COVER STORY

Name: Bryce Aston Title: Copy Desk Intern Copy editors are the unsung heroes of all publications. It’s definitely not the job you go into for glory. But — without talking us up too much — I’d agree: Copy editors are the backbone, or at least a few vertebrae, of every publication. You’d be surprised how many misspelled names and misused commas we’ve saved the world from.

What do you enjoy most about the copyediting process? The satisfaction. There’s a very clean, rewarding feeling in having picked through something so thoroughly that you think, “All right. This is the best product we can put out, and I helped ensure that.” I take a lot of pride in the publications I work for, and I enjoy trying to make them their best.

Making State Street Great Again

NEWS BRIEFS

CITY

COUNTY

Harsh Truths and Ideas Old and New Presented by Vox Populi

I

Berti has long lambasted City Hall for allowing homeless people to gather on State Street. He vowed to spend $100,000 to help move the homeless to a location near County Jail. (That location falls outside the city’s jurisdiction, and his proposal might not be warmly received by county officials, in whose domain it lies.) Berti was hardly the only speaker to complain about people experiencing homelessness. Real estate investor Jason Jaeger, for example, suggested City Hall provide property owners easements that would give them the legal authority to use private security to police the public sidewalks adjoining their properties. While Johnson highlighted the accomplishments of the city’s restorative policing approach and the impact of the new, red-shirted “Ambassadors,” Mayor Murillo stressed the need for a center where homeless people could go during the day.

Many of the suggestions weren’t new; some, like the plan to turn State Street into a pedestrian promenade, have been kicking around more than 30 years. Still, it was surprising to hear attorney Steve Amerikaner — now a venerable icon of the downtown legal and business establishment—call for such a change. By replacing cars with people, Amerikaner suggested, City Hall could help create a vast “entertainment zone” extending 8-12 blocks. “I know it sounds bold; it sounds aggressive; but we can have outdoor dining almost year-round,” he said. If cities like Boulder, Colorado, and Burlington, Vermont, do, he added, certainly Santa Barbara and its balmier climate can, too.

Many pushed City Hall to get the lead out when it came to approving high-density housing downtown.

More bodies downtown, they argued, translates to more shoppers, more business, more tax revenues. Mickey Flacks, longtime affordable housing advocate, suggested building housing on top of the city’s parking garages.

Since the city already owns the land, she argued, housing costs could be contained. Other ideas were less vintage. Dance and music were too aggressively regulated, one self-identified young professional complained. “It’s just stuffy. Oh, you can’t dance here. Oh, you can’t have amplified music here.”

As many speakers noted, Tuesday was just the start of what promises to be a long civic discussion. “Everyone’s a critical part of the conversation,” Johnson said. In the meantime, she said she’ll pursue the pop-up idea as City Hall begins the process of hiring a consultant. n PAU L WELLM AN PHOTOS

by Nick Welsh t was one of those public meetings just bursting to happen.

The pews in Santa Barbara City Council chambers were packed tight; people stood in the aisles.

The back room designed for overflow crowds was overflowing. The issue at hand was State Street — what’s wrong with it, and how to fix it.

With the plethora of vacant storefronts, it’s hardly a new concern. What was new was the venue.

Dick Berti It was the first time the mayor and council have addressed the issue directly. Even more striking was the tone. Lots of harsh truths got spoken—especially about bureaucratic delays and high costs borne by businesses just trying to open their doors. Even so, the absence of rancor or defensiveness was remarkable. For Cathy Murillo, it was her first major moment since becoming mayor in January. She and Councilmember Randy Rowse had asked that the issue be placed on the agenda. It was her show to run.

In many ways, however, Tuesday’s gathering was the handiwork of longtime assistant administrator Nina Johnson, who got the conversation rolling with a succinct description of the problem, accompanied by a handful of quick fixes Amy Cooper that might jump-start the city’s retail core. Where storefronts are empty, Johnson suggested, short-term popup businesses ought to be allowed at lower rents without being subjected to the city’s expensive and grueling permit process. Also from her package of suggestions: block parties, street closures, kids’ nights, and more farmers’ markets.

Amy Cooper, owner of Plum Goods, had a list of 25 suggestions, too, approved by about 100 business and property owners. By the meeting’s end, at least 42 specific ideas Nina Johnson were floated. Chief among them: City Hall should hire an ombudsperson to some of the more aggressive rent schemes look out for the interests of business owners, developed to maximize returns for investors. it should also hire an economic development He rarely shows up at council meetings, let director and a consultant to figure out which alone speaks. In his ruminations Tuesday, suggestions should be pursued first, and it Berti compared Santa Barbara to a beautishould create a council subcommittee to ful woman. “This is the pretty lady that has oversee the work of the consultant. Ultimately, no date,” he said. “It’s too high a price. This is the council voted to do the last two. fatal attraction.” Berti talked about a tenant To the extent any one public speaker stole on the 600 block of State Street he said has the show, it was real estate investor Dick Berti, spent $1.5 million since January 2017 getting who for the past 50 years has been buying ready to open this week. He said he comped up and leasing downtown commercial real the tenant a year’s rent. “I don’t want to live estate. Berti — pushing 82 — has pioneered here anymore,” he added.“If I could, I’d move.”

California Coastal Commission Chair Dayna Bochco said last week that Executive Director Jack Ainsworth will be asking the State Lands Commission to “explore all potential options to open [public] access at Hollister Ranch.” The announcement got a thumbs-up from Susan Jordan, who leads one of four nonprofits that have together filed to intervene in a settlement struck between Hollister Ranch and the state. The settlement would expand chaperoned access for educational programs while opening Cuarta Beach to the general public via small boat or personal watercraft. The intervening nonprofits want to establish overland access along a trail. State Lands has never wielded its authority to acquire private property for public use through eminent domain.

The regulatory fate of short-term vacation rentals (STVRs) doing business on unincorporated coastal properties in Santa Barbara County will return to the Board of Supervisors on 8/28. Last week, the county ban on residential STVRs in the Coastal Zone was rejected by the California Coastal Commission, which has maintained that visitors need affordable lodging options near the sea.

The California Coastal Commission voted unanimously last week to support staff recommendations requiring Santa Barbara County to modify its Gaviota Coast Plan. In accordance with existing law, staffers emphasized that farmers and ranchers need to pull permits for new or expanded agricultural operations, though certain circumstances could be streamlined via what’s called “categorical exclusion.” The vote also okayed low-impact camping among endangered species habitat, an idea recently added to the plan, without environmental review.

Due to drastic changes in the market, namely China’s buying practices, recycled paper generated in Santa Barbara County is now yielding about $6 million annually, a $2 million drop from years past.

China has clamped down on how much it accepts and insists on higher-quality materials than it used to. “Our mantra used to be when in doubt, put it in the recycling bin,” said Leslie Wells, the county’s recycling czar. “Now it’s got to be, ‘Throw it out.’” Gone are the days when greasy pizza boxes could pass muster. Certain plastics that once had value in the world market no longer do. A new public education program is looming, Wells said.

NATURAL DISASTER Due to wildfire conditions, wood and charcoal fires are prohibited throughout Los Padres National Forest. However, visitors with a free permit — downloadable at fs.usda.gov/lpnf — will be able to use portable stoves in designated sites. Unpermitted recreational target shooting has also been temporarily banned; same with fireworks and operating an engine without a spark-arresting device. Smoking is not permitted, except inside a vehicle or building or at a designated campfire site.

Low-interest (2.385 percent) loans for impacted businesses total roughly $5 million. The application deadline for property-damage loans has expired, but small businesses and private nonprofits have until 10/15 to apply.

PETS Joining animal shelters nationwide on 8/18, the Santa Barbara Humane Society, Santa Maria Valley Humane Society, Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter, and ASAP (Animal Shelter Assistance Program) are offering free cat and dog adoptions during Clear the Shelters, an annual drive spearheaded by Hills Pet Nutrition, NBC, and Tele-

mundo. All adoption animals are fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

LAW & DISORDER The Sheriff’s Office is reporting a countywide spike in phone scams, the most active of which features a caller posing as an IRS agent demanding owed tax payments. In another scam, a caller impersonates a Homeland Security agent demanding that a would-be victim provide his or her date of birth, home address, and Social Security number. In some more sophisticated cases, caller ID may display that the scammer is phoning from the Sheriff’s Office or an 805 area code, according to a statement. “The Sheriff’s Office wants to remind residents that [we] do not call residents to notify them of a warrant, nor do we take any payments of any kind over the phone.” n PAU L WEL LM A N FI LE P HOTO

alifornia’s former lieutenant governor Abel Maldonado found himself uncomfortably scrutinized last week when San Luis Obispo County inspectors visited 30 acres of his family’s farmland to determine whether Maldonado was growing cannabis or hemp. Maldonado has insisted it’s the latter; county inspectors worried it was the former. The confusion is significant.

Wildfire Bailout for Utilities?

I

n the name of climate change, Governor Jerry Brown has asked California’s Legislature to give electric utility companies a pass on the strict liability they face when their equipment causes a fire. Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson is among those fighting back against the governor; she’s joined by consumer groups and some cities and counties insisting that the Legislature should be working to prevent the next fire, not wasting time on a proposal that the Legislature’s attorney believes is unconstitutional.

“The utilities have spent millions of dollars hiring just about every law firm to come in and lobby on their behalf,” Jackson said of the intense pressure legislators are under to arrive at a conclusion before the session ends August 31. At issue is whether strict liability — which dispenses with fault and goes straight to compensation for victims— should be replaced by a negligence standard, which could take years for a court to decide.

Many participating in the August 9 “Conference Committee — Wildfires” argued that the threat of strict liability has kept utilities striving to improve their grids.

Part of Brown’s argument has been that utility companies could face bankruptcy if 2018, for example, produces an electricity-

caused disaster like last year’s Thomas Fire, which has prompted lawsuits from some 1,500 plaintiffs against Southern California Edison.

The hearing testimony indicated strict– liability-imposed lawsuit costs could be backstopped by the Public Utilities Commission. “The PUC gets to make the decision,” Jackson explained.“If they say,‘Yes, you acted prudently,’ [an electric company] can increase rates, and the users end up paying” for the fire costs, she said. “If you didn’t act prudently, your shareholders pay by not getting the profits generated by the company.”

As for the governor’s argument that climate change has made electricity providers unfairly liable for more-easily sparked fires, Jackson said, “That’s the $64,000 question.”

or the past 29 years, Marc Martinez and his wife, Donna Egeberg, stood sentry dressed as 18th-century Spanish soldiers at the Mission doors during the annual Fiesta Pequeña ceremonial performance. This year — as Fiesta’s theme was “Celebrate Traditions”— Martinez and Egeberg were not allowed to assume their usual role. According to Iris Engstrand, a retired history professor from University of San Diego hired

by Old Spanish Days, there’s no record in historical documents “of the soldados standing guard at the Mission church.” Engstrand concluded tartly, “Apparently, those who attended mass did not need to be watched.”

