Praying for Political Change Anti-Abortion Demonstrators Descend on Planned Parenthood

A

by Nick Welsh s political barnstorming events went, it was both energetic and peculiarly hamstrung. “We pray, we fast, and we vote pro-life,” declared David Bereit at a spirited right-to-life rally held Tuesday in front of Santa Barbara’s Planned Parenthood offices that drew about 75 enthusiastic supporters. It wasn’t exactly clear, however, who Bereit wanted people to vote for. And he wasn’t saying, either. He urged those attending, many carrying anti-abortion signs, to go to the polls and vote for the candidates supporting a prolife agenda. No political candidates were mentioned by name. The name most conspicuously not mentioned was that of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who in recent debates has been explicit and emphatic in his embrace of the pro-life platform. Trump said he would make abortion a litmus test for anyone he appointed to the Supreme Court, predicting the downfall of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that defined a woman’s right to choose as a matter of constitutional principle. In recent weeks, Trump’s candidacy has become a harder pill for many of the evangelical persuasion to swallow, given the release of the now infamous videotape in which Trump boasts of sexually assaulting women. When asked why Trump wasn’t mentioned, given his support of the anti-abortion agenda, Bereit stated, “Some people question that. He says he’s pro-life. I look at the action.” When pressed further, Bereit elaborated, “[Trump] says he’s pro-life, but he’s also said the exact opposite.” Despite such ambivalence about the top of the ticket, Bereit told those assembled that he is convinced this November’s election results

will mark a historic reversal when it comes to reproductive rights in the United States.“Your children will tell you they’re proud of what you did,” he said. Bereit, who runs an anti-abortion organization called 40 Days for Life, said he used the occasion of this year’s election—“even with all its toxicity”—to hit the road on a grueling 50-state, 128-city tour, departing from Washington, D.C., on September 28 and concluding November 6, two days before the election. In San Luis Obispo, Bereit said, he drew a crowd of 200. In Sacramento, he got 300. “The bad news is that California leads the way for abortions in the U.S.A.,” he said, stating 181,000 California pregnancies were terminated annually. “The good news is that California is leading the way for the pro-life movement.” Some of the crowd quietly sang “Ave Maria.” Others prayed. Two brothers, Dan and Mike Engler, brought along their lifesized cardboard cutout of Pope Francis, who, Bereit noted, had endorsed his campaign.“It’s not just an old white guy’s issue,” Mike Engler stressed. A woman protester displayed a range of fetus-sized dolls, asking passersby to pick them up and feel how much they weighed. Although Bereit said anti-abortion protesters understand their mission is to be faithful rather than successful, he also understood their need to see results. He said 12,000 lives had been saved since he undertook his mission nine years ago. The Engler brothers said that quiet prayerful protests turned away as many as 75 percent of women seeking abortions. Bereit pointedly noted that Planned Parenthood celebrated its 100th birthday the previous week.“That’s ironic,” he said,“when you consider Planned Parenthood has prevented

more birthdays than any other organization in history.” Planned Parenthood employees and administrators monitored the demonstration from their parking lot, having just returned from a “Save Lives” event hosted by Assemblymember Das Williams and the American Cancer Society in support of Proposition 56, the California ballot initiative to increase the taxes imposed on a carton of cigarettes. In a written response, Planned Parenthood spokesperson Julie Mickelberry characterized the rally as “harassment,” adding, “If opponents of safe and legal abortion truly cared about reducing unintended pregnancies, they would be working with Planned Parenthood to expand access to birth control and comprehensive sexuality education.” Also unmentioned Tuesday was any reference to the 24th Congressional District race, in which the Democratic candidate Salud Carbajal, a county supervisor, has described himself as “100 percent pro-choice.” Carbajal, a onetime Planned Parenthood boardmember, has touted the “giraffe” award he received from Planned Parenthood for “sticking his neck out.” By contrast, Carbajal’s Republican opponent, Justin Fareed, has been clench-jawed in recent debates about his positions on abortion, describing it as a “deeply personal” issue for which the federal government should have no role. When pressed about the role the federal government does, in fact, have, Fareed stated, “It is the law of the land.” On funding for Planned Parenthood — which Carbajal supports—Fareed stated some of the organization’s non-abortion health services were valuable, but he was nonspecific as to whether he’d support continued funding.

news Briefs LAW & DISORDER A county Air Support helicopter on patrol 10/23 spotted a panga boat around 11 a.m., abandoned on a beach a half mile south of Mariposa Reina. The 25-footer was found to have 18 fuel containers on board and 130 gallons of fuel, but no passengers, pilots, or contraband. A search of the area by Sheriff’s deputies, State Park personnel, Coast Guard, and investigators with Homeland Security was fruitless. The panga is now in the possession of Homeland Security. In the trial of Maribel S., a 15-year-old accused of killing her newborn son, juvenile court Judge Arthur Garcia rendered a guilty verdict on 10/21. The infant had been found dead at the girl’s home after Marian Medical Hospital alerted authorities to suspicions about a patient admitted on 1/17. The girl’s parents were unaware she was pregnant and that the baby had been killed, said prosecutor Jennifer Karapetian. District Attorney Joyce Dudley gave a reminder that the county conducts a Safely Surrendered Baby program, in which all county fire stations and hospitals will take in a child within three days of birth without question. Just before 10 a.m. on 10/22, a passerby near East Camino Cielo Road discovered the body of 29-year-old Sarah Hambarzumjan-Calhoun, who apparently killed herself with a gun. When Sheriff’s deputies showed up to the scene — near the shooting range called the Glass Factory — they found her body near a car. It is unknown if she left a note or how deputies determined it was suicide.

Obama Endorses Carbajal for Congress

I

n years past, President Barack Obama has been loath to involve himself in down-ticket races, but this year — as he prepares to depart from the White House and with the Republican Party in a Trump-instigated free fall—the president has endorsed Democratic Congressional candidate Salud Carbajal, now running for California’s 24th District against Republican Justin Fareed. In addition, Obama has reportedly endorsed another 59 congressional candidates, not to mention about 90 Democrats running for state house offices. Carbajal has served on a presidential task force on climate change and has briefly met Obama on several occasions. “I am incredibly honored to have Barack Obama’s support in this election,” stated Carbajal via a campaign press release. Also via press release, Obama stated of Carbajal, “Salud is a fighter for the Central Coast working families and will fight for a level playing field so that everyone has a shot at the American Dream.” The Fareed campaign has castigated Carbajal throughout his campaign as being an exemplar of status quo, inside-the-beltway Democratic machine politics. The endorsement by Obama, who now enjoys approval ratings of 57 percent, dovetails into this narrative. “Clearly, the insider machine is out in full force,” declared Fareed spokesperson Christiana Purves. “Nancy Pelosi and the national Democrats stated that it’s their priority to keep control of this seat, and they’ll stop at nothing. President Obama’s endorsement further proves that Carbajal is bought and paid for by insiders in Washington.” While the Obama administration and Lois Capps have enjoyed close and cordial relations in the past, the president never endorsed her in any of her campaigns. The race for the 24th has drawn big-buck donations and is among the most expensive congressional campaigns throughout California. To date, the Carbajal camp has raised $2.7 million and Fareed $2 million, and that doesn’t include the vast sums spent by independent expenditure committees and PACs on behalf of two candidates for whom their political differences have also become personal. At the end of a televised debate hosted by KSBY, both candidates were asked to state something they admired about their opponent. Carbajal said he was impressed by Fareed’s confidence in running for office, but added that when he was Fareed’s age, he had joined the U.S. Marines. Throughout the campaign, Carbajal has frequently suggested Fareed lacks any relevant life experience to go to Congress. Fareed—who vows to bring a “fresh” perspective to office, not the “stale” mind-set of career politicians like Carbajal—responded to the question regarding Carbajal’s positive attributes, stating,“Sounds like a whole lot of nonsense to — Nick Welsh me,” and “The answer is, no, I can’t.”

Genis Owes IRS Nearly $700K

I

t’s been an especially rough month for Darryl Genis, one of Santa Barbara County’s best known and most embattled attorneys. First, he pleaded guilty to multiple counts of tax fraud between the years 2005 and 2012, admitting that he shortchanged the IRS $679,958. Genis admitted that in some years he didn’t pay the full amount he owed for his law practice, and in other years he didn’t pay anything. Genis faces a maximum sentence of three years behind bars. Neither Genis nor his attorney returned calls for comment, but the terms of the plea deal allow them to argue for a more lenient sentence. Genis will be required to pay off his debt to the IRS, as well, and pay a fine. Genis was separately admonished by the State Bar of California for lying to a judge. During a break in a DUI trial in July 2014, Genis moved legal papers on prosecutor Justin Greene’s desk but did not admit as much when subsequently asked about it by Judge Brian Hill. Genis lied in court, charged Judge Hill, and last week the California State Bar issued a letter of admonition against Genis for his behavior. The State Bar concluded that he “falsely denied touching the prosecutor’s desk materials when Respondent knew the statement was false.” Genis, in pleadings to the State Bar court, denied the allegations. At the time, Genis told reporters he was upset that Greene objected excessively to almost every question Genis posed to witnesses, and he mocked Greene for keeping a cheat sheet of the legal justifications needed to wage such objections. Genis explained he rearranged the papers — Nick Welsh on Greene’s desk so Greene couldn’t find the cheat sheet.

Threatened Chumash Treasure Highlights Housing Debate by Tyler Hayden

Freddy Pachon (pictured), a former vice president of risk management for Select Staffing, was sentenced 10/24 to eight years, eight months in prison for embezzling more than $700,000 from the Santa Barbara–based temp agency. According to prosecutors, Pachon funneled money from reimbursement checks related to workers’ compensation claims into a personal account he created under the fictitious entity “Select Consulting Services.” He reportedly spent the stolen funds on a lavish home and backyard renovations.

According to state and county records, Knapp and others purchased the mobile home park last month from Don Donaldson for $5.8 million, eliciting fears among tenants that the new owners would develop the affordable trailer park, where about 50 units go for $1,000 a month. A spokesperson for the newly created Tropical Gardens Santa Barbara LLC said the owners are all local and do not intend to make immediate changes.

As the Republican Party shifted to the right, Secord — an outspokenly pro-choice obgyn — decidedly did not shift with them. He ran twice for county supervisor, unsuccessfully, and he served as an alternate on the Coastal Commission. Pragmatic rather than doctrinaire, Secord was more interested in making government work efficiently than not at all.

Dems Expand Edge over GOP in County n the last two months, the number of registered voters in Santa Barbara County jumped by about 16,000, bringing the total to 222,820, the highest in county history. Voter forms continue to trickle in, but as of press time, Democrats have a 15 percent edge over Republicans, 9 percent higher than in 2004. Since 2012, the county’s Democrats increased by nearly 11,000, whereas Republicans dropped by 1,500. Some of that Republican drop-off was absorbed in the cOUNt ME IN: first-year UCSB student Woodrow Davidson number of decline-to-state voters, (right) helps Vanessa Alvarez register to vote. which has significantly increased across the nation. In fact, there are 13,500 more this year than there were in 2008. Notable this year is that more state Democratic Party resources are being poured into North County, in part to register Latinos, most of whom are unlikely to support Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, given his immigration proposals. For the first time in recent memory, said Cory Bantilan, chief staffer to 5th District Supervisor Steve Lavagnino, the race for the 35th Assembly District, reliably Republican in the past, is a closely contested one between Democrat Dawn Ortiz-Legg and Republican Jordan Cunningham. The district spans Santa Maria, Lompoc, Guadalupe, and all of San Luis Obispo County. Katcho Achadjian has represented it since 2010, but statewide Democratic Party efforts could scoop this district to help make the Assembly two-thirds blue. In South County, it is well established that the Isla Vista area has been the county’s political epicenter since 18-year-olds got the right to vote in 1971. This summer, Democratic Party activists set out to register 13,000 new Isla Vista voters. But they only signed up about 9,000, excluding online voter registration and CalPIRG efforts. Because students living in Isla Vista frequently move apartments, they must often re-register to vote. Darcel Elliott, who is leading the charge for the Democrats, said they confirmed an additional 945 people were already registered to vote because they did not move. She observed students were more likely to register Democrat in the June primary so they could vote for Bernie Sanders, who beat — Kelsey Brugger Hillary Clinton 8-1 in Isla Vista.

