a “suicide mission” to run for office as an Independent. At debates, he often stands, practically yelling at the crowd, usually about his main issue: money in politics.

Katcho Achadjian

By all accounts, Katcho Achadjian is a nice man. He grew up in Lebanon, where his parents settled after surviving the Armenian genocide. His father began work by unloading boxes in a grocery store but eventually was able to buy and expand the business. In the early ’70s, at age 19, Achadjian immigrated to San Luis Obispo, where he followed his father’s example. Working in a gas store while attending Cuesta College, and later Cal Poly, he studied business administration, saved his money, and bought the Shell Gas Station on Grand Street. Today he owns three stations and employs 26 people.

Asked if his father influenced him, he said, “I wouldn’t say that because he advised me never to get into gas stations and never to get into politics.”

Achadjian has been a Republican all his life—at first because he thought the Democrats were soft on the Russian regime during the Cold War and also because he thought government regulations stunted small businesses.

Assemblymemeber Achadjian served three terms as the county supervisor in San Luis Obispo, where he has high name recognition. He is sometimes described as a moderate, but Allen Settle, Cal Poly political science professor and former mayor of the City of S.L.O., doubted many Democrats would vote for him.

Settle said his surveys indicate Republican women tend to be prochoice, and speculated the Democratic ads attacking his nay votes on reproductive choice and access to women’s health care would hurt him, “especially with the young millennial women who will vote.” Achadjian, who is Armenian Christian and pro-life, believes abortion should only be permitted in cases of rape or incest or if the mother’s life is in danger.

“My thing is do we have the voice of the voiceless unborn child?” he asked.

“Who is standing up for their rights?”

In the Assembly, Achadjian voted against allowing nurse practitioners to perform early abortions and against a mandate on privately owned pregnancy crisis centers to provide information about reproductive health services, including abortion.

But he voted in favor of some legislation that supported women’s rights, including Senator Jackson’s Fair Pay Act and a bill that prohibited sex discrimination in the workplace. He also noted that the top executive at his gas stations is a woman.

Achadjian has a reputation for being pro-development rights. But according to Settle, he was not “the type who was banging on the table, saying,‘I’m going to vote for every damn development.’ He wants to make sure everyone has had their say.”

Achadjian served four years on the California Coastal Commission and joined environmentally minded legislators who opposed the controversial firing of former executive director Charles Lester.

On the campaign trail, Achadjian voted to allow undocumented people to obtain driver’s licenses. But at a March forum, he said, “I don’t believe in amnesty. You need to earn it.” He also called for securing the borders and bringing back the guest worker visa, the Bracero Program of the ’40s.

On the campaign trail, Achadjian, now 65, seemed subdued, though recently he appears slightly more energized. At the first San Luis debate,

GOP-ERS: Second-time congressional candidate Justin Fareed (right), has raised more than $1 million, challenging establishment favorite Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian (left).

he put on glasses to read from notes and admitted feeling “wobbly” after driving from Sacramento. His is a family-run campaign; daughter Nyri Achadjian is his campaign manager and has appeared in a TV ad contending her father supports women.

The district’s Republican establishment coalesced around Achadjian early, lobbying him to run. Achadjian said,“I was not planning on doing it, but opportunity knocked on my door.”An admitted workaholic, Achadjian said if he loses, he will go back to work at his gas stations.

Justin Fareed

The youngest candidate in the race, Justin Fareed joked at a recent forum, “Everyone knows I’m 27 — I feel 28.” Fareed grew up in town, graduated from Santa Barbara High Paul wellman Photos

same thing that motivated me to resign actually propelled me back into it,” he explained of his decision to get back into politics. He lost in the Republican primary to Chris Mitchum by just 614 votes, who in turn lost to Capps in the general election. In his campaign, Fareed hired the campaign manager of former Republican presidential candidate Governor Scott Walker. In 2014, he gave himself a $200,000 loan that he later forgave at the end of his campaign.

Fareed has not loaned his 2016 campaign any money.

Asked in an interview in January who his political mentors are, he could not say.

“I appreciate every interaction, whether it’s somebody at the restaurant, gas station, or somebody who is running a business,” he said, adding he likes ultra-conservative County Supervisor Adam, who endorsed him.

Some Republican establishment bigwigs encouraged Fareed to run for State Assembly, but he refused. His challengers criticize his lack of life and career experience, but he counters with, “There is absolutely not one candidate in this race who has developed a grassroots campaign from scratch.” In debates, he is verbose, and has a tendency to quarrel with the moderator.

Matt Kokkonen School, and went on to UCLA. He was on the football team, but a knee injury kept him on the bench a lot. His father, an orthopedic surgeon, started ProBand Sports, a medical device company located near Montecito. Fareed grew up packing boxes in his family’s garage when the business was small.

It is now such a success that he was able to buy a $1 million condo in Goleta.

The political bug bit him in 2012, when he worked as a legislative aide to Kentucky Congressmember Ed Whitfield. After just 15 months, he left D.C., fed up with the dysfunction, he said. But the next year, he entered the 24th congressional race. “That

Matt Kokkonen is seen as the anti-immigrant immigrant. He landed in New York City at age 16 with one suitcase. Now he has two. “Only in America,” he jokes. A National Guard veteran, financial planner, and Westmont alum, Kokkonen’s rhetoric is far right, claiming that “gridlock is actually good because when Congress can’t agree on something, people are safe.”

In debates, the white-haired 71-year-old does not soften his language, saying recently he is “sick and tired of illegal aliens.” He called for mandates that employers use the e-verify program and stricter enforcement of current immigration laws.“We don’t have to deport the people who are here illegally; [they] will deport themselves,” he said in an interview.

