EATING EDITOR Name: Matt Kettmann Title: Senior Editor Why dive into the Live Oak Café? I’ve written about restaurants in Santa Barbara for almost 20 years, but Live Oak was the first that I watched go from a daydream into reality, which is because I am good friends with the owners.

How long have you known them? I’ve known Mark Dela Cruz — who we’ve always called Dirty — since probably 2000, right after we both graduated UCSB. Among other shared adventures — roasting pigs, sleeping in deserts, backpacking the Los Padres, eating through Cuba — we spent 18 glorious days exploring Costa Rica back in 2003, and you can see us here trekking through some jungle. I’ve known Molly for probably a dozen years, and she plays a mean guitar — well, at least she used to, before this whole restaurant thing.

NEWS BRIEFS THOMAS FIRE In an update to investors this week, Southern California Edison (SCE) said the Thomas Fire had at least two points of origin and that the utility’s “equipment was associated with” the ignition point along Koenigstein Road, located off Highway 150 between Santa Paula and Ojai. “SCE is continuing to assess the progression of the fire from [that location] and the extent of property and other damage that may be attributable to that ignition,” according to prepared remarks from SCE President and Chief Executive Officer Pedro Pizarro. “At this time, SCE has not determined whether the separate ignition in the Anlauf Canyon area [adjacent Thomas Aquinas College] involved our equipment.” Cal Fire’s investigation of the incident is ongoing.

mong a number of vigils held countywide, dozens gathered Monday evening in De la Guerra Plaza to mourn the 11 members of Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue who were murdered by a gunman on Saturday. The vigil, organized

by Mayor Cathy Murillo and members of the city’s Youth Council, was a solemn condemnation of rising trends of gun violence and anti-Semitism. The victims’ names — Irving Younger (69), Melvin Wax (88), Rose Mallinger (97), Bernice (84) and Syl-

van Simon (86), Jerry Rabinowitz (66), Joyce Fienberg (75), Richard Gottfried (65), Daniel Stein (71), and brothers Cecil (59) and David Rosenthal (54) — were read by Jilli Spear of the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara, followed by a moment of silence.

“Anti-Semitism and xenophobia infect society and create tragedies, not only for Jews but for all of humanity,” said Carly Newman of the Jewish Federation’s Young Adult Division. “We will not rest until the last remnant of such hatred is eradicated.”

The shooting that occurred in Pittsburgh, according to Adam Weiss, chair of the Jewish Community Relation Committee, went beyond issues of gun violence and political ideology. “It happened just because they were Jewish — a classic act of anti-Semitism.

And like any other form of racism, it is just un-American.”

After exchanging gunfire with police, the suspect, Robert Bowers, 46, surrendered. Federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Sleeping in Public Not a Crime Plus, Safety of City Parks Subject of More Heated Non-Debate

by Nick Welsh f it’s not part of a well-orchestrated campaign, it may as well be. For the second time in the past three weeks, the public comment portion of Santa Barbara’s City Council meeting was dominated by individuals complaining that city parks have been overrun by individuals engaging in public defecation, masturbation, and inebriation, among other offenses.

This week it was Anna Marie Gott, perhaps the council’s most relentless critic, detailing how a toddler crawling through the grass at Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden had to be taken to the emergency room after coming into contact with an unspecified cannabis product.

As a result, Gott charged, the child’s parents have become the subject of a child welfare

investigation. Two weeks before, it was onetime mayoral candidate and longtime council scold Wayne Scoles — famous for the blistering heat of his tirades—complaining that city police have abdicated their enforcement responsibilities when it comes to transgressions by street people. Speaking in vivid scatological detail, Scoles excoriated the council for failing the public. “You’re elected to do a job, not kiss butt,” he stormed. “We need enforcement; we do not need excuses.”

In both instances, Councilmember Jason Dominguez jumped in after public comment, challenging high-ranking city administrators to do more and rejecting their explanations. Both times, Mayor Cathy Murillo tried to rein in Dominguez, noting that council protocol does

not allow councilmembers to discuss the issues raised during public comment period because they’ve not been agendized. “I wish you were more concerned about the people than public comment,” Dominguez shot back. This sparked Councilmember Randy Rowse to exclaim, “It’s public comment, not your comment.” Dominguez would later reply, “Why are you afraid of the truth, Mr. Rowse?” Dominguez will soon be facing reelection and is widely rumored to be considering a mayoral run against Murillo, with whom he has frequently locked horns.

Aside from the dysfunctional theatrics that increasingly typify council deliberations, the exchange highlights a gathering legal and political storm over the enforcement of certain laws in the wake of a recent court ruling that protects

CITY With surprisingly little controversy or debate, the City Council voted this Tuesday to designate the second Monday of October — traditionally celebrated as the federal Columbus Day holiday — as both Indigenous Peoples’ Day and Italian Heritage Day. Mayor Cathy Murillo was careful to point out the newly city-sponsored holidays don’t replace Columbus Day and instead are meant to celebrate both Santa Barbara’s indigenous Chumash people and Italy’s most famous explorer. Santa Barbara follows in the footsteps of both San Francisco and Sacramento, which adopted similar dual holidays as a compromise with those who objected to erasing Columbus completely. Councilmember Randy Rowse abstained from voting, explaining the city had more pressing business to attend to.

Downtown Santa Barbara has hired Carrie Kelly as its new executive director. Kelly comes with a 15-year background in the legal, nonprofit, and government sectors in both Indiana and Arizona, the business organization said. “I am thrilled to join the staff and board of Downtown Santa Barbara and help reimagine downtown,” Kelly said. “Santa Barbara has such a unique downtown, and I am anxious to jump in and work with stakeholders to tackle big issues.” Those big issues include a record number of storefront vacancies, a large homeless population, and tense relationships between City Hall, parcel owners, and businesses.

LAW & DISORDER In 2017, four Santa Barbara County women lost their lives to domestic violence, according to District Attorney Joyce Dudley, speaking last week at a candlelight vigil hosted by Domestic Violence Solutions (DVS). “[It’s] the most common violent crime in our county,” Dudley said. So far this year, nobody countywide has died from domestic violence, but many have suffered injuries and live in fear. The DVS 24-hour hotline for Santa Barbara is 964-5245. n

Bellosguardo Complaint Filed with State Attorney General

THE HISTORIC MAUSOLEUM at Mission Santa Barbara Surrounded by 200-year-old sandstone walls clad with elegant marble and handcrafted detailing, The Historic Mausoleum features a magnificent columbarium with niche spaces for cremated remains.

This peaceful, sacred space in the heart of the Mission’s historic cemetery offers a truly exquisite resting place of reverence, dignity and hope to all people of goodwill in our community and beyond.

Jeremy Lindaman, who has repeatedly refused requests for an interview, including for this story. Last March, Lindaman, in his only public statement on the future of the estate, said, “An appropriate press event will be conducted in the near future to provide more information.” No event has been announced. Shortly before, the foundation was set to receive $4.5 million in cash as part of the final transfer of Clark’s assets. Lindaman, who has received more than $300,000 in salary since he was appointed in 2014, would also not speak to the transfer.

On another legal front, Santa Barbara artist John De Herrera has filed a writ of mandate against Lindaman, board chair Dick Wolf, and the rest of the Bellosguardo Foundation leadership. The legal petition is meant to compel the nonprofit to fulfill its mission of opening the property as a public venue. Judge Thomas Anderle is expected to rule on the writ in the coming weeks.

anta Barbara civic crusader Ernie Salomon has filed a complaint with the California Attorney General’s Office against the Bellosguardo Foundation, claiming that after four years of “mismanagement,” the nonprofit has failed to make any appreciable headway in fulfilling its mission to open the late Huguette Clarke’s 24-acre estate to the public. “Since the official takeover by the foundation, nothing has been done by the board to further Ms. Clark’s wishes,” Salomon says in his complaint. In an interview, Salomon conceded it will take considerable time and investment to make the property publicly accessible. “It doesn’t have to be tomorrow,” he said. “But the board has got to give the public some kind of indication what their plans are.”

As a government-sanctioned nonprofit, Salomon added, the Bellosguardo Foundation ought to be completely transparent — right now, it’s far from it. The organization funnels all questions to its president,

Nearby, a broken utility main hissed explosive gas. “Somehow, Andy and his crew heard Lauren Cantin’s cries for help,” said Hickman, adding that Rupp and others slowly dismantled the pile as it threatened to collapse, and tunneled toward Cantin. “Andy was the first to make contact with Lauren, and he never left her side, all the way to the ambulance.”

POLITE BUT FIRM: Longtime lawn bowlers have protested their potential displacement if the city opts to locate a new police department at its downtown location.

Lawn Bowlers, Farmers Resist New Police Station One of the Groups Will Be Displaced

by Tyler Hayden n deciding where to build the city’s new police station, Santa Barbara officials now find themselves caught between a gentle mob of lawn bowlers and an angry group of area farmers. Planner Brad Hess informed the Parks and Recreation Commission last Wednesday that, after months of careful deliberation, the city had narrowed down its list of potential sites to two locations: the block of city property encompassing the Louise Lowry Davis Center; the Teen Center; and Spencer Adams Park, where the Santa Barbara Lawn Bowls Club is headquartered; and the Cota Street commuter lot, where the Saturday Farmers Market is held.

Hess said the city had studied but eliminated from consideration the Carrillo Street commuter lot because of access issues, as well as its Laguna Street office campus because of its location in a flood zone. The station’s current location is too small. Hess said a number of properties not already owned by the city—including Earl Warren Showgrounds, the News-Press building, the downtown post office, and others — were also vetted but ruled out for various reasons.

Police brass have requested the new station include 70,000 square feet of floor space, 252 parking spaces for officers and staff, and 80 parking spaces for the public. It will cost upward of $80 million to build. Hess explained that for the park to be repurposed, it would require a vote by city residents in next year’s November election.

In their courteous but insistent way, members of the Lawn Bowls Club spoke against the demolition of their beloved clubhouse and park, gifted to the city for $15,000 by Spencer Adams, a retired Chicago attorney, 81 years ago. “This area is a very special place,” said Sharon Adams of the cluster of buildings along De la Vina Street

surrounded by apartment complexes and commercial spaces. “Teenagers hang out at the Teen Center. Seniors play games and eat free lunches at the [Louise Lowry Davis Center]. Special Olympics athletes practice bocce under the shade of the Moreton Bay fig tree.” Club president Janet Napier called the grassy park an “oasis of fresh air and exercise” in a part of town with few green patches and said she was “horrified” the neighborhood might lose it.

At the hearing, Hess was asked by commission members if or how the displaced facilities’ services might be replaced elsewhere. He said the city would commit to “mitigating as many of the impacts as possible.” That answer didn’t satisfy Napier, who said later she wished the city had a more definitive plan, given its desire to choose a site soon after the New Year. “We think it’s really unfortunate the project manager didn’t give more thought to where the uprooted programs could go,” she said. “That would have made this a lot more palatable.”

Sam Edelman, general manager of the Santa Barbara Certified Farmers Market, said he is “adamantly opposed” to the station being sited on the Cota Street lot. Saturday markets have been held there for 35 years, he said, and to move would be “devastating” for the organization. Like Napier, he’s frustrated with lack of communication from the city.

“We were left out of the process, which is an issue for us,” he said. “They did a lot of this behind the scenes.”

New Hurdles Proposed for Immigrants

I

mmigrant families may soon have to choose between enrolling in federal housing, health, and nutritional programs or being eligible for lawful permanent residence. On October 10, the Trump administration proposed a rule change to the “public charge” immigration policy to expand public services. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can now deny an individual permanent residence if he or she is likely to become a “public charge,” or “primarily dependent on the government for subsistence.” Currently, those benefits are limited to assistance for long-term care and cash assistance for needy families. The proposed policy change would include past and current use of Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Section 8 housing assistance, and low-income subsidy for certain prescription drug benefits.

fear that it will be used against them in their green card applications,” said Congressmember Salud Carbajal. “Many of the children benefiting from these programs are U.S. citizens, and this cruel policy sacrifices their well-being in order to achieve the administration’s ultimate goal of cutting down on legal immigration.”

The California Academy of Family Physicians also expressed opposition. Review of medical expenditures by the California Health Care Foundation found that nationwide 4.8 million children in need of medical attention lived in households with at least one noncitizen adult and were insured by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program. In Santa Barbara County, 48 percent of children live in households with at least one foreign-born parent. The 60-day public comment period for the policy expansion is open until December 10.

That ruling — issued by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on September 4 — decreed that any ordinance that bans so biologically necessary a bodily function as sleep qualified as cruel and unusual punishment. Only if there were as many shelter beds as there were people who are homeless, the court ruled, could a local government enforce such restrictions.

In the wake of what’s known as the Boise decision, Santa Barbara city police found themselves scratching their heads over what they could and could not issue citations for.

The Los Angeles office of the ACLU recently put City Hall on notice that they’re paying attention, filing a public-records-act request on how city cops are enforcing against handicapped individuals who are homeless.

On the flip side, Calonne and the council are bracing for a lawsuit filed by legal barracuda Barry Cappello on behalf of a 4-year- old boy who recently pricked himself with a used syringe while playing at the playground at Vera Cruz Park — nicknamed “Needle Park” — well-known as a haunt for intoxicated street people. Cappello demanded he be placed on a council agenda and allowed 10 minutes to speak. “Not only does the transient population threaten tourism and State Street business,” he wrote, “it is now clear it also threatens the sanctity of our parks and safety of our own —Wayne Scoles, in public testimony at City Hall children.”

Train Advocate Awarded, At Last

J EAN YA M A MU R A

t was 10 years late to the station, joked Eva Inbar, but the new morning train was largely due to Dennis Story, who received the 2018 Barry Siegel award for his “passion and conviction” in making a Santa Barbara train for commuters finally arrive.

Story was instrumental in getting $25 million of 2008’s Measure A monies to be put toward a train — it had fierce competition from advocates for an extra lane for Highway 101, which got $140 million — through sheer persistence and the help of then-supervisor Salud Carbajal, said Inbar, a founder of COAST (Coalition for Sustainable Transportation), which presented Story with the award on October 18.

Story kept the issue alive by holding an annual National Train Day with free rides for families and elected officials, Inbar said.

