“I loved Japan,” our art director, Ben Ciccati, said when he reappeared after a short absence, covered capably by his EditPro cohorts. “First class on the Shinkansen (bullet train) is the ultimate ride.”

An impulsive trip spending nine days seeing the country by train with a couple of old friends placed him near a pachinko parlor in downtown Tokyo (pictured) as well as in Hiroshima — unforgettable on Halloween night — and walking the hills of Matsuyama and the narrow lanes of Kyoto as if in a dream. His notebook was filled with drawings by the time he returned. “My favorite thing,” he said, “was how people there are polite, helpful, and respectful to each other. Things are really clean there, too,” he commented. “I love clean windows, and their windows are enviably clean.”

UnITED FRonT: More than 2,000 Santa Barbarans of all different ages, races, shapes, colors, and sizes marched down State Street to protest the president-elect.

phoTo OF tHE WEEk

Red, White, Blue, and Mad S.B. ProteSterS Peacefully revolt againSt trumP and Hate

W

ords fail to describe the fear, fury, and frustration that has gripped Democrats since the election, though slogans festooned the signs carried at demonstrations held in Santa Barbara this past week.

UCSB students were the first to bolt off the couch when the election was called, gathering outside the dorms—while a few men shouted at women from the windows that they would rape them, wrote the Daily Nexus — and swarming out to Isla Vista through Pardall Tunnel. The crowd gathered 1,000 peaceful participants by the time they reassembled at Storke Plaza around 1:30 a.m.

Social media buzzed all night about high school walkouts: 500 Dos Pueblos students rallied on campus—with about 50 walking all the way to UCSB to join ongoing protests— and 300 at San Marcos High. At Santa Barbara High, students grabbed “Love” signs from last spring’s production of Hair as about 700 students streamed off campus at noon and funneled onto the green lawns at the Courthouse Sunken Gardens, where a group of visiting

by Jean Yamamura • photos by Paul Wellman

elementary students spontaneously began chanting,“Hil-la-ry! Hil-la-ry!”

Organizers kicked off the rally with the announcement, “We do not support Santa Barbara News-Press,” blocking coverage by the first paper in the country to endorse Trump.

Enthusiastic chants of “Fuck Donald Trump” broke out, though speakers stayed focused on the afflictions Trump’s administration would cause LGBTQ and immigrant communities.

Vice President–elect Mike Pence, now filling administrative positions as the head of Trump’s transition team, supported gay-to-straight “conversion” therapy in Congress and, as governor of Indiana, signed a bill last year that allowed “religious belief” to legitimize discrimination.

Out on State Street on Friday, Santa Barbara in Black reassembled its regular Friday noon vigil in front of the Museum of Art to silently protest Trump’s policies. The group is actively setting up a website to bring people, protesters, and resources together, said organizer Barbara Parmet.

And it was deafening in the Highway 101 underpass Saturday afternoon as more than

2,000 marchers in the United Against Hate movement chanted, cheered, and whistled their way down State Street from De la Guerra Plaza. Mixed in with “Love Trumps Hate” signs was the salty “Pussy Grabs Back.” Speakers called to the throng for the need to stand together in the face of a president-elect whose words “bring out all the bad” in the country, as one participant summarized, and sanction hostility toward minority communities.

A vice-chair of the area Republican Party, Greg Gandrud, said he was aware some people were disappointed by the election result but that President-elect Trump “is asking all Americans to come together as one nation.

We have a lot of problems to solve, and we really have to work together.” He added that he’s found Santa Barbara’s liberal partisans fairly intolerant—though he saw nothing to fear from a march. For instance, he’s asked his husband not to put a Trump sticker on his Jeep out of fear of vandalism after his Bush and Romney stickers were keyed.

ELECTIon Carpinteria City Council incumbents Fred Shaw and Wade nomura won their reelection bids over rival Bob Franco. Shaw commended Nomura’s “experience in land-use issues and architecture. We love it here, and if there’s change, it must suit this little beach town.” In the race for two seats on the Carpinteria Unified School District Board of Education, Maureen Foley Claffey beat Gary Blair, breaking up the widely endorsed platform formed by Blair and top vote-getter Rogelio Delgado, the only bilingual candidate.

LAW & DISoRDER Marilyn Morgan, the 83-year-old woman who went missing last month, was found dead in her car on 11/9, an apparent suicide. Morgan was discovered in Los Olivos, about 13 miles from her home at the independent living facility, Atterdag Village, in Solvang. A longtime victim of depression, Morgan drove off in her car without her belongings on 10/19 and never returned. Her friends at Atterdag were deeply saddened by the news of her death, said Pastor Chris Brown of Bethania Lutheran Church.

“We are all very sad she is gone,” he said.

Two fires were set on the 1200 block of State Street on 11/11. City Fire and Police responded to the first at Scarlett Begonia restaurant’s outdoor patio at 5:45 a.m., where paper and other debris in a planter were on fire. Later in the morning around 9:15, behind a construction fence at 1219 State Street, brown construction paper was burning when police and fire responded. No injuries or major damage were caused by either fire. Both are under investigation, said City Fire’s Ryan DiGuilio, an inspector and investigator, with several witnesses to the later morning fire. the public is asked to call the Fire Prevention Bureau at 564-5702 if they have knowledge of either fire.

A sweep of a Los Alamos home retrieved 23 dogs who were thought to be abandoned, according to the neighbor who called the county. the dogs had adequate food and water when a team of 10 from Animal Services went into the home but were living in “squalid and unlivable” conditions, County Public Health stated in a press release. the team checked the dogs, which were all in relatively good condition, and vaccinated them before taking them to the Santa Maria Animal Shelter.

grant was provided by Alkermes, an Irelandheadquartered biopharmaceutical company specializing in diseases of the central nervous system.

Santa Barbara Unified School District’s facilities bond success in the 11/8 election sets a course toward outfitting classrooms and administration buildings with state-of-theart networks and wireless access. the bandwidth upgrade will help close achievement gaps among students from various socioeconomic backgrounds, according to Superintendent Cary Matsuoka. At the 11/17 board meeting, which starts at 6:30 p.m. at 720 Santa Barbara Street, Matsuoka will introduce the district’s roadmap toward more “personalized learning” experiences that don’t dump every student into a once-size-fits-all curriculum. these new approaches will rely on modern learning tools, and the district aims to one day achieve a 1:1 student-to-device ratio.

CoUnTY After five separate fires swept Vandenberg Air Force Base in September, the launch facility received a “green” ready-to-go signal for the successful 11/11 liftoff of an Atlas v rocket carrying a Lockheed Martin DigitalGlobe WorldView-4 satellite. Base crews cleaned up fire retardant, washed and repaired power lines to restore redundant systems, and tested the launch facilities and infrastructure before range operations could commence. the satellite will circuit the sky every 90 minutes and provide high-resolution commercial imagery, including contributions to a 15-year library of time-lapse images, over more than 680,000 square kilometers of the Earth’s surface daily. n

Feds Sued again over Offshore Fracking

T

he Environmental Defense Center (EDC) and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper announced they are suing to block the federal Department of the Interior from issuing new permits for offshore fracking in Southern California and the Santa Barbara Channel, arguing that the environmental analysis conducted fails to meet minimum federal standards. The lawsuit targets the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), which concluded that fracking and ocean acidification pose no significant impact to the environment when it comes to air quality, water quality, or endangered species.

Linda Krop, EDC chief counsel, gave the environmental analysis “a 10” for inadequacy.

She argued that the regulatory agencies arrived at the“no impact” conclusion only by assuming there would be minimal fracking or acidification taking place in federal waters off the coast. Krop explained that in prior litigation involving the same issue, both ExxonMobil and the American Petroleum Institute, as intervenors, argued that fracking and acidification could generate substantial volumes of oil and gas. Likewise, Krop objected that the Department of Interior never consulted with agencies charged with protecting the 25 endangered species that could be affected.

Krop said the feds long denied any fracking had been taking place in coastal waters when it was subsequently revealed — by the EDC’s Freedom of Information Act request — that it has been an industry practice since the 1980s. Federal oversight agencies refused to require any environmental scrutiny before issuing fracking permits until sued by the EDC two years ago to do so. That litigation ultimately settled when the feds agreed to conduct a one-sizefits-all environmental analysis that could be applied to any and all requests for coastal fracking and acidification. That analysis was completed this past May and is the focus of this latest legal action.

Krop said that most of the fracking and acidification is taking place off the coast of Santa Barbara and San Pedro. It’s her belief that two permits have been issued since May. If successful, the EDC litigation would stop new permits until further environmental analysis has —Nick Welsh been completed.

S.B. clergy, chumash Bring Back Stories of Standing rock

by Tyler Hayden

I

t was hard for Reverend Julia Hamilton

to not get angry. The lead minister of the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara traveled to North Dakota last week to bear witness to the months-long standoff between state police and Native American tribes protesting the construction of an oil pipeline near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. Tribal elders had warned Hamilton, along with 500 other participating religious leaders from all over the world, that they would see things they would want to hate. But it was important, the elders said, to hold onto their compassion for everyone involved — even Solange Aguilar the men in riot gear.

Soon after, Hamilton watched a small band of shirtless demonstrators—who call themselves the “water protectors,” as they fear the 1,100-mile pipeline carrying Bakken crude will pollute the Missouri River and its tributaries —wade across a stream to reach a sacred burial site on the opposite shore occupied by construction crews. The police were swift and brutal. “I was struck by the disproportionate response,” Hamilton said. “It’s one thing to arrest someone. It’s another thing to tear gas them, shoot them with rubber bullets, and throw them in the back of a van.”

In her four days at Standing Rock, sleeping in a tent among more than 200 native tribes in their main Oceti Sakowin camp, Hamilton saw more ugliness. But she saw beauty and determination, too.“I was struck by the seriousness of purpose mixed with a deep sense of gratitude for the Earth,” she said. “And the whole place was infused with prayer.” The camp awoke at 6:30 every morning to a morning prayer following by water blessings and ceremonial singing. The clergy gathered in a circle one day to repudiate and burn copies of the Doctrine of Discovery —the papal bull that mandates the forcible conversion of native people. All the while, a police surveillance plane buzzed overhead.

Mostly, Hamilton listened. She heard the Sioux and their supporters talk about their survival and the protection of their

sacred lands. She heard them appealing to the humanity of the police and the pipeline operators, to recognize the risk all North Dakotans would face if oil seeped into the Missouri. And they decried the continued dumping of environmentally risky projects on native people; the path of the $3.8 billion pipeline was previously moved away from neighboring Bismarck because it was deemed too much of a threat to the city’s drinking water.

“Asking the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to accept the pipeline would be like asking us here in Santa Barbara to accept a pipeline built under Lake Cachuma that also needed to run through part of the Santa Barbara Cemetery,” said Hamilton.

“Why should we expect other people to allow in their community what we would be unwilling to allow in ours?”

In September, Carpinteria resident Solange Aguilar and a delegation of a dozen Chumash people delivered four truckloads of supplies to the camps. As a frigid Midwest winter sets in, neither side is showing signs of backing down, so the protesters are outfitting teepees and tents with heating and insulation and stocking up on food and clothing.

Aguilar and her group felt great apprehension on their way to North Dakota as the few media reports they’d watched had focused on conflict and violence. “But when we got there, the sun was setting, and it was one of the most beautiful places I’d ever seen,” she said.

“All these nations—thousands of people,” Aguilar went on, “everyone was so welcoming, so warm and kind.” As is customary, Aguilar and the other Chumash announced their arrival and their purpose, and then distributed supplies before praying at the water’s edge. On the frontlines facing the police, Aguilar met a descendent of Sitting Bull. He told her to take the Standing Rock fire back to her people. Keep telling their story, he said, and don’t let it fade.“We’ve been doing that ever since,” said Aguilar. “Winter is coming. They need to be remembered.”

Chief, Sheriff Vow departments Won’t Become trump deportation Forces

resident-elect Donald Trump stoked a lot of fear in a lot of hearts when he campaigned on the promise to create a deportation force that would round up and remove any and all undocumented immigrants living in the United States. On Sunday, he told 60 Minutes he plans to immediately deport two million to three million immigrants with criminal records.“Gang members, drug dealers,” he said.“We have a lot of these people.” Trump has used the two million figure before, but federal authorities question its accuracy. Data from the Department of Homeland Security and the Migration Policy Institute shows there are 1.9 million “removable criminal aliens” in the U.S., a category that includes any noncitizen with a criminal conviction — both legal residents and undocumented immigrants. Of that number, about 820,000 are undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of a crime.

This Tuesday, Santa Barbara Police Chief Lori Luhnow attempted to calm worries that city cops could become part of Trump’s sweeping deportation raids. “The Santa Barbara Police Department is committed to protecting everyone’s rights, regardless of immigration status,” Luhnow said in a prepared statement.“Our department policies related to immigration have not changed as a result of recent elections. We will continue to arrest and seek prosecution of anyone who has committed a crime in Santa Barbara, but the immigration status alone of individuals in Santa Barbara is NOT a matter for police action.” Luhnow stressed the need for inclusive, thoughtful dialogue and collaboration between the public and the department. “I am, and your police officers are, committed to providing service that meets our community values,” she said.

Sheriff Bill Brown reiterated the same points, explaining that as a general rule, the Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office “does not participate in deportation investigations and enforcement actions involving people who are solely undocumented and not in violation of any criminal statutes.” And that’s as it should be, he said. “The immigrant community shouldn’t think law enforcement is going to deport them if they come to us and report a crime or are the victim of a crime.” However, Brown went on, the Sheriff’s Office has a duty to target criminals, regardless of their citizenship status, and to cooperate with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the deportation of “criminal aliens.” “I think even other immigrants would agree that predators who endanger lives have no place here and should be deported from our country,” he said.