Equally tartly, supporters of Martinez and Egeberg have noted there’s no historical record of St. Barbara ever walking through the Mission doors, as is depicted during the Pequeña performance. According to Scott Burns, who organized this year’s Pequeña, Martinez and Egeberg would have been allowed onstage as soldados but not wielding weapons in traditional guard-duty role.

The couple declined.

Efforts to shed them from the event are not new. Last year, Martinez and Egeberg were notified they could not perform, but they did so anyway, encouraged by a faction within Old Spanish Days that supported their participation. Their absence from this year’s event aroused the ire of Mayor Cathy Murillo, who demanded to know what happened.

Historically, the role of the soldados within the Spanish colonial world is highly charged with genocidal overtones.

Martinez acknowledged the disease and destruction wrought by Spanish colonial rule, but he stated the spread of infectious diseases was accidental, not intentional.

Many of the soldiers, he noted, were of Native American descent and married into Chumash families. “It’s a lot more complicated,” said Martinez, who has also served as a parade marshal. He added that Old Spanish Days has become less inclusive.

“It’s more of a class thing,” he said. “I’m a house painter. I don’t fit in anymore.”

City Loses Trip-and-Fall Verdict A 63-year-old woman won a $105,000 verdict against the City of Santa Barbara in a sidewalk trip-and-fall case after testifying from her hospice bed, where she’s now dying of cancer. If that wasn’t dramatic enough, jurors also heard a former city employee in charge of sidewalk repairs, Rick Fulmer, testify that faulty sidewalks are only repaired after complaints and that the city had no systematic approach to such problems.

At issue for the jurors was whether a threat was posed by the sidewalk uplift —measuring one and three-eighths of an inch—on Mason Street near where Patricia Dzukola had caught her bus to work for 24 years. Although Dzukola had walked that stretch thousands of times, on April 10, 2015, distracted by a loud noise, she tripped and fell, fracturing both wrists. Surgery was required. A majority of jurors initially doubted whether so slight an uplift could be considered dangerous, but jury foreman Jerry Compton, a retired Delco employee, persuaded them otherwise. That was key to the outcome of the trial.

“I looked at the picture—it didn’t look that dangerous,” Compton said. “But when you trip on it, it’s probably dangerous.”While Dzukola’s hospice-bed testimony was emotionally searing, it was Fulmer’s testimony —that he’d been met with silence the three times he suggested to his superiors a more proactive approach to sidewalk repairs — that sealed the deal. After the verdict, Fulmer’s replacement, Jim Dewey, dismissed his predecessor as a disgruntled former employee and his charges as “ridiculous.” The city has 400 miles of sidewalks to maintain, Dewey said; last year, it made 743 repairs, far more than the number of complaints — 66 — filed. With last year’s passage of Measure C—a road and infrastructure repair bond — Dewey said the amount of money for sidewalk repairs would jump from $250,000 a year to $1 million.

Dzukola was represented by attorney John Richards, who said the verdict was to cover costs of medical treatment and lost wages. “To me, it’s not a lot of money, but it’s a very big case,” he said. “This was needless.”

Saving Mountain Dwellers from Wildfire

FIRE

by Melinda Burns very major block of native chaparral on the South Coast mountainsides has burned in this century, with three exceptions. The Gaviota Coast from Arroyo Hondo to Refugio Canyon hasn’t burned since the 1950s, and there’s no record of when Hollister Ranch last burned. But the biggest threat to lives and homes, authorities say, would be a wildfire on the steep slopes that run from the foothills of the eastern Goleta Valley up to San Marcos Pass and down the other side to Paradise Road. Much of the south-facing chaparral on those slopes hasn’t burned since the Painted Cave Fire, a sundowner blaze that was set near the pass by an arsonist in June 1990. It still ranks as the most destructive wildfire in Santa Barbara County, with one fatality and 640 structures lost.

“Among the fire chiefs and firefighters, we’re looking at San Marcos Pass as the place where it’s inevitable — in a short amount of time, we’re going to see the next iteration of the Painted Cave Fire,” said Rob Hazard, a battalion chief and deputy fire marshal with the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. In all, more than 7,300 people live in 12 picturesque enclaves stacked up and down both sides of the pass over the Santa Ynez Mountains. They include the San Marcos foothills, East and West Camino Cielo, Painted Cave, San Marcos Trout A DAY’S WORK: Firefighters mop up after the roughly 20-acre Lookout Fire, in 2012, off San Marcos Pass, Club, and Paradise Canyon.

Will More Fuel Breaks on San Marcos Pass Protect Them?

E

A PLAN IN LIMBO

Jeff Kuyper, executive director of ForestWatch, a nonprofit conservationist group, together with Urban Creeks and the scientific advisors, has argued that the plan should be focused on retrofitting homes, not on altering the natural landscape. The county should seek state and federal grants to help mountain residents “harden” their homes and establish defensible space around them, Kuyper said. Currently, no state money is earmarked for that purpose. Things fell apart in January after a few team members disparaged the scientific advisors in an internal email chain, suggesting they were not real experts. Kuyper quit the team, and so did Dan McCarter, vice president of Urban Creeks.

“The plan was very much tilted toward clearing of vegetation,” Kuyper said in a recent interview. “We keep doing the same thing over and over again. We can make all the fuel breaks in the world, but embers can travel far, and unless structures are fire safe, that work is all going to be forgotten.”

‘CONDITIONS CAN BE SO EXTREME’

In the past, about 1,500 acres of chaparral have been cleared by county and Los Padres crews and private landowners in the 12 mountain communities. Yet a 2011 study of four Southern California forests, including Los Padres, found that fuel breaks stop fires only 47 percent of the time.

Firefighters know that fuel breaks won’t stop a wildfire on San Marcos Pass from blasting down the canyons like a blowtorch in 75-mile-per hour sundowner winds. The Painted Cave Fire itself jumped all six lanes of Highway 101. But fuel breaks, firefighters say, can help them flank an unruly wildfire and set backfires.

“Conditions can be so extreme that there’s just nothing you can do,” said Phil Seymour, a Painted Cave resident who cochairs the San Marcos team with Hazard and has been a seasonal firefighter with the Los Padres Hotshots crew.

“What we’re planning for, to give us a best chance at surviving, is a reasonable worst-case fire. The whole point of the fuel clearing is so that when it gets here, it won’t be a solid wall of flames.”

But some residents object to what they view as scars on the landscape that mar the natural look. They’re concerned about the flammable grasses that have invaded those cleared areas.

‘Among the fire chiefs and firefighters, we’re looking at San Marcos Pass as the place where it’s inevitable.’

And they fear that the fuel breaks are giving their neighbors a false sense of security.“It’s much harder to convince people they really need to pay attention to their own property, understand that their house is among the driest fuel on the landscape, and plan accordingly,” said Carla D’Antonio, a UCSB professor of environmental studies who lives in Painted Cave and is an advisor for the San Marcos plan. “People up here want to have these fuel breaks because it takes some of the n responsibility off themselves.”

Experiencing Life in Deportation Nation An Interview with Sociologist and Author Greg Prieto COU RTESY

S

by Blanca Garcia

ociologist Greg Prieto’s Immigrants Under Threat: Risk and Resistance in Deportation Nation (NYU Press) takes a stark look at our Santa Barbara community. The book is a culmination of Prieto’s years of research for his doctoral dissertation at UCSB, during which time he collaborated and worked with local nonprofits, participating in their various campaigns in order to understand the everyday risks of immigrants in our communities and how they respond to those threats. Prieto now teaches sociology at the University of San Diego.

Why should anyone read the book? The book brings

people into the world of migrant folks to understand what their concerns and what their aspirations are. The narrative is not just how hard immigrants have it, but why they are moved to risk so much. The second piece is that the immigrant rights struggle really gives citizens like us a window into a better political order, and in that way, the folks struggling from the margins of politics are showing us what a more just and equitable United States would look like.

What stood out for you about Santa Barbara’s immigrant community and how it interacts with social movements?

Immigrant folks really only have the bandwidth to deal with the struggles that are immediately present. But those same survival strategies also allow them to understand their grievances as a manifestation of broader injustices. Organizers can then leverage the threats that exist in the political climate to spur [immigrants] to action.

Even folks living in the margins of American political life are going to find ways to push back on the structures that immiserate them. The question is not whether they will resist, but what form that resistance will take.

Considering our current administration, what kind of social movements make a difference in the lives of immigrants? There is

no opportunity in the White House, so we can try to reapply that pressure at the state and local level. And we’ve done that.

Though deportation has always happened and, of course, is hugely consequential and devestating, the biggest issue for migrant folk in Santa Barbara a few years ago was 30-day car impoundments. One group ran a campaign to end this policy. At the time, undocumented people [couldn’t] qualify for a license, and when they were driving on the road they got their cars taken away. I ran into people who had four or five cars taken away in the span of a year. That is a massive expense for a low-income family. We couldn’t get then police chief Cam Sanchez to stop impounding the cars of undocumented drivers, but he agreed to end that 30-day impound, and that meant the difference between several hundred dollars versus several thousand. So there are these small ways, at the local levels, that get migrant folks some relief.

and empowerment. She fled domestic violence in her native country, came to California with her children, and eventually settled in Santa Barbara. Here she met another man, and the abuse began anew. In her case, you see the most extreme example of what can happen when your undocumented status pushes you into the shadows of law and politics. She refused to call the police for months because she was worried about deportation.

When the man began threatening her young son, she was finally spurred into action. She met a woman whom I call Esmeralda, a community liaison, who introduced Ximora into social movement activities, where she began to come out of her shell. Over the course of our interview, we see a woman who describes herself as being alone, scared, and unable to ask for help to somebody who knows she has rights and is ready to demand them.

You mention that immigrants are very aware of injustices. What are some examples of this?

One example jumps to mind immediately. A father with a wife and young child worked as a day laborer. One day, he and his crew were speaking in Spanish during lunch, and the white foreman, who had hired them at a daylabor center, thought they were making fun of him. He flies off the handle, gets in their face, and basically kicks them off the job site.

They weren’t talking about him at all. They were just laughing in a language that this man didn’t know. That really echoes a scholarly refrain when we’re describing what immiVOICE FOR VOICELESS: Elated by the publication of his first grant politics are like: “We want your labor, book, which includes a number of interviews, Greg Prieto said, “I but we don’t want you.” Here is a man that was almost taken aback by the emotion and forcefulness of the at the start of the interview is really pleased interviews. That sense that you’re being treated in a fundamentally with his life in Santa Barbara, and yet there unfair way — this was something [immigrants] felt a lot of the time was this abiding sense that Mexicans will do and that really stuck with me.” the kind of work that no one else will do for almost nothing and receive no respect for it.