As a boy, he’d grown up with trolleys and electric buses in Portland, Oregon. He also watched them dwindle away to nothing and then have their current renaissance. “The tipRAIL TIME: Train advocate Dennis Story (right) received ping point for the commuter train,” kudos for persistently applying pressure for the new morning said Story, “was when the 101 was commuter train over the decades. closed [due to the 1/9 Debris Flow], and the only way south was the train.”

School Board Studies Ethnic Studies

M

embers of the Ethnic Studies Now! coalition and their allies packed the Santa Barbara Unified School District’s board meeting last week — dozens of students, parents, educators, and activists in support of providing high schoolers an education that better reflects multicultural backgrounds and experiences. The ongoing discussion to incorporate ethnic studies coursework as a graduation requirement has garnered consensus among sitting boardmembers, and the proposal will be put to a vote on November 13.

According to board president Dr. Jacqueline Reid, ethnic studies courses “reduce alienation … and thus create a more inclusive culture.” The concept is not new, but it reflects a cultural dialogue that is growing in influence statewide and nationally. In Santa Barbara, its recognition has required years of local organizing, mainly by educators and student activists, to build the infrastructure necessary for it to become an action item on the school board’s agenda. Incorporating ethnic studies coursework in Santa Barbara high schools “is one of many steps that the school district needs to take so that we can have a socially just, equitable, and cultur-

ally proficient community,” said Assistant Superintendent Shawn Carey.

Despite wide support for the initiative, some advocates fear that inadequate funding and implementation could present a threat to its success and sustainability.

“Impact matters much more than intent,” said activist Chelsea Lancaster, adding that the implementation of an ethnic studies program “needs to be led by the radical activists that started it.”

There has been hesitation at the state level, as Governor Brown vetoed Assembly Bill 2772, which would have required high schools statewide to incorporate ethnic studies requirements, starting in 2023. “I am reluctant to encourage yet another graduation requirement,” Brown wrote, “especially when students are already overburdened by multiple tests and endless hours of homework.” For Boardmember Ismael Paredes Ulloa, however, an ethnic studies education should be integral to a high school education. “I hope that one day we don’t even have to call it ethnic studies,” he said. “That instead, we call it history — because it actually includes everybody in the room and their contributions.”

Where Ruth Is Truth

LAW

Talking About RBG with Author of New Book on Supreme Court Justice

J

There was a lot of misogyny. And there was Ladies’ Day, where the dean would invite the women in the class every year to his home for dinner. After dinner he would ask them to stand up as he called their name and explain why they were at Harvard taking the place of a man.

by Nick Welsh

ane Sherron De Hart never set out to write a book about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; it just happened that way. De Hart, a professor of women’s history at UCSB, initially set out merely to get her hands on Ginsburg’s notes when, in the 1970s, Ginsburg was spearheading a legal initiative to expand legal rights for women. One step begot another, and soon De Hart found herself meeting with the Supreme Court Justice with some regularity.

De Hart’s product, Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Life, was released just two weeks ago in the tumultuous and toxic aftermath of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. De Hart’s timing could not have been more fortuitous; public fascination with Ginsburg is at an all-time high with a documentary film on the outspoken justice having performed dramatically beyond all expectations this summer.

Independent reporter Nick Welsh met with De Hart to discuss her new book.

The following is an edited version of their conversation.

How did she deal with that? She said the

men bestowed derogatory nicknames upon their female classmates. Ginsburg’s were “Ruthless Ruthie” and “Bitch.” When she later found out that it was “bitch,” she said, “Well, better than ‘bitch’ than ‘mouse.’ ” How would you describe her style in the courtroom? She resolved that she was going to

be unemotional, and her job as a litigator was to try to convince the court that there were situations in which laws appeared to favor women as a group but that actually penalized individual woman. Her briefs were really brilliant. Justice Blackman was kind of grumpy about the whole thing.

He would make little notes during oral arguments that said, “Too emotional.” He didn’t like the fact that she used the history of women as points in her argument.

What do you make of the pop-star status that Ginsberg has achieved? Part of me thinks

it’s a little sexist. “Ooh, she’s this cute, feisty, Jewish lady.” There’s something inherently patronizing about that, but she somehow transcends it. She uses it.

She uses all of this Notorious RBG stuff, particularly where young people are concerned, to convey her views about issues that she thinks are important. For example, in the oral argument over samesex marriage, she described civil unions as opposed to real marriage as “kind of skim-milk marriage.” That’s the kind of thing that goes viral.

She has the ability, and she’s using it more and more.

When she dissents, she’s not speaking to her conservative counterparts. She’s speaking to the future in language that is clear enough and direct enough so that it can become a part of public discourse. I think it’s the authenticity — this octogenarian great-grandmother in whose earlier years was very reserved, not given to small talk. It’s been an interesting transformation.

The word “unprecedented” comes up a lot about Kavanaugh and the recent deliberations. How unprecedented is it really? It is

the first time in over 30 years we haven’t had a middle on the court. You could see that this past term. Justice Kennedy did not vote on a single contested issue with the minority. It was just defeat after defeat. Kavanaugh is very conservative on a number of issues, and it just really creates very stark divisions in the court with no moderating middle.

Do you have any sense if Ginsberg feels trapped? That she couldn’t retire now even if she wanted to? Oh, she doesn’t

feel trapped. In spite of this last term, she loves her job. I asked her how she felt she had changed over the years, and she said, “Well, I have more confidence in my judgment than ever,” but it certainly doesn’t mean that she thinks her judgment will prevail.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

How often did you interview her? When I started, I only saw her once a year. But as we did the interviews, I thought, “I need to know more about this woman.” I needed to know what forces shaped her, what accounted for what I was seeing in the archives. This incredible tenacity, this iron will.

I asked one time, “Can we talk next time about Flatbush?”

That’s the part of Brooklyn where she grew up. She was not interested in that. I said, “I think it’s really important to get the facts straight.” She said, “Well, I’ll give you half an hour.”

There were obvious things related to her childhood and teen years that she did not wish to revisit.

Did you ever figure out why? When she was 2, she had an older

sister who died of spinal meningitis. It obviously affected both of her parents, but particularly her father. My hunch is that he was inclined to be depressed. Her mother used to say to her as a child, “Why don’t you sit in your daddy’s lap and see if you can cheer him up?” Her mother was the really powerful figure in her life, and when she was a freshman in high school, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. She would describe how she and her father would meet at the hospital, visit her mother, eat in the hospital cafeteria, and then go home. There was a grayness, sadness. Her mother died two days before graduation, and her father’s business failed. She grew up in very, very modest circumstances.

How was law school for her? How was it for women back then? At

Harvard Law School, they had only admitted women a few years before Ruth went. And women in many classes were not called upon except in cases that involved sexual assault.

Did she talk about Antonin Scalia with you? The two of them could not be more opposed, but they were famous friends. They argued.

They knew they were never going to convince each other, but they had such a pride in the words they chose and the art of writing. He helped her strengthen her Virginia Military Tech opinion even though he dissented vigorously.

They had this common love of craftsmanship and this real zest for life. At court, if you were really close, you could hear them speaking to each other. He would say things, and she would have to pinch her[self] to keep from laughing. She told me, “I would have to pinch myself so hard that I would have bruises on my arm because he would just crack me up.”

There was nothing more divisive than Bush v. Gore.

When people talked to Scalia about it, he would say, “Oh, get over it.” That was his famous phrase. She had issued a pretty scathing dissent. He called her up after they finally left the court and said, “Take a hot bath.” He sent her roses on her birthday. They celebrated New Year’s dinner.

In the context of today, that’s almost sweet. It is. I mean it’s a

level of talking across the divide that just doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

Is there anything you found out about her that surprised you?

Well, at first, I didn’t know if she had a sense of humor. She was very hard-pressed as a mother and professor and climbing the tenure ladder. Her children, with the encouragement of their father, would try to tell stories at dinnertime to make Mommy laugh. I later discovered in some correspondence that she was quite witty. I also was fascinated by how she replicated, in many ways, her own mother’s mothering, and how her daughter in turn, who’s also a Harvard Law graduate and a Columbian law professor, replicated Ruth’s mothering.

Lying Sack of Fur

‘TO SAY THE LEAST’: How much bad faith

do you have to show? That’s what Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch asked earlier this week, expressing not only his own doubts but those of his forever-mute associate, Clarence Thomas. At last count, there were about 675 billion answers to this question, one for each dollar the federal government spends on government programs that receive federal funding based on information gathered every 10 years by the U.S. Census. Nothing, it turns out, is more diabolically political than the seemingly simple act of counting people.

At issue before the Supreme Court this week was whether attorneys general from the states of New York and California should be allowed “to probe the mental processes” of the Cabinet member responsible for making sure this constitutionally mandated count is conducted fairly and thoroughly. That man is Wilbur Ross, Secretary of the Department of Commerce. Most of us know nothing about the Commerce Department and even less about Ross. Among connoisseurs of whitecollar crime and slime, Ross is famous for being so reflexively crooked that he’d try to cheat himself in a game of solitaire.

This matters now because Ross is pushing to ask census respondents a question about their citizenship status. This, of course, is a white-hot-button issue for all the obvious reasons. With the president threatening to send 5,200 troops to the Mexican border

and to personally abolish the 14th Amendment granting citizenship to anyone born in

the United States regardless of their parents’ status, people with uncertain immigration status might be afraid to participate. That is, obviously, the whole point.

States with high immigrant populations tend to vote disproportionately Democratic. By counting fewer immigrants, those states could find themselves with fewer congressional districts, meaning less clout in Washington. According to California’s Public Policy Institute, the citizenship question could result in a Golden State undercount of 1.6 million people. That’s enough to reduce the size of California’s congressional delegation. It happens all the time. In the last census, 10 states saw a decrease in the number of their Congressional districts; eight saw increases.

That changes the fundamental balance of power.

And of course, it affects how much federal money — health-care dollars, education grants, highway construction pork, school lunch money, block grants, Section 8 housing vouchers, and Head Start, to name just a few — any given community is eligible to receive. About 14 percent of California’s population are noncitizens. In 2015, California got $77 billion in federal funds tied directly to population counts. Cut that by 14 percent, and everyone — citizen and non-citizen alike — feels the pain. Santa Barbara County has

roughly 70,000 noncitizen immigrants, Ventura 110,000. If they’re not counted, that’s a lot of real money down our drain.

States challenging Ross’s citizenship language wanted to put him under oath on the witness stand in the federal trial scheduled to begin next week. They wanted to show what a liar Ross is and to prove he’s acted in bad faith. Ross initially insisted that he included the citizenship question only because the Department of Justice asked him to. That was not truthful. Documents subsequently unearthed reveal that it was Ross who first pushed Justice to ask for this. The same documents revealed that the question emerged out of conversations between Ross and Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s former political consigliere. It was Ross, the records show, who ignored the objections of his senior administrative staff that the citizenship question would imperil the accuracy of the census count. The government already had cheaper, more reliable, less intimidating ways to get at citizenship data, they argued.

This lack of honesty was not sufficient to persuade Justice Gorsuch — who wrote the majority opinion — of Ross’s inherent bad faith. Ross, he ruled, would not have to answer questions under oath. Gorsuch didn’t see what he didn’t want to see. “This is all very unusual to say the least,” he explained.

Forbes magazine, however, found decidedly otherwise, documenting in excruciating detail what an exemplary liar and cheat Ross has been in his business dealings. According to Forbes, Ross had been accused of fraud

over time by no fewer than 21 former business associates and investors. In total, Forbes reporter Dan Alexander found, Ross was accused of bilking his victims of $120 million. Even if Ross ripped off only half that much, Alexander concluded, he’d still rank as one of the top “grifters” in American history. Alexander quoted one former business associate describing Ross as a “pathological liar”; another said he merely “pushed the edge of truthfulness.” Another source accused Ross of filching packets of Sweet’N Low from a restaurant he frequented. A Commerce Department spokesperson rebutted such claims, noting Ross did not put artificial sweeteners in his coffee. As recently as 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission fined Ross $2.3 million after ordering him to return $12 million.

Forbes, it should be noted, has an axe to grind where Ross is concerned. For 13 years, Ross, desperate to be included in Forbes’ annual list of the richest people in America, provided the magazine false information.

He padded his portfolio — by a whole lot — claiming to be worth $3.7 billion. Forbes was suspicious and put him at $2.9 billion.

In fact, it turned out, Ross was worth $700 million.

If and when the census citizenship trial begins next week, we’d be well advised to wonder whether Wilbur Ross is really the man to oversee how many people live in this country. How much bad faith do you have to show? It’s the same answer: “This is all very — Nick Welsh unusual to say the least.”

An Existential Election Amid a Crowded Ballot, the Shape of the Future Comes Down to the Fight for the House

I

f Democrats fail to win control of the House of Representatives on November 6, two things are certain: 1) Donald Trump will take credit.

2) He and a new Republican Congress will be emboldened to ram through a rightwing policy agenda more sweeping than ever: Cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid in the name of balancing massive deficits produced by the plutocratic tax cut; full repeal of the Affordable Care Act, with millions losing health insurance; more ruthlessness toward immigrants and roadblocks for minority voters; an end to the probe of Russia’s role in Trump’s 2016 election, let alone investigation of his banana republic personal corruption; and more environmental rollbacks and prideful ignorance about climate change.

Oh yeah, one more thing: an amped-up daily volume of White House ravings to perfuse the fever swamps of racism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism that now routinely erupt in violence and hate crimes.

This scenario makes the outcome of Democratic efforts to flip 23 Republicanheld House seats, which would transfer control of the chamber and create one impediment to Trumpism, the singular story of the 2018 election.

CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH: The heart of

the election night story will rest in California, where outside and independent groups have poured more than $60 million into a handful of House races—in addition to the tens of millions raised by the candidates themselves.

Dreams Democrats once harbored of capturing the Senate evaporated amid a 2018 campaign map that overwhelmingly favors red states, along with a bump for GOP incumbents following the contentious Senate hearings on Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Now the Dems’ path to capturing a shred of federal power runs through six House seats in southern and central California: • 25th CD (Ventura/L.A. Counties):

Katie Hill, a 31-year-old advocate for the homeless (Independent 10/18/18), has received more than $15 million in outside support ($5 million from exN.Y.C. mayor Michael Bloomberg alone) beyond the $6 million she raised herself, strongly positioning her against proTrump incumbent Steve Knight.

