Title: Arts Intern What pulls you to the arts? Art can be very emotive. I am quite obsessive, so I like pouring my energies into art. I remember making plans to draw in the evenings around the age of 4. I begged my parents to send me to art classes, but they couldn’t for financial reasons. I stopped drawing. But one day in college, I attended an open studio which showcased students’ work. A light bulb went off in my head, and I enrolled in Beginning Drawing shortly after. What are you most excited to cover? I know that Yo-Yo Ma comes to Santa Barbara annually to perform. His renditions of classical music are beautiful, and he embodies the idea of the “universal artist.” The prospect of a review or

interview sounds exciting. I am always ready to cover music performances. What do you do outside of work? I enjoy sailing, riding my bike, and trying new cuisine. I also have a passion for tailoring and bespoke shoemaking.

Paula Perotte for Goleta Mayor

For the first time ever, Goleta voters get to directly elect their mayor. Up ’til now, the council as first-among-equals has appointed the position to what’s been a largely ceremonial job. We are persuaded that Paula Perotte has the requisite grit, determination, and quiet strength needed for the post. Of the two candidates running, Perotte — a 35-year resident of the Goleta Valley — has a far better feel for how much development the community can abide. Old-fashioned wars over growth, always a Goleta hot-button issue, have flared up recently with the rapid retail and residential development that’s transformed the city. Perotte has served on the council since 2010 and was instrumental in implementing the Safe Routes to School with the Sheriff ’s Office. Before that, she worked for years with the Community Action Commission connecting those in need with available services. She’s had a full life experience, having worked nights as a waitress at Joe’s, started a homemade pie business, and raised a family. Given her temperament, values, and résumé, we trust Perotte will do the best job balancing the competing agendas — neighborhood preservation versus development — confronting Goleta and all California coastal communities. Her opponent Michael Bennett, a retired fire battalion chief, has been a long-dedicated activist in Goleta politics and as a councilmember. But Bennett, backed by the Chamber of Commerce, has been more pedal-to-the-metal on Goleta growth than is sensible. In fact, he helped craft the argument against a 2012 ballot initiative — Measure G — designed to protect agricultural land from development. Measure G gave voters final say on whether any ag lands greater than 10 acres should be developed. We supported Measure G at the time and with every major fire, we are freshly reminded how Goleta’s Green Belt of farmland protects the city.

Mark Alvarado and Kate Ford

Santa Barbara Unified School Board of Trustees

Mark Alvarado and Kate Ford will be important additions to the Santa Barbara school board. They have the background and determination to ask tough questions and demand answers. Our public schools are suffering from the current board’s reluctance to challenge Superintendent Cary Matsuoka and his staff. This has to change, and Alvarado and Ford have the skills to do it. Kate Ford is a five-star professional who grew up in Santa Barbara and graduated from our public schools. Her 40-year career in education spans from classroom teacher to administrator. For five years, she was principal of Peabody Charter School. She then worked for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and most recently ran an 11-school district in Los Angeles until her retirement last year. She has the know-how and personality to help invigorate the board. As does Mark Alvarado, who also grew up in Santa Barbara, attended local public schools, and spent his professional career in government programs and nonprofits working in underserved neighborhoods. As former head of the PTSA at Santa Barbara Junior High School and as a father who has attended countless school board meetings, Alvarado knows firsthand just how serious the achievement gap is between students whose families have and those who don’t — Alvarado describes it as “the grand canyon.” And he is not exaggerating. It is the school board’s job to push administrators to improve school performance and to offer the community strong leadership, not to rubberstamp whatever the superintendent and staff put before them. Just look at this year’s protracted mess at San Marcos High School. Of course, when students and principals face disciplinary action, strict confidentiality rules must apply. But the failure of the board to communicate — even imperfectly — with all school families has left them to draw their own conclusions. Alarmingly, those conclusions often fall along inflamed fault lines of race and class. The board must do a better job, and we believe Ford and Alvarado will help achieve that. They, along with incumbent Laura Capps, will move the board into a more proactive role. The next time a school budget is presented, there will be hard questioning in public session about how the money is spent. Budgets won’t be passed without inquiring why music programs are underfunded and why teachers are forced to subsidize their own jobs — which is what happened this year. Protect our schools. Vote for Mark Alvarado and Kate Ford.

Vote Yes on Proposition 7 Changes Daylight Saving Time

There is something wonderfully pure about Prop. 7, which, if passed, would ask the California legislature to recalibrate the relationship of the state’s 38 million residents to the clock and to the sun. There are no well-heeled special interests lining up for or against Prop. 7, and not a dime was spent on glossy mailers that will end up in the trash or commercials that serve only to vex and annoy. Prop. 7 was introduced at the instigation of State Assemblymember Kansen Chu, in response to a constituent who persuaded him that there are unforeseen health consequences to setting one’s clock ahead by one hour every fall and then back again in the spring. Increased heart attacks, strokes, and accidents reportedly ensue shortly after such transitions. We object on more existential grounds; we are not hothouse chickens and our biorhythms should not be artificially manipulated as if we were. We are not arguing that humans should not get in planes because we were not born with

wings. But we have grown perilously disconnected from our planetary cycles; the evidence is everywhere. Hawai‘i and Arizona have already seceded from the tyranny of manipulated time. Many countries are considering similar abolitions. If passed, Prop. 7 would require the state legislature to examine the issue. If two-thirds agreed, they could make either standard time or daylight saving time year-round events. Assuming that were to happen, it would then fall to the federal government to ratify whatever they did. Prop. 7 doesn’t end the discussion; it starts it.

Yes on Proposition 12

New Standards for Farm Animal Confinement

Just because we kill animals before we eat them does not mean we need to torture them as well. Prop. 12 would require that mass-produced farm animals be afforded more space before their slaughter. For those of us who eat meat, it’s the very least we can do. It’s not just the humane thing to do; it’s healthier too. If passed, Prop. 12 would require that egg-laying hens be allowed to roam cage-free by the year 2022. Before that, poultry producers would be required to give them up to one and a half square feet to lie down, turn around, scratch themselves, give themselves dust baths, and lay their eggs. If Prop. 12 does not pass, the state poultry industry will remain guided by an initiative passed in 2008, which outlined more modest concessions to the living conditions of egg-producing birds and only in the vaguest of terms. Prop. 12 attempts to require similarly enhanced protections for pregnant pigs—taking them out of their boxed-in confines and ensuring they have at least 24 square feet. Likewise again with the calves raised for slaughter as veal, which would get 43 square feet of space. In addition, Prop. 12 will ban the sale of any out-of-state eggs, pork, or veal not harvested according to these thresholds. The poultry industry estimates these improvements will cost consumers an extra penny per egg. Given the obvious health benefits of not eating eggs produced under conditions that few of us can bear to look at, that’s a bargain. As far as pork production, economic indicators show that there are actual cost savings associated with more humane cultivation practices. It’s worth noting that the campaign against Prop. 12 has been waged by Californians Against Cruelty, Cages, and Fraud, who argue Prop. 12 doesn’t go far enough and constitutes a sellout to the pork and poultry industry. It’s an ingeniously cynical argument; bankrolling this campaign are the pork and poultry trade groups themselves. Buttressing this charade is the opposition to Prop. 12 by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). PETA, it should be acknowledged, takes an avowedly vegan stance, insisting that no egg cultivation be allowed in California. Don’t be confused by the double talk. Vote yes on Prop. 12.

In Montecito Wastewater is Wasted Water It Is Time to Recycle and Protect Our Ocean. Did you know we’re discharging 500,000 gallons per day of waste water, treated to minimum state standards, off Butterfly Beach? What if we recycled it instead? Recycled wastewater provides not only a reliable, secure supply of water for landscape irrigation, but also further protects our precious ocean through reduced and cleaner discharge. The Montecito Sanitary District Board should have started recycling our water years ago. It’s time for a change.

means you’re putting them in danger. We already have to fight with doctors, schools, [and] insurance companies to make our existence known,” Meilen added. “This is only going to make it harder.” Many also disputed that only 1.4 million Americans are transgender, a 2016 statistic from the Williams Institute at UCLA appearing in many news stories about the memo. “We are much bigger than that,” said Syd Abad, another protester at the rally, “and we outnumber the politicians —Blanca Garcia trying to erase us.”

This year’s Santa Barbara Dream Home Raffle, a critical annual fundraiser for the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara (MCASB), has been delayed due to the ongoing criminal investigation of one of the event’s vendors, museum representatives said this week. Spokesperson Marjorie Large said the vendor had supplied the software used to conduct the raffle, but she declined to disclose the vendor’s name, the nature of the investigation, or the investigating agency, explaining only that the fundraiser is on hold “for several months” until the museum can independently build its own software program. The Dream Home Raffle awards cash and prizes to participants, including a Santa Barbara–area house (or $3 million in cash) to the top winner. Since it began in 2006, the event has raised more than $6 million. The body of Alessandro Esquivel, 20, was discovered on an Isla Vista beach east of Camino del Sur by a passerby on the morning of 10/20. The circumstances surrounding the death are under investigation; there were no obvious signs of foul play, and there were indications that the death occurred recently, said Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Kelly Hoover. Originally from Downey, Esquivel was living in Isla Vista and had attended UCSB but n was not currently enrolled.

have changed the way enforcement actions take place. Because ICE’s access to inmates has decreased, the agency is going into the community to conduct enforcement actions, Brown said. In 2017, ICE picked up 73.2 percent of its requested inmates. In 2018, the number has dropped to 20.5 percent, Brown said. The increased presence in communities has led to collateral arrests during enforcement actions, Reyes said. Mendoza disagreed with Brown and emphasized that community enforcement actions are “not something new.” What has changed, said Mendoza, is the priority of enforcement. “Before, people who had certain criminal convictions were priorities for enforcement,” she said. “Now anyone can be detained.” Most people who are being detained are held administratively and not for crimes for which they’re serving time, Mendoza added, and 68 percent of those people are unrepresented by counsel. Countywide, roughly 43,000 community members, 9 percent of the population, are undocumented, she said. —Blanca Garcia

urrounded by her care team, Sujatha, an Asian elephant and one of the Santa Barbara Zoo’s most beloved family members, was humanely euthanized on the evening of October 16. Three years ago, Sujatha’s health started to decline due to arthritis. Although the pain was manageable with treatment, she took a dramatic turn within the past few months. Sujatha was observed unable to hold herself up, sleeping less, losing interest in regular activities, and refusing food. With her companion, Little Mac, Sujatha joined the Santa Barbara Zoo in 1972. When the two elephants arrived from India, they were only a year and a half old and stood less than four feet tall. Directly following Sujatha’s death, Little Mac was given time to grieve by her side. Although Little Mac’s behavior remains unchanged, her care team is closely watching her. “People have grown up with Sujatha,” said zoo CEO Rich Block. “The thousands

of people that were introduced to her were changed by that,” he said. “You cannot be close to something that physically impressive without feeling impacted.” Block described the important link Sujatha provided between people and the plight of Asian elephants. Within India and Southeast Asia, the animals are considered endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, their main threat being loss of natural habitat. “Through close interaction, Sujatha made an impact on people, and that connection is important for helping elephants around the world,” Block said. While Little Mac’s future at the zoo is unclear, Block said there will likely be no more elephants joining the Santa Barbara family. The standards of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums require elephants to be owned in groups. Block says the only reason Sujatha and Little Mac were able to stay in Santa Barbara is because “they have been together forever.” —Tess Kenny

MAYORAL CONTENDERS: Paula Perotte and Michael Bennett

Leading Through Good Land Growth

Perotte and Bennett Run to Become Goleta’s First Elected Mayor

by Jean Yamamura

or the first time, Goleta voters will be voting directly for their mayor this November 6. The two-year term is barely enough time to learn the ropes of city government and then handle them adroitly, but the two running have served as city councilmembers for a collective couple of decades. There’s a little daylight between Michael Bennett’s and Paula Perotte’s enthusiasm for their city, but, tellingly, Bennett’s campaign contributions have come from the business sector and from firefighters, while Perotte is endorsed by the Democratic machine and the Goodland Coalition. The big dog in the room is development. But first, a little history. Michael Bennett remembers well the day politics became meaningful for him. It was the day John F. Kennedy was killed. During the subsequent classes he took to become a county firefighter, he became interested in the connection between fire districts and city governments and the rules that bound and divided them. He was involved in nearly all the attempts at cityhood for Goleta after taking up residence in 1970. After retiring, Bennett won a seat on the council in 2006, helping to form a governing body elected as an antidote to what many saw as an overly slow- or no-growth council. Paula Perotte rose to public notice by lying down. It was summertime, and she was seeing crosswalks being painted out at Goleta’s elementary schools, apparently a misguided attempt by Public Works to route all kids to one crosswalk per school. The paint crew refused to hear her explanation that eliminating crosswalks first required a public hearing. Instead of arguing further, she simply lay in the street to stop them, while her friend, Eva Inbar, called Public Works. “I don’t know what she’s doing!” Inbar recalled exclaiming on the phone, “but she’s here, in the street!” Perotte laughed while remembering that the

painter finally told her, “I don’t know who you are, lady, but we just got told to stop.” When Perotte ran for City Council in 2010, large, previously approved development projects were beginning to break ground. The straw that broke the public’s back was Westar/Hollister Village, an immense construction project on Hollister that followed hard on the heels of several hotels, Sumida Gardens apartments, and the houses built at the Hideaway and the Bluffs. Like the last two, Westar is near the Hollister Avenue and Storke Road intersection, which was and is a magnet for traffic to the big-box stores at Camino Real Marketplace, as well as to Isla Vista. Westar was also the beginning of the end of Goleta’s mountain views on the south side of the highway. The Westar project’s traffic experts left Perotte in disbelief. She was certain the intersection at Storke and Hollister would suffer from the 266 new apartments and shopping center. Bennett voted in favor, calling the current redesign “more natural” and saying the project filled a critical housing need. The intersection’s backup sometimes reaches northbound Highway 101; a new highway overpass just north of there exists in concept only. Aside from their views on growth, the two have very different styles. Bennett has a prodigious memory for dates and obscure facts, and he generally opens a conversation by reaching back into years past. This gives him traction when he weighs in on lengthy projects like Fire Station 10 (first mapped out in 1963, according to Bennett) and the new train station. His votes on the council have tended to be with the majority on any issue. Perotte, who’s taking her turn as mayor this year (Goleta’s council had rotated the position among themselves), said she preferred to work behind the scenes on the issues. As mayor, she wields her gavel both pleasantly and firmly, as when she convinced