According to the Census Bureau’s 2011 American Community Survey, more than 103,000 immigrants live in Santa Barbara County, which accounts for nearly a quarter of its popula—Tyler Hayden tion. Estimates suggest just over 39,000 of them are undocumented.

in Santa Barbara, thought Democrats could take heart in their wins of the 24th Congressional District, State Assembly, and 3rd District county supervisor seats.

She believed all Americans, including the protesters, would benefit from a stronger economy under Trump, with “more people in the work force with good-paying jobs and a move away from socialism toward capitalism.” Trump’s visit with Obama “went better than expected,” she wrote in an email, and the transition was going well.

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla issued scathing words about immigration adviser Kris Kobach, author of Arizona’s failed “papers, please” law for anyone who looked “foreign.” Trump’s “energy independence” advisers are lobbyists for oil and gas companies—Halliburton and Koch Industries among them, according to Politico—and the naming of climate skeptic Myron Ebell to transition the Environmental Protection Agency has prompted a petin tion to the White House to stop him.

GETTIn’ DoWn: dancers boogie to the Anthony prieto Band at La casa de la raza’s 45th anniversary celebration.

la CaSa tuRnS 45 Bankruptcy Haunts the Party L

by Kelsey Brugger

ast Friday night, La Casa de La Raza celebrated its 45th anniversary with three Latino bands and a decent crowd. Frank Ramirez, a longtime Santa Barbara deejay, found himself remembering the 1980s, when he began performing at the Montecito Street community center.

“It has been a mainstay,” he said.

With deep roots in Chicano activism, La Casa is more crucial than ever in this increasingly divided world, supporters say.

But as the financially embroiled Eastside hub trudges through bankruptcy proceedings, its future remains uncertain.

Enter Ed St. George. A developer known for his prolific collection of student housing complexes, St. George hopes to purchase La Casa’s mortgage note from founding member Tomas Castelo. When Castelo bought the note last September from Fidelity Mortgage Lenders, La Casa management rejoiced.

After nearing the auction block multiple times, they thought they were in the clear.

But when Castelo indicated he would keep them in foreclosure and demanded they reveal their financial records, they sued him and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Now, Castelo said he is not willing to sell the note to anyone who does not share his vision for La Casa’s future, like St. George, “who would just take a bulldozer to the building.”

It is no secret La Casa has faced fiscal challenges for a long time. According to bankruptcy documents, La Casa owes nearly $120,000 in tax claims and about $540,000 to Castelo. A recent appraisal found the building at 601 East Montecito Street is worth $2.2 million.

“The current financial problems aren’t going to be resolved by a new lender at a lower interest rate,” Castelo said, adding he has received feelers in the past from potential investors. “It’s my objective to nip it in the bud and work our way out of that hole.”

But Eric Bensamochan, La Casa’s bank-

ruptcy attorney, argued Castelo might not have a choice in selling the note, as bankruptcy judge Peter Carroll could order him to do so. According to Bensamochan, St. George has offered to loan the money at a 5 percent interest rate — much less than its current rate of 9.5.

The case returns to court early next month, when La Casa’s Chapter 11 reorganization plan will be reviewed before it is sent to its creditors for a vote.

In court filings, La Casa proposes to generate revenue by leasing some of its 26,000-square-foot space as storage units or office space for attorneys at a low cost in exchange for pro bono services.

“The fact that we are in bankruptcy has not stopped our programs,” said Raquel López, La Casa’s executive director. “We still have been able to keep our doors open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily,” and more than 2,000 people come through every month.

Lopez emphasized that La Casa mirrors the community’s needs; on Monday, they are hosting a post-election community forum.

“There are real, real fears about deportation,” she said. As for the finances, she admitted past struggles existed and argued that bankruptcy filings necessitate transparency.

Over the years, La Casa has offered afterschool programs, been rented out for parties or quinceañeras, and has served as a venue for Chicano theater and rock bands such as Los Lobos and Los Tigres del Norte. The dual-language elementary school César Chávez (now Adelante), as well as neighborhood health clinics, emerged out of it.

The same is true for community bike shop Bici Centro.

Others expressed wariness that the proposal to lease space will raise enough funds to pay back the loan. “You can’t do the same thing and expect different results,” said Jacqueline Inda, an Eastside advocate who described herself as the spokesperson for the initial founders, including Leo Martinez, cont’d on page 14 ~

Forty-five years ago, Leo Martinez convinced an executive at Bank of America to loan him $150,000 to buy an old warehouse. It was right after the infamous bank burning in Isla Vista, and Bank of America was looking to revamp its image, wrote Martinez in a brief history of La Casa de la Raza, which translates to “The House of the People.”

“At that time many of the people involved in the movement were single. I felt that there should be an organization for married people with kids that wanted to be involved,” Martinez wrote.“We would hold rummage sales and bake sales, have booths at local carnivals and fairs.”

But it has not been easy. When they celebrated Fiesta to raise money for a down payment on the building, Martinez wrote, some liberals would criticize them for celebrating the landing of Spaniards on the Santa Barbara shores. Likewise, early involvement by university students proved detrimental because “they were there for their own agenda.”

Mutual respect developed, though, he wrote. “My fond memories are of the hundreds of volunteers that would donate their time — gardeners, construction workers, doctors, lawyers, just everyone — even though many people still thought we were militant because they had never seen Chicanos organize themselves to do something positive.”

Should Ed St. George be able to purchase the note, “There is no chance of La Casa staying the way it is,” he said. “It has to go.”

Though he said he would probably not be the developer, St. George envisioned a multipurpose building: Perhaps a hotel with 12 to 20 family-style units on the second floor and a community center on the first. He suggested art exhibits could be tied to events; for instance, when Carlos Santana comes to the Santa Barbara Bowl, an art exhibit on his life could be featured. “When you go back to New York,” he said, “it’s that way with the Irish culture.”

As the Eastside changes — a new apartment complex recently went up on the empty lot across the street— street it is unlikely bands would continue to play there, he added.

OPIOID OF THE MASSES: I was standing in line at Rite-Aid. I needed heartburn medi-

cation for all the crow I’d been force-fed after Donald Trump was elected last week.

Whether he was effectively elected president or emperor has yet to be seen; in either case, I didn’t see it coming. Standing there, I was struck by the vast array of anti-constipation remedies displayed in the rack reserved for impulse purchases. Row upon row. The sheer volume and breadth of choice suggested what I’d known for a long time: America is already great. It also suggested something else I already knew: We are a nation of junkies, white collar and otherwise.

It’s a well-known fact that opioids induce constipation, an affliction that’s induced much wailing and gnashing of teeth among the beat poets for whom heroin addiction provided the requisite literary grit. For all the nonliterary types who need a little help dealing with the pain — physical, psychic, or all of the above—of getting through the day, opioid-induced constipation has now become a problem worthy of Big Pharma’s money-grubbing interventions. In other words, America is awash in an epidemic of constipation.

I suspect this has something to do with the sudden onslaught of crow in my diet. Due in large measure to opioids—coupled with alcohol poisoning and self-inflicted gunshot wounds — white males in the 50-years-andolder age bracket have experienced an actual

decline in life expectancy. We are the only demographic cohort dying off at an earlier age than those who came before. More accurately put, we are leaping off. One can speculate as to why—Rust Belt despair, among other factors—but the numbers suggest an even more troubling epidemic. Given that Donald J. Trump’s most loyal base happens to be this exact demographic—middle-aged white males — one might reasonably ponder a public health connection between mass constipation and the person the nation just elected president. Or put another way, was Trump elected by those who considered suicide when the rainbow was too damn much?

For those seeking reassurance, let me offer the cold comfort of Trump’s narcissistic nihilism. He believes nothing. He is allied with no one. He will throw anyone overboard.

In other words, deals can be made.

Here’s a warmer reassurance: At the same time Trump — who started his impossibly improbable journey by castigating Mexican immigrants as “rapists”—won the Electoral College, Santa Barbarians elected the first Latino to represent them in Congress, County Supervisor Salud Carbajal. It’s more than mere gesture. Carbajal, it’s worth noting, was born in Mexico. He emigrated to the United States at age 5. He’s one of them, now one of us.

Throughout his political career, Carbajal— a cautious, hardworking, middle-of-the-road liberal — has been excruciatingly careful not

to pigeonhole himself as a Latino activist politician. During the congressional campaign, Carbajal’s advisors worried he might experience a subliminally racist backlash among white voters, suffering, perhaps, the stubborn agonies of constipation. As a result, Carbajal assiduously avoided any references to this historic first Latino fact. But it’s a thing—a little thing perhaps but positive nonetheless, and especially so in the current context. When you think of the names who represented us before — Henry Elbert Stubbs, Hugh Steel Hersman, George Elmer Outland, Ernest King Bramblett, Elveris Anson Hayes — Salud Ortiz Carbajal stands out. The final numbers aren’t in yet, but it appears Carbajal benefited by a spike in turnout among Latino voters.

Running against Carbajal was Justin Donald Pagliuso Fareed, who thus far has gracelessly declined to acknowledge the obvious and concede defeat. Given that Fareed held an invitation-only election-night party and posted two voluminously sized bouncers to keep the riffraff out, gracelessness seems to be his modus operandi. It was evident on election night that Fareed’s goose was cooked, but he’s held vain hope that late-return ballots might salvage his effort. When they were counted, the gap widened from 15,000 to 19,000 and now appears to be hovering at 17,000. Two years ago, Republican candidate Chris Mitchum similarly refused to concede defeat to Democratic incumbent Lois Capps until 10 days after the election. Maybe it’s

another epidemic. Say what you want about Mitchum—and I did—he at least spoke with the reporters covering his race. Fareed and I stopped talking before we started, but he also cut off communications with the LA Times and the San Luis Obispo Tribune. Such flagrant pettiness and petulance rarely serves a candidate well.

Fareed made for a curious candidate. Passionate and energetic, he hummed along from the Trump hymnal but made a point to never sing any of the words, talking of fixing leaky pipes, for instance, but never building any walls. To do otherwise, Fareed would have opened himself to attack in a profoundly Trump-phobic district. Hillary Clinton beat Trump in Santa Barbara County by 40,000 votes. Given the massive turnout in Isla Vista, it’s doubtful even a graceful Fareed could have done much better. But two years hence, there will be no presidential campaign to rouse the Isla Vista giant. Fareed may try to run again.

I’m weary already.

In the meantime, Carbajal — the historical first—finds himself confronting the most virulently and cynically anti-immigrant administration of the last two centuries as a freshman member of the minority party, trying to find his way in what’s been charitably described as “a post-factual democracy.”

Carbajal wanted to be a congressmember in the worst possible way. He clearly got his wish.

Good luck, Salud; you’re gonna need it. See you in the Rite-Aid line.

n the end, the polls truly were off base: Donald Trump lost California by even more than expected.

Not since FDR trounced Alf Landon in 1936 has a GOP presidential candidate run worse here than Trump. He’s on track to collect less than one-third of California’s vote and, like Landon, managed the difficult feat of losing former Republican bastion Orange County.

All this is small solace, of course, to the plurality of Americans who handed Democrat Hillary Clinton a popular-vote victory, now expected at two million votes, while watching Trump capture the White House with a 306-232 Electoral College triumph, built on flipping three Rust Belt states into his column by a total of about 100,000 ballots.

Nonetheless, the Golden State’s overwhelming rejection of his hateful rhetoric, and us-versus-them politics, sets the stage for a formidable political challenge to the, gulp, president-elect: four years of bitter conflict with the deep blue nation-state of California.

As anti-Trump protests persist in streets and schools up and down the West Coast, and organizers roll out a pipe-dream “Calexit” secession plan, the state’s top elected officials have vowed to preserve and protect endangered people and progressive policies.

In a defiant day-after statement, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Senate President Kevin de León pledged to “lead the resistance to any effort that would shred our social fabric or our Constitution.”

“Today, we woke up feeling like strangers in a foreign land,” said Sacramento’s top legislative leaders, Latino Democrats in an increasingly Democratic and Latino state.

“We will not be dragged back into the past.”

As a policy matter, Trump’s collision course with California will manifest in at least three key areas: ImmIgratIon. Dramatic change in immigration policy was the centerpiece of the 45th president’s campaign: a huge wall on the Mexican border; the deportation of 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally; a reversal of President Obama’s executive orders on the issue.

Trump’s infamous wall likely will remain a fantasy because cost-cutting congressional Republicans won’t countenance its massive price tag. Far easier is a swift overturn of Obama’s DREAM Act–inspired order, which established the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Among other things, it’s allowed several hundred thousand people brought as children by parents who entered illegally, to live legally in California. He also may move to cut funding to state “sanctuary cities” that do not comply with federal immi-

gration guidelines. And he’s enlisted to his transition Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a high-profile, hard-core antiimmigration crusader who’s predicting a 75 percent increase in deportations in 2017.

Portending a bitter battle, California Democrats quickly rallied with immigrants in L.A., where Senator-elect Kamala Harris declared, “We’ve got your back.”

HealtH care. Covered California is viewed as the nation’s most successful model of the Affordable Care Act. Obamacare has cut the state’s uninsured ranks by half: More than one million consumers buy insurance through a subsidized health-care exchange, and four million poor adults receive new Medicaid benefits. However, it relies on about $20 billion of federal funds, and with Trump sending mixed signals about abolishing Obamacare, the state would face a grim crisis if millions lose insurance. envIronment. The environment represents the widest chasm between Team Trump and California. The state for eight years has worked closely with the White House on green and solar energy, increased use of electric vehicles, tougher efficiency standards, and other fossil-fuel alternatives, all of it now at risk.

Close to home, with no checks and balances on Republican policies in Washington, expect a new push to expand offshore drilling.