SBCC $9 Million in Debt; New Campus Center on Hold

F

acing a projected $9 million deficit next year, fiscal shot callers at Santa Barbara City College are brainstorming how to realistically decrease expenses while ramping up revenue and operating more efficiently. “This deficit is a result of declining revenues over many years and steadily increasing expenditures,” SBCC President Anthony Beebe said in a letter to staff on Monday. Over the past five years, the college has seen enrollment drop 5-7 percent annually, an ongoing hit exacerbated by unpredictable state funding. This fall alone, enrollment is down 6.8 percent from last year, representing roughly $1.8 million in lost revenue. But Beebe has emphasized “that the solution is not to drive up enrollment,” said Luz Reyes-Martin, SBCC’s communications director.“We don’t want to grow the college. It’s about stabilizing where we are and not continuing to decline.” A series of meetings of SBCC’s College Planning Council (CPC) is underway to expose the extent of the money troubles and come up with turnaround tactics, to be presented at the next CPC meeting on November 1, with final recommendations scheduled for review on November 15. As fiscal solutions slowly take visible form, what this means for SBCC’s progress toward building an all-new Campus Center is clear: That project has been pushed to the back- burner. In 2012, SBCC received $20 million in state funding toward the effort and has since set aside supplemental funding and worked through the permitting process toward replacing the existing structure with something bigger and safer, to the tune of $30 million. With approved plans “we were ready to go,” Reyes-Martin said, with plans to break ground this winter. Then the bids came in, the lowest of which was $7 million over budget. In its original estimate, SBCC had accounted for inflated costs associated with big, out-oftown construction firms heading up major projects in Santa Barbara, she said, adding that community colleges statewide are discovering that construction costs have gone up considerably as the economy rebounds from the Great Recession. For now, SBCC is considering spending set-aside funds on upgrading the existing Campus Center. “[Beebe] made it very clear that it wouldn’t be prudent to add $7 million of debt burden to the college,” Reyes-Martin said. — Keith Hamm

MORE RULES, PLEASE: Ballard Canyon residents (pictured here in 2013) fear what future wineries would mean for their area, so the county has proposed stricter development guidelines in wine country.

Winery Ordinance Reality Check

Breaking Through the Hype as Supervisors Prepare to Vote on New Wine Country Rules

T

by Matt Kettmann

he folks who live and work in Santa Barbara wine country have been slogging through the county’s meticulous process of updating the winery ordinance for more than four years. Much is at stake for both winemakers and their neighbors alike. The update was initiated, in short, because some residents — particularly those in Ballard Canyon — wanted stricter rules for future wineries when it came to road safety, traffic, noise, and other quality-of-life impacts. Winemakers, meanwhile, said that the rules were tough enough and already formed an impediment to any rampant growth, evidenced in the most grueling way by the now six-plus years that Michael Larner has been trying to get approval for his winery. Since our cover story in January 2013,“A Tale of Two Valleys,” little has changed on the ground. But after four years of meetings, public comments, and environmental studies, the updated winery ordinance now exists on paper, having been approved by a 4-1 vote of the County Planning Commission in September. On November 1, the Board of Supervisors will decide whether to make this ordinance the law of the land. Here’s a primer on what these new rules will mean for the industry and for the people who live nearby.

Why update the ordinance? “One of the goals was to address some of the ambiguities in the current ordinance that were leading to inefficiencies in the permitting of wineries,” said senior planner David Lackie.“It makes great strides toward adding additional clarity.” How will it work? The new ordinance, like the old one, puts proposed wineries into three escalating tiers. Unlike the old one, the updated version is very specific in defining terms as well as prescribing minimum property sizes and how many acres of vines must be planted for the size of each winery. “The existing ordinance enabled someone to apply for the most intensive uses, but on relatively small acreage and relatively small planted vineyards,” explained Lackie. So the new numbers are more restrictive than in the past, in terms of minimum lot sizes, mandatory acreages, allowed special events, and visitation rates. But it also lets all wineries have visitors during four “industry-wide” events per year, such as the Vintners’ Weekend. Higher tiers also allow for winemaker meals and cooking classes.

Do vintners like it? Not one bit. “The intent was to streamline the winery ordinance and make it clear what’s allowed and what’s not,” said Morgen McLaughlin, head of the Santa Barbara County Vintners’ Association. “It’s gone way beyond clarification and has become much more restrictive. It’s not even making it more black and white, but it is going to have a detrimental effect on the sustained and slowgrowth development of the wine industry in Santa Barbara County.” She says wineries like Grassini and Hilliard Bruce would never have been approved under the proposed rules, and that it will raise the financial bar even higher for anyone wishing to enter the industry.“With the existing ordinance, it’s hard enough to make the numbers work for a profitable winery,” said McLaughlin. “The new ordinance makes it that much harder.” She and many vintners want the Board of Supervisors to revert to the existing ordinance and to totally scrap the past five years of work. What do neighbors think? They’re not pleased, either, especially those in Ballard Canyon, who claim their roads’ accident rates are higher than the state average. They hired Ana Citrin of Marc Chytilo’s law firm to request a special “roadway safety plan” provision that would require wineries located on dangerous roads to get special permission to host tastings and events. In an August 1 letter, Citrin wrote that their proposal had been “given no consideration” by staff, and she expressed dismay that the idea of a special planning “overlay” for Ballard Canyon has also been rejected. Are the roads unsafe and busy? There’s a common-sense link between more places to sip alcohol and increased drunk driving rates—and lots of anecdotes repeated at hearings— but the statistics used by the county do not show any factual connection.“The [alcohol-related] collisions are occurring between 10 o’clock at night and 3 in the morning,” said Will Robertson from Public Works. “You can’t make the nexus that the wineries are causing collisions. I agree with that common sense [notion] … but there’s no link we can find.” Nor are the roads especially busy, at least when using the statewide standards for capacity. “We don’t even touch the threshold of significance,” said Robertson. How many wineries? There are 64 wineries on land controlled by the County of Santa Barbara, which started issuing per-

mits in 1975. If you include wineries within city limits, there are 191 total. (By means of comparison, Napa County had 467 in 2015.) There was a lot of growth in both vineyards and wineries from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s, according to Lackie, and there are a handful awaiting approval now, including The Hilt, Peake Ranch, and Larner. From 2000 to 2013, there was, on average, a little more than two wineries approved per year, so that’s the number planners used to project there could be 104 wineries by 2035. But that growth is unlikely with or without stricter rules, said McLaughlin, explaining that the county and state are approaching somewhat of a saturation point.“You don’t see a flood of new projects,” she said.

Tasting rooms in Los Olivos? Vintners complain that the already strict rules have led to the oversaturation of tasting rooms in places like Los Olivos or even the Funk Zone in Santa Barbara, and that the new rules will compound that pressure. “What’s unusual about Santa Barbara County is that because of the existing land-use restrictions, it’s disincentivized the estate winery model and encouraged producers to open up stand-alone tasting rooms in urbanized areas,” said McLaughlin.“That’s become saturated in certain areas with diminished returns.” “I won’t argue that’s entirely false,” said Lackie. “But a lot of those wineries that have tasting rooms in Los Olivos already have wineries in the rural areas.” The county may also propose new rules for tasting room permits for Los Olivos in the coming years. Effect on winemakers new and old? The frequent claim that the new ordinance will hurt up-and-coming winemakers doesn’t ring true for the county planners. “It’s a rich man’s game no matter where you cut it,” said Lackie, noting that it can cost upward of $30,000 an acre to plant grapes. He doesn’t believe that the dreams of a young Allan Hancock College grad will be squashed by these rules.“It’s not a bluecollar-farming type of activity,” said Lackie. “It’s still gonna be an expensive endeavor at all levels.” He does note that the proposed rules would allow wineries to open a second tasting room on their property, which could possibly be used by an assistant winemaker for a side project. Existing wineries will have their allowances grandfathered in, but if they want to expand or make major changes, they may be required to adhere to the new rules. McLaughlin says this will thwart innovation and may also affect the prices people will pay to buy existing wineries in Santa Barbara County. Altogether, she believes it will mean more grapes get shipped out of the county for processing. Lackie said the changes had to be “substantial” to trigger the new rules for an existing winery, but he added that what’s substantial can only be determined on a project-by-project basis. How will supervisors vote? Both 3rd District Supervisor Doreen Farr, who led the charge for this update, and 2nd District Supervisor Janet Wolf are known as neighborhood advocates, so they will likely approve stricter rules. But the two North County supervisors, Peter Adam and Steve Lavagnino, tend to side with business and agricultural interests, both of which will be out in force on Tuesday. So they’re likely to vote against it. Less predictable is Salud Carbajal, but it’s possible he may not even be at the hearing since he is running for Congress and Election Day will be a week away. As of press time, he does plan to attend. If not and a split vote occurs, the ordinance would be taken up by the new board some time next year.

the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will consider the updated winery ordinance on tuesday, november 1, at 9 a.m. in the Santa maria hearing room. See tinyurl .com/sbwineord for the entire ordinance and planning history.

WHEN SMART PEOPLE DO DUMB THINGS: Some people give the devil his due; others

dance with him. Me? I’m willing to share a cup of coffee. The alleged “devil” in this equation is an otherwise soft-spoken, easygoing, overachieving water engineer from Ohio named Floyd Wicks, now leading the charge to take over the Montecito Water District Board on behalf of Montecito’s usual coterie of well-heeled former Captains of Industry who retired there. Droughts have a way of highlighting all kinds of stupidity, and Wicks is running with Tobe Plough as a slate engineered by Bob Hazard, a former hotel chain exec and communityminded Montecito resident who has been pulling out handfuls of hair over the district’s manifold failures in preventing the unimaginable—Lake Cachuma and Jameson Reservoir going simultaneously dry — from happening. Wicks, Plough, and Hazard are intent on defeating incumbent water boardmember Charles Newman — appointed 15 months ago — and Tom Mosby, who is seeking to reincarnate himself as boardmember after working for the district for 25 years. Mosby and Newman happen to represent fiercely feuding factions of what otherwise might be characterized as “the incumbents,” and they are not running as a slate. On paper, Wicks has the credentials to run the water district single-handedly; for 20 years, he served as CEO of a private water company— Golden State Water Company —that

serves 75 cities, six military bases, and a million customers. Clearly, he’s more than qualified. But according to the whisper campaign unleashed by detractors, Wicks is part of a nefarious conspiracy to privatize the water district. And based on Golden State’s track record, Wicks—I was warned—should be regarded as the second coming of Noah Cross, the deliciously diabolical water manipulator out of the movie Chinatown, the 1974 masterpiece about water, power, development, and corruption in Los Angeles. Sipping coffee across the table from Wicks, I was sorely disappointed. No horns. No cloven hooves. No mephitic odors. Instead, we talked about recycled water. Desal. Purple pipes. Plans not submitted. His son’s high school sporting events. No Noah Cross, sadly. At a candidates’ forum last week, water boardmember Newman — backed by the Democratic Party Machine —sought to tag Wicks as the personification of corporate greed and conflicted interests, though without actually naming him as such. Wicks’s response? “I think someone’s talking about me,” he said with disarming humor. Less disarming—and convincing—was Wick’s response to recent uprisings against the water company he used to run by the cities of Ojai and Claremont, long served by Golden State. Residents of both cities were so outraged by the high water rates charged by Golden State—three times higher than neighboring municipal water districts—that they voted to

assume millions in additional debt to buy out Golden State and merge with other agencies. In Ojai, 87 percent of the voters approved $60 million in debt to do this — 87 percent! In Claremont, it was $135 million. As a private water company, Golden State is allowed to exact profits of about 9 percent the total value of its assets plus expenses. Claremont’s attorney is claiming Golden State collected far more than is allowed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates private water companies. Claremont residents are so angry with Golden State they’re willing to merge with a water company with documented problems of E. coli in the water system. Golden State is still fighting both of these efforts in court. Wick’s response? Two districts out of 75 ain’t bad. All this, he said, happened after he retired in 2009. And Montecitians, he argued, would love to pay what Ojaians pay for their water. In 2011, the CPUC fined Golden State $1 million for procurement irregularities among suppliers and contractors that first surfaced in 2007, when Wicks was still at the helm. More offensive to the CPUC than the violations was that Golden State failed to notify the CPUC about them. In addition to the fine, the CPUC ordered Golden State to issue its customers rate rebates and refunds totaling $12 million. By any reckoning, that’s a stiff penalty. The irony is that Claremont and Ojai are revolting against Golden State for many of the same reasons Wicks is now leading the charge against Montecito: In times of drought, ratepayers get charged a lot more money to receive a lot less water. That’s what water districts have to do to stay financially afloat. But

that doesn’t mean customers have to like it. In Montecito, former water czar Mosby abruptly put the brakes on consumption nearly three years ago, getting his board to approve a water rationing plan that effectively cut water consumption by 44 percent, jacked up rates to account for lost revenues, and imposed stiff penalties — which produce about $3 million a year in revenues—on customers who exceeded their allocations. It has been anything but pretty. But it appears Montecito might be able to squeak through the next few years thanks to supplemental water supplies the district begged, borrowed, or stole. For all the outrage over rationing, penalties and water bills, it’s worth noting the average Montecitian still uses four times more water than the average Goletian and pays about half as much as the average Santa Barbarian for the water received. Wicks has forgotten more about water districts than I’ll ever know. He talks some genuinely good ideas and some ideas that sound a lot more promising than they really are. But I don’t buy the boogeyman talk that he’s in it to privatize the district. That’s fear-mongering. But climate change is real. The violence inflicted by this drought is unprecedented. In this context, it makes no sense at all that Wicks and his posse would campaign on the slogan “Keep Montecito Green.” Green? Now? Some people like to dance with the devil. I drink coffee. Floyd Wicks, I can assure you, is not the devil. The devil would never post yard signs saying “Keep Montecito Green” in the middle of a drought. He’s too damn smart. —Nick Welsh