One way immigrants were getting their cars impounded And I heard that again and again and again: was because of rosaries hung around their rearview “If our labor is valuable, then you should also value our lives.” mirror, is that right? The most common thing we heard was that people were pulled over for These interviews tie the immigrant experience directly into the taillights being out, but the other one we heard whole fabric of Santa Barbara life.

Your book included many interviews, especially one with a woman called Ximora. Tell us about her story. Ximora was somebody

sitting on the edge of that transition between immobilization

‘

If our labor is valuable, then you should also value our lives.

’

So this is why you consider community service work so important?

Movements can’t be sustained if it’s up to just the folks that are most directly impacted. Those most affected by the deportation policies are those least available to combat them. We need leaders backed up with resources, organizations, and networks.

All of us, whether with our time or with our money, should be investing in these organizations because they are the critical infrastructure that carve out spaces of security. Every single person in Santa Barbara, and throughout this country, has an opportunity to make a real, concrete difference in the daily experience of the most vulnern able among us.

Big-Money Gala at Bellosguardo

The Bellosguardo Foundation — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit chaired by Dick Wolf —was formed four years ago but has made little progress in carrying out Clark’s will.

According to its tax records, it has raised just enough money to cover the salary of its president, Jeremy Lindaman, who collected $265,000 between 2015 and 2017. Most of that money came from Clark’s estate, Wolf himself, and a few of the foundation’s boardmembers. Meanwhile, the property remains saddled with approximately $12 million in deferred maintenance.

Lindaman has come under repeated criticism for his management of the $95 million estate. He has declined to publicly answer any questions about the charity’s operations or plans for a public opening. The foundation’s 2017 tax return (the most recent available) lists its activities for that year as “board formation, community outreach, and monitoring estate proceedings.” —Tyler Hayden

Elizabeth Hollingsworth 05/03/61-08/06/18

On August 6, 2018, the world lost the kindest, sweetest, most caring and compassionate woman the world has ever known. Elizabeth Hollingsworth was a woman whose smile lit up a room, instantly inviting everyone around her to share in her happiness and warmth. She loved without judgment, accepting every person for who they are and finding the good in each of their hearts. She was the first to jump in to help, the first to lend a hand, and selflessly never hesitated to think of herself or ask for anything in return. She listened fully and with a rare, genuine compassion, looking you in the eye and giving you her full attention no matter what.

When she smiled her brilliantly beautiful smile, we smiled; when she giggled that infectious giggle, we giggled; and when she cried a deep, caring cry for a loved one, friend, fellow human, or animal, we cried with her.

Liz was a hugger, embracing those around her in her arms and comforting us with her compassion and hope. On one of her favorite shirts, the definition of love is written: “Love: To have benevolent concern for the welfare of others, i.e. animals, nature, family, friends, your community, and the world in which you live…” This was Liz. She embodied this love in every element of her life and was forever concerned for the welfare of those around her.

She was the woman who raised hundreds of monarchs, protecting their delicate bodies, as they grew stronger until they could fly away and experience the world and its awe. She was the woman who walked among the sequoia trees, astounded by their overwhelmingly natural beauty as they reached deep into the earth through their roots and then high up into the heavens with their branches. She was the woman who remained unwaveringly and passionately loyal to her family- as a sister, a daughter, a wife, and an aunt to so many.

She loved her husband, sisters, parents, nieces and nephews, and extended family deeply, always thinking of how she could send love even when she 18

moved across the country. She treasured her friends and her community- both those in New York, Florida, and Santa Barbara, and throughout the world. She was always there to jump on the phone for a needed call after a loved one had a rough day or to bring a meal to a community member in need. She loved her fellow human being, even those she did not know or had not yet met, and dedicated her voice, time, and passion to making the world a better place for every single person.

Born Elizabeth Ann Kearns on May 3, 1961 to parents Francis and Margaret in the Bronx, New York, the family soon after welcomed Liz’s sisters Karen and Diane. They moved from New York to New Jersey before returning to New York, this time settling in Northport on Long Island. Throughout her life as a young adult, Liz worked tireless as a waitress and across customer service jobs, always trying to find ways to support her family and add to their prosperity. She took courses, following a thirst to educate herself and to learn and grow to become the best person she could be for others. A child of the ‘70s, Liz valued and celebrated peace and love deeply and sought to spread this to her family, friends, and community with open arms and a full heart.

In August of 2004, after reconnecting in a romantic, serendipitous way, Liz moved to Santa Barbara, California to be with the love of her life, Larry Hollingsworth. Liz’s father brought her out to California, driving through America’s southern plains, the deserts, and the mountains to greet the warm, brilliant Santa Barbara sun.

Larry stood waiting for her here, with a love for Liz stronger than most ever feel or know. Together they built a life here. They sipped coffee in the early morning hours as they watched the sun light up the green oasis of plants that decorated their home and then started the day, hiking and biking outdoors in the sunny, California warm days. After dinner each night, Liz and Larry would walk around the neighborhood, greeting the neighborhood cats by name, giggling about funny moments in their days, and listening to the silence as the neighborhood settled in for the night. They would return home and snuggle up, enjoying the quiet comfort of home and one another.

On October 10th, 2010 (“10/10/10”) at 10:10am, Liz married Larry in the Mission Rose Garden on a beautiful, sunny, warm Santa Barbara day. Just

AUGUST 16, 2018

as the pastor pronounced them man and wife, the Mission bells rang, a sign that all had aligned to celebrate the love between them. Larry cherished his wife, putting her on a pedestal and admiring and appreciating all that she was. Their love was natural, effortless, and without question. Liz helped Larry become a better person, finding the best version of himself when he stood by her side. She slowed him down, reminded him to smell the roses and appreciate the beauty in each moment. He taught her to love unconditionally with a pure heart, to show kindness to those around him without question, and to giggle at life’s silly moments. The couple approached life’s obstacles together, hand in hand, always showing one another respect and loving with patience, trust, and hope. There was not a day that went by that they did not say “I love you,” and, each day, they celebrated their found love with a mandatory six kisses, at least.

Their love was vibrant, their souls aligned, and they stood by one another even in the hardest moments.

Liz fell in love with the beauty of Santa Barbara and its people, immediately knowing that it was here that she wanted to “put down her roots,” as her sister Diane tenderly said. Here, with Larry by her side, Liz became an avid hiker and lover of the outdoors, finding a whole new world of untouched trails through the Santa Barbara Mountains. Her eyes lit up with excitement as she turned each corner, finding a view of her beloved city that she had never laid eyes on before.

Together, Liz and Larry exploring the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Grand Canyon, trekking the Bright Angel Trail. Liz hiked with a smile on her face and the wind in her beautiful blond hair, never complaining or wanting to turn back. Together, they traveled to nearby Quartzsite, Arizona to find colorful geodes, gems, and crystals, which they used to create mosaic pieces of art to decorate the walls of their home. They gave these treasured, hand-made creations to give to family and friends, sending them back East and spreading their love with each piece.

But among all of the picturesque natural spots they visited, Liz’s favorite spot was Yosemite National Park. A place of breathtaking beauty that felt untouched, unspoiled, and brimming with its natural purity, it was here that she found her beloved sequoia trees. Liz loved the vast, wide openness of the mountains- the power of their

beauty, the feeling of being a small part of something so much bigger in this life than herself.

Liz approached life in this way, seeing herself as connected to others and dedicated to something larger than herself. She brought together people from different parts of life, welcoming all with open arms and reminding us that we always have a friend nearby. She lived her life for those around her, celebrating their joy and doing anything she could to help one in need.

One day, during one of the big California fires, Liz mysteriously found $250 on the ground in a parking lot. She stood for some time, trying to find the owner, but it remained unclaimed. Liz eventually took the money but, rather than spending it on herself, she asked Larry to drive to Costco. There, she purchased $250 worth of food to feed the animals displaced by the fire, animals who needed love and attention just as much as our communities reeling from the impact of the fires.

Liz held on to each memory; she saved every card, letter, picture, and stone. Her happiness came from those around her and the joy that each of those she loved found in life.

She asked for nothing in return.

Liz mentored many in her community, using the challenges she had overcome in her own life to give comfort to others and help them continue forward and grow with peace and hope.

Liz dedicated herself to her job at Alta Orthopedics, where she was a faithful employee for over ten years. Liz always went above and beyond. She was the type of employee who finished her work and, rather than clocking out early, turned to a coworker, asking how she could help to share in the work still on his or her plate. Her dedicated work ethic, focus, strength, and compassion was unmatched. On days off, when they weren’t exercising outdoors, Liz and Larry loved to go to garage sales and swapmeets. Here, she found beauty in trinkets and treasures that had been cast away. She carried them home, brushed them off, and gifted them to her family, friends, and neighbors in need of a smile.

On August 6th, in the evening just as the beautiful Santa Barbara sun tucked itself in and welcoming the dusk, Liz passed away peacefully in the arms of her husband. She was surrounded by her mother, sister, and extended family, here in California and throughout the country. Liz was proceeded in death by her father Francis and sister Karen and is survived by

her husband, her mother Margaret, her sister Diane and Diane’s husband Dominic and children Nicole and Michael, her sister Karen’s daughter Deidra, loving aunts, uncles, and cousins on the Kearns side, and her loving extended Hollingsworth family.

Liz is, and will forever be, deeply missed. She will remain in our hearts and minds for eternity, and we will each show kindness to others each day to honor her and her spirit.

A celebration of life will be held in the future; date and time to be set in the future. If you would like to donate in Liz’s honor, please support the Wildlife Rescue Organization. Thank you for keeping keep Liz- and her radiant smile- if your hearts.

Please send condolences to her loving husband, Larry Hollingsworth, at larhol@aol.com

He was a brother to Scott, Mike, Mark and Bryan Holmstrom.

In 1965 Steve moved to California where he met the love of his life, Gail. Steve and Gail met in Santa Monica and later relocated to La Conchita. There they raised their two children, Christopher “Chris” and Jennifer “Jenny May” Holmstrom. Gail predeceased Steve on January 13, 2010.

Since the closing of “Cowboystar Guitars” and Gail’s passing, Steve continued to reside in La Conchita and spent a lot of time in Carpinteria creating wonderful memories with his three grandchildren Emma, Nathan and Travis. He also continued his hunt for rare musical items.

Since his passing, many locals and musicians have reached out to Steve’s family with stories of his kindness, generosity and patience and have expressed sadness over the loss of his friendship.

Steven Bruce Holmstrom will also be remembered for his sense of humor. He had a quick dry wit with brilliance. He loved the absurdity of life. At his shop Cowboystar Guitars he was about the experience and not making the buck. His low-pressure sales technique included, "You don't want to buy that Lou." Even if Steve knew your name you were called Bob' or 'Lou'.