“Workforce agreements are becoming the way to do business in the state of California,” declared Tony Skinner, secretary-treasurer of the Tri Counties Building and Construction Trades Council. On the other side of the fence, reflecting the inherent tension between unions and big builders, are Santa Barbara’s big general contractors. Frank Schipper Construction Company manager Phil Orr said it’s simply inaccurate, not to mention insulting, for Hart to suggest that nonunion outfits perform inferior work. “For them to insinuate that just because we are nonunion we are not qualified is a slap in the face,” Orr said, noting that his company has 30 years of experience under its belt with a robust training program and countless completed contracts for the city, its Housing Authority, and the Santa Barbara Unified School District, as well as at the Lobero Theatre, the Music Academy of the West, and the Santa Barbara Zoo. Orr promised a Community Workforce Agreement would have the opposite effect of its intent. “In concept it all sounds really good to secure local involvement,” he said. “That’s all fine and dandy when you live in a union town or a big metro area, but we don’t.” A spokesperson for the Santa Barbara Contractors Association confirmed that of its 300 members, general contractors and subcontractors alike, approximately 95 percent

are nonunion. Santa Barbara will therefore be forced to hire out of the area, especially on large jobs, Orr said. Hart has responded by stating the city’s policy will be carefully molded with that consideration by looking to nearby county or tri-county options if none can be found in city limits. “I think it’s a horrible idea,” said Bill Shields with Armstrong Associates, which has headed construction on the MOXI Children’s Museum, Cottage Hospital, and Arlington Village. Shields is most worried that prioritizing unions will drive up costs as mobilizing crews from outside the city will add to any project’s bottom line. If the point of hiring union-only is to ensure fair pay for workers, Shields went on, that’s already been accomplished with the city’s “living wage” and state and federal rules that require the payment of union-equivalent or “prevailing wages” to all projects that involve public funds. The issue will be revisited by the city’s Ordinance Committee at its November 7 meeting. In the meantime, nonunion contractors are meeting individually with councilmembers to plead their case. Hart is trying to get the agreement finalized before he shifts to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors in June. Fellow councilmembers and city staff have expressed skepticism that fast-tracking such a significant ordinance will be possible. n

Montecito Wastewater Wars Escalate

IN THE RED: This example of the county’s new emergency map indicates that Montecito Water District headquarters, at 583 San Ysidro Road, sits in the line of fire of another debris flow.

New Debris Flow Evac Plan Announced

ith the rainy season on the horizon and the continued threat of debris flows looming, county managers are announcing a new evacuation plan for residents in the line of fire. An interactive online risk map published by the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) now highlights individual parcels along watersheds that will be evacuated ahead of a predicted debris flow. The map is a more precise and conveniently searchable version of the familiar red-and-yellow risk map released by OEM in early February. It also possesses a few key differences. While the old map delineated areas as “extreme risk” in red and “high risk” in yellow, the new one only outlines in red the properties that will be evacuated. The amount of rainfall on the Thomas Fire burn scar that will trigger an evacuation has increased from 0.5 inches per hour to 0.8 inches per hour to reflect the growing amount of ground-stabilizing vegetation now on the hillsides. When possible, said OEM director Rob Lewin, county officials will issue their storm

Lewin stressed that rainstorms can intensify quickly with little warning; residents should have a plan if they get caught in one, such as identifying high ground on their property or nearby. This information, along with other critically important announcements, will be presented at two upcoming community meetings: the first at 5:30 p.m. on October 25 at Montecito Union School and the second at 5:30 p.m. on October 29 at the Veterans Memorial Building in Carpinteria.

State Lands to add a hydrogen sulfide monitor to the latest plan to deal with Venoco’s remains. Perotte also prefers consensus votes at the council, but her comments generally review both sides of an issue. When she votes against the majority, which she often did before the current slower-growth council, she does so with conviction. Looked at only through the lens of development, the most glaring difference between the candidates is Measure G, Goleta’s answer to losing ag lands to concrete and asphalt. Passed in 2012, Measure G requires any development on an ag parcel larger than 10 acres to be put to a public vote. Perotte supported Measure G. Bennett signed the opposition to it. He explained recently that he was concerned that UCSB, which purchased its North Campus from Bishop’s owners in 1995, might also buy the ranch,

putting it under state regulation and beyond the city’s permit control. For the future, Bennett hopes as mayor to advocate for long-term projects, like the new train station and La Patera underpass. “I’m very proud to be part of that process,” he said, “to have convinced my colleagues at SBCAG (Santa Barbara County Association of Governments) to get the grants to build the multi-modal transportation center. It’s a real win.” Perotte’s view of the future is colored with concern that Goleta retain its small-town feel. “People are so kind here,” she said, “even when they don’t agree with you.” She said she’s in favor of development; it just has to be the right kind. “That Old Town feel, agricultural land, those are obviously so important to so many people in this area,” she said. “I want to make n sure we’re listening to our residents.”

powerful Sacramento law firm associated with the statewide Republican Party issued a sternly worded “cease and desist” order to Diane Gabriel and the Montecito Sanitary District, ordering them not to purchase any more advertisements on the subject of “partially treated” wastewater being dumped into the ocean. The letter—from the firm Bell, McAndrews & Hiltachk— said the advertisement was clearly intended to influence the outcome of the current election for the Montecito Sanitary District, thus violating state election code barring the expenditure of public funds by any public agency on behalf of any candidates or ballot measures. The ad in question — which appeared in last Sunday’s News-Press — alludes only to information the district characterized as misleading in “news articles, political ads and mailers.” The ad never mentioned by name the organization printing these mailers — the Committee for Montecito Water Security —or the names of the committee candidates now running for two seats on the sanitary

board of directors. The water-security slate has attacked the sanitary district for not providing recycled, treated wastewater and for “dumping” 500,000 gallons of partially treated wastewater into the ocean daily. Sanitary district manager Gabriel has objected to the term “partially treated” as both inaccurate and alarming. “We want people to know their beaches are clean and the water is safe to swim in,” she said, insisting that the treated wastewater — piped nearly 1,500 feet off the coast—meets secondary treatment standards. “We can work with whoever gets elected,” Gabriel added. “This isn’t about politics. This is about our reputation as an agency. We need people to know we’re doing our job.” Gabriel and the district had scheduled a series of open houses at the sanitary district over this past weekend to reassure the public. Those open house hours, she stated, would not be affected. “We do this all the time,” she stated. “This is just a different kind of poop we’re dealing with.” —Nick Welsh

School Board Votes to Buy Armory

he unanimous, acrossthe-board vote was a foregone conclusion Tuesday night at the Santa Barbara School District’s Board of Education meeting, the culmination of more than 25 years of effort by boardmembers, superintendents, community advocates, and lawmakers to purchase — for $11.6 million — the California National Guard armory, a 27,000-square-foot landmark building on nearly five acres situated directly between Santa Barbara Junior High and Santa Barbara High School. Boardmembers sounded off their vote in unison, “Aye!” and the district’s longtime attorney, Craig Price, responded, “Wow!” “This will be a great deal for the [district and] the entire Santa Barbara community,” said Lanny Ebenstein (pictured), who requested that the district explore the idea in 1991, when he was a boardmember. “This creates the possibility for a single, 60-acre educational complex.” Originally, he added, the site was considered for an elementary school. But since then, the focus has evolved into partnering, especially with Santa Barbara City College, to develop technical education programs. “Superintendent Cary Matsuoka thinks the discussion should include Cal State Channel Islands, which is also a good idea,” Ebenstein said. Boardmember Kate Parker spoke of the armory being used “for a broad community purpose … to benefit the entire South Coast.” INDEPENDENT.COM

While district voters in 2016 approved a $135 million facilities bond — Measure I —which earmarked $20 million to purchase and renovate the armory, “we do know it will [cost] more than $20 million,” said former boardmember Ed Heron, a supporter of the acquisition, referring, in part, to expenses associated with seismically outdated historic buildings. “Where is it going to come from and how long will it take? It’s only fair to say … that it will stay vacant quite a while before a student steps foot on it.

MURDER IN ISTANBUL: It’s nice to know,

albeit perversely, that some limits still exist. This will come as cold comfort to Jamal Khashoggi, the world-traveling Washington Post reporter who stepped inside Istanbul’s Saudi consulate on October 2 and never stepped out again. We have since learned that within two minutes, Khashoggi—a lifelong palace insider who’d gotten terminally sideways with the most recent occupant of the Saudi throne—had been swarmed by 15 Saudi government goons. Within seven minutes, he was dead. Within 22 minutes, he’d been sawed into so many bits and pieces that his remains could be carted away in ice cube trays. In the month since Khashoggi’s murder, the Saudi government has offered many different stories. First, they said he walked away on his own steam. Then they said he had gotten into a fistfight at the consulate. Then they acknowledged he got strangled as part of that fight. But, they insisted, his death wasn’t part of any orchestrated plan. It just happened, as things sometimes do when one person is having a fistfight with 15 others. Thanks to audiotapes recorded by the Turkish government, which has been bugging the Saudi embassy, we now have a more complete version of the story—in its “full nakedness,” as promised Turkish dictator Recep Erdoğan. Only when compared to Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman (aka MBS), the suspected master-

mind in the Khashoggi killing, does Erdoğan look remotely palatable. If arresting, beating, and jailing reporters were an Olympic event, Erdoğan himself would be a gold medal winner, such is his regard for the free press. But thanks to Erdoğan, we now know that the Saudis — however impromptu they claim the Khashoggi killing was—just happened to have a body double on hand who looked remarkably like the 59-year-old Khashoggi, except for the fact he didn’t have a goatee. As happenstance would have it, someone brought along a fake beard. Likewise, a forensic physician —in fact, Saudi Arabia’s foremost autopsy expert—happened to be on hand as well. And he just happened to bring along his bone saw. The work of cutting up human bodies, the forensic physician could be heard on tape saying, can prove quite stressful. To deal with that stress, he was heard recommending, those doing the actual sawing might consider listening to music. Even Donald Trump —initially inclined to swat away reports of Khashoggi’s bloody demise as inconvenient, improbable, and irritating—had to wince. For Trump, the truth always is whatever is convenient for him to think in the moment. In the Khashoggi killing, Trump is most concerned about the $110 billion worth of weapons he’s said the Saudi government is going to buy. Those indifferent to the truth are often troubled by accuracy. The real number, the experts tell us, is closer to $15 billion in military sales. That matters only,

I suppose, if that’s the price for which you’re selling your soul. Over time, even Trump was forced to acknowledge the obvious. The whole plan, he now says, was poorly conceived and even more poorly executed. As for the cover, it’s the “the worst ever.” This is something about which he would know. There is no sense of outrage, however. That Trump is saving for the caravan of immigrant refugees now marching north from Central America. Those he’s using to scare his base—with what Trump readily admits are unfounded allegations of “unknown Middle Easterners” and other “criminal” elements—to the polls two weeks hence. If I didn’t know better, I might suspect he planned it. It is tempting, of course, to blame Trump for everything, but probably not fair. At least not totally. But when the so-called leader of the so-called free world issues nonstop fatwas against the media, repeatedly attacking reporters as “enemies of the people,” that has an effect. It riles up those who otherwise need to be calmed down. Bonds of restraint become frayed. They snap. Last year, Greg Gianforte, a Montana Republican running for Congress against a tax-dodging, banjopicking nudist, felt entitled to grab a reporter named Ben Jacobs around the throat with both hands, throw him to the ground so hard his legs bounced, and punch him several times more. Last week, Trump praised that Republican — who pleaded guilty to criminal charges — famously saying, “Any guy that can do a body slam — he’s my kind of guy.” It should be noted that Gianforte went

ballistic after Jacobs asked whether he’d read a government report, then just released, showing that 23 million people would lose health insurance if the Affordable Care Act were repealed. To play the hometown card, the murdered Khashoggi had ties to Santa Barbara connections, his uncle Essam Khashoggi being until relatively recently a longtime Hope Ranch resident—along with his wife, Layla Khashoggi, and their kids. Essam was very much unlike his brother Adnan Khashoggi — the flamboyantly high-profile, $250,000-a-day-lifestyle-of-the-richand-infamous, globetrotting arms merchant involved in the Iran-Contra scandal. Quiet and serious, Essam avoided his brother’s limelight like the plague. In the early 1980s, he had agreed to bankroll an extravagant re-intervention of the intersection of State Street and Cabrillo Boulevard. The plan was for a major roundabout, surrounded by fountains and four tall Corinthian columns. Essam backed out when his role became known. It also turned out that Santa Barbarans greatly preferred the frolicking dolphin fountain, the work of the recently late, always great Bud Bottoms. In the meantime, the question remains, where is Jamal Khashoggi’s body? And what, if anything, will the Trump administration do about the United States’ strategic ally, Saudi Arabia? I doubt we have achieved “full nakedness” yet, but the good news is there’s no fig leaf big enough to cover this up. As good news goes, though, it doesn’t get much — Nick Welsh worse.