A Railbird’s Tip Sheet for Political Fans in the Final Days of Campaign 2016 NUT-JOB NATION: A mental-health therapist named Steven Stosny in Washington, D.C., is enjoying his 15 seconds of fame after coining the phrase “Election Stress Disorder” to describe the national affliction of toxic emotions arising from the vicious and bitter presidential race during the Year of Trump. The Beltway headshrinker blames the campaign for high levels of “irritability and resentment” he’s seeing in many patients, manifest as road rage, ranting at work, snarling at the kitchen table, and increased consumption of alcoholic beverages. “It’s hard to tell if you have it,” he tells the Washington Post. “Ask your spouse and kids if they’ve noticed a difference.” Sic temper tyrannis. INITIATIVES FOR DUMMIES: Great news for solid citizens wading through the 18 gazillion pages of the Official Voter Information Guide before November 8 in lieu of, oh say, reading the complete works of Marcel Proust: Democratic activist Damian Carroll, who doubles as a literary stylist, has written 17 haiku stanzas that clearly summarize the bewildering collection of state ballot measures. Example: using the three-line, 5/7/5, 17-syllable Japanese poetic form, Carroll analyzes two conflicting death-penalty initiatives this way: PROP. 62 Vote for this one if You want to eliminate The death penalty PROP. 66 If you want the state To execute more people This one is for you

His complete collection can be found at bit.ly/2cIoMC2. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY: Open Secrets.org, a good-government website that publishes reams of campaign finance data, lists the race to replace retiring Representative Lois Capps as the fifth most expensive House contest in the U.S. To date, Salud Carbajal and Justin Fareed have raised more than $4.7 million, while independent expenditure groups, led by the national Democratic and Republican campaign committees, have pitched in another $3 million. Salud, who seems a mortal lock to win, would emerge with a well-earned reputation among the congressional cognoscenti as a major league fundraiser, one reason Beltway Dems have been willing to make a big investment in him. A protégé of L.A. Representative Xavier Becerra, an influential leader within the party caucus, Salud is easy to foresee as

the kind of firmly entrenched incumbent counted on to turn his cash-collecting talents toward the efforts of Democratic colleagues in open and contested districts. One veteran national operative, noting that the biggest problem campaign consultants have with most candidates is their lack of discipline in buckling down and making round after round of fundraising calls, told me,“This guy loves it.” SENATE SPECULATIONS: If Hillary Clinton is elected president, as widely forecast, her sole hope for a successful legislative agenda, let alone approved Supreme Court nominations, is having coattails long enough to capture a U.S. Senate Democratic majority. At deadline, the stat-mad political junkie website 538 set the party’s odds of doing so (they need to net at least four seats for a bare majority that would include the vote of Vice President Tim Kaine) at 69.5 percent. While Indiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania are the crucial states to watch on election night, there will be exactly no suspense in California, where the state’s Top Two primary system produced the historic circumstance of two Democrats facing off for the prize of the Senate seat being vacated by Barbara Boxer. In a surprisingly no-drama race, state Attorney General Kamala Harris is already measuring the drapes, having proved more poised, smarter, and shrewder, despite a plucky effort by the erratic Orange County Representative Loretta Sanchez. The endorsements of President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, the state party, Boxer, and sister Senator Dianne Feinstein didn’t hurt. RIP: Sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Dan Secord, former city councilmember and planning commissioner, who died of bladder cancer last week at 80. While his public service, conducted in a delightfully blunt and forthright style, has been well chronicled, I was lucky to get to know him privately as a compassionate, generous, and wise person beginning in 2012, when he counseled me during the early stages of my own cancer. After I got too sick to answer his emails, he stayed in regular communication with my wife, Linda, and then came by himself to see how things were going when I got home. The day after last June’s primary, he emailed to grumble about the election results (“the Democrats got what they wanted”) and mention, almost in passing, his crummy diagnosis and upcoming surgery “to reroute my pipes.” Last month, he answered a “how ya’ doin’” message with good-natured gruffness: “Fine now, for a geezer with bladder cancer.” — Jerry Roberts RIP, Doc.

Walter “Walt” Raleigh Anderson, III, passed away October 11, 2016 at his home in Santa Barbara, CA, from complications of diabetes. He was born June 30, 1943 at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C., to Walter R. Anderson, Jr, and Elsie E. Anderson. He spent his youth in Edgewater, MD, graduating from Annapolis High School in 1961 and then later earning a business degree from the University of Maryland. After graduation he initially worked with the Hecht Co. but relocated to Ventura, CA, in 1973 to work in healthcare with the Ventura County Medical Foundation. He later moved to Santa Barbara, CA, to be Executive Director of the Santa Barbara Medical Foundation. In 1981, he partnered with his wife, Denni, to successfully establish Walter R.

programs and has worked many jobs in the SB area. Efren was well known throughout the SB community and inspired all who had the privilege to know him through his loving, caring spirit and personality he showed on a daily basis. He did not let his disabilities stop him from enjoying life to his full potential. Although he did not have speech, he always found a way to communicate and tell us what he wanted. He was independent and found ways to explore and travel throughout the area by hitching a ride or using the local transportation system. He had a passion for sports and enjoyed watching the local sports scene and loved to read the local sports page to find out who is playing. He participated in the special Olympics and was a huge fan of the Los Angeles Lakers. Efren was a special intelligent person who lived an amazing life. Quotes from his siblings: Olivia- "My dearest little brother, you had the most amazing love for people. The world would be a better place if we all had the kind loving heart that you did. Until we meet again, Love your sister." JR- "My baby brother always taught me to look at the positives in life. He was truly my life coach. He will forever be in my heart. Until we meet again. Love your, “HAHA”" Manuel- "To have lived life through your eyes for one day is more than I could ever do in a lifetime. You saw every day as a gift and you made the most of it. You are and will always be our little Superman" The family would like to thank the SB community for their kindness, love and compassion you showed to our son throughout his life. You allowed him to live an independent lifestyle that brought him joy and laughter for which we are forever grateful. Efren was so dearly loved by all his family and friends. He was taken to soon, and will be forever missed but never forgotten. Heaven has gained an angel. We Love You Efren. Services & memorial were held on Friday, October 21.

Margaret Ann Lawrence (Marge) was born on January 19, 1922 in Cincinnati, Ohio and died peacefully at age 94 on October 11, 2016. Marge was an only child who grew up with a colorful assortment of relatives in northern Ohio. She graduated from Amherst Central High School in Amherst, OH and went on to Ohio State University and Kent State University, where she graduated in 1944 with a BS in Education. Marge was a fiercely independent woman, and in many ways, ahead of her time. She was only 4’10” tall, with a short haircut, a pixie face, and bright green eyes that could go from an amused twinkle to a steely glare when she was challenged. Marge left Ohio in 1945 to play her part in World War II, training at Ameri-

can University in Washington DC with the Red Cross, and then on to the Pacific Theater where she worked in rest camp recreation administration, air evacuation, and rehabilitation. Marge told harrowing tales of accompanying both wounded men and bodies back to the U.S. on seemingly endless plane flights across the Pacific Ocean. Marge suffered from PTSD after this experience, and from that point on she became a staunch advocate for empowering girls. In the late 1940s Marge owned and operated the Holiday House Girls Camp on Lake Erie, an outdoor enrichment camp for girls ages 6 to 21. In 1947 Marge took the position of Executive Director of the Girls Club in Long Beach, CA, which became a model for the Pacific Coast in the late 1940s. In 1951 she returned to the eastern U.S. to Erie PA and spent 3 years as the Executive Director of the Erie County Council of Girl Scouts, overseeing camping programs, selecting and establishing camp sites, as well as a variety of administrative duties. Marge moved back to California in 1953, to Santa Barbara, and spent 6 years doing a variety of free lance jobs, including writing, photography, layout, and copy editing for various magazines and newspapers both locally and nationally. Long-time Goleta residents may remember Marge’s “Hi Neighbor,” column in the Goleta Valley Times. Marge was a lifelong car enthusiast and wrote many entertaining articles about “California Hot Rods” for major car magazines. After a two-year stint at the Dos Pueblos Orchid Company in Goleta where she did everything from secretarial work to guiding tours and creating brochures, she was hired to the position of Executive Director of the Santa Barbara Girls Club, where she spent 6 years expanding the program that eventually served 280 girls, 5 days a week, year round. She was instrumental in raising the money to buy the land and construct a Girls Club building. The land was purchased, but Marge finally resigned in 1963 in frustration at not being able get the building process moving forward. In 1966 (at age 44) Marge received her California Teaching Credential from UCSB and worked as a Physical Education and Theater Arts teacher at Goleta Valley Junior High until her retirement in 1982. Many Santa Barbara and Goleta residents fondly remember her theater productions. Soon after Marge arrived in Santa Barbara, she purchased property on Crescent Drive in the San Roque neighborhood, and she and her father Walter built a small house on a hillside with views of the ocean from the back porch. She kept 2 horses behind the house and reminisced about how she had been able to ride them up La Cumbre Road, and across Foothill Road, onto miles of trails. She always had a dog and a variety of cats, and made friends with neighborhood pets, many of whom visited her daily, with or without their owners. Over the decades, Marge became a well-known neighborhood character who was acquainted with most everyone in the Center Ave/Crescent Drive circle area. Her neighborhood friendships spanned decades, and as she aged there were many who regularly checked in on her and helped with chores and errands. Whether your kids were throwing stones, or your dog was limping, or your car engine sounded off kilter, Marge would be sure to let you know. Marge’s beefed up black 1969 Chevy pickup truck, her pride and joy, was an iconic landmark in the neighborhood for nearly 40 years. The sight of a tiny white-haired lady with a baseball cap driving a large antique pickup was a

familiar sight to residents on the west side of Santa Barbara. In her last decade, Marge lived with a neighbor and then moved to Alexander Gardens, an assisted living facility on Santa Barbara Street where she was an active resident, particularly enjoying bingo games, flower arrangement and the various forms of musical entertainment provided by Santa Barbara residents. A memorial service will be held for Marge at 3 p.m. on Monday Oct 31 (Halloween was her favorite holiday), at Alexander Gardens, 2120 Santa Barbara Street Santa Barbara CA 93105.

Paul Kopp Nielsen 06/24/40-10/10/16

Paul Nielsen passed away at his home on October 10, 2016, ending a two and one-half year struggle with esophageal cancer. His family and his faithful Labrador retriever, Ruff, were by his side and the sounds of Willie Nelson accompanied him on his final journey. Paul was born in Montebello, California on June 24, 1940 to Ross and Ann Nielsen. In 1950 he moved to Santa Barbara with his family when his father relocated The Groen Rose Company, the business in which he was a partner, to the Goleta Valley. He graduated from San Roque School and was a member of the 1958 graduating class of Santa Barbara Catholic High School. He was a 1962 graduate of the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in mechanical engineering. Following graduation, he was employed for several years by North American-Rockwell Aviation in Los Angeles where he worked on various aspects of the early Apollo moon landing project. While living in Los Angeles he met and married his wife Carolyn and following the birth of their first child, he made the decision to change careers and returned to Santa Barbara to join his father in the rose-growing business in 1967. For the next fifty years, until shortly before his death, Paul was active in various aspects of the nursery business, first as a rose grower with his father, then as a wholesale cut-flower broker (Central Coast Wholesale Florist), a wholesale plant grower (Central Coast Plant Company), and finally as a consultant. During his career as a nurseryman he was active in several trade organizations and frequently served in leadership roles. Paul was a devoted husband and father who loved hiking and camping with his family and instilled in his children a love of the outdoors. He was also an avid fly fisherman who travelled the western United States always in search of the “big one.” Paul is survived by his loving wife, Carolyn, daughter Kristine Weber (Pat), son Paul Erik (Kim) grandchildren Taylor Weber and Tanner Nielsen, great granddaughter, Riley Ann, and his sister Carla O’Neill (Desmond) as well as several nieces and nephews.