• 39th CD (Orange/L.A./San Bernardino Counties): For this open seat, Democrat

Gil Cisneros, a self-funding millionaire who (literally) hit the lottery, is in a tough race often focused on immigration against former GOP state legislator Young

Kim, who benefits from a large number of Asian-American district voters.

• 45th CD (Orange County): GOP Rep. Mimi Walters is defending her seat against liberal law professor Katie Porter, an advocate of single-payer health care who lost support from labor for backing Prop. 6, the Republicanbacked measure to cut the state gas tax, an attempt to blunt Walters’ antigovernment message.

• 48th CD (Orange County): Fifteenterm Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is considered California’s most vulnerable GOP congressmember because of close ties to Trump and fanboy relationship with Vladimir Putin; real estate executive Harley Rouda, an ex-moderate Republican, is the only strain of Democrat with a chance in this bastion of Reaganism.

Earn 2.11

• 10th CD (Stanislaus/San Joaquin Counties): Thirty-two-year-old

venture capitalist Josh Harder is in a toss-up against GOP incumbent Jeff Denham in an increasingly Latino district, where the Republican has tried to finesse immigration by advocating comprehensive reform legislation but remains open to the Democrat’s attacks on his repeal Obamacare votes.

AND DON’T FORGET: Amid a likely

Democratic sweep of all statewide offices (hello, Gov. Gavin Newsom) there is a modicum of drama in three races where outsiders oppose well-connected Sacramento lawmakers.

For Insurance Commissioner, Silicon Valley mogul Steve Poizner seeks to become the first independent elected in California history (Independent 6/20/18) against state Senator Ricardo Lara; wealthy developer Eleni Kounalakis faces Assemblymember Ed Hernandez (Independent 10/25/18) for Lieutenant Governor; charter school advocate Marshall Tuck faces Democratic Assemblymember Tony Thurmond (Independent 8/30/18) for State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Don’t forget to vote.

— Jerry Roberts

Ask About Our Exceptional Move-In Special for Autumn!

Montecito Water Wisdom

I

found Nick Welsh’s Angry Poodle Barbecue column of October 18, 2018, to be rude, overblown, and filled with many factual inaccuracies. Its bombastic tone was just one more tiresome example of how today’s political discourse has really gone to the dogs.

You missed the whole point of the campaign by the Montecito Water Security Team. Their mission has been to raise public awareness of the waste of 500,000 gallons a day of wastewater discharged into the ocean off Butterfly Beach.

While it is true that the discharged wastewater currently meets state-mandated standards, if the water were treated to a higher level, instead of the minimum, it could be recycled and used on parks, golf courses, the cemetery, and other large users.

This is what the City of Santa Barbara and many other coastal communities have been doing successfully for decades. Using non-potable water for those large users will provide Montecito residents with enough potable water to meet their needs in the years to come.

It is shocking to me that as an avowed progressive, you would discourage the group that is advocating an environmentally more responsible approach rather than maintaining the status quo. The Poodle should be angry about it not being done sooner.

I would also like to address the disrespectful and inappropriate comments you wrote in your column about Bob Hazard. For many years, he has done our community a huge service by doing in-depth research on important issues and generating public awareness. He is a tireless advocate for Montecito and a highly respected neighbor.

—Betsy Coates, Montecito

T

...

he Montecito Water Security Team is as green as it gets. Our sole objective is to achieve a sustainable, reliable, and resilient supply of water for our entire community. Our strategies include recycled wastewater for irrigation for at least the cemetery and large properties such as golf courses and hotels, which preserves potable supply. For over a decade, both the Sanitary and Water Board incumbents have pointed at each other for the failure to bring this basic supply to Montecito while water continues to be wasted and dumped into the ocean. The environment and Montecito have been paying the price for their behavior.

We find it curious that the Independent has gone to great lengths to carry the water for two Republican incumbents at the Sanitary District that have raised rates 37 percent and insist on a $3.5 million building ahead of a recycling facility. Did anyone object when State Senator Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys) introduced legislation in 2016 to “Stop Dumping Treated

Water into the Ocean”? What about Heal the Ocean’s mission to end “ocean dumping”? Or Melinda Burns’s 2017 article that the “South Coast wastewater stream—about 11 million gallons per day—is treated, piped offshore, and dumped into the ocean?”

The Sanitary District has inappropriately spent public funds to campaign and has even enlisted the state to purportedly help. This unprecedented action has been correctly challenged as illegal campaigning at the taxpayer’s expense.

Many residents have contributed time and money to our campaign, as have we. Without this, no one would be talking about dumping wastewater off Butterfly Beach, recycling, or the Water District incumbent’s planning failures for over a decade. Montecito and Summerland deserve a new slate to move our community forward. — Cori Hayman, Ken Coates, Brian Goebel, Woody Barrett, and Dana Newquist

n Thursday, within 18 hours of the first news, two men in the waiting area of a local orthopedic clinic were discussing the multiple pipe bomb mailings sent to high-profile Democrats across the country. These two loudly agreed across the waiting room that the bombs addressed to two former U.S. presidents, among others, had been proven to be sent by liberals and that fact would never be reported by “the media,” which was in cahoots with the perpetrators.

My name was called by the nurse within a minute and I regret not engaging the two in their mid-thirties to mid-forties before I followed her to the exam room.

Such sorry souls must be tormented by every sunrise. They live where officials elected by their neighbors include liberal city councilmembers, county supervisors, soon-to-be supermajority progressive state legislators, and a liberal Congressman, and where all statewide public officers are Democrats, as are both our federal senators.

Pure hell for them. Why, oh why don’t they take their tinfoil hats and move to Wyoming?

For the Record

¶ Contrary to what was insinuated in last week’s endorsement of a “Yes” vote on Proposition 12, which would lead to tougher regulations on factory farms, the Humane Farming Association and Californians Against Cruelty, Cages, and Fraud are not being “bankrolled” by the pork and poultry industries.

Rather, the groups are opposed to Prop. 12 because it gives those industries what they want, and it does not go far enough in the proposed restrictions. ¶ In last week’s endorsement of Proposition 7, we got the definition of daylight saving time backward: Clocks are set one hour ahead in the spring and then set back an hour in the fall.

A Homeless Leader

BY N A N C Y M C C R A D I E AND K R Y S TA L F R E E D O M

D

aniel Knapp was born in Alhambra, Cali-

fornia. Proudly being of Finnish descent, he grew up in Minnesota and moved back out west when he was 15 years old. He moved to Santa Barbara in 1978. Daniel didn’t always fit in with the social norms; he saw life in his own way. Daniel was a philosopher and would engage in marvelous debates with people.

He was young and full of energy. He was funny and creative in formulating street theater, and he also played a mean blues guitar. He loved the Raiders and the Vikings. He deeply cared about people, and he dedicated his life to homeless issues.

Daniel became homeless in the early ,80s. In Santa Barbara, he met like-minded individuals who were also fighting for homeless rights. He would come to volunteer for the Homeless Coalition. This is where he met the executive director of the coalition, Jane Haggstrom, who became the mother of his only son, Daniel Jr. Dan drove the coalition van, providing the homeless with rides to the clinics and out-of-town meetings. He became a marvelous homeless activist. He participated in the adventures of the Homeless Civil Rights movement. We called him “Dan, Dan, the Media Man,” for he loved to contact the media for the many educational events we put on.

He and Bob Hansen, a homeless advocate and frequent mayoral candidate, became close friends. They eagerly formed a trio of “Bathroom Banditos” with Collin Atherton to protest the lack of public restrooms in Santa Barbara. They dressed up in Mexicali hats and serapes to torment the City Council with skits and props. They were tired of people getting tickets for eliminating in public. Justice prevailed with the appearance of a public restroom near State and Canon Perdido streets. Dan also participated in the Housing Now! rallies in Washington, D.C., representing the

Santa Barbara Homeless Coalition and meeting several movie stars and national homeless activists along the way. The list goes on and on for Daniel.

Speaking with one of his street friends, we hear of a summer night on the back porch of SOhO Restaurant.

The Pink Floyd tribute band was playing. “Danny gave me an hour dissertation of life, music, and philosophy.

Danny, an Alameda Park Angel flying too close to the land. Bless you, my brother!” Neptune Public Radio reporting.

Daniel Knapp’s son writes, “And so my watch begins.

“Through the magic of life, he passed a world of gifts to me. My love and ability for music, the gift of gab, connecting people, and my unconditional love for all beings. I love you, Daddy-o.”

Even as Daniel lay in his bed after a major stroke, unable to move his left side, turn his head, or speak, he was able to flip his friends off, fist bump, raise his thumb for “yes,” and thump on the bed for “no.” He never lost his sense of humor, so we knew that Daniel was still with us. As the complications became too much for him to handle, we sat at his bedside playing the Eagles and the Beatles, singing to him, and loving him until he jumped off of the planet.

Daniel is survived by his brother Dave Knapp, his sister Denean Flowers, and his beloved son, Danny.

He is survived by the many people he loved and who loved him on the streets of Santa Barbara. He was well-loved by many advocates still working for the homeless of Santa Barbara. It is a wish of Daniel Knapp for people to enjoy a documentary on YouTube called Streets of Paradise, a graphic documentary of the homeless. Many of the people in this movie are no longer with us, but we see Daniel playing “Stormy Monday” in the opening credits with his guitar. Rest in peace, our brother.

Dr. Van R. Hamilton, a man beloved by patients, colleagues, family, and friends, passed away on September 6, 2018. He was born on December 27, 1937, in Van Nuys, California, the son of Dr. Van R. Hamilton and Cecilia Lindsten Hamilton. He spent most of his youth in Riverside, where his father was a practicing pediatrician. He graduated from Riverside Poly, then went on to earn a degree from University of Oregon, and obtained his medical degree from the University of California San Francisco, graduating near the top of his class.

After service as an army doctor in Vietnam, he settled with his first wife Janice and sons Greg and Eric in Santa Barbara, where he practiced internal medicine for almost fifty years, finally retiring at age 80. He loved his work, and patients loved him, often remarking on his care, compassion, and his willingness to spend whatever time they needed with them. They also appreciated that twinkle in his eye and his sense of humor.

Van was also a man who dearly loved and appreciated family and friends. His relatives always enjoyed his masterful storytelling and his ability to adopt a character and keep us all laughing and highly entertained. He was an avid reader, always willing to share books and book-related conversation. Van also reveled in his hiking, backpacking and horse-packing with friends and family members. He was never happier than when he was fishing a high country stream or sharing jokes and stories around a campfire.

He possessed an amazing memory, able to recall details of long past events and people. This served him well in his medical practice, as he was able to recall almost everything he had read or learned in medical school, allowing him to be a masterful diagnostician.

Van leaves behind his wife Lois, sons Greg and his wife, Monica, of Santa Barbara and Eric and his wife, Linda, of Los Angeles, his step-daughter Kim Mearig and her husband, Brian, of Carpinteria, along with four grandchildren, Abel, Elaia, Jack, and Meredith and two step-grandchildren, Justin, and Kaitlyn. He also leaves behind his sisters, Valerie Thompson of Oceanside, Diane Jensen and her husband Verlyn of Santa Ana and his brother, Stephen Hamilton and his wife Andrea of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and many nieces and nephews. He will always be missed, but never forgotten.

Van's memorial service will take

NOVEMBER 1, 2018

Fos Campbell of Carpinteria passed away on October 28, 2018, following the death of his beloved wife of 75 years, Dorothy, by just three months. Fos grew up on his uncle’s farm in Ohio, then in the little lakeside town of St. Joseph, Michigan where he loved to sail with his Cousin Don and his fellow Sea Scouts. He went to Iowa State University, met Dorothy, and graduated with a degree in physics just in time to join the Navy and get sent to England as an electronics technician in 1941, before the US had even entered WW II. He crossed the North Atlantic on a Norwegian freighter in a convoy haunted by German U-boats, one of which famously torpedoed and sank the Rueben James, near Fos’s ship, the first US ship sunk in the war. Military service made a huge impression on Fos as he was in the thick of things as a very young man with the big responsibility of running the radar systems on aircraft carriers. He sailed on the carrier Block Island in the Atlantic and by the end of the war was on the carrier Hancock in the South Pacific, where he lost many shipmates to a Kamakazi attack.

When the war ended, and now married to Dorothy, Fos went to Harvard Business School on the GI Bill then moved his young family to California in 1947, settling in Pasadena. He went to work in a succession of company start-ups capitalizing on the new war-time technologies. Companies like Helipot, Beckman Industries, Statham Labs, and Litton Industries; where he combined his technical knowledge with his love of people and became a successful sales manager. When he felt he had been cheated out of very lucrative stock options by one of his (later notorious) bosses, he vowed to never work for anyone again and started his own company in 1962: High Vacuum Electronics. The products manufactured were vacuums witch gear used in medical, test, and communications equipment.

In 1968 he moved the family and the company, now called Kilovac, to Carpinteria where the company occupied a lemon-packing shed on Linden Avenue. Fos loved to tell the story of how people anxious to go to work for the one of the first tech businesses in the area would form long lines up Linden Ave. waiting to apply for a job. Fos’s loyalty to the many people who worked for him and who helped make the company a success was

INDEPENDENT.COM

best expressed by his granting of company stock to all of his employees, representing more than a third of the value of company.

Many who worked at Kilovac later went on to start and work at Gigavac, also in Carpinteria and also a strong advocate for sharing the company’s success with employees.

Fos was one of the original members of Carpinteria Rotary founded in 1973. He also helped with the AEA Private Industry Council, SB Scholarship Foundation, Carpinteria Education Foundation and the Friends of the Library. He was honored by the City of Carpinteria in 2010 for his contributions in diversifying the local economy with over $150 million of payroll paid out over the 25 years of Kilovac operations.

Fos loved his family more than anything and was surrounded in his final hours by his children, Doug, Kathy (Bressler), Don, and Steve, many of his seven grandkids, and his extended family of daughter-in-laws and caregivers.

He is survived by four great-grandchildren as well.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, November 3, from 10 am to noon at Girls Inc. in Carpinteria for both Fos and Dorothy.

In the loving presence of his wife, Linda and his adored daughter Jennifer, Vic bid us farewell on his next journey.

Everyone that knew Vic had heard his story of leaving his beloved family and town of Avon, Ct. for a warmer climate.

They married 4 months later. 1973 their treasured daughter, Jennifer, was born and the rest is history.