vice versa, too. From Eastside restaurants to Hendry’s Sunday sunset family gatherings and all lands betwixt, the city takes meaning and shape from many neighborhoods, shabby to chic, places where we live, dine, and shop; this naked city has 100,000 hearts. Today our main drag is in trouble again. And doomsayers claim that State Street’s maladies threaten our whole town’s health. But I wonder. We know everything changes all the time, even civic centers (consider downtown Los Angeles for a rise, fall, and rise scenario). You could blame the internet. But even old-timers don’t visit State Street anymore unless they want to see a movie or their grandkids in a parade. Young-timers are more likely to barhop off Chapala Street or in Old Town Goleta. (Or in other State Street areas we’re not discussing yet.) Many fear “aggressive panhandlers,” the exaggerated blight of conspicuous poverty. Such avoidances were not true back when State was a cruising zone with warring high school football teams orbiting the KIST building, or when schmooze shopping in local businesses like the Hughes, Kernohan’s, and Earthling Books was what you did.

decade, discotheques bloomed downtown. There were many ups. Right now, traffic is down and disco long dead. The police don’t like dance floors, anyway. Whenever this happens, people (landlords and the business group Downtown Santa Barbara) storm De la Guerra Plaza, hoping City Council might turn the sad tide. But I’ll tell you what. They have. And so many times I’m sick of it. From a façade facelift in the 1970s to the Paseo Nuevo and the Arts Corridor rebranding, State Street campaigners are like the Lobero or City College theater boards: unhappy when not raising money for revamps that engage many but impress few. Meanwhile, other beloved places die. Remember the corner of Mission Street and De la Vina, the hot part of town in the late 1970s? With Derf ’s Café, McConnell’s Ice Cream, Ted’s Books, Miratti’s Liquor Store, the Quality Market, the original Cajun Kitchen, and Mrs. Furay’s enchiladas, your

friends were always there too. Before that, 1960s Coast Village Road: home to The Somerset, the Olive Mill Bistro, the Coast Inn Snack Bar, Gene-O’s, and Baskin-Robbins 31 Flavors, with two record stores, health food, and a magical latenight eatery called Casa Linda. The Mesa is fun (I have a store there), but in the 1990s it was happening: Three video stores, Dean-O’s Pizzarama, a French tearoom, and a vegetarian Brigitte and Norbert Schulz joint. What all these locales have in common is popularity followed by bust. Some went flat on their own clumsy terms; some fell victim to greedy landlords. The rest were swept away by fickle consumers’ changing moods. But no one fretted or bailed out these ’hoods. Besides, State Street is revitalized. Of course, I mean that swath between La Entrada and the awkwardly titled Funk Zone. Check it out, older folks. Anytime you find The Granada Theatre region desolate, cruise

down to the once-ruined Hotel Californian, aswim with tourists, indigenous diners, and young people a-partying — a trifecta that defines revitalization. This was accomplished, you might argue, with City Council intervention, though the council mainly worked against the initial grandiosity of plans. The Funk Zone was invented by contemporary café (neo-hippie) society and brave entrepreneurs with banging publicity departments. Throw in booze rivers, and you get revitalization in a part of town with no theaters, legitimate or otherwise. Talk about homeless problems? My parents wouldn’t allow me in this neighborhood when I was a kid. Bougie Night Owls flock there now. Don’t get me wrong; I’m no libertarian. I don’t think we should let neighborhoods die by marketplace whims, even though that’s what happens. Greedy landlords and building-flipping fortune hunters made State Street uninhabitable for anything but national chains and fancy, upscale boutiques. And now they want help. I say, let State Street’s Arts Corridor and Old Town vine ripen; allow some more dance floors. Meanwhile, help others prosper. (But don’t get me started about the so-called Lagoon District.) Let’s work Milpas, Chapala Street, and Haley. State Street will follow. n

Lightweight Gov

Standing Up for Our Central Coast Values

Diplomat-Developer Runs to Prove a Much-Derided Office Can Wield Real Influence

he late Leo Tarcissus McCarthy, who served longer as California’s lieutenant governor than anyone in state history, once described his workday this way: “You get up in the morning and check to see if the governor’s breathing,” he told a reporter. “If he is, you go back to bed.” McCarthy’s crack is one of many such formulations about a job that Sacramento hacks sometimes refer to as “Lite Guv.” With a relatively infinitesimal budget of $1.5 million and only about a dozen staffers, the gig has few constitutional responsibilities, beyond serving as chief executive if the real governor is out of state or incapacitated. Eleni Kounalakis, one of two Democrats now spending millions to capture the office, has heard all the jokes, however, but doesn’t buy the premise. “If I’m successful, no one will ever ask what the lieutenant governor does again,” she said in an interview last week in Santa Barbara, a few hours before keynoting the Women’s Political Committee 30th anniversary dinner. THE SACRAMENTO CONNECTION: Ener-

getic, earnest and engaging, the wealthy 52-year old Kounalakis previously managed the big-time Sacramento development company founded by her father, Angelo Tsakoupolous, who’s also a major Democratic contributor. Among the beneficiaries of his largesse was former president Obama, who appointed Kounalakis as ambassador to Hungary, and who provided his endorsement for her campaign. This year, Tsakoupolous kicked $5 million into an independent expenditure committee for his daughter’s race, which helped her finish first in the June primary. She won, 24 percent to 21 percent, over second-place contender Ed Hernandez, a veteran state legislator from Azusa, whom she faces in a Dem-on-Dem contest on November 6. On election night 2016, Kounalakis had gathered with other Hillary Clinton backers at the Javits Center in New York City. Instead of a celebration, it began an unplanned odyssey into elective politics. “People like me have been referred to as the Class of 2016,” she said, referencing the large number of women campaigning nationally in reaction to Donald Trump and his misogyny. “I was motivated to run for office after Hillary Clinton lost.” BULLY PULPIT: The lieutenant gover-

nor’s influence stems from seats on the State Lands Commission, where Kounalakis vows to combat Trump’s bid to expand oil drilling offshore and on public lands, and on the UC Board of Regents,

where she says she would focus her effort. “The Regents is a big thing,” she said. “I really do have a goal that, after four years, people will know that the Lieutenant Governor’s office is responsible for engaging in public higher education.” Her “number one priority,” she added, is, “I will never vote for tuition increases.” “I went to graduate school at UC Berkeley, and it cost me two thousand dollars a year. It’s $62,000 a year for an MBA at Berkeley now — what the hell?” she said. “What I hope to do in this position is not just vote against them but be known as the voice of activism around fighting tuition increase and fighting for the many other ways of making higher education affordable, starting with bringing down the cost of housing in higher education for our kids.” A BROADER PORTFOLIO? Kounala-

kis views her developer background as a potential asset in state government’s aggressive attempt to expand California’s housing stock. Ever the diplomat, she quickly adds that it’s up to the governor to decide whether she would play a role in the matter. The new governor, of course, all but certainly will be Gavin Newsom, the current Lite Guv, who spent much of the past eight years whining about the limits of his office. “I am not presumptuous, because I think it’s really important to wait and see if I win this, and, if I win it, to wait and talk with the next governor,” she said. Despite that acknowledgement of the subordinate role of the job she seeks, Kounalakis is confident about making an impact on politics and policy. “The reality is, it’s much more power than being an unelected, ordinary citizen,” she said. Well, there is that. —Jerry Roberts

on’t expect goodwill among the parties to smooth the path to resolution of differences about rent control and Proposition 10 on the November ballot, nor experts to find answers that please all involved. And don’t expect power and political pressures to be less than decisive. But do hope that democratic procedures are capable of dealing with the issues, ultimately, with fairness and reasonable efficiency. Should the Costa-Hawkins law continue broadly to prohibit local rent control, or should Prop. 10 be approved to lift that prohibition? For any steps toward fulfilling the hope of a decent and affordable home in a desirable neighborhood — the decades-old promise of federal policy, which also needs to be addressed — the first step is the repeal of Costa-Hawkins. Pass Proposition 10 on the November ballot. (Rent control pros and cons are explored in detail at independent.com/prop10debate.)

Ring Net Limitations

n response to “Lords of the Rings” [independent.com/ringlords], if Montecito installs canyon ring nets to catch debris flows, and people do not evacuate because they have ring nets for protection, then those ring nets have created a new threat to public safety. Ring nets are an engineering solution to a natural event. All engineering solutions have limits — they are built to withstand something — and whatever those limits are, natural events can exceed them. Stuff happens: the unusual, the unlucky, the unforeseen, the unforeseeable. In my many years as a geophysicist with a focus on keeping communities safe during natural disasters, I know way too many examples. I’ve got special respect for debris flows. For sheer unstoppable deadliness, they’re second only to explosive volcanic eruptions (Think Mt. St. Helens, not Kilauea). At scientific meetings after Japan’s 2011 tsunami, I heard stories that continue to haunt me. Japan’s coastal communities face ongoing tsunami threat, and many have engineered solutions such as tsunami walls, designed to divert tsunamis up to a particular size. In 2011, many people knew a tsunami was coming but didn’t move to higher ground because evacuation is a hassle and the wall had stopped other tsunamis. So they stayed in harm’s way, and thousands died. Their tsunami wall was not designed to protect them from the event that happened that day. Different disaster, but important lessons for —Sue Perry, Carpinteria us here.

Reasonable Standard

an the authors of “‘Enlightened’ Denials” [independent.com/denials] really believe that Steven Pinker, espousing the benefits of the

enlightenment, is suggesting that we resurrect eugenics or that we should discount the bloody history that got us to today? Or is this piece, in dancing around the reality of biological differences (however minute), and/or interpreting Pinker’s work as some kind of racist/sexist dog whistle, actually ironic satire defending his case —David Padrón, S.B. for reason?

Vote Brad, Gregg, and Al

fter attending the Carpinteria Chamber of Commerce forum for City Council candidates, my takeaway is “stay the course.” Our three incumbent councilmembers, Brad Stein, Gregg Carty, and Al Clark, have served our city well. They have the knowledge and experience to deal with the challenges faced by our community. Carpinteria has experienced an economic and cultural renaissance that has not gone unnoticed. We have become known as a special place to visit and live, described in the media as “Southern California’s last small beach town” because we don’t pave over our past; we preserve it. Being noticed has its downsides. For one, it attracts the attention of outside interests whose primary motive is to make money. Unchecked, they can incrementally destroy the character and charm of our community. Brad, Gregg and Al have proven they can push back against those who are only looking to enrich themselves at our expense. While they are not against development, they believe it must be a good fit, not a force fit. They always have and will continue to place people ahead of profit. So please vote for all three if you live in the City of Carpinteria, and rest assured that they will continue to represent you! —Bob Jordan, Carpinteria

Vote Darcél Elliott for SBCC

was elected with Marsha Croninger to the SBCC Board of Trustees in 2010, part of a reform slate whose issues have improved greatly. However, new challenges exist at Santa Barbara City College, challenges Marsha is not equipped to deal with and may have exacerbated. I disagree with the Independent’s endorsement to reelect her, and I endorse Darcél Elliott for SBCC trustee. Board tensions with faculty, staff, and students are at an all-time high, due largely to how they are treated by our board, including by Marsha. She stated her view on students during a recent episode of Newsmakers with Jerry Roberts, when she said that she did not believe students to be constituents of the Board of Trustees. Her dismissive attitude diminishes and demoralizes the very population she should be supporting and encouraging. She also is dismissive of staff time and meddles in everyday issues, which caused accreditation to take notice, a first for SBCC. I have known Darcél Elliott for 10 years; she empowers constituencies around her. I worked with her in 2011-12 when she helped organize my Mesa neighborhood to transfer Cliff Drive from a state highway to a city street. After 20 years of the neighborhood’s unsuccessful efforts, I watched Darcél work masterfully with the city and Caltrans to get it done in two years. Darcél Elliott is collaborative, committed, and just the type of leader Santa Barbara —Marty Blum, S.B. City College needs.

Water-San Contenders

s voters consider the performance of the Montecito Sanitary District (MSD), it is important that they understand that it treats about 500,000 gallons a day of wastewater to the minimum level of compliance (secondary) and then discharges it off of Butterfly Beach, despite the fact that Heal the Ocean has called on all local sanitation districts to discharge at the cleaner tertiary standard. Summerland and many coastal sanitation districts, by contrast, treat to tertiary, and many of them recycle wastewater, thereby reducing ocean discharge altogether. The MSD board has done little to pursue recycling. It is instead moving forward with a new $3.5 million building. All of this is entirely inconsistent with our community values. We have used pointed language to make this important point because Montecito deserves much better. With support from dozens of concerned residents, the Montecito Water Security Team was organized by a group of committed individuals to bring a resilient, sustainable, and reliable water supply to Montecito. Our platform is to capture every drop of water this side of the mountain by pursuing desal, recycled wastewater for landscape irrigation, strategic and sustainable groundwater management and use, and conservation. The water and sanitation districts incumbents had more than a decade to bring a secure water supply to Montecito and failed to do so. The Montecito Water Security Team is deeply committed to the community and represents the most environmentally conscious slate in —Cori Hayman, Ken Coates, Montecito’s history.

Another $650,000!

he Independent missed the $650,000 that the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors, along with Ventura and Ojai Realtors, distributed to Thomas Fire victims in “Disaster Relief Rundown” last week [independent.com/ disasterrundown]. In all, 278 families received grants of up to $3,000 to cover a month’s rent or mortgage payment. All three associations were proud to have the opportunity to help so many area residents who had lost their homes. The program gave a helping hand to people who had lost hope that they would receive any more assistance because the disaster was “over,” as we heard countless times from recipients. While the funding is now exhausted, our community is still involved and assisting other organizations with preparing for the next disaster and helping people find —Jeff Chavolla, homes.