How close is Maravilla?

You can almost reach it in two.

Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration.

But Maravilla Senior Living is still tantalizingly close to Sandpiper Golf Club.

It’s just 10,912 yards away—a dogleg southwest, if you will. And there are many other courses nearby as well.

It truly is a great location to live for golfers and non-golfers alike.

In fact, most folks can’t help but feel a bit inspired when surrounded by the beauty of Goleta Valley. And Maravilla itself? With its spectacular views and amenities straight out of a resort you can bet your 5-iron it’ll feel like home.

And assisted living services are always available if needed.

Meet Dr. MegaVolt Text by Caitlin FitCh

Since 1981, Austin Richards (pictured right in his home workshop with his son, William) has been dreaming up and building Tesla coils for entertainment. But in 1997, he took his hobby to a new level by building a metal suit to protect himself from the coil’s electronic discharges, and the character Dr. MegaVolt was born. “It’s sort of like being a lion tamer,” he said. “It focuses your attention, and you have to be extra aware of where your body is at all times.”

Dr. MegaVolt and his wife, Victoria Charters, aka Mistress MegaVolt, who performs in a metal suit of her own, have taken this Santa Barbara–based electroperformance all over the world, including to Burning Man, Italy, Thailand, and Abu Dhabi. MegaVolt even guest starred on Germany’s Next Topmodel and most recently mesmerized the crowd at the opening party for SBCAST (pictured above). By day, Richards is the father of twins and a research scientist at Flir Systems; Mistress MegaVolt also produced a documentary called Dr. MegaVolt: From Geek to Superhero.

his summer, budding paleontologists will be able to pick a bone with a ferocious flesh-eating dinosaur at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

“Not only is this the most famous T. rex in the world, there’s also an entire exhibition that really helps you understand these amazing creatures,” said the museum’s Luke Swetland of A T. rex Named Sue, the fully articulated 67-millionyear-old fossil exhibit that opened on May 28 and runs until September 11.

The 42,000-pound exhibit, which is owned by The Field Museum in Chicago, traveled more than 3,700 miles from Nova Scotia, requiring eight days, three trucks, and the expertise of the Canadian branch of the German logistics company DB Schenker. The original Tyrannosaurus rex was uncovered in South Dakota in 1990 by paleontologist Sue Hendrickson and later purchased at auction for $8.4 million. Since 2000, the replicated skeleton of “Sue” has traveled to 70 different locations around the world.

“Dinosaurs are one of those gateways to natural history,” said Swetland, whose team is transforming

hen Dr. Mark Silverberg was readying his family for their trip to Fiji, they had no idea how quickly plans would change. Unlike most vacations, the Santa Barbara–based ophthalmologist was taking his family on a medical expedition to the island of Vanua Levu. He’d volunteered for SEE International in the Santa Barbara area for 15 years, but this would be his first international expedition for the organization, which is based in Goleta but works on eyes around the world.

After about 20 hours of traveling, the Silverbergs began unpacking their luggage: eyedrops, an autorefractor, sutures, a variety of surgical instruments, and a big bag of lollipops for kids. Silverberg specializes in pediatric ophthalmology, the intricate and sometimes dangerous art of restoring sight to children stricken with blindness. He’d come prepared to operate on ailments such as strabismus (crossed eyes) and pterygium (a membrane that grows over the eye) but was ready to treat any other issues that came his way. Although the clinic in Fiji is staffed with medical professionals, they assumed Silverberg was bringing “his team” of trained professionals. But unbeknownst to his family, they were to become his team.

“This was like a spring break gone right,” explained Silverberg.“Originally we had planned for the family to do some volunteer work at the school, but they ended up working with me in the clinic.” As Silverberg screened patients, his wife, Sarice, kept records and dilated patients’ eyes. The kids helped with the intake forms, asking patients why they had come to see the doctor. They also manned the eye charts, pointing and asking patients, “What letter is this?” The majority of patrons spoke some English, but sometimes the kids relied on the clinic’s nurses for translation.

The clinic put out the word across the island about the American doctor, so patients walked, drove, took boats, and spent hours on the bus to be seen. There was such a large turnout that some people had to be turned away and ride the bus home, only to happily return the next morning.

“I wasn’t clicking on a computer and filling out insurance forms or any of the things that are so commonplace in today’s medicine,” explained Silverberg, who’s volunteered for SEE International for 15 years.“This was a blissful return as to why I entered medicine in the first place. I was able to do hands-on and very essential care and help people.”

Maxed Out:

SATURDAY, JUNE 4 IN SANTA BARBARA

Is system RIgged AgAInst WoRkIng moms?

I

have an ugly secret: For 18 years, I’ve felt like a fraud both at home and at work.

From the moment I became pregnant with my first child, who graduates high school next week, I’ve had the unshakable sensation that I’m faking big chunks of my life, playing the part of a competent and confident mother and professional—but in fact always shortchanging someone their due: arriving late to work after delivering a forgotten lunchbox to school, darting out of a too-long meeting to arrive at the school awards ceremony 30 seconds after they call my kid’s name, emailing with the college counselor when I’m supposed to be watching that IT training, or grinning robotically through my son’s trumpet-lesson story at the dinner table when my mind is on that proposal I need to finish by morning.

I off-loaded some of this guilt during a recent conversation with Katrina Alcorn, a working mother of three and the author of Maxed Out: American Moms on the Brink. My confession didn’t surprise her.

“We’re expected to do our jobs as if we don’t have children—and then raise our children as if we don’t have jobs,” she said. “If you think about the model of the ideal mother, it’s the person who sacrifices everything for her child. The ideal worker is someone who can drop everything and go on a business trip at a moment’s notice and who can stay late — not leave at 5 to pick up kids. So if you’re trying to be both, then you are faking it.”