The starkest difference comes on climate change, which Trump has called “an expensive hoax.” He has recruited noted climate skeptic Myron Ebell for his transition and made a campaign commitment to pull out of the Paris Agreement—even as Governor Jerry Brown became a global leader on the issue, signing stacks of independent international agreements to slash future carbon emissions by 80 percent.

Post-election, Brown in one moment took a conciliatory tone with Trump; in the next, he promised a battle over “the existential threat of our time—devastating climate change.” a personal note. Along with both presidential campaigns and virtually every political reporter in the world, I trusted horse-race polls that foresaw a Clinton victory. Beyond that, however, my President Clinton forecast consistently rested on one extraordinary fact: Every pre-election survey (as well as Election Day exit polls) found that two-thirds of all voters said Trump was unfit to be president. Given that, I didn’t believe he could be elected—apologies for a failure — Jerry Roberts of imagination.

TUCK SAID IT: No, Hillary Clinton didn’t say

that after her bitter loss to Donald Trump last week. But political prankster Dick Tuck did after the former UCSB student lost his 1966 California Senate race.

But over the years, how many losing presidential candidates must have thought it? Especially the ones who won the popular vote but lost in the nightmare of the Electoral College — such as Hillary Clinton, according to the latest count, along with Al Gore. And going back to the 19th century, there’s Andrew Jackson, Samuel Tilden (who he?), and Grover Cleveland (not to be confused with Grover Cleveland Alexander, former pitcher for the Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, and Philadelphia Phillies).

So what’s going to happen when Mr. Trump goes to Washington? Well, he also predicted in a zillion campaign speeches how he plans to strike fear (or spread joy) in millions of hearts.

But, I’m reliably assured by the same experts who called Clinton a shoo-in that he will not blow up the world right away. But it will look like a very different world in ways few can make out.

Here are things to come — horrifying to many, cheered by others.

ADIOS, ROE V. WADE: Trump gets to fill the

U.S. Supreme Court vacancy resulting from the death of Antonin Scalia, and future vacancies. Three justices are 78 or older. GOP eyes are on Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 83, hoping to

read about her retirement or obit in the Washington Post. The Roe-Wade abortion ruling has been hanging by a thread for years.

Trump’s conservative appointment will have no trouble getting through the GOPmajority Senate.

FRACK YOU! Trump has made it clear that

he’ll go gung-ho for Big Oil and Big Coal, even if they have to pump a gazillion gallons of toxic waste into the aquifers to get the goo.

RACISM: Now that Trump’s off the campaign

trail, will he lighten up on the anti-Latino racism? What’s to be gained?

HANG THE POLLSTERS? Hell, yes, they

were all (almost all) wrong. I believed them, everyone (almost) believed them — even campaigns. Where they went wrong will be

ADIOS, OBAMACARE: Under one-party rule,

ADIOS, UNDOCUMENTED PEOPLE:

Mary Ann Greene 06/06/22-11/09/16 Mary Vaughan Sebastian passed away at home surrounded by family, on Saturday, November 12th at the age of 82. Mary was born February 26, 1934 to Maude ("Mickey") and John Edmund (“Ed”) Vaughan in Milwaukee Wisconsin. She grew up in Milwaukee attending St. Sebastian's grade school, Holy Angels High School and Marquette University.

Mary was pre-deceased by her husband Tom and her six siblings; Bob, Tom, Patsy and Joanie Vaughan, Jean Scheiner and Nancy Sipperly. Tom and Mary met on a blind date arranged by a very dear friend; they married in 1958 and enjoyed a full and loving life together until Tom's passing in 1994.

They began their journey together in Milwaukee and in 1972 were relocated to Santa Barbara, California. While juggling the lives of their kids, Mary also found time to work at Sears in La Cumbre Plaza, Pacific Coast Airlines and the Santa Barbara Airbus.

Mary and Tom were blessed with four children; Patty Charest (Michel), Diane Pestolesi (Tom), Steve Sebastian (Betsy Jones) and Joni Galvan (Michael) and eleven grandchildren, Chris and Kelly Charest, Tommy, Kari (Brad Hemmerling) and Danny Pestolesi, Katie, Ben and Emma Sebastian and Riley Schoen, Sebastian and Dax Galvan. As the family grew, so did all the joyous and on occasion "crazy" family get-togethers. Mary loved to cook in quantities for everyone. She would always say, "feel free" which took many friends by surprise until they realized she was talking about the food that was left on the table!

Mary and Tom were huge supporters of their kids and grandkids. From St. Plus X grade school in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin to Bishop Diego High School, to University of Hawaii and all points in between, they loved being there to cheer on their victories and to console them on their defeats.

Mary enjoyed playing golf with all her good friends, especially Rosemary Shull, Kathleen Bottiani and Janelle Clark. They prided themselves on being the longest running foursome in the oldest golf tournament in the county, the Bishop Diego Bob Morelli Golf Tournament.

Mary's family is very grateful for all the prayers, cards, love and support over the past year. A very special thank you to Dr. Richard Ponce and caregivers, April Noriega and Gladys Munoz.

Thanks to the staff at Goleta and Santa Barbara Cottage Hospitals, Valle Verde Health Center, Central Coast Home Health and Assisted Home Health and Hospice.

Mary Ann Greene, 94, peacefully passed from this world on Wednesday, November 9, 2016. She was born in Santa Barbara on June 6, 1922 to Richard and Genevieve Pitman, and spent her childhood living on Valerio Street with her siblings Richard, Elizabeth, and John. She attended Santa Barbara High School and Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. In 1945 she married Air Force Captain Roy Frank Fowler, Jr., whom she met while volunteering at the Hoff General Hospital for servicemen during WWII. Together they had two children. Tragically, Roy Fowler, Jr. was killed in an accident in 1951 while training pilots after the war.

Later she met Paul Anthony Greene, a home builder and co-founder of Motel 6 whom she married in 1956. They built a home on Miramar Beach and lived there together for 38 years until Paul’s death in 1994. Mary Ann loved to travel, ride horses, play tennis and bathe in the sun. She spent many happy years with her family and friends at the beach, family ranches, and favorite vacation spots in Lake Tahoe, Hawaii, Palm Springs, and Arizona. Mary Ann was a thoughtful, giving person, and volunteered as a Pink Lady with St. Francis Hospital in Santa Barbara, as well as with the National Charity League and the Santa Barbara County Cow Belles. But nothing made Mary Ann happier than being surrounded by the generations of her family. She loved her view of the ocean from her living room, and in her last years spent most afternoons watching the parade of friends and beach goers pass by. It was there that she died peacefully in her sleep as she had always wanted. Nothing can soothe our sadness, other than the knowledge that she lived a long, wonderful life, full of great experiences and loving family and close friends.

Mary Ann is survived by her sister-inlaw Harriet Pitman; her eight children, Harry (Helen) Fowler, Roy Fowler III (Molissa Fenley), Craig Greene (Linda Borkowski), Peter Greene (Johanna Lambert), Danielle (Harold) Welch, Shane (Alejandra) Greene, Tony

Ernest Sturm

08/21/32-10/28/16

French novelist Crébillon fils, on whom he published three books, and contributed frequently to the debate over the importance of Existentialism, he did not confine himself to academic outlets. He published a novel (in French) and a play that was produced by the UCSB College of Creative Studies. He also translated into French two volumes of criticism by the Dean of Comparative Literature studies, René Wellek, both of which received great praise for the quality of the French prose. For his efforts on behalf of France, the French government awarded him a knighthood in the rank of Chevalier in the Order of the Academic Palms in 1991, and a year later he was elevated to the rank of Officer.

The academic life, in which he enjoyed so much success, played a secondary role in Ernest’s existence to the exercise of his fundamental principle: autonomy. He prided himself on scouting out all the hidden treasures of Paris, to which he then introduced his friends. His knowledge of Santa Barbara, from Montecito to Milpas, was legendary and facilitated by slow meanderings in his car, whether the old station wagon with holes in the floor boards, or the shiny new Prius. He would also attend many musical events in the Santa Barbara area because he was an accomplished pianist and lover of the classics.

Ernest was a “character” in the best sense, a brilliant mind occasionally put to the service of hilarious pranks.

He was unforgettable as a mentor, a friend, and a colleague. He is survived by his wife Fuka, her son Boris, his wife Marie, and their two children who will miss him mightily.

Glen Larry Douglas 11/25/53-10/20/16

Ernest Sturm passed away in the French Alps town of Montaimont in the early morning of October 28, 2016 with his wife Fuka at his side. Born in Vienna, Ernest’s family escaped the Nazis by first moving to Bogota, Colombia, and then settling in New York City. Ernest was a graduate of Brown University (1955) and NYU Law School (1959), and practiced law in New York City and Washington, D.C. for a number of years. He then turned his attention to French literature and earned a PhD in Romance Languages from Columbia University in 1967. He joined the UCSB French Department in 1966 and retired in 2011.

Ernest was one of the most popular teachers in the UCSB Humanities division and in the College of Creative Studies, attracting particularly inquisitive students to such courses as “The Power of Negative Thinking.” In 2001 Ernest was nominated by his students for an Academic Senate Distinguished Teaching Award. Everyone found him to be a mine of information on the leading figures in French contemporary philosophy and literature, most of whom he knew personally since he spent entire summers in Paris.

He was also especially appreciated for the high quality of his writing.

While he was the world’s acknowledged expert on the 18th-century

On a bright and beautiful sunny Thursday afternoon, Larry canoed off to the great mountain in the sky. Surrounded by family and friends playing music, dancing and sweet Rima singing him to sleep.

He was born in Santa Barbara on Nov. 25, 1953 to Eugene A. Douglas and Priscilla Elston Douglas. He is survived by his neice Elenah Elston of Laytonville, CA the Douglas-Taylor family, the O'Connell family of Santa Barbara, the Ahola family and hundreds of friends all over the planet.

Larry always followed his own path and moved to Laytonville, CA 38 years ago where he created a magical life high in the hills. He spent his days farming, carving wood and stones and hanging out with his favorite friends, the deer, the bears and the lizards.

In Laytonville he acquired countless friends that he considered "family."

On Oct. 20 we lost a very special

man, a friend, a cousin, a nephew, an uncle, a "dad," a brother and one of the greatest mentors to us all. He will be missed each and every day. Remember Larry laughing, smiling and telling silly jokes. He wold want us to always be kind to one another and love and help eachother at all times just as he did. Thank you Larry for showing us the way!

Do you know why farmers always dress up as pirates for Halloween? So they can keep an eye on their patch!

Kimberly “Kim” Darrell Aylesworth 05/08/35-10/17/16

Family and friends mourn the passing of Kimberly “Kim” Darrell Aylesworth on October 17, 2016, in Sacramento at the age of 81. Born on May 8, 1935 at St. Francis Hospital, Santa Barbara, to Darrell Tramblie Aylesworth and Anne (Kuhns) Aylesworth, Kim attended Harding Elementary, La Cumbre Junior High, and Santa Barbara High School, where he participated in ROTC and played clarinet and saxophone in the band. Enlisting in the US Army after high school, he was stationed at Fort Ord (CA) and Fort Lewis (WA) from 1953 - 1959, retiring from active duty as a sergeant-major and continuing as a Reserves officer for 14 more years. Kim married Eileen McKinnon in 1961, and for 27 years they raised a family of four children in Santa Barbara while he pursued a career in printing (Bellwood Printing, his own company Golden West Printing, UCSB Reprographics, and Rood Associates Printing of Carpinteria) and Eileen worked as a nurse and educator. In the 1980s and 90s Kim was an extremely active and generous supporter of the SBHS band and choir programs and of Canticle A Cappella Choir. He was also a member of the Model A Club of Santa Barbara. Kim retired from the printing life in 1995, and in 1998 moved to care for his elderly mother in Sacramento, where he logged more than 7200 volunteer hours for the Sacramento Railroad Museum, playing the role of station master with the “Monday Mafia" volunteers. Kim is survived by his four children, Allan (Brenda Riley), Kenneth, Catherine Lorigan (Paul Lorigan), and Kristin. No public memorial is planned. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sacramento Railroad Museum (www.californiarailroad.museum/get-involved/ donate) or the Santa Barbara High School Band program (http://www. sbhsbands.org/band-boosters.html).

SWEET SOUL: Danielle Chackel, the liaison for free legal clinics at Bankruptcy Court, was a wonderful listener who cared deeply for all living things.

A Kind Heart in Bankruptcy Court

by M e r e d i t h K l a s s e n

beautiful, sweet soul left this life suddenly and tragically in a car accident on September 23. She will never know just how many lives she touched or how much light she brought into this world. But we do.

Danielle Kay Chackel was more than our coworker; she was our friend. For more than 15 years, Danielle smiled, bounced, giggled, and laughed her way through our work days with us. She attended our weddings, babysat our kids, celebrated our milestones, filled our spaces with living plants, and mourned our lost loved ones. She cared deeply for all living things — so much so that she became a devout vegan long before it was a thing. We sometimes gave her a hard time about this (especially when she was gently ushering a spider out the back door or texting us endless videos of unlikely animal friends), but secretly we all admired her for her solid and unwavering beliefs.

She treasured her job, and she adored her Bankruptcy Court family. She was a dedicated public servant and member of the Northern Division’s small Operations Team. She selflessly did more than was asked of her—often with a smile and a wink. In between her routine duties of helping customers at the intake window, performing quality-control tasks, docketing, calendaring, tracking appeals, and court recording for judges Saltzman, Carroll, and Riblet, Danielle planned potlucks and social events for the staff.

Danielle’s kind heart made her the perfect liaison between the volunteer lawyers and pro se litigants during the Bankruptcy Court’s free weekly consumer debt and bankruptcy clinics. For several years, Danielle staffed the Bankruptcy Court’s Resource

Center and helped hundreds of people with their questions about bankruptcy forms, courtroom procedure, case information, and informational resources. She was a wonderful listener, and she always knew just what to do to provide the most help to a person in need—even if it was just handing out Kleenex.