Smoking Signs

or over 30 years, I have worked tirelessly as a health educator with the Public Health Department and as a community activist to have Santa Barbara County go smoke-free. It has taken a coalition more than a dozen agencies and individuals to convince elected officials to make far-reaching policies to restrict smoking indoors and outdoors. I congratulate and thank the Santa Barbara City Council and its staff for one of the most comprehensive outdoor air laws in the county. Smoking, not just cigarettes, but also e-cigarettes and marijuana, is banned in most outdoor areas. In fact, there are only five places where smoking is permitted: bar patios, restaurant patios after 10 p.m., private parking lots, private vehicles, and the 18 holes of the municipal golf course. I look forward to having signs installed, which will allow for more self-enforcement and improve public education. This will help make this law a reality.

Armory, Yes

he Santa Barbara Unified School District should be commended for its efforts to return the National Guard Armory to community use. Located between Santa Barbara High School and Santa Barbara Junior High, this opportunity will create the largest, continuous single public-education site within the city, stretching six blocks north to south from Anapamu to Cota Street, and four blocks east to west from Milpas to Olive Street, encompassing about 60 acres. The Armory will serve our community for decades to come. There is no reason why students will not be using the Armory property a century from now. We believe there should be an inclusive and deliberate master planning process for the Armory site. It should be in`tegrated not just with Santa Barbara High School and Santa Barbara Junior High, but with other public and nonprofit facilities in the vicinity. Serious consideration should be given to closing De la Guerra Street between Santa Barbara Junior High and the Armory to expand playing fields. The 4.7 acres of the existing Armory site—an entire city block—together with its more than 27,000 square feet of buildings, constitute the most significant addition to civic property and infrastructure in Santa Barbara for decades. The final product has the potential to be a hub and center of Santa Barbara’s education system.

Barry B. Langberg 11/24/42-10/04/18

Barry Langberg, one of the nation’s most renowned and preeminent trial lawyers, has died. He was 75 years old. He passed on Thursday, October 4, 2018, at the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in his home town of Santa Barbara, California following a fierce and valiant battle with cancer. In his final days, he was surrounded by his wife, his children and his extended family of close friends. Known across the globe as a ground-breaking First Amendment lawyer, Mr. Langberg battled for and won over 100 jury verdicts over the course of his prestigious nearly 50-year career. His clientele was a who’s who of the entertainment world and national and international titans of industry. The Los Angeles Times referred to Mr. Langberg as “one of the nation’s premier libel attorneys,” and The Atlantic said that Langberg “ushered in” the modern era of libel litigation with his landmark victory in the case of Carol Burnett vs. National Enquirer. Mr. Langberg enjoyed long-time membership and recognition on virtually every nationally recognized peer-reviewed list of best lawyers in America. And, he cherished the role of mentor and teacher, taking every opportunity to pass on to his younger colleagues the lessons from a lifetime of trial and life experience. More so than his remarkable legal career, Mr. Langberg will be remembered and revered for the life he led outside of the courtroom. A world traveler, Mr. Langberg visited over 50 countries with his family and friends, most times by sailboat, which was one of his life passions. Japan and Venice, Italy remained among his favorite places on earth, and one could not visit Venice, his home away from home, without experiencing the fine cuisine of his favorite restaurant in the world, Trattorio do Forni. He was born in Baltimore, MD, but lived primarily in Brooklyn, NY until the age of 5, where he developed a lifelong love for the Dodgers. While still very young, his family moved to San Francisco, which remained his home through young adulthood. He attended the University of San Francisco as an undergraduate and later obtained his law degree from the University of San Francisco, School of Law. He worked as a beat cop and briefly as an undercover police officer in the infamous Haight-Asbury district of San Francisco. Following in his father’s footsteps, Barry 22

THE INDEPENDENT

also operated his own men’s tailor shop, Barry’s of Westlake – “for the man who has it made” - to help put himself through law school. Law school was the culmination of a childhood dream, as Barry always knew he wanted to be a trial lawyer even as a young boy. On more than a few occasions he skipped school to watch trials in the public courthouses of downtown San Francisco. After he graduated, he joined the public defender’s office in Los Angeles where he honed his trial skills. He stayed in Los Angeles when he moved to private practice, where he ultimately found fame as one of the country’s preeminent entertainment and First Amendment trial lawyers. It was also in Los Angeles where Barry met his dearest and most treasured friends with whom he ultimately built his life. Mr. Langberg’s politics and community involvement were inspired by the same core principles that guided his life: empathy, compassion, and simple human kindness. He was an avid student and faithful believer in psychology and its healing powers. Perhaps more than all else, Barry will be remembered for his endless drive and selfless commitment to helping his friends and loved ones, especially the young. His profound impact on the lives of so many will be one his many legacies that will endure for generations to come. In life more generally, Barry was not one to compartmentalize one role over another to achieve an end. Everything he did was subject to his non-negotiable code of honor. Whether he was competing in the courtroom or on the baseball diamond, integrity and dignity were never compromised. As a law partner, he always wanted to be the bargain to the firm and not get the better of a bargain over his partners. Mr. Langberg’s joys in life were many. He was a walking/talking encyclopedia of baseball statistics, dating all the way back to the birth of the game. He was a catcher himself, and played competitively up until his illness this year. He believed, with every fiber of his being, that baseball is the greatest game ever invented. Barry was also a competitive bowler. He found great joy in the music of James Brown and the writings of Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, and William Shakespeare. He loved oysters, stone crab, an occasional glass of Moscato wine, and cooking (claiming always to hold the world’s best recipe for chicken cacciatore). Barry Langberg lived a life of service to the people he loved. He will be missed. He is survived by his wife Becka Chester, his son Mitch (Laura) Langberg, his two daughters Elena Langberg and Marie Rousso, his two grandchildren, Brianna and Lexie Langberg, and generations of friends he considered family. Services will be held on November 4, 2018, 11:00 a.m., at The Sunken Gardens at the Santa

Robert passed on to heaven peacefully Sunday morning, October 14, 2018, at the age of 94. In his last days he was surrounded by loved ones in Santa Barbara, in the comfort of his room at Abundant Care, a very supportive and loving environment, where he had lived for two years. Dad was foremost a family man. After a successful career in the aerospace industry, he left Haveg Reinhold Engineering in Santa Fe Springs, California, when he was 60 years old. He enjoyed a long retirement with his wife Edith, who preceded him death five years ago. Robert and Edith moved to Carlsbad from Anaheim early in their retirement, where they loved caring for their yard, including beautiful orchids and fuchsias, and a vegetable garden every spring. Dad loved playing golf well into his 70s, and always looked forward to Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations with extended family at their home. Robert lived a long and healthy life. He moved to Santa Barbara for the last four years to be near his daughter Kathleen, who was honored to care for this beloved patriarch in the last phase of his life. She was with him through his last breath and treasures that memory. He was preceded in death by his parents, a sister and three brothers, his wife Edith and daughter Roberta. Family members who will miss his loving presence include sisters Yolanda Chavez and Rosemary Stanley; daughter Kathleen Rodriguez (husband John Zant); granddaughters Della (Chris) Ducharme, Rachel Michaelson (Josh Kaminski), and Lisa Allen; grandson Sam Allen; six greatgrandchildren (Jake, Shaun, Jason, Ella, Canon, and Edie); three sisters in law, Yolanda Ornelas, Juanita Rodriguez and Nita Rodriguez; 24 nieces and nephews, and their families. He leaves a legacy of being a caring, responsible and loyal grandson, son, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and great grandfather. The one word he used the most was this: “Familia.” That was the most important thing to dad.

obituaries Sue Forster Vincent 09/30/37-10/15/18

Sue Forster Vincent, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully on October 15, 2018 at her home in Santa Barbara. Born on September 30, 1937 in Battle Creek, Michigan, Sue was the daughter of a dentist and a teacher, Burton T. Forster and Carol Reynolds Forster. Sue graduated from the University of Arizona and the University of Pennsylvania where she received a Master’s Degree in Guidance & Counseling in 1961. Sue met the love of her life, Dr. Nicholas J. Vincent, at Penn in 1959 and they married in 1962. She taught world history and English and was a school counselor while Nick was a flight surgeon in the U.S. Navy in Fallon, Nevada, and later became a substitute teacher in San Francisco for four years while Nick completed his residency. Sue and Nick moved to Santa Barbara in 1969 where Nick practiced ophthalmology for 31 years. In 1970 they welcomed their first son Scott and less than two years later, twins John and Jim. Sue was a devoted mother and strong advocate for education. She combined these passions in 1975 when she was elected to serve the first of two terms on the board of the Hope Elementary School District, at the same time volunteering as a docent at the Santa Barbara Historical Society Museum. In 1988, Sue joined the Assistance League of Santa Barbara, serving for 25 years in nearly every leadership position including President. She made her mark in all of the organization’s programs – serving infants to seniors – but never more than in 2000 when she created the Fostering Friends program to help foster youth when they are emancipated from foster care. In 2012 the Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics named Sue their Healthcare Hero – recognizing her for a decade of tireless work at the Eastside Family Dental Clinic where she taught families dental hygiene and nutrition as part of Santa Barbara Smiles, an Assistance League program she helped create. Sue was an early and active member of the Women’s Fund of Santa Barbara for 12 years, serving for two years as a volunteer researcher. Sue had a passion for tennis, golf, a long-running book club and a gourmet group that thrived for 40 years. She chaired the Women’s Golf Association at La Cumbre Country Club in 2011-12.

Kate Doordan Klavan 01/01/46-10/13/18

Kate Doordan Klavan, journalist, author, artist, care giver, passed away at home in Santa Barbara on October 13, 2018, of ALS. Born January 1, 1946, in Wilmington, Delaware, Kate graduated St. Mary’s Academy, South Bend, Indiana, and earned a B.A degree from Barat College in Lake Forest, Illinois. As spokesperson for the Heart Association in Philadelphia, she rode the traffic copter to deliver her public service announcements. Local radio (WPEN) liked the voice, so she entered broadcasting. Invited to New York City she joined WHN and later WINS All-News Radio as on-air reporter and staff announcer. After marriage to Ross Klavan, from whom she was later divorced, she moved to London where she worked in independent radio. Returning to New York, she became a top broadcast journalist at WABC News. She anchored network radio newscasts nationally and covered special events like the Reagan-Gorbachev summits. Kate found time to embrace her love of antiques and miniature furniture, which resulted in a book, “American Period Interiors in Miniature,” still a standard reference in the field. After 17 years in New York, she was drawn to the American West. Using Park City, Utah, as a base she explored the landscape she loved while staying active in cultural and civic causes in Salt Lake City and Park City, especially the Park City Library Board of Trustees. Kate

joined the SLC Olympic Commit Committee, traveling to Budapest to help win the bid for the 2002 Winter Games. Her ‘highway time’ work included traveling as a mystery shopper, posing as a potential bank customer throughout the West (her “bank jobs”). Her mother’s passion for Native American history and art led her to work with the Crosby Collection and helped manage their very successful Indian arts gallery and shop for many years. After 20 years she relocated to Santa Barbara to care for younger brother Jim, stricken with MS. In 2010 Kate was awarded Advocate of the Year by Cottage Rehabilitation Hospital. (Jim died just earlier this year.) During these years Kate became a docent for Lotusland, a prominent botanical garden filled with exotic flora and unusual history. She also exhibited locally her own collages of antique wall paper, postcards, and found objects in uncanny juxtapositions that exposed her whimsical wit and acute observations of human nature. Petite in stature, Kate was large of heart, filled with insatiable curiosity, and deep love of family, books, and art. She hated hypocrisy, sugar, and alcohol, and leaves behind many friends. Kate is survived by brothers John Doordan of Santa Barbara and Dennis Doordan of South Bend, Indiana, their spouses, Tracie Doordan and Marcia Rickard, nephew Ryan Doordan, niece Kelly Doordan of Silver Spring, Maryland, her spouse Luke Jones, and their sons Xayden and Kiran. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests: - ALSA Golden West Chapter, PO Box 565, Agoura Hills, CA 91376 (ALS Association local chapter supported Kate remarkably for 18 months.) - KCLU, the local NPR outlet.

Matthew Augustine Hoyne 06/19/65-08/17/18

Matthew Augustine Hoyne was born on June 19, 1965, to Eugenia Gladstone and John Reardon Hoyne. His parents were raised in Oak Park, Illinois, and in 1970 with their six children moved from the East Coast to Santa Barbara, California, where two more children were born, creating a family of eight children: Margaret, Moira, John, James, Matthew, Ruth, Peachy and Luke. Matthew attended Montecito Union School and Our Lady of Mount Carmel prior to joining the family’s move to Greenwich, Connecticut, in 1982, where he attended Eagle Hill School and then Riverview School in East Sandwich, Massachusetts. Riverview offered a structured and supportive learning environment for moderate special needs students and believed that teenagers like Matthew with perceptually and intellectually based learning problems could acquire the variety of skills necessary to achieve a productive life. Matthew subsequently worked in Boston at commercial banks prior to a long-term position with the Museum of Science. His time in Boston was notable for his extensive network of friend and colleagues who remained

life-long friends. Matthew returned to the West coast to be closer to family, where he settled in Los Angeles and worked for Fried Asset Management and actively participated in Brentwood Presbyterian Church. In 2016, Matthew moved back to his hometown of Santa Barbara and completed the Basic Yoga Teacher Training Program at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. Matthew approached his cancer diagnosis with his lifelong determination to live life to its fullest extent. He comfortably spent his final month surrounded by friends and family at Serenity House where he died August 17, 2018.