A celebration of his life will take place on August 25, 2018, in the Mackenzie Park Center in Santa Barbara from 12:00PM to 3:30 PM.

Steve Holmstrom of “Cowboystar Guitars” reunited with his beloved wife, Gail, on July 17, 2018.

Steve was an important member of the Santa Barbara music community (and world) because of his vast musical knowledge and resources. His shop was located in what is now the “Funk Zone” and was THE place to go to for hard to find musical equipment, invaluable advice and a good laugh! Steve was also an antique rug expert and artist.

Steve was born in Minnesota to Bruce and Gloria Holmstrom.

Beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, healer, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones July 13, 2018.

Born Mary Lonnie Wu March 26, 1942 in New York City, to Chinese immigrants William T. Wu and Jesse Chan. Lonnie grew up in Chinatown, NYC. At age 12, she had the fortunate oppor-

tunity to live with her extended Mennonite family where she experienced the joys of farm life and graduated from Lancaster Mennonite High School in Mt Joy, PA. Thereafter she attended nursing school in Mt. Vernon, New York where she received her RN degree. She began her nursing career at Deepdale Hospital in Queens, NY where she was quickly promoted to head nurse.

Then moved to Long Beach Memorial, on Long Island. It was during this period she started her family.

In 1978 Lonnie moved to Santa Barbara, California with her three children to pursue a new life. She continued to work as an ICU nurse full time at Goleta Valley Hospital but increasingly became interested in alternative medicine so she attended and graduated from the first graduating class of The California Acupuncture College in 1981 and shortly thereafter received her DOM, Doctorate in Oriental Medicine - all the while raising three kids! She was one of the first Acupuncturists to work intergratively with medical professionals in Santa Barbara, namely Dr. Arthur Kaslow. Lonnie also had Hospital privileges at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital successfully blending her knowledge of Eastern and Western Medicine.

Lonnie opened her acupuncture clinic in 1985 and proudly worked along side her son Anthony until he opened his own practice. Lonnie was voted Best Acupuncturist in Santa Barbara countless times with her son always runner up.

She was a gifted healer and her intuition was always her guide.

She touched countless families and people in her fifty years in the healing profession with her compassion and knowledge. She loved treating children - this was her passion and specialty. Her gift also helped couples become families. She practiced until 2016.

Lonnie was also the ultimate adventurer. Whether it was to simply catch the last rays of the day, family tripping through China, meeting her kids at the crack of dawn as they hiked up to the Sun Gate at Macchu Picchu, visit her ultimate teacher’s home in Lhasa, Tibet, volunteering for AeroMedical to treat people in remote part of Mexico, trail maintenance in Patagonia or volunteering at the bookstore at the Vedanta Temple.

When she wasn’t on the move you would have found her practicing Tibetan Buddhism, giggling with her extended family of friends, tending to her garden, eating yummy food and occasionally, getting into a bit of mischief!

Lonnie was preceded in death

by her parents and brother Robert Tsang and sister Thelma Wolgemuth. She is survived by her children: Adrienne Kar, Anthony Kar (Evelyn) and Deirdre Kar Hasson (Stuart), granddaughter Calais Storey (Luke), and the love of her life, greatgrandson, Finley Ian Storey. Also, brothers Barney Yee, Donald Yee (Karen) and John Wolgemuth (Aunt Thelma), sister Daryl Giampieri (Paul) and Lois Wolgemuth, nephews Theon Giampieri (Jean), Elliot Leong (Lorraine) and Noel Yee, nieces Vanessa Lew (David) and Becky Yee, grand nephews Tyler Yee, DJ Lew, Titus Giampieri, and Rhys Leong, grand nieces Katie Lew, Sarah and Katie Bond, and goddaughter Lia Welkom.

A Special mention to her country family from Mount Joy, Pa. The Wolgemuth’s. (you guys are too many to name!) It was with their love that she found peace and a loving environment to grow. You all are in our hearts and minds forever.

Lonnie’s Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 25th, 3 p.m., at the Santa Barbara Vedanta Temple. Donations can be made on behalf of Lonnie to these amazing organization who assisted Lonnie through her final journey: Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care, Santa Barbara, Hospice of Santa Barbara, Food from the Heart, and The Dream Foundation.

Dorothy C. Campbell 1922-2018

Dorothy Campbell passed away peacefully July 20th at her home in Carpinteria. Born in 1922 to Victor and Ella Conquest and raised on the south side of Chicago, Dorothy went to Iowa State University, majoring in journalism and home economics and graduating in 1943. Here she met Foster, who she married and who became her life-long partner. In the midst of WW II, with Fos, a radar operator on an aircraft carrier in the South Pacific, Dorothy went to New York City with no money, stayed at the YWCA, and found a job in journalism. This self-confidence and can-do spirit was a life-long characteristic. After the war ended, Fos and Dorothy moved west from Cambridge, Mass. to Pasadena, where Fos worked in the emerging electronics indus-

INDEPENDENT.COM

try and eventually started his own business, which became Kilovac Corporation. Dorothy was busy raising 4 kids, leading scout packs, involved in PTA, and writing a column for the Pasadena Star News. In 1969, sick of the smog and looking for a place where the business could expand, the family and the business moved to Carpinteria and found a welcoming community.

Dorothy helped start a girls club (now Girls Inc. of Carpinteria) so that the young girls whose moms worked at Kilovac would have a place to go after school. She also worked as a scout for Better Homes and Gardens for 17 years, traveling around California finding unique gardens and collaborating with the photographers and editors to produce magazine articles. In 1982, she was honored as “Carpinterian of the Year” by the local chamber of commerce. Her strong belief that the Carpinteria community could raise millions of dollars in just a very few months to purchase the Carpinteria Bluffs open space turned out to be correct and, with the hard work of many, the Bluffs is protected forever. The Dorothy Campbell Trail honoring her efforts can be found there today. Dorothy was also involved with the local League of Women Voters and enjoyed many friendships through her participation in the League.

A proud grandmother of seven and great grandmother of four, Dorothy loved her time with the little ones as well as traveling the world with Fos. Home stays in Japan and England were special experiences they shared. Thanks to the help of a team of strong women caregivers led by neighbor Leslie Saenz, Dorothy was able to live out her life in her home with its shady brick patio and flower gardens. She is survived by her husband Foster; her sons, Doug, Don, and Steve, all living nearby, and daughter Kathy (Bressler) from Wilson Wyoming; her grandchildren Foster, Rosie, Jason, Lauren and Erin Campbell, Matt Urias, and Jenny Carr; and her great-grandchildren, Tosh and Chloe Carr and Charlotte and Oliver Campbell. No date for a memorial service has been set as yet. Those wishing to honor Dorothy are encouraged to make a charitable donation to the Girls Inc. of Carpinteria.

Bob Lovejoy 1948 – 2018

Started Three Pickles and Saved Jimmy’s

R

BY W I L LY G I L B E R T

obert Harry Lovejoy did not suffer a long and painful death.

There he was joking and laughing one day, and poof! … gone the next. His friends and family can take comfort in that. Yet his death has brought a large void into this world, especially in our Santa Barbara community.

I met Bob in the mid-’80s while I was a bartender at Jimmy’s Oriental Gardens.

He had come in with a couple of gals after they’d played in a coed softball game. A few drinks later, Bob went to the restroom, and when he returned, his friends had left, sticking him with the bar tab. He had no money and promised to return the next day to pay. Next he asked if he could borrow $20 for a cab ride home.

This man, whom I had never met, wants to run a tab and borrow 20 bucks? Yet there was something about this guy that I thought to myself, “Go ahead.” Of course he was back the next day to pay and added a handsome gratuity. He became a regular at Jimmy’s and entertained us all with great stories and stale jokes.

One of my favorites was about Bob and his grandfather working together on a project. His grandfather stopped for a minute, looked at Bob, and said, “Bobby, you couldn’t put an asshole on a hobby horse with a power drill!” I borrow that line repeatedly when confessing my own mechanical shortcomings.

After more than 30 years as a successful tile contractor, Bob realized one of his dreams: to open a deli with his son, Clay, and partner, Bob McCourt. They opened Three Pickles in 2006, and Bob was very pleased to be just across the alley from his favorite hangout. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that Jimmy’s was closing in about a month, but he was one of the first people I entrusted with this secret.

Jimmy’s was sold to the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation. They were receiving several calls weekly about leasing the bar. After moving his deli to the old Jimmy’s dining room, Bob, a dreamer

and a risk-taker, somehow got his foot in the door exclusively to open his bar. It was completely gutted, and they started all over, converting the space back to its original state. The finished product was awe inspiring, and the business was an instant success.

It was Bob’s masterpiece.

Bob had been recruiting me for almost a year, and I finally decided to run his bar for him. He told many that “the success of this business depended upon Willy,” but he would’ve done well without me.

He was generous with not only his heart, but his wallet as well. During our recent fires, Bob was donating sandwiches to the fire crew at Station 1. The deli also fed Forester baseball players and UCSB basketball players. He was generous to a fault when sitting in his usual spot at The Pickle Room, where he would buy drinks for many.

It has been my extreme privilege, and the privilege of many, to have this man as a friend. He was honest, loyal, and funny as hell. There is no replacement for you, my friend. I wrote a song for Bob, but he only got to hear it a cappella on the golf course one day. This is the last verse, sung to the tune of Cab Calloway’s “Minnie the Moocher”:

If you’re ever in the mood For a drink or a beer Get offa your couch And come on down here We’ll listen to some tunes Maybe knock a couple down

About Last Week’s Paper …

S

outhern California Edison (SCE), like gas and oil companies, regulates itself. For 25 years, I have complained to SCE about the dangers of power lines, wires, and transformers crisscrossing through heavy vegetation. For 25 years, SCE’s slick PR team assured me there was no danger.

When I asked about burying power lines, SCE always said,“It’s too expensive.” Many coastal towns in Eastern Europe, including our sister city Kotor, Montenegro, have their utilities safely underground despite their country’s economic hardships.

For SCE to turn off our power during severe weather conditions is a confession of how dangerous their antiquated system truly is.

Ojai Water Transition

T

he article “Ojai Rejects Private Water Company” [independent.com/ojaiwater] from July 26 incorrectly presented several important points about Ojai’s buyout of Golden State Water Company. I’ve worked for both Casitas Municipal Water District and Golden State, and both are good organizations, albeit very different.

Claims of lower water bills as a result of the move to Casitas are misleading and only compare the two utilities’ water bills. These claims completely ignore that the purchase of the water system was financed by the largest property tax increase in Ojai history, which has added as much as $2,000 to a resident’s annual tax bill, the equivalent of $166 per month, regardless of how much or how little water they use. Additionally, Casitas initiated a plan to raise water rates by 12 percent, every year through June 2022, in addition to the huge property tax increase.