Maria del Carmen Tapia (“Carmen”) passed away peacefully on September 7, 2016 at the age of 91 after an uphill battle with pneumonia. On September 21 she was laid to rest in the cemetery of Miraflores de La Sierra, Spain in the burial plot of her family. Carmen was born in Cartagena, Spain in 1925. After growing up in an aristocratic family, in 1948 she joined a religious group called Opus Dei and took vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. She joined the organization during an expansive period and traveled with it through Spain, Italy and Venezuela. Carmen became a Venezuelan citizen in 1960. She eventually departed Opus Dei and wrote of her experiences in a book that has been translated into several languages. Always a citizen of the world, Carmen was deeply interested in religion and studied throughout her life. She moved to Santa Barbara to work as an assistant to Dr. Raimundo Panikkar in the Religious Studies Department at UCSB. She then served as an Administrator of Faculty Exchanges for the UC Education Abroad program. She proudly became a United States citizen. Carmen was a passionate, generous and loyal friend to many. She welcomed people into her home in Santa Barbara and stayed in regular contact with her many friends from around the world. She is survived by her two younger brothers, Javier and Manolo, and their families, all of whom live in Spain. At Carmen’s request, a simple mass will be held in her name at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church at 1300 East Valley Road, Montecito, California on November 15, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. No reception is planned. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Our Lady of Mt.

Dangerous Prop. 64

T

here are many reasons why Proposition 64—the initiative seeking to legalize recreational marijuana in California—is bad for our state. Perhaps the most compelling is the increased loss of life we can expect on our highways if it passes. Several years ago, we saw the devastating effects of intoxicated driving when a marijuana-drugged driver crashed into a CHP motorcycle officer and a man he had stopped on the shoulder of the 101 freeway, south of Carpinteria. The CHP officer was paralyzed for life, and the man he had pulled over was killed. In Colorado, such marijuana-related traffic deaths increased by close to two-thirds (62 percent) in the year following marijuana legalization in 2013 and by almost half (48 percent) in the three-year average following legalization. Despite these grim statistics, Prop. 64’s special-interest proponents refused to include a scientific standard for marijuana intoxication, making it extremely hard for peace officers to keep impaired drivers off our highways. In 2015, 252 people were killed in marijuana-related traffic collisions in California. If we extrapolate Colorado’s average increase of 48 percent each year over three years, we can expect more than 120 additional deaths on our highways—each year for the next three years — if Prop. 64 passes. Is legal marijuana really worth an annual loss exceeding 120 lives? The abuse of alcohol and other substances already causes far too much havoc, tragedy, and heartache in California. Let’s not repeat Colorado’s big mistake. Vote no on Proposition 64. — Bill Brown, sheriff/coroner, Santa Barbara County

Vote Tom Mosby

I

t is very clear that the two businessmen challengers, Floyd Wicks and Tobe Plough, for Montecito Water District (MWD) want to privatize our water. Adding a profit layer is the last thing we need to do. Ask the folks in Ojai, who buy from Wicks’s private water company, Golden State. The recent appeal court decision to make Ojai’s water district public again had harsh criticism: “Over a 20-year period, Golden State’s average rates increased at nearly twice that of Casitas.”

Tom Mosby is a retired MWD water manager with 35 years of experience. In my 30-year career in water issues, I have found Mosby to be among the best of water managers, if not the best. He is honest, knowledgeable, dedicated, and always puts customers’ interests first. We need his experience to guide us through this water crisis. Two critical things need to be done to gain a reliable water supply at a reasonable cost: One is to conclude negotiations with Santa Barbara to get desal online for Montecito. The other is working with other South Coast water agencies to replace the 7.5 miles of undersized pipe that runs from Solvang to Lake Cachuma with a larger pipe. This would assure delivery of all the water MWD has purchased outside our county. Tom Mosby is our best choice to get this done.

“David” Dwain Bushnell was a young 55 when his Lord called him home on October 14th, 2016, in Portland, Oregon. We know not the date or time of our earthly departure, but it was unexpected that his prostate cancer would return with such a vengeance while on a traveling vacation. David was born on January 15th, 1961 in Gardena, California, to James “Bud” Bushnell and Brenda Lee Meeks. His family moved to Santa Barbara in 1972 and remained there until 2008. David and Rose Murray moved to Santa Maria, California, in 2008 and were married on September 24, 2011 in Las Vegas with their family and friends in attendance. They honeymooned in Hawaii. He graduated from Dos Pueblos High School in 1979. He earned his pilot’s license in 1977 at the age of 16 and his Real Estate license in 1979, at 18. He followed in his father’s family footsteps of real estate investment. He also followed his dad into the Electrical trade and was a member of the IBEW 413. David enjoyed a wide range of hobbies and activities from hooking rugs and needlepoint to snow skiing, traveling and his favorite, dancing. David began dancing at an early age and continued with Ballroom, Country and Square dancing throughout his life. He passed his love of dance onto his children. His son, Jeremy, describes his dad as his Hero; he was generous, wise and loved to laugh. His daughter, Krystal, agreed and added he was patient, caring, loyal, loving and accepting. He was a father who encouraged them to pursue their dreams. He is survived by his wife of 5 years, Rose Bushnell; his children from a previous marriage to Denise Anthony are his son, Jeremy Bushnell (28) of Riverside and his daughter, Krystal Bushnell (25) of Rancho Cucamonga; his first granddaughter, Cheyenne Ford (6 mos); his sister, Lisa Bushnell (53) of Santa Barbara; as well as two nieces (Lexi and Jessica), three aunts (Carol, Betty and Marilyn), two uncles (Johnny and Chet), three step children Heather Bain (32), Chris Anadon (29) and Cassy Anadon (25) in addition to a multitude of cousins.

Tomika Sollen 06/26/20-10/17/16

Tomika Sollen was born June 26, 1920, in Berkeley, She passed away peacefully October 17, 2016, with her devoted husband of 46 years, Robert Sollen, by her side at Abundant Care. She was born to Sataro and Toku Harano, Japanese immigrants. Tomika was one of 9 children. In 1942, the family was evacuated to Tanforan and the Tule Lake concentration camps where the Federal Government detained West Coast Japanese-Americans during WWII. Unable to attend 1942 commencement exercises at Berkeley, Tomika and her then husband Tom Shibutani, received their university degrees behind barbed wire. In 1943, they moved to Chicago where Tom was drafted into the U.S. army to serve the country that incarcerated him. After the war, Tomika moved back to Berkeley with her husband who joined the faculty at Berkeley. When they moved to Santa Barbara in 1962, Tomika became active with the Sierra Club, Santa Barbara Audubon Society and later with the Community Environmental Council. Tomika said, "with the Sierra Club, my main interest was political. It was a chance to work with a group to endorse environmental candidates." Tomika was an avid tennis player, taking up tennis in the 1950's and played until 2006 when she broke her arm in a fall on the tennis courts. She won many local and regional tournaments. After WWII her brothers and sisters and their families settled throughout the U.S. To stay in touch, the family scheduled biennial reunions since 1973 which grew to 140+ in attendance. Tomika cherished long friendships which she maintained by travel, phone, mail, and entertaining in her home. Much appreciation to Hospice who were supportive and faithful to Tomika throughout her long journey of failing health! She leaves behind her devoted husband of 46 years, Robert Sollen, a Santa Barbara News-Press reporter. Donations may be made to Hospice or The Foodbank on behalf of Tomika Sollen.

no on Prop. 60 Adult Industry Has Successfully Self-Regulated for 12 Years

The Board of Directors of the Central Coast Wine Classic Foundation would like to express sincere gratitude to our Patrons, Sponsors and Volunteers from the Santa Barbara Community for your substantive enthusiastic and generous support of the 2016 Central Coast Wine Classic. You brought extraordinarily good energy to the proceedings, creating a comprehensive embracement of education, enjoyment, edification and vision. We are deeply grateful... The Thirty-First Annual Central Coast Wine Classic presented an Array of Activities from August 10-14, 2016 in San Luis Obispo County & Santa Barbara County, including the Barrel Auction at Greengate Ranch & Vineyard in the Edna Valley, the Dinner at Hearst Castle in San Simeon and the Rare & Fine Wine & Lifestyle Auction at the Nesbitt Estate in Summerland. The total Wine Auction proceeds were $781,830 including gifts to FUND-A-NEED Beneficiaries, $20,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of North San Luis Obispo County, $94,000 to the Hearst Castle Foundations, the Hearst Preservation Foundation and Friends of Hearst Castle, that sustain the artifacts and their access at Hearst Castle and $69,191 to the Léni Fé Bland Performing Arts Fund created by 2016 Wine Classic Honoree Sara Miller McCune. Upon receiving the grant check from McLaren, Mrs. McCune expressed, “The Wine Classic’s support of The Léni Fund added an extraordinary extra feature that will ensure that students have access to the performing arts and learn from this exposure—a vital element of culture and expression, and a building block for Sara Miller McCune, Chairman SAGE Publications; Archie McLaren, Founder & Chairman of the Central Coast lifelong learning.” Wine Classic, and Margie Yahyavi, Santa Barbara Education Foundation Executive Director.

henever anyone flatly asserts that a conclusion is “obvious”— here, that The Santa Barbara Independent’s readers should support a ballot initiative requiring adult film workers to wear condoms — it is usually a good idea to take a deeper look. As we should all know by now, nothing is “obvious” about California’s voter initiatives, which are often written by well-funded, small interest groups to confuse and mislead citizens about their real intent. With Proposition 60, that small interest group is one man, Michael Weinstein of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, who has so far spent $5 million on a ballot measure that would install him as an accountable porn czar to override Cal/OSHA’s efforts to collaborate with adult-industry workers on writing workplace-specific regulations that would truly keep them safe. The adult industry’s rigorous testing program, along with the use of new medications such as PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) and voluntary quarantine protocols that would be the envy of the CDC, have kept adult film workers from HIV infection for 12 years. Allowing Weinstein to sue anyone associated with an adult film where a condom is not visible would drive the industry underground and out of state, where the adult industry’s proven safety measures would not be in force. Prop. 60 also creates a new private right of action giving any of California’s 38 million residents the right to sue adult film performers whose workplace safety practices go far beyond Weinstein’s obsession with condoms as the sole answer to preventing HIV/STI infection. Successful suits against a workforce that is largely female and LGBT would come with a 25 percent bounty. Porn vigilantes would have the right to performers’ real names and home addresses, which will only further endanger this stigmatized no other 2016 community. ballot measure, nor No other 2016 ballot meaany in memory, has sure, nor any in memory, has been so uniformly opposed: been so uniformly the California Democratic and opposed … ‘no on Libertarian parties, all other Prop. 60’ editorials AIDS organizations including AIDS Project L.A. and the San have appeared in Francisco AIDS Foundation, almost every major medical organizations such as the San Francisco Medical paper in California. Society and St. James Infirmary, civil rights organizations ranging from the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club to Equality California, and small business organizations such as the Greater San Fernando Valley Chamber of Commerce. The Free Speech Coalition and the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee, which represent the voices of adult-industry workers in seeking to protect their lives and livelihoods, both oppose Prop. 60. “No on Prop. 60” editorials have appeared in almost every major paper in California, from the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle to the Sacramento Bee and the San Diego Union-Tribune. The Mercury News said of Prop. 60, “seems like a good idea until you actually read it.” For more than 20 years I have been teaching a course at UCSB on pornography. We don’t start by asking whether porn is art or not, deviance or not, but what it is as film and popular culture, as a genre and an industry. By not making an exception of porn but treating it as an industry like any other, I and my students are in the rare position of being able to craft opinions about the adult industry that are informed by actually studying it. And because UCSB is so close to the center of the industry in the San Fernando Valley, we have the chance to learn from performers and producers in the industry who generously guest lecture in the class. I have also learned a great deal about those who work in the industry from editing The Feminist Porn Book, which brings together writings by feminists in the adult industry with essays by feminist porn scholars. The only thing that seems “obvious” to me is the value of listening to and talking with the workers rather than making pronouncements about them.

“I

’m not a big fan of the word ‘creative’,” laughed photog-

rapher Nell Campbell with a sardonic snort over a cup of coffee. “I don’t see myself in those terms.” Maybe not, but during the past 50 years, Campbell has quietly emerged as one of Santa Barbara’s best-known working photographers — simultaneously low-key and high-profile. “I see myself more as a documentary photographer.” Since moving to Santa Barbara in 1969, Campbell has wound up documenting many of the demonstrations throughout the South Coast, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Nine months ago, with Donald Trump’s presidential ascendancy at its zenith, it occurred to Campbell maybe a refresher course on what she’d been documenting was in order. An unabashed lefty blessed with an easy-going congeniality, Campbell wondered why more people, herself included, weren’t taking to the streets. “We have this history of protesting. We might need to be doing it some more,” she said. “I guess we’ll always need to be doing it.” Campbell began culling through 48 years of old prints and negatives. Along the way, she stumbled onto a tsunami of protest images — demonstrations against the Vietnam and Iraq wars, AIDS, poverty, and Diablo Canyon, and for tenants’ rights, gay rights, and civil rights. She wanted to get a show up before this November’s election; a friend of hers on the board of the recently opened Community Arts Workshop (CAW) jumped in and helped make that happen. Titled Images of Dissent, Campbell’s photography exhibit opens next Thursday, November 3, at CAW and captures a half century of political protest. Her photographs — like her recollections — are detailed and journalistically precise, infused with sly wit and gentle shrewdness.