Janice Monet Cosentino 08/28/45-10/15/18

Janice Monet Cosentino, 73, of Santa Barbara, CA passed away peacefully at home October 15, 2018. She was born in Camp Lejeune, Jacksonville, NC, but called Santa Barbara her home where she lived for more than 4 decades. She is survived by her daughters Sophia and Angela, and her beloved grandchildren, Evelyn, Clara, Kyra, and baby Henry who is due in January, plus many other loving relatives. She was preceded in death by her parents, Hulet and Leona Scott, and her brother, Bruce Scott, who we lost just two years ago. Janice was co-owner of Gold’s Gym in Santa Barbara and Goleta for 18 years. She thought of her coworkers as family and thoroughly enjoyed her time with them, helping host many company offsites, holiday parties and BBQ’s. In her semi-retirement she did some part time bookkeeping, enjoyed working in her garden, dinners with family, shopping, going on walks with friends, and spending time with her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She was an integral part of raising them and will continue to be an influence on their lives as they draw upon all she taught them. Each day these last few weeks she would wake up with a deep appreciation for the life she lived, emotionally filled with love, and of course some sadness. We cannot express enough our incredible heartbreak and sorrow, but also feel honored and lucky to have had these years together. She will forever be in our hearts. The family would like to thank the staff of Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital and Ridley Tree Cancer Center. A special thanks to Visiting Nurse & Hospice Care for their loving care and guidance. A private memorial to be held.

COVER STORY

BILL BERTKA’S

BEAUTIFUL LIFE

hen Bill Bertka comes up with an idea, it’s worth hearing him out. His ideas about recreation and sports are manifest all over Santa Barbara. His basketball concepts helped create Showtime (the Lakers of the 1980s) in Los Angeles. At 91, he still boomerangs to L.A. as “special assistant and consultant” for the Lakers, but he remains rooted in Santa Barbara, his home for almost six decades. Bertka wanted to talk the other day about the downtown stretch of State Street, with all its empty storefronts. “You’ve got sports bars; why not have a sports hall of fame?” he asked. He brought three pages of notes, listing various cities that put their athletic heritage on public display. The Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in the town square of Virginia Beach comprises exhibits in different offices and lobbies, connected by a pedestrian tour called Walk the Hall. “All the vacant spaces on State Street, turn it over to nonprofit; you’re going to get a tax write-off on the property,” Bertka said. “Halls of fame stimulate interest in the community. When these boats come to Santa Barbara and bring people up State Street, have something of interest. Put athletes’ stars on State Street like in Hollywood. They’re paying consultants thousands of dollars to get some ideas. These are free.” Bertka had an official voice in civic projects when he was the city’s recreation director from 1961 to 1972. He promoted a myriad of activities. “We had fitness classes called the Huff and Puff program at Dwight Murphy Field,” he said. “We started volleyball in the afternoon on the beach. We had exercise for mothers at Cabrillo Pavilion; they could bring their babies. We started flag football down at Chase Park; all the elementary

schools had teams, and they played on Saturdays. We had the Walk for Life program on the beach in conjunction with the American Heart Association. It was called cardiovascular conditioning.” Bertka had the recreation department take over an art show in De la Guerra Plaza. “A guy by the name of Robert Eischen originated it,” he said. “We moved it down to the beach because of the space down there. There was all kinds of criticism. ‘You’re ruining the beach!’ Now people think [the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show] is one of the greatest things. It’s not only popular from that standpoint, but it gets people out walking; it promotes activity.” Another venture was the restoration of the Carrillo Street Gym. “It was a storage facility in 1961,” Bertka said. “I got them to turn it back into a gymnasium.” But there was pressure from City Hall to pull other properties out of recreational use. The most significant casualty was Laguna Park, a downtown baseball park that was a former home of Mets and Dodgers farm clubs. It was demolished in 1970, the site turned into a storage yard.

“The loss of that facility really hurt us,” Bertka said. “It was the home of our youth baseball program. It wasn’t under the rules of Little League baseball. Our city-run baseball program was: Everybody plays. Show up and you get on a team. Even Pearl Chase opposed tearing down Laguna Park.” With the support of recreation commissioners Jerry Harwin and Caesar Uyesaka, Bertka said “three big things” were accomplished during his tenure: “One, the development of Shoreline Park. Two, they got the dump shut down, and Las Positas was dedicated to be a park in the future. Three, a joint use agreement between the City of S.B., City College, and the Harbor Commission for the use of facilities on the beach: Los Baños del Mar, La Playa Stadium, Pershing Park.” One of Bertka’s most fruitful ideas was to start a weekly press luncheon conducted by the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table, a nonprofit community sports organization founded by Harwin and Uyesaka. The first luncheon took place at Harry’s Plaza Café in September of 1970, and they still go on to this day. Bertka grew weary of seeing recreation getting short shrift from city leaders. “It was low man on the totem pole,” he said. “The biggest culprit of all [on the city council] was Gus Chavalas. He was a killer. I saw the handwriting on the wall, how they were treating recreation. I advocated nonprofit foundations. I said that’s the only way recreation’s going to survive. It’s interesting what’s transpired. All the sudden [Las Positas Park] is Elings Park, run by a foundation.” Bertka made a fast break from his city job to the National Basketball Association. The Lakers hired him as the first fulltime scout in league history. It was one of many milestones that he achieved in the sport of hoops, beginning in his Ohio hometown.

Why are two recently constructed high altitude ahu (shrines, altars) so threatening to the State of Hawai`i? Opening with this question, Johnson’s lecture will explore the ongoing dispute over the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). Based on his ethnographic research and experience as a witness in the trial, Johnson will discuss ways Hawaiian traditional and customary religious life has been catalyzed by the TMT dispute. Then Johnson will analyze legal frameworks for the protection of indigenous traditions in Hawai`i and describe various ways these frameworks have failed to discern tradition in this case. Johnson will conclude with reflections of categorical mismatches between the role and function of “religion” in the academy, indigenous communities, and the law. Johnson is Interim Director of the Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies and Associate Professor of Religious Studies, University of Colorado at Boulder.

MIDLAND: Bertka went into the U.S. Army out of high school and then had an opportunity to play basketball at Kent State University. He graduated with the ambition to coach. He wanted a head coaching job, and he learned there was an opening at Midland School in the Santa Ynez Valley. Without ever having set foot in California, he agreed over the phone to take the job at the start of the 1952-53 school year. “I drove Route 66 and then up the coast,” he said. “I stopped at a Santa Barbara coffee shop. Where is this school? Go over the pass to Los Olivos. I saw the valley. Holy cow, what a place. Everything was brown. Los Olivos was a flagpole, a post office, and a gas station.” Upon arriving at Midland, he found there was no gym — just a barn with dangling hoops — no uniforms, and nobody in its student body of 69 boys who played — Bill Bertka much basketball. Bertka frequently visited Santa Barbara — “I used to coast down from the pass to save gas” — and befriended Jim Campbell, owner of All-American Sporting Goods. He introduced Bill to Solveig Ogren, a Swedish beauty whose father was working on the Tecolote Tunnel through the mountains.

To me there’s no ‘greater feeling ...

than doing something meaningful. I haven’t set the world on fire, but I feel pretty good about my life.

’

HANCOCK: While coaxing the Mighty Oaks of Midland to learn the fundamentals of basketball, Bertka played some with the Golden Dukes, an Industrial League team in Santa Maria. In 1954, the city opened Allan Hancock College, and Bertka was hired as the school’s first basketball coach and athletic director. During his three years there, the Bulldogs put together a 41 game winning streak and won the state community college championship in 1957. Bertka went to the Midwest to recruit players. Solveig accompanied him on a recruiting trip in 1956. “We got married in Liberty, Indiana, before a justice of the peace,” Bertka said. “It’s been 62 years. The key is to be able to get along.” #sbindy #sceneinSB

AKRON: It’s the birthplace of LeBron James, the newest Laker, and Bertka, the oldest. He played on the Buchtel High team that won a city basketball championship in 1945. It was at the Akron YMCA that Bertka developed his love of the sport. “I don’t know what would have happened to my life without it,” he said. “We were a poor family. They had open gym that cost five cents. I’d go shoot baskets at the Y. There were grown-up players there. George Glamack [a two-time All-American from North Carolina] taught me the hook shot.” Bertka’s father worked “his whole life” for the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. “He dropped dead of a heart attack at 60” — which surely influenced Bill’s health concerns.

KENT STATE: Bertka’s alma mater, impressed by his work at Hancock, hired him to coach the Golden Flashes. “I had mediocre success playing the best teams,” he said. He couldn’t beat them in the recruiting game. “I had verbal interest from Bobby Knight and John Havlicek,” he said. “They

LOVE OF LIFE: Bertka met Swedish beauty Solveig Ogren in the 1950s when her dad was helping dig the Tecolote Tunnel. They married in 1956. “It’s been 62 years,” said Bertka. “The key is to be able to get along.”

were local high school kids. But they decided to go to Ohio State. I decided to leave after four years and start a new career. I told my wife we were going to go where we want to spend the rest of our lives, a place where people try to spend a vacation two weeks a year. Luckily, luckily, luckily, the Santa Barbara recreation job was open.” With their young daughters, Britt and Kris, the Bertkas moved west for good.

Welcome to the Pros THE LAKERS, PART ONE: During his years as recreation director, Bertka started a college basketball scouting service known as Bertka Views, employing a network of scouts around the country. (Solveig later took it over and ran the service until videos supplanted its use in 1991.) He did some scouting himself for the Lakers. Broadcaster Chick Hearn enjoyed calling him “Tonto.” That evolved into a career with the Lakers during which he would collect 10 NBA championship rings. The first was in 1972, when Bertka was assistant to Bill Sharman with a team that rattled off a 33-game winning streak, a professional sports record.

Those Lakers featured a high-scoring backcourt of Jerry West and Gail Goodrich. A player Bertka took a liking to was Pat Riley. “I always admired him,” Bertka said. “I said, ‘Pat, you are the most intense competitor I’ve ever seen. You aren’t getting much playing time, but you’re busting your ass in practice. I hold you as a great example of your profession.’” NEW ORLEANS: Sam Battistone, a Santa Barbara entrepreneur, was the initial owner of the New Orleans Jazz in 1974. He prevailed on Bertka, a good friend, to be the director of basketball operations for the new franchise. “That six years was a very tough period of time for me and my family,” said Bertka, who commuted across the country. “It was a great moment when Bill Sharman called me in 1981 and wanted me to come back to the Lakers.” The Jazz struggled on the court, as injuries hampered star player Pistol Pete Maravich. They made some deals that did not turn out well, including a trade that brought Gail Goodrich to New Orleans. The NBA determined that the Jazz should compensate the Lakers two years later with their first pick in the 1979 draft. That pick, the first overall, turned out to be Magic Johnson. “We didn’t plan on finishing last,” Bertka said, but it became his good fortune in L.A. that they did. THE LAKERS, PART TWO: In 1980, Pat Riley was pulled out of the announcer’s booth to be the Lakers’ assistant coach. The next year, he was named head coach and tapped Bertka, who had returned to the club after his New Orleans stint, as his top assistant, calling him “the administrator of all things.” “Bill took interest in me as a player, making sure I was in great shape,” recalled Riley, the president of the

MAGIC MEMORIES: “We had a hell of a run,” said Bertka of his time coaching Magic Johnson (pictured), James Worthy, Kurt Rambis, and other Lakers. “I still say that to this day, the Lakers of the ’80s were the best basketball team ever assembled.”

Miami Heat, in a phone interview. “I wanted to be the best-conditioned athlete. I won all the miles Sharman made us run. Bill and I would work out together. That’s why he’s 91.” Bertka quickly became a “really great mentor and resource,” said Riley, who didn’t have any head coaching experience. “It was just Bill and I at first. We talked about fast-break options. When it came to running, nobody was like us. We went to the Finals nine times in 12 years.” “We had a hell of a run,” Bertka said. “I still say that to this day the Lakers of the ’80s were the best basketball team ever assembled. They ran not for 20 minutes in a game, not for 30 minutes in a game; they ran and pushed the ball for 48 minutes in a game. That’s who the Lakers of the ’80s were. Not one guy running, not two guys running; all five guys ran. Defend, deflect, steal, rebound — every time we got possession, it was a fast-break opportunity.” “It wasn’t a random fast break,” Riley said. “Magic [Johnson] was the maestro. [Kurt] Rambis was our enforcer/rebounder. He was a great outlet passer. Get the ball to Magic in one second or two. Magic had the ball four seconds: basket.” Explained Bertka, “Somebody was flying up the floor to get the ball. Byron Scott, James Worthy, A.C. Green …. If nothing materialized on the first thrust up the floor, now here comes Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar].” “Everybody had a role,” Riley said. “Bill kept the chart with the result of every single possession. We had a real sophisticated statistical system to evaluate players on a plus-minus basis.” At Riley’s side, Bertka celebrated five NBA titles, highlighted by their taking down the nemesis Boston Celtics in 1985. He was more in the background as director of scouting when the Lakers won five more titles under Phil Jackson. All told, he has worked with 15 different head coaches in L.A. He filled in as an interim coach on three occasions. His record: 2-1.