All water providers face challenges, but attempting to justify the move from Golden State Water to Casitas without considering all the facts is just plain wrong, and early returns are not as promising as proponents desperately want people to believe. —Floyd Wicks, Montecito, former CEO, Golden State Water Co.

W

...

ith 87.4 percent of Ojai residents voting to tax themselves in order to get rid of Golden State Water Company, you can imagine my surprise at Floyd Wicks’s attempt to defend the company that the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) once stated had “a culture of deceit [and] a culture of lessthan-transparent operations.” (CPUC hearing video: tinyurl.com/OjaiWater at the 11:15 mark.) But when you realize that Wicks used to be CEO of Golden State Water and overseer of the company’s corporate culture, then you know his defense of the ousted water company should be taken with the proverbial drop of saltwater.

The allegation by ex-CEO Wicks that lower water bills are “misleading” and “completely ignore … the property tax increase” is completely false. Ojai voters knew exactly what property taxes they would be paying to remove Golden State. The community is now saving hundreds of thousands of dollars even with the property taxes factored in. It’s simple math: Golden State Water cost more than $3 million more per year than that same amount of water costs from Casitas. Therefore, Ojai saves more than $3 million per year x 30 years = $90 million. The maximum bond cost is $60 million paid over 30 years.

Early returns are actually even more promising than even the proponents believed.

For the Record

¶ The Ojai water story was unclear about the 115 leaks in the system; they occurred in 2009-2010, when Ojai FLOW mounted an effort to remove Golden State Water. ¶ Last week’s news brief regarding the Gaviota Coast Plan contained inaccuracies: Coastal Commission staff did not reject the plan, as reported, but did require modifications and that Santa Barbara County enforce existing laws for new or expanded agricultural operations in the Coastal Zone and the protection of endangered species habitat. ¶ The previous week, August 1, the news story about the Dario Pini properties incorrectly stated receiver costs were $5,600 per property; they are about $7,500.

From Little Free Libraries to Reading Lists to a Literary Interview

Seymour Hersh

REPORTER: A MEMOIR The Life and Work of

Seymour Hersh

“I am a survivor,” Seymour Hersh writes in his new book, Reporter: A Memoir, “from the golden age of journalism.” That age, before cable news and the internet and the 24/7 news cycle, when newspapers were the primary source of information for most people and reporters had the resources to dig deep into stories, is long gone. “We are sodden with fake news,” Hersh laments, “hyped-up and incomplete information, and false assertions delivered nonstop by our daily newspapers, our televisions, our online news agencies, our social media, and our President.”

Starting out as a freelance reporter, Hersh went on to work for the New York Times and then the New Yorker magazine, where one of his editors was David Remnick.

Hersh continued to investigate and write stories that exposed the wrongdoings of high officials, earning him the wrath of Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon, among others.

Hersh was audacious, relentless, and meticulous; he built an astonishing web of sources, military and government insiders willing to tell him what was really happening, confirm key facts, or point him in the right direction. Hersh recounts an anecdote in which William Colby, the director of Central Intelligence, complained to a colleague that Hersh knew the inner workings of the CIA better than Colby did.

The Hersh approach to reporting is ultimately simple: Read before you write, find people who know the truth, and let the facts tell the story.

In a historical moment when the president of the United States refers to the press as an enemy of the American people, investigative journalists with guts and integrity matter more than ever. Reporter is vital reading for anyone who believes that democracy cannot survive without a robust and independent press.

hicken Littles continue to squawk about the end of printed books as we know them, but, at least in the Indy offices, paperback and hardcover tomes are still majorly popular. It seems that is true for the rest of Santa Barbara, as evidenced by the plethora of Little Free Libraries dotting our county, a robust library system, several bookstores, and all the new books being published by area authors.

In this issue, find out where our Little Free Libraries are located and how to be part of that program, learn about how the Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Seymour Hersh broke his My Lai Massacre story with the help of Santa Barbara resident and literary agent David Obst, and peruse the eclectic list of favorite reads from Indy staff.

≤ FAVORITE READS FROM INDY STAFF Caitlin Fitch, Creative Director

The Dispossessed Dispossessed, by Ursula K. Le Guin. An award-winning (for good reason) science-fiction novel from the ‘70s about a socialist utopian planet of revolutionaries that orbits an Earth-like planet of consumers and the attempt by a physicist to help the two societies communicate after years of isolation from each other. It’s fantastically written and covers issues of social justice while being exciting and magical the way a good science-fiction story should be.

Men Explain Things to Me Me, by Rebecca Solnit. The inspiration for the word “mansplaining” can be found in this collection of seven essays on feminism that are accompanied by beautiful paintings by Ana Teresa Her Hernandez. Artfully written and powerfully worded, this book will inspire and ignite the way you think about feminism.

Sarah Sinclair, Director of Advertising

We Are Never Meeting in Real Life, by Samantha Irby. I recently visited Powell’s City of Books in Portland, Oregon. I had to limit my purchases to fit in my carry-on, so I broke my usual novels-only tendency to purchase this book of essays. By the end of the short flight home, I had laughed, cried, and cringed, and was completely in love with Samantha Irby. Her tonguein-cheek descriptions of situations in her life — from why she should be the next Bachelorette to why her career in customer service at a veterinarian’s office equips her for anything else in life — are endearing, searing, and cuttingly comedic. A fun, rollicking, and thought-provoking read that lodges deep in your heart.

First published in 1988, with a 25th-anniversary reissue in 2013, this is the legendary Berkeley wine importer’s colorful, opinionated, eye-opening travelogue of his early days meeting those vignerons from the Loire to Languedoc who have become the most coveted names in the finewine market.

Emily Cosentino, Marketing and Promotions Manager The Astonishing Color of After, by Emily X.R. Pan. This is a beautifully written magicalrealist young-adult novel that follows Leigh, a Taiwanese American dealing with the aftermath of her mother’s suicide alongside her absent father. Leigh travels to Taiwan to meet her estranged grandparents in hopes of connecting with her mother’s early life and homeland. Told in shades of color, this plot dives heavily into father-daughter relationships, suicide, and grief. Readers flirt with the Taiwanese language and traditions while being immersed in present-day Taiwan.

Any of the 18 books in Tony Hillerman’s mystery series about two Navajo cops. Jim Chee and his former boss Joe Leaphorn do their dance across the generations, solving murders most foul — but rarely gory — against the backdrop of Navajo and Hopi mythologies set in New Mexico. Their friendship is both tender and tense; it evolves from book to book. So too do their respective romances, and the women they love are real, not just props. Always the subplot is cultural identity; it’s never easy and always complicated. One of Hillerman’s great virtues is he’s never preachy. He writes simple, he writes plain, and he writes exquisitely when describing the landscape, which is really the star of the series. For people assaulted by the frenzied noise of news, a Hillerman book is a great place to park yourself. Soak it up; soak it in; exhale. Then turn the page. The Surgeon General is correct — they’re highly addicting.

The Quiet American, by Graham Greene. Greene was writing about Vietnam in 1955 and nailing it. It would take David Halberstam another 17 years to get the same picture when he wrote The Best and the Brightest, and about three times as many pages. Greene was one of the great self-loathing Catholics who still believed in spite of it all. The book is suffused with that spirit. Greene wore his cynicism with a raw, poetic beauty that still astonishes, in a time when America believed progress was its most important product. His is a cynicism of moral horror, not just a tired-out pose. Greene got that the world needed to be protected most from those who thought they were saving it. The writing is amazing, and the insight remains scathingly contemporary even with the considerable passage of time. His descriptions of the ravages of napalm are horrific and understated.

God Save Texas, by Lawrence Wright. Wright is best known for his nonfiction articles in the New Yorker and his book The Looming Tower, one of the most defining pieces on Al Qaeda ever written. But in God Save Texas, Wright shifts into gears you can only wonder at, telling an amazing story of his home state. The stories are great, but the writing induces whiplash. How the hell did he do that? you’ll wonder. How did he manage to even think that thought? One can only hope he suffered a great deal writing it; he makes it so irresistibly easy to read. It’s not fair.

The latest offering from everyone’s favorite intellectual culture nerd, this book is about as big of a mind fuck as you can imagine.

Theatre of the Unimpressed: In Search of Vital Drama, by Jordan Tannahill.

Exposing the current state of theater from the angles of artistry and business, professional theater artist Jordan Tannahill offers a wry, disenchanted view on the perpetuation of dull, tired, outdated theater that turns audiences away from this ancient and vital art form. The book also explores the divide between theater as art and as entertainment and attempts to isolate the process for creating powerful theatrical work.

Charles Donelan, Executive Arts Editor

Salvage the Bones, by Jesmyn Ward. This National Book Award winner is about a young girl and her extended family who hunker down on the Mississippi gulf coast as Hurricane Katrina comes at them. It’s harrowing but also weirdly beautiful. (Ward has now won the National Book Award for Fiction twice, once in 2011 for Salvage the Bones and then again in 2017 for her latest, Sing, Unburied, Sing.)

Outline, by Rachel Cusk. The narrator is a woman who has left her home in London to teach a summer writing workshop in Rome. The sly, sideways technique of this very readable narrative gets under your skin like vintage existentialism. Cusk ponders heavy, emotional subjects like divorce and dramatizes intense experiences such as an abrupt, unsolicited physical pass with a pleasing yet provocative air of detachment.

Astonish Me, by Maggie Shipstead. The book swan dives into the underbelly of the ballet world with gratifying melodrama, drawing readers into the fictional (and eerily relevant) lives of a group of professionally stellar and privately bedraggled dancers. Sashaying between New York, Paris, and California over the course of three decades, their stories collide into one satisfying climax that has all of the components of a noteworthy summer read.

The Invisible Bridge, by Julie Orringer. This is an achingly touching novel of heroic proportions (624 pages to be exact), recounting the historical events leading up to and into World War II through the lens of a young Hungarian architecture student. Through war-torn Europe, a love story endures that will elevate your spirit even as it simultaneously breaks your heart.

Suzanne Cloutier, Advertising Representative

The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future, by Kevin Kelly. This book explores the advances in technology that are likely to occur in the next few decades. After reading it, I have a new appreciation for our current gadgets and gizmos and a better understanding of what AI is and what it will do in the near future (no robot overlords just yet). The future looks either really cool or really creepy depending on one’s perspective, but it’s pretty much guaranteed that things will be moving so fast that even the most tech-savvy genius will have trouble keeping up with the bazillions of new products and technologies heading our way.

Love in the Time of Cholera, by Gabriel García Márquez. Who can resist a sprawling, epic love story?

All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr. A brilliantly realized novel, taut with suspense and hope.

Michelle Drown, Senior Editor/Arts Editor

The Golden Spruce: A True Story of Myth, Madness, and Greed, by John Vaillant. Vaillant’s page-turning tale weaves several threads into a gripping tapestry. At the center is a 300-year-old golden Sitka spruce on British Columbia’s Queen Charlotte Islands. The exceedingly rare tree, which was sacred to the native Haida population, was chopped down in the middle of the night by logger-turned-eco-protester Grant Hadwin.