Vic worked most of his adult life as a drywall installer. Above all he believed his greatest accomplishment in life was his pride and joy, Jennifer. In 2000 Jennifer married and now he had Sean who he loved like a son. Then along came the lights of his life two grandsons, Connor (10) and Trevor (8).

Vic loved sports playing both football and baseball in high school and college. He loved the game of golf and so enjoyed playing with his buddies at S.B. Golf Club and marshalling there for 15 years. He especially loved coaching his daughter’s softball teams.

He valiantly fought advanced colon cancer for over 4 years. He credited his success to his amazing Oncologist, Greg Newman, M.D. and the “A Team” oncology staff and nurses at Sansum/Ridley Tree Cancer Clinic.

Nelson “Hank” Pfister

Nelson Henry “Hank” Pfister, age 79, of Santa Barbara, CA, passed away on Oct. 15, 2018 surrounded by family following his long-term and valiant battle with Parkinson’s disease. He fought the disease in the way he led his life: with grace, care for the people around him, grit and faith in God. Hank was born in 1939 and raised in Burbank, CA. Upon graduation from the University of Southern California in 1961, he was commissioned an Ensign in the U. S. Navy and assigned to the USS Renshaw, a destroyer based in Pearl Harbor. By the end of his threeyear stint, which included service in Vietnam, he had been promoted to Chief Engineer.

His Navy service matured Hank and prepared him for a life that included a love for his country and an abiding patriotism that remained steadfast his entire life.

Throughout his service to his country and later as an election volunteer, he believed deeply in the democratic process.

As he transitioned to civilian life and returned to USC for his Masters in Business Administration, he met the love of his life, fellow student Andrea Haley of Ventura County, CA. The couple raised their two children, Eric and Marilee in Newport Beach.

While Hank held a number of senior management positions, he felt work was a means of ensuring his family was cared for and as a backdrop to do what was really important in life: spending time with his wife, his children and his friends. He adored coaching youth sports and sharing his passion for skiing and the mountains. Other times he could be found in the garage repairing something for a friend.

Hank and Andrea moved to Santa Barbara in 2001, where he became well known for his volunteerism and leadership in several community organizations.

His values of respect, integrity and honesty were hallmarks in each organization in which he volunteered or led – as well as his remarkable ability to make those around him feel special. His sense of humor was legend.

Hank is survived by his loved and loving wife Andrea; son Eric, daughter-in-law Malia, and their children Katherine and Davis; and daughter, Marilee, son-in-law Ron Grossheim, and their children, Emma and Haley. The family would like to thank all of Hank’s caregivers who supported him and Andrea in the decade that he fought Parkinson’s, especially Dan, Pam and Sofia.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Hank’s memory may be made to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (www.nmcrs.org) or the Parkinson’s Association of Santa Barbara.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018 at 11 a.m. at All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Montecito. His ashes will be interred in the family plot at Ivy Lawn Cemetery in Ventura, CA.

Deluvina “Dewey” Aragon 11/03/34 – 10/23/18

Deluvina “Dewey” Aragon, 83, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loved ones, on Tuesday, Oct 23rd, 2018. She was born to the late Francisco and Rosa Aragon on Nov 3rd, 1934 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Dewey is survived by her sweet dog Sasha, her daughters Esperanza Perez and Consuelo Anguiano, and son, Martin Leyva, her grandchildren, Alicia, Alix, Manuel, Daniel, and Kailani, and great-grandbabies, Caden and Ezra; also, her brother Frank Jr., her sister Estella, her niece Bernadine “Weda” Vasquez, and her many loved ones in New Mexico.

Dewey was loved and cared for by her loved ones and was never left alone. We are going to miss her feistiness, quick wit and ongoing shenanigans. It was never a dull moment to be around her. Dewey had a long history of health issue but truly showed her family the meaning of strength and resiliency.

After years of working to support her family, Dewey was medically retired but never stopped wanting to be a provider. Our mom not only raised her children, but also raised her many nieces and nephews. She then was honored by helping raise her grandchildren and later becoming a great-

grandmother. She had a love of collecting elephants; and a love of embroidery, drinking diet Cokes, and sneaking sweets, all the while watching an array murder/mystery shows, as long as someone died.

She had a love for Forensic Files, Law & Order and Sons of Anarchy, like mentioned, as long as someone died.

Our mom was a caring and kind individual (most of the time), caring about people and worrying about how others were. She had a love of cooking, making some of the best New Mexican dishes and chile. There is so much to be said about the matriarch, she never let us down when it came to making us laugh and smile. There are so many memories that are embedded in our minds, but most importantly, our hearts.

We love and miss you Mom, your grandbabies miss their G-Dawg, and Caden and Ezra want you to come back. We pray your journey home is a good one; that your reunited with your daughter, Rosa Margarita, and son, Adolfo Daniel, and that you are enjoying a diet coke and eating pan-dulce with Grandpa, Tio Mon, Della and the rest of your beloved family.

Rest easy Dewey, you will never be forgotten, you left us with so many beautiful memories, we are honored that Creator chose you for us.

We love you.

We would like to send a special thank you to mom’s “Guarding Angel” Dr. Michael Bordofsky, her caregiver Ana Rangel, and to the staff at Visiting Nurse & Hospice who took part in her care. We honor you.

A graveside ceremony to celebrate her life will be held at Calvary Cemetery, 199 N. Hope Ave, S.B. California on Nov. 3rd 2018 at 11:00 am.

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

INDEPENDENT.COM

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.

Sue’s generosity in giving her time and talents to the community was surpassed only by the kindness she offered without hesitation to her friends and family. Spirited and direct, courageous and never complaining, Sue was a woman of integrity, honesty and compassion.

She led a purposeful life.

Sue is survived by son Scott, his wife Rachil and grandsons Justin and Nate in Santa Barbara; son John and his wife Amelija in Santa Barbara; son Jim, his wife Lori and grandchildren Dylan, Riley, Ella and Finn in Pacific Palisades. Sue was predeceased by her loving husband of 51 years, her parents and her brother Joel Forster.

A funeral mass will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, October 26 at the Old Mission Santa Barbara followed by a reception at La Cumbre Country Club.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Assistance League of Santa Barbara, 1259 Veronica Springs Road, Santa Barbara, 93105.

just finished cleaning the bathrooms,” says Chef Mark Dela Cruz matter-of-factly, his face shrouded by a hooded sweatshirt while the sun rises above the Live Oak Café on a recent Thursday morning. “I have to mop the floors early so they’re dry by 7 a.m.”

When he and his girlfriend, Molly Holveck, opened the Bath Street restaurant inside the Encina Inn & Suites more than three years ago, they fulfilled a shared dream, one that’s not uncommon in this age of celebrity chefs and foodie fandom.

But they also entered, almost blindly, a new reality of endless toil, on-the-job learning, and steady personal sacrifice. The romance of owning and operating their own restaurant was essentially dead on arrival.

They put their heads down and persevered, and recently were able to stop working 16-hour days seven days a week — they’re now on more of a six-day, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. schedule; Holveck gets Saturdays off while Dela Cruz takes Mondays. However, like restaurateurs everywhere, they remain at the whim of the lives of their nearly two dozen employees, meaning that the pair’s next missed wedding, canceled vacation, or 16-hour day is only a text message away.

This particular morning the dishwasher can’t make it, and so Dela Cruz finds himself scrubbing toilets and sanitizing flatware rather than curing bacon or braising short-ribs. When a server calls in sick, Holveck is bussing tables and taking orders instead of baking cakes and crafting cappuccinos.

Live Oak’s proud owners, Mark Dela Cruz and Molly Holveck And just like the napkin folding, coffee mug refilling, and question answering about whether the wheat bread is gluten-free or if the halibut is farmed, the paperwork never stops. Although cooking is what brought them to this point, it’s often the least of their daily concerns now.

As the food editor of the Santa Barbara Independent, I’ve frequented — and written about — dozens of restaurants over the past two decades, but I know the Live Oak Café story most intimately. That’s because Mark and Molly are my good friends, and I became a back-seat passenger on their journey

When I decided to write about how a Santa Barbara restaurant really works, I trusted them to speak honestly about But what’s most compelling to me about the Live Oak story the business, without the everything-is-organic sugarcoating is that Dela Cruz had never stepped foot in a commercial that’s the mantra of today’s culinary world. And because the kitchen before this undertaking, having worked primarily Live Oak Café’s three-meals-a-day formula, moderate pricing, as a handyman for most of his adult life. While Holveck’s and wide-ranging menu essentially makes it a classic Ameri- résumé is stacked with managing jobs at some of Santa Barcan diner — albeit a more upscale and creative one — I believe bara’s best-known eateries — Natural Café and the former their experience represents what restaurant ownership must Sojourner Café, to name two — Dela Cruz is just a couple of steps removed from me and possibly you: i.e., those who enjoy be like in cities across the country.

The Always Exhausting, Occasionally Rewarding

Life of Running Your Own Restaurant

cooking, think we’re pretty good at it, and entertain faroff fantasies of one day running our own place. But, as you’ll discover, theirs is a cautionary tale, albeit one with a light finally flickering at the end of the tunnel.

“If you’re asking me if I’d change it,” Dela Cruz replies when I ask whether he wishes he’d had more technical training or practical experience before embarking on this adventure, “I don’t think I would. Everything’s worked out the way it’s supposed to.”

7:08 a.m.: A buzzing sound like a dot matrix printer hums in the kitchen, spitting out an order and prompting the two line cooks, Jovani Crucillo and Claudia Cuevas, who arrived around 6 a.m. that morning, to start pancakes, oatmeal, and an over-easy egg. “That’s the first ticket,” says Dela Cruz. “I used to have nightmares about that sound. That was just my inexperience in cooking at a commercial level.”

Born in Honolulu, where his Filipino paternal grandmother was born on a sugar-cane plantation, Dela Cruz, who is 43 years old, was raised in Orange County’s Fountain Valley, his dad a computer programmer, his mom a nurse originally from British Columbia.

He started cooking in the mid-1990s when he came to UC Santa Barbara to study biology. “I wanted to eat the same food that my parents were eating at home: fried rice and kalua pork and shoyu chicken,” says Dela Cruz, whose dad still lords over his parents’ kitchen. “I had to learn all those recipes.”

That little bit of knowledge was valuable in Isla Vista, where grilling culture reigns and yet very few know how to cook. His culinary interest grew stronger after graduating in 1999, which is about when we met and began tending many a barbecue together. He’d gotten hooked on Alton Brown’s Good Eats television show around that time, fascinated by the scientific side of the kitchen.

After quitting a marine biology lab job, Dela Cruz started working construction with a property manager who oversaw about 100 units in town as well as various remodeling jobs. His boss also owned a massive barbecue trailer, and one day they catered a 200-person wedding together, which was the first time Dela Cruz really cooked for people he didn’t know. He eventually did some other small gigs as well, to much applause.

“Everyone was telling me that I should think about doing this professionally,” he recalls, and that thought started burning in the back of his mind. “I knew I didn’t want to do construction forever.”

7:15 a.m.: Ding! “That’s the food,” says Dela Cruz, happy that it’s ready in seven minutes. A brisk breakfast service is critical to Live Oak’s success, especially on weekends, when their

popular brunch goes until 1 p.m. “The difference between making $1,500 at breakfast and $1,500 at dinner is huge,” he explains. Breakfast is easier to prepare, and the ingredients typically cost much less, just one of the many lessons that he learned upon opening.

Initially, Dela Cruz had high hopes of changing the menu seasonally, offering meticulously crafted specials, and other sorts of fine-dining items.

“Then reality hit, where I just needed to have enough food to serve,” he says. “I had no idea of portions, of how much meat we would need.” One weekend in July 2015, after I wrote a short piece about his bacon-fried rice bowl, Dela Cruz explains, “We literally ran out of bacon and rice.”

His inexperience led to other follies, inefficient methods, and some of his staff taking advantage of him. But Dela Cruz also believes that his naivete allowed him to try things that a more experienced chef would have instinctively avoided — such as . curing his own bacon, which takes a week, and then prepping it in — Mark Dela Cruz either his Pacific Rim or Maple Espresso seasonings. “We sell a lot of that bacon,” he says. “The bacon-fried rice dish, that’s what we’re known for.”

8:01 a.m.: “They’re asking about where the bacon comes from, because they really enjoy it,” says Jodi Ford, the morning busser, to Dela Cruz. “That’s the Pacific Rim,” he replies. “You can tell them we make it here.”

As she saunters back to the customers with the new intel, he turns to me, explaining apologetically, “It’s, like, her fifth day. When it comes to training, the menu is so much further beyond the basics.”

Dela Cruz and Holveck are proud of their current staff: a dozen line cooks and dishwashers and an equal number of servers and bussers. Finding reliable employees in a tight labor market proves to be Live Oak’s biggest challenge, a complaint I’ve heard from restaurant managers all across town.

They’ve endured tremendous employee turnover in three years, with the exception of Cesar Muñoz, who’s been with them since they opened the door and is now a manager.

“That’s always fun — having to interview a bunch of people and finding no qualified applicants and having to cover all of the shifts,” says Holveck of a recent round of hiring. Then there was the week when many scheduled interviews yet no one showed up. “I don’t get this ghosting thing. That’s the way things are done now, I guess,” she adds.

Though just 32 years old, Holveck is a veteran of the Santa Barbara restaurant industry. Raised in Auburn in the Sierra Nevada foothills, where her dad worked in construction and her mom made killer holiday cookies,

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.

Live Oak’s Pacific Rim bacon-fried rice

COVER STORY she moved here in 2004 at age 17 to attend Santa Barbara City College and then study art history at UCSB. After seeing a roommate come home with wads of cash from waiting tables, Holveck started working as a hostess at the Wine Cask at age 18.

“I was so young, but they took me under their wing,” she remembers fondly.

“It was like this little family. They took me out on a salsa dancing cruise. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, dancing all night with the cooks. I got hooked at that point.”

There were other benefits as well. “It Making lattes … helped me come out of my shell because I was extremely shy,” she says. “Having to talk to people was my number-one fear.

I probably didn’t say a word in my childhood until I was 16.”