Danielle did not want to be the center of attention. She would not like all this fuss over her. She was a quiet person, and she was happy to blend into the background. Taking on certain tasks (court recording, for example) required Danielle to dig deep to find her courage. But she was committed to bettering herself, and when her thirst for knowledge nudged her beyond her comfort zone, her Bankruptcy Court team was always right there to support her and cheer her on. With their help, Danielle found her groove. She found the confidence to push through her uncertainties, and, most importantly, she learned that she would always emerge with just a little more self-assurance. We were very proud of her for that.

There is still so much we haven’t figured out yet — it will take some time to walk through the sorrow of losing our good friend so suddenly. But in the meantime, we know Danielle’s loving spirit is all around us, and we know that Danielle was her happiest when she left this life. So for our sweet, sweet Danielle, we pick ourselves up, and we live on in her bright light. And we will do it with the same grace, joy, and compassion with which Danielle lived her beautiful, abbreviated life.

Danielle’s beloved family held a memorial gathering for her on October 5. Donations can be made in Danielle’s name to a local animal rescue or animal-rights charity.

Denise Bourque died peacefully on Nov. 7, 2016 surrounded by the kind support of her Buddhist community, in Santa Rosa, CA. Born in Hartford, CT on March 14, 1951 Denise moved to Santa Barbara in 1979.

A passionate, talented and fiercely independent person, Denise prided herself in never working full-time; her career as a physical therapist gave her the freedom to pursue her many other interests: singing, music, earning her pilot’s license, wilderness skills, and committing herself to her spiritual and emotional growth. In 2004 Denise moved to northern CA, to be closer to her Buddhist teacher and community, but maintained her close ties to SB. We hold her in our . hearts and memory.

Bruce Wingfield Van Dyke 03/18/22-11/09/16

Bruce Van Dyke grew up in Fallbrook, California and attended UCLA before joining the Army Air Corps to take part in World War II. He was a bomber pilot who trained cadet pilots and bombardiers, and stayed on after the war in the Air Force reserves, retiring as a major. During the war, he married his college sweetheart, Miki Harkness, and when the war ended he resumed his studies at UCLA. He changed his major, however, from physics to subtropical horticulture and his life revolved around plants from then on.

After graduating from UCLA with a degree subtropical horticulture in 1948, he moved with his young family to Carpinteria to take a job as instructor at Santa Barbara Junior College, and in 1950 moved into a house he built near Sheffield Reservoir. He left the Junior College after a few years and started his own horticultural services grafting, pruning, and spraying, and consulting homeowners and ranchers on plants. In the years that followed he was involved in almost every aspect of gardening and horticulture in the community. He was a horticulturist on staff at Lotusland for over twenty years, and worked on many other fabulous estate gardens in the community.

He worked in all sorts and sizes of gardens and there are trees in backyards all over Santa Barbara that he grafted, gardeners throughout the county who learned how to

independent.com

prune their fruit trees from him, and count countless friends who remember him for his good humor, kindness, and love of plants.

He was generous with his time and knowledge. From 1953 to 1996, he taught popular adult education classes in home gardening. He wrote a garden column for the Santa Barbara News Press for 33 years, and managed the Santa Barbara Orchid Show for 21 years and Santa Barbara Flower and Garden Show for 5 years. He was a board member and president of Santa Barbara Beautiful, served as a City Parks Commissioner for Santa Barbara for 18 years, a member of the City Street Tree Advisory Committee for 25 years, and was a trustee of the Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens. When the city of Santa Barbara stopped pruning the rose garden on Mission lawn, he drafted his good friend Duke McPherson, and the two of them started a volunteer pruning effort that has turned into a Santa Barbara institution in which hundreds of people take part. For all this he received many awards and acknowledgements including the Heritage Oak Award from Santa Barbara Beautiful for lifetime achievement.

He was also an avid hiker and made many summer trips to the Sierra Nevada.

He swam regularly at the YMCA and made many friends there. He and Miki traveled extensively in Latin America, South East Asia, and Africa. He loved snorkeling on coral reefs, photography, and of course his own home gardens. Miki Van Dyke died in 1996 and in 2003, Bruce married Dorchen Forman, and lived the remainder of his life with Dorchen in her beautiful Goleta home surrounded by fruit trees and flowers.

Dorchen rekindled Bruce's interest in aviation and the two of them crossed the country many times in her Cessna 172.

Bruce is survived by his wife Dorchen, daughter Christopher, son Peter, grandchildren Papaya and Nicholas, six greatgrandchildren, and many dear friends. The family wishes to acknowledge with gratitude the loving care provided to him at the end of his life by Elza Hernandez and her caregiver team, and in his last days by Santa Barbara Visiting Nurse and Hospice Care.

A memorial will be planned for a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Santa Barbara Botanical Garden or Santa Barbara Visiting Nurse and Hospice Care.

chumash and city stand with

standing rock sioux Protection of Water Source and Cultural Resources at Stake

T

by Marcus Lopez, casMaLi L o p e z ,

BarBareno chuMash counci L

he Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is on a quest for environmental justice and spiritual freedom. A minor miracle in Santa Barbara is helping the tribe get there in the form of a City Council resolution, which is now part of a wave of global support pouring into North Dakota.

For people not following the Dakota Access Pipeline Project, a monthslong showdown is taking place just outside the Standing Rock reservation, which spans portions of North and South Dakota, where self-identified “water protectors” are literally holding their ground against construction crews building a 1,100-mile pipeline that would pass over sensitive landscapes including treaty-protected land containing recognized cultural resources.

A rupture in the pipeline, located near or under 209 rivers or tributaries of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, would pour fracked oil into the drinking-water supply of the local Sioux and, if carried downstream, contaminate the water of millions of people in the Midwest.

The water protectors have another huge concern — protecting sacred burial grounds and other archeological treasures that would be destroyed as the pipeline is constructed. (Indeed, sacred sites have already been bulldozed.)

A “fast-tracked” permit approval by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers set the stage between Energy Transfer Partners and the pipeline resistance led by the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Seven Council Fires), Great Sioux Nation.

On Tuesday, November 1, the Santa Barbara City Council passed a resolution calling for a halt to the construction so that a full environmental impact statement could be completed and tribal consultation concluded to the satisfaction of the affected tribes.

Chumash community members and Chumash bands from Santa Barbara County brought the resolution forward, the first time in many years that Santa Barbara’s First People have approached City Hall regarding a matter of profound importance to them — nothing less than indigenous rights to land, religion, and culture.

The protector camps of prayer have been in place since April, with Native Americans from all over the continent traveling to the center of this issue over tribal sovereignty, treaty rights, and the inevitable transition away from fossil-fuel energy. Also taking a stand are students, people of faith, environmentalists, and people touched by a situation echoing historic abuses and assaults. Willing to sacrifice their personal safety and comfort, they are coming from all parts of the world.

Why is Standing Rock drawing so much attention and sympathy?

Because it is a mirror held up to our society, reflecting what we all know to be true — American Indians have endured inhumane treatment and are incredibly resilient. They deserve better. Justice demands that our government honor treaties and acknowledge a history of state-sponsored atrocities.

And the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ and water protectors are right — water is life.

The truth that Water Is Life is just as fundamental in Santa Barbara. The issues of water here on the South Coast are complex — in terms of politics and Nature herself. Water use and water rights, decided by governments past, must look forward to meet the needs of upcoming generations. Governmental bodies must also consider oil production and its accompanying pipeline failures, which have already wreaked environmental destruction on Santa Barbara County, on land and ocean.

Standing Rock is also reflecting a painful question: Will we allow the Dakota Access Pipeline to be yet another installment of broken treaties and the genocide of indigenous people? The response from the water protectors is “no.” The massive infrastructure of an antiquated fuel source must not wipe out the Dakota and Lakota peoples. Their water, their history, their n lives must be protected. Just like ours.

The massive infrastructure of an antiquated fuel source must not wipe out the Dakota and Lakota peoples.

Well-Deserved

T

he displeasure of the faculty and students at UCSB at the election of Donald Trump as our new president is well-deserved. We seniors had to put up with their decisions to elect the Obamanation to the White House twice. So we started the Tea Party to protest — peacefully. In this election year, the working seniors in this country had to make the right decision for academia since they are all too immature to know just what is right for this country.

The media proved once again that it cannot be trusted to deliver news, fair and balanced, and polls are a waste of time, used by the media to control public opinion. Thank god we majority voters saw right through them and elected Trump instead of a “powderpuff” president like Hillary Clinton would have been.

— Justin Ruhge, Lompoc

A Hard Rain

A

fter the overwhelming upset of the election, conservative would-be appointments are being bandied by Trump. Constituents are not singing “Happy Days Are Here Again” but rather “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.” No longer can we as citizens merely vote. We must be vocal. We must be informed and inform those in elected office that things will not be politics as usual. Trump cannot disregard climate change. Those consequences alone would be catastrophic.

— Anne French, S.B.

Tossed Out

S

orry, students, about your shock at the election.

I know it’s unsettling to face reality, especially if you’ve lived in la-la land all your life. What you have been hit with is called democracy in action. It’s the way this country runs — on the “Rule of Law.” And even though some politicians evade that law, it’s what defines what and who we as a country are. Occasionally we are reminded that we have strayed too far afield. That’s when the corrupt and incompetent get tossed out of office by an enraged electorate. That’s what happened.

I expect the president will be the catalyst to untie the Gordian knot of immigration, so fouled up by the previous administrations, that will welcome the tens of millions of new Americans waiting for the change. Are — Ted Solomon, S.B. you willing to help?

A Break in Tradition

S

ymptomatic of our country’s political failure is the fact we had to suffer through an 18-month election process of unacceptable character and content.

Symptomatic of our country’s constitutional failure is the fact Donald Trump did not get the popular vote.

This election qualifies as a historical discontinuity: a break in our tradition of selecting reasonably experienced and measured executive leadership. Our national government has been captured by an impulsive and dangerous individual, an autocratic, nationalistic, anti-intellectual demigod. In simpler language, a fascist. The future of our democracy is imperiled.

We have a lot of work to do. I suggest massive nonviolent demonstrations at critical inflection points are —Phil McKenna, S.B. in order.

T

he 2016 election was about average Americans versus the political class. For more than two years, Americans have been in revolt against the arrogant political class and the financial elites. It was a peaceful revolt, an uprising.

Americans saw their country in decline and the failure and corruption of their leaders. They wanted to take their country back and reclaim its sovereignty.

With Donald Trump as our next president, there now is hope for our country.

God bless America.

Pictured during her ocean crossing from Molokai to Oahu, Santa Barbara’s Abby Brown has fast become a prone-paddling phenom. Despite being a relative rookie to the sport, this lifelong surfer is representing Team U.S.A. at the World Paddleboard Championship in Fiji this week.

Paddle Power

G

etting humbled by your peers can be a deeply difficult experience. But when the person serving up that slice of humble pie is a quiet and petite teenage girl, well, you just have to surrender to the jaw-dropping magnificence of it all.

Such is the Abby Brown experience. Freshly minted at 19 years young, Brown, for all her unassuming sweetness on land, is an absolute monster of ferocity when paddling on the open ocean.

Though a relative newcomer to the sport of prone paddling, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed La Colina Junior High School alum has won three of the Northern Hemisphere’s most prestigious paddle contests over the past four months. And this week, in the warm waters off Fiji, Brown may be crowned the world’s best, as she has a legitimate shot at winning the International Surfing Association’s Paddleboard Championship.

Simply put, she’s gnarly, and she’s just getting started.

safe shore is often several miles away, so should you need help, it’s up to you to find it, which just means more paddling. It’s a special sort of suffering.

“You really only get into this one of two ways: either through lifeguarding or surfing,” explained Brown to me one recent morning, as we sat on the couches at Breakfast Culture Club on Chapala Street, talking story about her rapid rise in the paddling ranks. “I guess for me it was surfing.”

Born “one minute after” her twin sister, Paige, Abby called Mussel Shoals home in her early years, a twist of geographic fate that guaranteed being in the ocean early and often.

The fact that her dad, Mike, was a surfer and her mom, Sharon, was an avid water skier only amplified the love affair. From there, she checked the usual boxes of a waterwoman-in-training: swim class to competitive swimming to junior lifeguards to full-blown surf addict.

But she wasn’t the best aquatic athlete in the family.

“My sister was always faster than me back then—Junior Guards, swimming comps, whatever— whatever she usually beat StEwa r t me,” recalled the sixth-generation Santa Barbarian. “She doesn’t do much of that stuff anymore, but it pushed me then.

She was faster, always kicking and scratching.” It’s clear in her tone that Abby did not enjoy her runner-up status.

Her surfing passion quickly led to contests and high hopes of becoming a pro. She got sponsor stickers on her board, she was regularly surfing with J.P. Garcia’s Santa Barbara Seals program, and, after only two weeks at San Marcos High, she started homeschooling to make more room for her surf dreams. She killed time as a shop rat

Abby brown takes aim at the World

Surfer Girl

by Ethan

To the outsider, open-ocean prone paddling looks a lot like torture — all the pain of surfing, none of the fun. You paddle for hours either on your belly or your knees, with your arms, back, neck, and butt doing the lion’s share of work as you make your way across a surging seascape. The elements beat down from above and unknown creatures lurk below as lactic acid builds to a sharp crescendo in muscle groups you never knew you had. The

at Channel Islands Surfboards and enjoyed all-day sessions at Rincon, her mom often filming the action from the beach. In January 2014, Brown, then 16, became a viral video sensation known as “dolphin girl” when footage of her surfing alongside a porpoising member of the Delphinidae family during that year’s Rincon Classic blew up the Internet, even landing on Good Morning America.