Vaillant’s engrossing explorations of each branch of the multipronged story offer up detailed research with a narrative that clips along like a mystery novel. Readers come away having learned about the history — and ecologically dire consequences — of the Pacific Northwest’s logging industry, the fierce resilience of the Haida, and how Hadwin went from a successful logger to a madman who fell off the grid.

The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England, by Dan Jones. In this highly readable book, historian Dan Jones reveals the plots and jealousies, backbiting and successes of one of Great Britain’s longest-ruling families. Beginning in 1154 with Henry II, the House of Plantagenet held the throne until the death of Richard III in 1485. During its nearly three-century reign, the dynasty transformed England — for example, English became the national language, Magna Carta was created, and Wales was conquered and brought into the fold of Great Britain. With snappy storytelling, Jones lays out the exciting, mysterious, thrilling, scandalous, sometimes ridiculous stories of this founding dynasty, proving the adage that truth is stranger than fiction. n

SBBTI welcomes Brandon Cope, new faculty member

BRANDON COPE,

“The best part of my job is, I actually like it. Imagine that. Going into my office is something I look forward to, it’s a healthy and fun atmosphere. I graduated BTI back in 2012, debt free, the school works with each person’s circumstances and gives great opportunities. The skills I learned at BTI carry weight into every aspect of my life, not just work.

I made great friends and discovered new ways to create a healthy environment for our community and myself. What I gained by being apart of the BTI family will last a lifetime. Thank you!”

Environment

Santa Barbara’s

Compost Gap W

henever an environmentally minded friend visits my tiny kitchen, I get the same question: “Um, where’s your compost?” It’s a reasonable inquiry. Carrot tops, corn cobs, and watermelon rinds crowd valuable landfill space, and worse, food scraps release atmosphere-warming methane as they decompose. Composting, on the other hand, boosts soil nutrients and cuts down emissions.

But without a residential compost collection program here in Santa Barbara, or home space big enough for a bin, I have to admit, regrettably, that my kitchen waste lands in the trash.

So why doesn’t our proudly green city have compost pickup? If you’re of the mind, as county staff is, that waste should live and die locally, the problem is a dearth of industrial composting facilities, said Leslie Wells, county waste collection manager. The Santa Maria–based Engel & Grey facility processes food waste from UCSB, as well as from nearby North County farms and schools, but other operations have struggled to secure and maintain permits to serve the South Coast.

Engel & Grey used to also handle food scraps that the city collects from more than 200 restaurants, but it stopped after running into contamination issues. When mayonnaise jars and wine bottles wound up in bins, keeping stock clean became too expensive.

So the city had to switch to a different processor, Agromin, that works out of Oxnard and Chino. Rene Eyerly, city environmental services manager, said that program keeps 3,200 tons of food waste out of the landfill each year.

Resolving these processing and contamination hurdles for residential collection will have to happen soon — California has committed to composting and recycling 75 percent of its solid waste by 2020. The county has plans to build a new compost separator and digester at the Tajiguas Landfill, and the city will soon discuss a potential collection program. However, these proposals could take years to implement.

In the meantime, here are a few options for taking matters into your own hands: “Everyone has space for a worm bin,” according to county compost specialist Sam Dickinson, who composted even when he lived in a 600-squarefoot studio. Dickinson recommends making your own bin by drilling holes in a lidded plastic tub, buying worms online, and bedding them — along with your food scraps — in newspaper. The county’s “Composting ABC’s” pamphlet at lessismore.org has additional instructions. (See independent.com/ compost for the PDF.) If worms aren’t your style, the county sells Earth Machine composters for $45 at the South Coast Recycling & Transfer Station (4430 Calle Real). The bin won’t produce the same dark, powdery garden-gold that worms do, but it’s self-contained and designed to prevent rodents from taking up residence.

There are also workshops around town to help. The County of Santa Barbara schedules compost workshops on its website, countyofsb.org, and Impact Hub Funk Zone countyofsb.org (10 E. Yanonali St.) holds a free Compost & Recycling Program on the first Wednesday of every month.

Why Are Food Scraps All Dressed Up with Nowhere to Go?

Ragin’ on the River A Two-Day Summertime Trip Along the Mighty Kern

“

ll forward!” yelled our guide, Blair, from the back of the boat.

And like soldiers marching toward the enemy, my brother Jose and I, in unison with the three recent high school grads we had just met, rowed into our first Class IV, or advanced-difficulty, rapid. “Right back!” Blair yelled again as he steered us away from a giant boulder.

Drenched and struggling to see, I back-paddled as the left side of our crew steamed ahead and the boat just made its way around the rock. It felt like summer.

White Maidens was the first big rapid we conquered after warming up earlier on in the day with Kern River Outfitters, whose guides strapped us tight with life jackets and bright-blue helmets as they delivered a safety talk. Still, the rapids get your blood pumping.

We had just met the high school grad boys on our boat, but already we were a team. The key to moving forward, or at all, on the river is rowing together. So yeah, we got to know one another pretty well. When we weren’t paddling through rough whitewater, we were lazily floating downstream or jumping off rocks to cool down. We even swam through some Class II rapids. “Breathe after you crash through the waves,” suggested Blair. As the current threw me from wave to wave, I kept thinking, “Breathe!” Much easier said than done.

We finished off the first day with the Sundown Falls and Powerful Possum rapids — all great names with fun backstories that Blair would tell us about as the roar of the rapids got louder. After Powerful Possum, we made our way to camp, where Blair and the other guides — Mitch, Charles, and Leslie — made the greatest INDEPENDENT.COM

Many of the folks with Kern River Outfitters — headquartered in Wofford Heights near Isabella Lake, an hour’s drive northeast of Bakersfield— Bakersfield are recent UCSB grads and lovers of all things adventure. Blair put it best: “We’re weird, wet, and

wacky.” The guides clearly love what they’re doing, and their high energy and fun spirits are incredibly contagious out on the water.

Most important, they are knowledgeable and dedicated to safety. It’s no secret the Kern is a dangerous river, but while I was paddling for my life, not once did my life feel like it was in actual jeopardy.

We finished off the night around a campfire with three guitars and many stories before hunkering down on thick foam pads to sleep under a starry sky. On the second day of our trip, we paddled through six more big rapids, including one called Preparation H. The day was filled with laughter, trust games, and, of course, lots of paddling. After we navigated through the last bit of whitewater, I floated alongside the boat, sunburned, and riding my adrenaline high. It felt like summer.

Rodents can be unearthed by the disruption that construction, demolition and excavation have on their burrows. In anticipation of the Children’s Memorial Hospital demolition next month in Chicago, some Lincoln Park residents are asking for help from Treehouse Humane Society’s Cats at Work program, which uses feral cat colonies to kill or ward off rats, but if need be, the city will put rodenticide into burrows to eradicate the pests.

O

nce not much more than a dusty, one-street remnant of the stagecoach and railroad days, Los Alamos is today an epicenter of the Central Coast’s foodie culture. It’s still just one main street, but that no-longer-dusty drag is jam-packed with the region’s hottest tables, cultiest wines, and trendiest inns. On Saturday, August 25, visitors get a chance to try the bulk of them when the Eat, Play, Love Los Alamos event showcases the town while raising money to support the Friends of the Los Alamos Public Library.

“Libraries are a barometer of the community,” said Stephan Bedford, who’s been betting on Los Alamos long before it was cool, living on nearby Alisos Canyon Road since 1987 and running his Bedford Winery tasting room on Bell Street since 2003. “Small rural libraries — really all libraries — need to be innovative. For farm and ranch country, where connecting to the internet is a challenge, the library offers excellent connectivity.”

He’s also been a longtime supporter of the Los Alamos library—most of his special events act as fundraisers as well — because it offers tutoring and a summer reading program.

“Storytime is the gateway to literacy,” he said.“With our current climate, we all need to be more literate of our environment, politics, and our incredibly diverse culture.”

Attendees will receive a punch card that will be stamped by every participating business frequented. Those who complete their punch cards will be entered into a drawing, with the grand prize of a one-week stay in South Lake Tahoe. Bedford is especially excited for people to try the new restaurant Bell’s (“lovely wine list”), the new Lo-Fi tasting room (“dynamite wines”), and the always excellent food from Plenty on Bell by Jesper Johansson (“phenomenal chef”).

Though the little town’s food, drink, and lodging options seem to expand weekly, Bedford believes that the initial charms are retained.“Los Alamos has grown very organically,” he said.

“Except sometimes for parking on a Saturday, it’s still very relaxed.”

the Rona Barrett Foundation Opening New Doors For Seniors The Rona Barrett Foundation provides affordable housing and wellness services & programs for low-income seniors. Its premier project, the Golden Inn & Village, an affordable housing campus in the Santa Ynez Valley, is home to more than 60 seniors.

Golden Inn & Village Job loss and housing rent increase at the same time led David Marchesi to live in his car for nearly 3 years.

Just as his health began to suffer, he discovered refuge at the Golden Inn & Village, where he not only found a home, but rehabilitative services too.

“I’m grateful to The Rona Barrett Foundation for improving my quality of life.” –

Giving Seniors a New Future “Despite my Hollywood career, being an advocate for vulnerable seniors is the most important work I’ve ever done.”

-Rona Barrett

The Rona Barrett Foundation began in 2000, contributing to existing senior programs.

But, there was a greater need: affordable housing and services for low-income seniors.

That’s when Rona’s vision of the Golden Inn & Village was born. Nearly 13 years in the making, the facility welcomed its first senior residents in December 2016.

Services & Programs That Enrich Lives Thanks to generous donations & community partners, The Rona Barrett Foundation provides many services & programs at no cost to residents.

• • MEAL/NUTRITION • PROGRAM • • FITNESS CENTER • MEDICAL SCREENINGS • • • GARDENING • GAME & MOVIE NIGHTS • • MUSICAL EVENTS

ART CLASSES FIELD TRIPS COMPUTER LABS HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNSELING …& MUCH MORE!

Meet the Residents “We’ve been married for 67 years & it’s so special for us to call the Golden Inn & Village home; there’s always something for us to do!”

–-Toni Delgado, with husband Oscar Delgado

“After my husband passed away 6 years ago, I was fIguring out what to do next. I’m so glad that this is my new home, a place where I’ve met friends who are more like family.”

– -Carmela Munoz

Harry’s House The Rona Barrett Foundation is busy developing Phase 2 of the Golden Inn & Village – Harry’s House, a planned home for assisted living, memory care and senior affordable housing.

Named after Rona’s father, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, the addition will be located next to the current building.

Partnering with our existing collaborator, The Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara and our new development alliance, ECS (Episcopalian Communities & Services), Harry’s House will address a growing need for senior care.