She oughta know.

Alcorn was livin’ the Bay Area dream a few years back: reliable spouse, healthy kids, and a great job in a successful tech company. But as her famemail: starshine@roshell.com ily and career simultaneously grew, she began having trouble managing all of the demands: juggling day care and demanding clients, sick kids and business trips. Somewhere between being walked in on while pumping breast milk at work and receiving a company-wide email from a male employee who was grossed out by her “bodily fluids” being in the office fridge, well, Alcorn lost her shizz.

She began to have panic attacks and was plagued by increasing anxiety and depression over her inability to cope with the super-awesome family-plus-career bounty that we’re supposed to be so grateful for. After suffering a nervous breakdown while driving to Target to buy diapers, she quit her job and had to spend a year decompressing and living on savings — just to remember what contentment feels like.

When she recovered, she wrote a book with the goal of telling overwhelmed working moms three things: You’re not alone. It’s not your fault. And it doesn’t have to be this way.

“We’ve made great strides to where women can achieve great things in the workplace,” she says,“but we make it so impossible to be working and raising kids. As a society, we place no value in the act of caregiving.”

And after too many years of blaming herself for not being organized enough, focused enough, determined enough to make the best of her “dream life,” Alcorn has turned her attention to what the workplace can do to better support working parents. She’ll share some of these ideas at a free panel discussion hosted by First 5 Santa Barbara County from 5:30-8 p.m. Monday, June 6, at First Presbyterian Church (child care provided; RSVP at bit.ly/First5WorkingMoms).

What she can’t abide is anyone who screams “entitlement!” at modern women who dare to dream of a career, a family—and a little frickin’ sanity. “Our economics have evolved to the point where we have to have two working parents,” she says.“And the phrase ‘having it all’ isn’t asking to eat bonbons proffered by servants. It was meant to describe people who have children and work to support their children.

“Where’s the selfishness in that?”

Game of tHe Week

MORE CHAMPIONS

The new members of the Court of Champions are as follows: Cliff Lambert, who played hoops at S.B. High and UCSB in the 1960s and gave back to the community as the city’s director of youth activities. He was an Independent Local Hero in 1996. Jeff Azain, the third player of the San Marcos Runnin’ Royals of 1980-81 to be honored, a longtime assistant coach at Westmont College. CIF championship coaches Dave Bregante (with his alma mater Santa Barbara High in 2016) and Eric Burkhardt (with the Dos Pueblos Chargers in 1990). Jo Ann Reck, who coached the Santa Ynez High girls for 30 years, winning three CIF titles. Kristi Rohr-Taylor, one of Reck’s Santa Ynez standouts who is the second leading all-time scorer at UCSB. Conner Henry, builder of an enormous résumé. After graduating from UCSB in 1986, he played for four teams in the NBA, four in the CBA, three in Italy, two in Spain, two in Greece, and one in France. He has been a coach for six teams, including head coach of the Fort Wayne Mad Ants when they won the 2014 NBA D-League title, and currently is an assistant with the Orlando Magic. Shantay Legans, an outstanding point guard at Dos Pueblos High who started at Cal and Fresno State and is now associate head coach at Eastern Washington University. Erin (Buescher) Perperoglou, the Big West Player of the Year all three years she played at UCSB while inspiring young girls to wear braids like hers. She played seven years in the WNBA, married Greek professional star Stratos Perperoglou, and is now residing with him and their three children in Barcelona, his current team. Jerry Harwin, Phil Womble, and John Zant.

These old guys never played basketball, but Santa Barbara’s teams had no greater fans than Harwin, who was in the crowd at the Thunderdome during the last of his 100 years, or Womble, the namesake of UCSB’s Phil Womble Hall of Champions. I was just privileged to know and sometimes write about all the aforementioned players and coaches.

After last year’s Court of Champions dinner went into multiple overtimes because of interminable speeches, it has been assured that things will progress more swiftly this Sunday. It will start at 6 p.m. at the Cabrillo Pavilion Arts Center. Information: santabarbarabasketball.com, 969-7542.

I could have overreacted. It might have gotten ugly.

It made me realize how you can get trapped in the underbelly.”

Three months later, when the Rodney King beating occurred, Wilkes decided not to pursue a complaint against the LAPD over his harassment. He makes no pretense that he’s led a perfect life —“I’ve stumbled and failed”— but I’m glad that on that night when confronted by the police he stayed, as much as possible, smooth as silk.

THREE-TIMERS: For the third time in the last four years, UCSB is bound for the NCAA baseball tournament.

The Gauchos (37-18-1) are seeded No. 2 in the Nashville Regional. They will play No. 3 Washington (32-21) on Friday, while Xavier (30-28) will play Vanderbilt (43-17), the host team. Vandy won the College World Series championship n in 2014 and was runner-up to Virginia last year.

Pairing Stout with Sword Swallowers

n the ever-challenging quest to make a beer festival more interesting than just chasing the next sip, Peter Melton believes he’s hit on a winning idea.“Circus freaks meet craft beer,” he says, “together at last!”

Yes, on June 11 Chase Palm Park plays host to the Craft Brew Circus, in which a coterie of fringe-act performers, from sword swallowers and contortionists to fire eaters and skin stretchers, will prance around as a few dozen breweries pour their latest ales. Melton plays ringleader, announcing acts through his megaphone, gathering folks around for the quick show, and then moving around the park to do it again.