Nell Campbell

Gives Visual Voice to Protest by Nick Welsh

photographs by nell Campbell

Born in Mississippi, Campbell grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where her father was a doctor. She had an Instamatic as a kid and still has the photograph she took of the truck that her grandmother, whom she called Biloximamma, drove to work at the shrimp canning plant. Inspired by The Family of Man, a muchcelebrated photo book of the 1950s and ’60s, Campbell realized that’s what she wanted to do, though,“I had no idea what it meant.” On a trip to Europe in 1967, Campbell met a couple of American GIs. One had a 35-millimeter camera, and he showed her how it worked. Once she was back home, she dropped out of school, moved to New Orleans, got a job at a convenience store, and honed her craft. She’d scan the obituary pages for jazz musicians, knowing their funerals always included large, boisterous musical parades. “I’d see one of those obits, and I’d call in sick,” Campbell recalled. In 1969, Campbell moved to Santa Barbara to attend Brooks Institute of Photography, then very much a bastion of male tradition. Of the 55 students in her class, Campbell said that only five were women. It wasn’t for her. “I knew I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life shooting perfume boxes,” she said, “which is what we were doing at Brooks.” What was happening everywhere else was upheaval and civic protests. UCSB had emerged as a national hot spot in the studentled antiwar movement, and demonstrations routinely spilled over into the community at large. “I was against the war,” she said. “I was a participant observer. But I knew I had to document what was going on.” continued>>> Clockwise from top left: Anti-Vietnam rally in Alameda Park, Santa Barbara, May 8, 1970; Billionaires for Bush (or Gore), Los Angeles, August 2000, protests during the Democratic National Convention; Campesino UFW supporter during union elections in the Imperial Valley, winter 1977; March in Support of Striking Workers at BFI (waste disposal company in S.B.), Santa Barbara, March 20,1976; Nell Campbell at her home (photo by Paul Wellman); former Lompoc mayor Joyce Howerton and Raye Fleming of Mothers for Peace and the Abalone Alliance at a protest against Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, August 7, 1977.

Back then, Campbell had no zoom lenses; cameras were heavy and bulky. Some protesters were gun-shy about having their photos taken. As Campbell’s friend and fellow photographer Macduff Everton remembered,“There was always some guy wearing black shoes and black socks with a camera, shooting,” he said. “And you never knew whose database you’d wind up in.” But for Campbell, it was easier to shoot big crowds since people in large assemblies tend to be less aware of the camera. To support herself, Campbell worked as a cabdriver and got involved in unsuccessful efforts to unionize the cab company. When city garbage workers went out on strike in 1976 — against the company BFI — Campbell made it a point to show up at the picket lines every morning. One day, she saw a cabdriver she’d once worked with, crossing the picket lines as a strikebreaker. She recalled tapping him on the shoulder, and before she knew what had happened, police had handcuffed her and arrested her for battery. During her subsequent trial, police officers testified that Campbell grabbed the strikebreaker and violently spun him around. The alleged victim, however, testified that had never happened. Ultimately, 10 jurors chose to believe the police, two did not, and Campbell was acquitted.

Lift the Military Ban, LGBT march on Washington, D.C., April 25, 1993

Around that time, she learned from a staff photographer for the United Farm Workers that a job was available. Campbell got hired, spending most of her time traversing California with union leader César Chávez, hitting the road at 7 a.m. and arriving at their final destinations at midnight. It was grueling work, but Campbell was committed to the cause. However, Chávez began going through some intense personal changes, seriously questioning the loyalty of many in his organization and putting them through tests that bordered on abuse. “Let’s just say that a purge was on the way,” Campbell said. She and around 30 other staffers eventually left.

Campbell moved back to Santa Barbara and continued her work as visual documentarian, while working for 12 years at the U.S. Post Office. By then she had developed a reliable knack for snatching images that told the story of an individual’s political passion. Openly lesbian, Campbell chronicled gay-pride rallies in Los Angeles and San Francisco from the 1970s to the present. During the height of the AIDS epidemic, her photo “Silence=Death,” of an anti-AIDS march in Washington, D.C., became so iconic that a publishing company stole the image to make a popular poster without her consent. Legal action ensued; she received nominal remuneration.

Not all of Campbell’s photos involved the political left. She has generated critical acclaim for her work from Cuba to Louisiana. Her photo series on duck blinds — the original man caves in a swamp-like setting—has garnered critical praise. She captured David Duke, then fresh out of the Ku Klux Klan, running for the U.S. Senate in Louisiana against Edwin Edwards, then renowned for corruption. She tracked a group of fringe Christian fundamentalists who protested Doo Dah parades, gaypride rallies, Holocaust museum openings, and Hare Krishna gatherings with equal evangelical outrage. She laughs about capturing a photo of the ringleader as he happened to stand right behind a horse’s ass. Stylistically, Campbell adheres to a strictly no-frills credo. She shoots most things, she said, in a very straightahead, direct manner. With portraits, she Demonstration in front of the Santa Barbara News-Press, July 2006 joked, “I find some nice Pictured: Starshine Roshell and Melinda Burns light and put them [her subjects] under it.” In those sessions, she described her approach as “bossy but not threatening,” adding,“Mostly, I tell people how great they’re looking and not what they need to do.” Photographer Macduff Everton put it somewhat differently. “Her style is to tell the story of the person she’s shooting; it’s not something she imposes on that person.” Everton said he’s frequently asked by younger photographers how they can make money in their chosen field. His advice is simple. “Don’t photograph gay-rights demonstrations, antiwar demonstrations, grape-boycott demonstrations,” he stated. “Nell puts in the time, the passion, and the thought to tell the story and to get it right. I think that is the definition of an artist. You do something because you have a compelling need to.” But it goes beyond self-indulgence.“People who resort to demonstrations usually feel they aren’t being heard. By documenting them, Nell keeps their voice alive.” ✯

The Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UCSB

Jonathan Gribetz Defining Neighbors: The Arab-Zionist Encounter on the Eve of Balfour Sunday, November 6/ 3:00 p.m. / Free UCSB Corwin Pavilion How did Zionists immigrants to early 20th century Palestine conceive of their new Arab neighbors, and how did the Arab natives make sense of the Jews arriving on Palestine’s shores? Drawing on his recent book Defining Neighbors: Religion, Race, and the Early Zionist-Arab Encounter, Jonathan Marc Gribetz will argue that this fateful encounter was initially imagined very differently from the way it ultimately developed. The Late Ottoman period in Palestine was no utopia, but exploring this moment reveals that today’s hardened dividing lines are far from timeless; they have a fascinating history.

11/2:

The Inquisitor Inspired by the short story “The Three Questions” by Leo Tolstoy with original music and original visual art, rich characters, and intricately woven choreography, this special one-night performance will be a true gift for all the senses. 8pm. Lobero Theatre, 33 E. Canon Perdido St. $29-$69. Call 963-0761. lobero.com

Jonathan Marc Gribetz is an assistant professor in the Department of Near Eastern Studies and in the Program in Judaic Studies at Princeton University. He teaches courses on the history of Zionism, Palestine, Israel, Jerusalem, and the Arab-Jewish encounter. Defining Neighbors (Princeton University Press, 2014) was named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title in 2015. Gribetz is currently writing a book tentatively titled Reading Herzl in Beirut: The PLO’s Research on Judaism and Israel.

Cont’d from p. 35 of L.A. There will be a free bike diagnosis from the Associated Students Bike Shop before the screening. 6-7pm. MultiCultural Ctr. Theater, UCSB. Free. Call 893-8411.

Funeral Home

First ever e Best Fest

Last Thursday, hours after our annual Best of Santa Barbara® issues hit the streets, about 500 people came down to the Carriage Museum to eat, drink, dance, and celebrate this year’s awardees. In addition to ample beer, wine, cocktails, and nibbles, from noodles and tacos to pizza and donut holes, attendees were treated to the tunes of DJ Darla Bea and flash-mob performances by La Boheme, who were decked out in Día de Los Muertos makeup and burlesque attire. Few folks had as much fun as The Santa Barbara Independent Independent’s own staff —including (from left) Alex Melton, Megan Illgner, Richie DeMaria, and Ben Ciccati in the back row and Caitlin Fitch, Indy alum Tamara Weaver, and Marianne Kuga in the front—who popped wide smiles for the Open Air Photobooth, relieved to be finally done putting together the massive 208-page newspaper, our biggest single issue in almost a decade.

Skateboarding

Powell & Peralta Roll Down MeMoRy lane

O

n this spring day in 1976, George Powell and his son Abe (pictured, blue shirt) were skateboarding at Pacific Palisades High School when a handful of the era’s best (foreground, from left: Bob Biniak, “Baby Paul” Cullen, Stacy Peralta, Paul Hoffman, Paul Constantineau, and, not pictured, Santa Barbara–based Tom Sims) showed up with a photographer to capture patriotic imagery for an H.J. Heinz Company shareholder report. Trying to keep up with the big guys, 7-year-old Abe took a hard slam. During the break in the action, Powell, a Stanfordtrained engineer who built skateboards in the family garage, introduced himself to top pros Sims and Peralta. Soon thereafter, the Powells moved to Santa Barbara’s Eastside, and in November 1976, Powell

Corporation was born, producing an aluminumskinned slalom board for Sims and white urethane wheels called Bones. In 1978, Peralta transitioned to the business side of the burgeoning industry, forming Powell-Peralta Skateboards, whose Bones Brigade team of young pioneers included Steve Caballero, Rodney Mullen, and a fledgling Tony Hawk. In 40 years, Powell— Powell now incorporated as Skate One — has never missed a day of manufacturing, with Bones wheels and bearings his top sellers and Powell-Peralta still showcasing the unmistakable artwork of Vernon Courtlandt Johnson. Powell’s most recent tinkering has produced Flight skate decks, reinforced with fiberglass and carbon fiber to be lighter and stronger than traditional maple laminates. —Keith Hamm

hat was once the provenance of the wealthy and often eccentric to preserve themselves after death has gone mainstream, as DNA retrieval is now a sought-after offering in funeral homes around the country. McDermott-Crockett & Associates Mortuary is Santa Barbara’s only certified provider of this breakthrough technology, which costs $295 rather than thousands of dollars like previous cryogenic options. That’s thanks to scientists at Lakehead University in Canada, who discovered a way to bind the DNA to a microscopic substrate that lasts indefinitely and can be stored at room temperature. “This has profound implications for future generations,” said Jennifer Parks, general manager of McDermott-Crockett. “Studying the preserved DNA could reveal genetic links to certain diseases or gene mutations, information that could be crucial to the prevention of inherited illnesses. I feel it’s our professional obligation to let the general public know that this is available and that the DNA can be tested multiple times.” The sample is extracted using a gentle cheek swab of the deceased, which is then sent to the lab for processing. The families receive a glass vial nestled in a black velvet jewelry box accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. A small amount of the sample can also be turned into a piece of jewelry or Jewelry made from DNA sculpture. “But the primary purpose is the home banking of DNA, even if someone chooses jewelry,” explained Ryan Lehto, CEO of DNA Memorial, which is the service company that owns the relevant patent. He admits that, initially, the scientific product was a harder sell than the mementos but that more and more families are opting for DNA preservation. Lehto formerly worked in a paleontology lab, where he studied the conditions that kept ancient DNA undamaged and replicated them. Although DNA can be obtained at any time in a person’s life, Lehto said the company decided to approach the funeral industry because “it’s the last stop, the last chance to save it.” The cremation process destroys DNA, and exhuming a body after burial is very expensive. DNA storage can help in everything from locating missing children and assisting in mass-casualty disasters to paternity testing and genealogical research. But the ability to procure and store DNA in a simple manner from our recently departed loved ones may indeed be a revolutionary way of helping future generations, all through a real and lasting ancestral connection.

E

very year, the 4th graders in CaliCali fornia’s 5,800 elementary schools study the state’s mission system, traditionally in a somewhat sugarcoated way, minus much of the violence, disease, forced labor, and other aspects of the history that may be a bit much for 9-year-olds. But filmmaker and author Gary Robinson —aa 13-year Santa Ynez resident of Choctaw and Cherokee descent who’s made a career out of telltell ing Native-American stories for tribes across the country — wanted to help balance that depiction. So Robinson, who is married to a member of and works for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, wrote Lands of Our Ancestors. The 189-page novel is aimed at those 4th graders and follows a few young Chumash and their families as the Spanish friars and soldiers arrive. We spoke last week.