Happy Home Life Britt Eyen, who is married to basketball coach Jim Eyen, now a scout for the Minnesota Timberwolves, was a teenager when her dad was going back and forth to New Orleans. “He looks back on it as being more difficult than I did,” she said. “He was a very big presence whether in the same house or miles away. My mother put in long hours when he was away. Nobody in our family shies away from hard work.” Besides his work ethic, Britt said her father’s biggest impact on her came from “watching the way he treats people. I’ve never seen him big-time somebody. He never fails to greet the people who work in the hotels he stays in or the workers who pick his avocados.” When he’s home at his avocado ranch on Campanil Hill, Bertka stays in shape by exercising in the backyard pool. He has gotten around town to see how the city recreational facilities are coming along under Jill Zachary, the director since 2015. He is gratified to see that an upgraded Pershing Park has become the home of the Santa Barbara Foresters, managed by Bill Pintard, who is married to his younger daughter, Kris. At the other end of the waterfront, Cabrillo Ballfield underwent a major facelift this year. “It’s beautiful,” Bertka said. “[Zachary] is doing some very interesting things. Now the Cabrillo Pavilion is being renovated. It’s a great concept. When you have existing facility, fix it up.” He goes to work three days a week for the Lakers. It’s his 38th consecutive season with the team. “Every once in a while, I do some work with guys on the floor, do some scouting, whatever they want,” he said. “To me there’s no greater feeling, especially at this stage of life, than doing something meaningful. I haven’t set the world on fire, but I feel pretty good about my life.” n

JOSEF WOODARD

istory hums along in Monterey, California, without really trying. It comes from the city’s legacy as the first capital of California, with distinctive architecture to call its own and many historic landmarks and California-centric “firsts.” Visitors looking for sights and sites beyond the world-famous aquarium can savor the relative antiquity of the state’s first Congress house, Colton Hall, where they “built a state from the ground up”; the state’s first theater; and the 1827-vintage Custom House, California Historical Landmark No. 1. There is something almost pilgrimage-like about popping up to Monterey, a doable 4.5hour drive from Santa Barbara. The history angle can be a special enticement for us, blessed and cursed as we are by relative youth, state-wise. This real estate is also the historic home of the Monterey Jazz Festival, which celebrated its 61st edition all over the Monterey County Fairgrounds a few weeks back — making it the oldest continuously running jazz festival in the known ONE COOL CAT: Santa Barbara legend Charles Lloyd on the sax world. Santa Barbara’s own jazz legend, saxist Charles Lloyd, made a Sunday-afternoon appearance several years ago). By now, Cannery Row is a slick and with his party band, the Marvels, on the very stage fairly soulless tourist magnet. When in the area, don’t where, in 1966, he recorded the ultimately million- miss the simple wooden structure that is Doc Ricketts’s selling album Forest Flower, which made him a star in Lab, aka Pacific Biological Laboratory, tucked into the touristy zone with a welcome, humble ambience. Here, both jazz and rock circles. Along with the festival’s abiding respect for jazz’s area intellectuals such as Ed Ricketts, Joseph Camppast — including tributes this year to late greats bell, Steinbeck, Henry Miller, and others convened by pianist Geri Allen, bassist Ray Brown, and tenor the Bay. Ironically, whereas the once-bustling sardine saxist Michael Brecker — it also keeps its finger on contemporary pulses. A “Year of the Woman” theme processing zone of Cannery Row overfished itself translated into roughly half its 2018 program going into obsolescence by the late ’40s, the Monterey Bay to women artists, including Tia Fuller, Ingrid Jensen, Aquarium — nestled in the former Hovden CanMary Halvorson, Jane Ira Bloom, and two vocalists nery — preaches the important gospel of sustainable who will have played Santa Barbara this season — seafood in many of its exhibits. For some of us, a visit to Monterey isn’t complete without stopping Norah Jones and Cécile McLorin Salvant. Nearby is the Sardine Factory, a kitschy-swanky for the hypnosis therapy of watching the circular eatery just above Cannery Row. John Steinbeck made glass tank where anchovies swim doggedly, as if Cannery Row immortal with his novel (and its sequel, in some silvery, fishy facsimile of a Berkeley swim Sweet Thursday, which entered jazz annals via Duke sequence, into history-blind perpetuity. —Josef Woodard Ellington’s “Suite Thursday,” performed at the festival

Education

he Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara (SFSB) is now accepting applications for the 2019-2020 academic year. Touted as the “nation’s largest community-based provider of college scholarships,” the SFSB has awarded upward of $108 million to more than 50,000 students since the organization was formed in 1962. While significant amounts of funds are granted, competition is tough — last year more than 3,400 people signed up. “Not all applicants will receive aid,” reminded Tosha Lewis, director of programs and evaluation. “Last year we turned away 640 eligible applicants,” Lewis said, so be sure to fill out the forms ASAP. Scholarship Foundation due dates are as follows:

November 15: Applications due for South County Art Scholarship and South County Honors Scholarship. January 15: Applications due for General Scholarship and Employer-Sponsored Scholarship.

Book Review

BOYHOOD: Doyle Hollister sits atop his horse, Tico.

I Only Went Out for a Walk

n 1980, 15 years after he’d left as a teenager, Doyle Hollister returned home and walked across a steep coastal bluff west of Gaviota. His life changed in that moment, as he watched a blue-winged teal fly over the slough at the mouth of Santa Anita Canyon. As a boy, he’d hunted ducks around the same estuary on his family’s renowned ranch. Hollister’s new, deeply personal memoir, I Only Went Out for a Walk: Finding My Wilderness Soul on a California Ranch, describes the transformative power of a connection with the land, especially during one’s youth. Some of the best parts of this short book are Hollister’s evocative descriptions of a boy’s intimacy with rural solitude — frenzied joyrides clutching high, wind-whipped eucalyptus branches; gusts of shin-stinging beach sand; dark, moonless nights; unexpected thunderstorms; hunting crossbred deer on the San Julian ridge; and the classic western symphony of cow, cowboy, terrain, and Tico, Hollister’s horse. As a man in his thirties, Hollister’s walk over his boyhood hunting fields stirred in him feelings of loss and grief — awakening long-dormant wounds arising out of an abrupt teenage separation from what he describes as his wilderness ranch soul. The concluding sections of the book describe Hollister’s psychological journey of reconnection. He chronicles feelings of anger; an immersion into silence; mentoring from his aunt and uncle, Jane Hollister and Joseph Wheelwright; and a reunification with his past. Hollister’s journal illuminates regional and global patterns and challenges. As he explains, “The memoir is about what happens to us as humans if we disconnect from the wilderness. If we don’t pay attention to the wild and reconnect to it from our self-exiling unconsciousness, if we don’t reconnect our interior nature to our physical nature, our planet, we’re terminal.” Hollister lives today in a mountaintop perch overlooking Point Conception, Southern California’s wildest corner, on rugged land where his family has lived and worked for 150 years. He has keen vision both outward and inward, and the reader is fortunate to share his walk. —Eric Hvolboll

SCARE AND SATISFY

YOUR TASTE BUDS WITH THESE CANDIES

Gentle Sour Patch Kids: A legend of the candy world, Sour

Patch Kids are a delectable, soft treat steeped in childhood nostalgia and sprinkled with charmingly chunky sugar crystals. They possess the near-perfect balance of sweet and sour that many confectionaries have tried but failed to emulate. They’re so good, a bag at the movies tends to disappear before the previews end. Don’t mess with success. (9.5) Sour Punch Straws: Another classic from the bygone

days of bike rides to the corner store, Sour Punch Straws aren’t super-sour, but they more than make up for their mildness with a juicy flavor and satisfyingly tough texture. Take small bites down the length, or just wad the whole thing into your mouth. We picked the watermelon flavor for this review but prefer apple. Used as an actual straw, the strawberry pairs nicely with a sipped can of vintage Sierra Mist. (8) Jelly Belly Sours: Your mom’s jelly beans these ain’t. Fluorescently colored and fulfillingly tart, Jelly Belly Sours can and should be consumed by the handful. Each flavor profile — apple, cherry, grape, lemon, and orange — pops with a proud individualism, a rarity among the usually homogenous tastes of cornsyrup-based candies. As pleasant as these are, we wish they had a little more oomph. (6.5)

Mamba Sour: Regular Mambas are the overlooked

cousins of Starburst — individually wrapped chews with that distinctive and satisfying waxen bite. Mamba’s sour line attempts to capture their original magic and add a layer of acidity, but tragically falls short on both counts. We were left with flavors so artificial they were almost metallic and a firmer density that hurt our jaws and made us drool. No thanks. (3) Sour Smog Balls: Run away. Far away. This abomina-

tion seemed promising — made as it was by the creators of Toxic Waste, which we’ll get to later — but it’s a disaster on every possible level. The crunchy outer shell is sharp, brittle, and seemingly stale, while the goopy innards sit like a puddle of dumpster water on the tongue. Every flavor is worse than the last, all of them leaving the victim with an aftertaste like the smell of plastic in the microwave. We’re not mad, just disappointed. Okay, we’re a little mad too. (-10)

Extreme Super Lemon: This was a real find for us. Nobel brand Super Lemon is a major hit in Japan, where it’s made, but can be tough to track down in the States. We got ours at Rocket Fizz on State Street. The candy is a heavenly sphere dusted with a super-sour coating that awakens all five senses and then lulls the taste buds into

standing. A year ago, the professional musicians — California natives who met and lived for many years in New York City before moving to town in 2015 — started Epicurean Santa Barbara as a culinary social club that they hoped would catch on. Since their launch party at Sullivan Goss last November, the indefatigable dining and wining duo have thrown 50 events — yeah, that’s almost one a week — and attracted more than 160 dues-paying members. “I thought we’d be doing fun events, and educating people, and serving great food and wine, but the personal connections that people have made with the artisans and with one another have been beyond what I could have expected,” said Amy. “That’s been the most rewarding part.” The events range widely in style, scope, and cost, from all-you-caneat Nook burgers and many bottles of southern France wine at Laplace for $38 (attended by nearly 60 people) to vinFeatures Food, Wine, tage Bordeaux dinners with Song, Dance, and More a five-course menu for $175 at Hotel Californian (just 14 attendees). There are chef demos at private homes, BY MATT KETTMANN visits to new restaurants, open houses at wineries, and plenty of out-of-town winemakers coming to share their wares with the club. “They’re investing back into the community,” said Keith of how the members become regulars at the places that Epicurean shared. “Now they go to Bibi Ji; they go to Blackbird. They talk about chefs and winemakers by name, like, ‘I just saw Drew [Terp] from Pico,’ or ‘I went to see Bret [Urness] at Levo [Wines, in Paso Robles].” Little did they know that their nonprofit club might become a player in reviving the downtown scene. “We want to make Santa Barbara better,” said Amy. “Everyone talks about the state of State Street, the lack of businesses. We’re trying to help those people in whatever way we can, bringing them clientele, making personal connections. In a small town, those things really matter.” To celebrate, Epicurean S.B. is hosting Pure Imagination, a meticulously plotted gala event for members (and perhaps other interested folks) on November 4 at the Hotel Californian. “It’s a major undertaking,” said Keith. “In a very basic sense, it’s the culmination

Warheads: The granddaddy of high-

octane sours with the appropriately self-important brand tagline: “Spreading sour as a force of good.” These things hit the mouth with the power of a high-speed sports car. They sting and scream across the palate before slamming into the cheeks and jawbone. We love it, though we’re not sure why. People who’ve eaten too many in a row have actually burned holes in their tongues. So be careful, and stick to the hard candies. Warheads also make chews, liquids, and sprays. They’re all pretty gross. (9)

creeping up to a crescendo before gliding back down to a more tolerable volume. But don’t let your guard down — the inner core also packs a wallop. (8.5)

Toxic Waste: On par with Warheads, Toxic Waste tips the sour scale way into the red. They come in a nifty barrel-shaped container oozing with neon sludge that asks how long you can stand the pain—15 seconds? “Total Wuss!” Thirty seconds? “Cry Baby!” An entire glorious minute? “FULL TOXIE HEAD!” The disc-shaped hard candy has a slower sour release than Warheads,

Cry Baby Tears: If you’re a novice to the sport of extreme souring, Cry Baby Tears are the perfect stepping stool to the big leagues. They’re of the chalky candy variety that hums with a consistent level of sour accentuated by some nicely balanced fruit flavors. If you’re not a chalky person, however, steer clear. We had a couple people spit ’em n right out. (6.5)

of everything that we’re trying to stand for as a club. It incorporates the culinary arts. It incorporates the performing arts. It has beer, wine, and spirits.” The event begins with a sunset festival, featuring a handful of wineries, Night Lizard Brewing Company, Cutler’s Artisan Spirits, and two chefs doing demos, such as Robert Perez of Black Sheep showing how to slice hamachi crudo. Then comes a multicourse dinner with award-show-style tributes to the featured chefs, winemakers, and even boardmembers. Throughout, there will be uplifting musical performances by six different musicians; three are being flown in from New York (one is taking a break from Broadway to attend), one is from Los Angeles, and two are Santa Barbarans. “There will be a performance aspect that people don’t really expect,” said Amy. “It’s an immersive, innovative, progressive, and celebratory evening. We’ll reflect on what the club has done and what we’re going to do for 2019.”

CLICK CUISINE: A new online-ordering, take-out pizza place is coming to Goleta.

eader Cris spotted a coming-soon sign for a pair of businesses at 5756 Calle Real, the former home of Papa John’s. The sign on the window, next door to Los Arroyos, reads The Online Pizza Company and Woody’s Boba Drinks. “Our goal at Pizza Online Company (‘POCO’) is to change the pizza industry,” says the website pizzaonlinecompany.com, “offering fresh, homemade, from scratch, pizza at the right price, and most important, the way you want ready and hot in 15 minutes!” There is no dine-in option, no orders over the phone, and no deliveries. By saving money on labor, they can offer lower prices to customers. A medium pizza with two toppings costs $6 with extra toppings costing $0.75 each. A large pizza with two toppings costs $8 plus $1 for each additional topping. The price for an extra-large pizza is $10/$1.25. The Woody’s Boba Drinks business offers slushies, smoothies, and “snow bubbles” for $4 to $6. I have not heard yet when they open but I’ll try to be the first to let you know.