It was around this time that I first remember seeing Abby, her tiny blonde head bobbing in the lineup nearly every day at Rincon. She looked the part of a serious young athlete and was confident beyond her years in the water, but what struck me most was who she gravitated toward in the Rincon soap-opera scene: people five to 10 years her senior, the majority of them not really “contest surfers.” Brown sparked that special flickering light of a free spirit finding her way in the world, opposed to the more jock-inspired protocols adopted by most groms chasing the elusive pro-surfing carrot.

Legends in the making, such as Brandon Smith, Connor Lyons and Simon Murdoch, became Brown’s de facto mentors and friends. In relatively quick order, Brown got interested in the dark art of surfboard shaping, started riding boards of all weird shapes and sizes, and began incorporating more ’80s neon and thrift store finds into her wardrobe than most teenage girls would be cool with. “Abby is too legit,” summed up her shaper and friend Ryan Lovelace. “She is still a full-on grom with the perfect side of nerd.”

From my view on the sidelines, it was a curious pivot. But had I known that this teenager was crazy about activist/author Edward Abbey (“I just really like how he –jim brewer speaks his mind, no matter what,” she said) and idolized distance runner Steve Prefontaine (her Instagram profile touts his famous line: “The best pace is a suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die”), then the evolution would have made more sense. Not long after that dolphin girl video, Brown was all but done with surf contests, and the paddleboard was floating her way.

‘

i never doubted her. i just didn’t see this coming...

’

Prone Prodigy “I never doubted her. I just didn’t see this coming,” explains Jim Brewer, the man responsible for putting Abby Brown on a paddleboard, who remains amazed at her sudden dominance on the international paddle circuit this past summer.“I did not think it could happen this fast. To be able to flip the switch like that — I had never seen that before.”

The former owner of Santa Barbara’s BlueLine paddle shop, Brewer and his wife have long counted Abby’s parents as close friends, their kids all chasing stoke side-by-side in the swimming pool and sea. His oldest, Ben, is one of the top competitive lifeguards in the country and is also one of Abby’s best buddies. Brewer recalls those fateful first days in the summer of 2013 when Ben and Abby, opting to stay away from the stand-up paddleboards that their dads were riding, instead went for the prone option.“Ben was pretty into it because of the lifeguarding thing, but then Abby just went for it, too,” he remembered. “Pretty much right away, they were paddling all the time.”

Brown credits the seasonal lull in surfable waves. “It gets really boring here in the summer, so paddling was something we could do,” she said. “It felt good to just be out there on the water and doing something. I think we

went from the Pit [Hendry’s Beach] to the Harbor like every day for a couple weeks straight. Paddling in a downwinder [with the wind and waves pushing you from behind] was as fun as surfing, maybe more fun. … It sounds cheesy, but if you are having a bad day, paddling helps.”

That summer, during the annual Friendship Paddle fundraiser, Brown is helping push the boundaries of the sport both competitively and in the funBrown attempted a solo crossing hogging department, the latter evidenced by antics like her rushing of rapids in Oregon of the Santa Barbara Channel, a (above) this past summer upon an inflatable prone board. roughly 30-mile slog of saltwater “Catalina was so hard,” she said. “It was sort of the brutality, and then competed in the annual Malibu Downwinder race a few months later.

getting real

In June 2015, about a year after paddling for the first time, Brown traveled up to Santa Cruz to take part in the Jay Moriarity Memorial Paddleboard race, a 12-miler held off of Capitola Beach. Despite being the rookie in her division, which included women ages 18-49, she won. “That experience really did it for me,” said Brown, who won that race again this last summer.

“I was hooked.”

She came home and began training with conviction — paddle sprints in the Oxnard Harbor, predawn workout sessions—all in the hopes of qualifying for the 2016 Molokai 2 Oahu race in Hawai‘i, arguably the most famous and grueling paddle in the world. She was just happy to be accepted, explaining,“It is just such a crazy race. I wanted to go see what it was like.”

So on July 31, Brown ate up more than 32 miles of open ocean with swells so big she often couldn’t see land or her support boat. Six hours, 29 minutes, and 47 seconds later, the 18-year-old came out of nowhere to win her division.

But Brown even downplays that, offering modestly, “There aren’t many other girls who compete.”

A month later, Brown went down to Manhattan Beach to prove Molokai was no fluke. Another 32-mile crossing, the Catalina Classic was founded in 1955 and attracts the best of the best from the United States and beyond in a race from the mainland to the popular island. Once again, Abby Brown took first place, crossing the It was only three summers ago that Brown first started prone paddling (pictured middle and above) as a flat-spell diversion with her friends Ben Brewer and his finish line less than one minute ahead of brother Kelly. the runner-up.

Abby Brown’s trifecta of highprofile race victories this summer is not often seen in the paddle world by man or woman. She’s not even done with her third full season in the sport, but because of this remarkable momentum, Brown has a real chance to win the women’s stock division world title in Fiji, which occurs on Thursday, November 17.

So what is her secret? “I don’t know,” blushed Brown, showing her age for the first time during our conversation. “I think all my surfing experience helps me read the conditions and maybe notice things other people don’t.

Maybe. I have no idea.”

A few follow-up questions later, she lands on something closer to the truth. “This isn’t some huge sport with lots of money,” she said. “It is just a bunch of characters who go out and have fun and enjoy the challenge.

We all know each other and travel together and try and have as much fun as possible.”

What about the actual paddling and the pure physical misery that it entails?

“It is mostly a mental challenge. I would rather paddle with a headwind than on calm, flat water. It is just more interesting to me,” she said. “When it is howling and white-capping and no one is out there and no one is even on the beach, that’s what I love. You can’t tell if you are having tons of fun or if you are scared. I mean, n sometimes I even forget I am paddling.”

Patagonia’S

TOKYO TO ORTEGA STREET: Steven Tiller discovered the forgotten 1960s brand SeaVees in a Tokyo thrift store and then started his own company based on the old sneaker model.

SeaVee Surfs the Sneaker Wa SeaVeeS WaVe

A

bout a decade ago, late one night while wandering the streets of Tokyo, Steven Tiller walked into a thrift shop filled with dusty Americana and saw everything he ever wanted sitting in a glass case. He was already one of the international shoe industry’s top trend spotters — traveling to places such as Milan, Paris, and Seoul to determine how styles start, who follows them, and why — but he’d become obsessed with finding the perfect sneaker, hoping to one day start his own brand.

“I looked back at my career and realized that I had been successful at not being true to myself,” recalled Tiller, whose 40th birthday was then looming. “I started to question if I was ever going to be the man I wanted to be.”

And there they were: a pair of SeaVees, a forgotten sneaker from the 1960s that his vast research somehow missed, appealing to the modern eye yet classic in all the right ways. “I was looking for a brand that had great heritage but unrealized potential,” said Tiller.“It chilled all my bones. It was what I had spent my life obsessing over.”

Upon returning to his home in Boston, Tiller discovered that the shoes had been widely advertised in Playboy and Sports Illustrated as the first crossover sneaker. “What I saw in SeaVees was a true category creator,” said Tiller, whose nearly 20-year career at that point included work for Cole Haan, Sperry Top-Siders, Keds, and Steve Madden. “This was the transformation of the sneaker from the gym locker to a social affair.” The Oklahoma native also liked the brand’s California vibe, believing that it might be the vehicle to fulfill his other lifelong dream of living in the Golden State.

But he feared that the brand was either owned by a corporation that would demand a big chunk of change for it or that it had already been relaunched and failed. “I tried to be cautious in my optimism,” said Tiller, who filed the legal paperwork and had to wait 18 months to make sure no one else laid claim.

“I put my focus into other things. I was afraid to talk about it.”

He learned that the brand was started in 1964

by B.F. Goodrich, just one of many tire companies who put their rubber to use in footwear, such as Uniroyal with Keds, and Dunlop with Green Flash.

In 1969, Converse purchased B.F. Goodrich’s sneaker division, which included SeaVees, PF Flyers, and Jack Purcells (named after a Canadian badminton player), but in 1971 the Justice Department declared it a monopoly. So Converse sold off PF Flyers and shut down SeaVees.

In 2010, Tiller relaunched SeaVees, and in 2011 he moved with his wife and two children to Montecito. “There is something about Santa Barbara that seems relatively unchanged in the last half century,” he explained of his choice to move here. “That made this the rightful home for SeaVees.”

Today, Tiller and his team of eight employees design 35-40 shoe styles each season for men and women from a small office on East Ortega Street, just down the street from Paradise Café.

The shoes, which range in price from $68 to $178 a pair, are made in small batches by a boutique shoe factory in Asia, which Tiller visits multiple times a year. Despite the care and cutting-edge technology that Tiller uses in each design, he explained, “We don’t want this brand to be precious. We want it to be universal. We want it to be well-known.”

SeaVees are sold at more than 300 stores around the world; sales are especially brisk through the company website, and you can schedule an appointment to check out the shoes at their S.B. office.“We’re having our best year ever,” said Tiller of 2016, also mentioning that he’d like to open his own flagship store one day.

And the steady success all goes back to stumbling into this forgotten sneaker, a time capsule from an iconic era. Said Tiller, “ ‘1950s and ’60s American’ truly has never gone out of style. It’s something that speaks to everyone. You don’t need to overexplain it.”

Steven tiller’S Dream Shoe ComeS True ComeS

nano Puff and Wool

P

atagonia has been weaving recycled materials into its products for nearly 25 years, initially milling discarded plastic bottles into fleece pullovers. Today, the Ventura-based outdoor clothing and equipment giant is constantly tinkering on the edges of the green frontier, producing everything from neoprene-free wet suits to online tutorials on how to repair damaged apparel.

Its latest efforts include upgrades to the Nano Puff jacket, an enduring classic that now sports recycled content inside and out. Since 2009, the lightweight zip-up has featured a shell and liner woven from 100 percent polyester. The problem: Its V-neck pullover insulation was 100 percent all-new material. That’s changed. The Nano’s new line, launched this fall, features insulation that’s 55 percent recycled material, without a drop in performance. The company estimates that the technology— technology called PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Eco — will save two million plastic bottles from landfills in the first year alone.

Speaking of landfill diversion, Patagonia’s re\\\collection doesn’t Nano Puff jacket exactly scavenge cast-off material from the sewing room floor — but almost. These exceedingly well-built jackets, vests, pullovers, and pants feature goose and duck down reclaimed from cushions, bedding, and other used comfort items that generally can’t be resold.

The V-neck pullover specifically is lightweight and toasty and comes with its own tiny stuff sack.

Recycled down jacket On the wool front, Patagonia utilizes a technology that converts threadbare sweaters into blankets, adding quality controls that sort by color prior to shredding so that dyed materials can be matched and blended during manufacturing.

This eliminates the dyeing process, which saves water and forgoes certain chemicals. The jackets — warm, comfortable, stylish — are made from 100 percent recycled wool plus reclaimed-down insulation and polyester.

“I tell people to think twice before buying anything, including our stuff,” Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard has said. “But if you really stuff need it, we’re making the best-quality stuff you can buy.” Plus, with these new offerings, its high-quality stuff is made mostly from stuff readily available in Patagonia’s vast consumer loops. —Keith Hamm

toad & Co.’S FunCTional STyle

Dr. Frawley’s Medical Group 3891 State Street, Suite 201 Santa Barbara

FABRICS ARE KEY: Toad & Co. designers Paige Harvey (left) and Kira Grebel (right) combine fabrics to make functional yet stylish clothing in their office on the Riviera.

T

hough the “factory floor” is where the 40 Santa Barbara–based employees of Toad & Co. pluck away at keyboards — including CEO Gordon Seabury — the soul of their office on the Riviera Park campus is in a much smaller room. There, past the wire cage wall of the sales showroom and stocked fridges of the communal kitchen, countless swatches of new and old flannel, corduroy, cotton, wool, and all imaginable textiles hang on facing walls from floor to ceiling. This is the 25-year-old outdoor apparel company’s fabric library, where designers return regularly to research what types of textiles exist and then plot the combinations that should.

“We look at how different types of fabrics work together to create something better,” Marketing Manager Steve McCann explained to me during a tour last week. “Say we like wool for moisture wicking and heat resistance, but we like the feel of cotton. How do we bridge that gap? We’ll work with different manufacturers to see who can do that. That’s a huge part of what we’re doing with fabrics.”

Functionality is a must for all apparel companies, but Toad & Co. reverses the traditional model, prioritizing feel and looks and then determining how to make it work. “For us, number one is comfort,” said McCann, explaining that the company employs the JET — as in “just enough technology”— technology” mantra. “The majority of people aren’t tackling Mt. Everest,” he said of the form/function balance they seek, “but they might be hiking up Jesusita.”

The company was initially founded as Horny Toad in 1991 by Jessica Nordhaus, who made fleece toques in her garage (also home to her horny-toad lizards!) in Telluride, Colorado, and Seabury took it over a few years later, moved it to his living room in Chicago, and grew sales by hitting the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market trade show in 1996. Inspired by Ben & Jerry’s social initiatives, Seabury partnered with Search, Inc., which did job training for adults with disabilities, to create Planet Access Company, which became and remains the clothing company’s warehousing partner.

In 2002, seeking somewhere more outdoorsy than Chicago, Seabury moved to Santa Barbara. “It lets us live the life we’re talking about,” said McCann of what inspired the move, though it also turned out to be home to a relatively rich clothing-apparel workforce, thanks to Deckers and nearby Patagonia as well as now-defunct labels such as Territory Ahead and GBMI.