Horrible clothing retail jobs led to a great experience at Metropulos in the then-emerging Funk Zone, where she made sandwiches and ran the cheese counter for a couple of years. Then came S.B. Roasting Company and the Natural Café, where she quickly became the downtown location’s assistant GM. By 22, she was the GM of the location at Hitchcock Way, one of the busier restaurants in … handling paperwork … town and adjacent to the headquarters of the successful regional chain.

“It was terrifying,” says Holveck. One day, her attempts to keep labor costs down by sending staff home early collided with a surprise rush that forced the café chain’s owner to pitch in and make smoothies.

“He said, ‘I get what you’re doing, but don’t ever do that again—you can’t do everything,’ ” says Holveck, who got critical crash courses in the Natural Café’s profit and loss accounting, staff training protocols, and large-scale management systems. “At the time, I was like, ‘This is nuts. … prepping chicken …

It’s all extremely stressful,’ ” she says. “But now looking back, I wish I could implement that here.”

Upon college graduation with her art history degree, she realized she didn’t want to work in museums. After a few months in Europe, she returned to Santa Barbara in 2012 and found work at Olio Pizzeria and Sojourner Café. The latter, a classic all-vegetarian menu eatery that closed in September 2015, was really the first time she waited tables. “I was jumping into something new again,” says Holveck, who served as Soj’s manager for almost two years. “It was probably the funniest … and chopping herbs are all part of daily life at the Live Oak Café. place to learn how to wait tables because it was so, uh, I guess ‘free-spirited’ is the He could cook, and I could bake. It was like a what-aword.”

Holveck started daydreaming about running wonderful-life kind of thing.” her own bakery. “My baking background is nothing—I have no experience at all,” she readily admits, though she recalls many holiday cookie sessions with 8:23 a.m.: Dela Cruz emerges from the kitchen with her mom, a tradition she keeps up today at the café, a twinkle in his eye. “You’ve come on a good day,” he alongside inventive pies and other desserts. “It’s just smiles. “Just go back there.”

I walk into the kitchen, where a long, green snake something that I really loved to do. It was rewarding.”

By then, Holveck had been dating Dela Cruz for of a tube is jiggling on the ground, putrid smells filling almost 10 years, and they talked about restaurant the air. “It’s sucking out the grease trap,” Dela Cruz says dreams. “I don’t think I was necessarily planning on over the gurgling.

Diversity Lecture

Race, Rights and Resources: Bringing “Home" FOUR Decades of

Activist Research in Latin America Dela Cruz infuses his Filipino-Hawaiian upbringing into Pan-Asian dishes, such as this popular pork belly bánh mì.

10:46 a.m.: “Now there’s no one,” says Holveck, her restaurant completely empty. Though they’ve developed a solid clientele of locals, Cottage Hospital employees and patients, and hotel guests — which can account for 80 percent of the business in the summer — it’s still a nail-biting affair in slow times. Of all businesses, restaurants may be the most feast or famine.

“We were absolutely overwhelmingly busy this summer. We did more than I could have ever imagined, and I felt physically broken,” says Holveck. “But October is looking brutal.” By 10:47 a.m., a new customer is being seated.

11:01 a.m.: “It’s a new guy,” says Dela Cruz, as he and Holveck watch the delivery man from U.S. Foods pile boxes of eggs and most everything else into the kitchen. Holveck scours the list — errors sometimes happen, like hot sauce mislabeled into the to-go cups box — as Dela Cruz shuffles the cold stuff into the fridge and Cuevas stacks dry goods in the pantry.

They order once a week from U.S. Foods, Jordano’s, and Harbor Meat & Seafood, as well as from produce suppliers, Ethnic Breads in Goleta, McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams, and Tondi Gelato, and they occasionally hit the farmers’ markets, usually Tutti Frutti Farms, for specialties like heirloom tomatoes. I wonder aloud about the oft-uttered claim of chefs shopping that market daily or buying all organic, locally grown produce, and Dela Cruz grumbles.

For him to do that would add “exorbitant” cost to the menu, and he believes that most of the meat — including the beloved Mary’s Free Range Chicken, which he buys — is coming from the same handful of producers, unless you’re buying directly from a boutique source. He’s run into other renowned restaurateurs loading up on meat at Costco. “It’s all price point,” he explains of the buying decisions.

That said, about three-quarters of the menu is house-made — even the salad dressings, sausage patties, quinoa cakes for eggs Benedict, and pickled veggies — and Dela Cruz makes the pricier call when needed, including the organic eggs, which cost more than twice as much. “It makes a difference, in the flavor for sure, and the texture,” he explains. “But we don’t say it in huge letters on the menu.”

Being a restaurant on a Best Western property came with other challenges as well, including the need to stock Raisin Bran at all times, a tasting for the corporate execs, and a sprawling menu that slides from French toast and PanAsian to Southern barbecue and Italian-American favorites like chicken piccata. “It’s global comfort food,” says Dela Cruz. “It’s all stuff that we really like to eat.”

“We’ve got a lot to cover,” says Holveck of having to serve so many different types of people. “Having a big menu is something I didn’t really want, but it seemed necessary.”

The Live Oak Café is located inside of the Encina Inn & Suites on Bath Street.

Charles R. Hale CHARLES R. HALE is an anthropologist and the new SAGE Sara Miller McCune Dean of Social Sciences at UCSB. In 1977, he began what would become four decades of research and practical work with people seeking to better their lives through economic, political, and cultural empowerment in Central America.This talk reflects on the unlikely transition from those commitments to an administrative position at UC Santa Barbara, emphasizing how insights gleaned through activist research in seemingly faraway places might offer pathways and principles for engaging major challenges of intersectional justice and democratic efficacy at home—in higher education, and by extension, in society at large in our troubled times.

COVER STORY

Though delegating is necessary in restaurant kitchens, Dela Cruz still handles signature items like the kalua pork, which he wraps in banana leaves and seasons with Hawaiian sea salt.

1:17 p.m.: It’s the lunch rush, and the credit card machine is not working, so the Live Oak crew opts for its Square backup device and calls the repairman.

He’ll show up almost two hours later.

Though open for more than three years, it was only about a year ago that Holveck and Dela Cruz started to feel somewhat comfortable in their new shoes. They also earned full ownership of the business, recently signing their first five-year lease. “I feel like we can conquer a lot,” says Holveck.

“Whenever something comes up, we know the protocol. Even when shit hits fans, we don’t freak out anymore. We just start problem solving.”

1:26 p.m.: “It’s very good. The meat is very tender,” says a woman behind me, chomping on the pulled-pork sandwich. “Thanks for the recommendation.” She’s talking to her server, Josh Perry — Holveck says her waitstaff gets lot of compliments for being knowledgeable — but the customer walks up to the bar when Dela Cruz comes out.

“That barbecue sauce and the pork is so delicious,” she tells him. “And that’s coming from every day of the week, a black woman whose family owns Gates Bar-B-Q in Missouri. That’s saying a lot.” is located at Though he doesn’t work the 2220 Bath Street. line much anymore, Dela Cruz is still the one who smokes the Call 845-5193 pork shoulder every week, or see prepares the kalua pig with liveoakcafe.com. banana leaves and Hawaiian sea salt, marinates the shoyu chicken, cures all that bacon, and sous vides the pork belly for the bánh mì sandwiches. But both he and Holveck are increasingly comfortable with delegating, which is the difficult but necessary step that restaurateurs must take to regain any semblance of a normal life.

They’ve even been able to take some overseas trips — once to Sicily together, and Dela Cruz came with me to Cuba last year, chalking it up to “research,” and Holveck just came back from a girls’ trip to Mexico. “It was glorious,” she says. “We need to do it more often because it’s not a big deal.

The restaurant functions just fine when we’re not here.”

The two are now at a point where they can start thinking about the future, tightening up their systems, tweaking the menu, considering delivery service, and maybe even more off-site catering. Says Dela Cruz, almost reluctantly, “No one really does luaus in town …”

Holveck believes that Live Oak Café has cultivated that same sort of family feel among the staff that pulled her into the industry in the first place.

So is she happy to have embarked on this entrepreneurial adventure? “I am glad,” she says. “It’s still tough, but I am glad.”

O p e n 7 a.m.-9 p.m.

Live Oak Café

Epilogue

Sunday, 7:54 a.m.: My family and I walk into the Live Oak Café for Sunday brunch, and the place is packed — every table in the main dining room is full, and then the patio is consumed by a youth soccer team, parents and siblings and all. I’d forgotten that the night before was Holveck’s birthday, so neither she nor Dela Cruz is in yet. Things are running rather smoothly — sure, some tables wait a little while for their bills or coffee refills, but that’s normal in even the most established diners during a rush.

Holveck zips in about 15 minutes later, hurried but smiling. As she hustles by our table, she jokes, “This is fun …,” but I see a glimmer of pride in her eye. As we pay our bill and wave goodbye, she’s bussing a table and welcoming the next four-top at the same time.

Thank you, Santa Barbara!

We at Mission Santa Barbara are deeply appreciative of the outpouring of kindness and support from the Santa Barbara community in response to the recent vandalism at the Mission church. While we acknowledge the pain and anger that were expressed in the attack, we refuse to accept as justifiable the use of vandalism and desecration of property as ways to dialogue.

All of us at the Mission -- friars, parishioners, staff and volunteers, are committed to making this sacred site a gathering place of welcome, reconciliation, healing and prayer, in the humble spirit of St. Francis.

Please join us on:

Wednesday, November 7 at 7:00 p.m. in the Mission church for a service of prayer and reflection dedicated to healing and peacemaking, featuring voices of wisdom from across our community.

We look forward to seeing you!

Mendocino Was Made for Paddling CHUCK GRAHAM

hen we paddled up to a friend’s rustic, floating cabin on the Albion River, a flatwater runnel in Mendocino, I realized this guy had life all figured out. A watery home gave him endless paddling possibilities along winding, serpentine rivers and California’s burly North Coast.

While we sat on the creaking deck, shaded by towering redwoods, rambunctious river otters jostled and frolicked nearby. The next morning, we paddled to the craggy coast, me in my kayak, my friend Craig on his standup paddleboard. The Mordor-like coastline, honeycombed with toothy sea grottos and wave-battered archways, is a paddler’s paradise.

Expect to experience this nirvana mostly by yourself. Aside from basking harbor seals, whistling HELLO DOWN THERE! A paddleboarder is spotted through the skylight of a sea cave. pigeon guillemots, and soaring ospreys, one can get gratefully lost It’s as if Mendocino were made for sea cave exploamong all the trees and sea stacks. Typically, the transition from one body of water to the next is a ration. The giant sinkhole just west of Big River is simple one, especially at high tide. There’s plenty a favorite, and at high tide you can paddle through to choose from, whether it’s the Navarro River it with bluff walkers looking down wide-eyed from Redwoods State Park or the Albion River or finally above. Some caves are more exposed than others the Big River, a broad swath of water that empties with waves washing through, so let the ebb and flow out onto a large, white sand beach in the middle of of the tide be a guide.

There are several trails and staircases that lead down Mendocino.

Just above that beach and Big River is the to the beaches for easy launching of kayaks and Alegria Oceanfront Inn. The picturesque B&B standups, but if a guided tour is what you’re after, with several cozy cottages and well-manicured you can’t go wrong with Kayak Mendocino. Right gardens is conveniently situated on the Mendocino next to Highway 1 and situated at Van Damme State Headlands. A short, narrow trail leads down to the Park, where Little River spills out into a deep cove, driftwood-strewn beach with easy access to pad- you’ll receive kayak instruction before venturing out. dling bliss.

Reuniting with the Dead

n the first and second day of November, my grandma gathers all her children and grandchildren together at the cemetery to celebrate the dead. My cousins and I decorate the graves of our deceased relatives with flowers of all colors, and we light candles to help them find their way to us.

by NANCY For the entire two days, they RODRIGUEZ are reunited with the living. To my grandma, that means once again being alongside her husband and two of her children, who all died tragically and suddenly.

Día de los Muertos is a uniquely Mexican holiday that blends together Indigenous Aztec rituals OFFERINGS: The author’s family’s ofrenda and the Catholic holidays of All Souls’ Day and All Saints’ Day brought to Latin America by the Span- put together a few days beforehand and lit on the 31st ish. The first of the two-day event is known as Día de of October. The food is also meant to sate their hunger los Angelitos (Day of the Little Angels) because only and thirst after their long journey back to the living.

Along with the ofrenda, families go to cemeterthe souls of children arrive to the land of the living.

Adults arrive on the second day because their souls ies to tell stories of the deceased family members.

Although it might sound like a somber event, it treats are much heavier.

here’s a point where many girls and young women tell themselves, ‘I’m just not good at math,’” said Zoe Hinck, an engineer and the founder of Santa Barbara Women in STEM, which encourages women and girls to expand their professional interest and goals in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math, where they remain far outnumbered by men.

“It’s community-oriented groups like ours that will equip women of all ages with the confidence to pursue any career, even ones that, at first, may seem too hard,” Hinck said, her smile warming the determination in her eyes. What made the difference for her? Access to role models, mentorship, and a growth mind-set.

After a fruitless search for a Santa Barbara organization that could provide support and camaraderie, Hinck decided to create one. “I realized that if I wanted this group to exist, I was going to have to make it happen myself.” She invited a few friends to join her at a downtown café for a “low-key happy hour to gauge interest.” To her surprise, 55 women showed up. Hinck had stumbled upon a hidden treasure of enthusiasm and untapped potential.

Afterward, many of the attendees approached Hinck to request invites to future gatherings. While these professional women had always been here, it was the first time they’d come together with a mutual goal: to buoy each other as they waded through the sometimes perilous waters in the STEM fields.

Maygan Cline, a geologist at Geosyntec Consultants and a lead mentor for Santa Barbara Women in STEM (SBWiSTEM), said her first role model was her mother. “During a time when the workplace was often a man’s world, she made sure to mentor other women at her agency to help them achieve the title and pay that they deserved,” she said.

Cline’s strengths-based approach to advising other women includes résumé review, mock interviews, goal-setting discussions, and, when called for, hugs. One of Cline’s mentees, Paige Tripp, attributed the offer she received to be an environmental scientist at Tetra Tech in large part to Cline’s help. “Because Maygan explained the nuts and bolts listed in the job description, I walked into the interview exhibiting more knowledge about the environmental industry than I imagined I could,” Tripp said.

Since the first SBWiSTEM gathering in July, more than 150 women have attended the group’s events. Partner companies LogicMonitor, Agilent Technologies, and Riskin Partners have all donated their space, time, and expertise.