Santa Barbara Debut

What led to this book? I became acutely aware of the issues surrounding Father Junípero

Serra being named a saint. I’d already become familiar with mission history from a native perspective. I wanted to do something to correct the misinformation and dispel the mythology about the missions. [The 4th graders] are being fed propaganda. [The curriculum] doesn’t address the true impact on California native people, so I wanted to produce something that could be impactful, age-appropriate, and fit within the standards but also just be a good book to read for kids.

The story goes quickly from preSpanish to what seems like the revolt of 1824. My intent was to show precontact,

so there’s a sense that the Chumash people lived a good life. They had their own religion, own education, and own government all intact. Then the rest includes a fictionalized version of what the revolt was about and some of the hardships that led to it. And I wanted to give the youthful reader a sense of hope, so the young lead character develops into manhood and develops the positive characteristics of courage.

Gary Robinson

Making his Santa Barbara recital debut right before Carnegie Hall!

What’s been the reception? I had it

tested last year by a 4th grade teacher in the classroom so I could make sure it was appropriate. I got a glowing endorsement. Then I had the Chumash culture department and the elders review it for cultural accuracy, and they all endorsed it. This is all very important for me. Then I had the librarian from the Solvang branch review it, and she again gave it a recommendation. Have you met with any resistance? Not yet, but I’m kind of bracing for it. I’m assuming

PASSION PLAY: Hounded by UNLV defenders earlier in the season, Amanda Ball scored 10 goals for UCSB before being injured last Sunday.

Updates on UCSB and Westmont Teams; Bill Pintard Votes Cubbies; Game and Players of the Week

he random flight of a soccer ball can be exasperating

to the people who play, coach, and watch the game. It would seem to be harder to strike the ball off the crossbar of the goal than into the eight vertical feet of space beneath it, but UCSB forward Nick DePuy has made that unlucky play numerous times. He did it Saturday night when the Gauchos dominated Cal Poly for 110 minutes, outshooting the Mustangs, 10-2, but had to settle for a 0-0 tie in front of the largest crowd (11,424) of the men’s college season. They still had a commanding lead in the Big West standings with two regularseason games to play, including a 2 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 30) match at home against UC Davis. Last Sunday, outright cruelty was inflicted on UCSB’s women in their match at UC Irvine. They fired off 13 shots, but none of them found the net. Irvine took two shots, and one of them went in, for a 1-0 victory that damaged the Gauchos’ chances to appear in the conference tournament. They are in a three-way tie for fith place and need to win both their remaining games — the home finale tonight (Thu., Oct. 27) against UC Davis and Sunday’s match at Long Beach State — to possibly get into the top four. More disheartening than the defeat was the apparent season-ending injury suffered by Amanda Ball, UCSB’s leading scorer. Her right foot was planted when an Irvine player hit her with what she described as a clean tackle, resulting in probable torn ligaments in her ankle. Ball’s absence will be felt by the Gauchos and their fans. Not only does she have a knack to score (10 goals), she also plays the game with a contagious joy. You’ll never see a player smile on the pitch more continually than the 55 junior striker from Chino Hills. “I have a really strong passion for soccer,” Ball said. “I’ve been playing since I was little, and I have the same feeling every single time I’m out there.” Some of that passion was instilled by her grandmother, Jean Williams, who was born and raised in England.“She

played soccer, and she’s a huge Chelsea fan,” Ball said. “I watched a lot of televised Chelsea games with her.” Ball scored four goals, with a pair of overtime gamewinners, as the Gaucho women opened their season with victories over Fresno State, 3-2, and St. Mary’s, 1-0. “She’s so dynamic,” UCSB coach Paul Stumpf said.“She’s a soccer bum, somebody who has aspirations to play pro.” The goals kept coming, including four by sophomore Mallory Hromatko, as UCSB entered Big West play with a 9-1-1 record. But in conference matches, the Gauchos have gone 2-3-1, with Ball scoring twice and Hromatko shut out. “Because we did so well in our preseason, teams definitely heard about that and started to high-press us and break down our buildup,” Ball said. As a result, Stumpf observed, “Amanda has had a lot of physicality thrown at her.” If she’s done for this season, Ball said she’ll be looking forward to a comeback as a senior. Meanwhile, several Gaucho seniors will play their last home game on Thursday. Stumpf said they’ll especially miss center back Sydney Fuertes and attacking midfielder Dakota Griggs. HIGH GOALS AT WESTMONT: Senior midfielder Brooke Lillywhite has been a scoring machine for the Westmont College women with 20 goals, including six game-winners. “She’s a leader,” said Warrior coach Chantel Cappuccilli.

“The team sets her up well, and she’s hard to stop.” Westmont is ranked No. 11 in the NAIA and hopes to start the Golden State Athletic Conference tournament at home on Friday, November 4. “It’s really exciting,” Cappuccilli said. “Our best soccer is yet to be played.” FALL CLASSIC: Bill Pintard has reason to root for the Chicago Cubs. Early last year, Pintard mourned the death of Gary Woods, one of his best friends,

who played for the Cubs in 1984.

Sienna Scibird, Bishop Diego golf She won the Tri-Valley League individual title by shooting a 37 in the nine-hole first round at Oxnard’s River Ridge course, then carding a 78 in the 18-hole final round.

Pintard attended the last three games of that year’s National League Championship Series in San Diego. The Cubs needed one more win to end their World Series drought, but the Padres swept them.“Gary told me it was the only time he ever cried,” said Pintard, who later brought Woods on as the hitting coach of his Santa Barbara Foresters. “He’d never shed a tear until he cleaned out his locker.” What most intrigues Pintard about the current World Series matchup between heretofore famished teams, the Cubs and the Cleveland Indians, is the quality of the two managers, Joe Maddon and Terry Francona. Expect them to be directing the action on the diamond with the verve of symphonic conductors Riccardo Muti and George Szell. “They’re both on top of the game,” Pintard said.“They know their teams inside and out.” Dave Roberts did a marvelous job as rookie manager of the Dodgers this year, but play-off experience won out when Maddon’s Cubs took the NL prize. “Maddon took a less talented team [Tampa] to the Series [in 2008],” Pintard said. As for Francona, he was the dugout leader of the Boston Red Sox in 2004 when they came back from a three-game deficit against the Yankees and went on to their first World Series title since 1918. “It’s going to be delightful to see what those guys are going to do,” Pintard said. “There’s no fear in the way they n manage.”

ASK THE DENTIST QUESTION: Will my dental insurance benefits rollover to next year? ANSWER: In most cases, dental insurance companies have a “use it or lose it policy” when it comes to your benefits. So you can’t save any unused benefits for next year. This is often the case with HSA plans as well. Many plans require you to show a service date by December 31st to be eligible for reimbursement. If you have a significant amount of dental work to do, we have a variety of options to help you afford the treatment you need. We can also split your visits between this year and the beginning of next year to help maximize your benefits. January is right around the corner and it is not too early to begin scheduling in the New Year! Don’t leave benefits that are due to you on the table. Call to schedule an appointment before the end of year today! SPONSORED BY:

For our main dishes, my wife opted for the panseared jumbo scallops, generously large and expertly caramelized, sitting in an almond butter purée with pickled cauliflower. Being at a steakhouse, I went for the dry-aged New York with black truffle shavings atop — it was solid, if a bit sparse on the plate all alone, making me wish I’d opted for one of the sauces (peppercorn sauce, bourbon coriander, etc.) that are offered for $5 or the house butter (corianderlime-Espelette or truffle and herb) for $3. Yet the Iter Larner Vineyard Syrah and the wild mushrooms with poached egg and house bacon were excellent backup sidekicks. (Credit the wine awesomeness to GM Branden Bidwell, former sommelier at Wine Cask.) For dessert, I’d heard about the Candy Bar—and it was mesmerizing. It emerges as a squat bowl topped with a flat roof of frozen dark chocolate, upon which hot chocolate sauce is poured, melting the ceiling like molten lava and opening into a cavernous display of salted-caramel ice cream and the same sort of peanut butter crunch you find in a Butterfinger. It’s dangerously delicious and perhaps a tad ridiculous for fewer than four people. The last bit of drama comes with the bill, which is in line with the tradition of splurging at the steakhouse. Being the restaurant’s invited guests for the evening, we never got one, but the menu items alone that we ordered add up to $153—drinks, tip, and tax not included.Yes, we over-ordered for the sake of wellrounded research (and were eating leftover steak, scallops, and mushrooms into the week), so our tab for two approached $250.

rama is a central ingredient at Angel Oak, which the Bacara opened as its fine-dining restaurant in June. The sprawling coastal resort at the western end of Goleta was without an upscale dining option for the 18 months since the closure of Miró, which debuted in 2000 as the property’s original restaurant. The space’s extensive remodeling and renovated vibe make it almost unrecognizable to those who’d known it before. Upon escaping the resort’s red-tile-roof motif, you enter a breezeway lined with stark columns and punctuated, at the end, by the floor-to-ceiling mosaic of a downward-looking female face. Once inside, the angular modern design is offset by many gnarled bonsai trees, and softened further by the abundant seaside scene outside, for the restaurant is set, almost precariously, atop the windswept bluffs that soar westward into the Gaviota Coast. Once seated in front of the setting sun — perhaps after a craft cocktail at the bar, like the St. George Citrus Vodka–based California Lookout that my wife and I enjoyed — you’re given impressively large, almost imposing menus, familiar to anyone who’s visited a proper big-city steakhouse. And that’s the theme Chef Vincent Lesage is going for. “We wanted to take the traditional steakhouse, make it our own, and just elevate the concept a little,” said the 31-year-old Parisian chef, who worked in numerous Michelin three-star restaurants in his hometown before coming to California to chef at the St. Regis Monarch Beach in 2008 and then the Balboa Bay Resort in 2013. “If you look at the Santa Barbara dining scene, there are not a lot of steakhouses and not a lot of high-end options. We wanted to be the place where you come to celebrate a special occasion, put on some nice clothes if you want to, and be happy.” But Angel Oak is cool with casual, too. “Everybody knows what a steakhouse is, so it’s not intimidating; it’s not a meal with 20 courses,” said Lesage, who joined the Bacara in 2015 and lives nearby with his wife and 3-year-old daughter. “We didn’t want to be that. We wanted to be a place where you can put on your flipflops and T-shirt and come see us, too.”

ne day, while hanging around the Funk Zone, Scott Manser and Damian Gover overheard a group of people lamenting the lack of places in Santa Barbara dedicated to sparkling wine.“That sparked the idea,” said Manser, who’d always wanted to open a bar. Said Gover,“This town has a place for every type of clientele, and people love champagne.” Both men were already firmly entrenched in the food scene: Longtime State Street bartender Manser, who’s from Vancouver, Washington, is co-owner of The Shop Café on Milpas, and Santa Barbara native, Sonoma State–educated Gover started Mac N’ Cheese After Dark in 2012, which still serves “kid food for drunk people” out of Velvet Jones every night Thursday-Sunday. They’d been wanting to partner on a new project, so why not fill the bubbles vacuum? Things fell into place rather serendipitously. Manser always thought that the dimly lit e-cigarette spot on West Haley Street would make a great low-key lounge, being just off of State. So when they heard that the tenants were moving out, Manser broke the news to the landlord, who let them take over the lease. Then they applied for a liquor license and got one without a problem. After eight months of design work—“old Hollywood with an edge,” said Manser of the motif, which features the original black-and-white checkered floors and a piano in the back—the Champagne Room started popping corks and pouring sparkling wine in September. “We’re serving all things bubbles, all things European,” said Gover, whose menu features a number of bottles for sale, from Prosecco and cava to real-deal Champagne, but is focused on by-the-glass options ranging from $8 to $45 in price. The beer list, however, does include a domestic: Miller High Life, also known as the

SPARKLING SMILE: Scott Manser (pictured) and Damian Gover run The Champagne Room on West Haley Street. Champagne of Beers.“It’s a joke in a way,” admitted Gover,“but people love it.” The clientele is all word-of-mouth right now, with many couples coming in before or after dinner for a drink, or small groups of friends meeting up before the midnight closing time to toss back a bottle and hit the nearby clubs afterward. The Champagne Room also serves Bellinis and mimosas on Sunday morning, and there are plans for finger foods in the near future, movie nights with popcorn, and plenty of holiday parties this season. Said Manser of his dream bar, “It’s catching on.” The Champagne Room (7 W.

re:Find Finds New Home

O

nce you start looking for ways to repurpose things, you can find opportunities everywhere. Take Alex and Monica Villicana, owners of Villicana Winery in Paso Robles. In 2011, Alex came up with the clever idea to take the bleed-off grapes early in the wine process — the saignée, which is often used to make rosé or, worse, just dumped — as the base for distilling spirits. Why not? Eastern Europe uses the potato because it’s cheap and plentiful, not for any intrinsic reasons. Today, their Re:Find distillery uses 250,000 gallons of grape juice from all over the Central Coast as the heart of its gin and vodkas. That amounts to about 50 acres of vineyard juice that otherwise, Alex explained, “would be thrown away, along with everything that’s gone into it— the diesel, manpower, water.”