“Thank you to our donors, partners, community leaders and volunteers who’ve been so supportive of our journey.”

CHATTING WITH

SIXTO RODRIGUEZ SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN ARTIST TALKS MUSIC, POLITICS, AND LIFE IN DETROIT

Did you come from a musical family? I’m Mexican, and we do a lot of singing, and it was my brother’s guitar that I’d practice on, and he would say, “Who’s that playing my guitar?” [Laughs.] I played at 16, and I’ve done music since then. I play by ear —

”Cause” and “Crucify Your Mind” completely floored me on first listen, both because of your lyrics and your vocal delivery. Tell me about those songs’ origins. “Cause” I wrote real fast, because we were [recording the album Coming from Reality in 1970] in London, England, and I had to write something because other songs got deleted. I had fun with it. … Was “Crucify Your Mind” dedicated to anybody? No, it was a generalization. “A Most Disgusting Song” is like that, too.

L I F E PAGE 49

COURTESY

T

he legendary artist Sixto Rodriguez (whose life story was chronicled in the compelling, Oscar-winning 2012 documentary Searching for Sugar Man) will be returning to Santa Barbara for a performance Tuesday, August 21, at The Granada Theatre.

Rodriguez’s intriguing musical trajectory began with the musician being virtually unknown in the States for more than 40 years — after his two early ’70s avant-garde albums Cold Fact and Coming from Reality failed to chart. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, his records had found their way to South Africa, where his songs helped inspire anti-apartheid activists and he was considered a superstar.

Since the documentary’s release, Rodriguez has belatedly been hailed globally as a major talent and played in more than 17 countries and at both the Glastonbury and Coachella festivals. Describing himself as “musicalpolitical,” Rodriguez pens lyrics that often address the injustices faced by the inner-city poor, and, as an activist, he has run for public office several times in Detroit. Rodriguez was awarded a doctor of humane letters in 2013 from his alma mater, Wayne State University, in addition to the bachelor’s in philosophy he earned there in 1981.

I recently spoke over the phone with Rodriguez, who was in good spirits, chilling in his Detroit home with band members and a few friends, including the counterculture icon John Sinclair.

I’ve read that you might work with record producer Steve Rowland again. We’re gonna see [Rowland] in Palm Springs [during the tour] just before we come back to Detroit. We’re gonna go in the studio, and I have other talents coming with me.

Sixto Rodriguez

I’m self-taught. And so everything I do is through that technique.

Did you draw inspiration from fellow musicians back in the ’60s? “Rocky Raccoon” by [John] Lennon [and Paul McCartney] is a favorite of mine to listen to because [they’re] capturing all these individual things in the songs very cleverly.

How did you develop your distinctive style of playing guitar? You just play. Keith Richards said,“The more you play, the better you get!”

You just trip out into it. At the shows, they’re out to have a good time, and I am, too. So that’s half the battle.

Were you inspired to stand up to inequality by Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Cesar Chavez, or Bobby Kennedy during the ’60s? Oh, yeah! … Detroit [was founded in] 1701 — I think we could be further along on the path than this. Wayne County Police evicted a lady with three kids in winter, and it creates homeless that way. That’s not civilization. [Jean-Jacques] Rousseau says we have a social contract … and so many people pay into Social Security and never receive any money.

CYNTHIA JAMES’S

PAINTINGS AT THE BOTANIC GARDEN The patio outside the gallery space at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden’s new Pritzlaff Conservation Center boasts a view of the Channel Islands that’s nearly as incredible as the magical realist paintings by Cynthia James now on view inside. Taking full advantage of the abundant natural light of the space, the paintings in The Secret Life of Flowers glow from within, thanks to a technique that involves applying oil paint directly to lightly sanded copper plates.

In a composition such as “Heave,” this means that the orange pistil of the large blue flower brightens toward its center, pulling the eye into the same vortex that attracts James’s fanciful parade of bees.

Like the great American original Georgia O’Keeffe, James takes pleasure in re-creating dazzling patterns from botanical nature as whorls of color on a flat surface. Through the introduction of fan-

tasy elements, such as imagined versions of extinct flowers or synchronized swarms of “One Queen Down” by Cynthia James bees and birds, James introduces a new note to the tradition, one that reminds us all of the awesome responsibility we now bear for the stewardship of a natural inheritance too long taken for granted.

Cynthia James’s The Secret Life of Flowers is on view at the Pritzlaff Conservation Center Gallery of the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden (1212 Mission Canyon Rd.) through November 26. For information, see sbbg.org.

PHOENIX RISING AT SULLIVAN GOSS

Ask any witness about the devastation wrought by the Montecito mudslides, and there’s a strong likelihood that you’ll hear a description of the mud itself: the “big stewing soup of it,” as T.C. Boyle memorably put in his short story “I Walk Between the Raindrops” in the July 30 issue of the New Yorker. In Phoenix Rising, the new exhibit at Sullivan Goss, An American Gallery (11 E. Anapamu St.), ceramic artists James and Linda Haggerty are asking us all to take another look at the mud and ash distributed by January’s debris flow, but not because they want to take us back to the scene of the disaster; instead, they want to imagine a way forward. In the months since then, they’ve taken mud and ash from the various sites and alchemized what they’ve gathered into exquisite and brilliantly colored works of art. It’s as though they meant to make a declaration: There’s nothing we can’t fix with a kiln, some glaze, and our imagination.

From James Haggerty, the material called forth a new way of working, one in which the thrown pot is attached to an armature while still wet and flipped upside down, allowing the artist to create a vigorously flowing shape that bears the mark of his hands working with, rather than against, gravity.

“Caeruleum Mare Legumen” shows this technique in full effect, the shiny interior glaze in sparkling contrast to the lighter green of the outside. All of the Haggerty’s pieces display a sophistication with color and texture that rivals that of California Clay Movement legend Ken Price.

Linda Haggerty’s poetic bowls and reliefs merge geometric forms with natural patterns derived from botanical and other organic shapes. The copper-hued tile called “Paradigm Shift” is a small marvel of postdisaster reflection and solace, exemplary of the way that through art we can continue to build a future even after unexpected changes arrive to knock us down.

AS FAR AS I KNOW: Laura Dern, playing writer/director Jennifer Fox, works to recapture chilling truths and self-deceptions from a youthful moment of sexual confusion and awakening.

THE TALE

UNTANGLES BLURRED, BURIED MEMORIES Story Lingers in Mind Thanks to Deep Dive by Director

S

ettling on the deceptively generic title The Tale for Jennifer Fox’s fascinating HBO film is just one of the project’s sly and innovative touches. Not only does it link to subtexts, the word itself suggests at least a reverberation of fiction making — i.e., the stuff of tales, tall, scary and otherwise. Yet reality reinterpreted is the central operating mode in this chilling, truth-fueled saga. Significantly, the first words we hear are in the filmmaker/lead character’s voice: “The story you’re about to see is true … as far as I know.”

The tale the protagonist — also named Jennifer Fox (Laura Dern, in a stunning, controlled, Emmy-worthy turn) — is talking about concerns the writer/director’s own experience as a 13-year-old, seduced and abused by an older man in a position of power and influence. Of secondary but critical importance is the slow unraveling of that experience within an adult’s tangled web of memories and self-deceptions surrounding what she had retroactively regarded as a “romance.” Fox the protagonist’s awakening to the truth of things begins when her mother (Ellen Burstyn) is shocked upon discovering the details of the “relationship” in one of her daughter’s adolescent essays. The Tale syncs up with the #MeToo moment in society and culture while also plumbing other psychological depths.

In the film, Fox gives her abuser a pseudonym and so protects the guilty party; she also changes him from an eminent writer who is still alive to a running coach (Jason Ritter and later, John Heard), whose deviance is abetted by the charismatic “Mrs. G” (Frances Conroy). But Fox faces the truth in other ways, including giving her central character

her name and career, a mid-life documentary filmmaker, like the writer/director behind this film.

Further blurring the film’s mix of what happened when, and to and by whom, is writer/director Fox’s crafty approach to structure and character in her film. “Blur” is an operative word, as in the hazy pathways and reconstructions of which memories are made. We see the adult Fox’s first memories of the events of her 13-year-old self, who originally appears in the film as more mature than she was, before her mother corrects her and a younger, barely pubescent actor takes the place of the initial, older-looking Jennifer.

Late-blooming realizations cloud the family relationship as the mother faces her unwary complicity in allowing the 40-yearold man’s seduction of her daughter while she was steering Jennifer away from a more age-appropriate relationship with a peer.

Time warping continues in the form of the adult and adolescent Jennifers quarreling across the chasm of history, and the twisted sexuality theme that recaptures truths from a tender, youthful moment of sexual confusion and awakening.

The film does offer the small satisfaction of a cathartic comeuppance encounter, tying back into the machinations of exposure thankfully fueling the contemporary trend of “outing” sexual misdeeds and society’s appropriate shunning of the perpetrators.

But The Tale lingers in the mind longer than its sex-themed, headline-tapping relevance partly thanks to the deep dive made by Fox, a journey involving a series of rabbit holes and long-buried perils. Blurs abound.

(93 mins., NR)

A star is bored. Then again, an air of ennui — or seductive, poetic Germanic detachment — was always part of the charm of the singer known as Nico. That disengagement is etched in her classic version of Jackson Browne’s “These Days,” which runs over the opening credits of the film Nico, 1988, like an anthem. Italian director Susanna Nicchiarelli’s entrancing film follows the sad, unraveling final chapter in the career-life of Nico (powerfully portrayed by Danish actress Trine Dyrholm). Taking place 20 years after her 1960s heyday, when she was “Lou Reed’s femme fatale” in the Velvet Underground (a role she detested), a Warholian hob-nobber, a model, and an actress (Fellini’s La Dolce Vita), Nico is now a sometimes-suicidal junkie. The past haunts her — from the demise of her childhood home, Berlin, to the life of her son, Ari, who grew up mostly apart from her rock-’n’-roll lifestyle, to the

NOW SHOWING ➤ O BlacKkKlansman

(135 mins., R)

Observe moviegoers trying to order their tickets for BlacKkKlansman (“Um, two for the Lee movie”), and you’ll get a sense of how well Spike Lee’s new film touches the raw nerves of current American race politics. A collaboration with Jordan Peele (Get Out), starring John David Washington and Adam Driver, BlacKkKlansman is based on the true story of the first African-American police officer in Colorado Springs, who manages to infiltrate the KKK and stop a terror campaign.

Released one year after the 2017 Charlottesville riots, it’s hard to imagine a more timely film or a more disquieting portrayal of the violence of racist language and images.

