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. COURTESY

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. —Erika Carlos

GUARDED: A recent court decision protects people sleeping in public, like this man and his dog in Plaza de Vera Cruz.

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. —Tyler Hayden

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.

Just after daylight that same morning, near the intersection of Hot Springs and Olive Mill roads, Rupp led a team that rescued 14-year-old Lauren Cantin, buried under a towering pile of uprooted trees, splintered lumber, and chain-link fencing littered with a battered refrigerator, a sedan, and a pickup truck. 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.” In the first 12 hours after the debris flow, first responders made 900 rescues, accord—Keith Hamm ing to Hickman.

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.” Three public meetings led by Police Chief Lori Luhnow on the site selection process are scheduled for November 7 at the Faulkner Gallery, November 13 at the Franklin Neighborhood Center, and November 15 at La Cumbre Junior High School.

New Hurdles Proposed for Immigrants

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. “No parent should be afraid to utilize services they are legally entitled to out of

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.

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.

City Attorney Ariel Calonne would eventually conclude that tents exceeded the protections afforded by the Boise decision. Cops were

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.” While Cappello insisted dispatched to East Beach; tent dwellers were he wasn’t threatening a lawsuit, he all but asked to leave.

Train Advocate Awarded, At Last

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.” Since starting up in April, the morning train which seeks to eliminate the billions in transhas remained popular, with ridership now portation funding coming from Senate Bill 1. staying steady at 115-120 people daily, said “The bigger picture for riding the rails,” said Pacific Surfliner Director Jennifer Bergener.

School Board Studies Ethnic Studies

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.” —Erika Carlos

Where Ruth Is Truth

LAW

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

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

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

Montecito Water Wisdom

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

...

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? — Rick Closson, Santa Barbara

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.

1955 – 2018

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

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. A memorial to honor Daniel Knapp will be held on November 8 at Alameda Park from 3 to 5 p.m.

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

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.

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

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.

“

CAFÉ

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 by Matt Kettmann • photos by Paul Wellman even before the restaurant opened in April 2015. 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.”

Everyone was telling me that I should think about doing this professionally.

Gorgonian Corals: Sentinels of Deep-Sea Habitat Changes Along the West Coast

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,

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.

It’s also when high school and college theater departments present their first play of the academic year.

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.” In the Heights runs Friday-Saturday, November 2-3, at 7 p.m.; Friday, September 9, 7 p.m., Saturday, November 10, at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Sunday, November 11, at 2 p.m. See sbhstheatre.com.

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.

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. —Brian Tanguay

AN EVENING WITH PAT METHENY

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.” — Charles Donelan

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.

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. To learn more about how we heal the heart, visit cottagehealth.org/heart

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. (JR) Camino Real/

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. (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Of course I want you to have more But if you’re a classic Crab, you have less savvy in dealmoney. I’d love for you to buy experiences that expand ing with triumphs.

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.

(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.