These and other Santa Barbara STEM firms are interested in recruiting qualified female candidates into their ranks, and now with SBWiSTEM, there’s a pipeline that helps them do just that. A list of area STEM career openings can be found on the SBWiSTEM website (sbwomeninstem.org) along with how to become a partner company.

The next networking workshop is scheduled from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 7, at LogicMonitor Inc., located at 820 State St., in downtown Santa Barbara.

Cannabis

A CBD SMORGASBORD

T

Mini-Reviews of Vape Pens, Balms, and Capsules That Promote Healing, Not Highs

he world of CBDs is a bit overwhelming. Ever since I wrote a short review about San Luis Obispo–based producer Mender in June, there’s been a steady string of deliveries of capsules, balms, and vape pens from around the country to my desk. None of these products gets you high — unlike the stone-inducing THC part of cannabis, CBD, or cannabidiol, doesn’t really have much obvious psychoactive effect. But they all offer a seemingly unending range of beneficial wellness effects, from better sleep to less stress, pain relief to smoother, uh, beards.

The science is starting to line up to support some of those beliefs. But when it comes to determining what effect this brown pill or that foggy vape pull has on my well-being, the immediate results are far from obvious. Like other “alternative medicines” — and we can even throw doctor-endorsed vitamins in that mix — it may only be after prolonged and sustained use that CBDs will fully ease one’s woes.

That said, a rather untracked and somewhat sporadic combination of the following products has helped me sleep better, mellow out during stressful stretches, and even soothe a sore foot, perhaps from both the inside (via a capsule) and out (via a balm). The flavorful vape pens have become a go-to chill-out item in my house, and a good friend swore that one of the balms brought his out-of-whack lower back into better form. I’m startstart ing to think a certain salve is clearing up some dry skin on my shin, too.

Here’s the smorgasbord that’s run through my household purover the past few months. All of these products can be pur chased through the company websites, as it remains legal to ship CBD across state lines.

by MATT KETTMANN

Bluebird Botanicals: Though they used hemp grown in Kentucky when they started in 2012, Bluebird Botanicals shifted farming to their home state of Colorado in 2017. They produce a wide range of CBD items: capsules, oils, concentrates, and vape oils for humans as well as capsules and oils for pets, and isolates,

which are essentially powered CBD. With its wares packaged in vitamin-like bottles, Bluebird feels like a blue-chip CBD company — not a lot of hype, just honest, well-made products. $25-$14,000 (for 1,000 grams of isolate!); bluebirdbotanicals.com JuJu Royal: Bob Marley’s son Julian Marley is behind this line of sublingual tablets, disposable vape pens, and vape juices. They sent me their line of vape juices, which come in three flavors: Reggae Splash (passion fruit–mango– sour apple), JuJu Juice (guava-pineapple-strawberry), and Kingston Cream (banana-strawberry-blueberry).

Keep in mind, you will need your own vape pen for this; I used the Rubi (see below). It’s hard to dislike the flavor of these juices — they’re like breathing in a candy smoothie — and the vapor is thick and impressive, in case you need to show off. $18-$89; jujuroyal.net Lazarus Naturals: This company, like many of the others, produces a wide range of products, and all are packaged very cleanly and professionally: The capsules look like vitamin bottles you’d see in health stores, while the balm tins are reminiscent of spa and beauty shops. The balms are particularly well-done, made from mango butter, organic beeswax, coconut oil, and other nice-smelling extracts, and rub on very smoothly. Most compelling, the employee-owned company from Portland, Oregon, puts its discounts where its pro-CBD mouth is, offering 40 percent off to veterans, active military, those with a long-term disability, and low-income households. $12-$200; lazarusnaturals.com Quanta: This Burbank brand is based in a technology that almost sounds like magic, in which quantum physics is used to enhance the “bio-energy” of the CBD and make it react more quickly with your body. This is the muscle rub that my friend used on his thrown-out back, and he thinks it both numbed the pain and enabled a quicker recovery. The sleek, small pen tastes very mild and feels

very down to business, without flavor frills. $46-$60; quantacbd.com Rubi by KandyPens: If you’re going to get into the vape juice game, you’ll need your own vape pen. This is a simple, clean, and, if needed, discreet device by Kandy Pens, a company that was founded in Santa Barbara. It’s just four inches long, holds 1 ml of liquid (which you carefully eye-drop into the small chamber), and charges via a simple USB-enabled jack (like most everything these days). Beyond that, there are no buttons to push, as it is pull activated. It comes in an array of colors, from black to hot pink. The Vape Guide just named it their favorite pen of this sort. $50; kandypens.com Silk Road: Perhaps the best-designed, smartly packaged, elegantly flavored, and easy-to-use products in this roundup, the Silk Road vape pens come in three different moods: Relax (with lavender and chamomile, for stress relief and sleep); Focus (grapefruit, bergamot, and peppermint, for energy/ creativity); and Relief (tangerine, lemongrass, and spearmint, for soreness/cramps/headaches). Sporting the hashtag #DitchThePills, the line — which also includes a sister series with THC — was created by San Francisco–based David Kram after losing his 26-year-old brother to an opioid overdose. Each pull delivers a moderate amount of soft vapor, and there are about 110 doses per pen. $49; silkroadbrand.com SingleSeed: This Phoenix-based company sells a wide range of items: CBD water, gummies, capsules, lozenges, patches, roll-ons, vape cartridges, vape juices, powders, mists, serums, etc. They sent me the gummies (like skunky candy); the $5 capsule two-pack (lots of packaging compared to other capsule bottles, but an affordable way to start); Nano Salve (which also includes St. John’s wort, arnica, lobelia leaf, peppermint, and cayenne pepper); body lotion (caramel cream aroma); and hair and beard oil (a first for me, and still waiting for results).

In short, a one-stop shop. Prices vary; singleseed.com n

How Not to Raise a

SEXUAL ASSAULTER

T

he political pandemonium of the past two years has left me extremely confused about a lot of things. But of one thing I’m now certain: It’s an assaulty world out there, ladies.

Since #MeToo erupted, the number of women who’ve come forward with accounts of handsy, tonguey, thrusty dates, bosses, strangers, and celebs is shocking. We saw our favorite sitcom dad and pudding peddler sent to jail over such accusations, and a volatile frat boy sent to the Supreme Court despite them.

So I wasn’t surprised when, in response to these reports, parents began expressing dire concern about the world their kids will inherit. However — I was surprised it was their sons they were worried about.

“It’s a very scary time for young men in America,” whined the confessed vagina groper who occupies the Oval. But he’s not the only one fretting.

I’ve heard moms agonizing on social media that our poor boys are suddenly at the mercy of any wounded vixen who gets a wild hair to shatter their reputations. (Let’s be clear: These are white moms, as minority parents have long known how her-word-against-his accusations will end.)

And I get it. It’s our job as parents to think about how things will affect our children— from hot drinks left at the edge of a counter to long-overdue female-empowerment social movements. I have two boys, and I admit I’ve ached for them this year every time “white male” was spit from seething teeth.

Fortunately, the best way to protect your sons from being accused of sexual assault email: starshine@roshell.com is still this: Make sure they never sexually assault anyone.

Our kids learn not to be sexual assaulters when we teach them, as toddlers, that the desire to touch someone else’s stuff is not a license to do so— and when we mirror that non-entitlement back to them by respecting their bodies and their autonomy, too. They learn it when they see their parents treat each other with respect, courtesy, and consideration, and by how their parents react when other people—even family members—treat women unfairly. They learn it when we refuse to conform to or perpetuate gender stereotypes in our homes, and when we speak up about misogynistic rap lyrics or, ahem, the lyrics in my Van Halen playlist. They learn it when we insist on talking about uncomfortable things — like the guy at work who makes creepy comments about Mom’s appearance, or why the porn they’ll no doubt see online doesn’t often depict healthy sexual relationships.

I asked some decent men I know why they’ve never sexually assaulted anyone. As a parent, I found their answers heartening: “I was raised by and around strong women who were at least my equal and likely beyond,” said one.

“It would be dickish, cruel, and I couldn’t enjoy myself if the other person wasn’t into it,” said another.

“I was taught to respect others. That’s really all that’s necessary,” quipped a third.

Strong women. Kindness. Empathy. Self-respect. Respect for others.

That’s not Tiger Mom stuff; it’s pretty basic parenting, right?

I like what Paul Hartzer had to say on The Good Men Project blog: “Instead of teaching my son to fear girls, I’m teaching him to respect them, to not treat them like objects, and to absolutely never assault them, sexually or otherwise. If he does that, I’m confident that under the extremely unlikely situation he’s met with a false accusation of sexual assault, it will be so lacking in credibility that it won’t affect him.”

You never really know if you’re raising good kids until you’re long done.

But in the scope of Things That Currently Terrify Me, I’m not too worried about my boys finding themselves in Kavanaugh’s loafers. We were recently at a restaurant, and my dinner was burnt when it arrived—so I sent it back.

There was an awkward silence as there often is when I confront strangers in front of my embarrassed kids. But my youngest son surprised me.

“Mom?” he said. “I’m glad you do that. I’m glad you speak up for what you want.”

Now about that Van Halen …

Discerning Tradition: Authority, Objects, and the Status of Religion in the Mauna Kea TMT Dispute Professor Greg Johnson

Michaelsen Endowed Visiting Scholar 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.

Once inside, you’re in the hands of estate manager Lesley Ann Couture, who can host several different groups at a time, spread throughout the property: one group can be lounging by the fireplace, while another enjoys a catered lunch from S.Y. Kitchen under the olive trees in the courtyard, another hangs DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER in the library, and so forth. It’s worth a day trip all by itself, or certainly serves as a strong centerpiece for a longer day of exploring wine country.

“This is bigger than Brave & Maiden,” said Kochis when I visited in June, explaining that the plan is to amplify all of Santa Barbara wine country. “There hasn’t been a shiny new toy to talk about in a while.”

As you may expect, shiny new toys are a bit pricier than the typical $15 tasting room fee. At Brave & Maiden, the seated tasting is $30 each for 45 minutes; the 90-minute tour and tasting is $60; the two-plus-hour tour, tasting, and S.Y. Kitchen lunch is $90; and there are add-ons from Cailloux Cheese Shop available for $25 to $45, depending on group size.

Elevated Tasting Experience he tasting room experience is the gasoline of the wine

r

industry’s direct-to-consumer engine. DTC, as it’s called, is the most profitable type of business since wineries can sell their bottles for the desired price rather than at a deep discount, which is what must be done for retailers and restaurants. But as wineries proliferate nationwide, the tasting room, which once felt special and exclusive, is becoming commonplace, so estates everywhere are strategizing on how to stop their DTC fuel from getting further watered down.

“Providing an elevated experience” is the leading tactic now, adopted by optimistic producers from Napa to Paso Robles, and now being employed in the Santa Ynez Valley

by Brave & Maiden Estate. Generally speaking, it means providing visitors with a more informed, comfortable, and longer tasting, almost always in an opulent setting that’s just as transcendent as the wine, and usually with a choice between multiple formats.

That’s the basic formula for Brave & Maiden, which opened to appointment-only visitors in September (though will take last-minute visitors if they have space). Since I first wrote about them in 2015, the winery—which was started in 2011 by the Indonesian industrialist Rizal Risjad and managed by family friend Jason Djang, who works for YouTube during the day — has stayed true to their charted

Though the event on Saturday, November 3, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., will be a first for this town, it’s actually the 20th annual day put on in various locations around the country by the American Home Brewers Association.

“We have a goal of getting 100 new and experienced home brewers to participate in the event,” said BYOB! co-founder Trent Hammell, who’s inviting brewers of all beverages to participate and plans to make the event family-friendly with food, music, and games for the kids.

“We have been hearing a lot there are many people who either used to brew and just don’t have the time or bandwidth anymore, or people who have always wanted to try their hand at brewing their own beverage, but have never had the opportunity to do it,” said Hammell. “This is that opportunity.

Vicenta’s Opens in Goleta C arlos Luna, the owner of five Los Agaves

restaurants as well as Santo Mezcal near the waterfront, has opened Vicenta’s at 6920 Marketplace Drive in Goleta. The full-service Mexican restaurant and bar occupies the completely remodeled space once occupied

by Pascucci, Holdren’s, and Chevy’s Fresh Mex Restaurant, and is serving a different menu from the nearby Los Agaves that opened in October 2014. The bar is managed by mixologist Sean Sepulveda, who continues to work at Santo Mezcal at 119 State Street as well.

There are a number of special nights happening at Vicenta’s, including board games on Tuesdays, free-meal birthdays on Wednesdays (if you bring four or more people), and kids under 10 eat free on Saturdays 1-3 p.m. Every day that you wear a Gauchos hat or jacket, you receive a 10 percent discount, and a 4.0 GPA report card gets you a free meal.

Vicenta’s is open Sunday-Wednesday, 11 a.m.-9 p.m., and Thursday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Call 837-8430 or see vicentasrestaurant.com.

BETTINA OPENS IN MONTECITO: Reader Peter passed

word that owners Rachel Greenspan and Brendan Smith have opened Bettina at 1014 Coast Village Road in the Montecito Country Mart next to Vons, in the space once occupied by Tsunami and Fred C. Dobbs. A brick-and-mortar location for the mobile Autostrada Wood Fired Pizzeria, Bettina is an all-day, full-service restaurant serving beer, wine, and cocktails. Greenspan and Smith first bonded over their love of carbohydrates while he was working as the head baker at Roberta’s Pizzeria in Brooklyn. Today the duo is on a mission to bring the finest pizza and naturally leavened breads to Santa Barbara County.

Bettina’s pizza dough is made with organic flour and is fermented for a minimum of 48 hours. The pizza menu includes Margherita ($14), Pepperoni ($17), Ricotta ($18), Sausage

($19), Butterball Potato ($18), Chanterelle ($21), ‘Nduja ($18), and, for kids, Cheese ($10). The menu will change seasonally.

Bettina is open for dinner daily from 510 p.m. and will be opening for lunch and cocktail hour in late November. Call 770-2383 or visit bettinapizzeria.com.

achary Rosen took the beer world by storm when he became the youngest person ever to become a Certified Cicerone (essentially a Master Sommelier of beer) back in 2010. He’s been banging into beer’s traditional boundaries ever since, hosting multisensory exhibits of hop influence (Hoptopia, June 2014), theatrical explorations of ale and Shakespearean characters (Shakes’Beer, October 2015), and pairings of place with pint (the S.B. Botanic Garden’s annual S.B. Beer Garden, five years running).