Washington’s deadpan-until-explosive performance is brilliant, and his presence ties the film to Lee’s Malcolm X, which stars his father, Denzel. Topher Grace captures the disturbing boyishness of David Duke as naturally as if he were reviving Eric from That ’70s Show rather than portraying the KKK’s Grand Wizard. Supporting and cameo roles by Laura Harrier, Michael Buscemi, Harry Belafonte, and Alec Baldwin cement the stellar cast. BlacKkKlansman offers a welcome reboot of Lee’s aesthetic, and a powerful call to reflect and take action, through pivotal, inevitable, irrevocable depictions of hate. (KCM) Camino Real/ Paseo Nuevo

O Christopher Robin

(104 mins., PG)

A.A. Milne’s immortal Winnie-thePooh stories end with a farewell party for Christopher Robin — a metaphor for growing up — but director Marc Forster’s cinematic offering reimagines Christopher (Ewan McGregor) as an adult who prioritizes work over everything else in his life, including his daughter, Madelyn (Bronte Carmichael). Pooh appears to Christopher after he cancels a family trip to his childhood cottage because he has an emergency meeting at work. Pooh’s friends are missing, and he needs Christo-

pher to save the day, just like he did when he was younger. Christopher agrees to help only because he wants Pooh to stop pestering him, and the adventure begins.

Christopher Robin is a nostalgic and surprisingly poignant film that reminds adults to cherish childhood memories and the time they spend with loved ones.

(118 mins., PG)

Finally, 14 years after Pixar unleashed The Incredibles, the paragon animation studio has released the long-awaited sequel, Incredibles 2. The high expectations for the follow-up to such an iconic film — especially after more than a decade — can be both its bane and its attraction. Fortunately, Incredibles 2 doesn’t disappoint. It is a fantastic film whose breadth of story and concepts match perfectly with its characters and imagination. Taking up where the original story left off, Incredibles 2 answers the original film’s dangling questions, continues plot themes, and interweaves the Parr family’s (aka the Incredibles) challenges and humanity seamlessly into the story. This iteration dives deeper into the larger implications and politics of reintroducing “Supers” into society and is exactly the sequel that this series deserves. Incredibles 2 is a must-see Pixar classic — but definitely watch the original first. (NS) Fiesta 5 Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (114 mins., PG-13)

Taking place five years after the original film, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again brings us back to the island of Kalokairi for round two of the ABBA-inspired musical. Directed by Ol Parker (Now Is Good), the film gathers most of the original cast for its continuation story, plus Lily James (Baby Driver) as young Donna and Cher in a small role. The sequel tells its story through a combination of present-day characters and their past, younger counterparts, showing young Donna’s journey on Kalokairi before the birth of her daughter, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) and, in the present, Sophie’s attempt to rebuild her mother’s hotel on the island. At times characters and events filter in and out of the story for the novelty of relating to the music. While this adds some aha! moments, it often feels jolting and distracts a little bit from the

O Three Identical Strangers (96 mins., PG-13)

On his first day of college, Robert Safran was mistaken for Eddie Galland. That same night, Robert drove all the way to Eddie’s house to discover that they were, in fact, twins. They connected immediately, and when a newspaper ran their story, a third stranger, David Kellman, came “out of the woodwork” as the third triplet. And they were delighted and inseparable — at first. The documentary portrays the adult lives of the three men who discover by chance that they are identical triplets who were separated at birth. In the 1980s, the brothers’ heartwarming reunion became an instant and well-chronicled media sensation, which turned disturbing when they realized they were part of a group of identical siblings separated by an adoption agency as part of a psychological study that remains unpublished to this day. Using archival footage, dramatic reenactments, and investigative interviews and research, the documentary poses the “nature versus nurture” question and explores the enduring consequences of institutional overreach through the adult lives of the reunited triplets. Like Diane Arbus’s unsettling photographs of identical siblings, this film refracts the inherit uncanniness of the triplets and their story and complicates our notion of the conditions that make us who we are.

JOHN ZANT’S GAME OF THE WEEK

8/18: College Men’s Soccer: Westmont at UCSB This

annual exhibition game kicks off a big year at the UCSB stadium, which will be the site of the NCAA College Cup in December. The Gauchos aim to get off to a strong start in the next month to build momentum for a postseason bid. Westmont is coming off one of its best seasons, which began when the Warriors upset UCSB in this game, 2-1, their first win over the Gauchos since 2000. Game starts at 7 p.m. at Harder Stadium, UCSB. $8-$10.

Call 893-UCSB (8272) or see ucsbgauchos.com.

“His work ethic in high school was all the time,” said Chris Joyce, a Dos Pueblos teammate of McCann’s and the pitch-

ing coach of the Foresters. “He always carried himself like a Major Leaguer.”

It’s been a difficult season for McCann and the Tigers. They were just 3½ games out of first place in the American League Central division on May 28 when McCann hit a grand slam off Angels ace Tyler Skaggs in a 9-3 win at Detroit. Then things started going south, and this week the Tigers were 17 games behind and playing out the season.

Despite an offensive slump (his .222 batting average was 20 points off his career numbers), McCann was playing hard last week. On Tuesday night, he chugged from first to home — at 6ʹ2″ and 225 pounds, he is no sprinter — to score a run on a hit down the left-field line by JaCoby Jones, earning “attaboys” in the dugout. Later in the game, McCann hit a sinking liner into the center-right field gap, only to see the Angels’ Eric Young Jr. make a diving catch and double the runner off first. “I thought for sure a base hit, possibly an RBI,” McCann said.“He came out of nowhere to make that play. At this level, you’re facing good pitchers and defensive players who can run down the ball.”

In the sixth inning, McCann showed why he is considered one of the best defensive catchers in baseball. José Briceño of the Angels tried to steal second base on a strike-three pitch to Young Jr., and McCann gunned him down at the bag. It was his 84th caught-stealing throw, the third most in the majors since 2015. “I take a lot of pride in that,” McCann said.

At 28, McCann is entering the prime of his career with plenty to play for, not the least being twin sons, Christian and Kane, who were born last December. He and his wife, Jessica, make their off-season home in Nashville, Tennessee.

What keeps him going in the heat of the summer? “The love, the passion for the game,” McCann said.“You hear about the dog days of August. It’s a grind, no doubt about it, playing every day. This juncture of the season, nobody feels 100 percent; you’re battling aches and pains, but that passion and love is greater than everything else.”

TIGER PLUGGER: The dog days could not have been more

brutal for the Detroit Tigers than last Wednesday afternoon, when they finished a winless road trip with a 6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.

Amtrak took me to Anaheim for the game. As I walked from the train station across the Angel Stadium parking lot, smoke was billowing to the east from the Holy Fire. It would be diffused into a dirty brown haze during the game.

Mike Trout was sidelined by his wrist injury and Shohei Ohtani took the day off, but still the Angels had enough firepower to tame the Tigers. They got a leadoff home run from Kole Calhoun and in the fifth inning, back-to-back homers by Justin Upton and Albert Pujols.

James McCann saw those balls leave the park from his catcher’s mask behind home plate. In his fifth year as a backstop for the Tigers, the Goleta native knows the ups and downs of the game. McCann was an outstanding catcher at Dos Pueblos High and Arkansas. He was a second-round pick in the 2011 Major League draft by Detroit, and he made his debut with the Tigers in September 2014.

PAUL WELLMAN PHOTOS

he “dog days of summer”— a hot, sweaty stretch from early July to mid-August — are considered grueling in Major League Baseball. The hopes of spring have dissolved into losing streaks for many teams, and the pennant races are dragging along before September showdowns.

But these are the joyful “dog-pile days” for the Santa Barbara Foresters. For the seventh time since 2006, this team of fresh college boys flung themselves into a heap on the diamond at Wichita’s Lawrence-Dumont Stadium after winning the championship of the National Baseball Congress (NBC) World Series.

“It’s historic,” said manager Bill Pintard after the Foresters pushed across a run in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the NJCAA National Team, 6-5, in the title game last Saturday.

Making their 26th consecutive appearance in Wichita — a tournament record — the Foresters have won more titles than any other team in the 84 years that the NBC has hosted teams from across the country since 1935.

“Look at their history,” Pintard said.“They integrated baseball 12 years before the major leagues.” Legendary pitcher Satchel Paige was the headliner in the first NBC World Series, leading his touring team from Bismarck, North Dakota, to the championship.

The winning teams generally came from the Midwest.

The first California champion was the Carmichael Firemen in 1946. The next was the Santa Maria Indians in 1979. The Foresters went winless in their first appearance in 1993. For the next decade, they knocked on the door until their breakthrough in 2006. With one exception, even years have been championship years for Santa Barbara: 2008, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018.

The Foresters have surely won with talent, but even more so with infectious, fun-loving, positive attitudes. They have pulled through many times in desperate situations. Three outs away from elimination in the quarterfinals last Thursday, they scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the San Diego Stars, 7-6.

They were ready to celebrate Saturday when they took a 5-2 lead into the ninth inning. But a flurry of ball-four calls enabled the junior college all-stars to tie the score. “We know how cruel this game can be,” Pintard said. But the Foresters did not suffer for long, as they parlayed Logan Allen’s single, two-hit batters and Patrick Mathis’s bases-loaded walk into a dog pile.

Mathis, one of five players Pintard recruited to replace injured Foresters, was named the series’ Most Valuable Player.

Allen, who had Santa Barbara’s first and last hits of the tournament, was voted 2018 Foresters MVP by the team. Brett Standlee received the Eric Pintard Trophy as the top pitcher.

Ryan Cash, who had the game-winning RBI in the quarterfinals, and Utah Jones were given coaches’ awards.

No team will ever equal Santa Barbara’s seven trophy ceremonies in the 84-year home of the NBC World Series.

Utah Jones and Brett Standlee

Jones (pictured left and named after Johnny Utah, the surfer hero of the movie Point Break) hit .350 with a team-leading nine RBIs in the NBC World Series. The Greenville, N.C., infielder played error-free ball at shortstop.

Standlee, a right-hander from Oklahoma State, pitched 4 ²/3 innings of shutout ball in the championship game, striking out three batters on nine pitches in one “immaculate inning.”

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58 (b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE‑154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250.

2) An Answer to the Application must be filed and served within six days of the service of the Application pursuant to Appeals Board rules; therefore, your written response must be filed with the Appeals Board promptly; a letter or phone call will not protect your interests.

3) You will be served with a Notice(s) of Hearing and must appear at all hearings or conferences.

After such hearing, even absent your appearance, a decision may be made and an award of compensation benefits may issue against you.

The award could result in the garnishment of your wages, taking of your money or property or other relief.

If the Appeals Board makes an award against you, your house or other dwelling or other property may be taken to satisfy that award in a non‑judicial state, with no exemptions from execution.

A lien may also be imposed upon your property without further hearing and before the issuance of an award.

4) You must notify the Appeals Board of the proper address for the service of official notices and papers and notify the Appeals Board of any changes in that address.