While expanding to make everything from pants and sweaters to dresses, skirts, and dressier shirts, the company grew from four employees to 75, which includes the retail force behind two stores in Freeport, Maine (an outdoor apparel hub, it turns out), and Portland, Oregon. Everyone else is based in Santa Barbara, where they’re launching the fall 2017 line, awaiting finished spring 2018 designs, and already picking colors for fall 2018. Though proud to have clothing made from 100 percent organic cotton, the team continues to focus on sustainability by investigating recycled materials and other eco-friendly fibers. Toad & Co. is also expanding into travelwear (complete with hidden pockets as well as anti-bug and wrinkle-free technology) and the light outerwear segment that the industry is starting to call “shackets.”

The biggest move in recent years was the renaming of the company to Toad & Co. in 2015, a nearly three-year process in which McCann was intimately involved. “It was holding us back,” he said of the Horny Toad name, noting that men were more reluctant than women. “The ‘I’m a Horny Toad guy’ thing wasn’t happening.” Plus, he explained, “People didn’t get why the company was named after a rough lizard that shoots blood from its eyes, but makes these beautiful dresses and shirts.”

The Toad & Co. rebrand and simultaneous relaunch of the website went smoothly. “Going through a name change is huge,” said McCann, his knuckle rapping the table. “Luckily, it seems like we did it the right way. It’s been almost two years now, and we didn’t even hit a bump. I’m still knocking on wood, but…”

The clothes are sold mainly through smaller specialty outdoor-retail shops such as Mountain Air Sports, as well as bigger stores like REI and Dick’s Sporting Goods, altogether amounting to about 400 accounts and more than 1,000 doors. They’re pretty well-known in Santa Barbara, thanks to support for organizations such as Art From Scrap, the Environmental Defense Center, and Alpha Resource Center, not to mention their annual Grilled Cheese Smackdown in March.

From my quick visit, Toad & Co. seemed like a cool place to work, but that goes for the whole industry, according to McCann. “Outdoor apparel is a lot like craft brew,” he said. “When we get together, it’s about bettering the industry as a whole rather than just bettering individual companies.”

So …

ThaT happened.

T

What Now?

his isn’t how it was supposed to be. A week after the election, we

were supposed to be celebrating in the streets, a jubilant, enlightened populace congratulating ourselves on having elected the most sensible, knowledgeable, and experienced candidate. Having spoken out for respect. And inclusiveness. One nation under Her, indivisible, with taco trucks and pantsuits for all.

Analysts will spend years unknotting how we got this so wrong; it may wind up in history books. What’s clear is we underestimated Americans’ dissatisfaction with the status quo — and overestimated their concern for anyone besides themselves.

So now we sit, slumped, humiliated as the rest of the world stares slackjawed at our crude windbag of a choice. Our swaggering snake-oil salesman. Our callow narcissist. (Hi, Trump’s NSA. Are we doing this yet?)

We try to tamp down the rising panic as the Tweet er of “the concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese” appoints the head of the Environmental Protection Agency. As the man who said women should be punished for having abortions prepares to appoint Supreme Court justices. As he ditches reporters and snatches at the keys to the Situation Room after even staunchly conservative newspapers warned us, “Do we really want someone in charge of our military and nuclear codes who has an impulse-control problem?”

But just when I think I’m despondent, I picture Hillary Clinton curled up in a blankie with an oversized cocoa mug full of expensive wine, binge-watching email: starshine@roshell.com Orange Is the New Black, and I think: Oh. No. That’s despondent.

And I realize that what I am is offended. And indignant. And itching for a fight.

I’m angry at the voters who not only dismissed Trump’s bigotry, sexism, and blatant disrespect for Muslims, veterans, and people with disabilities — but also elevated those qualities to the highest office in the land.

I’m furious at white women, at nonvoters (since we’re deporting people, can we start with these 100 million slackers?), and at evangelicals who sold their souls to the least Jesus-y human ever to loom over a ballot.

What enrages me most are those who believe Trump’s bullying ideologies have been nailed to the public square as national doctrine and now feel fully free to harass Muslim, black, gay, and Mexican residents of this country for fun. Hate crimes that echo Trump’s campaign rhetoric have surged since the election, from threats and intimidation to racial slurs and physical attacks. It’s happening even in the progressive bubble of California; it’s happened to people I know. It’s as if cockroaches were living just under the surface, and Trump punctured a giant orange hole for them to crawl up out of.

Of course, most of Trump’s voters aren’t sexist bigots. Some simply hoped he’d throw a let’s-see-what-happens wrench into a political and economic system that doesn’t work for them. But Trump incited this hateful behavior, and if you did anything to put him in the home that Lincoln once occupied, then I hope you’ll join me in pledging that no one will be mocked, baited, or demeaned on our watch. Stand beside them. Speak up for them. If it was shame that kept these bullies in the shadows until now, let’s shame them right back there again. Because we will not go backward. If we can’t be decent to one another — if every one of us can’t expect to move through our communities in safety and peace — then what’s the point of everything else you voted for?

Some people are wearing safety pins on their shirts to show marginalized groups that they’re a “safe” ally. It’s a sweet gesture, but to be honest, I’m not feeling sweet. My outrage is dialed up to “seethe,” and it feels just right for the moment. It’s a setting I hope will keep me alert and energized for the four years ahead of us — because although Hillary’s fight is finally over, ours is just beginning.

So pardon me for not wearing a small, subtle silver symbol of my stance. You’re more likely to see me driving a rainbow-striped, vaginashaped monster truck that says “RUN, RACISTS.”

nicky d’S Wood Fired Pizza

a Bastion of east Coast flavor By riChie DeMaria

F

or a true slice of East Coast flavor, look no further than Nicky D’s Wood Fired Pizza on De la Vina Street, where longtime pizzaiolo Nick DeMarinis and his wife, Bunny DeMarinis, have been serving up whole pies of brickoven-baked goodness for five years. As much an attraction as the pizza itself, the exuberant pair abounds with stories and laughter, the perfect topping to a truly tasty take on everyone’s favorite Italian import, New York style.

Slices are sold as well as whole pies, and favorites include the Margherita— its crust a delicious balance of soft and crisp — or, Margherita for a richer experience, the Pesto Bravo, a pesto pie bejeweled with generous bulbs of garlic, slivers of red pepper, sausage, and daubs of goat cheese.

De la vina street, There’s also the White Garlic Clam, suite B; which can be elevated further with 898-2222; the addition of bacon.

Nicky is carrying on the DeManickydSpizza.com rinis family legacy— legacy his grandfather was an Italian pizza chef and his father a restaurant owner—and feels that his oven sets his pizza apart from the pack.“I wanted to be different, and I knew that wood was the way to do it,” said DeMarinis, who imported bricks from Rome, Italy. “The chariots drove over the top of the bricks,” he said.“The fire’s never really completely out,” explained Bunny, adding that her husband cooks “all by instinct and feel … He does a ballet with his hands almost when he’s making pizza. It’s beautiful to watch.”

And their stories are a treat to hear, for Nicky D and Bunny have led quite the life. Before opening a Times Square pizzeria with his brother Dennis, Nicky D studied acting with Lee Strasberg in New York City. The couple moved in 1984 to L.A., where they became deep-dished in Hollywood: Nicky appears as a pizza man in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze and The X-Files, and as a cab driver in Sinatra’s The First Deadly Sin. Make sure to ask about the time Nicky served pizza to a young Elton John or his christening as Nicky D by Muhammad Ali or overhearing the gunshots that felled John Lennon or the ghosts that forced them out of their previous Silver Lake location. And if you’re a TV producer, Nicky has lots of ideas ready for the making.

“I’m proud of my pizza; it’s the real McCoy,” said Nicky D. “I n mean no disrespect to anyone, but I’m the best.”

estivals are big business these days, so much so that FestForums focuses on the trend during a three-day conference that’s being held in Santa Barbara for the second straight year. In addition to the expert panels and keynote speakers sharing their insights from November 19 to 21 at the Fess Parker DoubleTree Resort, FestForums also brings in star power from the music, film, and food worlds, including Jack Johnson, Bruce Dern, Quentin Tarantino, and Cat Cora.

This year culminates with the James Beard Foundation’s Celebrity Chef Tour Dinner on Monday night, when Cora will cook alongside international luminaries such as France’s famed Gilles Epié, who won a Michelin star as a 22-year-old chef and then worked in Los Angeles for 10 years before opening his own place, Citrus Etoile, in Paris in 2005. Both Cora and Epié are also speaking on Saturday about going from the kitchen to the screen.

Epié spoke to me via Skype from his home in Paris last week.

Tell me about your connection to late Santa Barbara resident Julia Child. I cooked a long time ago with Michel Richard

for her birthday when she was 80. All of the chefs from France in America were part of it. I loved her so much. I loved her TV show.

She changed the world of French food in America.

What was your impression when you came to run L’Orangerie in L.A. in 1996? It was interesting because the

cuisine was not only French; it was like California fusion. I was the only chef who was doing the real French food because I had just moved from Paris. I realized very quickly that I had to change because, especially for people in Hollywood, they don’t eat the French cuisine like we do in Paris. So it took me two to three weeks to figure it out. To bring the business back up again, I had to take out all the heavy ingredients of French cuisine. After six months, I had my first review in the L.A. Times by Irene Virbila.

We got three pages; it was unbelievable. We moved from doing 50 people a night to 150.

Did learning the California cuisine help your career? Of

course. When I moved back to France, nobody knew what real fusion food was. In L.A., I loved to go to Chinatown and Little Tokyo and Koreatown to see what was going on, what they were using. So when I came back to France, the chefs all asked me what I was cooking, and I said I had just come back from California, where everything has to be fresh and light. They copied me right away. They figured I was right.

How have you seen culinary culture change? In France,

we used to have a lot of small stores, bakeries, butchers, small restaurants. The French people were laughing at Americans because everyone used to go to the grocery stores. Everything has changed in France. They’re shutting down the small businesses because they’re opening the big stores just like they used to do in America.

The French are trying to become Americans, and they are basically fucking up all of the businesses. It’s sad. It’s cheaper. It’s all about the money. The economy is really bad in France, especially after all the attacks.

But now in America, people love to hook up with the butcher, the bakery, the small stores, and tiny bistros. Finally, Americans understand the way the French and Europeans used to live.

Buena Onda’s

Tomás Baistrocchi and Matias Requena stand with their mobile wood-fired oven at Brander Vineyard in Los Olivos.

argEntinE EmpanadaS R eader Gustavo shared with me a story about a business named Buena Onda, which is Spanish for “good vibes.” It is run by Tomás Baistrocchi and Matias Requena, Argentineans who are spreading a bit of South American culture through their culinary art of empanada making. They are known for their popups around town, serving authentic, hand-made, organic Argentine empanadas. Unknown to me, Buena Onda also has a home at 724 East Haley Street, where they run their private events operation, as well as serve grab ’n’ go takeouts. It is a family-run operation that focuses on offering quality in their organic ingredients and also takes the time to handcraft each empanada.

Reader Gustavo says he is a regular customer and has tried every empanada on their menu. He suggests you try the traditional meat empanada (with grass-fed ground beef). He also recommends the Italian-influenced “caprese” with mozzarella and fresh basil, and the red-quinoa/goat cheese/ spinach. The signature Argentine finger-licking sauce chimichurri is included with every takeout.

Pick-up hours are Wednesday-Saturday, 4-8 p.m.

Call 679-3320 or order online at buenaondasb .com.

THANKSGIVING CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH AT BACARA BALLROOM: Give thanks while

celebrating with family and friends at the Bacara Resort & Spa at 8301 Hollister Avenue in Goleta.

They are having a Thanksgiving Champagne Brunch Buffet at the Bacara Ballroom Terrace on November 24, 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Executive Chef Vincent Lesage’s extensive Champagne brunch buffet will feature roasted turkey, honey-glazed ham, assorted shellfish and sushi, prime rib, California wine-country salads, decadent desserts, and more. It’s $95 for adults and $45 for children 12 and younger, plus tax and gratuity. View the menu at tinyurl.com/bacarabrunchbuffet. For reservations, please call (844) 213-6466.

SPEAKING OF THE BACARA: My wife and I

recently dined at Bacara Resort’s new Angel Oak restaurant, which opened in June. The food was phenomenal, and I enjoyed one of the best steaks I ever had. I ordered the bone-in rib eye with mashed potatoes and wild mushrooms, while my wife enjoyed the rack of lamb with house-made harissa apricot purée and asparagus salad. The Restaurant Kid, of course, ordered the made-fromscratch mac and cheese (which effectively ended our ability to serve the boxed stuff from Kraft at home). Our meals started off with the blue crab cake and roasted bone marrow, accompanied by a spectacular ocean-view sunset, and ended with the molten chocolate cake and apple cobbler, served sizzling at your table. All in all, it was a great experience.

the 2015 albariño and 2014 grenache coming next spring — drink well now but have the bones to live an extremely long time in the cellar. You won’t be able to find the wine in a store, but the online wine club is growing, and their restaurant distribution is strategic to New York, Florida, Missouri, and Southern California, including at San Ysidro Ranch and Lucky’s in Montecito and bouchon and La Cumbre Country Club in Santa Barbara. With plans to never exceed 1,500 cases per year—and a commitment to complete control that even includes the winery’s own bottling line, a luxurious rarity even for much larger wineries—it shouldn’t be too hard finding a steady high-minded market for these well-tended wines.

What LaBarge enjoys most is succeeding against the odds, as many experts thought some of his plans idiotic. “That’s the most rewarding thing,” said LaBarge, “hearing things like that and getting a positive result.” n See labargewinery.com.

was no benchmark to really achieve. “It’s a really clean slate for me,” said LaBarge, who’s experimented with allowing it to go through malolactic fermentation. “I think we’ve benefited from that.” Additionally, replicating Rías Baixas is not his goal.“I don’t really want people to think of this as an albariño or even an albariño from the Sta. Rita Hills,” he said.“I just want people to think that this is LaBarge’s white wine.”