“There’s something about being up close to these circus sideshow people that is just really powerful,” said Melton, who’s made a career of putting on food-and-

drink and extreme sporting events from Dana Point to Santa Cruz. “The contortionist blows my mind. You’ve seen it on TV, but to see one three feet away is just amazing.” The first go at this in San Diego went quite well recently. “It just adds a different kind of camaraderie to the attendees,” he explained. “They’re experiencing it together.”

Indeed, for a world full of stale beer and wine events, this one does actually sounds quite unique. Promised Melton,“We’re just gonna have some silly fun.”

BIKE FOR BUCKS: Chef James Siao (front row, third from right) and other riders stopped at The Lark in Santa Barbara in 2015 as part of the Chefs Cycle fundraiser.

hef James Siao of Finch & Fork is gearing up for his second Chefs Cycle, where he’ll ride alongside other culinary greats to raise awareness and funds for No Kid Hungry. The 300-mile ride down the coast of California will start in Carmel on June 27 and end in Santa Barbara on June 29.

Chefs Cycle is a fundraising endurance event featuring award-winning chefs fighting hunger outside the kitchen. In an effort to put an end to childhood hunger, riders are being asked to raise money for their ride. The community can get involved and participate in Chef Siao’s ride by ordering one of the special dishes and cocktails on Finch & Fork’s menu. A portion of the proceeds from these designated dishes will go toward Chef Siao’s $7,500 goal. See tinyurl.com/ teamsiao.

Folks can also visit Outpost restaurant in Goleta, where General Manager Joseph Adamczak is riding for the Kimpton Team. Outpost will also be offering special dishes and donating a portion of the proceeds to team Kimpton’s fundraising page at tinyurl.com/kimptonteam.

Cherry ClaFoUTi During a recent foggy Saturday farmers’ market, something was up. The usual friendly faces of shoppers were preoccupied and on a mission. A farmer struggled to put up his sign and then just tossed it into his pickup while a crowd surrounded his stand. I got closer to investigate and then saw why: beautiful baskets filled with deep red cherries.

Cherry season, which runs from May to July, is a reminder that school is almost out for summer. Baking and cooking with them is a delight, but sometimes just having a huge bowl in your kitchen is the perfect way to celebrate. Just make sure you get to the market early. “I’ll take four baskets,”a customer said urgently that morning, as if they were the last baskets on earth.

One of my favorite recipes is cherry clafouti. Don’t be swayed by the fancy French name—this dessert is so simple and will wow your friends and family!

The WriTe! e! STuff Do you feel the Santa Ynez Valley as a place influences your writing? I don’t think

f someone is going to advise you on how to improve your writing, Santa Ynez’s Gerald DiPego is more than equipped for the job. The author of new e-book Write! brings 45 years of screenwriting and creative writing experience to the table; his most recent work, Words and Pictures, was a widely praised film starring Juliette Binoche and Clive Owen. DiPego will appear as part of the S.B. Writers Conference speaker series with his talk Ten Writing Tips from the Trenches. I spoke with DiPego about his new book, screenwriting, and emotional realism.

What lessons or takeaways do you hope readers glean from your work? It comes

Gerald DiPego of teaching all these years, and I knew I had something that did you develop that skill? It’s because of a I could transmit, that I had deep interest in people, you know, a kind of learned by doing, so I think it was my taking a step back from the film business and fascination about the human condition. It opening up more of my life and my time, doesn’t mean realism as opposed to fantasy which made a good space for the book. — in simple words, it’s about making it feel Also, my family and I were kicking things real. Because how many times do we read a around, saying, let’s do some e-books on the book or watch a film, and it may be enterInternet, and for me, there’s only one thing taining us, but we don’t feel we can go in any that will do.

I thought. I’m used to writing fiction, and that’s probably a slightly different part of the brain, so I had to be more organized and technical, and even though it’s a very conversational book, I had to think back a lot on things that succeeded and things that didn’t; it took a lot of soul searching and memory.

so. I’ve lived quite a few places, and I think there’s just such a world inside my head. Except, as I age, the distant past becomes more and more clear and accessible to me. A lot of the things I’ve written in the last 10 years have to do with the world I grew up in around Round Lake, Illinois.

gerald Dipego Offers Writing Tips at S.B. Writers Conference

As a screenwriter, how do you balance the entertainment needs of studio executives but preserve your voice and creativity?

That’s one of the biggest challenges for a screenwriter. You have to be part debate captain and part attorney, and you go into those rooms, and you know you can lose the argument because they’re the ones who bought your property. You’ve gotta convince them, and you’ve gotta do it carefully, you’ve gotta understand what they’re going for.

A MAn of GeniuS The grinning skull crowned with a laurel wreath on the cover of author Lynn Rosen’s newly published book, A Man of Genius, announces that this is no biography. Rather, it’s the fictional story of a man whose fame is hollow and of the women who are in his thrall. Not so much a murder mystery, though there may be a crime there, A Man of Genius, which is Rosen’s first book at age 84, tackles the question of whether or not morality should be set aside and geniuses be given a pass. Also central to the plot is the query of why women attach themselves to men of intellectual brilliance and refuse to let go, no matter how despicably they are treated. A Man of Genius is a philosophical and ethical quest for answers. Readers will want to see what happens to these exceptional characters and how — or if — the questions are answered.

— Carol Douglass

down to that human truth that I think it so precious, and I try so hard to embed that in whatever I do. You can teach these overarching themes — if you’re writing a scene about a woman being chased down a dark street by a man, now I want you to close your eyes and be that woman, feel the fear and the steps hitting the sidewalk and glancing over your shoulder, then be the man chasing her and do the same thing— thing get inside the person and feel it and challenge yourself to find all the humanity you can.