me an update about 315 Meigs Road, the former home of Mexican Fresh Taquería, and said that she saw a “Mesa Burger” sign going up last week. Reader Gary peeked inside this past weekend, and he said it looks like there’s a ton of work to do.

in the old Blue Agave location at 20 East Cota Street, just celebrated its one-year anniversary. “We have refined our vision to focus on Indian tapas and other Asian-inspired delights,” said owner Brad Sherman.“Aparna Sherman’s recipes are a great departure from more Americanized Indian offerings, but we are decidedly not an Indian restaurant. There are reasonably priced choices of quality meats to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free small plates, entrees, and desserts. We offer amazing specialty beverages and ultra-local wine and beer list. It’s the perfect place to bring a date or book a large party.” See nectarsb.com. CAJUN KITCHEN FAIRVIEW UPDATE: In

April of this year, I broke the news that Cajun Kitchen is coming to 6025 Calle Real in Goleta, the former home of Rusty’s Pizza, which moved down the street to 5934 Calle Real. I’ve since received many emails asking me when they are opening, so I stopped by, looked into the window, and saw that the interior has been stripped down to open two-by-four walls and a cement floor. My

OLIVER’S UPDATE: In May 2012 (yes, more

than four years ago), I wrote that Peabody’s restaurant at 1198 Coast Village Road was closing and would be replaced by vegan restaurant Oliver’s, owned by cellular-phone pioneer Craig McCaw. A rumor is now circulating that it will open “in two weeks.” As with Cajun Kitchen above, I paid a personal visit, but the property is surrounded by fences, so I couldn’t get that close. I did see that the exterior is still under construction, with quite a bit of work remaining, so I would venture to guess that the rumor is false. I spoke with a security guard nearby, and he said that he doesn’t see much activity at the site but does see progress being made from time to time. MESA BURER UPDATE: Reader Annie sent

MILPAS TAQUERÍA: Here is an Eastside

update from reader Brendan: “There is a taquería in back of the building housing Milpas Liquor and a laundromat, near the corner of Milpas and Montecito streets. This was the location of the short-lived 5 Estrellas Honduran restaurant. The place is now called Milpas Taquería. According to the woman at the register, the proprietors are the same people running the small hot dog stand near Crown Liquors lower on Milpas.” APP-ETIZING: This just in from reader Foreest: “Hey John, Duo Catering has recently started a dinner service through an app called ChowNow.

Approximately 500 turkeys are needed. “There are hundreds of hungry, hurting souls in Santa Barbara who have lost everything, can’t find a job, are enslaved by drugs or alcohol, or even find themselves homeless,” said Rolf Geyling, the Rescue Mission’s president. “For them, the holidays can be the hardest time of year, with no family of their own — or place to call home.” Donations are accepted Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., at 535 East Yanonali Street.

Q.T. Luong’s PhotograPhic odyssey

National Parks photographer Q.T. Luong (pictured) has visited places where hardly a soul has set foot, experiencing them in a way no one yet had — and fortunately for us, he took the pictures to prove it. With a 5x7 large-format camera, the Paris-born former scientist hoisted a 75-pound backpack into all of America’s national parks, becoming the first and only human to document all 59 national parks through large-format pho photography. On Wednesday, November 2, at UCSB’s Campbell Hall, Luong will share his experience with a free illustrated presentation titled Treasured Lands: A Photographic Odyssey through America’s National Parks, presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures. Luong, who was featured in Ken Burns’s and Dayton Duncan’s documentary The National Parks: America’s Best Idea, captured hundreds of natural vistas over the course of more than 20 years and 300 visits. From Alaska’s mighty mountains to Utah’s maze-like canyons, Luong has preserved in remarkably vivid color vistas that would not be protected today if not for the work of earlier photographers such as Ansel Adams. Hear Luong speak at this free event, and see why he is one of today’s very best documenters of these majestic lands. Luong presents Treasured Lands: A Photographic Odyssey through America’s National Parks at Campbell Hall, UCSB, on Wednesday, November 2, at 7:30 p.m. For more information, visit artsandlectures.sa.ucsb .edu. —Richie DeMaria

Turf by artbark international “We’re influenced by the places we go and the experiences we’ve collected, and at some point you feel the urge to pause and celebrate your accomplishments,” says Misa Kelly, reflecting on her impending two-decade anniversary as a noteworthy contributor to the Santa Barbara dance landscape. “Honoring that commitment in a boutique setting with family and friends felt like the right fit for me at this moment in time.” Kelly is describing a new chapter in her career, filled with specialized projects and an international persuasion inspired by the company’s work abroad over the last few years. “There used to be a time when I would say yes to everything,” she recalls, “and now, sustainable, enriching relationships are what my creative soul craves. It’s important for an artist to feel comfortable in their own skin.” This fall, Kelly is partnering with seven other choreographers from Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and New York for the creation of “eight individual expressions from like-minded artists” in a mini-tour that includes a performance at the Pieter space in L.A., a master class offering with co-collaborator Barbara Mahler at the Montecito School of Ballet, and an intimate performance at the Gail Towbes Center for Dance. Kelly’s season premiere signals a new model in her desire to transfer the wisdom and experience of her expansive career into viable solutions for the next generation of emerging artists. “I want to develop production services for those artists on the brink of staging and touring their work,” she offers, “something they don’t necessarily assist you with as a dance student.” When asked what single piece of advice she might offer a young choreographer, her response was quick and decisive: “Always have a solo in your back pocket. You never know who might come knocking on your door.” Sunday, November 6, 6 p.m., at the Gail Towbes Center for Dance (2285 Las Positas Ave.). Call 898-9526 or see artbark.org.

PATIENT PERSISTENCE: With time and patience, S.L.O.’s Lox Chatterbox has attracted the attention from renowned artists such as Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, and E-40 with his Central Coast beats.

WHAT A

HALLOWEEKEND! by Richie DeMaria

LOX ROX: As if you needed a reminder, it’s that time of year again, when the

ghosts run amok and terrors from the underworld return to Earth to claim their annual sacrifice of human blood, and we, fancifully, wear costumes and seek out the best parties. The days leading up to All Hallows’ Eve from this publication date offer multiple opportunities for mask testing, should you be overflowing with costume ideas or, in my case, struggling to think of one. The tricks and treats start tonight, Thursday, October 27, at M8RX Nightclub, with Ghost in the Machine, a Halloween-themed event put on by Sound & Society and the UCSB DJ Club, featuring Lox Chatterbox, A Boy & A Girl, Sir. Roscoe, and deejays from the UCSB DJ Club (9pm, 409 State St.). Even if you don’t yet know Lox Chatterbox by name, it’s likely you’ve heard him before. Whether it’s in a Snoop Dogg collaboration or a beat that’s landed a licensing spot with the NBA or TNT, the San Luis Obispo–based rapper and hip-hop and EDM producer has touched on all kinds of projects and productions, stretching beyond the seclusion of the S.L.O. coast to ears worldwide. “It’s hard to come out of the Central Coast; it’s a little tucked away from the rest of the world,” said Lox, who has diligently and dedicatedly worked at his craft since he was 15 years old. Staying humble and keeping expectations realistic, he said, has kept him in the game for so long.“It keeps you from having those crashing moments or feeling hopeless; you don’t get your bubble popped.” Lox grew up in Bakersfield before moving to S.L.O. as a teenager, and he was struck by the picturesque postcard town he found himself in.“I moved from a really shitty part of town to this beautiful dream town where everything was out of a movie, you know?” he said. Yet he felt alienated, so he turned to music in his private hours, wherein his output took on a shining and positive attitude from his new climes. The gradual climb to recognition has come with its costs, soul-taxes that Lox has artfully addressed in his new work, How to Sell Your Soul. Any endeavor, he lamented, seems to come with some kind of compromise of self.“We think from the purest beginnings; we all get into what we want to do, thinking from the purest viewpoint” until the complications of everyday reality show us how little we feel able to actualize.“You wanted to be a doctor to help people; 10 years later you’re just prescribing shit people are paying you to give samples out — little things that you compromise your morals on in order to just pay the bills.” But through music comes liberation; even at a cost, a sense of joy and optimism comes through. With patience and persistence, it’s paying off. Hear Lox tonight, and let your spirits rise from their routine deadness.

CALLING ALL DANCING SKELETONS: There’s plenty more musical candy to

grab from the outstretched bowl of the beckoning weekend. If Friday night’s all right for a drive up the 154, wear your best costume to Cold Spring Tavern, where area indie rockers The Agreeables showcase their more than agreeably great rock (7pm, 5995 Stagecoach Rd.). It might rain, so what a charming place to cozy up! Saturday’s got plenty more goodies. Area nerd-rocker masterminds Nerf Herder will be joined by The Mormons with a costume contest at Velvet Jones (8pm, 423 State St.). If you were planning on dressing ’80s style, the Molly Ringwald Project will host a decade-themed dance party at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (9:30pm, 1221 State St.). And on Halloween itself, dance sensation Nghtmre takes on the Earl Warren Showgrounds (6pm, n 3400 Calle Real) — hope you’re not scared of dancing!

he big stage at the Granada made an ideal platform for this bold take on the lives of two great American dancers, Frank and Yolanda Veloz. Using a pair of large folding screens as surfaces on which to project images and places for dancers to enter from while already onstage, the production moved Presented by State Street Ballet. At the rapidly through a wide Granada Theatre, variety of locations, Sat., Oct. 22. following Veloz and Yolanda from their humble origins in the dance halls of New York City to the height of their fame onstage at the Hollywood Bowl. Two aspects of this approach stood out. One was the energy and interest generated by the ensemble. Combining traditional ballet technique with steps borrowed from such popular dances of the day as the Charleston, the company thrilled the audience with expert partnering and made us all laugh with some very clever character sequences. At the core of the show, there was the extraordinary work of dancers Leila Drake and Jack Stewart in the leading roles. Stewart’s calm, elegant presence never faltered, and Drake was magical in re-creating Yolanda’s signature move, a spin that begins with flying revolutions and ends with her landing in a full lunge. When the two danced behind a scrim showing the original pair dancing on film, the audience sent up a gasp of excitement in recognition of how closely they matched their models, both in form and spirit. —Charles Donelan

efore the lights went down, never mind out, at the Lobero Theatre on Friday, October 21, the noir-ish atmosphere of this innovative cabaret was well established. Performers circulated among the patrons, offering to share beverAt the Lobero Theatre, ages, or in one case, to “get you anything you Fri., Oct. 21. need.”The latter remark came from a fashionably shady fellow named Sebastian, who opened his jacket to reveal a thief’s cornucopia of glittering watches and other items, all pinned to the lining like something out of a gangster film. Although these

Brian Harwell touches and Jennifer Smithwick’s charming spoken introduction served to set the stage, what came afterward easily transcended even the most outrageous immersive strategies. With Brian Harwell acting as a kind of silent narrator, the night roared along, moving from one spectacular dance number to another — some on the floor, others in the air. Kerrilee Gore’s distinctive brand of contemporary dance has never looked better, and Autumn Phillips’s performance on the aerial silks was stunning, a breathtaking example of where the cutting edge of this art form is headed. —CD david bazemore

otherworldly, and these fine musicians capture every one of these aspects in distinctive, passionate renditions of these works. Mark Steinberg was very impressive on the violin sonata with pianist Jonathan Biss; his playing was relaxed yet crystal clear at every tempo. Biss is one of the great pianists of his generation, and he delivered a memorably passionate account of the piano sonata Opus 111, one of the greatest (and strangest!) musical compositions of all time. The final piece, the Quartet, while not as extreme in pushing the boundaries of the form as some of the other high-numbered opuses, was nevertheless an ideal capstone to this monumental chamber program. —CD

f life were a John Hughes movie, Wild Nothing would play the soundtrack. The indie dream pop band put on a casual show at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club Tuesday, October 18, and although they held a low-key stage presence, the college-aged crowd was enamored of the band’s heartwarming, sometimes heart-wrenching songs about what it’s like to be young and in love. Wild Nothing’s musical genre can be described as organic soft-rock; the blend of synthesizer and frontman Jack Tatum’s enchanting voice is the new soundtrack for American teenagers. Even though their songs can be hard to tell apart, it’s music to get lost in — close your eyes, and sway away the pains of At SOhO impending adulthood. Restaurant & Music Club, The most entertaining Tue., Oct. 18. part of the show was when Tatum forgot the chorus to “Disappear Always,” a tune the band doesn’t usually play live.“Not gonna lie,” he confessed. “I smelled waffles for like 30 seconds”; it turned out that a fan was smoking a waffleflavored vape. Tatum’s charm truly showed when he got show-goers to harmonize to the dreamy “Summer Holiday.” The band played its most well-known song, “Shadow,” last while the crowd jumped up and down gleefully, turning the frowns most of the hipsters had worn throughout the night to grins. Wild Nothing closed the show with the hypnotic “To Know You,” highlighting the band’s unique ability to combine rock and pop in a way that isn’t heard on the radio. It would make a great ending song to a 1980s romantic comedy. — Savanna Mesch