He’s already expanded his plantings of the grape, hoping to eventually get to 200 cases annually.

His reds, meanwhile, are intensely structured, much more so than most other Sta. Rita Hills bottlings, and walk the balance beam between ripeness and freshness. “Our path is the classical middle,” said LaBarge, when we discuss the modern poles of pinot noir and Rhône winemaking in California, from juicy and rich to sparse and sprightly. “We don’t want to stick out on either end.”

So far, the released wines — including the 2014 albariño, 2013 and 2014 pinot noir, and the 2012 and 2013 syrah, with

or the past 19 years, National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry has been circumnavigating the globe, taking breathtaking photos of the sea and its creatures. In his travels, he has also documented human beings’ destruction of these massive bodies of water so critical to all life. “When you consider how important the ocean is to all of us — that 98 percent of the biosphere, 98 percent of where life can exist on planet Earth is ocean, and that we get most of our oxygen from there — it’s very sad to think that only about 3 percent of the ocean is actually protected,” said Skerry in a recent phone interview with The Santa Barbara Independent. He also spoke about conservation efforts, educating people on the perils facing our oceans, and the traction being made by the global community to repair the ecosystems.

I’m amazed that people don’t recognize the role of the oceans in the world. We have to try to beat the drum and engage people in any way that we can. I feel that I would be very comfortable just beating the drum and preaching the problems of the ocean, but maybe if I do a story about dolphin intelligence … maybe some percentage of the population will look at that and say, “Wow, that’s really cool. I had no idea.” Then if you say,“But their habitat is dying, and these are animals that are imperiled because we’re killing the ocean,” then maybe they’ll begin to care. So for me, it’s about finding new ways to tell stories that matter, stories that get people to care.

What is the funniest story you’ve ever done?

There have been several that are really enjoyable … but one of the more fun stories that I did was about marine reserves, believe it or not, about the value of protecting places

in the ocean, and I did that in New Zealand.

I ultimately wound my way from the very tip of the South Island in New Zealand to the top of the North Island, and worked in all these coastal marine reserves. … In each of these places, I saw that because of conservation, because of protection, the ecosystem had rebounded. … The ocean had the ability to heal itself. It was abundant; it was lush; there was diversity, lots of animals at every level of the ecosystem.

lead on that. [And there is] this new effort by the president to create the world’s largest marine protected area in Northwest Hawaiian islands; he’s created the Atlantic’s very first marine reserve here in the New England area …. The track record hasn’t been great for the United States, but we’re getting there, and we’ve had some recent progress, and it would be nice so see that continue, so we’re hoping.

And that’s a message that I’ve carried with me wherever I go, to tell people that it’s not too late. We’ve lost 90 percent of the big fish in the ocean, we’ve lost 50 percent of the world’s coral reefs — there’s acidification, there’s plastic— but at least now we know the problem, we have the answers, and we just have to have the will to act on that. There’s hope, if we look for it, and that, sort of, was a pleasant surprise.

What are you going to focus on in your presentation at UCSB? The lecture sort of unfolds with a bit of a retrospective in the sense that I’ll be talking to the audience about how I approach my work. I began, like many photographers, just wanting to do stories about things that interested me. But I began to see a lot of problems occurring in the world’s oceans and didn’t see a lot of that getting covered. … My work as a photojournalist evolved from just making pretty pictures to doing more of reportage, sort of harderhitting issues. So I take the audience with me on assignment and show them different approaches I take with different stories … [like] looking at a big region like the Mesoamerican Reef, [and] critically endangered animals, like the bluefin tuna, and intelligence in animals. So Ocean Wild: The Light Beneath the Seas is really about the light that not only I bring to my subjects but the light that I have been given, the illumination that I’ve been given doing this work.

What’s the United States’ scorecard like?

Well, I don’t know what percentage of our oceans have been protected. It’s not a lot. I will say that California has been a real leader in that. There is a string of coastal marine reserves in California that have been a model, I think, for many other states, and they’ve really taken the initiative and the

A ComiC Book with a ConSCienCe Imagine a dystopian future where wide swaths of the populace worship guns, desert-beaten veterans return home deserted by the cause that sent them, and insurance companies protect governments against terrorist attacks. Does such a land sound conceivable?

Enter the uncannily similar universe of area comic book author Steve Stormoen’s The Pros, in which a team of spies — an Iraq War veteran, a take-no-BS activist, a post-human, a gender hacker, and a seven-PhDholding Slavoj Žižek doppelgänger — are employed by a corporatized entity to help solve global crimes and crises.

The Pros is a comic book with a conscience, free from the cheap veil and cape of contemporary corporate cartoon superheroism, and instead, smartly and squarely concerned with issues of today without pretense or platitudes. Stormoen came up with the idea while lying in bed one night, wondering how themes of privatization might revitalize classic comic genre stories. A fan of works like Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson’s Transmetropolitan and Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky’s Sex Criminals, Stormoen was inspired by works that address the complexities of modern times.

“Comics are in a really interesting place now, catching up to representing a multicultural America,” he said.

Working with award-winning Serbian illustrator Jelena Đorđević, Stormoen tells his tale with a compassionate and empathetic lens, preferring to present the multifaceted aspects of pressing modernday issues through a variety of very human perspectives.

A lifelong community organizer and activist, Stormoen’s works are in many ways drawn from life, and he brings to the storyboard a sensitive understanding of the diversity of opinion and emotion that deepens the heaviest political issues. “I want to raise interesting questions, not give my own answers. I don’t think there’s a single right answer,” he said on issues such as gun rights.

With two issues completed and nearly sold out, a third on its way, and the fourth and final installment already funded, Stormoen’s works have clearly resonated with a readership. Engage your active mind in your recumbent hours with his thought-provoking work, a worthwhile read for these troubling times.

Two of these pieces are written by Lit Moon’s Michael Bernard, one by Lit Moon’s Victoria Finlayson, and another by frequent Lit Moon collaborator Blagoj Micevski. Blondell described the evening of pop-ups as the product of an “ache to create together” that drove artists living in Santa Barbara and in Macedonia to

n the day I met John Blondell to talk about the upcoming citywide celebration of Shakespeare he has organized, the contemporary Shakespeare world had been rocked by news of the abrupt dismissal of Emma Rice from her position as artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London. After only a single very successful season, Rice was sacked, ostensibly for introducing stage lights and amplified sound to the Globe, which is a modern replica As You Like It

concluded election season, saying that in Julius Caesar, we see “volatile strains of populism and nationalism that lead to the destruction of the state.” He told me that it is Shakespeare’s attempt to portray “the catastrophic consequences of missing the point” politically.

Thanks to the presence of the actors of the Bitola National Theatre, Julius Caesar will be the first part of a Roman diptych, the second half of which is Shakespeare’s monumental late tragedy Antony and Cleopatra. Directed by Blondell and performed in Macedonian in the Sunken Gardens of the Santa Barbara Courthouse, this is sure to be a memorable experience. Blondell described the long story arc that begins with the assassination of Julius Caesar and ends with the deaths of both the title characters in Antony and Cleopatra as nothing less than a “turning point in the history of western civilization.”

“We don’t have to search for motivation” in doing this work today, he said, because “it’s all around us.”

TERRIBLY GOOD: With a new Orwells album, Terrible Human Beings, slated for release next February, there’s at least something to look forward to in 2017’s opening winter weeks.

Concert for George

ROCKING THE SUBURBS

On the 15th anniversary of George Harrison’s passing, Rock ‘n roll fan and music lover Hale Milgrim will guide audiences through select performances from the moving film, Concert for George. Enjoy special performances by Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Billy Preston, Anoushka Shankar Shankar, and of course, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr...

Plus much more from the concert and Hale’s quips and surprise clips!

by Richie DeMaria THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT: Youth, well-known for its reckless behavior and wild abandon, is also something of a shape-shifter that over the years subversively dons the mask of wrinkles and occupational fatigue in the daytime hours as self-protective camouflage but breaks again from this formality come nighttime to assume its true form—buffoonery and mating dances all over again. Witness the real thing this Saturday, November 19, at Velvet Jones (8:30pm, 423 State St.), when the nationally famed and eternally youthful garage rockers The Orwells headline an all-ages show with equally energized and irreverent S.B. rock heroes Dante Elephante.

Both bands shall bring out the youth, be they legally so or only spiritually so. When the country’s steering wheel is once again put in the hands of an aged old white man—at 70 years old, the rate at which road fatalities begin to noticeably increase—we need rock ’n’ roll like this to steer us in a more cheerful direction.

The Orwells began rocking while still in high school, and unlike many who achieve a reputation at such a ripe age, they have still managed to keep intact the fire that ignited them several years beyond its bursting. A family band of sorts — frontman Mario Cuomo and guitarist Dominic Corso are cousins, bassist Grant Brinner and drummer Henry Brinner are twin brothers, and guitarist Matt O’Keefe is a friend of the gang— the band possesses that rabble-rousing spirit shared among brothers, cousins, and brothers-by-association.

If the media dooms any band that starts young by constantly reminding them and their audience of their youthful beginnings, then this columnist is guilty, what with the narrative of growing and adapting and so on. But, certainly, the band is growing, as hinted at their upcoming album, Terrible Human Beings. “On Disgraceland and even Remember When, we were singing about being in high school and stealing dad’s booze. When you do that when you’re 22 or 23, it starts to get lame. We couldn’t do that anymore,” O’Keefe said in a phone interview.

The record’s title alludes to a “fascination within the band, and even Americans in general, [with] people like Al Capone—you root for these people and have some sympathy with them and can’t help but love them, despite the fact that he was a murderer,” O’Keefe said. Their new music video, “They Put a Body in the Bayou,” is filled with themes of political corruption.

Themes of youth remain, as in the energetic Pixies-esque blast of a single, “Buddy,” a mere 1:27 in length. And the band remains fascinated with suburbia and the kind of American darkness that many perhaps first perceive as teenagers living in an endless, drab grid, but others later while sitting in their first office cubicle. “The whole idea of those big, green lawns or movies that take place in suburbia like Virgin Suicides and It Follows—it’s such an interesting setting in its mundaneness,” O’Keefe said. “I don’t want to say we have matured. There’s still a high energy in our music. It’s more just [focusing on] weird fascinations or frustrations with what is happening in America, to manifest it in a song.”

The Orwells are fans of Dante Elephante— O’Keefe said Dante Elephante’s debut album, Anglo-Saxon Summer, is “one of the last rock ’n’ roll records that really excited me”—and the joint tour seemed like a perfect pairing. When they arrive in town on Saturday during their West Coast Tour, expect some teen spirit to arise. The elderly age away, but rock, so far, seems everlasting. To quote Dante Elephante guitarist Kevin Boutin:“I don’t care what the people say. Rock ’n’ roll is here to stay.” n

Pretty Lights

enver-based electronic musician Pretty Lights closed the Bowl’s concert season last Thursday night—not with a bang, but with a burst of light. The epic show was akin to a 1990s rave — imagine the bowl lit At the S.B. Bowl, up with glow sticks, bass Thu., Nov. 10. rattling in your chest, and dancing underneath the stars. Derek Smith, the man behind the turntable, may have paved the way for electronic dance music’s popularity in America, but he still produces his own distinct sound. His melodic blend of jazz, rock, soul, electronic, and hip-hop was

accompanied by a live band that added a special element to the show.

Although people were crammed like sardines on the general admission floor, there was neither a mosh pit nor crowd surfer in sight. This was perhaps unusual for such a large venue, but the feel-good vibes of Smith’s beats encouraged everyone to dance freely by themselves.

The giant dance party was unlike anything I’d ever seen at the Bowl, and it was a great reminder for Santa Barbarans that we know how to party. Smith, clad in sweatpants, summed it up best: “In four words: This shit — Savanna Mesch is dope.”

party tried to break out at the Arlington Theatre last Friday when The Stone Foxes and Trombone Shorty (pictured) came for a visit honoring Rotary’s global polio-eradication effort. But can you really party at the Arlington? The answer is, sort of. San Francisco’s At the Arlington bluesy rock band The Theatre, Fri., Nov. 11.

Stone Foxes played a head-banging set that got half the audience up and ready for action, leaving those who came for a jazzier experience seated in anticipation.“This is what rock was like in the ’70s,” exclaimed an audience member reveling in The Stone Foxes’ authentic sound.

Trombone Shorty took the audience on a 180-degree trip into the funk/jazz/hip-hop realm, encouraging the audience to dance as he played hits from his 2013 album Say This to Say That. Watching the band members shred on the saxophone, electric guitar, and, of course, the titular trombone was entertain-

ing, and the talent undeniable. The audience participation evoked by this performer made the Arlington a surprising venue, as you can’t dance your heart out to the spirit of New Orleans when you’re confined to the tight aisles. It would be interesting to see Shorty take a larger, more casual venue where you can let loose to the wild sound.

the Attention merchAnts

t

im wu begins his timely new book, The Attention Merchants: The Epic Scramble to Get Inside Our Heads, by pointing out a fact that many of us have probably long forgotten: “There was a time when, whether by convention or technological limitations, many parts of life—home, school, and social interaction among them — were sanctuaries, sheltered from advertising and commerce.”

Anyone with a smartphone or a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or YouTube account now knows that there is virtually no sanctuary from a constant barrage of headlines, images,

commercial pitches, and pleas designed to grab one’s attention, and that millions of us voluntarily relinquish our privacy.

Wu places efforts to seize the attention of the masses in context by looking back to the daily newspapers of 19th-century New York, and from there to the advent of radio and television, video games, the Internet, and the explosion of social media that seems as natural as sunlight now.

less relentless, but he does argue that all of us need to be aware & entertainment of the extent to which commercial advertising permeates our lives.