If you could say anything to your younger self as a writer, what would it be? I wonder.

I kind of wish I could go back to that kid and say, “Hey, read this book, kid.”

—Richie DeMaria

einSTürzende neubAuTen LamenT

Taking as its premise the idea that World War I never truly ended and that all subsequent 20th- and 21stcentury wars can be traced back to that first industrialized global war, Einstürzende Neubauten (EN) conceived Lament in 2014 as an ironic commemoration of “the war to end all wars.” “Kriegsmaschinerie” features EN’s trademark industrial clanging sounds, evoking the mass production of weapons, while “Hymnen” is an absurdist send-up of various national anthems mixed as one polyglot jingoistic song in a Dadaist manner. On “Der 1. Weltkrieg,” a robotic Danse Macabre drumbeat seems to signify soldiers marching off to dispense — or be dispatched by — death. With Memorial Day last Monday, this album brings home the eviscerating effect of the eternal return of the spirit of war, which, lamentably, haunts us all.

Dave Wakeling

the english beat’s

dave wakeling

Dave Wakeling, lead singer of The English Beat, is in speech as he is in music: thoughtful, smart, and ahead of his time.

During our phone interview, the conversation meandered from music to mall culture, American politics to the ways different societies age.

Ever since breaking onto the ska and punk scenes with their distinctive 2 Tone sound in the 1980s, The English Beat has made no strict separation between the personal and the political, the ideological and the material. Pairing incisive lyrics with irresistibly catchy melodies, the band stood out as one of the more intelligent acts, tackling issues of race, gender, and labor politics through the power of skapunk revivalism.

Wakeling said it was the proliferation of car manufacturers in the English Midlands that inspired the 2 Tone genre, which shattered color barriers. “It started in the Midlands because prejudice was broken down on the factory floor,” he said. “After a few years, you realize the guy next to you on the factory track has a lot more in common with you than differences.”

The band’s newest, Here We Go Love, will be their first in decades when it sees a summer release. Maturity has brought with it a “bluntness” to the new lyrics, and of course, “the growing amount of tragedy you see in your second half starts to temper” work both new and old, Wakeling said. But rather than “relive the glory days of youth,” Wakeling is growing old gracefully and “coming to celebrate how well they have done since they loved the record in college.”

Unlike other musicians who revive their earlier careers, he’s showing no longing for the past. He keeps an open mind toward what may come, and tries not to believe too firmly in their former stadium days. “Sometimes you carry too much knowledge from the past and not enough flexibility to deal with the future,” he said. With this in mind, his English Beat, most likely, will go on for years to come.

The English Beat plays SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.) on Saturday, June 4, at 9:30 p.m.

Call 962-7776 or visit sohosb.com.

IRaTIon heaTs UP the RoUnd-UP

IT’S ALL GOOD: Iration headlines KJEE’s rock rodeo, which also includes bands Wolfmother, Fitz and the Tantrums, and Fmlybnd. Pictured from left are the hometown-by-way-of-Hawai‘i band’s Cayson Peterson, Adam Taylor, Joseph Dickens, and Micah Pueschel.

T

his year’s KJEE Summer Round-Up will be a hot one, as headliners Iration bring their newly revitalized and fiery reggae-rock sound to the top slot of this annual summer tradition. Backed by Fitz and the Tantrums, Wolfmother, The Strumbellas, and Fmlybnd, this will not be the first time the S.B.-by-way-ofHawai‘i band joins KJEE’s rock rodeo, but they’ve never been this big before — in band size and in appreciation alike — and their music has never been hotter.

Their latest album, Hotting Up, is their most brazenly hybridized strain of good-vibes music yet, with up-tempo rock beats bumping behind dubby guitar strokes.“We wanted to make something that wasn’t just for people that are quoteunquote ‘reggae listeners.’ We wanted something for people that are just music fans,” said guitarist/vocalist Micah Pueschel, adding that the new songs were written with the explicit purpose of injecting more energy into their live shows.“We really wanted to do something that lifted and helped add to the whole catalog as far as shows go, something that just offered a different feel than the songs we’ve previously done.”

The fresh sound is also an expression of the band’s newly increased lineup, with six members adding different layers to

the sound. Their ever-changing array over the years has made Pueschel appreciate how “being in a band is a fragile thing,” and he credits their longevity to their ability to work as a team.

Coming from the 808 state of Hawai‘i, Pueschel said the group gravitated to the small-town feel and abundant outdoor opportunities of the 805. Though they nowadays find themselves a world away from their origins as an I.V. party band, Pueschel said they’ve never forgotten their local roots — it’s what keeps them grounded.

“We are so grateful to have what we have, and we worked it from the bottom to get where we are,” he said.“What’s important is understanding the work and the time and energy we put into building something. We weren’t given anything. It wasn’t any sort of overnight thing; we’re just in touch with where we’re from and how we got here.”

PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND Traveling worldwide, Preservation Hall Jazz Band is playing hotter and harder than ever as they continue to protect, preserve, and perpetuate New Orleans Jazz.

by Richie DeMaria BIG BANGERS: When I spoke with Aluna Francis, one half of the widely adored British electronic duo AlunaGeorge, she was spending her day off at the Space Center Houston, contemplating shuttle mechanisms and the idea of seeing the universe’s past through a powerful telescope. Though Francis doesn’t feel too inclined to venture into the stars any time soon —“I get detached from reality really easily, so I would get space crazy really easily,” she said—somehow galactic themes have recently been gravitating toward her in recent days. “I woke up on the tour bus the other day, and I was dreaming about having a conversation with the galaxy. That day I found galaxy-print underwear, and then in the evening we did a show in Tampa and a man outside was making art. He gave me a picture of … what do you know? … a galaxy.”