His next foray, the result of his residency at the Santa Barbara Center for Art, Science, and Technology (SBCAST), is Biegrnette: Light, Life, & Death, a one-night affair that will pair beer and food from Nimita’s Cuisine with various expressions of art, from interpretive dance to the written word. In “Light Primordial,” for instance, choreographer Katelyn Carano will lead an ambient performance from inside a body cocoon as you sip on Hoegaarden White Ale with a lemon chrysanthemum tea syrup. In “The Seeds of Light,” Draughtsmen’s Nebulous Hazy IPA will accompany a wing-suit dance against a backdrop of green and blue hues.

DAVID CROSBY t’s been a long time since the Age of Aquarius, but David Crosby is one dude who can still deliver the full Woodstock vibe. On Here If You Listen, his new collaboration with the Lighthouse Band — Michael League, Becca Stevens, and Michelle Willis — Crosby and company do exactly that on a fabulous cover of the classic Joni Mitchell song “Woodstock.” Tweaked by Crosby for the new century with a subtly different set of changes, the song still features the golden four-part harmonies that made the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young version on Déjà Vu so memorable. Crosby said he realized this version had to be on the new album that dropped on October 26 after the Lighthouse Band tried it out live. “We got to the first chorus, when our four voices first sing different notes, and the audience burst into spontaneous applause,” said Crosby.

“Not just a few claps,” he added, “but sustained applause, like at the end of a song.”

Such is the magic when this new quartet locks into a chord, and not only on “Woodstock” or one of the other Byrds/CSN/CSNY classics that everyone knows from the radio. Here If You Listen was recorded in just a month of studio sessions, and that includes the time it took the group to write the music, yet the sophisticated harmonies and haunting lyrics and melodies of songs such as “Vagrants of Venice” and “Other Half Rule” are right up there with some of the Croz’s greatest hits.

A couple of tracks, “1967” and “1974,” got a head start. Both were discovered by Michael League, who found them on old demos Crosby had shared with him. The effect of the way these recordings are incorporated into the final release is uncanny. As Crosby said, “It’s like you can hear me in the middle of writing the song.”

Crosby and the Lobero have a history. The musician played his first gig there at age 17,

LEGENDARY SINGER RELEASES A GREAT NEW RECORD

and he’s always loved the way a room of less than 1,000 seats lets him take the audience on a journey and tell them an eveninglength story they will never forget. Speaking of stories and things that people may or may not forget, Crosby said the documentary he has been working on with Cameron Crowe is nearly finished. “I’ve known Cameron since the days when he was a boy reporter. We were one of the bands he followed around back when he was living the story he told in Almost Famous,” said Crosby.

“He has a way of getting things out of me other people don’t,” Crosby said, reflecting on Crowe’s prowess as an interviewer. “The film may be too much for some people, but I don’t care; it’s the truth.”

Last summer, Crosby made a remarkable live guest appearance at the Newport Folk Festival, prompting a YouTube video of “Wooden Ships” to go viral. (The single is now available as something more tangible,

thanks to Jason Isbell’s label Southeastern Records, which released the song this month.) This cover of the classic “Wooden Ships” captures some of the heady feelings associated with this epic jam, a staple of live sets by both CSNY and Jefferson Airplane and one of the greatest story songs of the ’60s.

Crosby stayed on the Newport stage for another, even more rousing number, the protest song “Ohio.” Looking proud and defiant at 77 years of age, Crosby called out to the crowd to sing along. “Louder!” he shouted, and 50 years collapse into an eternal moment, one filled with righteous indignation and glorious hope.

These days, a phone is much more than a tool with which to speak to another person — it’s a boom box, secretary, television, and shopping portal, among other things. Mobiles also serve as an on-the-go camera, with some capable of producing astonishingly highdefinition photos. Of course, a quality picture also relies on composition, which is a decidedly human talent.

With that in mind, the Lompoc Valley Art Association invited pro photographers Debby Fuller and Lynda Schiff to present an art exhibit of pictures shot on their cell phones.The result is Phone-y Photos. For her part, Schiff chose a selection of photos“taken over several years, and mostly in the course of‘real life,’” she said. There are also images from her travels, such as her brightly colored snap of Cadillac Ranch, near Amarillo, Texas. “[It] has become an ever-changing public art exhibit,”said Schiff.“People from everywhere stop by the interstate for a short time, add to the art with spray paint, and move on. I thought it was particularly fitting to use an HDR shot, which causes the person in the photo to appear ghost-like and kind of meld into the art.”

Phone-y Photos runs through November 25 at Lompoc Valley Art Association’s Cypress Gallery (119 E. Cypress Avenue, Lompoc). An artist reception takes place Saturday, November 3, 2-4 p.m. See lompocvalleyartassociation.com.

SBIFF NAMES GLENN CLOSE MODERN MASTER

D

uring her storied career, Glenn Close has played myriad memorable roles. She’s starred in box office hits such as Fatal Attraction and 101 Dalmatians, played the central character in TV’s five-season series Damages, and won a Tony Award for her turn as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.

For her litany of acting accomplishments—including her most recent role as Joan Castleman in the critically acclaimed film The Wife — the Santa Barbara International Film Festival has chosen Close as the recipient of the 2019 Maltin Modern Master Award.

“Glenn Close is one of the great actresses of our time. Versatility is her hallmark, and there is clearly nothing she can’t do,” said Leonard Maltin, the award’s namesake and moderator for

the event. “She became a star with her first feature film, The World According to Garp, and has gone on to play everyone from Cruella de Vil to aging silent-film star Norma Desmond in the stage musical of Sunset Boulevard.”

Established in 1995, the Modern Master Award honors people who have contributed positively to our culture through their work as actors. Close will join an esteemed group of previous recipients, including Denzel Washington, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, Christopher Plummer, Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, Clint Eastwood, Cate Blanchett, Will Smith, George Clooney, and Peter Jackson.

The Santa Barbara International Film Festival takes place January 30-February 9. See sbiff.org.

FAIRY-TALE TOUR: Theater League kicks off its 10th season with Douglas Carter Beane’s adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella.

An Evening with

Peter Asher and Jeremy Clyde

SLIPPER TIME

F

or 10 years, Theater League has been bringing Broadway to the Granada by bringing some of the best touring shows based on recent Broadway musical successes straight to State Street, typically for a two-night run on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. This anniversary season kicks off with one of the most beloved Broadway revivals of the decade, Douglas Carter Beane’s adaptation of the Rodgers and Hammerstein show Cinderella. Although Carter Beane—the screenwriter responsible for To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar—is a playwright and veteran Broadway musical book doctor known for his wit and sophistication, this adaptation of Cinderella is less about the jive and more about the star power of the lead, a role that was originated for this production by Laura Osnes in 2013. It rolls into the Granada on November 27, so expect that your holidays will be filled with dreams of socially conscious princes and heels that don’t hurt, even when they are made of glass.

The anniversary season continues in January with The Sound of Music, another classic musical that’s been given a facelift by some 21st-century Broadway surgeons.

Less dependent on the importation of new songs from other shows than Beane’s Cinderella (just two, and they are songs that were dropped from the film rather than pilfered from other R&H productions), The Sound of Music benefits from an unbreakable, unmistakable, don’teven-think-about-changing-it storyline that director Jack O’Brien wisely respects.

by Charles Donelan In fact, the scenes that will be unfamiliar to those who have memorized the film represent a return to the original musical script, rather than a new take on the material.

What is likely to come across as totally fresh and fun is the choreography

by Danny Mefford, the up-and-coming talent who choreographed last season’s runaway hit Dear Evan Hansen. Mefford knows what he is doing with a teen audience. At the end of their duet, little Liesl and her beau Rolf share a hot onstage kiss.

The rest of the season brings us into more recent times with Evita February 19-20, Legally Blonde April 8-10, and the indestructible, ever-relevant RENT on June 11. You could, and probably should, get to New York City at least once a year in order to be trampled by tourists in Times Square before and after liquidating your savings to see the latest Broadway shows, but in between trips to the City, it’s good to know that in our little town you can slip into the red velvet seats at the Granada and share in the spirit of old and new Broadway musicals with spunky national touring casts and the cream of the crop of recent Broadway productions.

Another reason Layman selected In the Heights is because it takes place in a predominately Latino-American neighborhood, which allows the theater department to “expand the reach of our program to embrace our school’s demographic,” he said. “Washington Heights is a diverse neighborhood in New York facing the dilemmas of most urban neighborhoods — gentrification, rising rents, and lack of affordable housing …. We chose this show to begin the difficult but essential task of creating access to the joy of musical theater through a contemporary, multicolored view of the world. We want the theater to be reflective and inclusive.”

RECORD

“Dishes” is such a great opening track; it sets the tone for the whole record. Did you place the tracks in a certain order for specific reasons or was it haphazard? It’s always a pretty thoughtful process.

Sometimes you sequence a record, and it goes together in a pretty easy way. Sometimes it’s like a puzzle, and you try to sequence it for weeks and weeks and weeks.… One of the things you have to think about is the length of each song and, assuming you’re gonna work on vinyl, then you have sonic limitations based on how long a side can be and how the songs work together.… But, like you said, it seemed as though “Dishes” set the table for the rest of the record in a nice way and created a context and a feeling.

How long did you work on this album? I tend not to pay much attention to outside expectations of timelines. So, they come when they come.…

Everything that I tried to do with this album in the planning stages was frustrated.… I didn’t want to repeat myself and go to the same studio with the same players that I had on the record

You’ve had a long career, maybe because you’re not chasing that radio hit. You’re a lucky dog if at the end of the day you’re not working for somebody else and you’re able to pay your mortgage and keep food on the table. If you’re not looking to be rich or famous, then this line of work may appeal to you…. I mean, it is a lot of hard work. I don’t mean to say that it’s not hard work, because it’s a full-time job and then some, and when you’re working for yourself, you’re never done working and you have to really make a point of taking time to not work, to get yourself out of the trenches, because you’ll be the worst boss in history when you’re your own boss on the clock.

It seems like you’ve created a really good life. Well, it sounds good when I talk about it out loud.

It gets complicated…. But, no, it is. It’s a good life, and I can’t even begin to complain about it, because there’s no democracy in the arts, and there [are] a lot of people I’m sure who would love to play music for a living and I’m one of ’em.

JAZZING IT UP WITH

JEFF GOLDBLUM J

eff Goldblum is loving life these days — and it’s likely you’ll be too should you have the chance to see him play at UCSB’s Campbell Hall on Saturday, November 3. The suave, sweet, stylish star of screen and stage will set the night alight with his Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, a famously upbeat, rousingly elevating jazz band of friends known for their weekly stints at L.A.’s Rockwell Table & Stage club. Formed in the 1990s, Goldblum’s Mildred Snitzer Orchestra is soon to release its first album, The Capital Studio Sessions, on November 9. I spoke to Goldblum about the record, fan adoration, and his wonderment of nature.

We’ve watched you evolve into a living meme, if you don’t mind me saying. How does it feel to see so many aspects of your life and character becoming cherished and celebrated in so many ways? I don’t know about that, but it’s very sweet of you to say. I get a kick out of all of it, however long it’s gonna last. I tune in to check into my Instagram hashtag #jeffgoldblum probably daily, much to the bemused chagrin of my wife—she gets a kick out of it. I like it when people get tattoos of me and draw pictures of me and when they put up that ridiculously large statue of me in London, that was funny and wonderful. A lot of people come to these gigs, and I’m hoping in Santa Barbara too, a lot of people come to enjoy the music, and I like to take pictures with them. I couldn’t enjoy it more.

I did all my homework; I did my piano You wrote beautifully in GQ ACTOR/MUSICIAN AND practicing; I worked out; once about appreciating the THE MILDRED SNITZER I’ve attended to the kids, experience of being alive as we ORCHESTRA PLAY AT UCSB grow older and appreciating Charlie Ocean and River Joe; and things are looking Mother Nature.

find great hope and encouragement,” writes Rebecca Solnit in her latest collection of essays, Call Them by Their True Names: American Crises (and Essays), “in the anxiety, fury, and grief of my fellow residents of the United States. It’s not that I’m eager to see people suffer but that I’m relieved that so many are so far from indifferent.”

Solnit, the author of more than 20 books, including Men Explain Things to Me and Hope in the Dark, has a unique ability to render visible what was locked out of view by a mass media obsessed with the status quo. She also has an exquisite eye for irony, such as the Republican Party’s fixation on freeing corporations from government regulation while with equal and often greater fervor seeking to restrict the rights of women to control their own reproductive capacity.

The pieces in this collection showcase Solnit’s range and depth, whether she’s writing about gentrification in San Francisco, visiting a prisoner on death row, the meaning of Civil War monuments in the South, or a letter to then candidate Donald Trump in which she challenges the New York City native to actually walk the city so he might see—if he would

—the beauty of differences so at odds with his inflammatory rhetoric about immigrants.

As well as being a writer and historian, Solnit is an activist, but one with a long view who traces events back, from the branch to the trunk, the root to the seed, reminding us that social change isn’t linear. Real change moves to the center from the edges. For Solnit, standing up for what one believes in, even when victory seems impossible, is how the seeds of change are planted.

AN EVENING WITH PAT METHENY

T

he Lobero continued its very-muchrequited love affair with jazz on Sunday, October 28, with a visit from master guitarist and composer Pat Metheny. At the helm of his current quartet, which features Gwilym Simcock on piano, Linda May Han Oh on bass, and Antonio Sanchez on drums, Metheny presented a At Lobero Theatre, program unlike any he Sun., Oct. 28. has played before this current tour. Ordinarily, the artist only reaches back to his earliest material at the end of a set; for this special Evening with Pat Metheny presentation, he chose to go there over and over again, opening solo with his Pikasso guitar and then flowing into the Brazilian-influenced tune “So May It Secretly Begin” from his 1987 Pat Metheny Group album & ENTERTAINMENT Still Life (Talking).