What we have to remember is that the quest for our attention, and by extension our money or political support, is calculated and — Brian Tanguay rarely benign.

reviews 

Speaking of our hyperconnected present, Wu notes, “Every sliver of our attention is fair game for commercial exploitation.” Even if you consider yourself a neo-Luddite and steadfastly refuse to create and maintain a digital identity, you can be subjected to advertising pitches while you pump gas or sit in your doctor’s waiting room. Wu understands that it is pointless to advocate for a return to a time when advertising and propaganda were

aughter really is the best medicine.

Following an election night that many would describe as nothing less than traumatizing, Whose Live Anyway? — the comedy foursome of Ryan Stiles, Greg Proops, Jeff B. Davis, and Joel Murray, plus musical wizard Bob Derkach — provided some direly needed healing through a hilarious prescription of improv games such as New Choice and Pocket Lines.

At the Granada Theatre, Wed., Nov. 9.

The troupe sweetly lampooned S.B. subjects, as in their giddily guffaw-inducing interpretation of solstice in a skit about the moon. The cast was as spot-on and comfortably at-ease in their off-the-cuff shenanigans as on the television show, and their good-spirited gags were a welcome breather from some anxiety-inducing circumstances. Thank you, Whose Live, for helping us smile.

t

he year 2016 was a rough year for the legions of fans of the many musical giants who shuffled off this mortal coil. Now, mournfully, Leonard Cohen’s name has been added to that tear-stained list of fallen stars.

You Want It Darker is Cohen’s fourteenth and last studio album — a parting masterpiece from a great soul who lived the examined life and left all of us the richer for it.

The title track, on which Cohen sings,“A million candles burning for the love that never came / You want it darker / We kill the flame,”

can’t help but be drearily emblematic of the zeitgeist of this moment in world and U.S. history. On “Treaty,” the artist dryly laments, history “I heard the snake was baffled by his sin / He shed his scales to find the snake within / But born again is born without a skin / The poison enters into everything.” “Traveling Light” finds a suave-voiced Cohen making peace with his mortality with wry humor and aplomb, and on the sagacious “Steer Your Way,” the mystic poet exalts the human potential for transcendence and truth in the face of death.

ANN HORNADAY, THE WASHINGTON POST

ATLANTA IS AN

Joel Edgerton

INTRICATE, SLY DRAMEDY Show Inhabits Helium-World Version of Donald Glover’s City

Written and Directed by

Jeff Nichols

All love is created equal.

W

hen the prodigious Donald Glover’s half-hour comedy series Atlanta first opened, it felt like a tightly wound sitcom. (It actually opens with a bang, but that’s another story.) In it, Glover, who also writes and sometimes directs, plays the ironically named Earn, a Princeton dropout who comes back to Atlanta and tries to make it while supporting a baby girl he clearly loves and a baby mama named Van, played

by Zazie Beetz, whom he seems to honestly cherish as a friend. The show sails by swiftly on beautifully paced carpets of little pleasures, visual and humorous. By episode two, Earn has made contact with his cousin Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry), who has just achieved infamy—the big bang mentioned earlier—as a rapper named Paper Boi. Earn wants to manage Boi, who seems to be struggling along with help from the enigmatic Darius (Keith Stanfield), and we can imagine the comedy conflict coming from somewhere between the middle-class world Earn has abandoned—presided over by Van—and the artsy and artistic chaos of Boi and Darius, who deal a little dope, too.

But that’s not what happens. Instead, the show inhabits a helium-world version of Glover’s Atlanta.

Rather than some sequential struggle, Glover keeps throwing down wildcards. In episode five, for instance, Van goes out with a fancy friend and smokes an “elephant” joint. She wakes up to her iPhone reminder that she has a urine test to pass if she wants to stay working in the school system. Her misadventures in a pee-cup substitution game are both gross and hilarious.

And Earn is rarely in the picture. The following show completely abandons the sitcom to create a half-hour, fictional black news program with a stiff but acute host grilling Paper Boi about his suspect views on gender politics. It includes pointed, fake commercials and a brilliant sub-feature about an African-American man who one day “realizes” he’s a 35-year-old white man and begins a medical conversion treatment.

finding sympathy for. But the real point is the joint. For the rest of the episode, the camera seems high—stopping on odd angles, lingering over surreal incidents —and the buzz seems both theme and method of the episode. It’s a small-screen doper mise-en-scène.

Glover — who acts, does stand up, and raps as Childish Gambino—is now a TV auteur, as well, even though the director of many great episodes is Hiro Murai, a longtime Glover collaborator. The show is intricate and sly, though not as profound as you might hope, except when sudden bursts of violence—such as a jailhouse beating of a crazy inmate—make you hold your breath. Glover is now officially the hardestworking man in show business from Atlanta, and he seems to have a lot on his mind at once. Luckily for us, he’s up to the cranial chronicle of his brain-high on his troubled city.

SCREENINGS O Notes on Blindness (90 mins., NR) In this brilliant and uniquely touching film, the audio diaries of the late John Hull, the respected theologian who was blind the last 30 of his 80 years, become the source for a reenacted tale of his struggles, despondency (“Every time I wake up, I lose my sight,” he says at one point), and acceptance of his condition.

Writers/directors Pete Middleton and James Spinney coat the eloquence in a heightened, mercurial visual and aural scheme, reminiscent of Paul Cox’s stunning blindness-themed 1986 film Cac-

tus. It’s a sad reflection on disability, to be sure, but also a strangely poetic and life-affirming paean to the pleasures of sentient life, even after a major sense is taken away. (JW)

A Man Called Ove (116 mins., PG-13) This 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.

O Doctor Strange

scientious objector who never carried a gun during the bloody Battle of Okinawa, was meant for the big screen.

As gruesome, gory, and stressful as the battle scenes are, the film is balanced out with Andrew Garfield’s quirky Southern charm and the epic love story of Doss and his wife, Dorothy, portrayed by the beautiful Teresa Palmer. This retelling of one of America’s greatest war heroes combines genres to create one unforgettable film. (SM) Fairview/Fiesta 5

(115 mins., PG-13)

In Marvel Comics’ adrenaline-charged origin story of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), he discovers that becoming a superhero is vastly more challenging and exhilarating than being the world’s greatest neurosurgeon. The film is cool, witty, and visually kaleidoscopic yet refreshingly free of bombs, bullets, and bazookas. Weapons are mesmerizingly conjured from light, while sorcery, mysticism, and flights to other dimensions play dominant roles. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton, and Mads Mikkelsen also star. (HDK)

O Shut In (91 mins., PG-13) Shut In may not be scary, but if you abandon expectations, it turns out to be a pretty enjoyable and twisted little tale about a mother (Naomi Watts) who begins to experience strange hauntings and hallucinations months after a car accident widows her and renders her son (Charlie Heaton) wheelchairbound. While beginning like your usually jumpy-spooks and ghouls type flick, it takes a surprisingly Hitchcockian turn to the psychological, with support from Oliver Platt as the movie’s most likable character, Watts’s therapist. A needless plot element revolving around a little boy lasts throughout, but otherwise, Shut In is better than its widespread panning suggests. (RD)

CANCER

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): There is a 97 percent chance that you will NOT engage in the following activities within the next 30 days: naked skydiving, tightrope walking between two skyscrapers, getting drunk on a mountaintop, taking ayahuasca with Peruvian shamans in a remote rural hut, or dancing ecstatically in a muddy pit of snakes. However, I suspect that you will be involved in almost equally exotic exploits — although less risky ones — that will require you to summon more pluck and improvisational skill than you knew you had.

(June 21-July 22): Kavachi is an underwater volcano in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. It erupts periodically, and in general makes the surrounding water so hot and acidic that human divers must avoid it. And yet some hardy species live there, including crabs, jellyfish, stingrays, and sharks. What adaptations and strategies enable them to thrive in such an extreme environment? Scientists don’t know. I’m going to draw a comparison between you and the resourceful creatures living near Kavachi. In the coming weeks, I bet you’ll flourish in circumstances that normal people might find daunting.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): By the time he died at the age of 87 in 1983, free thinker Buckminster Fuller had licensed his inventions to more than 100 companies.

But along the way, he often had to be patient as he waited for the world to be ready for his visionary creations. He was ahead of his time, dreaming up things that would be needed before anyone knew they’d be needed. I encourage you to be like him in the coming weeks, Libra. Try to anticipate the future. Generate possibilities that people are not yet ripe to accept, but will eventually be ready to embrace.

LEO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Does the word “revolution” have any useful meaning? Or has it been invoked by so many fanatics with such melodramatic agendas that it has lost its value? In accordance with your astrological omens, I suggest we give it another chance. I think it deserves a cozy spot in your life during the next few months. As for what exactly that entails, let’s call on author Rebecca Solnit for inspiration. She says, “I still think the [real] revolution is to make the world safe for poetry, meandering, for the frail and vulnerable, the rare and obscure, the impractical and local and small.”

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the film Bruce Almighty, Morgan Freeman plays the role of God, and Capricorn actor Jim Carrey is a frustrated reporter named Bruce Nolan. After Nolan bemoans his rocky fate and blames it on God’s ineptitude, the Supreme Being reaches out by phone. (His number is [716] 776-2323.) A series of conversations and negotiations ensues, leading Nolan on roller-coaster adventures that ultimately result in a mostly happy ending. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you Capricorns will have an unusually high chance of making fruitful contact with a Higher Power or Illuminating Source in the coming weeks. I doubt that (716) 776-2323 is the right contact information. But if you trust your intuition, I bet you’ll make the connection.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): The Onion, my favorite news source, reported, “It’s perfectly natural for people to fantasize about sandwiches other than the one currently in their hands.” You shouldn’t feel shame, the article said, if you’re enjoying a hoagie but suddenly feel an inexplicable yearning for a BLT or pastrami on rye. While I appreciate this reassuring counsel, I don’t think it applies to you in the coming weeks. In my opinion, you have a sacred duty to be unwaveringly faithful, both in your imagination and your actual behavior — as much for your own sake as for others’.

I advise you to cultivate an up-to-date affection for and commitment to what you actually have, and not indulge in obsessive fantasies about “what ifs.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I hesitate to deliver the contents of this horoscope without a disclaimer. Unless you are an extremely ethical person with a vivid streak of empathy, you might be prone to abuse the information I’m about to present. So please ignore it unless you can responsibly employ the concepts of benevolent mischief and tricky blessings and cathartic shenanigans.

Ready? Here’s your oracle: Now is a favorable time for grayer truths, wilder leaps of the imagination, more useful bullshit, funnier enigmas, and more outlandish stories seasoned with crazy wisdom.

Homework: Though sometimes it’s impossible to do the right thing, doing the half-right thing may be a viable option. Give an example from your life: FreeWillAstrology.com.

(July 23-Aug. 22): Seventeenth-century British people used the now-obsolete word “firktytoodle.”

It meant “cuddling and snuggling accompanied by leisurely experiments in smooching, fondling, licking, and sweet dirty talk.” The coming weeks will be prime time for you to carry out extensive experiments in this activity. But here’s an interesting question: Will the near future also be a favorable phase for record levels of orgasmic release? The answer: maybe, but IF AND ONLY IF you pursue firkytoodle as an end in itself; IF AND ONLY IF you relish the teasing and playing as if they were ultimate rewards, and don’t relegate them to being merely preliminary acts for pleasures that are supposedly bigger and better. P.S. These same principles apply not just to your intimate connections, but to everything else in your life, as well. Enjoying the journey is as important as reaching a destination.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s an experiment worth trying: Reach back into the past to find a remedy for what’s bugging you now. In other words, seek out an old, perhaps even partially forgotten influence to resolve a current dilemma that has resisted your efforts to master it. This is one time when it may make good sense to temporarily resurrect a lost dream. You could energize your future by drawing inspiration from possibilities that might have been but never were.

SCORPIO

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “We all have ghosts inside us, and it’s better when they speak than when they don’t,” wrote author Siri Hustvedt. The good news, Sagittarius, is that in recent weeks your personal ghosts have been discoursing at length. They have offered their interpretation of your life’s central mysteries and have provided twists on old stories you thought you had all figured out. The bad news is that they don’t seem to want to shut up. Also, less than 25 percent of what they have been asserting is actually true or useful. But here’s the fantastic news: Those ghosts have delivered everything you need to know for now, and will obey if you tell them to take an extended vacation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some spiders are both construction workers and artists. The webs they spin are not just strong and functional, but also feature decorative elements called “stabilimenta.” These may be as simple as zigzags or as complex as spiral whorls. Biologists say the stabilimenta draw prey to specific locations, help the spider hide, and render the overall stability of the web more robust. As you enter the web-building phase of your cycle, Aquarius, I suggest that you include your own version of attractive stabilimenta. Your purpose, of course, is not to catch prey, but to bolster your network and invigorate your support system. Be artful as well as practical. (Thanks to Mother Nature Network’s Jaymi Heimbuch for info on stabilimenta.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “Aren’t there parts of ourselves that are just better left unfed?” asked Piscean author David Foster Wallace. I propose that we make that one of your two keynotes during the next four weeks.

Here’s a second keynote: As you become more and more skilled at not fueling the parts of yourself that are better left unfed, you will have a growing knack for identifying the parts of yourself that should be well-fed. Feed them with care and artistry!

Meet Sammy

Sammy is looking for an owner who is the boss and will continue his training.

He is 4 years old, neutered, has all shots and is housebroken.

Meet Blue

Blue is a “doodle” that needs to find his forever home! He’s a little shy and probably shouldn’t be with small children.

Meet Lily

Lily or “Curly” was recently returned to us from her previous adopted family. She needs someone who is ready to commit! No small kids.

Meet Luna

Luna is very sweet but she needs to get to know her people. She was in a home with children but didn’t do well. She’s looking for a calm home.