She couldn’t say what it all meant, but perhaps it’s a reflection of AlunaGeorge’s rapidly expanding galaxy of admirers and recognition. The year 2016 sees the duo of Francis and producer George Reid continuing to blow up with hits such as “I’m In Control (ft. Popcaan)” and “I Remember,” and this fall they will be opening for art-pop wonder woman Sia on her Nostalgic for the Present Tour with their other tour mate, Miguel. Some of their songs have become party-playlist staples — last year, DJ Snake’s remix of “You Know You Like It” became one of the most streamed songs of all time. With remixes and collaborations continuing to expand their sphere of influence, they’ve become one of the hottest electronic acts of the last few years. Tonight’s June 2 show with Kiiara at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club, a RedEye five-year anniversary event, sold out weeks in advance.

Their universe didn’t just expand in one big bang, however. This widespread acclaim is the result of many years’ hard work and focused dedication, Francis said. It’s also been one of delayed gratification—last year’s monstrously huge remix by DJ Snake was of a song several years old.“It’s a progression that feels really good and in some ways natural—not to say that we expect these things but to say that we’ve worked very, very hard. We’ve taken it one step at a time to get further and further, and it feels really, really good, like something we’re very much able to embrace,” she said.

Francis and Reid share an intuitive nonverbal connection that allows them to work together without having to overexplain, and the two adapt well to one another’s aesthetics. Having met after Reid remixed one of Francis’s songs with her other band, My Toys Like Me, the two continue to blend Francis’s indie songwriter abilities and distinctly enchanting voice with Reid’s glitch-hop gifts.

What’s more, they share an appreciation for daringly different pop music.

Having a “desire to talk about something slightly off-center to the pop-genre conversation,” and Reid adding angular influences from his math-rock background, the two aim to make music that swaps pop convention for individualized invention.“What we are trying to do with each other is create something from that very kind of niche world to communicate in an honest and simple way without being commercial. We’re very much down with experimentation,” she said.

With chopped-up vocals jaggedly decorating their catchy, radio-ready melodies and with the subterranean, deeply bass-y buzz characteristic of London electronic music, AlunaGeorge’s music has an appreciatively artful design. Part shimmering synths, part emotive and soulful vocals, they’re in line with other electronic vocal producers like collaborator Flume or the U.K.’s Disclosure.

This fall, the duo will release their next full-length, I Remember, which should no doubt ensure an even wider expansion of their cultural cosmos.

For those lucky enough to have scored a ticket to the hot event, enjoy yourn selves, as if you needed any encouragement. You know you’ll like it.

However, it is now possible to treat almost all men with E.D! E.D. undermines a man’s sexual confidence—but successful treatment can restore it!

Many E.D. treatments are covered by most insurance and prescription plans.

SBIFF LauncheS RIvIeRa ShowcaSeS wIth Weiner

“MESMERIZING.

The best documentary about a political campaign ever made.”

- Indiewire

Controversial Congressmember Is Exposed in Documentary

W

hile Santa Barbara cinephiles have long had access to a healthy selection of mainstream independent fare, screenings of smaller films like Weiner, winner of the U.S. Documentary Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, have been harder to catch. “People were driving to L.A. to see [certain] movies,” said Roger Durling, the creative director of the Santa Barbara RACY: Anthony Weiner’s mayoral campaign is the subject of Weiner, International Film Festival. With SBIFF’s which kicks off SBIFF’s Riviera showcase series.

The Showcase Film Series, which kicks off its run at the Riviera Theatre on Sunday, June 5, Durling hopes to give filmgoers a chance to see Anthony Weiner is a man haunted by cameras. It was indie films without needing to brave Los Angeles traf- a camera that caught him at his professional best — as fic. “[We wanted to] be able to show film-festival-type a fist-shaking, fired-up liberal shouting in Congress about the plight of the middle class. And it was a camera fare that’s harder to see at the local multiplex.”

Prior to signing a lease that granted SBIFF control — his own — that rendered the congressmember with of the Riviera Theatre for the next 30 years, The Show- the funny name a punch line for the pun maestros at case screened independent and foreign films every the New York Post. “I guess the punch line is true about Wednesday at the Plaza de Oro Theatre. While the me,” says Weiner. “I did the things. But I did a lot of series has been successful since its inception two years other things, too.” ago, Durling felt that it would benefit from offering Weiner provides a glimpse into those other things, more screenings.“I heard from a lot of people that they namely his 2013 bid to be the Mayor of New York. We wanted to see the films, but Wednesday didn’t work for see an ebullient Anthony running about in colorful pants as he campaigns at a Gay Pride parade. He kisses them,” said Durling.

Starting in June with Weiner, filmgoers will have a babies and schmoozes with voters. When he rides the chance to catch Showcase films on Sundays, Mondays, subway, other passengers hold up papers emblazoned and Tuesdays, in addition to the standard Wednesday with positive headlines regarding Weiner’s campaign.

He’s coming back, and the film does its due diligence screenings.

There is a point in Weiner, Elyse Steinberg and Josh explaining why voters were game to give the fallen Kriegman’s shockingly intimate documentary, in which politician that second chance. the former congressmember, who resigned in 2011 after The film truly shines, however, when it covers posting a link on his Twitter account to naked pictures Weiner’s second sexting scandal that broke out in the of himself, sits in front of his computer watching him- midst of the N.Y. mayoral race. As the film plumbs the self berate MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell. He asks his controlled chaos that is a political campaign in crisis wife, Huma Abedin, to watch. When she declines and mode, its exploration of how public opinion can rock a leaves the room, Weiner remains transfixed, glued to the political marriage seems particularly timely as America screen, watching his own footage with as much surprise follows another political race beset by scandal. as the rest of America.