PIZZA WERK ON WESTSIDE: Last August, reader Ever-

ett let me know that local institution Paesano’s Pizzeria, a family-owned and operated restaurant on Santa Barbara’s Westside since 1995, had closed. I wrote that the business, located at 1429 San Andres Street, is under new ownership and said that it will be replaced by a vegan pizzeria. Reader John recently confirmed the rumor and tells me that the restaurant will be named Pizza Werk. Pizza Werk’s Instagram page describes the business as “Santa Barbara’s first & only ALL VEGAN Italian concept coming to the west side. Planning to open doors in the winter of 2018.” PIZZA MIZZA IS NOW MIZZA PIZZA: Pizza Mizza res-

taurant in La Cumbre Plaza closed permanently today. The website and phone now forwards to a new, similar business name Mizza Pizza (order

reversed) that offers delivery only or pickup at 1112 State Street. Call 564-3900 or visit pizza mizza.com. NEW MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN GOLETA: Readers

Brendan and Cris let me know that El Pollo Rico at 5698 Hollister Avenue in Old Town Goleta has apparently changed ownership and is now known as La Guerrerita. Call 964-3136. THANKSGIVING UPDATES: On November 22, Finch

& Fork will be offering a three-course menu by Chef Peter Cham, including Tuscan kale and apricot salad; Mary’s Free-Range Turkey Breast with garlic-whipped potatoes, sourdough and turkey sausage stuffing, glazed root vegetables, herb gravy, and cranberry compote; and Channel Islands White Sea Bass with delicata squash, king trumpet mushrooms, and frond-pepita pesto. Seasonally themed desserts, such as Pumpkin Mousse and Fall Bread Pudding, round out the meal. Dinner is $90 per person for adults and $35 for children 10 and under. Miguel Flores at Moby Dick Restaurant on Stearns Wharf will be serving their traditional turkey dinner on Thanksgiving, 11 a.m.- 9 p.m., as they have for 40 years. The special menu includes roasted turkey breast, mashed yams, cranberry stuffing, turkey gravy, cranberry sauce, sautéed green beans, soup or salad, and a slice of pumpkin cheesecake. Price is $29.99 per person. Mitchell Sjerven, proprietor of bouchon Santa Barbara at 9 West Victoria Street, let me know that his restaurant is already sold out for Thanksgiving. “This will be our 21st (!) and we have many wonderful guests who return year after year so it sells out earlier each year,” he said. And owner Paul Dargan said that Dargan’s will be open on Thanksgiving, 11:30 a.m.-9 p.m., serving a traditional turkey dinner and their normal full menu. “By the way,” said Dargan, “we are 21 years old this weekend, and hence Dargan’s can legally drink!”

There are two rare chances for Santa Barbarans to try Ridge: On Thursday, November 1, at Belmond El Encanto, the 2006 Monte Bello will be served alongside the chard, two zins, and two more estate wines, paired with pumpkin velouté, quail, venison, and a serious cheese course.

ocated 2,600 feet above San Jose in the Santa Cruz Mountains on a property that was first developed for winemaking more than 130 years ago, Ridge Vineyards is in the running for most iconic winery in the Western Hemisphere. The postProhibition legend starts in the 1940s and surges in 1976, when Ridge is one of the California wineries that shocks the world by beating French wines in the Judgement of Paris. Today, it is a benchmark for both California zinfandel from around the state —the winery sources from 14 vineyards, most notably Geyserville and Lytton Springs—and for its flagship Bordeaux blend Monte Bello, which comes from those mountaintop vines. (The Monte Bello chardonnay is pretty epic as well.) I visited the property in July 2017, when winemaker Eric Baugher, who joined the team in 1994, took me on a tour through the cellar and the surrounding vines. “None of the winemakers at Ridge have ever had academic experience,” said Baugher, who learned from the recently retired Paul Draper, head winemaker from 1971 to 2016. The current owners, a Japanese pharmaceuticals group that took over in 1986, are essentially silent. “For them, the ownership of Ridge has been like a piece of art,” said Baugher. There’s a hallowed vibe to the place, and that connection to the past

‘THRILLER’ AT THE COURTHOUSE

raised money for proj-ects in Nepal, Kenya, Guatemala, Nigeria, Uganda, Ghana, and Liberia. Since 2013, it has focused on Rwanda. The organization began by using the money raised from classes to purchase goats and cows for Rwandan communities. Now they provide education, training, and funding for businesses that enable people to lift themselves out of poverty. They also support education by sponsoring 200 young people to go to high school and college. Money raised from Thrill the World comes from event sponsorships and a $40 donation (also on a sliding scale) from participants. The goal for the 2018 event is $40,000, 100 percent of which will go to the WD4H Rwanda Education Fund and the Westside Boys and Girls Club, where WD4H volunteers work throughout the year with at-risk youth. There’s still time to be part of Thrill the World! WD4H is offering 10 practices a week in Ojai, Montecito, Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, and Lompoc. The entire dance is taught at each session. There’s also a tutorial video on the WD4H website so aspiring zombies can practice at home. “It’s not about learning the dance perfectly,” said Reineck. “It’s about bringing your spirit to the occasion, letting go, giving yourself over to this exciting community experience.” For information about World Dance classes and the “Thriller” event, see world danceforhumanity.org. — Maggie Yates

WORLD DANCE FOR HUMANITY PRESENTS ICONIC PERFORMANCE

FRITZ OLENBERGER

ampy ghost-story lyrics and iconic dance moves have made Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” a staple of the Halloween season. In the 35 years since the song hit the air, “Thriller” has gained worldwide popularity, inspiring events such as Thrill the World, in which communities across the globe gather to concurrently perform the “Thriller” routine to raise money for charity. “We’re anticipating 300 dancers at the Sunken Gardens [this year],” said Janet Reineck, who organizes Santa Barbara’s Thrill the World event through her area nonprofit, World Dance for Humanity (WD4H). “There’s nothing on planet Earth like it!” Reineck is the founder and executive director of WD4H, an area organization she started in 2010 that provides education and desperately needed resources to populations recovering from the Rwandan genocide. WD4H offers dance classes five days a week on a sliding price scale, with 100 percent of proceeds supporting the organization’s efforts in Africa. For the last eight years, people of all ages and experience levels have learned the “Thriller” dance routine in preparation for the annual Thrill the World. When the zombies perform on Saturday, October 27, at 3 p.m. in the Courthouse Sunken Gardens, their undead merrymaking will be simultaneous with “Thriller” groups throughout our hemisphere. “It’s a transcendent experience,” said Reineck, “dressing up as an otherworldly being and dancing in sync with 300 people here, and

with people all over the world. It’s a chance to connect with the world in an intimate and soulful way.” Expect to see impromptu “Thriller” jams up and down State Street, at the harbor, at the popular Boo at the Zoo, and along “Ghost” Village Road in Montecito. On Sunday, October 28, the zombies head to Santa Ynez for performances in the Los Olivos town square, select wineries, and Cold Spring Tavern. The experience culminates in front of the Neverland Ranch. “You can think whatever you want about Michael Jackson, but he cared deeply about the world and wanted to share his music with everyone,” said Reineck. “It’s a magical setting. We always take a moment of silence to feel the spirit of that very special place. The wind comes up in the oak trees — it’s a beautiful time together.” World Dance for Humanity began as a place for women to exercise and express themselves through dance in a safe, supportive environment. True to its motto, “dance locally, act globally,” WD4H has

With the appointment of Abaseh Mirvali as chief executive officer, head curator, and executive director, the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara has taken a major step toward realizing its plans to build a new museum in the Funk Zone. Mirvali comes to Santa Barbara with an international reputation for innovative curatorial projects and extensive experience in fundraising for and running large institutions. Although she has focused on independent curation over the past decade, Mirvali was the CEO, executive director, and comisaria of the Biennial of the Americas in Denver in 2013, and served as the executive director of the Colección Jumex and the Fundación Jumex Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City from 2005 to 2008.

COURTESY

ABASEH MIRVALI TO HEAD MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART In addition to her prolific activities as a curator, Mirvali has a background in diplomacy that could prove helpful in navigating the complex processes required to construct a significant new building on the Santa Barbara waterfront. She served as senior advisor to the U.S. advisor for culture and education in Mexico early in her career and cites her familiarity with capital campaigns and fundraising as a core competency she brings to the role. MCASB Board President Jacquelyn Klein-Brown praises Mirvali as a “visionary leader and curator whose deep expertise and incredible relationships with artists and institutions around the world will prove invaluable to MCASB.” —Charles Donelan

“The Matchbox”

ARTIST

TONY ASKEW

You don’t see many yellow cabs in Santa Barbara, but thanks to Looking Back/ Going Forward, the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum’s current exhibition of the art of Tony Askew, there’s at least one place in town where you are guaranteed to catch one. Askew, a talented artist and celebrated teacher, collects toy yellow cabs in all shapes and sizes, from classic Checkers to one-off yellow Volkswagen Beetles. The presence of these miniature vehicles alongside his work implies something central to the man’s aesthetic. “I’m free,” they seem to say to the viewer’s imagination. “Where to?” The answer offered by the more than 70 original artworks on display in this tour de force of a show would seem to be many places. Askew stepped away from representational art early in his career, but he never lost his feeling for place. Already an adept printer, Askew discovered the monotype in the 1980s in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and it has been a mainstay of his practice ever since. The current show features more than a dozen viscosity monotypes all produced within the last decade. As if painting and printmaking were not enough, there are his oeuvres in assemblage and collage. Askew’s assemblages sing in the rousing tones of an American original — they occupy the territory where downhome pop culture meets sophisticated improvisation. So, what location is it that inspires Askew’s boxes and collages? The answer is the great American roadside, and that’s where those shiny taxis come back in. Like his beloved yellow cabs, Askew’s collages revel in sharp contrasts and the street poetry of printed numbers and letters. The show’s most memorable single work is the giant grid of 42 square collages called “Keep a Watchful Eye” that the artist produced in 2018. It repays attention like a symphony, draws you in like a classic black-and-white movie, and takes you away like a romantic late-night taxi ride in the rain. Looking Back/ Going Forward: R. Anthony Askew runs through November 17 at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. For the full review, see independent .com/Askew. — CD

SPOOKY GOOD STUFF ON (AND OFF) STATE by Richie DeMaria BOO BASHES: Dearest spooks, ghouls, ghosts, creeps, and freaks—’tis the season for monster mashing of various kinds. While All Hallows’ Eve falls midweek this year, on a Wednesday, this coming weekend features enough scary-good shows on and off the street of State that you shall have multiple occasions to wear your graveyard finest. At SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.), on Friday, October 26, Gene Evaro Jr., from Joshua Tree, headlines a Halloween bash with Boostive, from Santa Cruz via San Diego. Evaro and band will whip up a superfunky, stylish blend of melody and rhythm, while Boostive will mash up dub and roots music, soul and funk. Thematically, one of its newest works, “Boo-Wop,” features celebrating skeletons as cover art. The dead are known to rise to dance around this time of year, and this Halloween bash is sure to make many a corpse rise. Come dressed in costume. The show begins at 9 p.m. NOCHE DE TERROR: Another excellent Halloween party this weekend comes when the many-member sensation Banda La Invasora headlines a Noche de Terror at Velvet Jones (423 State St.) with area acts La Sonora Explosiva, Linea Privada, DJ Oscar, and DJ Raton. Banda La Invasora, from S.B., plays traditional, Sinaloa-style banda music, with a big, exuberant sound that shall widen the smiles of all local jack-o’-lanterns. Come dressed in costume. The show begins at 8 p.m. HOW DEAP IS YOUR VALLY: Earlier in the week at Velvet Jones, the glammedout garage-rock two-piece Deap Vally will deliver delicious distortion aplenty on Thursday, October 25. Comprising Lindsey Troy (guitar, vocals) and Julie Edwards (drums, vocals), the powerful duo drives forward with more blues-rock energy than acts two to four times its size. Expect, variously, your face to melt and your ears to ring out, in all the best ways. Joining Deap Vally will be L.A.’s The Paranoyds, who will set the night’s fuse with rumbling rockness. The show begins at 7 p.m. HOWL AT THE MIRROR: The Mercury Lounge (5871 Hollister Ave., Goleta) offers a double whammy on Friday, October 26, with S.B.’s very own psychedelic Mirror Mind and L.A.’s The Howling Faith. Mirror Mind shall reflect back at you your inner dreamer, visionary, or most tranced-out rocker self through its hard-driving, psychedelic, ’60s-’70s influenced music. Relative newcomers on the scene, the band describes its music as a “a deep, trancelike journey through the hard-rock sphere … leading … down … the rabbit hole …” The well-placed ellipses fill you in on the thrills on offer. The Howling Faith, meanwhile, translates the barren shine of a desertscape into its rhythmic alt-country rock. Citing ’60s instrumentalists like Duane Eddy and Dick Dale along with contemporaries like Calexico as influences, the band has the barbed-wire-y, sparse twang of a desertdwelling kind of soul, L.A. style. The show begins at 9 p.m.

Days before the clocks fall back, you can fall back into the relaxing, stimulating, hypnotizing grooves of Toro y Moi, led by singer/producer Chaz Bear. Since its chillwave beginnings, the band has developed a funkier sound and definitely provides the n good times when it hits the stage. The show begins at 9 p.m.

Although their latest album, Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, which dropped last May, introduced a more pianoheavy, psychedelic-pop harmony to the U.K. band’s repertoire, their Bowl appearance made it clear that they have not abandoned their classic garage-rock sound. Peppered throughout At the Bowl, the set were old favorites Fri., Oct. 19 like “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” and “Crying Lightning,” which had the audience headbanging and moshing in the pit. Turner quickly followed the opening song, “Star Treatment,” with the band’s Grammy-nominated hit, “Do I Wanna Know?” from 2013’s AM. In addition to songs being sprinkled throughout their set, the band’s three song-encore came entirely from AM, ending the night with the & ENTERTAINMENT notable electric guitar strum of “R U Mine?”

Jones’s book contains lists of many canine destinations, and the author has amassed a lot of experience and research. At the end of the book, Jones lists Bodie’s travel essentials and “Tips for Dining Out with Your Dog.” Relationships come in many forms and Jones and Bodie have become the closest of companions.