ith downtown Los Angeles seemingly sprouting a new art museum or gallery district every few months, it can be hard to remember that well before L.A. became a hotbed of art making and collecting, Santa Barbara was known as the most artistic city in the state south of At Sullivan Goss, San Francisco. With this an American new exhibit, Sullivan Goss Gallery. Shows aims to right that skewed through Dec. 31. impression and teach us to hold our heads up with pride in Santa Barbara’s profound influence on the art of our time. Fittingly, the show begins with works by Henry Chapman Ford, the city’s first wellknown resident artist and an influential figure in the Mission Revival. Ford traveled to all the missions of California in a horse and buggy, and used his skills as a painter and illustrator to reimagine what were at the time the ruins of an earlier era as the template for a new way of life. From there the show fills in the end of the 19th century with a series of splendid paintings by John Sykes, an Englishman who moved to Santa Barbara and responded to the beauty not only of the mission, but also of the coastline. His views of Castle Rock make an excellent entry into the sophisticated shoreline images of Lockwood de Forest, a transcendent early celebrator of the shoreline. Following de Forest, the scene explodes with sophistication. Douglass Parshall’s 1932 painting of “Two Figures” combines neoclassicism with intimations of the burgeoning influence of surrealism. Channing Peake’s muralist tendencies are brilliantly reflected in his 1959 study for the mural in the Santa Barbara Public Library. An abstraction by Irma Cavat that predates her turn to representation signals the arrival of modernism and the UCSB Art Department. Before abstraction can become dominant, however, Ray Strong arrives and reinvents en plein air landscape. In coming weeks the show will expand to reach the present when another room opens featuring artists who are working today. The whole enterprise is a highly worthwhile exploration of our city’s distinctive visual culture. — CD

ScREEningS O Tower

(96 mins., NR)

Director Keith Maitland offers a beguilbeguil ing spin on the making of a murder documentary, retelling the story of the 1966 mass murder at the University of Texas at Austin in a mostly animated mode sprinkled with archival footage and modern-day witness accounts (incidentally, resembling Waking Life by Austin grad Richard Linklater). The human toll matters: Sniper Charles Whitman is portrayed only by the eerie crackle of gunfire, and the detachment of the animated/graphic-novelistic format lends an otherworldly, mythic ambience, contrary to modern crime kitsch. Apart from the chilling social implications of the tragedy—long before Columbine, let alone Isla Vista— Vista Tower is a fascinating, creative variation on the documentary form as we have known it.

Life gets dicey when a Treasury agent (J.K. Simmons) closes in on his dodgy dealings. John Lithgow and Anna Kendrick also star. Camino Real/Metro 4

Deepwater Horizon (107 mins., PG-13) Mark Wahlberg stars as Mike Williams in this biographical thriller about the 2010 explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that killed 11 employees and spewed petroleum from the sea floor for 87 days.

Fairview/Metro 4

Keeping Up with the Joneses Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (118 mins., PG-13)

In this sequel, Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise) returns to his old military unit headquarters only to find that he’s been accused of a murder that occurred 16 years ago. Reacher must untangle and expose the government conspiracy to clear his name. Camino Real/Metro 4 Keeping Up with the Joneses (105 mins., PG-13) This is yet another movie in which a mild-mannered couple’s quaint existence and boring sex lives are upended by a new, untouchably attractive pair of neighbors who clearly have some mysterious business up their sleeves. Seemingly designed for in-flight movie status — when your mind is desperate for anything resembling entertainment over endless overcast seas — this hardly funny piece is only occasionally redeemed with chuckling moments of Zach Galifianakis’s milquetoast melancholy. Otherwise, this action-in-nameonly flick is duller than a white picket fence and more offensive to taste than any quirk your neighbor may be hiding. (RD) Camino Real/Paseo Nuevo A Man Called Ove (116 mins., PG-13) The dramedy out of Sweden tells the story of Ove, a grumpy man who doesn’t get along with anyone in his neighborhood. Then new neighbors move in across the street, and an unexpected friendship is kindled.

Riviera

Denial (110 mins., PG-13) Denial, a historical drama about Deborah Lipstadt’s agonizing legal battle with Holocaust denier David Irving, provokes questions about the malleability of free speech, truth, and history. The film gets off to a slow beginning but shows potential when the two meet in court. Rachel Weisz, Timothy Spall, and Tom Wilkinson give the film the intensity one would expect from a drama, but it lacks an element of surprise or mystery. (SM) Plaza de Oro

O Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (127 mins., PG-13) At last, a movie for kids and teens that shows the world in its weirdness. Here,

there are peculiar children with ravenous mouths on the back of their heads and eyeless youths who die mysteriously while time-traveling Nazi bombs fall. Aesthetically, the movie is well made and tailored to Tim Burton’s whimsy, and lead actor Asa Butterfield makes a great brooding teen. It’s a fine fable, and more imaginative than most recent movies for this demographic have been. (RD)

Fairview (2D)/Fiesta 5 (2D)

Ouija: Origin of Evil (99 mins., PG-13) Set in 1967 Los Angeles, this prequel to the 2014 supernatural horror film Ouija sees a single mother and her daughters dabble with a Ouija board with horrifying consequences.

Camino Real/Fiesta 5

Queen of Katwe (124 mins., PG) This biopic tells the story of chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi, who, despite growing up in the Ugandan slum of Katwe, becomes a Women’s Chess Olympian.

(96 mins., PG-13)

Tom Hanks plays Chesley Sullenberger, the beloved pilot who in 2009 crashlanded a U.S. Airways flight in the Hudson River, saving all aboard. Much of the humbly tempered movie concentrates on Sully’s behind-the-scenes wrangling with PTSD and insurance suits who grill him on his competency. In the end, heroism triumphs in a gently inspiring if crowd-pleasingly dull way, and Sully is a welcome reminder of unambiguous human goodness. (RD) Fiesta 5 Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween (103 mins., PG-13) Madea (Tyler Perry) is up to her eyes in mayhem watching her great-niece Tif Tiffany and a group of deviant teens while fending off poltergeists, ghosts, and zombies on Halloween.

a&e | Rob bRezsny’s fRee will astRology week of octobeR 27 ARIES

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I invite you to fantasize about what your four great-grandmothers and four great-grandfathers may have been doing on November 1, 1930. What? You have no idea how to begin? You don’t even know their names? If that’s the case, I hope you’ll remedy your ignorance. Your ability to create the future you want requires you to learn more about where and whom you came from. Halloween costume suggestion: your most interesting ancestor.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): At any one time, more than two million frozen human embryos are stored in tissue banks throughout Europe and North America. When the time is right, their owners retrieve them and bring them to term. That’s the first scenario I invite you to use as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks. Here’s a second scenario: Scotch whisky is a potent mind-altering substance. Any particular batch must mature for at least three years and may be distilled numerous times. There are currently 20 million barrels of the stuff mellowing in Scottish warehouses. And what do these two scenarios have to do with you? It’s time to tap into resources that you’ve been saving in reserve — that haven’t been ripe or ready until now. Halloween costume suggestions: a woman who’s nine months pregnant; a blooming rose or sunflower; ripe fruit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): To create a bottle of cabernet sauvignon, a winemaker needs about 700 grapes. Compare this process with rain-making. When water vapor that’s high in the sky becomes dense enough, it condenses into tiny pearls of liquid called cloud droplets. If the humidity rises even further, a million of these babies might band together to form a single raindrop that falls to earth. And what does this have to do with your life? I suspect that in the coming weeks, you will have both an affinity and a skill for processes that resemble wine-making and rain-making. You’ll need a lot of raw material and energetic effort to pro-

duce a relatively small marvel — but that’s exactly as it should be. Halloween costume suggestion: a raindrop or bottle of wine.

CANCER

precision! Halloween costume suggestions: ancient Greek orator Demosthenes, Martin Luther King Jr.,Virginia Woolf, Sojourner Truth, rapper MC Lyte, Winston Churchill.

(June 21-July 22): Some Brazilians eat the heads of piranhas in the belief they’re aphrodisiacs. In Zimbabwe, women may make strategic use of baboon urine to enhance their allure. The scientific name for Colombia’s leaf-cutter ant is hormiga culona, translated as “fat-assed ant.” Ingesting the roasted bodies of these critters is thought to boost sexual desire. Since you’re in a phase when tapping into your deepest erotic longings will be healthy and educational, you may want to adopt elements of the aforementioned love drugs to create your Halloween costume. Here are other exotic aphrodisiacs from around the world that you might be inspired by: asparagus, green M&Ms, raw oysters, wild orchids, horny goat weed.

LIBRA

LEO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During this Halloween season, you have cosmic permission to be a bigger, bolder, extra beguiling version of yourself. I trust you will express your deep beauty with precise brilliance and imagine your future with superb panache and wander wherever the hell you feel like wandering. It’s time to be stronger than your fears and wilder than your trivial sins. Halloween costume suggestion: the superhero version of yourself.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Do you know how to repair a broken zipper or patch a hole in your bicycle tire? Are you familiar with the art of caulking a bathtub or creating a successful budget? Can you compose a graceful thank-you note, cook a hearty soup from scratch, or overcome your pride so as to reconcile with an ally after an argument? These are the kinds of tasks I trust you will focus on in the coming weeks. It’s time to be very practical and concrete. Halloween costume suggestion: Mr. or Ms. Fix-It.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the film Terminator 2, Arnold Schwarzenegger played a benevolent android who traveled here from the future. As a strong, silent action hero, he didn’t need to say much. In fact, he earned $30,000 for every word he uttered. I’m hoping your speech will pack a comparable punch in the coming days. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that your persuasiveness should be at a peak. You’ll have an exceptional ability to say what you mean and mean what you say. Use this superpower with flair and

LATE

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s the prosperity-building phase of your cycle. Let’s celebrate! Let’s brainstorm! Are there rituals you can create to stimulate the financial lobes of your imagination, thereby expediting your cash flow? Here are a few ideas: (1) Glue a photo of yourself on a $20 bill. (2) Make a wealth shrine in your home. Stock it with symbols of specific thrills you can buy for yourself when you have more money. (3) Halloween costume suggestions: a giant bar of gold, a banker carrying a briefcase full of big bills, Tony Stark, Lady Mary Crawley, Jay Gatsby, Lara Croft, the Yoruban wealth goddess Ajé.

SCORPIO

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I won’t offer you the cliché “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Instead, I’ll provide alternatives. How about this, from the video game Portal 2:“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! Say,‘I don’t want your damn lemons!’” Or you could try this version from my friend Barney: “When life gives you lemons, draw faces on them like Tom Hanks did on his volleyball in the movie Cast Away, and engage them in sexy philosophical conversation.” Or consider this Brazilian proverb: “When life gives you lemons, make caipirinhas.” (Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail.) Suggestion: Play around with these themes to create your Halloween costume.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): All of us are creators and destroyers. It’s fun and healthy to add fresh elements to our lives, but it’s also crucial to dispose of things that hurt and distort us. Even your body is a hotbed of both activities, constantly killing off old cells and generating new ones. But in my understanding, you are now in a phase when there’s far more creation than destruction. Enjoy the exalted buzz! Halloween costume suggestions: a creator god or goddess, like the Greeks’ Gaia or Prometheus; Rainbow Snake from the Australian Aborigines; Unkulunkulu from the Zulus; or Coyote, Raven, or Spider Grandmother from indigenous North American tribes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1938, a chef named Ruth Wakefield dreamed up a brilliant invention: chocolate chip cookies. She sold her recipe to the Nestlé company in return for one dollar and a lifetime supply of chocolate. Maybe she was happy with that arrangement, but I think she cheated herself. And so I offer her action as an example of what you should NOT do. During the next 10 months, I expect you will come up with many useful innovations and intriguing departures from the way things have always been done. Make sure you get full value in return for your gifts! Halloween costume ideas: Thomas Edison, Marie Curie, Hedy Lamarr, Leonardo da Vinci, Temple Grandin, George Washington Carver, Mark Zuckerberg.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Speaking on behalf of the cosmic powers, I authorize you to escape dull realities and go rambling through the frontier. Feel free to fantasize twice as hard and wild as you normally do. Avoid literalists and realists who think you should be more like them. This is not a time to fuss over exacting details, but rather to soar above the sober nonsense and see as far as you can.You have permission to exult in the joys of wise innocence. Halloween costume suggestions: bohemian poet, mad scientist, carefree genius, brazen explorer. Homework: Scare yourself with your exquisite beauty. Freak yourself out by realizing how amazing you are. Testify at Freewillastrology.com.