O The Jungle Book

NOW SHOWiNG Alice Through the Looking Glass (113 mins., PG) You can’t argue that the visual production is impressive, negotiating between beautiful and fussy, seemingly shot in a heightened-perception version of Disneyland’s Main Street when it isn’t gallivanting around the Ocean of Time or the mechanical center of the universe.

And it’s only occasionally boring: The performances given by Mia Wasikowska and Sacha Baron Cohen are almost poignant at times. But the fact remains that this is an attempt to give a backstory or explain what is essentially an absurdist text, and, therefore, doomed to failure.

(DJP) Fairview (2D and 3D)/ Metro 4 (2D and 3D)

The Angry Birds Movie (97 mins., PG) You will get angry if you walk into this movie believing the advertisements that claim this is the next Lego Movie.

Nothing like. The first half is a poorly orchestrated setup that takes angerissues-challenged Red from outcast to hero fighting the invasion of Bird Island by green-egg-stealing pigs. But even the characterizations seem slapdash — birds keep shifting from imbecilic to genius with hardly any notification from the script writers to the audience. The second half is slapstick, and your formerly bored kids will come alive to cheer the critters better known from the world of smartphone game playing. They, and we, should have stayed there. (DJP) Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)

Captain America: Civil War (146 mins., PG-13)

Certainly the most complicated of the Marvel chronicles, this movie almost sinks in the first half under the turgid load of “issues,” and mostly that old Übermensch versus the Establishment stuff that defines almost all Marvel comic storylines. Then about halfway through the film, Tony Stark goes to

(105 mins.; PG)

Movies always ought to be this good, but it’s been such a long drought that this one seems like a miracle. The special effects astound; they are so good you take them for granted. But that’s not the best part. Disney’s newest version of The Jungle Book has a grand narrative sweep that never lets us down. It’s thrilling, sad, scary, funny, and finally intelligent enough to make the simple Promethean quest feel profound. Great celebrity voices such as Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, and Christopher Walken intrude like unexpected delights, camping up the fun. (DJP) Camino Real (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)

O The Lobster

(118 mins., R)

In a strange way, The Lobster bears distant kin resemblance to blockbuster franchises of The Hunger Games ilk, of dystopian sci-fi zones where couplings face do-or-die death games in dark, perilous woods. That’s where the comparison ends: This weirdly grim, bizarrely fun, grisly film from Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos channels absurdists Kafka and Ionesco in a tale that finds paunchy, deadpan Colin Farrell braving a sadistic matchmaking/ animal-transformation scheme, and true love prospects with Rachel Weisz.

Sometimes wickedly funny, sometimes just plain wicked, The Lobster gives new meaning to such old adages as “ideal love is hard to find” and “love is blind.”

And blinding. (JW) Paseo Nuevo Love & Friendship (92 mins., PG) In this film adaptation of Jane Austen’s novella Lady Susan, Kate Beckinsale stars as a widow in the 1790s who tries to find a new husband for herself and one for her debutante daughter, Frederica.

Paseo Nuevo The Man Who Knew Infinity (108 mins., PG-13)

Jeremy Irons and Dev Patel star as teacher and student in this film (based on the book of the same name by Rob-

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (92 mins., R)

This sequel to the raunchy, hilarious film finds Mac (Seth Rogen) and Kelly (Rose Byrne) once again at war with a wild neighbor— neighbor this time it’s a sorority whose sisters behave even more debauchedly than the duo’s former frat nemesis. The couple must call on former foe Teddy (Zac Efron) to help eject their new neighbors.

(116 mins., R)

Writer/director Shane Black has done more for the tough-guy movie than anybody since John Ford. Simultaneously full of testosterone and self-depredation, The Nice Guys is a lot like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Last Action Hero, yet this preposterous story wound around porn films and the automobile’s role in poisoning our atmosphere is ridiculously beautiful, too. Russell Crowe, a professional thug, teams up with Ryan Gosling, an alcoholic private-eye screw-up, in a cherchez la femme that takes us on a choice violent tour of decadent Los Angeles circa 1977. It’s hilarious and 100 percent sentimentality free. (DJP)

While Clooney and Roberts are predictably capable and fun to watch, director Jodie Foster’s take on the monstrous greed of Wall Street power players feels a bit silly and disjointed at times.

X-Men: Apocalypse (144 mins., PG-13)

It’s getting dicey for the Marvel folk.

Since Guardians of the Galaxy, they have clearly been trying too hard to transcend the superhero romp factors. This year’s Captain America: Civil War had brilliant moments wrapped in cinematic murky confusion, and X-Men: Apocalypse is sadly the opposite. Clear, but too big and long, the epic battle is ultimately forgettable. Enjoy the 1980s references, the Wolverine cameo, and Evan Peters’s Quicksilver, but there isn’t much more to take home with you. (DJP)

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of june 2 ARIES

CANCER

LIBRA

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): The voices in our heads are our constant companions. They fill our inner sanctuary with streams of manic commentary. Often we’re not fully cognizant of the bedlam, since the outer world dominates our focus. But as soon as we close our eyes and turn our attention inward, we’re immersed in the jabbering babble. That’s the bad news, Aries. Now here’s the good news. In the coming weeks, you will have far more power than usual to ignore, dodge, or even tamp down the jabbering babble. As a result, you may get a chance to spend unprecedented amounts of quality time with the still, small voice at your core — the wise guide that is often drowned out by all the noise.