The Monkeys drifted with ease through their eclectic set list, transitioning seamlessly from bangers such as “Brainstorm” to the sway-inducing title song, “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.” The lineup’s juxtaposition made high-intensity songs hit harder while tunes from the more musically mild Tranquility Base sounded more delicate. Turner didn’t say much but rather engaged the crowd with his actions, which included running around the stage, holding a classic Elvis stance, and lying on the stage floor. He’d also traded in his usual black jacket and slicked-back hair for a shaved head and an all-beige suit, making him look more like a casino hotshot than an English grunge-rock star. The mix of hits from older and newer albums kept longtime and new fans singing and swaying along. Sure, Turner once dreamt of being in the Strokes, but the music he’s released over the years shows that he’s taken his early Stroke-esque sound and developed it into something entirely his own. — Ava Tahlakimi

songs move the plot forward; her asides take you by (pleasant) surprise; and her reactions, in the big moments, brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience. Autism, truly one of the 21st century’s most complex social and health issues, is mapped here with an almost uncanny precision and emotional detail. We see the expressions and hear the voices of people affected by it in any number of ways, and no single perspective is ultimately privileged over any of the others. When Torsiglieri’s real-life ASD son’s voice is finally heard as part of the show’s soundtrack, the impact is overwhelming. An unusual circumstance suddenly becomes a universal sense of recognition, the acknowledgement that we are all equal in the shadow of fate and in our access to the joys of the moment. — Charles Donelan

Not to be confused with his short story of the same name, the film The Happy Prince is neither about a fictional royal nor a particular “happy” tale, but rather the story of celebrated author and playwright Oscar Wilde. The Dublin-born Wilde (1854-1900) is depicted in all his eloquent quippery and societal scandalmaking — he was a homosexual in an era when such a predisposition was criminal. Veteran British actor Rupert Everett is a triple threat here, as writer, director, and star of the biopic (with Colin Firth and Emily Watson also in the cast) that mostly dwells on Wilde’s travails leading up to and after his two years of hard labor for “gross inde-

First Man, the new Neil Armstrong biopic starring Ryan Gosling, opens with him falling up. Armstrong is testing a new high-altitude rocket plane when his controls freeze and he starts bouncing off the atmosphere into the inky blackness of space. The scene is one of a handful in the film that captures, perhaps better than any other astronaut flick, the heart-skipping unpredictability and spine-rattling ferocity of spaceflight. But we can watch Gosling’s face (as pretty as it might be) shake and grimace for only so long before the trick gets old, which is exactly what happens by the final scene, a sweeping crescendo of light and moonscape that should have stirred but instead just sputters. Still, the film succeeds on enough other fronts to make the trip worthwhile — Gosling’s Arm-

public trauma. Amandla Stenberg gives a heart-wrenching performance as Starr Carter, the film’s principal character, as she transforms from tragic witness into political force. Starr is the only witness to the shooting of her lifelong friend Khalil (Algee Smith). Starr’s suspended trauma and her eventual reckoning with her political responsibility come into relief against the backdrop of her double-identity; Starr lives in a predominately African-American community, but she attends a school in a more affluent, mainly white neighborhood nearby. With allusions to Harry Potter and the casting choice of Stenberg (The Hunger Games) as Starr, there may be a danger that the film risks mythologizing Black Power as a conventional YA superpower rather than the historical force that it is. But, ultimately, it’s clear that Starr’s power isn’t magic. Starr’s inner strength and her growing political awareness are what allow her to speak so effectively as a representative of Khalil, of her personal trauma, and of her people. (KCM)

Fairview/Fiesta 5

(106 mins., R)

Halloween is a landmark in modern horror sequels. Contemporary horror movies often lose themselves with jump-scare tactics, forgoing a bonechilling narrative that will keep viewers on the edge of their seat. Halloween avoids that pitfall by doing away with the parody tropes that plague faulty sequels and instead introduces compelling characters who are dealing with paranoia and post-traumatic stress disorder. It’s been 40 years since the infamous serial killer, Michael Myers, who is now incarcerated, stalked Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), but she has spent her life preparing for his return, raising her daughter, Karen (Judy Greer), as a survivalist in a fortified home. Myers escapes during a prison bus crash and searches out Strode, the only survivor of his 1978 killing spree. Some sequences are laughable due to their predictability; some are laugh-out-loud funny thanks to screenwriter Danny McBride. But much of the film induces dread as Myers approaches his potential kills. Ultimately, director David Gordon Green provides a sense of closure between Strode and Myers. (JR)

This crime comedy tells the true story of Forrest Tucker (Robert Redford), a career criminal who at age 70 escaped from San Quentin prison and went on a spree of heists that baffled authorities. Casey Affleck, Sissy Spacek, and Elisabeth Moss also star. Paseo Nuevo

➤ O The Sisters Brothers (121 mins., R)

Based on Patrick deWitt’s novel of the same name, The Sisters Brothers blends elements of an 1850s period film, namely hazard-laden brothels and violent gunslinging, with an introspective look into machoism, all highlighted by a superb score courtesy of Alexandre Desplat. Operating under instruction of a mysterious kingpin, the story follows

two assassins, ruffian drunk Charlie Sisters (Joaquin Phoenix) and his more uneasy brother, Eli (John C. Reilly), as they search for Hermann Kermit Warm, a scientist inventing novel technologies to find gold in the height of the California gold rush. Meanwhile, the fugitive chemist (Riz Ahmed) finds solace in detective John Morris. Morris, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, provides the film with a much-desired softness (and yet another of Gyllenhaal’s intriguing accents). Though susceptible to the weariness of endless bloodshed, French filmmaker Jacques Audiard’s English debut boasts sharp-tongued dialogue and a humanist approach to men’s psyches, whether they be the hunter or the hunted. The Sisters Brothers indulges in all the usual tropes of the western but saves itself with sincere, almost sweet, moments of Fiesta 5 brotherhood and heart. (JK)

Bradley Cooper marks his directing debut with an ode to the 1937 romantic melodrama A Star Is Born, famously remade in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason and again in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. Cooper plays famous countryrock musician Jackson Maine, whose drunken search for more alcohol leads him to a drag bar where he stumbles into Ally (Lady Gaga), an unknown singer who Jackson then mentors. Soon, Ally and Jackson enter into a romantic relationship that is often overshadowed by Jackson’s alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. As Ally takes on her self-doubt and fear of performing in front of Jackson’s sold-out crowds, she makes sacrifices in her own burgeoning career for love and authenticity. Cooper and Lady Gaga depict the rawness and erosion of their relationship so well that both actors are receiving Oscar buzz. (JR) Camino Real/The Hitchcock/ Paseo Nuevo

Gorgonian Corals: Sentinels of Deep-Sea Habitat Changes Along the West Coast Beth Horvath, Associate Professor of Biology

5:30 p.m., Thursday, November 8, 2018 University Club, 1332 Santa Barbara Street Free and open to the public. For information, call 565-6051. Gorgonian corals (sea fans) are soft corals (not calcium carbonate reef-building corals) that play significant roles in the three-dimensional habitat diversity of the deep sea, such as the Santa Barbara Channel. At the talk, you can learn about these corals through words and beautiful photographs, how researchers identify them, and what role they play in the healthy biodiversity of deep-water habitats. Noticeable changes occurring in the physical features of the deep-water marine ecosystem can affect them, so NOAA will spend the next several years exploring off the California, Oregon and Washington coasts, using high-tech equipment to look for them. Professor Horvath will work with NOAA on the project.

OCTOBER’S BOUNTY OF BOUNCING BALLS Football, Baseball, Soccer, Volleyball, and Even Basketball in Full Swing This Month

PAUL WELLMAN FILE PHOTO

or an avid sports fan, there is no better time of the year than October. There’s playoff baseball, football in full swing, and now, thanks to the NBA moving up its regular season by two weeks, even meaningful basketball before Halloween. Keeping up with all your favorite teams has never been so time-consuming. The Los Angeles sports scene experienced a 100-year flood of excitement last week when the Dodgers clinched a World Series berth by virtue of a 5-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 7 of the NLCS and LeBron James made his Staples Center debut against the Houston Rockets. Both the Dodgers and the Lakers have given their fans hope that they can recapture the mystique of yesteryear. GAMBERDELLA INJURED: Santa Barbara High three-year starting quarterback Frankie Gamberdella suffered a broken

collarbone in a game against Cabrillo of Lompoc last Thursday and will be out for the remainder of the season. Gamberdella is the Dons’ leading passer and rusher and has also made an impact on defense from the safety position. The 63 sophomore Deacon Hill will take over as the full-time starter at quarterback after making several relief appearances this season. Gamberdella is one of the premier athletes in the area. He also played varsity baseball and basketball last season. finishers in the six-team Channel League receive automatic playoff berths. Lompoc (7-2 overall, 4-0 Channel League) has clinched first place. Dos Pueblos (6-3 overall, 3-1 Channel League) punched their ticket to the playoffs after clinching at least a share of second place with a 35-28 victory over Santa Ynez last week. Santa Barbara (5-4 overall, 2-2 Channel League) can clinch a spot in the playoffs with a victory over Dos Pueblos in the final game of the regular season tonight at Warkentin Stadium. If Santa Barbara defeats Dos Pueblos and Santa Ynez defeats San Marcos in the final week of the regular season, there will be a three-way tie for second place in the Channel League, but Dos Pueblos and Santa Barbara will receive the two automatic playoff berths due to a predetermined tiebreaker that took place at the beginning of the season. Bishop Diego (3-6 overall, 0-3 Camino League) and Carpinteria (5-4 overall, 2-3 Citrus Coast League) need victories to improve their chances of receiving at-large berths into the playoffs.

JOHN ZANT’S GAME OF THE WEEK 10/27: College Men’s Soccer: Cal Poly at UCSB The Blue-Green Rivalry turned green on September 30, when Cal Poly blanked the visiting Gauchos 1-0 before a capacity crowd of 11,075 at Spanos Stadium. The Gauchos have a chance to respond in kind Saturday night on their home pitch, where they are 8-0 this season. They unleashed their best offensive showing in a month last Saturday, scoring three second-half goals in a 3-0 victory over Cal State Northridge. UCSB sits in third place in the Big West standings and needs a win to possibly move up to second and gain a first-round bye in the upcoming conference tournament. Although in last place, Cal Poly’s Mustangs are dangerous, as they showed by taking first-place UC Irvine into overtime before losing 3-2 last week. 5pm. Harder Stadium. $9-$14.

They work hard, they like each other, and they listen to what we have to say,” said Cate coach Ben Soto. “We hope the best is yet to come.”

HOME SWEET HARDER: On the soccer front, the Gau-

chos improved to 8-0 at Harder Stadium this season with a 3-0 victory over Cal State Northridge last Saturday. UCSB (9-6-1, 3-2-1 BWC) is currently in third place in the Big West two points back of second-place UC Riverside and three points behind first-place UC Irvine. The top two teams in the Big West receive a first round bye in the Big West tournament and will host a semifinal match. A pivotal match at home against Cal Poly on Saturday, at 5 p.m., will go a long way toward deciding the Gauchos’ fate. Looming in the distance is the 2018 College Cup, which will be at Harder Stadium this season. The national semifinals will be on Friday, December 7, and the National Championship game is on Sunday, December 9. GIRLS’ VOLLEYBALL PLAYOFFS: The Santa Barbara High

CANCER

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In her poem “Shedding Skin,” Harryette

(June 21-July 22): The great Swedish filmmaker Ingmar

Mullen compares her own transformation to the action a snake periodically carries out to renew itself. Since you now have an excellent opportunity to undertake your own molting process, you may find her thoughts helpful. (I’ve rendered them in prose for easier reading.) “Pulling out of the old scarred skin — old rough thing I don’t need now — I strip off, slip out of, leave behind. Shedding toughness, peeling layers down to vulnerable stuff. And I’m blinking off old eyelids for a new way of seeing. By the rock I rub against, I’m going to be tender again.” Halloween costume suggestion: snake sloughing its skin.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): “Only the young and stupid are confi-

dent about sex and romance,” says 49-year-old author Elizabeth Gilbert, who has written extensively about those subjects. I agree with her. I’ve devoted myself to studying the mysteries of love for many years yet still feel like a rookie. Even if you are smarter about these matters than Gilbert and me, Taurus, I urge you to adopt a humble and curious attitude during the next few weeks. The cosmos has prepared some interesting lessons for you, and the best way to take advantage is to be eagerly receptive and open-minded. Halloween costume suggestion: sex researcher, love explorer, intimacy experimenter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “My way of learning is to heave a wild and unpredictable monkey-wrench into the machinery,” wrote Gemini author Dashiell Hammett. But I recommend that you use his approach very rarely, and only when other learning methods aren’t working. Most of the time, your best strategy for getting the lessons you need is to put lubricating oil into the machinery, not a monkey wrench. That’ll be especially true in the coming weeks. I suggest that you turn the machinery off for a while as you add the oil and do some maintenance. Halloween costume suggestion: repair person, computer techie, machine whisperer.

Bergman was a Cancerian like you and me. One of the factors contributing to his success was that he put his demons to good use, “by harnessing them to his chariot.” He also testified that he gained control over his demons by taking long walks after breakfast. “Demons don’t like fresh air,” he said. “They prefer it if you stay in bed with cold feet.” I suspect that now would be an excellent time to adopt his advice.

They asked me to pretend there was a viable astrological reason to recommend that you imbibe their product in abundance. But the truth is, the actual planetary omens suggest the opposite.

It’s a Japanese term that refers to a kind of beauty that’s imperfect, transitory, and incomplete. I bring these clues to your attention, Pisces, because now is an excellent time to refine and clarify your own notion of beauty—and recommit yourself to embodying it. Halloween costume suggestion: the embodiment of your definition of beauty.