The band played continuously for more than two hours, with most of the material coming from Metheny’s catalog of the 1970s and 1980s. There was plenty of excitement for guitar aficionados, as Metheny trotted out not only his trusty Ibanez signature model but also the 42-string experimental Pikasso built for him by Canadian luthier Linda Manzer and the Roland G-303 synthesizer guitar that allows him to sound at times like a trumpet or an electric violin.

The show also contained a surprise cameo from vocalist Tierney Sutton, who sang a new Metheny composition with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman (“The Way We Were,” “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”), who were in the audience. Metheny is a special artist, without question the greatest jazz guitarist of our time, and it is always a privilege to spend a night with him in the Lobero, which he said he considers his “living room.”

Formerly known as Carter Schultz, half of successful hip-hop/ reggae duo Aer, Reeves reinvents his sound, offering up a lighthearted, experimental indie-pop feel. Influenced by the summer season, the EP opens with the playful “Fresh Fruit,” in which he tells a lover she has him “feeling like new shoes” and comparing her to “the sunshine to his summer blues.”

t’s not often that we find two Santa Barbara artists showing together in Los Angeles.

Therefore, it is even more exciting to encounter Ken Nack and Michael Arntz sharing a large retrospective, Ken Nack / Michael Arntz: Santa Barbara, 1960s-1980s, at a contemporary space that’s as well suited to showing their work as the Landing Gallery in Culver City. Both men were not only important artists, as can be seen from the range of work created between 1960 and 1980 that’s on view in this exhibition; they were also both longtime art educators, Nack at SBCC and Arntz at UCSB. As a young man in the late 1950s, Nack showed his paintings at the Whitney, MOMA, and several top-notch galleries and was included on a number of critics’ “artist to watch” lists—including that of Life magazine.

For some artists, Santa Barbara, with its calm and beauty, can have a way of taking the edge off an active, creative mind. The brilliant output went into storage, and that’s lack of an artist cohort capable of offering where it might have stayed if it hadn’t been meaningful critique, dialogue, and network- for Gerard O’Brien of the Landing Gallery ing can have a devastating effect on ideas and in Culver City.

MANDATORY MINIMUM PRISON SENTENCES

You never argued that Cindy was innocent of the charges against her, only that the sentence she received was Draconian. By the letter of the law, Cindy was guilty. We accepted that. What I couldn’t accept or wrap my head around was the sentence she was given — a strictly punitive sentence that gave no consideration to the fact that she was a contributing member of society. She wasn’t a harm or danger to anyone. She had a family and a support system, but none of that mattered.

Cindy, do you remember what you felt? I was hugging my brothers, and this time I knew they didn’t have to let me go.

Every member of your family was affected by Cindy’s incarceration, but no one more poignantly than your father, a hardworking immigrant who loves his family above all else. Watching him on film is gut-wrenching. The days that I filmed with my dad, those moments are etched in my brain for the rest of my life.

Cindy, you’ve been out of prison for nearly two years now. How are you doing? I’m doing great. It was a struggle to acclimate myself, but I had a family and a life waiting for me. I’m happy.

I’m working; I’m with my daughters, taking them to dance lessons and soccer practice.

I’m just happy. n

Vanity Fair

Talk about how improbable it is for a prisoner to win clemency. We should have bought a bunch of lottery tickets. The odds are astronomical.

Even though my sister was granted clemency, for three or four months afterward I woke up almost every night in a panic. It took that long to believe that she was really free.

THREE NEW SERIES TO WATCH THIS NOVEMBER A

HOMECOMING, MY BRILLIANT FRIEND, AND THE LITTLE DRUMMER GIRL

by T.M. Weedon

s film studios start peppering theaters with their Oscar contenders, streaming services are delivering their own high season of online content. Netflix, for example, will be releasing two acclaimed features from the 75th Venice International Film Festival, Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma, winner of the prestigious Golden Lion Award, and the Coen Brothers’ The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, winner of the Golden Osella Award for Best Screenplay. But the bread and butter of online plat-

forms is still found in the series format, and the “here and now and all the time” demand of streaming viewership means a bevy of new series each month.

Some old favorites will be coming back, such as a new season of House of Cards (sans Spacey) on Netflix and the return of Outlander on Starz. For viewers looking for something entirely fresh and unfamiliar on their screens, though, here are three much-anticipated shows premiering this November.

Homecoming (Amazon Prime, Nov. 2)

November 18, captures their girlhood and adolescence together, exploring the mysteries and rivalries of childhood attachment as these two young women navigate the upheavals of growing up, alongside the harsh and violent realities of their impoverished neighborhood.

Viewers allergic to subtitles, beware: My Brilliant Friend is presented in the Italian language and Neapolitan dialect authentic to where the story takes place.

This Gimlet Media original is the showpiece in the latest Hollywood trend of podcastto-screen adaptations. Some other series that first spoke into the microphone before ever stepping in front of the cameras are HBO’s 2 Dope Queens and Amazon’s Lore, but neither had the long-awaited buzz of Homecoming, which premieres on Amazon November 2. Bringing visuals to this adaptation is television auteur Sam Esmail, the man and the mind behind USA Network’s Mr. Robot. Homecoming is propped up by some significant star power as well in the form of Julia Roberts, who is starring in a television series for the first time in her career.

Roberts plays a caseworker at a facility that helps former soldiers in their transition back to civilian life. Fans of Esmail’s work on Mr. Robot who are hoping for something dark and twisty won’t be disappointed, as this seemingly wholesome government welfare program gives way to more sinister conspiracies hidden somewhere deep inside the shadowy halls of power. Homecoming looks to be another taut psychological thriller from Esmail that revels in ratcheting up the paranoia and suspense.

My Brilliant Friend (HBO, Nov. 18)

From antiseptic U.S. government facilities to the grimy, gritty streets of 1950s Naples, for those less interested in psychological thrillers and more interested in psychological portraits, HBO’s My Brilliant Friend may be more to your taste. Adapted from Elena Ferrante’s international best-selling novel of the same name, the series plumbs the joys, horrors, and complexities of childhood. Ferrante’s novels, of which My Brilliant Friend is only the first in a four-book series, chronicle a 60-year friendship between two women.

The eight-part HBO series, which premieres

healing the heart with the MitraClip

Julie experienced fatigue that impacted her daily walks. After an ultrasound of her heart revealed a leaking mitral valve, Dr. Joseph Aragon, an interventional cardiologist affiliated with the Cottage Heart & Vascular Center, treated Julie with the minimally invasive MitraClip procedure.

Today, she is back to her daily walks around her neighborhood.

The Little Drummer Girl (AMC, Nov. 19)

The BBC production of The Little Drummer Girl is more than a series; it’s a television event, and AMC has signed on to share this spectacular moment with American audiences. Adapted from the novel by critically acclaimed spy-fiction author John Le Carré, this limited series will unfold in two-hour installments over three consecutive nights, starting November 19. The series retains the original setting of the novel — the IsraeliPalestinian conflict of the late 1970s — so be ready for big hair, colorful threads, and analogue gadgetry as these spymasters try their hands at some good old-fashioned subterfuge.

The cast includes Michael Shannon (The Shape of Water), whose mere presence is like the brewing calm of a thunderstorm, and Alexander Skarsgård, a native Swede who is becoming increasingly a household name here in the States, after his recurring roles in True Blood and Big Little Lies. Perhaps the most anticipated performance is that of Florence Pugh, in a follow-up to her absolutely devastating debut in William Oldroyd’s Lady Macbeth last year. (Pugh can also be seen in the series adaptation of King Lear now streaming on Amazon Prime.)

This dynamic cast is under the direction of Korean cinema visionary Park Chanwook. Park exploded onto the film scene with the gut-wrenching instant classic Oldboy (2003) and has consistently delivered top-notch filmmaking ever since. After demonstrating the precision with which he could tease out a mystery in the erotic thriller The Handmaiden (2016), adapting Le Carré’s work is a welcome addition to this director’s already impressive oeuvre. n

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 Armstrong demystifies the American hero to a compelling degree, our space race with the Russians provides a nicely disguised undercurrent of urgency

Hunter Killer

O Halloween

(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) Camino Real/Metro 4

O The Happy Prince

(105 mins., R)

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 indecency.”

The film inspires and meanders by turns, but Everett is a magnetizing center of the narrative storm. (JW) Riviera Hunter Killer (121 mins., R) Based on the novel Firing Point, this action thriller stars Gerard Butler as the commander of the USS Omaha, a submarine sent on a secret mission to rescue the Russian president, who has been kidnapped by his own minister of defense. Gary Oldman and Common also star.

Fairview/Metro 4

love letter to the symbiotic relationship between skateboarding and the human condition. Yet the narrative also delves into finding a surrogate family when one’s blood relatives are emotionally absent. Thirteen-year-old Stevie (Sunny Suljic) escapes his dysfunctional home by hitting the streets of Los Angeles with his skateboard in hand. There he finds solace and camaraderie with a group of young skaters — Ruben (Gio Galicia), Ray (Na-kel Smith), Fuckshit (Olan Prenatt), and Fourth Grade (Ryder McLaughlin). Stevie isn’t very good at skateboarding but repeatedly puts himself in danger attempting tricks to feel something via physical pain. Hill cast actual skateboarders, rather than seasoned actors, to play the main characters in the film, and thanks to his great attention to detail, the film bubbles over with nostalgic moments of the ’90s when skateboarding was truly taking off. (JR) Fairview/Paseo Nuevo

Johnny English Strikes Again (88 mins., PG)

Funnyman Rowan Atkinson reprises his role as the bumbling MI7 agent, who has retired from the spy life and is now teaching geography. When a cybercriminal leaks the names of all the current spies, the organization reinstates inactive agents to find out who is behind the sabotage. Laugher and mayhem ensue.

A Star Is Born (135 mins., R) 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.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): You have officially arrived at the heart

of the most therapeutic phase of your cycle. Congratulations! It’s an excellent time to fix what’s wrong, hurt, or distorted. You will attract more help than you can imagine if you summon an aggressive approach toward finding antidotes and cures. A good way to set the tone for your aggressive determination to feel better is to heed this advice from poet Maya Angelou: “Take a day to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.”

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): U2’s singer, Bono, born under the

sign of Taurus, says that all of us suffer from the sense that something’s missing from our lives. We imagine that we lack an essential quality or experience, and its absence makes us feel sad and insufficient. French philosopher Blaise Pascal referred to this emptiness as “a God-shaped hole.” Bono adds that “you can never completely fill that hole,” but you may find partial fixes through love and sex, creative expression, family, meaningful work, parenting, activism, and spiritual devotion.

I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I have a strong suspicion that in the coming weeks you will have more power to fill your God-shaped hole than you’ve had in a long time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Most of our desires are clichés, right?

Ready to wear, one size fits all. I doubt if it’s even possible to have an original desire anymore.” So says a character in Gemini author Tobias Wolff’s short story “Sanity.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Gemini, is to refute and rebel against this notion. The cosmic rhythms will work in your favor to the degree that you cultivate innovative yearnings and unique urges. I hope you’ll make it your goal to have the experiences necessary to stir up an outbreak of original desires.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you’re a typical member of the Cancerian tribe, you’re skilled at responding constructively

when things go wrong. Your intelligence rises up hot LIBRA and strong when you get sick or rejected or burned.

SCORPIO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Each of us needs (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Penetralia” is a something of an island in her life,” word that means the innermost said poet John Keats. “If not an actual island, at least or most private parts, the most secret and mysterisome place, or space in time, in which to be herself, free ous places. It’s derived from the same Latin term that to cultivate her differences from others.” According evolved into the word “penetrate.” You Scorpios are of to my reading of the astrological omens, Leo, you’ll course the zodiac’s masters of penetralia.

Solitude is unlikely to breed unpleasant are, as well as how to get to them and what to do when loneliness, but it will instead inspire creative power and you get to them. I suspect that this tricky skill will come evoke inner strength. If you don’t have an island yet, go in extra handy during the coming weeks. I bet your in search! (PS: I translated Keats’s pronouns into the intimate adeptness with penetralia will bring you power, feminine gender.) fun, and knowledge.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m rooting for you to engage in experi-

mental intimacy, Virgo. I hope you’ll have an affinity for sweet blends and incandescent mixtures and arousing juxtapositions. To get in the right mood for this playful work, you could read love poetry and listen to uplifting songs that potentize your urge to merge. Here are a few lyrical passages to get you warmed up. (1). “Your flesh quivers against mine like moonlight on the sea.” —Julio Cortázar (2). “When she smiles like that she is as beautiful as all my secrets.” —Anne Carson (3). “My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars . . . The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.” —Rabindranath Tagore (4). “I can only find you by looking deeper, that’s how love leads us into the world.” —Anne Michaels

WEEK OF NOVEMBER 1 CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re in a phase of your cycle when

your influence is at a peak. People are more receptive than usual to your ideas and more likely to want the same things you do. Given these conditions, I think the best information I can offer you is the following meditation by Capricorn activist Martin Luther King Jr. “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian environmentalist Edward

Abbey spent much of his life rambling around in the great outdoors. He was an emancipated spirit who regarded the natural world as the only church he needed. In an eruption of ecstatic appreciation, he once testified that “Life is a joyous dance through daffodils beneath cerulean blue skies and then, then what? I forget what happens next.” And yet the truth is, Abbey was more than a wild-hearted Dionysian explorer in the wilderness. He found the discipline and diligence to write 23 books! I mention this, Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to be like the disciplined and diligent and productive version of Abbey.

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian poet Rainer Maria Rilke

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): For renowned Piscean visual artist

suggested that we cultivate an alertness for the everpresent possibility of germination and gestation. On a regular basis, he advised, we should send probes down into the darkness, into our unconscious minds, to explore for early signs of awakening. And when we discover the forces of renewal stirring there in the depths, we should be humble and reverent toward them, understanding that they are as yet beyond the reach of our ability to understand. We shouldn’t seek to explain and define them at first, but simply devote ourselves to nurturing them. Everything I just said is your top assignment in the coming weeks.

Anne Truitt (1921–2004), creating her work was high adventure. She testified that artists like her had “to catapult themselves wholly, without holding back one bit, into a course of action without having any idea where they will end up. They are like riders who gallop into the night, eagerly leaning on their horse’s neck, peering into a blinding rain.” Whether or not you’re an artist, Pisces, I suspect your life in the coming weeks may feel like the process she described.

And that’s a good thing! A fun thing! Enjoy your ride.