(June 21-July 22): According to many sources on the Internet, “werifesteria” is an obscure word from Old English. But my research suggests it was in fact dreamed up within the last few years by a playful hoaxster. Regardless of its origins, I think it’s an apt prescription to fix what’s bugging you. Here’s the definition: “to wander longingly through the forest in search of mystery and adventure.” If you are not currently seeking out at least a metaphorical version of that state, I think you should be. Now is an excellent time to reap the catalytic benefits of being willingly lost in a wild, idyllic, relaxing setting.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “My mother gave birth to me once, yeah yeah yeah,” writes author Sara Levine. “But I’ve redone myself a million times.” I’m sure she is not demeaning her mom’s hard work but rather celebrating her own. When’s the last time you gave birth to a fresh version of yourself? From where I stand, it looks like the next 12-15 months will be one of those fertile phases of reinvention. And right now is an excellent time to get a lightning-flash glimpse of what the New You might look like.

TAURUS

(July 23-Aug. 22): I’m debating about which of your astrological houses will be your featured hotspot in the coming days. I’m guessing it will come down to two options: your House of Valid Greed and your House of Obligatory Sharing. The House of Valid Greed has a good chance to predominate, with its lush feasts and its expansive moods. But the House of Obligatory Sharing has an austere beauty that makes it a strong possibility, as well. Now here’s the trick ending, Leo: I’d like to see if you can emphasize both houses equally; I hope you’ll try to inhabit them both at the same time.

Together they will grant you a power that neither could bestow alone.

(Apr. 20-May 20): We are inclined to believe that the best way to see the whole picture or the complete story is from above. The eagle that soars overhead can survey a vast terrain in one long gaze. The mountaintop perspective affords a sweeping look at a vast landscape.

But sometimes this perspective isn’t perfectly useful.

What we most need to see may be right next to us, or nearby, and it’s only visible if our vision is narrowly focused. Here’s how poet Charles Bernstein expresses it: “What’s missing from the bird’s eye view is plain to see on the ground.” Use this clue in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I foresee fertile chaos in your immediate future, Gemini. I predict lucky accidents and smoldering lucidity and disciplined spontaneity.

Do you catch the spirit of what I’m suggesting? Your experiences will not be describable by tidy theories.

Your intentions will not fit into neat categories. You will be a vivid embodiment of sweet paradoxes and crazy wisdom and confusing clarity. Simple souls may try to tone you down, but I hope you will evade their pressure as you explore the elegant contradictions you encounter. Love your life exactly as it is! Methodical improvisations will be your specialty. Giving gifts that are both selfish and unselfish will be one of your best tricks. “Healing extremes” will be your code phrase of power.

must to ensure that you receive at least one gift that’s exactly right for you. Two gifts would be better; three sublime. Here’s another thought from Richardson: “Success repeats itself until it is a failure.” Don’t you dare illustrate that theory. Either instigate changes in the way you’ve been achieving success, or else initiate an entirely new way. Here’s one more tip from Richardson: “Those who demand consideration for their sacrifices were making investments, not sacrifices.”

Don’t you dare be guilty of that sin. Make sacrifices, not investments. If you do, your sacrifices will ultimately turn out to be good investments.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Author Rebecca Solnit offers some tough advice that I think you could use.“Pain serves a purpose,” she says.“Without it you are in danger. What you cannot feel you cannot take care of.” With that in mind, Scorpio, I urge you to take full advantage of the suffering you’re experiencing. Treat it as a gift that will motivate you to transform the situation that’s causing you to hurt. Honor it as a blessing you can use to rise above the mediocre or abusive circumstances you have been tolerating.

LEO

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Life will invite you to explore the archetype of the Ethical Interloper in the coming days.

The archetype of the Helpful Transgressor may tempt you, as well, and even the Congenial Meddler or the Compassionate Trickster might look appealing. I urge you to consider experimenting with all of these. It will probably be both fun and productive to break taboos in friendly ways. You could reconnoiter forbidden areas without freaking anyone out or causing a troublesome ruckus. If you’re sufficiently polite and kind in expressing your subversive intentions, you might leave a trail of good deeds in your wake.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Aphorist James Guida contemplates the good results that can come from not imposing expectations on the raw reality that’s on its way. “Not to count chickens before they’re hatched,” he muses, “or eggs before they’re laid, chickens who might possibly lay eggs, birds who from afar might be confused with chickens.” I recommend this strategy for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Experiment with the pleasure of being wide open to surprises. Cultivate a mood of welcoming one-of-a-kind people, things, and events. Be so empty you have ample room to accommodate an influx of new dispensations. As James Guida concludes: “Not to count or think of chickens.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Between now and July 25, there’s a chance you will reach the peak of a seemingly unclimbable mountain. You could win a privilege that neither you nor anyone else ever dreamed was within your reach. It’s possible you’ll achieve a milestone you’ve been secretly preparing for since childhood.

Think I’m exaggerating, Virgo? I’m not. You could break a record for the biggest or best or fastest, or you might finally sneak past an obstacle that has cast a shadow over your self-image for years. And even if none of these exact events comes to pass, the odds are excellent that you will accomplish another unlikely or monumental feat. Congratulations in advance!

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Your theme comes from the title of a poem by Fortesa Latifi: “I Am Still Learning How to Do the Easy Things.” During the next phase of your astrological cycle, I invite you to specialize in this study. You may imagine that you are already a master of the simple, obvious arts of life, but here’s the news: Few of us are. And the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to refine your practice. Here’s a good place to start: Eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired, and give love when you’re lonely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “No gift is ever exactly right for me,” mourns Capricorn poet James Richardson. Don’t you dare be like him in the coming days. Do whatever you
